In this 1957 box-office hit, 'Presley's best film' according to Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide, the king plays Vince Everett, a man jailed for manslaughter after a bar fight. While in prison, Vince learns to belt out tunes. After being paroled, he then follows a bumpy road to music and movie success. Six Presley songs by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller spike the story, including 'Treat Me Nice', 'I Wanna Be Free' and the classic shimmy-shakin' title tune that was Presley's favorite of all his films' production numbers.
DVD Special Features:
In one of his most popular movies, Elvis Presley shared the screen with Ann-Margret in Las Vegas, easily creating the most electrifying teaming Elvis had on-screen. He's Lucky Jackson, a Grand Prix race driver working at a casino to raise cash for a new engine; she's a hotel swimming instructor. The romantic action revs up from their first meeting. Veteran director George Sidney, who guided Ann-Margret in the prior year's Bye Bye Birdie, combines the hormonal heat wave with fascinating sights of 1960s Las Vegas. Songs include the high-roller title track, the stars' duet on 'The Lady Loves Me', her sultry 'Appreciation' and the king's version of Ray Charles' 'What'd I Say'.
Special Features:
The 1962 Seattle World's Fair, with its showpiece Space Needle and monorail, provide the setting for this rollicking adventure. When pilot-for-hire Mike (Presley) gets grounded by his co-pilot's (Gary Lockwood) gambling debts, the pair decides to hitch to Seattle where Mike finds love, Danny finds easy marks, and both find big problems to solve. Elvis has ten songs in this movie including 'Happy Ending', 'Relax' and the gold record 'One Broken Heart for Sale.' A young Kurt Russell plays the child who wallops Mike in the shins.
In his 15th film, the king takes on two roles in this backwoods romp, playing dark-haired Air Force Lt. Josh Morgan and Morgan's adversary, blonde good ol' boy Jodie Tatum. Lt. Josh's assignment is to try to convince his look-alike cousin, Jodie, to allow a missile site to be built on his land. The movie features a fistful of tunes, including 'Barefoot Ballad', 'It's a Long Lonely Highway', 'Tender Feeling', the title song and 6 others). In addition, enjoy some whoop-it-up-dancing and 13 mountain cuties called Kittyhawks to add to the down-home delights.
Special Features:
Rock 'n' roll's first icon was ranked 6th among the top box-office stars when he headlined this film. In the movie, Elvis portrays Chicago club singer Rusty Wells. Rusty, when not wowing the crowds from the stage, receives the added task of watching over the overly exuberant daughter of his boss (Harold J. Stone) while she's on vacation in Fort Lauderdale. Shelley Fabares, a singing star in her own right (her 1962 tune 'Johnny Angel' was a #1 hit), plays the boss' daughter. Songs included in the film are 'Do the Clam', 'Good News', 'Puppet on a String', the title tune and eight others. Also featured are Mary Ann Mobley and Gary Crosby.
Special Features:
Looking for part-time work until rodeo season opens, Lonnie Beale (Elvis) finds himself at a dude ranch/spa for actresses and models. Lonnie enjoys his share of laughs as he meets girl (Jocelyn Lane), loses girl and gets girl back - plus a fortune in lost gold. This film includes nine tunes, including 'I'm Yours' and 'Such an Easy Question.' There's also considerable tickling of the funny bone since writers Elwood Ullman and Edward Bernds are veterans of the Three Stooges comedies.
Special Features:
Johnny Tyronne (Presley) is a swashbuckling action-adventure movie star and ladies' man on a goodwill tour of the Middle East to promote his latest film. He is kidnapped by a clandestine group of assassins that want him to kill a desert king. Sand and songs swirl throughout this tale as Johnny escapes and heads back to civilization, but not without teaming up first with former Miss America, Mary Ann Mobley. The film was directed by former movie hoofer Gene Nelson (OKLAHOMA!) and features such song hits as 'Kismet' and 'Harem Holiday'.
Mike McCoy (Presley), a part-time race car driver and lead singer for a band combo, has his foot on the gas and his eyes on the road as three women with marriage on their minds race after him. Shelley Fabares (his co-star in Girl Happy) plays the rich girl spoiled by her wealthy father (Carl Betz, who also played her father on TV's 'The Donna Reed Show'). Deborah Walley ('Gidget Goes Hawaiian') is the drummer in his band looking to beat out a rhythm to his heart, and Diane McBain (TV's 'General Hospital, Days of our Lives') plays a writer researching a book about 'The Perfect American Male.' Songs include 'Never Say Yes', 'Adam and Evil', 'All That I Am' and 'Stop, Look Listen.' In this film, there are no brakes on the fun.
In this comedic mystery romp, Elvis portrays Guy Lambert, a singer on tour in London who gets involved with a love-struck teenage heiress (Annette Day), a sexy temptress (Yvonne Romain) and a jewel smuggling operation. Who knew trouble could be so cool and so much fun! Some of the songs from this movie include 'City by Night', 'Could I Fall in Love', 'Long-Legged Girl' and 'There's So Much World to See'.
In this film, Elvis portrays amiable Navajo rodeo star Joe Lightcloud, who returns to his home to help his tribe become cattle ranchers. A talented ensemble of screen veterans joins Presley for this good-time, two-fisted tale filmed in and around Arizona's scenic Sedona. Burgess Meredith is Joe's rascally father, Katy Jurado is his tough-love stepmom and Joan Blondell is the shotgun-toting local gal setting her romantic sights on Joe. Plenty of fun and a couple of tunes (the title track and 'Dominique') are along for the ride too.
Special Features:
In this high-octane laugh fest, Elvis Presley sings his way around the race circuit as successful speedway driver Steve Grayson until his wise-cracking manager (Bill Bixby) files a bad tax return. The engines rev-up and the chase begins when IRS agent (Nancy Sinatra) arrives on the scene. The laughs in this film are further enhanced by talented comic actors, Gale Gordon (TV's 'The Lucy Show') and Carl Ballantine ('McHale's Navy'). Music includes songs such as 'There Ain't Nothing like a Song', 'Let Yourself Go', 'Your Time Hasn't Come Yet, Baby' and 'Your Groovy Self'.
In his 28th film, Elvis Presley takes on more 'adult' comedy. He portrays frazzled photographer Greg Nolan, who is juggling two jobs and scrambling to keep his work life afloat, while also contending with the kooky attentions of a beach beauty (Michele Carey). Four breezy songs, including the Elvis chart-buster 'A Little Less Conversation' and the 'Edge of Reality' dream sequence add to the zippy fun.
Special Features:
The Elvis on screen here isn't the clean-cut, all-American kid ready to hit the beach or dance floor. Instead, stubble covers his face, his hat hangs low over his eyes, and a bandanna hides the ugly scar that marks him as a killer. Written and directed by Charles Marquis Warren (creator of TV's 'Gunsmoke', 'Rawhide' and 'The Virginian'), this stark, sagebrush, non-musical saga follows an ex-outlaw trying to go straight — but he's got a score to settle when his own gang frames him for a heist.
Special Features:
This comedy/drama is a change of pace for Elvis, who stars as Walter Hale, a manager of a 1927 traveling show that starts to develop some trouble when it hits Radford Center, Iowa. The film is packed with colorful co-stars including Vincent Price, Marlyn Mason, John Carradine, Joyce Van Patten, Edward Andrews, Sheree North and Dabney Coleman. The movie includes the songs 'Almost', 'Swing Low Sweet Chariot', 'Clean Up Your Own Backyard' among others.
It's summer 1970 and this concert documentary allows unrestricted access to the hottest show in town, Elvis Presley, during his milestone four weeks of appearances at the International Hotel in Las Vegas. Dozens of tunes (including favorites 'All Shook Up' and 'Suspicious Minds') are included as the camera follows the show's development from rehearsal to stage.
Special Features:
From executive producer and award-winning documentarian David L. Wolper ('Roots', L.A. Confidential), THIS IS ELVIS is an intimate, behind-the-scenes portrait crafted by Andrew Solt (Imagine: John Lennon) and Malcolm Leo (Rolling Stone: 20 Years of Rock 'n' Roll). Elvis' 'authorized biography' draws on interviews with the people who knew Presley best — family, friends, employees and mentor/manager Colonel Tom Parker. The movie includes some rare, never before seen footage, including home movies, newsreels and several key TV appearances.

Monica Bhide's Saffron-Cardamom Macaroons Recipe
I was going to finish the week off with leftover Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches, but after Thanksgiving dinner, then turkey pot pie, then curried turkey salad wraps, I'm done with turkey. Since I'm the ONLY person in the blogosphere who bought a 23.5 pound turkey for four people, I think it's safe to assume that I am the ONLY person who still has leftover turkey. So the rest is going in the freezer, and I'm moving on to Christmas cookies.
If you're looking for a unique Christmas cookie this year, try Monica Bhide's Saffron and Cardamom Macaroons. They're easy to make and are remarkably fragrant and sweet. Though I have baked with cardamom before, I have never baked with saffron. Like most people, I've always relegated saffron to savory dishes, but Monica has convinced me that saffron has a sweet side. Because of its floral overtones, it works well in these sweet and spicy cookies.
Want to share in our big, festive Eat Christmas Cookies event? Find out how here. (Several Santa prizes will be given out throughout the event.) And check out the stash of Christmas cookies we've gotten so far.
Saffron-Cardamom Macaroons
Yields 35-38 small macaroons (I made about 20 larger ones)
This recipe is from Monica Bhide's cookbook, Modern Spice.
Print recipe only here.
1 (14-ounce) package sweetened shredded coconut
10 ounces sweetened condensed milk such as Eagle brand, from a 14-ounce can
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 teaspoon saffron threads, crushed
1/4 teaspoon table salt
2 small egg whites, whipped to peaks
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly spraying with nonstick spray.
2. Combine the coconut, condensed milk, cardamom, saffron, and salt in bowl. (It will form a mixture that is not like typical cookie dough, but once the egg whites are folded in, the mixture will hold together.)
3. To whip egg whites, start with room temperature eggs. I like to add a touch of lemon juice, salt, or cream of tartar to help the eggs get to the peaks. Once you begin to whisk them and they reach the soft peak stage, stop. If you continue to beat them, the proteins will break down and you will have a soft mess on your hands. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites to the mixture.
4. Using a spoon, mold the mixture into tablespoon-size balls and place 1 inch apart on prepared pan.
5. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until exterior is very slightly brown, the middle is still soft, and the bottoms are beginning to turn golden brown.
6. Remove from the oven. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes on a wire rack.
7. Serve at room temperature. These can be stored in an air-tight container for up to one week.

Oh man, I am so making these. I love macaroons, and these sound like the most amazing ones ever. And BTW - you're not the only one with leftover turkey! I ordered a 20+ lb one from a nearby organic farm, but due to excessive rains, it didn't gain as much, and was under 18 lbs. I was serving 16, and wanted leftovers, so I panicked and prepared another 12 lb turkey we had in the freezer for Thanksgiving as well. So even after turkey enchiladas, turkey congee, turkey salad and straight-up turkey leftovers, there's still some left. Sigh...

Beauty Home Salon in Sandton before I go into the points to help you choose your hairdresser, I should first outline the definition of what is a mobile hairdresser? A Mobile Hair Services is a hairdresser who usually works for his or herself visiting clients at their homes or place of work, or any other agreed venue and does not operate from a fixed hair salon or beauty shop.
Becoming a Hairdresser - The Advantages and Disadvantages
1.When to consider using a mobile hairdresser. The services of a mobile hairstylist may often be required to be used at a home for a wedding when it may often be inconvenient for the bride to travel to a hair or beauty salon to have her hair and her make-up done, requiring her then to travel back to her home to put on her wedding gown. Instead, the hairdresser will travel to the bride's home in order to style the bride's hair for her special day. A Mobile Beauty Salon Near Me hairstylist is often in demand for Care homes, hospitals, prisons, the armed forces, and in many other situations where individual attention is required.
Is Mobile Hairdressing Worth It?
4. Always Use a qualified hairdresser. As with Salon hairdressers, your mobile hairdresser should hold formal hairdressing qualifications. The UK national Vocational Qualification in Hairdressing (NVQ) is the only recognized qualification system, and more than 60% of mobile hairstylists are now trained to this standard. They should also hold professional indemnity insurance.
Your mobile hairdresser should be happy and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and often make-up to accentuate and compliment the individual looks of the customer, and offer suggestions on what hairstyle or make up should best suit the client.
Beauty Home Salon in Sandton ?
I recently received an email from a woman who said she had very long hair. For the past several months, her hair had been shedding much more than what was normal for her. She had read on some forums that sometimes the weight from long hair can pull the hair shaft out and can result in loss. So, she wanted to know if cutting her hair much shorter could potentially stop her shedding. I have a definite opinion on this based on my own experience and research. I will share it in the following article.
The Difference Between Traction Alopecia And Shedding Hair: There are cases where wearing your hair in a very tight braids or pony tails can results in the hair breaking off or pulling out. This is called traction alopecia and it's well documented. Usually, if you examine the hair, you'll see that some of it has broken off. You'll see short little jagged strands that indicate breakage.
Or, sometimes, the weight is so much that rather than breaking off, the hair will actually be pulled out. If you were to take one of these spent hairs and examined the tip, you'd likely see that on the end (at the bulb that comes from your follicle,) the dark colored sheath is still in place. If this is hard to envision, take one strand of your hair, grab it tightly, and pull. Then, examine the end. Since the strand was forcefully pulled out, the sheath that is supposed to protect it will still be in tact.
Now, if your loss is due to the weight of your hair, then yes, getting a cut could potentially help this situation. But, I find that this is the exception rather than the rule. And if this is the case, you can sometimes see a difference in what you're seeing on the end of the strand. In general though, usually this type of loss does not give rise to the high levels of loss that we see with shedding.
Trimming your hair can certainly help to improve it's appearance. A good cut can make you feel better and can give the illusion of more volume. So, it can definitely be worth going for a trim. But making drastic style changes isn't likely to stop some of the common causes of shedding like TE and AGA.
The Dreadlock Commandments: The Do's and Don'ts of the Locking Process
Hairdressing is one of the many trades that can be carried out in a clients home. Hairdressers only need a pair of scissors a small stock of products comb and other accessories to cut and style a persons hair. But is it worth it? below I discuss some of the pros and cons of mobile hairdressing and perhaps uncover some little known truths.
I hope this article maybe useful to someone who is thinking of starting up in mobile hairdressing and help them to assess which is the best route to take salon based or mobile.
So you have a car, have all your tools a client list and decide to go into the flexible working of being mobile. You can book clients in when you want as much of what will allow get up late arrive home early?
Firstly nowadays if you use a car for business you must have the correct insurance often this will incur a higher premium. There could be an argument that the car is just insured for "personal" use social and pleasure and that if you had an accident that you would just say you where visiting a relative? Insurance companies are more and more tightening there belts and looking for people outside of the scope of this they may ask to prove you where on holiday from work or proof of travel.
Do your research
This is the most important part before going into any new venture and its also the part that most people get wrong partly because of their desire to live the dream. Be hard on your plan scrutinize the competition how many the what why where and how. Also look at the possibility of future competition and threat of reducing your market.
Allot of people do not really Analise there costs, when I mean costs I mean true costs down to the penny, here's an example.
Outgoings cost of car payment, car tax, insurance,fuel, wear and tear, cost of equipment and stock, fair wear and tear to equipment, necessary taxes. Add all this up on a yearly then monthly and drill down to a daily basis this will give you an idea of where you need to start from.
Best of luck

As freethinkers, we should be aware that just because a woman can beat you in softball, doesn't make her any less "feminine".
I came across a thread this morning on the topic, and the things the men listed irked me to no end. Examples: tattoos, cursing, smoking, being able to be her own auto mechanic, short hair, being drunk, etc etc etc. Now, I don't know about the other ladies of the A|N, but I personally love having tattos, cursing (within "reason"), and being drunk (though I rarely drink).
But what is femininity?
Men and women, I want your thoughts!

ARM ATAP Program Expanded In Europe
Accent and Telecom Italia Lab join the ATAP program to further bring diversity to European design resources
CAMBRIDGE, UK – Nov. 4, 2002 - ARM, [(LSE:ARM) (Nasdaq:ARMHY)], the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor solutions, today announced that Accent and Telecom Italia Lab, have joined ATAP™, the ARM technology access program, bringing the total number of ATAP Partners to 36, and further strengthening design resources in Italy and the rest of Europe. The addition of these new Partners to the program increases the ATAP program engineering resource to more than 3,350 engineers.
Accent, a design center ranked sixth in Europe according to a report by Future Horizons, brings its unparalleled expertise in silicon implementation and effective design flows to the ARM ATAP program and its Foundry Program Partners.
"This step is a formalization of the existing relationship between Accent and ARM, and recognition of Accent as an ARM approved design center," said David Lewis, ATAP program manager, ARM. "Accent pioneered ARM core-based SoC and IP hardening design in the late 1990s. With its expertise and leadership in the development of ARM core-based SoCs, Accent will provide our Partners with extra design resources, enabling them to bring their products to market quickly."
Accent has a long history of ARM core-based SoC and AMBA® technology-based IP peripheral development. All projects were first-time working systems with different ARM cores. Accent has experience of the full spectrum of ARM deliverables to enable the company to take designs from concept through design to manufacture.
"Joining the ARM ATAP program is the right move to support our company strategy of growing by attracting high-value design services," said Massimo Vanzi, general manger, Accent. "Accent has successfully taped-out a large amount of complex ICs. As an ATAP Partner, Accent's potential customers, small and medium-size OEMs and fabless companies with a SUDL license, can now take advantage of our well established expertise in ARM core-based design for deep sub-micron technology and of our consolidated experience in working with foundries."
Telecom Italia Lab's System-on-Chip (SoC) Division, based in Turin, Italy, supports customers in designing advanced solution for wireline, wireless, networking systems, from system definition to hardware and embedded software implementation.
"In our Labs, we are working to design the next-generation telecom products that can enable innovative services for Telecom Italia," said Luigi Licciardi, vice president, Telecom Italia Labs. "3G systems as well as home gateway and security components require high flexibility, individually tuned to customer requirements. ARM's market penetration in the mobile terminals market, together with our telecom and IP expertise, will be the key factor for the success of our designs."
"Telecom Italia Labs brings to the ATAP Partnership, a valuable system level perspective and expertise in the modeling and implementation of mobile, home gateway and smart card products based on the ARM® architecture," said David Lewis, ATAP program manager, ARM. "Telecom Italia Labs are enabling the acceleration of product development and new services deployment, and their methodology is a perfect fit with the ARM total solution.
About the ATAP Program
There are currently 36 Partners in the ATAP program, with a resource of more than 3,350 engineers available to work on ARM core-based SoC designs. ATAP design Partners must go through a strict qualification process to become an ARM Approved Design Center. This includes a design flow audit, training on implementing designs with ARM cores, tools, AMBA® interface peripherals and development techniques. Each Design Center must demonstrate its own unique skills in specific technology domains, as well as end-market expertise. The ATAP program also provides additional benefits such as geographic and time-zone locality and local language support. For more information on the ATAP program, please email email@example.com or visit the ARM website.

Over 300 IT security professionals from banks, ISPs, telecommunication companies and government agencies participated in a pan-European cyberattack exercise on Thursday.
The exercise tested how the private and public sectors would react and cooperate in the event of a major DDoS (distributed denial of service) campaign against public-facing computer systems that provide financial services for millions of citizens and businesses across Europe.
A total of 25 countries actively participated in the exercise and four others acted as observers. The countries were either members of the European Union or the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) -- a trade association between Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
Called Cyber Europe 2012, the cyberattack exercise was the second event of this type in Europe and was significantly larger in scale, scope and complexity than the one that took place in 2010. It was also the first time private companies were invited to participate in such an event.
The cooperation between the private and public sector is essential given the growing sophistication and scale of cyberattacks, European Commission Vice-President Neelie Kroes said.
The exercise was organized by the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) with support from the European Commission, and simulated over 1,200 separate cyberincidents as part of an escalating DDoS attack campaign.
A self-contained system that simulated the characteristics and performance of actual critical IT infrastructure was used during the exercise, according to ENISA. The participants had to respond and take action at the national level, as well as engage in cross-border cooperation.
The simulation of a DDoS attack against the computer infrastructure of financial institutions seems timely given the recent DDoS attacks against the websites of some of the largest U.S. banks.
During the past two weeks, a series of DDoS attacks have caused intermittent outages on the websites of Wells Fargo, US Bancorp, PNC Financial Services Group, Citigroup, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, leaving many consumers unable to perform online banking operations.
According to security experts from DDoS mitigation vendor Prolexic, those attacks consumed up to 70Gbps of bandwidth, well beyond what the Internet uplinks commonly used by banks can handle.
"The recent attacks on U.S. banks just go to show the increasing sophistication of hackers, or cyber criminals, and that any site can be brought down -- even some of the most well protected organisations," Paul Lawrence, vice-president of international operations at network security vendor Corero Network Security, said Thursday via email. "This goes to show that DDoS attacks have gone from a minor annoyance carried out by bedroom hackers, to a serious security threat that ENISA feels needs to be addressed."
Speaking at the Conference on Cyberspace in Budapest on Thursday, European Commission Vice-President and High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton said that trust and confidence should be improved between the private and public sector on matters of cybersecurity.
"To address challenges posed by transnational cyberthreats, we also have to step up our efforts in increasing cyber security capacity globally," Ashton said. "To make sure we can do this, there is a need for new capacity building programs and also for better coordination of existing initiatives."

One feature of R that I had not made use of up until that point was the ability to call compiled C and Fortran functions from within R (this makes loop-heavy Metropolis-Hastings samplers much, much faster). It turns out that you can also include the R libraries in C source code so that R functions (e.g., random number generators) can be easily accessed. The R-Cran website has an excellent tutorial on how to develop R extensions (here), but I wanted to share an example Peter used in class because it is extremely brief, and for 95% of what I do, this is all I need.
As Peter writes, this is an incredibly inefficient way of simulating from the chisquare distribution, but it demonstrates the point. His more extensive writeup is located here.
Save the following as testfun.c:
#include <R.h>
#include <Rmath.h>
#include <math.h>
/* Function written by Peter Rossi from the University of Chicago GSB */
/*http://faculty.chicagogsb.edu/peter.rossi/teaching/37904/Adding%20Functions%20Written%20in%20C%20to%20R.pdf */
/* include standard C math library and R internal function declarations */
void mychisq(double *vec, double *chisq, int *nu)
/* void means return nothing */
int i,iter; /* declare local vars */
/* all statements end in; */
GetRNGstate(); /* set random number seed */
for (i=0 ; i < *nu; ++i)
/* loop over elements of vec */
/*nu "dereferences" the pointer */
{ /* vectors start at 0 location!*/
vec[i] = rnorm(0.0,1.0); /*use R function to draw normals */
Rprintf("%ith normal draw= %lf \n",(i+1),vec[i]);
/* print out results for "debugging" */
while(iter < *nu) /* "while" version of a loop */
if( iter == iter)
{*chisq=*chisq + vec[iter]*vec[iter];}
/* redundant if stmnt */
iter=iter+1; /* note: can't use ** */
/* if you want to be "cool" use iter += 1 */
PutRNGstate(); /* write back ran number seed */
To call this function in R, you first need to compile it. To do this you need all the standard compilers and libraries for your operating system. For Debian or Ubuntu, this should do it (if I missed a package, let me know in the comments):
$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude install build-essential r-base-dev
Now, you should be able to compile the function:
$ R CMD SHLIB testfun.c
If all goes well, you should see the files testfun.o and testfun.so in the directory. To test the function we will source the following R script into R:
##This function is just a wrapper for .C
vector=double(nu); chisq=1
##Load the compiled code (you may need to include
## the explicit file path if it is not local
## NOTE: for Windows machines, you will want to load testfun.dll"
##If you re-compile testfun.c, you must unload it
## and then re-load it:
## dyn.unload("testfun.so")
## dyn.load("testfun.so")
And get the following output:
> dyn.load("testfun.so")
> result<-call_mychisq(10) 1th normal draw= -1.031170 2th normal draw= -1.214103 3th normal draw= 0.002335 4th normal draw= 0.296146 5th normal draw= -0.908862 6th normal draw= -1.567820 7th normal draw= -0.079227 8th normal draw= -1.404414 9th normal draw= 0.616567 10th normal draw= -0.007855 > result

Policy on preventing discrimination because of pregnancy and breastfeeding
October 2014 - This policy sets out the OHRC's position on discrimination based on pregnancy and breastfeeding at the time of publication. It deals primarily with issues that fall within the jurisdiction of the Ontario Code, and which can form the subject matter of a human rights claim. At the same time, the policy interprets the protections of the Code in a broad and purposive way, consistent with the principle that the quasi-constitutional status of the Code requires that it be given a liberal interpretation that best ensures its anti-discriminatory goals are met.

Sandwich chain Subway has announced it is to create 6,000 jobs over the next three years.
The fast food franchise - famed for its foot-long submarine rolls - will open 600 new branches in the UK and Ireland by 2015, its president and co-founder Fred DeLuca said today.
Subway has expanded rapidly in the past seven years, increasing the number of stores in the UK by 500 per cent to 1,423. There are currently 99 in Ireland, with the latest period of expansion taking the combined number of outlets to more than 2,000.
"We are particularly proud of the fact that over the years the Subway brand has been able to provide entrepreneurs with business opportunities where they can open and operate their own small business and provide great food, exceptional customer service and job opportunities in their communities," said Mr DeLuca.
The company, which was was founded in 1965 and has branches in 98 countries, has also agreed to display calorie information on all its menu boards and will sign a pledge with the Government today.
Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said: "One in six meals are now eaten outside the home and for those meals we often have no idea how many calories we are eating.
"That's why it's great to see that Subway have signed up to this commitment as part of the Responsibility Deal, which will help customers know the calories in their favourite foods and think about the choices they're making."
There are now over 9,500 food outlets which have agreed to provide calorie labelling this year.

Small businesses often complain that a lack of budget restricts the opportunities to successfully market their businesses. Too often they confuse advertising with marketing and believe that placing an ad in the local newspaper will keep the customers coming in.
Below are five simple strategies that small businesses can implement TODAY. The cost to implement them is minimal if not free and they will do more to drive customers to your business than the majority of your current marketing activities. The list is by no means exhaustive, there are thousands of ideas out there but here are five to get you on your way.
1. Offer a guarantee
Guarantees often come in the form of money back guarantee. But by thinking laterally small businesses can provide guarantees that communicate their brand promise clearly and effectively. Guarantees also help to build trust, differentiate you from competitors and create a perception of a reduction in financial risk from the customer. Some examples include:
– Guarantee of product quality. "If your not completely satisfied with your haircut we will give you a full refund"
– Guarantee of service. "We will deliver your new bed tomorrow, guaranteed!"
– Guarantee of price. "We will beat any competitors advertised price by 10%"
– Guarantee of product range. "The largest range of lawnmowers in Sydney, guaranteed"
These are just some examples, the sky is really the limit but make sure your guarantee is strong and is consistent with your brand promise.
2. Create a simple special offer.
The best special offers are often the simplest. They can be as simple a offering a free item with every purchase or even a small gift for entering a store during a specific time. You can also cross promote with other retailers to drive customer traffic. Some ideas are:
If your targeting mothers aged 25-40 with your clothing store you could offer a free balloon (with your logo on it) to every child that comes into your store. It provides a positive experience for the mother and a useful point of distraction for the children so the mother can spend more time looking at (and buying) clothes. Offer a free coffee at a nearby coffee shop for every purchase over a certain value and provide products to the coffee shop for a reciprocal offer. Special offers don't have to be expensive to, just try to make them valuable to your target audience and time sensitive to try and create a sense of urgency.
3. Start a loyalty program
When we think of loyalty programs we think of the Qantas Frequent Flyer Program or Woolworths Everyday Rewards amongst many others. The concept is the same in terms of generating customer loyalty but for small business they can be really simple. As an example, any coffee shop that does not have a "Buy 10 coffee's and get one free" loyalty card available are losing revenue as we speak.
I've seen a coffee shop take this one step further and have a card file on the front counter where frequent coffee drinkers can leave their card. What a great idea! The card file ensures that their customers don't forget to bring the card and that the card owner always returns to purchase the coffees. This idea can be applied across most small businesses including hairdressers, corner stores amongst many others. The key is to give your customers a reason to keep coming back to you and not your competitor.
4. Capture an email list of your best customers
Many local small businesses such as clothing stores, restaurants and hairdressers have a list of loyal customers that keep coming back time and time again. In many cases, the only contact small businesses have with these customers is when they return to the shop or salon. All small businesses should aim to capture a list of their best customers on the basis that they will be offered exclusive discounts and offers as part of being on the list. Wineries are particularly good at this where they offer exclusive vintages to their best customers. The winery is often able to sell through the vintage directly to the mailing list and the customer gets an exclusive wine that isn't available at the local bottle shop. A win-win for both.
5. Host an exclusive event for loyal customers & friends
Loyal customers like your business already and by being loyal they are often the customers that generate positive conversations about your business. You need to make them feel special and give them an opportunity to introduce their friends to your business. Now that you've captured their email address, you can invite them and a friend to an exclusive event. Some thoughts are:
– An exclusive preview after trading hours of your stores new summer range of clothing with champagne, hors d'oeuvres and a 20% discount on all clothing. Exclusive only to those on your email list.
– You've just introduced a new type of manicure to the services you offer at your beauty salon. Invite your customers to an evening of free manicures and champagne to showcase the new service and say thanks for their continued loyalty.
Exclusive events are a great way to show your customers how much you value them and provide a great way to promote new offers within your business.
6. Under promise and over deliver
Yes it's an oldy but still a goody. And to illustrate my point I only offered you five marketing ideas in the beginning but given you six. Over delivering does not have to cost you anything. It can really be anything that exceeds the expectations of your customers and creates a positive impression about your business. Some examples are:
– Tradesman that provide additional service over and above what was quoted.
– A discount given to loyal customers outside of sale periods.
The opportunities are endless. The benefits of over delivering are that it gives your loyal customers a reason to talk about your business. It also gives them a reason to recommend you to others and can stimulate referrals that lead to new customer relationships.
These six simple strategies are easy to implement and hopefully they have stimulated your creative juices to come up with ideas for your business. Let me know what you've come up with by leaving a comment.
Good luck!

valve(redirected from ureteral valve)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical.
valve,device for controlling the flow of fluids (liquids and gases). Valves vary in construction and size depending upon their function. Some are classified according to their method of operation or design, e.g., butterfly, gate, globe, lift, needle, piston, and slide valves. Valves are also named for the functions they perform, e.g., check valve (which permits flow in one direction only) and cutoff, bypass, exhaust, intake, safety (see safety valvesafety valve,
device attached to a boiler or other vessel for automatically relieving the pressure of steam before it becomes great enough to cause bursting. The common spring-loaded type is held closed by a spring designed to open the valve when the internal pressure reaches a

device consisting of a sealed enclosure in which electrons flow between electrodes separated either by a vacuum (in a vacuum tube) or by an ionized gas at low pressure (in a gas tube).
..... Click the link for more information. may be referred to as a valve. In anatomy and physiology the term valve includes the flaps of tissue that help to control the direction of the flow of blood in the heart.
a part or device used to control the flow of a gas or fluid in machines and piping by altering the cross-sectional dimensions of the passage.
In internal combustion engines, pumps, compressors, and blowers, a valve is a part of the distribution mechanism or of the gas or fluid flow-control mechanism. As a variety of pipe fitting, a valve is used to control the flow of gas, vapor, or liquid.
Valves are made up of a housing, which is incorporated into the piping, and a gate, which moves within the housing and alters the dimensions of the bore (and, thereby, the transmissive capacity). Valves are used to develop a pressure differential (throttle valves), to prevent the reverse flow of a fluid (check valves), to release a certain amount of gas, vapor, or liquid when the pressure exceeds a set value (safety valves), to control pressure or flow rate (regulating valves), and to reduce pressure and keep it at a constant level (reducing valves). Valves are also used as stopper fittings to seal off piping, in engineering equipment, and in heat-and-power engineering facilities.
Depending on the design of the housing, valves are classed as pass, angled, three-way, and multipath. In terms of the nature of attachment to the piping, they may be flanged or coupled. The gate may be moved manually, electrically, pneumatically, or hydraulically.
A flow-control device. Valves are used to regulate the flow of fluids in piping systems and machinery. In machinery the flow phenomenon is frequently of a pulsating or intermittent character and the valve, with its associated gear, contributes a timing feature.
The valves commonly used in piping systems are gate valves (Fig. 1), usually operated closed or wide open and seldom used for throttling; globe valves, frequently fitted with a renewable disk and adaptable to throttling operations; check valves, for automatically limiting flow in a piping system to a single direction; and plug cocks, for operation in the open or closed position by turning the plug through 90° and with a shearing action to clear foreign matter from the seat. Safety and relief valves are automatic protective devices for the relief of excess pressure. See Safety valve
For hydraulic turbines and hydroelectric systems, valves and gates control water flow for (1) regulation of power output at sustained efficiency and with minimum wastage of water, and (2) safety under the inertial flow conditions of large masses of water.
To control the kinematics of the cycle, steam-engine valves range from simple D-slide and piston valves to multiported types. Many types of reversing gear have been perfected which use the same slide valve or piston valve for both forward and backward rotation of an engine, as in railroad and marine service. See Steam engine
Poppet valves are used almost exclusively in internal combustion reciprocating engines because of the demands for tightness with high operating pressures and temperatures (Fig. 2). Two-cycle engines utilize ports, alternately covered and uncovered by the main piston, for inlet or exhaust. See Cam mechanism, Internal combustion engine, Valve train
In compressors, valves are usually automatic, operating by pressure difference on the two sides of a movable, springloaded member and without any mechanical linkage to the moving parts of the compressor mechanism. Like those for compressors, pump valves are usually of the automatic type operating by pressure difference.

This section of our website is designed to highlight faculty talents and innovations, as well as to keep you informed of initiatives that impact teaching and learning.
December 2011
Resources Available for Checkout
Integrating technology into your classroom can motivate students. However, the use of technology should always be tied to the learning outcomes.
The following technology resources are available for check out through the CTE:
Personal Response Systems ("Clickers")
Personal Response Systems allow instructors to ask questions and students to receive instant feedback using "Clickers" and a portable receiver. To use the "Clickers," a short overview is available through John Thommen at firstname.lastname@example.com. "Clickers" can be reserved for 48 hours.*
Here is what an LCC faculty member said about the "Clickers:"
"I use clickers to help engage students in the learning process and make my regular PowerPoint's much more interactive. There are just so many possibilities with them. I can take polls during class to get student opinions, I can include a brief end of lecture quiz, or I can use them to help create review games where everyone can participate simultaneously! The students love them because they bring such a change of pace and make the lectures even more interactive. I like them because I get real-time feedback on how well students are grasping the material and which areas need to be reviewed." -Katie Hubbard, Physical Fitness and Wellness
Mimio Smart Board Recorders
These are a combination of hardware and software that allow instructors to capture whiteboard notes and/or turn the whiteboard into an interactive Smart Board. To learn more, contact Sue Halick at email@example.com. The Mimio Smart Board can be reserved for one week.*
Keyspans (Remote Air Mice)
A wireless remote mouse allows the instructor to move around the classroom while presenting information. Remote mice can be reserved for five days.*
Here is what an LCC faculty member said about the Keyspan:
"A presentation device like Keyspan is a very valuable tool in the classroom, where the seemingly effortless flow of a lecture and smooth transitions between activities aid my teaching and the students learning. The Keyspan allows me to get out from behind the lectern and the computer station and interact with the students during a presentation. This can make things more real and tangible, and I think students really appreciate that." -Keith Phillips, Communication, Media and the Arts
Digital Recorder
A voice recorder that allows you to record notes and lectures in high-quality stereo sound. The recorded audio files can then be easily transferred to a computer by plugging it directly into your PC. The recorder can be reserved for 48 hours.*

On July 1, California joined 7 other states by passing an assembly bill which bans the use of BPA in products for children under 3 years of age.
BPA is a chemical used in epoxy resin to line items like food cans, glass jar lids and baby bottles. Senator Diane Feinstein wants the chemical removed from these items and replaced with a safer alternative. Her legislation puts pressure on the chemical and food manufacturing industry. There are roughly 30 industry groups that will work to defeat it.
Problem is, there isn't Feinstein is fighting for the law to be implemented on a national level.
This comes a year after the Obama administration, reeling from a string of food recalls and food related illnesses, called for an overhaul of food safety regulations. Feinstein's attack comes on the heels of studies that suggest BPA has an ability to affect estrogen in females. At least one study suggested American girls are developing breasts before the age of 10. That's earlier than in previous generations. Some studies have also linked BPA to heart disease, neurological problems and low sperm counts.
But Dr. Steven Hentges, executive director of the polycarbonate/BPA group at the American Chemistry Council points out that BPA is one of the most studied chemical compounds in existence. The chemical industry claims that an average consumer would have to ingest more than 1,300 pounds of food and beverages in contact with polycarbonate every day for an entire lifetime to exceed the safe level of BPA set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In fact the FDA hasn't issued any warnings, holding fast to it's 2008 declaration that BPA is safe.
The Obama administration is serious about the food safety overhaul. With all the controversy over BPA, Feinstein's push could throw a wrench into things. Might we expect the appointment of a BPA Czar anytime soon?

'Show me your boobs' gets skating rink employee fired, arrested | News
CUMMING, Ga. -- A man who worked at a Forsyth County skating rink is facing two counts of child molestation after two girls report he told them "Show me your boobs."
The mothers of the girls at the center of the charges don't want to use their names or faces because they want to protect the identities of their daughters. They say that same motherly instinct has them speaking out in case others were affected.
"This was in a public facility meant for youth," one mom told 11Alive News.
The mothers, a police report, and confirmation from the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office detail what happened Saturday, Sept. 22.
The 10- and 11-year-old girls were dropped off at the Let's Roll Skating Rink in Cumming. Fifty-three-year-old Ricky Westbrooks was also there that night. He'd been working at Let's Roll Family Fun Center as a handyman since the beginning of the year. That night, he was working at the concessions stand.
The girls had lost their spending money and asked Westbrooks if they could buy glow sticks and have their mom pay when she picked them up. Instead, they say, he propositioned them.
"He told them, 'come back when everyone else is gone,'" one mother said. The girls waited until the line was gone, then went back up. He reportedly said, "I have two blue glow sticks. What are they worth to you?" then, "Show me your boobs."
The girls did what they were taught -- ran from him, told another adult, called their mom.
"She was extremely upset, to where she couldn't really tell me what was wrong," the mother of the 11 year old said.
When she arrived at the rink, the police hadn't yet been called. She said the manager on site put the girls and Westbrooks in a closed-door room, then told the girls they needed to again tell what happened, this time to his face. The girls were upset and frantic.
"They were very creeped out by it. They don't understand why a man in his 50's would be doing this," the mom said.
Westbrooks was later arrested and charged with two counts of child molestation. He remains in the Forsyth County jail.
Trey and Penny Butler, the owners of Let's Roll, sent us the following statement:
Due to the seriousness of the accusations brought against Mr. Westbrooks, we have terminated his employment with our company. We are in full cooperation with the Forsyth County Sheriff's department and have the utmost confidence that they will investigate this to the fullest. As business owners and parents ourselves, we are very concerned and hopeful that this will be resolved soon. Once the full investigation has been completed we will be able to comment more on the situation. Our main mission at our facility is to provide a safe family environment and we will continue to make every effort to do so in the future.
Westbrooks has denied he propositioned the girls that Saturday night. The Forsyth County Sheriff's office tells 11Alive News he was not a registered sex offender, and there have been no other reports against him or anyone at the skating rink. The girls' parents are worried other kids might NOT have reported it. It's one reason they wanted to share their story.
"If he's brazen enough to approach them and make this comment in public, what has he done before or what is he willing to do next?" one of the mothers worried.
The Forsyth County Sheriff's office says any information should be passed along to detectives in the Criminal Investigations Division at (770) 781-2200.

As reported in our July edition, Assistant Editor Jonathan Wurtele and myself will be stepping down from our positions with P&S following publication of the April, 2013, edition. As this edition was being prepared for publication, we learned that the search committee under the able direction of Barbara Levi has located a pair of most qualified successors: Andrew Zwicker of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) as Editor, and Laura Hopkins of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) as Assistant Editor. Andy is the Head of the Science Education Program at PPPL. He received a bachelor's degree in physics from Bard College and a Ph.D. in physics from Johns Hopkins University, where he developed spectroscopic diagnostics for fusion energy experiments. In 2008, he served as the Chair of the Forum on Physics and Society, and was Secretary/Treasurer of FPS from 2001-2006. Currently, he is a member of the APS Committee on Education, though his term ends in 2012. In 2006, the American Association of Physics Teachers included him in their list of 75 leading contributors to physics education. He and a collaborator won the 2006 Art of Science competition at Princeton University for a photograph entitled "Plasma Table," and he is now the Chair of the organizing committee for the competition. He is also a member of the Education and Workforce Development task group for the Department of Energy's "Energy Efficient Buildings Hub," and teaches a freshman writing seminar at Princeton University, "The Ethics of Human Experimentation." His current research interests are in dusty plasmas, plasma speakers, and plasma education. Laura Hopkins is currently a physicist at LLNL, where her research focuses on inertial confinement fusion. She received her Ph.D. in Plasma Physics from Princeton University in 2010, and in 2010-2011 held an American Physical Society Congressional Science Fellowship. As a Congressional Science Fellow, she served as a scientific advisor for U.S. Senator Kent Conrad and on the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs. During her graduate studies, Laura was a National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Stewardship Science Graduate Fellow at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. I am pleased to welcome Andy and Laura to the Newsletter, and to know that it will be passed on to good hands.
In this edition –
Under News of The Forum, we congratulate Jeremy Bernstein and Geoffrey West, respectively the winners of the Forum's 2013 Burton and Szilard Awards. We also recognize three new APS Fellows nominated through the Forum: Robert Bari, Mitra Dutta, and Arian Pregenzer. Awardees and new Fellows will formally be recognized at the FPS Awards Session to be held at the April APS meeting; descriptions of Forum-sponsored sessions scheduled for the March and April meetings appear below. Thanks are due the awards and Fellowship committees for their careful work.
With this edition of P&S, we welcome Richard Wiener of Research Corporation as the newest member of P&S's editorial board. Richard is replacing Barbara Levi, who rotated off the board in late 2012.
As a follow-up to the article on the President's Blue-Ribbon Commission on nuclear waste that ran in our July, 2012 edition, we reprint part of a recent AIP FYI bulletin on a bill introduced to the Senate aimed at addressing some of the Commission's findings.
At the Society of Physics Students (SPS) 2012 Quad rennial Physics Congress, which took place in Orlando, Florida, over November 8-10, 2012, FPS sponsored three awards for student poster papers: one first-place and two second-place awards for posters which included the societal impact of physics as part of their studies. The first place winner was Allen Scheie (Grove City College), and the second-place winners were Kofi Christie (Morehouse College) and Matthew Goszewski (Grove City College). We congratulate the winners, and reprint the abstracts from their posters.
We have a plethora of contributed material for this edition. A letter from longtime contributor Dave Hafemeister informs us that his equation-oriented book, Physics of Societal Issues: Calculations on National Security, Environment and Energy, is available at a very attractive price. Two of our feature articles for this edition cover some interesting ground in the area of nuclear physics. Alex DeVolpi writes on how available coolant-monitoring technology could have helped the operators of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant better manage the disaster that unfolded with their reactors following the tsunami of March, 2011, and could still be useful as they work to deal with the remains of those devices. Based on a talk given by Mike Larson at the 2012 APS April meeting in Atlanta, an article prepared by myself describes the history and activities of the Nuclear Emergency Support (formerly Search) Team – NEST. Readers can be assured that NEST stands very ready to respond to any potential nuclear threat. Our third feature article, by Rees Kassen of the University of Ottawa, offers some observations on efforts to bring science and engineering advice to the Parliament of Canada in a non-partisan way. Dr. Kassen's article serves as a reminder that there are many ways to be involved in such activities. On this side of the border, Forum members should consider the AAAS and APS Executive and Congressional Fellowships.
Our book review for this edition, by Michael DuVernois, examines the German experience with supporting solar energy development.

(PigIron servlet)->(gui web app).execute()
PigIron now has a data servlet layer. It still needs the presentation layer.
When I started PigIron in August, I figured that by the end of the year it would be up to the data servlet level. As it is, PigLet, the PigIron servlet is running as of last night.Just HTTP PUT a JSON string to PigLet and PigIron executes the desired VSMAPI function from your JSON description.
Now I have to decide how to GUI it. I suppose it's using javascript at some level because it's JSON. The JSON interface wasn't created in conformance to complete model. The only model was the idea that there were one or two data interchange formats that web application writers are using in lively presentation metaphors.
JSON is easy, so PigIron has a JSON layer.
So the question is, what's the easiest way to create the presentation layer? Choices abound, starting with this crude list:
- hand-written html and javascript
- perl cgi
- ruby cgi
- java
The web app is intended to facilitate the composition and execution of complex z/VM provisioning operations built from individual VSMAPI transactions.
I'm one programmer. Reader, what do I choose?
