Design and construction plans are underway for the Chalk Hill Trail, a 3.7-mile hike-and-bike trail that will traverse Oak Cliff and West Dallas.
That work is expected to be complete in about a year, and if so, construction could be in in the fall of 2017. That means we could be using the trail, which starts near Wright and Hampton and ends near Chalk Hill Road and West Davis, about two years from now.
Dallas City Council next week is expected to approve a $357,153 cost increase to $9,456,809. About $6 million of that is coming from Dallas County.

Sure, there might be a lot of ways to leverage data found within EMRs, but outcomes improvement is still king. This is one of the standout conclusions from a recently-released survey of CHIME CIOs, sponsored by the trade group and industry vendor LeanTaaS, in which the two asked hospital CIOs five questions about their perceptions about the impact of EMR data use in growing operating margins and revenue.
I don't know about you, but I wasn't surprised to read that 24% of respondents felt that improving clinical outcomes was the most effective use of their EMR data. Hey, why else would their organizations have spent so much money on EMRs in the first place? (Ok, that's probably a better question than I've made it out to be.)
Ten percent of respondents said that increasing operational efficiencies was the best use of EMR data, an idea which is worth exploring further, but the study didn't offer a whole lot of additional detail on their thought process. Meanwhile, 6% said that lowering readmissions was the most effective use of EMR data, and 2% felt that its highest use was reducing unnecessary admissions. (FWIW, the press release covering the survey suggested that the growth in value-based payment should've pushed the "reducing readmissions" number higher, but I think that's oversimplifying things.)
In addition to looking at EMR data benefits, the study looked at other factors that had an impact on revenue and margins. For example, respondents said that reducing labor costs (35%) and boosting OR and ED efficiency (27%) would best improve operating margins, followed by 24% who favored optimizing inpatient revenue by increasing access. I think you'd see similar responses from others in the hospital C-suite. After all, it's hard to argue that labor costs are a big deal.
Meanwhile, 52% of the CIOs said that optimizing equipment use was the best approach for building revenue, followed by optimizing OR use (40%). Forty-five percent of responding CIOs said that OR-related call strategies had the best chance of improving operating margins.
That being said, the CIOs don't exactly feel free to effect changes on any of these fronts, though their reasons varied.
Fifty-four percent of respondents said that budget limitations the biggest constraint they faced in launching new initiatives, and 33% of respondents said the biggest obstacle was lack of support resources. This was followed by 17% who said that new initiatives were being eclipsed by higher priority projects, 17% said they lacked buy-in from management and 10% who said he lack the infrastructure to pursue new projects.
Are any of these constraints unfamiliar to you, readers? Probably not. Wouldn't it be nice if we did at least solved these predictable problems and could move on to different stumbling blocks?

NEW YORK – The publisher of a magazine aimed at tween girls apologized Tuesday for offering adult-like tips on choosing bathing suits based on size and curves, unleashing a body shaming backlash.
Girls who are "curvy" on top, for instance, were advised in the latest issue of Discovery Girls to go for a one-piece with other side cutouts or ties to draw attention to elsewhere. Big block patterns were offered for those rounder in the middle — all under the headline: "What Swimsuit Best Suits You?"
Online body shaming trends paint unrealistic image of 'perfect' body
Ideal body weight is determined by the images we see, study suggests
The magazine is aimed at 8- to 12-year-olds.
After taking heat on 老域名怎么购买 and other social media, founder and publisher Catherine Lee issued a lengthy apology on the Discovery Girls Facebook page. She, too, expressed shock that such an approach was published. She called herself the mother of the first Discovery Girl, in 2000.
"I am in total agreement with all of you regarding this article, so much so that I wanted to make this letter as public as possible," she wrote.
"We want to make sure that our girls know that any article that makes you feel bad about your body is not a good article, and should be questioned."
The article was supposed to be "about finding cute, fun swimsuits that make girls feel confident, but instead it focused on girls' body image and had a negative impact," she wrote. "Nobody knows better than Discovery Girls how impressionable our girls are at this age and we are ALWAYS mindful of this."
The magazine has received hundreds of thousands of letters over the years from "girls sharing their insecurities about their bodies," Lee added.
She said the magazine is "not immune to making mistakes, but we are always willing to get better and learn from our mistakes."

Every woman has known the struggle of trying to buy swimsuits that fit, but not every woman knows the particular frustration and embarrassment of looking for trendy new swimdresses made in plus sizes. You'll hear the same story countless times — she scours the racks for something both appealing and made for her body, and leaves with next to nothing to show for the time wasted in the dressing room except a serious case of fitting room anxiety. The problem is that most retailers don't see plus sizes as worth producing, leaving the market untapped in favor of unfair body shaming attitudes.
Fortunately, plus size and body positivity advocates like Ashley Graham and Tess Holliday are pushing for changes in the industry. Gorgeously modeling lingerie and swimwear, they inspire women of all sizes to do the same. As Ashley herselfsays, "Stand up for curves, confidence is sexy". But the problem still remains of finding something to wear.
Physical shopping won't ever stop being a hassle (for everyone). Online shopping is where it's at now. Both regular retailers have started hosting online catalogs, and several online-exclusive stores have stepped up to the plate, filling every niche and providing what can't be found in person. No more having to throw money on gasoline down the drain to hit the mall, or trying on item after item in vain because the exact measurements aren't printed on the tag. Ask any swimwear expert and they will tell you that the best deals for womens plus size swimwear is online and that the selection in plus size tankinis, skirtinis, and bikinis is equally hard to beat. Even Business.com points out that online swimwear retailers have "lower overhead" and excel at offering competitive prices for swimwear. In 2014 over 75% of teen and adult shoppers bought something online.
This is where online retailers like swimsuitsforall come in — they can cater exclusively to plus size women and offer the best selection at the best price because of how specialized they have made their inventory. No more falling back on boring, uninspired designs, or swimdresses that were clearly made for a skinny woman and sized up without taking into account the kinds of shapes that actually flatter a plus size body. Certain design features like geometric patterning, flared fit tops, and heart-necklines and scoop-necks all do wonders on a bigger body, along with invisible features like built-in underwire support and tummy-smoothing mesh fabrics. These carefully thought out design choices are hard to find in physical retail selections.
Not only that, but women can shop year-round online just in case a sudden surprise vacation opportunity should arise. If a woman suddenly needs a fashionable swimdress in winter for a vacation to the Caribbean, she's in luck. Overall, finding trendy new swimwear for a plus size shopper isn't just easier online – it's smarter, too.

Bungay pool remains shut for the rest of 2018
PUBLISHED: 14:54 27 December 2018
The doors of Bungay Swimming Pool will remain shut for 2018 after a fault with the boilers.
Keen swimmers will have to hang up their trunks and swim wear for the remainder of the year as the pool stays closed until further notice.
According to Waveney District Council, engineers have worked to repair the boilers in the pool.
Councillor Graham Catchpole, Waveney's Cabinet Member for Operations and Facilities said: "We would like to thank our customers for their patience as we seek to resolve issues which have led to the temporary closure of the swimming facilities at Bungay Pool and Gym.
"Engineers have undertaken repairs to the boilers and are now dealing with a separate issue relating to water cylinders. We expect the reopening of the pool to take place as soon as the required temperatures are reached."
The swimming pool is not expected to open until early next year.

4000 - Advisory Opinions
Bank Acts as Deposit Broker When, at Request of Customer, It Purchases CDs at Other Depository Institutions and Charges Fee for Such Service
October 26, 1992
Joseph A. DiNuzzo, Senior Attorney
This is in response to your letter of August 25, 1992, to Valerie Best, Counsel, FDIC Legal Division, on whether *** ("Bank") is a "deposit broker" under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's brokered deposits regulation, 12 C.F.R. 337.6. Please excuse our delay in providing this reply.
You state in the letter that the Bank does not solicit deposits to be placed at other financial institutions, but at the request of your customers the Bank purchases certificates of deposits at other institutions that meet the appropriate capital guidelines. You also state that the Bank usually charges a fee for this service.
Please note that the Bank's activity in this regard constitutes deposit brokering under section 29 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1831f) and the FDIC's brokered deposits regulation. The definition of deposit broker is very broad. In section 29 of the FDI Act and section 337.6 of the FDIC's regulations it is defined, in pertinent part, as: "[a]ny person engaged in the business of placing deposits, or facilitating the placement of deposits, of third parties with insured depository institutions . . . ." If a certain activity comes within the scope of this definition, the person engaging in that activity will be considered a deposit broker, unless that person is operating in the role specified (in both the brokered deposits statute and regulation) as one of the exclusions from the definition of deposit broker. None of those exclusions seems applicable in this situation.
We believe the brokered deposit statute was enacted to enable the FDIC to control the flow of deposits to all but the best capitalized insured institutions. If in this situation the Bank were not considered a deposit broker, then it could place deposits with undercapitalized banks and thereby circumvent the intent of the statute.
In our view, therefore, the Bank is a deposit broker under section 29 of the FDI Act and section 337.6 of the FDIC's regulations and the deposits placed at the other depository institutions are brokered deposits. As a result, the Bank is subject to the registration requirements imposed by the FDI Act and the FDIC's brokered deposits regulation and the other insured depository institutions are bound by the requirements of the statute and regulation. As provided in the brokered deposits statute and regulation, if the institutions with which the Bank places deposits are "well capitalized" (as defined in the statute and regulation), then they may accept such funds without restrictions.
I hope this information is helpful. Feel free to call me with any comments or questions. My telephone number is (202) 898-7349.

Book One of Our Trakl
Distributed for Seagull Books
This new translation, the first book in a three-volume collection of Trakl's work, marks the hundredth anniversary of Trakl's death during the first months of World War I. In a refreshing contrast to previous translated collections of Trakl's work, James Reidel is mindful of how the poet himself wished to be read, emphasizing the order and content of the verses to achieve a musical effect. Trakl's verses were also marked by allegiance to both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a fact which Reidel honors with impressive research into the historicity of the poet's language.
Poems sets itself apart as the best translation of Trakl available today and will introduce English readers to the powerful verses of this wartime poet.

Wondering what to eat in Hue? Tasting food is among worth-trying things to do in Hue you should not skip. The cuisine in Hue is elegant, noble, light and rather different from other provinces in Vietnam. Spices, particularly lemongrass and chili, are the must-used ingredients. Just in Hue, local people and tourists can have a chance to experience dishes which used to be served to the Vietnamese emperors. Due to the noble heritage of the city, dishes are very diverse and famous for their distinctive flavors. The taste and the decoration of Hue food are very important factors in Hue food culture. Each dish has its own particular colors and shapes as well.
Hue-Style Beef Noodle Soup (Bún Bò Huế)
Bun bo Hue (Hue style beef vermicelli) or more detail, Bun bo gio heo (beef and pig's knuckle vermicelli) is a popular Vietnamese soup vermicelli dish, and one of the most typical foods of Hue, Vietnam. Fine combination of ingredients make the food famous; the broth is prepared by simmering beef and bones for a long period of time, after that a large range of different spices containing lemon grass and chili are added in. Shrimp paste holds no less importance. Hue people usually add thin slices of beef shank, chunks of boiled oxtail, and pig's knuckles or pork into the bowl. It can also contain cubes of maroon brown congealed pig blood, which are good for those suffering from high blood pressure. The specialty is commonly served with a plenty of herbs like sprouts, lime wedges, cilantro sprigs, onions, and sliced banana blossom. Thinly sliced purple cabbage or iceberg lettuces are used in case of lacking in banana blossom. It is highly recommended for tourists to add a few of shrimp paste directly into the soup.
Rice with clams (Cơm Hến)
This is another famous dish you must try in Hue. This intricate but simple dish combines a lot of flavors from fried pork fat, onion, clams, cabbage, roasted peanuts, crunchy rice cracker, banana flower, chili pepper, start fruit, Vietnamese coriander (a.k.a rau ram), mint, rice and taro stems. These ingredients are perfectly combined together and served cold in a bowl, followed by the hot ginger clam broth with fermented shrimp paste. The final result is the balance of saltiness, sweetness, sourness and spiciness. A true traditional Com Hen has to be severed spicy. However, the fermented shrimp paste, one of the favorite dishes of Vietnamese people, has a strong smell so it takes time to get used to.
Mam tom chua
The central of Vietnam is reputable for its Mam tom chua (sour shrimp sauce) and Hue is the best place for this unique sauce. Unlike normal shrimp sauce (has brown color and smooth surface), Sour shrimp sauce has orange color while shrimps still keep its original shape. It is quite simple to make this sauce. First, shrimps are clean by salt water (do not use normal water to avoid bad smells) and "cook" by strong rice wine. The shrimps will turn red. After that, carefully mix the shrimps with sticky rice, sliced lesser galangal, garlic and chili. Slowly put all the mixture into a jar covered by guava leaves. Just need to wait for 5-7 days and we have the mouthwatering sour shrimp sauce of our own making. This is the best sauce for boiled pork with vermicelli.
Banh Hue (Bánh Huế)
things to do in Hue This is a bite-sized dish presented in a range of different types, but all originate from the same basic daily ingredients: shrimp / or pork, cassava flour, glutinous rice flour. The trick is lying in the method to arrange and cook them together. Though there are different variations, the followings are the most common:
Banh Beo (Bánh Bèo): it is a small sauce dish consisting of steamed rice flour which is topped with mung bean powder, ground shrimp, green onions, and a small piece of crispy pork fat.
Banh loc (Bánh Lọc): it is a translucent rice flour patty including either green bean paste or a whole shrimp (containing shell, head, and tail) and presented in the figure of a mandarin segment.
Banh Nam (Bánh Nậm): a rectangular, flat steamed rice flour bite which is wrapped within the banana leaf and then topped with grouped pork and shrimp.
Banh Ram It (Bánh Ram Ít): This dish is made from sticky rice flour balls which are filled with shrimp and cubed or ground pork decorated with fried shallots and displayed on a base of the crunchy pork fat.
The great thing about these dishes is their sauce. Each dish has its own sauce. Nuoc mam (nước mắm), the unique Vietnamese fish sauce might be hard to smell for those international tourists, yet it is a basic ingredient in most dishes in Vietnam and just by proper additions could give the desired results. Banh Nam and Banh Loc often go with fish sauce that contains just a few slices of red chilies and green. Banh Ram It (Bánh ram Ít) and Banh Beo (Bánh Bèo) are perfectly served with fish sauce that contains sugar, lemon juice, sugar, and shrimp paste – another awkward, distinctive smelling accompaniment which is an acquired taste.
Tasting these Hue-style pancakes is another interesting suggestion in regard to things to do in Hue. They are both made from water / coconut milk, rice flour and turmeric powder filled with a few slices of the fatty pork plus with a de-shelled or whole shrimp along with bean sprouts before being pan-fried till getting crispy. You can see local people sometimes wrapping these pancakes in lettuce / mustard leaves and adding basil leaves or mint leaves for additional flavor. Banh Khoai is often served open-faced whilst Banh Xeo is beautifully folded into shape of half-moon like a taco or an omelette. They are accompanied by fermented soybean sauce. Because of the spicy sauce taste and its greasiness, these are reckoned as winter dishes.
Nem Lui
Finely ground beef and pork, plus shredded pork skin and fat, garlic, sugar and fish sauce are formed into sausages around stalks of lemongrass, grilled over charcoal and set in front of diners. This is serve with half-moons of rice paper (for wrapping around the meat), to which you add sliced lettuce, cucumbers and trai va (a green fig unique to the region), lightly pickled strings of carrot and green papaya, cold rice vermicelli and a pile of herbs. Then, it's basically grip and dip: Hold the whole package securely and pull out the lemongrass skewer, then dip it into a chunky, mild-yet-complex hoisin-based sauce that includes both peanuts and peanut butter, fermented beans, sesame seeds, shrimp paste, garlic and shallots. Add chiles to taste. woww it is very tasty !
Che Hue (Chè Huế)
Being a sweet desert soup, Che Hue refers to the traditional beverage of Vietnam which tastes sweet. The dessert soup is made from different mung beans (green or yellow), black eyed peas, tapioca, red kidney beans, lotus seeds, aloe vera, sesame seeds, jelly, taro, fruits like longan, jackfruit, mango durian, and lychee. Though there are various versions of Che, each has the prefix of the word "Chè" and followed by a term or phrase describing the special ingredient of the dish. There are four noticeable types of Che that Hue locals are most proud of, which are Che with lotus seed tastefully wrapped within longan (Chè long nhãn bọc hạt sen), Chè with purple sweet patotoes (Chè khoai tía), Chè with floating sticky rice cakes plus with shrimp (Chè trôi nước nhân tôm thịt), and Chè with rice pastry and bean (Chè đậu ván bột lọc).
Let's memorize this dishes and the must-try it when traveling in Hue ! ;)

It's common for clients to be apprehensive about calling an escort the first time. Being unsure about the process, battling guilty feelings and experiencing bouts of shyness or awkwardness can make the first call a difficult one. All people – including escorts – have the toolkit to realize this and more, not only from the words you use, but also from your vocal tone, tempo and other characteristics.
Keep in mind that researchers have discovered that an individual relays his message through three methods: body language (when in person), words and voice. While 55 percent of the meaning of a message may be conveyed through body language, your voice carries significant importance in revealing your intent and thoughts with 38 percent of the meaning delivered this way. (The remaining 7 percent of a message is understood through the words you use.) As a result, your voice is a tool that can make or break you when you call an escort. Consider these things your voice may be telling an escort:
- Your voice may tell an escort something about your height. A study by John Morton of Washington University in St. Louis demonstrated that listeners often accurately distinguish taller from shorter speakers based on voice pitch. Escorts talk to a lot of men, and they generally find that the taller a man is, the lower his voice is accordingly. Scientific facts agree with this concept, too, although it can be misleading. (Not all tall men have deep voices, just like not all vertically-challenged chaps speak in higher-pitched tones.) However, women tend to surmise that a deep voice equates with manliness, which syncs with being tall. If you want to conjure up images of being tall (and, maybe dark and handsome, too!), you may be benefitted by lowering your voice slightly as you speak to an escort over the phone. Before you place your call, clear your throat and concentrate on decreasing your pitch a note or two. Avoid adjusting your voice in an unnatural way that is difficult to maintain. Your voice doesn't have to be significantly lower to have an impact.
- Escorts make instant classifications about your looks based on your voice. Even though a pleasant speaking voice doesn't automatically indicate that an individual was blessed with good looks (think about many radio personalities that definitely have faces for radio!), it assists in creating a good first impression that creates a positive image about your appearance. In a 2013 study published in the journal "PLOS ONE", researchers discovered that women like men with lower-pitched voices because they consider them manly, taller and with better features. Other research has indicated that people with symmetrical faces (usually considered more attractive) have more melodious voices naturally. Evolution has not ceased to assist humans by increasing their sex appeals with good voices; better looking people have better sounding voices. If you want your escort to perceive you as good looking, you should attempt to make your voice as pleasant as possible.
- It's possible to reveal details about how interesting, energetic or lively you are through your voice. People who are interesting and energetic often speak in such a way that draws others in. They use inflection, emphasis and tempo to deliver their messages. If they're especially impassioned about a topic, they tend to speak quickly. If they want to drive a point home, they may speak slowly and specifically. They interject emotion and excitement into not only their words, but their tone of voice, too. Escorts are much more interested in meeting up with clients who are interesting and stimulating. If given the choice, they will choose a client who seems exciting and energetic over one who is dull and lazy. Through your voice, you project an image that an escort uses to determine whether you will be a fun date or not. It's in your best interests to do your best to sound like you're a guy she would enjoy spending time with. Speaking in a monotone voice that doesn't include much variation or expression doesn't help you create a positive image with an escort.
- Your voice reveals aspects about your personality such as whether you tend to lean toward formality or being more casual. Clients who over articulate their words, speak stiffly or use verbiage that is usually reserved for the professional work environment may project an image of being more conservative, staunchly uptight or simply more formal. An escort won't expect a client who speaks this way on the phone to arrive in jeans and a polo; she might picture him in a three-piece suit, complete with starched boxers. Escorts usually predict that more formal clients take longer to ease into the encounter and may experience difficulty or awkwardness with the intimacy involved in her services. Some clients, though, are entirely too casual for their own goods, using perverse slang terms, cursing repeatedly and making tactless comments. These clients create a negative image of being undesirable to meet up with. Conversely, a client who is conversational and easy to talk to, striking a proper balance, may create an image of being an easy-going guy who would be fairly easy to satisfy during an encounter.
- A client's mood and general attitude are revealed easily through his voice during a phone conversation with an escort. Grumpiness, short-tempered tendencies, impatience and general surliness are easy to pick up on when speaking with a client. Answering in short statements, abruptness and intolerance for questions or procedural comments are strong indicators that a client is not in a good mood. His voice may be gruff and harsh, which further demonstrates his overall negative attitude or aggravation at the time. However, other clients present themselves with a pleasant demeanor through a cheerful voice that is compassionate and smooth. Clients who want their escorts to think positively of them before they meet need to remember that the tone of their voices tells a lot about their emotions at the time. If you're having a bad day and want to set up a date with an escort, you have to remember to smile as you speak with her in order to interject some kindness in your voice. She may deny meeting up with you when you call sounding like a grump.
- Escorts get a feel for how confident and comfortable you are when you call them. It's natural if you feel a bit uncomfortable when calling an escort. Most escorts can see past this. However, they also pick up on your overall confidence level in yourself through details you reveal with your voice. Typically, a deeper pitch (versus a higher one) indicates that a man is confident and sure of himself. Sometimes, it can be a sign of authority or experience, so it's wise to deepen your voice slightly, especially if you're trying to mask your apprehensiveness. Confident men usually speak with an even pace, maintaining a somewhat consistent tempo throughout the conversation. Speakers who use a fast speed to talk sometimes seem nervous or awkward. Enunciate clearly as a way to demonstrate you are sure of what you are saying. Mumblers tend to be thought of as meek and mild. Use clear concepts and statements when you talk to an escort to show that you are clear about what you want from an encounter with her. If you are vague about your expectations or fail to express yourself clearly, you will make her think that you are uneasy with the situation and uncomfortable with her.
- Your genuine intentions are usually revealed through your voice. Clients who are calling for the right reasons, to truly book an encounter or find out more information, can typically be distinguished from those who are only timewasters, based on their voices and how they present themselves on the telephone. Most escorts agree that something in their tone helps to reveal that they are "for real." Clients who are genuine typically maintain the same vocal tone and pitch throughout the entire conversation. Their pace/tempo is consistent and inflection seems natural. Even if a client seems nervous, his clear statements and comments indicate to an escort that he's the real deal. However, callers who do not have good intentions to meet up for an encounter generally come off differently. Experienced escorts tell that callers with nasally voices that sound whiney, men who mumble their requests and clients who can't seem to speak with an even cadence are hiding something or lying outright about details they've provided. These are the clients they may screen more carefully, require confirmation for encounters and request deposits from. Additionally, they may cut conversations short, as they detect the caller is only a timewaster from the very beginning.
- Escorts can get an idea about your education and intelligence through speaking with you on the phone. In addition to the vocabulary you use (which is a huge indicator, itself), escorts rely on parts of your vocal presentation to determine how educated (and successful) you are. Your proper pronunciation of words, appropriate grammar use and attention to how your voice sounds (clearing your throat and rephrasing with a better tone) are all ways to demonstrate to an escort that you are a smart guy worth seeing. Exercising tact and refraining from making questionable comments indicate that not only are you intelligent, but you have social smarts, too. Clients with less education or lower IQs often do not present themselves in such a polished way over the phone. Their pronunciations may be incorrect and they often use incorrect grammar. They often don't care how their voice sounds, because they don't realize how significant it is in creating a first impression.
- Your voice may issue an automatic warning or red flag to an escort. Escorts are always on the alert for clients that may pose threats. Any caller who is loud, aggressive and pushy on the phone may fail to get a booking. Loud callers often end up being domineering and issuing orders to an escort. Clients whose voices become higher pitched, along with increasing in volume, if they don't get their way over the telephone are definite threats in person. Demonstrating anger or extreme frustration when discussing an encounter is never a good way to create a positive first impression. Additionally, clients who have gravely or raspy voices may end up being controlling clients, many escorts say. Even though public perception is that a raspy male voice is sexy, it can also be the sign of someone who wants to exert their authority over others.
- Escorts realize that clients are shy or tentative through their voices. Some clients call with very quiet voices. They say as little as possible, very softly over the phone. While a few may be trying to be overly discreet, others are simply shy or uncomfortable with the first telephone chat. In addition to speaking softly and saying little, an increase in tone at the end of sentences may indicate to an escort that you are terribly unsure of yourself, almost to the point of issuing questions instead of statements. Your voice trembles may give away your uncertainty or awkwardness. And, giggling or hiccupping may lead an escort to believe that you are embarrassed or overly bashful. Even though an escort's services are intended for all types of clients, some women simply don't want to attempt encounters with clients who may have difficulties with their services. However, it's best to allow an escort to realize these aspects of your personality so that she is better prepared if she takes your booking.
- Origin and heritage are commonly revealed through a telephone conversation with an escort. Even though many people have no accents or unique ways of speaking (based on their origins), others have very obvious indicators about where they are from. Do not attempt to hide your accent; your escort will figure things out about you when you meet in person, anyways. Additionally, beyond your accent, your tone of voice may reveal details about your heritage. Americans typically have deeper voices than European citizens do. Clients from the middle east often have higher pitched voices.
- Clients who are too perfect in their delivery may make an escort suspicious. If your conversation with an escort the first time you talk to her is without any problems or mistakes, she may suspect that you're trying too hard to convince her that you're a great client to have. This may cause her to delve deeper into your screening, which may take a bit more time for her to schedule an encounter with you. Avoid sounding rehearsed, even though you may have practiced your speech several times before hitting the "send" button on your phone. Aim for a natural tone and comfortable tempo in your conversation with her. Go with the flow as the conversation progresses and attempt to keep your voice and pace steady.
If you feel that your voice is telling details about you that are untrue or you just want to improve the first impression you provide to an escort, you can do a few things to better your delivery. First and foremost, you must remember to breathe. Know what you want to say ahead of time and practice it once or twice. (Any more than that may make it seem rehearsed, and it may throw you off when she asks questions that don't coincide with what you practiced.)
Don't rush yourself, but don't drag your conversation out, either. Smile as you talk to your escort, noticing how much more pleasant you sound this way. If you are unsure about how you sound, record yourself ahead of time. Listen to the recording and attempt to correct aspects about your delivery you don't like. Reflect on how you want your escort to visualize you and attempt to make your voice reflect that.

May 09, 2016 (LBO) – Sri Lanka's national airline's rising debt stood at 64.92 billion rupees at the end of March 2016 against 56.92 billion rupees recorded a year earlier.
SriLankan Airlines said in a statement that without 'one-off' extraordinary payments related to restructuring activities, the Airline's Group Loss was 8.9 billion rupees last year, which is a 46 percent improvement from previous year.
While the steep drop in fuel prices contributed to the Airline's improved performance, this benefit was significantly eroded with its revenue declining 4 percent to Rs115.9bn in 2015/16 from Rs120.4bn in 2014/15, the Airline said.
"Addition of capacity to the Colombo market by other airlines, accompanied by a dramatic drop in airfares in certain markets largely contributed to the declining revenues," SriLankan said.
"The performance was further impacted by the depreciation in the exchange rate compared to the previous year."
The finance charges of the Airline stood at 5.6 billion rupees, an increase of 16 percent from last year.
SriLankan Airlines said due to the non-receipt of a proposed capital infusion of 125 million US dollars from 2015 budget, additional bank borrowing had to be taken which resulted in an additional interest charge of 1.73 billion rupees.
The Airline is to acquire more narrow body aircraft, while delaying or otherwise changing the A350-900 aircraft which had been ordered by the previous management.
"These negotiations are now at an advanced stage and the Airline has been continuously interacting with the shareholder on this matter."
SriLankan Airlines said A350-900 aircraft are both inappropriate and too expensive for the Airline, given the current operating environment and the excessive lease costs.
The shareholders are currently exploring the option of a Public Private Partnership (PPP) for the Company and have appointed a Special Committee to provide direction on the broader expectations of the GoSL.
Meanwhile the Finance Ministry has advised the Airline that within the next six months it intends to re-structure the financials of the Airline including the outstanding debt.

Usually, I'd do resolutions, which are what I want to achieve each year, but I never achieve them and it just makes me feel rubbish, so instead, I'm going to do my expectations! This is what I expect out of the year, instead of what I want to achieve.
- I expect to get through my last remaining a-level, and to get an alright grade. If this was resolutions, I'd say I want an A, but for expectations, I expect a B. 🙂
- I expect to feel rubbish some of the time, but that's okay. That is okay. I cannot go through the entire year without feeling some sadness.
- I expect to have my 18th with my family and friends. I want to forget the fact that I'm gonna be an adult and play board games and have pizza like a kid!
- I expect my pets to be there throughout the year, making me feel good when I might feel down!
- I expect it to be a better year than last year. Honestly, tomorrow, A Monster Calls is coming out in cinemas — if that isn't a great start to the year, then I don't know what is!
- I expect to start writing more again. I've kind of been doing a lot of poetry recently on my Instagram (of the same name as my blog), but I haven't been doing a lot of stories! I think I will pick up the story-writing pen again soon! 🙂
- I expect to continue going to a group I've been going to and to enjoy most of it.
- I expect to continue blogging, and to also get a custom domain — hopefully very soon! 🙂
Thank you for reading!
What are your expectations for the year?

It's been about a year since I've last made an online safety post so I thought that it's about time that I make another one of these posts. Staying safe online is very important when you're playing Wizard101, interacting on social media, or visiting websites. So let's talk about the various ways you can stay safe online!
Staying Safe Online: Kingsisle Games
Wizard101 and Pirate101 are family-friendly games, but you will still come across people who have an alternative motive. There are people who may say they're going to give you gifts (such as crowns or memberships) in return of your password. Others may ask you for your personal information because they say that they're your friends. The best thing to do if you're facing this situation is to use the Ignore option in-game. If it comes to harassment, you can use the report option.
The Wizard101 Ignore Option
The Pirate101 Ignore Option
Did you know that Kingsisle employees are also impersonated in-game? Someone in-game may say that they or a relative of theirs work at KI when that's not factual. Most of the reasons people say that is to get personal information from you. If someone says that they're a KI employee in-game, ask them for their badge. If they don't show you their badge, report that player. You should see a badge called "Kingsisle Support" under their name if they indeed work for the games.
Staying Safe Online: Social Media
My advice for staying safe on social media really relates to the games. You should remember to never give away personal information to anyone no matter what. There are ways to ignore and report people on social media. Check out the images below to see how to ignore/report on social media. Remember to report only when it's required such as someone pretending to be a Kingsisle employee, harassment, etc - depending on the rules of the site you're reporting the person from. Scroll over the Hyperlinks below to access guides on how to report someone on each social media network listed:
Speaking of social media, Kingsisle does have official social media accounts, including email. If someone emails you from a random email or message from someone asking you for your password to your account - they do not work at Kingsisle. Ignore any emails/messages like that! Kingsisle has an official list of emails that you can contact them by. They will never ask you for your password:

Pirate101 Social Media
Kingsisle Social Media
Staying Safe Online: Websites
There are many different types of KI-game related sites out there. It's best to keep a close eye out there for scammers. They can also ask for personal information in return for "gifts". If they do, it's best to avoid or even report the site to Kingsisle. If they're asking for your personal information, you should not pay any attention to them. There are fansites out there that you can get stuff from when they have contests, in which the codes are provided by Kingsisle. If you would like to see a list of trustworthy websites, you can click on the hyperlinks below to access the Wizard101 and Pirate101 fansites.
Official Pirate101 Fansites
Pirate101 Website
There have been times in the past where people have made websites that looked like official websites from Kingsisle, but they were not. As I've stated above, report any website that's not official Kingsisle websites to Kingsisle. There are several official Kingsisle websites. Most of these websites are linked from their main websites. If you would like to access these websites, scroll over and click on the images below:
Wizard101 Website
Pirate101 Website
Keep in mind that there are different versions of Wizard101 based on language/area. For example, Wizard101 UK is a different version of Wizard101 based in the United Kingdom from Gameforge. For a full list of these websites, you can view the image below. You can also click on the image to access this list at the bottom of the Fansites list!
Online Safety Tips: The Main Message
I have already shared so much with you, but there's actually a lot more than you should know. The main message I'd like you to get out of this post is to NEVER give away any personal information with anyone. Whether it's where you live, your password, or billing information. It's called personal information for a reason. Please keep it personal and continue to stay safe online. Although this is mostly focused around Wizard101 and Pirate101, it really goes beyond the games. This is an internet safety post. Please continue to stay safe online! If you would like more online safety tips beyond this post (including links that provide nice online safety tips), please click on the link below! Thank you so much for reading! Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral.

As we have lived in Cairo, we have appreciated the help of many who have taught us the local scene, culture, and political and religious realities. As we approach three years in country, then, it is rewarding to be able to share some of our insights with others who are writing about Egypt.
Freely you have received, freely give.
Of course, if we pat ourselves on the back for commitment to this principle, we violate others by the internet equivalent of standing in the street corners and issuing praise to self.
Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is linking to.
So be it: I hope the following links are helpful in putting forward our opinion on some recent events, as well as introducing the works of others who also are doing their best to make sense of Egypt, write accurately, and hopefully serve her.
Eunice Cunha is a Portuguese researcher in the United States, and inquired recently about the position of Copts in Egypt in light of current circumstances. Here is an excerpt, which she posted on her blog:
Amador Square (AS):
Unlike the Muslim Brotherhood, Copts were there, at Tahrir Square, demanding the ousting of Mubarak's regime. What has changed for Copts, a year later?
Jayson Casper (JS):
A couple clarifications, first. Though the Muslim Brotherhood was not there officially when the revolution began, many of their youth were. Furthermore they were there officially after January 28.
Similarly, the Coptic Orthodox Church was not there in the beginning, or afterwards, though Christians did contribute from the earliest days. Christian activists I know, however, lament that their fellow believers were so few.
But you refer to the changing euphoria that Copts had following the revolution. Simply, they were dealt a huge blow by the military in the events of Maspero, and the other powers which emerged are mainly Islamist. I don't think Copts want to go back to the old regime – they recognize the limitations and false freedoms of Mubarak. But they would not mind a reformed continuation of what was, though this creates a dissonance that mutes overt support for the revolution.
Please click here to continue reading at her blog, Amador Square, which explores the connection between Tahrir and Portugal's own revolutionary history.
A little while before that, I was able to assist in an article exploring the relationship between the Orthodox and Evangelical Church in Egypt, especially in light of numerous but mostly non-official defections to the latter since the revolution. The author, Sarah Carr, is my superior in all things Egypt, but given the subject I was able to provide some perspective, and a quote. Here is an excerpt from the article in Egypt Independent:
There has also been a slight change in relations between the Coptic Orthodox and Protestant churches, with a joint prayer session held in the Saint Samaan Church in Manshiyet Nasser.
"It was a bit strange and out of context that the late Pope Shenouda welcomed that event, after demonizing similar events before and warning "his children" against participating in such events. Maybe it is a sign of a change? Maybe it is politics," Zekri wonders.
Casper suggests that this unity is a natural reaction to the Islamist resurgence and that the church "can't stand against the tide of a more inclusive Christianity. The trend is towards saying, 'we're all Christians.'"
Please click here to continue reading. Sarah's own blog, Inanities, is an often humorous look at Egypt from Sarah's bi-national perspective.
Still earlier, I had the chance to introduce Avi Asher-Shapiro to a young Coptic activist. Avi is a Fullbright scholar who was researching Coptic issues, which resulted in the following article from the Carnegie Endowment, from which an excerpt is given:
Above all, Maspero demonstrated that, even in the face of explicit violence, the church's hierarchy is not yet willing to break with the SCAF. Many bishops are jockeying to replace the aging Shenouda (rumored to be very ill), and few would risk losing the military's support in a future bid for the papacy.
But the church is underestimating the damage these SCAF ties are inflicting on its relationship with its young membership. As Coptic activists become increasingly defiant, the church may find it impossible to contain its adherents. According to Ramy Kamal, the best way forward is for the church to withdraw from political maneuverings and salvage its spiritual role. Or, as he told me: "We must save the Church from itself."
Please click here to continue reading. Other articles from Avi can be found here at Salon.com.
Finally, Johnny and Rebecca Weixler are American filmmakers who visited Egypt to make a documentary about the Arab Spring. Beginning with the Alexandria bombing which unleashed great inter-religious sentiment, they chronicled how 'One Hand' became a dominant chant of the revolution. I had the opportunity to introduce them to a few characters who exhibit such sentiment.
Johnny and Rebecca have no article, but their website provides the trailer to their movie, subtitled: The Heroic Struggle for Muslim-Christian Unity in the New Egypt. Please click here to view it.
It has been a privilege to get to know all of the above; may Egypt be better off because of their work.

New Diet After Weight Loss Surgeries
New Diet After Weight Loss Surgeries
Whether you are about to have your first gastric sleeve or band procedure, or are having a Lap Band revision surgery, the diet you follow in the days, weeks, months, and year following a procedure will obviously be crucial to your future health and wellbeing. Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S. has been at the forefront of helping patients to achieve success through expertly performed weight loss procedures. Below is a very brief of the kind of advice you should receive from a doctor following a bariatric surgery.
· Aside from risking your weight loss, after any weight loss procedure operation, you may become nauseous or violently ill if you overeat.
· Chew your food thoroughly and be sure to take the time necessary to truly enjoy it; this will ensure that you feel full. It will also aid your digestion.
· While a great deal of attention should be paid to the pros and cons of Lap Band vs. sleeve gastrectomy, the same attention to good eating should be paid following either procedure.
· Pay attention to protein. You should have one serving of a high protein food alongside appropriate servings of vegetables and carbohydrate-rich foods at every meal.
· For obvious reasons you should pursue a healthy, well-balanced diet eaten in small portions; avoid empty calories – i.e., foods that feature lots of sugar and fat and not much in the way of protein, vitamins/minerals, fiber, and overall nutrition.
· Most important of all, adhere to any meal plan given to you by your doctor.
Whether you are considering an initial operation such as a Lap Band or gastric sleeve, or are considering a revision procedure such as a band to sleeve, Dr. Feiz is one of the very best there is. Contact his office for details on a free seminar.

TheInternationalConferenceonMachineLearningandDataMining(MLDM)is the third meeting in a series of biennial events, which started in 1999, organized by the Institute of Computer Vision and Applied Computer Sciences (IBaI) in Leipzig. MLDM began as a workshop and is now a conference, and has brought the topic of machine learning and data mining to the attention of the research community. Seventy-?ve papers were submitted to the conference this year. The program committeeworkedhardtoselectthemostprogressiveresearchinafairandc- petent review process which led to the acceptance of 33 papers for presentation at the conference. The 33 papers in these proceedings cover a wide variety of topics related to machine learning and data mining. The two invited talks deal with learning in case-based reasoning and with mining for structural data. The contributed papers can be grouped into nine areas: support vector machines; pattern dis- very; decision trees; clustering; classi?cation and retrieval; case-based reasoning; Bayesian models and methods; association rules; and applications.

Personal & Local
Personal and Local
We Are Local
We have served local businesses for more than 18 years. We take pride in contributing to local economic growth as evidenced by the way we help local businesses reduce their operating cost of an essential service such as payment processing.
We have saved local businesses more than $3,000,000 so far and these funds can be used for business development.
We are Personal
We believe in a personalized approach. We meet with you in person and discuss the most suitable payment options for your business.
The payment processing environment has become very impersonal. Most business owners are just used to dealing with call centers. Sales people in the industry come and go. Have you experienced people selling you a payment solution and then disappear? Personnel turnover is high and it is rare to build long-term relationships. We have established business relationships with local businesses for 3, 5 and even 10+ years.
We are dedicated to serving local businesses and we would like to help you as well!
