Hi Tammy, many devs use presskit() as a way to give the press access to media. This free template allows you to both display your media on your website (so press can read/view without downloading), and provides links to download the zip files. You can get the template here.
The choice of speed over style may be off-putting to some, but if you want to submit your news without long waits for pages to load, then this free news release distribution site will be one that you'll enjoy using.
PublicityWires.com offers free online distribution of press releases and media requests. It is a fast growing online publicity resource center for both Public Relations associates and the members of the press.
As the internet has gained prevalence the way journalists like to be approached has also changed. A format suggested by Kristen Nicole, a former Mashable writer who is now the Senior Managing Editor of SiliconANGLE.com. is sending one sentence as to why this story works for my publication, and 5 bullet points for context. Kristen also recommends pitching writers directly over pitching editors saying:
This process involves creating a website section or landing page that houses all of the press releases your organization publishes. Then your graphic designer or video team would create content for your social media specialist to add to your social media posts.
To get a feel for which sites might be best for links, we could use how highly each press release page ranks in search results as a rough indicator of how much link juice that page might be able to pass. When one of our releases appeared on page one of Google web search (and the free release site provided a link) we rated that site highly for link building (note, this is a very simplistic approach, but good enough to get a feel for the sites; a more detailed analysis might give slightly different results).

A Community Tool Box publication offers some tips on avoiding press release rejection by using proper grammar, spelling, titles, style, and prose. Remember, editors won't fix your document for you; that's on you. They might make minor changes.
Tweet It. If I've setup the client's Twitter account in PRLog, the release automatically is Tweeted as it goes live. Most likely, we've got Twitter set to auto-update Facebook, so it gets mentioned there as well. This step helps with indexing the release.
The music is ready for its public debut – now you just need to know how to write a press release. When you write a music press release, you need to get in and get out – in other words; you have to communicate all of the necessary information in a clear and engaging manner without overstaying your welcome with the reader.

Not all press releases contain a release date, but if you decide to include one, put it at below your logo on the left margin. This should either say "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE", or "FOR RELEASE ON [date] AT [time]".
Ensure Your Kickstarter Has Everything Writers Want to See Because many games-to-be promoted on Kickstarter have not come to fruition with what they promised, writers are cautious about which Kickstarters they cover. To increase your chances of coverage, you must now, more than ever, show proof of progress and the ability to deliver. This of course includes an excellent video and other page assets, but many writers want to see a playable demo. (On your Kickstarter page, you reference a playable pre-alpha. Any chance you could derive a playable demo from something like that and make it available to the Kickstarter audience/press? It may help).
The benefit of press releases for SEO is controversial; there are pros and cons to using them as part of your strategy. The influx of natural links from many authoritative sources is indisputably helpful for SEO. When many high-quality news outlets publish your press release, this sends signals of trust to Google. Furthermore, these added links help to diversify your backlink profile and establish brand credibility. Press releases allow you to reap the benefits of the broad readership of these major news outlets, providing brand exposure and referral traffic. It's important to note that links from media placements are the KPI of a press release, not traffic or conversions.
It's simple. A press release is a one to two page document used to call attention to your company and its products/services. They are written in very formulaic ways, and with good reason. Hundreds, if not thousands, of these press releases come onto the scene every day. If they all took different formats, it would be a nightmare for the press to handle.
My Rating: I compute the above statistics and rate each site based on its credibility, traffic, popularity and the quality of results that it yields in the end (after the website distributes your press release).

UMMC JACQUES Initiative helping HIV/AIDS patients live healthy lives
12/8/2017, 6 a.m.
Even though most people know there is treatment for HIV, there may be misperceptions about how the treatment works, side effects and even the cost of HIV treatment, said Dr. Jamie L. Mignano, executive director of the JACQUES Initiative.
"Many people may not be aware that in Maryland, HIV treatment is available to everyone, thanks to the Maryland AIDS Drug Assistance Program, even persons without insurance can access treatment," Mignano said.
There are also many in Baltimore who know someone who has died as a result of AIDS before good treatment was available or because of limited access to regular care.
"These experiences may cause uncertainty and fear," she said, adding that many new cases of HIV in Baltimore are among young African American of the same gender. "This population face multiple challenges and HIV provides a double stigma. Therefore members of this population may be less likely to get tested and therefore risk getting sick from HIV if they are infected due to not knowing their status and getting care and treatment."
However, there is good reason to be optimistic.
"If you have not been tested for HIV, the time is now," said Richardson, who has lived with the illness for some time. "It's better to know your status than to not know. You can live well with HIV, I'm living proof!"

Roller coaster with a loopgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Junkyard Wars : One Thread
Have each team build a simple, gravity-powered roller coaster that includes a single loop or inversion of some sort.
The competition aspect would include having each team member ride the coaster (which takes weight differences into account in construction) and resetting the ride, making sure it had to be repeatable and easy to reset for the next team member.

Hi Andy, I looked thru the new challenge idea faq like you're supposed to....and found this>>>>>It was mentioned about a month or two ago>>>> >>>
Would anyone have thought of a mobile "thing" to go around a loop the loop in the shortest time? Of course, it could'nt be manned by anyone and it would have to be a certain size. Pretty good idea for a 12 year old, wouldnt ya say?
-- Jared M. Porcenaluk (firstname.lastname@example.com), January 10, 2001
Hi Jared, Duane here...Team Captain for "Art Attack" ( we'll be on Junkyard at 10pm tonight.) You must have a hot wheels set. I use to set one up in my house when I was a kid to see how far I could get it to go on just gravity. That's a good idea! Each team could have a certain weight that they had to build the machine under. Then let the machine roll down a course toward a loop de loop. Kind of like unmanned pine box derby but bigger.

The 24th Hour
by Domonkos Gyimesi, Hungary
The point of my film is to show that our world is going to a completely wrong direction. The title implies to the fact that we must start taking serious steps in protecting our planet because we're running out of time. The film compares the beautiful nature to our gray human-made world. My main purpose was to make an "exclamation mark" with this film that I can cut this sentence off with: Protect the nature.

text: As you probably know by now, I'm doing a project with Jesse on a program called swift, more about that in the last post. Anyway, I've downloaded the app and explored with it a bit. I like the way the UI works, it has suggestions at the bottom of the screen, and if you press an up button in the bottom right, the keyboard comes up. It's a little thing that is very noticeable once you start writing longer scripts. Anyway, moving on, I haven't watched any YouTube videos, and I don't plan too as it has tutorials built in and I like exploring myself. It is a very well coded (see what I did there!?) app, that is very god if you wanted to get into coding on an iPad, and also, it's free. Also, a thing that I've noticed when using this, is it's quite similar to JavaScript, except more presets (e.g. you have to define Jump() in JavaScript, whereas you don't on Swift). Anyway, that's just a little update I'd share with the people reading this post, and I'll see you in the next blog post!

Posts Tagged 'London'
Color me humbled. Here I was thinking the UK wasn't exotic enough for two around-the-world travelers who just spent 6 months in Asia. But the beauty of cosmopolitan London, the romanticism of the English countryside, and the history and general awesomeness of North Wales did a lot to change my mind. Just goes to show, you can find whatever it is you're looking for in any country, as long as you remember to keep your mind open and your curiosity healthy.
We don't know what this building in the background is (we even asked some Londoners and they didn't know either), but it's pretty isn't it? Taken in Hyde Park, London.
Days spent here: 16 (July 16-August 1, 2009)
Highlights: hanging out with friends in beautiful London, storming castles in North Wales.
Places we would like to visit next time: Scotland, especially Edinburgh
Average daily expenditures (for two people): US$95/day in London (note that we did not pay for housing because we stayed with a friend); US$200 the rest of the time we were in the UK (including our rental car)
Guidebooks we used: Eyewitness London and Rick Steves' Great Britain. Honestly, we probably wouldn't have chosen these books for ourselves, but our generous host in London (Chi-Chi) had them sitting on her bookshelf so we were able to borrow them for free. Up until now, we have primarily used Lonely Planet guidebooks, and I guess we've grown accustomed to the LP's format, because we found all the photos and illustrations in Eyewitness London distracting. Just give us the quick and dirty info we need, Eyewitness! Rick Steves' book was much more useful, but it is obviously slanted towards older travelers. In one case, he recommended making a hotel reservation via phone, fax, or letter. Letter?!? Who writes letters?!?
Prices: No bones about it, the UK (and especially London) is expensive. Even with the sterling pound down in the currency markets, it still reigns over the crappy dollar. In particular, dining out will really hurt your pocketbook, with a pub meal in London running at minimum £10 (US$15). In London, you can keep costs down by (1) going to museums (which are free) and avoiding outrageously expensive tourist sights like the London Tower, and (2) making friends with someone who has a spare couch.
The excellent (and gorgeous!) Natural History Museum in London.
Accommodation can also hurt the budget. We spent between £55-60 (approx. US$90-100) for double rooms with bathroom ensuite.
Surprisingly, renting a car in the UK is quite cheap. Our week driving around England and Wales set us back a reasonable US$34 per day.
Weather: We were in the UK during summer, which we found quite pleasant! Of course, bear in mind that we came from China, where the heat and humidity pretty much defeated us, so we found the cooler temps in the UK quite refreshing. We had some rain but also some gloriously clear weather, and the days were nice and long (we imagine that winter in the UK might be a bit depressing, with darkness starting at 4PM and all).
Food: Nobody seems to believe us, but we swear it's true: British food is good now! It is still the case that walking into any old sandwich shop is not going to get you the best grub, but there are really excellent restaurants out there now (at all price ranges) that serve food on par with any other cosmopolitan city. In fact, we had some of the best salmon we've ever tasted at Chi-Chi's local pub in Chiswick (The Roebuck) for only £5 (about US7.50)!
And of course, despite the UK's bad culinary reputation, the English breakfast has always reigned supreme:
The glorious English breakfast: ham, sausage, fried eggs, fried mushroom, fried tomatoes, and beans.
Accommodation: We can't comment on accommodation in London, since we stayed with a friend, but it seems that B&Bs are the best value in the English and Welsh countryside. We stayed in a youth hostel in Wales and had to pay extra for breakfast and towels, which would have been included in the price if we stayed at a B&B.
Little Broom, our cute B&B in Maugersbury, near Stow-in-the-Wold, the Cotswolds.
Transit: In London, we got around on the Tube, and we generally found it to be excellent, with good coverage and easy transfers. Our one complaint: there seems to be no ventilation in the cars other than tiny windows at the beginning and end of each car. I know London's weather is typically pretty dreary, but we found the Tube stifling on days when the mercury barely busted 70 degrees!
For the rest of our week exploring England and Wales, we rented a car, which, at only US$34 per day, was quite reasonable considering how much everything else costs in the UK.
Internet: Like most developed countries, wi-fi is either locked or expensive, and sometimes both.
Culture: We only visited England and Wales, but there are pretty big cultural differences between the two home nations. In general, people in London tend to be like people in most big cities: rushed and at times dismissive (though Londoners have the added joy of being aggressive drunks). We also noticed that Londoners tend to think of everyone north of London as backcountry hicks. In general, we found the people in the English countryside and Wales nicer and friendlier than the people in London…but I don't mean to give Londoners a bad name. Our friend-of-a-friend Jonah and his girlfriend were really, really cool and they took us out to all these excellent off-the-beaten-path bars and clubs the night we went out with them. So while the average Londoner on the street might not strike you as overly friendly, they are excellent hosts and their distance might just be a function of the big city.
The ladies with the big hats going to a function at Buckingham Palace.
In short: Incredible architecture, historic sites, beautiful countryside, AND good food (yes, really)! We had a wonderful time in the UK!
I was mistaken when I thought that London wasn't exotic enough. Though after 6 months in Asia, I suppose even white bread and vanilla ice cream can seem like curiosities. I just couldn't get over the diversity—Europeans, Africans, Russians, people from the Middle East…all of them rushing around in this busy city. One of our most fascinating outings in London was our visit to Harrods (the famous department store), where we watched women in full burka shopping for designer threads and expensive lingerie (which begs the question…why bother spending $500 on a shirt if no one is going to see it?).
In fact, our friends in London are a mini-United Nations in and of themselves: Chi-Chi (our fabulous and generous Chinese American host), Conall and Mariam (Irish and French-Caribbean), Brendan and Eela (American and Persian), and Corre Marie and Matt (Japanese American and Irish/English). And we made new friends with an English/Argentinian couple.
Brendan, Jeremy, Conall, Mariam, Chi-Chi, and Hope enjoying pints at The Cow.
Matt, Jeremy, Corre Marie, and me.
Most of our buddies just moved to London in the past year, but Corre Marie (who Jeremy has known since she was in diapers) and her boyfriend Matt have lived in London for a while, so they helped explain all that confusing passive aggressiveness to us (Matt: "The English, man, they're dour! They're dour!). Matt's opinion was confirmed after a late night out with the English/Argentinian couple: some guy tried to pick a fight with Jeremy after the two accidentally collided, despite the fact that he was a head shorter than either of us (he threatened both of us with "I punch you in the face!"). I'm sure the pint or ten he threw back at the pub didn't help matters. Hey, Americans may be annoying tourists, but at least we're loving drunks.
But I suppose any big city is going to have its share of cranky people, and luckily, we didn't have any further run-ins with drunken killjoys. In fact, we had a great time enjoying this fabulous city…wandering around different neighborhoods by day and going out with friends at night.
Street performer, Piccadilly circus.
Many of the sights around London charge exorbitant entry fees, which can be as high as £20 or almost US$32 per person! So we didn't do a lot of the "typical" London sightseeing like the London Tower, Westminster Abbey, or London Eye. We did, however, visit Buckingham Palace, even though the Queen charges a royal fee for the privilege (£16.50 or US$26 per person)! The audio tour is narrated by members of the royal family, and it was a good thing to do once in our lives, though if/when we return to London, we'll probably save our pounds for a pint.
Luckily, all the of the museums in London are free, and very impressive. I adored the V&A and its fascinating display of the historic and the futuristic. I was particularly enamored with the fashion and footwear collection (is anyone surprised?), which had 18th century corsets on display next to work by current student designers at the Royal Academy of Art. The V&A also had a fabulous temporary exhibition called Telling Tales, which was all about the role of fairy tales in contemporary industrial design. AWESOME.
Surprisingly, I was a bit disappointed with the Tate Modern. Mostly because the curation seemed a bit chaotic to me, and the pieces seemed too close to each other. Let the art breathe, Tate Modern!
Both Jeremy and I loved the Natural History Museum, though mostly for the stunning building, with its Romanesque archway entry and the collection of stone animal sculptures decorating the exterior of the building.
Exterior of the Natural History Museum.
A skeletal scene inside the museum.
The parks in London are also a budget-friendly way to pass the time. Richmond Park is by far the biggest and most fabulous in the city. With deer!
The spotted deer in Richmond Park.
We also wandered around some of the markets. Spitalfields, billed as a market for up-and-coming fashion designers, actually has a bunch of cheap made-in-China clothing for a sale. Needless to say, it was a disappointment. Portabello Market was a bit more "English authentic", but so crowded that it was not enjoyable (unless you like that sort of thing).
Speaking of crowds, the Tube is fabulous, but can someone please do something about the ventilation in there?
We spent 10 days in London, enjoying the cool weather, eating fun Western foods that we hadn't eaten in six months (like hamburgers and bacon), and going out with friends. London is a gorgeous city with fabulous things to do and see. Just try not to bump into any drunk English blokes.

Did you know?
- The UK ≠ Great Britain ≠ England. The United Kingdom is made up of three distinct "home nations": England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Note that England is only one "home nation" within the United Kingdom. Great Britain consists of the "continental" home nations of England, Scotland, and Wales. Therefore, Great Britain + Northern Ireland = United Kingdom.
- The queen "owns" all the animals in London's parks. So if you accidentally kill a duck or a deer, you can be tried for treason. Really.
- Brits do not pronounce the "ce" or "w" in the middle of a sentence. So "Chiswick" becomes "Chizzick" and "Worcester" becomes "Wurster."
- English food is good now. No really. Seriously. No, I mean it. I know it will be hard for most people to believe, but I swear it's true. No, you're not going to get good grub if you walk into the average sandwich shop on the street. But the rise of gastropubs means that most of the time, you can get a good meal with your pint without even looking that hard for it.

It's not that I wasn't interested—I've never been there (Jeremy has) and I was curious about the place, but just not now. I didn't feel like it was very exotic—the UK is a place we could travel with kids later on in life, and I was gung ho to continue roughing it.
Two months in China changed my mind.
More accurately, two months of intense heat in China changed my mind. Originally, our around-the-world tickets had us flying from Beijing to Amman, Jordan. Call that poor research on our part—flying to the middle of the desert in July? Not smart. We needed to kill some time while the planet cooled down a bit before heading to the Middle East, and we had a friend offer us her place in London (which is the only way it would have been affordable for us to visit). So why not? We chose Qingdao based on the climate, why not London?
Ominous-looking clouds over the National Gallery. If you ever feel like complaining about the miserable weather in the UK, just spend two months in the oppressive heat of China. Then London will feel like heaven on earth. A nice, cool, sometimes rainy heaven on earth.
Plus, China was tough, and we were kind of over it by the end (it's worth noting, however, that the misery has diminished with time—we think of China fondly now). As London loomed closer in our calendars, I started positively salivating at the thought of indulging in Western "comforts" like throwing toilet paper in the toilet and drinking tap water. And, I felt there was a kinship between Americans and Brits. I imagined landing at the airport and feeling like I was in a home away from home. They'll welcome us with open arms and we'll all make jokes in English and maybe they'll offer us a spot of tea and crumpet. Right?
Not so much.
Of all the immigration checkpoints we've been through, I've never been grilled as hard as I was entering London. Why was I here? (Tourism.) Where am I staying? (With a friend.) How long am I planning on staying? (Three weeks.) What was I planning on doing? (I don't know yet.) You are going to be here for 3 weeks and you don't know yet? (Um, I guess I'll go see Buckingham Palace?) After about 5 minutes of rapid questioning, the immigration officer was finally satisfied and let me through. I found out later that they go through this whole rigamarole to see if there are any inconsistencies in your story. You know, just in case your occupation starts with the letter "T." And rhymes with "herrorist."
Um, excuse me, but I think your hat is a little crooked.
I quickly found out that Jeremy too got yelled at by the immigration officer for not going up to the window with me (I guess families are supposed to go through together). And then some lady bumped into me and said "Watch where you're going." Suddenly the chaos of China isn't looking so bad…
Despite the shaky start, we ended up having a great time in London. It didn't hurt that we have a lot of friends here (and made new ones). Our friend Chi-Chi generously let us crash in her guest room for a whopping 10 days, so we felt right at home. Minus the passive aggression.

The album starts with a few epic melodic metal songs (the title song and 'Better Face'), 'The Fire That Still Burns' is the ballad of the album, an unusual slow tempo song with even a sax-solo.
All in one with Doom of Destiny Axxis has delivered a melodic power metal that fits rather well in today's power metal scene. Because of the production and the performance of the songs Doom of Destiny has become an interesting album for every melodic power metal fan. Have a lot of fun.

Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden and National Archivist David S. Ferriero will present at the 2018 ALA Annual Conference and Exhibition in New Orleans
For Immediate Release
Fri, 05/18/2018
Donna Hunter
Marketing Coordinator
Conference Services
CHICAGO - Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden and National Archivist David Ferriero discuss the importance of collecting physical information and materials in the digital age. The Library of Congress and the National Archives are the home of the nation's most valuable treasures and historical documents. During their conversation, the Librarian and the Archivist will discuss the role of their institutions in making these resources accessible to the public. This session will take place on Sunday, June 24, 2018, 10:30-11:30am at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.
Carla Hayden was sworn in as the 14th Librarian of Congress in September 2016. She is the first woman and the first African American to lead the national library. She was nominated to the position by President Barack Obama in February 2016 and her nomination was confirmed by the U.S. Senate, July 2016.
Prior to her current post she served as CEO of the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, Maryland. She was nominated by former President Obama to be a member of the National Museum and Library Services Board in January 2010 and was confirmed to that post by the Senate in June 2010. Prior to joining the Pratt Library, Hayden was deputy commissioner and chief librarian of the Chicago Public Library; an assistant professor for Library and Information Science at the University of Pittsburgh; and the library services coordinator for the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. She began her career with the Chicago Public Library as the young adult services coordinator and as a children's librarian.
Hayden was president of the American Library Association from 2003 to 2004. In 1995, she was the first African American to receive Library Journal's Librarian of the Year Award in recognition of her outreach services at the Pratt Library, which included an after-school center for Baltimore teens offering homework assistance and college and career counseling. Hayden received a B.A. from Roosevelt University and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the Graduate Library School of the University of Chicago.
David S. Ferriero was confirmed as 10th Archivist of the United States in 2009. Early in 2010 he committed the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to the principles of Open Government—transparency, participation, and collaboration. To better position NARA to fulfill these goals, Ferriero initiated an agency transformation to restructure the organization and set goals to further the mission, meet the needs of those who rely on them, and find new and creative ways to approach the agency's work.
Ferriero served as the Andrew W. Mellon Director of the New York Public Libraries (NYPL), part of the leadership team responsible for integrating the four research libraries and 87 branch libraries into one seamless service for users, creating the largest public library system in the U.S., and one of the largest research libraries in the world. His responsibilities included collection strategy; conservation; digital experience; reference and research services; education, programming, and exhibitions.
Before joining the NYPL, Ferriero served in top positions at two of the nation's major academic libraries, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Duke University.
Ferriero earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in English literature from Northeastern University in Boston, and a master's degree from the Simmons College of Library and Information Science.
This session is sponsored by the Library of Congress.

This from the BBC is very interesting.
"in politics, when you are explaining, you are losing. And that makes anything as complex or as messy as healthcare reform a very hard sell."
"stories always trump statistics"
"in contemporary politics, if you can fake sincerity, you have got it made"
... please excuse me ... this is how I rant ... mostly to myself inside my head ... sometimes to Fionnuala ... sometimes to my computer/everyone in the whole wide intarweb ...
What in this world now is not made complex, even seemingly simple things opened up to debate and put under the microscope suddenly have murky waters with hydraen creatures lurking). Any issues with complexity like any green/environment/planning issues, like Lisbon have many facets. If you are against one facet then it puts you against the whole thing. Focus is much more easily put against any negative facets and positive facets count for nothing.
We must understand all facets of an issue logically and scientifically correctly and work out the best solutions. But when debating politically and persuading people the logic and intellectual argument only counts for a little.
Can we debate and convince people of the correct argument in an entertaining and sincere and emphatic way which is also honest and accurate?
After working out the intellectual argument every point should be translated to allegory. But that can then be countered by better allegory. Nuts.

Treatment plans are unique to each individual.
Functional medicine treatment is considerably different from the traditional-medicine model. Your treatment with Dr. Karney can be divided into two phases:
- Initial Evaluation
- Ongoing Treatment
The Initial Evaluation has 2 components:
1. At the initial consultation Dr. Karney will review the questionnaires that you have completed detailing your past history and current concerns. Based on this initial assessment she will determine what labs would be helpful. She will make initial recommendations for nutrition, exercise and supplements which will start you on your path towards improved health. This visit will last 90 minutes and should be done in person.
What to bring to the first appointment:
- Health documents from other providers
- Recent lab reports from the past year
- Current supplements you take–bring the BOTTLES for Dr. Karney to review
What to expect at your first appointment:
- A thorough history, starting at birth, looking for clues to your current health issues
- A review of your prior treatments and evaluations
- A review of your current diet and habits
- A review of your current activity level and exercise recommendations
- A discussion of what your ideal diet should be
- A review of your current supplements and medications with possible suggestions of changes
Initial laboratory evaluation is individualized, but may include:
- Blood tests measuring cholesterol, thyroid function, vitamin levels, autoimmune markers, and markers of hidden infections
- Advanced stool testing to screen for digestive inadequacies, parasites, fungal overgrowth, bacterial infections, intestinal inflammation, and dysbiosis
- Breath testing for gastrointestinal bacterial imbalances
- Urine or serum testing to screen for toxin overload
- Saliva or serum hormone testing for adrenal and sex hormone status
- Genetic testing for detoxification and neurotransmitter enzyme functionality
2. Your next visit will be 45-60 days after your initial intake, as some of the labs take 4-6 weeks to return. At this visit Dr. Karney will review the test results with you and further personalize your treatment plan. This visit will last 60 minutes. Dr. Karney prefers this be in person, but telephone or video-conferencing are alternatives.
Ongoing Treatment
Once you are on your way to improved health, visit frequencies are individualized based on your health needs. When you are new in the program with changing needs, every 6-8 weeks is anticipated. At these visits Dr. Karney will review your progress on the treatment plan, along with any follow-up test results, and make additional recommendations as necessary.
As you become more comfortable with the program and your health improves the visit frequencies will be adjusted. Follow-up visits may be done in person, by phone, or via video-conferencing. If you live a distance away from Dr. Karney she will want to see you in her office at least once a year, while you are in the program.

New Zealand designer Mal Corboy will be on the adjudicating panel of the 2011 International Design Award.
February 7th, 2011
Submissions have now closed for the biennual International Design Award 2011, with judges getting ready to make their selection from the high calibre of award entrants.
This year the judging panel for the Award – originally established by German companies Hettich and REHAU to foster the talents of young designers – has a special representative from the Southern Hemisphere.
Acclaimed kitchen designer Mal Corboy has been chosen as adjudicating panel member at the event, to be held in Germany in March 2011.
Kitchen design by Mal Corboy
Corboy – brand ambassador to Hettich Australia/NZ and the only designer to have won the award himself in both countries – is excited to have been selected to sit alongside some of the most prominent architects, designers and university lecturers from around the world.
"I feel extremely privileged to be invited to be involved in such a prestigious international award," Corboy said.
"For generations we've looked to Europe for our inspiration, but now it is our turn to be recognised as a nation of great design."
The International Design Award is well regarded for its history of promoting innovation and acting as a forum for monitoring trends, and Corboy's involvement is a significant accolade.
"A few years ago this would have been unlikely," said Dave Angus, Marketing Manager of Hettich Australia.
"This invitation shows that the rest of the world is waking up to the quality of our talent and fresh outlook of our designers."
Corboy will be looking for innovation, originality and engagement in the winning design.
"The best design is borne out of passion and incites an emotion with the viewer," he says.

One mandatory training session is required for all new volunteers. During training and orientation, volunteers will receive the Fair 411 and t-shirt to wear when volunteering.
Additionally, volunteers receive free outside gate admission and season parking, a restricted parking area for easy in and out, access to Volunteer Headquarters whether working or not, and invitations to the Spring Fling and Appreciation Banquet.
Important Dates

home / Italian Spesometro simplifications in 2018
The Italian tax authorities recently published several changes to the Spesometro obligations.
At Marosa we developped a software to convert automatically your Book of invoices issued and received into the XML required by the tax authorities. We will also automatically produce your VAT return with our software. Contact us to receive more information about our Spesometro solution.
The new deadline to submit the Spesometro for the second semester of 2017 is 6 April 2018. This due date was originally set on 28 February, but the deadline has now been extended for over a month.
The due dates on the return obligation were already extended two times in 2017, therefore we will not be surprised if further changes are published in the next few months.
The address of suppliers and customers will no longer be required in the ID data reported for each transaction.
One the most recurrent issues when producing the XML files for 2017 were related to the address of suppliers and customers. This is due to different formats and information in each address, particularly when the supplier or customer are located in a foreign country.
Despite the initial plans of requiring the Spesometro returns to be submitted on a quarterly basis in 2018, the authorities recently announced that it is possible to submit this return every six months.
The updated deadlines with the new frequency of filing in 2018 are the following:
The confirmation of the deadline extension and some of the changes explained above is available in the website of the Italian tax authorities.
Given our experience with similar obligations in Italy, we expect further changes to be published in the future about the Spesometro obligation.
At Marosa we have an automated solution to produce the Spesometro XML file and VAT return based on your periodic invoice listing. Please contact us if you would like to hear more about this solution.


text: Tan What used to take days in the sun,now only takes seconds. Instant UV-FREE Tan, powered by Sweetan Italy, mists your body with premium bronzers, moisturizers and Anti-Aging for a smooth, natural-looking, beautiful tan in seconds. If you have trouble tanning, this UV-free solution is right for you. It's also a great way to complete your look for a special event or night on the town. TANNING SOLUTION This tanning solution is the result of the most advanced research in the field of tanning. The exclusive Sweetan formulation uses the highest quality raw materials in order to obtain the first tan, the best natural tan possible. The basic ingredients are DHA and erythrulose without any added colour. The solution is absorbed by the skin without leaving any traces and is non-greasy. Tanning is achieved by the reaction of the proteins in the out layers of the skin with the tanning product, creating colored compounds that last until the natural renewal of the epidermis. Erythrulose also produces a "delay" effect which prolongs the duration of the tan, resulting in less dry skin and providing a natural color that's not streaky. Your Sparadise associate will work with you to decide which of these four sweetan formulations is best for you: Tanning Types Photo type 1: A natural glow with a hint of color (recommended for light skin/ Blond) Photo type 2 : 1-3 shades darker than your natural skin tone (recommended for light/medium skin) Photo type 3: 2-4 shades darker than your natural skin tone (recommended to medium /dark skin) Intensive Treatment: 3-5 shades darker than your natural skin tone (recommended for person already tanned or dark skin) ANTI-AGING SOLUTION The anti-aging solution maintains and restores the hydro-lipid balance of the skin. Useful in preventing and combating aging of the skin, the solution reduces wrinkles and expression lines. Its nourishing effect gives skin a radiant and compact look. A fraction of highly purified active rice protein protects the skin from colagenases and damage due to UV radiation. Moreover it protects the skin from premature aging due to various environmental factors. A blend of essential oils such as Bergamot, Benzoin and Ylang-ylang give the solution a refreshing, stimulating, soothing, and anti-oxidant effect. MOISTURIZING SOLUTION The moisturizing solution gives the skin the right level of hydration and smoothness. It contains naturally derived polysaccharides (corn and soy) and being rich in Fucose the moisturizing product is particularly suitable for hypersensitive or delicate skin. Rigorous scientific tests have shown that fucose retains water molecules within the skin by increasing hydration up to 79% in three hours. WELLNESS EFFECT The wellness effect of infrared lamps is significantly reducing pain and stiffness caused by muscle and joint tension. The pleasant heat generated by infrared light penetrate the skin, improving blood circulation, warming your muscles, and alleviating muscle tension. The increased blood circulation helps to eliminate toxins and flush the muscles with oxygen-rich blood, eliminating pain. TONING SOLUTION The toning solution is the synergistic result of walnut, meddler, and Asiatic pennyworth extracts. The solution has an astringent and toning function.The result is skin firming and collagen synthesis stimulation. Video What should I do to prepare? Before you come in for your Sweetan Session we strongly recomend that you shower, shave and exfoliate your skin. Exfoliated skin helps create a more even, natural color. Keep in mind that once you have been sprayed you do not want to get wet for 5 hours, otherwise the solution will not take to your skin. What should I wear? Most people tend to wear nothing as the Sweetan booth is completely private. If you do choose to wear a bathing suit or any form of clothing while in the Sweetan booth please be aware that if you add additional DHA, clothing has the slight possibility to become stained. However, the bronzers that are in the Sweetan cartridge are water soluble and will come clean in the wash! How long will my results last? You can expect to see your color last between five to seven days, But long baths, shower, swimming, or laying in the sand encourage exfoliation which reduces the duration of the tan. Will the Sweetan turn me orange? Absolutely not! When sunless products first arrived on the market, they did have that orange based tint and streaking. Most of these results were due to the quality of the bronzers and also due to improper application of the product. Do it yourself sunless tanners tend to not be applied in a 100% even manner. Excessive amounts in one spot of the body can create an orange tint and develop unnatural dark spots. Many hand-help applications tend to run and cause streaking and are still not going to be applied to the body in a 100% even manner. However, Sweetan has come a LONG way from those days, developing beautiful bronze based bronzers that look magnificent on EVERYONE! Each session is give you 100% beautiful, natural, and even results!

Here's what confuses me.
Is Affiliate Marketing considered Network Marketing?
I know Network Marketing has a bad reputation in some circles because some compare it to pyramid schemes.
Don't get me wrong. I know how affiliate marketing works and how network marketing works... but here's my concern:
Although network marketing is legal, my own personal opinion is that it may be slightly unethical. I just want to make sure the same can't be said about affiliate marketing(ethics-wise).
I know affiliate marketing is legal and I always thought it was 100% ethical too but I heard someone group it under network/referral marketing the other day and since then, I have this little doubt in my mind.

In The Mood for Love, directed by Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai in 2000, earned second place on a BBC list of the 100 best movies of the 21st century.
Two films by Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Brokeback Mountain (2005), ranked 35th and 40th respectively.
The list was compiled based on surveys from 177 film critics from every continent except Antarctica. Some contributors are newspaper or magazine reviewers, while others write primarily for websites. Academics and cinema curators were well-represented too, according to BBC.
Other Asian films on the list include the 2001 Japanese anime fantasy film Spirited Away, written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki, which ranked fourth; Oldboy (2003) by Korean director Park Chan-wook, which ranked 30th; and Spring, Summer, Fall,Winter... and Spring" (2003) by Korean director Kim Ki-duk, which ranked 66th.
The year 2000 was deemed a landmark in global cinema. In particular, BBC noted that the world "saw the emergence of new classics from Asia like nothing we had ever seen before."

Blown away by the popularity of cricket people have almost forgotten that hockey is the National game of India. They probably don't even remember that hockey was the game through which India won her 1st ever gold medal in the Olympics way back in 1928 at Amsterdam. People across the globe started recognizing Indian players and gave importance to them only because of the way we played the game of hockey. India has won a total of 11 medals at the Olympics in hockey with 8 gold,1 silver and 2 bronze and a world cup victory in1975. The Indian players were wizards with their hockey sticks.
Hockey was introduced in India by British Army regiments and the game soon found favour among the native Indians. The first hockey club in India came up in Calcutta in 1885-86 and soon Bombay and Punjab followed and the first clubs formed there in Calcutta in 1885. The Beighton Cup and the Aga Khan tournament had commenced within ten years. It was mainly restricted to the armed forces, and it was the army teams which toured foreign lands as early as 1900`s. India`s first representation in Olympics was pioneered by hockey, and it was done in great style.
The period from 1928 to 1956 was the golden era of Indian hockey. During this period India won six consecutive gold medals on the trot at the Olympics. Across these six Olympics Indian players won all the 24 matches they played. They scored a total of 178 goals at an average of 7.43 goals per match and conceded only 7. For over 20 years there were 2 triple Olympics gold medallists. One was a man named Dhyan Chand. For all my readers this man in your terms was the Don Bradman of Hockey and the other player was the goalkeeper Richard James Allen who didn't concede a single goal at the Amsterdam Olympics of 1928.
The Amsterdam games became the first stage of wizardry of the great Dhyan Chand . The wizardry was not only meant for the spectators but also for the opponents. At times the opposition players became spectators with sticks and jerseys and they could only watch Dhyan Chand's magic and could do nothing about it. Richard Allen James, the goalkeeper didn't concede a single goal during the 1928 Olympics and he conceded only a total of 3 goals in all the 3 Olympics he played.
The 1932 Los Angeles Olympics witnessed world records created by India. India defeated USA 24 goals to 1 in one match and in this particular match Roop Singh scored 10 goals which is the highest number of goals scored by a player in one single match till date. India then marched onto Berlin where they didn't receive an altogether a pleasant welcome. India went on to reach the final without conceding a single goal. In the final India were up against the host nation Germany and playing in front of a 40,000 strong crowd. It was the biggest crowd till then to watch an Olympic hockey match. Amongst the audience was Adolf Hitler who left midway through, disgusted at Germany's plight. The Germans decided to play rough and went after Dhyan Chand and resulted in broken teeth for the Indian captain but he quickly took first aid and came back on to the ground. As the stunned crowd watched India continuously took the ball up to the opponent's circle and back passed to mystify them. India ultimately vanquished Germany 8-1.
Then, came the London Olympics in 1948 which occurred soon after the Independence in 1947. India defeated Great Britain in the final by 4-0 and thus won its 4th consecutive gold medal. This medal is extremely special for India as it is the 1st medal won by India under its tricolour.
India again were crowned champions when they won at the Helsinki Olympics of 1952.They defeated Holland(now the Netherlands) 6-1 and won their 5th gold. In the 1956 Melbourne Olympics 12 teams were divided into 3 groups. India won all her group matches. They beat Afghanistan 14-0, USA 16-0 and Singapore 6-0 and stormed into the semi-finals with 36 goals in 3 matches.
India scraped past Germany 1-0 to move into the final. For the first time ever India were playing against arch rivals Pakistan in an Olympic final and India won. Thus they won their 6th consecutive gold. At this Olympics Udham Singh scored 15 goals which was the highest by an Indian at an Olympics till date. At the Rome Olympics of 1960 Pakistan had defeated India to end India's amazing run at the Olympics.
Next came the Tokyo Olympics of 1964 which was the first Olympics to be held on Asian grounds. India went on to win Gold at this one to and collected her 7th gold medal at the Olympics and finally India won their 8th gold at the Moscow Olympics of 1980. However 28 years have passed India hasn't won a single medal till now. Since the 1970's the Netherlands, Germany and Australia have dominated the game of Hockey. India's worst ever performance took place preparing for the Olympics of Beijing 2008 where they didn't even qualify for the games . They lost out to England in the final qualifying match. At present qualifying for the all prestigious Olympics looks a distant memory.
The present situation looks pretty grim. There have been instances where India in the late 1990's under the captaincy of the mercurial Dhanraj Pillay rose to 3rd , 4th positions in the International Hockey Federation(FIH) rankings by winning prestigious tournaments like the Sultan Azlan Shah cup and better performances in champions trophy. Presently India are ranked 9th in the world. But India has been inefficient to maintain the consistency of the past. There have been many serious reasons behind these drastic changes in Indian hockey. Lack of proper infrastructure is one of the major causes of underdevelopment of hockey in India. In modern day, hockey is being played on Astroturf which is a form of green carpet which has considerably increased the speed of playing but in India there is still a number of stadiums where players are used to playing on grassy fields. This has probably been one significant reason which has dented Indian players from competing equally with players from European countries and from Australia and New Zealand. Even the Koreans, Japanese and Chinese have started playing hard against us with the proper development of the game in their respective states. Because of proper importance given to the fitness levels of the players from the countries mentioned above they have better stamina and greater running speeds.
Though with the induction of foreign coaches the Indian hockey board have tried to raise the level of hockey to match international standards but still we lack behind. Recently under new coach Michael Nobbs India won the inaugural Asian Champions Trophy with a blend of young players in the Indian squad. This was one important boost Indian hockey needed badly.
The present scenario of Indian hockey is not as sweet as it used to be. However, the pride of the past is still very much present in the hearts of every single Indian. It is a major satisfaction that players of all teams still consider India to be the pilgrim of hockey. Hockey was extremely popular in the earlier days. There were numerous supporters who used to flood to the stadiums to see the greats of the game play. It is still said that those greats were more artists than players. Every single movement had something special which made the ticket price of every single supporter worth.
The players were the main reason for making hockey such a popular game. It can also be said, that the glorious hockey history of India is the major reason for making the game so very popular all over the world. The hockey history of India is an extremely glorious one. There was a time, when people in India used to go mad about the game. The main reason for this was the presence of some great legends of the game in Indian colours. The historical base of India in terms of hockey is a very strong one, and it has not only made the hockey sector proud, but the entire country proud in several different ways.
Forget the past and aim towards the future – is an inspirational line no doubt, but with such glorious history, a pathetic present and a future which seems to go nowhere, it is advised to see glimpses from a memorable past, a past that has been etched in the annals of eternity, which is sure to inspire not one, but several generations of hockey players, for amongst them, and not among critics, lies the ray of hope for Indian hockey.
If the entire world history is a book, then these pages are missing – for they are written not in the books of time bound history, but in the heart of time less eternity
