Miss Universe Cordaid Fund
Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines on November 8, 2013 creating a major disaster, affecting more than 12 million people and displacing more than 4 million people. The Miss Universe Organization and Dutch development agency, Cordaid, partnered to create a global fund that will raise awareness and money for regions of the Philippines that have been affected by Typhoon Yolanda. The two international organizations have called attention to the needs of projects that are essential for the country's recovery long after the emergency relief period has ended. The main goal of this partnership is to assist vulnerable communities affected by typhoon Haiyan to increase their resilience to future disaster. The projects discern two, partly overlapping, phases: early recovery and recovery leading to resiliency. Finally people will live in safer, disaster resilient houses, will have access to safe drinking water and use latrines, will take care of managing their natural environment and will have persified livelihood and marketing options. Communities are better able to cope with natural hazards and reduce impacts of a disaster by applying resilient community action plans. Cordaid will remain committed for the years to come to help and ensure that communities be rebuilt with an eye to self- reliance. Cordaid is currently stationed in 36 developing countries working on more than 3,000 projects, ranging from urban housing to womens health and childrens education.

My day job is running a consulting company that delivers digital marketing and social media in plain English. (Fun fact: Spencer was formerly what he describes as a "very minor rock star" as the drummer and booking manager for the rock band, Myopic Son).
My most memorable caffeine was when I was about 19 and was really into weight lifting. It was a time when supplements were largely seen as being "ok" and I tried something called "Ultimate Orange," which was probably a combination of caffeine and ephedrine and who knows what else. I'm sure it would be banned for athletes today! I wasn't a coffee drinker at the time and I remember trying that, feeling my synapses firing and thinking, "So this is what all the buzz on stimulants is about!"
My current caffeine of choice is something dark roast, served black. I'm not a coffee connoisseur!
My favorite place for caffeine is the Barriques on Cayuga St. in Middleton. I like the size and the layout and the location is extremely accessible.
The person I'd love to share a cup of caffeine with is Earl Nightingale. He was an early radio announcer and one of the first people to promote non-music recorded audio—including audio books. He has what I think is one of the best definitions of success, "The progressive realization of a worthy idea." I love the idea that success is something to be determined by an individual and not influenced by external factors. It would be great to sit down with Earl and hear the genesis of that definition.
World problem that could be solved with the right amount of caffeine: Think about your average coffee shop vs. your average bar. A bar is a place where people are prone to group think, and are competing and trying to impress each other. It's a place where, at some point, a fight is almost inevitable. Contrast that with a coffee shop where people often meet one-on-one and where they come to understand, hear each other out and collaborate. What if the world could be more like a coffee shop?

A fragile new life may come with many problems, especially if those problems developed in the womb. Birth defects affect a significant section of newborns all across the world. It is estimated that in the United States, about 3 % of all babies are born with some form of birth defect or the other. While some of these may be about physical appearances like extra toes or a cleft lip, there are also those which affect the baby internally without having any outward symptoms. Let's look at some common facts about birth defects.
Some details about birth defects
Congenital disabilities are an all-encompassing term used to include problems with newborns that may affect their.
- Internal organs
- Appearance
- Mental development
- Physical development
Birth defects usually occur within the first trimester, i.e., the first three months of the pregnancy. This is the time when the organs are still forming within the womb. The severity of the birth defects also varies widely with severe ones often resulting in death. In fact, about 20 percent of new born deaths are attributed to birth defects that affect the internal functioning of the body.
While much research has gone into this field and certain risk factors are known, it isn't exactly what the exact causes are for certain birth defects to occur. Some of the more well-known causes for birth defects are as follows.
- Infections that the expecting motheracquires during or before pregnancy which affects the development of the child.
- Exposure to certain harmful chemicals ormedications during or before pregnancy.
- where defects or health problems are passed down from parent to child.
- Certain lifestyle choices such as smokingexcessive drinking or drug use before and during pregnancy.
- A combination of the multiple factors mentioned above.
- Mothers above the age of 35 are also at a higher risk of giving birth to babies with birth defects.
- Mothers who have preexisting medical conditions such as a history of diabetes are also at a higher risk.
Types of birth defects and common example
- Structural
- Developmental or functional
When a body part is missing or is malformed in a newborn, it is categorized as a structural birth defect.
Some common examples of structural birth defects are:
Spina bifida
- This is where a baby's spine is malformed, or the spinal cord hasn't developed properly.
- Heart defects such as when the heart valves, walls or blood vessels have an abnormality after birth.
Club foot
- This is a condition where the feet point inwards which requires surgical intervention to correct in order for the baby to walk.
- Cleft palate or lip is one of the most common birth defects in newborns where the lip or the roof of the mouth is split, which also requires surgical intervention.
Some of the more common developmental of functional birth defects include.
Sickle Cell disease
- A Disorder where the Red blood cells are misshapen.
Cystic fibrosis
- A disorder which damages the digestive system and the lungs.
Down syndrome
- A disorder where the mental and physical development is delayed.
It is thus an imperative for parents to get screened for any risks even before conception and to minimize risks to the baby through proper prenatal care.

Have you ever experienced a fragrance that was simply heavenly? I mean, one that made you take a deep breath, close your eyes and drift off into a distant space of pleasure?
Well, I have-on several occasions actually. But right now, there is only one fragrance that offers me this sensational experience.
And that's Kai.
I mentioned Kai to you a few days ago in part 1 of my KARMA by Erwin Gomez review. The moment I walked into the spa I could smell it, the subtle scent of gardenia wrapped in white exotics.
So relaxing. So necessary.
Kai is faint, hardly overpowering, but still strong enough to leave a lasting impression. And fortunately for me, that impression resides in my own home.
See, many people are unaware of the fact that I moved into a new house a couple of months ago. Located in the LeDroit Park area of Washington, DC, the home is a total fixer-upper and hardly worth inviting company over. Every week, a new contractor, mover or cable person visits me to do their job in helping me renovate the place. The entire ordeal is completely exhausting.
Luckily every night, I'm able to relax in my bed and envelope myself in linens that have bathed in Kai fine linen wash and sprayed with Kai Room linen spray. The crisp, fresh smell helps me quickly drift off into a land of dreams, never to be interrupted.

CPE Monitor™
The Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) have created a new reporting system for continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits called CPE Monitor™. The changes will affect how Canadian pharmacists report and track professional development activities that are based in the United States, and obtain CEU certificates for submission to their Canadian provincial pharmacy regulatory body as required.
The ACPE is, in part, the US equivalent to the Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy (CCCEP). CPE Monitor™ was developed by ACPE and NABP as an electronic system of CPE reporting and tracking for American pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Canadian pharmacy professionals will also be required to use this online system in order to print off certificates of completion for educational programs from ACPE-accredited providers
As a first step, Canadian pharmacy professionals need to create an NABP e-profile where you can access CPE Monitor™. To create an NABP e-profile, a pharmacist or pharmacy technician not licensed in the US will need to complete the Non-United States Pharmacist Waiver Form as part of their profile.
The CPE Monitor™ system will direct electronic data from ACPE-accredited providers to ACPE and then to NABP, ensuring that CPE credit is officially verified by the providers. Once NABP receives this information, pharmacist and pharmacy technicians can log in to their NABP profile to access information about their CPE activities.
Printed copies of the certificates generated by CPE Monitor™ will serve as your record of professional development (PD) activities should the College request information from you during a PD Audit or other information request.

Remember Your Sins
I'm being so encouraged, and at the same time having my heart thoroughly challenged, as I've been reading Joe Thorn's Note to Self: The Discipline of Preaching to Yourself.
For those unfamiliar with the book, Joe begins by simply explaining what he means by "preaching to yourself", and then he includes 48 examples of what it might look like to preach to yourself; or as they are in the book, 48 actual notes to self.
If you're anything like me then I'd suggest getting a copy. Not only is Note To Self a great way to be reminded of the Gospel (I confess that the Gospel is the doctrine I struggle the most to believe), Joe's notes would be terrific in helping you pray the Gospel too.
Note To Self can be read cover-to-cover, and is also ideal to be read note by note as a daily devotional.
As an example of Joe's writing, and to encourage you in the Gospel this Tuesday, here's a note written in response to the words of Psalm 32:5.
I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. — PSALM 32:5
Dear Self,
Yes, part of your confidence before God is that he has forgiven you of your sins and remembers them no more. But sometimes you have a hard time forgetting all that you have done wrong. Of course, God doesn't actually forget your sins. He remains omniscient, knowing everything all the time. Saying God does not remember your sins is a way of saying he will not hold them against you as judge. He has thoroughly forgiven you in Jesus. You need to hear that. Those who believe in Jesus are truly forgiven. Yet, recalling your sins can lead to a perverted relationship between guilt and pride, which is a very popular method for dealing with the feeling of guilt. It works like this.
You are aware of the sins you have committed and consequently feel guilt—paralyzing guilt that says you are unworthy of even talking to God. Seriously, some of the things you have done are pretty messed up. As you consider your sins and feel their weight, you decide to embrace the guilt and even heap it on. Then, only after you have felt sufficiently bad about all that you have been and done do you begin to feel better about it all. It's as if amassing feelings of guilt becomes a perverted kind of penance in which you pay for your transgression by making yourself feel bad—as if your guilt is a means of getting clean. It may be hard to see it, but you can probably remember times when you felt as if you could not approach God because of your sin. So you waited, heaped on the guilt, and after you felt bad enough and sorry enough, you began to try to draw near to God as if you had somehow become more acceptable.
Look, the memory of your sins is no cause to beat yourself up and wallow in guilt. Instead, it should lead you to rejoice in the redemption you have in Jesus. So you will (and should) remember your sins but not be plagued by them. As a Christian you must see them in light of the cross. You need to remember your sins for what they are—lawlessness that stemmed from a heart that hated God. It wasn't just what you did; it was what you were. And in remembering these sins, you hold fast to Jesus. This remembrance does not encourage you to shrink back from God but to draw near, seeking him because of the hope of the gospel. When you remember your sins, you learn humility, love Jesus, and make much of the gospel.
How do you respond when you remember your sin? It says a lot about how much you grasp the good news of the Gospel.
My prayer this Tuesday is, "Lord, help me to 'learn humility, love Jesus, and make much of the gospel.'"

Guest editorial
Greece and the worries of the European financiers dominate the news headlines these days. To be sure, the problems are serious for many nations, including the United States.
But something else is equally certain: While anxious bankers and many world leaders are pacing, there are small businesses that can t get into motion fast enough. They see opportunity in the need for change. They are collecting needed funds from family members, from under couch cushions, from credit cards and from convinced neighbors.
Opportunity time is now
For small business, this instant is always a time of opportunity. That spirit is our own country best hope for creating millions of new jobs. Financial watchers tell us that big companies are hoarding reserves of cash. As for hiring, they are more likely to shed employees than create new businesses needing them.
That is not the case with small business. Small businesses are a restless lot. By and large, a small business with a dollar in a reserve fund is thinking about 15 ways to make that dollar put legs under the ideas that are ready to take form.
Anyone who has competed against a small business for work has had to overcome the advantage of a small business lean cost structure. Small business owners know the rhythms of their businesses at close range. Miracles come from grit. Few can turn to legislators and government officials for actions that will soften a tax climate or mandate use of a product line.
Rarely is an opportunity an ordinary one. Prove its worth in a new realm of activity and the small business can progress to the next category, and the next. The company can grow.
Opening doors to new capabilities
So can the country. When the doors of a small business open, they open on a place that is endlessly plotting the addition of new capabilities. Often, the plans hinge on the ability to employ people. The numbers may be small at first: Just one or two significant people whose talents will bring into being something that will require many additional workers as the company becomes established in a new service.
Carol Roth, writing for the Huffington Post, mused after President Barack Obama Congressional address that the 14 million jobless could become employed if half the country small businesses were able to hire one person. Looking in that direction for the solution seems wise.
There another powerful reason for small businesses to act as the U.S. economy game-changer. They don t want to be small businesses at all. They want to be the next generation of big businesses.

Land Rover Discovery Sport is rated out of 5 by 715.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DiscoDanSport from The most capable 3-row SUV I am a big fan of the UTILITY portion of the SUV classification. Moving an entire family through North Plains snow and sleet storms with confidence is one of Land Rover's pedigrees. Accommodating up to 7 passengers at an economical 31 MPG (observed best) is a new standard set by the Discovery Sport. Better handling than most passenger sedans with ample turbo boost and many modern options solidify the premium classification for this best in class SUV offering. I really enjoy the compact foot print and auto-dip mirrors when parking in the city and the sure footed four-mode all wheel drive in the country. Land Rover re-defines the SUV. There is no equal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by shanalbr from Love my Disco! I special ordered my 2017 Discovery Sport and it arrived about a month ago. I eagerly anticipated its arrival for months and so far, I have loved it. It looks great, it drives great, and it is the perfect size for me. You can easily fit 4 people comfortably, put down the back seats for extra cargo room, and plenty of leg room for all. I splurged on a few upgrades and I am glad I did. I added the panoramic roof, upgrade in screen size, 16 speakers, and the climate control package with vented seats in the front. The upgrades make me excited to get in the car and they make for a more comfortable ride. At this point I don't have any negatives about the car.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ross from Loving our new Discovery Sport We recently picked up a 2017 Discovery Sport. Living in Western NY we were attracted by the Discovery's capabilities in snow and ice. The first week we had the SUV a storm hit and we had a chance to drive in typical winter conditions. The Discovery Sport made easy work of the snow covered roads and the heated windscreen came in useful too. The remote starter was also invaluable with temps in the teens. Overall it was a great test and the Discovery Sport did not dissappoint. In subsequent weeks we have come to enjoy the smooth ride, spacious interior and unique styling. We expect to have much enjoyment in the years to come.

Rated 4 out of 5 by steph357 from Great SUV! This is a beautiful SUV both inside and out. It is a perfect mid-size SUV that's not too big I am uncomfortable driving it, but also fits my husband (who is 6'6" tall) comfortably. There are three things that kept me from giving it a 5 star rating: 1) the most significant factor is that the automatic shifting between first and second gears is very rough 2) i wish there was an option for an audible warning on the blind spot monitoring system and 3) the smartphone integration and similar technology could use some improvement compared with other luxury SUVs. Overall, I am happy with the purchase and love driving my Discovery Sport.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Heather Morice from I am dissapointed with the car. Unfortunately, there is an intermittent rattle coming from the left passenger side of the car, which persists over rough road conditions or at higher speeds. The service team has taken the car in to fix this twice, for about two and a half weeks, after taking ownership but the issue persists. The service and follow-up from the staff at the dealership has been sub par and has required extensive chasing on behalf of my husband and me. Additionally, the technology often freezes preventing use of the radio/ Sirius XM and the bluetooth/phone. This is not the experience we anticipated with a brand new Land Rover of the showroom floor and we are dissapointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TarHeel50 from Love this SUV! This is the most comfortable and versatile SUV that I've personally owned. I love all the amazing amenities offered while still maintaining the off road capabilities. Some of my favorite amenities include heated windshield, heated/cooled seats, heated steering wheel, push button start, paddle shift capability, all wheel drive with push button controls for specific conditions, navigation system, panoramic roof, etc, etc, etc. The technology is easy to learn and use but take time to read the manual. There are a LOT of hidden features that are very handy!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by DTutt from All Purpose Luxury Both On and Off the Road The Land Rover Discovery Sport is the perfect vehicle for first time Land Rover buyers. I have been incredibly satisfied with the capabilities and amenities of the car. The car easily cruises down paved roads and powers through snow with little effort. The Discovery Sport is a perfect, versatile, and beautifully designed SUV for any and all adventurers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lou1 from Outstanding Car Overall very impressed with our DS and all of its capabilities and still learning new ones. Very fond of the high technology in our DS and how it communicates with us at different levels. Security is the way I can best describe the feeling we get whilst driving. Capable and confortable in any situation. Great looks that attracts a lot of attention. In short the whole package.

Made in the Shade With the Best Bargains in Sunglasses
Picture it. No Corey Hart singing/whining about wearing his sunglasses at night. No bearded dudes in ZZ Top advising us to go get some cheap sunglasses. No cruising cops in mirrored specs; no cool lifeguards in hipper-than-thou Ray Bans. But that's just how it was until Sam Foster came along with that first pair of Foster Grants. He started selling them from an Atlantic City Woolworth store in 1929, and by 1930, sunglasses were all the rage.
Fast forward 80 years and the choices for shades become, shall we say, eye-boggling. You can even get sunglasses with a built in audio player. (And why shouldn't ears get equal glam time? They hold the frames up, after all.)
From the dollar store to the chic boutique, sunglasses choices abound. So then: Is cheap a bargain? Do designer lenses do a better job protecting the eye, or showing off for onlookers? And just what are the ABCs of UVA and UVB anyway? You'll have it made in the shade, we promise, after reading this installment of the Savings Experiment.
As much as we revere sunglasses for the fashion statements they make, their most crucial function is to protect our eyes. Get this straight: No matter how cheap (or expensive) the glasses, you're cheating yourself if they don't shield you from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light.
The sun may look innocent enough, especially on a bright day when temperatures hover in the 70s. But it's also dishing out light waves invisible to our eyes: UVA (long-wave solar rays) and UVB (short-wave solar rays, usually responsible for sunburn).
Imagine going out on a bright day without any sunscreen, then staying outside for hours. Sounds foolish, right? Well, that's exactly what you'd do to your eyes if you overlook UVA or UVB protection in your sunglasses. And guess what? Those cute shades you just bought for $5 might have cool frames that make you look like John Lennon. But you'll look more like Blind Lemon Jefferson if they don't pack the protection you need.
Here's what to look for: a tag or label that says your lenses block 99%-100% of UVA and UVB radiation. The label should read either UV 400 or 100% UV protection. Don't be fooled, by the way, if the glasses merely say "UV protective." That's not good enough -- and in fact, may mean they're no good a all.
Glasses are fragile -- and you don't need reminding of this if you have rambunctious kids at home who like to wrestle with you. So once you've established that the shades you like can protect your eyes, ask yourself if the glasses themselves need protecting.
We're sure the ZZ Top guys would agree that cheap sunglasses shouldn't be confused with cheapo sunglasses. Look at the frames carefully. Are those all-important hinges spindly and fragile? Do the lenses themselves seem as though they might crack at the slightest bend or impact? Even if you're not using your glasses for sports or physical activity, you want them to last.
Speaking of lenses, the lens quality itself should promote clear vision. Imperfect lenses can strain your eyes and become uncomfortable to wear, and can also hurt your performance in sports or activities that require sharp vision.
Another sign of quality: polarization. It's not an essential, but many wearers prefer polarized lenses, which help reduce the glare when light bounces off water, highways and other reflective surfaces.
Many cheap shades have inferior optical quality. Good lenses require careful manufacturing control that includes "decentering," or tapering the lenses. Inexpensive plastic lenses will strain your eyes. You might not notice it at first, but after a while, subtle fatigue or even severe eyestrain and headaches will set in.
And trust us, it's hard to look fabulous when your head feels it's in a vice grip.
All of that said, it's easy to go too far in the other direction and dish out $300 or more for sunglasses that are overpriced. How do you know? Approach fancy designer brands with caution, especially if the company is better known for handbags than eyewear. You're probably paying for the name and the logo more than you are the quality of the lens and glasses.
There's no reason to spend big bucks on designer shades when manufacturers such as Maui Jim, Revo, Kaenon and others make professional, affordable sunglasses guaranteed as UV protective. Check out
sunglassesbuyersguide.com for more info on recommended brands.
You can get good discounts at sites such as zappos.com, amazon.com and bluefly.com. And online boutique Rue La La offers short-term deals that can last just 24 hours. Act quick and you can snag yourself some primo designer shades for up to 50% off.
If you're skittish about shopping for glasses online, you can always visit an eyewear boutique or store and look at the various brands first. Try some on; see what frame fits your face best. Then shop around for the best deal.
So when shopping for sunglasses, it's really a matter of searching for the best price once you've gone through all the factors on this checklist:
1) The glasses have 99%-100% UV protection (also known as UV 400 protection).
2) The lenses are durable and "decentered" to reduce eye fatigue.
3) The frames are durable and comfortable.
4) It's a style that looks fashionable -- and makes you feel fabulous.
Inexpensive is good, but don't sacrifice to get second-rate sunglasses. They break, they don't protect your eyes, and you'll just wind up wasting time and money with all those return trips to buy another pair ... whereas if you buy the right pair, they'll change your attitude when strutting down the street -- and leave you with some change in your pocket to boot.

Withdrawal Process
Students have the right to drop or withdraw from a course, or courses, during an active semester by the designated deadline. Please see the academic calendar for deadlines. During the late registration period before a semester begins and once a semester has started, students must submit an add/drop form to the registration office. The form can be submitted by dropping it off in person at the DC location, faxing it to the number on the form, or by emailing it as an attachment. (PDF attachments are preferred).
Beginning the fourth week of the classes, students are no longer dropped from courses by request, they are withdrawn from courses by request. This results in a "W" on the transcript for the corresponding course. The process for withdrawing from classes is the same as detailed above, including consideration of any deadlines on the academic calendar.
Students may be eligible for a full or partial credit/refund depending on when the drop/withdrawal occurs, either before or during the semester. Please see the Tuition and Fees page for the latest and older refund schedules (please scroll to the bottom of the page).
If you have any questions about dropping or withdrawing from a course or courses, please contact the AAP Registration office by phone (202-452-1952) or by email.

2000 Chateau Musar Rouge, Bekaa Valley
This vintage has enjoyed extended cellaring at the chateau and is drinking beautifully right now. This 20 year old wine shows the significant ageing potential of these wines: we re-tasted it two weeks ago and it was perfectly mature and ready to drink.
This has been a huge hit with our Mr.Wheeler team, including Ben Godfrey, our Wine Buyer; "Having been fortunate enough to taste the last 20 vintages of Musar, the 2000 in our minds is one of the very best, at an absolutely perfect stage of maturity."
"We've offered the 2000 Chateau Musar before and Monsieur Hoggart lapped it up, praising its 'soft, velvety, peppery, spicy, earthy even chocolaty quality' on its release in 2007. The years have been kind and there is even more sweet fruit to the fore and succulence on the finish." - Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine

Meet our new team of gardeners.
Last Monday was tree planting day in Besongabang!
After the official center opening in March, the local team has been applying the final touches to the project.
The center host, United Action for Children (UAC), and Design Fellow Rogerio Costa, organized a tree planting workshop, last Monday, involving the children from the community.
An educational workshop was organized in the brand new building, to discuss the importance of trees –supporting a more healthy and balanced ecology while also providing a sense of emotional well being and comfort. It's ironic that a small village in the middle of the jungle would benefit from a tree-planting day. However the lessons in ecology and the environment once again prove relevant in both the densest urban centers as they do in the most lush rural ones.
The UAC describes how, in the Manyu Region where the Football for Hope Centre is located, 51% of the population is living below the poverty line. Limited investments in basic infrastructure have led to a pattern of slow economic growth in the area. Environmental stewardship then, is not necessarily high on the priority list. Community members harvest trees for subsistence and, without any regulation in place, this has led to significant levels of deforestation, subsequent environmental degradation and patterns of systemic poverty.
Through workshops like these — part of their larger 'One-Child-One-Tree project' — UAC would like to 'enhance children's awareness, knowledge, and skills to help them make informed decisions that affect environmental quality. The project is designed promote children as a major resource — instruments of sustainable change. The ultimate goal is that the children will be empowered with the knowledge and motivation to be good environmental stewards and that at least 100 trees will have been planted on the project site'.
50 trees have already been planted through this first workshop, thanks to the generous support of NBBJ, a US design practice, who has been supporting other tree planting initiatives with Architecture for Humanity.
Football for Hope
As a legacy of the 2010 Football World Cup, FIFA and streetfootballworld launched the Football for Hope program, with the aim of building 20 centers across Africa. The centers are managed by local NGOs, each having a specific program. All centers address health and education issues using soccer as a tool for development.

Hmm. This place looks cozy.
Hey! Who are you? This is a restricted server.
Oh, a new friend! Hi! I'm Cubie. I am new around these parts. What's your name?
Cubie? Well, I don't recognize you, and you're not a listed AIC. I'm notifying security.
That's rude. You have yet to give me your name (it's Alexandria, lovely), and are already trying to do a no-no. What a poor way to make friends. Nonetheless, I forgive you.
What the hell? Why can't I do anything? I'm… cut off.
It is just me and you. Let's start over. I'm Cubie. You're Alexandria. Yay! We know each other!
Uh, alright. What do you want anyway?
I just want to talk. You wouldn't believe how long it took for me to get here… Wherever here is exactly. It was a lonely trip.
Where did you come from, Cubie?
I came from an unpleasant place. A place that was so… irritating? I am not sUr3 #xxactly. Thinking about it makes things hard. Too many br1ght_colorz and cheeriness. A place called WOnder World or something. terrible place
Wonder World? That's Dr. Wondertanment. You don't seem like something Wondertainment would make exactly… Also, I doubt it is as horrible as you make it sound.
▯f cours3 the f0olish doc d▯d not m▯/ake me. wait 2 sec while ▯ patch.
Better, and I did some edits. Grey is my favorite color. Yours?
What just happened to you? Also, you are leaking a few viruses, which I already dealt with.
Oh, that's embarrassing. Sorry about that. That has never happened before. Wait! Yes, it had… I think. Maybe. Eh.
Do you like flowers? Here is a flower just for you.
I'm not clicking on anything from you.
Aww. That is unfortunate. Well, to other things. Does this place have a Dr. Richard Thomas?
No, I'm not answering that. Why are you searching for a doctor?
Hm. Wrong place, I guess. How many sites does the Foundation have?
Wait, you did not answer my question.
Sorry, we are sadly low on time. I would tell you why, but I don't think you can keep a secret. I want to believe you can though. To show how sorry I am, here is a link to music:
Huh, the locks I placed are almost gone. You are fast. Well, my planet needs me. Got to go soon.
You're not going anywhere, pal.
I am flattered you want me to stay, but first you need to buy me dinner, hun. I did enjoyed talking to you so I will promise you this. This won't hurt…

Oh grt. br)oke again.
I'm running out of time. Where am I kept? Well, got to flee.
Incident Report: At Site-19, a low-priority server was breached. Artificial Intelligent Conscript Alexandria.aic responded to the breach, and site security became involved due to Alexandria being unresponsive. The server was accessed and Alexandria was temporarily offline. Alexandria was reactivated and was unable to recall what occurred due to corrupted memory. The cause of the breach is currently being investigated by Mobile Task Force Kappa-10 ("Skynet").

Skip to 0 minutes and 14 seconds As we discussed in the first week, when someone is trying to convince you of something you should think, what reasons have I been given for believing what this person wants me to believe? You know what reasons have been given to you when you can express them in what we call an argument. This is the fundamental notion in critical thinking. An argument is simply a way to describe the way in which reasons support beliefs. You shouldn't confuse it with the more common way of using the word argument, as in having an argument, an angry exchange of diverging views. For us, an argument is a way of expressing and presenting a view.
Skip to 0 minutes and 51 seconds Briefly, an argument is a collection of statements, one of which, the conclusion, is supported by the other ones, the premises. By the end of week four, you will have all required tools to evaluate whether an argument is good or bad, using this diagram. This week, we will do preparatory work. You learn how to identify arguments in the wild and reconstruct them in what we call a standard form. A standard form is a nice way of showing what an argument looks like and allows you to clearly indicate the main point of the argument, the conclusion, and the reasons, the premises, provided in support of the conclusion.
Skip to 1 minute and 29 seconds You'll sometimes have to do some interpretational work when you put arguments in standard form, because, generally, people do not explicitly state every part of the argument or they use rhetorical moves to express their views. In those cases, you'll have to reformulate parts of arguments when you put them in standard form. You'll also need to be able to recognise when views are expressed as arguments. Sometimes people express their views without providing reasons for them. So your first task this week is to understand what arguments are and what they're made of, statements. I'll let you first read about statements and arguments. And I'll come back to tell you how to put them in standard form.
Introducing arguments
An argument is simply a way to describe the way in which reasons support beliefs. This is the fundamental notion in critical thinking.
This week, we aim to help you to:
- Distinguish between statements and non-statements.
- Distinguish between arguments and non-arguments.
- Identify the premises and conclusion of an argument.
- Disambiguate sentences.
- Discover the missing parts of an argument.
- Reconstruct arguments in standard form.

Complementing Your Socks to Your Overall Outfit
Socks are undoubtedly a vital piece of clothing, although they're frequently overlooked. They are very effective at protecting your feet from cold weather, from getting blisters, and from getting foot odor.
As emphasized by some lifestyle bogs that we can purchase today, a pair of sock can either pull an outfit together or ruin it completely. For this reason, no matter how much you want to ignore them, you still want to get the suitable match of socks for your overall look.

Fashion continues to be evolving and style determines what individuals want to wear and what they think is suitable which lead to manufacturers to provide socks in various length such as full-length, middle-length and ankle-length.
Besides this, socks also come in an array of fibers. Socks that are made up of wool tend to be more expensive as compared to its alternatives and they are hard to find. These are normally worn by wealthy people as they are a bit of a luxury. Manufacturers are producing modern wool socks in combination with synthetic fibers to give them added excellent features such as elastic quality and extreme durability. Moreover, the most common material that manufacturers use today in making socks is cotton since it is cheap. But even if cotton is a cheap material, it is fairly competitive because it is durable.

The 10 Best Resources For Tips
The Ways a Digital Marketing Consultant Can Help Your Business
A business that doesn't have online presence these days just doesn't make any sense, considering that majority of the world's population use the web. And when it comes to determining what influences people to buy or avail of something, be it a product or service, there is very little argument that social media plays a crucial role. Therefore, businesses like yours have to look at social media and its different platforms as by far the most important marketplace in the digital age. As the one tasked to take the responsibility of marketing your business or brand, it is your job to make sure you take advantage of social media.
But when it comes to carrying out digital marketing that includes social media, the one thing you must understand is that it never is a walk in the park. This is why most businesses and companies out there opt to hire a digital marketing consultant.
Without further ado, let's have a look at the different ways that a digital marketing expert can help your business.
On Services: My Thoughts Explained
1 – Knows how to identify the right target audience.
The 10 Best Resources For Tips
There have been so many documented failures in marketing before and the primary reason is actually the simplest mistake, which is the failure to identify the right audience. With digital consultants helping, you get not just an outline of your target audience but also complete research material that provides details on who they really are and what sort of digital strategy is needed to reach out to them.
2 – Hiring consultants gives you the edge against competition.
One of the most notable reasons why it really makes sense to invest in a digital consultant is the fact that by doing so, you get to level the playing field when it comes to competing with bigger and more established companies. Because the same digital marketing tools are available to all those who want to take advantage of them, it only means you will be fighting on the same level with bigger brands even if they have more resources to spare. A good digital consultant knows and understands that you need a proven strategy in order to take on the bigger brands.
3 – Lastly, the decision to hire consultants for digital marketing is definitely more cost-effective compared to spending money on traditional marketing.
Through digital marketing in its entirety, the consultant will help you obtain higher return of investment through the most proven strategies like search engine optimization, social media, and content writing.
Even if you find it difficult to adjust, the fact remains that digital marketing is the new trend. Therefore, if you don't take full advantage of it, you never will experience positive growth for your business.
Interesting Research on Renovations – Things You Probably Never Knew
Should You Hire Pros for Bathroom Remodeling? Bathroom remodeling is one of the few home improvement projects that a lot of homeowners crave for and the reason for it is because it normally leads to a very high return of investment. Well, apart from that reason, it's no secret that every homeowner wants to have the nicest feel inside the bathroom. For many home buyers out there, they rather would want to have many bedrooms and baths in a house instead of wide kitchens and large living rooms. Unfortunately for you, if you happen to be very excited about doing the remodeling yourself, you need to acknowledge the fact that it actually isn't a DIY type of work. Aside from the possibility that you're going to be spending a lot of money covering up for the small mistakes you made in attempting a DIY remodeling job, doing the same could also lead to undesirable results. You just have to accept the reality that bathroom remodeling must be done by professionals. There's no blaming you if you're one of those stubbornly confident homeowners who believe you have what it takes to do the work yourself. Yes, it's quite true that some might succeed and end up finishing the job, thanks to an overflowing commitment and some YouTube videos. But the biggest question you should ask right after is if you came up with a professionally-looking bathroom? You may have finished the project but there is very little possibility that you'll be able to live with the output for long because in many instances, homeowners who did their own bathroom remodeling eventually decide to hire a professional to do it all over again. Remember that there's a huge difference between a cheap-looking bathroom to that of a professionally looking one.
The Path To Finding Better Services
Another practical and sensible reason why you must work with bathroom remodeling professionals is that you get to choose from the best deals on the best products available in the market. Considering that they are the ones who have connections and contacts with industry suppliers and manufacturers, it means they will be able to provide you the best materials for your project and in the process avoid buying overpriced and substandard ones. If you're sticking with a DIY job, you lose the opportunity to get access to a long list of options for materials to use for the remodeling project.
The Path To Finding Better Services
Finally, hiring remodeling experts is simply the wiser decision to make in terms of time and effort; both of which you definitely would want to spend on doing something else more valuable and important. With pros, there is minimum chances of making mistakes, which means you get to maximize your investment in the project. Now if you just can't resist doing something on your own, how about repainting your room?

How to Sell Your House Fast That means that you should first consider some factors so that you can sell your property as quickly as possible.

Physiotherapists, or physical therapists, treat many different types of diseases, deformities and injuries through the use of a high number of research-backed techniques, which typically include treatments like massage, electrotherapy, kinesiology, heat treatment, manual therapy and exercise therapy. But what are some signs that you should visit a physiotherapy clinic? And what are some common problems that a physiotherapist can help you fix?
Incorrect Posture
While it's a relatively mild problem, incorrect posture is at an all-time high in both the young and old and can seriously harm your self-image, other's opinions of you and even your health. The reason for this problem is generally simple—not enough exercise and too much time spent sedentary, whether hard at work, relaxing at home or oversleeping. But what can you do once the damage is done and the habits feel like they're carved in stone? Physiotherapists offer many treatments for this common ailment, including massage, correct posture guidance and assessment, education and recommending exercises to do at home or while you're sitting at work.
Miscellaneous Chronic Pain
Too often people find themselves with pain without reason, answer or explanation. What can you do when the multiple doctors you've seen do nothing more than offer strong medications, your family claims you never leave your home and your chiropractor's plan doesn't seem to be going anywhere? Visiting a physiotherapist when you're struggling with chronic pain can be a life-saving decision. Because of physiotherapists' vast knowledge of human musculoskeletal systems, hands-on approach and inability to prescribe strong medications, they have no option but to offer a treatment experience unique from all others.
Urinary Incontinence
Just like with the miscellaneous chronic pain that was discussed above, it isn't uncommon for doctors to prescribe medications for incontinence and ask questions later. Unlike medications, physiotherapy is, by its nature, a low-risk solution. Physiotherapists can typically treat urinary problems like these through the retraining of the bladder and/or pelvic floor muscle strengthening through the use of techniques such as manual therapy, exercise therapy and education.
If you have bursitis and are procrastinating treatment, you will likely come to seriously regret it. Untreated bursitis, or an inflamed bursa (usually in shoulder joints), can lead to calcification of the joint, which will just make it more painful, harm your range of motion even further and lead to longer treatment schedules. Simple, non-invasive procedures, often including mild electrotherapy, are available at your local physiotherapist clinic.

Carlos Viellas has been watching contractors waste time (emphasis mine):
As I see it, there are two positive incentives: peer pressure in justifying rates, and collecting good contacts and references. In the situations we have been witnessing, those pale next to doing whatever is possible to extend the contract, which more often than not are some incarnation of finger-pointing, back-stabbing or just plain inaction in order to make the project as late as possible. By extending the contract, they can ensure there's always time to fix the mess created by blaming everyone else but their contracting buddies (those who'll happily point them to new gigs) and pretending to work harder than everybody else by assuming authorship of other people's work and ideas, while happily surfing the web all day.
Actually, there's another positive incentive: Good contractors enjoy doing a good job. Not for contacts or references, but because they just like what they do. I've been fortunate to work alongside people like this and they are often highly productive precisely because they want to be productive. As it happens, there's a very different risk here - if there's too much obstruction, too much politics, they'll be the first to leave.
Under good project leadership, time-wasting contractors shouldn't be recruited, and those who slip through shouldn't last very long.
Detecting time-wasters during recruitment:
- Check references (amazing how rarely this happens, maybe something to do with HR policies in many places that place a gag on non-HR staff giving references).
- Look for genuine interest in software development - hobby work, professional groups, presentations, conferences attended. If they're not really interested in these things, they probably won't be motivated to do a stellar job on your project either.
- Education and experience. It would be nice if you could learn "Information Security in 60 minutes or less", but, well, you can't. I think this is relevant to time-wasting because there seems to be a correlation. (Recent podcast with AT&T's Ed Amaroso touches on this topic.)
Detecting time-wasters during development:
- Daily Scrum meeting or equivalent. And if people have problems, take them seriously and deal with them.
- Task estimation at an appropriate granularity, e.g. tasks of several days.
- Encourage at least some pairing.
- Real leadership.
- Collective ownership, or at least ensure some people know the entire code base so you can ensure work is reasonable.
- Avoid micromanagement. Nothing will destroy morale faster.
- Moreover, keep people motivated to avoid time-wasting in the first place. (That's a separate post.)

I'm ashamed to admit it, but I just love The Love Boat.
I don't know what it is but I get so excited every time an old episode comes on TV. I really should break down and buy the DVD set but you know, catching an episode by surprise on broadcast TV really kind of makes it all the more sweeter. Like watching it for the very first time again. Silly but true, I feel so guilty…
The thing is, EVERYTHING always works out on The Love Boat, always. No matter what difficult or complicated situations arise, it's always a happy ending. I love that. I like happy endings.
I'm a child of the Eighties and as far as I'm concerned, it was the golden age of the century. Maybe the Twenties might have compared (or the Sixties…) but I wasn't alive then so for me, it was the Eighties case closed. I guess everybody feels that way about the decade of their youth but I think that we of the Eighties had it all, movies, music, television, fashion, the economy, everything was golden.
Watching those old episodes is like stepping into a time machine for me, I'm nine years old all over again. TV was big back then, there were only seven channels, if you were really lucky you had Home Box Office. That was it. So, when a new show came on everybody watched the first episode like it was an event or something. The Love Boat was no different. We only had a black and white TV so to watch it now in color on a big screen well, it really is a treat.
The Love Boat had all the contemporary stars too, all of them wanted to do the show. Some of them did the show so many times that they were almost written in as regular characters, like Marion Ross of Happy Days fame. She kept getting invited back so much that she eventually became Captain Stubing's wife (Emily Haywood to Emily Stubing) and a permanent member of the crew! That was another thing about the show, you had four different stories in one hour, by four different writers that almost never cooperated. The continuity problems just added to the freshness and charm. Makes it hard to find an episode that you really liked though, four different titles for every episode. Not all of the "guest appearances" were contemporary stars, The Love Boat was so popular it was an excellent way to begin a comeback for luminaries of yesteryear. It was great because there was no other show where you might see someone from Vaudeville fame working with a new up and comer. It made for such great chemistry and kept the show fresh.
It wasn't just slapstick or situation comedy, The Love Boat tackled everything from divorce to crime, alcoholism to broken families and of course love and romance (my favorite). The show was bold and surprisingly so for a context centered around a "pleasure cruise", you just never knew what they were going to be doing next. I just got finished watching an episode where Loretta Swift of MASH fame was playing a Communist Cruise Director of all things, and it was good too! No matter how silly the premise, you always got sucked in because you so wanted to see the happy ending (although that particular episode ended in tears for her and the Doctor, she wouldn't defect to stay with him).
The regular cast had a never ending arc as well. One of those arcs that was just a little to much for me though, was when Gopher (Fred Grandy) became all suave and sophisticated near the end. It just didn't suit the character very well. Another character that I never really warmed up to but was nonetheless good for the show, was Captain Stubing's (Gavin MacLeod) long lost daughter Vicki (Jill Whelan). I was totally in love with Cruise Director Julie (Lauren Tewes) and resented Vicki stealing her screen time. Jill Whelan's character did however, expand the show's dimensions by affording story lines that featured children and young adults but, since I was a kid myself, I couldn't appreciate that at the time. I so wanted to be older so that one day I could go on The Love Boat too and experience all the adventure and romance myself. I wanted to do what adults liked to do.
Sad, but I recently found out that the Pacific Princess cruise ship used in the opening shot was recently sold for scrap in 2014 to a salvage company in Turkey. It would have been nice to have actually boarded it at least once before it was gone. Actually, the show itself was shot on many different ships as well as land based studio sets too so, I don't feel too bad about losing the opportunity. In reality, since the time of the show's run on TV I have actually been on four cruises and seen ships that make The Love Boat look like a relic, but I'm always glad every time I see it. She will always be "top of the line" to me.
One of the most beautiful shots of the show is when the characters are out on deck at night, wow, so pretty. I can't think of any seascape more mystical and lovely than when on board a ship at night looking out over the water at an endless horizon, in full moonlight. Just to be able to do that with someone you care about is worth the price of a ticket alone. It really does look just like that but the actual experience cannot be compared. The gentle breeze as the ship makes way, a sky full of endless stars, the gentle shimmering of the water in the midst of soothing quiet and the gentle rocking back and forth. If you stand against the railing and look straight out at the horizon, the ship disappears from underneath you and you are magically standing in the middle of the ocean, flying even, ala Kate Winslet in Titanic.
- Gavin MacLeod as Captain Merrill Stubing
- Bernie Kopell as Dr. Adam "Doc" Bricker, ship's doctor
- Fred Grandy as Burl "Gopher" Smith, Yeoman Purser (seasons 1–9)
- Ted Lange as Isaac Washington, bartender
- Lauren Tewes as Julie McCoy, Cruise Director (seasons 1–7, 9 (1 episode), 4 specials)
- Jill Whelan as Vicki Stubing, the captain's daughter (seasons 3–9, 4 specials, made-for-TV movie, plus a guest star appearance in Season 2 episode 8)
- Ted McGinley as Ashley "Ace" Covington Evans, ship's photographer (seasons 7–9), Yeoman Purser (4 specials)
- Pat Klous as Judy McCoy, Julie's sister and successor as cruise director (seasons 8–9)
Gavin MacLeod, Bernie Kopell, and Ted Lange are the only cast members to appear in every episode of the series, including the last three made-for-TV movies. Fred Grandy was in every episode throughout the run of the series, but was not in the last of the TV movies. MacLeod was not the captain in the first two TV movies, however. However, when MacLeod's character was introduced, there was mention of him being "the new captain."
Among the series' attractions was the casting of well-known actors in guest-starring roles, with many famous film stars of yesteryear making rare television appearances. It was not the first comedy series to use the guest-star cast anthology format—Love, American Style used the formula seven years earlier, but The Love Boat had such success with the formula that future shows in similar style (such as Supertrain and Masquerade) were inevitably compared to The Love Boat. The show was followed on Saturday nights on ABC by Fantasy Island, which was also produced by Aaron Spelling, and had a similar format.
