Jobs in health care are very important as there will always be people that need medical assistance. If you are looking for a job as a Healthcare Manger, there are some things that you can do to find and get the job that you are looking for. The first piece of advice is to network. Get out on the web and find places to connect with others that are in the healthcare field. They will likely be able to provide advice about interviewing tips as well as give you insider information about certain companies that may be hiring. There are online groups that you can join to get a feel for what a position such as this really entails.It is a great idea to post your healthcare resume and supporting information online so that perspective employers can find you easily. Be sure that your resume is current and really shines a great light on your accomplishments, your previous employment history, and your abilities. You want to sell yourself to them before they even get a chance to meet you.You can check with local placement consultants. They are sometimes hired by companies to locate the best employee for their hiring needs. They will have insight to companies that are hiring and if you impress them they will likely refer you for the openings. This can get you in the door and on the right track towards your career in Healthcare management.Some positions require that you relocate to another town. If you are not willing to relocate then you should be sure to put this in your resume or online posting. You don't want an employer to waste their time considering you for a position in another town that you would not take due to relocating. You also do not want to get your hopes up for a position only to find out that you would be required to move if you accepted it.Another way to get into a great position is to ask around to your friends and family members. Find out if they or someone that they know works for one of the companies that you would like to work for. If they do then maybe they could put in a good word for you. You would work your magic in the interview in order to get hired but they could at least get you an interview. Once you do land that interview you will have to be prepared to bring your A game. Dress to impress and be sure that you are well versed in the recent happenings in the Healthcare world. You want to be prepared for every question that they may ask and have an intelligent answer waiting for them.You should stress the accomplishments that you have made or helped to make in your previous jobs and showcase them in your medical resume. You want them to know that you will work hard and are capable of getting the job done and done well. If you have gotten the interview based on a recommendation from a friend, chances are very good that they have already gotten a good deal of information about you and you do not want to disappoint your referral.

I took an unusual route into sustainability: I started out with a maths degree and qualified as a chartered accountant. Increasingly concerned about the state of our planet and interested in environmental issues, I returned to university to study environmental change and management at Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute. Since 2003 I've worked for a range of organisations and myself covering all aspects of sustainability. I worked for Bioregional in the early 2000s and again last year, working on NW Bicester eco-town and related projects. I led the sustainability assurance programme for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games at the Commission for a Sustainable London 2012. I was Chief Executive of Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust for three years. Early in 2016, I featured in Friends of the Earth's members' magazine where I talked about my new years resolution. I planned to follow Bioregional's One Planet Living Principles through the year. These are:
- Health and happiness
- Equity and local economy
- Culture and community
- Land use and wildlife
- Sustainable water
- Local and sustainable food
- Sustainable materials
- Sustainable transport
- Zero waste
- Zero carbon
For various reasons, it's taken me until May 2016 to get started blogging about this. I plan to use this blog to share information about sustainable solutions and the things that interest me. More to follow soon.

The Americans With Disabilities Act requires employers to provide disabled employees reasonable accommodation. As a result, employers are forced to ask difficult questions, such as whether an employee is a qualified individual with a disability or whether the requested accommodation is reasonable. Technology which enables employees to work from home has added a new level of complexity.
The Sixth Circuit's EEOC v. Ford Motor Company, 782 F.3d 753 (CA6 2015) opinion provided much needed guidance to employers on telecommuting requests. Judge McKeague wrote the opinion, stating "The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requires employers to reasonably accommodate their disabled employees, it does not endow all disabled persons with a job – or job schedule – of their choosing." Id. at 753. The Court held that Ford Motor Company ("Ford") was not required to allow an employee, whose job was highly interactive, to telecommute up to four days a week on an as-needed basis.
As a resale buyer the employee was required to act as an intermediary between field and part suppliers, a "highly interactive" job. Although some interaction occurred by email and telephone, many interactions required "good old fashion[ed] interpersonal skills." The employee's performance deteriorated over time because of absences caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The employee requested the accommodation of telecommuting from home up to four days per week on an as needed basis. During a meeting with her supervisor and an HR representative, the employee admitted that she would be unable to perform four of the essential job functions from her home. As a result, Ford denied the request to telecommute, but offered to move her work area closer to a restroom, or allow her to look for a job better suited for telecommuting. Ford's offers were declined. Four months later, the employee missed a deadline and her employment was terminated for subpar job performance and excessive absenteeism.
"[A] reasonable accommodation may include job restructuring and part time or modified work schedules, but it does not include removing essential functions from the position." Because the employee admitted that she could not perform essential job functions, the court concluded she was not a qualified individual with a disability and denying the telecommuting request did not violate the ADA.
Employer lessons:
- Technology enables many employees to perform essential job functions working from home.
- The job description is frequently the employer's first line of defense in a failure to accommodate case.
- Employers should review current job descriptions and essential job functions.
- Is regular on-site attendance an essential function of the job?
- What about interaction with customers, vendors or colleagues?
- Where applicable, job descriptions should note that the position requires regular on-site attendance and interaction with others.

'C' for is confidence
What does it take to be America's next drag superstar? That's an easy one – we're beaten around the head with it every bloody episode.
Charisma. Uniqueness. Nerve. Talent. More than just a funny acronym that spells 'cunt', it's a set of markers that the devoted Drag Race fandom live their lives by.
Last month, we once again watched with bated breath as RuPaul chose the next queen to untuck with her eight other champions in the Pantheon of the Immortals.
There's no doubt that Naomi Smalls has the nerve, catching fire midway through the competition and proving to the world she's a force to be reckoned with; not just a cracking pair of legs.
And Kim Chi isn't just unique, she's the "next generation of drag" – albeit one the world maybe isn't ready for just yet.

Dub Incorporation was really something different, unusual but unique. Somehow their sound evoked a heightened sense of emotion and excitement. Perhaps just the vibe and audience brought everything together. This French-Algerian has their own way of putting Reggae and Dub into one pot and creating a powerful potion.
Dub Inc. has been around for some time now and perhaps there always will be groups that might not know of and when they are brought to out attention and we do come across them, our appreciation for Reggae and their contribution to the industry will be proven by our following particularly them. Dub Inc. has definitely caught my attention though. Based Saint Etienne, France Dub Inc started their group in 1997, with their range of styles in their music they have managed to capture the hearts of many including dancehall, dub, ska and even rap. One of the most interesting aspects about Dub Inc is that their music is influenced by African and Arab music and the mixture of languages, French, English, Arabic and Kabyle.
Seeing them for the first time live on stage at Overjam was fantastic enjoyed their performance.

Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals MLB Pick and Odds - 9/9/14
Atlanta Braves (74-70) at Washington Nationals (81-61)
MLB Baseball: Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at 7:05 pm (Nationals Park)
Ervin Santana (R) (14-7) (3.614) vs. Jordan Zimmermann (R) (10-5) (2.930)
The Line: Washington Nationals -135 / Atlanta Braves +125 --- Over/Under: 7 See the Latest Odds
The Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals play game two of three on Tuesday night.
The Atlanta Braves have lost five of their last seven games and are four games above a .500 record. The Braves lack of offense continues to kill them, as they've been held to three or less runs in seven of their last nine games. The Braves have lost five straight when scoring three or less runs. Freddie Freeman has a five-game hitting streak and Jason Heyward has gotten on base in nine of his last 10 games. The Atlanta Braves have an ERA of 3.33, which is sixth in the majors. Ervin Santana gets the ball, and he's 14-7 with a 3.61 ERA and has 159 strikeouts in 174.1 innings. Santana is 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA in six career starts against the Nationals.
USA TODAY Sports
The Washington Nationals have split their last eight games and are 20 games above .500. The Nats are just waiting for the postseason to begin and are cruising through the final month of the season. The Washington Nationals have an ERA of 3.12, which is second in the majors, and they've won 12 of their last 14 games when allowing three or less runs. Offensively, Ian Desmond has a four-game hitting streak and Anthony Rendon has hit in eight of his last 10 games. Starting is Jordan Zimmermann, who is 10-5 with a 2.93 ERA and has 156 strikeouts in 172 innings. Zimmerman is 3-2 with a 2.92 ERA in nine career starts against the Braves.
The Braves are 2-6 in Santanas last 8 road starts and 5-1 in Santanas last 6 starts overall. The Nationals are 39-17 in Zimmermanns last 56 home starts and 53-23 in Zimmermanns last 76 starts overall.
The Braves are in a downward spiral. Give me the much better team in the Nats, at home and for the cheap price.

My Class A RV (2002/3 Damon Intruder) needed several items fixed over the Christmas Holidays (2017). In September (2017) I had called the service manager (Russ) and inquired about dropping of the rig on Friday 12/22/17) and picking it up on the 2nd.
He said I needed to call him about mid-December, and I followed his instructions. I asked him to keep it plugged in since there would be food in the refrigerator. He told me that as a rule they don't keep them plugged in and to empty the food out before bringing the rig to him. I was concerned that the rig would have to have water in it to fix the washer / dryer, but he told me that the weather never gets freezing cold that time of year and not to worry.
Needless to say that 2018 started the year off with a week of sub-32 degree days. The rig was not heated and suffered broken bath fittings, toilet sprayer line, shower head and ice maker failure. The Camping World technicians had cycled the washer / dryer through several wash cycles and left water in all the lines and parked the rig outside until they received the new water heater they said had to be installed to stop water leaking in side the rig. They placed the order for the new water heater, but failed to have it expedited to the store, so picking up the my rig did not occur until mid-day Saturday, 1/6/18.
The installation of the new hot water heater was not tested and in fact the water heater was completely "valved" out and did not have water circulated in it before it was returned to me to drive to Birmingham and park on my rental space. I called the Camping World Service Desk and they said that there was an on site repair guy that would fix was not working. The Camping World service writer (Mark Prater) had given me this man's card when I picked up the rig earlier that day. When I got the water running finally that Saturday afternoon, I had water leaks all over the rig, the hot water heater would not ignite on the gas side, the electrical heating element did not work, the washer / dryer leaked even worse that it had when I took it in, and the large slide-out that Camping World had serviced would not slide out.
It has taken more than a month to get the rig to a place where most of the problems are now fixed. During that time Camping World has refused to pay for the damages to the rig from the freezing temperatures and not paid for the work that the "on site repair" service has done.
Having a conversation with the "on site repair" serviceman I have learned that this is a norm for Camping World of Oxford. So if you really don't mind really shoddy repair and service to you rig, ask for Rus he and his technicians will not fail to show you how incomplete and untested repair and service can be accomplished at a fairly steep price.
Product or Service Mentioned: Camping World Rv Repair.
Reason of review: Bad quality.
Monetary Loss: $1000.

Cloud computing is wildly popular at the enterprise level, where IT managers are focused on maintaining stable systems that are used by hundreds or thousands of employees. Most consumers encounter the cloud on an individual basis, however, with cloud storage. Where are your photos and files? They're in the cloud. But wait, what's the cloud? It is not a giant hard drive in the sky.
When you store something "in the cloud," you're actually storing it in a very physical space. That file slides across the wire and then lives on a physical server (usually more than one) in some far flung place. And depending on which cloud storage service you use, that file is now in the possession of a giant corporation to whom you probably pay a monthly fee. Anybody who's ever used Dropbox knows that this makes it incredibly convenient to access files or to share files from any computer with an internet connection.
In the past, you just bought a computer with a hard drive inside and stored your files there. Now, you pay a company like Apple or Google to store the file remotely and provide you with access when you ask for it.
In short, if your data lives "in the cloud," it actually lives on a company's server, and you more or less pay a membership fee to work in and access that company's server. Depending on that company's terms of service, you may or may not actually own or control that data once it lives in cloud storage. This raises a few glaring concerns in terms of security and privacy, so it's vitally important to read the terms and conditions and ensure your files still belong to you once they are "in the cloud".

Dwight Howard is currently one of a handful of athletes who finds himself the subject of TMZ.com's reports.
That could change if the site launches TMZsports.com, as was reported yesterday.
Howard's reaction?
"I don't know what the world is coming to, that's all I can say," Howard said. "I don't want to get on TMZ's bad side. Seems like people want to hear more about bad stuff than good stuff, which is supposed to be the opposite way around.

Sure there are pizza places on every London high street and delivery chains that'll satisfy your doughy cravings from Heathrow to Theydon Bois but the last decade has seen the rise of the serious London pizza joint. Often run by Italians and always boasting a wood-fired oven, these are the restaurants that are elevating the simple disc to an art form.
Franco Manca has been shaming London's less dedicated purveyors of pizza on all fronts. These are artisan pizzas. The mushrooms are wild, the meats are special breeds and until you've actually bitten into the sourdough crust, your achievement badge in oven-baked, tomato and cheese embellished street food will remain inaccessible. As if that wasn't enough, it is cheap as hell. The expletive is justified: the most expensive dish on the menu is a fiver and some shrapnel, which should fit happily in to most peoples' increasingly stretched dining budgets. They've expanded to a couple of locations now but we love the original in Brixton market. There's something special about eating London's best pizza standing up in the bustle of the market stallholders.

There's a constant refrain we hear from our New York visitors: "Why can't you get decent pizza by the slice in London?" And for years it was true – the good pizza places were sit-down, full-pie places. But then Voodoo Ray's started selling delicious, spicy slices to east London night owls and a whole generation was turned onto them. Now they're in Camden Market too but for Qbic guests, the Boxpark branch is just around the corner. The slices are huge, the toppings simple and they're baked so quickly that you can be in and out in five minutes. For a truly one-off experience try the Rubenesque – it manages to combine sauerkraut, Russian dressing and slat beef and still be totally tasty.

It used to be that in the depths of Crystal Palace there wasn't much to eat, which is a shame because what with the athletics and the park it gets a lot of visitors. Well now there's 400 Rabbits, one of the best pizzerias in the city. There's an inventive set of toppings to suit all tastebuds – we recommend the courgette, pine nuts, garlic, feta and mozzarella. However it's not just all about pizza at this pizza-haven – no there's an array of rare craft beers and gelato in flavours that will send you into a daze too.

Dotted throughout pizza's spiritual home, Naples, are friggitorias – small glass cabinets usually sitting outside pizzerias, displaying healthy mounds of golden bon bons. Risotto, macaroni, mashed potato… they can all be balled, breaded and bathed in boiling oil. Served in white-turned-translucent paper bags, they are hoovered in the street and taste better than your entire seven-course taster menu. They are an ever-lasting food memory in a small and greasy ball and they make a perfect case for Naples being the best city in the world. That was until Pizza Pilgrims did what someone should've done years ago. They've only gone and opened a friggitoria in their new pizza joint in the heart of Soho. Naples, it's on. You may have ancient ruins and a volcano for a neighbour, but we are London. And now the Pizza Pilgrims boys have nailed your frittatine di maccheroni. Be afraid.

Is there a better foodie combination than pizza and beer? Nestled beside the canal in Hackney Wick, Crate has secured itself a rather cosy little spot in a soon to be booming area of East London. Housed in a former print factory, this craft brewery has been set up by a group of locals, who've built it all from scratch themselves. As well as offering a range of ales, bitters and stout that are all brewed on-site, their main draw is their perfectly turned out stone-baked pizzas. Middle-Eastern lamb, laksa chicken and truffle and sage are personal favourites. Friendly portions of topping, with arguably the best pizza base we've been lucky enough to taste, make for a winning combination. What's more, with the weather finally turning to a more agreeable state, Crate offers a rather idyllic setting for a beer by the water.

text: Manny, I posted this topic over on the other site, but I'd really like your opinion on it. First, is there a "first note of the day" that you play almost every day? For example, I've noticed that the first note I play every day is a second-line G. Second, do you think that starting every day with the same note has any physical or psychological affect on your range? For example, am I establishing (subconciously) that second-line G is the middle of my range? What would happen if I changed that first note of the day? Would going up a fourth or fifth help increase my overall range? I'm really curious if you have any opinion on this matter. Thanks Manny (or anyone esle that would like to chime in!) Joe Lewis

Still waiting? well.. here it is! :)
visit! : www.glossybox.co.uk
these are just my opinion guys. :)
The usual Glossybox Box :)
The usual 'whats inside the box' paper. :)
Anddd here it is :)
Londoner Urban Fragrance
♥ Thanks to glossybox I have sooo many sample fragrance just like this. wonder if they would really give us the full size next time.
♥ Not really fond of the smell it has a musk-y smell. all I can say. :D
♥ goshh. the full size is expensive! £81.00/100ml
Awapuhi Moisture Mist 100ml
♥ It says you could use it for your hair & skin to give moisture and helps you feel refreshed all day long.
♥ well.. I dont use anything or any brand that I dont know and just slap it on my face. no way. so I just tried it on my hair.
♥ and I thinkk... it was okay(?) the smell.. well there was no smell or anything.
♥ the consistency is water/watery like. no gel no oil.
♥ did it soften/smooth the hair? no.
♥ guess it just hydrates. nothing else. guess thats why they call it moisture mist :D
♥ Price: £9.35/300ml
JELLY PONG PONG COSMETICS (cute name)
Lip Frosting 15ml
♥ Says that it is a multifunctional cream gloss that you can use it as a gloss for lips for a tint of colour or cheeks for a luminous glow.
♥ as you can see from the picture below I applied it on my hands first just to know what it will look like before applying it anywhere.
♥ first I thought 'oooh pigmented' but after I blended it out fortunately I was like 'nvm' :D
♥ so it is sticky. but not too sticky.
♥ tried it on my lips and didnt like it. didnt gave any moisture instead it just sits there.
♥ although the smeeeell is heavenly! love the smell.
♥ ohh and no way im applying it on my cheeks!

♥ This is the second Monu product that I have and both came from Glossybox. 1st one was a Day Cream and I thought it was okay.
♥ I definitely needed to change my moisturizer at night and this is good.
♥ as for consistency, just like the day cream one. it is thick but once you work it on the skin, its vey smooth and easy to apply. It absorbs into the skin very well shown below.
♥ the smell is again just like the other Monu I have. Light smell; good for those who doesnt like strong smell with their products.
♥ I have yet to try this so thats all for now.

As an Illustrator & Artistic Director myself, a note for all is that it can be worth your while spreading your content across a range of Social Media sites, not just keeping it in one place! This is not only to get the best and maximum coverage for your designs, projects etc. But, to present your work to consumers in different ways – formatting, sizing, images, text or no text…
Some folks (designers or consumers) have really no interest in platforms such as Pinterest or Tumblr for example. However, you can use your tools and brand to change that perspective and way of thinking. For instance, instead of trying to sell all your work on a Facebook community, just because your comfortable with presenting your work that way and making posts on that platform, why not consider writing a blog post about it on WordPress, making an Etsy to get direct sales, having a Gallery on Instagram and Tumblr for which you provide links to all, where and when you can, obviously having a main hub to feature it all professionally (such as your personal website).
I know, it can feel like a lot of work, but not only will you reach a wider audience – as mentioned (as some people really couldn't care less for what posts appear on their Facebook feeds or what is lurking on their Instagram "discover" page) but it will also allow you to make good use of presenting what your doing, in the best way possible. I must admit, something like Pinterest isn't exactly the greatest at showing off a pretty gallery, but it's awesome for marketing, promotion and for people who are looking for ideas! This way you can post your content up and provide links to the necessary places to draw people back in to the source (such as your website)!
Anywho, the reason for this post is just for that – to show and list all of my Social Media platforms for you to check out under; Lauryn花Cheney. There you can see where I present my work, and the different views and effects it gives.
Happy Viewing!

Accidental Enter Press Looses data
I have accidentally hit enter while working within the SecurityAssist Wizzard a number of times - all it does is return to the page that I am working on.
This is a little irritating as everything that I have already entered into this Wizzard is lost instantly. Should the Wizzard not got to "NEXT" or kick out an error if it hasn't been completed?
Thank you.

Having the Harmonia Living Urbana Middle Section with Sunbrella Cushion can add comfort to an outdoor space, but the real strength of this piece comes when you add it to a Harmonia Living Urbana sectional. This deep, plush design offers plenty of comfort and can add size to a sectional for a truly indulgent experience. An exterior of woven resin wicker is stretched over a frame of powder-coated, heavy gauge aluminum to create the modern form you see here. The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) wicker is an innovative material that offers the texture and subtle, shifting color of natural wicker, but thanks to its synthetic composition, it's also highly resistant to moisture, fading, rot and peeling while it lives outdoors. The sectional is stacked with a pair of deep, foam-filled cushions covered in Sunbrella's rugged, all-weather fabric. This hard-wearing material maintains the rich feel of a premium textile while resisting the effects of UV-exposure. Inside each cushion is a Dacron-wrapped slab of polyurethane foam that is made to shed water so you always have a dry place to sit. You've got the chance to put your own stamp on this piece when you choose the wicker shade for the body and Sunbrella fabric color for the cushion covers.
About Harmonia LivingBased in San Diego, CA, Harmonia Living was born out of a desire to provide quality, versatile, and interchangeable outdoor furniture that people could afford.

Cinderella on Ice - Edinburgh Playhouse
CUTTING smoothly through their reworking of the Cinderella story, The Imperial Ice Stars might take their time to build up to it but they eventually achieve a truly spectacular piece of entertainment.
The opening scene is relatively conventional looking back through the gauze of time to see Cinderella's happy home life come to an end with the death of her mother.
But it's the rest of the story which takes a great spinning triple leap into the
unknown. Fortunately, it is light enough on its feet to end up facing the way it is travelling, but there is enough that is unusual about the plot to confuse the unwary.
For starters, there's no fireplace to sleep in for Cinders, or Buttons to be her pal.Dad is a watchmaker, the wicked stepmother is the local ballet mistress and the vile stepsisters are arrogant little ballerinas who get preferred for the big roles when the prince figure actually the mayor's son comes to see a production of Swan Lake.
The fairy godmother figure is transformed into a fortune-teller who, confusingly for anyone looking for a higher moral to the tale, is at odds with Cinderella's father. And the Dandini role belongs to the town's dressmaker.
If the plot is a tad confusing, particularly the intrusion of the Swan Lake ballet
complete with music, the performances most certainly are not. These ice-skaters know how to put emotion and character into their moves, as well as making the most difficult lifts and turns on the tight skating stage seem easy enough to emulate.
They are helped by the way that director and choreographer Tony Mercer keeps a good balance between telling a story and stringing a series of moves together. So, for the most part, the jumps, lifts and set-piece moves are all built into the story.
Fortunately, the company's request to rework Prokofiev's Cinderella ballet music for the ice was turned down. Instead, this is accompanied by a musical score which, while it might be lush and anodyne by comparison, at least fits with the rhythm of the skating movements.
It is in Act Two that this really begins to go to town you can't go far wrong with a ball sequence. It allows the choreography to let rip, for no other reason than it wants to. So it is that a tap-style move, reminiscent of Riverdance no less, creeps into the show, and one skater even does a series of flic-flacs across the ice.
If the best is reserved for the big love scene of the finale, when the choreography literally takes off, this is eminently watchable all the way through whether you're a skating fan or simply want a spectacular night out.

Quick Reference
A trade policy intended to influence the trade policies of other countries. A policy is said to be strategic if, while it would not be beneficial to adopt it if the policies of all other countries were taken as given, adopting it may be beneficial if it caused other countries to change their trade policies. For example, an export subsidy on a particular good might involve making losses if all other exporting countries continued to supply the world market, but might be beneficial if announcing the subsidy induced some or all foreign competitors to withdraw from the market.

ASUS: Prime, TUF and ROG
There is plenty of ASUS in this test with six different models. The Prime X299-A is the cheapest board of this brand with an average price of 267 pounds / 300 euros; compared with the slightly more expensive ASRock X299 Taichi it takes a step back in multiple regards. For example, the Prime has two SATA-connectors less, only a single network connector and a less extensive power supply.
The basis of that power supply is pretty much the same for every ASUS X299-board, with eight phases for the CPU, but the used secondary components do differ quite a bit when you go higher in the line-up. The X299-A performs very well in the CPU-benchmarks, but this is because ASUS does not keep to the Intel turbo-specifications which means the CPU has a standard overclock.
For 13 pounds / 15 euros more you can purchase the TUF X299 Mark 1, part of the The Ultimate Force-series. As is typical for this series (at least, since recently) a lot of components are under hoods and the back is equipped with a backplate. The chipset heatsink doubles as a cooler for an M.2-SSD. This is seen on other X299-boards as well, but in this case we also find a small fan in order to offer active cooling. We are not a fan of this, because small fans often produce a lot of noise for very little air movement. The Mark 1 does not only differ from the Prime in terms of aesthetics, but it also has a different approach when it comes to the features. We count at least nine fan headers – ideal if you want to cool a high-end system – and a graphics card holder is included which allows you to securely place it. Worth mentioning is that this board also has a five year warranty, whereas this is usually three years.
One of our ASUS favorites is the TUF Mark 1. Despite the active cooling we can appreciate the large number of features and the relatively modest price, and the long warranty provided by ASUS.
With an average price of 329 pounds / 370 euros, the Strix X299-E Gaming is slightly more expensive once again. You receive, among other things, 867 Mbit/s 802.11ac-WiFi and of course rgb-lighting – after all, it is a gaming motherboard. However, the second network connector of the TUF-board is absent here and there are also less fan headers – although with a total of seven you should still have enough. Also worth mentioning is the, in our eyes, strange choice to leave out DTS Connect, the technology that allows surround sound to be sent via S/PDIF. Especially gamers will want to use this, and on other ASUS X299-boards we do find this feature. After asking ASUS about this, they told us that they see it as an entry-level feature: if you purchase a more expensive board you will probably connect an amplifier using hdmi, which allows for uncompressed multi-channel audio in higher quality, which means DTS Connect should no longer be needed. In our opinion the absence of useful features on luxurious products is still a rather interesting strategy.
If you want RGB-lighting with a fast WiFi-chip, the ASUS Strix X299-E Gaming is a good choice, but in other regards it is not as complete as the cheaper TUF Mark 1.
The most expensive model in the regular series is the Prime X299-Deluxe, which is one of the most expensive boards in this test with an average price of 418 pounds / 470 euros. This board basically combines every thinkable feature into a single product. The list with possibilities is nearly endless: 802.11ac-WiFi with Bluetooth, two times gigabit Ethernet and five times USB 3.1 (including one front header). This board also has on-board buttons for turning the system on and resetting the BIOS. All this effort results in an extremely well performing motherboard.
The ASUS Prime X299-A and Prime X299-Deluxe.
We tested two models from the Republic of Gamers series. The Rampage VI Apex is entirely focused on overclockers which for example means it has less SATA-connectors, network connectors and even memory slots than we usually find in this price segment. However, the quality of the power supply and specific overclocking features are top-notch. We already covered this board extensively in a separate review.
The ASUS ROG Rampage VI Apex is completely focused on overclockers.
We also released an extensive review of the Rampage VI Extreme. ASUS goes all-out with this very expensive motherboard and every feature you could think of is there – even the features that you may or may not need. Unique is the support for addressable RGB, ledstrips that can show a different colour for each individual led.

Transforming NATO Forces: European Perspectives
By: C. Richard Nelson, Jason S. Purcell
Executive Summary
The evident and growing transatlantic military capabilities gap has given birth to a litany of U.S. recommendations as to how NATO's European members might spend, procure and think differently in order to be better able to confront the challenges facing the Alliance. Many of these recommendations are sensible: the European Allies should spend their defense budgets as wisely as possible, while developing transformed rapid reaction units that can be deployed quickly to wherever needed and that will be able to operate effectively with their U.S. counterparts.
European governments certainly recognize the existence of the gap and they agree that measures must be taken in order to reduce it. However, these governments face a variety of concerns and constraints, which are both incompletely understood by many U.S. commentators and substantially varied among the different countries that comprise "NATO Europe". If the two sides of the Atlantic are to cooperate effectively in upgrading Alliance capabilities, U.S. officials and experts must fully understand European positions and be willing to support initiatives designed by Europeans, for Europeans. The United States should also take steps to change those of its policies that reduce the ability of European governments, planners and industry leaders to pursue transformation fully.
Understanding the prospects for transforming NATO forces with new capabilities requires informed judgments about how European members will respond to the challenge. The following papers represent an important contribution to furthering this understanding. Together with the discussion they stimulated, the papers pointed toward a general consensus on both sides of the Atlantic about the need for new capabilities. Most experts agree that the ability of NATO forces to work well together has eroded substantially since the end of the Cold War. Interoperability at every level – tactical, operational and strategic – is threatened.
Many factors contribute to this interoperability problem. Most often, the problem is described in terms of a growing gap in capabilities between the United States and other NATO members, which, in turn, is attributed to different levels of defense spending. As priorities shifted away from military security (and as the threats to that security seemed less and less evident following the end of the Cold War), both the United States and European members reduced defense spending substantially. However, the problem goes even deeper because the product of European defense spending amounts to much less than the sum of its parts in terms of national defense budgets and total deployable forces. Spending defense funds more wisely would be helpful in raising the effectiveness of European contributions to NATO. This could involve combining defense training and procurement infrastructure, pooling resources, moving from conscription-based to all-volunteer force structures and developing niche capabilities. Of course, in moving in this direction, care must be taken so that the Alliance does not overly depend on one member with critical capabilities. viii TRANSFORMING NATO FORCES: EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVES
Reasonable duplication of niche capabilities might therefore be necessary in order to avoid the risk of having a single point of failure.
The United States has also contributed to the problem of declining interoperability. For example, strong barriers have been erected by the U.S. government to protect military and dual-use technology. This discourages close transatlantic industrial cooperation. Furthermore, weapons, equipment and materiel are procured almost entirely from U.S. firms, reducing the potential benefits of broader competition. More importantly, the U.S. acquisition process has largely ignored requirements for NATO interoperability. This, in part, is due to the inefficient bureaucratic process of setting NATO standards, which often results in tailoring those standards to the technological pace of the slowest members. Nevertheless, common standards are needed to enable European forces to "plug in" and take advantage of rapidly changing technology.

Of course many women and men set out to find Mr. or Mrs. Right; however, some sites that we set sail to find that true romance may not be a wise decision. I have found that many daters on (POF) are continually looking for fresh meat because many of the dates are a flop. Many women share their desire's careers, what they hope to find online to only be disappointed by the results. With so many singles in one place, how do you expect to find Mr. or Mrs. Right?
Well to be honest, I do not think there is a high percentage; mostly today many sites required payment for best results. Dating site owners suggest that when you pay for something that you are serious about, the greater chance for single men and women to find their potential matches. I personally do not think that this is a true notion; I find that paying for a dating site is like paying for entertainment, a dater will pay to play with a woman or a man's heart. However, many believe that the bigger the fee for love the better the results will be. I can agree with this to some degree!
I think that dating has become so hard because we fail to understand who we are as individuals. We ask so much and have demands, but these demands have not landed us the right man or woman. So I am thinking out of all the women and men on the dating sites, there is a possible chance that one may find 20 % of women and men who are looking for serious relationships. For one thing, I think the layout of dating sites are all wrong; how about allowing daters to view one personal ad at a time, instead of thousands of women and men once they have met their potential match.
I find that if dating sites would put a limit on how much you can browse a day, or ask would you like to continue communicating with a potential dater before talking, or viewing anymore singles would be the perfect setup! I am not saying get rid of all your variety of men and women, but take some time to get to know your choices before moving forward. So for example, you are searching the site, a man may find a woman that could be his ideal match. He sends a message and waits that whole day for a reply and possibly lands a date. The dater has time to reflect on the positive things he heard from his choice. In addition he can remember their name; this dater will not be able to view anymore women of his choice and vice verse until they have decided to move on. I think this setup will help couples focus on who they need to focus on at that time. It seems with so many distractions online it is very difficult to find the right person. I also believe that one needs to be careful of how they search the engines. Meaning, if you find a man or woman showing all the goods in a profile, it may not be a good idea to continue the process of meeting that individual. I have to say that you can determine a lot about a profile picture; I have seen many red flags that women overlooked that should have been of concern. This logic also goes for the men;
The point is I feel that if you truly want to find love, maybe just meeting them in person is a better option. Most people are able to fix themselves and not focus on just you when they are online. Another point is that a person cannot be figured out through a profile picture or phone conversation. To see someone in person shows more than what you would get from the phone or the internet. Let me be clear, I know that there is no way to determine the true person from one or two meetings, or even find out all you need in years, but it most certainly gives you more of an idea of who they are.
I mean this by the words they choose, how they sit at a table, how they interact in conversation, how they handle alcohol, how they react with other individuals like staff at a restaurant, and so much more. I would say your chances are better in person than dating sites especially (POF). I am not saying that all dating sites are bad, but I am saying that you may spend more time trying to weed out the bad apples before you would find the right man or woman online.

Productivity in action.
Washed all the February Blanket blocks I've finished so far this year.
Wound a warp for an 8-shaft deflected doubleweave scarf for a friend.
Wound a warp for a random, green, plainweave length of cloth, just because (probably because it's almost spring). Some of these yarns are handspun.
Helped another friend with a fine-dining tablecloth emergency. (Six-inch drop or twelve? How to reinforce an inside corner? We resorted to sampling with sheets of paper.)
And I'm a sheep - I ordered yarn for a Stopover. I'm not the only ewe on this farm, however.
Passion. Courage. Character. The Linnet struggles to express herself through knitting, with occasional excursions into chasing rare species. And considerable blather.

Luberon country house with pool — Nestled at the foot of the Southern Luberon mountains within a large wine estate, this splendidly restored 17th century chateau exudes charm throughout and boasts stunning views over the valley and surrounding vineyards; all within just two miles of the typical Provencal village of Tour d'Aigues.
Tastefully decorated and furnished with a blend of country antiques and period furniture, Chateau la Dorgonne maintains a strong Provencal identity. Original paintings, an 18th century tapestry, open fireplaces and typical polished floor-tiles all convey a genuine Provencal atmosphere. The beautiful landscaped garden has an abundance of scented lavender, pink laurels and rose bushes, with century-old trees provide pleasant shaded areas. And what better way to relax than lounging by the pool or enjoying a drink on the terrace overlooking the valley and hills of the Luberon National park!
There are delightful medieval villages scattered throughout the national park, many of them perched on rocky hilltops and centered around an ancient castle or tower. Tour d'Aigues, on the banks of the River Eze, is the nearest to Chateau la Dorgonne and a very pretty one too. Venture a little further within the Luberon area to discover the remarkable gems that contribute to the region's unique fame and appeal. Visit nearby Grambois or Pertuis in search of a good restaurant or Ansouis, Cucuron and Lourmarin to spend some time browsing among their weekly market stalls or just enjoying the atmosphere sitting in a local cafe. Endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits are available in this region, including hiking, horse-riding, cycling and even hiring a pedalo on the small Lac de Peyrolles.

In this article we investigate the importance of mass transfer effects in the effective acoustic properties of diluted bubbly liquids. The classical theory for wave propagation in bubbly liquids for pure gas bubbles is extended to capture the influence of mass transfer on the effective phase speed and attenuation of the system. The vaporization flux is shown to be important for systems close to saturation conditions and at low frequencies. We derive a general expression for the transfer function that relates bubble radius and pressure changes, solving the linear version of the conservation equations inside, outside and at the bubble interface. Simplified expressions for various limiting situations are derived in order to get further insight about the validity of the common assumptions typically applied in bubble dynamic models. The relevance of the vapour content, the mass transfer flux across the interface and the effect of variations of the bubble interface temperature is discussed in terms of characteristic non-dimensional numbers. Finally we derive the various conditions that must be satisfied in order to reach the low-frequency limit solutions where the phase speed no longer depends on the forcing frequency.
Undernutrition exposure during the perinatal period reduces the growth kinetic of the offspring and sensitizes it to the development of chronic adult metabolic diseases both in animals and in humans. Previous studies have demonstrated that a 50% maternal food restriction performed during the last week of gestation and during lactation has both short- and long-term consequences in the male rat offspring. Pups from undernourished mothers present a decreased intrauterine (IUGR) and extrauterine growth restriction. This is associated with a drastic reduction in their leptin plasma levels during lactation, and exhibit programming of their stress neuroendocrine systems (corticotroph axis and sympatho-adrenal system) in adulthood. In this study, we report that perinatally undernourished 6-month-old adult animals demonstrated increased leptinemia (at PND200), blood pressure (at PND180), food intake (from PND28 to PND168), locomotor activity (PND187) and altered regulation of glycemia (PND193). Cross-fostering experiments indicate that these alterations were prevented in IUGR offspring nursed by control mothers during lactation. Interestingly, the nutritional status of mothers during lactation (ad libitum feeding v. undernutrition) dictates the leptin plasma levels in pups, consistent with decreased leptin concentration in the milk of mothers subjected to perinatal undernutrition. As it has been reported that postnatal leptin levels in rodent neonates may have long-term metabolic consequences, restoration of plasma leptin levels in pups during lactation may contribute to the beneficial effects of cross-fostering IUGR offspring to control mothers. Collectively, our data suggest that modification of milk components may offer new therapeutic perspectives to prevent the programming of adult diseases in offspring from perinatally undernourished mothers.
The synthesis of monazite was first reported by Radominsky (1875). Since then various methods have been used to synthesize various end members of the monazite solid solution series, mainly CePO4 and LaPO4 (e.g. Anthony, 1957, 1965). As part of an experimental study dealing with the solubility of monazite in granitic melts (Montel, 1986, 1987, and in prep.), the synthesis of some of the end members, as well as solid solutions, was achieved.

Once You're Accepted
After students receive an automated email notifying them that their TTU Study Abroad application was approved, there are still a few important steps to be completed.
- Commit to participating in your program.
On your online TTU Study Abroad application, click the "CONFIRM" button located on your home page. Once complete, your Student Business Services account will be billed the non-refundable Education Abroad Fee ($200).
- Complete TTU application requirements.
Now that you are approved by TTU, new requirements appear on your online application. Carefully read and sign each of the signature documents and complete additional questionnaires.
- Complete program application requirements, if applicable.
If you are participating in a exchange-partner or provider-partner program, then you must also apply directly to the host institution and/or provider. These application deadlines differ from Texas Tech deadlines, and your Study Abroad Advisor can assist with this part of the process. Please disregard this step if you are participating in faculty-led program or program at the TTU Center in Sevilla.
- Do research about your host country and its cultures.
Too often this step is dismissed by students who later realize how much better prepared they could have been if only they had made the time. There are numerous resources online including OIA's Global Safety and Security Resources, C.I.A. Factbook, National Geographic, Lonely Planet, the U.S. Department of State, Go Overseas, and more. Visit the How Much Do You Know About Your Host Country? page for a list of thoughtful questions you can ask yourself to make sure that you're informed.
- Receive medical clearance.
After acceptance, all study abroad students must be medically cleared to travel. Most students will only need to complete and submit three forms by the established deadline, but some students also require a travel physical appointment depending on the location(s) where they will be abroad. Consult with Student Disability Services about concerns, if applicable, and visit the medical clearance webpage for more details. Study Abroad staff recommend submitting the three required forms well before the deadline to prevent delays receiving medical clearance!
- Watch the mandatory Pre-departure Orientation video and complete the quiz .
All students must watch and pass the Pre-departure Orientation video and quiz. Students who do not complete and pass the quiz are not approved to study abroad. A link to the Pre-departure Orientation video is included in your online TTU Study Abroad application, open for a period of time the semester prior to your time abroad. Note that in addition to Pre-departure Orientation, your department or college may require that you attend additional orientations/workshops.
- Register for an International Student Identity Card (optional).
This card allows you to prove your student status worldwide and gain access to discounts and benefits in over 125,000 locations. Visit the new ISIC webpage to order your ISIC online, and be sure to list Texas Tech as your home institution. Delivery takes approximately three or four weeks, and the cost is $26. Free standard shipping is offered via the ISIC portal: www.myisic.com/orders/store.
- Apply for scholarships!
Check out our Scholarships webpage for details. If you are planning to use federal Financial Aid during the term that you will be abroad, you have the option of meeting with the Study Abroad Financial Aid Advisor. Visit our Financial Aid webpage for instructions to make this appointment.
- Complete student visa application and other immigration requirements, if applicable.
Depending on your citizenship, travel destination(s), and the length of your study abroad program, you may need to apply for a student visa. This process will vary greatly depending on the three aforementioned variables, so it is imperative that you carefully research the steps you must take to obtain your visa successfully and in time for your date of departure. Note that it is your responsibility to research immigration requirements and submit your student visa application. Your Study Abroad Advisor can assist you with the application process.

Electrocution causes over 140,000 fires each year, resulting in an additional 400 deaths, 4,000 injuries, and lots of property damage. This unfortunate electricity hazard is one in which most people still don't know how to handle, and first aid knowledge in the event of electrocution is apparently not-so-common knowledge.
Here we will be discussing the steps to take to minimize casualty in the event of electrocution.
Avoid Direct Physical Contact With The Person Being Electrocuted
In a lot of cases, well-meaning people also get electrocuted when trying to rescue an electrocuted victim by touching the victim or making contact with the victim with a material that easily conducts electricity. The first step in saving someone being electrocuted is to try to remain calm and use NON-ELECTRICITY CONDUCTORS (i.e dry wood) to separate the victim from the power source.
Put Off All Power Source
If it is within your control, it is advised to put off all power supply in the surroundings and completely cut out power to avoid further damage. You can even go as far as removing your fuses and making sure the surrounding is completely off-grid.
Dry-Out The Surroundings
Water is a remarkably good conductor of electricity and it will be wise to clear all forms of moisture in the environment of an electrocution to avoid further damage. This is also a wise precaution to avoid electrocution as water and electric wires should never be in close proximity. Do NOT pour water on the electrocuted victim.
Immediately Call For Medical Care
There is only so much one can do with limited medical experience and that is why your next line of action should be to call an ambulance or the closest medical center. The medical team has the experience and equipment to manage the situation and your sole duty should be to make sure the victim is in the best possible condition to receive treatment from the medical team. This is why the first call be made after the event of an electrocution should be to the MEDICAL team and not the local electricity distribution company. The DisCo, however, has a role to play in making sure their equipment do not pose any safety hazard to its customers. It is also noteworthy that calling the medical team is still important even when the victim is conscious and appears unhurt. It is the duty of medical practitioner NOT the victim, to confirm the extent of physical or psychological damage an electrocution may cause.
Finally, Provide Helpful Information to the Medical Team Arriving At The Scene
Paramedics often work better with appropriate information, hence it is important to be calm in the middle of the chaos and make some relevant observations in the event of an electrocution and then carefully narrate these key observations to the medical team at the scene. Often times, electrocuted victims often suffer concussions to the head and other injuries as a result of the sudden collapse they experience after electrocutions. If you observed the event of an electrocution first hand, then appropriate information can help inform the paramedics on the right form of first-aid to be carried out. That piece of information might just be life-saving.

2013 promises to be a ground-breaking one, filled with exciting new technological developments that not only change the business world but will also begin to have a greater impact on everyone.
Here are ten emerging areas to look out for this year:
1. The Internet of Things
Whilst the Internet of Things is not a new concept to many of us, 2013 will together see major developments that will change the way that we live. The IoT merges the physical and digital worlds to bring the most up to date technology to our daily lives through the 'things' that we use. The developments will see big changes in both the business and social environments, enabling 'interaction' with objects or 'smart things' as they are commonly referred to. A smart thing is basically a physical object that has a tiny computer linking information about the object to the Internet. For example, it can inform a product supplier that a customer is running low on a particular type of stock. Expect to see some huge advances in this area.
2. Even smarter Smartphones
Over the last decade we have seen the capabilities and features of mobile devices grow to the extent you can use your mobile for practically anything. The Economist predicts that in 2013, the Internet will be predominantly accessed by mobile devices. From social interaction, to paying your parking charges, more and more of us are using mobile devices for simple transactions. Near Field Communication has been adopted by the likes of McDonalds and Starbucks - will the world follow? This year should see even more brands providing services for Smartphone users.
3. Cyber security
One of the main disadvantages of developments in the technology field, is the increasing threat of internet fraud and ever evolving scams. In October, TechRadar published some useful tips for preventing online fraud after reporting that a quarter of UK small businesses had been affected in the last year. Phishing scams are becoming more common and whilst people are more aware of these scams, the fraudsters are introducing more sophisticated techniques, such as cloning bank websites. There will be a huge investment this year in improving cyber security, with particular focus on protection against viruses and malware. If you would like more information on virus removal, SpecTronics UK can advise you on the best available options.
4. Personal Cloud
The ability to link our devices together is becoming increasingly important to consumers. We are more aware that synchronisation of phones, tablets and laptops makes a range of activities a lot simpler and saves time. Popular examples include the Google Apps for Business solution provided by SpecTronics UK.
5. Television transformation
The opportunities that Internet connection brings to television developments can be exploited to the maximum. iPlayer, Netflix and YouTube allow viewers to instantly view programmes, films and video footage from TVs with an integrated Internet connection. Many rivals are emerging with improved features.
6. Big Data Developments
Companies are looking for more efficient data management and an area that has been heavily focussed on is visualisation of data. Maintaining an on site server can seem like a great idea and is very flexible, but very expensive and less resilient than cloud solutions. Google Drive which is part of Google Apps is a great way to store, share and collaborate on company data with colleagues. Big data presents big problems, so expect 2013 to see a huge amount of research into solutions.
7. App Stores
There's an app for that' has progressed from being a marketing campaign to an everyday phrase for many. App development is one of the fastest growing technologies and it is estimated that by 2014 there will be over 70 billion mobile app downloads.
8. 3D Printing
Progress in the 3D printing world is expanding enabling quicker and cheaper manufacture of products, by using printers that can build layers using plastic or metal in most cases. Forbes recently revealed that 3D Printing is now helping NASA get to space. And I bet you didn't know that the Aston Martin DB5's blown up in James Bond's Skyfall were 3D printed?!
9. Visual Communications
With businesses looking increasingly to reduce costs, visual communications will be introduced more frequently as a means to connect remote workers. Existing software like Skype and FaceTime are commonly used, but further developments should save company resources by removing the need to travel, offering cheaper ways to communicate 'face to face' by virtual meetings and conferences. Over the last couple of months, SpecTronics has worked hard to introduce Video Conferencing functionality into our Hosted VoIP systems so that we can pass these benefits directly to our customers. All you need is a compatible handset and a broadband connection!
10. Actionable Analytics
In the marketing sector, analytics developments will see improved customer relationship building through more effective analysis of consumer behaviour. Google Analytics offers a free service that provides statistics for website owners, but more advanced techniques such as mouse tracking will become the norm. Be careful where you point that mouse!

TNG Does Whole 30, Week 1: Cravings, Crashes, and Commitment
If you caught Jamie's Midweek Mashup yesterday, she gave her reasoning for wanting to embark on the Whole 30 journey. My reasons are very similar - years of riding the sugar high/crash roller coaster and a tendency to binge eat in order to deal with stress or emotions. Today marks Day 8 of cutting out dairy, wheat, sugar, legumes, and preservatives in favor of fresh veggies, meat, fruit, nuts, and seeds. Here's how the first week of Whole 30 went for both of us:
As predicted by the book, I am on a determination high on Day One. Unlike in the past, I've prepared for this dietary change weeks in advance, and after 2 weeks of Mardi Gras revelry I'm more than ready to introduce some spartanism to my life. For breakfast, I bake an egg in an avocado and ate it with skillet potatoes. I eat a good deal of fruit, and a balanced dinner. I don't experience any noticeable cravings that day until the evening when I'd usually be having my beer and chunk of brie or carb-y treat. But it doesn't really bother me yet.
We started on Ash Wednesday, a day off work, so I spent my holiday roasting a huge pan of vegetables, sweet potatoes, and these amazing little egg cups that basically make my morning world worth waking up for. I also congratulate myself on how awesome I am.
Right on time, the Sugar Dragon awoke. Low-grade headache, fatigue, and cravings all day. I eat another avocado/egg/potato concoction for breakfast and a giant chef salad for dinner. Papaya is my go-to fruit to replace the late night snacking since it's so filling.
What's this? Seething, crop-burning hatred for all mankind? Fire-breathing vengeance I want to call down upon each of my enemies, AKA anyone who dares speak to me? Oh, this must be the Sugar Dragon, and she will eat your face. I can't break the late night snack habit and have dates with almond butter, basically dessert. It's amazing.
Like yesterday, but worse! And now along with the cravings and fatigue is a mental fuse so short you couldn't light a stick of incense with it. I'm anxious, irritable, and internally starting to panic staring down the barrel of 27 more days of this shit. I know that according to the timeline I'll start to feel better soon, but I wish someone could lock me in a padded room somewhere (ideally with a comfy bed!) until this phase is over so I'll stop snapping at innocent bystanders, a.k.a. my husband. We go to a concert that night and my body literally doesn't know what to do with itself at such an event if I can't nurse a gin and tonic the entire time, so I get a water and crunch the ice cubes.
My days are easy for me because they're structured. I have my egg cups already prepped for breakfast, Whole30-appropriate almond milk for my coffee, and I can quickly toss a bunch of Sunday's prepped veggies and meat into a bowl for my lunches and dinner. But this is the point that evening anxiety really starts to kick in for me. I text Nikki who talks me off the ledge. But now I understand that this is a regular thing, and I would normally soothe myself with ice cream or a brownie.
Headaches and the worst of the cravings are over, and now I'm just TIRED. I'm starting to develop a repertoire of Whole 30 recipes that I like, and we have slow cooker chili for dinner that's delicious and filling. Because I'm not able to distract myself with a zillion snacks at night after the kids go to bed, I'm actually getting writing done. The chronic bloating I've had for a while now has also gone down drastically. Frozen grapes are really yummy.
Hey, you know what's fun? Starting your period in the first week of a Whole30. So, now am I not only punch-your-face angry, I'm also exhausted, much like Nikki. Reaching for a cup feels like dragging my arm through water. Having to get my own laundry out of the dryer feels like I have to hoist the Pyramids 6 inches to the left my own damn self. I also eat 3 Lara bars in a row, and I'm not proud of this.
But this is the day after 2-3 months of really uncomfortable, puzzling constipation that I have a sorta normal poop. I'm so excited I post this Instagram - no shame, homies - and text everyone I know. Poop is important.
Still feeling tired, as evidenced by the fact that I could barely work the garden shovel after about ten minutes of digging. I'm thrilled that Marc and I's sudden obsession with eggs at breakfast has actually made Eleanor willing to try them again (she's notoriously picky), and she "looooooves eggs" now. I try to meal prep for the week by roasting a big batch of veggies, hard boiling some eggs, making a giant salad mix, and cooking a beef roast in the slow cooker. I've tried almost every Whole 30 compliant Larabar and have a newfound appreciation for cashews.
I'll be honest. I'm cruising through my days because I've prepped so well for lunches and dinners, but evenings are still a total struggle for me. Anxiety hits around 6 or 7, a tightness in my chest, a little bit of untethered worry, and I don't really know what to do with it except feed it. I'm still relying on almond butter and dates to get me through, but I also journal like a mofo and realize I'm fretting over something just below the surface of my consciousness.
I start to feel my energy and strength come back, which is good because it's my first day back at work since starting the program. I'm nervous about how I'll feel being around the usual temptations of snack machines, indulgent food within walking distance, and giant sheet cakes for birthdays in the teacher's lounge, but I navigate through the day with surprising ease. Desserts are starting to lose their strangle hold on my heart, and I'm genuinely enjoying the food I'm eating and cooking. I'm delighted with how much money I'm saving.
I name this day THE EVACUATION. Because that is what my body does. I end up in the bathroom 4 times before 10 a.m. and I am ecstatic about it. Again, I text everyone I know, including my grossed out husband who needs to get over it because everybody poops. Including me now.
On a roll. I can feel the unhealthy habits breaking down, like the late night snacking thing. The voice that shouts at me to do it is down to a whisper, and pretty easily silenced by half a papaya and a big glass of water. I'm starting to find non-food ways to reward myself and celebrate things: a bath, a favorite TV show, lighting incense. My meals for the week ran out way quicker than I realized, though, and I'll need to prep better for next week to avoid having nothing ready for dinner except beef jerky and fruit.
Still pooping. Still happy about it. FTW. Perpetual bloating has gone away, my HS is healing, and the cyst on my tailbone has reduced in size by half. I still have a couple of mystery rashes, but I'm not nauseous as often. Overall, I feel pretty great and can see a future in which I don't go back to eating gluten, which I know causes some of my issues.

This blog is no longer devoted exclusively to discussion of class bias in higher education although it is pervasive. But then, again, it is pervasive everywhere in the US. I've run out of gas on that. Not only that, I've lost some of my rile about my own law school. So I'm just winging it.

Behave for success: Part 2
It's not an official term but what I use to describe those with working class backgrounds who end up in the world of academics is "socioeconomic displacement." In other words, your parents did not go to college, you are the first in the family to do so and your natural career path might be middle management somewhere. Instead you end up is a strange world. The big advantage of the displacement is to observe the behavioral traits of those born to privilege and choose whether to imitate them. If you are willing to imitate, here are some sure fire tips some of which have appeared before in this blog.
1. Be careful not to overuse "please" and "thank you." These are words of weakness. They suggest you are asking for something to which you are not entitled or have received something that was not rightfully yours all along. So you write to a college and ask, "Could you explain the difference between Marx and Ted Koppel." When the careful answer comes back do not instantly write. "Thanks. That really helps!" No, say nothing or if you feel really pinned down when you see the person say "Thanks for your response." This does n0t mean that the response helped -- that would be too much to concede -- but gets you off the hook from expressing any sense of obligation.
2. If you do anything ever, no matter how greedy you were about it, remember to express it as "volunteering." You know. "I am volunteering to let you pick you the tab for lunch." Or, "I volunteered to fly to Paris for the law and fashion conference." Volunteering means someone owes you, not the other way around.
3. Never oppose the administration on behalf of someone other than yourself. A faithful employee gets fired, not your problem. The dean says he is giving his buddies a raise and asks you what you think. It looks good to you as long as you were not eligible for the same raise.
4. Take no position unless you have a great deal of company. This is important. There is no right, wrong, good or evil. It is all about protecting your options. Even if you teach professional responsibility, talk about ethics or attend church or temple. Lying, half-truths, nondisclosure are all permitting in service to yourself no matter how low the benefit to you or high the cost to someone else.
5. If you take a position, show that it does not matter that much. If you show passion or caring you show weakness.
6. Use information strategically. If you have information that someone else wants it is of value to you if only because someone else wants it. Even if it seems worthless to you, hang in there. Some one may ask you and instantly your importance increases.
7. If you are in a discussion and feel you are not convincing the other person, quickly pull out one of the old favorites -- incivility, bullying, offensive behavior. Forget the fact that overuse of these words minimizes real instances of cruelty and inequity.
You are on your way to being a true "professional."

I think you pretty much covered the bases on that one. However, I couple of things I might add that would help contextualize this. Relating to my earlier comment about networking, actual productivity and the like, one of the useful conceptual tools that I use to understand this type of behavior is that it is useful to think of this type of behavior as quasi economic "brand management". I say quasi because it is not really economic in the sense that people are making decisions based upon actual situations that involve cost benefit analysis, it is more that they are managing their own "personal brand" much like Lexus or Infinity manages their image as a luxury brand that is some how different from Toyota and Nissan (which incidentially are their parent companies). If you assume that people are doing this and then add in a heaping mound of passive aggressive behavior (obviously no important person would ever dear be direct about what they think) you end up with academics. For instance the habit of not replying to people immediately can be seen as individuals trying to create the image of aloofness and importance (being their own scarce luxury brand) since only unimportant people get back to right away (that is being available and cheap)...... Needless to say it is not particularly efficient from an organizational perspective and frequently boarders on comical.....

I am in academia and I am from a strong working class background. In fact, I would venture to guess that my identification is strong enough to make many people I work with a bit uncomfortable. That being said, while I agree with some of your list, I feel that a few of them would cost me my own personal integrity, something I am ot ready to do. For instance, I would not avoid standing up to someone who had been wronged. Nor would I be afraid to stand up for myself, even if I were the only one standing.
I know that sounds a bit pollyanna, but I really believe in principle and integrity.
Which I'm sure I will continue to have after I have lost my job. HA! I'm here all week!
But seriously, is it not more of an indication that we are unworthy of our positions if we adamantly refuse to take a principled stand for fear of losing our jobs? can only privileged people stand up for themselves or take unpopular stands?
I dunno; maybe you were just being comically cynical, in which case, ignore what I said...

Actually it was a tongue in cheek description of how elites behave and how non elites would have to behave to "pass."

Thanks for the comment.

This is an excellent thought provoking post.

Thank you for the advice. I think there's nothing wrong saying "Thank You" as a manner of appreciation but following your tips is not a bad idea at all. I guess it's time to be different than before and become strong and professional.

St. Luke's Hospital of Kansas City is recognized on U.S. News & World Report
Press Release • Aug 12, 2015 04:18 EDT
Overland Park, Kansas (mynewsdesk) August 11, 2015 - Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City has been recognized on U.S. News & World Report's Annual Best Hospital rankings for 2013-14. The hospital ranks #2 in Missouri, #2 in the Kansas City Metro area, and is recognized among the Best Hospitals in Northwestern Missouri. The hospital also ranks as high-performing in eight specialty areas including urology.
The urology department staff features three Kansas City Urology Care urologists:
- Mark S. Austenfeld, MD
- Brandon D. Pomeroy, MD
- Daniel G. Holmes, MD
"It's very gratifying to see Saint Luke's Hospital improve its standing in state rankings, and that so many high-performing specialty areas are recognized," said Melinda Estes, M.D., President and CEO of St. Luke's Health System.
U.S. News evaluates hospitals in 16 adult specialties. In most specialties, it ranks the nation's top 50 hospitals and recognizes other high-performing hospitals that provide care at nearly the level of their nationally ranked peers.
U.S. News publishes Best Hospitals to help guide patients who need a high level of care because they face a particularly difficult surgery, a challenging condition, or added risk because of other health problems or age. Objective measures such as patient survival and safety data, the adequacy of nurse staffing levels, and other data largely determined the rankings in most specialties.
The specialty rankings and data were produced for U.S. News & World Report by RTI International; a leading research organization based in Research Triangle Park, N.C. Using the same data, U.S. News & World Report produced the state and metro rankings.
The rankings have been published athttp://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals.

Robert Kirkman announced his first new title in three years at New York Comic Con: Oblivion Song. The title will be drawn by Lorenzo De Felici and focuses on a world dealing with a global supernatural tragedy. Oblivion Song differs from The Walking Dead as it doesn't deal with an apocalyptic collapse of society and won't take ten years to be adapted to television.
Ten years before the comic begins, 30-square miles of land from another dimension are suddenly transposed into an American city. With the "Transference" come hordes of gargantuan monsters and a strange fungus-like substance that eventually leads to some 20,000 people being murdered. In time, the city is able to reclaim some of its territory and drive most of the creatures behind a wall that separates them from the slice of interdimensional wasteland that lies beyond.
Oblivion Song is set to release March 7, 2018.
