Yes, we usually talk about preparing for winter, but warmer weather also brings some concerns. You might have visitors staying with you while on their summer vacation. This means more demand from your water heater due to extra people showering, more washing machine usage and dishes.
If you have not have a water heater inspection for a while, this might be a good time to schedule one. You may be thinking about buying a larger water heater or even a tankless water heater. A knowledgeable plumber can assess your situation and advise you on how large of a tank you will need.
With additional guests staying in your home there will be more toilet usage. Make sure there are no leaks from the toilet. (Tip: empty bathroom trash cans often to discourage debris from being put in the toilet)
It's also time to drag out the garden hoses and attach them to the hose bibs (spigots or faucets) for garden and lawn watering. You do not want an unpleasant surprise of leaky hose bib pipes. If your home was sufficiently insulated during the winter, or pipes protected in some fashion, then you probably have nothing to fear. But older homes, especially, could have a problem. It may be a smart to have a plumber check things out.
Check your water and sewer lines for any cracks or bulges. Have your septic system inspected; are you ready to have it pumped? These issues could manifest the problem at the worst time: when you have a houseful of visitors.
Check your sprinklers. Are they aimed properly so there is no over-spray? Look for lawn bulging when sprinklers are on; there could be a leak somewhere in the system. Check and clean sprinkler heads at least once a year. Also, make sure your timer is set to regulation times and duration.
Another plumbing job that people think of doing when the weather warms up is: installing a gas line for an outdoor barbecue or fire pit. You should plan this with a licensed plumber.

Many companies find it hard to strike a balance between physical documents and the goal of going completely paperless. While physical and digital files have their own pros and cons, one of the biggest worries for companies is how to bridge the gap.
By using scanning solutions, your company can save cash and time while bridging the gap between paper and digital documents. However, most companies just use scanning as a rare supplement to business workflow, when document scanning can actually help solve business problems completely. Here are four easy ways scanning can solve your business problems.
Simplify records management. When digital files are stored in a central place, it makes records management a breeze. You won't have to waste time searching for files anymore. You'll be able to find any document with a few clicks and rest assured that everything is safe and secure.
Prepare for a disaster. What would happen if your building caught fire, or if a hurricane flooded your storage facility? Are you confident your paper documents would survive? Paper is extremely vulnerable to natural disasters and theft, but digital documents can be backed up and protected with safeguards like passwords and user authentications.
Stop losing documents. Stop wasting time running around your office trying to track down a years-old file, or having to recreate it when you throw in the towel. By scanning your documents into digital files with easy-to-use indexing features, you ensure that you'll always find the documents you're looking for in a matter of seconds.
Get your office space back. Imagine if you could get rid of all those filing cabinets or repurpose the storage room to include more workstations. Document scanning allows you to maximize usable office space. By converting paper documents to digital ones, you can make your workspace feel bigger and more organized. This will ultimately help with workflow and departmental organization.
For more information on the benefits of scanning and electronic document solutions, contact us today.

Tu Hai Ke Nahi: Lyrics Translation | Roy
Movie: Roy
Music: Ankit Tiwari
Lyrics: Sandeep Nath
Singer: Ankit Tiwari
Okay this is a bit of cheating. I heard a couple of lines and loved them and I thought I should share it and so here it goes.
Mujh se hi aaj mujhko mila de,
dekhoon aadaton mein tu hai ke nahi
Har saans se poochh ke bataa de
Inke faaslon mein tu hai ki nahi
main aas paas tere aur mere paas..
tu hai ke nahi..
tu hai ki nahi...
One that can make me meet myself
come, let me see if you're in my habits or not,
Ask every breath and tell me
Whether you are there in their differences or not..
I am close to you and close to me
Whether you are or not..
Whether you are there or not...
Daudte hain khwaab jin pe raasta wo tu lage
Neend se jo aankh ka hai waasta wo tu lage
Tu badalta waqt koi khushnumaa saa pal mera
Tu wo lamha jo na thehre aane waala kal mera
You seem to be the path on which my dreams run,
you seem to be the relationship that is there between sleep and the eyes
You're the changing time some happy moment of mine
You're the moment that does not stop, my tomorrow..
Main aas-paas tere aur mere paas..
Tu hai ke nahi
Tu hai ki nahi...
In labon pe jo hansi hai inki tu hi hai wajah
Bin tere main kuch nahi hoon mera hona bewajah
Dhoop teri na pade to dhundhla sa main lagoon
Aake saansein de mujhe tu taaki zinda Main rahoon
The smile that is there on my lips, you're the reason for it
I'm nothing without you, my existence is useless
If your sunshine doesn't fall on me, I seem to be dull
Come, give me breaths, so that I remain alive..
Main aas-paas tere aur mere paas...
Tu hai ki nahi

I had been using an XBox 360 for streaming media content to our hdtv, but the file type limitations have been a real bother, so this is the reason I choose KDLinks media player. The way I use my KDLinks is to run my hard drive off of it to watch movies and shows and I have to say I'm very impressed with the KDLINKS. It's played every format i've tried, including MP4, MKV, AVI, TSO, M2TS.
However, the problem I ran into is that I don't know the way playing my Blu-ray movie direcly on my WDTV steaming from KDLinks media player. As I already know KDLinks media player supports BDMV and M2TS fils, I was trying to copy a Blu-ray disc to m2ts file or BDMV folder at first.
For copying your Blu-ray discs for enjoying with KDLinks media player, you need to remove the Blu-ray copy protection first. I just recently purchased Pavtube BDMagic to replace my method of using MakeMKV/Handbrake to rip my Blu-ray/DVD movies since Pavtube was advertised as being quicker. Now with this tool, I can easily backup 1:1 copying BD/DVD Disc content to local computer or directly copy only BD/DVD main movie and leave out extras. Really simple interface and powerful function. Needless to say I was excited to see this product under the tree!
The mac version is Pavtube BDMagic for Mac.
Now download the program and follow the steps below to backup Blu-ray movie to KDLinks media player for watching.
How to Rip, Convert and Backup Blu-ray movie for KDLinks media player Effortlessly
Step 1: Load Blu-ray movies into the program
Once you run the top Blu-ray Ripper, click BD disc button to load Blu-ray movie up into the Blu ray ripping program.
Note: A BD drive is needed for Blu-ray ripping & copying
Step 2. Set format
Decide Blu-ray Copy Mode (Option 1)
A. Full Disc Copy Mode: Copy Blu-ray Disc to a full BDMV folder containing all the content in original BD.
B. Directly Copy Mode: Backup Blu-ray Disc to a file with M2TS as filename extension. This mode enables copy movie only from Blu-ray discs, compared with former mode, save time in copying Blu-ray Disc and space to store the output M2TS file to make reasonable and practical use.
Choose an output video format (Option 2)
If you wanna rip Blu-ray to your needed file types, you need specify a format as output format. Click on the dropdown menu of "Format", and then choose your needed one from the multiple output format presets. You can rip Blu-ray to MKV, MP4, MOV, WMV, or rip Blu-ray for playback on KDLinks media player or other portable devices.
Tip: Click "Settings" button, then you are able to adjust all the settings in the following window to customize the output file quality, including codec, size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate and audio channel.

Ice cream cakes are cakes composed either of hard serve ice cream or a combination of cake and ice cream. The overall appearance of any ice cream cake is similar to that of a layer cake or a sheet cake. Cakes of this type can be prepared for many different situations, with use as a birthday cake being one of the most popular applications.
The exact origin of the ice cream cake is unknown. However, there are indications that cakes of this type were prepared as early as the latter part of the 19th century. At the time, ice cream was considered a luxury item that was often enjoyed only by the wealthy. It would not be until well into the 20th century when the mass production of ice cream became common that the idea of an ice cream cake came into vogue.
A number of ice cream parlors and stores offer versions of the cake. Baskin Robbins offers cakes made with any combination of their various types of ice cream. The fast food chain Dairy Queen also offers cakes that can be customized for just about any occasion, from a birthday celebration to an office party. Generally, the cakes are made available are prepared as two round layers and covered with a soft serve ice cream icing, although it is also possible to order sheet cakes of this type.
In most versions of the cake, hard ice cream is used to create the layers of the cake. These layers can be used to create the entire body of the cake, or placed between layers of traditional cake that has been cooled sufficiently to not melt the ice cream. To cover the exterior of the ice cream cake, soft serve ice cream serves as the icing. Additional decorations can be made from traditional cake icing or formed using various types of soft serve ice cream.
While it is possible to order an ice cream cake from a local ice cream parlor or store, people sometimes prefer to create their own unique cakes at home. The simplest homemade variety is created using a sheet cake pan. The bottom layer of the cake is composed of ice cream, following by a thin layer of yellow cake. A second layer of ice cream is placed over the yellow cake, with the soft serve icing placed on the top. To add a bit of visual interest to the homemade cake, crumbled cookies, chocolate shavings, nuts, or even cut sections of fruit may be added as toppings.

The ice cream cake is one of those things I'm glad that was invented. They are so good! I am a big fan of the ice cream cake thing, and they can be made at home, if you have enough freezer space to accommodate separate components until they are assembled.
I have made them, and the biggest issue is how to frost them. I'm not sure what they do in the ice cream store, but I haven't figured it out yet. I need to look up a recipe online. I'm sure there is one -- you can find recipes for everything else.
Post 1
I remember for my ninth birthday, I got an ice cream cake from Baskin-Robbins. It was one of the chocolate logs that had hot fudge on the outside and chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream on the inside. It's still one of the best cakes I've ever eaten. It was perfect. It also had cherries on top as decorations. I didn't have a party, so it was just the family eating it, so the log was plenty. I think they're supposed to serve 8 or 10 people. So that worked out to about two slices apiece, and one extra for the birthday girl.

text: This course is an introduction to ethical theory. We will consider the leading theoretical approaches to ethics, including consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics, as well as criticisms of moral theories and of morality itself. Topics treated include the objectivity of morality and its place in the natural world, moral dispute and disagreement, and how moral knowledge is possible. We will also consider theories of well-being (what makes one's life go better or worse?) and obligation (what treatment do you owe to others?). While this is not a course in practical ethics, certain topical issues will be considered as illustrations and problems for various ethical theories.

It can be really hard promoting your book, especially if it's a one off. I've heard more than once the saying: "The best way to market your book is the write a second book" and I have to agree.
Writing and publishing a second book (or even better: a series) is the sure fire way to expand visibility for your brand of books.
With tens or hundreds of thousands of self-pubbed titles published every day as writers we have to get creative and importantly keep writing and producing titles. The more entry points to your titles the better, which brings me to the freemium or permafree model as it's better known in book publishing circles.
If you've been ebook publishing for any period of time you'll know that the Amazon Kindle Select programme isn't half as effective as it used to be. For those who don't know this is where offer Amazon exclusivity and you can promote your book free on Amazon for 5 days out of every 90. Getting a lot of downloads would increase your visibility on Amazon and push your sales rank up. But those days are gone, unless you can get tens of thousands of free downloads but even then I've heard this be now completely ineffective.
The strategy I'm adapting is to be available on as many ebook/book platforms as possible. You can get great coverage with Smashwords but as mentioned in my last post Speedy Publishing can get huge coverage including the big ones (Amazon, Kobo, Nook and Apple).
Once distributed you can sit back and wait for the money to roll in right? Wrong! Unless you already have an eager audience or the rub of the green you still have to build your author brand on the web, build a relationship with your audience, get an email list going (and make sure you offer a nice carrot) as well as a myriad of other traditional book marketing strategies. Pretty daunting.
However you can offer bite sized preview of your book, a short story or the first book in your series for free (permanently) then you may find a steady stream of customers providing they dig what you've produced. It gives them a chance to sample your work and if you've done a good job, hook them into your world. This isn't about taking anyone for a ride – you've providing value in your work and readers get the benefit.
I have done this with a pen name series and am just finishing up a short story to help get eyes on what will be a thriller series.
The next step is to make this permafree.
Upload to Kindle Direct and price as low as you can (0.99c) then publish either through Smashwords or your usual methods and make it free. Once it is available on other platforms at the $0.00 price you can then prompt Amazon to pricematch down to zero via a request link on your book product page, or just let their spiders find your book free naturally (although this might take a while).
Obviously you'll want to list your other titles with links in the back of this permafree book. (So Amazon links to the titles on the Amazon store etc) You can only do this if you directly publish to the platforms of course. The rest will have to be a generic 'Search where you purchased this'. Let me know if you have any better solutions, I'd be interested to know.
Catch you next time..

On Thursday February 9, 2017 the Christian Metal Community lost one of its most valuable players. Dale Huffman owner of Metal Pulse Radio succumbed to the cancer he had bravely been fighting the past couple of years. Dale was a family man, a great father, grandfather and husband to his wonderful family, as well as a great friend and supporter of many in the Christian Metal Community. Those friends and supporters truly showed their love of Dale when called upon for a very special tribute to him.
Roxx Records and Rottweiler Records are proud to present Metal Pulse: A Tribute to Dale Huffman. This special tribute project came together very easily when Bill and Scott from Roxx put out a quick call to all those that knew and loved Dale. We had an overwhelming response and we quickly had well over 50 artists and labels wanting to contribute tracks to this effort. When we quickly realized we could not fit this all on one CD Rottweiler Records owner Shawn Browning quickly stepped in to provide support and we now are ready to present you with one of the LARGEST Christian Metal compilations in history, a true tribute and testimony to the great man Dale was.
A HUGE thank you to all of the artists who so effortlessly contributed to this project. We have a total of 63 tracks on this finished compilation and it will be made available on March 3, 2017. Even better then that all of the proceeds from this special compilation are going directly to the Huffman Family. So for $10 you get every single song on this compilation, and you will help in contributing some extra support for whatever the family may need during this trying time.

Difference between Azithromycin and Erythromycin
Azithromycin vs Erythromycin:
Because of the various maladies that plague the human kind, many medicines and antidotes have been discovered thanks to the development of the medical sciences. Azithromycin and erythromycin are two antibiotics which fall in to this category, which are also closely related to one another. Yet, it must be said that they serve completely different purposes. Azithromycin and erythromycin are both macrolides and are both mostly used as cures for treating infections in soft tissues, upper and lower respiratory tract and uro genital infections. However, in order to discover the ways in which these two drugs can be used, it is imperative to know the ways in which they differ from one another.
About Azithromycin
Named as one of the best selling antibiotics in the world, Azithromycin is an azalide which is a class of antibiotics that contains a nitrogen atom in the macrolide ring. Azithromycin is used commonly as treatment for middle ear infections, strep throat, pneumonia, typhoid, and sinusitis and is also prescribed for preventing bacterial infections in infants. Azithromycin is also widely prescribed for people with weak immune systems and it is a drug that is also deemed as effective against certain sexually transmitted diseases such as nongonococcal urethritis, chlamydia, and cervicitis. However, azithromycin is also known to cause certain side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting because of which many people stop taking the drug after a while.
About Erythromycin
Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic whose activity is based on a macrolide ring and is often prescribed as an alternative for penicillin for those of who have penicillin allergies. First marketed by Eli Lilly and Company, erythromycin is widely prescribed for infections of the upper respiratory system and is often administered in the form of tablets or as oral suspensions. Side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting are seen commonly on par with this drug as well as more serious side effects such as arrhythmia with prolonged QTc intervals as well as Torsades-de-Pointe and reversible deafness. Erythromycin is not recommended for pregnant women as it had been associated with reversible hepatotoxicity during pregnancy.
What is the difference between Erythromycin and Azithromycin?
Both erythromycin and azithromycin fall under the category of macrolide antibiotics due to the fact that the activities of both the drugs are centered on a macrolide ring, to which one or more deoxy sugars are attached. Azithromycin is actually derived from erythromycin which owes largely to the myriad of similarities that exist between the two. However, erythromycin is also used an alternative medicine for those of who manifest allergic reactions to penicillin while azithromycin is not used as an alternative for penicillin. The above fact is just one example of what great differences exist in the ways that the two drugs are prescribed.
Erythromycin is prescribed mainly for upper respiratory infections whereas azithromycin covers a larger scope of infections including sexually transmitted diseases such as as nongonococcal urethritis, chlamydia and cervicitis. Also, while azithromycin is popularly prescribed for infants and also for treating people who have weak immune systems, erythromycin is not recommended for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers as it had been found to cause an increased probability of pyloric stenosis in young infants.
Azithromycin is released in the tissue whereas erythromycin is metabolized in the liver. It is usually eliminated in the bile while some of it is dispersed in urine. Both drugs, however, is known to interfere with birth control regiments. However, the way in which erythromycin operates within the body still remains a mystery, despite the knowledge that it may be performing some sort of bacterial action inside the body. On the other hand, azithromycin functions by obstructing the protein synthesis of bacteria, thereby putting a stop to its growth.
Both antibiotics are known to have severe side effects related to gastrointestinal conditions such as diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain and vomiting and they are not much preferred to be used as first line drugs by doctors. However, both remain to be very popular drugs despite the minor problems that occur such as allergies and other temporary issues.

Muscat Daily: Oman's largest selling daily newspaper
Launched on October 10, 2009, Muscat Daily is today the largest selling newspaper in the Sultanate of Oman. Muscatdaily.com is the online version of the 28-page daily broadsheet that is published by Oman's top publishing house, Apex Press and Publishing, and is meant for those who want to follow the latest news about Oman online.
Muscat Daily changed the newspaper industry in a country where the existing papers did not cover political or crime news as well as sensitive regional news. Our belief in the importance of local news has paid off as we rocketed from the fourth English daily newspaper in the country at the time of launch to the No. 1 position in less than a year – possibly a world first for any market.
The paper has won accolades for its bold and unbiased coverage of various issues including the Oman Protests of 2011 - being the only newspaper to cover the protests from its beginning - and its political and economic fallout.
Muscat Daily is also the only Omani newspaper that is quoted by top international media like the Christian Science Monitor, The Economist, El Pais, Radio Netherlands etc when referring to events happening in the Sultanate of Oman.
Copies of Muscat Daily are distributed across all the major cities and towns in Oman including Muscat, Sohar, Barkha, Sur, Salalah and Nizwa. We have the largest distribution network on the ground in Oman and more readers than any other English language daily newspaper in the country. At present, we have 115,300 readers with a print run of 33,500.

This is a topic I am not very comfortable talking about. Especially when I get asked 'how to get weight loss surgery for free,' rather than being asked, 'should I get weight loss surgery.' This option is simply over used in my opinion. Having gone to weight loss surgery discussion groups, meetings, and events, I know quite a few people who have had the surgery. The astonishing part is the disparity between those who get the surgery. Ranging from young adults (Late teens) and Elderly (Over sixty – not exactly elderly). The sad truth is, this option is considered by people who really do have other options. But, Can you really get weight loss surgery for free?
Before we dig into the question I was asked, 'can you really get weight loss surgery for free,' we first need to address the reality of weight loss surgery, and the fiances behind this procedure. This option is the last resort and should only be taken if it is medically necessary. This is not just an attack on people who have had this type of procedure as we also need to discuss some of the common misconceptions relating to the last resort option.
The Reality of Weight Loss Surgery
Okay, I am jumping ahead. This type of procedure is not what it is made out to be. In fact, most people assume it is the easy way out. It is far from the easy way out, but it is the panic button option. In order to qualify for any type of bariatric procedure you must first pass a psychological examination which tests your mental health and food dependency as well as lose a significant amount of weight before you get to the operating table.
Within one fiscal year you are required to lose enough weight to qualify for the procedure until your psychological examination expires. You must lose enough weight before the surgery to qualify due to higher risk of the procedure while on the operating table, and also fear of relapsing. You are also required to learn enough about nutrition to make sound choices pre and post operation. Your entire life is at least put on hold to tackle your weight, and frankly, most people fail.
The Personal Look
This is anecdotal, but most people I met failed the psychological examination several times. Once you go through the surgery (No matter which specific procedure) you are then are forced to have an entirely new diet. Either your stomach is permanently limited or you have a band severely restricting food intake. The lifetime of fighting appetite and hunger now leaves you unable to fill your appetite with food. Most people in this predicament are tackling issues which got them to the point in the first place.
Not only does a person having this surgery now have to lose all the weight, they must battle their demons which brought them to that point. The health risks also continue. There are huge vitamin deficiency risks when going under the knife for this procedure, ranging from Vitamin B 12 deficiencies to risk of the band breaking. The various Vitamin deficiencies can lead to death, and more commonly Anemia.
It is Harder than a Diet
A person taking this option is essentially risking life or death to lose weight. If they even survive the procedure, which until recently was far from guaranteed. After the initial hurdles or weight loss, psychological exams, and surgery, the reality of a new life sets in. No longer being able to eat the same food or you will vomit is not exactly pleasant. This is what you are warned about pre surgery, that everyone who has weight loss surgery will over eat and violently vomit.
Sprinkle in the lifetime of over priced vitamins after the procedure. A dash of of liquid diet after surgery. Top it all off with extreme pain the following days after having your stomach pulled from your skin internally during the procedure, you are left with a horrible experience.
This section is my warning to people who want to get this procedure. It is not the easy way out. You will be required to lose weight still on your own. Most likely you will not qualify for the procedure. To everyone who calls this the easy way out, this is more painful than most things the rest of us in the western world have gone through, and it is a drastic life change nearly over night. Not exactly a cake walk. Pun intended.
Can you get Weight Loss Surgery for Free?
Yes, and no. The truth is someone will always be paying for it. For most people, they have insurance to cover the large part or all of the surgery. Politics aside, this was extended under the Affordable Care Act. The fiscal reality is the one time, very expensive procedure is less expensive than treatment and medication patients must be on to qualify for the procedure in the first place.
But free weight loss surgery is a myth. Just like no health care is free. Someone will pay for it. This gives us two real options. One, is financing weight loss surgery. Two, is getting someone else to pay for your weight loss surgery. Neither option is easy. The easiest way to have the procedure is with insurance and to pay the co – pays. The question really should not be how to get weight loss surgery for free, but should be how can you afford what residual costs. I digress, let's tackle the question at hand.
How to get free Weight Loss Surgery?
Free for you means someone else foots the bill. The real option on the table for this is to have a charity pay for the procedure or a grant to cover the expense. It just so happens some of those in the US Government agreed with the financial reality that people on medication their entire mortal lives is more expensive than surgery. Many states are required to cover this procedure under the Affordable Care Act. With some simple forms and screening, residents in states like Arizona, Michigan and Hawaii. Yes, a huge spectrum of states with different make ups and demographics.
If you can not afford the surgery, most likely you qualify for government assistance in the US to cover the expense. If your state is not covered, every other state in the US is required to provide consoling and obesity screening. This means even if you can't get covered due to financial hardship, you can get help in the form of education and consoling to help combat your weight.
More than One Option on the Table
You then have organizations such as WLSFA, or the Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America, who helps fund various weight loss surgeries for people who meet specific conditions. These biggest conditions are being either denied by insurance or not having insurance and raising 10% of the funds yourself to cover the procedure. This is still a massive help for people in a challenging financial position. The WLSFA also covers weight loss constructive surgery if required. The stipulation is you must be pre approved for the procedure you are requesting the grant for.
There is also the option of care at a free or funded facility. Most research facilities whom test new procedures offer free or greatly reduced procedures. This is a great option for people as, aside from traveling, would be greatly subsidized. Additionally, the procedure would be preformed by experts using cutting edge science. The down side is this option has the longest weight list and most difficult process to get approved.
The last major free resource for weight loss surgery funding is local charities. You would be amazed the amount of money flowing into organizations which promote weight loss for people struggling with there weight. These options are normally addressed with patients on a case by case basis. If your doctor knows you need the assistance, they will point you in the right direction.
Is Financing Weight Loss Surgery an Option?
Absolutely. The best option is a payment plan through the surgeon directly. In fact, every hospital with a program I know of and have researched offer free seminars detailing the procedure, requirements and financing options. It is assumed you will need some help. Even if you have insurance, the co – pays are expensive and the medical community knows this.
Medical procedures also qualify for personal loans, and credit card or unsecured loans. Albeit, those are not the best options for financing weight loss surgery. It is important to note the fact weight loss surgery is deductible from your taxes in the US. If that fails, you can also opt for medical tourism. No, that is not a joke. Several counties offer less expensive options, and have there own free options available in research facilities. Since the US has the highest rate of obesity, it is far quicker to get into a medical facility in another country, while also being cheaper.
Final Thought on Weight Loss Surgery
It is your life. You only live it once. If you get to the point where you can be approved for weight loss surgery, maybe you should take it. Be warned, it is far from easy. Either way, you will be losing the weight yourself. No one will remove the fat for you. As a person getting the surgery you must tackle the reality of what got you to that point. You must overcome the psychological obstacles.
If you just really like food and have a huge appetite, the surgery will not stop this. You will eat until your new stomach is full and you will get sick. This is far from pleasant. Your diet will change as you must eat food high in protein to even survive after the procedure. Expect expensive vitamins as well as a liquid diet following the procedure. You also are required to have some reeducation classes to instill sound nutrition advice into you. Advice you can get here, for free. Yes, shameless plug. Read this website before going under the knife.
Can you really get weight loss surgery for free? There is no such thing as free anything. Weight loss surgery costs thousands upon thousands of dollars. You take off of work. You must buy new food and vitamins after the surgery. The procedure will also cost your time – and a lot of it with the required doctor visits and nutrition education. If you still can not get the money together after exploring these options, it normally means you do not really need the procedure. Funding options are available if you fully qualify for the surgery. If you do not, you should not even be considering this option.

(Des Moines, IA) – The Polk County Health Department, Polk County Community, Youth and Family Services and the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS) will host a SNAP in a Day (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) Enrollment Fair on Saturday, April 18, 2015, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Polk County River Place (2309 Euclid Ave. Des Moines).
"Over 50,000 people in our community are food insecure," said Rick Kozin, Polk County Health Department Director. "That means they don't have enough money, or food, to get through the month."
SNAP benefits are provided on an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card, which may be used at various locations including grocery stores and Farmers' Markets to purchase food items. Benefits depend on income, household size and expenses. People eligible for Food Assistance must be residents of Iowa who are U.S. citizens or legally qualified non-citizens such as refugees. The program is federally funded and administered by Iowa DHS, and about 195,000 Iowa families receive benefits each month.
"Only about 75 percent of the families in our community who are eligible for SNAP benefits are currently participating in the program," said Brian Boyer, Polk County Community, Family and Youth Services Director. "This event is designed to encourage families in need to participate and help keep their family members healthy."
To participate in the event, individuals will need to bring an identification card, pay stubs for individuals in the household who work and any child support orders. Interpreters will be available. Individuals who need transportation are asked to call Linda at (515) 286-3406 and will be placed on the transportation list.
"We are excited to partner with Polk County to give families a weekend opportunity to get assistance with enrolling in the program," said Sone Xaykose, Income Maintenance Administrator with DHS. "SNAP benefits can help Iowans provide the food their family needs to lead healthy, stable lives."
For additional information regarding the SNAP Enrollment Fair, please visit our web site at www.polkcountyiowa.gov/health. For more information on the SNAP program and to apply online, visit http://dhs.iowa.gov/food-assistance

Southeast Michigan: The Future of Automation Starts Here
At the heart of the automated and connected vehicle revolution, Southeast Michigan is poised to be a leader in the advancement of vehicle automation and the Internet of Things (IoT). As greater Detroit continues to attract more talent and businesses, the region has evolved into a diverse and exciting place to live and work. Widely recognized companies such as Microsoft, Google, Quicken Loans, GM, Ford, Fiat Chrysler, and many others have a presence in Southeast Michigan, and all share the struggle of having more IT related positions open than they can fill.
Throughout the Southeast Michigan region IT employers are facing an increasingly challenging recruiting environment, as demand for talent vastly outweighs the supply of workers. According to an analysis from WIN, there were nearly 65,000 IT-related online job postings in 2016, which is nearly twenty times the number of IT degree completions (3,671 degrees earned from Southeast Michigan higher education institutions). The IT talent pipeline, as currently constituted, is simply not robust enough to handle such high demand.
To address this challenge, WIN has partnered with Apprenti to bring the nationally-recognized, DOL-approved, registered IT apprenticeship program to Southeast Michigan. Apprenti's presence in Southeast Michigan will help to augment the existing talent pool using its nationally recognized "turn-key" framework to help provide a reliable pipeline for underrepresented groups to gain training, certification, and placement within the tech industry.
WIN is leveraging the partnership with Apprenti to help get employers the talent they need to thrive while changing the mindset that a degree is necessary to begin a career in the tech industry.
The Workforce Intelligence Network for Southeast Michigan (WIN) is a partnership of ten community colleges and six Michigan Works! Agencies (MWA) in Southeast Michigan. WIN's mission is to cultivate an efficacious and cohesive talent system by facilitating data-driven workforce solutions to ensure responsiveness to labor market demands.
The WIN team is comprised of individuals with expertise in labor market data, industry sectors, strategic career pathways, career awareness and readiness, communications, collaboration, facilitation, project management, government, real estate, and resource development. Several WIN personnel have worked as a professional consultant at the local, state and national level, while others have worked directly with a community college or in workforce development.
Together, WIN's experience in data-driven solutions, partner engagement and collaboration, and expertise in consulting, ensure that talent partners and their supporters have the tools needed to support Michigan's growing economy.
According to a recent labor market study of Southeast Michigan by WIN, software developers are the most in-demand occupation across the region with over 5,700 job postings in just the third quarter of 2017. WIN is in the process of identifying hiring partners and will be recruiting apprentice candidates later this year.

Four Days Post Release
I said I'd take time off from working on the game. I didn't.
As found on the main webpage, I threw together a basic Roll20 character sheet. The programmer in me wants to hide because of its sloppy coding, but it's functional, so I'll worry about cleaning it up over the next few weeks.
I've already received an influx of feedback from several sources. I'm incredibly humbled by some of the people who read the book and immediately sent back some thoughts.
People ranging from Sean Nittner to my family to people I don't know on reddit provided critiques, comments, and feedback that have already pushed me into the next revision of the game. Critiques are my favorite part of game design, because new eyes and new problems get the creativity going again. I am really, really excited about where the game goes from here.
I am blogging through my ideas/changes on the design blog. Some of the changes will likely be pushed as early as next Monday. This will include the changes to effect factors. The as-written system (look at relevance, then look at effect factors) has always been clunky in my mind, and I want to go ahead and change over to re-writing all of the effect factors so they integrate in a streamlined fashion.
I am also moving away from being a copy of the Shadowrun world (e.g. Matrix cyberspace, metatypes). Whether or not those changes make the next update will depend on how far I get with them and how much I will need to change character special abilities to accommodate them. Laying out character sheets is super tedious to me, so if they need a ton of changes I'll need a few weeks to build up my tolerance for that work again.

Eliminate Your Knee Pain with This Exercise from Pleasantview Physiotherapy
Athletes who struggle with anterior knee pain such as tendinitis, jumper's knee, and patella femoral problems are lacking a little bit of extension in their knees. Hyper-extension sounds counterintuitive, but you want your knee to give you a little over-extension to function properly.
If you notice any anterior pain in your knees, you could benefit from knee extension exercises. This strengthening exercise will increase your knee's range of motion, making walking, jumping, and running more pleasant.
Sit down on a flat surface with your active leg straight and non-active leg bent.
Contract your leg muscles in the active leg. If your heel pops up from the surface, you have good extension in your knee.
If your heel does not pop up, you need to work on extensions a little. Get a rolled up towel and place it under your heel with your leg straight forward.
Place the heel of your opposite hand on the inside of your shin.
Press the heel of your hand firmly down on the inside on your shin until your leg touches the surface.
This position requires a little rotation of your knee and you need that rotation to get the last bit of extension.
You can repeat this extension exercise 2 minutes on each leg every other day.
This exercise is going to significantly reduce or eliminate any anterior knee pain you have, which is great for your active pursuits. In fact, you'll be surprised how quickly doing this extension exercise can resolve your knee issues.
Contact Pleasantview Physiotherapy today to schedule an appointment with a physiotherapist to see how simple exercises like knee extensions can help you gain flexibility, reduce pain, and enjoy your life more.

Then get in line for this new reality series, in which budding entrepreneurs try to persuade five tycoons to invest in their business proposals in return for part equity in the company. On the panel of "sharks'': real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran, infomercial pioneer Kevin Harrington, technology innovator Robert Herjavec, fashion icon Daymond John and financial expert Kevin O'Leary.
(2)(3) "There Goes the Neighborhood": They say that good fences make good neighbors, but what happens when you erect a big wall around an entire neighborhood, turn off the electricity and have the families therein compete against one another for a $250,000 jackpot? Quite a lot, especially when you have the players voting out a family of neighbors every week. Will these people ever share a potluck supper again? Stay tuned!
(LIFE) "Drop Dead Diva": As Deb tackles a pro bono case on behalf of a man who served 10 years on a wrongful conviction, she realizes she has something in common with her client: Though Deb is 24, Jane's body is about to hit its 32nd birthday, meaning she's basically lost eight years of her life.

Bobby Cannavale and Concetta Tomei guest star in "Wednesday's Women,'' which was directed by series star John Finn.
(COM) "The Comedy Central Roast": Love her or hate her, you have to admit that Joan Rivers knows how to laugh at herself. So she's a perfect target for a roast. Kathy Griffin presides as a generation-spanning group of stars gathers for the occasion; among those sharpening up their barbs are Brad Garrett, Gilbert Gottfried, Mario Cantone, Greg Giraldo, Carl Reiner, Richard Belzer and Robin Quivers. Let the flames begin!

Jong Seok Yoon
Clothes are the place at which the vanity of humans who seek to distinguish oneself from others remain as well as where the desire of affirming one's own unique value intervenes.
Jong Suk Yoon's dialogue with clothes is his way of expressing the problems of our society.
- shapes associated with them, the colors and patterns printed on them, the things he sees by listening to them, drawing out another existence hidden inside.
In a sculpting like manner he reproduces his forms with meticulous dots - using a syringe (a simple unit of minimal expression), like counting each strand of fabric, he 'weaves' the clothes with painted dots - playing between dot and shape. The clothes that were considered dead reincarnate upon being granted with new life.
The protruding dots create and show tactile embossed sculpture as they spread throughout the screen like a rash. It arouses the allurement of wanting to feel with hands. At the same time, these dots turn the image into abstract form.
A beast symbolizes instinct and desire. The clothes with brilliant flower patterns transform into the head of dog, lion, pig or sheep. The 'beast-like' desire hidden in the clothes rears its head. It barks. The uniform of soccer players also takes in the form of handgun. It is like the image association of from offense, shooting and charge towards the goal. The clothes/images he painted/printed tend to be aimed and shot at us or bark at us. They form aggressively inflated and chilling suspense. These soft clothes that are lifeless are aiming toward me.

Resident Green Thumb Clarence "Corky" Ferrell
Alluring flowers invite your gaze
Gazebo sports beautiful colors
Findlay, OH, Retirement Communities
Primrose Findlay resident Clarence "Corky" Ferrell has been very busy this summer keeping our Primrose community flowers looking alive.
Corky is from a small town outside of Findlay, and owned a greenhouse before he moved to Primrose. All ten of Corky's fingers are green, not just his thumbs!
This year, we had a Primrose planting party, where all of our residents planted the beautiful pots and hanging baskets that enhance our community. Corky quickly emerged as our Planting Party chairperson. He made sure all the pots had the right amount of flowers and the right colors.
Since we put the flowers out in May, Corky has been checking them multiple times every day and making sure they have enough water and fertilizer.
Because of Corky's attention to these flowers, our flower baskets look amazing! They make our community look brighter, and their colors invite your gaze. It is so wonderful to have Corky share his talent with us.
By the way, Corky is also known around Primrose for his famous rice Krispy treats. If you visit him in his apartment, he will share them with you!
Thank you, Corky, for helping to make our community beautiful.
by Kellie Bibler
Executive Director
To find out more about the beautiful colors at Primrose, please contact your nearest Primrose Retirement Community today to see more of our fun and social living. We'll happily answer all your questions and show you around our beautiful communities. Come see why we say, THIS IS LIVING!

Physicist: Singularities are just artifacts that fall out of math. They show up a lot in theory, and (probably) never in nature. The "singularities" most people have heard of are black hole singularities.
In practice, when you're calculating something in physics and you find a singularity in your calculation (this happens all the time), which usually looks like "1/x", then that means that there's a mistake somewhere, or you're looking at something that never happens, or there are physical laws or effects that haven't been taken into account.
For example, when you drain water from a tub or sink the water will spiral into the drain. A back of the envelope calculation (based on known principles) shows that the speed, s, that the water is moving is , where r is the distance to the center of the spin, and c is a constant that has to do with how fast the water was turning before you pulled the plug. Notice that this equation implies that as water gets closer and closer to the drain, it will move faster and faster, and that right over the drain it will be moving infinitely fast. So how does the universe find an out? This will look familiar:
Even when you're deep underwater there are outs; turbulence, cavitation, that sort of thing.
A slightly more obscure example is the energy of a charged particle's electric field. If you have an electron just sitting around, the energy, E, of its field outside of a distance, R, from the electron is .
Most of that is just equation porn. The important bit is the " ". Once again there's a mathematical singularity in an equation describing a physical thing. But, once again, the universe (being sneaky) finds a way out. This is a hair less intuitive than the whirlpool thing, but in quantum mechanics an electron is described as being "smeared out" (in an uncertainty principle kind of way). It doesn't exist in any one place, so the idea of getting infinitely close doesn't really make sense.
The whirlpool thing and the electron thing (and hundreds of other examples) are examples of singularities that show up in the math, but can be explained away through experiment and observation, and shown to not be singularities in the physical world.
In general relativity, the shape of spacetime near a spherical mass is given by:
Now, unless you're already a physicist, none of that should make any sense (there are reasons why it took Einstein 11 years to publish general relativity). But notice that, as ever, there's a singularity at r=0. This is the vaunted "Singularity" inside of black holes that we hear so much about.
Something like a star or a planet doesn't have a singularity, because this equation becomes invalid at their surface (this equation is about the empty space around a mass). But, for a black hole the gravity is so intense, and spacetime is messed up so much that it looks as though there's nothing to stop matter from becoming infinitely dense. However, unlike the singularity over the drain in your sink, the singularity in a black hole can't be observed. Which is frustrating.
I suspect that what we call the singularity in black holes either doesn't exist (there is some law/effect we don't know about) or, if cosmic censorship is true, the nature of that singularity both doesn't matter and can't be known, since it can never interact with the rest of the universe. There are some theories (guesses) that would fix the whole "black hole singularity problem" (like spacetime can only get so stretched, or some form of "quantum fuzziness"), but in all likelihood this is just one of those questions that may never be completely resolved.
The whirlpool photo is from here.

Jisedai no To, or the "Party For New Generations" established by conservative lawmakers including former Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara, unveiled its basic policies Thursday, including drafting a new Constitution and denying non-Japanese residents the right to vote in any election, national or local.
The policies were drafted along "neoconservatism" lines — what the party described as a mix of conservative security policies, stricter immigration laws and advocacy of traditional values on the one hand, and "liberalism" in economic areas on the other, such as pursuing regulatory reform.
The basic policy of the party, which broke away from Osaka-based Nipon Ishin no Kai (Japan Restoration Party), is quite similar to the Liberal Democratic Party in terms of the Constitution and national security, which could give the ruling party a boost in pursuing its goals.
Jisedai no To said the new Constitution would encourage independence and "neoconservative" policies while "serving new generations." The requirements for amending the current Constitution should also be eased, it said.
In addition to stating that only Japanese nationals should have the right to vote, the party calls for stricter standards for foreigners to obtain citizenship. It also backs the reinterpretation of the Constitution to permit Japan to exercise the right to collective self-defense.
Jisedai no To was set up in June after 19 members of the Lower House and three from the Upper House bolted Nippon Ishin to support Ishihara's call for the drafting of a new Constitution that does not renounce war.
Nippon Ishin co-leader Toru Hashimoto broke with Ishihara on this issue while Nippon Ishin and Yui no To (Unity Party) were discussing a merger.
Still, Jisedai no To's platform overlaps with Nippon Ishin in some areas. For example both parties call for directly electing the prime minister and pursuing the "doshusei" regional administrative system.
Yet Jisedai no To supports nuclear power while advocating the pursuit of multiple energy sources to reduce dependence on atomic energy, while many Nippon Ishin members are on the fence about aggressively backing nuclear power.
Ishihara, a staunch proponent of nuclear energy, clashed with some members of Nippon Ishin when the party decided to oppose to an atomic energy agreement with Turkey.
Jisedai no To is scheduled to hold a leadership election next Thursday and to make its official debut on Aug. 1.
Interim leader Takeo Hiranuma is expected to win the election because Ishihara has said he will not seek the post.

Note: This page is written for students, staff and visiting workers at the BSU. This facility is not available to other academics or the general public.
The BSU owns two small clusters, hosted and maintained by the Cambridge University High Performance Computing Service.
The CPU cluster contains 28 nodes, each with 16 cores and 64GB of RAM.
The GPU cluster contains 26 nodes, each with 12 cores, 32GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA Tesla K20 GPU. (Note that 3 nodes contain a Tesla M2090 instead). The login node also contains a GPU for testing purposes.
Unable to Login?
If you haven't used your account for a year or two, and find yourself unable to login, you may need to reset your password. Your HPC account now uses your Raven password, but it needs to be 'pushed' to the HPC system first. Go to https://password.csx.cam.ac.uk and select 'Change your password'. It is allowable to re-use the same password. You should now be able to use this password to login to the HPC.
Applying to use the HPC
To apply for an account, users should fill in this online application form.
You will need your Cambridge CRSid (the short letters-and-numbers identifier that you have been issued, eg. ccs36) and your Raven password. If you are a visiting worker who hasn't been issued with these, please speak to Colin Starr (room F42, firstname.lastname@example.com).
The principal investigator is Dr Chris Wallace, email@example.com, phone (3)30389. Department is 'MRC Biostatistics Unit', school is 'Clinical Medicine'. Research group and project title aren't important, so don't worry too much about these. Leave the funding section blank.
Connecting to the Cluster
The BSU no longer uses a dedicated login node. Instead, SSH to one of the main CSD3 login nodes. The only difference between the two is the GPU nodes include a GPU for testing your code. Otherwise you can access all BSU resources from these nodes.
ssh email@example.com
ssh firstname.lastname@example.com
To copy files from your computer to the HPC, use 'scp'. This works similarly to the Unix 'cp' command. For example, to copy files to the HPC:
scp path/to/source firstname.lastname@example.com:path/to/destination
SLURM Queueing System
The HPC uses a queueing system. This means that you don't run your jobs directly, but you submit them to a queue. When sufficient resources are available, the queuing system runs your job. Jobs are run mostly on a first-come-first-served basis, but can rearrange jobs to make the most of the available resources. The queuing system on our clusters is called SLURM.
You tell the system about your job by modifying a SLURM script. There should be two sample scripts in your home directory.
The home directory of your account should contain some sample scripts. Copy this and open it for editing. You need to modify two sections of the file.
The first section specifies the resources you require. The -A option is the account to charge: this should be "MRC-BSU-SL2-CPU" for the CPU cluster, and "MRC-BSU-SL2-GPU" for the GPU cluster. You also need to specify the number of nodes and cores you want.
The wallclock time is an upper time limit on the amount of time your job will be allocated. Jobs that exceed this time will be killed by the system. Please make an effort to estimate this rather than just specify a week or two, as it will aid scheduling and also allow the system to kill locked or faulty jobs.
You will also need to modify the SBATCH -p line, despite the 'Do not change' comment, to specify the name of the BSU cluster. This should be 'bsu-cpu' for the CPU cluster, and 'bsu-gpu' for the GPU cluster.
There are further options that you can specify; for more information see the sbatch manual page: http://slurm.schedmd.com/sbatch.html.
The second section to change is further down the file, where it specifies the command to run, in the variable CMD. If you are using MPI then you want one of the mpirun commands, but for most jobs, you want to specify the 'application' and 'options' variables.
For running an R job, you can use Rscript, for example:
Rscript my_script.R
When your script file is ready, submit it to the queue by running:
sbatch script.txt
Compiling, testing, and interactive nodes
There is only one login node for the BSU system. You can use this node for compiling, editing, and short tests, but remember that this node must remain available for everyone.
Please do not run long jobs on this node. If you need an interactive node or nodes, you can submit an interactive job.
Further Information
There is more documentation available on the HPC website: https://www.csd3.cam.ac.uk/using-clusters, and it is worth browsing through this before doing serious work on the cluster.
In particular, note the section on modules, which allows you to easily choose different software packages or versions.
And if you have any further questions about using the cluster, or how to parallelise and speed up your code, please come and talk to Colin Starr, room F42, email@example.com.

Who doesn't love a good Crock Pot recipe? I found this weight watcher recipe here and knew I just had to make it. It was absolutely amazing! For only 7 points plus you can't get any better than that. (The original recipe called for blue cheese crumbles instead of mozzarella cheese-- my Hubby won't eat that so I replaced it with mozzarella, that may effect the points plus value. I canceled my online subscription or I would have totally checked that out for ya!) Weight Watchers or not this is a recipe for everyone! SO worth the 5 minutes it will take you to throw it together!
Crock Pot Chicken Cordon Bleu
4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1 can 98% fat free cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup fat free milk
4 slices extra lean ham
1 cup dry bread stuffing mix
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Mix the cream of chicken soup and milk together in a bowl. Pour 1/3 of soup mixture into the bottom of the crock pot. Layer chicken over sauce. Cover with slices of ham and cheese. Pour remaining soup over everything Sprinkle the stuffing on top. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or 2-3 hours on high.

Introduction / HistoryThe name of this people group comes from the word nayattu, meaning "hunting." Once skilled hunters and trappers, modern Nayadis are known as scavengers and beggars. Residing in the Indian states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, the Nayadis spend their days searching for water and firewood, making ropes, and gathering herbs for sale. Many are reduced to panhandling on city streets.
As members of the Dalit communities, they may accept assistance from higher classes, but cannot return the favor. They are not accepted by caste Hindus. Until fairly recently, the Nayadis were not even allowed to walk the same streets as Brahmins.
Even as they are socially oppressed, they find themselves spiritually oppressed by their belief in the pantheon of Hindu gods. The Nayadis also worship "regional deities" such as Mallan, Malavarhy and Parakutty.
According to the Joshua Project, there are no Christian believers among the Nayadis, nor has there been any active church planting work in the past two years. They are rightly categorized as one of the world's least-reached people groups.
Prayer Points* Pray for laborers to be sent to preach and demonstrate God's love to the Nayadis.
* Ask Him to pour out His Spirit, softening hearts and opening eyes that have been blinded by the enemy.
* Pray for the God of all comfort to provide relief, meeting their needs for food and clean water.
* Ask Him to create in them a hunger for His Bread of Life, a thirst for His Living Water.
