This week, USM made a decision to prohibit its men's basketball team from participating in post-season competition. We'll talk with Lanny Mixon from Big Gold Nation about why this decision was made, particularly with the team sporting a 5-11 record. The coaching carousel is alive and well in Mississippi High School Football. We'll talk about who's going where and the impact it will have on the 2015 season. What an up and down week for Ole Miss and Mississippi State on the hardwood for both the women and men's teams.

Junk Drawers FEATURED....
Garage Sale coming soon ...
do you think people coming to our garage sale will pay me to haul off our junk if it is in pretty drawers ?
Found three boxes at the Wednesday 25¢ Sale at Finds Thrift ... not really a drawer, but they will work. Saved me making them! After I painted my mirror ... had paint left, so painted the drawers.
(Just had to add a knob ... funky and off to the side ... but cute !)
I wanted to do a sign like Angie at Knick of Time does, but that is a little bit complicated. Check out her signs ... love them and she sells some of them. I will learn how to do that too.
I had some just regular household clear contact paper, so that is what I used. It worked ...
I used both the positive and the negative parts of the stencil
Using just the individual letters; I dry-brushed white over them, letting the green show. The white letters were done with the stencil. Was able to use them a couple of times. The paper was pretty thin and flimsy, but the more paint I got on it the better it was. I was pretty happy with the results.
I think it made pretty cute Junk drawers. I was not too careful with the paint or the lettering, because ... they are what they are ... junk drawers.
? Would you buy one of my 'junk drawers' full of goodies ?

Nuvel Inc. does not distribute, sell, or rent any of the information collected about our website users or clients.
By using the Nuvel Inc. site and services, you indicate your agreement to the collection and use of your information by Nuvel Inc. as outlined in this privacy policy. Please note that this policy is subject to change and updates will be posted on this page when there has been a change, or a new service or product has been added to our offerings from time to time. We therefore encourage you to visit it periodically to review our practices and updates.
This policy applies to the collection, use, storage and disclosure of information by Nuvel Inc. It applies to www.nuvelinc.com , or to any site including "Nuvel" in its URL, and which includes a link to this privacy policy. The presence of Nuvel Inc. alone does not guarantee the applicability of this policy, as many of our clients run their own, wholly separate sites, and that have their own privacy policies.
Links to Other Sites
You will find various links on our sites and clients' sites, including but not limited to: Sponsored Listings, sundry banners, pops, interstitials, etc. The sites these all link to are owned and maintained by independent companies, over which Nuvel Inc. has no control, and who are not covered by this privacy policy. Nuvel Inc. is not responsible or liable for the content of these sites, or their collection of information and its use. If you have any concerns about your privacy at one of these sites, please review their sites' policies or contact them directly.
Cookies & Web Beacons
Cookies and web beacons are small files that are downloaded to your computer, and that allow Nuvel Inc. to collect aggregate statistical information. They are not in any way harmful to your computer, nor are they capable of personally identifying you. Rather, they are only capable of collecting anonymous information, and letting us know basic information about your visit.
COOKIES: A cookie is a small piece of data that is delivered to your computers' hard drive when you visit a site run by Nuvel Inc., or that includes advertisements or search results served by us on another site. No personal information is stored within the cookie. It is an anonymous piece of data that simply identifies your computers' IP address by assigning it a unique number. It does not identify you, personally, but rather it identifies your computer as a "unique user."
By identifying your computer as a unique user, cookies let us know when you return to our site, or when you view the same advertisement repeatedly. In doing so, we can use the cookie to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement, to avoid frustration. Nuvel Inc. can also use the information stored in the cookie to serve more relevant advertising to your computer. In a more general scope, cookies permit Nuvel Inc. to gauge the reach of an advertising campaign, the number of times an advertisement or search result is displayed, searched for or clicked on, how often a unique user visits our sites or partners' sites, and how they're interacting with them. Overall, cookies permit us to track user trends, preferences and patterns.
You can choose to accept or refuse cookies by changing the settings of your browser. Or, you can opt to be warned before a cookie is deposited on your computer.

If you delete cookies, you will not be recognized as a repeat visitor or viewer when returning to a site, or being exposed to advertisements.
WEB BEACONS: Web beacons, also known as web bugs or pixel tags are tiny 1×1 pixel GIFs (Graphical Interchange Format) or images that are placed on some of Nuvel Inc.'s website or client websites, but are so tiny that you can't see them. Their purpose is to help measure and analyze the usage patterns visitors have on their website, and the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns that brought them there. In essence, web beacons tell us that an event has occurred, for instance that something was clicked upon, submitted or purchased, but it conveys no real details about that event, nor does it provide any personally identifiable information about the user that initiated it.
Information Collected
By using any of Nuvel Inc. sites, or its clients' sites, you will be providing Nuvel Inc. with certain limited anonymous information, based on your activities. This information cannot be traced back to you, or matched up to personally identifying information in any way – it is completely anonymous, and will only be used in aggregate form with the information collected from other site visitors. Should you choose to correspond with, or participate in any of Nuvel Inc.' services or products, however, you will be asked to provide personally identifiable information, in order that we may respond, or do business with you. Please see below for more details on the kinds of anonymous and identifiable information Nuvel Inc. collects.
ANONYMOUS: When a user visits Nuvel Inc. or one of its search sites, they leave a "trail" of electronic information, which is collected and stored on our servers. This information, often referred to as traffic, or click-stream data is not personally identifiable nor is it possible to combine with any kind of identifiable information we may collect from you by other means (see Personally Identifiable Information, below). Rather, click-stream data consists of very limited and specific information about your computer, your browser, and its activities. For example: your computer's IP address, its operating system, the type and version of your browser, the date and time, the length of time spent on each page, search terms, results or advertisements clicked upon, and referral data.
This anonymous information is used to monitor our traffic and servers, as well as to screen for fraudulent behavior or abnormalities. It is also used to compile statistics and perform research by analyzing it in aggregate form, which in turn helps us to improve our services and offerings to both users of our sites and services.
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION: In certain limited circumstances, Nuvel Inc. may gain access to your personally identifiable information. This information is made available to Nuvel Inc. voluntarily, when a user or potential client specifically and knowingly provides it to us, in order to correspond with us, or to receive a service they've requested.
1. Correspondence: When a site user or potential client gives comments, questions, information requests, or feedback to Nuvel Inc. by phone, mail, or email (either directly or through one of our online forms) and includes an email address and/or contact information, Nuvel Inc. will use this information in order to respond. The contact information provided, however, is not stored in any kind of database. It is only maintained as a record of past correspondence, either in the responders' files or sent items in their email software.
2. Special Offers: When you participate in special offers, contests, or surveys, the collection of contact information is often required for registration, and for winner notification. In some instances, these are co-sponsored and so your information will be shared with that particular partner.
Please note, that some contests or services advertised on or through Nuvel Inc., by either search or graphic advertisers, may require personal contact information in order to enter or register. This information is not shared with Nuvel Inc., and these advertisers are not covered by this privacy policy (please see Links to Other Sites, above) although they may adhere to their own similar policies.
3. Registration/Application for Services: Potential clients who wish to subscribe to or use downloadable software trials or Web-based applications provided by Nuvel Inc. will be requested to provide personally identifiable or financial information in order to gain access to these programs. The collection of this information is part of regular business practices and is necessary in order to complete transactions and properly run and administer these services. Should anyone be uncomfortable providing this information to Nuvel Inc., they can choose not to participate.
Information collected during the registration or application processes, include but is not limited to: company name, name, email, physical address, and phone number. Overall, personally identifiable information of Nuvel Inc. clients is used for administrative needs, to maintain account information, and to process billing and payments.
Unsolicited Contact & Communication
Nuvel Inc. will not sell, rent, or disclose any of the contact information we have collected from you to third parties, except as described in this document (see Special Offers, above and Information Sharing, below).
We, however, may occasionally wish to communicate with our customers in order to provide them with information relevant to the services we provide or the management of their accounts. This might include newsletters or notices of new services or offers from Nuvel Inc. or selected partners that could be of interest. In addition, we will provide clients with their initial activation and welcome email, service and system updates, account and balance warnings and confirmation emails.
As part of our service, our Customer Service Department routinely communicates with members by phone or email to respond to questions or issues relating to their account, or to offer optimization services. We may also solicit some of our clients from time to time, either online or by email, to participate in client surveys. Participation in these surveys is voluntary, and the information collected provides Nuvel Inc. with valuable feedback on our services, which in turn, helps us to improve them.
Nuvel Inc. respects your right to unsubscribe from our company offers and newsletters at any time. To do so, please contact our Customer Service Department. Please note, that this does not include status or confirmation emails related to your account activity.
Information Sharing
Nuvel Inc. may share the information we gather from cookies, web beacons, survey respondents, etc., with advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other selected third parties. This sharing of information is done only in an aggregate form for statistical purposes.
Your personally identifiable information, submitted during your registration or application, is shared only with third party companies who provide Nuvel Inc. with administrative services required to conduct business with our clients and provide them with the services they have signed up for. Examples include: technical consultants; third-party credit card processing; credit checks; money transfers and auditing. Under no circumstances do these service partners or Nuvel Inc. disclose any of your personally identifiable information, unless we are obligated to do so by law (due to a court order, subpoena, etc), or to protect Nuvel Inc., our users, or the general public.
Any data collected and stored on Nuvel Inc.' servers is considered proprietary and confidential, and is not available to the public. We have security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of user and customer data under our control.

By Oladimeji Loko in Rio:
Former IAAF World Junior 200m silver medallist Divine Oduduru has been drawn to run in the same heat as reigning world and Olympic 200m champion Usain Bolt of Jamaica as the half lap event takes centre stage in Rio, Brazil on Tuesday.
Oduduru, who declared the intimidating status of the Jamaican does not scare him, will have the chance to live up to his reckless outburst as he lines out in lane eight of the ninth heat of the 200m event at 4.46pm Nigerian time.
Bolt will run from lane five and will be the favourite to clinch one of the three automatic tickets for the semi-final.
Also listed to run in the same heat as the Nigerian are Sudan's Ahmed Ali who has run 20.16 this year, Japan's Kei Takase who holds a personal season's best of 20.31 seconds, Belgium's Jonathan Borlee and Norway's Jaysuma Saidy Ndure who has run 20.43 seconds this year.
Oduduru holds a personal season's best of 20.47 seconds and will need to run faster than that to ensure qualification for the semis.
Also billed to run in the 200m event is Tega Odele who made his first major international bow last year at the IAAF Worlds in Beijing.
Odele, with a 21.04 personal season's best, is drawn in lane one of the third heat and looks set to end his Olympic ambition early.
Also making a bow today is Ese Brume who will compete in the long jump event.
The African and Commonwealth long jump queen who holds a personal season's best of 6.83m achieved last June in Akure at the finals of the Athletic Federation of Nigeria Golden League only needs to jump 6.75m to ensure her passage to Wednesday's final.
Junior international Amusan Tobiloba will also be in action today.The University of Texas in El Paso sprint hurdler has been drawn in lane six of the fifth heat of the 100m hurdles which starts at 3.33pm.
If the young Nigerian finds the form that earned her a 12.83 seconds personal best in April, she will be among the three automatic qualifiers for the semi-finals which takes place on Wednesday.

A new look in the newsroom
As of Tuesday, the night desk looks like this:
The first image was after some initial dismantling, though parts of the unit had been dismantling on their own. General Manager Brian McCloskey located some unused desks in the building and configured an arrangement that provides all of us more drawers and more space to work in. We still have some unpacking to do, but I imagine we'll all settle in pretty quickly to our new digs.

This weekend I am getting a taste of nearly full-time caregiving. My findings are not uplifting. Alzheimer's is a cruel disease for both patients and caregivers, and the devastation is wearing on me.
What is no less wearing is the current political situation. Omi and I have experienced quite a few interruptions to our daytime programming in the last few days. Whether it's a local update on the fire in West, Texas, or a national bulletin about poisoned mail or a report on the gun control decision or a broadcast of the interfaith service for the Boston victims, the news is no less painful than the situation in my aunt's house.
What is this chaos? What is this fear and anxiety? What is this violence? I think the world is ending, and my greatest concern is whether I will get to hug my best friend again. I don't pause for a second to ask what I can do or how I can care; I am too concerned with keeping my Omi in Sprite and ice cream for the day. Not that my burden is undone by the turmoil in the world, but my perspective can be greatly skewed at times.
Today I discovered the picture of 8-year-old victim Martin Richard, a hero in his own right. The image inspired me: "No more hurting people…peace." He was a little boy, whose greatest care should have been what flavor of Capri Sun was in his lunch, yet he was more touched by what happened to Trayvon Martin than I was–I who am tasked with feeling and shaping the current world, I who am supposed to be part of an emerging leadership.
Today, my Manifaustin is to be engaged, through my attention, and care, and prayers. And I can be engaged through my example. I cannot change these problems. But I can take Martin Richard's words to heart: "No more hurting people." He died at the hands of that lie, for people will continue to hurt people as long as humanity continues. But he is a hero if one person sees his example and turns toward peace.

Good evening and pleasant Sunday! Here's a page I created for the new 7 Dots Studio challenge. This time the theme is "Nature". The rules are simple like every month: create a project inspired by the theme, use at least one 7 Dots Studio product and share you link. You also need to remember to share the inspirational circle in your post!
Sweet Marsha sent me some time ago a parcel which had these flower seeds in it. The seeds were mixed in paper mache and the result was die cut into small flowers. My daughters were so excited when they saw them and when we visited grandparents during spring we took the seeds along and planted them in a pot on the playhouse's porch. They loved watching them grow and bloom during the summer vacation they spent there while my husband and me were working.
I tried to use natural details on the page as well adding some burlap and a flair with a birch pattern in there. I also kept the color scheme otherwise quite soft and natural but added some pink.
Thank you for your visit! Wishing you a lovely start to the new week!

India vs Australia: The Turning Points
After a depressing Test series against England, Team India began the four Test series against Australia on a winning note.
Bikash Mohapatra, who covered the first Test at the M A Chidambaram stadium in Chennai, identifies the turning points in the game.
To say the Aussies were simply overwhelmed in the Chennai Test would be an understatement.
Let's take a look at the major turning points in the match, which swung the game in India's favour.
The Dharamasena Factor
Despite skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni losing the toss, India got off to a steady start.
Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who was a disappointment in the series against England, ran through the Australian top order and had a five-wicket haul, his sixth in Test cricket.
If the local boy's opening spell figures (11-2-30-2) made for an impressive read, his second (9-2-19-3) was even better.
Another Michael Clarke masterclass innings helped Australia avoid total collapse, the Australian captain remaining unbeaten on 103.
It was Clarke's 23rd Test hundred, his sixth against India, and continued his recent run of good form as well as his impressive record against India.
'Pup,' as Clarke is nicknamed, made his debut in Bangalore in 2004 with an impressive 151, and scored 600-plus runs when India toured Down Under the last time, including a triple hundred.
But 'Pup' had a huge reprieve when he was on 39, when umpire Kumar Dharmasena ruled him not out though he had clearly hit the ball off Ashwin.
Had the Sri Lankan former Test cricketer got it right, Australia would have looked disaster in the face.

Why was Pattinson under-bowled?
James Pattinson was the lone Australian bowler to impress in Chennai.
The 22-year-old picked up six wickets in the Test including a fiver in the first innings.
When India came out to bat on Day Two, Pattinson ensured Australia a good start with the ball, removing both Murali Vijay and Virender Sehwag early.
The Victorian, bowling with great pace, picked up all three Indian wickets to fall in the day.
To everyone's surprise, the quick bowled only two three-over spells during the day.
India reached 182 for three at close, Sachin Tendulkar, Chetan Pujara and Virat Kohli having negotiated the other Australian bowlers fairly comfortably.
Pattinson, who made an impressive debut against New Zealand in October 2011 -- taking 14 wickets in two Tests -- has featured in just eight Tests so far, sitting out an equal number of games because of recurring injuries.
When India toured Down Under in 2011-2012, Pattinson picked up 11 wickets before injury ruled him out of the last two Tests.
Michael Clarke, aware of his lead bowler's fragility, preferred to use him in short spells.
The decision certainly didn't help the Australian cause.

Dhoni swung it in India's favour
Mahendra Singh Dhoni was under increasing pressure coming into the Chennai Test.
The captain took the blame for India suffering a rare home reverse against England, coming in the wake of 4-0 back-to-back drubbings against both England and Australia in those countries.
As a batsman, he had not scored a Test hundred in 15 months. His poor form and the team's poor show led many to question Dhoni's place in the team.
His knock was a triple milestone: It was his first double hundred; it was his first Test hundred since the 144 against West the Indies at the Wankhede stadium in November 2011; it was his first century against Australia, a team against which he had always struggled.
Dhoni's knock helped India pulverise Australia. At stumps on Day 3, thanks to MS' unbeaten 206, there was no way his team was going to lose.

Clarke's dismissal ended Australian hopes
The turning point on Day 4 has got to be Michael Clarke's dismissal.
Australia had conceded a large first innings lead (192 runs) and had gotten off to a poor start in the second innings.
As long as Captain Clarke -- who had made a defiant 130 in the first innings -- was there, the Aussies knew they could save the Test.
Clarke's strokes were fluent; he had hit 31, with four boundaries and a huge six off Ashwin, when the off-spinner turned one sharply in.
It was the third ball of the final session. Clarke was plumb leg before.
Triumph was sighted on the Indian horizon.

India won. What else?
Moises Henriques -- who made an impressive debut -- and Nathan Lyon delayed the inevitable.
But Murali Vijay had another disapppointing outing as did Virender Sehwag.
Day Five should have been a formality. There was no reason India needed to lose the openers chasing a very modest score.
The way Vijay and Sehwag played could well mark a turning point in both men's careers as the selectors decide the team's composition for the second Test at Hyderabad.

A Family is Coming
The St Alban's Refugee Fund is delighted to share the details of the refugee family. A family of six is set to arrive in a couple of weeks.
The couple we are welcoming into our community is a father (29) and a mother (28) and their four children. Two boys ages 6 and 1 and two girls ages 4 and 1 possibly twins for the two younger ones. They are from Syria and are currently residing in Jordan.
This is an exciting time for the perish and the community. A heartfelt thanks to all involved with this initiative within the parish and the community. Without the warm hearts and commitment we would not have been able to move the family here so quickly.
As mentioned in today's sermon: We have not allowed negativity in our hearts despite all of the negativity that prevails in others and social media. We are following in the footsteps of Jesus. Jesus loved everyone of every descent!

Scrappy Star, A Charity Quilt
After I finished sewing my RSC blocks, I pulled the fabrics needed to finish this top. She is quilted,measures 43" square and is ready for donation. She will be going to a local charity in my area.
Sarah, from Confessions of a Fabric Addict, is organizing Hands2Help, a Charity Quilt Challenge. She has organized this charity drive for several years. If you are interested, check out her post.
If you aren't interested in Sarah's challenge but have quilt tops to give away, you might want to send them to Jo Kramer. You send her the tops and she'll quilt them for charity. Click here for the details.
With the finish of this little quilt, mom's purple box is empty. What few pieces were left have been cut into 5" squares. I did add some of my fabrics to the mix.

Beautiful finish! Thank you also for sharing all the charity and quilting links :)!ReplyDelete
It turned out beautifully Gretchen! Such a lovely mix of prints - someone's in for a real treat :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks. It is brighter in real life than the photo shows.Delete
How nice that someone will quilt the tops for charity. We do local through the guild. This year we have sent out over 45 quilts.ReplyDeleteReplies
I like to donate my charity quilts local also. There are so many organizations needing quilts.Delete
Great quilt! Thanks for linking up :)ReplyDelete
A beautiful finish! Congrats on using up all the purple scraps, that's an achievement all it's own.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I feel good about that purple box being emptied. Now, it's onto the browns box. She really like brown. I have 2 banana boxes full of those fabrics. I don't know if brown will be ok for children's quilts or not.Delete
I love this use of scraps. What a fun quilt! Great email@example.com
Thank you. It was a very easy top to piece and it works up into a nice size for a crib quilt.Delete
I love this scrappy star. Did you use charms for the center blocks?ReplyDeleteReplies
I cut unused fabrics into 5" squares and strips. These were all squares from my stash.Delete
It always feels so good to in our stash and use some of it up doesn't it! And then to get a beautiful donation quilt-warm fuzzies!ReplyDeleteReplies
I think I was just as excited to use the fabric from my stash as I was for the quilt finish! It will keep a small child nice and cozy.Delete
Very pretty, I'm sure whomever receives it will love it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, I hope too it will be well loved.Delete
That is a sweet little charity quilt. Some little one will love the comfort and warmth it brings. Our tiny quilt ministry group makes baby quilts for a regional pregnancy center and we've just begun making lap quilts for a local nursing home in addition to those comfort quilts made for members and family/friends within our church family. There are so many needs right here in our area that we don't have the time/resources to reach beyond. It is wonderful that some of the larger guilds have the capacity to do that.ReplyDelete
I just love scrappies and yours is lovely.ReplyDelete

There's never been a better time
to apply to Otterbein University.
Apply online today!
Student research is often published in professional journals and presented at off-campus meetings such as the Central Ohio Undergraduate Research Symposium, the Argonne Symposium for Undergraduate Research in Science and Mathematics, and the American Chemical Society.
You also have opportunities to participate in the research projects listed below. You can also learn about funding and additional research opportunities on the Research at Otterbein site.
Dr. Joan Esson is researching the development and application of electrochemical and optical sensors for clinically and environmentally important polyions, which are large, highly charged ions, and their use to examine chemicals that bind to them. Current studies involve the characterization of the binding between low molecular weight heparin (LWMH), a commonly used anticoagulant drug, and synthetic foldamers being investigated as potential antidotes for LMWH. Additional studies involve the development of sensors for suramin, a drug used to treat human sleeping sickness and being explored as a possible anti-cancer agent, and exploration of alternative ion-exchangers for use in ion-selective electrodes.
Dr. John Tansey is conducting research focusing on the role that lipid droplet proteins (the PAT proteins) play in the metabolism of stored lipids. Nearly all cells store lipids (fats and cholesterol) for future use. We are currently investigating the function that the most recently discovered PAT protein (OXPAT) plays both on the lipid droplet and in the cytosol. This research has implications in the etiology of obesity, heart disease, and type II diabetes mellitus.
Dr. Carrigan Hayes' research involves the application of computational and physical organic chemistry techniques to the areas of biological, synthetic, and combustion chemistry. Her previous work has focused on understanding the behavior of radical species involved in hydrocarbon and alternative fuel combustion. Two new potential projects involve developing radical clock reactions for use in organic synthesis and exploring glycoconjugate interactions with implications for key biological processes.
Dr. Dean Johnston is focusing on preparing and analyzing new metal-halide clusters. These compounds have fascinating electrochemical and photochemical properties. We are currently investigating a series of compounds that exhibit unusually high emission intensities using a combination of luminescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Some potential applications of these materials include use in organic light-emitting devices (OLED's) and for the detection of oxygen via photochemical quenching of the excited state.
Dr. Robin Grote's research focuses on the development of synthetic organic reactions, specifically the synthesis of heterocycles. These compounds are of interest due to the wide array of biological activity they can possess. Heterocycles are found in many of our pharmaceuticals and insecticides and can be synthesized by cyclodehydrating reactions. However, these reactions can be low yielding and utilize harsh or costly reagents. The Grote lab seeks to develop practical and predictable ways of synthesizing highly useful heterocyclic compounds.

The Ethanol Promotion and Information Council has developed a new online course to teach the technical side of ethanol. The course will help to provide an understanding of ethanol fuel and how it affects engine performance and the environment.
"Today's consumers ask their mechanics for advice related to the use of fuels in their cars," says Reece Nanfito, senior director of EPIC's senior director of marketing. "So, the ethanol industry wants to make sure those mechanics have the right information to answer those questions adequately."
The site is designed to benefit both technicians and customers.
"It's intended for auto service technicians and other people interested in ethanol as it performs in engines," says Nanfito. "It is an interactive course that goes through the benefits of ethanol and then goes through in great detail how ethanol performs in engines."
Dan Schwartzkopf, general manager of Renova Energy and a race car driver, says anyone interested in learning about ethanol can gain from the course. "If your interest is just knowing what ethanol is, then it's going to tell you a story. If your interest takes you into wanting to know the details of the working of a motor and the fuel together, it's going to take you to that level. So, it's an A to Z program."
The course can be found at www.drivingethanol.org.

Ramesh, aged 35, is a software professional who lives with his wife, Geeta, a homemaker and a lovely 5 year old daughter, Renuka.
Ramesh's family recently moved into their own house. They are delighted that their long cherished dream has finally become a reality. However, Ramesh has to pay a considerable home loan EMI and is worried about the repayment of such a large loan in case of an eventuality, given that his wife and young daughter are financially dependent on him. Also, he is concerned about how to take care of their other financial needs, if he is not around.
He shares his concerns with his friend, Sumit, who suggests that he should take a life insurance cover from Reliance Nippon Life Insurance Company. Ramesh opts for Reliance Nippon Life Term Plan. He covers himself in following three easy steps:
Step 1: He selects the Insurance Cover (Sum Assured) and gets a quote from our representative
Step 2: He fills up the application form along with his personal and health details, and submits it along with a cheque for the premium payable
Step 3: Subsequently, required medical tests are conducted
Based on his application, the policy gets issued with the applicable life cover. Ramesh is now relieved as he has adequately secured himself against unforeseen events.
3 years later: Ramesh meets with an unfortunate accident and passes away. It takes his wife, Geeta, some time to come to terms with the reality that Ramesh is no longer around and she alone has to take care of their daughter, Renuka. Geeta approaches the nearest branch of Reliance Nippon Life Insurance with Ramesh's Policy Document.
The branch's customer care executive helps her in completing the necessary claim forms, gives her the acknowledgement immediately, and forwards the documents to the Claims Department.
Geeta is worried about how she will provide for her family's needs and Renuka's education expenses. However, within a few days, the claim amount cheque of Ramesh's term policy from Reliance Life Insurance is delivered to Geeta at her home.
She is overwhelmed with relief. While her emotional gap can never be filled, she can now provide for Renuka's education and marriage, as planned with Ramesh.

From About.com atheist (Austin Cline). I read this on my RSS reader. Cline is not mentioned much in "free thought literature" but is a consistent atheist voice on about.com.
What he says here is also seen frequently on other websites, such as Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters, and Joe.my.god. Which is, some highly outspoken American evangelical groups are celebrating antigay scapegoating efforts in some African countries. Including Uganda, where the govt. has been teasing the world with on-again-off-again promises of legislation to round up gays, and their supporters, and suspected gays, and suspected supporters, and imprison them and execute gays (see link- much more detail).
Huffington Post also has a provocatively titled, "Who's helping finance Uganda's Kill The Gay's Bill? You are", worth reading. The conclusion is "Like it or not, every American taxpayer is funding the "kill the g..."
Hatemongers get press in the US, as "legitimate" voices in "conservative" American Politics. Example is Tony Perkins, of the Hate Group "Family Research Council", who had many appearances on US networks. mediamatters. org The press should juxtapose images of Perkins, Maggie Gallagher, Scott Lively, Michelle Bachman, Brian Brown, Bryan FIscher, with images of gay Iranian teenagers hung in a public square. Since that's what they want for Africa and probably, the US. These people are seething with hate.
One thing the politicians and right wing christian hate mongers seem to miss: the "god will punish you for supporting sodomy" aspect. Ummm.... Uganda doesn't exactly have the world's best economy. It's a disease ridden, poverty stricken backwater. Is god rewarding them for their oppression of "perverts"? While the economy in the US is, even if we've had hard time, is far and above that of much of the world, ,especially the oppressive regimes.
The US has given Uganda1.8 billion in the past 4 years.
I can't read too much of the Uganda and other African nation reports about oppressing, harassing, beating, arresting, and potentially executing gays. It's like watching a train wreck with hands over my face, peeking between fingers. Same with the Muslim world's same behaviors. The images of the Iranian teenagers hung in a public square still haunt me. Not linking to that. Knowing that these abuses are promoted by extremist American Christians, and in some ways by the US Government, is a very hard pill to swallow.

Hatemongers is the correct term.
Just terrible that some people believe that stuff.
I would point out that Uganda seems only to be a test case. Bear in mind, our love-the-sinner, hate-the-sin Evangelicals will do the same thing here first chance they get.
Note the GOP rank-and-file seems to believe ACORN stole the election for Obama, even though its affairs were wound up in bankruptcy some years ago. Such people would be very easy to lead to a theocratic nightmare, similar to "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis.
I fear for my country. Me, not so much or I'd never served in the military as long as I did. But for those who don't see what real persecution is, coming at them like a Mack truck. (Love that cliche.) Or maybe a hay baler.
I still do not understand why my sister, a gaily-married female in California, is so supportive of such an odious religion as Christianity.
Actually, I do. Rev. Fred Phelps is more intellectually honest about his faith than my sister. She suffers the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy (cherry pick the good stuff, ignore the rest).
"Love the ignorant bigot, hate the ignorant bigotry."
That one is PRECIOUS, Pat, a total keeper!

Sydney decided that this Gobisaurus was named Burger, and that seemed fine with me.
Once we got started on Gobisaurus, I sent Sydney a pile of photos of both Gobisaurus and its close relative Shamosaurus, and some of my own very rough sketches of what the osteoderms might have looked like. Gobisaurus isn't completely known, so we're guessing a bit on the osteoderm arrangement in the final version and using Shamosaurus for the cervical armour. Here are the earliest sketches Sydney sent me - so many great poses and personality. Also, here's a Sydney in her natural habitat (thanks John Acorn for the photo!).
One of the things I really like about your art is that it's obvious you are very familiar with animal anatomy and behaviour – your dinosaurs have real animal personalities. Can you tell us about some of your inspirations for your palaeoart?
The best inspiration any artist can have when reconstructing extinct animals are...living animals! In most cases that's the best if not the only source of reference we have, at least when it comes to external appearances. Depending on what type of fossil I'm drawing, I'll try to find an extant analogue/s that may share some characteristics, like habitat and environment, diet, colour scheme, etc. For colour in particular I often mix and modify schemes from two or more animals, all the while keeping the fossil's apparent paleobiology and habitat in mind. I'll peruse images of modern animals on the web to get an idea of the posture and stance I want the fossil animal to be in, as well as the lighting and angle. A lot of a creature's emotion comes from the face, so I really like to focus on eyes. Getting the shape, depth, colour, and light just so can make a huge difference in terms of giving a drawing personality. It also isn't a bad idea to look at other artist's work, obviously not to copy directly, but you might get ideas for new methods or techniques that you can adopt and fit into your own style.
Mr Iridescent - a beautiful take on Microraptor. So shiny and chrome.
This reminds me, I think you said the Ziapelta reconstruction you did for our paper was inspired by a photo of a bird that you took! And that in turn reminds me that you are also a pretty great bird photographer - do you find that you get a better sense for conveying personality and movement in your dinosaurs by observing birds in the wild yourself?
So I did! The proudest grackle ever!
I can see the family resemblence! Also, when I found out the Gobisaurus was named Burger, I asked if the Ziapelta had a name. Naturally, it was Hot Dog.
And definitely, seeing any animal in their habitat first hand can create a narrative in your mind that you can translate to paper. Birds are great to watch because a lot of the time they're always on the move and engaging in a variety of behaviours that are both interesting and fun to watch, as well as perfect fodder for a dinosaur reconstruction.
You are also working on a Masters with Phil Currie at the University of Alberta! Would you like to tell us about what you're working on?
The thought of Mesozoic birds with bonafide teeth has really interested me for a while, so the plan is to explore the evolution of tooth loss in birds by comparing the implantation and replacement rates of small theropod (like dromaeosaurids and troodontids) and bird teeth. Looking into the anatomy of the jaw and the inner structures of the teeth of these closely related groups will hopefully yield some informative results. It's not easy because the stuff I need is comparatively rare and pretty darn tiny! I'm working entirely with Alberta material at the moment, and doing so has led me in other directions in terms of understanding the province's Cretaceous avian fauna, which is most represented in terms of numbers by, you guessed it, teeth!
Pygostylia Panoply: at the bottom, the toothy Early Cretaceous enantiornthine Rapaxavis, and up top, the duck-like (and toothless) Presbyornis.
Do you have a favourite taxon to illustrate?
Birds and feathered theropods are definitely up there.The more I do ankylosaurs though the more I enjoy drawing them. [YES FOLKS, YOU HEARD IT HERE: ANKYLOSAURS > THEROPODS.] They're so unique compared to anything else around today! I also enjoy doing mammals as well, like ungulates and carnivores (fossil or modern) and primitive examples from the Mesozoic.
I am but a young'un: a perfectly floofular dromaeosaur chick.
What medium/media do you like to work in?
I stick almost exclusively to traditional media; mainly pencil work, both black and white and colour, although I occasionally work in acrylic or watercolour. I prefer to work with fine tooth paper so I can vary my pencil strokes, blend more easily, and just have an overall smoother surface to work on. Coloured paper is also really fun to work with, like blue or black, because it makes drawing ocean scenes with pencil pretty simple. I've also dabbled in digital art via photoshop, but most of the time I only use it to fix mistakes and touch up scanned pencil drawings. In my case I find I have much more control with pencil and paper, and the results seem to be a bit more realistic, at least to my eyes.
Ichthyornis dispar: a classic fossil bird, brought to life!
Do you have any advice for other people who are interested in creating their own palaeoart? Any common pitfalls to avoid, or things to think about when they are recreating an extinct animal?
I think one of the most important aspects of reconstruction is attention to detail, such as the dot of light and reflections in an eye, or the wind disturbing and ruffling fur or feathers, or the bulge of a muscle as a limb is flexed, or the crumpling of skin as it moves in a certain direction or shifts under the weight of the animal. Light, movement, and substance. Those kinds of little and almost unnoticeable features can take a simple reconstruction of a fossil to something that feels tangible and alive. In terms of pitfalls to avoid, I would say there isn't too much to worry about if you're just playing around and having fun, because hey, it's just art! That being said, if you're going for a publishable, as-accurate-as-possible, realistic style of depiction, then it's a good idea to become familiar with your subject, especially anatomy. If you can read up and get as close as possible to the original source material, like scientific papers, then you're that much closer to getting your skeletal anatomy down pat. Knowing some anatomy of modern animals is extremely helpful as well, as it informs how muscle and skin attaches to the bone and changes the outline of the body.

Hear from some of our clients:
Worth the cost I've been going to Kathryn for years (along with my 2 sisters and mom). We keep going back to her because she does such an excellent job! Of course it's pricier than your run of the mill hair-chop shop – but it's always worth the money because you come out looking and feeling fabulous. Kathry is so great with color and cuts. She's also done both my sister's hair for their weddings and I'm going to have her do mine next August. The front desk personnel are always friendly and helpful, too!
I got my hair back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I always receive excellent service, and would recommend anyone to come here for service. what was really great for me is I went through breast cancer got may hair back, and Paris worked with me in shaping my hair and helping me grow my hair back to my long length, that I missed and love so much. Thanks Paris
I think Nora was wonderful, we, my husband and I trust her completely Whenever anyone asks were a good place to go get their hair cut , I always suggest Nora
As always Greg does and fantastic job and I really look forward to my time with him and the entire experience is so pampering!
The Best! My haircuts and colors are consistently amazing at Vici which is why I keep coming back!
I absolutely LOVE Erica! She is very talented and always makes me look 100% better when I leave! She really listens, offers valuable advice, and simply does an excellent job! My children have also been very pleased with her work.
My haircut was excellent, as usual. The only thing that I would change is your notification procedure. I was notified by phone, email, and text. One method of notification would have been enough. Thanks!
Hair cut and eyebrow wax—I thought Leah (I'm pretty sure I'm spelling her name wrong) was great! I love my cut and she was easy to talk to. Stephanie also did a great job with my eyebrows.
I'm always happy with my hair appointments. Paris is the best!
Always satisfied—I am always very satisfied withy experience at vici. Always reccommend you to my friends!

In praise of ambivalence—"young" feminism, gender identity, and free speech
By Brian D. Earp (@briandavidearp)
* Note: this article was first published online at Quillette magazine.
Alice Dreger, the historian of science, sex researcher, activist, and author of a much-discussed book of last year, has recently called attention to the loss of ambivalence as an acceptable attitude in contemporary politics and beyond. "Once upon a time," she writes, "we were allowed to feel ambivalent about people. We were allowed to say, 'I like what they did here, but that bit over there doesn't thrill me so much.' Those days are gone. Today the rule is that if someone—a scientist, a writer, a broadcaster, a politician—does one thing we don't like, they're dead to us."
I'm going to suggest that this development leads to another kind of loss: the loss of our ability to work together, or better, learn from each other, despite intense disagreement over certain issues. Whether it's because our opponent hails from a different political party, or voted differently on a key referendum, or thinks about economics or gun control or immigration or social values—or whatever—in a way we struggle to comprehend, our collective habit of shouting at each other with fingers stuffed in our ears has reached a breaking point.
It's time to bring ambivalence back. Continue reading
Video Series: Tom Douglas on Asbestos, a Serious Public Health Threat
Asbestos kills more people per year than excessive sun exposure, yet it receives much less attention. Tom Douglas (Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics) explains why asbestos is still a serious public health threat and what steps should be undertaken to reduce this threat. And yes, the snow in The Wizard of Oz was asbestos!
Alcohol, pregnancy, experts, and evidence
The unbearable asymmetry of bullshit
By Brian D. Earp (@briandavidearp)
* Note: this article was first published online at Quillette magazine. The official version is forthcoming in the HealthWatch Newsletter; see http://www.healthwatch-uk.org/.
Science and medicine have done a lot for the world. Diseases have been eradicated, rockets have been sent to the moon, and convincing, causal explanations have been given for a whole range of formerly inscrutable phenomena. Notwithstanding recent concerns about sloppy research, small sample sizes, and challenges in replicating major findings—concerns I share and which I have written about at length — I still believe that the scientific method is the best available tool for getting at empirical truth. Or to put it a slightly different way (if I may paraphrase Winston Churchill's famous remark about democracy): it is perhaps the worst tool, except for all the rest.
Scientists are people too
In other words, science is flawed. And scientists are people too. While it is true that most scientists — at least the ones I know and work with — are hell-bent on getting things right, they are not therefore immune from human foibles. If they want to keep their jobs, at least, they must contend with a perverse "publish or perish" incentive structure that tends to reward flashy findings and high-volume "productivity" over painstaking, reliable research. On top of that, they have reputations to defend, egos to protect, and grants to pursue. They get tired. They get overwhelmed. They don't always check their references, or even read what they cite. They have cognitive and emotional limitations, not to mention biases, like everyone else.
At the same time, as the psychologist Gary Marcus has recently put it, "it is facile to dismiss science itself. The most careful scientists, and the best science journalists, realize that all science is provisional. There will always be things that we haven't figured out yet, and even some that we get wrong." But science is not just about conclusions, he argues, which are occasionally (or even frequently) incorrect. Instead, "It's about a methodology for investigation, which includes, at its core, a relentless drive towards questioning that which came before." You can both "love science," he concludes, "and question it."
I agree with Marcus. In fact, I agree with him so much that I would like to go a step further: if you love science, you had better question it, and question it well, so it can live up to its potential.
And it is with that in mind that I bring up the subject of bullshit.

Asbestos neglect
Written by Tom Douglas
This is an unedited version of an article originally published by The Conversation
'Calais Jungle Camp littered with asbestos', 'Buckingham Palace could be vacated to remove asbestos', 'Safety concerns for refugees and workers as Nauru asbestos removal program kicks off'.
Headlines such as these occur with monotonous regularity. Widespread asbestos use throughout much of the 20th century has ensured that the next contamination scandal is never far off, and asbestos-related legal decisions and personal tragedies often make the news as well. But despite the ongoing media attention, asbestos has not captured the public imagination as a public health threat, at least, not in comparison to other comparable threats like excessive sun exposure and drink driving.
Asbestos is a versatile fibrous mineral that can be cheaply mined and has unusual fire resistance and durability. Its use exploded in the twentieth century, when it was included in such diverse products as automobile brake linings, pipe insulation, ceiling and floor tiles, textured paints, concrete, mattresses, electric blankets, heaters, ironing boards and even piano felts. There is no safe threshold for exposure to asbestos dust, with even single exposures having been linked to cancer. Rates of asbestos-related cancer have recently been on the rise in Europe and Japan and look set to climb in many developing countries where asbestos is still being widely used, often without safety precautions. According to WHO estimates, asbestos now causes more deaths globally than excessive sun exposure. In the UK it is estimated to cause almost three times as many deaths as road traffic accidents.
Guest Post: JABBING, PLAYING, AND PAYING – HIGH SEASON ON ANTI-VAXXERS
Christopher Chew
Monash University
In the strange, upside-down world of the Southern Hemisphere, cold and gloomy Winter is quietly slinking away, and raucous Spring in all his glory begins to stir. Ah, Spring! The season of buds and blooms and frolicking wildlife. One rare species of wildlife, however, finds itself subject to an open hunting season this Spring – the anti-vaxxer.
In April this year, the Australian Federal Government announced a so-called "no jab, no pay" policy. Families whose children are not fully vaccinated will now lose subsidies and rebates for childcare worth up to almost AUD$20,000 per child, except if there are valid medical reasons (e.g. allergies). Previously, exemptions had been made for conscientious and religious objectors, but these no longer apply forthwith.
Taking things a step further, the Victorian State Government earlier this week announced an additional "no jab, no play" policy. Children who are not fully vaccinated, except once again for valid medical reasons, will additionally now be barred from preschool facilities such as childcare and kindergartens.
I should, at this point, declare my allegiances – as a finishing medical student, I am utterly convinced by the body of scientific evidence supporting the benefits of childhood vaccination. I am confident that these vaccines, while posing a very, very small risk of severe side-effects like any other medicine, reliably prevent or markedly reduce the risk of contracting equally severe diseases. And finally, I believe that the goal of universal childhood vaccination is one worth pursuing, and is immensely beneficial to public health.
Despite my convictions, however, I still find myself wondering if the increasingly strict vaccination regime in Australia, and every-increasing punishments for anti-vaxxers, is necessarily the best means to go about achieving a worthy goal. It's not clear, to me, that the recent escalation will have significant positive effects beyond a mere simple political stunt.
Is this really me? Parasites and other humans' cells in our brains change our psychology
Many people are suspicious about being manipulated in their emotions, thoughts or behaviour by external influences, may those be drugs or advertising. However, it seems that – unbeknown to most of us – within our own bodies exist a considerable number of foreign entities. These entities can change our psychology to a surprisingly large degree. And they pursue their own interests – which do not necessarily coincide with ours.
Is the NHS surcharge just?
Not long ago the UK implemented an NHS surcharge – an extra fee that non-EEA nationals (Australia and New Zealand are also exempt) applying for leave to remain in the UK must pay. It costs £200 per year, and must be paid up front. So, for example, if you are applying for a work visa for 3 years, and you have a family of three, you must pay £1800 to cover the surcharge for you and your family (on top of other visa costs).
It is difficult to find much public discussion in the UK regarding this surcharge, outside of a few articles that recently noted that the surcharge is unlikely to do what we were told it would do – namely, benefit the NHS. (See here)
Is the surcharge a just policy? Continue reading
Strange brew: opiates from yeast
A recent series of papers have constructed a biochemical pathway that allows yeast to produce opiates. It is not quite a sugar-to-heroin home brew yet, but putting together the pieces looks fairly doable in the very near term. I think I called the news almost exactly five years ago on this blog.
People, including the involved researchers, are concerned and think regulation is needed. It is an interesting case of dual-use biotechnology. While making opiates may be somewhat less frightening than making pathogens, it is still a problematic use of biotechnology: millions of people are addicted, and making it easier for them to get access would worsen the problem. Or would it?

The mechanical bathroom scale MS 8160 is an interesting solution for people who have no confidence in modern technology and displays that can break down in the least expected moment. This is a stylish product for those who want to keep track of their weight and care for the health of the whole family. Home scale as an additional motivation to care for the form? Why not!
The mechanical personal scale MS 8160 is a product for traditionalists, people who appreciate the simplicity of devices and the lack of excessive decorations. The white coating is still elegant and will certainly look good in both a modern and traditional bathroom. The simplicity of use and high quality will help you to enjoy this product for a long time.
A simple and stylish solution
The quality of the elements used for the production, small size, secure calibration knob and the easiness of cleaning are definitely its biggest advantages! You just put the scale on the floor, stand on it and you can read the result right away. After using it, you can slip it under the cabinet or put it in a drawer. For cleaning use a damp cloth and later wipe it dry. Very practical! And home scales should be just that: practical and reliable!
Advantage over electronics
Despite the fact that almost all devices that surround us today are electronic, not everyone will see them as their first choice! If you do not want to remember about the need to purchase batteries and their regular replacement, we recommend our mechanical bathroom scales! The display, which shows the right weight with a red line, will not go off suddenly and its accuracy up to 1000 g will ensure precise and accurate measurements. Despite the seemingly delicate construction and small size, the capacity of our scale is 130 kg.

Social Media… ahhhhh! It's such a fantastic tool for communication, spreading news and sharing media all over the World… but I've just had enough for now. I'm taking a break because there is just too much shit on there. As you all know, or should do by now, I don't sugar-coat things I say to people, I'll tell them and if they don't like it then it's as tough as Mum's cooking.
I'm going to continue writing my blog because it's personal to me. The people who are closest to me and are interested in what I am going through can still follow my progress on here, so it's a goodbye to Facebook for a while.
Today is an anniversary for me, 4 months to the day since I stopped alcohol for my 1-year challenge. So this will be day 1 of no social media. Well, that will be tomorrow as I was using it this morning at work!
Tomorrow's blog will be more information about the T-totalness over the last 120 days!

My all time favorite holiday of the year is approaching! Since I was little, something about Valentines Day hit home for me. The gift giving, romance, passion, and the love that it brings is super special. Valentines Day is meant to remind everyone to tell the ones they love how much them really mean to them. Write a letter, send a text message, give a present to show you care, hell, shout it from the rooftops. Tell everyone how much you LOVE them. Now, that's what Valentines Day is all about.

TEAM Spencer- Muscular Dystrophy Western Australia PhD Scholarship for SMA Research
The TEAM Spencer- Muscular Dystrophy Western Australia PhD Scholarship for SMA Research would not be possible without the fundraising efforts of TEAM Spencer founders Rick and Ruth Steven, so ably and selflessly assisted by AME Offshore Solutions. The fundraising group TEAM Spencer was created by Rick and Ruth Steven, in honour of their son, Spencer who was born in March 2006 with SMA and who died just seven months later. Since then TEAM Spencer have dedicated themselves to doing 'Whatever it takes' to find a cure for SMA.
In April 2012, the first TEAM Spencer- Muscular Dystrophy Western Australia PhD Scholarship for SMA Research was awarded to UWA PhD student Loren Price. Loren, is based at the Centre for Comparative genomics at Murdoch university and has recently summited her thesis "Applications of antisense oligonucleotides (AO) in splice intervention for treating inherited diseases" for review. Loren's project has looked at using antisense oligonucleotides (AOs) targeting exon 7 of the SMA causing Survival motor neuron gene (SMN2). By binding AOs to particular motifs of the gene message, it can prevent exon 7 being excluded from the transcript, and therefore produce increased levels of functional.
It is pleasing to know that following the research developments and investigation undertaken by Loren Price, this investigation has been expanded and continued at CCG and 2016 MDWA extended our support through a second scholarship to Ianthe Pitout. Iantha continues the investigation of the application of antisense oligomers to modifiers of the Survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2) gene in order to reduce the severity of Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
2015 also saw the provision of a second TEAM Spencer-Muscular Dystrophy Western Australia PhD Scholarship for SMA Research to Dr Adelaide Withers, a Paediatric Respiratory and Sleep Physician at Princess Margaret Hospital. Dr Withers research at Curtin University and thought the Telethon kids institute aims to identify and accurately predict the onset of hypoventilation through the development of effective clinical predictors of the disease progression and in particular respiratory dysfunction.

The exam enrollment break million mark in Shanghai relatively stable position for the original title: 2017 national examination enrollment break million mark today for the 2017 "test" the last day of registration, public education in 16 as of yesterday statistics: in 2017 the national examination registration audit by the 1021833 people, breaking the million mark, and more than 1 million 10 thousand last year. Currently the hottest jobs still to the NLD central office reception director and the following position, competitive ratio has reached 7555:1. "Lengrebujun" trend more serious from 2012 to 2016, the hottest jobs peak appeared in 2013 Chongqing National Bureau of Investigation Corps 9411:1 position, close to the "one in a million". The hottest position has now reached 7555:1, this is 2013 after another "peak", but due to the enrollment and today a day in 2017, the "test" is the hottest position to hit a new high since 2012, people will wait and see. 4 a number of candidates positions exceeded 2000 mark compared to last year, only 3 jobs, but 1261:1 enrollment in the hottest positions 7555:1 and ranked second compared to the gap, which fully exposed, in 2017 the "test" "Lengrebujun" trend is more serious. 380 jobs no applicants, there are still 380 job applicants have not broken zero, accounting for 2.4% of the total number of jobs, 34 jobs Zhaolu number in more than 2 people, for some positions near the end, heat is also very large. Expert analysis, although from a single day of growth, for the first two days for the weekend, with 22 and 23 days of registration for the weekend is basically the same, but because the two days before the registration of candidates in high spirits, daily growth momentum is fierce, then from 18 to 21, in 2017 the national examination report on the increase in the number list is higher than the previous three years, over the weekend over the trial registration number over the previous three years of decline compared to the same period, this may be the reason again last weekend, a lot of candidates have completed the registration, on the other hand, some units may also slow down the audit, not through the examination of the candidates can pay close attention to their own dynamic audit today. Therefore, today as the last day of registration is likely to occur blowout. According to the statistics, the position of the position in Shanghai through the audit of the total number of 22164 people, a total of 9 positions no one through the audit of Shanghai. Through the examination of the largest number of the top three departments are: Shanghai Municipal State Taxation Bureau, Shanghai customs, Shanghai frontier inspection station, three departments of the total number of 15821 people through the audit, through the audit of 71.4% accounted for the total number of. Shanghai customs inspection audit office to become the highest proportion of job competition, recruiting 5 people, the number of 1706 people, the competitive ratio is 341.2:1. The number of applicants through the first ten of the audit is mainly concentrated in the Shanghai customs, Shanghai border exit inspection station, Shanghai Railway Public Security Bureau and other departments.
