"I know that there is no one so righteous that they have not wronged another, financially or physically, through deed or speech. This pains my heart within me, because wrongs between humans and their fellow are not atoned by any holiday, until the wronged one is appeased."
"Thus the "reward" for forgiving others is not God's forgiveness for wrongs done to others, but rather help in obtaining forgiveness from the other person."
How do we forgive a parent who has mentally abused a child or young adult using parental alienation strategies or a person who has aided this parent?
Aiding a parent includes those who have intentionally looked the other way, knowing the child or young adult was being ripped from the loving arms of their parent as the sacred parent/child bond was being broken. Worse, many of those who looked the other way received financial or other benefits at the expense of harming the psychological and physical health of this innocent child or young adult and loving parent.
This is very evil so how can we forgive?
How do we know this once evil person will not change back and become evil again?
Alienating parents are liars and manipulators as are those who aid them; they are smooth operators. Remember those who aid alienating parents are smooth operators too. Like politicians, often try to sell forgiveness; have angel eyes and a cold heart. Be cautious and see what they DO consistently.

Harvard Professor Dr Louise Ryan, newly appointed Chief of Mathematical and Information Sciences at the CSIRO, will use her new role to champion increased funding for the mathematical sciences in Australia, which she says are essential for the development of computer-based research across the board.
"In recent years, funding has been cut to support the quantitative sciences. And I think it's important to have a voice and say 'hey, this is important'," she said. "This is critical, it's fundamental, it underlies every other field of science and you can't cut corners by cutting funding for mathematical research and training."
A former Chair of Biostatistics at the prestigious Harvard University in Boston, Dr. Ryan will now oversee mathematical and statistical scientists at the CSIRO working on applications ranging from agriculture, light metal production, and environmental modelling to genetics, supercomputing, financial risk and transport logistics.
Her division provides mathematical and statistical modelling to support all kinds of important national projects, including the ambitious "Square Kilometre Array", a massive radio telescope that aims to discover more about the origins of the universe, widely believed to have been brought about by the "Big Bang". According to Dr. Ryan, this is a project "which involves incredible amounts of data-crunching and information synthesis and processing".
Other parts of her division focus on mathematical techniques in the area of computational fluid dynamics, a branch of science involving the assessment of water-related risks that works by using computers to simulate what would happen if, for example, a dam were to break or an unusually large wave were to strike one of the country's off-shore oil rigs.
"So you need lots of very sophisticated mathematical, quantitative techniques to characterise these situations and then you need the very sophisticated computing platforms to be able to run these simulations and see what happens under these varying scenarios.
"We also have other people who are looking at complex genomics data trying to understand which parts of the millions of locations on the human genome might be the ones that make people susceptible to getting, say, colon cancer or certain kinds of disease."
Dr. Ryan says her division provides the mathematical firepower required to solve all of these problems: "That's what my whole division is about, and my job is to provide the scientific leadership for the division as a whole. Also, I see my job as really trying to elevate knowledge about and appreciation of the importance for the mathematical and statistical sciences in Australia.
"If you don't have those really strong underpinnings in the mathematical, statistical and quantitative sciences, you can't get to the applied answers that you need."
According to Dr. Ryan, dedicating more money to the development of advanced computing technology is one of the key ways Australia can try to keep up with the demands of modern science.
"Science is often just inundated with massive amounts of information. So in order to be able to synthesize that information -- to pull it all together and start to see the patterns and figure out what it's really saying, you need very advanced computational techniques.
"The ability to transmit and gather information is just changing at an exponential rate. And so our statistical and mathematical fields have to evolve to be able to handle that data and that's where that very advanced computing comes in."
Ryan believes the challenge for Australia is to maintain a cutting-edge professional environment so as to encourage young, talented Australian scientists to stay and work here rather than seek out greener pastures overseas. No stranger to the so-called "brain-drain" herself, having spent 29 years in the United States, Ryan says the continued development of these sophisticated computing technologies is essential if Australia wants to keep pace with the rest of the developed world.
"If Australia doesn't have top world-class level statisticians, mathematicians and computer scientists we're going to be left behind in terms of the scientific arena; it's absolutely essential for us to be a world-class scientific nation."
Based in North Ryde, Sydney, Dr Ryan took up her new role with the CSIRO a few weeks ago. She will remain on the Harvard faculty as an Adjunct Professor of Biostatistics.

Everyone wants to look attractive and feel their best. Cosmetics are one way that we enhance our looks and our features. Before buying cosmetics it is essential, however, to understand the potential dangers of makeup and to shop for products that will nurture and beautify without harming your skin or your body. Women do not have to compromise on their health to achieve beauty in the 21st century mink false lashes manufacturer .
Unfortunately, cosmetics are not well regulated in the American market. While the FDA classifies cosmetics and personal care products, they don't regulate them. Cosmetic manufacturers are not allowed to use color additives and a select few ingredients are prohibited; beyond these few regulations, virtually anything goes. In order to remove a product from the market, the FDA must prove in a court of law that it is harmful; and in most cases, the FDA does not have the time or money necessary to wage a court battle against large cosmetics companies. This does not mean that such lawsuits are frivolous. In fact, mink false lashes manufacturer mink false lashes manufacturer a 1998 study in U.S. News and World Report concluded that "We look good, we smell good, and we have just exposed ourselves to 200 different chemicals a day, through personal care products."
The question, of course, is what can we, the consumers, do about the potential dangers of makeup? Here are some solutions.
Get rid of old makeup: Most of us keep our makeup for a long time and don't necessarily replenish it as often as we should. One item, old mascara, can be extremely harmful. The formaldehyde in mascara helps to prevent the growth of bacteria. Over time, however, the mascara mink false lashes manufacturer mink false lashes manufacturer may stop producing formaldehyde and the bacteria may multiply exponentially. It is, therefore recommended to replace mascara every few months. To protect yourself from the bacteria that can grow on other makeup products, pay attention to the dates written on the products and replace them before their expiration date.
Be careful about irritations and allergies: Two of the common potential dangers of makeup are skin irritations and allergies. Before using a product, read the ingredients and make sure that you don't have any known allergies to the ingredients. Try the product out on a small area of your skin and see how you react before using it in large quantities. Make sure to wash your face well before going to sleep to get rid of all makeup and to prevent build up. Subscribe to a health magazine that reports potential health mink false lashes manufacturermink false lashes manufacturer dangers in cosmetics, and make sure that your products are risk free.
Be particularly careful with certain products: Certain products have more potential dangers than others. Nail polishes, for instance, often have a hazardous ingredient known as Parabens which is used as a preservative. Parabens were recently discovered in breast cancer tissue. Hair gels, anti-perspirants and aftershaves also include harmful products at times. The thickening agents Propylene Glycol and Polyethylene Glycol, which are commonly found in these products, are also found in brake fluids, anti-freeze solutions and oven cleaners. Another danger is with hair dyes. Many studies by the FDA and the American Cancer Society show that people who use hair dyes regularly mink false lashes manufacturermink false lashes manufacturer are four times as likely to develop cancer as those who don't.
Buy Organic and Natural Products: The best way to ensure that you avoid the potential dangers in makeup is to do your research and to buy your cosmetics from reputable organic companies. Organic and all natural products allow you to rest assured that you aren't using anything with harmful substances. They tend to be gentler on your skin, easier on your mink false lashes manufacturer body, and less likely to cause allergic reactions or adverse health affects.
You deserve to look beautiful – but you also deserve to stay healthy. Take care of yourself and protect yourself from the potential dangers of makeup. You'll be glad that you did.

So now that you have arrived to The Heartland USA you probably want to know more about who I am and what this site represents. My name is Tim Harper and I started blogging about my travels and those of others a number of years ago after catching the travel bug while I was in college. As a photography enthusiast, I started taking pictures of the many amazing sights and people that I saw along the way and set up this website as a way to document my adventures and share them with others, mostly my friends who always seemed keen to find out more about what I had been up to.
To my surprise, I found that a lot of people wanted to hear about where I go and what I do there, so my little blog has grown enormously over the last few years. I make my living from this website and through selling my photographs to companies like iStock and Shutterstock. This has been my journey so far.
My First Trip
While I was in college I realized that I had learned so much about many of the great landmarks that dot the American landscape, but I hadn't seen practically any of them in person. I didn't have the opportunity to travel much when I was a boy and I decided to make up for lost time as soon as I left college and had enough money to go and explore.
I had always been fascinated by the skill and ingenuity that went into the building and creation of Mount Rushmore, so I picked it out as my first destination of choice. I found that the thrill of traveling extended as much to the journey and the people you meet along the way as it does to the amazing things you see and do. I returned with some amazing photos and shared them with my friends, who seemed really enthusiastic about my adventures and photos. This ignited the spark that has driven me to travel ever since.
My Favorite Places
My website is called The Heartland USA because I love to explore the country of my birth and find out more about the people living in it and the vast cultural differences you can experience just by crossing a few state borders. Over the last few years I have hit all of the major landmarks, such as the Grand Canyon and the Colorado Rockies, but my absolute favorite experience is still traveling to Washington D.C. and seeing all of the famous monuments to America's liberty that are erected there.
That's not to say I haven't gone further afield. I've recently started exploring more of Europe and have been able to tick London, Prague and Berlin off my bucket list. There is so much more to see and discover, so perhaps it's fair to say that my favorite place is always wherever I happen to be in the world right now.
Why I Love Photography
While travel became a passion later on in life, photography has been with me for as long as I remember. My parents gave me a small Polaroid camera for my fifth birthday and I was off to the races, taking photos of everything that caught my eye.
I didn't know it at the time, but I was training skills that would allow me to make an amazing living later on down the line. I just loved taking pictures, and this prompted me to experiment with angles, lighting and, as I started to earn a little money, equipment to get the best shots possible.
A photograph preserves a moment in time and with the advent of digital technology I was able to take pictures that would last forever. My favorite photos are the ones that conjure up memories of the great experiences I have enjoyed in my life. Hopefully, these pictures can also inspire people to try something new, just as they have for many of the friends are the reason why I set up this site in the first place. That brings me to…
My Goal For The Heartland USA
My main goal for The Heartland USA is the same as it was when I first created the site. I want to create a place where I can share the pictures I have taken and talk about the amazing experiences that I have enjoyed since I started traveling.
However, I have added a few more goals to that list since I started out. Once my audience started to grow I realized that there were a lot of people out there who were just like me but didn't know how to get started. This led to me writing a small eBook titled "How It All Began" that offered a little more information about how this all started for me, in addition to a few pieces of advice for those who might want to follow in my footsteps.
With the help of a friend I also began monetizing this site. I began to earn a living by optimizing my site for search engines and selling advertising space to companies who I felt had something to offer to the audience I had built. Through this work my photos began to spread online, leading to me taking the initiative and selling many of them to picture stock websites, like Shutterstock.
So my goals have evolved over the years. I now want to make a living doing what I love, while also offering opportunities to others. Most importantly, I want to share my adventures with you and find out more about your adventures in life. I hope you enjoy The Heartland USA and come away from your visit with something that you can use in your own life.

Let's start at the end and work our way back. When you die, what happens to the energy that gave you life? Nobody knows.
Let's strip ourselves down to the basic.
First layer – Our bodies, which are made up of our brain, skin, hair, arms, legs and all the other body parts and organs.
Next layer – Our lives, which is our situation. The people around us – family, friends and everyone else that knows us.
Next layer – Our possessions – Our glasses, clothes, car and everything else we own.
These layers make up our identity. Everything that comes in contact with our, is part of our identity, especially our thoughts. We exist in our present form (enter your name) b/c we recognize ourselves. This is reinforced when other people recognize us. It's so real that it's the only thing we can believe.
Ever wonder what the world is like without you? Sure, a few people will remember you. If you're in the history books, your memory lives a little longer. Most of us disappear after three or four generations. I, personally, do not know any of my parents' grandparents. Not even their names.
The strongest proof that we exist is being alive. I just don't buy that when we die, nothing is left. I believe the thing that gave us life continues. It's not something that has a beginning or an end, which is why we can't comprehend it.
You may say that I feel this way b/c I'm afraid to die. I don't want to die today, but I do not fear it. We die for a lot of reasons. I hope mine is because I'm old and after I've lived my life.

The zingers belonged to Obama, as Romney took the higher road
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
President Obama defended his positions at Monday night's debate with a passion, that may have bordered on anger. Governor Romney let him off the hook on Libya and the changing story of our murdered ambassador. Romney's strong point was when he attacked the president on his apology tour and perceived weakness by our adversaries. The president might have won in a close debate but Romney passed the commander in chief test. He was knowledgeable on the issues, seemed calm and presidential. Now we are back to what matters to most voters, the economy. This is Romney's strength area.
-- Ed Rollins, former Sr. Adviser to President Reagan; Fox News contributor
Monday night's debate could become known as "The Big Hug." Gov. Romney tried to embrace President Obama's policies on many of the major foreign policy questions of the day in an attempt to block the president from painting him as reckless and extreme. Even though Obama managed to keep Romney at arms length, the subtle message from Romney tonight, that foreign policy shouldn't be a deciding issue in this election, may have been the one that broke through the most.
-- Joe Trippi, former Howard Dean campaign manager; Fox News contributor
Three straight debates where Gov. Mitt Romney proves to the American people he is prepared to be the next president of the United States. He made an affirmative case for the "peace through strength" doctrine that led to the end of the Cold War and the emergence of the US as the worlds sole superpower. That is in stark contrast to an incoherent doctrine put forth by President Obama that is unraveling before our eyes across the Arab world. He also effectively connected our economic security and national debt to our national security and ability to manage the global challenges we face. The zingers belonged to President Obama, as Governor Romney took the higher road.
-- Tony Sayegh, Republican political consultant
President Obama had done his debate preparation this time. I wish there would be more debates as he is gets better with each one. He was able to make some very funny and direct statements. For instance when Gov. Romeny made statements about the lack of Navy power the President shot back with a comment about having less horses and bayonets. Governor Romeny did
not respond to President Obama's charge on his investment in a Chinese company that was doing business with Iran. The president showed himself to be presidential. Governor Romeny came off as someone who could occupy the Oval Office but if Americans can decide who they feel safest with, I think it is going to be President Obama.
-- Ellen Ratner, Washington Bureau Chief, Talk Radio News Service; Fox News contributor
President Obama won the debate on knowledge of the issues; Romney had no clear alternative world vision. On substance, Romney more often than not agreed with Obama. Romney did have a better closing statement. Neither made any glaring errors. Thus, the overall race will remain a virtual tie.
-- John LeBoutillier, Fox News contributor; former Republican New York Republican Congressman
Romney and Obama were about equal tonight - O had stronger first half, Romney never answered question about increasing defense spending while saying national debt is foreign policy issue; Romney had a stronger second half, especially with his closer that emphasized a bipartisan approach and his willingness to say "I agree with the president" when it was merited.
President Obama used words like reckless and "all over the place" - and there is certainly some truth about the latter and Romney (his Republican opponents pointed that out all the time), but I don't think anything Romney said, or has said, brands him as "reckless"
Both candidates seemed silly at times arguing about domestic issues during a foreign policy debate.
The bottom line is that there were few if any minds changed tonight. This race was and is a dead heat.
Going forward here' my advice for President Obama:
Take down your negative ads, go back to positive your themes of 2004 and '08 - a "purple" America can work together again and that is the kind of second term president you can and will be -- creating a new center where solutions can be found.
My advice for Governor Romney is similar. Governor, your closer tonight about bringing America together works in foreign policy and in domestic policy - and please remind America of the moderate governor you were in Massachusetts working with Democrats.
-- Lanny Davis, former White House Special Counsel to President Clinton; attorney, commentator, Fox News contributor
Was that a foreign policy debate? You had to listen closely to hear the foreign policy and national security issues make cameos in a debate otherwise about the U.S. economy. Iran, Al Qaeda, Libya, Russia, China, Latin America all got some attention. But both President Obama and Governor Romney saw it in their interest to navigate carefully the controversial issues of war and peace and then steer toward domestic matters. Obama tried to pound his message of ever-more government spending (euphemism: "investment") to "nation-build here at home,"while Romney spoke often of Obama's disastrous economy and his own pro-growth policies to get job creation going. And because that ended up being the playing field, Romney won. Obama is presiding over a weakening economy and a foreign policy in collapse, neither of which he can defend. So he came off as petulant and defensive, while Romney remained calm, responsible, thoughtful, and solutions-oriented. Obama was trying to bait Romney into repeated fights, a trap into which he did not fall. Romney denied Obama and the left an opening to paint him as a "warmonger," which was the last remaining smear in their arsenal. While Obama was small and petty, Romney was Reaganesque: strong, principled, and a true Happy Warrior. And with that, he won...the debate, and maybe the election.
-- Monica Crowley, radio talk show host; Fox News contributor
Neither candidate managed to deliver a knockout punch in Monday night's debate. President Obama appeared to edge past Gov. Romney on substance, but Romney proved himself to be competent on foreign policy. Romney's challenge on Monday night was to continue to demonstrate that he is presidential and on equal footing with President Obama and he did just that. With two weeks to go this is a tied race and the electorate is increasingly interested in what Romney has to say. Monday night's debate will do nothing to change that and things are trending Romney's way. The net result of the third and final debate is that even though Obama may have edged Romney on foreign policy points, the governor came across as presidential and, therefore, an increasingly viable alternative to President Obama.
-- Doug Schoen, Democratic strategist, former Bill Clinton pollster; author; Fox News contributor

You may have had the experience of feeling like you can't move during a dream, but if this has happened while you're in the process of falling asleep or waking up, this experience has a name: sleep paralysis. During sleep paralysis, your mind is conscious but you are unable to move your body. You may also think you see or hear things that aren't really there or experience the sensation of choking or someone sitting on your chest. It can be a frightening experience, but understanding what's behind it can make it feel less stressful. Learn what causes this REM phenomenon and how you can lower the chances of it happening to you.
What It Feels Like
As you fall asleep, your body slowly relaxes and becomes less responsive to physical signals from your brain. During sleep paralysis, your body begins to go through the relaxation process but your mind is awake enough to notice that is no longer controlling your ability to move or speak kann nicht schlafen.
Sleep paralysis can also occur when you are in the process of waking up. In this case, your mind regains consciousness before your REM sleep cycle is finished. During REM sleep, your body is relaxed and your muscles are "turned off" off so that you don't physically act out your vivid dreams. Waking up before the last stage of REM sleep is complete can cause you to hyperventilate and hallucinate, as well as make it seem as though you are unable to move your body. Fortunately, sleep paralysis is temporary and typically lasts just a few seconds.
Who Gets It
Sleep paralysis is most common in people with narcolepsy, but it can happen to those without it as well. It affects both men and women and is more likely to happen to teenagers or young adults. It is often genetic, and it is most common in those with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or panic disorder. Lack of sleep or a shifting sleep schedule can also cause sleep paralysis.
Paralysis Prevention
Although there is no formal treatment for sleep paralysis, you can take certain steps to help prevent it. Make sure you're getting enough sleep each night and stick to a consistent sleep routine. Avoid sleeping on your back, which has been linked to the condition. And talk with your doctor if you are experiencing any underlying mood issues that could contribute to your situation. Remember, although the experience can be scary, sleep paralysis is not dangerous and usually lasts only a few seconds.

Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy
Power healing through Pulsed Magnetic Field therapy
Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy
The therapeutic effect of the application of pulsed magnetic field therapy (PMFT) has at last received world-wide recognition, although for a long time many practitioners saw it only as an aid to fracture union. Research has now shown that it has the potential to improve a wide range of conditions, although few understood just how it achieved its effectiveness. Extensive research has since been carried out to determine the mechanism by which this occurs. For the clinician presented with a wide range of clinical problems, PMFT is an invaluable aid to the clinic.
Resolution of Soft Tissue Injuries
The application of PMFT to damaged cells accelerates the re-establishment of normal potentials (Sansaverino 1980 1) increasing the rate of healing and reducing swelling. This can help to disperse bruising also. A magnetic field pulsed at 5Hz with a base frequency of 50Hz can have the same effect as an ice pack in that it causes vasoconstriction.

Well set out - Equally applicable to a small business as it would be to a larger one.
The content is exactly what we needed to get started. We lean heavily on the templates to get most of the key points for each section in place and can focus on those points that are most important to us.
The sample documents are very rich in their scope. Our attorneys have reviewed our edits and can find no fault with what is presented.
Full coverage of the subject, clearly written, three support questions I had were answered promptly and accurately
Complete set of docs, removes loads of boring work, good structure, easy buy in to approach
Each document is not an island, they all interconnect which is something I've struggled with when using other template packs. Well written and generally happy with the structure of the docs. Really appreciate the excel tools.
It was like having your hand held through the whole confusing and frustrating process of getting GDPR compliant, making it much more bearable.
Easy to follow, complete, logical setup and approach, and the templates are very easy to customize with company branding.
The toolkit was perfect in delivering the correct process to our business, preventing thousands spent on consultants delivering the same toolkit. It also played a massive part in speeding up our compliance in GDPR.
The toolkit was easy to use and came with all the instructions needed to confidently complete and comply with GDPR law.
The structure of the documents was very well thought out. The language used was clear and easy to understand.
The tool is excellent and saved me a lot of work in writing documents, designing forms and spread sheets, etc. It was also very useful in tracking where I was in relation to my compliance.
Starting the compliance process with the CertiKit Toolkit helped us more than we even expected. While we expected document templates and such, it quickly became the implementation process. Each template became an action item for meetings/discussions on how our business works within the regulation. Thanks!
Your product is well thought out, the writing style is perfect. These templates have been very easy to implement.
I am very pleased to have found you and would like to say thanks for the toolkit, it made my life so much easier.
Thank you for the kit, I don't know where I would have started without it!
Your documentation was an absolute God send. I understand GDPR completely, I did before I purchased your documentation, but the work creating the documents was hanging over me like an anvil. Your documentation made everything an absolute breeze.
My organisation recommends CertiKit documentation toolkits to all our clients and I would gladly recommend them personally.
Just so you know, we got ISO/IEC 27001-2013 certified in December 2015 (last year) thanks to this toolkit. The best part is that the toolkit had 99% of the text for all documents and some actually were generic enough, just to the point and made me feel as if it was tailored purposely for our environment. You guys do put in a lot of work into your documents and it is always almost ready.
Great job guys, your documents gave us the framework to start from and we have found the editing process to be much easier with a starting point. You guys don't charge enough for the amount of time we've saved. I'd say 3 months.
We are a tech start-up, therefore ISO27001 requires no reverse engineering, and the templates gave us the framework we needed. The templates saved 5 months' work and allowed us to become conversant in the environment of ISO.
This was the most comprehensive tool kit we found. The main selling point was the fact that they are laid out in a clear logical order, precisely following the order of the ISO 27001:2013 standard.
It really saved us a lot of time and we would not have made the deadline and budget without the documents. Thank you!
Thank you - you made it easy.
Short, concise, seem to link well together, fit our small organisation and make it achievable to reach certification. Removes some of the mystery of the ISO process.
The templates provide an excellent framework on which to build your ISMS. They are easily tailored to fit your organisation and cover all the key areas of the standard.
The templates have a good explanation on how each is used, and customising it to my company is very easy. Also it is easy to integrate into documentation we already have.
We're a small company (170 employees) and we don't have the time to "re-create the wheel", nor the budget to hire a consultant. This toolkit gives us the recipe and the ingredients to put together a business continuity system.
The toolkit gives us a great framework that saves time and ensures an easy compliant audit.
The documents saved time, money and provided the business with what was required. The set continues to be a useful resource providing a good base to commence new and/ or improved processes.
Good quality up to date product from someone who knows what he's talking about.
Great library of documents that helped tremendously in the development of our respective systems. The organization and hierarchy of the documents were easy to follow.
The toolkits are very clear and easy to use and probably the best examples out there for these standards. Easy to adapt or add details to, to reflect your own processes and procedures.
The documents are excellent in covering a vast number of key areas in terms of ISO. I particularly like the layout and the comprehensive nature of the documents provided.
The documents are perfect. The money was well spent.
Keep pitching what you do.... It works and wins when comparing to perceived competition. Almost a personal touch springs to mind. Personally like the product, and the way it's delivered.
I found the toolkit templates easily map back to the standard. The introductory information for each document was helpful in preparing for our external audit.
The toolkit is well laid out, clearly written and easy to adapt. I like the fact that it is compliant to the standard as a start point. This is difficult to achieve considering the diversity of organisations it is covering.
Compared to competing toolkits, your V9 document structure (title page, history, ToC, content organization) was very good. The provided "Introduction" of each was useful (I have moved those out of the core documents and into a more comprehensive manual) for the general audience vs security staff. The inclusion of references to 27017 and 27018 were appreciated. You provided more "ISMS-C" oriented artefacts than competitors.
I really love the introductions and guidance in each document. This makes it so easy to use for my team and the uninitiated to quality management.
The example documents provided were of high quality, so the decision to purchase the document pack in full was made easy. I looked around, but couldn't find anything that had the same level of quality

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves Hair at Premiere
His and Hers Hair Inspiration For NYE, From the McConaugheys
Fine, if you are Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey, you don't need too much help looking totally gorgeous together. But for the rest of us who want to look picture-perfect for a photo on New Year's Eve, we're still stealing their his-and-hers hair tips from Patrick Melville, who styled them both for the recent NYC premiere of The Wolf of Wall Street.
Patrick Melville of New York City's Patrick Melville Salon created a sexy look of cascading waves for Camila. Using a medium-size barrel curling iron, he curled the hair in a spiral direction from her roots to create open curls and plenty of texture. To finish the look and add high shine, he used Schwarzkopf Bonacure Oil Miracle Finishing Treatment ($19). No curling iron needed for Matthew, but Melville styled and separated his hair with Schwarzkopf Rough Rubber Paste ($10) for extra definition. So, texture for two – now where is that camera?

- A traditional story about an elder woman shedding her skin to become young again. Her still pretty young daughter does not accept her as her mother any more, so that the woman puts on the old skin again. In the end the woman explains that now the girl not having agreed on the shedding of old skin by human beings, these will be mortal.
- Story about two sisters who refuse to marry their appropriate groom. When going to a feast, they fall in love with a young man who takes them to his home, a cave. At night, the younger finds out that he is in fact a ghost, not a human being and that they are thus in great danger. They flee from him back home to their parents who explain that one has to agree on marrying one's appropriate partner in order to live well.

The greatest science fiction is that which predicts the future. For decades science fiction has played with the idea of brain control and how it might be possible to turn a person in to a robot. Now science fiction is becoming reality as scientists have discovered how to "take over" a brain after years of research.
Neuroscience, the study of brain function, has grown immensely since the MRI machine become widely used in the 1990's. Now another field of brain study has branched off of neuroscience and grown into its own tree; optogenetics.
Optogenetics is the study of how specific cells in the brain work with the intent to be able to take over the independent function of these cells.
CNN defines optogenetics more specifically:
"Optogenetics involves inserting fiber-optics tools into an animal's brain, in order to control the target neurons using pulses of light as a trigger."
As scary as this may initially sound, there may be medical benefits to optogenetics. In recent studies scientists used optogenetics to look at Parkinson's cells in animals. Parkinson's disease is an illness that disrupts information processing by the brain. By using optogenetics scientists were able to study the circuitry of the disease instead of the symptoms. This new insight into Parkinson's disease may lead to more effective treatments and possibly a cure.
The most famous case of Parkinson's disease is probably Michael J. Fox, who had to quit acting for a number of years to get the disease under control. Recently it has been reported that boxer Manny Pacquiao may have Parkinson's disease as well.
Here's a video thoroughly explaining how optogenetics works to clear up any confusion and hopefully answer any further questions:
What do you think, are the medical benefits of optogenetics exciting or is the idea of brain control too inherently scary and dangerous?

By Chris Twum
Interesting stories, emotional true life accomplishment, the joy of sharing warm surprises with family, excellent recipes of both exotic and local dishes: Yes! Guess Who is Coming to Diner is back.
Guess W ho is coming for Diner -is back on the screens with season four of the TV reality cook show which featured families, beautiful surprises and excellent recipes from seasoned chefs that can easily be replicated by all at home.
The show which returns to the screens on Sundays at 2:30PM on GH-One, gained for itself a respectable following when it premiered a number of years ago. The programme manages to keep viewers entertained right from the start of the programme to finish.
Guess Who is coming for Diner is a GH-One initiative with sponsorship from Alvaro, is in many ways different from all the other cook shows that are aired on TV. The first major difference is that the programme is shot on location at the homes of families.
The presenter, chef and crew travel to homes of individuals who have been set up for a surprise meal by a loved one and the chef sets about preparing a mouth watering meal for that special person to be surprised.
After the meal is prepared, the person who is has been surprised is invited to join the table with their family and friends and while they are eating, in walks a surprise guest who is supposed to be someone famous or someone the surprised person has been dying to meet. The guest joins in the meal among some small talk.

Add some nuts for flavour and crunch or some broken up cookie bits for sweetness. The chocolate pretzel snack will fix that chocolate craving while the popcorn provides a fun, light snack. Some of these snacks are no-bake, so kids can help out and they're super quick to make.

This week, Arizona 360 heard from the new chief patrol agent of Border Patrol's Tucson Sector. Roy Villareal took his post about a month ago to oversee the sector's 3,900 agents. He spoke to Lorraine Rivera about challenges with the ongoing influx of families seeking asylum from Central America, which he referred to as both a humanitarian and border security crisis.
"That vulnerable demographic of family units and unaccompanied children is what is causing our system to grind to a halt. Our facilities, the detention, the laws were all designed principally for single adults," Villareal said. "Until there is some sort of legislative change we're going to be in this quagmire in that we can't adjust quickly enough to address the flow."
During his 30 years with the agency, Villareal helped launch the Border Safety Initiative, which includes BORSTAR, the Border Patrol Search, Trauma and Rescue Team. The team provides first aid and performs rescues for immigrants crossing the desert. Deputy Commander Kelly Kirby said he believes the Border Patrol is prepared for the possibility that agents will likely encounter more Central American migrants in the desert during the summer months.
"As a team, we know that the majority of these people are coming from a tropic or subtropic environment into this arid environment, which increases the risk. They've also traveled a long way to get here," Kirby said. "I think this sector is prepared. It's got measures in place as well. We've handled the influx back when we had the crisis of Guatemalan children coming up from Central America when we handled it back four, five years ago."

Bradford MP George Galloway was hospitalised with a broken jaw and rib after being attacked in Notting Hill on 29 August.
The evidence suggests that Galloway was attacked because of his positions on and comments he has made about Israel-Palestine.
The man accused of attacking Galloway, Neil Masterson, has said in the press that he was bothered by Galloway's anti-semitism. Galloway's politics on Israel are very bad; Masterson seems to be a right winger, a defender of the Israeli government and its oppression of the Palestinians.
Politicians should not be physically attacked for expressing their opinions. No one should be. (Defending ourselves, our communities, etc, against the likes of fascists is a different matter.) Socialists must militantly defend freedom of expression and debate.
We have attacked Galloway's noxious politics, including on Israel-Palestine, and his role on the left many times over two decades. All the more reason to condemn what looks like a right-wing attack on his freedom of speech now.
It is reasonable to call
It is reasonable to call Galloway an anti-semite, but it doesn't follow that everyone who does it does so "reasonably", ie from a left-wing or even minimally consistent anti-racist point of view.
The evidence seems to suggest that the attacker is a right-winger and an anti-Palestinian chauvinist. That is relevant information, but information you seem determined to ignore.
The AWL has fought for decades against the left promoting George Galloway, but he is not a fascist like Nick Griffin. You could draw many comparisons between Stalinism and fascism, but there are important differences in terms of their supporters here. If right-wingers attacked a Morning Star seller we would defend the Stalinists against physical attack while condemning and fighting them politically.

First things first: Choosing a type of project
Choosing a project can be difficult, start by thinking of a topic you are passionate about and that you think may be fun and interesting to investigate. You might also be asking yourself: What is the difference between a science and technology project? Here are the difference between the 4 different project types
Science projects seek answers to questions. Science projects will generally run experiments to gather data to prove or disprove a hypothesis (what you think will happen).
They require to follow scientific methods and written up using set guidelines.
Technology projects solve problems. Technology projects are those that develop a product, device or process. The development of this product/device or process seeks to serve a purpose, a human need or problem.
These projects involve following a set technology process and write up.
Research projects can be in about either science or technology, but where an experiment or a product is not possible or feasible. The project is discussed in depth through research and/or observations. There is no specific structure to follow and can be displayed/type of writing style can be however you like.
These will not be eligible for the Cawthron Science and Technology prizes, but will be looked at as a category of their own. It is open to art inspired by science or technology and can be displayed using any type of media. Or it can be a product made out of any type of material. Let your creativity run wild!

THE PRAISE OF WISDOMThis heading is included in the Gk text.
1Wisdom praises herself,
and tells of her glory in the midst of her people.
2In the assembly of the Most High she opens her mouth,
and in the presence of his hosts she tells of her glory:
3'I came forth from the mouth of the Most High,
and covered the earth like a mist.
4I dwelt in the highest heavens,
and my throne was in a pillar of cloud.
5Alone I compassed the vault of heaven
and traversed the depths of the abyss.
6Over waves of the sea, over all the earth,
and over every people and nation I have held sway.24.6 Other ancient authorities read I have acquired a possession
7Among all these I sought a resting-place;
in whose territory should I abide?
8'Then the Creator of all things gave me a command,
and my Creator chose the place for my tent.
He said, "Make your dwelling in Jacob,
and in Israel receive your inheritance."
9Before the ages, in the beginning, he created me,
and for all the ages I shall not cease to be.
10In the holy tent I ministered before him,
and so I was established in Zion.
11Thus in the beloved city he gave me a resting-place,
and in Jerusalem was my domain.
12I took root in an honoured people,
in the portion of the Lord, his heritage.
13'I grew tall like a cedar in Lebanon,
and like a cypress on the heights of Hermon.
14I grew tall like a palm tree in En-gedi,24.14 Other ancient authorities read on the beaches
and like rose-bushes in Jericho;
like a fair olive tree in the field,
and like a plane tree beside water24.14 Other ancient authorities omit beside water I grew tall.
15Like cassia and camel's thorn I gave forth perfume,
and like choice myrrh I spread my fragrance,
like galbanum, onycha, and stacte,
and like the odour of incense in the tent.
16Like a terebinth I spread out my branches,
and my branches are glorious and graceful.
17Like the vine I bud forth delights,
and my blossoms become glorious and abundant fruit.24.17 Other ancient authorities add as verse 18, I am the mother of beautiful love, of fear, of knowledge, and of holy hope; being eternal, I am given to all my children, to those who are named by him.
19'Come to me, you who desire me,
and eat your fill of my fruits.
20For the memory of me is sweeter than honey,
and the possession of me sweeter than the honeycomb.
21Those who eat of me will hunger for more,
and those who drink of me will thirst for more.
22Whoever obeys me will not be put to shame,
and those who work with me will not sin.'
Wisdom and the Law
23All this is the book of the covenant of the Most High God,
the law that Moses commanded us
as an inheritance for the congregations of Jacob.24.23 Other ancient authorities add as verse 24, 'Do not cease to be strong in the Lord, cling to him so that he may strengthen you; the Lord Almighty alone is God, and besides him there is no saviour.'
25It overflows, like the Pishon, with wisdom,
and like the Tigris at the time of the first fruits.
26It runs over, like the Euphrates, with understanding,
and like the Jordan at harvest time.
27It pours forth instruction like the Nile,24.27 Syr: Gk It makes instruction shine forth like light
like the Gihon at the time of vintage.
28The first man did not know wisdom24.28 Gk her fully,
nor will the last one fathom her.
29For her thoughts are more abundant than the sea,
and her counsel deeper than the great abyss.
30As for me, I was like a canal from a river,
like a water channel into a garden.
31I said, 'I will water my garden
and drench my flower-beds.'
And lo, my canal became a river,
and my river a sea.
32I will again make instruction shine forth like the dawn,
and I will make it clear from far away.
33I will again pour out teaching like prophecy,
and leave it to all future generations.
34Observe that I have not laboured for myself alone,
but for all who seek wisdom.24.34 Gk her

Radio Metal conducted an interview with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine at the French edition of the Sonisphere festival on July 9 in Amnville. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
Radio Metal: Your new album is going to be called "TH1RT3EN". Have you had any bad luck during the making of the album? Or, on the contrary, do you think this will bring you good luck?
Mustaine: It's been very good luck. We did this record in in record time I don't want to sound silly but we've never done a record this quickly. Well, when we did "Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?" it was fairly quick, but things were different back then, you know, I had my whole life to write a record. For this record, I'd had to start from scratch with no songs, basically, when we started it. We had some song ideas and we had a couple of tracks that we had worked on before but nothing that had ever been finished.
Radio Metal: You recently stated in an interview that the album sounds unlike anything you've ever done because it sounds really super-modern, before adding that it sounds like really old classic BLACK SABBATH with a little bit of a modern edge of QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE. Those aren't really what we can call super-modern bands, especially BLACK SABBATH. Can you further explain what you meant?
Mustaine: Yeah, that's a really bad quote that's gotten out there. What I said was that it's got some really super modern sounds, because that's Johnny's (K, producer) style. The sounds themselves are like old SABBATH! Right? Now, that doesn't mean that the songs are like old SABBATH songs. The sound is. Some of the guitars. But when you put the guitars all together, you put the bass in there, and the drums, and you add the vocals, it doesn't sound the same at all. And what I had said about QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, I was talking about guitar sounds. I don't know that band at all! I know one song. (He sings the riff from "No One Knows")
Radio Metal: Yeah, that's "No One Knows".
Mustaine: Yes, that's it! I mean, God bless those guys, they don't need my publicity at all to help them, I know they're super successful and they're evidently a great band, but the quote has been really mistaken.
Radio Metal: The last couple albums were in the classic thrash metal MEGADETH sound and, according to some of your statements, it sounds like you wanted to do something different this time
Mustaine: No. We're following our roots right now. We're right where we want to be, the last record was where we wanted to be. This record is where we want to be right now, getting back to what we do. You know, when "Risk" was finished, I told Marty [Friedman, then-MEGADETH guitarist] "We have to go back to our roots," and he didn't want to do that. He wanted to play more pop music, so we parted ways. That's a big statement for a guy to make a guitar playing change because he does not want to continue down a particular direction. So from "Risk" to here, each record has gotten a little bit more like what's deep down inside me. You know, when you learn all that stuff like how to write a particular song, something happens to you, when you write another song, that's still in there. Depending on who's taught you, how successful it is, sometimes you struggle with not wanting to listen to that because you know if you do those kind of things, it would probably make the songs more successful but would the fans like it? You know? So we kind of just followed our hearts again, because when we played music for ourselves, that's when I felt the best about it on stage. And I can tell, the songs we played on stage, if I don't really feel like "Oh my God, I love this song, I love playing this song, this is the greatest song ever" you can usually tell, because the audience kind of reacts that way, too.
Radio Metal: Dave Ellefson was quoted saying that it was funny that 20 years ago you guys came off "Rust In Peace" and then went in and made "Countdown To Extinction" and that to him this is what this new album feels like. Is this your feeling, too?
Mustaine: Well, I've got to tell you, to me it's got the most potential of anything we've done since then because "Countdown" was our biggest record ever, and it's nearing triple-platinum in America, which is a big thing. And I've got to tell you, this record I'm really proud of it. All the other records, you want to say "Hey, it's a great record, it's this, it's that". I haven't been just trying to color my answers, I've just been saying "This is what it is, you've got to hear it for yourself." I love it! I think it's great. I think it's the best thing I've done in a long time. But I mean, you've got to be the judge. And you've already heard songs, man, you've heard "Sudden Death". You've heard "Never Dead", the track on that video game. You've heard well, I don't know if you've heard "Public Enemy" yet, but I know you've heard these songs, you know?!
You can read the entire interview at Radio Metal.

That is because these kinds of well-intentioned smaller reforms create a vicious cycle:
That's true on so many levels.
The lesson has been that, unless you have pretty much everyone covered, insurance reforms won't work. "What many people don't understand is there is a very high level of interdependence among the parts. The legislation that is in front of Congress now is incremental reform," says Princeton University public affairs professor Paul Starr. "You just can't go down much further than this."
- Healthy people, knowing they won't be discriminated against if they get sick, decide to go without coverage.
- Insurance companies, which are footing the medical bills for a lot of sick people without offseting premiums from healthy ones, raise their rates.
- Even more healthy people decide to drop their insurance.
- With an even sicker pool of people, proportionately, insurance companies raise their rates more ...

Can Glass Tables Be Used Outside?
Glass tables are generally safe to use in outdoor environments, as long as you choose the proper type of glass and edging. The weight of the glass must be able to withstand wind and rain, while the edges need to be smooth to prevent injuries or breakage.
Thick and Smooth
The safest approach to using glass tables outside is to purchase ones made specifically for patio or garden spaces. This typically means that the glass is the correct thickness for the construction of the table and that the edges are either beveled or finished to a high polish. If the table top is full glass without a frame, the glass must be tempered and have at thickness of at least 3/8 or 1/2 inch. If you are using glass as a topper to another solid table surface, the thickness can be a minimum of 1/4 inch. Glass that is embedded into the table or wrapped with a metal frame will come pre-cut and measured for outdoor use.

Busyness. No typo here. Not to be confused with "business". The root here is "busy". Is it possible to be too busy? I know I don't want to be lazy or slothful. So, how do you know if you are too busy? I thought it best to go straight to the origin of meaning: the dictionary. Let's see what it has to say:
actively doing something; full of activity or work; full of people or things; engaged in action (occupied)
Am I the only one who struggles with this? I think not! Why is it that we feel somehow we are a good Mom, wife, you fill in the _______ if we are constantly busy? As I've journaled previously, I'm the Queen of signing up for something; typically some good thing (in my eyes anyway) only to realize sometime soon after that I've over-committed myself. Again.
As I've matured over the years, I've come to realize that my 'measuring stick' for "too much" may vary greatly from your measuring stick. There are many women who run circles around me doing and accomplishing all kinds of things. Many are good, even great things. Does this make them better than me? Does this mean I'm a giant sloth?
I came to the conclusion that rather than trying to figure out what is the right amount of busy for me, or to compare myself to another, I need to go straight to the One who created me. God knows. He knows all about my personality, my temperament and what I can and cannot handle. His plan for my life and how I can best be utilized in this particular season may be different from what I think, good as my intentions may be. Perhaps He has someone else in mind for a place of service that I signed myself up for, keeping another from it.
I must realize that before I busy up my schedule, my primary ministry is my relationship with Him, then my husband, then my child. Why not consult with Him first regarding what He would have me do, saving me undo anxiety, frustration and busyness that He never intended for my life. After all, He created me and He knows best!
Now, stop comparing yourself to others and keep your eyes fixed on The Only Measuring Stick, Jesus Christ.

Laptop speakers generally need all the sound-quality help they can get. Thankfully Dolby Laboratories is lending some audio technologies to Acer's Aspire notebooks, which will now feature the Dolby Home Theater suite offering "advanced home theater audio features and premium surround sound experiences."
Acer Aspire notebooks featuring Dolby Home Theater will be available worldwide and will support all of the technologies in the suite. This includes Dolby Digital for 5.1-discrete channels of digital surround sound, Dolby Digital Live, which converts any audio signal from the PC into Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II for simulated surround sound experience from any stereo audio source, Dolby Headphone, which does 5.1 for headphones and last, but probably most important, Dolby Virtual Speaker, which delivers a surround-sound experience from a 5.1-channel soundtrack to stereo speakers.
Not huge news, but kinda exciting. The last Acer Aspire I tested had some weak speakers and they could've used any bit of help to make them sound beefier.
