Should You Buy Cheap Chinese Promotional Items?The Peoples' Republic of China has now become an Oriental backyard and a mass factory base for many cheap products. In the last decade China seems to have proliferated the world's trade and commerce zones in virtually every industry. They are exporting heavy ATV vehicles to promotional items to almost all countries of the world. But recently the Chinese make cheap toxic dolls, glows and promotional items for birthday parties came for world flak in media. Considering that every company and individual wants a good reputation, should one touch any of the cheap Chinese promotional items? They may be good but they are cheap and lethal?

Wholesale Lot - Learn the Good Side and the Bad Side About Wholesale Lot BusinessBuy and sell is not at all a difficult business. Likewise, this is one of the best business ideas these days. To make it easier for you to decide, ask yourself first if you want and willing to invest in this business before actually entering it or else it will be harder for you to be successful on this business.

As you guys saw on my post yesterday I picked up to of the new China glaze Safari Colors, I Herd That and Kalahari Kiss. I figured these would look gorgeous together and man was I ever right. I was staring at my nails all day today.
Kalahari Kiss is a pale camel cream that applies really nice. Took two even coats for full coverage.
I then did one layer of I Herd That which is a glitter that has gold, copper, and tan glitter in it. It applies really nice with even glitter coverage. This color is sooo amazing!!!!
I love how this is high impact glitter but a pretty neutral color. Would be a great combo for New Years or a special occasion where you want some glamour but nothing crazy.
Now today I also recieved my first Julep Mystery box and I was sooo underwhelmed by it. I got a nail file, Emma & Gayle polishes, Julep Elixir, Glycolic Scrub and the Hand Brightening cream. Those colors are soo not me.
I may give the mystery box one more try next time to see if it gets any better but right now I definatly prefer the boxes where you get to see what your getting.
Anyways I hope you all had a great day :)

On this day, 22nd January 1967, The Monkees performed live for the very first time at The Cow Palace, San Francisco to a sell-out crowd.
The Monkees story began in 1965, when Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider, a pair of producers came up with an idea for a television series about a rock group. Inspired by Richard Lester's groundbreaking comedies with the Beatles, A Hard Day's Night and Help!, Rafelson and Schneider imagined a situation comedy in which a four-piece band had wacky adventures every week and occasionally burst into song. The Monkees TV Show premiered on NBC in September 1966 – this was just the start of The Monkees phenomenon. "Last Train to Clarksville," the group's first single, had become a number one hit a few weeks earlier.
Avant garde film techniques—such as improvisation, quick cuts, jump cuts, helped win the show two Emmy awards in 1967 and propelled its four stars to pop stardom. John Lennon called them "the Marx brothers of rock", but in 1967, The Monkees outsold both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones combined, and went on to sell 50m records.
The show also saw heavy cross-promotion and product placement, with prominent promotion of sponsors such as Gretsch (for musical instruments), Kellogg's breakfast cereals, and Yardley's shaving supplies. The series was sponsored on alternate weeks by Kellogg's Cereals and Yardley of London.
Each of the four was given a different personality to portray: Dolenz the funny one, Nesmith the smart and serious one, Tork the naive one, and Jones the cute one. Their characters were loosely based on their real selves, with the exception of Tork, who was actually a quiet intellectual. The character types also had much in common with the respective personalities of The Beatles, with Dolenz representing the madcap attitude of John Lennon, Nesmith affecting the deadpan seriousness of George Harrison, Tork depicting the odd-man-out quality of Ringo Starr, and Jones conveying the pin-up appeal of Paul McCartney.
The Monkees resided in a two-story beach house at 1334 North Beechwood Blvd. in Malibu, California. The front of the first floor was a combination of the living room, dining room and kitchen. In the back, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, was an alcove where the Monkees kept their instruments and rehearsed songs. The walls were covered with various signs and posters, such as the "MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL" sign near the kitchen and the "IN CASE OF FIRE, RUN" sign with an arrow pointing to an old-fashioned fire extinguisher near the front door.
The Monkees were the first group to exploit television and have songs written for them by classic Brill Building artists (Neil Diamond, Gerry Goffin and Carole King, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, Harry Nilsson, Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, and Jeff Barry). And what great tunes they were – "Last Train to Clarksville", "Daydream Believer", "A Little Bit Me, a Little Bit You", "I'm a Believer" and "Pleasant Valley Sunday".

Editor's Note: This story originally appeared on Food Not Bombs.
MIAMI, FL–Welcome to another withering criticism of a large-scale Occupy Miami event! Just kidding…actually for the first time in a long time it felt like Miami and Fort Lauderdale had as much going on as an area with a population of over 5 million deserves.
May Day in Miami started with a march starting down Biscayne Blvd. We took the streets and stayed in them. A sort-of black bloc then sort-of shut down the Port of Miami. That was short-lived as an ambulance immediately needed access and some people were pissed that someone tried to block the road in the first place. For these kind of tactics it is a learning experience around here. No one does this sort of thing here, period. So I felt somewhat refreshed just to see it tried, honestly.
So then we marched up and down Biscayne and Brickell, snarling traffic and jeering at bank buildings. Eventually an arrest finally occurred (which I happened to witness) where an activist that was slowing down the police pushing us by baby-stepping in front of the car got busted. Shortly thereafter a scuffle broke out in which another protestor was beaten and arrested and the cops also knocked one of their own on his face, which drew blood. There was also reports of a squad car that came dangerously close to running over protestors.
Afterwards there was a puppet show by our collective, the Autonomous Playhouse, and speakers.
AND THEN, another activist was arrested – Alfredo – who was dramatically arrested after the end of the event and is being charged with two counts of assault on a police officer. Which, in my objective opinion, is BULLSHIT!
There were some downsides. The liberals completely and intentionally abandoned the Occupy march in favor of having another show-protest in front of Jackson Community Hospital, and Occupy Palm Beach, which apparently has sworn off direct action, was nowhere to be seen. What was seen, though, was a vibrant level of engagement, especially by anarchists, in the South Florida area that is a new and encouraging phenomenon.
Great work from all involved (especially Miami Autonomy & Solidarity)…let's do this again sometime.

Free Wipe Solution Recipes
Making your own wipe solution is so easy and can even save you money too! Not only are these recipes great for wiping dirty bottoms, but you can also use them to wash dirty hands and faces.
I found these recipes here and I thought I would give you some of my favorites. These recipes don`t contain anything harsh for your baby, no alcohol or chemicals.
Many wipe solution recipes contain the same ingredients. There is a purpose for each ingredient also.
- Oil: Helps the wipe glide across baby's skin and keeps skin soft
- Soap: Cleanses by removing all traces of urine and feces
- EO: (Essential Oil) Added for antibacterial and/or aromatherapy purposes.
- Water: The main ingredient in each recipe, cleanses the diaper area and dilutes the other ingredients
How to Use Cloth Wipe Solutions
To mix your solution, start with your oil and end with your water. The oil also coats your measuring tools and will help the soap slide right off. To avoid lots of bubbles, add your water slowly.
Here are a few different ways to store and apply your wipe solution. Choose which one will be best for your family.
- Use a spray bottle to spray the wipes before use
- Use a bottle with a pull-up spout like those found on some bottled water bottles to dribble solution onto the wipes.
- Warm solution and place in an insulated container to provide warm wipes for baby.
- Place the solution into a commercial baby wipes container and dip wipes into the solution.
- Place cloth wipes in a commercial baby wipes container and pour wipes solution over wipes.
- A commercial baby wipes container can be placed in a wipes warmer to provide cozy warm wipes for baby.
Don`t store your solution or your wet wipes for much longer than one week, as they may become musty and will allow bacteria to grow. Mix your solution in smaller batches and check it daily for mustiness.
Some of my Favorite Cloth Wipe Solution Recipes
Steep the tea bags in the hot water then add the oil.
2 chamomile tea bags
2 teaspoons almond oil
2 cups hot water
Basic Wipe Solution
This basic recipe can be adapted by changing the type of soap or oil.
1/2 cup baby oil
1/2 cup baby wash
2 cups water
Easy Peasy
Just three simple ingredients...
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons baby wash
1 1/2 cups water
Eight is Great
Similar ingredients as other recipes, but in different amounts.
1/8 cup vegetable oil
1/8 cup baby wash
8 drops lavender oil
4 drops tea tree oil
2 cups water
Lavender 'n' Tea Tree
Lavender and Tea Tree are popular EO choices for wipe solutions.
1/8 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon baby shampoo
4 drops tea tree oil
8 drops lavender oil
3 cups water
Olive 'n' Tea Tree
A great natural wipes solution.
1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin not necessary)
1/8 cup gentle baby bath
A few drops tea tree oil
4 cups water
This recipe relies on the EO to cleanse, instead of using soap.
1-2 drops tea tree oil
1-2 drops lavender oil
1 cup water

Caring for Your Wool Diaper Covers
You can wash your woolies in a lanolin rich soap, or simply add solid or liquid lanolin to your soapy water. The lanolin helps the wool retain its water-repellant nature. Lanolin is a wax like substance found naturally in wool. Lanolin naturally wicks moisture away from the baby's diaper, and makes the wool almost water-proof.
- Gentle soap (baby soap, baby shampoo, or olive oil soap work well)
- A large bowl or a sink that can be plugged for soaking
- Lanolin (there are many different kinds out there...you can use the breastfeeding lanolin Lansinoh or PureLan, or you may be able to find it at the pharmacy)
- Jar with a tight fitting lid
- Clean, dry towel
Step 1:
First, you need to melt your lanolin. Take your jar, put some hot (doesn't need to be boiling) water from the tap (if it gets hot enough) and add a pea-sized amount of lanolin. You will need more lanolin if you will be lanolizing more than one item.
Add 1-2 drops of baby shampoo or soap to the jar. Put the cover on tightly and shake. The water should melt the lanolin, and mix the soap into it. The water should look somewhat cloudy and there should not be any oily drops floating on the surface. If there are, it is the lanolin that has not melted properly. All you need to do is add more hot water, or heat it a few seconds in the microwave (without the cover).
Step 2:
Add this soapy mixture to your bowl or sink. Then you need to adjust the water temperature so you don't shock your wool. Add some room temperature or colder water to bring the mixture to almost room temperature. Turn your covers inside out and place in the water. You can gently squeeze the covers in the water to help the water soak in. Be gentle with your wool. Allow to soak at least 20 minutes or more (no more than 24 hours).
Step 3:
Once your woolies are finished soaking, gently squeeze out as much water as you can. Do NOT wring! Lay your towel down on a flat surface, and roll up your wool covers with the towel. You can place the rolled towel on the floor and step on it to get as much water out.
Step 4:
Lay your woolies flat to dry. You can occasionally turn them right side out/inside out to help them dry faster. Do not put them in direct sunlight, as this can heat them up and may cause shrinking. Drying time can take up to 2 days. If the only cover you are using is wool, it may take a bit of planning, so that you have some clean ones to use when the others are being washed.
When do wool covers need to be washed?
One nice thing about wool is that you don't have to wash it after every use! This is because the natural lanolin in the wool, which reacts with the urine to produce a natural "soap", which will help to clean the wool and keep bacteria from growing. This means your cover will never smell like urine once it is dry! Even after being soping wet, it will still dry and smell just like wool....unless your cover needs to be lanolized! You will know your wool need a refresher lanolization when it still smells like urine once dry or if it starts to leak.
After each diaper change (when the cover gets wet) all you need to do is air dry your wool. Once dry, you can re-use it. If your wool gets soiled, you can spot wash it with a mild soap, rinse, and then lanolize if needed as above.

What am I Working on?
I finished up the custom order for a friend of mine. The Ribbie turned out great, so I decided to make it available to Etsy-land. I am calling it the Sock Monkey Ribbie. What do you think??

NEW! Recycled Sweater Longies Listed
For the following two, I wanted to do something a little different to make them unique, so I cut out some designs from scraps from other sweaters, and made these:
For this one, the deep wine/burgundy colour of the cashmere blend sweater looked so nice against the grey merino, I decided to pair the two together!
This one is another favorite. This blue cashmere sweater was so soft! The longies will keep one baby so nice and comfy I am sure! They are not thick enough for night time I don't think, but they would do great for day time from winter up to summer!
There will be more to come! I can also make soaker/shorties to match any of these. If you would like to make a custom request, please send me an email at email@example.com .

Wednesday - What am I Working On?
First off though, I recently relisted a pair of Longies made from a recycled lambswool sweater. They are grey with an orange stripe. They are super soft, and nice and thick for the upcoming longie season! I reduced the price also to $15 (from $19) so get them while they are hot!
The matching soaker is available here.
With that said, I am currently working on a huge local order. A complete starter pack complete with One Size diapers, wipes, doublers, and a wool soaker. I am working hard to get this order done before I go back to work/school soon.
I will soon be listing some of these wipes on my Etsy. They are super cute and will come in very handy for wiping bums, bathing, or washing pretty much anything. They are made with one layer of flannel (you get to pick the print!) and the other layer is cotton terry cloth.
This is the next item to be listed on La Petite Krott Creations Etsy shop. I am knitting them in a slightly different way than I normally knit my longies. In the past I have knit my longies, basically as soakers with longer legs. I found this allows for the same amount of "roomy-ness" in the back end for those bulky diapers, but with long legs to keep baby warm on those cold nights. I am using a few different free patterns for these, basically combining all the best parts of each pattern.
These will look more like regular pants, but they have short rown knit in the back to add room for the diaper. I am planning on making a nice girly ruffle at the bottom of the legs. More pictures to come once they are finished!
But, first I must finish another custom order as well.
This is the start of a Ribbie, made for a little baby boy on his way to this world. The waist is a orangy-red colour. I added the narrow green stripe, and it turned out great...at least I think so! I will duplicate the green and orange stripe pattern on the leg cuffs. I hope they like it! I may have to make a second one to list on Etsy as well.
Well, that is all for this week's work. Check back again next Wednesday to see What I am Working on :)
P.S. Any colour suggestions for longies are welcome :)

Hollywood actor Robin Williams is reportedly set to make a cameo appearance on the favourite TV series, Homeland.
The 61-year-old Good Will Hunting and Mrs Doubtfire star is said to be in talks with the show's writers about a possible role in the show, which has just entered its second series in the UK.
Howard Gordon, who developed the thriller with Alex Gansa, said they were considering Williams for a role after he revealed that he was a fan.
Gordon told the Daily Mail: "Robin loves the show and we talked about the possibility of him appearing on it. How that'll pan out, though, we don't know yet. We heard Mick Jagger was a fan too."
The thriller, starring Claire Danes and Damian Lewis, follows Marine Sergeant Nicholas Brody who returns home eight years after going missing in Iraq, and Carrie Mathison, a bipolar CIA officer, who suspects he is an al-Qaida sleeper and may be plotting a terrorist attack on the US.
The show proved a hit when it debuted last year and the second series is being screened on Channel 4.

Rebecca Lou - No Surrender
Rebecca Lou Armstrong of Copenhagen, Denmark, is a great hard rock singer who is simply known as Rebecca Lou. She is one of this network's all time favorite emerging indie artists who is destined for something big in our opinion. She has been at it for quite a while, singing in several different mostly very hard rock/metal bands. In 2013 she was featured here on The Indies when she was the lead singer of a stellar band known as Stella Blackrose.
We have heard her sing in a few different situations/bands/acts and she can take a lame band or song, a bad situation or wrong kind of production and squeeze a great sound out of it the second she starts singing. She treats all music situations we've heard like that old saying... If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That makes her a real pro.
The thing that is inspiring about her is that she is not trying to fit into other people's mold of what they think she should be. She is comfortable in her own skin and exudes an authenticism and confidence that is rare. Years ago, I wrote her a note encouraging her to stay away from pop music, which she had been experimenting with for a pop idol show in Europe. I wrote to her and stated that rock stars have contempt and pop stars don't, and that I thought she should stick to rock. I felt like she was a rock star in the making up to that moment and going down the pop road, she would throw it all away. She wrote back to basically say "I am what I am" and that she was "having fun". Her response left me with much more respect for her than I already had.
Hearing her most recent original solo material gives us hope that she might very well emerge as a very successful real rock icon, hopefully like a modern day Joan Jett meets Ann Wilson of Heart. Rebecca Lou has a lot of passion, always has a strong delivery and as she appropriately titled this song, she has no surrender in mind. Turn it up and give her some love! GC

Remedy for jitters? A dose of Wsby Brett Ballantini
The resurgence of the once-proud club that had fallen on hard times is familiar news, both within Chicago's city limits and across the NHL.
As impressive as the Blackhawks' two seasons under the Rocky Wirtz regime have been, there's a significant difference between compiling big wins for and huge revenues from a hockey-starved populace, and turning that into great postseason success.
But the Blackhawks' extremely young core, almost completely devoid of postseason experience, hasn't slowed the team's roll into the postseason, having gone up 2-0 in their 2009 Western Conference Quarterfinal series against the Calgary Flames. Not that anyone is really surprised.
"You could see some first-game jitters there, for sure, even in Game 2," says veteran NHL broadcaster and Blackhawks announcer Ed Olczyk. "But the way these guys rebounded in both games really opened some eyes around the League, I think."
In fact, it's been the Blackhawks' core sophomores, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, who have keyed Chicago's early success. In Game 2 alone, Toews broke the ice for the Hawks with a nifty flip shot and then rebounded in the eventual game-winner to cap a daunting net rush, while Kane supplied a sweet turnaround assist on a center feed to Patrick Sharp to tie the game at two.
"No doubt, we came out nervous in Game 1," said Chicago coach Joel Quenneville. "They should have been gone by Game 2, but there was something there that got us off slow last night as well. I did a little more talking to guys on the bench than usual, just reminding them of our game plan, stay focused, keep doing the little things that got us here."
Quenneville admits that despite all game-planning and guidance, there's no tonic he can circulate that will grow his recent teens into gruff 10-year vets. Nor does he deny that this young band of Blackhawks is an uncommonly cool and mature group. But one aid he's quick to doff a cap to is the Blackhawks' famed seventh skater — the rowdy Chicago crowd, attempting in this postseason to lift the roof completely off the United Center.
"I love the way we battled back in both games," Quenneville said. "But I just have to commend our crowds for an assist on those rallies. Game 2 especially, the enthusiasm there was off the charts."
Perhaps it's those indefatigable shouts and rhythmic whistles that help keep the crew calm when times turn on ice, but as a whole, Chicago has epitomized grace under pressure, postseason or not.
"We came out relaxed in the second [period of Game 2], not feeling any tension," Toews said. "We feel like we get smarter as games go along. We've got the right mix of veterans and coaches helping keep us confident. Top to bottom, everything's clicking for us right now."
"This is a group that doesn't care about who's scoring, but who's winning," said Sharp, a six-year veteran who's seen both the highs and lows of hockey in Chicago. "That might not be an uncommon theme for hockey teams, but it's essential for a winning hockey team. And that's what we have in Chicago right now."

Building Small Business And Driving Revenue Through Smart Financial Practices
If you're going to be in business, you must know how to keep score. To gain this knowledge will require that you go to school to learn both accounting and computer software that is used to support your particular business. With this knowledge, you can talk intelligently about your accounting needs with employees, bankers, and your own accountant.
The financial matters you will confront in your own business are little different than those of large corporations. Financial tools, coupled with an understanding of how to use them, will assist you in the proper management of your business. Without this understanding and without a dedicated commitment to using financial tools, you reduce your chances of success.
Your business will be judged by the classic financial measures: the balance sheet, the profit and loss statement, and the cash flow statement. These three measurements will define the financial health of your company. In this session you will learn how:
You will also need to gain knowledge of accounting in order to evaluate your competitors or businesses you might wish to acquire (or be acquired by). While information about companies may be obtained from stock brokers or interviews with key executives, the best source to learn about your most successful and publicly owned competitors is to read their annual reports. You will need to understand accounting to draw intelligent conclusions. Accounting courses at your local community college will give you most of what you need to know.

Kinlough chef makes
The Bridgestone Guide Top 10
The village of Kinlough is preparing for an influx of food tourists following the publication of The Bridgestone Guide 2012. The 'go to' guide has placed local Chef Piero Melis as one of the "10 Hot Chefs" in the country while also honouring The Courthouse Restaurant as one of the Best 100 Restaurants in Ireland.
By Fiona Heavey
The Bridgestone Guides are authoritative, controversial, reliable and independent. Making it in to the Bridgestone Guide is very prestigious.
Chef Piero Melis, proprietor of The Courthouse Restaurant, Kinlough knows the importance of the publicity. He said he is "delighted" with the achievement and the "acknowledgement of his hard work."
The restaurant has been noted in the guide for almost ten years of it's 15 year business but the upgrade to one of the best 100 restaurants in Ireland is something he feels will boost business.
"Last year I won Best Chef in Leitrim and this really helped business, the media publicity boosted our numbers." He now hopes his high inclusion in the Bridgestone Guide will further increase customers to The Courthouse.
The Courthouse's Thornhill duck dish is listed as one of 10 great signature dishes and the restaurant also makes it on to the top 10 Him 'n' Her Places!
Piero told the Leitrim Observer he relies usually on the local custom of Leitrim, Sligo, Donegal and Fermanagh. He said his close proximity to the seaside town of Bundoran helps trade. In the past three years he said he has noticed more loyal customers returning, which he would not have seen in the years previous. But The Courthouse does attract foodies from further afield and Piero has been taking more frequent bookings from people in Dublin and Belfast who also want to stay locally on their trip.
Piero puts down his success to local products of good quality and excellent value.
He said acknowledgment by Bridgestone puts more pressure on him to perform to his best, which means being more creative. As one of the top 10 chefs in the country according to Bridgestone, Piero has become the "one to watch."
Piero had only caught a glimpse of the guide before he spoke to the Leitrim Observer. He said he had been informed about the news by many people ringing to congratulate him. He said he feels he did not do anything special last year to get the recognition, he has just continued his hard work ethos.
With six part time staff along with himself, The Courthouse is currently open Thursday - Sunday but will be expanding their open hours around Valentine's Day and again in late April/ May.

A New Season, A New Era
The playoffs are over, the big game is set, and honestly, I wish it was already over. We all had big hopes for this season and although we didn't get to see our dream come true…playing in the Super Bowl in our own house, we did finally get a few changes made that were desperately needed. Wade is gone, Garrett is in…a new era, a new time, a new passion, and much needed discipline.
Garrett brings in a Johnson-esque style of discipline requiring the players to be more responsible; they actually have to show up on time for practice, no more wandering in whenever they feel like it. No more showing up or traveling in clothes that are unbefitting America's Team, they now once again have to look the part. Full pad practices during the regular season, and big new flashing red digital clocks installed to remind the players the importance of being on time and that there are consequences if they're not. Garrett has put a work ethic back into the team and let the players know that the lazy days under Wade are gone, and if they want to play for this team, they had better start earning it.
Since Garrett took over the team, also gone is the average of 20 points per game and fans wondering where their team was and when they would show up. We all got a glimpse of the team we know and love and were able to cheer on their average of 32 points per game, giving us all hope for the future.
There are a lot of questions and rumors flying about why Garrett didn't make some of these changes to his offense, since he was in charge of them before he was promoted to the head coach position. You have to look at the big picture to find that answer. Although he did call the plays and hope for the execution, he can't do it all himself. The players have to want to make it better, want to make it work, and care about their team again. That has come from the culture change that has been instilled since Garrett took over. With players showing up to actually play and wanting to make a difference and keep their job, the level of play on offense and defense goes up. Turn overs are down, penalties are down, allowed sacks are down, and big plays are up. Now that's a change we needed to see.
All of this gives us hope for the new season and the future of our team, America's Team, now and forever! I say bring it on!!

Bioinspired Materials & Systems
Bioinspired Materials & Systems
Research group Prof. Bill
Structure – Synthesis – Movement
Inorganic functional materials are essential for key technologies like information technology, energy generation and storage. Thereby, complex structured multifunctional inorganic materials as well as hybrid materials, which contain additional organic components, are of particular importance for developing such technologies. The formation of materials with defined structure and composition with conventional techniques, related with harsh reaction conditions and elaborated equipment, thereby reaches its limits. In contrast, living nature provides impressive examples for the formation of complex structured inorganic materials at ambient conditions (Nanomechanical characterization). Within such biomineralization processes, bioorganic molecules control the formation of the inorganic phase. The resulting hybrid materials often show multifunctionality, and the material properties are expanded by the incorporation of the bioorganic molecules.
The material formation mechanisms and structures as well as the interaction of organic and inorganic phases in hybrid materials are characterized with spectroscopic, X-ray and microscopic techniques. Furthermore, electronic, nano-mechanical and optical properties are investigated. In this context, multifunctional materials with electronic and nano-mechanical property combinations are relevant for e.g. actuators.

text: Hi all, I was diagnosed as a child with ADD, but never did anything about it. I was able to get through high school/college usually on wits alone, as I found it really difficult to get any work done. However, recently it has really impeded my research. I show almost all the symptoms, restlessness, inattention to detail, rambling on when I talk, disorganization etc. so I made a doctor's appointment to see a doctor on Tuesday and was wondering if anyone on these forums has had problems with Adult ADD. If you did, how do you deal with it? Do you take any medications(Strattera is a non-stimulant based medication that looks promising)? What behavorial modifcations do you make? Are there alternative solutions? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Shares of chip designer ARM Holdings have surged more than 7 percent after the company's first-quarter profit jumped on strong demand from makers of smartphones and tablets.
ARM's pre-tax profit for the first quarter rose 44 percent to £89.4m ($136.3m, €104.4m) from the prior-year quarter, beating analysts' estimates by about £10m.
Following the results, ARM shares rose as much as 8.8 percent in the morning, the biggest intraday gain since July. The shares are trading at 935.5 pence, up 7.7 percent as at 10.32 am BST.
Quarterly revenues increased by 28 percent to £170.3m year-on-year, on strong demand for low-energy processors and chip designs in smartphones and tablets. Analysts polled by Bloomberg estimated £160m.
In addition, the company was helped by the strength of the dollar against the pound, as it collects most of its revenues in the US currency.
ARM's royalty revenues continued to outpace the wider semiconductor industry, due to market share gains in key end markets. The company noted that the demand for its latest designs was strong in the quarter, with its premium Cortex-A series technology accounting for half of the licences signed during the period.
In the first quarter, the shipments of ARM-based chips increased 35 percent on year to 2.6 billion units, with mobile chips rising by 25 percent and embedded chips rising by 50 percent.
"Everyday devices are becoming smarter, more connected and more energy efficient, which is increasing the applicability of and demand for ARM's technology," CEO Warren East said in a statement.
"In particular, this quarter ARM saw strong uptake of its next generation, higher royalty bearing ARMv8, Mali and big.LITTLE technology for smartphones and mobile computers."
The company, which supplies companies such as Samsung and Qualcomm and Apple, maintained its existing guidance for the rest of 2013, and expects second-quarter and full-year revenues to be in line with current market expectations.
East is due to step down from the company on 1 July after 12 years of service at the firm, which has become one of Britain's most successful technology exporters. He will be replaced by Simon Segars, the company's president.

He may have said he had been diagnosed bi-polar but deliberate cruelty and undermining of a partner is not how bi-polars are in general. For you to advise people to turn and run rather than have a relationship with a bi-polar SUFFERER is nasty on your part. I went into a deep depression after our breakup and became suicidal for 4 months. I have been looking for someone like you to talk to for 15 months now. It was bad and he wanted others to know he was doing a bad thing. In any event, it was me, (me being a masochist) who actually wanted to have it be not passionate, however, he always knew exactly what to do. Once when he came over for the weekend he said to me, âwe arenât going to have sex all weekend are we?

Omaha Woman Sentenced for Mail Fraud
United States Attorney Deborah R. Gilg today announced that Chief United States District Court Judge Laurie Smith Camp, sentenced Tamika Payne, age 35 of Omaha, Nebraska, following her conviction for conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Payne was sentenced to probation for five years including six months of location monitoring. She was also ordered to pay restitution to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services in the amount of $141,091.18.
Payne was friends with coconspirator Jason Armstrong. Armstrong worked as a case manager for the Nebraska Aids Project where he was tasked with addressing the needs of Nebraska clients living with HIV/AIDS. Armstrong linked clients to appropriate resources which included housing assistance. Armstrong, working in concert with Payne, submitted fraudulent applications for housing benefits that were paid out with funds provided by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The applications were fraudulent, in some instances, because they had been submitted in the names of people who were not clients of the Nebraska Aids Project. In other instances, the applications were submitted in the names of actual clients but the submissions were made without the clients' knowledge or consent. Checks would be issued in response to the fraudulent applications and the proceeds would be split between Armstrong and Payne. Payne's role consisted, in part, of signing "landlord certifications" which falsely represented she was the landlord of the properties where the bogus clients lived. She also cashed checks generated by the scheme and split the proceeds with Armstrong. During the course of the scheme approximately $141,091.18 in fraudulent benefits were paid out. Jason Armstrong was sentenced in March of 2014 to the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons to serve a sentence of 24 months. He was likewise ordered to pay restitution in the same amount.
This case was investigated by the United States Secret Service.

MTT Success Requires Blind Faith
Blind faith can be a pretty bad thing. You throw out all evidence against your position because your beliefs are so strong. Your faith may be misguided, but you will never see that with blind faith. Blind Faith in MTTs is a good thing though. It is actually required. You must have blind faith in your MTT/poker skills to be successful long term in MTTs. That seems a bit crazy, but it is true.
The feedback you get on your poker game in MTTs is so very, very poor. You can play well for very many MTTs and have no success at all. You can play like a total donk and win an MTT. It is pretty hard to tell if you are playing well or playing bad, as MTT results can vary so far from your actual play. The variance is just so high. Lets say that you played the 50/50 twice a week, 50 weeks out of the year, and it averaged 1000 entries. On average through average play you will win the 50/50 once every 10 years. Once every 1000 trials. Now lets say you are above average by 20%. Now you will win the 50/50 once every 8 years if you play it 100 times per year. So now you are 6 years into your quest to win the 50/50 (or the Mookie if you are Hoy), and have not got it done yet. Is this because you are good and unlucky? Is this because you are a bad player? Or, is this because you have not run enough trials yet. This answer is you have not run enough trial yet to know.
So 6 years later in the example above, or several weeks later if you are playing tons of MTTs, you start to question your game when the results are not there. It may be that your game has issues, or it may be that you have not run enough trials to overcome the variance. If your game has issues you need to fix them. If you have not run enough trials, you need to run more, and not change your game at all. If your game is good enough to be successful you MUST have blind faith in it. If your game is there already, and you tweak it because of lack of success you will make your game worse. You simply need to know that your approach to MTTs is correct, and success will follow.
So how do you know if your game is already there, even if the results are not there? This is pretty tough. I think cash game players have an advantage here. It is easier to overcome the variance, and find semi-standard situations in cash games. It is easier to prove to yourself that your game is already there, or your game needs some work in cash games. Cash game players can take this knowledge to an MTT and be convinced that at least their early (when MTTs play closest to a cash game) MTT play is correct. The next important thing to do is to analyze the hands where you got eliminated, or where you took a huge chip hit in a MTT. Was your play correct independent of the results? This is what is important. When you are playing well in MTTs, you will be eliminated on bad beats most of the time. This is a strong indication that you are playing well. If you make a move and get eliminated, was it the right move given the situation? If you jam over an early position limp with KTo from middle position, and the BB wakes up with AA was it a good move or not? This is where things get tough. The moves you made to get you where you are are the same moves that can send you to the rail. If your moves are correct, even when they fail, have blind faith in them. Trust your game and don't change it when the MTT success is not there. That is the only way to achieve long-term success in MTTs
Am I there yet? I think I am close, but I can lose faith from time to time. In the Bodonkey last night, I was getting rivered a bit here and there, and had chipped down to around 2k about an hour or so in. Still plenty of time to recover, but not a good start at all. I picked up KK and raised the 15/30 blinds to 100. 4 callers. The flop drops Q92 rainbow, and it checks to me. I c-bet about 300, and ScottMC reraises me to 700 or so. So I have about 1600 left, and this is simply a push or fold situation. The problem here is that so many were able to see the flop, and they all had set mining odds. There is a very decent chance that I am up against a set here, and I could easily see ScottMC play a flopped set that way. MTTs are more aggressive, so over pair folds are tougher. If I have a full stack, I can fold that to Scott much easier. My stack was not full, but not desperate yet either, but against my internal warnings I push and Scott has 99 for the set and IGHN. One of my worse plays in a while in an MTT. Some justification I guess, but still not a very good play. I can make that fold and still have enough play to get back into contention if I have blind faith in my game. I also know that folding an over pair in an MTT is sometimes required to win. Had my stack been a bit smaller, I can justify the push even when it is wrong. Well there is always next week to put blind faith to the test.
