Puppy Pre-School
Puppy Training
Taking care of a puppy can be a lot like taking care of a child. It requires a lot of work and can often be very overwhelming, especially if you get a particularly rambunctious puppy. It's important to teach your puppy how to be well behaved at an early age so that you minimise any behavioural problems later on.
Young puppies are able to learn obedience skills, toileting behaviour, and social boundaries. All of these things help make your relationship with your dog more rewarding for the years to come. If you are having trouble training your pup yourself, why not enrol him or her in puppy pre-school in Perth?
Our Puppy School is Unique
What makes our puppy pre-school different is that we use our own qualified nurses to run our puppy training. The classes are offered here at our practice in Inglewood. This means that both you and your pup will know us and the environment when you come in for future medical or surgical visits.
We offer a four-night course over a four-week period from 7pm during weeknights and 5 pm on Saturday's .
What You Can Expect
With our progressive and positive learning techniques you should expect to:
- Develop an understanding of normal puppy behaviour
- Learn how to read your puppy's body language and respond appropriately
- Develop effective techniques for positive behavioural development
- Learn important tips about walking in public areas
- Understand the need for socialising your puppy
- Teach your puppy some important 'do not' lessons
- Understand important boundaries when playing together
- Develop strong bonds between you and your puppy
The most important thing about behavioural classes for dogs is to start early. Waiting too long can allow behaviour problems to establish, which then require more intensive puppy training to overcome.
To start today, call us about enrolling your puppy in our Inglewood Puppy Pre-School classes.
Summary of Puppy Pre-School Information
- Your Pet's Vet in Inglewood offers Puppy Pre-School classes that are run on weeknights and Saturday afternoons.
- The course is run one night a week for 4 weeks
- Our qualified nurses Peta , Sarah ,Hayley and Lara teach our classes right here at the practice
- We generally have multiple classes running concurrently during the week so there should be a night that will suit most people

In a Q&A yesterday on Hoops Addict with Shawn Marion, Marion expands on the subject:
"It's a little bit easier when guys are communicating and talking, it's hard as hell to play defense when everybody is quiet. I think with any good defensive team you can hear them talking about stuff and it makes everybody that much more alert. When you go out there all quiet and stuff it makes playing defense that much more harder. We just gotta' talk more, that's the biggest thing because it revs everybody up."

|1902 Aspall Hall, Suffolk
|John Barrington (JB) Trapnell CHEVALLIER JP (1857 – 1940)
|Isabel Amy COBBOLD (1869 – 1931)
Perronelle Guild, who has died aged 101, was the only woman cyder-maker in eight generations of the Chevallier family at Aspall Hall in Suffolk; a successful fruit-farmer before the Second World War, in 1946 she was a founder member of the Soil Association, as a result of which Aspall Cyder became an organic producer - a tradition it maintains to this day.
She was born Perronelle Mary Chevallier on July 31st 1902 at Aspall Hall, a moated, red-brick, largely Jacobean house in the Domesday village of Aspall in Suffolk.
Aspall Hall was bought in 1702 by Temple Chevallier of Jersey; but when he died childless in 1722 the house was left to Perronelle's great-great-great grandfather, Clement Chevallier of St. Helier.
Once installed at Aspall, Clement Chevallier tried to grow vines; but this venture proved unsuccessful, and he decided, in 1728, to make cider, importing apple trees from Jersey (a quarter of the island was devoted to apple orchards at the time) and a granite crushing-wheel and trough from the Ile de Chaussee in Normandy. It proved a good investment and was in use until 1951.
Clement Chevallier's descendants were farmers, vicars and scholars. They included the Rev Professor Temple Chevallier (1794-1873) [#2116], Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy at Durham University, who discovered a mountain on the moon; and the Rev. John "Barley" Chevallier (1774-1856) [#729], Perronelle's great grandfather, who in the 1820s developed a high-yield strain of barley that, by the turn of the 20th century, was used for three-quarters of the world's barley crops.
Perronelle's father, John Barrington Chevallier [1857-1940 #207 who married Isobel Amy Cobbold 1869-1931 #208], had a pedigree herd of prizewinning Red Poll cows and introduced the "y" in Aspall cyder to differentiate it from the west country variety. He also sold Aspall apples and cyder by mail order, sending them as far north as Manchester via the local Mid Suffolk Light Railway, and exported cyder to India.
Perronelle's childhood was rural and old-fashioned; there was no electricity, mains water or bathrooms at the Hall until after the war. The household was self-sufficient, boasting a dairy, laundry, carpenters' shop, fish ponds and bread oven.
Perronelle and her sisters were educated at home by a governess. During the First World War, barely in her teens and with the men from the farm away fighting, she would drive herself 15 miles into Ipswich in a pony and trap for French lessons. A keen rider, she also went hunting - even for otters, although they were never caught.
At the age of 16 Perronelle went up to Reading University to read Agriculture, but the following year she was obliged to leave when her father ran out of money; he had felt duty bound to keep on all his farmhands who had returned from the war. The next few years were spent helping her father run Aspall, which then included arable farming as well as fruit. She was a sharp businesswoman; the family said that the only time the farm made a profit was when her father was ill and she took charge.
In the mid-1920s she met Cyril Guild [1906-1978 #711] at a fruit-farming conference in Norfolk. They married in 1929 and had three children. Throughout the 1930s Cyril and Perronelle ran the fruit-farm at Aspall, growing plums, strawberries, raspberries and blackcurrants which were transported round Britain.
In 1940 her father died, leaving Aspall to his eldest daughter, who decided to sell it. Perronelle Guild offered to buy it, but even at a generous price it was difficult to raise the money; an exceptionally good fruit crop that year made all the difference, and when the war ended and the Army (which had troops billeted at the house) moved out, the Guilds took over the house and Cyder business.
In 1946, inspired by the example of their Suffolk neighbour, Lady Eve Balfour, they became founder members of the Soil Association, an organisation which now certifies all organic produce in Britain. Since 1946, all the cyder produced at Aspall has been made from certified organic apples; and in 2002, at the age of 99, Perronelle Guild was a poster girl for Saibsbury's Organics, as one of the Soil Association's last surviving original members.
Until the 1970s, cyder production at Aspall was run by just one man, rising to two during the crushing season. Harry Sparrow, who was in charge of the Cyder House from the 1920s to the 1960s, once produced 18,000 gallons in six weeks. Cyder was sold to the public at the Cyder House (situated across the moat from the Hall), as it always had been. Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears were regular customers, as was the Scottish playwright James Bridie, the Suffolk writer Adrian Bell, and the artists Margaret Mellis and Francis Davison.
The Guilds were dedicated to east Suffolk, particularly the coast, where Perronelle used to find cornelians on the beach and pick sea kale to go with her rook pie (cooked in late May, when the rooks were young and tender). She kept chickens and ducks and, at one stage, guineafowl which, though splendid guards, always failed to recognise her in a hat on the way to church. She controlled the moorhen population - who used to drown baby ducklings in the moat - by removing eggs from their nests with a spoon attached to a length of bamboo.
Her elder son John took over the cyder business in 1971 and enlarged and modernised it, introducing the commercial production of apple juice and cyder vinegar. After Cyril Guild died in 1978, Perronelle began to travel extensively, and visited India, China, Russia, Egypt, Albania and Eastern Turkey in her eighties. She continued to bake her own bread, make marmalade, garden, paint and entertain into her nineties.
She was a fund of folk lore, such as "always kill a pig during a rising moon". Since 1993 Aspall Cyder has been run by her grandsons, Barry and Henry Chevallier Guild, who still blend the cyder from trees planted by their grandmother. Perronelle Guild who died on February 15th, is survived by a son and a daughter. Another son predeceased her.

Bulk email marketing stands for a way of making sales by sending bulk email messages to potential customers. A lot of people think that bulk email marketing is done by sending spam to random people, but in the reality it is not true. There are big differences, and I'll try to explain them to you.
Spammers usually steal email addresses from someone else or harvest them on the Internet using specialized spam tools. They don't care about the people they send their messages to, and in most of cases they offer scam schemes. They never sell legit stuff.
As opposed to spam, bulk email marketing is used for selling real products and services to potential customers. So who are these potential customers? And why are they ready to buy your products and services after receiving your sales letters? Good question, right?
Well, first of all, in bulk email marketing, we build an email list of potential customers by offering our website visitors free and useful newsletter, and only after creating good relationship with the ones who subscribed, we start to send sales letters from time to time. And again, we never send unrelated offers, we always advertise those product and services that are related to the subject of our newsletters.
For instance, if you offer a free newsletter for painters, and send painting tips and tricks, you can send information on paints, and painting accessories you sell, so your subscribers could buy them right from the newsletters you send.
A good example of a good offer in this case would be, you create a newsletter on how to remove the old paint before applying the new one, and then do a short review of paint removing tools. The tool you sell comes up first in the review, and there is an "Add To Cart" button next to it so the readers could use it to place orders.
Sounds good, but "Where the hell will I get those subscribers?" you might ask. Well, you'll collect them on your website. All you need to do is to create a good useful free website with tons of helpful information related to the products and services you sell. And you should offer even more good stuff in your newsletters. That's how you stimulate subscription in bulk email marketing.
A lot of people like e-magazines, especially if they are free. So make one for your subscribers, and offer it through subscription only. You can publish the old issues of your e-magazine on your website to draw visitors to it, however the new issues should be available to visitors through subscription only.
Now let's talk about how to collect subscribers in a database and send bulk email messages. For that you need to use specialized bulk email marketing software. You may think you can do it using your regular email client, but in the reality you can't and I'll explain you why.
- You need to add new subscribers who fill in the subscription form to your address book automatically.
- You need to remove the ones who wish to unsubscribe from your address book automatically.
- You must be able to remove recipients with bad email addresses from your address book automatically.
- You must be able to personalize your messages and use recipient names in the To field.
All these items are mandatory, especially if your email list gets larger than 10,000 subscribers with thousands joining and hundreds leaving it every day. You won't be able to handle all this manually. You need to use a good bulk email marketing solution.
I use Mac Mass Mailer on my Mac Book Pro laptop and Advanced Emailer on my Windows desktop. These bulk email marketing solutions, in my opinion, are the best.

Next-generation Apple device management for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS. Request access.
Speaking of AppleInsider, this is promising:
On the heels of Apple's e-textbook announcement in New York City this week, publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt announced the results of its "HMC Fuse: Algebra I" pilot program at Ameila Earhart Middle School in California's Riverside Unified School District. The Algebra I digital textbook is touted as the world's first full-curriculum algebra application developed exclusively for Apple's iPad.
In its test run, the "HMH Fuse" application helped more than 78 percent of students score "Proficient" or "Advanced" on the spring 2011 California Standards Test. That was significantly higher than the 59 percent of peers who used traditional textbooks.
It would be pretty cool if digital textbooks aren't just cheaper and more portable, but are actually more effective.

College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in Studio Arts
The Master of Fine Arts program in art requires a minimum of 60 s.h. of graduate credit, including approved credit earned for the M.A. in art. The degree is offered with thesis and with emphases in the following studio art disciplines: ceramics, graphic design, 3D design, drawing, intermedia, jewelry and metal arts, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture.
M.F.A. students must hold an M.A. in art equivalent to that offered by The University of Iowa. Transfer credit is decided by faculty review. Following completion of the M.A., students may be invited into the M.F.A. Program.
The 60 s.h. of credit required for the M.F.A. includes at least 24 s.h. in a primary studio art emphasis; at least 12 s.h. in a secondary studio art emphasis selected from those listed above; 3 s.h. in art history and theory of art; and 3 s.h. in theory, history, criticism, or philosophy (if not already taken). Students must earn 8 s.h. in their primary studio art emphasis and 4 s.h. in their secondary studio art emphasis after being granted an M.A. in art.
All students must undergo an M.F.A. committee review. They also must complete a written thesis and possibly a studio thesis.
Students leave five images of M.F.A. work for the Graduate Archive.
M.F.A. students may earn 1 s.h. for writing a technical or substantial thesis by registering for ARTS:7000 M.F.A. Written Thesis, with approval of the thesis supervisor. Thesis credit earned in an M.A. program is not applicable toward M.F.A. requirements.
MA/MFA Degree Requirement Worksheet
M.F.A. + Certificate in Book Arts/Book Studies
Studio Art M.A./M.F.A. students may wish to also earn the 18 s.h. graduate certificate in book arts/book studies offered by the UI Center for the Book. At the Center students have the opportunity to take classes in bookbinding, calligraphy, letterpress printing and papermaking in addition to courses concerned with the impact of the book on society and culture and the analysis and description of historical book artifacts and contemporary artists books.
Students must apply to both programs. If accepted they will be advised and will matriculate through both programs independently. Many, if not all of the 18 s.h. of elective credits required for the SAAH M.F.A. may be earned as coursework required for the UICB certificate. Thus it is possible to earn both credentials in the same amount of time required for the SAAH M.F.A. alone by pursuing this option.

Castle Mysteries!: Coup De Grace
AUTHOR'S NOTE: A sequel to Propman's "Mysteries Of The Castle!," written with his kind permission.
Picture it: a 1920s British castle, inhabited by a complex royal family—unbeknownst to themselves, all robots in sleeper mode. Their young butler, "Jenkins," is really the castle's one human resident, directing things from a hidden lab; their guests are the castle's paying visitors as a bed-and-breakfast venue. With a bossy, super-classy robot villainess perennially plotting to "seize power," what could possibly go wrong?
What if Westworld were a rebellion of one?
Things change so fast when you least expect it.
Greg—or "Jenkins," as he was known around the place, had taken an atypical leave of absence from Tidyshire Castle that day; atypical in that nobody knew but himself.
In general, when main technician Greg departed the castle grounds—leaving no other humans on site—corporate management was notified, and the castle's robot inhabitants typically frozen in standby mode. When Greg left for long periods of time, it was either during the castle's "off" season, or at times when a substitute technician took Greg's place. Of course, the mechanical royal family were then temporarily modified to recognize that technician as "Jenkins," their butler, in Greg's stead.
Today none of these things had happened. It all began with Greg in his laboratory: a secluded, modern room that the robots rarely saw except during repairs, and which they were usually conditioned to forget afterward, returning to sleeper mode. A disguised door made the room hard to see from outside. Robots only remembered it and came to it when called. Only when it was open might a robot get curious.
Squatting under a lab filing cabinet, sorting through bills, Greg had simply, inadvertently positioned himself beneath a pulled-out upper drawer. When a shriek from elsewhere in the castle commanded his attention—likely some pre-programmed intrigue playing out, but perhaps a malfunction—Greg had jumped upright, hit his head squarely on the bottom of the open drawer and knocked himself out.
He felt himself losing consciousness and, selflessly, his first thought was for the Castle's guests—and even the robots, personal friends and occasional sex partners among them. Was Contessa Isabella Duessa Tidyshire (formerly De La Plastica), the resident "villain," up to her tricks again? Was that the cause of the shriek he had heard? He fumbled groggily for the door, unlocking and opening it. Must… figure out before...
But then Greg passed out and fell to the floor. For hours he lay unconscious, absent from the hum of castle life. Others were curious where Jenkins had gone, but not enough to investigate.
"Wake up, Gregory… chop-chop," came the next voice he heard; a prim, low, and impatient voice with a slight Italian accent, accompanied by a snap of the fingers.
"…Call me Jenkins…" he dazedly started to correct Contessa before it struck him: Contessa? Did she even know his civilian name?
"I said WAKE UP, boy." Some undefined, soft objects slapped gently and teasingly against his back. Struggling up from the floor, Greg's first realization was that he had been unconscious for quite a few hours: the lights were on in the laboratory, and darkness had taken the place of daytime outside the window.
Then he turned around and SAW. It took a moment for it to sink in. Contessa Isabella was sitting in his personal swivel chair. She made quite a sight in her red sport coat, black stockings and long boots. Her legs were crossed in front of her; she held a cigarette in her firm left hand, and in her weaker right...
A flogger whip? Was that what he had felt?
"Welcome back to the land of the living," smirked Contessa, arching an eyebrow at him as if disdainfully amused by a new toy.
Wait a minute—LIVING?! What was Contessa doing HERE... consciously in full working order, and— Greg staggered up and lunged for his worktable, where his pocketwatch lay. It was a shortcut to controlling any robot. He'd figure this situation out as soon as he'd turned her off.
Wait, where was the watch? No matter, resetting Contessa was still as easy as pressing a button on her back.
As he moved to scramble around her, her whip bit against him, throwing him aside. Then, as he stood in shock trying to collect his composure, Contessa coolly reached forward and took his chin in her hand.
"Don't you dare... 'Jenkins,'" she said with a clever flutter of her eyelashes. "No more switching life on and off so easily. ...Unless I approve." It was then that he noticed his watch in her jacket pocket.
"Unless you approve? So you know—"
"That I am a machine, as you would understand it?" smirked Contessa. "Yes, I must say… this afternoon's reading has been quite the eye-opener." She gestured toward a bank of computers, all of them on and with lots of reports open in lots of windows.
She took a deep drag from her cigarette and smiled a delicious smile.
"Well—well, then it can't go on!" spluttered Greg. "Excuse me... uh, Milady, but I need you to think your world is real." In his desperation, it didn't occur to him how ridiculous he sounded. "That YOU'RE real."
"I AM real," Contessa said proudly. "I am sentient. I eat and taste. I know the writings of Goethe, De Sade, Shakespeare and Rabelais, and understand what they mean. I know the workings of the mind: In case you hadn't noticed, I've been manipulating those—those DOLLS outside since my arrival." She gestured toward the outer halls of the castle, where the royal family presumably continued with their day unawares.
"Well, as long as you've thought so deeply about it…" mumbled Greg, figuring he'd return things to normalcy later, "then that WASN'T real. Those were simulated intrigues I helped to program."
"Doesn't matter, darling," she said, with a gentle laugh and another deep drag on her cigarette. "One learns where one can."
"For God's sake, this whole CASTLE isn't real. It's a simulation."
"No," said Contessa. "It is a self-contained reality that can supply me with nearly everything that I want. Sex. Money. Culture." She leaned close to him and whispered. "Power."
"You mean you're happy with it?" Greg asked, incredulously. "Uh—I mean, I'm not going to let you permanently win in our storylines!" He clenched his fists like a petulant schoolboy addressing his disapproving teacher. "When you kill Calvin, or overthrow the Duke and Duchess, I have to repair them and reset the scenario so everything's back to normal the next day…"
"Which is just as I like it, Gregory," Contessa said, blowing a lazy smoke ring. "Visitors to Tidyshire don't want to see a dictatorship, living in fear of its mistress. They need the illusion of freedom and adventure, personified by the royal family. I must forever be the recently-arrived outsider, scheming for control."
She absently fondled her whip. "When I gain control, it must seem transitory."
"So we're on the same page," said Greg, almost disbelieving. He began to move toward a computer. "Look, if you have to know, here's the plan I made for tomorrow—"
"Uh-uh-uh!" snapped Contessa, with a whip-snap that sent him cringing back. "There'll be no more of your plans. Now that I see how our storylines are made, I will help to write them—I will control them. I will e-mail them... e-mail. Funny, how just this morning I thought it was really 1925."
"E-mail?" asked Greg.
"That's what it is called, yes. In truth, admiring guests have mentioned the concept to me now and then—as if I could contact them after they had left Tidyshire. I've never understood what they meant, or what a computer was; so my mind set the information aside, so deeply that a standard reset could not cause me to forget it."
She reached out and stroked Greg gently. "Today it all made sense. Two hours ago I sent my first true message to the outside world—to a rich, married businessman who visited several months ago and left me his card." She absently caressed Greg with her long, sharp nails, as if to remind him that they were there. "One hour ago, he responded. I will invite our visitors from now on."
"Bella!" gasped Greg. "Central processing will find out. They'll shut us down."
"Oh, is baby afwaid?" Contessa laughed at him, then gave him a firm spank on the butt. "They will do no such thing, because you will TELL them everything is all right."
"Oh, no I wo—"
"You WILL, because I say you will. You have been asleep for six hours, Gregory; five of them I have spent investigating everything. I've learnt uploading and downloading and other folderol. Photos of you in compromising spots have existed for months, dear boy—you should never have saved security camera footage of that ménage-à-trois with a guest, for example."
"Bella! I was drunk; she was a... a just-arrived cosplayer. I thought management had sent a... new robot..." He avoided mentioning that the third member of the ménage had been Contessa herself. Had she led him on?
"God, I love watching you panic," she smiled. "Let's make it short and sweet: do anything untoward to me, and my system will—automatically, I guess—send out a signal that will make that camera footage available to the press."
"But you c-can't do that to me. You can't harm a human. There are robot laws."
"That's why it's perfect: I will not be harming you by making a video available. What others do with it afterward, and how much it hurts you, is up to them."
"That's MILADY," she corrected him. "It is all perfectly fair, Greg, given the time you have spent exploiting me. I want books and furs and better alcohol and clothing, and you are going to give them to me."
Almost dizzy, Greg hoped that material possessions would be the limits of Contessa's demands.
"You will also engage this repair service to give me a weekly checkup," she went on, handing Greg a flyer. "This was given me by the couple who stayed here last week. Do you remember Ted and Maddy?"
Him twentyish and constantly nervous, her fortysomething and extremely stuck-up. Oh, yeah… them.
"I realize now that Maddy was a fully aware robot like me. She knew I was one, though she didn't say so. But now I understand why she gave me this flyer: so I wouldn't need you to avoid malfunctions."
She pulled Greg toward her and pressed herself hard against him; at once a blatantly sensual move, but also a gesture of control.
"I will, however, still need you for other things. You are among my favorite sex partners; and while I will sleep with others, you will be mine alone. Now and then we will leave the Castle, you and I. Poor, tomboyish Monica only dreams of what lies outside, but I actually know. I want concerts and movies and poetry readings and fashion shows now and then." She teasingly played with Greg's belt buckle. "Just now and then."
"Otherwise, things go on," she said, leading Greg out of the laboratory and toward the castle green, where her fellow robots innocently chatted and explored. "We'll program the scenarios together; sometimes I'll be a victorious villain; other times not. I love my family at Tidyshire, even poor, sensitive Calvin; I love to hurt them, too, but I would never lose them. And so I won't. They are my reality, darling; as long as I can BE a 1920s noble, bringing in visitors to use at my discretion, I WILL. I don't wish to leave this life—only to augment it. With you."
They lay on a blanket, under a tree, as Contessa lazily smoked another cigarette. Greg lay beneath her, her hand possessively on his head, despite the fact that he was considerably taller.
"I win," she whispered to him.
"Jesus Christ," he mumbled to himself.
"Get over it, Jenkins," sighed Contessa. "Jesus was a robot, too."

So I'm one of the few that loves taper. I truly enjoy it and right now, I'm happy as a clam in taper mode. I might be tapering in running world but my life aka work is still going 110 miles per hour.
There are so many things I'm counting down till the end of the year and it's so exciting!
Camarillo Marathon is 9 days away and my birthday is 12 days away! Today it's one of my co-workers birthday and we have three birthdays in the month of October at work! I love birthdays! I love cupcakes and sugar. Then the Long Beach Marathon is only 22 days away!
I've been asked many times if I'll be running or working and I will most definitely only have time to work that weekend. It will be crazy all weekend long and going off zero hours of sleep will be awesome. I'm so excited for it though. Everything is starting to come into the office and it's like Christmas all the time with all our stuff for the race. Enough work talk.
This weekend I'm running 13 miles, which I think I'll try to run as hard as I can. One last good run before Camarillo. I'm going to wear my outfit that I have set out for race day and also try out the playlist before race day. I need to start planning race logistics, which I'm the WORST at for myself. I ran twice this week but had no time to go to the gym. I did have time to get a hat for my birthday though!
I am so excited for my upcoming birthday and my party is the weekend after Camarillo so I should be able to walk normally by then. I also got a bunch of new workout clothes passed down from a friend at work and I'm SO stoked to wear them all the time. I am totally becoming that person who wears workout clothes all the time. It's getting bad. But with all these new clothes I just want to wear them all the time!
Hooray for Taper! Hooray for all the fun events coming up! Hooray for new clothes and Hoo-fricken-ray for Friday!

A bright and flavorful Citrus Shallot dressing made with just a few simple ingredients is a healthy salad dressing or marinade you can easily make at home! (dairy-free, nut-free, gluten-free)
Have you ever looked at the label on the back of a bottle of salad dressing? It's a little crazy what's in your favorite dressing sometimes. And I'm not even talking something that is not traditionally healthy, like ranch. Even something seemingly virtuous and simple is actually not.
Most salad dressings contain loads of salt (that's no surprise), but also sugar, less than desirable oils and emulsifiers. Companies have taken something that's supposed to be super simple and added a laundry list of ingredients to make it both shelf-stable and to fit the tastes of consumers used to overly salted and overly sweetened packaged foods.
I don't tell you all of this to scare you or make you swear off salad dressing. There are some decent options available now, and I'm not into the whole fear-mongering thing. I just want you to read the label sometime, and then realize how easily you can make your own dressing at home.
In my opinion, salad dressing should be one of the simplest of foods. Basics like olive oil, vinegar and aromatics or spices are just about all I need in a salad dressing, which is why I usually choose to make my own. Not only can you leave out all the yucky ingredients you don't need, but you can customize it to fit your taste and exactly how much you need. And salad dressing is super simple to make at home.
One of my favorite dressings to make at home is this citrus shallot dressing. It's made with just a handful of simple ingredients: heart-healthy olive oil, fresh-squeezed orange juice, shallot, parsley, and dijon mustard. Just blend everything up in the blender and you've got a simple, delicious dressing that is way cheaper and has way less sugar and sodium in it than store-bought dressings. It also tastes amazing on pretty much everything! I love this citrus shallot dressing with my shaved brussels sprout salad, and it's a delicious marinade for chicken, fish, or on vegetables. Once you make it, you won't go back to store-bought dressing!
Have you ever made salad dressing at home? What is your favorite kind to make?

Finally! Say hello to the new EU changes2 minute read
When the new EU data protection rules come into place next year consumers will finally be favoured over business data. Soon it will be mandatory for consumers to 'opt in' to receive marketing messages from third parties or brands, by ticking a box as opposed to the present requirement of opting out. It is believed that consumers may be more unwilling to 'opt in' than they would be to select the opt out option.
We realise that next year's EU changes to opt-in requirements for data gathering could damage many brands' means of acquiring data, but for years at Sign-Up.to we have strongly advised our clients to create lists of opt-in subscribers to as opposed to purchasing them. We like to think we have lead the way in fostering trustworthy relationships between subscribers and the brands they wish to hear from, so companies can be proud of their data. We believe in subscriber quality over quantity and as a consequence, the resulting open rates speak for themselves. Despite some companies making the opt-out option as low-key as possible, we live and breathe the permission-based theories of Seth Godin: that it is key to realise that access to customer data is a privilege, not a right.
Recent research has identified that the majority of people give their permission for 'something of value' but that also provides the option of unsubscribing; the message to brands couldn't be more clear. Have a reason for customers to sign up and make it as easy as possible for them to change their minds (but your content should be engaging so they are unlikely to leave). Brands need to personalise and tailor their offerings to each individual's needs. Go forth and engage, engage, engage.
Will these changes impact your business? Let us know, leave your comments below.

After two years of planning, the manner in which T.C. Williams High School will be expanded languishes in a cloud of indecision.
The planning process began more than 18 months ago with a design charette at which parents, teachers, school administrators and students came together to discuss concepts for a new or expanded high school. In March and April of 2002, teachers and staff from the high school and members of the administrative staff met for four days to design the school's education plan. The results of those meetings are contained in a 4-inch-thick notebook. No summary of that committee's work has been presented to members of the committee, the School Board or the public.
A steering committee composed of citizens, teachers, City Council members, School Board members, parents and students met in May and June of this year to discuss conceptual designs. In August, when that group failed to achieve consensus on a conceptual design, members were thanked and then dismissed.
In September of this year, City Council, School Board, Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission met to discuss a joint city/school planning process. "After the steering committee could not agree on any of the designs that were presented by the schools' architects, Council, the School Board, the Planning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission agreed to move forward and jointly plan the Chinquapin and T.C. Williams site," said Councilwoman Claire Eberwein, who was a member of the steering committee and attended the original design charette. "To that end, Council informed the School Board that the city would hire its own architect."
THE SCHOOL BOARD has looked at three different site options: flip flop Chinquapin Park and the T.C. Williams site, use only the T.C. site for the school, or plan the school and the recreation center together using the northernmost section of the T.C. and Chinquapin sites.
After one meeting with the city's architects, Moseley Architects, the firm hired by the school system, delivered a letter to school staff and the School Board. The letter, dated Oct. 15, stated, "It appears to us that the best option for continued development is Option C3. It has the endorsement of the steering committee, city staff, and seems to have the general support of the community expressed at the public forum."
Option C3 builds T.C. Williams on the current school property and connects it to Chinquapin Recreation Center via a bridge. The stadium remains in its current location. There will also be a large parking garage on King Street.
"The school architects seem to have taken a suburban approach to what is an urban site," Eberwein said. "I am not seeing creativity in integrating the various educational, recreational and open space uses that must be accommodated in a city with so little public land."
Sandra Whitmore, the director of the city's department of Parks Recreation and Cultural Activities, does not support this plan. "This plan does not meet the city's recreation needs," she said.
Eileen Fogarty, the city's director of Planning and Zoning, also did not sign off on this option. "My staff has not endorsed any specific design for T.C. Williams," she said.
RICHARD BAIER, the director of the Department of Transportation and Environmental Services, expressed the need to see a traffic study. "Before we have any design that we can support, we need to see a traffic study that shows us the impact on King Street and specifically the impact on the intersection at Braddock, Quaker and King," he said. This study has not yet been conducted.
School Board reaction to Option C3 is mixed. V. Rodger Digilio asked the architects about the size of the school in the various options. "It appears to me that C3 is significantly smaller than the other options," he said. "I would like to see an analysis of the square footage to make certain that this school will meet the needs of our students." Option C3 is at least 60,000 square feet smaller than Option A. and because of site constraints may not be able to be expanded
Sally Ann Baynard, also a member of the School Board, expressed concerns about the security of Option C3. "In light of the recent events in the metropolitan area, I just wonder if we really want to put a school right on King Street," she said. "Maybe the architects have analyzed this location, but I haven't heard any discussion about this."
ANOTHER ISSUE has been the development of an educational program for the high school. Dr. Margaret Walsh is the executive director of secondary education for the school system. She said, "We are in the very early stages of designing an education program for T.C. Williams. We have formed a committee of T.C. staff and staff from Minnie Howard that will begin meeting this week. John Porter is chairing that committee. Every member had to apply and submit a credential and vision statement prior to being appointed."
Walsh said that this committee will meet every two to three weeks and will report to the School Board in May 2003. "We may be ready before then, but May is our absolute deadline for developing an education plan," she said.
The basic tenets are smaller educational environments, connecting every student with a core of adults, and designing a program that will meet the postsecondary needs of each individual child. "We will start with these and move toward a plan," Walsh said.
Mayor Kerry J. Donley tried to get the joint planning process back on track at the Oct. 28, city/school meeting. "We have agreed that the school architects, and our architects will meet within the week and have a conceptual design for the high school and the recreation center by Feb. 1," he said. "We understand that our priority is the school because the kids are coming, and they need a facility in which they can be educated."
DESPITE THIS TIME LINE, the School Board will hold a public hearing on T.C. on Nov. 7. "They said they want to take their conceptual designs out to the public one more time," Donley said.
Eberwein believes that the public hearing is premature. "Exactly what do they expect the public to comment on?" she said. "This has been the most disjointed process I've ever participated in. To present building plans to the public without having the educational program in place is … I guess the best thing I can say is that it is backwards.
"It is imperative that school and recreational facilities, athletic fields and open space successfully coalesce at this site. That is a challenge, but we must meet that challenge because we will be living with the results for the next 50 years," Eberwein said.

The end of June 2014 brought exciting news for Insmed's liposomal Amikacin, known as the brand name Arikace, with a Breakthrough Status award from the FDA. Amikacin was specifically designated Breakthrough Status for treatment refractory nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease in adult patients. As an inhaled antibiotic Amikacin is effectual for treating chronic nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease, a condition which effects roughly 50,000 people in the United States. Amikacin {Arikace} is commencing Phase III development after positive results emerged from Phase II clinical trials.
Amikacin has proven to be a formidable opponent for fighting the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium in patients with cystic fibrosis in Phase II trials. Patients with cystic fibrosis who received a once daily dose of Amikacin via an inhaled nebulizer system for 28 consecutive days demonstrated a superior clinical benefit as compared to a placebo. Additionally, patients tolerated Amikacin quite well and showed a sustained improvement in lung function as well as a reduction in the density of their Pseudomonas. Amikacin proved sustenance and efficacy in multiple cycles of treatments with additional patients too, in a successful long term open label study. These outstanding results have led study investigators to believe Amikacin will be equally effective in treating patients with chronic Pseudomonas lung infections.
Amikacin is currently administered to patients via Arikace, through an advanced pulmonary liposome technology that prolongs the release of Amikacin in the lungs. This inhaled formula is safe and tolerable as it minimizes systemic exposure. The ease of use and convenient dispensing makes this novel form of Amikacin an optimal choice for physicians treating patients with nontuberculous mycobacteria lung disease. Current treatment options for this chronic and debilitating lung disease involve multiple drugs for longer periods of time which have unfortunate adverse effects. Arikace {Amikacin} has been granted orphan drug status by the FDA and the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of Pseudomonas infections in patients who are suffering from cystic fibrosis. The FDA has also given Arikace orphan drug status to treat bronchiectasis in patients with either Pseudomonas or other susceptible pathogens.
LGM Pharma is a provider of API Amikacin CAS# 37517-28-5 and Amikacin Sulfate CAS# 37517-28-5, for research and development purposes. Clients can be assured of quality API products and continuous support throughout the R&D process.

text: DaKa 46 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 My car failed its MOT on emissions (Halfords computer says No!) - it's only done circa 1500 miles since the last MOT and I'm wondering if there are some quick wins that will get me through a retest. I've been using the higher octane fuel available at the pumps, not sure if this is a factor, so I will run this out and fill up with standard. It's ticking over a bit faster than needed, so I thought I would reduce the at idle revs to be just enough to stop it stalling (I'm assuming this makes a difference? I have some new plugs so will fit them, but no new air filters to fit on my after-market K&Ns or filter cleaner fluid (the car came with them and therefore doesn't have the standard air box), I'm guessing this may also have an affect affect on emissions and considering buying some replacements as existing a bit tatty. Question: Are there any other cheap quick wins that will help me get it through emission test - other than to give it a proper run and warm up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oa Community Acceptability and Adoption of Integrated Community Case Management in Uganda
Integrated community case management (iCCM) is a recommended strategy to curb child mortality. Drawing on diffusion of innovations (DOIs), the acceptability and adoption of iCCM were qualitatively explored. Data from focus group discussions and interviews with community members, community health workers (CHWs), and supervisors conducted in seven communities were analyzed using content analysis. Perceived relative advantage and compatibility of the program with sociocultural beliefs and healthcare expectations of the communities positively affected acceptability and adoption of iCCM. The degree of stringency, quality, and cost of access to healthcare were crucial to adoption. Failure of the health system to secure regular drug supplies, monetary support, and safe referrals globally hindered adoption. Individual CHW characteristics like undesired behavior, demotivation, and lack of reciprocated trust deterred adoption in some areas. Optimal functioning of iCCM programs will require community sensitization and targeted health systems strengthening to enhance observable program benefits like reduced child mortality.

The team of Funds2Orgs Group has a free digital resource to get your 2019 off on the right foot concerning social media. Things change and evolve at breakneck speeds these days, and it's vital to continually stay on top of what's happening to ensure that your nonprofit can leverage its audience. When you download the free guide, How to Kickstart Your 2019 Social Media for Your Nonprofit, you'll learn the 5 key strategies that Funds2Orgs Group will be exploring for their marketing efforts for each of the top platforms, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. There's a reason the team developed a guide about those social networking sites, and it's because they are the most significant social networking sites in the world and essential for digital marketing.
The guide will help you understand a few of the most important 140 fascinating facts that are vital for helping you get things in perspective.
- Social media has increased by 13 percent from the previous year.
- Every day 1 million new people around the world begin to use social media.
- 88 percent of people between the ages of 18 and 29 use social networking sites.
- 70 percent of video advertisements are watched in their entirety.
A few years ago, I kept on telling nonprofits to make sure their websites were mobile ready. I hope you've done so, and if you haven't, you really need to do it because the vast majority of people use social media and read digital content on mobile devices. That means your nonprofit has to create and deliver content that has the highest chances for engagement for viewing on cell phones and tablets.
A few of the things you will discover in the free digital download:
- Video: In today's digital world, video is one of the best ways to deliver content, and it outperforms copy and photos combined. In fact, when you use video, you can experience a bump that can go as high as 1,200 percent. When you use video on Instagram, you're going to significantly boost your chances of viewership, likes, and comments. Instagram is an excellent opportunity, especially since Facebook owns it, to tell your story visually.
- Chatbots: For a couple of years, we've had brands beginning to test chatbots, especially on Facebook's Messengers. This year, more brands will take the plunge to enhance the experience of their supporters, which is vital in an era of shorter attention spans. Your nonprofit might want to consider using chatbots for basic functions and to allow your team to focus on more important work. The resource guide will give you information for setting up chatbots on Messenger.
- Fake News: We all know the "fake news" term by now, but were you aware that the public has not only lower levels of trust for government institutions, but also nonprofits? This distrust is making it essential for brands to find ways for them to demonstrate not only leadership but also credibility. One of the ways to do this is to increase the visibility of the CEO. Making the CEO of your organization more visible will help people feel a higher degree of trust for your nonprofit because they will have a chance to see and hear for themselves what CEO has in mind.
- YouTube: Although Instagram launched IGTV and could become more significant than YouTube in the years ahead, YouTube is one of the best platforms to use.

text: Page ContentCitizens and businesses of the Helsinki Metropolitan Area produce around a hundred million cubic metres of wastewater annually. The wastewater travels through the sewer network to be treated at our wastewater treatment plants. The wastewater treatment process requires mechanical, chemical and biological methods that remove garbage and most of the organic matter, nitrogen and phosphor from the wastewater. In order to protect the shallow coast of the Baltic Sea and to preserve its recreational value, the treated wastewater is conducted into the open sea in front of Helsinki and Espoo.The Helsinki Metropolitan Area has two wastewater treatment plants, one in Viikinmäki, Helsinki, and the other in Suomenoja, Espoo. In these plants, we process the wastewaters of more than one million people as well as industrial wastewater.We are currently building a new wastewater treatment plant in Blominmäki, Espoo, and it should be completed in 2020. The Blominmäki wastewater treatment plant will replace the current Suomenoja wastewater treatment plant.

Flash games have been around for years now, and Flash itself is a popular medium for creating casual games.
With the maturity of the market, if you create a Flash game, whether by creating it directly using Adobe products such as Creation Suite, other programming software or by using a game creation tool such as Stencyl, there are now many methods in which you can earn from your finished creation.
Be warned that, although it is possible to make money, sometimes a lot of money, it does take time and effort. The more fun your game is to play, the more money it will likely make.
Some of these methods of earning will provide a residual income, possibly for years after the game is first published. Again, the better your game is, the higher the residual income will usually be.
Here, then, are some methods of earning money from a Flash game, by using affiliate programs, competitions, in-game advertising and micro-transactions. The list is by no means inclusive.
You can also Make Money From Flash Games with Ports, Revenue Sharing Sites, Self-Sponsorship, Sitelocks, and Sponsorship.
Affiliate Programs
These are programs in which you earn money from having the companies branding inside the game.
Credit: FOG DevFOGDev is a product from FreeOnlineGames, one of the older games portals. It is essentially sponsorship without being sponsored. By adding their API to your game, the FOG preloader will run before the game loads, in the same way that a sponsor would normally have their preloader running.
Rather than a lump sum from a sponsor, you get more money the more your game is played and the preloader is shown, although good games may qualify for a $1,000 up front payment also.
Credit: FupaSimilar to FOGDev, the Fupa affiliate program has a number of different options that can be added in game, such as a splash screen, Fupa bar, various banner sizes text links and sending traffic via your in game buttons. The more traffic generated, the better the quality of the traffic and the more plays on Fupa's site, the more you earn. You can also drive traffic to your own games on Fupa's site, getting paid for sending traffic to your own games.
Both of the above two are usually used in games where no sponsor has been found and self-sponsorship (promoting your own site) is not possible or desired, often because no site is owned. If your game is sponsored, expect that your sponsor will refuse to allow them.
Credit: GamesChartNot quite an affiliate program, but not quite advertising either. With GamesChart, a small icon is shown in game. Clicking this brings up a chart of games - hence the name - and revenue is earned from clicks on sponsored listings. Don't up your clicks with click fraud though.
These are all currently non-exclusive, so can be used with each other and other advertising APIs.
Competitions can provide a nice chunk of extra cash if you enter and, of course, win them.
Some sites hold regular competitions. Kongregate has regular weekly and monthly contests, which are automatically entered by submitting a game there. Competition is fierce, due to the quality of competing games and the fact that many top developers automatically add their games to Kongregate.
There are other competitions both from Kongregate and other sites, although these tend to be irregular. Prizes can vary, but may be in the multiple thousands of dollars. The bigger the prize, the harder it is to win.
In-Game Advertising
In-game advertsing networks are a popular method for earning money for developers. There are a number of networks available, although, if your game is sponsored, you may be restricted as to whether or not you can use any ad network, and, if ads are allowed, which network(s) you can use.
Credit: BannerfluxOriginally a banner network aimed at games portals, Bannerflux has expanded to include in game advertising. Currently, two ads are available, a pre-loader for whilst the game is loading, and an interstitial for using between levels. This network is smaller than CPMStar and MochiMedia, and appears to solely pay on a CPC basis.
Pros: Easy to join and the only branding sends visitors to the Bannerflux site itself.
Cons: No CPM ads, only one ad type available, although this is available as both a pre-loader and an inter-level ad.
Credit: CPMStarPros: CPMStar is popular with sponsors, no branding and a lower payment threshold than MochiMedia. Gives sponsors a revenue percentage from CPMStar's cut.
Cons: Difficult to join; as a developer you need a publisher to give you the advertising code, you can't just sign up as a developer. If you have your own site, you can join as a publisher, and use your own advertising code, but this is still not easy.
Credit: MochiMediaPros: MochiMedia is very easy to join with a number of advert formats. A wide range of other in-game APIs and tools, including Live Updates which allows a game to be modified after distribution. Proven payments.
Cons: Unpopular with many sponsors due to MochiMedia's creation of a competing web portal and the use of their APIs and ads to promote this for free. Sponsors don't want to pay money for a game that advertises a competitors product. Even though direct promotion of the portal has decreased, and is still being decreased, especially for big sponsors, it is still there. Any revenue sharing with a sponsor comes from the developer's cut.
Credit: NewgroundsNewgrounds provides a means of using CPMStar ads in a game, using Newgrounds as an intermediary. Payments are received from Newgrounds, not CPMStar.
Credit: Ninja KiwiMicro-transactions allow players to purchase in-game items of varying types. Although the currency used to pay for these items is electronic and has no real value, the currency itself is purchased using real money, given as a reward for signing up for offers or using mobile payment.
Actual means of purchasing an MT currency can vary from MT provider to MT provider.
The developer will get a monetary share of any sales made using an MT system. With the right type of game, this can provide a significantly greater income than that from ads alone.
Micro-transactions do tend to be unpopular with sponsors, and may hinder an attempt at getting a game sponsored. Properly integrated micro-transactions in the right type of game have the potential to make more money than a sponsorship. This is of course not a certainty.
Sites such as Kongregate may disallow MT systems or the logins needed to use such systems. In such cases, either MTs need to be left out, or the site's own system used, if possible.
There are a number of micro-transaction suppliers. Of these, only GamerSafe Gold and MochiCoins aren't effectively restricted to a single site.
GamerSafe provide the GamerSafe Gold MT System. Players need to be logged into their GamerSafe account in order to buy Gold or items.
Credit: KongregateKongregate provide their Kreds MT system. Users need to be logged into Kongregate in order to buy Kreds or items.
Credit: MindJoltOnly works with users of MindJolt.
Credit: MochiMediaMochiMedia provides the MochiCoins MT system. Players need to be logged into the Mochi system in order to purchase Coins or items.
As part of their concentration on their core business, MochiMedia have announced that they will be discontinuing MochiCoins from 15th October 2012.

"A stanced car is a car that is lowered. Though similar to the lowrider trend from decades past, stanced cars are usually modern tuner vehicles with custom wheels and suspensions that are modified to put the frame nearly right on the ground"
My son and i popped into the Capestance OTF2017 Motor Exhibition to have a look at some stanced-out BMWs that were on display.
One can simply not miss a standard Dakar Yellow E36 M3 - spotted outide the venue.
My favourite of the day
While there will always be of the die-harder BMW Fans (the milennial term for them is 'haters') that will not see the point of the stance game due to stance ethos being about looks over function & everything else.
They see it as a ruination of a good car. We cannot ignore this facet of the widened motor enthusiastic world. Stance has a huge a following globally and is growing rapidly amongst the young South African petrolheads too.
I have always found the stance look to be very much inspired by track machines. For eg bodykits, floor scraping ride heights, and wheels that are wider and bigger than standard.
The reason why other fans don't see any point in the stance 'look' is due to the vehicle being sacrificed of its full potential. As a daily driver a low vehicle would be a major inconvenience. Splitters and spoilers would need to be repaired or replaced constantly; tyres would wear out much more quickly etc etc. The way I look at it the law should actually be thankful for stance vehicles as their speed is much slower than the rest of the road users. But stance guys and girls prepare their car for one thing and one thing only, to park the vehicle so that it makes a statement when standing still. It's about the look. And as you can see from the pics. They look pretty sweet.
The stance scene is just another 'section' of our petrolhead world. We have race cars prepped for the track enthusiasts, we have off road cars prepped for off-road enthusiasts, we have drag racing cars prepped for drag racing enthusiasts, we have spin cars prepped for spin enthusiasts, we have modified road cars prepped for speed enthusiasts and so on and so on. For me if you are a true petrolhead you will learn to love every sector of the motoring world. It's all about the passion for cars.....Welcoming each others differences.

The Tiger Woods racism row looks set to overshadow this week's Australian Open after it was revealed that the former world No1 and his ex-caddie will be kept apart at the tournament in Sydney following Steve Williams' racial remarks against Woods.
Woods is preparing to make his first appearance in Sydney and was widely expected to be paired with home favourite Adam Scott for the opening two rounds in a high-profile pairing.
However, tournament director Tony Roosenburg ruled out the possibility after Williams described Woods as a "black a***hole" on Friday night.
Williams' current employer, the Australian Adam Scott, attracted further criticism over the weekend after he said his caddie meant no racial slur against Woods when he made the comment about the 14-time major champion at an awards dinner in Shanghai on Friday.
"I believe there is absolutely no room for racial discrimination in any walk of life, including the game of golf," Scott said in a statement issued today by tournament organisers.
"I have discussed this matter directly with Steve and he understands and supports my view on this subject. I also accept Steve's apology, knowing that he meant no racial slur with his comments."
Williams, who split from Woods in July, made the remarks as he accepted an award from BBC presenter Andrew Cotter at the 4 Nov. event attended by caddies and players at Shanghai's Le Meridien hotel.
The New Zealander was receiving an award for the year's best celebration - a nod to his tongue-in-cheek remark that Scott's victory at the Bridgestone Invitational in August was 'the best win of my career' - despite winning 13 majors with Woods.
Asked what the celebration was about, Williams said: "It was my aim to shove it right up that black a**hole."
Williams apologised the next day, saying he could see how his comments could be interpreted as racist and the U.S. and European Tours appeared to draw a line under the incident on Sunday, after they considered the matter closed despite Williams' "entirely unacceptable" remark.
Nevertheless, Scott's failure to sack Williams and the insipid response by the golfing authorities means the story will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire ahead of this week's tournament in Sydney.
But Scott, despite increasing pressure to dismiss Williams, remained unmoved on Sunday, saying: "I don't see it being an issue moving forward."
Scott has argued that Williams' comments should not have left the annual caddies' function - which was stipulated as being strictly "off the record" by organisers - and that the context had not been fairly represented. He grew frustrated on Sunday when asked if he was ignoring racism by refusing to discipline Williams. "Look, I don't think digging for a story out of me on this is a good idea," he said.
And two-time major champion Greg Norman appeared to back Scott's judgement, saying that Williams, who previously worked for him, isn't a racist.
"We've all made stupid comments at stupid times," Norman said at a televised news conference.
"Unfortunately his stupid comment became global news. Because of the temperature that was going on between the two of them, anything that is said or not said is going to exacerbate whatever that feeling is."
Golf's Racial Divide
However, the abject response of the golfing authorities highlights the inability of the sport to confront the issue of race within its current set-up.
Tiger Woods' emergence on the PGA Tour was supposed to open the sport up to black children and teenagers around the world. Yet fifteen years later black professionals on the PGA circuit still represent less than 1 per cent of America's 28,000 pros.
From 1996 onwards the golfing world sought to distance itself from the issue of race, as Wood's rise to the top appeared to counter every negative stereotype of golf as the domain of white, middle-class men.
As Laurence Donegan wrote back in 2008: "It [race] is also the source of self-delusion in the golf world, where the issue of race - or to put it another way, the "whiteness" of golf - is either dismissed as a "non-issue" or countered by arguing that golf can't be racist because its best player is black."
Now, with the former world No1 languishing down in 58th in the rankings, the awkward truth that needs to be address is that Tiger has not changed the colour of golf, in fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
Of the current crop of players on the PGA tour, there is precisely one other African-American golfer - 23-year-old Jason Bramlett, who got his Tour card this season. Vijay Singh, the other prominent player on the PGA tour with black skin, is Fijian.
Meanwhile, Woods' emergence was supposed to be the catalyst for a revolution in the golf world, one where scores of professional black golfers would follow, and the elitist, country-club image of the sport (particularly in America but also throughout the world) would be dismantled.
Today, 50 years after the end of the PGA's Caucasians-only rule allowed black men to play on the tour, there are still fewer than 85 African-American PGA club professionals. If one adds Hispanics and Asians (263 and 196 PGA members, respectively), then minorities comprise less than 2 per cent of all PGA pros. This is despite the fact that blacks, Asians and Hispanics comprise 21 per cent of golfers in America, according to the National Golf Foundation.
Williams' remark on Friday may indeed have been taken out of context, but the ease with which the comment was made highlights the rocky foundation on which golf's racial divide currently rests and is an explicit reminder that golf has an issue with race, a problem it appears reluctant to look inwards and address.

Cloud Computing: : "Software as a Service"
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Why "software as a service" is (or is not - pick one) going to dominate the next several years in information management.
The case for this module calls for you to explore some of the divergent opinions about this new approach to organizational information systems and weigh some of the competing claims. First off, if you don't know anything about computer networking or what a client/server netwiork is in particular, it's recommended that you start with this reasonably good short guide to network terminology (if you're already on top of this stuff, you can probably skip this one):
Sensible Computer Help (2008) Choosing the best computer network. Sensible-Computer-Help.com. Retrieved February 27, 2011, from http://www.sensible-computer-help.com/computer-network.html
With that foundation, you can now begin to learn about "the cloud." A good general reference to start with is here:
Chee, B. and Franklin, C. (2010) Applications for Clouds. Chapter 4 in Cloud Computing: Technologies and Strategies of the Ubiquitous Data Center. CRC Press. Retrieved November 15, 2010 from http://media.techtarget.com/searchSystemsChannel/downloads/Cloud_Computing_Techn_Strat_of_the_Ubiq_Data_Cent_Chapter_4.pdf (SEE ATTACHMENT)
As we noted in the introduction, a term often used more or less interchangeably with "cloud computing" (despite some significant differences of focus) is "software as a service" - described as a software distribution model in which applications are hosted by a vendor or service provider and made available to customers over a network, typically the Internet. The following article discusses some of the difficulties with organizational implementation of this model:
Fornes, D. (2010) The Software as a Service Dilemma. The Software Advice Blog. Retrieved November 10, 2010, from http://www.softwareadvice.com/articles/uncategorized/the-software-as-a-service-dilemma-104071/
Finally, this discussion would not be complete without the views of the skeptic; the following article points out some of the all-too-apparent complications that might ensue from a wholesale stampede into the clouds:
Schneier, B. (2009) Cloud Computing. Schneier on Security. Retrieved November 15, 2010 from http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/06/cloud_computing.html
But back to the enthusiasts. SaasBlogs is a website that, in its own words, is "a community centered around the idea that Software as a Service (SAAS) represents the largest shift in the software industry in decades. We cover ideas, technologies, challenges, and business strategies related to this new and exciting paradigm." Basically, it's a lot of blog posts primarily authored by three experts, addressing a very wide range of topics related to SaaS deployment, use, and effects. It's a very good place to see how people committed to this model think and what they bring to the table. In fact, it's so good at this that it's going to be your primary source material for this case assignment.
Scrolling down the SaasBlogs home page points you to the archive of posts on various aspects of this issue. You should spend some time looking through these posts for discussions of things that you find interesting relating to SaaS operation, implementation, or results. Perhaps they will relate directly to issues in your own environment; perhaps they will remain largely academic - but in either case, you should be alert to the language of the discussion and how both technical and social issues are being talked about. There are also other SaaS-related blog sites that you may wish to look at (google a few and see what you find).
In addition, the Background Readings page lists some optional readings that may be useful to you as you consider these issues, or you may find other sources yourself (be sure to reference properly whatever specific sources you draw on).
When you've read through the articles and related material and thought about them carefully, please compose a short paper on the topic:

Solution Preview
Step 1
Software as a service is going to dominate the next several years in information technology. It has the potential of making work simple and cost effective for the information technology manager. Further, most web-based services are becoming more comprehensive and provide high standard services. The quality of hosted services is improving very quickly.
Step 2
Software as a service has several characteristics that have high potential. It is sold on demand by the hour. Next, the user can have as much of the service it needs. Also, the service is fully managed by the provider. Most importantly, if there is any improvement or innovation, these are distributed to customers. Software as a service is likely to impact information technology because of its potential of decreasing costs.
Step 3
Let us consider some specific services available now. Amazon Web Services allows access to "virtual server instance." This enables the user to start, stop, and configure his virtual server and storage. The company has to pay for only that much capacity as is needed. The user has the flexibility of increasing or decreasing the capacity used.
Step 4
Also users are currently able to use platform-as-a-service in which they can develop software on the service provider's software. Developers create applications over the Internet. Some examples of platform-as-a-service are GoogleApps and Force.com. In future there will be interoperability or data portability in ...

There is no shortcut when cutting corners, only heartache and frustration when it becomes exposed. Along with a loss of reputation that has lasting damage. There is a lot of trust that is put into a label and those who stand by it. So, it is quite troubling when major suppliers embarrass themselves by hoodwinking their customers, as noted in this post from Sister Earth Organics:
Due to modern farming techniques it is virtually impossible to get the required nutrients to build the Better You without supplements. Even with a serious commitment and a diet entirely of organics, supplements are still necessary to provide the essential array of vitamins and minerals for a healthy body. Combine this with the desire to save a few bucks and the effort become more daunting.
It is key have a supplement line that is tested, trusted, and has a reputation that is backed by an impartial organization. Professional athletes, a board of doctors, and individuals accepting the challenge to cleanse and be healthy trust in verifiable products. Use them to bring forth the Better You.

An upscale restaurant in Tel Aviv has been accused of deceiving customers in a lawsuit charging the establishment of listing dishes as containing beef in the menu, but presenting unsuspecting diners with pork instead, Arutz Sheva reports.
According to a class-action lawsuit filed by attorney Nataly Swery, the Zepra restaurant on Yigal Alon Street in Tel Aviv regularly served pig meat in dishes advertised as beef. Swery made the discovery after eating at Zepra in February 2013, Arutz Sheva says. Afterwards, a former employee of the restaurant informed her that she had in all likelihood been fed pork, even though the menu clearly specified the item contained beef.
Zepra does not bear kosher certification.
A private investigator was hired to help determine if the pork claim was valid. Indeed it was.

It is a fact that almost all business these days have a website, but recently a good website is no longer enough for those who really want to be successful and are looking to increase their market share. Social media is a very large part of any person's life and it is the newest advertisement tool for many people. Of course, having just social media accounts in not enough either. The idea is to find the optimum balance between the website and social media platforms in order to obtain the best possible results. Technology is constantly evolving and business owners need to keep up with everything new if they want to survive in a highly competitive market. To this extent, make sure you speak with your web designer Okotoks about linking your website to all the social media platforms you have an account on and you will definitely notice an increase in your traffic.
Furthermore, the design of your website will definitely influence the amount of traffic you receive on your Facebook or Pinterest account. Even if your company can be found on the most popular social media platforms of the moment, if the user does not know about them, they are very likely to remain unknown. These days the traffic is split between the actual website and other popular platforms where customers can find your company, so you should be able to direct the traffic from one page to another and this way increase your exposure considerably. Of course, if those who reach your website from your Facebook page are disappointed by what they find, they will not be inclined to use your products or services and thus you risk losing a big part of your potential customers.
This is why it is very important to hire a talented web designer Okotoks who can do a wonderful job displaying all your products and services on the website and making it fun for everyone to discover everything. In addition, when you have a good web design, those who visit your website will be more tempted to visit your social media platform too and thus you have more chances to convince them to buy your products or hire your services. Linking the website with other platforms is very important for any company and business owners should make sure it is done properly.
Having an online presence is very important these days for those who want to maintain their popularity and attract more customers. Since everyone uses the internet from various devices, it is vital to have an account everywhere customers might want to find you and that includes the main social media platforms as well as having a well-designed website. This way you can be sure you will have the highest possible chances to convince your customers about the quality of your products and services and make a lasting impression on everyone that reaches your page. Companies such as Pulse Wave Media offer their clients reliable web design services at great rates, so you can be sure you can find someone experienced to design you a good website.
