As well as Charlton Athletic are performing this season, manager Bob Peeters insists he has no interest in the current Championship table.
Having finished 18th in the standings last season and thereby avoiding relegation by just seven points, Jose Riga left his position as head coach at the end of the campaign. Peeters was brought in to replace his fellow Belgian, and he was tasked with ensuring the Addicks were not dragged into another battle to avoid a return to a League One they last played in during 2011-12.
However, the 40-year-old has made a better than expected start to the season. The 1-0 win at Reading on Saturday afternoon was their sixth of the season, and lifts them to seventh in the table, a point off a playoff berth and just five behind leaders Derby County. Peeters, though, is refusing to look at the current league ladder, insisting he will only do so when the New Year arrives.
"The only thing I care about now is that we have 27 points, for me that is the most important thing," he said. "I'm not looking at the table now with 29 games to play, but if we can keep our shape and keep getting the points then it's very positive and we will reassess in January. But we need to enjoy it. Our players deserve a good rest now before we face the biggest game of the season for the fans next."
Due to the international break there is no Championship calendar this weekend. When the domestic action resumes Charlton host capital rivals Millwall at The Valley, which will provide the home side with the opportunity to move 12 points ahead of their opponents, which is another mark of progress as they finished the 2013-14 season just three points ahead of Ian Holloway's side.

Event-based marketing is
gaining ground because it drives value-producing action — and can be
tailored to individual customers
Chris Twogood
VP Teradata CRM Marketing
July 08 - 14, 2002
More than ever before, leading-edge companies are
lining up to invest in a highly compelling dimension of CRM (Customer
Relationship Management) — event-based marketing. The term 'event' is
tossed around loosely and often exploited to refer to a wide variety of
marketing solutions and software products. Even well informed marketing
professionals use the term to describe many different capabilities or
methodologies. That's why it is important to provide a clear and
definitive framework for industry and business client discussions.
Event-based marketing is gaining ground because it
drives value-producing action — and can be tailored to individual
customers. It thrives on detailed customer interaction and specific
behaviour. Best of all, it is calculated to produce rapid responses, or
intervention, aimed at creating pre-defined business value. In short,
event-based marketing is appealing to pragmatic, payback-minded
executives because event technology has in many cases paid for itself
several times over — within months or weeks of implementation.
Event-based marketing has come a long way. Mature
technology tools and methodologies are available to make it happen.
Teradata® is ranked a global leader in this field by analysts because
of our years of experience defining, developing and automating 'events'
with our customers. Through this experience, we have defined four major
customer 'event' categories based on programs our customers actually
execute with success. For each type of event, we have also identified,
in terms of percentages, the dramatic returns that marketers can expect
— based on our experiences with Teradata clients.
In a broad sense, event-based marketing is a
strategic business process designed to enhance the dialogue and
relationships a company has with its individual customers. To work as
promised and deliver positive results, it requires advanced technology
and carefully crafted marketing plans. The extreme complexity of
marketing one-to-one — across multiple channels to millions of
customers — demands no less than detailed process design and
technology integration — to ensure effective, automated dialogue that
is relevant, timely and produces business value.
More specifically, event-based marketing refers to a
number of technology-enabled communication tactics that can be
implemented in the context of a company's CRM process. And, from this
CRM point of reference, any changes in a specified condition (an event)
could be managed as an opportunity to contact a customer with a sales,
service or information message. We see event-based marketing happening
at four levels: Simple, Complex, Real-Time and Sophisticated. Each
successive level represents increased event complexity and an increased
data detail requirement — yet yields ever-higher specificity and
actionable customer insight.
Looking for customers that meet a certain condition
constitutes a Simple event. For example, "Tell me everyone that
purchased a new bike yesterday." These are typically followed up
with a targeted communication to all who meet the criteria. This type of
event is driven by scheduled segmentation schemas and usually run on a
monthly basis, because time is not critical for execution of Simple
Examples of Simple events include product purchases,
age thresholds, birthdays, address changes or purchase thresholds. While
on the surface they appear intuitive, these 'simple events' — when
coupled with relevant communications — can deliver double-digit
returns on marketing activity. Simple events can be automated to occur
at regular intervals, so it is not up to the marketers to remember to
execute their associated campaigns. Simple event-based marketing
benefits the company by improving customer perceptions of your company's
knowledge of them. Companies that use 'Simple' event-based marketing
have reported returns in the ten to twenty per cent range.
However, limitations exist at this level. Simple
events are focused on common condition changes at a point in time, and
typically are not performed with an eye to the context of the overall
relationship for each individual.
Complex events are based on marketing responses to
changes in customer behaviour over time. They are thus a bit more
complicated to create and are often developed by marketing teams that
collaborate with IT people. This activity consists of leveraging the
data you have about your customers to understand behaviour trends over
time. For instance, you want to know whether certain customers' spending
or other activity is increasing or decreasing.
Complex events also require a level of knowledge
about the data — so even though defined by marketing, the execution
might require a user who is technically capable more of what we call a
'power user.' Complex events begin by building formulas — such as
purchase patterns/activity between Date A and Date B — to determine a
score that identifies the general direction of the data — positive or
negative. Complex events like these bring more behavior and interaction
history to the marketer's view of the customer relationship — and can
generate higher returns.
Marketing can build and leverage this through an
"SQL builder" that can be scheduled to either select all
customers that meet a condition or provide a value — positive or
negative — and "score" those customers with the result. This
result can then be used to determine how and when to treat the customer,
based on this value.
Complex events are scheduled and executed based on
the frequency determined by the marketer. This type of event can be
leveraged with other data to determine how to treat the customer.
Therefore, complex events do not have to be tied directly to one
campaign only. Multiple campaign or communication strategies may be
applied to personalize the communication for the several scenarios.
Teradata clients have realized returns of fifteen to twenty-five per
cent on campaigns based on 'complex' events.
Real-Time events occur in two forms or types: these
are session-specific, and non session-specific. First, session-specific
Real-Time events are normally associated with web-based interactions.
For instance, a customer purchases a PC printer, and then, while still
"in session" at the web site, the customer is delivered an
additional offer for paper and ribbons as an up-sell or cross-sell
message. The purchase "event" is driven from a predefined
product profile or bundle that might reflect "items that other
customers have purchased who also purchased this product."
Non session-specific Real-Time events enable the
marketer to leverage the event by combining it with additional
information from the data warehouse, and responding with an enhanced
offer back to the customer. This response could occur on the same
channel, in a different session — or on a different channel. For
example: a complaint e-mail received from a customer could be quickly
transmitted to the outbound call center, allowing immediate remedial
action. Another example: a customer visits a bank web site to check
mortgage rates for refinancing, then quickly after, while interacting at
an ATM, receives a message about attractive financing options — soon
followed by a phone call from a personal banker with a personal mortgage
package offer. Returns on 'Real-Time' event-based marketing are reported
to range from twenty-five to thirty per cent.
When trying to decide which Real-Time event approach
to take (session-specific or non session-specific), consider two key
factors. First is the importance of the time dimension to the data. If
it is less than 24 hours to a purchase, the potential value or
importance needs to be balanced against the 'refresh rate' on the data
warehouse. Second, consider the type, amount, and purpose of the data
and whether it will be used for other purposes in the data warehouse.
Sophisticated events enable marketers to find
carefully calculated opportunities to communicate with individuals. They
are defined and initiated to find patterns — or a specific
circumstance that indicates a significant change in an individual's
situation. These are questions asked daily — scheduled queries of all
of the detail data in your data warehouse that find changes in customer
behaviour over time that represent opportunities to communicate with
that individual. Sophisticated events might include this banking
scenario: "Notify me any time that someone withdraws 180% more than
his average withdrawal amount over the last 12 months."
This type of event is Sophisticated because it
requires the data engine to scan all of the day's withdrawals, calculate
the percentage related to all other withdrawals for each individual for
the last 365 days — and then, if it is 180% of today's action,
identify this as a lead. These events are typically followed up with
highly individualized communications, frequently through a human channel
— sales, service center, or other personal point of contact.
Customer communications based on Sophisticated events
have produced dramatic returns for those companies that use them.
Figures in this category range from forty to sixty per cent.
All four of these event categories, in combination
with each other, can create sustainable competitive advantage that
protects your customer asset base. As you think about the potential
event opportunities in your business, make sure to also build a
technology foundation that will enable you to define, detect and
automate events across all four of these levels. This will help ensure
your marketers can respond with rich relevance to specific customer
interaction — and deliver the rapid payback your executive team
expects on its technology investments.

A closed job is one that is complete, i.e. you have hired someone and/or the position is no longer open. You can access all closed jobs by selecting the Closed option at the bottom right of the table on your Dashboard.
Archiving a job lets you keep it around in case you ever want to go back to it in the future and is intended for those jobs that you think you won't need to revisit but are keeping around for record-keeping purposes or "just-in-case". Again, all jobs with the status Archived can be viewed by clicking the Archived option.
The main difference between the closed and archived jobs is that only archived jobs can be deleted. This is to prevent the accidental removal of jobs from your account. Generally we recommend archiving jobs and deleting them only as part of a regular record management process.

Taken from his web site, 'William Sichel started ultra running in 1994. Unusually he won his debuts in the 100km, 24 Hour, 72 hours, 6 day and 7 day events. Furthermore, he has won international events in the UK (five times), Netherlands, USA (twice), Switzerland, Monaco (twice), Greece and Germany.
He is currently unbeaten in all events longer than 48 hours. William currently holds six ultra distance records at World, British and Scottish level. William also held two ratified Guiness World Records for treadmill running (100 miles and 24 hours) set in 2002.'
I first heard of William when I read an article about him in MyRace magazine. He mentioned that he had suffered with DOMS (Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness) during his first ultra and it sounded very similar to what I experienced in my first whw race. In the article he said he'd been able to overcome it and it hadn't been an issue since.
So I contacted him asking for some help and advice, which he generously gave. We have kept in touch since and we've met up a couple of times.
Anyway on Monday William starts what I think must be his greatest challenge yet. Along with 23 other ultra runners William is taking part in the 1,000mile race in Athens. They have 16 days to complete the distance on a flat 1k course. The last time it was held 7 years ago no-one completed the 1,000miles.
What a challenge! A few years ago I thought a 1,000miles in a year was good going.
If you want to follow his progress you can log onto to William's blog where his team will be posting regular updates.
I would just like to wish him all the best and will be thinking about him as he keeps on running and running and running.
As for me I tried my cough test this morning and I won't be running today! It's getting easier and I'm confident by this time next week (when the race will be 40 mins in) I'll be fine.
Thanks again for those who have taken time to comment and offer advice. It's all appreciated.

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.
As many of you may or may not know, I have three incredible famous women who I idolize! One of those women is Audrey Hepburn. Not only was she a fashion icon of the golden age, but a women who glowed independence, happiness and generosity to the world.
She believed that anything was possible. And because she believed, she made things happen. She made things happen for herself and for other.
All it takes is a little bit of self belief, and you can achieve anything you set your mind to!
Most of all, she believed in being the woman she was meant to be. She believed that women all around the world should be themselves and that is when they can be at their best. She believed that in a man's world, she could conquer her own world and rise above with strength and grace. She had power in her own rights.
Have a happy Monday everyone! And remember to smile 🙂

Balanced Production Operations - How Desirable?
Imagine you are the production manager of a multimillion dollar factory. To avoid waste, all the machines that process materials from raw state to finished state, are designed such that their capacities are balanced. They have sufficient capacity to meet the demand placed on the factory by the market: no more. As a result of this equality of capacities, balanced by market demand, all the machines run at full capacity all the time. Your utilisation, productivity and efficiency charts are any production manager's dream - at a constant 100%.
What is wrong with this picture? The only thing wrong with this picture is that it ignores the implication two vital characteristics of real operations. Any production facility (indeed any organisation at all) has inherent dependencies. This means that what happens in one area or machine or function affects what happens in another and when. Two sources of dependency exist in production. These are structural or sequential dependency (as a result of the fact that one process must occur before another) and resource dependency (one resource is scheduled to do more than one task).
The second fact ignored by the balanced operations design is the reality and pervasiveness of Murphy's Law: uncertainty exists. Negative uncertainty manifests itself in the form of cancelled customer orders, machines downtimes, setups taking longer than scheduled, employee unavailability (due to illness or plain truancy) etc.
What is the impact of the combination of these two realities? Consider a balanced production line capable of producing either of two products, A or B. Let the line consist of four machines w, x, y, z. Assume we are currently producing A and are scheduled to change over to B when the planned quantity of A is done. If machine x develops a problem and it takes one hour to fix, then after resumption of production,
i. some wip would have accumulated in front of x
ii. y and z will initially have nothing to process
iii. this means there is a gap before the required quantity of A is completed
iv. and finally production of B cannot begin on schedule
The disruption caused by temporary unavailability of a resource inevitably leads to irrecoverable delays.
The resources propagate disruptions from one product to the next (unavailability of x caused delays in completing production of A and B). Conversely too, products also propagate disruptions from one resource to the other (assume A is input for producing some other item on some other machines, those machines cannot begin working until A is available).
Because of the two phenomena inherent in operations, balanced capacities are impossible. To operate smoothly, one or more resources will be forced to operate below capacity in order to have some protection against uncertainty.
The lesson here is that to focus on balancing capacities is to guarantee disruptions in delivery of products to your customers. Accumulation of WIP throughout the system is also guaranteed. By Little's Law, this translates to long production lead times.
Attention is better expended on maintaining undisrupted flow to the customer. For this, you must deliberately unbalance your resource capacities.

We've launched a brand new series of podcasts aimed at helping CG animators achieve career success.
Although there are lots of great animation podcasts out there already, none of them focused on practical advice on skills and career development.
So we set out to create a podcast which interviews artists and studios at all levels, from those who have just landed their first job, to those who are at the top of their game. Each person brings a unique perspective which everyone can learn something from.
In the first episode, which we recorded at Vertex Conference, we spoke about how to get the most out of animation festivals when job hunting; giving advice on the do's and don'ts when approaching studio recruitment teams.
The second episode focuses on building a perfect showreel. We spoke to Aardman, The Mill & Blue Zoo to see what they like (and don't like) to see in animators showreels. It features a full hour of jam-packed practical tips on how to build a reel that will appeal to recruiters.

Founded by Suryansh Jalan and Ayush Syal in September 2015 it has Fortune 500 companies and large manufacturers among its clients. FarEye, founded by Kushal Nahata, Gautam Kumar & Gaurav Srivastava in 2015, is a last mile delivery platform, servicing 100+ customers across 5 continents.
"Shippers are losing a lot of time, money and inventory due to unpredicted freight movement," said Kushal Nahata, co-founder & CEO of FarEye. "The Dipper team understood the problem really well and this understanding coupled with a passionate team and a strong product supplemented FarEye's existing strength in supply chain industry technology."
"We are now headed towards digitalising the Middle East's transportation industry and improve it to ensure on-time deliveries with reduced cost of goods movement," he added.
Dipper's propriety ML engine estimates real-time delay in freight movement. This helps shippers with better planning for arrival of goods, reliable transportation reducing inventory and benchmarking SLAs to reduce transportation cost.
The technology allows on-time deliveries, bottleneck mitigation, theft and pilferage reduction, digitised document digitisation with electronic proof of deliveries and dispatch orders, customer satisfaction and optimised operations.
"We are excited to join hands with FarEye, a company that shares our values, vision and desire to digitally enable the logistics & supply chain industry," said Suryansh Jalan, co-founder & CEO of Dipper. "Our joint comprehensive solution will enable shippers to gain end to end visibility of the freight and will give them access to preventive tools for optimizing supply chain management."
According to Frost & Sullivan, in 2016, the size of the logistics sector in the GCC was estimated to be US $107 billion of which the road transportation sector accounted for US $26.9 billion, growing at a conservative rate of 5 per cent year on year.

Akashic Record Reading
The loving healing energy of the Akashic Records is a profound tool for self-exploration and empowerment.
Access the wisdom of your own records keepers who can guide and provide you with insights, direction and more.
Readings are for anyone who wishes to gain a deep understanding for themselves their relationships, life events and purpose.
The Akashic Records are where your soul's journey information is held, some refer to them
metaphorically as a library of divine knowledge or your Book of Life. Previous lifetimes, current life
your purpose, health, relationships, career, finances, opportunities
future options.
They are meant to assist you with whatever challenges you are facing. Literally bringing
"light" to the situation at hand.
When I access your record, you have a direct line to your Masters, Teachers and Loved ones
through me. Because the information comes from them directly it is always respectful,
compassionate and without judgement. You can ask anything you would like more clarity on.
The records of other people can not be accessed by you. If you come to me for a reading, only
the information within the context for your relationship with that person is available.
The same would apply for people that are deceased.
An Akashic Record consultation is very interactive and based on your questions.
Look at your life circumstances or recent events. Choose the areas where you need more clarity.
Notice the people in your life that offer you the greatest challenges or frustration. Ask how
you may look at your circumstances differently.
Here are some suggestions but let your questions come from your heart:
What can I do to deepen my relationships with my (partner, friend, child, parent)?
What actions/steps can I take to change ______?
What is the pain trying to show me?
How can I feel more fulfilled in my job? Is this the right career path for me?
What is my current purpose in this life?
What more do I need to know about ______?
What is my next step on my journey?
What is the significance of the key people in my life?
It is important to know a consultation is based on your questions, the more specific you
questions the more clear you answers will be.
Please have your questions ready prior to the reading. Putting thought into them before hand
will help you attain the answers you seek. Take time to consider what deepest truths would best
serve you to know at this time.
Keep in mind predictive information isn't available. A question like "When will I fall in love?"
is very vague and won't help you get the information you need. You could ask "What is stopping
me from finding true love?"
In general if you begin your question with What, How & Why these produce the answers with the
greatest clarity. If you need some assistance framing a question I will help you.
Have fun this is your opportunity to ask whatever you want :-)
I hold the highest ethics and personal information remains confidential.
Please avoid wearing perfume or cologne as my senses are heightened during a session.
A Reading is generally booked for 1 1/2 hours, see Rates & Services
I would be honoured to open your Records for you!

"We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, with many friends and family."
It's the kind of thing you say after the holiday when anyone asks. My friend, Arnie, used those exact words to me when we met up the morning after the holiday. But then he added something that really got my attention.
"It was mostly family," he said, "except for Granby Sweet."
"Granby was at your Thanksgiving?" I asked, surprised. Granby is not a "people person." He lives alone and likes it. He's not unpleasant or annoying, but he's not the life of the party, either. Most people would say he's more of an acquaintance than a friend.
But he is a joiner. Arnie and I know him from different groups we belong to: hiking, Rotary, library volunteers, bridge groups, that sort of thing.
"Yes, and he ate like he hadn't seen food in a week! We're not good friends, but I asked him what he was doing for Thanksgiving, and he looked sad and said, 'I just hope the Gas and Go Away is open again this year. Maybe I'll be able to buy a piece of hot lamp pizza.' It was just so pathetic. You know, ever since his dog died ..."
I did know. "What time did you sit down for Thanksgiving dinner?" I asked.
"Ours is always at 3 o'clock. Why?"
"Ours is always at 1. And Granby was there."
"You mean last Thanksgiving."
"No, he was there THIS Thanksgiving – just before he went to your house, I guess. And he ate like a horse. I met him last week and asked about his holiday, same as you, and he said he'd probably just eat some Spam out of the can since the taco place wasn't going to be open on Thanksgiving. He told me Spam comes in different flavors now. He thinks one of them might be turkey."
"You're pulling my leg," Arnie said.
"No, I'm pulling out my phone. Hang on a second," I said, dialing. "Bill, it's Jim. Have you run into Granby Sweet recently? Really? No kidding. At your house on Thanksgiving. Let me guess, you eat around 6? Just a wild guess. Yeah, since the dog ... no, you're right, it would have been wrong for him to get Thanksgiving dinner from the sandwich machine at the interstate rest stop. You did the right thing. That's what Thanksgiving is all about, right? Yeah, you too."
"Well," Arnie said, "it's not as if he did anything wrong, really. He never said he wasn't invited anywhere else. But if he ate at your house, mine AND Bill's, where is he putting all that food?"
"I don't know. I had no idea he could be so creative, honestly."
"Yeah, I think better of him now. It's a great idea. I might try it this Christmas," Arnie said. "Why should Helen and I do all the cooking and cleaning and worrying when we could just accept every invitation we get? People would probably even give us leftovers to take home."
Arnie was onto something. Granby certainly was having more fun being a guest than we were being the hosts. I can't tell you how many people asked me what we were doing for Thanksgiving this year. If only I'd said something about "hot lamp pizza" or "a can of Spam," we could have eaten at 10 or 12 different homes in a single day. And most of them within walking distance. Who wants to get in a car and spend half the holiday in a traffic jam?
Today, I'm practicing my sad face so I'll be ready when people start asking what we're doing for Christmas. And I'm rehearsing answers like, "Oh, nothing special; we'll probably just visit Muffin in the pet cemetery," or "We're going to splurge and eat TWO packs of ramen noodles!"
Better yet: "Oh, nothing much. We'll probably turn up the heat and watch the yule log on TV again, and hope one of the kids remembers to call this year."
Be careful. I'm getting too good at this.

MANIC Street Preachers guitarist Nicky Wire and legendary Newport band Dub War will be among the central attractions at this year's Velvet Coalmine festival.
Now in its second year, the music, arts and culture festival in Blackwood runs between September 1 and 6 and will be taking over a host of venues in the town.
With literary, industry, art and children's events taking place during the week in Blackwood, the weekend sees a massive three-day bill at the town's newly refurbished Miner's Institute.
Bands confirmed to appear include recently reformed and much loved Newport four-piece Dub War, massively tipped duo Slaves and legendary US band Meat Puppets, who will be playing their first ever Welsh show.
Elsewhere at Velvet Coalmine, the BAFTA winning filmmaker Kieran Evans will curate a film festival with Manic Street Preachers' Nicky Wire at the town's Maxime Cinema.
Among the events featured at last year's festival were talks on the Manic Street Preachers' Holy Bible album and how the band influenced women, with award-winning writer Rachel Trezise, speaking at the latter.
A Blackwood native, festival director Iain Richards, has been a fan of the band for more than 20 years.
He said: "To have Blackwood's very own Nicky Wire curating the film festival ensures the town stages an event of the highest calibre and puts Velvet Coalmine firmly on the festival map.
"It's an international line-up and Nicky Wire being involved gives it real profile and credibility.
"Velvet Coalmine is also thrilled to have Newport's finest band , Dub War, who really made an impact in the 1990s. It will be one of the highlights of the festival."
A full bill of bands, films and events will be announced in the coming weeks. A three-day main stage pass costs £40 and for more information visit http/:www.velvetcoalmine.com

When it comes to ordering drugs online, most people have already found their reliable pharmacy where they order medications with no prescription required. They are likely to be kind enough to recommend this place to their friends and co-workers, and this is how those pharmacies become crazy popular with thousands of customers from all over the world. This is exactly how it is with Canadian Health&Care Mall. At our pharmacy, we get hundreds of visits every day just because someone recommended us, and that says a lot about our company. These days, you cannot really trust the first online pharmacy you come across, because each one will promise and guarantee the same things you probably want to hear, such as low prices, fast delivery, high quality drugs and confidentiality. The truth is, however, only a handful of those will actually do as promised and make every effort to keep you happy. Even fewer of those pharmacies will offer best quality product you are looking for at a price that does not seem inappropriate for an online drug vendor. In other words, the chances of bitter disappointment are very high when you rely on your luck and choose yourself a pharmacy in just a few minutes.
With Canadian Health&Care Mall, the risk of ever getting disappointed is minimal, because we realize how important peace of mind is to all our customers. We offer that and a lot more to everyone placing their order with us, because we have long-standing business relations with large drug manufactures. How come our prices are so low, you may wonder. The thing is, we get the best deals from our manufacturers without involving any intermediaries. We also purchase in bulk from them, which means they give us nice discounts and special offers. To make sure you are happy as a customer and a patient, we give you the same great stuff lower prices and special offers, pretty much every time you come by to order some drug with no prescription required. No wonder our prices are so low: we keep them low enough for everyone to find them appealing without hurting ourselves as a business, all thanks to our special relations with licensed drug manufacturers.
What about the quality of the drugs you purchase from us? You can be sure the quality is excellent every time, because we keep that aspect under control. We offer high quality generic drugs that are exactly the same as brand name medicine you would purchase at your local drugstore, only they cost cheaper and are available sooner. In fact, even your local drugstore will have a number of non-prescription generic medications, so you should not be spooked away by the notion itself.
At Canadian Health&Care Mall there is always a chance for you to save money, even though you may be purchasing several months worth of the product required. We carry a great selection of pharmaceuticals for any problem and diagnosis you may have. Once you have placed an order with us, there will be no more need for you to wonder about other pharmacies. We are ready to fulfill all your needs in timely fashion and without overcharging you, ever. With our help, you can finally get rid of those symptoms and be in control of your health, which is something not too many people can say for themselves.
If you are still having your doubts, all you need to do is check with numerous testimonials about there. Our customers know they can trust us and keep coming back for any medications they may need, day or night. Just give it a try and you will see there is no better pharmacy out there, in terms of quality, price and quality of the drugs you purchase.

In summary, this study provides the first overview of HIV-related pneumonia care in the early HAART era. For both PCP and CAP, large variations in the patterns of care, but not outcomes, were noted at VA, public, private not-for-profit, and for-profit hospitals. Overall, the quality of PCP care was quite good and showed dramatic improvement []
The only nosocomial outbreak of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis reported in the mid-1990s occurred at a private hospital in Chicago that had low usage rates of respiratory isolation rooms for patients who subsequently received a diagnosis of TB. Physicians at private hospitals should improve their rates of ordering respiratory isolation for high-risk individuals with pulmonary infections. Infection []
In contrast, median durations of hospitalization were longest in the VA system. Among veterans with HIV infection, as well as those who have other medical illnesses, complex medical and social situations are common, and these can contribute to inefficiencies in the coordination of posthospital care in the outpatient setting and often result in extended hospitalizations. []
Our study provides the first data on patterns of care for large numbers of patients with HIV infection and CAP. At the different types of hospital systems, the intensity of CAP care was about 1.5-fold to twofold less than that associated with PCP care with respect to rates of bronchoscopy, ICU use, and early initiation []
Lengths of hospitalization were twice as great in the first decade vs the second decade at VA, public, and private hospitals (ranging, 12 to 20 days vs 6 to 10 days in the more recent era). The intensity of diagnostic evaluation diminished, with bronchoscopy rates ranging from 44 to 66% in the first decade vs []
Thus it would be of interest to determine the presence of synergism of both FSH and PDGF on in vitro preantral and antral follicle growth in comparison with follicles cultured in the presence of either factor alone. In addition, as these studies utilized follicles from rats aged 11 to 15 days, follicle growth in the []
This effect could be attributable to a proliferation of the theca cell layer and/or induction of synthesis and/or release of another factor from theca cells, which subsequently influences growth of neighboring granulosa cells. The current studies were not detailed enough to elucidate the mechanism by which PDGF signaling positively affected preantral follicle growth. Antral follicle []
The three dipeptides were used to determine whether either one of the two PDGF receptors, PDGFRA or PDGFRB, was primarily or solely involved in follicle growth. Similar rates of growth were observed with the addition of each of the recombinant proteins, ranging from 17.60% to 18.32% after 5 days, demonstrating that both receptors are active []
Under the culture conditions used in the current study, preantral follicles grew over 5 days. The percentage increase in size (11.00% 6 1.57%) compares favorably with that observed by McGee et al. who reported a 3.60% increase in diameter of 160-200 im rat preantral follicles over 2 days in serum-free medium (cf. 5.40% 6 0.87% []
Culture conditions were chosen that would support growth of the follicle but not confound or mask the effects of the growth factors under investigation, especially if the effects of these factors are minimal, as might be expected in a system whereby already numerous factors have been demonstrated to contribute towards early follicle growth, as discussed earlier.

There's a lot of rage going on about Stettler human sex pheromones and colognes especially because it's the type of cologne that not only Stettler women can benefit, but as well as men. There have been a lot of methods that the laws or science of the attraction come up with in order to make it easier for Stettler AB men and women alike to attract the person that they want, but so far this has been the latest revolution out there in the market.
But with these Stettler human pheromones in a bottle, one can easily buy it, apply it, and see the magic happening right before your eyes. As people see it, people who benefit from the human pheromones are mostly women because they are the most people who is seen availing of it as well. The purpose of Stettler men buying these human pheromones is that they also give them to their Stettler women to get back a deserving treat from them.
Men who buy these Stettler human pheromones colognes are expecting for a delicious reward in exchange for their hard-earned money, and what better way to spark up the relationship as well? A lot of Alberta women has been treating pheromone perfumes as the best perfumes that they have ever had a chance of using, rightly so.
Human pheromones are natural scents - that play an important role in Stettler sexual attraction and communication these are masses of biological chemicals that are released through human saliva, sweat, and tears. How do these human pheromones work, and do they really explain sexual chemistry and attraction within humans? Our natural scent is sending a message to attract a mate although most of us are unaware we are doing so.
While scientific data does not conclude Stettler pheromones for women as fact, there are many Alberta studies that indicate there may actually be something to it. In fact, it is not so much the existence of Stettler human sex pheromones that is in doubt but more the individual humans ability to detect them. Man-made Stettler pheromones for men have always been used to attract a Alberta partner but any with synthetic pheromones added, will apparently greatly increase the attention you receive. However, the smell of a sweat from a Stettler partner can produce the same response from the opposite sex if detected on a more primal level.
Alberta manufacturers have released Stettler human sex pheromones perfumes and spray products designed to attract Stettler mates though generally these may have more of an influence psychologically than scientifically. Whether we like the idea or not, sweat does seem to play an important parts when it comes to Stettler human sex pheromones and attraction. There are Stettler human sex pheromones by the name of Androstenone which is secreted by every Alberta male when he sweats and this is what Stettler women are unconsciously attracted to. Body odours may seem an unpleasant way to attract Stettler mates but most of us clog and mask the pores secreting the scent when we apply deodorant.
Most men would rather not give their women something that everyone else is already wearing, so they would opt for something sexier and something unique. The pheromones for men are very effective that it will not only double the sexiness of the one wearing it, but it triples it, making the spark into a relationship burn like a raging fire.
What's great about the human sex pheromones for men perfume is that they boost and fire up their confidence to the skies and in turn it makes them not only look sexy, but feel sexy as well, something that most men would see as a turn on.
This is the perfect example of a win-win situation indeed.
Stettler Pheromones for women would guarantee that it's the easiest way to attract Stettler men without having to effort too much, because a simple dab of it will send the men crazy.
If you want to make the smart choice then you should be picky about your choice of Stettler pheromones for women and not just settle for something that everyone else in Alberta is already using. Choose the kind of Stettler pheromones for women that will knock your socks off and will give you the kind of Alberta satisfaction that you have been always aiming for.
Now if you keep asking yourself why on earth would Stettler women want to buy a cologne that has Stettler human sex pheromones, then you better try one for yourself now. Learn how Stettler AB human sex pheromones for men work.
Before choosing, you have to take a look at Stettler testimonials if you're looking at a brand name related to pheromone bottle of spray. They are available in a few Stettler sites advertising these kinds of goods. Check out the concerned how do Stettler people make sure scent you are interested in receiving does incorporate Stettler pheromones.

A few weeks ago a buddy of mine was bragging about how he could watch full porn dvd's you can watch online. He isn't the most reliable guy as such I took it like a grain of salt. It wasn't until I got bored last night and figured I'd take a look and see if he was on the level.
It took no more than a few minutes to realize that I've been missing out. Not was he on the money he was 100% on the level. These movies are some of the sexiest that I've ever had the pleasure of watching. The girls are as dreamy as you could want and they seem to enjoy doing it in front of the camera.
I don't want you guys to miss out as such I'm telling you right now that the time to see DVD action is finally here. I hope that you've got what it takes to keep up, needless to say there's no shortage of babes and pussy to keep you satisfied!

Why is Gas Servicing important?
All landlords are responsible for the safety of their tenants and legally obliged, under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, to ensure that all gas appliances, fittings, and chimneys/flues provided are safe. All gas appliances must be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction and Gas Safety Checks must be carried out annually on each appliance and flue to ensure these are safe to use. These must be checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
It is important to ensure these checks and tests are carried out as unsafe gas appliances can produce carbon monoxide (CO) and put you at risk of CO poisoning. Through attending properties and checking appliances on an annual basis we can ensure that appliances are safe to operate and that these are running in the most efficient way.
What is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that has no smell or taste. Breathing it in can make you unwell, and it can kill if you're exposed to high levels. Household appliances, such as gas fires, boilers, central heating systems, water heaters, cookers and open fires which use gas, oil, coal and wood may be possible sources of carbon monoxide gas.
Due to the legality of Gas Checks we acknowledge the importance of ensuring we are compliant on all of our contracts. A variety of procedures are implemented, dependant on each client, to ensure we are able to access all properties in order to complete the required checks on an annual basis. Our servicing programmes vary from 9 to 12 month cycles, ensuring that we are given enough time to complete these before the due date in the event if any access issues.
Smith & Byford use a lettering process to inform residents of planned appointments several weeks in advance to organise these and enabling residents to make arrangements and ensure someone is in the property, or alternatively to re-arrange the appointment for a time more convenient to them.
We provide consistently high compliancy rates across all 55,000 properties that we cover.
Smith & Byford offer a range of flexible appointments and time slots to ensure we accommodate resident's individual needs. In the event an appointment is deemed inconvenient we encourage residents to contact us in order to rearrange this for a more suitable appointment.
If Smith & Byford are able to gain access into a property on the first appointment and the resident completes our customer satisfaction survey we will enter the resident into a raffle with the opportunity to win a prize of high street vouchers.

Punters with leading online bookmaker sportsbetting believe that should Labor win tomorrow's federal election, they will have a new leader by the time Australia next goes to the polls.
However, it's a different story with the Coalition, with Tony Abbott favoured to keep the top job for at least a full term should the Coalition win tomorrow.
"Should Labor win the election, on the whole punters don't think Julia Gillard will be at the helm in three years time," said sportsbetting's Haydn Lane.
"On the other hand, if the Coalition win, Tony Abbott will be the savior and it's hard to see his position coming under serious threat."
In overall election betting, Labor continues to drift on the back of strong recent support for the Coalition. Labor is now out to $1.35, with the Coalition at $3.15.
All markets courtesy of sportsbetting
IF Labor win the election, will Julia Gillard be Labor leader at the 2013 federal election?
$1.47 No
$2.50 Yes
(Bets refunded if Labor lose the 2010 Federal Election)
IF the Coalition win the election, will Tony Abbott be Coalition leader at the 2013 federal election?

First of all Happy 9th Birthday to our MR Eden who told us the other day he is so tired of being 8!!!! I must remind him of this when he is groaning at 30 lol.
Sadly because of a leaking ceiling etc we made the decision to remove the wood heater causing all the problems, I know we will miss it dreadfully and it will take time to get used to the change,we have other heating but will eventually put gas in, I am not sure about elsewhere but getting wood is almost impossible and buying it so expensive,so we are winding down ready for retirement in a couple of years..
Sadly now it is gone but it opened the room up so much..we will miss her.
This lead to the rearranging of furniture and the other decision to buy another desk as ours was actually a small hall table and had little knobs that the boss kept hitting his knees on and not so nice words lol so we saw this beauty and had to have her, she is mahogany and was on sale very reasonable so I had to rob my stash of savings,I will get it put back as someone straight away bought the wood fire(must have smelt us removing it) and a birthday coming up so I will get some money for that and put it back .I have not put bits in all the little places yet as Lilly is coming to stay and I thought she would enjoy that and when Livvy comes soon she can do the other side.
The other thing I did was to try out the dehydrator that we got for nothing...and it was great,we did tomatoes,mushrooms and onions,we put the tomatoes in a good oil and the mushroom left to be rehydrated in winter, we are going to do garlic next for garlic flakes,I think this will be well used.

Item #101464
Night Watch (c.2009)from Kholui by K. and S. Komogorovy
5.50" x 5.00" x 1.00"(13.97 x 12.70 x 2.54 cm)
Gallery Price: $ 1050.00
Internet Price: $ 995.00
None currently available
With menacing looking creatures all around them, a trio of festively dressed young lads play music, dance with hares, and play games near the beautiful woman. They are having a ball, and not paying attention to any of the dangers lurking around them, above and below the ground. Yet many of the creatures are drowsy or sleeping, and there is a horseman in full armor to protect them from the rest. Or is he just a benevolent night phantom; it is hard to tell. The creatures are indeed something to look at, ranging from a pack of resting wolves, to dragons from a fantastical era long since past, to comical heads stuffed in the ground. There is even a strange looking bird's head right under where the maiden stands. (Who said the fairy tale Ruslan and Ludmila has the only interesting looking head in lacquer box art?) The stage for all the characters and creatures is quite atmospheric with the ruins of an old structure directly behind them and the tall golden trees rising high into the sky. The artists have embellished most objects in the scene with very minute brush strokes of radiant gold leaf (something the computer monitor does not show very well). The horseman has a silvery phosphorescent color that has been added to his body and the leaf shaped ornamentation extending from his neck. The sides and bottom of the box are traditional, and the sides have a gold ornament, as well. The box is made of high quality papier mache and sits on four very small rounded legs. It is signed with the name of the artist, village and title. A magnificent example of the creative work that these artists do.

A Husband And Wife Combine Tastes And Talents
Soul, jazz and a vibe inspired by the beats of the island of Guadelupe all merge into a sound that's gentle but rich on a new release recommended by the Tell Me More team. It's called Rise Above, and combines the talents of saxophone player Jacques Schwarz-Bart and singer Stephanie McKay, who are also a married couple.
Hear The Music
Hear two performances recorded live on Tell Me More, including an improvised piece by Jacques-Schwarz-Bart
Saxophone Improv
The two met at a concert at which they were both performing. As they describe to Tell Me More guest host Allison Keyes, their personal partnership has always been a part of their musical one. Schwarz-Bart says the idea for "Rainbow," a track from the new album, came to him while he was crossing the Brooklyn Bridge on his way to meet McKay. "I wanted it to be poetic," he says, "but not just a love song."
Both musicians led past lives far from their current ones. Schwarz-Bart was a government official in France, where he once lived, while McKay was a dancer. "I always had a gift for singing," says McKay, who comes from a family of singers. "It was a natural gift that I ignored because I struggled so hard to be a dancer." Her life changed when an injury put her dance career on hold — she started seeking out auditions as a singer, and soon enough found she had a new career on her hands.
Rise Above is a cultural collaboration as well as a personal one: It blends McKay's background in soul and funk with the Caribbean rhythms of Schwarz-Bart's native Guadalupe. McKay says the singing in an a way that suited both styles was an adjustment — but not a huge one. "The music has a very blues-based foundation, and it's very soulful," she says. "It was another side to my artistry that I had to discover."

I came across this article about Google and "…the truth about internet search." It talks about how Google suggests negative questions as you are typing on the search box. The author narrates how Google suggested the question "are jews evil" when she had typed "are jews" ONLY. She yielded a similar result with "are women" (Google suggested "evil") and "are muslims" [bad]. When she clicked on the "are jews [evil]" suggestion, she found a list of websites confirming that Jews were indeed evil and/or hateful. For women, the top search result–and a featured one at that–stated that "every woman has some degree of prostitute in her." Shocked, the author says,
I feel like I've fallen down a wormhole, entered some parallel universe where black is white, and good is bad. Though later, I think that perhaps what I've actually done is scraped the topsoil off the surface of 2016 and found one of the underground springs that has been quietly nurturing it. It's been there all the time, of course. Just a few keystrokes away… on our laptops, our tablets, our phones. This isn't a secret Nazi cell lurking in the shadows. It's hiding in plain sight.
I tried replicating the experiment to see if my results will be the same and was confused (but relieved) when the "evil" suggestion was nowhere to be found. I typed the entire phrase "are jews evil" in the search box and found a follow up article about how Google altered its search autocomplete to remove the negative suggestions. The article reported that this was not the first time Google has come under fire for churning out racist or otherwise negative suggestions/results to search queries.
While Google has since responded favorably by removing those negative suggestions, my worry now is what about other similar instances? For example, I typed in, "are filipin" and got the following suggestions:
The third suggestion caught my eye. Seeing that it started with "are filipinas," I typed "a" next and got the following suggestions:
The second and fourth suggested queries made my blood boil. Is this what the internet thought about us women from the Philippines? I clicked on the second and saw various sites about how Filipinas are easy. I didn't dare click on any of the links in the results list because I didn't want to add to their traffic.
I've always been a staunch advocate of Google, but this whole issue with Google search has shaken me* at first. After I've calmed down, though, I realized that Google is not infallible. Yes, it is powerful, but because it is still a machine, it does not mean that it is without errors. It is left to the responsible adults, then, to make sure the kids will be able to discern if what they see in front of them is reliable, correct, and good.
Despite discovering this chink in Google's formidable armor, I've decided that, yes, I will still use Google. Google is racist, real, reliable, and right, but not always.
*I was tempted to say "has me shookt" in the spirit of millennialism (you know, because my students are saying this all the time now, and I'm still technically a millennial), but as my youngest sister would say, "Ew! You're old!" *sigh*
