The two good faries had already gegeven Aurora her gifts of Beauty and Song, but Merryweather still had hers to give. Merryweather was just about to give her gift, but then, out of no where, the evil and diabolical....wait where is she? "Cut. Where's Maleficent? We can't do this film without her, she is the only interesting character in this story *not my view, not my view, not my view*. Okay, change in plans, Merryweather give your gift now, andddd action." Merryweather then sprinkled her magic and zei her words that kept everyone on the edge of their seats. "Well, I give Aurora the power to....be strong and invincible!" And with that everyone began to clap and celebrate as Aurora stayed bunched up in her blankets. minuten later, Aurora's mother decided to check on her beauty baby gir-wait why was there a rock in Aurora's carriage? Aurora's mother began to panic, but soon the rock began to sing and it was the most beautiful thing she had ever heard. Then Queen Leah took a seconde look at that rock, it sure was beautiful, the most beautiful rock she had ever seen. The rock had all the right moves in all the right places and curves that would make the boys faint. Surely this rock wasn't her daughter, but then she remember Merryweather wished for her to be strong and invincible, two characteristics of rocks.... Queen Leah knew this rock was her daughter, and she decided she would raise it into a beautiful young boulder.
15 Years Later
"Mom can I go take a walk?" Aurora asked her mother. "Well, I guess...but be careful! Last time someone almost threw u in a pond." Aurora rolled outside and began to sing her song that she had sang so many times before, "I wonder, I wonder, if I keep on rolling I'll roll into a human's body," but this time was different, this time, as she rolled down the heuvel at an uncontrollable speed she began to transform into a human. "Oh this is wonderful!" She got up and looked at her reflection in the water and was appalled! Her neck was .5 inches too long. With that she decided she was too ugly and decided to drown herself in the pool. The end! *Don't worry, she ended up becoming a mermaid, only to be killed 5 days later door Ariel because Ariel was jealous of Aurora's pointy chin which could easily slice vis to eat*

A sampler of 2005 graduates
Students from more than 40 countries people the hallways of the English Language Institute. They bring a wide range of experiences and goals with them, contributing to the unique dynamic of the ELI classroom. Two samples of this rich diversity follow.
Kirchmayr, Russia
Thats when Angelika Kirchmayr first saw the Russian pairs figure skaters Liudmila Pachomova and Aleksandr Gorshkov on TV, together with their trainer, Elena Tschaikovskaja.
Thats what I want to do, the toddler told her mother. I want to be an ice skating coach.
At 4, Angelika started skating classes. By the time she was 6, she was enrolled in the Latvian National Skating School and practicing five hours a day.
What Angelika didnt realize, of course, is that her dream would one day lead to The Pond ice rink in Newark, Delaware, where she currently helps her husband, Oleg Ovsyannikov, two-time world ice skating champion and silver medal winner at the Nagano Olympics in 1998, train skaters for national and international skating competitions. Among their students is Johnny Weir, two-time U.S. Figure Skating champion, considered among the top five skaters in the world.
Angelika herself is no stranger to ice skating competition. She won the Russian National Junior Championship for ice dancing in 1988 and the World Junior Ice Dancing Championship in 1989 before an injury forced her out of the competitive rink. She then graduated from the Russian Theatre Academy, where she studied choreography and mime, and subsequently trained figure skaters from Austria, Germany, Canada and Russia before coming to the United States.
While a student at ELI, Angelika was often seen playing on the Institutes front yard between classes with her dog, Caesar, a frisky Rotweiler. The avid animal lover also has a cat and ferret in her house in Bear, DE, and a dog, cat and horse at her mothers home in Austria.
I love them both equally, she says of her animals and of her ice skating students. I have a big heart.
Fatima El Ammouri, Morocco
For Fatima, and for many Middle Eastern students, a special program has enabled them to come to the United States to study English at places like ELI and to complete degrees in American universities.
This year has marked the second year in which student recipients of the U.S. government PLUS (Partnership for Learning Undergraduate Studies) Program scholarships have been sent to ELI by countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Students are nominated by their local ministries of education but must undergo a rigorous selection process including a written test and interviews by representatives of the U.S. State Department.
Fatima El Ammouri was born in the small city of Kenitra, Morocco. She grew up as an only child, never knowing her father, a soldier who died before she was born. Her mother supported her daughter by renting out rooms, and young Fatima flourished. While a student at Ibn Tofail University, Fatima took a special test to qualify for the PLUS Program scholarship. Her fluency in the oral interview made a favorable impression and was instrumental in her selection and opportunity to travel to America.
Many ELI classmates came to know Fatimas bright smile and to respect her for her friendly, earnest and diligent approach to both relationships and study. Used to seeing her in the classroom wearing her traditional Muslim hijab (head covering), many would probably be surprised to learn that, back home in Morocco, she was an accomplished athlete.
Not only was Fatima a member of the basketball team, but she also excelled at the martial arts, studying the traditional Japanese karate style known as Shotokan. At the age of 15, she joined the Moroccan Junior Karate Team, becoming the 1999 womens champion in point fighting.
After graduating with honors from ELI this summer, Fatima traveled to the University of Ashland in Ohio, where she hopes to complete her bachelors degree in international relations within two years. After that, she plans to return to her homeland to be reunited with her mother, to achieve her dream of becoming an English teacher and to serve as a bridge between the people of the United States and Morocco.

When Stephen Scott Defriese woke up in a hotel room on Aug. 18, he didn't know he'd been missing for three days.
He didn't know his family and police were searching for him. He didn't even know where he was.
When he started to search the room for clues, he found his cellphone.
"It said 27 missed calls," he said. "One of the messages was my son. He was screaming, 'Daddy, please pick up the phone. I know you're still alive, I know you're out there somewhere. Please pick up the phone and call me.'"
Defriese was in Hickory, N.C., about 300 miles from Chattanooga. He had no memory of driving there, or of anything else he'd done since Tuesday night. The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said he took a lunch break at work on Wednesday and never returned.
At the time, Defriese, 50, worked at a local smoke shop, a job he'd held for about two months. The small shop is packed from floor to ceiling with various tobacco and herbal incense products.
After his son drove him back to Chattanooga, Defriese said he checked into a local hospital, where doctors determined he suffered a psychotic episode as a result of smoking synthetic psychoactive substances -- the products marketed as "herbal incense" that he purchased legally from the shop.
A wide range of synthetic legal intoxicating drugs are sold throughout the U.S., and lawmakers are struggling to stay ahead of supply.
The products, labeled "not for human consumption," are marketed by vendors under many names: incense, plant food, spice -- just not as synthetic drugs.
But people buy the products to get high, said Saralyn Williams, a physician at the Tennessee Poison Center.
"These things can be snorted, smoked like a cigarette, ingested, injected -- all with the intent of getting the psychoactive effects," she said.
The substances mimic the highs of marijuana or methamphetamine and are popular because they are easy to find and falsely considered a safe alternative to marijuana, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
But many people have very serious physical and psychological reactions to the unregulated drugs, Williams said.
"The mental effects are very distressing because patients can be very psychotic," she said. "They can be a danger to themselves and also to other people. They don't perceive things the way you and I would and realize, for example, that it is not safe to jump out of the window of a building."
Defriese said he would never have smoked the herbal incense if he had known how harmful it could be.
"This stuff has to get off the streets," he said. "It caused me to lose days. It's a wonder I didn't get killed or have a wreck and kill somebody during what transpired."
While experts and lawmakers agree the sale of synthetic legal intoxicating drugs needs to be stopped, it is difficult for legislation to stay ahead of production.
In the past, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration issued bans on synthetic drugs that were based on each chemical's specific formula -- and there are hundreds of variations of the chemicals. When one formula is banned, another similar product -- but made from different ingredients -- quickly takes its place on store shelves.
"The hard part is that all you have to do is tweak the structure just a little, and it becomes 'legal' again," Williams said.
To combat the problem, the Tennessee General Assembly passed three bills in April that make it a felony to sell and manufacture synthetic drugs -- defining the drugs by their effects instead of by their formulas.
Special Agent in Charge T.J. Jordan, a supervisor in the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's drug division, said the new laws are helping to slow the flow of synthetic drugs.
"We still see it, it's still a problem, but the problem has been curtailed some by the Legislature's last efforts and actions," he said. "But understand, just because you've got synthetics, that doesn't mean we don't quit working cocaine, heroine and meth. This is just another burden on law enforcement to protect the community."
And the only way for law enforcement to be sure a product is banned is to test it, Jordan said.
"So that's where it becomes a little sticky," he said. "Let's say a new brand name comes up -- it may be just a repackaging of the same product that we've seen before, but until it is tested by, say, the TBI lab, it is difficult to know."
Which could be why some stores are still "legally" selling herbal incense products and other synthetic drugs. Such stores mislead customers, Jordan said, and especially young people.
"Because of the accessibility and because it's sold over the counter with chips and soda pop, youth think, 'Wow, it must be OK,'" he said.
One in nine high school seniors reported using synthetic marijuana in 2011, the National Institute on Drug Abuse reported.
"These convenience stores and tobacco stores are becoming nothing more than a common street corner drug dealer," Jordan said.
Smoke shop owners insist they do not sell illegal substances.
Regardless of whether the herbal incense products he smoked were legal, Defriese said he will never smoke them again.
"This is a horror story," he said. "If I ever see anybody with a package of it, I'm going to knock them down, snatch it out of their hands, rip it open and shake it all over the ground."

Scammed Condé Nast Gets Its $8 Mil Back
flickr: Unhindered by Talent
The guy who scammed Condé Nast out of nearly $8 million has waived his claim to the money in federal court, presumably making it possible for the magazine company to get its cash back, reports Forbes.
As you may or may not recall, a guy named Andy Surface emailed Condé Nast's Accounts Payable department with instructions to mail payments for printing to "Quad Graph" instead of Quad/Graphics, the printer Condé's used for years.
As William P. Barrett says on his Forbes blog: "It appears no one at Condé Nast bothered to check, and immediately started wiring money to Texas."
When the real printer called to ask why its invoices had been unpaid for two months, the magazine company discovered they'd been had.
It's unclear whether Surface will face criminal charges, but we're just happy Condé is getting its money back. That $8 million can pay a lot of salaries.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The space shuttle Atlantis inched its way closer to the Cape Canaveral launch pad and to the history books.
"We're going to look at this final mission as a celebration of all the space shuttle has accomplished over its thirty year lifespan," says Chris Ferguson, the commander of the final mission.
Ferguson, a Northeast Philadelphia native, came out of retirement to command the shuttle's 33rd and final flight in July and the last mission of the space shuttle era.
"We can look back and take the sweet part of all this and say we are blessed to have been a part of this," says Ferguson.
Ferguson's mother, Mary Ann Pietras, will travel down to Florida for her son's third mission into space. She says watching him lift off is almost as great as watching him land.
"I am truly concerned about him," admits Pietras, "but he says, 'Not to worry, Mom. They wouldn't send me if it wasn't safe.'"
Everyone who knows Ferguson is proud that he grew up locally, attending Archbishop Ryan High School, and then Drexel for college. And Ferguson makes it a point to give back to the community where he grew up.
"He's also very much still a guy of this area and can relate very well to these kids," says Archbishop Ryan President Michael McArdle.
Ferguson received the Distinguished Graduate Award from his high school, where he has become an inspiration for the students.
"I think our kids use that example and say, 'If Chris can do it, I can do it,'" says Frank Morris, Ferguson's old science teacher.
Chris Ferguson grew up aiming for the stars. And he got there.

Social housing plan for Limerick estate back on agenda
Opposition: Cllr Kieran O'Hanlon
Nick email@example.com@nick468official
CONTROVERSIAL plans to develop social housing in Rhebogue are back on the agenda, with a planning application expected in the coming weeks.
Limerick City and County Council is teaming up with the National Association of Building Co-Operatives (Nabco) to deliver the units, which will cost €3.8m.
But there are concerns from residents that the development – at the front of the Drominbeg estate – could see a more value wiped off their homes, an increase in anti-social behaviour, and the loss of a green space at the front of the estate.
Fianna Fail's likely candidate in the upcoming mayoral election, Cllr Kieran O'Hanlon walked out in disgust during a meeting on the development at the Castletroy Park Hotel last week.
"I think they are going through an exercise of consulting with residents, but I am putting the word consulted in inverted commas," he said.
Councillor O'Hanlon predicted "social unrest" if and when builders arrive at the site.
He said: "They are planning to plant these units in an area which has more than adequate social housing."
And the City East member also called on Nabco and the local authority to come to a meeting of residents in Rhebogue to explain what it is all about, and hear their concerns.
Councillor O'Hanlon does not believe local politicians, or members of the public have been given adequate information from the council executive on the development.

Robert L. "Bob" Willenberg, age 87, of Dubuque, IA, passed away peacefully at 5:05 p.m., on Friday, July 13, 2018, at Sunnycrest Manor. To honor Bob's life, private funeral services were held. Burial will be in Mt. Calvary Cemetery. Behr Funeral Home, 1491 Main Street, is in charge of arrangements.
Bob was born on August 8, 1930, in Dubuque, Iowa, son of Greg and Frances (Schmitt) Willenberg.
Bob was proud to be a life-long Dubuque resident, who put his love of drawing to use as his working trade. He had a great love of the golden era of film and enjoyed watching classic movies and admiring the stars of that era. Bob was also a very simple man who was able to routinely find pleasure in the more basic moments of life. Sitting down with a hamburger, fries and a rootbeer was all Bob required to consider his day a successful one. We will miss Bob, but we are definitely grateful for the memories he leaves behind and the light he shared while he was here with us. We will miss you Bob!
Bob is survived by
several cousins.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents; and his favorite landlord, Joseph Wagner.
Thank you to the staff at Sunnycrest Manor for all of their love, care and support of Bob throughout the years, and also thanks to Judy Engleke for being a special friend and wonderful advocate for Bob.

Identify an unsatisfied need
The need is the basis of your success. If you identify correctly the need then you are able to define a solution to this need. That's your idea. As there is a need, you are sure that there is a market too. The best ideas come from an obvious need.
Create the new user experience
Once you have your idea and the need it saves, you have to deploy a solution. To do it, please focus on user experience. How many solutions aimed to fulfil a need and failed because the UX was bad or even worth because the usage was unsatisfactory?
Invent your own business
It is fundamental to implement your own business model; Don't copy, don't reinvent, just do it your way.
The business model is really core to your innovation. don't fear to propose first-of-a-kind model to your management. If it worth it, there will be no worries.
And you, what steps would you add?

China Biologic Products to Build Two New Plasma Stations in Shandong Province
May 12, 2010
TAI'AN, China, May 12 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Biologic Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBPO) ("China Biologic," or the "Company"), a leading plasma-based biopharmaceutical company in China, today announced that its majority-owned subsidiary, Shandong Taibang Biological Products Co. Ltd. ("Shandong Taibang"), has been approved by the Shandong Province Health Department to build two new plasma stations.
"This approval is a major milestone for the Company, providing a unique opportunity to expand our plasma collection capacity to meet the significant market demand in China," said Mr. Chao Ming Zhao, China Biologic's Chief Executive Officer. "We are proud to receive the first Shandong provincial government approval for new plasma station construction since privatization of the industry in 2006. We hope to complete the two new stations by the end of this year."
The Company estimates capital expenditure during 2010 for the two sites will be between RMB 16 - 20 million (approximately, $2.4 - 2.8 million). Once the new stations are operational, China Biologic will own seven of the eight plasma collection stations in Shandong province, and 18 total plasma collection stations nationwide, with up to 660 metric tons of plasma collection capacity.
China Biologic will build its two new plasma collection stations in Yishui and Ningyang counties, which have a combined population of nearly two million. Both counties are economically underdeveloped regions that with the appropriate promotional programs, marketing efforts and nutritional supplement fees, may offer reliable sources of plasma donors over time. The construction of the new stations will also provide the Company with the opportunity to invest in the commercial vitality of these counties through job creation in the construction and healthcare sectors. Construction of the new stations will commence once final site selection is completed. Management hopes to receive approval to begin commercial plasma collection by the end of 2010.
"We expect the two new plasma stations to expand our overall collection capacity by up to 80 metric tons, or 14%, over the next few years," added Mr. Zhao. "With the additional plasma supply and the advancement of our product pipeline, we believe that we are well positioned to increase our market share in China."

Rebel Wilson has been cast in an upcoming remake of the classic comedy Private Benjamin.
The Bridesmaids star will take a leading role in New Line Cinema's reboot, according to The Wrap.
Private Benjamin will follow a redneck (Wilson) and a high society girl who get more than they bargain for when they join the Marines to escape their present situations.
The original 1980 comedy, which starred Goldie Hawn, was one of the highest-grossing movies of the year and spawned a short-lived television series
The Private Benjamin remake is currently looking for a director. It will be produced by Mark Gordon.
Wilson can next be seen in Night at the Museum 3 and is soon to begin filming the follow-up to the popular Pitch Perfect alongside Anna Kendrick.

OMG Moments - November 2017
Turkey Trauma
"One time at Thanksgiving Dinner with 15 guests, my seven-year-old grandson changed into his Sunday best and started telling jokes and singing—like real entertainment. His closing line was, "Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week!"
"While trying to teach my children a lesson in giving, I took them to help serve food at a homeless shelter. While inside, my van was broken into and our early Christmas shopping presents were stolen!"
"Growing up, my mom, sister and I arm wrestled for each Thanksgiving dinner turkey wing. Mom was so concerned, she started buying an extra wing to cook with the turkey in the oven so all three of us would be happy. She often left the turkey out all night to defrost. Early one Thanksgiving morning we discovered the third turkey wing had been ravished, with most of it gone. Seems our family cat, Bootsie, hankered for turkey wings, as well. So we were back to fighting over two wings and locked up the cat. The following year or so, my mother-in-law insisted on cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I hate cooking and gladly gave up the kitchen to her. When we got ready to eat, both wings were gone! She had used the meat in her gravy, throwing away the rest. I thought about dumpster diving and divorce!"
" Living in Michigan, we had our own sweet cherry tree. So, I made pies for Thanksgiving. Everyone commented on how beautiful they were until they ate a slice. I had forgotten to pit the cherries when I froze them from summertime picking!"
" In 1966, my mom's sophisticated side of the family dined with our dad's side—otherwise known as the swamp hunters. Dad had a "turkey yelper" voice call to imitate a turkey. As the Thanksgiving turkey was placed on the table, he yelped and frightened the sophisticated side of the family enough for one to proclaim; 'That bird's not dead—it's still clucking'"
" I was so excited to make a rack of lamb for our dear friends. I prepped all day and was within 15 minutes of taking the lamb out of the oven. I decided to add water to the Pyrex dish to get gravy going and that's when disaster struck! It shattered, killing our lamb dinner!"
" One year, my elderly mother decided to go Black Friday shopping with my sister and me. We always have a plan of action mapped out for the day. The first store did not open on time—so we went to Shoe Carnival. Between the three of us we bought 19 pairs of shoes, waiting in line over an hour to check out. We were ready to go, but Mom wouldn't leave because they were having a prize drawing. We reluctantly waited 15 minutes. When the guy called out the number, a little elderly voice yelled out 'That's me!' It was Mom…free shoes for a year!"
" On Black Friday I left a house full of people to go stand in line for coupons. Thinking I would return to my home of peace and quiet —nope—they were still there!"
" On Thanksgiving we invited our six neighbors to dine. While dishing up the food, I had to remove a casserole from the oven. Being rather short I had to stand on my tip toes to retrieve it. As I turned around the dish slipped off the pan and on to the floor. We brushed off the squash and served it!"
" The first time my husband deep-fried a turkey, his timing was off. The turkey burnt and was too tough to eat. It was a turkey-less Thanksgiving!"
"One Thanksgiving our daughter invited a friend who had a pot-bellied pig. She was a small pink pig who took her snout, knocking our dogs out of the way of their food, eating one kibble at a time. When we picked her up, she would squeal and act as if she were dying. It was a lot of fun!"
Poll: What are you most thankful for this year?
34% My Family
28% My Health
14% My Signficant Other
10% I survived another hurricane
9% My Pets
5% Money

The world of eCommerce is ever-changing, but several trends have emerged that give a hint of what's to come in 2020. Here are the 10 things we think you should watch for this year and beyond – how can your eCommerce system answer these trends?
Smartphone shopping
Having a well-organized and easy-to-navigate mobile site has been a growing concern in the web world for a long time, and eCommerce sites are no different. According to Euro IT Group, the mobile share of worldwide eCommerce is expected to reach 70% by next year. So now is the time to ensure your smartphone eCommerce experience is hassle-free for both your customer and your business.
Tablet shopping
Shoppers love their tablets, and it's easy to see why. They're mobile, but have larger screens than a smartphone. This means that they can browse their favorite online stores and view large, crisp images of what they're looking for. As with smartphone eCommerce, ensure your tablet-ready eCommerce site offers the quickest possible route from browsing to purchasing, with as few clicks or taps in between as possible.
Increased focus on omni-channel shopping
According to Google, 85% of online shoppers start a purchase on one device, but complete the purchase on another device. Perhaps they're commuting from work and will add a product to their shopping cart, but will wait to complete the transaction once they're home in front of their desktop computer. Omni-channel shopping is a way of life in today's eCommerce landscape, so ensure that you have an OMS that can integrate with multiple channels.
Shopping in social media
Recently, Instagram began displaying ads to its users. On Pinterest, shoppers can now take advantage of "Buyable Pins," allowing them to shop right from Pinterest. eCommerce platforms such as Magento are taking advantage of this new trend in online shopping. These new social ways of shopping are quick for the consumer, and offer several payment options, making it more likely that your customer will buy.
Mobile payments
A recent study shows that 24% of online shoppers abandoned their shopping carts because they wanted more payment options than were offered. Investigate and implement mobile payment options such as Apple Pay, Google Wallet, PayPal and others to reduce your rates of shopping cart abandonment.
Online loyalty programs
Like mobile payment options, online and mobile loyalty programs can incentivize the customer to keep coming back. Whether it's points, tiered rewards or discounts, shoppers are responding. In 2018, nine percent of shoppers belonged to a loyalty program, with 12 percent joining loyalty programs the next year. Sites like Amazon are seeing the value of loyalty programs, too, as shown with the launch of their Amazon Rewards Visa card, which gives 3% back on items purchased from the site.
Flexible delivery options
Thanks to major players such Amazon offering same-day delivery, and Starbucks offering the option to order and pay in advance, eCommerce delivery options will need to be more flexible in the year ahead. Investigate your OMS options to see how you can make changes in your delivery options to respond to what your customers want.
Free shipping
A recent study of American shoppers by comScore reveals that "83% are willing to wait an additional 2 days for delivery if shipping is free, and 68% said free returns shipping is needed to complete a sale." In tandem with flexible delivery options, free shipping could encourage your customers to complete their purchases, and return to do further business with you.
Contextual shopping
Customers are familiar with personalization in their online shopping, but contextual shopping is poised to move ahead in 2020. Employ eCommerce strategies that remember your customers' item preferences, past searches, and location for increased engagement and sales.
Live chat support
Why wait until the checkout process to answer any questions for your customer? Live chat technology across multiple channels will continue to improve in 2020, allowing your employees to offer real-time support to your customers. This access to a real-live person, even via an online messaging system, can help to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.
The backbone of good eCommerce is strong integration with your other systems. Many of these trends will also have repercussions for inventory management, accounting, and shipping. Ask Circle Commerce how we can help your business adapt to these 10 eCommerce trends!

Anchoring Conference
Presentations ANCHORING A good anchor to the ground is essential for the safety and stability of any kind of light structure. That means not only for tents and transitional shelters, but also for water towers, radio antennas, containers, etc. The potential of this simple element is huge. The aim of the study is to identify high-tech systems for low-tech and efficient use, to secure people and goods. It seems to be a widely established practice even in emergency operations to rely on concrete for the anchoring/ foundation of temporary structures. However, using concrete in many contexts presents a number of issues regarding, quality, speed of implementation, cost and last but not least, removal after disassembling the temporary structure. IFRC-SRU aims to explore in which cases earth anchors can present a cost effective, easy to implement alternative to the commonly used foundations. IFRC-SRU is testing a number of different anchoring systems in different soil types to evaluate their performance. The results will serve to prepare a matrix that will help identify what anchor is most suitable for what ground condition and what load type (size of structure, expected wind-loads, etc.) FIXING In most humanitarian shelter operations, tarpaulins are the "first aid" distributed to cover the immediate needs for sheltering. Some tarps come with eyelets to facilitate fixing and tensioning. However, eyelets also present the weak point where the tarpaulin is most likely to fail from wear and tear. A wide range of products exist on the market for fixing and tensioning textile material, but also for metal sheeting or other sheet-materials. However, it seems that these products are not effectively exploited for sheltering. What fixings are cost-effective and present adequate solutions to securely and easily fasten a tarpaulin, other fabrics and sheet materials (e.g. shade-nets) used in humanitarian sheltering? IFRC-SRU is testing a number of different fixing systems/items with regard to performance, easy use, and cost, to evaluate which products can be relevant for humanitarian sheltering.

In a thrilling encounter in West London, goals from Didier Drogba and John Terry put Roberto Di Matteo's Blues 2-0 up.
Gokhan Inler's spectacular effort made it 2-1, putting Napoli ahead after their 3-1 win in Italy, but Frank Lampard converted a penalty afterEzequiel Lavezzi handled in the box.
Extra-time followed, during which Branislav Ivanovic fired a rasping finish into the roof of the net after Drogba picked him out.
Leading 5-4 on aggregate, the hosts defended stoutly and could have added more as Napoli crashed out.
Chelsea, fifth in the Premier League, enter the quarter-final draw as the only remaining English side.
Di Matteo was overseeing his second game in charge after Andre Villas-Boas's sacking, and he maintained his 100 per cent record against a free-scoring Napoli side who hit six in their previous Serie A match against Cagliari.
But Walter Mazzari's team also conceded three in that match and Chelsea exploited their defensive fragility while largely shacking danger-man Edinson Cavani, who went missing at the Bridge.
The opening was worrying for Chelsea though, as they were repeatedly cut apart by rapid Napoli breaks.
The first chance fell to the hosts on six minutes – Daniel Sturridge's half-volley kept out by Morgan De Sanctis – but from that point quickfire counters wreaked havoc: a Mark Hamsik effort was deflected on to the legs of Petr Cech, Cavani finished into the side netting from close range, while Lavezzi forced Cech into a save at his near post.
Just after the quarter hour the tide turned as Juan Mata saw a goal chalked off after Sturridge flicked on from an offside position.
Napoli defend with a back three, and Chelsea worked out the best way to test it: quick balls from wide but short of the byline, exploiting the space between the wingbacks and the external centre-backs.
One such ball – on 28 minutes from Ramires on the left – landed perfectly for Drogba, whose diagonal run allowed a bullet header that left De Sanctis with no chance.
With Chelsea needing a 2-0 win, it was game on, highlighted by Di Matteo's celebrations, which saw him slip amidst the joy.
Soon afterwards Sturridge flashed a vicious low ball across the face of goal, but via deflection it flashed inches wide of both Drogba's lunge and the far post.
Mata then put in a superb cross from the right that Sturridge flicked on, but the England forward's intervention took it away from an unmarked Drogba; yet another ball from wide – from a surprisingly solid David Luiz – was somehow kept from being tapped in by Mata and Sturridge thanks to a sliding intervention by Paolo Cannavaro.
Chelsea were ascendant and they got the perfect start to the second half: Napoli conceded a sloppy corner, Lampard's delivery met by Terry, who was pinpoint accurate with his angled header into the top left.
The defending was sloppy – Gokhan Inler should not be marking the main aerial threat – but Chelsea went ahead on away goals.
Napoli responded brilliantly, pegging Chelsea back to their final third and denied by some good defending from Luiz and Terry.
Their away goal was thus deserved – and easy on the eye too: a clearance landed on the chest of Inler, who controlled expertly before rattling a ferocious half-volley from 20 yards into the bottom left, Cech barely able to get down. It was 2-1, and advantage Naples.
As Napoli had responded well, so did Chelsea, who went close through Ivanovic and Drogba, denied by De Sanctis acrobatics.
The visitors still threatened – Juan Camilo Zuniga exploited an Ashley Cole slip but his shot hit Cech and an unaware Lavezzi – but the latter stages were all about Chelsea, who pounded the Italian goal.
Terry had just missed Drogba's flick at a corner when, as Ivanovic rose to meet another set-piece delivery, Lavezzi – who had been the visitors'best player – stuck out an arm.
It was a clear penalty, which Lampard drilled home with power, and with 15 minutes left the match was poised at 4-4 on aggregate.
Before the end of normal time Napoli carved out a great opportunity, Lavezzi heading inches wide after escaping Luiz to meet Hamsik's cross.
In injury time there was controversy when Drogba was hauled down by Salvatore Aronica as the Ivorian prepared to head Ramires's centre in, the referee and additional officials missing the double-handed tug from the Napoli defender.
In extra time the fresh legs of substitute Fernando Torres caused problems for a tiring Napoli, the striker impressing down the right as he won a corner which Ivanovic headed wide; Napoli went down the other end and almost scored, Hamsik's volley from a Lavezzi cross beating Cech but also the woodwork.
Torres managed to miss his now obligatory chance, putting wide under pressure from Hugo Campagnaro after De Sanctis went walkabout, now 24 hours without a goal.
But it mattered not as – after a Lampard free-kick was not fully cleared – Drogba found a low cross that Ivanovic drilled into the roof of the net.
It was the final act of the first half of extra-time and, as they switched ends for the remainder, there was only one winner.
Napoli were spent and Chelsea should have added more – Ramires passing too early to Torres when the right ball would have sent him through, Drogba volleying well wide after good work from Florent Malouda caught the guests on the break.
The final whistle soon went and Di Matteo was joined by players and staff on the pitch, Terry – who had come off late on – leading the celebrations as the Blues made it through.

Health Insurer Rebates to Top $1 Billion
Experts are gathering more evidence that health insurer rebates this year will top $1 billion. Consumers and businesses can expect to receive notices of their rebates by August.
Rebates are required by new rules governing the medical loss ratio (MLR) for health insurers. Under this health reform policy, health insurers offering coverage to individuals and small businesses must spend at least 80 percent of their premium income on claims and quality improvement activities, and 20 percent or less must be reserved for administrative expenses. The MLR threshold is higher for large group plans, which have to spend at least 85 percent of premium income on claims and quality improvement.
Insurers that don't meet these standards are required to issue rebates to their customers.
According to a new report from The Kaiser Family Foundation, preliminary estimates project that insurers will have to return $1.3 billion to customers this year, including $426 million in the individual market, $377 million in the small group market, and $541 million in the large group market.
Earlier this month, The Commonwealth Fund released its own estimates of rebates based on 2010 marketplace data. If the medical loss ratio rules were enacted then, insurers would have to give back roughly $2 billion to customers, with Texas issuing the highest amount at $255 million in rebates.
Kaiser's analysis does not include the state of California, where many plans are regulated by the state Department of Managed Health Care and the data is not yet available. The figures, however, almost parallel estimates from the Department of Health and Human Services, which predicts that up to 9 million Americans could be eligible for rebates worth up to $1.4 billion.
Average rebates per person could total $164 in the individual market, according to HHS. That's slightly higher than the average $127 Kaiser is predicting.
Kaiser also says the average rebates for individual purchasers range from just a few dollars in some states to as much as an average of $305 in Alaska, $294 in Maryland, $243 in Pennsylvania, $241 in Idaho, and $236 in Mississippi.
Rebates are expected to go to almost one-third (31 percent) of consumers in the individual market, Kaiser reports. Among employers, about one-quarter (28 percent) of the small group market and 19 percent of the large group market is projected to receive rebates. The share of consumers in the individual insurance market expected to receive rebates ranges from near zero in several states to as high as 86 percent in Oklahoma and 92 percent in Texas.
The Obama administration has allowed special consideration for particular market situations. In the individual market, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius can adjust the MLR standard for a state if it's determined that meeting that standard may destabilize the state's individual insurance market.

Those who know me well know that I love to pull off pranks once in a while to mess and joke around with the people I care about. I did the layered gift prank, the pie prank, the removing chair before sitting prank and many many other silly jokes that I might be the only one who find funny. I'm probably very far from being the craziest prankster out there, but I like to think that a good old prank always helps me loosen up the mood and have a good laugh with those I love.
Now, I have to admit it. I take my work and life projects very seriously, but it doesn't mean that my life has to be suit & tie all the time. I like being light on living, it's my kind of LOL, when you don't take yourself too seriously, joke on random moments and make the lamest silliest comments ever. The kind of LOL you can rock with any casual look, with any #notsobasic tee and feel like a boss! But a pretty damn funny one! 😂😉

RA Sushi will host its sixth annual "Nicky's Week" fundraiser May 30 to June 5 to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, one of the world's premier pediatric cancer research centers. The Arizona-based restaurant and bar will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of a variety of menu items and beverages to St. Jude.
Food and beverage items include: Edamame, Tootsy Maki, Shrimp Nigiri, Pork Gyoza, Tuna Tataki, Chicken Yakitori, FIJI, Red Bull and Sugar Free Red Bull, The Republic of Tea, and other select beverages.
All 25 RA Sushi locations in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Nevada, and Texas will participate in the fundraiser.
In Tucson, RA Sushi is located in the La Encantada shopping center at 2905 E. Skyline Dr., Tucson, Ariz., 85718. In the rest of Arizona, you can find RA Sushi in Ahwatukee, Mesa, North Scottsdale, South Scottsdale, and Tempe.
Nicky's Week was developed in memory of longtime St. Jude patient Nicholas "Nicky" Mailliard, of Scottsdale, Ariz., who lost a long battle with brain cancer in February 2005 at the young age of 13. A nephew of one of RA Sushi's founders, Nicky held a special place in the hearts of RA Sushi associates throughout the organization. RA Sushi initiated the fundraiser to honor the memory of Nicky and to raise awareness and funds for St. Jude, where no child is ever turned away because of a family's inability to pay for medical treatments.
"St. Jude is an incredible organization with an important mission, and we want to help ensure that its services remain available to children and families battling serious illness," said Scott Kilpatrick, co-founder and vice president of RA Sushi. "Nicky's Week has raised nearly $500,000 for the hospital since 2005, and our goal is to increase that number by $125,000 this year."
All donations from the weeklong effort will help support St. Jude which has treated children from all 50 states and around the world. Known primarily as a cancer research center, St. Jude doctors and researchers also treat children with sickle cell disease and pediatric HIV.
Nicky's Week sponsors include 1800, Anheuser-Busch, Captain Morgan, FIJI, Geyser Peak, Red Bull, Red Guitar, The Republic of Tea, Shirakiku and Skyy.

Paramilitary threats forced 52 PSNI officers to move home
The effects on officers and their families can be psychological and also financial
The number of PSNI officers forced from their homes this year is three. Photograph: Trevor McBride
In the past seven years 52 PSNI officers were forced from their homes due to threats, according to Mark Lindsay, chairman of the representative body for the officers, the Police Federation.
Forty officers had to leave home between 2010 and 2015, an average of eight each year, while nine had to find new accommodation last year.
The number forced from their homes this year is three.
"It tends to happen in peaks and troughs," explains Mr Lindsay.
He says that officers who have to leave their homes for their safety have to carry a heavy burden. "Police officers are trained to deal with stressful situations and they can cope with being forced from their homes, but often they can't cope with the fact that their families can't cope."
PSNI members, he adds, must be particularly "savvy" to preserve secrecy about their occupations. Some family and close friends can know, but not too many people.
For instance, it could be dangerous to tell young children about what their daddies and mammies do because they could so easily and innocently give the game away, he explains.
Mr Lindsay joined the RUC in 1987 and served in places such as Aughnacloy, Ballygawley, Cookstown, Newtownabbey and Ballymena.
One of the police drills is to check under cars for booby-trap bombs. "I always told the children I was looking for cats until one day my then 12-year-old-son said, 'You're not looking for cats, are you? You're looking for bombs'."
Another young child asked, "If you are a fireman why are you always driving into police stations."
Personal security is a feature of life which officers have to manage. But when dissident paramilitaries, as is overwhelmingly the reason in current cases, cause families to have to move, the effects can be psychological and also financial.
New property
The costs of removal van and of renting a new property will be met by the British state. Rent cover usually lasts for about six months, after which officers normally would be expected to have found new homes, says Mr Lindsay.
But he points out how, particularly during the financial crash period from 2008 to 2015, many officers found themselves with their homes in negative equity. He says that some officers had to sell properties for up to £80,000 less than they bought them for, and that they were lumbered with this extra burden – the state does not cover that loss.
"They just had to suck it up," explains Mr Lindsay. "I think it is grossly unfair that people who put their lives on the line to protect society and then through no fault of their own are put out of their homes should have to suffer financial loss as well."

We held our wedding reception at Heintzman House in July 2014 and couldn't have been more happy with our venue choice. The charm and beauty of this venue is amazing. What also appealed to us about the Heintzman House was the fact that there was a large bridal suite with private bathroom and several sitting rooms that the guests could roam in and explore before or during the reception. Furthermore, the house had beautifully manicured grounds with lots of greenery and colourful flower beds so guest could enjoy getting some fresh air during the reception. Almost every other guest we spoke to made a comment about how great and unique this venue was so we knew people loved it. It was stunning for photos too...I wish we actually allotted more time for photos at the venue. We also really enjoyed dealing with Christine who runs the place. She was always extremely nice and very accommodating in letting us come over to try out decorations or drop of supplies. All in all, picking this reception venue was one of our best wedding planning decisions.

We can't thank you enough for the wonderful night and the extraordinary service we received from you. We have received much positive feedback about how great the house is and how beautiful the garden. We just want to say thank you and that we appreciate all your help and support.

From the moment we walked through into Heintzman House and explored the house, we were enchanted! We knew this was the venue we wanted to for our wedding day! The house has history and character and it offered us the warm setting we were looking. The house and the grounds are perfect for wedding photos, the dining room and bar area flow well and the Bride's Room is perfect for getting ready! Christine is so helpful and a wonderful resource to connect you with the right vendors you may need for your event.

We had the most incredible day at the Heintzman House for our wedding. The venue is absolutely beautiful - it is grand without being overwhelming, cozy and inviting and yet had that stately feel we wanted. There is enough space for guests to explore and find their own place to enjoy the event. If the dance floor and music in the reception room isn't for them, the lovely drawing room with comfortable, regal furnishings and fireplace is a great place to relax. We loved the balcony, the solarium, the bridal and groomsmen suites (full of light, great for getting ready!) and of course, the grounds themselves. Getting married in the fall meant we could enjoy the tree colours and it's a photographer's dream. We had guests attend from Canada, the UK and New Zealand and we received highly positive comments about the venue. Everyone had a magical day, not just the bride and groom.
Added to the venue, which if that isn't enough, is the amazing service we received from the venue manager, Christine Beck. She is straight forward, honest, clear, caring and utterly professional. Her advice is solid and trusted; she genuinely cares about helping the bride and groom save money, recommending excellent and reasonably priced vendors. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or service and we would heartily recommend the beautiful Heintzman House for weddings, and events and celebrations in general.

We had our wedding at the Heintzman House in October of 2012. I cannot say enough good things about the venue. It is a beautiful, old Victorian mansion with so much charm and character. The grounds are immaculately groomed and so our pictures were amazing. The house is clean and neat, not stuffy at all. The upholstery and carpets are plush and luxurious and the art on the walls is representative of the time in which the house was built. You really feel like royalty! It's so gorgeous that we chose not to do any decorating aside from centerpieces! We let the beauty of this old mansion speak for itself, and got so many positive comments from guests on our choice of venue.
I would be amiss not to mention Christine, the facilities coordinator at the HH. From the day we came for a tour until the day after our wedding when we came to pick up a few leftover things (oopsie) she was nothing but attentive and accommodating. She was patient while we got our forms, permits and money together, and she was able to recommend local vendors.
On a personal level, planning a same-sex wedding can be trying at times - we had terrible experiences speaking to other venues and vendors, but Christine did not even flinch and welcomed us with open arms. The same went for the vendors she recommended that we dealt with. At the Heintzman House we were treated the same as every other couple and in the end we both had the wedding we always dreamed of. Thanks Christine and Heintzman House!

We just wrapped up a beautiful reception at this venue. Great for receptions of 100 people or less! They were very accomodating and helped us design the best flow for that space.
They have a beautiful piano onsite that can be used as well as TONS Of parking. Our caterers loved the kitchen they had onsite. The BEST feature however, was the amazing bridal suite(s) upstairs. STUNNING for pictures and also making you feel like royalty on your big day.
Great place! I recommend them!

Heintzman House is a wonderful venue for couples looking for a tucked away manor with an old soul.
The property is a not-for-profit establishment which is why it's a diamond in the rough! For couples who live in the outskirts of the GTA (Markham, Richmond Hill, Newmarket), Heintzman is a sure thing. Because it's not downtown, you aren't going to pay downtown fees and rates - and you can spend your day getting ready on-site in their gorgeous bridal suite. The grounds are wonderful for photos (namely the balcony, the front lawn, the staircase, and the lounge).
It can be done beautifully if you can stretch your décor budget to bring in some vintage furniture and upscale dining chairs for your reception. If you can funnel some of what you would have paid being downtown on the "pretty" details, than you can bet it will be money well spent!
Heintzman House has huge potential and comes at a very attractive sticker price (did we mention they have a PARKING lot in the back??). Make sure you consider this venue in your search for the perfect event space.

How is it that in books, on TV and in movies, moms never have to pump? The reality for Moms of Multiples seems to be that pumping breastmilk is essentially a mandatory part of feeding twins and triplets. Why is that? The main reason is because multiples are often born under 7 pounds and are frequently not able to latch well with a strong suck at birth. The babies need a few weeks to grow bigger and stronger, in order to improve their latch and suck. This means newborn twins usually don't yet have the power to drain the breast. Rule #1 – an empty breast makes milk. The pump helps remove the milk that the babies left in there, thus triggering the command for the body to fill the breasts with more milk. If too much milk is left in the breasts, the body thinks it's producing too much, and the production decreases.
Start pumping in the hospital
Ask for a hospital grade pump to be brought to your bedside in the hospital. Start pumping for 10 minutes every 2-3 hours (minimum 8 times in 24 hours). You will be pumping colostrum for the first few days and can give this to your babies. If your babies are in the NICU, this is extremely important to do, as you might not have babies suckling at the breast.
Rent a hospital grade pump for the first month
Consider taking a hospital grade pump home with you for one month. The hospital grade pumps have a stronger motor than any pump you can buy. Your "baseline" for milk production occurs in the first few weeks, so feeding and pumping 8 to 12 times per day is one ticket to a good milk supply. You can choose to rent the pump longer than one month, or start using a personal pump.
Insurance – know which pump is in your plan
Before you deliver, talk with your insurance company to find out what type of pump is part of your policy. Depending on your insurance, the pump could be anything from a single, plastic hand held pump to the full pump with all the accouterments, such as a Medela Pump n' Style. Check out the website https://yummymummystore.com – they can help you figure out what your pump options are. Frequently, insurance companies will offer the pump machine, two bottles, two flanges, and the tubing. This means you have to purchase the carrying bag, insulated bag with molded freezer inserts and additional sized flanges if you need them.
Personal pump – how best to use it
Consider where you will be using this pump. Some MoMs stash it behind the couch where they breastfeed most of the day. Some have it in a separate room. It should be in a convenient place, so you can (hopefully) hand off the babies to someone else after you have breastfed them, and go straight to pumping for a minimum of 10 minutes. Pump a minimum of 8 times per day – up to 12 times if you need to increase your supply. If you will be out and about or at work, get a good carrying bag and make it easy to use.
Pumped milk is your friend
Use the pumped milk to your advantage. If you are told to "supplement" your newborns, use the pumped milk after breastfeeding, to give them that extra bit so they reach their birth weight by two weeks old. Let your partner or grandma or the nanny feed the babies so you can sleep through one feed. Store the milk in the freezer – you'll find lots of times to use it, for example MoMs tend to have a dip in milk production when the babies are about three months old.
Pumping at work
Before you return to work, pump at least a few times per week, to get your body used to releasing milk via pumping, and to build up a stash in the freezer. Your employer is obligated by law to have a clean place for you to pump, preferably one with running water, and a place for you to store your pumped milk in a refrigerator. Be familiar with this arrangement at your place of work, before you return./p>
Pumping and your Lifestyle
I am often asked how on earth a MoM can fit pumping into an already crazy schedule, feeding multiples every two hours round the clock. A good feeding plan for newborns is to put the babies on the breast for 20-30 minutes maximum (keeping them awake so that they actually feed), hand them to someone else to burp, change the diaper and sooth, while you "Power Pump" for 10 minutes. If milk is still flowing after 10 minutes, keep pumping a few minutes longer. After your milk supply is established (3 to 6 weeks postpartum), you can decide how much you want to pump. Do you need milk in bottles for someone else to feed them? Do you want to pump just once a week, so you can get out to your favorite Yoga class? Do you never want to see that pump again? Do you have to return to work and will pump again at that point?
One last note – Get professional breastfeeding help if you need it
Breastfeeding is a learned skill. Breastfeeding multiples has its particular challenges. At the first signs of concern, nipple pain, insufficient newborn weight gain, or any other signs, contact a lactation consultant. A trained lactation consultant can help you give your babies the highest amount of breastmilk you can produce. Know that every drop of breastmilk you give your babies is a boost to their overall health, and one of the best things you can do for them. That's why it's known as "Liquid Gold".
Join one of our monthly online Breastfeeding Twins classes and let our twin specialised Lactation Consultation put you on the right path to feeding your twins and triplets – perfect for new and expecting mamas.

I'm curious about the dip in milk production 3 months pp (experiencing it!). Does it pass? What do you recommend to get through it?

SUNRISE, Fla. — New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson faces a slew of charges in Florida, including threatening a police officer's family and saying he would rape the officer's wife.
A Sunrise police report shows the 24-year-old Anderson was stopped early Friday in a sport utility vehicle after it ran two red lights and was swerving while travelling about 105 mph (170 kph) in a 45 mph zone.
After he was stopped, police say he made the threats and then boasted about how much money he has. Jail records show Anderson faces nine charges, including threatening harm to a public servant, resisting arrest and traffic violations.
The records don't list an attorney for Anderson.
"This is a pending legal matter and we will have no further comments," the Jets said in a statement.
The NFL is also aware of the situation and league spokesman Brian McCarthy said "we will be looking into this matter."
This is the latest legal trouble for Anderson, a 2011 graduate of South Plantation High School. He was arrested in May and charged with resisting arrest and obstruction of justice after sparring with officials who asked him to leave a Miami music festival. Anderson's next scheduled court date for that incident is on March 19.
The league is also investigating that incident, and Anderson could face punishment from the NFL under its conduct policy.
Anderson set career highs with 63 catches, 941 yards receiving and seven touchdowns in his second season with the Jets. He was a bright spot in the team's 5-11 season and appeared on his way to a 1,000-yard campaign until quarterback Josh McCown went down with a broken left hand in Week 14.
Anderson went undrafted out of Temple in 2016 and signed with New York as a free agent. He made the opening day roster with an outstanding training camp and finished with 42 catches for 587 yards and two TDs. Anderson flourished in the Jets' offence this season, establishing himself as one of the top young speed receivers in the league.
