Our member of the month is Dr. Maria Limberis. Maria was born in Adelaide, Australia but raised on the island of Rhodes, Greece. She earned her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Liverpool John Moores University in Great Britain. As part of her degree, she conducted research for a year on non-viral gene therapy for cystic fibrosis in Germany at Boehringer Mannheim. Shortly after graduation, she moved to Adelaide Australia where she earned her PhD from University of Adelaide. Her graduate work focused on the development of novel gene therapies for cystic fibrosis. In 2003 she joined Gene Therapy Program at the University of Pennsylvania as a post-doctoral researcher. In 2008 we was promoted to faculty and joined the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
Currently Maria is Research Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and also the Senior Director of the Animal Models Core of the Gene Therapy Program at the University of Pennsylvania. Her main research interest is gene therapy for cystic fibrosis airway disease. Currently she is working on vector-based prophylaxis against influenza, and have partnered with Johnson & Johnson to move this program into the clinic.
Maria's grandparents were born and raised on the islands of Rhodes and Ikaria. They migrated to Australia following the 2nd world war. Her parents were born and raised in Adelaide Australia and visited Rhodes when she was a young toddler for a 12-month project and decided to stay! Along with her 3 younger siblings she was raised and educated in Rhodes.
Maria chose to become an HMS members because she was impressed by the drive and dedication of the board members to promote education of the Hellenic Medical Community, as well as their efforts for supporting our younger members who are seeking a future in the medical field.
Like all of us, Maria has a life outside of the office and because she has spent most of her life traveling and living in many countries around the world it is not surprising that she enjoys traveling! She is also involved with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and fundraises through the yearly Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Cycle for Life event.

Mashing up the world's premier smartphone for mobile professionals with the most popular social networking site on the Web, Research in Motion Wednesday launched a version of Facebook customized for BlackBerry devices. Called Facebook for BlackBerry, the software application will use the device's push e-mail capabilities to allow instant mobile access to Facebook's social-networking features.
Facebook users will be able to receive messages and updates automatically, invite friends to join Facebook and accept friends' requests, take and upload photos along with captions and tags, view friends' status, and read and compose messages even while offline. New messages written in offline mode will be queued for posting when the device re-connects to a network.
T-Mobile will be the first U.S. carrier to offer the feature on BlackBerrys. The application will also be available for downloading from the Facebook Web site.
The partnership between the BlackBerry, seen as a status symbol for the executive class, and the decidedly nonbusinesslike culture of Facebook might seem unlikely -- Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg's appearance at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco last week already is famous for his slacker footwear (a scuffed pair of open-toed Adidas sandals) and his rejection of the idea that the young company needs a "grown-up" CEO -- but it reflects the increasingly blurred line between consumer apps and enterprise devices and features.
"Facebook is one of the fastest growing Web destinations among BlackBerry smartphone users and it has become an important element in the evolving fabric of personal communications," said Mike Lazaridis, RIM president and co-CEO, in a statement. "Facebook and RIM share a vision for enhanced mobile communications and social networking based on open, standards-based platforms."
Sharing the stage with Lazaridis at the CTIA Wireless conference in San Francisco, Facebook co-founder Dustin Muskovitz said that mobility is the next frontier in social networking.
Indeed, RIM has made a focused push to gain more individual-user business in the last year, releasing consumer-oriented devices like the BlackBerry Pearl and expanding its lifestyle offerings, such as games and multimedia.
The BlackBerry announcement comes as Facebook reportedly weighs investment offers from tech companies Microsoft and Google (which already partners on advertising with rival social-networking site MySpace). The companies are vying to take a 5% to 10% stake that would value Facebook at around $15 billion. Zuckerberg stoked those rumors last week at Web 2.0 when he told the conference co-chair that the financing deal would be wrapped up soon.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. acquired MySpace two years ago for $580 million.

Lanham, Md. — The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) announced today that Reeves Construction Corp. of Macon, Georgia, won a 2017 Quality in Construction Award for excellence in construction of an asphalt pavement. The company received its award today at a ceremony during the association's 63rd Annual Meeting in San Diego.
"The asphalt pavement industry is committed to building high-quality projects that deliver superior performance to the traveling public. All contractors' projects earning a Quality in Construction award are measured against best practices designed to live up to that commitment," said 2017 NAPA Chairman Dan Gallagher. "Earning the Quality in Construction Award demonstrates that Reeves Construction has met or exceeded these rigorous standards."
Reeves Construction Corp. won the award for its work on SR 67 north of Holton Road to north of Davis Road in Bulloch County. The company used green paving techniques on this project, which included milling 1 ¼ inches of pavement off the road and then replacing it with an asphalt inlay. Incorporating reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in the mixes and using warm-mix asphalt technology helped save money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and conserve natural resources. The completed road has a 54 percent improved ride quality.
At NAPA, Kelly Kanaras, (888) 468-6499
At Reeves Construction Company, Tony Felix, (478) 455-0811
The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) is the only trade association that exclusively represents the interests of the asphalt producer/contractor on the national level with Congress, government agencies, and other national trade and business organizations. NAPA supports an active research program designed to improve the quality of asphalt pavements and paving techniques used in the construction of roads, streets, highways, parking lots, airports, and environmental and recreational facilities. The association provides technical, educational, and marketing materials and information to its members; supplies product information to users and specifiers of paving materials; and conducts training courses. The association, which counts more than 1,100 companies as members, was founded in 1955.

Travel Wear Tips
Most travel clothing is made from nylon or polyester. These materials are generally lighter than cotton and do a better job at moisture-wicking. They also dry very fast so you can wash them in a sink or shower and hang them to dry overnight. That means you can pack much less than you normally would.
Many are treated to be water resistant, block the sun's evil SPF rays, and some repel insects as well. I'm clumsy, pale, and mosquitoes love to suckle my blood so I'll take them all – thanks!
Most travel and adventure clothing are made to be more durable than your average article of clothing. Many of the brands that specialize in this type of gear even offer lifetime warranties.
The biggest negative to dedicated travel clothing is the price. There's a premium placed on most travel clothing but be sure to check out when things go on sale for the best deals.
One way to offset the cost is to find things you can wear for other uses than just traveling. That being said, some much of the stuff you'll find at your local outdoor retailer just looks silly.
You will wear each item of clothing much more often because you have less to choose from. Think about it, if you get 200 days of wear out of a t-shirt and you only wear it once per week it will last you 3.8 years. However, if it is part of a small wardrobe and you wear it three times per week it will only last you 1.2 years.
Also, wearing it more means that it will be washed more frequently. You also might do more walking and be more active than you would at home, wearing out the soles of your shoes and the inseams of your pants.
When selecting your clothing, weather – and particularly heat – will be the most influential criterion. But, in many places, modesty – yours and that of the local population – is crucial.
This is the case throughout the world, but particularly in Africa, the Middle East and Western Asia. For example, you won't be able to visit some places, particularly religious sites, if you're in shorts and this goes for men and women.
More importantly, on an extended trip, you will inevitably find yourself visiting some kind of official or government office, to pick up visas, get travel permits or even get an update from your own embassy.
I think it's just respectful to look moderately smart, and anyway you'll get better treatment! The same goes for other aspects of travel – entrance to an airport lounge, or a flight upgrade, are virtually dependent upon your appearance.

Dog walking in Delamere Forest
So with the hottest weekend of the year upon us and nothing to do, we decided to spend our Saturday on a lovely long dog walk with Bobbi in Delamere Forest.
Delamere is about 45 mins outside of Manchester towards Chester/Liverpool way. It's a very quaint part of the world and thrives in the sunshine, with lots of lush green leaves and trees. We drove and there's plenty of parking, very reasonably priced at £1 per hour which put you at the beginning of many walking trails of varying lengths and distances. We chose to park in Whitefield Car Park which is just across the road from a lovely walking trail through the forest and around the lake.
Bobbi was in her element, frolicking and leaping through the bushes and woods. As it was so hot, Delamere is perfect as there's lots of shade, so you can be outside for longer and it's better for dogs. We passed lots of other couples, dog-walkers and families, but it wasn't busy at all – it felt very peaceful and secluded.

Schoolhouse Rules and Office Policies
Rule #1 HAVE FUN!
Rule #2 Strive for EXCELLENCE!
Office Policies
Dr. Bolden does not believe in letting finances stand in the way of orthodontic treatment. The cost of treatment depends on the severity of the patient's problem. You will be able to discuss fees and payment options before treatment begins. We have payment plans to suit every budget. We will be happy to file for you, the necessary paper work to your insurance company such that you may receive your maximum in insurance benefits. We work hard to make orthodontics affordable.
In an effort to keep orthodontic fees down while maintaining the highest level of professional care, we have established this financial policy:
- If full payment is made at the onset of treatment, we will offer a fee discount. (If you have insurance, we will offer a discount for your portion of the payment fee that will not be covered by insurance). To fit your individual needs, financial arrangements can be made to extend your payments over a period of months.
- For your convenience, we accept payment by check, VISA, and MASTERCARD.
- In cases of serious delinquency, treatment will be discontinued, although we will make every effort to accommodate patients with temporary difficulties.

Federal campaign finance law generally limits individual donations to political candidates to $2,700 for each election the candidate runs in. Practically, this means wealthy supporters can give House and Senate candidates, at most, $5,400 each campaign cycle. But due to her state's unusual system and a not-very-analogous Federal Election Commission precedent, Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) is seeking to boost that to $8,100 her 2018 re-election — citing a primary in which she did not run.
Thanks to the Republican Party's assault on federal campaign law enforcement, Love — who calls herself a "tireless advocate of the need for personal accountability" on her official campaign website — will also likely get away with it. While her campaign admitted this week it illegally accepted contributions in excess of the legal limit and did not return them within the 60 day window, it says it plans to effectively keep most of that money.
Here's what happened: Utah is one of a small number of states that has the possibility of more than one nomination process. If a candidate garners at least 60 percent of the vote at a party nominating convention, they advance to the general election. If they do not, they must run in a primary. Federal election law treats each of those as a separate election with separate contribution limits.
In 2016, for instance, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) raised and spent money for a primary in which he never had to run. Because he had no way of knowing that he would win the nomination at the convention, the Federal Election Commission agreed to let him keep some of the money that was raised but not spent. The determination was made, without much explanation, over the recommendation of the career staff at the agency.
Mia Love's campaign, by contrast, decided to take advantage of that loophole to raise money for both the convention and primary — even though there was little indication that she would face any serious challenge. Even after it became clear she would not face a primary — and even after she won the nomination at the convention — she continued to raise money for her non-existent primary race. When the Federal Election Commission's career staff questioned it, Love's lawyers announced that the would simply keep the money raised before the convention and would refund or re-classify the money raised afterwards.
Brendan Fischer, director of the Federal Reform Program at the non-partisan Campaign Legal Center, told ThinkProgress that he does not think this comports with campaign finance law. But, the agency responsible for enforcing these laws appears to be asleep at the switch.
"I think that if there were a functioning FEC, they'd realize they'd opened a big loophole with the Lee matter and say 'Once a candidate knows they're not gonna run in the election, they can no longer keep money raised for that non-existent election,'" Fischer said. However, given that two seats are currently vacant on the six-member Commission and and action thus requires unanimous agreement by the two Democrats and two Republicans, "It seems pretty unlikely the FEC's gonna do anything about this," he added.
Paul Seamus Ryan, vice president of policy and litigation at Common Cause, echoed this assessment. "I think Mia Love and her team [are] probably banking on the dysfunction of the Federal Election Commission in pushing the boundaries of the law and that they are confident they will get away with this precisely because it's such a broken agency," he told ThinkProgress.
Ryan noted that even if Love is correct in her assessment that she can raise extra money under the Lee loophole, she violated the law requiring her to address the post-convention funds within 60 days of the convention.
"That strikes me as a clear violation — albeit a more minor violation than the violations I believe occur in keeping the primary money in excess of what was actually spent," he said. "It's a violation, there should be enforcement, [even if it's] less serious than an effective 50 percent increase in the contribution limit that results from just keeping this primary money."
Any enforcement, he said, is unlikely. "I'm not a betting man, but if I were, I wouldn't bet on any enforcement from this FEC, even for clear violations," he added.
Ryan and Fischer both agree — assuming Love gets away with this — that, moving forward, other candidates will likely use her approach in Utah and across the country.
"We've seen in other areas of federal campaign finance law examples in which one candidate, committee, campaign gets away with some clear violation, the FEC doesn't do anything, and everyone starts to do it," Ryan said. "I wouldn't be surprised if we saw that here."

For the minimal kinds, what greater than a circus? Clowns, acrobats and other energetic characters weave their magic at varying instances of the day and evening. A excellent choice of paid and free of charge points of interest to delight the tiniest tot, correct on the Strip.

Opiates are addictive and can have limited long term benefits on pain, and lots of adverse affects.
As I hope you know, what I am aim for is your long term health and happiness.
Opiates can cause dependence and long term problems in peoples lives.
The link for the recovery college is below. Please consider watching the BBC program linked to below and also looking at the other resources.
Heroin is an opiate.
There are other opiates – codeine, dihyddrocodeine, tramadol, morphine sulphate….
"Thinking About Opioid Treatment for Pain | The Royal College of Anaesthetists "
Why don't my painkillers work? is a commonly asked question, and often one without any easy answers. Long-term pain arises through many different mechanisms, and most drugs only work for one of these. Some pains do not seem to respond to any painkilling medicines.
You can get used to painkillers, including opioids, so that you need more and more to have the same effect.: This is called building up tolerance. However, we know that high doses of opioid medicines taken for long periods are unlikely to give better pain relief and are associated with a number of problematic adverse effects.

Diljit Dosanjh: Big fan of Sanjay Dutt and Ranbir Kapoor
Diljit Dosanjh, whose Hindi film "Soorma" will lock horns at the box office with Dutt biopic, says he is looking forward to see the movie as he is a huge fan of both Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt
Diljit Dosanjh, whose Hindi film "Soorma" will lock horns at the box office with Dutt biopic, says he is looking forward to see the movie as he is a huge fan of both Ranbir Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt.
"Soorma" and Dutt biopic are scheduled to be released on June 29. "The film is based on my favourite superstar Sanjay Dutt sir and my favourite actor Ranbir is playing his role and it is directed by my favourite director (Rajkumar Hirani). "All my favourite people are in a one film so I am very excited to see it. I will definitely go and watch the film," Diljit told PTI.
When asked about the clash, the 34-year-old star said, "I don't know if it is clashing or not. The producers are ideally the best people to talk about it. They are the owners they will talk about it." Diljit, who will be seen as former Indian hockey captain Sandeep Singh in "Soorma", said it was a difficult film to make.
"I have not played any games so far. I feel hockey is a tough game. I am very happy that in the second year of my acting career in Bollywood I got to do a biopic. We all have worked really hard." "Soorma" tells the story of Singh, an Indian professional field hockey player and an ex-captain of the national team. He was grievously injured after he was hit in an accidental gunshot in a train in 2006 but he did not give up and continued playing.
The "Udta Punjab" actor says despite the doctors giving up and losing all hope, the hockey player bounced back. According to Diljit, the makers of "Soorma" have tried their best to present an authentic story of Singh on screen. The actor-singer was trained for almost two months by Singh, who used to be present on the sets most of the time. Talking about the film's title, Diljit says, "'Soorma' means someone who does something that is impossible. It's the perfect title."

In sunbathing the skin is exposed to the dangerous sun beams which penetrate through the ozone hole. . Therefore the skin must be protected by protective sunbathing creams with the sufficient UV factors. They should be photostabile, water-resistant and sweat-resistant, and they should especially protect against the harmful UVB and UVA radiation. Only that way sunbathing can be considered safe.

CM/ECF FAQs
What is CM/ECF?
CM/ECF is the acronym for the Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system used by the federal judiciary to maintain case files over the Internet (CM) and allows documents to be submitted electronically (ECF). CM/ECF is operational in all federal courts throughout the country and is available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Attorneys on the system will receive electronic notices and documents are available immediately upon filing.

How to receive a login and password to Eastern District of Pennsylvania Bankruptcy Court
Currently, only registered attorneys with a login and password can submit documents under the CM/ECF system. Non-attorneys and the general public can review case documents under the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system (see below).
If an attorney has a login and password to ECF from another Federal Court (district or bankruptcy) or has attended ECF training at another federal court and is currently admitted to practice before the bar of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania he or she is eligible to receive a login and password to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania Bankruptcy Court upon submission of a Participant Registration Form.
If an attorney does not have a login and password to another court and has not taken any CM/ECF training, he or she must attend a court sponsored training class. Please visit our CM/ECF Training Information page for more information .
Can the general public view ECF cases and the documents in bankruptcy and adversary cases?
The public access component of CM/ECF requires a user to enter a Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) login and password. Public users will be subject to Pacer charges to view CM/ECF reports and queries through the Internet. PACER logins may be obtained by either contacting the Pacer Service Center at (800) 676-6856 or through its website at http://www.pacer.gov. Established PACER users will automatically have access to these sites.
The Clerk's office has public access computers available to view case information.
Since access will be limited to authorized attorneys or users, is there any way for pro se filers or attorneys without Internet access to file documents in ECF cases?
Pursuant to In Re Amendment 2 to Standing Order M-04-3009, Provisions For Electronic Filing, Standing Order M-04-3009 (EDPA Bankruptcy October 19, 2004), attorneys filing documents with the court must become authorized users and file electronically. An attorney may apply for an extension of time to comply with or a waiver from the electronic filing requirements pursuant to the requirements laid out in that order. If such a request is granted, the attorney will be required to accompany their paper filing with CD-ROM containing in portable document format (PDF) the documents filed with the Court. Attorneys who are granted extensions or waivers and are unable to create and submit computer disks in PDF format may scan the paper document utilizing a document scanner that will be available in the Clerk's Office.
The system will also be capable of accepting paper input from pro se filers and others as necessary. In that case, the Clerk's Office would convert the papers submitted to the court to electronic format by scanning and then adding the scanned image into the ECF system.
Are there guidelines for CM/ECF in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania?
Guidelines are set forth under In Re Provisions for Electronic Case Filing, Standing Order M-03-3005 and amendments thereto, as well as in the User's Manual for Electronic Case Filing.

Anthems to the Symmetry at Dusk
Ok, time for the legends. Emperor, one of the most influential and well-known Black Metal acts to this day. Founded in Norway in 1991 by drummer Tomas "Samoth" Thormodsæter Haugen, guitarist/vocalist Vegard "Ihsahn" Sverre Tveitan und bassist Haavard "Mortiis" Elefsen.
The logo was designed by Christophe Szpajdel, who claimed that he got the most recognition in his career for this logo, as well as being one of his own personal favorites (source). Not easy to say, when you know that Szpajdel made literally thousands of logos, among them a who is who of Metal giants, like Asphyx, Nargaroth or Enthroned.
A part of this logo even became a logo-like element for the band itself: the "E" in the centre of the name. This "E" is probably the Nike Swoosh of Black Metal. Well done, Christophe!

Ailes, 76 ogled her, commented about her legs, urged her to wear clothes, told her she was sexy but "too much hard work."
July 8, 2016
NEW YORK - Former Fox News Channel anchor Gretchen Carlson sued network chief executive Roger Ailes on Wednesday, claiming FOX fired after she turned down his sexual advances. Ms. Carlson's lawyers filed the Complaint in Superior Court in New Jersey's Bergen County.
Carlson is former host of a daytime show at Fox. She alleges Ailes had retaliated against her because of complaints she had made about discrimination and harassment. The 11-year Fox employee was anchoring a 2 p.m. show when she said she was fired on June 23 at the end of her contract.
She said her firing came nine months after Ailes told her during a meeting that "you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago."
In response, FOX News Chairman & CEO Roger Ailes issued the following statement: "Gretchen Carlson's allegations are false. This is a retaliatory suit for the network's decision not to renew her contract, which was due to the fact that her disappointingly low ratings were dragging down the afternoon lineup. When Fox News did not commence any negotiations to renew her contract, Ms. Carlson became aware that her career with the network was likely over and conveniently began to pursue a lawsuit. Ironically, FOX News provided her with more on-air opportunities over her 11 year tenure than any other employer in the industry, for which she thanked me in her recent book. This defamatory lawsuit is not only offensive, it is wholly without merit and will be defended vigorously."
The 50-year-old Carlson was Miss America in 1989. She alleges in her lawsuit that Ailes, who is 76, ogled her, repeatedly commented about her legs, urged her to wear clothes that enhanced her figure and told her she was sexy but "too much hard work."
Carlson alleges that in 2013, she was fired from her job hosting morning show "Fox and Friends", and her pay reduced with the transfer to a daytime slot, because she had complained about sexual harassment.
She said that one of her "Fox & Friends" co-hosts, Steve Doocy, "had created a hostile work environment by regularly treating her in a sexist and condescending way." She said that when Ailes heard of her complaints, he called her a "man hater" who needed to learn to "get along with the boys."
Carlson said that Ailes retaliated against her by cutting back on political interviews, and by ending a regular appearance she had been making on Bill O'Reilly's prime-time program, generally Fox's highest-rated show. BTW, O'Reilly himself has been on the receiving end of sexual harassment allegations
"I have strived to empower women and girls throughout my entire career," Carlson said in a statement. "Although this was a difficult step to take, I had to stand up for myself and speak out for all women and the next generation of women in the workplace."
Two days after the June 12 Orlando, Florida, nightclub massacre, Carlson told viewers that she supported reinstating a ban on assault weapons. The next day, she revealed Fox viewers had profanely attacked her, and she read some of the less obscene responses on the air.
The lawsuit demands damages in an amount to be determined at time of trial, but not to exceed the jurisdictional limits of this court.

text: Catholics are often criticized for not reading The Bible. Of course, many Catholics do study The Bible, and those who attend Mass weekly hear the entire Bible read aloud every three years. Still, many Catholics feel understandably intimidated at the thought of just picking up a Bible and starting on page one. For one thing, The Bible isn't just a book, it's an entire library. For another, the scriptures make reference to people and events thousands of years in the past, and without a little context can be difficult to understand. In 1943 Pope Pius XII issued an encyclical, Divino Afflante Spiritu, urging Catholics to study Scripture, but this doesn't have to mean simply picking up a Bible and beginning with "in the beginning". It can be helpful to have a teacher, a good commentary or guide. In this vein we recommend reading the gospels with one of N.T. Wright's books on hand. Wright is an Anglican Bishop and leading New Testament scholar. He has written a series of excellent and highly readable commentaries on scripture aimed at ordinary people. He includes his own translation of each passage followed by a discussion. A great series for group study or personal reference, we recommend beginning with one of the Gospels: Matthew for Everyone, Mark for Everyone, Luke for Everyone, or John for Everyone. Pick a Gospel and one of these guide books and read them together. Or buy the whole series and reference them as you meditate upon the readings of the day.

Norwich Bus Station passenger information communications system
Norwich bus station has advanced ticket machines and real time passenger information. On average, the bus station sees 7,800 bus movements, 200,000 passengers boarding and the information centre helps 21,000 people per week. The bus station cost £5m to build.
PEL was chosen to provide the passenger information system, due to our expertise in providing sound solutions.
The specification required announcements, both live and recorded, to be broadcast to any combination or all of the twelve bus stands, along with queue-friendly music.
The development was part of the County Council's £9.5m Government-funded scheme to improve the bus network in and around Norwich. The Public Transport Major Scheme provides a better network of bus lanes around the city, public transport interchange at the railway station, ticket machines and improved passenger information and waiting facilities.
Touch Screens - Controlling the Sound System
For ease of use, touch screens located in key areas provide a graphical representation of the bus station and enable control of the system. The PC based front end stores and routes any number of stored messages to the bus stands, along with storing over a 1000 hours of music. Automatic operation of stored messages and music may be interrupted at any time for live announcements to be broadcast.
Cloud Multi-Amplifiers and Speakers
After amplification, using proven Cloud multi-amplifiers in a convenient single housing, the loudspeakers used were specially designed and commissioned by PEL in co-operation with Macemain, the bus stand manufacturers, to fit into their vandal-resistant housings.
Infinitely Expandable for Messages and Stored Music
Being PC based, the system is infinitely expandable and adaptable, allowing for changes of stored messages and music used. The system will also allow for 'construct messaging' where key words may be assembled into a message and broadcast.

text: How to Make Money Selling Drugs: Tribeca Review 9:48 AM PDT 4/26/2013 by THR Staff FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME How to Make Money Selling Drugs Still - H 2012 The entertaining doc is more serious than it seems but has little new to say. TWITTER Matthew Cooke's directing debut uses a tongue-in-cheek conceit to look at the War On Drugs. NEW YORK — Getting up to your neck in the drug war is as easy as A-B-C in Matthew Cooke's How to Make Money Selling Drugs, a doc whose facetious instructional conceit allows it both to avoid the hand-wringing tone of many similar docs and to aim its message at the young viewers it hopes to galvanize. Offering well chosen interviewees at nearly every level of "the game," the doc has a shot with those viewers on small screens, even if it holds few revelations for moviegoers who've seen its more grown-up cinematic cousins. Though the title suggests a 1970s self-help paperback, Cooke's film treats the subject more like a video game, coaching viewers on the perils and payoffs of each "level" of involvement -- from on-the-corner pawn to cartel chief. (Old-school game sound effects underline the joke.) Using been-there interviews with former dealers who went on to pop stardom (50 Cent) and with higher-ups whose adventures could fuel feature biopics (Freeway Rick Ross, who was at one point making a million dollars a day), it suggests a seductive if challenging path from selling the occasional joint to shipping kilos of cocaine through Miami. The stories are familiar from decades of film and TV fictionalizations; in fact, Cooke uses multiple clips from The Wire to make his points. (Creator David Simon pops up late in the film to lament the way street-level policing has been weakened by federal policymaking.) But they're engagingly presented in first-person fashion, with no screenwriter's pen intervening between viewers and the men who lived these stories. (With one or two exceptions, like the unseen Detroit interviewee called Mister X, they've left drug dealing behind.) In his path up the food chain, Cooke takes a lengthy time-out to look at a "secret level": One of the best ways to make money from drugs, he reveals, is to be on the side of law enforcement. The scandalous stuff here (revolving around forfeiture laws, mandatory-minimum sentencing, and US incarceration rates) has been well investigated elsewhere, but may be news to some of this film's viewers; it also pairs well with the testimony of Barry Cooper, the onetime cop whose Road-to-Damascus conversion turned him into a leading opponent of the drug war. The film's point-of-view gets a bit muddled toward the end, as it combines a critique of deadly-but-legal drugs tobacco and alcohol with visions of a post-prohibition society. Proposing realistic solutions, one concludes, is a good deal more difficult than finding clever new ways of saying "The system is broken."

PRADA STRIKES BACK: The legal wrangling continues between Prada Japan and Rina Bovrisse, a former retail manager accusing the company's managers of sexual harassment and discrimination. Bovrisse confirmed that both Prada Luxembourg and Prada Japan have filed a countersuit against her alleging that she has made false statements. The case's first hearing was held Tuesday in Tokyo but neither Bovrisse or her lawyers attended the session. A Prada spokeswoman declined to comment but Bovrisse said the Italian house is asking for 33 million yen, or about $390,126, in damages. "I'm not really worried about it," Bovrisse said, adding that she is meeting with United Nations human rights officials in the coming weeks to discuss her case. "I didn't say anything untrue."
As reported, Bovrisse is suing Prada for about 58 million yen, or $686,236. She alleges that Prada Japan chief executive Davide Sesia asked her to "eliminate" about 30 retail staff members because he considered them overweight or unattractive. Another hearing for the case is scheduled for Sept. 3.

|Magic Sword
|Game Grumps
|Jon and Arin look for a magical sword, I dunno....
|February 14, 2013 - February 18, 2013
Magic Sword is the thirty-sixth game played by Jon and Arin on Game Grumps.
The game was sent into the show by Sherman Fong.
Episodes[edit | edit source]
Game information[edit | edit source]
Magic Sword, fully titled as Magic Sword - Heroic Fantasy, is a side-scrolling fantasy arcade game released by Capcom in 1990. The game casts the player as a hero who must fight his way through a mystical tower in order to save the world. The player can use a sword, axe, or magic, and can also rescue and recruit potential allies of various character classes, each of which has his or her own special abilities. Capcom had released the similar Black Tiger in 1987.
A single player-only port was released for the Super NES in 1992.
The main core of the gameplay is side-scrolling fighting, with some platforming elements. The player controls only the main character; all of the allies are controlled by the computer, who follow the player diligently and only attack when the player does. AI assisting characters can be switched to fit the situation or player preference. The player is allowed to carry one item that can assist him or the ally he is teamed up with.
The player has a magic meter. It fills up while the player is not attacking, but it empties completely each time the player attacks. If the player attacks when the meter is empty or is blue, the player can only perform a melee attack when the standard attack button is used. Magical allies like the priest and the wizard will not attack. If it is red but not full, the player and any magical ally teamed up with him will perform a weak ranged magical attack alongside the melee attack. If it is full, the player and any magical ally teamed up with him will perform a strong ranged magical attack alongside the melee attack. Non-magical allies will attack when the player attacks regardless of the status of the magic meter.
Players have the ability to perform a full screen attack at the cost of either one full bar of HP or a magical book that is picked up.
There are 51 floors to fight through in the game. Eight of these floors have boss characters at the end, including Drokmar himself at the end of the 50th floor. Additionally, there are seven "Secret Doors" which allows the player to bypass levels when specific maneuvers are performed.

Rhetoric in Ancient China, Fifth to Third Century B.C.E.
A Comparison with Classical Greek Rhetoric
Xing Lu
A thorough exploration of the Chinese rhetorical tradition
In Rhetoric in Ancient China, Fifth to Third Century B.C.E., Xing Lu examines language art, persuasion, and argumentation in ancient China and offers a detailed and authentic account of ancient Chinese rhetorical theories and practices in the society's philosophical, political, cultural, and linguistic contexts. She focuses on the works of ten well-known Chinese thinkers from Confucius to Han Feizi as well as on the Later Mohists, a group that represents five schools of thought-Mingjia, Confucianism, Daoism, Mohism, and Legalism. Lu identifies seven key Chinese terms pertaining to speech, language, persuasion, and argumentation as they appeared in these original texts, selecting ming bian as the linchpin for the Chinese conceptual term of rhetorical studies.
The author shows that ancient Chinese rhetorical practices shifted in emphasis from ritualistic ceremony to political persuasion, from poetic composition to philosophical debate. The rhetorical perspectives were diverse, evolutionary, and contextual and were typically characterized by one of four main elements: the moral, epistemological, dialectical, or psychological.
Lu compares Chinese rhetorical perspectives with those of the ancient Greeks. The author contends that the Greeks and the Chinese shared a view of rhetoric as an ethical enterprise and of speech as a rational and psychological activity. The two traditions differed, however, in their rhetorical education, sense of rationality, perceptions of the role of language, approach to the treatment and study of rhetoric, and expression of emotions.
The author also links ancient Chinese rhetorical perspectives with contemporary Chinese interpersonal and political communication behavior and offers suggestions for multicultural rhetoric that recognizes both culturally specific and transcultural elements of human communication.
Xing Lu is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication at DePaul University. A native of China, Lu received her undergraduate degree in China, her M.A. in Australia, and her Ph.D. from the University of Oregon. She lives with her daughter and husband in Skokie, Illinois.
"Learned, often polemical, and always stimulating, Rhetoric in Ancient China will prove to be the catalyst we have always needed to probe deeper into the collective culture of the human race. This will become a classic study and should influence all future work on the subject."—Molefi Kete Asante
"Xing Lu's rigorous scholarship has provided a unique bridge: chronological (ancient and contemporary), spatial (East and West), between multiple academic disciplines, between multiple cultures, and between rhetorical theory and practice. Her pioneering volume will be an inspirational reference point for scholars far into the future."—J. Vernon Jensen
"While she skillfully explicates ancient Chinese language and persuasion theory in a way that respects its cultural specificity, Lu also manages to compare it fruitfully to classical Greek rhetorical theory in a way that illuminates both while obscuring neither. Her book is a model of careful historical reconstruction."—Edward Schiappa
"A useful introduction to a wealth of Chinese material of potential interest over a very broad literary, historical and philosophical range …Many Classicist readers will nevertheless profit from exposure to this rich material."—Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"Xing Lu's work on ancient Chinese rhetoric certainly is an inspiring book."—Journal of Asian Studies

As a 5 year old child, Mary was betrothed to French dauphin, Francis, and sent to live with him abroad. Uprooted, disorientated, and unable to speak French, Mary would only talk to her Scottish governess or one of the twenty-two dogs at Francis's court. Mary confided in those dogs, a collection of pugs, spaniels and Maltese terriers, and in turn, Francis used them to teach his bride the French language. Her early love of dogs was established.
When she was just 18, Francis died, leaving Mary a widow in a foreign country. Devastated by the loss of the husband she had grown to love, she returned to Scotland to reclaim her throne. She took with her some of her favorite Maltese dogs.
ShareBut things were very different from when she left as a child. Scotland had become a Protestant country, and Mary was a devote Catholic. Queen Elizabeth I sat on the English throne and was deeply suspicious of her cousin, Mary's motives. Added to that Mary unwisely married another Tudor, her cousin, Lord Darnley, which put further pressure on Elizabeth to recognize Mary as successor to the English throne. (Read more.)

Tornado hits St. Louis airport
Several injuries reported
Several people at Lambert Airport in St. Louis were injured Friday after an apparent tornado touched down, spewing debris over the airfield, bursting glass in the concourse and damaging cars atop a parking garage.
The tornado was part of a series of strong storms that struck central and eastern Missouri. Unconfirmed tornadoes were reported in several counties in the St. Louis area.
Four people were taken to the hospital with minor injuries after glass shattered as the storm hit, airport spokesman Jeff Lea said. An unspecified number of others were treated at the scene for cuts blamed on flying glass.
Lea said several cars parked at the airport were damaged, as well as an Air National Guard facility. The Federal Aviation Administration said the airport was closed.
Baseball game delayed
Damage, possibly from a tornado, was also reported at several towns near the airport — Maryland Heights, Bridgeton, St. Ann, Ferguson and Florissant. Interstate 270 in that area was closed. Trees and power lines were down. A tractor-trailer was sitting on its end.
Unconfirmed tornadoes were reported near New Melle and Dardenne Prairie in St. Charles County. St. Charles County Sheriff's Lt. Craig McGuire said there were early reports of at least 20 homes damaged in the county.
"It was pretty wicked," he said.
In downtown St. Louis, Busch Stadium officials hurriedly moved Cardinals fans to a safe area as tornado sirens blared. The game with the Cincinnati Reds was delayed for hours.
The utility company Ameren Missouri reported more than 39,000 power outages.

Writings on Social Change
An outstanding trait or characteristic of importance in Sorokin's work is its concentration on social change after his arrival in America. He devoted most of his time to social change or "dynamics" as he calls it. He sought to find out what social change meant, why it has occurred, what it did to the person and the societies, and what were the eventual destinations of persons and societies in the new forms.

What does this information mean?
Steps[edit | edit source]
- Fly the recently freed Lynchpin up to Teren's Grasp.
- Return to the Sokokar Post just outside the docks area ( 896, 11, 144 ) /waypoint 896, 11, 144. Right mouse click Lynchpin and enjoy the flight up to Teren's Grasp.
- Hail Stewlin Vincent next to where you land ( 1975, 481, -888 ) /waypoint 1975, 481, -888 and finish the conversation.
- If Sokokar is destroyed, you can get it again from Stewlin Vincent.
Rewards[edit | edit source]

Previously, players had to have the young sokokar in their inventory in order to use the Sokokar Posts in Kunark. During the global travel revamp, this was changed. Completing the quest Here in my Sokokar I Feel Safest of All flags the player completing it as allowed to use the Sokokar Posts, and the young sokokar is now just an appearance pet. Unlocking the posts by discovering them is no longer required either. If you lose or destroy your young sokokar, you can still talk to Stewlin Vincent to get another one.

Is Text Messaging HIPAA Compliant?
Executive information regarding one's health should be safeguarded as it is private and confidential as it could affect people's perception of a person. In Irish football, the laws regarding the safeguarding of players medical information have since been enhanced in 2018 creating more privacy for players. However, there are instances where the health information of a person may be required to be exposed to reach certain decisions. For instance, in football for a player to be, signed by a team, they have to be certain that the player is in good health condition and can be freely transferred.
In the case where they find that someone has a certain medical condition, they are free to refer them for special medical attention. That withstanding, only the relevant information should be disbursed for the specific purposes.
Football players and managers should dedicate a good system for the reporting and sharing of health information. A HIPAA Compliant messaging service enables the confident sharing of medical information with medics and other health experts.
Characteristics of a Secure and HIPAA-Compliant Messaging Service
1. It differentiates healthcare texting from personal messaging. It is dangerous to mix business with personal issues, and it makes it worse if it involves confidential personal information. A proper texting service should segregate the personal messages from those involving healthcare information.
2. A service that requires authentication and authorization each time of access is important. Security of information cannot be taken for granted and confidential information should be encrypted with strong passwords that only the relevant people should have at their disposal.
3. A service that encrypts message data while at transit and in the network. Ordinary messages are not safe while in transit, and they should be safeguarded by creating diversion data. Encrypted data makes it difficult for hackers to know what is being communicated.
4. Encryption of data while on mobile devices. Once the message has been sent and delivered safely, it can be still hacked, and it is, therefore, important for a messaging service to provide encryption on both ends of the message.
5. Withdraw PHI from the notifications. Notifications are mostly accessible by anyone who can have access to the phone. Therefore, it is safer for the messaging service to hide the information from the screens notifications to avoid the third party from reaching the information.
6. Provide archive for messaging history. For proper HIPAA compliant texting a good HIPAA compliant messaging service can be better if it provides a basis for reference. In case of a quarrel, the previous information can be referred to make decisions.
What is HIPAA Compliance?
It denotes Health Insurance Portability and Accountability and is a chain of regulator standards directing on the lawful use and disclosure of safeguarded health information. In Ireland, health information is protected by the Health Information and Quality Authority and is responsible for the routine guidance on the issues affecting healthcare as they also double up as the authority that investigates HIPAA violations.
The regulatory rules are meant to create a culture of respecting protected information to protect the privacy, integrity, and security of safeguarded health data.
What is Safeguarded Data?
This is the demographic information that can be traced back to the identity of the patient or client. The common example of this information is the name, address, social security number, phone number, medical records, full facial photo and financial information to name but a few. This information can be accessed both electronically and through hard copies.
Most of the information in Ireland can be stored and accessed electronically due to the enacted laws that direct storage of medical information to be done electronically. It is important for all people especially players to know that their information is vital and important and that it should be safeguarded. With that in mind, it makes it better to find a messaging service that is HIPAA Compliant service that can easily protect their health information at all time.

The man behind The Hill proposal for a grass-covered cultural centre at Potters Fields has called on Southwark Council to delay its plan to sign a deal with Berkeley Homes.
Last week Southwark Council's ruling executive agreed in principle to sign a cooperation agreement with Berkeley Homes to draw up new proposals for a development on the prime riverside site next to Tower Bridge.
The deal would end years of wrangling about the controversial Ian Ritchie proposals for eight cylindrical towers on the land which is part owned by Southwark Council and part owned by Berkeley Homes.
The agreement is due to be signed on Monday afternoon – but now the man behind an alternative cultural proposal for the site has made an eleventh-hour plea for the council to allow his proposal to begin the planning process before any binding deals are signed.
"Please hold off signing a deal to allow The Hill to go through the first stages of outline planning permission," says Simon Elliott.
He says that outline planning permission "will encourage our investors that Southwark are willing to host the arts and cultural centre for the Olympics".
Elliott says that his proposal would not require any ongoing Arts Council funding, and like Shakespeare's Globe would be self-sustaining.
Although The Hill has attracted national press attention in recent weeks its backers have struggled to gain political support for their proposal from Southwark's ruling Lib Dem/Tory administration.
Elliott has secured a raft of celebrity endorsements for The Hill concept including singer-songwriter Billy Bragg. The Tooley Street Tenants' and Residents' Association has also backed the scheme.
Although Southwark's Liberal Democrats stood on a manifesto in 2006 to lead "the development of the vacant site between Potters Fields Park and Tower Bridge to include a nationally and internationally-recognised centre for arts and culture", last week's announcement of the planned Berkeley Homes deal referred only to housing on the site and omitted culture entirely.
However a Southwark Council spokesman refused to rule out a cultural component to any scheme that emerges from the collaboration between the two parties: "There is no scheme yet. A new scheme will be developed under the terms of the cooperation agreement."
Speaking in 2006 Southwark Council leader Nick Stanton told this website: "If the world had any sense Potters Fields would be to arts and culture in 2012 what the East End is to sport."
The council spokesman also confirmed that the planning appeal lodged by Berkeley Homes against Southwark Council relating to its proposal for a boutique hotel in the adjacent former St Olave's School building is outside the scope of the cooperation agreement.

A user of my tabber script discovered that when his tab headings had an ampersand character like this:

Me & My Shadow

Then the tab control displayed "&" instead of a single ampersand character.
It looks like this occurs because the JavaScript DOM function document.createTextNode() does not convert entities. However, it looks like innerHTML does convert entities, so to fix your problem find the following line in tabber.js:
and replace with the following:
DOM_a.innerHTML = t.headingText;
I'll think about this some more and if I can't find any bad side effects I'll add to the tabber code.

I am beautiful
5 comments :
I absolutely love your post!!! You are indeed beautiful Angie, and not just within. You may be currently skinny due to genetics and food issues, but that doesn't mean that once you heal you won't get some of the curves you wished for, so you can give yourself the time and tools to get where you want, for you! Not for anyone else.ReplyDelete
As for societal beauty standards: they are very fickle. They changed and will change again. Some of THE "beauty sex-bombs" from 70 years ago would be called too fat nowdays... Besides, even those norms are in only part of the world and part of our history...
When you go back far enough, have you seen statues of female deities in our mythologies? Often, with curves, even lots of them, and those were probably the high standards as it meant something.
Meanings and standards change, and shift, so might as well disregard them all, and just be you, at all times.
As for your personality, and open mindedness, and all your qualities as a care-giver : they are great, just remember to balance them with self-care, and to continue on this self-love and self-discovery, and you'll get all the relationships in due time.
You're not ugly, you're pretty, and you'll still turn heads, no worries, just from the ones who will see past the regular standard, and follow their own.
I love the humour about the bum VS boobage (insert laugh emoticon).Replies
Thank you for your comment Lulu you have made many good points regarding how standards of beauty constantly change and how its just so much easier to be ourselves.Delete
I honestly adore this post! It's really opened up my eyes. The standards of "beauty" at the moment is awful. You have to be this type and I hate that. Everyone is beautiful, no matter what. Think what the inside is like first before you look to the outside.ReplyDelete
I for a fact, think you are beautiful!

Badge Buddies role-recognition cards have become as common a sight in hospitals and medical centers as stethoscopes, scrubs and white coats.
These ubiquitous ID accessories are popular for a number of reasons. They're affordable, they meet some state ID requirements and they're easy to customize.
When doctors, nurses, technicians and other hospital employees go about their busy days, Badge Buddies go along for the ride.
However, Badge Buddies were often left exposed due to their larger size, as they don't fit in standard-sized ID badge holders.
This left Badge Buddies (and the ID cards attached to them) exposed to all aspects of hospital life, including the potentially dirty hands of patients, dust, water and sanitizer, which can be harmful to printed imagery.
Being exposed to abuse like this drastically reduces the life of both the Badge Buddy and the employee ID badge, increasing both cost and frustration.
However, there's now a quick and simple way to increase the life of both credentials.

Every year, when the summer approaches, me and "my girls" are making plans to escape the Andalusian heat, and luckily, most of the years, we are successful in our effort.
This time we purchased our fly tickets with Bitcoin Cash. Fairly easy and really quickly. Very convenient way to shop online, indeed.
If you are not a Bitcoin Cash fan, or not even cryptocurrency enthusiast, there is a big chance, that you either did not hear about BCH or in worst scenario, you fell for propaganda and lies served to you through out all social media and news.
In case you would like to learn, there is plenty resources these days. It is thanks to people, who know and believe in the power of decentralized money, and are doing their best to spread awareness about this topic.
For your answers and questions, and to see what projects, wallets, exchanges are available and in existence.
Another great resource of information and same time a platform for content creators to earn in Bitcoin Cash. Yours.org implemented micro-payments and the platform is empowering many people while also giving opportunity for us to learn.
And of-course the Bitcoin.com website, where one can even get some free BCH to get started and play around.
That is some links for today and now let me show you some pictures and tell some words about our summer holiday-adventure.
My partner Leon brought us to the airport in Malaga. On the way we stopped on the beach, on one we used to park our van back in time, when the girls were still babies and we lived that kind of life, on the road, sort of. I can not believe, they do not remember much of it. Endless walks with our dog (bless him, he is gone for few years now), building castles from sand, collecting shells, playing at nearby playground….well, at-least in me, some nostalgic thoughts appeared and the realization that time passes really quick, as well.
We check in and all went smooth. Every year it is better and better. Maybe I look less like a hippie, do not have a dog, am more secure and confident, in the process, in the languages, also the girls are sweet and helpful, not much of reasons to bug us. As mostly, I managed to get my guitar up into the plain, and not pay for it. Generally we pretend that it is a hand luggage and we do not take Ryan Air or Easy Jet. Smart Wings is the favorite for us, the people are mostly very nice, and as I say, one can take a guitar up. It is not really healthy for the instruments to be down in the luggage space. Also, things can get lost. And did in past, when I had to put her down there once. Luckily I got her back.
This year, we do not have a bed and we are sleeping in the tent, but! We have a car and that is really great! We can easily visit our friends, go for trips, move around. Better for us to have mobility than bed and be stuck at one place.
My kind and caring father bought us a tent
And my kind and caring sister lends us a car; for the summer.
So we spent nearly two weeks in Strancice, village near the capital town, Prague. Then this little car brought us to my friend Jana, who lives in the west of Czech, on boarders with Germany. They have three kids, and are nice people. The kids in Czech still have school, but they are not learning anymore, so it is OK for us to get a home here for a while. In Spain there is still school too, but we quit sooner, and most likely the girls are not coming back. None of us can stand the system. Too long, too far away, from the ordinary life of many.
The view from our window is pleasant and I like to have a breakfast and my morning coffee over there.
And we also made a campfire and had a nice evening together, outside, on fresh air. Just on time, now it is very rainy and cold here. Janicka even made a fire inside, to keep the cold and humidity out.
As for improving of my physical and mental state, and working on myself, getting discipline to be part of my life for general improvement, I do eat better. I move more. I started to run, I do the Indian style, like 100 m run, 100 m quick walking, but no stopping. After 15 – 20 min I start to sweat and turn back. Only, I have sore lower back, and just when It got better, after acupuncture and exercises, and I went running (with all the kids) it got worst again, probably to show me, that running is yet not for me.
I wrote my Summer blog #1 about my acupressure experience on yours.org, here is the link, if it is of your interest. I have needles in my body for the first time!
Next story will be from Germany, I went there with my younger daughter Paola, we were basking, and met a first Venezuelan person in real life, and introduced him to Bitcoin Cash. I will write about it soon, here or on Yours.
If you like to subscribe to my blog, I will be motivated to write more. I am not too social person, with huge social followings, and If you share this blog with your friends, it will help me out in spreading the word. Writing a blog and be consistent in writing, it is a journey, I am learning, and trying to combine my passions and interests. Sharing it out with the world. The time will come and I will share my know-how from alternative music theory, and more. Step by step. At first, slowly, readers are needed. And experience in expressing myself. May good things keep happening.
Thank You.
