This is a story about love, faith, and hope. It is a story that continues every day, time and time again.
When I was a little girl, I would tell my Mother how much I loved her time and time again. When she was ill, I would say to her how much she meant to me and how much I enjoyed spending time with her time and time again. In my heart, I needed her to know how important she was. Somehow in my silly way, I believed if told her time and time again, the love I felt would permanently attach itself, and travel with her to heaven. Even now, five years later, I look up and say those words I said time after time.
When I was a little girl, before my Mother married the wonderful man who became my Dad, I would look up to heaven and ask Jesus to send me my very own Daddy to love. I asked this time after time. My prayer was answered. And the answer repeated itself time after time, day after day until his death. To this day, I find myself, looking up and thanking him; time after time.
As a mother, I encouraged my children time and time again, even now as adults with families of their own I continue with the message. Each morning, as I write a text to them, I always end with, I believe in you and love you more than words can say. I say these words time and time again, in hope that they will have faith in themselves and the choices they make.
And to my Grandchildren and Great-Grandsons, I hope my love for all of them will instill a growing appreciation for everyone. I tell them they are my sunshine, time and time again.
Our family, friends and those who cross our daily path, need to know how important they are to us. It's the smiles, the hello, the hugs, the time, and the caring we give; time and time again, that will make all the difference in their lives.
Jesus loves us so much. His love shines through, time and time again in the little things and the big things that happen in our lives. And yes, even in the hard times, when it is difficult to feel His love. I can assure you that He is there, time and time again.

Whatever your particular web-based operation is, whether it's just a business informational site or indeed if you're operating a full-scale online business (and everything in between), at some or other point in time you have to pay attention to Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). After all, your competitors are doing it and you best believe they're spending quite a bit of money to rank higher than you on the popular search engines.
Organic traffic is indeed the best traffic you can ever get, but the game has changed now and it's about more than just building a couple of backlinks and filling in clever meta tags. In order to realise any sort of success with SEO, you pretty much have to rope in the services of an SEO company because it is that much of a full time job. The SEO scene changes so dynamically that trying to keep up with the technicalities yourself will inevitably steal a lot of time and focus away from your core business, but if you already make use of the services of an SEO company, there are some signs you need to look out for which would indicate to you that it's just not working out.
You're Not Getting Results
Granted, SEO results can never be guaranteed and SEO companies can only do so much to try and get your website indexed higher up on the search engine results rankings. However, if you're paying a lot of money and results aren't forthcoming, it may be time to switch up your SEO companies. It can be tricky to make the final decision of when to make the change because the effects of an SEO campaign can naturally take a while to kick-in, but you should discuss timeframes with your SEO company as to when you can expect certain milestone and results. If they're not forthcoming by then, it could be time for a change.
The SEO Company Doesn't Update You
A legit SEO company should firstly set a mandate with you regarding exactly how and when they're going to deliver updates. Secondly, they need to stick to that mandate and if they don't then some warning lights should be flashing.
Really good SEO companies will even go the extra mile and update you about the changes in the SEO trends so that you also gain a better understanding of the process, such as Google's latest algorithmic tweaks to their ranking system.

Edward Espenett "Ed" Case (born September 27, 1952) is an American Democratic politician who represented Hawaii in the United States House of Representatives from 2002 to 2007. Case, a Blue Dog Democrat, first came to prominence in Hawaii as majority leader of the Hawaii State Legislature and for his campaign for Governor of Hawaii in 2002. First elected to the House of Representatives in 2002 in a special election to fill the seat of Patsy Mink, who died of pneumonia, Case represented Hawaii's 2nd congressional district until 2006, when he chose not to run for another term in the House of Representatives so he could challenge Senator Daniel Akaka in the Democratic primary for Akaka's U.S. Senate seat. Case lost the primary election 53%–46%.
In 2010, Case was one of two Democratic candidates in the special election for Hawaii's 1st congressional district. With the Democratic vote split, Republican Councilman Charles Djou triumphed. After initially planning to run in the September Democratic primary for the general election nomination, Case announced that he was dropping out.[1] Colleen Hanabusa, Case's fellow Democrat in the special election, went on to win the primary and the general election against Djou. In April 2011, Case announced his candidacy in the Democratic primary for the Senate election in 2012 after Daniel Akaka announced his retirement.[2] Case lost to Congresswoman Mazie Hirono, who also beat him ten years previously in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.
In July 2013, Case announced that he was joining Outrigger Enterprises Group and that his political career was "likely" to be over.[3]
Case was born in Hilo, the eldest of six children. In 1970, Case graduated from Hawaii Preparatory Academy in Kamuela. After high school, Case traveled for a year in Australia, where he worked as a jackaroo on a New South Wales sheep station, and in New Zealand. Case then attended Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where he obtained his bachelor's degree in psychology in 1975.
In 1981, Case graduated from the University of California Hastings College of Law in San Francisco with a juris doctor.
From 1981 to 1982, Case served as law clerk to Hawaii Supreme Court Chief Justice William S. Richardson. From 1983 to 2002, he worked at the law firm Carlsmith Ball in Honolulu, where he became a partner in 1989, and served as managing partner from 1992 to 1994, when he was first elected to the Hawaii House of Representatives. Case resigned his partnership upon winning election to the United States Congress in 2002. Case told the Honolulu Star-Bulletin in January 2007 that he will work for the Honolulu-based law firm of Bays Deaver Lung Rose & Baba.[4]
Case got his first taste of political life as Legislative Assistant to Congressman and then Senator Spark Matsunaga in Washington, D.C. from 1975 to 1978. In 1985, Case won his first election, to the Mānoa Neighborhood Board of Honolulu. He became its chairman in 1987, a position he held until leaving the board in 1989.
In 1994, he decided to run for Hawaii's 23rd House District. He won the Democratic primary with 51% of the vote in a five candidate field.[5] In the general election, he defeated Green party nominee Toni Worst 59%–41%.[6] In 1996, he won re-election to a second term with 67% of the vote.[7] In 1998, he won re-election to a third term with 70% of the vote.[8] In 2000, he won re-election to a fourth term unopposed.[9]
Case served four two-year terms in the Hawaii House of Representatives from 1994 to 2002, where he focused on basic change in Hawaiʻi governance. In 1999, after Case led an effort to replace the leadership of the State House, his Democratic peers elected him Majority Leader.
A conservative Democrat by Hawaii standards, Case sought to change the current way state government operated and repeatedly warned that Hawaii was not addressing long-term fiscal challenges. On the last legislative day of 2000, Case said in a floor speech: "If you cannot make those choices, please get out of the way, because you are just making it harder for the rest of us."[10]
On January 21, 1997, in the House Judiciary Committee, Case cast the lone nay vote against advancing HB117, the bill that would allow a referendum to effectively, constitutionally ban gay marriage.[11] He and six others opposed the bill again in the full house vote.[12] When he was up for re-election in November 1998, he publicly opposed the referendum. His reasoning: "changing the Constitution would go against its intended purpose — protecting the rights of the minority against the will of the majority."[11] Leading up to the November election, polls consistently predicted that the measure would pass by 70–75%, a prediction that was accurate.[13] Due to the measure's popularity, only three other politicians or candidates in Hawaii joined his position.[14]
In 2001, Case co-sponsored an unsuccessful civil unions bill.[15]
In early 2001, at the beginning of his fourth term in the Hawaii State House, Case chose not to continue as Majority Leader. In October 2001, Case announced his candidacy for Governor of Hawaii in 2002. Case's initial opponent was the early favorite in the race, Mayor of Honolulu Jeremy Harris, also a Democrat. Case supporters were discontented with the "Democratic Party of Hawaii machine" that had ruled the state for 40 years and perceived to have left the economy stagnant, a "machine" to which Harris was closely tied.
Despite high polling numbers, Harris abruptly dropped out of the race in May 2002 because of ongoing campaign spending investigations. Lieutenant Governor Mazie K. Hirono dropped out of her race for Mayor of Honolulu to challenge Case in the primary. A later entrant into the Democratic primary was D. G. "Andy" Anderson, the former Republican state chair and aide to former Honolulu Mayor Frank F. Fasi. Case told Hawaii voters that his campaign was one of government reform and the future as opposed to Hirono and Anderson who represented the "Old Boys' Network" and a status quo past.
In one of the closest primary elections for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in Hawaii history, Hirono beat Case, 41% to 40%, with Anderson a distant third with 17%. In the general election, Hirono faced Republican Linda Lingle in the general election; Lingle's campaign reform theme was called Agenda for New Beginnings; Lingle won.
U.S. Congresswoman Patsy T. Mink died on September 28, 2002, one week after the primary election, leaving her 107th Congress (2001–2003) seat vacant. She was subsequently posthumously reelected to the 108th Congress (2003–2005) in November of the same year. On November 30, 2002, Case was elected in a special election to fill her vacancy in the remaining weeks of the 107th Congress, gaining over 50% of the vote in a field of over forty. Although he didn't live in the 2nd, the federal Constitution only requires that a House candidate be a resident of the state he or she wishes to represent. During the special election, Case pointed out that he grew up on the Big Island.
Case immediately ran for reelection in a second special election on January 4, 2003 for Mink's 108th Congress seat, going up against more than three dozen other candidates. Other Democrats included Matt Matsunaga and Colleen Hanabusa. Republicans included Barbara Marumoto, Bob McDermott, and Frank Fasi. Case won that election with 43 percent of the vote.
In 2004, Case was challenged by Republican Mike Gabbard, a social conservative who focused almost exclusively on gay marriage issues. Case won his first full term with 63% of the vote.[16]
Case sponsored 36 bills between 2003–2006. Of those bills, Congress passed H.Con.Res.218 recognizing 100 years of Filipino-American immigration to America, the Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park Addition Act (H.R.546 / Public Law No. 108-142), legislation (H.R. 2030 / Public Law No: 108-5) designating the U.S. Postal Service facility located in Paia, Hawaii as the Patsy Takemoto Mink Post Office Building, and the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge Expansion Act (H.R. 2619 / Public Law No. 108-481). Two of his other bills were included in subsequent legislation. H.R. 3535, to include country of origin labeling for macadamia nuts, was included in the 2008 Farm Bill. Congresswoman Mazie Hirono reintroduced the Kalaupapa Memorial Act (H.R. 4529), which she added to Public Law No. 111-11.
While Case entered the House of Representatives too late to cast a vote on the Iraq War Resolution, he supported the Iraq War throughout his tenure in the House. As late as 2006, he opposed a firm timetable for withdrawal.[17]
Case often sided with Republicans on major tax legislation. He was one of only 34 Democrats (who sided with 196 Republicans) to support reducing the estate tax.[18] He also was one of 15 Democrats (who sided with 229 Republicans) to support lower taxes on investment income.[19]
In 2005, Case voted for Rep. Jeb Hensarling's (R-TX) amendment to eliminate funding for PBS, NPR, and Title X family planning. He was unusual in being the only Democrat to support the amendment, which failed 102–320.[20][21]
Case also introduced the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands National Marine Refuge Act (H.R. 2376), which would have protected the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands by making them a national marine refuge. In June 2006, President Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument under the authority of the Antiquities Act of 1906.
He has co-sponsored 808 bills during the same time period. He only missed 148 (6%) of 2435 votes in his tenure.[22]
Case challenged Senator Daniel Akaka in the Democratic primary election. He lost the September primary, 53-46%. Akaka centered his campaign on the difference in support for the U.S. intervention in Iraq: Akaka was one of only a handful of Democratic Senators to vote against the use of force resolution against Iraq in 2002; Case, while not in Congress at the time of the vote, had said he would have voted in support of the resolution.[24]
On March 29, 2009, Case announced his candidacy for Congress to represent Hawaii's 1st congressional district being vacated by Neil Abercrombie.[25] His main opponents were fellow Democrat Colleen Hanabusa and Republican Charles Djou. Both Case and Hanabusa represented different wings of the party, Case being a conservative Blue Dog Democrat, while Hanabusa is preferred by the liberal wing.[26] Hanabusa secured the endorsement of EMILY's List, the local party establishment, and local labor unions.[26][27] Case was at odds with the party establishment over his primary challenge to U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka in 2006 when he was still Representative of the 2nd district.
Both Case and Hanabusa proposed that the other drop out for the sake of party unity.[28] The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) dispatched an aide to the state in the hopes of at least ensuring no other Democrats enter the race.[26] It was unlikely either Democrat would drop out; both represented different views and both already faced off in a 2002 special election for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district, which Case won.[26][29] On May 10, 2010, the DCCC said it would not spend any further resources on the race, preferring to save those resources for the November election.[30]
The election was held on May 22, 2010. Djou became the first Republican to win a Hawaii congressional election since 1988. He won with a plurality of 39% of the vote. Hanabusa came in second with 31% and Case came in third with 28% of the vote.[31][32]
Case initially said he would run in the next primary against Hanabusa, but later changed his mind and dropped out of the race, citing party unity and his third-place finish.[1]
On April 10, 2011, Case announced his candidacy for U.S. Senate, to replace retiring U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka.[33] Hirono once again defeated him, this time by a 17-point margin, 58%–41%.[34]
The Ed Case Papers were donated to the University of Hawaii at Manoa Library and are held in the Hawaii Congressional Papers Collection of the Library's Archives & Manuscripts Department. The Papers consist of materials from his years in the U.S. Congress and from his terms in the Hawaii Legislature, as well as campaign material from his successful and unsuccessful (state governor, U.S. senator) campaigns. The papers were processed in 2007 by archivist Ellen Chapman, and opened for research January 3, 2037.
Case has two children from his first marriage, from 1988 to 1998: James (b. 1988) and David (b. 1990). In 2001 Case married Audrey Nakamura, a former classmate from Hawaii Preparatory Academy, who is a flight attendant with United Airlines. Case became reacquainted with her during their 30th class reunion. "I was in a definite, major-league crush with her for two years back in seventh and eighth grade," Case said in an interview. Audrey had two children of her own, David (b. 1983) and Megan (b. 1986), from a previous marriage.
His cousin Steve Case is the co-founder of America Online, as well as the former chairman of Time Warner, and is still one of Time Warner's biggest individual shareholders.

Social Media Disrupting Business Models: The focus on the customer is more important each year, as they become more connected and informed. Tools to connect, compare, and select have made manufacturing the most upstream value chain beholden to these pressures.
IOT increasing Efficiencies and Employment Opportunities: The proliferation of sensors, automated systems, and complex software/hardware solutions continues to yield powerful data and analytic needs. If you want to improve labor efficiency and save on service costs, this is where you need to look.
Re-Shoring and Next-Shoring: Supply chains, specifically in manufacturing, will begin to move within and out of Asia, as labor and operational costs rise. Companies are also looking to move operations closer or back within their shores as automation is drastically reducing costs.

If Redfin is going to offer the best service in our markets, our agents have to know more about real estate, which means we have to amass a gigantic real estate knowledge-base, combining dry academic research with an anarchist's cookbook of right-now street-smarts.
The latest knowledge-base entry, posted by email this Saturday, was Ron Lieber's excellent advice on whether to work directly with a lender or to use a mortgage broker to shop for the best rates. My interpretation of the article was that working directly with a lender will save you $300 – $400.
It being Saturday night, superstar Redfin associate agent Chelsea Mitchell immediately zapped back, copying everyone, with her own interpretation of events here in Seattle. (Actually, Chelsea is one of the hippest people in town, so she probably wrote this — with one magnificently painted fingernail and an iPhone — at a rave.)
Chelsea often likes brokers better because under-staffed banks are now struggling to get deals done on their own. And Chelsea should know: she is responsible for working — night and day — with our Seattle lead agents to drive the escrow process, with as many as 50 active deals, and she is an unholy annihilating force if anything comes between a Redfin client and whatever that client was promised.

Subject: RE: Broker vs. Direct to Lender? NYT Recommends Going Direct
Great article but this is the quote that really jumped out at me.
"All of this is happening just as borrowers need plenty of guidance. Mortgage rates are low, fueling demand for refinancing. But banks' loan rules seem to change by the day, and many banks don't have the staff to handle the volume."
Banks like BECU (Boeing Employee Credit Union) and Bank of America are so busy that the loan processor becomes almost MIA during the entire process. This leaves buyers completely freaked out, wondering if their loan is being processed, if the appraisal came back, etc.
Lately, banks are so busy that the buyer ends up needing to ask for an extension. This can then put the buyer in a sticky situation and sometimes a costly one too: there can be a per diem charge stipulated in the contract for every day you don't close.
So, that said, I'd beg to differ over how much of a "better deal" you really are getting. I'd be willing to pay the mortgage broker a little extra to be reachable, explain processes and get my loan processed on time, just for peace of mind.
Just something to keep in mind when advising our clients on loans…
Sara Masey, similar to Chelsea in many ways except, possibly, for the rave, chimed in with similar experience working on tons of deals in Southern California.
I do agree that there is a trade-off. Going through a broker -– you definitely have "a live person" to go to with questions and status updates.
With banks — Bank of America, Countrywide, etc. -– they are completely under-staffed and you rarely speak to the same person twice so it is very frustrating not only to the clients but to the Realtors as well. You think you have fulfilled their underwriting requirements and then receive another list a few days before loan docs are to be in escrow — asking for some of the same items as on the previous list even though those items were already sent.
And here is the original summary of Ron's article…

Subject: Broker vs. Direct to Lender? NYT Recommends Going Direct
Hi everyone,
The NYT published a piece today arguing that consumers may get a better deal going direct to a lender rather than a mortgage broker.
Here's the practical upshot:
- Lenders often offer lower fees: The U.S. government last year published a study of 7,560 30-year fixed-rate FHA mortgages that closed in 2001. When mortgage brokers were involved, consumers paid $300 to $425 in fees, "other loan characteristics being equal."
- Brokers are getting cut out: Chase no longer works with mortgage brokers, limiting their ability to shop for the best loan.
- Take a weekday off to compare rates all at the same time: the NYT recommends picking one type of loan, say a 30-year fixed-mortgage, and comparing prices all on the same day, so rates don't change. Who to call: credit union; a few community banks; a big national bank; the bank that has your checking account; your current lender (refi only); a mortgage broker
- Get a straight answer on how a broker is paid: if you're using a broker, ask point-blank if his or her yield-spread premium (what the bank pays the broker) would be lower if you were in a different loan.
- Ask the mortgage broker if he guarantees the rate and costs in a good faith estimate (GFE): one broker quoted in the article says, "If I'm wrong on my good faith estimate, then I pay you." If your broker won't eat any costs beyond the GFE projection, he's playing you.
- Ask the broker to sign a document promising to be your fiduciary: a fiduciary is someone who is legally liable if she does not put your interests ahead of her own. This may not be practical advice, since most consumers aren't comfy writing their own contract, though it could be a simple letter: "In signing this document, I agree to act in the next 60 days as [Client Name]'s fiduciary in investigating and recommending a loan, putting his interests ahead of my own." Of course, a real estate agent should also be a fiduciary.
Regarding #2, we here at Redfin would probably also add that it is probably a good idea when buying an REO to call the bank selling the property; some banks require buyers to get a pre-approval at least from their own lending arm, and there may be less hassle over the assessment…
So now Chelsea is sitting in my office, and we both agree that if you work with a lender directly instead of a mortgage broker, you can save a few hundred dollars in fees but you need to make sure the loan officer doesn't screw up your closing. Thanks to Ron for doing the original research, and to Chels and Sara for providing some juicy local insight. Let us know if you'd like to hear more of these discussions, as we can start posting plenty more from the knowledge-base to the blog.
In the meantime, what has your experience been comparing mortgage brokers to lenders?

Question: What could be worse than Citizens United?
Answer: Possibly…United States v. Danielczyk and Biagi
Some may recall that two of Hillary Clinton's fundraisers, William Danielczyk and Eugene Biagi were indicted for some serious campaign finance violations. They had reimbursed individual campaign contributors with funds from corporate sources. An act that is not ostensibly protected as "speech" under Citizens United because the funds were direct campaign contributions to a candidate. Citizens United only paved the way for PAC funds and issue ads — indirect corporate spending.
These two fundraisers have set-off a legal firestorm that may dramatically enhance the corporate powers found in Citizens United. (Brace yourself, Democrats also abuse campaign finance laws.)
Intitially, a U. S. District Court dismissed the charges, citing Citizens United, but early last summer the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the charges claiming that direct corporate-to-candidate expenditures are not allowed under Citizens United.
Last November, Danielcyzk and Biagi filed with the U. S. Supreme Court a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, which is Latin for a legal mulligan — a do over. They essentially asked the high court to review the case and reverse the COA ruling.
In late January, the Department of Justice chimed in with an amicus brief to SCOTUS arguing that the court should not take the bait. The court will decide in a few weeks whether or not to hear the case.
Okay, so what does all this mean and what might occur?
SCOTUS may possibly remand the case back to the lower court where it would be heard (which is not to say either party couldn't petition the high court again.) On the other hand, it could find itself on the high court docket — a political hot potato, even for those appointed for life. Chief Justice Roberts amazed everyone (and probably himself) when he exercised forbearance in last year's Obamacare ruling. Judicial scholars speculated that he was focused on legacy over partisan politics when he found a loophole where counsel failed to do so. He is cognizant that those same judicial scholars lined-up after the Citizens United ruling to defame it as one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in history…those being the same scholars that will document history, and his tenure on the court. Oh, books will be written!
Worst case scenario: the high court upholds the original district court dismissal — how would that further corrupt the campaign landscape?
The DOJ amicus brief makes the case that wealthy contributors could incorporate multiple times enabling them to skirt laws that limit individual campaign contributions. Additionally, they would be able to hide their identities and motives behind those dummy corporations.
Another potential problem is that once those millions are directly deposited in a candidate's coffers the money would have even fewer restrictions attached to it. Media outlets, primarily television, are required by law to fact-check issue ads and pull them if they are scurrilous (although they rarely do, it's a lawsuit waiting to happen…). But, candidate ads are wide open to making wildly false accusations, with no liability attached to the media outlet. Also, candidates are given a special price, the political rate, which affords them considerably more buying power than issue ads and PAC money. Presidential candidates are additionally rewarded with priority airtime and they may bump downticket races right off the airways. The big dollars would rule supreme.
It would be Citizens United — on steriods.

The book of Mormon describes an advanced civilization that had metal weapons, agriculture and machinery. Is there any evidence of this in the archaeologicl record?
In the mid 1800's people in Michigan began uncovering artifacts from ancient mounds by the thousands. Tablets that contained writing and pictures of what appeared to be a lost race of people. But these controversial finds have been hevily critisized by main stream archaeology because they we're found by amateur archaeologist hundreds of years ago.

« The New York School For The Irony-Challenged | Main | UN Aid Workers And Peacekeepers Still Tricking Out Girls »
The news services are abuzz with the announcement from Teheran that Iran will end 25 years of silence between the Islamic Republic and the US. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will write a letter to George Bush in an attempt to ease tensions between the two nations:
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is writing to U.S President George W. Bush in an attempt to ease mounting tensions between Tehran and the West, an Iranian official said on Monday. ...
Government spokesman Gholamhossein Elham said a letter from Ahmadinejad to Bush would be delivered later on Monday to the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, which represents U.S. interests in the Islamic Republic.
"In this letter, he has given an analysis of the current world situation, of the root of existing problems and of new ways of getting out of the current delicate situation in the world," he told a weekly news conference.
Ahmadinejad had said earlier in the day that he would announce some "important news." It was not immediately clear whether he was flagging the letter to Bush.
One has to wonder what Ahmadinejad would say in a letter to Bush that he hasn't already said publicly. Perhaps the Iranian president can explain more of what he meant when he called for the annihilation of Israel and the United States. Maybe he will instruct Bush on the true history of the Holocaust. It could be an attempt to convert the Christian to Islam, considering Ahmadinejad's belief in the coming global rule of Islam.
Whatever it is, clearly it will not be an agreement to suspend nuclear enrichment and to abide by IAEA rules and regulations. Until Iran agrees to stop its nuclear program, Ahmadinejad can get all the pen-pals he wants, but the UN has to take action against Iran. If the UNSC fails to enforce its own resolutions again with anything more than a sternly-written memo, there will be no deterrent for other nations to go rogue on nukes.
Bush can tell Ahmadinejad that in his reply, but I suspect that the Iranian president will already know the US position. What matters is whether the rest of the world is ready to enforce the NPT, or whether it has become a dead letter, thanks to UN fecklessness.Sphere It View blog reactions

Portraits and Profiles by Edmond Y. Azadian
The essays in this collection are not only personal records, documenting Azadian's literary experiences and convictions, but also the fruit of long analysis. The author engages his readers to the major themes in Armenian literature, and acquaints them with the modern masters in Armenian prose and poetry. Azadian's critical methodology is to penetrate his subject matter via the writer's personal life and professional output. A disciplined, self-described modernist, he views his literary figures in the light of originality and modernism.
Selected Poems of Zareh Khrakhouni
Translation of selected poems of one of the pioneers of modern Armenian poetry, Zareh Khrakhouni.
SELECTED WRITINGS OF VAHRAM MAVIAN (1926-1983): A Unique Voice in Armenian Diaspora Literature
Translated selection of the writings of Vahram Mavian, a unique voice in contemporary Armenian Diaspora literature, which expresses the concerns and anxieties surrounding the first generation Armenians living outside their homeland. Expresses his concern with personal problems - the precarious state of Armenian language and culture, the preservation of cultural identity, and the diminishing interest of the next generation in their cultural legacy.

In computing, garbage collection (also known as GC) is a form of automatic memory management. The garbage collector or collector attempts to reclaim the memory used by objects that will never be accessed again by the application or mutator. Garbage collection was invented by John McCarthy around 1959 to solve the problems of manual memory management in his recently devised Lisp programming language.
Many computer languages require garbage collection, either as part of the language specification (e.g. Java, C#, Dylan) or effectively for practical implementation (e.g. formal languages like lambda calculus); these are said to be garbage-collected languages. Other languages were designed for use with manual memory management, but have garbage collected implementations (e.g., C, C++). In either case, it is far easier to implement garbage collection as part of the language's compiler and runtime system, but post hoc GC systems exist, including ones that do not require recompilation. The garbage collector will almost always be closely integrated with the memory allocator.

Lansoprazole belongs to a group of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors. It is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, a condition where your stomach produces too much acid. The acid travels from your stomach to your food pipe causing irritation and a burning sensation. It can also be used to treat indigestion and heartburn, caused by excess stomach acid. Lansoprazole is able to reduce the symptoms associated with these conditions, such as:
Proton pumps in the stomach are responsible for producing stomach acid. Lansoprazole works to reduce the amount of acid produced, which helps to relieve symptoms caused by excess acid production. It also allows your food pipe to heal, if it has been damaged by acid that has travelled from the stomach upwards.
You should take one capsule with water, once daily around half an hour before breakfast. Our clinicians prescribe lansoprazole for acid reflux and the usual dose is one capsule to be taken once daily in the morning. You should only take one dose, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise. If you have been told by your doctor to take two doses, you should take the second dose around half an hour before your dinner. Tablets or capsules should not be crushed. If you have difficulty in swallowing tablets or capsules, you should order orodispersible tablets. These tablets can be placed under the tongue and dissolve into the bloodstream.
Lansoprazole taken to treat acid reflux usually provides relief almost straight away. It may take a few days for the full effect of lansoprazole to be seen. If you do not experience any relief from symptoms after the first week, you should contact your doctor who may wish to carry out tests, or prescribe an alternative treatment.
Lansoprazole is safe to take with most medication. If you are taking the following medication, you should consult your doctor, as you may need to be monitored.
We can only prescribe lansoprazole if our clinicians feel that it is safe to do so. If any of the following apply to you, you should see your doctor, who may wish to monitor you before prescribing lansoprazole:
If you are experiencing any of the following, please see your GP as soon as possible:
You may need to have tests carried out, and you should not delay going to see the doctor.
Lansoprazole should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. You should visit your doctor if you discover you are pregnant whilst taking lansoprazole. You should discontinue treatment and seek an alternative. There are similar treatments which are suitable for those that are pregnant or breastfeeding.
We have an experienced clinical team who will only provide a short-term treatment for acid reflux. There are a number of reasons for this:
If your doctor has authorised long term use of lansoprazole, and you wish to purchase more than a one-month supply, you can call us to speak to one of our pharmacists.
There is no interaction between alcohol and lansoprazole itself. However, alcohol increases the amount of acid produced by the stomach. Our clinical team recommend avoiding alcohol when experiencing acid reflux, in order to fully benefit from treatment.
You can safely buy lansoprazole online from our UK regulated pharmacy. If it is safe to do so, our clinical team will issue a prescription once a consultation has been completed online. The prescription is then dispensed in our pharmacy, and dispatched using a next day delivery service. Our pharmacy team is available at any time from 9am – 7pm, Monday to Friday.

ReClock v0.99j is out.
I've already begun work on v3.10, I'm making headway into making a Graphless interface for media mode.
As media playback is a lot more complex, it won't me as easy as the Graphless DVD Interface, but it will
allow you for complete playback control. Hopefully the era of filter conflicts will be over.
I've finally done what programmers loath most. I've updating the Zoom Player online
documentation for version 3.00. It took several hours,
but I think I've updated everything so that old references are no longer there anymore.
Updated the Media Setup article. Fixed a few glitches and included
a new section about Windows Media Format.
The moment nearly 6 month in the making is finally here, Zoom Player v3.00 final is done.
As any of you that have followed the development of this version know, the number of changes
and features included in this release is magnanimous (hehe, had to use a big word). The change
list alone is over 30k of text data alone.
I highly recommend upgrading from any previous version, and I recommend making a clean install.
you should also read this
forum post regarding file association changes and if you're interested in changes from RC3 (yes there are a few, even
a new feature or two), read the forum announcement.
If you would like to get straight to the point, here is
The full Change List since v2.90.
The Download Mirror List (more mirrors will be listed in the next 24h).
You will notice that Zoom Player has now been split into two versions. The Standard version which is still
the most powerful media player on the market today and the Professional version which includes the DVD Front-End
playback capabilities.
The professional version is a commercial release. As such it's released on a fully functional trial basis and requires
registration once the evaluation period is complete.
The online documentation will take me a few days to update as the amount of new information is staggering, so bear with me.
Ok, too many code changes to release a final version without further testing, so here is the final release candidate,
quite a few important changes and a few other tweaks and fixes, so make sure you
Check it out.
Starting to close in the Zoom Player v3.00 final, here is
Release Candidate 2.
Lots of fixes and even several nice features, the biggest one being full Unicode support.
There was a few issues with the initial launch of RC1, so if the downloaded archive does not match the sizes listed below,
download the files again:

It's finally here, Zoom Player v3.00 release candidate 1, including the Professional version. This is a major release,
with a slick new skin and lots of features, changes and fixes (all for the better I hope).
For additional details, click here.
A new version of Reclock is out (0.99i).
You may want to check it out.
Yes, v3.00 is coming along nicely. But I would like to diverge. In all the rush to release a faster 3D driver,
it seems NVIDIA is releasing official drivers with inferior video quality. I've written a small post on the matter
with a few screenshots to back it up. You can read all about it
Looks like there's a new version of Reclock out.
Reclock is a DirectShow filter allowing you to achieve faster than x2 fast forward rates in Zoom Player and improves image
smoothness by making sure frame changes are synchronized with the Video Card refresh rate.
Here is a Limited beta 6 of Zoom Player. This beta is limited to Media Mode playback. The code has gone a massive
internal (and quite a bit of external) change. There are tons of new features, changes and fixed. Beta 6 could frankly
be a version onto itself.
Still here? Go check it out.
It's been a long time since the last update, but I haven't been idle.
While the next Zoom Player beta isn't quite ready for release,
here is a list of
the new features I already implemented to wet your appetite.

Coming from backgrounds where being a single mum is rarely a lifestyle choice and more of a reality that is unfairly stigmatized. The lack of support for single mums in society has severe affects for society at large. This pain is conveyed by various artists, recently Ard Adz in the first verse of "Call Me Dirty":
Last year having read a moving piece by Sian Anderson, "No right time: Harsh realities of being a mother in the music industry", it became apparent this was not only an issue that prevalent in music. Having experienced the hardship of single motherhood, one thing I learnt is that your network is networth. This is why organisations such as "Single-minded Success" are so vital. Their mission is to empower single parents and create a network of like minded people so that families can flourish in spite of challenges and achieve. There event on Saturday 4th February (10am-2pm), "Redefining Success as a Single Mum" takes place in Citadines Holborn. For more information, click here.
Having reached out to Single Minded Success, there were 3 vital pieces of advice that really stuck with me in terms of coping with being a single mum:
When we fully embrace the highs and lows of being a single parent you find you no longer care about society's stereotypes and what peers think of you and your single status. Any negativity you receive should be used as motivation to excel above the single parent stigma.

OMG I totally love how these blue pictures are perfect with the design of my blog, hihi.
But yes I went for a little shopping and I bought only blue itmes. Okay I also bought my Daily make up brush cleaner from Sephora. But I really need it because I'm a clean brushes freak!
Who is the boss by Essie arrived in the mail yesterday && I was super excited to try it out. It looks abosultely gorgeous ! you only need one very thin coat to get the true color from the bottle. I'm super in love. And it was deff worth to stand in my pajamas in the elevator with 8 people who thought I was weird.
And I also got these two adorable tops from H&M. One is a lace greenish blue top that I scored for 15 euro. And the other one is blue top with a black bow and has a black sheer detail at the bottom . They also sell the blue top with black bow in pink. At first I couldn't decide which color to take & I eventually went with blue. But maybe I will go back to H&M to also get the pink one. [I scored this top for €12.90]

An organisation must not treat one person less favourably than another because of a protected characteristic.
For example, if an employer decides not to promote the most suitable candidate to the next management tier because it prefers not to have any more female staff at that level, then this is direct discrimination because of sex.
The protected characteristic age is dealt with differently in that an employer can show that it is objectively justified to make a decision based on a person's age, even if this would otherwise be direct discrimination. In practice it is very difficult to objectively justify direct age discrimination.
Businesses must ensure that behaviour does not amount to other forms of discrimination, namely:
associative discrimination
perceptive discrimination
indirect discrimination
disability discrimination
a failure to make reasonable adjustments

The endocannabinoids anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) act through cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors, and are inactivated by a two-step process: Both are transported into cells, and then anandamide is hydrolyzed by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and 2-AG by monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL). Selective inhibition of either FAAH or MGL results in the accumulation of either anandamide or 2-AG, respectively, and in non-overlapping therapeutic effects. In a study funded by a NIDA-CEBRA grant, we found that the microglial cell line, BV-2, does not express MGL and yet efficiently hydrolyzes 2-AG, suggesting the existence of a new 2-AG-hydrolyzing enzyme that could be targeted for the treatment of pathologies associated with neuroinflammation. In collaboration with Ben Cravatt, we used a functional proteomics approach and identified ABHD6 as a candidate enzyme for 2-AG hydrolysis in BV-2 cells. More recently, we used shRNA knockdown and a newly developed ABHD6 inhibitor and showed that this enzyme plays a major role in 2-AG hydrolysis in both BV-2 cells and neurons. Because Hungtington's disease (HD) is associated with an early down-regulation of CB1 receptors and a chronic neuroinflammatory response, inhibiting ABHD6 might represent a valid therapeutic approach to treat this degenerative disease. In this grant proposal, we outline experiments designed to: 1) Map ABHD6 expression and activity in healthy and HD mice brains, 2) Determine the pharmacological profile of ABHD6 and develop novel inhibitors 3) Test if ABHD6 controls 2-AG signaling in microglia and neurons, and constitutes a valid target for treating HD mice. The completion of these three aims will provide a comprehensive understanding of the expression, activity and role of ABHD6 in microglia and neurons in healthy and degenerating brain. Our long-term goal is to generate pharmacological and genetic tools that selectively inhibit endocannabinoid inactivation as means to develop therapeutics that lack the abuse liability and adverse effects produced by cannabinoid agonists.
In this grant proposal, we outline experiments designed to 1) Map the expression and activity of the novel endocannabinoid-hydrolyzing enzyme, ABHD6, in the brains of healthy mice, and of two mice models of Huntington's disease, 2) Determine the pharmacological profile and develop inhibitors of this novel enzyme and 3) Test its role in controlling endocannabinoid's ability to regulate microglial and neuronal cell functions, and whether its inhibition affects disease progression in a mouse model of Huntington's disease.

England's World Cup odysseys since triumphing for the only time on home soil in 1966 have largely ended in deep anti-climax and the odd near-miss but this sorry saga has never usually stopped a nation buying into tired hype surrounding the national team.
After so many disappointments, though, perhaps a more refreshing sense of realism surrounds the hopes of Gareth Southgate's young squad in Russia. It will travel in hope but few in England harbour great expectations any more.
The captain will be Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane, whose goal-scoring record puts him close to the world-class category, and other potential diamonds include Spurs midfielder Dele Alli, Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford and stylish Manchester City centre back John Stones.
Yet England's hopes may rest on the swift development of youthful talent that Southgate is blooding – and 2018 may well prove too soon for them.
Of course, following the success of England's juniors in the Under-17 and Under-20 World Cups this year, it is tempting to believe the seniors, who have reached just one World Cup semi-final since 1966, may be inspired to follow suit.
Yet talents like another Spurs' starlet Harry Winks and Crystal Palace's Chelsea loanee Ruben Loftus-Cheek, given their heads by Southgate following an efficient, unbeaten but uninspiring qualification campaign, have much to learn.
Nonetheless, many England supporters, fed up of so much under-achieving mediocrity would gladly give Southgate a free pass to take a more daring approach with the youngsters and fail gloriously rather than see another turgid, tame exit.
When he unleashed the young guns recently against Brazil and Germany, the goalless draws may have meant little in friendlies bereft of so many key players but it was a welcome step forward. In truth, though, Southgate's still feels like a Pot 2 squad.

O'Sullivan and his Assistant "Vest Man"
Timothy O'Sullivan and his assistant worked as a team while in the field. The evidence is in their photographs. One of them sometimes posed in a scene, while the other operated the camera; they then exchanged places and exposed another image. Thus, they left a personal stamp on the photographic plates.
This was not the only time that O'Sullivan and his assistant changed places and, one must assume, roles behind the camera. The stereograph below, captioned "Petersburg, Virginia, Confederate [Fort McGilvery]" offers another example.
Timothy O'Sullivan appears in a number of his Petersburg photographs, some of which are not attributed to him.
O'Sullivan's assistant, "Vest Man," shows up in a great many of the Petersburg images. If Vest Man is in the image, O'Sullivan was behind the camera. Many of these photographs are not yet attributed to O'Sullivan.
In several cases, O'Sullivan and "Vest Man" exchanged places in front of the camera. They often placed themselves strategically in the camera's eye, a trick picked up from the master Mathew Brady. We will encounter Vest Man on a regular basis. We have looked through the records for his identity -- most promising were lists of passes issued by the Provost Marshall for the Army of the Potomac. Nothing definitive so far. Any leads would be welcomed.

The water is gorgeous in Panama City Beach, Florida. That's why we love coming here! It's so relaxing to be near the water. Hannah and I went parasailing this week which was a lot of fun. The boys of course had to play some golf but we've managed to get work done still!
When you're near the ocean you can never go wrong with blues, turquoise and whites! These colors are great for family pictures on the beach or to wear around town. We did our own Boxx Jewelry family photos and I'd have to say I think it turned out pretty nice!
Styling these colors for the beach is pretty simple. I like to keep my jewelry classic by wearing neutral whites and creams or golds and silvers.
For my blue striped dress I chose some trendy white ball drop earrings and the above beautiful blue and white beaded bracelets. I'm currently obsessed with those blue beads! Those bracelets are great for layering.
For Hannah's blue skirt, she chose a neutral beaded pendant necklace and layering necklace. We match the ocean perfectly!
This was such a beautiful sunset evening but man was it windy! We're staring off into the same direction in a lot of these pictures because of the direction of the wind! Anyways, we worked it out.
For my turquoise dress, I chose a cream beaded bib necklace and lots of gold and cream layering bracelets to match.
For Hannah's white dress, she chose a beautiful turquoise agate stone necklace to complement my dress. She also chose some matching gold earrings and bracelets.
Hope you guys have fabulous beach vacations this summer! We have truly loved our time at the beach and will be sad to leave. Love our Boxx Jewelry family!
Happy Styling,
