Westerhof and Berkhout lead Tara Pacheco and Berta Betanzos (ESP) in second. French pair Camille Lecointre and Mathilde Géron climbed to third after a fourth and a first.
Different skill sets were tested on the water today but for Mathew Belcher and Malcolm Page (AUS) they remain in control and continue to lead the Men's 470 fleet over the Dutch Coster brothers and Greece's Panagiotis Mantis and Pavlos Kagialis.
"In race one we did quite well and got a nice shift to the right, it was really fickle and nobody had any real idea where to go, you just had to use the opportunity in front of you and hope for the best a bit, things went our way and we finished fourth," said Belcher. "We found ourselves pretty deep in race two but fought our way back from about 25th or worse at one point to finish 11th which was fantastic."
With two second place finishes in today's racing, Portugal's Marinho Alvaro and Miguel Nunes climbed to fifth. Gold fleet race victories were taken by the Japanese duo Ryunosuke Harada and Yugo Yoshida and Finland's Joonas and Niklas Lindgren.
Tom Slingsby (AUS) proved his worth in the Laser today to place second twice in the light air. The World #1 sailor leads from Germany's Phillip Buhl and Andy Maloney (NZL). "It's been so close all week so it was good to finally get some points separation today," said Slingsby. "I had two seconds today and it was a real drag race to the right in both races, I was lucky in race one as I had a bad start and had to tack out to the right anyway and then in race two I got to the right when I wanted."
In the first day of gold fleet racing Marit Bouwmeester (NED) showed why she is the 2011 World Champion after bouncing back from a 15th in Race 7 to fourth in Race 8 which subsequently handed her the lead. Alison Young (GBR) drops to second behind the Dutch sailor and Lijia Xu (CHN) is third.
Piotr Myszka (POL) keeps his first place in the Men's RS:X with another consistent day on the water, but the day's conditions suited his team mate Lukaz Grodzicki (POL) who claimed both races. Shahar Zubari (ISR) climbs to second with Toni Wilhem (GER) in third on equal points with Przemek Miarczynski (POL).
For Maja Dziarnowska (POL) the day was not ideal, the young Pole suffered from the tricky conditions placing 15th and 20th in the Women's RS:X. She concedes her lead to France's Charline Picon (FRA) who raced to perfection with two victories.
With a near perfect day that included two bullets and a fourth place, Australia's Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen (AUS) have climbed to the top of the leader board on 28 points. They sit tied with Manu Dyen and Stephane Christidis (FRA) whose results weren't as flattering as their five top four finishes in the previous six races in big winds. Peter Kruger Andersen and Nicolai Thorsell round off the podium on 35 points.
Deniss Karpak (EST) suffered in the light winds today and loses his grip on the Finn leader board. Following three bullets in the big winds Karpak could only managed a 10-12 scorecard on day four. Proving to be the most consistent is Rafa Trujillo (ESP). The Spaniard went 1-2 to move into the lead on 12 points.
In the Star class Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson (GBR) top the leader board on 14 points followed by Richard Clark and Tyler Bjorn (CAN) on 18 points and Fredrik Look and Max Salminen (SWE) on 20 points.
And in the Women's Match Racing, Anna Tunnicliffe (USA) marches on with a 100% record. The Round Robin will conclude tomorrow before they head into the finals stage. And with Tunnicliffe on form she will be the one to beat.
Damien Seguin (FRA) leads the 2.4mR on 10 points, John Robertson, Hannah Stodel and Steve Thomas (GBR) have a 2 point advantage at the top of the leader board in the Sonar and with four race wins Dan Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch (AUS) are in control in the SKUD.
It will be an early start for the Women's Match Racers tomorrow with racing scheduled to start at 08:30 local time. The rest of the fleets will commence at 10:00 with the Medal Race places set to be decided.

In the land that came up with the phrase "Thank God it's Friday," and a restaurant chain to capitalize on the sense of relief many feel as the work week ends, researchers made an unusual finding in 2012.
Moms who worked full time reported significantly better physical and mental health than moms who worked part time, research involving more than 2,500 mothers found. And mothers who worked part time reported better health than moms who didn't work at all.
Working and juggling family responsibilities can be stressful. But can work, despite its demands, be less stressful than the alternative?
Mothers who worked longer hours had more juggling to do. They had more demands on their time and more stress. How could they possibly be in better physical and mental health?
One answer, of course, is self-selection. Mothers who were in better health to begin with may have chosen to work regularly. Researchers Adrianne Frech and Sarah Damaske, who conducted the 2012 study, also found that moms who worked steadily had other advantages. They were more likely to have grown up with two married parents, more likely to have completed high school and more likely to be in a stable relationship before the birth of their first child.
But in new research, Damaske argues that another factor might have been at play. It's a factor that sociologists such as Arlie Hochschild and psychiatrists such as Sigmund Freud have examined in the past. Hochschild, for one, found that many people find work to be less stressful than their home lives. Work was, in fact, a haven. Freud once said work and love were two wellsprings of emotional satisfaction in life.
In a study of 122 working men and women, Damaske had volunteers collect samples of saliva throughout the day. The samples were later tested to measure the levels of cortisol, a stress hormone.
Cortisol levels didn't spike when the volunteers were at work. They soared when the volunteers were home.
"When we looked at the difference between home and work in terms of their cortisol levels — that biological marker of stress — we found that people's cortisol levels were significantly lower at work than they were at home," Damaske said. The results "suggested to us that people — at least biologically speaking — had lower levels of stress ... at work," she said.
Low-income people and those without children were especially likely to report lower levels of the stress hormone when they were at work.
The idea that work might be less stressful than home life for many people is mirrored in a nationwide poll conducted by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health: Health problems, the death of loved ones and juggling busy family schedules often scored among the top sources of stress in people's lives.
Damaske said there was an important difference between the kind of stress people experience at home and the kind of stress they experience in the workplace.
"No matter how urgent something is at work, you are not as attached to that urgency as you would be to, say, a health scare or the death of a loved one, because we are emotionally entangled at home in a way that we aren't at work," she said in an interview.
Besides, she added, most workers have a trump card to play at work, which they may not feel they have in their personal lives.
"You still know that you can quit, you can look for something else, that you can leave — leave your boss and your bad day behind," Damaske said. "Those aren't exactly strategies that you have for home, right? Most of us aren't going to up and leave our families because they're stressful, although most people's families are stressful from time to time."
Damaske said the study offered a different window into why women who work steady jobs might experience better physical and mental health than those who work part time, or not at all. It is still possible that women who are healthier to begin with are more likely to hold steady jobs, but Damaske said it might also be the case that work had positive effects on women's health.
So why do we hear so much about stressful jobs, bad bosses and difficult demands at work?
One reason could be that people might find it easier to talk about problems at work than to talk about problems and challenges in their personal lives. Social norms, Damaske said, make it acceptable to complain in public about our work lives, but make it difficult to talk publicly about health problems and other stressors in our personal lives.
All this points to one thing. There is pent-up demand in the United States for a new restaurant named "TGIM" — Thank God it's Monday!
We've been reporting about stress in America, and we have more coming, including something today from NPR's social science correspondent Shankar Vedantam, who joins us each week. Hi Shankar.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: Good morning Steve.
INSKEEP: OK. Stress me out.
VEDANTAM: Well, Steve, all our stories have been based on a nationwide poll conducted by NPR, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health. Something really caught my eye in the data. When I think of stress, I think people racing between meetings, crashing up against deadlines. What I found striking in the survey data was the amount of stress people seem to be experiencing outside of their work lives - health problems, the death of a loved one, even day-to-day events like juggling schedules among busy family members. These were among the top sources of stress in people's lives, and it's brought to mind some new research that I'd just seen by Sara Damaske, Joshua Smyth and Matthew Zawadzki at Penn State University. They've been studying stress a home and stress at work. I told Damaske about the survey, and she told me a big difference between stress at work and stress at home was the role of emotional entanglement. Here she is.
SARA DAMASKE: No matter how urgent something is at work, you're not as attached to - to that urgency as you would be to, say, a health scare or the death of a loved one. So I think it makes a lot of sense because we're emotionally entangled at home in a way that we aren't at work.
INSKEEP: OK, that makes intuitive sense when she says it, but is there evidence to show that's true?
VEDANTAM: Yes, so Damaske and her co-authors measured the levels of a hormone called cortisol - this is sometimes nicknamed the stress hormone. Levels of cortisol typically go up during times of stress. They recruited 122 volunteers and had them collect saliva samples at different points in the day because cortisol can be measured from your saliva. Here's the interesting thing. Cortisol levels didn't spike when the volunteers were at work. They spiked when the volunteers were at home.
INSKEEP: Wow, now, I wonder if that is, in part, because when you go to work, it may be a stressful job but you know what you're doing. You know what your job is. You're surrounded by people who may be supportive in one way or another. You go home and things can actually be, in many ways, unpredictable if you talk about a health crisis or problem with your kids.
VEDANTAM: That's right, and it comes down, I think, to a question of control. As Damaske says, we experience different kinds of control at home and work, At work, you actually have one ultimate trump card which you do not have in your home life. Here she is again.
DAMASKE: You just know you can quit. You can look for something else - that you can kind of leave your - leave your boss and your bad day behind - where those aren't exactly, necessarily, strategies that you have for home, right? So most of us aren't going to up and leave our families because they're stressful - although, most people's families are stressful from time to time.
INSKEEP: Shankar, I want to mention that although men are doing a lot more around the home, women still shoulder the greatest burden at home, and I wonder if these stressors are greater for women?
VEDANTAM: Well, it's interesting you should ask that, Steve, because one of things Damaske did do was she asked her volunteers to rate their happiness levels each time they provided a saliva sample. And she found that when you track those numbers, women were significantly happier at work than at home. And this meshes with earlier work that she and others have done showing that work can have protected effects on your physical and mental health.
INSKEEP: At the same time, it's not like work is un-stressful. People do complain about their jobs a lot.
VEDANTAM: That's right, and we hear about this all the time, Steve, and this is something Damaske and I talked about, which is one reason we might hear much more about stressors at work rather than stressors at home - is that it is socially acceptable to talk about stressors at work. It's much easier to talk about having a bad boss than it is to talk about having a bad marriage. Bottom line, Steve - I think there's a market in America for a restaurant called thank God it's Monday.
INSKEEP: Shankar, thanks very much.
VEDANTAM: Thank you Steve.
INSKEEP: We'll see you at that restaurant. You can find Shankar on Twitter @hiddenbrain. You can find this program as always @MorningEdition and @NPRInskeep as well as @NPRgreene. You're listening to MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

"Six years on, a bungled investigation and legal process have left Politkovskaya's true killers free, reinforcing the notion that in Russia, killing journalists is a crime met with impunity," said Nina Ognianova, CPJ's Europe and Central Asia program coordinator. "It is time for Russian authorities to solve a case that has become an international symbol in the struggle against impunity and to guarantee a transparent, open trial for a key defendant due to face court."
Anna Politkovskaya was killed by a hitman on October 7, 2006, in the elevator of her Moscow apartment building. Several defendants were tried and acquitted in the killing in 2009, and Russian authorities insist they are still conducting a thorough second investigation. However, after indicting a retired police lieutenant colonel on charges of complicity in the murder, investigators made a deal with the suspect, under which he would reveal the masterminds of the slaying and be tried behind closed doors. A lawyer for the Politkovskaya family told CPJ today that a formal objection to the suspect's deal will be filed.

I tried it that way. Your right.zerozero wrote:hi Gene, you need 2 things (and even then i'm not sure it gonna work )
- the deb-src for mint and debian repos;
- correct the pin-priority (i was stuck with libcairo2-dev until then), so the preferences file reads 700 for all repos (you already know the drawbacks of that- font rendering might go bummm )
I'd have to update 'libcairo2' from debian to install 'libcairo2-dev' and loose my nice fonts from Clem.
As you know I am real fussy about that. So THAT ain't going to happen.
Going to wait and see.

Nervous breakdown
Today we sometimes speak vaguely of someone 'having' a nervous breakdown. In the 1800s, however, the term referred to a specific medical disorder which was emphatically a nervous illness, not a mental illness. The difference was subtle, but crucial - it kept patients out of asylums. Nervous breakdown was also known as nervous exhaustion, nervous collapse or neurasthenia. It was characterised by pain, weakness, migraine headaches and fatigue. The condition also included symptoms we now associate with depression. These included despair, hopelessness, a sense of uselessness and the inability to take pleasure in any aspect of life. Nervous breakdown struck men and women from all walks of life. It sometimes made them too weak to get out of bed for months at a time. Gradually, in the 1900s, it became part of the broader diagnostic category of neurosis, and disappeared from medical usage. But the term 'nervous breakdown' remained popular as a less stigmatised way to describe a debilitating but temporary episode of mental illness.

Europe Day held on 9 May every year celebrates peace and unity in Europe. The date marks the anniversary of the historical 'Schuman declaration'. At a speech in Paris in 1950, Robert Schuman, the then French foreign minister, set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between Europe's nations unthinkable.
His vision was to create a European institution that would pool and manage coal and steel production. A treaty creating such a body was signed just under a year later. Schuman's proposal is considered to be the beginning of what is now the European Union.
To celebrate Europe Day, the EU institutions open their doors to the public in early May in Brussels and Strasbourg. Local EU offices in Europe and all over the world organise a variety of activities and events for all ages.
Each year thousands of people take part in visits, debates, concerts and other events to mark the day and raise awareness about the EU.

Ready to collapse under your workload? Consider it a form of flattery: With companies today demanding that employees work faster while tackling more complex tasks, the nimble professionals who "get it" have been deluged, says Anat Lechner, associate professor at NYU's Stern School of Business. "When you're that kind of person, everyone knows who you are." Lucky you. Here's how to speak up if you're maxed out, without sabotaging your next promotion.
Speak to the firm's interests
Your manager probably hasn't thought about what else is on your plate when she asks you, in passing, to take on a new proposal. It's up to you to speak up if you don't have bandwidth. "But you have to be able to react within seconds," says New York City career coach Caroline Ceniza-Levine.
Related: Don't let divorce wreck your finances
Keep a running tally of all your projects, so you'll be ready to respond. Then, rather than whining to the boss that you already do the job of five people, you can explain how taking a new project will prevent you from achieving some other equally important task, says Atlanta executive communications coach Darlene Price. You might say: "Jim, the client in New York needs my attention this week so I can close the deal, which is worth $1 million. What should we do?"
Related: Baby on the way? Time to make a budget
Of course, the right approach depends on your manager's personality and the security of your job. You may find it safer to agree to a task but ask for the resources you need to do it. "Say, 'Yes, but to do that, I need x, y, or z,'" suggests Lechner.
Name the right recipient
Aim to hold on to high-profile jobs and offload work that won't help you advance. Instead of letting the duties fall upon your peers, who may not be pleased to pick up your discards, suggest that a junior colleague take an unwanted project as a stretch role. "Something you don't want to do can be useful to someone else," says Ceniza-Levine.
Draw a line in the sand
If a manager essentially tells you to suck it up, you may be part of a workaholic culture or chronically understaffed department where the only way to scale back is to leave, says Price. Once you have a "walkaway" strategy, consider making a final attempt with your boss.
Related: Budgeting for a new home, and a disability
One executive Price coached — who traveled so often her 6-year-old asked her where she lived — tried repeatedly to get her manager to reduce her business trips. Finally she told him she couldn't accept the working conditions and asked if he'd write her a letter of recommendation. "That called his bluff," says Price. With this tactic, you've got to be ready to hear "buh-bye" — but you may be better off in a new job anyway.

The Playing Rules Oversight Panel decided Wednesday that it will issue a directive to all sports playing rules committees to strongly consider a one-year delay when making changes that have a financial or facility impact, particularly for Division II and III schools.
Additionally, PROP decided the timing of such proposals should be considered, and it will encourage committees to propose such changes during the non-change year if possible.
PROP, which held its annual in-person meeting Wednesday at the NCAA Convention in San Diego, received letters in October from the Management Councils and Championships Committees in Divisions II and III that requested a mandatory one-year delay to provide schools with notice and the opportunity to comply with those types of rules changes.
PROP members did not feel a mandatory one-year delay was necessary since it has implemented delays for these reasons in the past.
Changes that impact student-athlete safety will continue to be made without delay.

What is Block Storage?
Block storage is a type of data storage that involves storing data in consistently-sized, easily accessible blocks.
Block storage definition
Ideal for data that must frequently be accessed and edited, block storage refers to a form of data storage wherein files are stored in even blocks. The most common type of data storage, block storage is usually used in SAN environments.
Why block storage?
Although block storage isn't as scalable as object storage, it is the solution for those looking to store data they need to access and change often. With block storage, individual pieces of data can be edited without compromising the entire block of data. Block storage is more expensive and complex, but block data can be accessed without compromising operating system performance.
HPE block storage products and services
HPE solutions will help you consolidate, simplify and increase uptime. And help you address user file data headaches efficiently, effortlessly, and without compromises.

First two ingredients are named meat products
Insufficient meat content, controversial filler
The first ingredient is a named meat product, in meal form. The second ingredient is also a named meat product. This is not a meal ingredient, but is inclusive of water content (about 80%). Once that is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. Ingredients are listed in order of weight, and the dehydrated ingredient would probably be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list. It is unlikely that this ingredient makes a great contribution to the overall meat content of the food.
The grains in the food, rye, barley and oats are all good quality grains, although combined are likely to outweigh the meat content by some margin. Beet pulp is controversial filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. We appreciate the range of probiotics. We note the use of synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality products.
Overall, this product appears to be primarily good quality. It suffers through limited meat content and the inclusion of some low quality filler.

| My knee after one of my several surgeries
Baseball is a sport of perseverance. The odds are against you. To hit an average of .300, or 1 out of 3 at-bats, is considered really good. I've never heard of a ball player hitting .500, which is only half the time. Every time a player walks to the batter's box, they go with confidence, ready to overcome failure. To know my father would go to the batter's box, every time knowing he was ready to beat the odds, gives me the same confidence. It's how I believe I've been able to overcome so many adversities in my life.
When I lost my father I was so bitter and angry, especially at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. This Olympics was where I was supposed to get my first Olympic medal and have my father be there watching as he had done in every other major sporting event I'd competed in. Instead, my father passed away from multiple myeloma (cancer of the blood) on Feb. 12, 2009, exactly one year from the Vancouver Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. To top it off I shattered my kneecap along with my Olympic medal chances six weeks after his death. I went on to have four surgeries to repair my knee, the last one only 16 weeks from the Olympic Games. I made the team, but still could not walk down stairs properly. After the races, it was back to reality. I really did not have time to deal with my father's death due to my immediate injury after he had passed away and then just over a month later having to attempt to make the Olympics with a freshly twice-shattered kneecap. Reality was depressing and I was bitter.
Shortly after competing, I had an amazing chat with another athlete who had also lost their father at the young age of 24 – Carl Lewis. He told me that it would get better. Carl explained that I would never stop missing him, or really stop hurting, just that it would get better once I could let go, and once I did let go I would actually feel closer to my father. I didn't want to listen, because what he had to say was hard to hear. Letting go was the last thing I wanted to do, but he told me to keep faith. He let me know that one day, I would realize my father did his job. That he had left me with all the tools I needed to succeed and continue life without him. Mr. Lewis assured me that I was strong enough to do this, or he wouldn't have left me. These were some of the hardest words for me to hear at the time, but Carl was right. As soon as I was able to let go, I have felt as though my Dad has been right with me. Baseball is a sport of persevering through failure every day, beating the odds, and walking to the plate with confidence to hit the ball every time despite having 'probably' failed the time before. Yup, I'd say he's left me with the right tools because what made a great athlete to my father is never giving up and coming back like a champ to hit the ball. I've taken these lessons with me into life to persevere through injury, loss, and now to another at-bat leading to the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.

vertex brauchte ein neues Briefpapier Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 118 Designs von 25 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Predominately we are commercial ceiling and partition contractors but not limited to all aspects of an interior fitout. Our work include specialty shops, restaurants, clubs and office fitout.
Looking for a company Logo, business card design and letter head.
Vertex commercial interior fitout Pty Ltd
The registered company name is long so emphasis " Vertex " but still including the rest.
" Vertex " means two lines meeting at one point or highest peak so use that idea within your design
We work within the construction industry so a building / architectural theme may be used but not tacky city skylines or roof tops unless you can prove me wrong because we do interior work not structural.
- modern and eye catching yet conservative ( we are interior fitout not interior design)
- 2 tone colours with a hint of a feature colour or in grey scale I want to see both
- Front of business card is logo and full business name
- Back of card is logo half size and other half is contact details
- tacky pictures
- too much colour

About Dental Sealants
Since toothbrushes can't always reach every nook and cranny of the mouth, sealants are an easy way to increase protection against cavities, decay, and bacteria. Manufactured with flexible plastic, dental sealants are applied to the occlusal surface of the upper and lower back teeth. Once in position, sealants prevent food particles and bacteria from reaching the tooth. Patients who receive dental sealants can't feel or see the plastic covering once in place. Our dentists at Parkway Dental can help Missouri City, TX patient's dental enamel to be protected from bacteria and decay.
What to Expect
Having sealants over the teeth at Parkway Dental is an easy procedure that is performed without sedation or numbing. Before the sealants are put on, the teeth will be cleansed and buffed to make sure that plaque and tarter are not being sealed within the tooth. After this occurs, the tooth will be delicately scraped to where the sealant will be placed, then rinsed and dried. Once the tooth is prepared, our dentists will brush on the sealant onto the tooth and use a laser light to secure the sealant. Our dentists will ensure to make certain the sealant is secure.
Treatment Aftercare
With regular care, including consistent at-home oral care and on-going check ups at Parkway Dental with our dentists, sealants can last up to a decade. Our dentists will evaluate the integrity the sealants at every dental appointment. Patients will be kept informed as to whether they need to be replaced. Patients should always brush their teeth at least twice a day, as well as safeguard them by not clenching their teeth and eliminating sticky candy. While sealants are recommended for kids and adolescence, some older individuals may decide to wear their sealants if they have a history of getting cavities.
More Information
Insurance Coverage
Insurance companies typically cover a large portion of the expense for dental sealants for kids and teenagers, but some cover older individuals as well. Parkway Dental's billing staff will confirm with the patient's insurance provider to get the exact benefits that are available. If the insurance plan does not cover the fees for dental sealants our dentists are happy to discuss various payment options. An important reminder is that the cost of sealants is typically less expensive than a filling or other dental repair.
Plan Your Procedure
Delay Decay
The majority of our patients can benefit from the safeguarding of dental sealants. They keep the back teeth protected with an easy procedure. To protect the teeth from decay and bacteria, dental sealants are a nice option for individuals who want better dental exams with our dentists at Parkway Dental in Missouri City, TX. Although they can't be sensed, sealants combined with a consistent home oral regime can give you a healthier smile.

Certified Math Tutor Billings MT. Find Affordable Tutoring for elementary school, middle school, high school and college.
Finding a private tutor is the treatment for this. In 1759 he published Theory of Moral Sentiments. The best way to keep teens focused is to incorporate things that interest them. The trainer matching service allows you to get the best tutor as well as tutors to match your academic goals and needs. I'm extremely happy to meet you. This is the other way to guess that your child needs to be pulled up. Aristotle does not believe that sense perception can give us scientific truth because it cannot explain the facts or give us the reason to why something is the way it is in its scientific purity. Many of the topics in science are interesting to the kids while others just put them to sleep. It helps in building confidence and in future helps in enhancing sociability of the student. As the Clinton draw down of the military evolved, my job specialty was incredibly over-staffed. A struggling reader wears many disguises. They might smile, eagerly look forward to attending the tutoring session, or simply like their schoolwork a bit more than before. I know organic chemistry. At the tuition centre make use of certain English videos that will enhance the understanding of the language. In most cases the student require a microphone and speakers. The kids develop a remarkable array of strategies to avoid reading. Considerations include: Student avoids doing work at almost any cost Indications of declining grades are apparent Student needs excessive help with homework Student takes excessive time to complete homework Parents find themselves re-teaching basic skills Student seems frustrated and inclined to make excuses for inadequate performance in school If any or all of these symptoms seem apparent, serious consideration should be given to hiring a tutor. Same would be true for a teacher in an established school. This all too frequent confrontation can be avoided through some simple proactive steps. Where does tutoring take place? Some also have trouble with stoichiometry since there is no one method for solving these problems. The increasing use of Internet has also created many job frauds in which the companies fail to pay their employees on time. Avoid hiring this person, or inviting this person to your house. This is not the way we see things today, but some believe it should be. To take your child on the path of success you will have to depend on tuition centre. Give students assignments that will enable them to practice on all the above three skills. When the confidence level of the student is high he will be able to take up any problem and solve them with an open mind. If so, tutoring may be an option to help your child succeed. He spent so much time studying the botany and zoology of the island of Lesbos that his work that has survived has been invaluable to many scientists studying in modern times.

Key returners: Brown, sr., jumps; Schrader, jr., distance; Stephanie Milroy, sr., jumps; Monica York, jr., distance; Aslim Nachman, jr., sprints; Kara Alvarez, so., high jump/sprints
Impact newcomers: Savannah Long, fr., hurdles/pole vault; Courtney Patrick, sr.
Outlook: Brown should be one of the state's top jumpers in both the long jump and triple jump and will look to improve upon her top-10 finishes at state last season. Schrader, who won the Northern Illinois Big 12 cross country title, will be one of the area's strongest distance runners.
DeKalb has a lot of returning athletes in a number of events and Smrz said they have 50-plus girls on the roster.
Smrz's take: "We've got a bunch of girls from girls basketball. A couple of them are great leaders for us. We're really excited for that."
Coach: Barry Schmidt (13th season)
2012 accomplishments: Danielle Neisendorf placed seventh in the high jump at state.
Key returners: Neisendorf, sr., high jump/sprints/pole vault; Brianna Kramer, jr., hurdles/sprints; Renae Kurpius, sr., distance; Vanessa Garza, sr., jumps/sprints
Impact newcomers: Carly Fischer, fr., throws; Briana Campbell, fr., middle distance
Outlook: G-K will continue as a Class 2A school and it will be tough for the Cogs to compete in the Big Northern Conference. Schmidt likely will rely on a couple of girls to score points in multiple events for G-K.
Schmidt's take: "We have a core group of veterans to provide leadership to the rest of the team who are very inexperienced. Our sectional is tough once again, with many quality programs who place many athletes at state."
Coach: Greg Burks (12th season)
Key returners: Beth Klein, sr., high jump, 400; Kristen Clark, jr., middle distance; Katie Hoffman, jr., middle distance, 300 hurdles; Emily Clark, so., distance
Impact newcomers: Bridgette Edmeier, sr.; Lexy Seierstad, sr.; Courtney Carls, fr.; Andrea Curry, fr.; Madison Davies, fr.; Madison Kibling, fr.; Sophia Peters, fr.
Burks' take: "We have a hard working core of four returners and some new faces to mix in this year also."
Coach: Dane Bell (ninth season)
2012 accomplishments: Kalia Foster set numerous school records in distance events and Chantel Kyler qualified for Class 1A state meet in high jump.
Key returners: Kyler, so., high jump; Emily Schilling, so., distance; Ariel Russell, sr., long jump; Kate Thuestad, sr., throws
Impact newcomers: Alex Van Whye, fr., hurdles
Outlook: Indian Creek got a nice surprise last season when Kyler, only a freshman, cleared 5-4 to qualify in the high jump.
Bell said the Timberwolves have a good number of girls out for the team. There are a few holes, but Indian Creek should have good depth in numerous events.
Bell's take: "It looks to be a pretty good season for us, and if all goes well, we could send a handful of girls to state."
Coach: Doug Ecker (fourth year)
2012 accomplishments: Kaneland took fourth place as a team in a sectional and qualified two relays and three athletes for the state meet, with two individuals advancing to Saturday's finals.
Key returners: Sydney Strang, jr., 800; Lauren Zick, jr., 400; Amanda Lesak, sr.; Maggie Brundige, sr.; Jessica Kucera, so.; Kaltrina Ismaili, so.; Ashley Castellanos, sr., triple jump/sprinter
Impact newcomers: Victoria Clinton, so., distance; Brianna Bower, fr., distance; Allie Heinzer, fr., sprints; Olivia Galor, fr., sprints; Elle Tattoni, so., throws
Outlook: Strang took 11th at state in the 800 and Zick made it down state in the 400. The 4x800 and 4x400 relay teams return from last season, meaning Kaneland should possess a number of quality athletes throughout the running events.
The Knights also will get a boost from Clinton, who won the Class 2A cross country championship in the fall.
Ecker's take: "We actually go five or six deep in quality sprinters. In the past, we haven't been able to do that. We don't have a whole lot of depth in the field events, but we have some individuals scattered around those events."
Coach: Joe McCormick
2012 accomplishments: The Spartans' 4x800 and 4x100 made it to state while senior Lake Kwaza took second in the 100.
Key returners: Maggie Lalowski, jr., distance; Stephanie Cole, jr., distance; Morgan Morreale, jr., distance; Lilia Edwards, so., hurdles/jumps; Brianna Iwans, jr., 400; Sarah Grant, jr., throws
Impact newcomers: Paige Wogen, so., jumps/sprints; Alyssa Feuerbach, fr., throws
Outlook: Sycamore lost Kwaza to graduation, but hopes to make up her points with a strong corps of sophomores and juniors. Edwards already has put up impressive marks in the triple jump and Sycamore returns a nice complement of distance runners.
McCormick's take: "I'm pretty excited about the jumps. Our field events are probably going to be our strongest events."

startive necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 45 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
We are launching a new online document editing and collaboration service at http://www.editor.com. We need a Web 2.0 inspired site design to represent the service, the key themes are Writing (word processing), Collaboration & Sharing. Sub-themes are easy-to-use, free & suitable for all users.
The trick with this project is making it unique and interesting while keeping it simple and obvious to use. It needs to be relevant to word processing / file editing / document collaboration so people stumbling across the page will instantly get it. It also needs to indicate cloud computing and "Software as a Service" so people get that it's an online service, not a download software product.
Target users is very broad & primarily consumers and SME audience. The service is design to be very simple to use so the design should represent that with a clean and simple style.
The page to be designed is the main front-page it should include: a short description section (3 paragraphs, each with a title - "Easy-to-use", "Collaborate & Share", "Free!"), and two main buttons: "Start a new document" & "Open an existing document".
We want people to try out the service so these buttons must be very clear.
The other sub-elements required on the page are:
- Sign Up/Sign In, My Account/Sign Out buttons or links.
- Links/menu to other main pages of the site: About, Help, Contact
- Footer copyright note and links to Terms of Service, Privacy Policy.
Additionally you need to supply a generic button design in .AI format that can be used for other action buttons on the site, i.e. "Save Document", "Edit Document".
This website needs to quickly instill trust and professionalism while also having a soft consumer edge so people know it's going to be easy-to-use (& FREE).
There are many common themes you can pull in with "document editing" so please try and make something relevant (i.e. a user should be able to look just at the site and instantly know what the site is about).
Please use the colors included in the attached logo as the base colors, please feel free to use complementary highlight colors so it's not bland.

Take Off Your Pants And Jacket comes in three different variations. You may notice that the cover of the album has three icons; an airplane (red) for "take off", a pair of pants (yellow) for "pants" and a jacket (green) for "jacket" (each of the songs is represented with a similar icon on the inside cover. The image on the disc itself is taken from one of those three cover icons, and the three variations each contain a somewhat disturbing "joke" song, and a "serious" song. The color of the disc (and therefore, the names of the two hidden tracks) can be determined by the sticker on the album's wrapper that tells the featured songs - it is either red, yellow, or green.
How to find it: Go directly to track #15 (green disc variation only)

The fate of public exchanges under health reform is still up in the air as states struggle with implementation, but private exchanges are gaining momentum among insurers and employers alike.
Health consulting firm Mercer said that 10 major insurance carriers — including Aetna, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare and a number of Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans — have signed on to the firm's private exchange for 2014 enrollment.
The consulting firm in January announced the launch of Mercer Marketplace, a private benefits exchange designed to help employers and employees by offering them a one-stop-shop for their benefits from multiple insurance providers.
"With 56 percent of employers considering a private exchange to provide benefits to their active employees or retirees, the transformation of the U.S. health care landscape is well under way," David Rahill, president of health and benefits at Mercer, said in a statement.
Private exchanges work similarly to the public exchanges set up by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) in that consumers will be able to compare and choose their own health plan. For the most part, employers give workers a set amount of money to spend on health insurance and other ancillary benefits in a private exchange.
The hope is that exchanges will increase competition between health insurance plans, thus leading to better prices for consumers.
Mercer's exchange will be available to employers with at least 100 employees. Options under the Mercer exchange include a wide array of core medical and voluntary benefits, constituting more than 20 lines of coverage.
Mercer executives cited employee benefit transition as their reason to open up the exchange. Mercer President and CEO Julio Portalatin said earlier this year that "a number of critical factors" — including the unsustainable rise in benefit costs, health care reform, consumer-driven solutions and improving technology — is changing the way benefits will be delivered to consumers.
Mercer and other corporations are getting into the exchange game to be a part of the new phenomena.
In many circles, private exchanges have been more popular than their public counterparts. While states still grapple with how to deal with their public exchanges, private exchanges have been getting good feedback, industry insiders say.
Consulting firm Aon Hewitt, which launched its corporate exchange last fall, said last month that more than 100,000 U.S. employees successfully enrolled in health benefits through its exchange during the 2013 annual enrollment period last fall.
The firm claims that the exchange empowers employees to become more "astute health care consumers."
According to Aon Hewitt's post-enrollment analysis, almost 80 percent of enrollees felt confident they chose the health plan that offered the best value for them and their family, and almost all (93 percent) liked being able to choose among multiple carriers.
"When given more options, employees become empowered to make individual choices based on value, provider network, price and health status," said Ken Sperling, Aon Hewitt's national health exchange strategy leader. "Employees like having control over such an important decision and appreciate not being limited to a pre-determined plan and insurance company."
Darden Restaurants is among the employers using Aon Hewitt's exchange.
"This year, we were able to offer a broader array of health care choices than we have in the past, giving our employees the flexibility to choose the level of coverage that best meets their needs at a price they could afford," Danielle Kirgan, senior vice president of total rewards and shared services at Darden Restaurants, said in an Aon Hewitt statement.
Meanwhile, the government is beginning to market the public exchanges to consumers. In January, The Department of Health and Human Services relaunched healthcare.gov, a website aimed at informing consumers about the health reform law while giving them a place to purchase insurance.
But the marketing effort hasn't been easy — the exchanges have gotten pushback from some Republican governors, some who refused to set up a state exchange. Others complained there hasn't been enough guidance from the government on how to do so. Though the government intended for each state to implement their own exchange, the federal government is taking on that role in half the states.
There's also the huge hurdle of uninformed consumers who are unaware of what the exchanges do and what health reform means for them.
According to a recent survey by InsuranceQuotes.com, for example, 90 percent of Americans don't know when the new health insurance exchanges will open.
Open enrollment starts Oct. 1, with coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2014.
Beginning Jan. 1, when coverage takes effect in the exchanges, virtually everyone in the country will be required by law to have health insurance or face a tax.

Fitted with A1, Universal, type chuck plates* with 59mm hole spacings. Transparent unless stated otherwise
40 illustrated investigations with the Mathomat V2 template. Put students 'into' a situation so they can make sense of the mathematical relationships and operations involved. This helps in forming and operating on the mental imagery that is central mathematical thinking.
More about Mathomat. 14 pages of further investigations with the Mathomat V2 template. These less contextualised activities encourage students to build on the investigations from section1.
Mathomat V2 diary. A place to deepen understanding of the Mathomat V2 activities through reflection and by learning to classify patterns that have been previously created; such as classifying the vertices formed in tessellation designs
In the new 'Understanding angles investigations' learners are encouraged to develop a concept of what an angle is, before using the Mathomat protractor for precision angle measurement. These activities reflect research studies* which argue that students develop a spatial structuring of angle by abstracting what is common between three distinct angle contexts; corner angles (where both arms of the angle are visible), slope angles (in which only one arm of the angle can be physically seen), and turning angles in which all features of the angle must be imagined dynamically. Our new Mathomat V2 instruction book gives students the opportunity to draw and measure the standard angle concept in these situations. This activity is scaffolded by asking students to visualise a drinking straw as they work. Students are asked to use the Mathomat protractor for precision measurement to confirm their initial estimates of angle size. A key skill in this precision measuring task is to be able to imagine, and to mentally place, the second arm of the angle after alignment of the physical Mathomat protractor.
The Get transforming investigation in the Mathomat 4th edition student book is being extended in the Mathomat V2 student manual to give students a sense of the four transformations underlying earlier tessellation activities. These fully explain the transformation of motifs without changing their size or shape and are sometimes called the isometries of the plane. They are: rotation, translation, reflection and glide reflection.
The Mr Symmetrical activity from the Mathomat 4th edition student book is being extended in the Mathomat V2 student manual to give students experience with rotation and reflection as symmetry operations which transform a shape into itself. This includes classifying each of the Mathomat shapes according to its number of line and rotational symmetries.
In the diary section of the Mathomat V2 manual learners will be asked to 'size-up' the potential symmetry operations in Mathomat at a single glance through use of scientific classification of their symmetry properties.
The version 2 Mathomat will be available in June 2018, and is a more powerful product - being the same size as the current Mathomat but with many new functions and features built into its design. These include:
The new large regular octagon, and the resized large regular pentagon combine to form a group of regular polygons with 15mm sides to compliment the very popular existing regular polygons with 10mm sides. Students now have more creative freedom in 2-D designs to suit their project style.
The Mathomat V2 manual is a rich source of creative drawing ideas; for classroom or individual student use.
Sometimes students want to fill the whole page with their drawing. At other times its best to leave space for the remainder of a presentation. The Mathomat V2 offers both creative options.
The solution to a senior school trigonometry problem. Finding the hours of the day at which it is safe to cross the harbour bar of a fishing village by boat
The larger sine curve makes a striking improvement to hand drawn sketches. The integrated unit circle allows students to find angle values as distance travelled around its circumfrence before locating them on the x-axis of the graph of that function.Lesson 11 in Maths with Mathomat in the free resources section of this website provides a comprehensive plan for using Mathomat with the unit circle method of teaching trigonometry.
A new 1:2 scale ruler for detailed drawings, especially useful in engineering drawings
Ask students to redraw this section at a scale of 1:2 using their Mathomat V2 template
The many circles on Mathomat have a revised set of graduations to create interesting fractions such sevenths, and ninths, to challenge students to think flexibly about numbers
A new kite, non isosceles trapezium and concave quadrilateral (arrow head) for drawing
The polygons in the Mathomat V2 template flow in a clockwise direction in hierarchical order according to shape property. Students are encouraged to consider shape property continuously while working with the new V2 template

A corner desk is one of the most useful working spaces there can be. There is plenty of surface space, room to move, yet a certain security that comes with the desk design as well. What type of corner desk should you choose for your space? Here are three things to consider with the modern corner desk of today.
Wish to buy this product? Then you can check its price below (it's sortable):
#1. Glass or wood are equally beneficial. The type of material you choose for your corner desk will be reflective of the style you want in the room. Wood desks tend to provide more of a warm, traditional look. Glass desks tend to provide more of a clean, modern appearance. Both styles are strong and durable.
#2. Wood desks tend to have better storage options. If you want to have a lot of desk storage, then a wood desk is a better option. The drawers can be integrated into the desk instead of being standalone units. Glass desks tend to have a keyboard tray and that's about it.
#3. The feet of the desk matter. Wood and glass desks tend to have casters or other items on their feet that are made of materials that can sometimes corrode. This can quickly damage a carpet or area rug should that happen.
A corner desk is a solid addition to a home office, a bedroom, or any other room that needs some working space. You'll find they are affordable and stylish. Consider these options as you look at corner desks and you'll select a good one.

Securing Unstructured Files
Right now, sensitive and regulated data could be anywhere. Some file encryption options can help you secure data in specific systems, such as a particular kind of database. However, what happens if a spreadsheet that contains sensitive data is extracted from the database?
To establish strong protections, IT teams need a central encryption platform that can secure sensitive data wherever it resides—which is why so many organizations rely on the Vormetric Transparent Encryption file encryption system.
