The U.S. Olympic Committee doesn't care how other advertisers sell their goods, as long as its trademark and name aren't attached to them.
The interlocking rings and the designation "Olympic" are the USOC's property, the sole source of revenue that supports the U.S. Olympic team and its training centers.
And now the city of Atlanta, which will play host to the 1996 Games, knows the committee means business.
City officials had planned to plant tens of thousands of trees in Atlanta before the 1996 Games, calling it the effort "Trees for Olympic Atlanta."
But the USOC's attorney wrote a letter to Mayor Maynard H. Jackson and now The Metro Atlanta Tree Planting Committee is looking for another campaign slogan.
Our suggestion: "Going for the Marigold."

What is it that makes Rosemary Beach so unforgettable? It is a combination of many things…the sound of flip flops on the wooded boardwalks that lead to pathways connecting to pools, playgrounds, greens, tennis courts and fitness activites, the feel of the salty breeze when your toes touch the turquoise water, a bicycle ride to the Sugar Shak at any time of day, glow in the dark bocce ball on the Western Green…it's truly endless!
Rosemary Beach looks like a quaint European village with its Dutch influence and West Indies flair. It's as if Vail meets the summer beach in Florida.
Every year, we stay someplace different. This year was spent in a cottage over looking the Western Green and the glimmering emerald coast. Any view at Rosemary is stunning, but this year was hard to beat.
The Pearl is a charming new hotel in Rosemary Beach and is now open. The Havana Bar (inside the Pearl) is a happening place to be. The vibe is relaxed with a spicy Cuban feel…perfect for Rosemary.
Every year I find more things to write about Rosemary Beach. It just keeps getting better. My definite "must do again" at Rosemary would be La Crema for tapas, Patchoulis for soaps, Havana for cocktails, George's (which is actually next door at Alys Beach) for the best summer dinner, Thursday Farmer's Market for making dinner at home then walking to the Western Green for watching a "beach-in-movie"…this year's "beach-in-movie" was The Wizard of Oz.
It was a first for our family to spend The Fourth of July at Rosemary. You can see from my Steller that the family field day, concert on the green and fireworks on the beach were the kind of memories you know that children will cherish forever.
Love grows where my Rosemary grows and nobody knows like me!

No business will ever reach the goal of "business and IT alignment". Should this discourage you from pursuing business and IT alignment? NO! It is a worthy goal to pursue. Indeed, it is a critical one to pursue. You might never reach alignment but you can take steps to get ever closer. This requires a process. Often, we ignore the fact that business and IT alignment is a process. This process does not have a starting point nor does it have an end. It is a series of "learn and do" cycles that incrementally get towards alignment. Let me explain.
There are many definitions of IT Strategy. Which one is true?

Why You Need Sales Referrals to Hit Your Next Sales GoalAssociation of Strategic Marketing
February 17, 2014 — 1,710 views
Finding leads through cold-calling can often seem relentless, and at times, pointless. A sales referral can come to your aid during such times. A sales referral is one of the best lead generation techniques, as many selling tips have been claiming for ages. Trust is something that doesn't come that easy to most people when they're dealing with a sales professional. It's like they're perched to flee at any moment as they doubt everything that's said by the sales professional, as if it were a carefully planned conspiracy. Sound familiar? Well, you need to unleash the power of sales referrals then. These referrals can do wonders to your leads, as most people tend to trust a source that's already been approved of or used by someone they know. Sometimes, it brings about a kind of social pressure, where the referred individuals want to buy it because the referrer did.
Benefits of a Sales Referral
- You can reduce your sales expenditure and save time by focusing on sales referrals, rather than cold-calling prospective clients, who may or may not respond positively.
- One satisfied customer can refer you to another, and the cycle keeps continuing, and before you know it, you have your own legion of satisfied customers.
- Your sales revenue can go up if you use referrals. It is said that there's a 60 percent chance of closing a sale with a referred lead, while one without a referral has a 10 percent chance.
When to ask for a Referral
Try asking for referrals while you're having a face-to-face conversation with your client/ customer, rather than asking for one over phone or email. The likeliness of them giving you one is far more if you ask for it face-to-face. Although, you can ask for it over phone or email if you're operating across different continents or countries. Asking your client for a referral right after closing a deal, is popular among selling tips, although it is certainly not the best. Resort to this only if your client already seems impressed by your product/ service, otherwise it can come across as an aggressive move. Instead, wait around for a while until they try out your service/ product, and then ask for a referral.
How to get More Referrals
Start by setting a goal, as to how many referrals you need to get within a set time frame. Don't go around bombarding everyone for referrals; just ask the ones that are devoted followers of your brand, probably the top 10 or 20 percent. While targeting these clients/ customers for referrals, give them a fair idea on your customer demographics, so it's effective. Do something extra special for your clients once in a while, they'll appreciate your efforts and probably give you a nice referral. Offer rewards to customers who refer you, probably a discount or goodies so more people join in. Refer your clients to a potential lead and they'll probably do the same to you. Although this might sound a little bizarre at first, it's a basic principle of helping each other out.

This hazy and sometimes hypnotic album is the project of Dayve Hawk out of New Jersey who also works under a number of other names. Memory Tapes is his sweeping, electronica-pop personae and this MT debut hits an unusual ground between the less outre Mika, MGMT and Empire of the Sun at the poppy end, and the more interesting experimental types like Atlas Sound (Branford Cox of Deerhunter) at the other.
He alludes to old school classical minimalists (Steve Reich, Philip Glass) as much as Jean Michel Jarre and a cottonwool-wrapped Vangelis also -- but mostly keeps ambient electronic pop close to his heart and at times to the dance floor.
By being neither one thing nor the other, Seek Magic ultimately fails to grip in the manner of those referenced above -- but among the bonus tracks are a slow boil remix of his Orchestral Manoeuvres/New Order-lite Bicycles by recent Big Day Out band the Horrors, and a 17 minute musical jigsaw puzzle piece "inspired by the work of screen composer John Carpenter" (who directed Halloween) which sounds like Hawk's calling card for soundtrack work.
Seek Magic was released in the States a year ago and it doesn't belatedly arrive with an advance guard of great reviews. But there is certainly something going on here and once the focus becomes clearer we should hear more and better from Memory Tapes/Dayve Hawk.

Friday Favorite: Southwest Airlines
I've spent my life flying here there and yonder, when you live in a different country from you family this is the way life is. Throughout the years we've had good and bad experiences with airlines. Five or so years ago I discovered Southwest and will pretty fly with them if I have the option. With this big winter storm they were fantastic. We had flights purchased to head back to Ohio, it so happened both legs of our journey were on days with big winter storms. They alerted us the night before encouraging us to change our tickets (for free). Which we did. Then another storm threatened our next trip, they told us to wait and we could cancel up till 10 minutes before our flight and keep the ticket amount for a future trip or reschedule again if needed.
I've had lots of bad experiences on flights, amazingly, none of them have been with Southwest. I'm sure they have problems and eventually I'll have a delayed or cancelled flight with them. I'll still keep using them because their customer service is top notch!
Do you have any favorite companies to recommend?Filed under Uncategorized | Comment (1)
One Comment to "Friday Favorite: Southwest Airlines"
Southwest is "my" family airline. My dad was a Southwest pilot for many years; my brother is currently a Southwest pilot; and I have an aunt and an uncle who are Southwest flight attendants. Sadly, I don't live anywhere near a Southwest city anymore, so I can't fly on them easily myself.
L.L. Bean customer service is the best. Also, USAA (a bank for military personnel and their families). It shouldn't be so unusual to call a customer service number and immediately speak to an actual helpful person, but it is nowadays. Both those companies offer that.

In the Autumn Statement last month the Chancellor announced a change to the Flat Rate Scheme that will have a big effect on contractors in yet another measure to reduce the earning power of those venturing out on their own. There's a perceived abuse of the scheme and this measure seeks to reduce the benefit of using the scheme for certain types of business, particularly those that don't have huge costs.
The FRS is a scheme for VAT registered businesses with annual income of less than £150,000, introduced to reduce the burden on small businesses. It simplifies the calculation of each VAT return and can give a bit of a benefit back to the company if they don't have a huge amount of expenses that include VAT.
If you're VAT registered, the traditional way to calculate the VAT payable each quarter is to take the VAT you've paid on your expenses from the VAT you've charged on your sales in that period. There are various costs that don't include VAT and others that do but aren't allowable. You need to keep VAT receipts to support the claim and all in all it can be quite complex and time consuming.
On the Flat Rate Scheme the VAT payable is calculated based on your sales in the quarter and a percentage defined by your trade sector. Whilst you still need receipts to support your expenses they don't need to be VAT receipts.
A new percentage is being introduced from 01/04/2017 for 'limited cost traders' which significantly reduces the financial benefit of the scheme.
A 'limited cost trader' is a business that spends less than 2% of their gross turnover (including VAT) on goods OR spends more than 2% but the total is less than £1,000/year.
For this test, 'goods' exclude capital purchases, food, drink and vehicles and associated costs (allowed if you carry out transport services). Any items allowable must be used exclusively for the purpose of the business.
If you have an annual turnover of £100,000 including VAT you'll need to spend more than £2,000 on applicable goods each year, to use your original trade sector percentage.
If your turnover is £40,000 inc VAT/year the 2% of turnover is £800, but unless you spend over £1,000 you'll still be classed as a 'limited cost trader'.
The technical note suggests this check should be done every quarter, so cash flow could be difficult to estimate. There may be some quarters that are more cost heavy, meaning you might flit between percentages throughout the year.
Currently your FRS percentage is defined by your trade sector, so an IT consultant would usually use 'Computer and IT consultancy or data processing' sector at 14.5%.
The new FRS percentage is 16.5% and overrides the trade sector - you'll have to work out if you fall into the new 'limited cost trader' category first and then apply the correct percentage.
On an invoice of £1,000 net the VAT payable calculations would be:
FRS trade sector percentage
Invoice Net
Invoice VAT
Invoice Gross
VAT payable (gross x %)
FRS 'bonus' the company keeps
(VAT charged - VAT payable)
A significant difference.
All businesses on the Flat Rate Scheme will need to check to see if they're covered by this new definition.
HMRC will be releasing an online test to help you decide in due course, hopefully well in advance of the change coming in. In the meantime if you're worried you can give us a call but we'll be reaching out to those of our clients we think are affected in the New Year.
The change only takes effect from 1st April 2017, but you must continue to invoice as normal and not 'bulk invoice' around that date to avoid the higher tax on some invoices.
If you're classed as a 'limited cost' trader there are a few options for you.
You may find that the other benefits of being on the Flat Rate Scheme (the simplified returns and not needing to obtain VAT receipts) are enough to stay on with the 16.5%, especially if you have very few expenses or they're all travel expenses (which don't contain VAT).
You could go back to standard VAT, deducting the VAT you incur from the VAT you've charged. You will need to ask for VAT receipts when purchasing anything and it may add some time to your bookkeeping.
Alternatively, if your sales each year are less than £83,000 you don't need to be VAT registered, so it's worth looking at deregistering. This won't be right for everyone, so you need to talk to your accountant before deciding.
There is an eight week consultation period so there could yet be changes to come. Further clarity on how often the test is run would be welcome along with a little more guidance over how the FRS registration process will change.
Go Back
Don't forget we're here to help you, from working out if you're affected to deciding the best way forward for your company. We'll be contacting you in the New Year to start this process and prepare for 1st April 2017.

They call me a communications strategist
For years now I've made a living off professional writing—marketing, blogging, tourism, journalism, and now helping others share their story.
How did I do this?
By becoming an expert at taking a pile of unorganized ideas and shifting and shaping them into powerful communication tools.
I love writing for a living and if you have the same dream I want to help you reach it. As I meet more and more aspiring writers I'm noticing a lot of people seem to be stalled out or stuck at the starting gate. My heart goes out to you. But there is hope!

This article is from the archive of our partner .
Just days ahead of a peace conference that is supposed to guide how the West will proceed with a plan for peace in Syria, a new report alleges that President Bashar al-Assad tortured and killed thousands of detainees over two years
The Guardian and CNN shared the exclusive on the 31-page report written by celebrated international lawyers that allegedly shows the "systematic killing" and torturing of about 11,000 detainees carried out by the Assad regime in Syria between March 2011 and August 2013. The report can be read here, and drew its conclusions from interviews with defectors and evidence provided by a former military police photographer.
"Caesar," allegedly a former photographer for Syria's military police, leaked over 25,000 photos showing numerous detainees allegedly killed by the Syrian regime and answered questions about his work for the team of experienced war crimes lawyers who compiled the report. He said his job was "taking pictures of killed detainees." He smuggled the photos out of Syria with help from his brother, who had contact in the Syrian National Movement. Caesar and his family eventually fled the country for his own protection with help from the team behind the report.
The lawyers who authored the report have a long history prosecuting war criminals: Professor Sir Geoffrey Nice, the former lead prosecutor against former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic; Sir Desmond de Silva, a former chief prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone; David Crane, the first chief prosecutor of the Special Court for Sierra Leone who indicted former Liberian President Charles Taylor. The three men were hired by British law firm Carter-Ruck to author the report. Carter-Ruck was financed by the government of Qatar. They subjected the evidence to rigorous scrutiny by showing everything to "a forensic pathologist, an anthropologist and an expert in digital imaging," to verify the images as best as they possibly could.
Some of the bodies show signs they were strangled, electrocuted or brutally beaten. Many of the bodies were frail and thin in a way that can only be brought on by prolonged starvation. Evidence and testimony provided by Caesar also describes a ruthless bureaucratic system used by Assad to document and cover-up every killed detainee. Per the Guardian:
The reason for photographing executed persons was twofold. First to permit a death certificate to be produced without families requiring to see the body, thereby avoiding the authorities having to give a truthful account of their deaths; second to confirm that orders to execute individuals had been carried out."
Families were told that the cause of death was either a "heart attack" or "breathing problems", it added.
"This is a smoking gun," Crane told CNN. "Any prosecutor would like this kind of evidence — the photos and the process. This is direct evidence of the regime's killing machine." Another author compared the pictures included in the report to images of Nazi death camps from World War II.

Six Years Later…An Update
It's hard to believe it's been six years (this month!) since we called it quits here at Pearls and Diamonds.
No, I'm not posting here because we're reviving this site–it will remain a static resource. But I did want you to know that Abigail is a pretty awesome labor and delivery nurse these days, celebrating new life on a regular basis. And I'm active in the blogging world once again at http://www.LifeMeetsJesus.com, where you can follow my meditations on life as a woman, wife, homemaker, and homeschooling mama of two energetic little boys and what it looks like for us to follow Jesus each step of the way.
And maybe I'll twist Abigail's arm and have her write a guest post for me someday. 😉
Anyway, if we never meet again in cyberspace, I hope we will meet one day in the coming Kingdom.
Grace and Peace,
Lauren Scott

This story first appeared in the Feb. 6 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. When word broke Jan. 21 that Fortitude International and Untitled Entertainment were making Dive — the next film from in-demand director Ariel Vromen, whose upcoming Criminal (Aug. 21) stars Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Costner — Fortitude sales chief Nadine de Barros was deluged with calls from foreign buyers: Would Dive be for sale at Berlin's European Film Market? The answer was no because the cast has yet to be locked in. For more than a year, sales agents increasingly have had a hard time closing deals in time for the major markets. "We are all starting to sound like broken records," says de Barros. But not all is lost. She is bringing an Emily Blunt film to be directed by Rupert Friend, while FilmNation will be selling a Larry Charles-Nicolas Cage comedy and Anton Corbijn's Life. Sierra/Affinity is in good shape with The Bends, starring Rosamund Pike, and there's sure to be more projects announced at the eleventh hour. These are some of the buzzier titles in the offing at EFM. Andron — The Black Labyrinth Director: Francesco Cinquemani Sales Agent: AMBI The Buzz: Alec Baldwin and Danny Glover play the masterminds behind a game in which a group of young people is trapped in a dark maze as the world watches. (Hunger Games, anyone?) Andron premieres in Berlin. Army of One Director: Larry Charles Sales Agent: FilmNation The Buzz: The latest project from the director of Borat is loosely based on the real-life story of a Colorado construction worker who tried to hunt down Osama bin Laden. In a coup for producers Endgame and Conde Nast Entertainment, Nicolas Cage has agreed to star, with TWC-Dimension already prebuying North American rights. Charles shoots in the spring. Barton & Charlie Director: Rupert Friend Sales Agent: Fortitude The Buzz: The popular Homeland actor makes his feature directorial debut with the adventure-thriller. Friend also stars opposite Emily Blunt as a grifter who teaches a canny young woman the tricks of the trade. Soon, they are on the run from a newspaper mogul they've conned. Fortitude also will be showing the first footage of Daughter of God (pictured below), starring Keanu Reeves. The Bends Director: Jean Luc Herbulot Sales Agent: Sierra/Affinity The Buzz: This diving thriller should do sizable presale business thanks to the pairing of Rosamund Pike and Joel Kinnaman. Pike is up for both an Oscar and a BAFTA for her turn in the box-office hit Gone Girl. Brooklyn Director: John Crowley Sales Agent: HanWay The Buzz: The period romantic drama, starring Saoirse Ronan and Emory Cohen, should enjoy a boost if its Sundance premiere goes well. Ronan stars as a young Irish woman who immigrates to Brooklyn during the 1950s in this film adaptation of Colm Toibin's novel. Nick Hornby, fresh off of Wild, wrote the adapted script. Colonia Director: Florian Gallenberger Sales Agent: Beta The Buzz: Popular actress Emma Watson stars opposite Daniel Bruhl in this thriller about a couple caught up in a cult in 1970s Chile. The film is in postproduction. Untitled Blumhouse Thriller Director:Joel Edgerton Sales Agent: Sierra/Affinity The Buzz: Edgerton makes his directorial debut with this adult thriller, as well as starring opposite Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall. Bob Simonds' new studio, STX Entertainment, will distribute domestically. Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief Director: Alex Gibney Sales Agent: Content The Buzz: Gibney's Scientology documentary, premiering Jan. 25 at Sundance, is sure to be a curiosity factor for foreign buyers. Operation Avalanche Director: Matt Johnson Sales Agent: XYZ The Buzz: Lionsgate has secured U.S. and Canadian rights to Johnson's film, a thriller detailing the CIA's involvement in the space race. Johnson reteams with his The Dirties actor Owen Williams. Seacole Director: Charlie Stratton Sales Agent: Exchange The Buzz: The biopic stars Octavia Spencer as Mary Seacole, a revered nurse of mixed-race descent who braved racial prejudice to take care of British soldiers during the Crimean War (she was a rival of Florence Nightingale's). Brunson Green, who teamed with Spencer on The Help, is producing the film, now in preproduction. Wake Director: John Pogue Sales Agent: IFT The Buzz: Bruce Willis has signed on to star in the action film as a sociopath who fights to save the very family that banished him years ago.

USA | Sunday, 16 July 2017 | Views [838]
After a 9 hour and 45-minute flight we made it to Cape Town, South Africa. It is nice to know we do not have another flight for about 3 weeks! When we arrived both girls claimed it was a quick flight and they barely slept on the ride. In reality, they both slept 5+ hours. The flight was a lot rougher on Elizabeth and I. The South Africa portion of our adventure is one we had a travel company arrange. When we priced purchasing everything individual versus purchasing a package, the tour company actually won. Thus far, the tour has been going great and we are excited about everything that is come next, Anya at Pembury Tours done a great job.
On our arrival, we were transferred to luxury apartments on the waterfront to stay 6-days in Cape Town. The first day we rested and worked on adjusting to the time change, it took the girls like 5 minutes! Elizabeth and I took the rest of the day and we are still trying to fully adjust. The next day we awoke to a rainy overcast day, so we changed our day from going to Table Mountain to a museum tour. Our guide, Lele, was great. Not only did we cover the history of South Africa we also covered a good share of modern politics in both South Africa and America.
We first went to the Castle of Good Hope, which is the oldest building in South Africa. It is opened in 1679 by the Dutch, but later taken over by the British. The Castle was original built as a stop on the trade route between the East and West. Neat fact, the Castle was originally built on the coastline, but the Dutch over time reclaimed nearly a mile more of land, so now it sits about a mile from the coast. I could be wrong, but wasn't the Dutch who reclaimed land in New York to create large parts of Manhattan?
After visiting the Castle we jumped several time periods. As we understood it in our quick talks, the 1700s, was the period of rule by the French and Dutch, who after fighting for dominance in the area started working together protect themselves from the indigenous people. Then in the 1800s the British showed up in force and took over the area, through war, driving the Dutch more inland. Additionally, during the British rule the indigenous and slaves from the East were freed. Leading into the 1900's the system of Apartheid, separation of the races, was put in place. This is where we picked up our next museum, District Six Museum.
District Six was an inner-city area of Cape Town, where in the 1970's 60,000 residents were forcibly removed when the government declared the areas "White". The museum had a lot of emotion reading both the stories of residents homes being destroyed by machinery when they would leave for work and stories of individuals remember District Six. Since Brooklyn has a small background on the US Civil Rights we used it to explain and reference! We can store that as education hours we need to report to the girls' home schooling report!
Oh, quick stop by Parliment:
After District Six we moved on to Iziko South African Museum. The museum is small natural science museum, we say small comparing it to the American Museum of Natural History in New York we visited not too long ago. This was the girls' favorite museum.
After the South African Museum we headed to the Cape Town Aquarium on the Waterfront. However, on the way we made several stops. We drove up to the back end of the Lion's Head. It is an awesome view over Cape Town, but it was very windy with a slight rain. We stopped at the brightly colored houses, which we learned were painted in celebration of freedom from slavery. To celebrate the freedom of slavery the Bo-Kaap painted their homes a vibrant color, each neighbor selecting a different color. We had a couple additional stops, see images, before making it to aquarium.
The aquarium was nice, even comparable to Ripley's in Gatlinburg, which we love. We all agree the best thing at the aquarium is the African penguins.
It is another early day tomorrow. We are going to do a community tour where our guide grew up in the Cape Town shanty towns. He moved from the shanty town to middle class, by receiving a scholarship to college. The scholarship allowed him to go to college for tourism and hospitality, which he works in now. He knows six of the eleven languages official recognized in South Africa. He gave us a small lesson of his tribe's language, which uses a clicking sound for after some characters. We are not going to be fluent anytime soon, it was fun to listen too! We had some interesting conversations of his story and about the scholarships ability to improve recipient's life including reasons why it may not be working. If you are interested let me know and I will write some of conversations. Anyways, tomorrow should be an interesting day.
Each day Brooklyn and Kaleigh have a countdown to shark diving, they both scared and excited….3 more days by the way.

The Quantification of Systemic Risk and Stability: New Methods and Measures
Chapter in NBER book Quantifying Systemic Risk (2013), Joseph G. Haubrich and Andrew W. Lo, editors (p. 223 - 262)
This chapter analyzes world economic data in order to predict the next crisis probability based on the presence and influence of human risk taking and decision making in financial markets. It summarizes recent ideas on risk prediction for multiple technological systems using existing data, and explicitly includes the key impact of human involvement using the learning hypothesis. It is argued that risk is caused by uncertainty, and the measure of uncertainty is probability. The risk of an outcome (accident, event, error, or failure) is never zero, and the possibility of an outcome always exists, with a chance given by the future (posterior) probability. The key is to include the human involvement, and to create and use the correct and relevant measures for experience, learning, complexity, and risk exposure.

Afghan police and U.S. troops in the eastern city of Jalalabad have opened fire to break up rioting by students angry at alleged desecration of the Koran at the U.S. jail in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Local health officials say at least three people were killed and some 60 others wounded -- some seriously.
Demonstrators chanting "Death to America" marched through streets Wednesday, smashing cars, damaging shops and throwing stones at U.S. troops.
Protests erupted after Newsweek magazine reported that interrogators at Guantanamo placed copies of the Muslim holy book on toilets to rattle terrorist suspects.
The United States has condemned the alleged desecration of the Koran, saying such activity would be reprehensible and contrary to U.S. policy.
The U.S. military says any kind of violation of the religious rights of detainees will be treated very seriously.
Some information for this report provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.

Where has Charlie Sheen been lately? The former Two and a Half Men star, whose drug-fueled escapades relegated him to Hollywood exile, is back — and he's chosen a cheeky comeback vehicle, starring opposite Miami rapper Lil Pump in the music video for his song "Drug Addicts," which dropped late Thursday night.
The video, set in the sketchiest of hospitals, amply lives up to its name — presenting enough substance-related references to make viewers dizzy. If the obvious (Sheen himself, who plays a poker-faced physician) wasn't sufficiently blatant, "Dr. Pump" smokes, drinks, and pops just about everything in sight, all the while cheerfully delivering lines such as "I've been smoking since I was 11/ I've been popping pills since I was 7" and alluding to having a bowl of "Molly" for breakfast.
Despite the fact that Pump is a mere 17 years old, "Dr. Sheen" nods in approval, while nurses in sexy scrubs and a troupe of lively senior citizens party right along on the ward. The celebration ends up with a breakout from the hospital — old folks and all — and an epic dance-off in an empty pool.
All good things must come to an end, however, and the two "doctors" are eventually dragged off by men in white coats.
Sheen, correctly forecasting that the video would make waves, alluded to "breaking the internet" in a tweet teasing the video Tuesday.
Hey @lilpump,
what day
did you
want to
the internet?
— Charlie Sheen (@charliesheen) July 3, 2018
The rapper broke out in 2017 with the smash hit "Gucci Gang," which has logged more than 2 billion audio and video streams to date.

Hubby & I are often amazed at how much planning can go into a trip. We each remember how things were growing up in our families where dad & mom just piled all the kids into the car and headed one direction (usually west) and whatever you found along the way was what you got; hotel rooms, restaurants or entertainment. Now, I'll spend weeks planning all the nitty gritty details of our family excursions …(but at least I find the beach when I go to Florida – ask hubby and his buddies about it sometime) …
When planning our Field Trips – I couldn't do without my Free travel guide and maps from Travel Iowa ~ grab one online or at any of the helpful Iowa Welcome Centers * Make the guide your own – mark it up, rip out pages, highlight – it's your inspiration!

King Starboard is a marine-grade polymer, which means it's a high-tech plastic that will stand up to salt water and sun a lot better than most types of wood--without a lick of maintenance, and often at lower cost.
Fine for drawers and door panels (we use 1/2" panels in our for boat doors for example, set inside 3/4" frames). If you lay a piece of 1/2" Starboard over a solid substrate such as marine plywood, it'll also serve well as a rough-and-ready fish-cleaning station. And using Starboard AS (Anti-Skid), this is fine for fully supported step and stair pads.
What it can do. You can work King Starboard with standard woodworking tools and assemble components with standard screws and fasteners. I'm sold on this material as a faster, longer lasting, economical alternative to marine wood products in many situations.
"Thanks for getting the starboard to me so quick, as well as being so helpful over the phone. Your customer service is great. "
What it can't do. You won't be using King Starboard to build boat hulls, because it's not a structural material. That means it needs to be supported by a load-bearing frame or substrate. You also won't be using King Starboard where temperatures are likely to exceed--or even get close to--180 degrees Fahrenheit, because it'll start to melt and you'll have all sorts of problems. And King Starboard expands and contracts with normal temperature variations, so you'll need to allow for that when you assemble various components.

The Oreo BingSu ($9.50) is a Frankenstein Cookie Monster that comes in a water tub loaded with condensed milk shaved ice and god-knows-how-many trolleys of crushed oreo. For the first time, I could safely leave the condensed milk served alongside, totally untouched for everything was already sweet enough on its own.
Thankfully, it also serves side food such as French Toasts. There wasn't much cinnamon aroma to speak of in this Caramel and Cinnamon Toast $5.50, but the two-layered bread was sandwiched with thin blobs of Korean rice cake, differentiating it from the rest with an interesting elastic texture.

'Grotesque connotations': the '$4,000' critique of presidential hopeful Nixon
'Grotesque connotations': the '$4,000' critique of presidential hopeful Nixon
Even before the Watergate scandal, President Richard Nixon's image had much room for improvement
"Loose fingers, hanging downward from bent wrists moving toward the camera in a swimming motion are confusing, and have grotesque connotations."
A 1967 critique of future president Richard Nixon by media consultant Jack Bynam is coming to auction later this month, providing collectors with a wonderful insight into attempts to remould the Republican candidate's image.
The 10 page report is one of 81 Nixon-related documents beingoffered to biddersin a single lot at RR Auction's online sale.
The artefacts belong to Nixon's former joke writer, Paul Keyes.
Bynam's report, underlined in places by Nixon, was commissioned by the future president in an effort to improve his public image. A year later, he won the presidency of the United States.
Richard Nixon: long sleeves
"His frequently clenched fists indicate tension ... even belligerency," states Bynam, adding that the grease Nixon was using to keep his hair in place game him "a slick, foreign look ... unbecoming in his role".
While complimenting him on his oratory and knowledge, Nixon's smile also came in for criticism. "More like an effort than a pleasure," states Bynam.
His ties were too dark and his sleeves were too long, the report adds.
We believe the $4,000 estimate for the 81 items is on the low side, such is the likely interest in this insightful political document among the world's political memorabilia collectors, and the fact that severalmemos in the collection were handwritten by Nixon.

text: Pre-authorized debits (PADs) are a convenient, flexible and easy way to set up bill payments and automatic transactions, and hundreds of millions of PADs are processed each year in Canada. This article will answer some of the frequently asked questions (FAQs) about how to set up a PAD and the rights and responsibilities of consumers and billers, including the protections that consumers have when trying to cancel a PAD. What is a PAD? Pre-authorized debits (PADs) allow you to pay regular bills and make other payments automatically so you don't have to worry about not making payments on time. Many people use PADs on an ongoing basis to pay their mortgage, insurance premiums, utility bills and membership dues to clubs and organizations. A PAD is an agreement between a customer and a biller. When you enter into a PAD agreement with a biller, you give that organization permission to withdraw money from your bank account on a regular basis. How do I set up a PAD? You can ask the biller if they will accept PADs as a form of payment. If so, the biller is required to provide you with a pre-authorized debit agreement, outlining the account your money will be taken from and the amount and frequency of the withdrawals. It is important that you keep a copy of the agreement in case there are any disputes or if you wish to cancel the PAD. What information should be included in a pre-authorized debit agreement? A pre-authorized debit agreement should generally include the following information: Amount – PADs can be for a fixed amount or a variable amount. If the PAD is for a fixed amount, such as a monthly $50 donation to a charity, the PAD should specify the amount. If the amount is variable, for example a hydro bill where the amount varies, then the PAD must state that the amount is variable. The biller must give you at least 10 days notice of the amount that will be withdrawn from your account before doing so. Frequency – The PAD must specify how often the withdrawal will be made. This could be every 15 days or on the first day of each month, for example. If the withdrawal will not occur on a specific date, then there must be a trigger for the withdrawal, such as you contacting your investment adviser and requesting an investment be made. How to Cancel – For PADs written after February 28, 2010, the agreement must also specify how you can cancel the PAD and provide contact information for the biller. What else should I know before I sign a pre-authorized debit agreement? Here are a few other things to keep in mind: Don't be pressured into signing an agreement you're not comfortable with. You're not obliged to pay through pre-authorized debit and if you feel uncomfortable at all about the arrangement, don't sign the agreement and arrange for an alternate method of payment, if available, or take your business elsewhere. Make sure there are sufficient funds in your account when the pre-authorized debit is scheduled to be processed. If not, the biller may withdraw the funds at any point during the next 30 days. Check your account statements regularly to ensure that the PAD is working properly. Always ensure that you have a copy of the agreement. What do I do if I have a problem with a pre-authorized debit? Payments Canada operates and maintains the clearing and settlement system for payments in Canada, and they have rules in place to protect consumers. The Rule H1 from Payments Canada clearly sets out the rights and responsibilities of consumers and billers, including the protections that consumers have when they have a problem with a PAD. You can also read Payments Canada's consumer guide about PADs on their website. If you notice a withdrawal for an amount that you didn't authorize or an automatic payment that you have cancelled, you should first contact the biller to resolve the issue. It could just be an administrative error that can be easily corrected. Hundreds of millions of PADs are processed each year in Canada and the vast majority go through without any problems. Keep in mind that your bank or financial institution does not have the details of the agreement between you and the biller (unless the biller is also your bank). If you have tried to resolve the issue with your biller without success, you have 90 days from the time the transaction was posted to your account to ask your bank or financial institution to provide a reimbursement. You will then be asked to sign a declaration that you are disputing the transaction and you should be provided with a reimbursement. Your bank or financial institution will then seek reimbursement from the biller's financial institution. How do I cancel a PAD? The procedure to cancel a PAD should be outlined in your PAD agreement. If there are no specific instructions on how to cancel a PAD in the agreement, you should notify the biller in writing and keep a record of your letter. You may use the Sample Cancellation Form created by Payments Canada on page 32 of this document (Rule H1). It is important to remember that cancelling your PAD agreement does not cancel a contract for goods or services you may have with a biller. It also doesn't cancel the amount you owe them. By cancelling your PAD agreement you are simply indicating that you no longer wish to pay by pre-authorized debit. You will need to make alternate arrangements with the biller to pay any amounts owing or to terminate your contract. For example, if you have signed a contract for a two-year membership at a fitness club and arranged to pay by pre-authorized debit, if you cancel the PAD after one year, you will still be responsible for paying for your membership for one more year. What if the agreement was a pre-authorized charge on my credit card? Do the same rules and procedures apply? If you have automatic payments set up on your credit card and have problems or would like to cancel the payment, you should contact the biller. If you are still having a problem with the biller, then contact the financial institution that issued your credit card and they will provide you with information about disputing the charge. Keep in mind that some billers may require advanced notice to cancel an automatic credit card bill payment. The biller can give you more information about that.

Rocking the Classics: English Progressive Rock and the Counterculture
Oxford University Press, 1997 - Music - 290 pages
Few styles of popular music have generated as much controversy as progressive rock, a musical genre best remembered today for its gargantuan stage shows, its fascination with epic subject matter drawn from science fiction, mythology, and fantasy literature, and above all for its attempts to combine classical music's sense of space and monumental scope with rock's raw power and energy. Its dazzling virtuosity and spectacular live concerts made it hugely popular with fans during the 1970s, who saw bands such as King Crimson, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, and Jethro Tull bring a new level of depth and sophistication to rock. On the other hand, critics branded the elaborate concerts of these bands as self- indulgent and materialistic. They viewed progressive rock's classical/rock fusion attempts as elitist, a betrayal of rock's populist origins.
In Rocking the Classics, the first comprehensive study of progressive rock history, Edward Macan draws together cultural theory, musicology, and music criticism, illuminating how progressive rock served as a vital expression of the counterculture of the late 1960s and 1970s. Beginning with a description of the cultural conditions which gave birth to the progressive rock style, he examines how the hippies' fondness for hallucinogens, their contempt for Establishment-approved pop music, and their fascination with the music, art, and literature of high culture contributed to this exciting new genre. Covering a decade of music, Macan traces progressive rock's development from the mid- to late-sixties, when psychedelic bands such as the Moody Blues, Procol Harum, the Nice, and Pink Floyd laid the foundation of the progressive rock style, and proceeds to the emergence of the mature progressive rock style marked by the 1969 release of King Crimson's album In the Court of the Crimson King. This "golden age" reached its artistic and commercial zenith between 1970 and 1975 in the music of bands such as Jethro Tull, Yes, Genesis, ELP, Gentle Giant, Van der Graaf Generator, and Curved Air.
In turn, Macan explores the conventions that govern progressive rock, including the visual dimensions of album cover art and concerts, lyrics and conceptual themes, and the importance of combining music, visual motif, and verbal expression to convey a coherent artistic vision. He examines the cultural history of progressive rock, considering its roots in a bohemian English subculture and its meteoric rise in popularity among a legion of fans in North America and continental Europe. Finally, he addresses issues of critical reception, arguing that the critics' largely negative reaction to progressive rock says far more about their own ambivalence to the legacy of the counterculture than it does about the music itself.
An exciting tour through an era of extravagant, mind-bending, and culturally explosive music, Rocking the Classics sheds new light on the largely misunderstood genre of progressive rock.

After 30 years of experience handling failure to diagnose cancer cases, we understand that people, men and women, feel completely betrayed by their doctor. Imagine, you go to your doctor and complain about your condition, and the doctor even goes so far as to touch the area of complaint, and feels it him or herself. However, the doctor fails to follow up and fails to take the next step, whatever that step should have been, a mammogram, a sonogram, a biopsy, a blood test, whatever, to simply diagnose your complaints and your known physical condition. I mean, all you wanted to know is, "Was my physical condition cancer or not?"
We have heard plenty of the excuses from doctors over time, Oh it was only a fibroma, or it was just a benign cyst, it was a yeast infection, or it looked benign to me but come back in 6 months- every excuse in the book. What the doctor never told you is that your physical condition is cancer. More importantly, your doctor never did any testing on the physical condition to rule out cancer as a possible diagnosis. You feel not only totally betrayed by your doctor- the person you trusted with your life- but completed devastated by your diagnosis and the impact it now has on your life, and your ultimate survival. We have successfully represented many women and men who have gone through this horrible experience. Believe it or not, even in this day of "modern medicine" this situation happens all too often. We understand what you are going through, and we tell our clients that they should focus on their medical care. That you should get the surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatments needed to properly address your medical condition, and let us focus on prosecuting your legal case.
According to the American Cancer Society, one in three Americans will develop cancer over the course of their lifetime. There are more than 200 kinds of cancers that can occur in the body as a result of the interaction among genetic factors, personal and family history, age and environmental factors, including lifestyle and health habits. Of these, some of the most common forms of cancer include breast, lung, cervical, prostate, ovarian and colorectal.
If you have been misdiagnosed, or your doctor failed to properly and timely diagnose your cancer, then contact us, New York City Failure to Diagnose Cancer Lawyers? Contact Michael Gunzburg, P.C., today for a free consultation.
When you need a lawyer, get the BIG GUNZTM
We have handled all different sorts of failure to diagnose cancer cases including Breast Cancer, Vulva & Vaginal Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Lung Cancer, Prostate Cancer, and Colorectal Cancer. We understand that early diagnosis leads to faster treatments, better outcomes, and increased chances of survival. That is why they say that "Early Detection of Breast Cancer Saves Lives." The same concepts applies to most cancers.
An experienced Cancer Lawyer can help guide your case to a successful resolution.
Based on our experience, we also know that it is very important to hire us and get us involved as soon as possible in your case. We have seen medical professionals do all sorts of things when they suspect a lawsuit. We have seen doctors change their medical records and add language that was never recorded at the time of treatment, had doctors "lose" their sonogram films so no one could confirm their claimed diagnosis of no cancer, bury important correspondence, pull important records from the patient's chart, alter medical charts to reflect events that never took place, indicated that tests were taken but as it turned out the doctor never billed for those claimed tests. This is why it is important to hire us right away. This gives us the chance to secure the records and take a hard look at them while the ink is still fresh on the medical charts. It's only after 30 years of seeing so many different situations that we can quickly recognize a potential cover up situation. Unfortunately this situation happens more often that you can imagine. We stand ready to meet with you, evaluate your claim, and help guide you through the legal system. We strive to get you the best possible outcome in your case.
We represent Cancer clients in the following matters:
- Failure to diagnose breast cancer
- Misdiagnosis of breast cancer
- Colorectal cancer
- Lung cancer misdiagnosis
- Lung cancer delayed diagnosis
- Prostate cancer
- Vaginal cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Vulva cancer
At Michael Gunzburg, P.C., we understand that cancer patients are fighting two battles, one for their lives and the other for justice against the doctors, the diagnostic facilities, and the hospital that violated their trust. As experienced NYC Failure to Diagnose Cancer Lawyers, we stand ready to help guide you through the legal system and strive to get you the most compensation available on your case.

Unfortunately only the first part o this course is somewhat relevant to the topic. Then, while well presented, its all drifting away and is all about selecting components for a quadcopter drone, absolutely no relevance to manufacturing process but entirely a Google search exercise. You will not need Fusion 360 75% of the time of this course.

I´m not personally interested at all in building drones and I had to stand 3 courses of the drone design and component selection, it is supposed to be a CAD, CAM and CAE software learning program, not a drone design program.
The CAM module was ok, but there was no explanation of the entire selections made in the course in order to create the parts, which I think was the only value knowledge in this course.

Episode 026: Psychology of Success
This week's episode follows up on the reading of "Mindset. The New Psychology of Success" by Dr. Carol S. Dweck. Dweck's research at Stanford has led her to writing this approachable book on fixed vs. growth mindsets, what it means to be each, and how it can explain the successes people have in their life. Then we go on to talk about "hard work" and I think, for the first time in my life, I can say I have an understanding of it.
