I've just returned from grocery shopping. There were two little mishaps - I parked the car, got out, realized I'd left my cash at home. Then after I'd gone home and gotten the cash walked up to the supermarket I found there was not a single shopping trolley. Aside from these two little mishaps, the grocery shopping experience was uneventful. I found many items marked down on sale that I could freeze for another day. Stocked up on loads of goodies for the pantry. All in all, an uneventful, same old, everyday occurrence that millions of us take for granted.
I paid $150 for food that will be eaten in a week, perhaps scorned at, critiqued, not eaten, devoured hungrily, most importantly, taken for granted that all this will happen again next week. No wonder I see food shopping as pointless and boring. And if I find it boring and pointless, I'm sure there are other who do too.
We no longer have to fight or hunt for our food. All the tribal, primal, animalistic components have been cauterized, homogenized, and organized. No wonder dystopian novels are so popular. Characters have to fight for food, there's often the kill or be killed mentality, pushing others aside for the last scraps of food and water. Humanity is stripped away and we have to fight to keep it. In the modern world, there is no need to fight.
Just to treat you to the types of books I'm talking about there is a fantastic site called The Best Sci Fi Books. I recently found this post from September 2014 highlighting 96 Dystopian Science Fiction Books that are all on my must read list. I've read a few, and I must say I love dystopian worlds. And I think I know why. Our blessed lives lack the life or death challenges, they lack the hunt, the hunger, the fight for survival.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I want world war to break out and coupons to become a way of life. I don't want to fear for my life as I make a cup of tea. Nor do I want to eat stale crackers and spoiled food.
But our love of dystopian fiction makes me wonder that perhaps we humans like the idea of chaos in our lives, to remind us that while we have evolved, we are still of flesh and blood.

Many of these conditions can be seen in the fringe of the retina every bit good as in the cardinal pole which is why widefield imagination is so of import.
Optos operates within the wellness attention equipment & A ; services sector.
Structure and Size
As of October 2010 Optos employs about 270 people in 3 locations worldwide, UK ( Dunfermline ) , US ( Boston ) and Germany.
A high degree lineation of the company construction is detailed in Appendix C.
Cardinal Performance Indexs
Optos use a figure of KPIs to mensurate the success or failure of the administration 's schemes during an operating period, typically 6 months.
A 6 month period of one twelvemonth is compared against the same 6 month period from the old twelvemonth. These comparison indexs illustrate the success or otherwise for the period.
Table 1.0 KPIs Optos plc. October – March 2010/October – March 2009
Table 1.0 ( Source Optos 2010 ) shows a figure of KPIs used by Optos to mensurate success or failure, and shows the comparing between the first 6 months of 2010 compared against the first 6 months of 2009.

The writer is presently employed at Optos plc and therefore has ready entree to the relevant information and forces.
Optos required to supply a wealth of information, such as histories and interim studies that the writer can utilize as portion of the research.
The studies result may be of benefit to Optos as the writer 's employer and undertaking patron.
Environmental Scan
Fahey and Naravanan ( 1986 ) suggest that an effectual scanning plan should enable determination shapers to understand current and possible alterations taking topographic point in there establishments external environment.
Optos recognise that scanning is a utile research tool that helps the board make strategic determinations, which is why Optos put a batch of clip and energy into the scanning procedure.
Environmental scanning within Optos is non outsourced and is performed by the executive ( see Appendix C ) as portion of 6 monthly reappraisals.
" In the United States, about 3,000,000 people aged 40 old ages or older are visually impaired and 900,000 are lawfully blind. More than 40 % of sightlessness could be prevented or cured by proviso of appropriate intervention in a timely manner. Unfortunately, about half of potentially blinding oculus disease remains undetected. Even among people who have regular entree to the wellness attention system, the prevalence of undetected oculus disease is high. In the Baltimore Eye Survey, more than 85 % of antecedently undetected glaucoma instances had been examined by a doctor within the past 12 months " ( Wang, F. , Tielsch et al 1998 )
The above grounds indicates the possible untapped market for the optomapA® and with the alterations in the US wellness attention Torahs, ensuing in a wellness attention reform measure that aims to cover 31m uninsured Americans and could take to the biggest alteration in US health care in decennaries, BBC News ( 2009 ) , the possible becomes even greater.
The potency of the optomapA® can be summarised by these cardinal facts[ 1 ]:
70M+ people in US greater than 55 old ages old.
20M+ Americans have diabetes.
AMD is the taking cause of sightlessness in Americans over 55 old ages old.
75M+ people blind worldwide by 2020 without preventive stairss.
$ 268B+ productiveness lost yearly, associated with big vision jobs.
A survey carried out by the American Optometric Association ( AOA ) in 2008 showed per centums of respondents who did non cognize that a comprehensive oculus test can observe:
Diabetess ( 62 % )
Hypertension ( 71 % )
Brain Tumours ( 75 % )
Cancers ( 78 % )
Cardiovascular Diseases ( 80 % )
With the US authorities altering wellness attention jurisprudence to do health care more readily available to Americans and besides making wellness attention initiatives to promote a healthier lifestyle, of which oculus attention is portion, so the potency for the optomapA® becomes clear.
Appendix A inside informations the basic stairss Optos adopt to execute Environmental scanning.
Optos operations can consequence, and be effected by, the undertaking environment and internal environment that Optos operates in.
Appendix B inside informations the environments and how they can consequence the operations of Optos.
Thompson et Al ( 2005 ) province A PESTEL analysis can supply a straightforward and utile model for analyzing the external environment.
Environmental Scanning normally refers to the macro environment.These external macro environmental conditions or factors can be classified as Political, Economic, Socio-cultural, Technological, Environmental and Legal ( PESTEL ) .
A PESTEL analysis ( Appendix D ) carried out on Optos plc revealed the undermentioned factors were impacting Optos most ( or probably to hold a important affect in the hereafter ) .
The alteration in the UK Government and the proclaimed ?81 billion of cuts, will impact many UK concerns, every bit good every bit society as a whole. The consequence being that people will hold less disposable income for points such as oculus tests.
Conversely, the Spending Review did non impact wellness disbursement which is expected to increase until 2014/2015, hence eye doctor will still hold money available to potentially buy and utilize optopmap.
Impact of 'credit crunch ' starts to be felt with major concerns in front for all sectors, including wellness.
Recession has increased US health care measures.
US health care costs are eating up an ever-larger part of household budgets.
31m Americans, who did non hold health care insurance, now have wellness attention insurance as of March 2010.
An aging US population and more consciousness that regular oculus tests leads to early sensing of disease are the major societal factors impacting Optos.
Optos merchandises must maintain up with new ophthalmology techniques as they are discovered. Main rival Fundus cameras going more advanced.
Changes in US wellness attention Torahs have a positive impact on Optos. More Americans now have entree to wellness insurance with oculus scrutinies a portion of the wider wellness attention enterprises in US.
Addition on corporate societal duty and environmental docket.
Optos merchandises are expected to run into environmental ushers and have major parts reclaimable. Packaging besides must be kept to a lower limit.
Competitive Analysis Using Porters 5 Forces
Porter ( 1985 ) defined the forces, which drive competition, postulating that the competitory environment is created by the interaction of five different forces moving on a concern. The 5 forces allow administrations to mensurate the attraction of an industry or sector, for illustration, how profitable the industry or sector is.
Figure 1.0 shows how Porters 5 Forces were used as portion of the environmental scanning activity, undertaken in this study for Optos, and how this helps Optos place what rivals in the sector are making.
Figure 1 Porters 5 Forces Analysis Optos plc
Barriers to new entry are high. The sum of investing and clip required to come in the sector and derive regulative blessing, acts as a barrier to entry for most administrations.
Competitive competition is moderate. Competitor 's offerings contain more characteristics than what Optos offer ; nevertheless, rivals systems ( Fundus cameras ) can non offer the USP of 200 degree broad field scan.
Buyer Power is low. Peoples will ever necessitate health/eye attention and oculists will ever necessitate to offer oculus tests. US health care reforms allow more US citizens entree to healthcare.
There is moderate menace of permutation, nevertheless no replacements can offer Optos alone broad field scan, nevertheless, larger companies operate within the sector. The broad field scan is patented.
Supplier Power is low. There are readily available stuffs with long standing supplier relationships.
Porters 5 forces refer to internal menaces and external factors that consequence the competitory environment that Optos operates in. For this ground, Porters 5 forces should be used in concurrence with a SWOT analysis.
Environmental Scanning helps place internal and external SWOT elements, which means that an Environmental Scan lays the foundation for the SWOT analysis
Lynch ( 2009 ) states that scheme options can be examined for their consistence utilizing a SWOT analysis. The SWOT in Appendix E allows Optos direction to understand the environment that Optos presently operates in.
Main points from the Swot:
Strengths: Optos alone merchandise offering and PPP gross theoretical account.
Failings: Small development squads and troubles in presenting complex undertakings on clip and to budget.
Menaces: Competitor 's offerings are a concern for Optos although the rival 's merchandises, at this clip, do non hold the alone 200 degree broad field that Optos has. The changeless conflict to run into FDA guidelines, which is clip devouring and dearly-won, is besides a menace to Optos.
Opportunities: Exist, peculiarly in the US, with an aging population and alterations in the health care Torahs, every bit good as new geographicss yet to be explored.

LP Field has a capacity of about 69,143. The first preseason event to appear at the arena was a game in which Atlanta Falcons met the Titans in August 1999. LP Field hosts the annual event Music City Bowl that appears each December. The arena hosts also soccer games as well as concerts and musical events including the CMA Music Festival that appear every June. The other public facilities that are part of the stadium are used as a host to different other events including gatherings, parties, and meetings.
In 1995, the owner of Oilers Bud Adams and Mayor of the city of Nashville announced the intention of the team to move to Nashville, so a decision was made to locate a stadium. In May 1996, a referendum voted for the funding of the stadium. And to fund the building of this new stadium, Metro water tax was raised and the other costs were raised by selling personal seat licenses. And because of a tornado that hit the city of Nashville in 1998, construction at the stadium was delayed but the opening was on its planned time.
In 1999, the Titans moved to the LP Field, and they succeeded in winning all their first 16 games before they lost to the Baltimore Ravens in November 2000. Since the opening of the stadium, all the games of Titans were a sellout. In an exhibition game, the soccer teams Los Angeles Galaxy and Tecos UAG played at the stadium. In 2006, the soccer team U.S men played against the national soccer team of Morocco at the arena. The stadium plays host the musical event CMA Music Festival that appears every June.

VIDEO: Utah Officer Fatally Shot in Head Responding to Accident
A Utah police officer was shot and killed while responding to a traffic accident Sunday, and the suspect reportedly wounded another officer before being fatally shot, reports KSTU.
Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder identified the deceased officer as 44-year-old Douglas Scott Barney, an 18-year veteran of the Unified and Taylorsville police departments and a father of three who worked in the Holladay Precinct.
Barney was responding to a traffic accident around 10:00 a.m., where a man and woman were observed leaving the scene of the crash after fleeing from one of the vehicles involved.
Winder said as Barney approached the pair, the male turned and fired at Barney, striking him in the head. Barney was taken to a hospital, where he later died of his wounds.
The suspect reportedly shot at other responding officers who confronted him and returned fire. Barney's fellow Unified Police Department officer Jon Richey, 51, was struck three times and was taken to a hospital where he was listed in stable condition, reports KTLA.
The male suspect was killed in the gunfight. He has been identified as 31-year-old Cory Lee Henderson. The female he was with fled the scene, and so far she has only been identified as a white female with blonde hair. She has been called a person of interest.

What a savage, should been thrown under jail, but I guess because he has certain rights he was allowed to be released, and now a fellow brother was killed and another one wounded. Wow, I don't here President Obama being blamed for this, or anyone calling him a thug or a savage. I guess its because thugs and savages don't live in Utah. The point is criminals come from every race, color and creed. Anytime a LEO is killed its hurts, and stirs up anger toward the individual(s) that crossed that line. This is a society issue and unless we unite and quit playing the blame game, and start getting after these knuckleheads who are wreaking havic in our world we will be continue to be behind the curve.

Fist-pump the problems of a regular couple up a notch, add a sketchy mix of alcohol and insecurity, and whaddya get? Sometimes sweethearts Sammi and Ronnie. The on/off pair is the closest thing the "Jersey Shore" has to a prom king and queen, but boy do they have issues.
Ron and Sam alternate from smushing to screaming matches so quickly that there usually isn't time to change the sheets. While we're still trying to figure out why this explosive duo can't call it quits for realz, we have been able to find a pattern in all the mayhem that may help us predict what they'll do next. Take a look at the breakdown and see if you can make sense of it all.
1. The Fresh Start: Semisonic was onto something when they included the wisdom "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" in their song "Closing Time." But Sammi and Ronnie didn't get the memo. Instead of coming up with something new, they just hit the restart button and try to redo their faulty relationship, over, and over, and over again. We actually thought a trip to Italy might nip this in the bud. How silly of us!
2. The Jealous Phase: The happy, fuzzy, hopeful beginning from above lasts about two hours before the suspicion starts to reignite. With the initial flirtation out of the way, Sammi and Ronnie go back into full-blown creeper paranoia mode, exploding at one another for any kind of questionable interaction with the opposite sex, which can include texting, dancing, smiling--you name it.
3. Confusion Stage 1: This is the point where one member of the couple begins to question if the attempted rekindling was worth it. Instead of breaking out the Magic 8 Ball (or referring to their past decisions) to get a quick answer, they sit and brood, tear up and stare off into the distance. Did Ronnie really make out with all those girls at the club? Is Sammi really the sweetheart she claims to be? The clouds don't have the answer.
4. A Stupid Decision: After all that thinking and crying and conversing with clouds, Sammi and Ronnie usually come to the conclusion to do something violent rather than reasonable. Faces have been punched, belongings destroyed and hearts shattered, all in the name of ruining a relationship that seemed destined to fail in the first place. Wow, isn't love grand?
5. The End...But Not Really: Don't fool yourself -- things never stop here. After whatever outburst they have in Step 4, there's an itty-bitty period of separation that can span anywhere from a break between seasons to a flash of "The Situation'"s abs. And moving on...
6. Confusion Stage 2: Rather than trying to attract new tail, the two now-single players usually spend their post-breakup days wondering if they made a huge mistake. Soon Sammi and Ronnie start to miss each other, and we all begin to sense that a reconciliation between the sheets isn't far off.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
+ Pretty routine when you break it all down, right? After watching Sammi and Ronnie go through the motions during three seasons, what do think is best for them come Season 4? Sound off in the comments and let us know your thoughts on this never-ending relationship saga!

Phelps Named July Employee of the Month
July 6, 2017
MACOMB, IL - - Western Illinois University Administrative Aide Danette Phelps, from the Vice President for Administrative Services office, has been named the Al and Elaine Goldfarb Civil Service Employee of the Month for July.
Phelps was hired in January 1997 as a secretary III in the WIU Department of English/Geography. In November 2001, she was promoted to secretary IV in art, and in September 2007, she was promoted to staff clerk in the Office of Sponsored Projects. She transferred to her current office in July 2012 and audited to her current position in January 2016.
According to her nominator, as a long-standing employee of the University, Phelps is very knowledgeable of not only her department, but also processes campus-wide.
"She is enthusiastic, patient and professional with both internal and external customers," said her nominator. "She is a dedicated team member and always looks for opportunities to improve efficiency and streamline processes for the division. She is always willing to stop what she is doing to greet or assist others, and she always does so with a smile."
In August 2010, the Goldfarbs established an endowment to permanently fund the University's Civil Service Employee of the Month award. The Goldfarb endowment is used to fund a $100 award for the recipient of the Civil Service Employee of the Month, as well as a plaque.
The WIU Foundation provides a $500 stipend for the Civil Service Employee of the Year. Western faculty, staff and administrators, as well as community members, wishing to nominate a civil service employee for the monthly recognition should contact Civil Service Employees Council (CSEC) representative Christine Staley at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Math (yes I heard the groan from many of you) is a wonderful subject to teach. What I love most about teaching math is that everything is black and white with no gray areas. For example 2 + 2 is always 4. I would like life to be the same way as math, no gray areas. This is my 17th year to teach at Temple. I am married to Tom and have 3 children. Stephen is a 2009 graduate of TCS, Shelby is a 2011 graduate of TCS and Susanna is a 2013 graduate of TCS.

Subtotal: $0.00
Average Review:
This was a fun project and also my first attempt at making soap. For the most part it went well. There was enough of each ingredient in the kit and I love the silicone mold. The problem I had with the layers was that the soap kept getting too thick while I was waiting for the previous layer to harden enough. One of my layers turned out to be a clump of thick soap in the middle that I could not spread. Also the clear glittery layer separated from the other layers while Unmolding
The second I saw this item, I knew I had to have order it to dispense my homemade dry shampoo. I am really in love with the application, the only con is the tiny extra amount that falls out from opening when not in use but it is very minimal. I will be ordering boxes more! Thank you BB
I bought this little gadget thinking if it worked it would be good for dusting between layers to achieve pencil lines. It definitely works, but you need to put quite a bit of colorant to get it to spray consistently. If you only put a small amount in it does not work as well.
I have been using a fine mesh strainer for mica on top of my CP soaps. These sprayers are amazing to spray anything that may not be flat...like imbeds that stand up. They spray nice and even if you push 'consistant' and gentle, if you want a splash of color, push firm and fast and it will burst the color on the area. I bought 10 of these, and love having my mica's already to use.
This looked really cool, and I was getting some coconut milk powder, so I bought it. For some reason though, it doesnt work. Is it a problem with the CMP? I read good things about this so I dont want to ruin the reviews because it can be my problem.
Tina from Bramble Berry replies...Our Powder Sprayer is more meant for powdered colorants that don't tend to clump up. The Coconut Milk Powder does have a tendency to clump so it cannot really be used effectively with the sprayer without clogging it.

Drugstores and other retailers are fully stocked with low-cost home fragrances, from room sprays to candles and wall plug-ins. Now, thanks to Air Esscentials and other such firms, there are options on the higher end: compact yet high-powered diffusers that will infuse scent throughout a room for hours or days at a time.
Examples include Aera, a $200 device the size of a paperback book that its parent company, Prolitec, says can perfume a room of up to 2,000 square feet, with fragrance levels adjustable through an app. Each fragrance capsule costs $50 and, according to Aera's website, will last about 60 days if it is placed in "a 450-square-foot room, on an average setting running for 24 hours per day."
Jeanette Wolfe, a holistic health educator, is a big fan of such devices and a big believer in the power of scent to increase energy and "drop you into a calm place," as she put it.
She used to rely on old-fashioned methods to perfume her Victorian home in Princeton, N.J.: dried flowers and squares of muslin that were infused with essential oils and placed in the air vents. "But it wasn't as strong or clear or efficient a scent as I wanted," Ms. Wolfe said.
Now each floor of the house has its own fragrance dispersed by an AroMini, one of several styles of cold-air diffusers for the home made by AromaTech. According to the company, AroMini, a 12-inch-tall cylinder that costs $279, is strong enough to imbue fragrance in a 1,000-square-foot room. The essential oil or aroma oil refills cost $16 to $180, and last about a month.
Citrus, typically a combination of mandarin and bergamot, wafts through the first floor of Ms. Wolfe's home, while frankincense and sandalwood perfume the bedrooms on the two upper levels. And to get rid of the "old house" smell of the basement, Ms. Wolfe favors "grounded scents" like evergreen, pine, mint and spearmint. "But I change them seasonally," she said. "I'll add spices during the holiday season. I'll shift them if I'm having a dinner party. I'll shift them depending on my mood."
The home fragrance market is a $6.4 billion business at the retail level, according to a 2016 study by Kline, a market research and consulting firm in Parsippany, N.J. Using data from a Simmons national consumer survey, the online research company Statista calculated that 73 percent of Americans used room deodorizers and air freshener sprays last year; the figure is poised to hit 77 percent by 2020.

More than just a way of eliminating odor (we're talking about you, Fido and Frisky), home fragrance has lately become a means of self-expression. "It's an element of design, like the colors on the wall or the furniture — it's a way for people to communicate who they are," said Richard Weening, chief executive of Prolitec, the Milwaukee-based commercial air care company that recently introduced Aera.
"I do not think I've met an individual who doesn't respond to scents," Ms. Wolfe said.
Actually, some don't respond well. Consider the people who are allergic to perfumes or just don't like them. The "fragrance free" movement, which uses the tagline "think before you stink," has tried for years to beat back the use of fragrances in public places, in deference to the scent-sensitive.

Still, there are many who consider lemon-infused air to be a luxury, maybe even a necessity. "The general principle is: People like places that smell good, and they don't like places that smell bad," said Mr. Weening of Prolitec.
To hear him tell it, the conventional tools deployed for making a place smell good — candles, sprays, wax melts, reed diffusers, and so-called liquid electricals like plug-ins — leave something to be desired. The scents are heavy, inconsistent and, in his view, maybe just a bit unrefined. "It's that New York taxicab smell," Mr. Weening said.
Two years ago, Dimitri Gailit, the chief executive of AromaTech, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, noticed that his company was fielding calls from clients who wanted their residences to smell as inviting as their stores.
"So we decided to make every one of our products available for home use," he said.
The devices, sold through the company's website and Amazon, include the AromaCube ($30), a battery-operated diffuser meant for a small space like a bathroom; the AromaPod ($129), designed for up to 500 square feet; and the industrial-strength AromaPro ($849), which comes with an HVAC adapter, meaning it can work through a customer's home heating and air-conditioning system.
The company's cold air diffusion process breaks down aroma oils and essential oils — the most popular are white tea and thyme, and oriental garden — and disperses them in the form of dry vapor.
Depending on the device, customers can digitally adjust the intensity of the vapor as well as the hours that it is dispersed. Control of the diffusers via an app is in the planning stages.
"There are people who are buying our machines for aromatherapy," Mr. Gailit said, "and then there are customers who want to create a certain ambience in their home, like when they're having a party. They may be having a tropical-themed party or a chocolate fondue party, so they'll disperse a fragrance like coconut spice or chocolate."

Customers have responded, Mr. Gailit said: "Since we introduced our consumer line, we have significantly increased our business."
Mr. Weening said he had had the same experience since Aera hit the market. "We're way ahead of where we expected to be with sales," he said. "People are buying multiple machines."
Aroma360's clients are mostly commercial, "but a lot of business owners asked for scents in their home as well," said Meghan McMahon, the company's director of marketing. Residential customers can choose from cold air diffusers that range in price from $149 (for 300 to 800 square feet) to $1,499 (to cover up to 6,000 square feet).
ScentAir, too, ventured into the home fragrance market at the urging of commercial customers. But rather than sell directly to the consumer, ScentAir has made its home fragrance system — which is essentially a high-end plug in that costs $130 — available exclusively on the websites of hotel clients like Marriott and Westin.
"It's a nice tie-in for us," said Edward Burke, ScentAir's vice president of customer strategy and communications. "And by offering the home version on the hotels' websites, it helps us be a better partner."

School Uniforms
Jinte 'staat op': Yes
I think that Having all students wear the same uniform helps create a sense that you belong somewhere and maintain a good school either by culture or spirit . And by showing that the expects an even higher standard, expectations are soon raised and students will usually respond with a better, more mature, behavior. | Carmen 'staat op': No
I do not agree because school uniforms hamper original thinking in students. Everyone says that uniforms make students equal which will cause less bulling but has anyone ever thought about people who are forced to wear certain items, such as a head scarf, to school. They will be pulled out of school at an earlier age if they do not follow the family's religious beliefs. Not only that, all kids should be given the freedom to chose what they like rather than wearing what they do not like. We all have a right to individuality, to make personal choices and to express our personality. This right of free expression includes the way we choose to dress. Making everyone wear the same school uniform infringes on (goes against) our rights and is a misuse of authority. | Jinte: Do school uniforms help to scrap social inequalities?| Amy: Yes
Only a few inner-city schools have had problems with children wearing "gang colours". Many of these have got rid of the problem not by introducing uniform, but by simply having a dress code which bans such gang clothes and symbols. In fact, uniform boosts a "gang state of mind" by marking children out and dividing students from different schools against each other. This can increase conflict between young people outside school, leading to bullying and violence. | Juliëtte: No
Uniform is a social leveller - it makes all the children at a school equal no matter what their family background or income. If students can choose their own clothes, then the rich kids compete to show off their expensive designer labels and costly sneakers (trainers). Children from poorer families get picked on for not being able to afford lots of pricey outfits. Schools in the USA have used uniform to overcome the problem of students wearing "gang colours" if they were allowed to choose their own clothes. Clothes with particular colours or symbols marked rival groups of students out as linked to street gangs. This often led to fighting inside and outside the classroom. If everyone has to wear the same clothes to school, this problem is removed. | Amy: Do school uniforms improve children's' results?|
Carmen: No
There is no good evidence that links school uniform to improved results. A few schools in the USA reported better test scores after they started having uniform, but most of these made other changes to the running of the school which could have helped instead. Studies looking at lots of schools, with and without uniform, have not found any link between what children wear and school results. | Jinte: Yes
Schools with uniforms obtain better educational results. This is because there is better discipline and so the school setting makes learning easier. Without the distraction of checking out what all the other students are wearing (or how much flesh they are showing), students find it easier to concentrate and do better in tests. | Carmen: Are the uniforms...

DUBLIN (Reuters) - Irish banks must tread carefully before they begin to write back provisions on bad loans as a result of a recovering property market and not bow to demands to bolster profits, a senior central bank official said on Tuesday.
Irish property prices are recovering following a devastating crash and are now 40 percent below a 2007 high versus the 55 percent peak-to-trough assumption Irish banks have provided for, prompting some to raise the prospect of write-backs.
However Sharon Donnery, director of credit institutions supervision at the central bank, said banks should remember that an appropriate level of provisions was critical to stabilising a sector brought to the verge of collapse in the financial crisis.
"Whilst there have been improvements in certain key parameters such as house prices, there are still unreliably low levels of activity to have high levels of confidence in changing assumptions," Donnery told a banking conference.
"The ability to write back provisions must be reflective of a conservative view and therefore the timing and extent of any write-backs must be balanced extremely carefully.
"Demands to bolster profits, reserves and capital cannot be allowed to destabilise the progress on debt resolution."
Allied Irish Banks ALBK.I (AIB), which said on Monday it had taken an overall net provision write-back in the first nine months of the year, became the first bank to revise its peak-to-trough assumption to 52 percent in July.
AIB chief executive David Duffy said Donnery's comments were "absolutely right", that its writebacks came from individual restructurings where excess value had been recovered and that it would remain extremely conservative on property prices.
Permanent tsb (PTSB) IPM.I, the only Irish lender to fail last month's European stress tests, said it had also reduced the amount of money set aside to cover losses on bad loans in the third quarter, though it has kept the original price assumptions.
Donnery also defended new central bank proposals to restrict mortgage lending above 80 percent of the value of a home to no more than 15 percent of the aggregate value of all home loans, describing them as "proportionate limits".
Duffy said the deposits required as a result of the loan-to-value rates "might be a little bit high to start with" and suggested a phasing in to avoid pricing out some buyers.

Replacement head unit
My head unit has been on the fritz for awhile so I'd like to replace it. It is the very common kenwood as you can see below- kts_mp400mr. It is larger than a single DIN but not as large as a double. I can't determine which other head units would fit the space the same. I don't want to use an adaptor plate etc as I don't care for that look.
Please help me with what other units would fit the space. Looks like there is updated kenwood, clarion,alpine, sony and rockfort that may fit the space, but I can't figure out how to tell. I'm only interested in Marine units as it will probably get wet. I imagine the updated kenwood (shown below) would be a direct replacement, (with the added benefit of not having to redo wiring) but I wanted to explore my other options as well. Thanks for your help.
The old one
The updated kenwood model

In the present recessed overall economy, a substantial share of homeowners are struggling to catch the attention of customers. When property owners must provide their residence rapid they quite often transform to people or organizations that specialize in obtaining residences for hard cash.

Nearly all of us have read horror stories of innocent homeowners losing their residence to foreclosure frauds. Mortgage financier, Freddie Mac, presents an report regarding how to steer clear of foreclosure rescue strategies.
Being an Trader, people today simply call me approximately everyday, begging me to acquire their dwelling. The largest trouble I encounter is The truth that men and women wait way too lengthy right before they consider motion. By the time they call me they are worry-stricken and Determined. It shouldn't be like that.
I am going to supply you with the very same information I give to Every person else. In case you are delinquent on your house loan, you might want to call your lender now. I recognize you could believe that your lender could be the devil incarnate, but most banks will do the job along with you if you do not disregard their requests. As soon as a house falls into foreclosure there is minimal place for negotiation.
If there isn't a hope of acquiring again on course, ask your lender to interact in a brief sale. Lenders concur to simply accept below is owed around the personal loan When the borrower can offer their house in a particular time-frame. Short product sales are somewhat elaborate and need time and persistence.

It we buy houses in lincoln ne is best to operate using a property Trader who possesses brief sale encounter and understands the procedure.
Promoting your private home to a private housing Trader isn't any distinctive than offering to almost every other consumer. The exception is that traders are experienced and know very well what needs to be done and when to get it done. Dealing with a highly skilled Trader can simplify and expedite the method.
In closing, be certain to go through and extensively have an understanding of any authorized documents just before signing them. It truly is always a good idea to Possess a property lawyer assessment the documents to make certain They may be lawfully-binding and will arise inside of a courtroom of legislation if necessary.

V15: Converting Unsupported Files to Wav
On this topic
V15: Converting Unsupported Files to Wav
Convert a WAV file automatically within 3CX (Windows)
Convert an MP3 or Stereo to Mono Channel
Version 15 and earlier would allow the import of unsupported Wav and mp3 files and convert them on the fly during playback. This process created high CPU usage and unnecessary threads so we removed this conversion. Prompt files need to be prepared correctly. We have found that many customers used unsupported prompts in their installations.
These must be converted PRIOR to upgrading to SP2. (Available in the coming weeks)
You can prepare for this change by making the conversion now. Failure to do so will result in the prompt not being played, and callers calling will hear silence.
All the 3CX supplied prompts are already in the correct format. You just need to convert the prompts you used for IVR, Queues and custom system prompt sets.
Prompts need to be like this:
Format: WAV
Channel: Mono
Bit rate: 8 kHz
Sample: 16 bit
Convert a WAV file automatically within 3CX (Windows)
We have developed a tool that can do this conversion automatically and convert all incorrect audio files in your 3CX Installation.
- Download 3CXConverterTool
- Place the ZIP anywhere on the 3CX machine and extract the zip. You will end up with 2 exe files.
- Double click on "3CXConvertPrompts.exe"
- A command line process will start that will prompt you to stop the following services: 3CX Media Server, IVR Server and Queue Manager Service.
- After services are stopped, press enter to start the conversion. All prompts will be automatically converted and when done you will see "Conversion completed. The stopped services can be restarted." Press any key to exit the tool.
- Start the following services: 3CX Media Server, IVR Server and Queue Manager Service.
All your prompt files will be converted. You can proceed to update to SP2. (You can also do this procedure after the update if you wish).
Convert a WAV file (Manual)
To convert a file you can use a free tool like "Audacity".
- Download Audacity: http://www.audacityteam.org/ and install it.
- Click on "File > Open" and locate the file you want to convert.
- On the left side you will see the current properties of the file. In this case the problem is that the bit rate is 16000 Hz, this has to change.
- Go to the "Project Rate (Hz)" dropdown and change to 8000.
- Click on "File > Export Audio" and the "Save As" dialog will appear.
- Enter a name and select "Save as type: WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM".
- You can now upload this file via the 3CX Management console.
Convert an MP3 or Stereo to Mono Channel
If your WAV file is MP3 or Stereo, do the following:
- After opening the file, click on the arrow depicted below.
- Select "Split Stereo to Mono".
- Close all the streams by pressing the "X" button next to the file name.
- Modify the project rate to 8000 Hz and click on "File > Export Audio".
- Enter a name and select "Save as type: WAV (Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM".

Feeling Good (Nina Simone cover)
Finally…some new music to share! It's been a while, but I have been hard at work writing and recording new music, and playing shows in and around LA. My good friend and collaborator Patrick Joseph and I shot this video of us recording a slightly different take on the classic Feeling Good. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please share it with everyone you think might enjoy it too!
This cover (and our previous cover of Radiohead's Idioteque) are a pretty good sample of what our live show sounds like…so…if you are in LA, we have a show coming up next Friday at Room 5 at 11pm!
Additionally, Patrick and I are excited to be releasing an EP of covers entitled Stranger's Shoes this summer. It will include our previous covers along with some new ones, and there will be a video to go along with each one.
I have other music in the works as well. Nearing completion, and I'm very excited to share that with everyone. So stay tuned!
As promised…
This is a cover of Radiohead's "Idioteque" that I have been working on with my friend Patrick Joseph.
Everything you hear is acoustic guitar or vocals in some form.
Check it out! Leave some feedback.
Undo (Bjork Cover)
The original:
And my version:
Undo (Bjork Cover) by lifetrackedinsound
This is about two years old, just thought I'd share it here. It was recorded live at my senior recital at USC.
Idioteque (Radiohead cover)
If you are a fan of Radiohead…this post is for you. If you aren't a fan of Radiohead…well, this post can still be for you anyway. I'll post the original, and my cover, and you can decide which one you'd like to listen to first. (A word of warning: my version takes a little time to get going, but if you have the patience to listen as it develops, I think [hope] you will find it to be well worth it.)
If you don't know the Radiohead song "Idioteque" from the album Kid A, or if you need a refresher, here is the video of the original:
And here is my interpretation:
Idioteque (Radiohead Cover) by lifetrackedinsound
I think that most people who know me musically, know that I have been, and continue to be, very captivated by the options/limitations of live looping/sampling. I have mostly worked with original improvisation and ambient sound types of looping/sampled music, so this is a bit of a departure for me. This is the second song I have arranged for solo guitar/looping device. The first was the Bjork song "Undo" (which I may post here someday).
This version of "Idioteque" is done entirely on acoustic guitar. It was all done in one take, recorded live, or in real-time. Which means there are no multi-track overdubs. There is very little processing other than a slight reverb and a slight delay on the direct signal from my Taylor acoustic. And yes, I know it is kind of a long piece, but the process of looping requires things to be that way. I spent a few hours doing my best to streamline the arrangement and make everything develop quicker, but adding layer by layer simply requires time to build all the parts into a foundation that the melody of the song is played over.
This is easily my favorite Radiohead song, so it made sense to attempt a cover arrangement/interpretation of it.
I hope you enjoy it!

Spirit Of Canada: This One's For John Mann, Man
Last November, the Canadian music community really stepped up for Spirit Of The West's John Mann, with a big benefit show at the Commodore Ballroom. John was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, and although he attempted to soldier on, the band eventually made a graceful exit with a string of farewell shows at the Commodore.
Around 50 high profile Canuck musicians were there that November evening, and before the show, they assembled in a makeshift studio under the Spirit Of Canada banner to record Home For A Rest. The tune has since been made available to help raise funds for John's ongoing care, and a GoFundMe page has also been set up.
Performers on the track include Jim Cuddy, Sarah McLachlan, Alan Doyle, Ed Robertson, Barney and Dustin Bentall, Colin James, Craig Northey with Odds, Shari Ulrich, Jim Byrnes, Daniel Lapp, Spirit Of The West with Cory Tetford, Shehab Illyas and Kris MacFarlane.
Love, Dr. Scott James

I'm really loving these colours at the moment… dusty pinks, lilacs and soft peach hints. This colour palette has a dreamy romantic warmth that is so inviting. Perfect for adding a subtle feminine touch to your home or workspace. What are thoughts on this colour combo, are you a fan too?
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!

Hey Everyone!
The second Monday of January is known as the Coming of Age Day (成人の日), also known as seijin no hi. It is a national holiday that celebrates becoming an adult. People who turned 20 years old the previous year are invited to a ceremony in their local city hall and often visit a shrine as well.
Women dress in a furisode. A furisode is a long sleeve kimono that is often quite expensive and is given to the women by their parents. Furisodes are only worn by single adult women. It is meant to symbolize their availability for marriage.
Men wear a male kimono and a hakama. A hakama can have legs like pants but can also be open like a skirt. However many men wear western suits now.
After the ceremony and visit to the shrine, families will have a small party. Many photos are taken during this day and the focus is on the 20 year old. After the small party, many of the participants will change into informal clothes and go with their friends to the izakaya, Japanese pub. They go to celebrate reaching the legal drinking age.
There has been a decline in participation of the Coming of Age Ceremonies. Many refuse to buy/rent a furisode or a kimino, which are expensive. Many youths are not in a rush to become adults. There have been times where youths disrupt the ceremonies in protest. Therefore, there is often a police presence during the ceremonies.
It's interesting to see how everyone rallies together to celebrate the young men and women who turn 20 as a community together.

#HealthyBirdy: Favourite Snacks
While you may already know I am a big lover of makeup and beauty products, I also really enjoy living a fairly healthy and active lifestyle. Today I'm taking this blog in a different direction, with the first post of a new series I'm calling #HealthyBirdy.
I'm a big snacker! I try to eat every two to three hours to ensure my stomach doesn't begin to growl. Going long periods of time without something in our bellies, can actually cause us to overeat.
I love munching on something high in protein around three or four o'clock in the afternoon. This keeps me full until dinner and gives me enough energy to get through the rest of my day. Here are some of my favourites:
For some reason, I don't really like carrots on their own. But combined with a dip of some sorts and they quickly become a Birdy favourite! I especially love this particular hummus from President's Choice. It's Roasted Garlic and Roasted Red Pepper with Cumin and it packs a serious punch of flavour!
Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt can be a great source of protein, but can also have a high glycemic index. I try to look for flavours with less than 10g of sugar. I also enjoy adding a sprinkle of chia seeds for their omega-3 benefits.
The Chocolate Chip LARABAR contains four simple ingredients: dates, semi-sweet chocolate chips, cashews and salt. It's literally a healthy chocolate bar!
The KIND Dark Cherry Cashew + Antioxidants is my favourite and it contains 50% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin A, C and E.
Once three o'clock rolls around during the week, I'm usually desperate for a pick-me-up. Chocolate bars, gummy candies, chips and cookies are super tempting, but I've found some really great and healthy alternatives.
Dried Mangos
I love dried fruit, especially mangos! To me, they're similar to fuzzy peaches or fruit roll ups. They're naturally sweet and wonderfully chewy.
Dates are full of fibre, helping to fill you up and get your digestive system moving. While not always the most appetizing in appearance, they are delicious! I found these coconut covered ones at Bulk Barn. They're super soft and sweet as can be.
Snapea Crips Harvest Snaps
These come in a few different flavours: Lightly Salted, Black Pepper, Caesar and my favourite, Wasabi Ranch. They're made with 70% peas and baked to perfection. The pea flavour is subtle and the saltiness provides a chip-like experience.
What did you think of the first #HealthyBirdy post? I have a ton of ideas in mind for this series including some of my favourite recipes, gym necessities, workout routines and more! I'm very excited to share more thoughts and opinions with you!
