Just days after Hurricane Sandy pummelled the east coast of the United States, and made her historic turn inward towards the New Jersey coast, insurance estimates began rolling in, and the news wasn't good. The storm, which affected a broad area, particularly devastated the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. Many in the tri-state area and beyond suffered severe or moderate property damage, flooding, power outages and more. Now that the clean-up for Hurricane Sandy has begun, insurance companies are attempting to gauge just how expensive this catastrophic storm really was and what the real cost of this natural disaster looks like. Here is a look at preliminary figures from the damage Hurricane Sandy caused and an in-depth look at just how much money the superstorm is costing insurance companies as a result.Total Estimated Cost of Damage is Staggering
The total estimated cost of damage wreaked by Hurricane Sandy is nothing short of staggering. An article released by the Associated Press on Nov. 2, 2012, estimates the total damage caused by Hurricane Sandy to be up to $50 billion. (The total was projected by Eqecat, a catastrophic risk management consulting firm, which indicated that the damage caused by the storm was between $30-$50 billion.) The damage is comprised of property damage, loss of business, an increase in living expenses and more.
Cost to Insurance Companies Projected to Be Much Less
Another finding in Eqecat's report is that although the total amount of damage is estimated at $50 billion, the costs that insurance companies will incur from Hurricane Sandy are considerably less. The report indicated that insurance companies can expect to pay between $10-$20 billion. The low end of this figure, while significantly reduced from that of the total damage incurred, is still a hefty price tag to pay. Hurricane Sandy is already more expensive than many severe hurricanes from the past, including 2008's Hurricane Ike, 2004's Hurricane Ivan and even the much overhyped Hurricane Irene from 2011.
Why the Lower Price Tag for Insurance Companies?
There are plenty of reasons why the insurance companies got a lower price tag. For one, many homeowners' insurance policies have tricks and do not cover the cost incurred from flooding. In order for flood claims to be paid, a consumer must have already purchased a flood policy prior to the arrival of Hurricane Sandy. In addition, the damage estimates include costs that are not covered by insurance policies such as loss of wages, power outages and increased costs of living expenses.
High Short-Term Costs, Low Long-Term Effect
While the staggering cost of Hurricane Sandy is still being calculated, insurance companies and risk management firms are trying to pinpoint whether the damage done is short-term or if it has the potential to cripple the economy and insurance industry on a long term or permanent level. According to an article released by the Huffington Post on Oct. 31, 2012, the rebuilding will start and continue at a feverish pace, and the economy will not be impacted over a long period of time. Meanwhile, an article released by SeekingAlpha.com projects that the insurance industry will take a hit, but quickly recover once the cleanup has been completed.
The Bottom Line
Hurricane Sandy ravaged the east coast and left New Jersey coastal towns, New York City and plenty of other locations with billions of dollars worth of damages. With cases of flooding, structural damage, power outages and more, the clean-up process for Sandy is certain to be long and expensive. Only time will tell if the numbers projected by Eqecat are correct, and as more reports of damage come through, it certainly seems as though the catastrophic risk management firm has done its homework. Let Sandy serve as a great reminder of how families should take appropriate measures for protecting their assets and finances from natural disasters.

Bitter rivals Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates meet again on Saturday, and there is more at stake this time around, as they battle it out for a place in the Telkom Knockout final.
This is the second Soweto Derby this season, as the two sides have squared off in the league, with the Buccaneers emerging victorious and stretching their unbeaten run over their foes to ten matches.
A win for either club will put them a step closer to ending what has been a barren spell in Soweto in terms of silverware, with both teams in the middle of lengthy trophyless runs.
Amakhosi the better off between the two, having last hoisted silverware in 2015 when they triumphed in the league under Bafana coach Stuart Baxter.
Telkom Knockout semi-finals: Team news
They will be sweating over the fitness of right back, Ramahlwe Mphahlele, who picked up a knock while on national duty earlier in the week, but will welcome the possibility that two players who have been on the mend will be fit for the encounter.
Lebogang Manyama – who was involved in a car accident in October – has returned to full training, alongside Bernard Parker, who has also been sidelined by injury.
Coach Giovanni Solinas in confident that the pair will be on the reckoning come Saturday.
"I hope we can recover these players," he said.
"It is very important, because that will give us more options in the starting line-up and more options also on the bench."
For Pirates, the wait to add to their trophy cabinet has stretched past four years now, with their last cup triumph coming via the 2014 Nedbank Cup, where a Kermit Erasmus brace saw them overcome Bidvest Wits.
In the Telkom Knockout, the Buccaneers last emerged victorious in 2011, a year after Kaizer Chiefs' last triumph in the competition.
Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs: Head to head
Draws have been synonymous with the Soweto Derby in recent years, but a run of four consecutive stalemates was broken last season when Orlando Pirates beat Kaizer Chiefs 3-1 to extend their unbeaten run against their rivals to 10 competitive matches.
The Buccaneers made it 11 matches unbeaten last month. However, only four of these fixtures produced a result, as the rest ended tied.
Amakhosi's last win in this fixture came in December 2014 when a Stuart Baxter-led side clinched a 1-0 win en route to the league title.
Last five encounters
Orlando Pirates 2-1 Kaizer Chiefs
Orlando Pirates 3-1 Kaizer Chiefs
Kaizer Chiefs 0-0 Orlando Pirates
Kaizer Chiefs 1-1 Orlando Pirates

歯科用インプラント埋入後の上顎洞関連合併症の検討 [in Japanese] A Clinical Study on Patients with Complications of the Maxillary Sinus after Dental Implant Placement [in Japanese]
Access this Article
Search this Article
A protocol for the treatment of complications involving the maxillary sinus after dental implant placement has not yet been established. Six patients (2 males, 4 females ; mean age 60.8 years) treated for maxillary sinus complications after dental implant placement in our department over the past 10 years were analyzed statistically, and methods of preventing and treating maxillary sinus complications were considered.
Two of the six patients experienced displacement of the dental implant body into the maxillary sinus, and five patients developed maxillary sinusitis because of extrusion and displacement of the dental implant and leakage of bone substitute into the maxillary sinus noted upon initial examination. Four patients complained of swelling and pain at the buccal region. The two patients with dental implant displacement had few subjective symptoms. Retrieval of dental implants displaced into the maxillary sinus was planned for two patients, but the dental implant of one patient was accidentally swallowed before the operation.
Treatment of the maxillary sinusitis with irrigation of the maxillary sinus and administration of antibiotic medication were effective, and no signs of residual sinus infection were observed in any of the patients after treatment. Our treatment procedures may prevent the need for removal of dental implants and bone substitute.

**Throughout the entirety of our journey, our goal is to recapture debt. To accomplish this task we must begin with a paradigm shift in our thinking. Instead of giving our hard-earned money to banks and financial institutions who use our money to gain wealth for themselves, we will bring our hard-earned into our own storehouse (becoming our own bankers) so that we can create our own wealth! This storehouse is a dividend-paying (participating) whole life (permanent) insurance policy set up properly (customized) by an Infinite Banking Concept-oriented broker through a reputable mutual life insurance company.
You and I hear words like derivatives, P/E ratios, alpha index, and we think we're hearing from "the smartest people in the room." Are we?
Paul Krugman, Nobel-prize winning economic and political columnist (aka "the smartest guy in the room") was apparently tired of Congress "threatening" to not raise the debt ceiling in an effort to get our unfathomable $18 trillion debt under control. Krugman suggested (out loud) that because a legal loophole allows the Treasury to mint platinum coins in any denomination, President Obama need only mint a trillion dollar platinum coin.
If you're tempted to think Krugman has a point, let me assure you, he doesn't. Value is determined by the buyer, not the seller. Anyone who has bought or sold a home (or has a modicum of intelligence) is well aware of this principle.
In an August 7, 2011 interview, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan (another "smartest guy in the room") was asked if U.S. Treasury Bonds were still safe. Quote: "Very much so. This is not an issue of credit rating. The United States can pay ANY debt it has because we can always PRINT MONEY to do that. So there is ZERO probability of default." Seriously?
We believe these are the smartest guys in the room because we're insecure. We haven't been taught to break down financial matters into their simplest form. Let's change that.
The Federal Reserve (central banking system) was founded in 1913 as the result of a financial panic in 1907. The Fed is made up of banking CEO's who aren't elected by the people but appointed by the President. Their job is to regulate currency and monitor banks. Since their inception, among the numerous boom-bust cycles we've endured, the U.S. dollar has lost 97% of its value. Great job!
As Greenspan boasted, central banks can create unlimited money out of thin air. They call this art form "QE" (Quantitative Easing) rather than its rightful name: PRINTING MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR WHICH HAS NOTHING OF REAL VALUE BACKING IT! But I digress.
The Fed lends its "Monopoly Money" to governments by buying government bonds. This artificial demand for government debt drives bond yields down to zero and even negative. (Photo by Pixabay.)
Remember those 10-year Treasury Bond auctions? Bond buyers will eventually figure out what you and I have known instinctively: printed money is worthless! When they finally realize that paying interest rather than earning interest to own government debt is not fiscally sound, one of two things (or both) will occur. Either the central banks will be the only ones left with their Monopoly money and the markets will collapse or the Federal Reserve will have to entice bond buyers by raising interest rates. Raising interest rates even as slight as 1% to 2% will ... only God really knows what will happen then.
Life is you becoming "the smartest people in the room" while avoiding those who claim to be "the smartest people in the room."

Since online studies really new to me, am now struggling to modify my lifestyle to be more IT literate.
I personally have issues., the real problem faced by working adult elearners are :-
1. It is understood the traditional way of studying is by being monitered or administrated by a teacher in classroom, online is something new for adults furthermore the need for speed, multitasking really changed scope of studying method.
2. The economy factor. Many of adults have family or big families to look and support. In meantime, they also have to strive and allocate some saving for studying whereby in this high cost of living where budgeting expenses really matters, that contributes to why many early attrition among first time elearners.
3. Working Environment. Is is what we studying will give us opportunity for job enhancement and upgrade career, and getting promoted? Whereby we have to compete with new graduates with highly motivated and good degree and masters.
4. Lack of confidence. Leaving college life for years and started to back to school with new environment really hit the lifestyle. We are so at ease and so called in the comfort zone in the office and have to struggle to achieve targets, then starts to think whether can we pursue or not.
The desire and willingness of adult learners to complete their education presents them with many common challenges, regardless of where they may be geographically. Adult learners abroad and in Palau echo each other on what they identify as barriers to their education goals. As much as they enjoy being back in school, many face the enormous task of balancing this with jobs, housework, and childcare. In addition to these responsibilities, many adult learners everywhere face the problem of supporting themselves and their families, as well as paying for school.

LONDON — Senior European Union officials expect talks surrounding the UK's €60 billion (€51.2 billion) divorce bill from the 28-nation bloc to take up more than a quarter of the entire negotiation period, despite British claims to the contrary.
The Financial Times reported over the weekend that the EU's top Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, is determined to carry out negotiations on an issue-by-issue basis, rather than the "in parallel" approach favoured by Brexit Secretary David Davis.
Barnier's first port of call is likely to be thrashing out how much the UK will need to pay back to the EU, and he is said to expect this process to take until at least December.
"He thinks we will be discussing money and acquired rights [of expatriate citizens] until December," a "senior eurozone official" who is in contact with Barnier told the FT.
"No trade, nothing about the future, just the past."
Given that the UK is expected to trigger Article 50 at some time in March, and that the official negotiation period for agreeing a Brexit deal is two years, that would represent substantially more than a quarter of the entire period.
The EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier will tell British government to hand over roughly €60 billion as part of its divorce from the 28-nation bloc.
The figure was agreed after a meeting between Barnier and representatives from other EU member states earlier in February, according to Sky.
Germany and France allegedly wanted the divorce bill to be over €69 billion (£59 billion) but agreed on a compromise.
Barnier is also set to tell Prime Minister Theresa May's government that it cannot expect to negotiate a new trade relationship with the EU until terms of the initial divorce, including the multi-billion pound bill, have been agreed by all parties.
This particular demand comes as no real surprise given that it has been the position of numerous senior EU figures since the June referendum. However, May and her team were still hopeful of holding divorce and trade talks in parallel.
The EU is believed to be trying to get the UK "down to earth" as soon as possible, and currently believes that expectations from the British government are unrealistic. "If we don't get them down to earth early in the game then we never will," one diplomat told the FT.
"You need some parallelism," another added. "But the leaders won't be fooled by vague promises [on the divorce]. In the end you need to tackle the bill."

Stesha Doku Maps Minority Health Care Gaps in Australia
By Juliana Tafur, 2003 Scholar | Envision a map that tells medical professionals not only where clinics and grocery stores are located, but also where different ethnic communities live. Imagine that this map also displays crucial informa- tion about people's health, such as infectious and chronic diseases, as well as paternal and infant death rates. Now picture 2004 Coca-Cola Scholar Stesha Doku at the helm, making it happen.
Stesha, a 22-year-old Duke University graduate and Stanford University medical student, is currently in Sydney, Australia, on a Fulbright fellowship. She is taking a year off from her medical studies to carry out research on Australia's public health policy, focusing on the native and immigrant communities in the state of New South Wales. By using Geographic Information Systems, or GIS, she hopes to create a map that displays the diseases and risk factors of these communities.
"Things like the place where you live and the resources available impact your health, but I don't know of anyone who has done a geographic analysis of the aboriginal and immigrant communities," Stesha says. "Some statistics have been compiled, but layering this information in a map is very different because it will visualize how this data affects them."
Australia's natives are twice as likely to have a health condition or be disabled as other residents and have particularly high mortality rates. The country is also home to pockets of immigrants from all over the world, who comprise approximately 23 percent of the population. Despite these diverse demographics, Stesha says answers are still lacking regarding their health.
"My goal is to use this map as a tool to discover health care gaps and determine where medical atten- tion is needed most," she says. She hopes her digital map serves as a platform for public health advocates interested in comparing data, finding correlations, and asking questions.
"If my research shows that there are recurrent cardiovascular problems in an area with a high immigrant or aboriginal population, maybe this can lead to the opening of a cardiovascular clinic to target their needs," she explains.
Researching ethnic minorities also carries deep personal meaning. Both of Stesha's parents emigrated from Ghana to the United States, and much of her family still lives in Ghana. As a result, she has been exposed to two cultures since she was young, which puts her in a position to understand and empathize with the needs of the aboriginal and immigrant communities in Australia.
"People from different cultures approach health care differently," she says. "In my research I'm taking into consideration that some communities have specific health care beliefs and practices."

Today's Verse for 04/28/2018
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. — Philippians 2:5-8 (KJV)
"Lord, humble us gently." That is one of my friend/s favorite prayers. I like it, too. But thank God Jesus was not gently humbled. While I hate he had to go through agony, his self-emptying humility was stark, bold, drastic, and outrageous. But I am to have this same attitude when it comes to reaching God's lost children.
God, you are all powerful and yet you emptied yourself to redeem me. May I be more selfless in my attitude and treatment of others, more like Jesus is with me. In Christ' name, I pray. Amen.
The Thoughts and Prayers for Today's Verse are written by Phil Ware. You can email questions or comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Treatment Examples
please note this is not a comprehensive list of services or conditions treated. This is just a bit of education about what these services might entail.
Conditions that may benefit from the below:
PTSD, Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Life challenges, Medical issues, Infectious diseases such as TBD or Lyme disease, traumatic events that lead to acute stress or adjustment issues as well as chemical dependency or substance abuse.
While this is far from a complete explanation as it is a very diverse process, therapy involves psychological or other problems being treated through communication and relationship factors between an individual and a therapist. This relationship is of course, strictly professional and exists for the purpose of helping one to make deep psychic changes that can happen within a safe and secure space. The therapeutic relationship differs from all other relationships because it allows you to share without worrry about your information being told to others or in anyway effecting your job, family or relationships. Therapists come in many varieties from Psychologists and Psychiatrists, to social workers and mental health counselors. Each of these modalities is trained according to their philosophies. Therapists are trained to understand what you say - your words, how you say them and which ones you do not use. Therapy also pays attention to body language and voice tone to fully understand your speech. Therapists are familiar with the symptoms of psychiatric illness and the difficulties of life. Therapists know the right questions to ask and might challenge you to consider questions and aspects of yourself and your life that you never pondered before.
Spiritual practice is a great emotional adventure open to anyone who wishes to transcend their normal, ordinary definition of reality. The shaman or spirit healer is able to make contact with and utilize an ordinarily hidden reality in order o acquire knowledge and power to help others. The journeying will vary by person and typically involves a spirit journey whereby your inner self is consulted in order to gain information and help you gain insight. According to indigenous cosmology, there are 3 planes of consciousness: the Upper, Middle, and Lower worlds. Humans did not invent them, they discovered them. These archetypal worlds are a part of our collective human unconscious and humanity.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or (EMDR) is a powerful psychotherapy that was designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. During the session, the client attends to emotionally disturbing material in brief sequential patterns while focusing on an external stimulus such as a light, tone, or tactile stimulation. EMDR facilitates the accessing of the traumatic memory network so that information processing is enhanced and becomes more adaptive. These new associations forge an elimination of emotional distress within the person.
Mindfulness Based Therapy (MBCT)
Therapy that incorporates mindfulness practices such as meditation and specific breathing exercises.
Dream Work
Utilizing my ancient lineage with Kabbalah to improve and understand your dreams and how they can be used to heal.
Psychospiritual therapy
Utilizing spiritual growth of ascension and descension periods for ultimate improvement in overall health. Making meaning of what health and wellness is for you, rather than proscribed by others.
Mental Imagery
Using your Mind and Images to improve your life on all levels from the physical to the financial

Editor's Picks(1-4 of 8)
Three religion concept of Haji Rahemtullah Khan
As I grow old often go in reminiscence of old events and try to know what right and what wrong happened. In a way it was like reviewing my life. In one of such memories, forty years ago, I learned about three religion concept that was put to me by one business man from Afghanistan who was friends with me.
Haji Rahemtullah was his name, an elderly gentleman from Afghanistan about 72 then. He was importing dry fruits from Afghanistan and exporting textile to Afghanistan. One day I happened to visit his office as I always used to do. Hajisab was sitting in his chair and he welcomed me as usual. There was nothing special to talk on and so we were siting without any conversation. After some time as time for Asr prayer began Haji sab stood for the prayer and I was watching him perform his prayer. That was usual scene. However, on that day something else happened. Haji sab had just completed one rakat, began his next rakat and phone began to ring. Those were days when mobiles were not available. Haji sab stopped his prayer and went to his sit and took that phone call. He continued his conversation on the phone for a long time and after that call was over he began to make calls to other contacts and that conversation continued for some time after about twenty minutes of talking business was over. He relaxed in his chair contemplating on his business discussion. I realized that he has forgotten prayer, Asr prayer time was not over until then.
I became curious about his this behavior. I wanted to know why he did not continue his prayer? I was so much curious about that so I could not control and asked him to remind him of his prayer. On that he gave a big grin.
He took a time and began to answer my query; "Look Ashok bhai, I am not very particular about all these things but I have to continue to practice these things because I have to stay honorably in my society". Then he told me about his theory of three religions.
He told me that he believes in three religion theory for a person to make his living honorably in whatever society he lives. Haji sab told me his first religion is for his soul or Atman, that is religion of goodness. To be good and encourage goodness around, to discourage badness anywhere. This is religion for his soul. He said since, it is for his soul it is most important religion.
Second religion is for his body. That is business or service whatever is required to make living possible. Without this religion he told me nothing is possible. In importance it is next to goodness. So this is a very important religion and everybody must abide by it. Of course, this religion one must practice in accordance with first religion of goodness. That means he cannot indulge in any such avocation that breaks rules of goodness. Here he made to me clear about preferences in these three religions. Religion for Atman is first priority and religion for body has second preference.
Last comes religion for society. He told me with a smile on his face that Islam is for society. That has least priority in the three religion arrangement.
Then he told me why he did not bother to continue prayer. He told me if in place of me a Muslim person were to sit he would have continued the prayer but since I was not a Muslim he told me laughingly, he did not need follow third religion meticulously at that moment of time.
That explanation satisfied me and then we together chatted on many relevant topics. I wonder if all sensible people accept Haji sab's three religion theory there will be less tension in this world. In a secular society like ours third option becomes irrelevant and so not necessary! However, first and second religions are essential and cannot be neglected.
Note for those who do not know about basics of Islam. Islam is a religion based on five pillars. They are, (1) the shahadah (creed, to accept that Allah is the god and no other god and Mohammad is his apostle and no body else is apostle), (2) daily prayers (salat, five times), (3) alms giving (zakah, charity), (4) fasting during Ramadan month and (5) the pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj) at least once in a lifetime. The one who accepts these five is belonging to Islam and nobody can claim otherwise.
There is no mention of goodness or earning for living in these five and so Haji Rahemtullah Khan's concept is different. I was so much impressed by his teachings that ever since then I follow this three religion theory in my life. If you follow it you also will be comfortable in life, just thing on it! Before I end this episode let me tell my readers that his family is the richest family of Afghanistan though they no more stay in Afghanistan for security reasons.

Apple's New iPads!
It's been a while guys. During that while, a lot of tech news has happened. Heck, the future happened during that time period. So what's new in Tech?
iPad Air
The first thing we should talk about is Apple's iPad Air. It's the same screen as the bigger iPads but with less bezel and it weighs a pound. Seriously a full 10 inch (9.7 inches to be exact) that only weighs a pound? That's amazing. I'm a vocal anti-Apple, but I still respect their quality of products. Where else can one get a serious tablet with serious polish and build quality and it still weighs a pound? Not many companies can boast that. Apple's new tablet includes their new A7 processor which is a 64-bit processor that will give this puppy a nice bite with it's bark. If Apple products are your thing, this isn't a bad choice.
iPad Mini with Retina Display
Like I said before, I'm not a big fan of Apple. I respect their build quality, but when I saw the original iPad mini, I knew Apple had finally made an Apple product that catered to me. It called my name. It wasn't bulky like the iPads before it. It was slim, sexy, and dangerous. At the time there weren't that many tablets that could compete with it without compromising important specs. The only close competitor I saw was the Nexus 7 (original), but still didn't look as sexy. I decided not to buy the original iPad mini because it needed that Apple seal of approval that is the retina display. I wanted an amazing display that isn't out of the question when it comes to Apple products. Finally, they released the new iPad mini with the retina display. 326ppi of pure awesomeness. That's beauty being shot into your eyes. Beautiful HD from a high quality build product.
Apple's doing a good job with their new iPads and iOS7. It's going to be a tough choice between the iPad Mini 2 and the Nexus 7 this holiday season. Which reminds me, there's going to be holiday wishlist article highlighting the best stuff you can get in tech over the holidays. If you're planning on getting the iPad mini 2, you should get it ASAP as it will sell out like hotcakes and I've been hearing that the supply for the displays are low so there will be a shortage.

Negril, Jamaica, W.I. January 18, 2016. Over thirteen years ago, Garry Sowerby, a four-time world record holder, long-distance driving, columnist and global adventurer, set out on an odyssey. On Friday 13th of November, 2002 hedrove from Whitehorse, in Canada's Yukon Territory, in pursuit of Dawson City's 'sourtoe cocktail'. "The 'sourtoe cocktail' is an obscure rite of passage in the Yukon and I wanted to do it," Garry said. But bad luck prevailed that Friday the 13th in 2002, so we tried it again looking for good luck," Garry said.
Thirteen years later, Friday, November the 13th, he set out to do the drive again with his wife and editor, Lisa Calvi, to launch his book "Driven Mind". It was the first of seven pop-up global launches planned for the next eleven months in places of significance chronicled in the book. This ambitious goal was well-within reach of a man known in his industry as an adventurous trailblazer and holder of four world records for long distance driving, while circumnavigating the world, crossing 75 countries.
During an interview with the epic world traveler, Sowerby revealed that in 2015 he decided on an unconventional approach to launching Driven Mind by using the next six (6) locations to stage events that are inspired by stories in the book.
One such story involved Sowerby "smuggling" 5,000 children's books from the U.K. to schools and libraries in Moscow, Russia in 1991. This past Christmas, Sowerby, Calvi and their family decided to give up the annual gift exchange and donate gifts to Children in Negril, Jamaica as the second launch platform. On the Internet, he found Negril Education Environment Trust (http://www.neetja.com). He then contacted the non-profit organization and eventually was introduced to Mr Winston Wellington, Chairman, by Lataya Gray, his competent Assistant. It was decided to grant NEET a donation of $1,500.
Sowerby and Calvi made their way to Negril, Jamaica for four adventure-filled days to participate in awarding the donation and what a rewarding experience it was! The excited children received books, erasers, small digital tablets that could be loaded with educational materials & NEET values-based programmes, such as The National Anthem, The Bible, Living Values Education Values Posters, etc.
The writer asked Garry "What stood out most on this journey?" He said: "The reactions of the children and teachers". When he was flying home, he looked at the people around him on the plane and thought "I probably had 10 times more meaningful experiences than they. Through all my travels, the people stood out more than anything through the cities, towns, villages and mountains; they were most memorable."
What is most poignant about Garry, Lisaand their three daughters is that their desire to make a difference in the lives of the needy is so strong, they gave up exchanging gifts and invested in the youth of Jamaica. Sowerby ends the interview with the thought "Imagine if every tourist who comes to Jamaica spends $50 on the youth, what that could do?"
For more information on the book, Driven Mind, a high quality 242-page paperback with over 400 colour images, go to: www.adventuredrive.ca/drivenmind or facebook.com/DrivenMindBook

As you probably know, Photoshop brushes don't work in Painter, and vice versa. But it's quite possible to "convert" your favorite Photoshop brushes and bring them into Corel Painter. Painter's Captured dab uses a greyscale bitmap image, just like the brushes in Photoshop. To convert them, just create an image of the brush tip in Photoshop, save the file, open it in Painter, and "capture the dab." It's really pretty easy, so let's get to it.
A quick painting with a custom-made Captured Grass variant, based on a brush from Photoshop. You can vary the color, size, and opacity, just as with any brush in Painter. Image brushes like this can save you lots of time.
First, create a new file in Photoshop, about 6 inches square at 300dpi, with a white background. Choose the Brush tool (select the brush icon, or press B). Open the brush selection list and find a brush you'd like to bring into Painter. I've got a brush shaped like blades of grass, so I'll pick that one.
With opacity and flow both set to 100, click the mouse once in the middle of the image. This gives you one copy of the brush "tip". Now save this file (either JPG or PSD will work fine), and close it. Open this same file now in Painter.
(The following steps come from Mr. John Derry, one of the original creators of Painter. You can read his detailed instructions here if you need more information. Thanks, John!)
Step One: Copy a variant
Before you make changes to a variant, copy it and make your changes to that copy. This way you won't overwrite the default brushes (or one of your own, for that matter). To do this, click on the little triangle next to the brush selector (as shown below), and you'll get a flyout menu. Choose "Save variant…" For our example, I'll be copying the Captured Bristle variant of the Acrylics. When I click on "Save variant…", a save dialogue appears, with the name filled in for me as "Captured Bristle." If you're updating an existing brush, you'd accept the name, but in our case we're creating a new version. So I'll type in "Captured Grass". When I click "OK", a new variation named "Captured Grass" is added to the Acrylics category. To see it, click on the brush selector drop-down, and there it is. Select it.
Step Two: Capture the dab
At this point, you have your Photoshop brush image open in Painter, and your brand-new Captured Grass variant is selected. Time to capture the dab! This can be a little tricky, so follow along carefully. Type R (or choose the rectangular selection icon). Click on your mouse and begin to draw the selection outwards from the upper left corner. While drawing the selection, depress the Shift key. This constrains the selection to a perfect square. (Warning: do not press the Shift key first, or Capture Dab will be grayed out in the next step.)
With this square selection active, click the brush selector triangle again. This time, choose "Capture Dab" from the flyout menu. (If it is grayed out, try your selection again, making sure not to press Shift until you are making the selection.) Nothing seems to happen, but it did capture the dab. Now let's adjust our new variant.
Step Three: Adjust
Open the Brush Creator (go Window > Show Brush Creator, or type CMD/CTL+B). Click on the Size tab, and you'll see your brush shape in the preview window. If you see a black circle, instead, click on the preview window. This will toggle the brush preview. Here's what you should see:
Click in the practice area to see how your new variant works. We'll make some adjustments so that each image is separate, like in Photoshop. In this case, we don't want the images to repeat one on top of another, like a normal Painter brush. We want it to act more like the Image Hose. So click on the Spacing tab. Move the sliders for "Spacing" and "Minimum Spacing" all the way to the right, so there's no overlapping. There are other adjustments you can make, as laid out in John's article, above. But for now, we're all set. Go ahead and exit the Brush Creator. Notice that there is no save button on the Brush Creator. Whatever changes you make are automatically saved upon exit. This is why I had you work on a copy right from the start.

Samuel Christiansen     ASKO   |   Business     🕐 27. Jan. 2020
There is no one-size-fits-all, universal solution within the electrification of heavy commercial vehicles. One of the technology tracks that Scania has explored, together with its client ASKO, is fuel cell electric trucks powered by hydrogen gas.
ASKO's and Scania's New Fossil Free Venture
ASKO's and Scania's new venture now enters into its next phase, with four trucks being put into real operation in a pilot that is one of the first of its kind.
The pilot will be the basis for further learning and development for both companies.
"Scania continues to work with cutting-edge technology that supports the shift to fossil-free transport. An important part of this is done together with some of our most progressive partners, such as ASKO, in customer-near development", said Karin Rådström, Head of Sales and Marketing at Scania.
A Multi-faceted Approach
Scania is working with its electrification roadmap in the same way as with the combustion engine-technology; a multi-faceted approach with a broad range of solutions.
The company has researched and developed different kinds of bio-fuelled hybrid-electric technologies, as well as fully-electric vehicles.
Scania's battery-electric bus was launched in 2019 and the company also works with electric vehicles that can be charged via electrified roads or through hydrogen-powered fuel cells as is the case with ASKO.
"Hydrogen gas is an interesting option for long haulage electrified transport and early tests show that the technology also works well in colder climate. We will continue to monitor the performance of these trucks closely," said Rådström in a press release.
She continued: "I also want to commend ASKO for taking early and bold steps to ensure a supply of hydrogen sourced from renewable sources and infrastructure for fuelling. The company is a player who really takes action to catalyse a shift toward sustainable transport."
A Modular Approach
Scania's work is based on a modular approach. In the four trucks deployed in ASKO's operations, the internal combustion engine in the powertrain is replaced by an electric machine, powered by electricity from fuel cells fed with hydrogen and from rechargeable batteries.
The rest of the powertrain is composed of the same standard components used in the hybrid trucks and buses that Scania already delivers.
We believe that information should be free and will therefore never put up a paywall.

Iran FM has 'no authority' to talk to Kerry about Syria
WASHINGTON - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has revealed he has "no authority" to discuss the war in Syria with US Secretary of State John Kerry, tacitly acknowledging the regime's tight grip despite overtures to the West.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Tuesday the admission had come during weekend talks in Munich on Iran's nuclear program.
After three decades of shunning most high-level contacts, Washington and Tehran have broken the ice in recent months as new Iranian leaders have sought to ease crippling economic sanctions imposed amid suspicions they are planning to acquire a nuclear bomb.
Kerry and Zarif met Sunday on the sidelines of a Munich security conference to discuss the next talks between Iran and global powers, which open on February 18 aimed at reaching a final deal to rein in Tehran's nuclear program.
Tehran has also long been accused of backing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad by providing arms, cash and manpower to the regime as it battles a three-year uprising which has now left over 136,000 dead.
Kerry had voiced "his concerns and the concerns of the United States about the pace of moving chemical weapons in Syria, about the humanitarian situation on the ground, and about the need to move towards a transitional governing body," Psaki said.
But "Foreign Minister Zarif made clear that he did not have the authority to discuss or negotiate on Syria, so... the focus of the meeting was on the nuclear talks."
Many US allies, including Israel, have reacted angrily to America's growing rapprochement with Iran, warning Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds the reins of power, is only interested in winning relief for the hard-hit economy.
Analysts say that it is Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard, which reports directly to Khamenei, which is in charge of the country's Syria policy.
Psaki refused to be drawn on what Zarif's comment meant or who would be authorized to speak to Kerry, only adding: "I would point you to the Iranians for how they structure their portfolio."

Bubbles are a magical delight for kids of all ages, until the solution spills everywhere and grownups have a mess to clean up!
But Little Kids solves bubbles' biggest blunder with the No-Spill Big Bubble Bucket.
Designed for kids ages 18 months and up, the Bubble Bucket provides a less-mess way for kids to enjoy bubbles. The bucket can hold between 4 and 20 ounces of bubble solution, and keeps all of the solution contained, so kids don't need to worry about dropping bottles of bubbles and solution spills.
The Bucket comes complete with three bubble wands that stick out of the top of the bucket, meaning no sticking your fingers inside the bubble bottle and getting soaked in solution. Each wand is a different color, so kids can keep track of which one is theirs. The wands are also oversized and chunky, perfect for little hands to grasp onto with ease.
The only thing missing from the No-Spill Big Bubble Bucket is bubble solution. Be sure to also pick up your favorite bubble solution when you purchase the Bucket, so kids will be ready to play right away.
Adults should also make sure the top of the bucket is securely tightened, that way kids can drop, kick, and knock the bucket over, and the solution will stay inside with no spills.
The No-Spill bucket has been wowing families for more than 27 years, and is a must-have for any young ones looking for some bubble magic this summer.

Less Pain. More Comfort.
i-Port Advance is a new option for those taking daily injection shots. It is a small injection port that lets you take your injectable medications without having to puncture your skin for each injection.
It's easy to wear and easy to use. The port can be worn for up to three days during all normal activities, including sleeping, bathing and exercise.
If you take an average of five shots a day, you can reduce the number of times you poke yourself from 150 to 10 in just 1 month! That's 93% less pokes.
Who should consider this option?
Those newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and not ready for a pump.
Those with type 2 diabetes and new to taking insulin – improve the transition to taking shots.
Anyone who experiences the emotional challenges of shots – ie. fear, anxiety, & stress
Anyone experiencing physical impacts from shots – ie. bruising, scaring, or pain.
It's especially beneficial to children and their loved ones, who can struggle with regular shots.
Simple & Easy to Use
i-Port Advance injection port is easy to apply. It includes a built-in inserter, which gives you a quick, virtually painless application. Only a soft flexible tube, called a cannula stays under the skin. Once applied, inject your medication through the port instead of your skin (no medication is stored inside the device). It is suitable for both adults and children.
Does it matter if I use a pen or a syringe?
You can use the port with pens or syringes. Needles need to be 5-8mm (3/16-5/16") in length and 32-28 gauge.
How does it work with long acting & rapid acting insulin?
You can use both, but there is a rule: Always inject rapid acting insulin first, wait one hour, then inject your long acting insulin.
Available Now
The i-Port Advance is available right now. HCE-UK have exclusive distribution rights within the UK. If you are interested in this product then visit the HCE-UK website for more information on how to purchase.

Education Associate's Degree Programs
Do you love to help others learn about the world around them? You may have what it takes to be an educator. Earning an associate's degree in education provides a general introduction to the principles behind teaching. It is a great way to learn about the core concepts, and test out whether you have the desire and the skills to be a teacher yourself.
You can design your associate's degree in education to reflect your personal goals. Some concepts will be a constant no matter who, what, or where you hope to teach, but others will be tailored to a specific student population. Teachers who want to work with younger students can focus on early childhood education. Other education associate's degree courses will focus on middle and high school aged students.
The most common career path for graduates with an associate's degree in education is to eventually earn their teacher's certification and start working in a school. But this is not the only opportunity. Some people begin teaching in day cares, or become healthcare administrators, or work in a support capacity. There are many choices, and education is a noble and satisfying line of work that makes a real difference in the world. If you want to contribute, consider getting an associate's degree in education.

text: Islamic Political Identity in Turkey By M. Hakan Yavuz No cover image Islamic Political Identity in Turkey By M. Hakan Yavuz Read preview Synopsis In November of 2002, the Justice and Development Party swept to victory in the Turkish parliamentary elections. Because of the party's Islamic roots, its electoral triumph has sparked a host of questions both in Turkey and in the West: Does the party harbor a secret Islamist agenda? Will the new government seek to overturn nearly a century of secularization stemming from Kemal Atatürk's early-twentieth-century reforms? Most fundamentally, is Islam compatible with democracy? In this penetrating work, M. Hakan Yavuz seeks to answer these questions, and to provide a comprehensive analysis of Islamic political identity in Turkey. He begins in the early twentieth century, when Kemal Atatürk led Turkey through a process of rapid secularization and crushed Islamic opposition to his authoritarian rule. Yavuz argues that, since Atatürk's death in 1938, however, Turkey has been gradually moving away from his militant secularism and experiencing "a quiet Muslim reformation." Islamic political identity is not homogeneous, says Yavuz, but can be modern and progressive as well as conservative and potentially authoritarian. While the West has traditionally seen Kemalism as an engine for reform against "reactionary" political Islam, in fact the Kemalist establishment has traditionally used the "Islamic threat" as an excuse to avoid democratization and thus hold on to power. Yavuz offers an account of the "soft coup" of 1997, in which the Kemalist military-bureaucratic establishment overthrew the democratically elected coalition government, which was led by the pro-Islamic Refah party. He argues that the soft coup plunged Turkey into a renewed legitimacy crisis which can only be resolved by the liberalization of the political system. The book ends with a discussion of the most recent election and its implications for Turkey and the Muslim world. Yavuz argues that Islamic social movements can be important agents for promoting a democratic and pluralistic society, and that the Turkish example holds long term promise for the rest of the Muslim world. Based on extensive fieldwork and interviews, this work offers a sophisticated new understanding of the role of political Islam in one of the world's most strategically important countries. Excerpt Having grown up in a small town in Turkey's Black Sea region, I have been disturbed by the negative accounts of Islam and Islamic movements frequently encountered among the Turkish Republican elite and also in some Western intellectual forums because my understanding of Islam and its role in Turkish society has been very different. In rural and provincial Turkey, dominant religious organizations and ritual activity were shaped by the Nakşibendi Sufi order, although in my hometown of Bayburt they were shaped by the Nur movement. In Bayburt, the small shops around the main public square, known as Saat Kulesi Meydan1, hosted the reading circles of the devotees of the founder of the Nur movement, Said Nursi. One often would see the "red books" (k1rm1z1 kitaplar) of Nursi in the hands of shop owners or state employees who came to chat in these shops. They were not only centers of trade but also places of ideas and discussion. People would open the books of Nursi and start to read, interpret, and debate. The debate eventually would move to totally different topics of discussion, but the idioms tended to be similar. I realized that this version of Islam and the eclectic teaching of Nursi often served for the townsmen as a philosophy of everyday life. My curiosity never died down, and I always wondered: Why Islam and this particular tradition? Could the Muslims of Turkey meaningfully discuss and engage in social, ethical, and political issues if they did not seem to share this common religious and cultural idiom? Could there be a social consensus outside Islam in modern Turkey? How did these fairly typical lower-middle-class provincial citizens reconcile their attachment to their religious traditions with their loyalty and devotion to the modern Turkish Republic and its political and military leaders, who often represented an ideological antithesis?

Monetary analysts work in banks, pension funds, insurance coverage companies, and different businesses. This sort of analysis can embody IPOs or mergers and acquisitions Analysts assess current financial situations as well as rely heavily on modeling and forecasting to make recommendations to senior partners as as to if or not a sure merger is appropriate for that investment financial institution's consumer or whether or not one other client of the investment bank ought to invest venture capital in a particular company.
In case you look at a pattern CFA examination and it appears overwhelming, start with practising for the Series 7 and sixty three exams after which work your means as much as the CFA exam or begin to interview for junior analyst positions after passing those Collection exams or one of many other exams which might be extremely regarded by the financial providers business.
Nonetheless, there are numerous several types of Monetary Analysts, comparable to Securities Analysts, Investment Analysts or Scores Analysts, and they can work for plenty of different types of organizations, including insurance coverage firms, funding banks, mutual funds, pension funds, hedge funds and securities companies, as well as firms that operate in any trade in Canada!
The financial rewards of being a financial analyst are certainly interesting, however it shouldn't be the primary motivation for coming into this career. Quite a lot of undergraduate topics are usually accepted by employers, together with business fields equivalent to finance, accounting and economics. Some financial analysts (similar to those that work as fund managers) work largely by fee.
The financial analyst may present recommendation to firms on issuing their own bonds, splitting inventory and other areas of concern. By analyzing financial documents and the present market, the analyst may also help the business make vital choices by way of merchandising, budgeting, and forecasting. A chartered financial analyst, or CFA, is somebody who has handed a sequence of intense exams and has obtained the relevant credential from the CFA Institute, which relies in the US. If one possesses the title of being a chartered monetary analyst, their prospect of achieving employment with a top investment agency will improve dramatically.

Further reports of dead turtles
RECENT reports that 13 turtles were found dead on Curtis Island remain unconfirmed.
A resident on Curtis Island called The Observer last week, indicating the turtles had washed up on the beach there.
Suggestions have since been made to The Observer that the turtles may not have been dead, and were merely resting.
Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) said no sign of the turtles had been found.
QPWS Acting General Manager Marine Parks Grahame Byron said QPWS received an unconfirmed report of 10 dead turtles and four sick turtles.
"QPWS investigated the report yesterday (Monday) and again today (Tuesday) on the low tide and have found no evidence of any deceased animals," he said.
"As Curtis Island and nearby Facing Island are natural collection points for deceased marine animals, it is unlikely any dead turtles would have washed away.
"Often turtles will congregate on mudflats to feed, stay on the mudflats as the tide recedes, and swim away when high tide returns.
"During this time they can be relatively motionless, often with their limbs extended and head resting on the mud.
"This can give the appearance that they are deceased. They do this year-round.
"Without directly observing the animals in question, however, it is difficult to say conclusively this was the case in these circumstances."
