My series, The Sacred Women's Circle, is about average, every day women from different walks of life who create a Sacred Women's Circle, a haven from the challenges they face. There aren't aliens or psychopaths, nor is there a great murder mystery to solve. What these women face are the challenges many women around the world deal with on a daily basis.
Lily believes the ugly things men have said to her. She may be successful in her professional life, but her personal life? When she meets Jackson Montgomery, she is afraid to love him back. How can she trust her heart when her head shouts warnings?
Elizabeth believes The Circle will be broken if she chooses to stay in Ireland with her soul mate, Michael Murphy. These women have become the family of her heart. How can she have it all?
Diana wonders if, after living in a false world of privilege and a cold, loveless and abusive marriage, she is worthy of the love of Matthew Houston, a younger man who wants to be part of her life.
Ashley faces another bout with breast cancer. Her husband leaves her and their three children. Daniel O'Donnell and The Circle show up to help. No longer the young beauty she once was, Ashley doubts anyone could really love her.
Hunter ran away from home rather than submit to the wishes of her wealthy family to either have an abortion or give the baby up for adoption. She's struggled as a single mother on her own but what she's dealt with is nothing compared to facing Grant Haywood Parker IV, father of her daughter. To forgive Grant, Hunter must learn to forgive herself.
Gabriella came from the streets. She's worked hard to build a respectable life for herself. A respectable life that does not include men. And then Giovanni Migliori shows up. How does someone who was abused by men from childhood learn to trust?
Sophia had a loving marriage that ended suddenly when her husband was killed in a traffic accident. She is happy for her circle sisters as they each find a true, lasting unconditional love. When Cameron Mitchell, a member of Fremont's police force, shows up in her life, the dark aura of death that surrounds him frightens her. How does one learn to love fully when the future is so foggy?
One of the joys of my life has been writing these books. Not only do these women confront the types of problems many women face, but because they are part of a sacred women's circle they have a safe haven. I know from experience every problem is easier to face if we aren't alone.
Excerpt from Lily, Book One of The Sacred Women's Circle series. Lily Hughes is attending the annual Montgomery New Year's Eve party at the invitation of Jackson Montgomery, Eleanor's son. Jackson's best friend, Daniel and an ex-girlfriend, Susannah are also in this scene.
Lily and Eleanor had front row seats before the large flat screen television as the clock began striking midnight. "One minute to go." Eleanor's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I love seeing the old year out and the New Year in." She leaned over and confided to Lily, "every year I feel the power of turning away from the old and embracing the new."
Suddenly their view of the screen was blocked. Jackson stood before them. Bending over he put his hand on the outside arm of Lily's chair effectively blocking her from getting up. As the countdown continued he leaned closer to Eleanor, looking at her with such tenderness, saying softly that he was so glad she was with him here in Fremont. As the clock started to strike twelve, he kissed Eleanor on each cheek. His eyes shifted to Lily, his gazed heated and he straightened. While the clock still chimed, he wrapped his hands around hers and pulled her into his arms.
"And, I'm very glad you're a part of my life," he whispered as he bent to kiss her. This time it was soft and brief. Leaning back while not letting her go, he looked deeply into her eyes and then lowered his head for a kiss that was no longer soft and brief but hard and long. Lily found herself clinging to Jackson's broad shoulders, felt his strong arms holding her tightly, pulling her closer until there was nothing between them except fire burning deep inside. She clung to him and as he deepened the kiss, passion's flame leapt within.
"Really, Jackson! How could you!" the shrill voice shrieked. "You bitch! You think you can get him by being nice to his Mommy? Well, I've got news for you!"
Jackson fought his way up from the drugging impact of Lily's kiss. He turned, effectively blocking Lily from Susannah's sight.
"Get out of my house, Susannah. Now," he growled in an ice-tinged voice. When she just stood there, mouth open, staring at him, he pointed toward the door. "Now," his frost-laden voice matched his frigid glare.
"You can't mean that, Jackson. Surely you don't mean you want me to leave." Susannah tossed her head, her long burgundy-red hair swirling around her, an expression of disbelief etched on her features and mirrored in her leaf-green eyes. "You can't be serious." She moved toward Jackson, a look of seduction on her face, her hips tilted at a suggestive angle, her voice a husky whisper. "Remember how it is between us, Jackson? You know how much I can please you."
"I want you out of my house, Susannah, now." Jackson's finger stabbed toward the door, his voice a dangerously low growl. "Now!" His jaw clenched as he visibly held back seething anger.
Daniel stepped forward, took Susannah by the arm and turned her toward the door. "Come on, Susannah. Let's get out of here. We can find someplace else to party, someplace that's not so stuffy." He looked over his shoulder at Jackson and mouthed, "You owe me," as he led a stunned and uncharacteristically silent Susannah out of the house.
Jackson turned and gathered Lily in his arms. "I'm so sorry, so sorry," he whispered as he caressed her back and rained soft kisses in her hair. "She crashed, Lily. If I'd ever thought anything like this would've happened, I'd have kicked her out when she first showed up."
"I'm all right, Jackson," Lily murmured. His large hands ranged up and down her back leaving warmth and flickers of heat behind. "Really, I'm all right." And, those words were true, she was all right. So lost in their kiss it had taken a minute before she realized what was happening. Staring at his broad shoulders, hearing the steely determination in his voice as he ordered Susannah out of his house was truly a surreal experience. It had always been her job to protect, to put her body between danger and the vulnerable. Safe and frightened. The strange mix of emotions churned through her. In that moment when he'd first taken her in his arms, she had felt safe, safer than she had for almost two decades — truly safe, and — it frightened her.

Ever since this blog started, I have been writing about some of Bay FM's travails (mostly the station manager's, really) as a fledgeling community station of the Subic Bay Freeport. This time, I'm gonna spare anyone reading my blog from further depression lest they think running a radio station is cumbersome, because it definitely isn't (maybe I just enjoy worrying too much haha!).
Let's talk about music now. Yes, Music. Bay FM is actually a music station. We play all kinds of music 24/7 from sun-up 'til sundown (well, except during Subic Bay Hour, though). This I think is the reason why Bay FM has some kind of cult following here in this part of the country. Our listeners are guaranteed with no-clutter programming, meaning, we do not populate our airwaves with long strings of commercials or irritating breakers.
"Less Talk, More Music," that's one of the bylines we go by, and Bay FM could keep it that way. Thanks to automation and BernieMac, programming runs virtually hands-free most of the time, just like podcasting. It proves to be effective for a small station like Bay FM that is operated by just a small band of radio geeks and volunteer jocks.
Bay FM's typical weekday playlist is mostly composed of all-genre top forty music, spanning from the 90s to present, while during weekends, we go adult contemporary (AC) with music mostly from the 70's to the 90s. Bay FM also has specialized programs in the weekends like Jazz By The Bay (Don't fret Jake, I'll talk about jazz soon :)).
One interesting program we have hosted by our volunteer DJ Jack Ryan (a hulk of a guy who has a day job in SBMA) is Retroactive. He features hits of a particular year in the 70s and the 80s. When Jack Ryan goes on (which is getting quite rare these past few weeks due to his extremely tight dayjob schedule), we get request call-ins from 50-60somethings, especially from the guys at American Legion (an association of veteran U.S. Navy officers who opted to retire in Olongapo City, I think). I once sat through his show and I really had a blast listening to music from artists like the Isley Brothers, Guess Who, BTO & Grand Funk.
During the weekdays, we have TommyG to rely on for the freshest chart-topping hits. He usually does the Billboard top 12 countdown which keeps our music library updated.
From Rock, R&B, HipHop, Urban, to AC and Jazz covering the 70s to the now - I think you'll surely enjoy listening to Bay FM...just be here in Subic Bay Freeport, though.
Hey by the way, check out Bay FM's mini playlist way down this blog (c/o dizzler). It has been there for ages!

Product DescriptionTable of ContentsAdditional Information
China's emergence as a great power in the twenty-first century is strongly enabled by cyberspace. Leveraged information technology integrates Chinese firms into the global economy, modernizes infrastructure, and increases internet penetration which helps boost export-led growth. China's pursuit of "informatization " reconstructs industrial sectors and solidifies the transformation of the Chinese People's Liberation Army into a formidable regional power. Even as the government censors content online, China has one of the fastest growing internet populations and most of the technology is created and used by civilians. Western political discourse on cybersecurity is dominated by news of Chinese military development of cyberwarfare capabilities and cyber exploitation against foreign governments, corporations, and non-governmental organizations. Western accounts, however, tell only one side of the story. Chinese leaders are also concerned with cyber insecurity, and Chinese authors frequently note that China is also a victim of foreign cyber--attacks--predominantly from the United States. China and Cybersecurity: Political, Economic, and Strategic Dimensions is a comprehensive analysis of China's cyberspace threats and policies. The contributors--Chinese specialists in cyber dynamics, experts on China, and experts on the use of information technology between China and the West--address cyberspace threats and policies, emphasizing the vantage points of China and the U.S. on cyber exploitation and the possibilities for more positive coordination with the West. The volume's multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural approach does not pretend to offer wholesale resolutions. Contributors take different stances on how problems may be analyzed and reduced, and aim to inform the international audience of how China's political, economic, and security systems shape cyber activities. The compilation provides empirical and evaluative depth on the deepening dependence on shared global information infrastructure and the growing willingness to exploit it for political or economic gain.

Indiana Pacers head coach Frank Vogel will return next season, reports Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowksi.
After finishing first in the Eastern Conference with 56 wins, the Pacers were kicked to the curb by the Heat in the conference finals. It's the third year in a row Indiana has been booted from the playoffs by Miami, and the second in a row it's happened in the conference finals.
An earlier rumor, from ESPN's Marc Stein, suggested that Pacers' president Larry Bird could tap Mark Jackson as the new coach. In four seasons with the Pacers, Vogel has gone 167-100.
MAHONEY: Pacers will have to get creative -- and lucky -- to keep Lance Stephenson

The ISCOS Emilia-Romagna Committee is born in 1990 on the initiative and effort of Enrico Giusti, a CISL trade unionist who passed away in October 2007.
Indeed, during the 80s, Enrico opened the dialogue with the Brazilian trade union CUT (Central Unica dos Trabalhadores) that had just emerged from the underground to which it had been relegated by the military dictatorship. Ever since, the CUT leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (current president of Brazil), has always been a great friend of Enricos. The cooperative connection, aside from innumerable meetings and trade union exchanges between CUT and CISL, also materialised through the building of the Trade Union School 7th of October in Belo Horizonte, in collaboration with CISL and FIM (Italian Metallurgical Workers Federation). In the same years still, Enrico starts to build the foundations of various solidarity projects linked to the protection of the underage and adolescents, with particular attention to the issue of labour. Even today, many of Enricos initiatives still form the basis of the day-to-day work of ISCOS E.R.
Right from the start, the type of international cooperation chosen by ISCOS E.R. has been based on a relation of reciprocity and exchange with the other, convinced by the fact that we either change together or we dont change at all. It is hence a cooperation centred on this relation between communities which makes us call our convictions into question, our concepts of life and development, before going out to teach someone else something.
It is thus also by political choice that ISCOS E.R. doesnt have offices or staff abroad, but realises its own projects in close collaboration with the local partners with whom it works.
Many of the projects of ISCOS E.R. are open projects thanks to their self-financing and the contribution of the CISL groups and structures, which allows us to develop the intervention together and to modulate it without rigid schedules, forced deadlines, unlikely results. For our way of doing development cooperation, the variable time is fundamental, we know only too well that the changes, above all the social and organisational ones, are slow at yielding fruit. It is the time that turns solidarity into reciprocity, by jointly organising actions and establishing relations.

Cross-border IPOs grow share of listings while market falls
Baker McKenzie's full-year Cross-Border IPO Index rose by 16% to 32.3 for 2016, as cross-border deals gained a larger share of new equity deals in 2016.
Issuers raised USD 30 billion from cross-border IPOs in 2016 through 109 deals. Total deal value fell 25% on the prior year but proved less volatile than domestic IPOs, which fell by 47% to USD 56 billion. Cross-border deals accounted for 35% of new IPOs.
Eight out of the top 10 cross-border listings by value in 2016 were on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with two on the New York Stock Exchange. All ten were by Asian issuers. With IPO activity down across the board, The New York Stock Exchange was the only major exchange to see cross-border IPO growth, with value up 206% and volume 40%. Issuers raised 75% of the total value of cross-border deals on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange alone. Adding deals on the NYSE and NASDAQ brings the total to 96% of the global value of cross-border deals.
Notably, cross-border listings on the London Stock Exchange in 2016 fell the most of any major exchange, declining by 85% in value and 38% in volume, while domestic UK IPOs dropped 58% by value and 26% by volume.
The average amount of capital raised by a cross-border IPO in 2016 was USD 276 million, compared to USD 160 million for a domestic listing.
The story of 2016 is geopolitical instability, particularly as the world waited on the results of the UK referendum and US elections, along with weak economic performance in key jurisdictions, resulting in weaker investor appetite. Investors have been conservative, rewarding realistic pricing and seeking as much certainty as possible.
Koen Vanhaerents, global head of capital markets at Baker McKenzie
Energy and tech set for 2017; financials dominate 2016
Looking to 2017, technology listings have a promising outlook, with Snapchat's mooted IPO. If Snapchat's IPO is successful, it will be the largest US-listed technology offering since Alibaba Group in 2014.
Saudi oil giant Aramco, could also list in 2017 in what would be the biggest IPO in history. Saudi Arabia plans to modernise and diversify its economy. The company is considering the New York, London, Hong Kong and Tokyo Stock Exchanges as possible listing venues.
In the current year, the financial industry dominated cross-border issuance, with issuers raising USD 19 billion, 64% of the global total mainly thanks to Chinese banks, insurers and brokerages listing in Hong Kong.
Consumer products, energy and technology were the only sectors raising more from cross-border listings in 2016. Financial companies also dominated volume, with a quarter of all cross-border deals this year. But the only industry that showed an increase in volume was energy and power, up 80%, with 9 IPOs as energy prices stabilised.
Healthcare has also been in the spotlight this year, with deals stifled by the threat of US government intervention on drug pricing and controls, increased financial risks and the presidential election, causing the industry to see a 61% decrease in listings. The outlook has changed and regulatory intervention receded in the final quarter, which may set the scene for biotech IPOs in 2017.
In 2016 Private equity exits via IPOs fell to USD 22.01 billion, in line with the wider market. Trade sales continue to attract, providing more certainty and potential for higher pricing than an equity offering. However, the six PE-backed cross-border IPOs raised USD 11 billion, an increase of 100%.
Hong Kong, New York and London were the most active exchanges for PE exits. Two of the largest cross-border deals in 2016 were PE backed; Postal Savings Bank of China, and ZTO Express Inc, which listed on Hong Kong and New York stock exchanges respectively.
Financials, healthcare and retail are the top three industries by value for PE backed exits in 2016, with the real estate sector having the highest increase in value.
Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific IPOs declined in volume and value for both cross-border and domestic deals for the first time since 2013. The region still accounted for 76% of all cross-border equity deals, with companies listing in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. Chinese banks led the way, raising a total of USD 11 billion in Hong Kong. China's banks are raising capital to expand and clean up balance sheets. Outside banks, the consumer products and services sector had the highest growth rate for capital raised in 2016 from cross-border IPOs, with an increase of 1,090%, this was followed by real estate and energy and power with an increase of 165% and 24% respectively. The Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, designed to give foreign investors greater access to shares listed on the mainland, launched on 5 December 2016. It is expected to begin to open financial markets in China to global investors.

Europe, Middle East & Africa
Capital raised by companies listing in EMEA decreased by 76% to USD 871 million. Investors remained apprehensive about investing in the region as market recovery remained slow. EMEA is the only region down overall on both debt and equity capital markets financing, with corporates opting for bank finance amid capital market turbulence caused by political uncertainty and weak GDP growth. Following the UK's decision to leave the EU, Q3 was particularly impacted, with only 17 IPOs of any sort across the region. Technology, media and entertainment and energy were the only sectors to increase capital raising via cross-border IPOs in EMEA. Technology and telecoms saw the biggest declines. The value of London IPOs dropped by 62%. However, deal value on Euronext was down 63% and on Frankfurt 31%, indicating a poor year for IPOs generally, rather than any decline of London as a financial centre.

North America
North America was the only region to see an increase in the value of cross-border IPOs, rising 29% to USD 6 billion, with ZTO Express raising USD 1 billion and LINE raising over USD 800 million on the NYSE. Companies in the consumer products and services, financials, consumer staples, energy and power, technology and industrial sectors all raised more in 2016 via IPOs. Healthcare fell due to regulatory action on pricing, though these concerns have dissipated somewhat since the presidential election. US equity markets have risen by around 6% since the election on pro-business sentiment though uncertainties remain about the new administration's policies. Recent announcements of potential cross-border listings in North America in 2017 come from a Brazilian beef producer, a German hotel booking business and a Chinese logistics company backed by Alibaba.

Latin America
There was no cross-border IPO activity in Latin America in 2016, and the region saw only four domestic listings. Equity markets continued to be weak. Mexico's IPO listings have been put on hold after the US election. Finance in the region continues to be dominated by debt rather than equity, with almost USD 91 billion of corporate bond issuance in 2016 compared to just USD 501 million raised by IPOs.

Every time I go to visit my doctor, the first question he usually asks, with a knowing grin, is 'Where in the world are you off to next?' So when I told him that I was planning to travel for a year and gave him an overview of my projected itinerary, he thought it was hilarious but wasn't particularly surprised.
In the month leading up to my trip, and then in the final week, I was a frequent visitor at the surgery to perform my role as a human pin-cushion. Luckily needles don't bother me, and I wear my little round band-aid on my upper arm with pride after each visit.
I think I had almost every vaccination recommended for travel, apart from Yellow Fever because I'm not travelling to Africa or South America.
Typhoid and Hepatitis A
I've now had this vaccine a few times – it lasts between 12 and 24 months, and is essential for anyone planning on travelling in the developing world. Both diseases are passed through contaminated food and drink due to poor personal hygiene – something that is unavoidably encountered in many parts of the world.
The cholera vaccination actually isn't a shot – it's a drink that you take twice, seven days apart. Although the full dose can provide protection for up to 3 years, its effectiveness is nowhere near 100%. Even the leaflet that comes with the vaccine admits this.
It was only on the urging of my doctor that I decided to take the vaccine – I've heard that it can also possibly protect against e-Coli and traveller's diarrhea. Since the cost was almost entirely covered by my health insurance, I decided to take it.
Although my doctor had no strong feelings on whether or not I should take the rabies vaccine, especially considering it's expensive ($100 AUD a pop) and time consuming (3 shots over a month), I'm going to be travelling in remote areas home to unpredictable wildlife (namely: monkeys and dogs) and a bite from a rabid animal can end your trip pretty quickly.
Now I've had the vaccine, I have more time to get to a health professional if I do end up with a monkey tangled in my hair or a Tibetan mastiff clamped to my ankle.
Diptheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough, Polio
Before I travelled to India and Nepal, I had a booster shot of these vaccinations that I would have had as a child. Polio in particular is strongly recommended for people travelling to Nepal.
Meningitis/Meningococcal C
Most young people in Australia now have this vaccine at some point in high school, but it wasn't around when I was at school. Apparently meningitis is frequently transmitted in trekking lodges in Nepal, and it's not a pleasant disease.
The Flu
The last vaccination I had was my yearly flu shot – this year, it includes protection against Swine Flu.
The Cost of Staying Healthy
Getting vaccinated isn't cheap. Shots made up a considerable portion of my pre-trip budget, totalling more than $500 AUD. Happily, once I claimed back the cost of the vaccinations on my private health insurance, my out of pocket expenses came to just under $200. If you have health insurance, check your policy to see what you can claim.
Planning a trip?
Don't take my word for it. Before you travel, consult your doctor or travel health specialist and see what the World Health Organisation recommends for travel to your destination.

REVIEW the Date BOOK
I read the most amazing book with hints on cool dates to do with your spouse. What really made me excited about reading the book, " The Little Book of Great Dates" by Greg Smalley is that I read it during the time that we were in the series Mr and Mrs Better Half at NorthRock ( follow link if you are interested in hearing or watching the sermons from this or any series). During this series our pastor Jonathan spoke about how your relationship has be be intentional and this includes dating while married. The book gives ideas for every week/month general dates, or special dates like anniversaries, how to date with kids, or even dating when things are going on.
Dating must be intentional and this book helps you be intentional.
**Tyndale House Publishers has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book for the purposes of reviewing it, these opinions are my own.****

Fire departments and emergency response teams across Massachusetts will receive an additional $2.7 million in federal funding for training and safety gear.
U.S. Sens. John Kerry and Scott Brown, and U.S. Reps. Stephen Lynch, D-South Boston, and Niki Tsongas, D-Lowell, recently announced that fire departments and emergency response teams across Massachusetts will receive an additional $2.7 million in federal funding for training and safety gear.
Several South Shore towns are among the 13 communities in Massachusetts that have been granted additional funds. The Halifax Fire Department received $799,920, the Rockland Fire Department received $630,090, the Kingston Fire Department received $54,168, and the Hanover Fire Department received $15,200.
"With local budgets crunched, this investment helps make up some of the difference and makes sure that our firefighters are as safe as possible doing an unbelievably dangerous job. Equipment and training is the least we can provide for these heroes," said Kerry.
The funding was awarded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Assistance to Firefighters Grants program. The money is intended to go toward training, health programs, new safety equipment and emergency vehicles for front-line firefighters.
Brown said: "Our fire chiefs and firefighters always tell me how important these grants are, and I'm proud that our local departments continue to receive this much-needed support. Our firefighters deserve to have the equipment and training necessary to continue doing the heroic work of protecting our communities."

A model to replace Obamacare
To the editor:
Remember when U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi said, in reference to Obamacare: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it?" Well, it's been three years, and we are all finding out how devastating the effects of the bill are on hardworking families and small businesses across the country. That is why Obamacare's unpopularity is now reaching critical mass, even among traditionally loyal Democratic voters. Many in the Democratic base are in open revolt and are speaking out against this misguided piece of legislation.
Last month, representatives of three of the largest unions sent a letter to Sen. Harry Reid and Pelosi, writing: "When you and the President sought our support for the Affordable Care Act, you pledged that if we liked the health plans we have now, we could keep them. Sadly, that promise is under threat. We can no longer stand silent in the face of elements of the Affordable Care Act that will destroy the very health and well-being of our members along with millions of other hard-working Americans."
The sad reality is that Obamacare cannot work because it violates basic economic principles. Cost and quality can only be effectively controlled when individuals in the marketplace control the system, not government bureaucrats or "experts" in the Independent Payment Advisory Board. When politicians and bureaucrats take our money via taxes and (minus the bureaucracy cost) spend it on our health care, the cost and quality of health care procedures are ignored because it is not their money and the procedure is not being performed on them.
Regardless of the number of flowery speeches that President Obama and his congressional supporters deliver about Obamacare, the fact remains that the burdensome red-tape mandates in this bill are hurting working families and small businesses. Mass layoffs, reductions in work hours, tax hikes, and an exodus of doctors and health care providers abandoning entire states are only sad symptoms of this diseased legislation.
We must repeal and replace Obamacare with a health care system that controls costs and improves the quality of care. We can reduce the long-term cost of health care by increasing competition using the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan as a model. This model will empower health care consumers and dissolve all the Obamacare panels that were created to take away the health care choice and freedom of the American people. Once you cede liberty in any form, whether it is economic or health care, the costs of reacquiring it are unimaginable.

We need to keep history in our schools
To the editor:
It is imperative that we and our children read about the historical evolution of every country we encounter and with whom we interact. How else can we intelligently assess the stimulus behind their responses and actions to world events?
This enables us to make wise decisions on behalf of our nation with regards to our political arena and world affairs as they impact us. We reside in the United States, which is presently and will subsequently remain multicultural. It is a fact that history teaches. We need to keep history in our elementary schools.

A conservative who uses fear-mongering, smear attacks, and lying to silence or ruin the reputation of anyone who disagrees with them. Named after the infamous Senator Joseph McCarthy from 1950's
Even after the McCarthyist was caught red handed persecuting someone for practising their right to free speech, the McCarthyist still tried to play the victim.
by D.H.B. February 08, 2007
In the United States, "McCarthyist" is what liberals call people who openly express anti-communist opinions.

Hi CCA,
It seems that you can submit your form without filling in any of the fields. If you want to make sure the form is filled in entirely, you will need to make your form fields mandatory, otherwise, end users will be able to pick and choose which fields they fill in. Hope this helps! Have a great day!
- JotForm SupportWelvinAnswered on February 18, 2013 at 03:45 PM
In addition to what Osyrys say, you may want to consider checking the changes to your form field variables in the Form Notifications settings.
Also, best solution for that is to re-create the form notifications. First, delete the notifications by following this guide: How to Delete Notifications/Autoresponder. Next, is re-creating the Notifications by following this guide: Setting Up Email Notifications.
I hope this helps!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'General Mac Discussion' started by Shrek, Aug 13, 2002.
Here is what it said:
What do you think?
I think the 19" iMac is a bit much. Other than that... just fine! I sent a similar message to them today about the new PowerMacs.
ah c'mon 19 inch?
first there was "just" 15 people started whining ahhh gimme 17 gimme 17.... now there is "just" 17
and people want 19...Where does it end?
And ports on the front side look like crap.
I agree,there's a reason why they are on back. Apple knows whats best for you.
I would prefer at least one firewire port on the front.... it's easier for you to hook up your camera to it instead of having to move so you can access the back
I swear everyone who retorts "ports on the front look like crap" are "plug and stay" users (don't move their FW devices much/at all) that partially defeat the greatness of FW (hot swapping and mobility). While people who want a port on the front are "plug and play" users who actually take advantage of FW portability or have FW cameras.
One damn port in the front isn't gonna kill anyone and might actually come in handy...
**** that! The future is bent on convenience, not good looks silly.
and everybody is alway shouting that those macs look so good.
IMHO, ports on the front of the machine could make it look even prettier than it already is, if they are carefully designed. They could be made with covers on them to look like buttons rather than ports. They could even be made colorful and all, too.
The above will be good for you, but only if you care about looks upidstay.
As for the 19" iMac idea, personally I'd like a system that I can afford and be able watch DVD-movies and play games on a BIG SCREEN. That doesn't sound unreasonable now does it?
If Apple could innovate completely new computers, don't you think they'd be able to come up with a way of making the ports on the front look non-obtrusive? They could add a small access hatch on the front or something, sort of like the concept of the original iMac's ports cover (minus the wires hole, of course!) In there, you could have the headphone minijack, 1 USB and 1 FireWire port.
>(iwantanewmac) ah c'mon 19 inch?
first there was "just" 15 people started whining ahhh gimme 17 gimme 17.... now there is "just" 17
and people want 19...Where does it end?
Think of it this way. It's the same idea people get whenever a bigger iPod comes out.
Shrek, if you want a bigger monitor, the iMac is NOT going to be the answer (at least for a LONG while). If you can't live with the current 17 inch and you are short on money get an 867MHz PowerMac and a custom display. That's what the PMs are for: Expandability and lots of options.
Um, it's too bad that I'd like something that has desktop power, but is still light enough and small enough that I can lug it over to a friends house or take it with me on vacation every once in a while, etc.
I've already looked at the TiBooks, but they are too expensive and the screen is not big enough for me.
a 19" iMac would look like a billboard sticking out of an orange. the 17" is ugly enough. as for the new PowerMacs, Barf! i can't even believe they released such an eyesore. and with so little under the hood. this fake DDR crap has got to go. it is clearly a marketing strategy rather than a technology improvement. what is with the garage door on the front? and the Camaro-style air holes? it is just so butt. it looks to me like they tried to make it look mean. ya know, Jaguar, rarrgh! but it came out looking like a retarded cat. if those holes in the front were a way to conceal a few USB and FW ports i'd think differently about them. i won't be buying another Mac until we see a DDR bus and a new chip 2ghz+. that's pretty much what i said in my letter to Apple today.
just curious if you've seen the 17" imac in person
i know that for myself, i saw the poster (at mwny) and it didn't impress me much. then i saw it in person inside and i like it alot.
of course, as with everything, to each their own
There we go with the looks thing again. Ok, maybe looks are important to some people, but they don't have to be perfect, right? I mean think about it. Wouldn't you want a computer that can do more and is more convenient to use despite it's appearance. And it's not like PC's look any cooler. Geez. . .
Just food for thought.
in order to put the ports on the front on the iMac, maybe Apple could steal an idea from the automotive industry. I think we have all seen cars where the tunk (i mean, trunk) key slot in covered by a rotating brand emblem, or something. Imagine the chrome Apple logo rotating aside (or sliding up, or out, or. . .) to reveal a port or two for quick access. Hey, wait, that is a great idea- I call patent.
well, i stopped by the SoHo store yesterday(when you get back in town do yourself a favor and checx it out.very nice.) to see if they had the new Camaros in but no luck. i did see the 17"er for the second time in person but i couldn't get near one because of the crowd. but you're right it definitely looks better than the picture. i'll have to get a closer look. it just seems a litte "Pam Anderson", ya know top-heavy hell, maybe it's not so bad after all. the 17" iMac has a damn nice rack! (o)(o)
You know I rarely get involved in any sort of "flaming" however, you're a f***ing idiot.
The quicksilver or whatever it was called was gorgeous, but a design that's almost identical but with some venting (which is far nicer looking than the venting on any other computer) is butt ugly.
Garage door on the front? Show me one other computer ever that had two optical drives on the front that looked that nice? Oh, and the old computer you thought looked nice, it looks the same, but with only one drive door.
Like I said, you're an idiot.
How about an iPod with a 19 inch screen and an iMac with a 3 inch screen and 40 GB hard drive?
It's almost the same as that a peecee guy says..you can't play games on a mac well.
solution------>buy a console.
solution for you-------->buy a dvd player (very cheap therse days) and a BIG screen.
there ya go. And ow yes put it in front of your favoite chair.
>(bousozoku) How about an iPod with a 19 inch screen and an iMac with a 3 inch screen and 40 GB hard drive?
wow! did you get fired today or something? the world is full of opinions. i'm sorry that mine got your briefs in such a situation. calling strangers idiots because their opinion differs from yours is, well, idiotic. lighten up dude. it's just a computer.
when you read each post, it helps you see when people learn from other posts or whatever. so, i suggest you read tj's post where he specifically says that they saw it in the apple store, from afar, and agree that it looks much better ni person, and wants to see it closer, and it has a nice rack, etc etc
at least talk about his dislike for the new pmacs, which he hasn't revised his stance on. though i don't know of a ton of people who disagree with him, he just happened to put it very bluntly
tj- they'er definitely better in person. how do you feel about widescreen in general? i think my like for widescreen (given film background) made me like em more...
I deleted the flame part of the post.
The best way to look at an Apple product: Not off the damn internet, but as a reflection of light given off that enters your eyes directly.

"Johnny" shouted Marjory, her voice carrying the length of the garden. "Johnny, stop running about. Go sit with your Grandfather."
Sluggishly, Johnny dawdled along the garden path towards the small arbour where his Grandfather sat. As he walked he ran a stick along the fencing so it made a clackety-clack sound.
Most adults found the noise annoying, but Grandfather Eddie clapped his hands together, jumped from his seat and said "Go back a bit Johnny, go back and do that again."
Johnny liked his Grandfather, he was funny. He did lots of stupid things and told jokes which his mother called, 'only nearly funny'. That was when he wasn't grumpy.
Not that Grandfather Eddie was ever grumpy for long, he had his special sweets, his toothache drops. If he felt bad, he ate two or three of those and he was smiling and laughing again in no time.
Johnny often wondered why Grandfather Eddie did not go and see the dentist more if his teeth hurt. Surely a dentist could make the pain stop, or he could take Grandfathers tooth away altogether?
Grandfather wrote songs. Not old songs like he was old and Nanna was old, but songs you hear on the radio. He knew all the stars and artists. Grandfather had even been on television and had trophies for writing, on display inside the house, next to his collection of guitars.
Sometimes the famous people came to eat dinner at Grandfathers house, or to have a barbecue. Some of them were coming today. Which is why Johnny had to be on his best behaviour. Although, when you heard and saw all the things these people did, Johnny wondered why he had to behave when no one else did?
Adults can be strange at times. Most times.
Johnny sat opposite Grandfather Eddie and, looking directly at his face, watched as he tapped away on the laptop key board. His Mother said, "Don't disturb you Grandfather when his typing." So, Johnny waited patiently.
"That's it" Grandfather said, a big grin spreading across his face as he shut the laptop. "So, Johnny, that's the Vampire Dunkin Monkeys next big hit in the bag. That's the Grunge-punk awards won for this year and it's all down to you and your clackety-clacking."
"I could have done more Clacking, but the Lemon tree is in the way" said Johnny.
"You have done quite enough young man, I shall reward you handsomely, when the record become a big hit."
"Can I have a fast car, an orange one, with silver wheels?"
Grandfather Eddie laughed. "When you are old enough you can have all the cars you want."
"Eddie" it was Nanas voice. "They are arriving."
"Right, Johnny." said Grandfather Eddie, "Let's go to work, let's get that fast Orange car for you, shall we?"
"Go to work? I thought they were your friends?"
"My friends are Alexander Hamilton, Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Franklin, William McKinley and Grover Cleveland. You would do well to make their acquaintance too, young man."
Grandfather Eddie popped two toothache drops into his mouth as they walked towards the house.
When they met their guests, Grandfather Eddie was chatting and buzzing like a teenager.

It is not an easy task to catch a girl's attention especially when is she is pretty and smart. You are just like any other boy to her, and you need to do put in that extra effort in order to attract her towards you. Flirting is an art that only some people can master. It is one of the most conventional ways to get to her heart. For her help, we tell you 5 of the many flirting moves that you can try on her:
Do not give up
They say, 'Try, try, try and one day you will surely fly' Although it is humanly impossible for a man to fly, but perseverance can help you reach the sky. No matter how hard it is to get her, just do not give up. She might feel annoyed at first, but you need to keep trying and she might just get attracted towards you. It is stupid to say that the first impression is the last impression; you just need a single good flirting move and she will go all gaga for you.

Big news in the Nissan motorsports world: Nissan/Datsun has been selected as the featured marque for the Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) Speedfest vintage races at the upcoming Classic Motorsports Mitty vintage festival, where legendary Datsun/Nissan race driver John Morton will serve as the grand marshal.
Now in its 41st year, the Mitty festival – the longest-running vintage and historic race in the U.S. – returns to the celebrated Road Atlanta road course the weekend of April 26-29.
The bespectacled Morton is best known best for driving a BRE Datsun 510 to a pair of Sports Car Club of America titles in the Under 2.5-liter Trans-Am series, and also winning a pair of two SCCA C-Production championships in a BRE Datsun 240Z. These early racing successes in 1970, 1971 and 1972 put Nissan on the U.S. racing map, proving to the world that the 510 and 240Z were capable of defeating highly regarded European makes like Alfa Romeo and BMW. And of course, Morton's Datsuns wore the Brock Racing Enterprises red, white and blue livery, a classic paint scheme that has spawned countless numbers of tribute BRE 510s around the country.
The popular and talented Morton's success with Nissan went far beyond BRE. Some 15 years later, he joined Nissan's IMSA-dominating GTP ZX-Turbo program, sharing a car with Geoff Brabham in 1988 that defeated the mighty Porsche 962s and won at challenging circuits such as Road America and Watkins Glen. Later, in 1994, Morton bolstered his competitive legacy by teaming with Steve Millen and Johnny O'Connell to win the 12 Hours of Sebring in a GTS-class Nissan 300ZX, which was followed by a class victory (and a fifth-overall finish) at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
"I'm excited to be going to Atlanta," remarked Morton, who said Road Atlanta is particularly special to him because it's the track where the Nissan IMSA GTP team started an eight-race win streak back in 1988.
"It's a real honor to be named grand marshal," said Morton. "Road Atlanta is right up there with the best road racing tracks in the country, so I'm pleased to be honored in this way. Nissan has a tremendous racing heritage that goes back even before BRE, but it really blossomed under BRE in 1970 and continued through the GTP era. Nissan has a tremendous amount of racing credibility. An awful lot of people still support Nissan and Datsun in racing today, and most of that enthusiasm goes back 50 years."
A member of multiple motorsport halls of fame, Morton is a regular on the vintage race circuit and has competed often with HSR, the sanctioning body for the Mitty. As grand marshal, Morton will sign autographs in the Classic Motorsports tent, but he also will race an exact replica of his No. 46 BRE 240Z. Morton said the Z, beautifully built by Georgian Randy Jaffe, is a faithful recreation of the original Z he drove to two SCCA titles, but unfortunately no longer exists.
Celebrating its status as the featured marque, Nissan North America is bringing several historic cars to the event, highlighted by the original No. 46 Datsun 510 that Morton drove to the 1971 and 1972 SCCA Under 2.5-liter Trans-Am titles. Other classic Nissans on display will include the No. 83 GTP ZX-Turbo, nicknamed "Elvis" for its on-track dominance in 1988, and a 1990 PPG Indy series pace car, plus a 1971 240Z and a 1995 300ZX twin turbo, an SMZ special edition from Steve Millen's shops.
To whet your appetite for the Mitty (and see why so many fans are crazy about BRE Datsuns) check out this vintage promotional video; it's a fun look back at Morton's 1971 championship season in which he battled Horst Kwech in the Alfa Romeo all the way until the last race of the season at Laguna Seca. Sure, the film's a bit grainy, but that only adds to its charm as it beautifully captures the spirit and feel of this significant chapter in Nissan motorsports history.
Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

UV Radiation
Basic information on UV radiation
UV rays are a part of the invisible spectrum of solar rays, from 10 to 400 nanometers in wavelength. Depending on the wavelength, Uv rays are divided into: UV vacuum (10 – 200 nm), UVC (200 – 280 nm), UVB (280 – 315 nm), UVA (315 – 400 nm).UVB and UVA rays present a special danger because they are the most potent carcinogenic factors to humans, that directly cause the development of skin tumors and melanoma. On that issue, UVB rays are more dangerous than UVA.
Sun UV radiation and the ozone layer
The atmospheric layer is around the Earth. From 8 – 12000m all up to 55000m, the stratospheric layer is placed, which contains the ozone layer. The core of the ozone layer is between 22 and 28000m, under and over that, it is less concentrated. Ozone is the thing that reduces and stops the penetration of UVA and UVB waves, depending on it's density on one side and the position of the Sun on the other, the intensity and strength of UVA and UVB radiation reaching the surface of the Earth is determined. Reduction in ozone layer density, and thus the increase in UV radiation over the last 30 years has caused a great increase in all kinds of skin carcinomas.
Artificial UV radiation
Except for the Sun, UV radiation originates from artificial UV lamps. Sun beds are the principal source of artificial UV radiation as well as UV lamps for nail enhancement. Artificial UV radiation is even more dangerous than natural because of higher concentration – because a large amount is received in a single dose.Our basic recommendation is protection from solar radiation, and avoiding sunbeds to the highest extent. By that, You are doing the primary prevention of skin tumors and melanoma, in fact, You are prevening the development of unwanted skin lesions.

Making Every Dose Count
While there's great promise in leveraging the power of the human immune system to fight cancer, clinicians demand greater clarity into patient selection for immuno-oncology therapies. Far too many patients receive the expensive therapies but experience no benefit, creating immense therapeutic waste.
ImaginAb addresses this challenge. Studies have shown that all current cancer immunotherapies converge on increasing the presence and activity of cytotoxic CD8 T cells. Our proprietary antibody-fragment imaging technology binds to and illuminates these critical cells, providing a whole-body image of immune response activity as well as a highly specific view of their presence at the tumor.
With the resulting image, our technology informs treatment decisions—selecting patients most likely to respond to immunotherapy and monitoring the course of therapy.
Following highly promising pre-clinical data, our lead immuno-oncology imaging agent IAB22M2C is on track to begin clinical studies in 2016.

Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site is currently accepting proposals for its 2014 season of site-specific artist installations. Maximum funding is $7,500 per project. The deadline for proposals is June 13, 2013.
For guidelines, helpful hints, and FAQs, please visit our website at EasternState.org/art
Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers. Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, this was the world's first true "penitentiary," a prison designed to inspire penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of convicts.
Its vaulted, sky-lit cells once held many of America's most notorious criminals, including bank robber Willie Sutton and Al Capone.
Tours today include the cellblocks, solitary punishment cells, Al Capone's Cell, and Death Row. A critically-acclaimed series of artist installations is free with admission.

It has been argued that many obstacles remain to reaching an integrated and harmonised Asian fund passport. These include disparate levels of expertise and know-how in the region, different tax treatments, or regional competition among the partnering jurisdictions.
However, it should be evident that serious initiatives have been put in place. As a consequence, competition with the European Ucits brand could emerge and global companies will have to reconsider current strategies in the region.
Local Asian markets have been trying to favour the development of their domestic industry. For instance, in the past two years in Taiwan, investment restrictions on offshore funds have intensified. Now the concentration of Taiwanese investors in a foreign fund cannot exceed 70%; the concentration of investment portfolios of an offshore fund in Taiwan securities markets cannot exceed 70%; all commission fees (which are usually higher for offshore funds) must be disclosed; and a tougher, income-based, tax treatment is applied to overseas income for Taiwanese residents.
Given this situation, it was not surprising to see the rise of proposals for a regional fund passport, such as the one in Europe.
In April, the Monetary Authority of Singapore issued a consultation paper on standard requirements and product restrictions for mutual recognition of collective investment schemes under the Asian capital market forum.
The Australia and Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation initiative gathers finance ministers of Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. The movement aims to liberalise and harmonise the regulatory developments for a regional fund passport. A finely-tuned regulatory framework is expected to be finalised and a pilot will be launched later this year.
Another initiative emanated from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), which is composed of ten Asian jurisdictions: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. This group targets the liberalisation and harmonisation of the financial markets.
Last year, Asean announced several new initiatives. The implementation of the so-called capital market integration is expected to be achieved by 2015. It consists of key themes such as regional economic integration, market infrastructure expansion and taxation.
Product innovation should always be welcomed. Hopefully, the expected market growth in Asia should be large enough to accommodate European and Asian products to the benefit of all end investors.

YAY Festival 2012
Identity for Yay Festival 2012 – a creative Scandinavian festival
Background: YAY Festival is a collaboration between Snask and Grandins Flying Circus. Together we visited different lecturing festivals around the globe and found that things were missing. This sparked an idea of a festival with the combination of inspiring and entertaining talks, live music and a spectacular after party – everything packaged as one festival.
The Case: We decided to arrange the first festival as a free entrance-event where sponsors would finance everything. Ten days before the event we had to close the lists of people who wanted to go. The interest was huge and on the night of the festival, the venue got packed instantly with 150 people, with a long queue outside.
The Yay festival was a huge success and the next time it will grow. Interested? Please email email@example.com.
