Mikey Pauker (pronounced pow-ker) is a folk/world artist from Berkeley, California. His new album, ASCENSION, is an invitation to listen to the call of our inner wilderness and to greet our darkness with understanding and an open heart. It was recorded in raw, live instrumental sessions — a departure from Mikey's more electronic past recordings — under the guidance of Grammy-nominated producer Warren Huart (The Fray, Trevor Hall, Matisyahu). With songs like "Say Yes" and "I AM", listeners are elevated with catchy melodic hooks and reggae/rock beats. The "RISE Vulnerable Rally" music video swept the world touching the hearts of over 1 million viewers this past year.
Growing up in Orange County, Mikey's early experiences at underground shows exposed him to the intense, primal energy of live music, as well as the strong community bonds that form in an authentic and close-knit scene. Inspired by teachers who blend yoga and mystical practices he went to study in Jerusalem, soaking up the hidden teachings of his ancestral lineage. These spiritual dimensions guided his artistic development as he explored ecstatic music festivals and mystical religious traditions. His music implores us all to look within, sit with our darkness, and transform it into light. Mikey's sound blends elements of folk, reggae, and hip-hop, incorporating English and Hebrew roots into his devotional songwriting. Mikey's music draws from influences such as early Bob Marley, Van Morrison, and The Police, and listeners will immediately identify his style to the likes of Michael Franti, Trevor Hall and artists such as Mike Love and Stick Figure.
This past year Mikey has supported Rebelution, Stephen Marley, Matisyahu, Dovavon Frankenreiter, The Polish Ambassador, Mike Love, and Stop Light Observations. Notable performance highlights include Reggae On The Rocks, Suwanne Hullaween, Electric Forest, Beloved, Bhakti Fest, Enchanted Forest, and Chant 4 Change on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Mikey has been featured in TIME magazine as one of the 10 Stars of The New Jewish Music. He is also the music director of the center of earth-based judaism: Wilderness Torah.

Touring Artist
A Texas native, Joe Buchanan makes Jewish Americana music. Grounded in the idea that there is always room at the table, Joe's music highlights the values, Torah, and history of the Jewish people to deliver stories steeped in the struggle and triumph of the human spirit, all while praising Gd for the goodness in life. It's music that you can crank up to 18.
Raised with one foot in Houston and one in the Texas Hill Country, Joe grew up swinging off ropes on the Frio River and spending time like any kid – trying to figure out what was what. The biggest question was about Gd and despite a deep belief in a creator, he couldn't find much that he agreed with in what he was hearing. The struggle led to more struggles and he finally decided that he and Gd would sort it out later.
Then one day, about 13 years into his marriage, Joe found out that his wife was Jewish. Now, with the discovery of his wife's heritage, their family started down a path that would change everything. From the first class and a million questions to the mikvah and beyond, Judaism answered every spiritual question and brought an incredible amount of healing. There is one Gd, we can see Gd in the world and in others, we are going to struggle – that's ok, we are not damaged goods by any means, and this is the life that matters because this is the one we've been given. Amen.
In the five years since his conversion, this Americana artist from Houston, TX has truly found his voice in the history, Torah, and values of the Jewish people. He's toured the United States, leading an original Shabbat service, playing concerts, and giving a workshop called "Choosing to be Chosen" which is all around his conversion to Judaism and the reasons why so many are coming home. Combining elements of country, roots-rock, and folk, Joe's music reaches deep to tell personal stories of struggle and triumph. This is feel-good, toe-tapping, Americana with a Jewish Soul.
His debut album, Unbroken, is filled with music that speaks to the incredible beauty of finding a home after a lifetime of searching. Produced by The Pioneer of Jewish Blues, Saul Kaye (www.saulkaye.com), and recorded live off the floor at the world famous Fantasy Studios, Unbroken is 14 tracks of Original, Jewish Americana.

ATEN's CC2000 Management Software provides IT administrators with the tools they need to access and control their entire distributed data center environment. It has been updated over the previous version and delivers new features such as VMware support. Offering convenient, economical, and centralized management of all IT devices, it puts administrators in complete control of their remote data centers and branch offices no matter where in the world they are deployed.
When used in conjunction with KVM over IP switches, Serial Console Servers, and Power Over the NET devices, the CC2000 management software allows IT administrators to remotely monitor and control all installed devices like blade servers and virtual machines. The CC2000's Primary-Secondary architecture safeguards data transmissions through built-in redundancy factors including automated database backup of Primary servers, Secondary servers, and devices, as well as real-time database updating. Redundancy ensures that should any of the CC2000 servers go down, the CC2000 management system will keep functioning since a redundant Secondary unit provides the required services until the Primary unit comes back up. With the double redundancy feature, each Secondary server can have its own redundant Secondary server, which ensures smooth management of all your devices.
The CC2000´s patented Panel DynaArray mode lets administrators view the output of multiple ports in individual panels on the same screen. Under this mode, the video output of each selected device displays in its own panel on the screen. To access and manage the device, simply move the mouse pointer over its panel and click. Included along with this software program are licenses that allow you to create 1 primary server and 1 secondary server as well as 512 nodes.

Simple food swaps and lifestyle choices can boost your health and prolong your life. Paula Goodyer gives you a glimpse of your bright future.
Trawl the net, and you'll find plenty of dietary supplements claiming to help slow ageing and promote longevity. But if you're looking for solid evidence about what lifts our odds of living a long and healthy life, you need to know that habits have proved more powerful than pills.
The combination of following a well-balanced diet, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight and shunning smoking is your best bet. These moves result in a huge reduction, of up to 80 per cent, in the risks of the most common chronic diseases — heart disease, diabetes and cancer — according to Healthy Living Is the Best Revenge, the wonderfully titled 2009 study of more than 23,000 European adults. Furthermore, a large Dutch survey of 120,000 people has concluded that these same four healthy habits can add an extra eight to 15 years to your life.
All these numbers add up to one simple fact: you often need make only small changes to reap big rewards — especially if you revamp your diet and ramp up the amount of movement in your day.
So is the way you're eating improving your health and lengthening your lifespan? An important new study from University College London — which underscores the benefit of sneaking extra vegies into your diet — may help you decide.
When researchers analysed the lifestyle data of more than 65,000 adults, they found that the more fruit and vegetables subjects were eating, the less likely they were to die at any age. Although the biggest benefit came with eating seven serves of fruit and veg a day — especially vegetables — study author Dr Oyinlola Oyebode, PhD, stresses that people shouldn't feel daunted by this daily target.
"Whatever your starting point, it's always worth eating more fruit and vegetables," she says. "In our study, even subjects who were eating one to three serves had a significantly lower mortality risk than those who were eating less than one."
Better health starts with baby steps towards better eating habits, agrees dietitian Dr Helen O'Connor, PhD, a senior lecturer in The University of Sydney's Discipline of Exercise and Sport Science. Her advice? Make small gradual changes that are easy to sustain rather than adopt a sudden and dramatic diet makeover that's hard to maintain.
As for exercise's positive effects on your health and longevity, those baby steps work better as grown-up strides. Walking is an easy way to boost your well-being, and many studies confirm that just 30 minutes of physical activity a day does the trick: You'll not only halve your risks of diabetes and heart disease, but also reduce your chances of developing colon cancer and breast cancer, two of the most common cancers affecting Australians, says Tim Crowe, PhD, associate professor in nutrition at Victoria's Deakin University.
"Studies show that for people who are recovering from or at risk of either of these cancers, physical activity can reduce the risk of recurrence or onset," explains Crowe. "However, the reason is still unclear — it could be movement's positive influence on the immune system or its effect on growth hormones that increase the risk of cancer."
If you want to move even more, but the idea of running makes you burrow deeper into the couch, the heartening results of a major new US study might just coax you into your shorts. Running for a mere seven minutes a day (yes, just seven!), even at a slow pace, can reduce the risk of death from all causes by nearly a third, according to the study, which was published in Journal of the American College of Cardiology. In other words, you can do your health a big favour in the time it takes to make a phone call or have a shower.
Best of all, it's never too late to start: A 2009 Swedish study concluded that men who became more physically active at the age of 50 had the same reduced mortality risk at 60 as men who'd been active for a longer time. So let's get moving!
Swapping fast food for home-made meals is a healthy move. A 2012 survey of Taiwanese people aged over 65 shows that those who ate home-cooked meals at least five times a week were 47 per cent more likely to be alive 10 years later (compared with those who never cooked).
Food doesn't get much faster than tossing a fresh garden salad and sizzling juicy lean meat on the barbecue — and simple home cooking puts you in control of the ingredients.
Takeaway foods and pre-prepared meals can be too high in salt and unhealthy fats, such as trans fats. If you're used to buying a lot of takeaway food, eating even one home-made evening meal a week is a start. Gradual changes are easier to make, and evidence shows they're more sustainable.
Switch to a breakfast cereal based on traditional oats, or to a variety made from wholegrains. This simple swap can make you feel full for longer, so look for high-fibre products.
Sitting at the table to eat makes you more aware of what you're eating and more likely to feel satisfied, but eating in front of the TV can have the opposite effect. You're likely to eat mindlessly, and studies suggest you'll probably eat more.
Swap ham for hoummos in wraps and sandwiches, bacon for mushrooms (with breakfast eggs), and butter for avocado on toast. Cooking pasta with pesto? Replace half of the pasta with steamed cauliflower and toss with pesto for comfort food that delivers extra veg.
You can make a salad dressing in less time than it takes to track down a commercial variety — and enjoy its many health benefits. Simply whisk olive oil and a vinegar of your choice with a dollop of seeded mustard.
Studies link olive-oil consumption to lower risks of heart disease and stroke, and though this may be due to the antioxidant properties of the oil itself, it could also be because olive oil makes vegetables taste so good that we simply eat more of them!
Extra-virgin olive oil delivers more antioxidants than any other olive oil does, says Associate Professor Catherine Itsiopoulos, head of the Department of Dietetics and Human Nutrition at Melbourne's La Trobe University and author of The Mediterranean Diet.
Unsalted raw nuts are the ultimate snack. Even when you allow for nut eaters' other healthy habits that might explain their lower rates of heart disease, your health will still benefit from eating nuts alone. So why are nuts such a heart-healthy nibble? Experts are still unsure, but it's probably thanks to their mix of essential nutrients, such as healthy fats, vitamin E, zinc and magnesium.
It's tempting to outsource household chores, but pushing the mower or picking up the mop could lengthen your lifespan. When US-based researchers followed 302 people aged 70 to 82 over eight years, they found that those who were the most physically active with everyday tasks (such as housework, shopping and gardening) were more likely to live longer than their less-active peers.
People with long lives share two key healthy-lifestyle factors: they have social networks, and they practise some purposeful physical activity. This doesn't mean they're donning Lycra for a gym session; it means they're doing everyday activities, such as walking to the shops or working in the garden. Walk with friends, and you'll tick two boxes at once.
If you commute to a sedentary job on public transport during the week, stand rather than sit whenever possible, says Emmanuel Stamatakis, PhD, associate professor of exercise, health and physical activity at The University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre.
Research into the risks of prolonged sitting is in its early days, says Stamatakis, but the evidence we have suggests that the main problem with sitting for long periods is that your blood-glucose levels can increase, heightening your risk of diabetes. Idle muscles are the problem: Blood glucose is fuel for active muscles, so when muscles are inactive, glucose builds up in the blood.But before you quit your desk job, consider Stamatakis's comment that "even the small contractions that muscles make when we're standing or moving may help counteract this".
People who enjoy long lives eat plenty of vegetables, but any extra serve of veg is beneficial. Add vegies to dishes such as curries and pasta sauces instead of cooking them separately. This way, vegies stop being a pile on the side of the plate and become part of the dish, which some people find more appealing.
Legumes (such as beans, lentils and chickpeas) count as vegetables, too, and a 2004 University of Melbourne study links them to longevity. Adding canned legumes to casseroles, curries and soups is another easy way to add extra nutrients and filling fibre.
Whether it's climbing a flight of stairs or stepping onto the escalator (instead of taking the lift), walking up stairs is a good-health 'best buy' that helps improve cardiovascular fitness in people who don't exercise regularly.
When sedentary young women increased their daily stair-climbing time from two minutes to 10 minutes over a period of eight weeks for a UK study, they improved their cardiovascular fitness by nearly 20 per cent.
Seize any opportunity to climb stairs. It's an excellent form of physical activity that you can build into your life without having to make plans or use special equipment.

The Organiztion
The Mentoring Men's Movement is a 501(c)(3) organization established as a response to the question: Where are the men? We understood that far too many of our men are under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Justice System; either incarcerated or under the supervision of Probation or Parole. Consequently, many of our communities are suffering from the lack of positive role models and leadership.
The founders of the organization, George Jurand, Floyd D. Johnson, M.S., Dr. Martin Jones, and Brother Clint Sockwell officially established the organization in December of 2011. However, the founders and other members of the community under the leadership of Michael "Chappie" Grice, had been gathering for several years prior at a monthly "Men's Breakfast" where the foundation was being laid for the Mentoring Men's Movement.

CLASSIC – Community Leadership and Student Service in College.
Every year, The College of Saint Rose puts together a leadership workshop that is called "Fall CLASSIC". To put it simply, it's a leadership retreat, where you do various workshops hosted by clubs and is led by the Student Association. But what lies beyond this leadership building are the bonds that are created with others. Last year, when I attended my first Fall Classic session, I created bonds with people who I would never have met before. It was a great experience and gave me the confidence I needed to step up in my college career and become a leader in the music department. I used the skills I acquired in order to gain more respect in my department, become a leader in music groups, and accept myself overall for who I am. This year, I hope to use the skills I learned to become a leader not only in college, but in my future career as a performer, educator, and (hopefully) an administrator in a school setting.
ANYWAY. Let me give you the run down of everything that happened!
We arrived at Lake George's Silver Bay YMCA at around 5:00 p.m. Unfortunately, like the year before, the weather was not ideal; clouds roamed over the sky and fog rolled in over the mountains. But did that stop us from having fun? Heck no! We (the students) went to our prospective dormitories at either Bayview or The Inn. After unpacking and getting settled, we ventured to dinner in the dining hall and got to listen to a fabulous opening speaker and participate in an interesting ice breaker activity – acting out a hilarious scripted play! After these activities, we had some down time and went straight to bed! (Actually, my friends and I cuddled all night, but that's a different story).
Let the workshop fun begin! The clubs that hosted these leadership workshops were Identity, Adventure Club, Spectrum, and Outside the [Box]. From trust falls to acting out scenarios, each club did a great job directing students into activities that helped them grow as individuals and as leaders. My personal favorite activity was led by Spectrum – each person had to act out a "difficult conversation" (AKA an awkward/difficult situation) and discuss how we would approach that situation. It was great to broaden our minds with such controversial topics. After those workshops (and nomming on delicious food, provided by the Silver Bay YMCA), we got to do some large group activities and have some free time! There was kayaking, yoga, learning how to Step with the ALANA Steppers, and (my personal favorite) learning how to knit/crochet! After this large block of time, dinner was served, and we headed over to a Fall CLASSIC tradition: KARAOKE, hosted by the amazing and fabulous Ann Wilkening! Students got to perform and (in this case) dance along to some of their favorite songs. My friend Brett and I were able to perform the song "Survivor" and represent our a capella group, The Golden Notes! It was honestly the most fun I've had in a long time. After fun at karaoke, there was a bon fire and a viewing of the movie Horrible Bosses. However, my friends and I took it upon ourselves to play Taboo and cuddle in bed. We had a great time!
The last day of Fall CLASSIC was short and sweet, and definitely ended with a bang! After breakfast, students got to attend their last leadership session. After some packing and winding down, we all headed over to hear from our fabulous closing speaker, student, Resident Assistant, and friend, TinaMarie Stoltz. Having known her since freshmen year (we lived on the same floor and became friends early on), I thought it was absolutely amazing to hear her talk to us and inspire us with her own story. She discussed leadership and the negative aspects that it can bring. She explained that while fear of many things can dampen your calling to be a leader, we have to find it within ourselves to rise above our fears, conquer them, and become the leader we're meant to be. Using The Princess Diaries and her own organization, Girls 4 God (G4G), she shared her own personal struggles and talked about how she has slowly been able to fight against her fear and become the person she was meant to be. She was absolutely inspirational, and I am so proud to be her friend. After her amazing speech, all the student participants of Fall Classic took a group picture, and headed back on the lovely CDTA coach buses back to Saint Rose.
As you can see, this was a great weekend filled with inspiration, fun, and most importantly, leadership building. I hope that everyone that participated in Fall Classic was able to take away something positive and is able to use it to make themselves a better leader. I know I certainly did!
Thanks so much for reading! See you next week! 🙂

Volunteering at Radio Wulfrun
Should you wish to join us, we are always interested in hearing from candidates who display a mature and committed attitude. It is worth noting that we welcome prospective members, who are retired or semi retired. No experience is required, training will be given where required.
Fundraising is an important element to the upkeep of Radio Wulfrun and as such membership will be subject to taking part in fundraising events.
Please contact us and we will be happy to send you an application form, or you can download the Application Form
Please send your completed application forms to :
The Recruitment Officer,
Radio Wulfrun,
New Cross Hospital,
Work Experience
Many students write to us asking for a week or two of work experience. Unfortunately, we are unable to facilitate these requests, as none of our members are available on a full-time basis. This will be true with most small voluntary organisations and if you need a placement as part of a course, you may find that contacting an organisation such as a local radio station or newspaper would be more beneficial to your needs.
We welcome potential members who can offer a long-term commitment to the Radio Wulfrun and who will stay with us for many years. Therefore, it is only right that we favour enquiries from people who can spare the necessary time in order to make a worthwhile commitment and contribution. It has been proved that members who have been with us a number of years have been successful in obtaining positions within the Media (although this cannot be guaranteed).
Hospital Radio for Careers in Media
Many Careers Officers do recommend hospital radio as useful experience for people who are interested in careers within the media. This is partially true and experience gained in joining Radio Wulfrun will no doubt help in any career progression.
Radio Wulfrun likes to place the patients' musical tastes above our own. Therefore, you can expect to play the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Jim Reeves and Katherine Jenkins. These will often be more popular than the latest chart artists.
When we undertake our interviewing and selection, we look at how long a potential member may stay with us. With this in mind a student who is six months away from starting a university course is unlikely to be offered membership. It will take three months to train an individual (and this will be Ward Walking only) and a possible further two months to go through all the security checks required by the NHS Trust. Therefore, it would not be economically viable to expend time and resources in training an individual for such a short period of time.

we're on the same hymnsheet, ASI. I agree with all your points above (with the exception of Kelly). I have never rated Johnston. Aquilini was a bizarre buy - given his price and bad injury.
The point however is, that Utd, Chelsea and now City can afford expensive mistakes - we cannot. They have bought lots of expensive flops too. But we don't have any wriggle room, to change things around easily or cover our mistakes. They do.
But look at the superb spine that Rafa created. And all on a net shoe can you see Roy (or anyone else) ever again hammer Utd and Real Madrid, by 4 goals to one, in the same week? That was Rafa's pedigree. Others can only dream of that.
My sadness is that Rafa wasn't around at a time when we had a decent budget to spend. We will never now know, how great he could have made us.
It's not that I'm not critical of Roy, just won't call for his head during his first season. It's a principle I have and stand by. Didn't do it with Souey, Roy, GH or Rafa and won't start now.
You can't have set rules when it comes to decisions about a manager. You have to look at things like what players we could lose because of a system they clearly can't adapt to. Would you rather keep Roy but lose Torres in January?
Looking at his early years he did buy some good players using his knowledge of the Spanish league. But his knowledge of the better English players was limited. I think he worked on the principle that if you get enough players then by the law of averages you will get some bargains. Look at the number of players on the books when Roy took charge. he was mortified!
I don't know to be perfectly honest. For the last 3 seasons Torres' been out injured pretty much half that time, the rest of the time he hasn't contributed at all.
I know, on his day he's arguably the best striker in the world. But it's also the case that few are the times he's lifted the team on his own. I'm not saying he's crap, only that both sides of the coin should be taken into consideration.
Would I keep Torres at any cost? No, as no player will ever be bigger than the club. But I think we'll slowly recover from this poor and to some extent unlucky start to the season and Torres will inevitably find form. If he wants to leave what can you do about it (ask Fergie). I know he doesn't look less happy now he did last season.
In any case, I don't think we're playing any worse than we did last season under Rafa.
Our dismal transfer record really started when we lost Pako and Paco and Macia came in instead as chief scout.
In addition Rafa never seemed to indentify a position that needed strengthening and purchase accordingly.Whether his budget was a 'use or lose it' one, he would appear to spend for the sake of it sometimes. Riera purchased in the Summer as Babbel was coming off his first, and at the time promising, season an example.
His lowest priority seemed to be strikers. Probably shows the cautious nature of the man.
Rijkaard seems to be a free agent. I would have huge reservations about him. For me he would be a very un Liverpool type of manager and hasnt exactly set the world alight since leaving Barcelona.The more I think about it I know Dude and Tes were big advocates of this guy Pelligrini and he really does appeal were Roy to get the sack. He had Villarreal playing some excellent football.Just looking at his pedigree;With Villarreal he finished 3rd, 7th (semis of the Champs League), 5th, 2nd, 5th. Thats no easy feat with the teams that are in La Liga.Real Madrid in 09/10 he finished 2nd on a record 96 points. If he had a star billing like Mourihno would he have been sacked, I doubt it.http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/oct/20/frank-rijkaard-galatasaray-liverpoolRijkaard linked to job at LiverpoolFrank Rijkaard's contract as coach of Galatasaray has been terminated by mutual agreement, the club said today.The former Uefa Cup champions are ninth in the Turkish championship after eight games, eight points adrift of leaders Bursaspor. They lost 4-2 against mid-table side Ankaragucu on Sunday. The Dutchman was appointed by the Istanbul club in 2009 after leaving Barcelona the previous year."As a result of mutual talks with technical director Frank Rijkaard ... we have decided to part ways," read a Galatasaray statement.Rijkaard's availability has already led to speculation that he could replace Roy Hodgson as Liverpool manager. The 63-year-old Englishman has endured a torrid start to his tenure at Anfield and the club are in the relegation zone after almost a quarter of the season.The odds on Rijkaard replacing Hodgson tumbled today and the Dutchman was 5/2 favourite with William Hill this morning. Martin O'Neill (10/3), Kenny Dalglish (5/1) and Guus Hiddink (8/1) are next on the list.
Rijkaard's record since Henk Ten Cate left as his assistant whilst at a Barca has been dismal. He's still living on past reputation from when Cate was his assistant. It's similar to when Houllier lost Patrice Bergues and Benitez lost Pako Ayesteran.For me Pellegrini has shown two assets. He's shown the ability to take a very moderate team and improve them beyond what you'd expect, whilst at the same time improving the players individually, Rossi and Forlan being prime examples.Secondly, to be able to take that collection of egos and such an unbalanced squad with many new additions altogether and mould them into a team that finish with a record points total, better than anything Capello or Del Bosque achieved, was a terrific achievement. I realise they didn't beat Barca to the title, but then again, that Barca team is incredibly settled with many of the players having played together through the junior ranks as well as the first and together for their country in addition.He'd also play the type of football which would better suit the likes of Torres, Gerrard, Cole, Maxi and Meireles and would utilise Agger's abilities better.

Today's the day! You've come across Writing Task 1 in your IELTS prep. In this IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, you need to write a letter responding to a given situation, explaining the situation or requesting information. In this task, you should spend 20 minutes to write a 150-word letter. The letter can be personal, semi-formal, or formal based on the situation. Here are some useful tips for writing letters in IELTS General Training for you to get better knowledge on the letter format as well as on how to structure your letter.
Read Instructions Carefully
The instruction tells you about the purpose, content, and recipient of your letter. Here is a sample task from the British Council.
A friend has agreed to look after your house and pet while you are on holiday. Write a letter to your friend.
In your letter
- give contact details for when you are away
- give instructions about how to care for your pet
- describe other household duties
Obviously, the recipient is your friend and the purpose is to give detailed information on looking after your house and pet. So, the three bullet points should be the main content of your letter.
Understand Different Types of Letter
There are three types of letters in the IELTS: a formal letter, a personal letter, or a semi-formal letter. We explain these more in the Magoosh IELTS prep product.
Formal letters: writing to someone you don't know, such as a company
Semi-formal letters: writing to someone you don't know well, such as your professor
Personal letters: writing to someone you know very well, such as a friend.
Therefore, the previous example is a personal letter. Also, check out our post on formal and informal writing in the IELTS to learn more about the language use in different situations.
Use Proper Opening and Closing
There are different ways to open and close a letter based on who you are writing to.
Formal letters
Opening: Dear Sir/Madam
Closing: Yours faithfully + your full name
Semi-formal letters
Opening: Dear Mr./Miss/Mrs.+ the last name of the recipient
Closing: Yours sincerely + your full name
Personal letters
Opening: Dear + the first name of the recipient
Closing: Best regards + your first name
Structure Your Letter
Paragraph 1: Directly state the purpose of your letter in formal and semi-formal letters. Here are some useful sentences you can use in your writing.
Formal and semi-formal letters:
I am writing this letter with regard to…
I am writing to express my…
I am writing to inform you…
Personal letters usually include a greeting first and then state the purpose:
How are you doing?
I hope you are doing well.
How have you been?
Main body: In the main body, you can use three paragraphs to cover the bullet points one by one. Also, think of some relevant details to enrich the content of your letter.
Conclusion paragraph: Usually, you can use the last paragraph to call to action, express thanks or ask for a response. Here are some examples.
Formal/Semi-formal letters:
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Personal letters:
I can't wait to hear from you.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.

This has happened to me before, in a way, where I go to sleep at night and awaken in a parallel universe. On Tuesday night, I went to sleep and woke up the next day to find it was Monday morning again. Somehow I had slipped backwards in time into a world identical to the one I had left in all respects except for the date. Nothing had changed.
After an election that consumed billions of dollars and decades (in man-hours spent) of airtime, tweets, blog posts and cocktail party chatter, Obama was still the president, the Democrats still controlled the Senate and the Republicans had a substantial majority in the House. Nothing had changed.
The nation was still facing serial crises, ranging from the Middle East mess, the economic mess, the education mess and all the rest of the bugbears that have plagued us for so long now. Nothing had changed.
Some disagree. The media and the web reverberate with clanging elocution insisting that all bets are off. Most of these claims are bizarre in nature.
Some proclaim that Obama now has a clear mandate to implement whatever agenda (we still have not been made privily to what it might actually be) he chooses to inflict on a now submissive nation and legislature. One pundit on Facebook, seeing in this election an overwhelming endorsement for Obama and the Democrats, asserted their newly-minted mandate thus:
My point was not just Obama v. Romney. It was the totality. Across the nation, in almost every major race, a paradigm shift. That's not perspective, that's fact.
Ummm…fact? Facts are provable, of a gemlike hardness, and beyond dispute. Of course it's "perspective," and badly-warped perspective at that. You would think that this culture maven, who claims to be a journalist, and who has written for the New York Times, the New Yorker and Harvard Magazine (!) would know the difference between fact and opinion. Well, you would hope they did. Wouldn't you?
But we find this sentiment everywhere, especially in Paul Krugman's latest column, where he urges Obama to call the Republican bluff and throw the nation off the fiscal cliff if the GOP won't concede the entire field of play to him. No compromises, no "grand bargains," just a repeat of the first term's catastrophic "my way or the highway" approach that guaranteed gridlock:
So President Obama has to make a decision, almost immediately, about how to deal with continuing Republican obstruction. How far should he go in accommodating the G.O.P.'s demands?
My answer is, not far at all. Mr. Obama should hang tough, declaring himself willing, if necessary, to hold his ground even at the cost of letting his opponents inflict damage on a still-shaky economy. And this is definitely no time to negotiate a "grand bargain" on the budget that snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.
Yikes. Does he really think that Obama is in a better position now than he was last Monday?
Both the Bush-era tax cuts and the Obama administration's payroll tax cut are set to expire, even as automatic spending cuts in defense and elsewhere kick in thanks to the deal struck after the 2011 confrontation over the debt ceiling. And the looming combination of tax increases and spending cuts looks easily large enough to push America back into recession.
Nobody wants to see that happen. Yet it may happen all the same, and Mr. Obama has to be willing to let it happen if necessary.
Yup. That's what he's saying — that Obama should "push us back into a recession" if he doesn't get everything he wants. Republicans have no further voice. The "mandate" says so.
Krugman was demonstrably whacky before the election, but even his most loyal apologists have to concede that, face it, he's gone completely round the bend now.
So where does that leave us? A president with the same divided legislature he had before the election. A country with the same deep disagreements. And a chorus of Krugmans spouting nonsense of the most remarkable inanity, insisting that they have a semi-divine mandate, and that we have no choice but to accept it.
Nothing has changed.

Investigations into the stock growth and land use of wild boar in the national park and adjacent agricultural areas have been carried out since October 2016 as part of the wild boar research project in cooperation with the Regional Hunting Association of Thuringia and the Forest Research and Competence Centre Gotha – ThüringenForst AöR.
With the help of methods such as GPS telemetry and photo traps, our knowledge of wild boar adapting to life in a mosaic of habitats with very different anthropogenic uses and sometimes high food resources is to be increased.
Based on the results of the project, recommendations for wildlife management in the national park and neighbouring hunting districts as well as for the management of agricultural land in the region are to be developed and discussed with all parties involved.
Please visit the project website www.schwarzwild-hainich.de for further information.

Prayers for peace requested after renewed fighting in South Sudan
World Mission partners and co-workers are reporting renewed fighting in Malakal, Upper Nile State, South Sudan. For the past few weeks, there have been increasing inter-ethnic tensions in Malakal, which serves as a base for both South Sudanese military forces and a number of ethnic militias. These groups have clashed on a number of occasions on the outskirts of Malakal, prompting many civilians to flee their homes and seek refuge in a United Nations shelter. On April 21, fighting broke out in Malakal, reportedly among ethnic militias allied to and armed by South Sudanese government forces. Leaders of the PC(USA)'s partner, the Presbyterian Church of South Sudan, have asked for prayers for peace and responsible leadership. "Pray for South Sudan," they plead, "so God will provide leaders who will save the people." They've also asked for prayers for United Nations officials to be able to effectively carry out their mandate to secure peace in the region. Prayers are also requested for the security and protection of all people in conflict-torn South Sudan, including our sisters and brothers in the Presbyterian Church of South Sudan and the South Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church, the faculty, staff and students at Nile Theological College, which recently reopened in Malakaal, and the nine PC(USA) mission co-workers serving there. Debbie Braaksma, who was a mission co-worker in South Sudan and is now World Mission's coordinator for the Africa office feels deeply the pain of her brothers and sisters there. "The situation in South Sudan is tragic; tens of thousands of people have been killed and 2 million more have been displaced since hostilities broke out in December 2013," she said. "Humanly speaking, the situation looks dire – but we are "Easter people" who cling to hope in the midst of tragedy . Our Presbyterian partners have been a sure and steady voice for peace courageously standing up for the rights of all South Sudanese through protecting civilians of all ethnic groups and their involvement in the IGAD Peace talks and their leadership role in the South Sudan Council of Churches. It is our duty and honor to help to 'bear one another's burdens' as we stand by our sisters and brothers in prayer, and through the presence of our mission coworkers, as they continue to be a bold voice for reconciliation and peace. "

text: The Boys in the Band -- Theater Review 9:13 PM PDT 10/14/2010 by Jay Reiner , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty TWITTER Empty Mart Crowley's "The Boys in the Band" is one of the few plays that can honestly claim to have helped spark a social revolution. When the groundbreaking comedy appeared in 1968, gays were very much still in the closet and the door was tightly shut. A year later, the Stonewall riots in New York forever changed the way gays were perceived by society and, as importantly, how gays perceived themselves. The following year, William Friedkin successfully transferred the play to film. One can't help but feel that "Boys" played a part in the rapid change in consciousness that took place in those politically charged years. What set the play apart from previous works that touched on homosexual themes was the scathing humor and penetrating insights into the gay psyche, circa 1968. Although the characters often are grounded in passe gay stereotypes that capture a particular moment in time, they also resonate with larger truths that go beyond the precincts of gayness. The boys might be in the band, but the band plays for everyone. Michael (Matt McConkey) is throwing a birthday party in his Manhattan apartment for his friend Harold (Eric Roth), an older Jewish aesthete with an acid tongue dipped in equal measures of sarcasm and superciliousness. Before Harold's entrance, the other guests are busy trading insults, barbs and anxieties in witty bursts of repartee that Oscar Wilde might envy. We know trouble is brewing when Alan (David Stanbra), Michael's straight roommate from college, is about to show up, and Michael warns everyone not to give away their gayness. An impossible task, to be sure, especially for Emory (Chris Sams), the party queen dressed in short seersucker pants, a bow tie and high-top work shoes. Sure enough, the clueless Alan finally catches on and ends up slugging Emory for being a "pansy." In Act 2, the action turns even bitchier and more confessional when Michael maneuvers the guests into a truth-telling game on the telephone (a device that hasn't aged all that well). Meanwhile, Alan's sexual orientation is called into question and several secrets are aired, giving the play a slightly soapy feel. Most of director Jason Crain's cast is solid, moreso in the three roles that matter most. McConkey's self-hating Michael, whose wicked tongue never sleeps, walks a fine line between anger, ambivalence and despair. Roth captures Harold's distinctive brand of archness and insinuation in scintillating style. Sams' Emory is less swishy than some who have attempted the entertaining role, but he finds the underlying sweetness in the character. Others who contribute are Sean Galuszka and Greg Siff as Hank and Larry, respectively, who have the same problems as any card-carrying hetero couple. Kerby Joe Grubb is convincing as Michael's depressed lover, and Stanbra wrestles the awkwardly written Alan to a draw. Darryl Stephens' Bernard and Dustin Varpness, as Harold's birthday-gift cowboy, need to tune up their instruments if they want to play in this classy band. By the way, it would be nice to find the playwright's bio in the program along with the other lavishly laid out ones. After all, he did write the play you claim to be celebrating. Venue: The Coast Playhouse, West Hollywood (Through May 16).Cast: Matt McConkey, Eric Roth, Chris Sams, Kerby Joe Grubb, David Stanbra, Greg Siff, Sean Galuszka, Darryl Stephens, Dustin Varpness.Playwright: Mart Crowley.Director: Jason Crain.Set designer: Michael Fitzgerald.Lighting designer: Ellen Monocroussos.

As an employer of selection, the College of Iowa supplies comprehensive well being insurance policy for employees and students. Lastly, to counter the rise in well being care costs, the government has put in two plans, (in 2004 and 2006), which require insured people to declare a referring physician with a view to be absolutely reimbursed for specialist visits, and which put in a compulsory co-pay of 1 € (about $1.45) for a doctor visit, zero,50 € (about 80¢) for each box of medication prescribed, and a charge of 16-18 € ($20-25) per day for hospital stays and for expensive procedures.
Long-term care (Pflegeversicherung 37 ) is roofed half and half by employer and worker and covers cases wherein an individual is not capable of handle his or her every day routine (provision of meals, cleaning of residence, private hygiene, and many others.). It is about 2{ba601f4eef6dcf29d4bac3f598dd469f673e7fd3da074874c4f69300aea6539e} of a yearly salaried earnings or pension, with employers matching the contribution of the employee.
Pre-paid health plans typically pay for a set variety of companies (as an example, $300 in preventive care, a sure number of days of hospice care or care in a talented nursing facility, a hard and fast variety of house well being visits, a set number of spinal manipulation expenses, and so on.). The providers supplied are normally at the discretion of a utilization assessment nurse who is commonly contracted through the managed care entity providing the subscription health plan.
In 2011 many premium payers, insurance specialists, economists and well being care professionals questioned why the insurance coverage business was demanding higher premiums if their profits had been taking pictures up The insurance trade said it was so that they could put together for a sudden rush in demand, which they claim can be considerable when the recession was over.
The remaining 45{ba601f4eef6dcf29d4bac3f598dd469f673e7fd3da074874c4f69300aea6539e} of health care funding comes from insurance coverage premiums paid by the public, for which firms compete on price, although the variation between the varied competing insurers is barely about 5{ba601f4eef6dcf29d4bac3f598dd469f673e7fd3da074874c4f69300aea6539e}. citation needed However, insurance coverage companies are free to promote extra insurance policies to supply protection beyond the national minimal.
