We promote our brand and corporate image based on unique philosophy, logo and core values.
Being the first-choice life insurance service provider of Vietnamese families
With understanding and devotion, Prudential Vietnam commits itself to the best financial solutions for the improvement of life quality for each client.
Goddess Prudence is the public face associated with the Prudential brand name since 1848. Goddess Prudence is one of the four cardinal virtues, including Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance. Since Greek and Roman times Prudence has been personified as a woman holding a serpent and a mirror. She may also be shown with compasses, representing her measured judgment, a book or a spindle.
The image used for Prudential company symbol in 1848 was based on the painting of Prudence by Sir Joshua Reynolds.
The current corporate logo, designed by Wolff Olins and launched in 1986, is of a much more stylized Prudence but remains faithful to the traditional symbolism.

The Problem: Men find shaving a boring chore.
The Challenge: Get Indian men to shave everyday, including weekends.
The Insight: According to Nielsen research, 72% of women found the act of shaving their men sexy.
The Solution: What if we got women to shave their men in fun and exotic positions! So we created ShaveSutra – shaving positions inspired by the ancient text of the Kamasutra.

Pure by Junianna Baggott was … strange, very, very strange. I liked it but it's not for everyone.
We know you are here, our brothers and sisters . . .
Pressia barely remembers the Detonations or much about life during the Before. In her sleeping cabinet behind the rubble of an old barbershop where she lives with her grandfather, she thinks about what is lost-how the world went from amusement parks, movie theaters, birthday parties, fathers and mothers . . . to ash and dust, scars, permanent burns, and fused, damaged bodies. And now, at an age when everyone is required to turn themselves over to the militia to either be trained as a soldier or, if they are too damaged and weak, to be used as live targets, Pressia can no longer pretend to be small. Pressia is on the run.
Burn a Pure and Breathe the Ash . . .
There are those who escaped the apocalypse unmarked. Pures. They are tucked safely inside the Dome that protects their healthy, superior bodies. Yet Partridge, whose father is one of the most influential men in the Dome, feels isolated and lonely. Different. He thinks about loss-maybe just because his family is broken; his father is emotionally distant; his brother killed himself; and his mother never made it inside their shelter. Or maybe it's his claustrophobia: his feeling that this Dome has become a swaddling of intensely rigid order. So when a slipped phrase suggests his mother might still be alive, Partridge risks his life to leave the Dome to find her.
When Pressia meets Partridge, their worlds shatter all over again.
I stumbled upon this book when I mistook it for another book I heard rave reviews about under the same name. I thought about scrapping it once I figured out it wasn't the right one, but I read it anyway. This book got me thinking, but about the oddities within the story and not so much the story itself.
Baggott has a unique writing style. Her third person view of this broken world shadowed by the Pure-filled Dome brought a lot of unique perspectives. It was interesting how each chapter progressed between the differing views of each character. Personally, I'm not a fan of this type of writing, particularly because I fall in love with one voice and I hesitate to read the next chapter because I'm annoyed in the view shift. Also, since it was in third person, I was confused at who was the dominating voice in each chapter because everyone is referred by their name. The lack of first person left me thumbing back through the pages looking for a reference of which character was talking.
There was a well-paced build of relationships between the characters which took off rather quickly. Yet, throughout the whole book I wished for a first person view. All romance was muted due to the third person. It didn't draw the reader in and allow them to fall in love with the characters. It was almost as if I was watching the characters through a transparent dome, seeing but not really grasping who each character was. It was really disappointing.
Baggott came up with a crazy world. I'm all for a creative imagination and unforgiving post-apocolypic worlds but, dang, Baggott has no mercy. I've never read such beautifully grotesque descriptions and disturbing characters. I hope they never make this into a movie, I will NOT watch it. It's too much to handle. I admire Baggott's forward-thinking attitude and dabble into the biosciences and nanotechnology. It added a plausible scientific angle with the possiblity of messing with DNA. However, even though the outcome was believable, I was turned off by the hybrid creatures and the fusion of objects to body parts. I had an issue believing that people could survive fused to other people or that objects fused to organic material wouldn't deteriorate or break from use. It's quite frankly disgusting and this distasteful quality prevented me from fully accepting the characters.
The second novel, Fuse, will be released in February 2013. I will most likely pick it up out of curiosity but the characters weren't memorable enough to account for excitement. I feel like a lot of readers won't enjoy this novel due to its grotesque nature. The plot seemed forced and too set up. For all the action, it wasn't very exciting. The cover is pretty and the story was interesting but it doesn't have that spark that's needed to create book magic. It was just strange — very, very strange.

text: Christina Murphy Interiors April 13, 2010 I don't know that LOVE is a strong enough word for this perfection . . . The glass cloth on the ceiling is fabulous, and I love the ebonized parquet floors. I've always wanted to have a room done in a high-gloss or lacquer treatment. I love the peacock color on the walls balanced with the white sofas and big windows. To me it feels classy and sexy, yet also comfortable, which I love. Three things steal the show here: the wallpaper, the lighting, and that amazing hammered table base. Love the gold detail added to the mirrors on the built-ins. Again–sophisticated, but comfortable (a style that I love!). I can see myself drawing those shades and curling up on the couch for a movie! Love the cozy feel. My favorite thing here? The storage under the crib (the rug's not too shabby, either!). More gloss, both on the floor and the walls. Looking at this makes me wish I would've kept my parquet entry . . . . So many great things here. Love the mirror, love the Diamond Jute (find a similar one here), and all of the chairs. I know I don't need to say anything about KWID trellis, so let's jump to the club chairs, the lighting placement, and all of that natural light!! OMG. THAT. CHEVRON. FLOOR. Black doors + Black floor (the showstopper in this house!) + Wallpaper + Bench + Dresser + Art = Breathtaking. (I really just could've mentioned everything in this space . . . ) I've been thinking more and more about painted floors lately, and these really make me want to take the plunge. Not in my home, of course, because my floors are only 4 years old, but somewhere, in somebody's home. I love the backsplash and the Acrylic/chrome stools, too.All photos courtesy of designer extraordinaire, Christina Murphy.

Finally Friday
Welcome to Friday, the gateway to the weekend! How are you and how was your week? I had a busy one, not just with work, but with some fun days as well. The weather has been lovely here, Wednesday my sweet neighbor Alice-Jane had a backyard luncheon and it was really great to see everyone! It was a lovely resting spot in the middle of a jam packed week!
I do try and take a few minutes every morning to have a cup of coffee out back, sometimes I just watch the birds and enjoy the cool crisp air and sometimes I bring a little something to read. It's not a fancy place, but it makes me happy. I brought Helen's book Pretty Patchwork Gifts with me and imagine my surprise seeing some Pam Kitty Morning fabric in her projects. It's pretty exciting for me. If you aren't a regular follower of Helen you should hop over, she just has posted the cutes Home Sweet Home quilt there.
Ok, I hope you people have a great weekend!! xop

"Hearts of Iron is a grand strategy computer game developed by Paradox Interactive and published by Strategy First, set in the years 1936-1948. In the game you can control any one nation as World War II unfolds. It was released for Windows-compatible PCs in 2002.
Hearts of Iron is based on Paradox's successful Europa Universalis game engine, but has many changes:
* a tech tree divided into 14 sections (infantry/artillery/industry/armoured units/navy/etc.), with dozens of researchable technologies in each section and the ability to customize some units.
* an economic model based on four natural resources: coal, steel, rubber and oil on which the armed forces and industry depend.
* Several military and political leaders to choose from.
* A variety of military units, from colonial militia to ICBMs.
* A weather model, affecting movement and combat efficiency of units.
Gameplay revolves around surviving (either before or during) World War II, and the player may cause or witness events different from how they historically occurred. Hearts of Iron is considered an alternate history game.
There are three main alliances in the game, the Allies, the Axis, and the Communist International that the player can either participate in or stay out of. The game ends when there is only one alliance left standing or on midnight, December 30, 1947, and the winning alliance is determined through a victory point system, giving points to alliances controlling key regions or cities.

Our general lessons will teach you the language skills you need in the variety of everyday life situations. This comprehensive skills base includes:
- speaking,
- listening and comprehension,
- reading,
- writing,
- spelling,
- grammar and punctuation,
- vocabulary,
- fluency,
- conversation,
- pronunciation,
- appropriate usage and reducing your accent.
At all times, we will ensure that you understand completely the foundations of the language so that your language skills develop in a consistent way and you apply your learning on your own.
After every lesson we will provide you with notes to help you remember what you have learnt during the session. We can also give you some extra work to do in your own time if your schedule allows.
Our general lessons will develop your confidence and ability to communicate fluently, accurately, and effectively.
We can also cover 'special' situations such as public speaking, formal and informal language, idiomatic expressions, letters, emails, applications, documentation and forms, interviews, CVs and so on.
We operate a flexible and scalable pricing model. To encourage the all-important regular and consistent learning over a period of time, I offer discounts for block bookings of lessons. The more lessons you book, the less each individual lesson costs, and the better the value for you!
Our prices include both reasonable travel costs and basic learning materials (your tutor will recommend additional materials to purchase if necessary). We are happy to provide lessons longer than our standard maximum 2 hour duration, which can be very cost-effective as well as beneficial for learning, so please contact us for a quote, we will be pleased to help.
Interesting, relevant and fun.
"ADC assigned a brilliant Spanish tutor to my girlfriend and I over the course of the last nine months. Having slightly different levels of understanding between the two of us (I studied Spanish many years ago at school, whereas my girlfriend has no prior knowledge) she was able to accommodate both our needs and help us to progress at the same time. She is extremely personable, patient, empathetic and thorough in her teaching style, and always takes the time to ensure we have a full understanding before moving on to further subjects. She has taken a subject that has the ability to become a mundane chore, and has helped ensure it remains interesting, relevant and fun, all of which help massively towards the ultimate goal of improving your language skills. From the both of us, thank you for your help and support."
Taught with great patience.
"I've been learning French for 9 months and have really enjoyed my classes. They are well tailored to my needs, focusing on areas that I need to improve on and taught with great patience. There is great variety within the classes which fully cover grammar, reading, writing and speaking. I have a fun teacher to learn from, so lessons are enjoyable. I would recommend taking 1.5 hours or longer sessions each time, as I have found this has really helped me more thoroughly engage with the language and gain a deeper level of understanding."
The flexibility was really great.
"I took Spanish lessons for over two years. Not only did my Spanish improve but I also gained a lot of confidence in speaking too. A huge help now I am traveling in South America. The lessons were near my work and arranged at times that worked well for me. The flexibility was really great as I could learn Spanish while fitting it in amongst everything else. My tutor was very easy to get on with and the lessons were always fun and challenging, arranged around interesting topics and varying in difficulty depending on how well I was improving! I would highly recommend ADC!"

Madison, Indiana, circa 1856
Not soon after his arrival in Madison he would marry in 1830 a fellow Swiss emigrant, Anna Bühler from La Neuveville on the Lake of Biel. Anna would give Louis seven children, but would die tragically in the delivery of twins in 1842. Louis would sell the farm in 1848 and would move onto Decatur, Tennessee. In an interesting twist of fate, whether of his own accord or the mistake of a local official, his family name and that of his descendants would become van Buren.
In 1830 Louis would marry Susanna Bühler (1807-1842) daughter of Christian Bühler from Schwanden - Sigriswil in the canton of Bern (1782-1855) and Anna Sahli.

text: Seneca - Stan Roseland, 82, of Seneca died Saturday, Dec. 1, 2007, at St. Mary's Hospital in Pierre. Mass of Christian Burial will be 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2007, at St. Thomas Catholic Church in Faulkton with Father Itukuleapata officiating. Burial will be at St. Thomas Catholic Cemetery in Faulkton, directed by Luce Funeral Home of Faulkton. Visitation will be 1-5 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4, at the funeral home, with a 7 p.m. wake service at the church. On Dec. 1, 2007, in the land of 10,000 haystacks, Stanley Roger Roseland died after a lifetime of hard work and dedication to his family and the cattle business. Stan "Sonny" was born Feb. 6, 1925, in Faulkton to Salvia and Thelma (Hanson) Roseland. Stanley spent his entire life in rural Seneca, attending eight years in a one-room schoolhouse. He never attended high school because his dad said he couldn't go until the work was done. His favorite hobby was working with the livestock and driving around in his John Deere tractor from sunup until sundown. Stanley was known as the hardest working, most honest man you could find. His earliest memories were of Depression days, finding bones to sell to glue makers, and collecting cow chips for fuel. He began his early days working with his father buying and selling livestock. Stanley spent many years working for Magness Livestock in Faulkton and Huron. Stanley's love of the land is now the cornerstone of his fifth-generation ranch. Stanley gave his time as a member of local and county school boards. He was a lifetime member of the Knights of Columbus. He was also honored to be a board member of the Dacotah Bank, Faulkton, for 13 years. Stanley was given the award from the South Dakota Charolais Breeders' Association for Commercial Breeder of The Year in 1994 as well as county conservation awards. Stanley did not know the meaning of retirement, but, at age 75, he informed his family that he was no longer doing 2 a.m. cow checks. Stanley was very proud of his 4450 John Deere loader tractor. He spent 50,000 hours working in the John Deere he purchased new in 1985. Stanley lived through years of blizzards, droughts, hailstorms, and floods, but had the most to say about the sunny days. He was a veterinarian when his cattle were lame, a doctor when you were sick, and a preacher when you couldn't keep your mind on sorting calves. He married Yvonne June Heinzen in Faulkton on June 4, 1949. To this union, three children were born: Julene (John) Cass of Redfield, Steve (Debbie) Roseland of Seneca, and Twyla (Ken) Bartholomew of Fort Pierre. Grandchildren: Scott, Jared, Chad and Stan Cass; Kelly Roseland Bohnenkamp, Slade, Sal, and Kim Roseland; Renee Huss Johnson, and Stacy Huss; two step-grandchildren: Alexis Bartholomew Clarksean and Chandler Bartholomew; nine great-grandchildren; and two in the calving barn. He is also survived by three sisters: Beulah Barrett of Faulkton, Beverly Lahren of Pierre, and Patty (Lester) Hansen of Faulkton. Preceding Stanley in death were his parents; grandson, Joseph John Cass; and son-in-law, Larry Huss. Visit www.familyfuneral home.net.

What Is A Bank Guarantee?
What Is A Bank Guarantee?
A Bank Guarantee involves a financial institution providing a guarantee that a debt will not go unpaid. This kind of transaction gives the person or institution a safety net should the debtor be unable to make good on his borrowed money. If this situation does occur, the bank that provided the Bank Guarantee is responsible for the balance owed. Bank Guarantees can provide the necessary references to obtain a loan for goods or services. By procuring this type of instrument, a business will be able to purchase the needed capital to start or maintain their services to others. Since a bank is "backing" the customer, the institution providing the loan has no reason to find the customer unworthy of a loan. Whether the customer follows through or not, the loan will still be paid back without any hassle or interference of collections agencies.
When Are Bank Guarantees Most Useful
Bank Guarantees are most useful when there is not a previous relationship between two parties. International transactions are one example of this necessary safety net. Since there is no pre-existing relationship, one party will have no proof that the other will follow through on his or her promises. A bank guarantee takes the risk out of this situation, and allows both parties to participate freely, knowing that the transaction will be followed through, whether by the original party, or by the bank offering the guarantee. Risks are certainly a part of business, but unnecessary ones are not.
Do You Need A Bank Guarantee?
The answer to this question is found in the answer to a few other questions, such as: Would you profit from transactions that you fear might not work out were you to become involved? Could you provide your services more freely and more widely if the risk of the other party not following through were lower? Simply put, a Bank Guarantee takes the fear out of stepping out on a ledge. If you know there is a safety net, you can feel free to not only walk, but do cartwheels. Think of how vast your connections and services could be if you just had a little bit of a safety net. That's what a bank guarantee can do for your business.

Comment on Skin Colour is Not a Fashion Statement (And no, we won't "get a tan…") by Viper.
Ugh, I don't understand that mentality. Whether people choose to be pale/tan/dark or are that way naturally, I don't understand criticism based on skin color.
Viper Also Commented
Skin Colour is Not a Fashion Statement (And no, we won't "get a tan…")
I'm glad to see all the positivity in this post! I am quite pale but tan quite easily, and I hate the way I look tan, so I strive to stay on the paler side. My family hates it, and when I lived at home my mother would take my high-SPF sunblock so I was forced to either use her low-SPF or not use sunblock at all. Even though I don't live there anymore, they still criticize me for my choice to be pale. I'm glad to see that other people feel that pale can be beautiful too!
Recent Comments by Viper
Do larger mannequins make you feel better about your figure?
I'd like to see a variety of mannequins. I don't think they have as much effect on our perceptions of our bodies as do images of real people, but I'd like to see different shapes and sizes (and less pinning!!!!!!!!). I'm a short size zero with broad shoulders. Where's my mannequin? I'd like to see boxy mannequins, curvy mannequins, pear-shaped mannequins, petite mannequins, etc. so people can get a better idea of how the clothes fit on a human frame. I don't have a problem with the tall, slim, small-framed mannequin, but if we're going to start using them as references rather than simple clothes hangers, as the demand for different mannequins suggests, then we need more.
Is it offensive? The Ardorous X American Apparel Period Power Washed Tee (Images NSFW)
Examining how we label and think about women's bodies is an interesting and important topic of study. However, wearing a graphic depiction of genitalia, regardless of whether it's male or female, just isn't socially acceptable, and neither is a graphic depiction of elimination of waste. The fact that periods are gender-specific doesn't counteract the fact that it is a function of waste elimination, like urination or bowel movements, but we wouldn't wear those.
Crime of Fashion? Spiked cutout leggings from Forever 21
I think they're sort of fun, but I don't like the studs.
How to Survive a Shopping Ban
For me and probably many others, bans backfire and lead to binges. In order to survive periods where I'm low on funds, I have to do exactly the opposite of what is suggested here and window "shop" often, surround myself with catalogues, and browse the internet blogs and shops frequently. I do agree with the "small rewards" bit though!
Fashion words and phrases we love to hate
"Curvy" as a euphemism for "plus size." "Curvy" is a body shape. There are thin women that are curvy, and as you mentioned, there are large women that are not. I wish we could find another positive word for "plus size" that doesn't already have an entirely separate meaning.
Also I hear this more from beauty bloggers, but the new term "selfie" is the worst word to hit the internet since…well, maybe ever.

The Matheson Team is a full-service real estate group serving Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix Arizona area. We have helped many of our clients relocate here from out of state, and provide information to help them acclimate to their new homes in Scottsdale or the Phoenix area. Summer in the Valley of the Sun usually features temperatures much higher than other parts of the country, and it can be especially hard on pets new to the area. As pet lovers, we are pleased to bring you this information on Summertime Tips for Happy Pets.
Keep your pet indoors, where it is cool. If it is too hot outside for you, it's too hot for your pet!
NEVER leave your pet in a parked car, even with the windows cracked open. Here in the Valley, temperatures in a parked car can reach 200 degrees or more in a matter of minutes. If you see a pet in a parked car, alert store or mall management. Or, you can call 911 to get help for the animal. In Arizona, it is a criminal offense for anyone who leaves an animal unattended and confined in a motor vehicle and physical injury and death is likely to result.
Walk your pet early in the morning, or in the evening when it is cooler. NEVER walk your pet during the heat of the day. The pavement is hot, reaching temperatures up to 160 degrees, and it can burn and blister your pet's paws. If you would not walk on the pavement in your bare feet, don't let your pet do it!
Don't let your pet overdo it on a hot day. Do not exercise your pet strenuously avoid extra-long walks, hikes or excessive play. Unlike people, pets cannot speak up when they need water or a rest.
Both dogs and cats can be the victims of heat stroke. Dogs don't cool themselves by sweating, as people do, but by panting. Signs of heat stroke include: excessive salivation, vomiting, glazed eyes, disorientation and your pet may become agitated or exhausted. Take action at the first signs of heat stroke by moving your pet to a cool spot – give him some ice cubes to lick, sponge him down with a cool, wet towel and let him lie in front of a fan. Then, rush your pet to a veterinarian!
If you must keep your pet outside, make sure there is plenty of shade and plenty of clean, cool water in a metal spill-proof container. Do not tether your pet to a stake, or other stationary object. Your pet may find himself stuck in direct sunlight and be unable to move away. NOTE: A swimming pool and/or spa is NOT sufficient for drinking water, and could be dangerous to your pet. You should observe the same caution with your pet around a pool as you would with your children.
Brush your pet's coat to keep it free of mats. If you shave your pet or if your dog or cat has white hair, you should talk to your veterinarian about types of sunscreen you can use to protect against sunburn.
Harmful summer foods: Corn cobs! Dogs cannot digest the cobs and will need them surgically removed from their stomachs. Also, grapes and raisins, when eaten in large enough quantities can cause kidney failure in dogs.

Hey guys, so this is a bit of an odd blog :D
But I got to thinking lately about the toxic negativity people are letting into their lives and what it's doing to them.
With depression and anxiety on the rise, the world is fast becoming a place dominated by people's image and self obsession. Nobody wants to be themselves anymore! Everyone wants to be Kim Kardashian, or Khloe, have the perfect body, perfect abs, fitness, perfect life etc etc. Everytime I go on my social media accounts all I see is #health, #fitfam, #lifegoals, #hyliejennerlips and so much more. What happened to just being YOU? People have become so obsessed with being fit and beautiful, drawing eyebrows, lips, contouring in cheekbones and a cleavage (I'm guilty of this myself) destroying our bodies with protein shakes and fast food, before agonising at the gym. Meanwhile not realising what this is doing to our bodies.
Call me old fashioned, but whatever happened to the odd treat, can of coke or bag of munchies and just exorcising regularly? Rather than gorging on peanut butter and fast food and breaking your legs doing squats and burpees the next day. If you ever take a look at our grandparents era, they worked and worked all day, in the bog or the fields etc (I'm sure we've all heard the stories) they walked everywhere and they only had so many meals a day. Yet they had plenty of fatty bacon, apple pies and sweets. The difference is unbelievable. I tried doing it the old fashioned way for a few weeks, just cutting out the crap, sticking to a few meals a day, not stressing over it and making sure I got my daily walk in. About a week after I noticed a difference in myself and I stopped caring about other peoples bodies and weight. Everyone is made unique for a reason, not to be a carbon copy of anyone else. We each have our own finger prints, our own dna, so why do we try to be like others? Only when we realize our unique value will we be able to be positive in our own beings.
Somebody said to me not so long ago, that after they lost weight and changed their image, people noticed them way more and they got more attention on facebook. I was in shock, but I noticed it too. Every day my feed would be riddled with 'transformation tuesday' pictures of people who lost weight or toned up and they would get 100's of likes. So this is the only way to get noticed anymore?
What is the world coming to? People might post photos or statuses to get attention, but they will start to depend on them and their insecurities will grow when they don't get enough.
Personally I am all for a person wanting to get healthier, in a natural way, but do it for yourself, not for facebook or instagram. Because you are only going to be happy if you do it for yourself. Comparing yourself to others on social media is worthless, because realistically, it is all a front! People aren't always what they post to be. So do everything in life for yourself, life is too short to do it for anyone else. Here are some steps I have to being happier and being more positive n your life.
It is hard to transform into a positive person overnight and even the happiest of people aren't always happy. Everyone has bad and good days. But the trick to overcome the bad, is to remember that good days happen and will happen again. Think of a day you were extremely happy and remember what you felt. You will feel that happy again.
Be thankful for you, have an attitude of gratitude! Try to be grateful for everything good that does happen in your life. This boosts the positivity. Slowly you will start to notice good things happen to you more and more and you will appreciate them.. Be thankful for your life, your health, friends, family, job, etc, even that nice cuppa you made at lunch! It will make you appreciative of every thing.
Cut any negative people out of your life. Negative people feed on negativity like oxygen, they literally live just to see you unhappy. Just like pulling out a thorn from your skin, you have to get rid of what does you harm. Even just spending less time with them and more with people that bring out the best in you will help. Delete them off facebook, block them, etc. Because some people literally live to see you upset and want to do better than you. Once they see you ignoring them and living a happy life, they try what they can to break that bubble.
Preach positivity to others. If you teach others around you what you have learned, they will start looking on you as a dependable person and someone to help them. It will even make you feel helpful and proud of yourself. Even sending a nice quote you saw on pinterest to them may brighten their day and make you feel good for helping them.
Have positive friends. When you grow older, you will start to notice your circle of friends get smaller. People change, as will you , it's all part of growing up. But it is also necessary to cut any negative friends from your life and keep the positive ones closer.They will grow with you and nurture you, rather than dragging you down.
Some people will always try to drag you down or talk about you and spread negativity like a plague. It is best to just ignore it and stay away. Unfortunately some people get dragged down into the negativity and can't think for themselves, Stay positive always and be yourself! I myself have dealt with this situation plenty of times recently and always it is the same negative person coming back to cause drama, Just ignore it and move on like I have!
I hope this blog helped you if you are feeling down and lacking positivity :) I just had some issues myself with people and decided to take my own advice of preaching to others :P
Hope you enjoyed !

before). Mistaken input due to instability in pointing is as follows 4 cases : R,T,R,V.
Toward this, the results of re-input using the discrimination formula (T1 = 0.2sec) showed that undesired data input caused by "pointing instability due to the tension or tremble " had dropped 25% as shown in Figure 3 (error: after).
Using the thinking described above, it was confirmed that a particular "discrimination formula" could be set for each disabled subject.
In addition to these time parameters, keyboard covers were useful to disabled subjects prone to shaking and rigidity. The usefulness of adjusting the size of the keyboard in accordance with the range of movement in the hand was also confirmed in tests.
We analyzed of key input movement characteristics, and parameters that control key input were decided. And we check that an input system suitable for users can be obtained through adjusting parameters.
Next, we researched how to set the discrimination formula from statistical processing that takes into account a wide range of input data, and we confirmed the improvement in key input.
More, we decided all the factors for the discrimination formula.
We consider to evaluation of an appropriate input system based on the set discrimination formula, and promote tests of other targets of research (switch, breathing, and voice input).

T'ej in Milwaukee
This summer we've mostly spent just south of Milwaukee, and with all my wife's family in town for a wedding this week, everyone is feeling celebratory. This family has a long legacy in the Horn of Africa as missionaries. Grandma went off to the Horn in the late 40s and Grandpa arrived soon after, they met, got married and had my mother-in-law, aunt and uncle (who today is carrying on the legacy in Afar land in Ethiopia). Those kids grew up in between Sudan, Somalia, and Ethiopia, and their stories of British boarding school, Haile Selassie, and the Queen's visit are a much more direct connection to colonial Africa than you encounter in any museum or movie.
So of course with the family all together, Grandpa offered to take us out for injera and various wots at the Alem Ethiopian Village in Milwaukee. Back when my wife and I got married in Philadelphia five years ago this week, we held our "rehearsal dinner" at a tiny Ethiopian cafe next to Rittenhouse Square. It's nice coda of sorts, upon reflection.
I'd vowed to ask for T'ej–the famous spontaneously fermented Ethiopian honey wine–next time I could, and indeed they had it. Even Grandpa the teetotaler was in generous mood and ordered it for us anyway. (I've been working down his resistance so he'll share his namesake Schneider Weiss by the end of summer.)
Served cold in a wine glass, the T'ej was pleasantly sweet, spritzy like a Riesling, very honey-like and more refreshing than I expected. Although, the relatives who actually live in Ethiopia said I'd ordered the digestif too early. Rookie mistake on my part.
The menu lists it as Enat, which I think is a brand from California. Next time I'll have go at some of the Ethiopian beers on offer, including one on the bar shelf whose writing was completely in Amharic except for the words 'Amber Beer.' Sounds promising.
All in all, a pleasant evening with fine food and good company.

Some new source code has been spied on the Google homepage that implies that Google will also bring the Google Now assistant to the Google homepage. So far Google Now has been confirmed only for iOS, Android and Chrome.
Google promotes Google Now on Google.com with the text: "Get started with Google Now. Just the right information at just the right time. Google Now uses your Home location to show relevant information like weather, traffic conditions, and nearby places."
It will be interesting if Google Now will also have an impact on web search in general. Will Google Now kill traditional web search?

Two International Students Make the College of Business's 25 Under 25 List
April 9, 2013
Congratulations to Huzzatun Iqra and Ahad Khan, two international students who are on the College of Business's 25 Under 25 list. Both Huzzatun and Ahad were recognized for their hard work in the accounting program. In addition to their superior academic records they are both active on campus. Huzzatun was named "Resident of the Year" because of her involvement with the BBC and Ahad founded the student organization, Accounting Society to give lower-level students an overview of career opportunities.
The 25 Under 25 program recognizes outstanding undergraduate students from the University of South Florida's College of Business. Students selected for this honor are individuals who are under 25 years of age and have demonstrated excellence in at least two of the following four areas: scholarship, professional development, leadership, and community/campus service.

Season 18 endures a partner shuffle; EW.com's Annie Barrett signs off
Did the season 18 Partner Switch-Up need to happen? Nope. Did it happen anyway and we all just had to deal with it and maybe it didn't turn out to be that bad? Ding ding ding! (The sound of a fork clanging against a hollowed-out mirrorball.) That's just how life works sometimes, on and off Planet Mirrorballus. It's the way of the worlds. You think a partnership's going really well, and then suddenly it's over.
But relax! It's just for one week! Order shall be restored soon enough. Have some faith, DANCMSTRs.
Will the judges please reveal their scores? Carrie Ann Inahhhhhh-ba!
Meryl Davis and Valentin Chmerkovskiy: 39/40 "Can I fall backwards?" wondered a wide-eyed Meryl upon learning her "new person" (wait, is this Grey's Anatomy?) had just entered the room. "Can I go now?" Oh, to be an ice dancer! Just lean on back and chances are someone is waiting there to catch you. And if they're not, hey, it's just ice. Your life is like a box of trust falls.
Anyway, ARE YOU KIDDING ME with this Argentine Tango?!
"Oh, hey, just hanging out in this specific pose, no big deal."
Incredible results from Meryl and Val on what tends to be the seethingly jealous Maksim's favorite dance. Head judge Len Goodman called them out for being a bit too staccato at times, but I'm pretty sure he was just desperately trying to be creative. If you look at the totals from this week and last week (I've compiled them all at the end of tonight's ranking), Meryl is ahead of the pack by miles. (Seven points.) Looks like the "Chmerswapskiy" — Tom Bergeron wordplay for the win — worked out for our ice goddess.
What's the biggest difference between the Brothers Chmerkovskiy? "Val is down to business," Meryl confided to the cameras. The business of braiding her hair.
James Maslow and Cheryl Burke: 35/40 Cheryl always gets what she wants (except for Peta's height, long legs, and blonde hair), so this "perfect storm" of a tango — which involved James executing a cartwheel in just a few feet of space between some stairs and a freaking gem-tastic throne — had to make her happy even though the dramatic outpour of support for her original partner with his temporary partner (Drew and Witney) probably made her a little sad. Ever the pro, though — Our Pro — she carried herself like the dancing queen she is.
James is really going for it with his refusal to wear shirts, huh? I'm into him as a dancer. As soon as he distinguishes himself from Adam Levine as a person, I will probably be on board with him in the more humanlike aspects as well.
Amy Purdy and Mark Ballas: 34/40 Awww, poor Mark — he's "never been like the physical type" (HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE IF YOU ARE A BALLROOM DANCING PRO), so he was absolutely nerve-wracked when it sank in that his temporary partner Amy had no legs. Luckily, Mark's BFF Derek was on hand to sit down with him for a poignant chat about how they were both wearing fedoras.
"I mean, we're indoors! So they're even more unnecessary!"
The Switch-Up really worked in this case, though — Mark remained his "space-giving" self, leaving Amy on her own to find her balance during the salsa. It sounds treacherous when I explain it — and believe me, for a moment there I was horrified — but his hands-off style allowed her to claim her own danceability in a way that Derek's more "I gotcha" human-chimney-sweep style had not. So, good work, guys! Effective switch. And I'm so glad the judges were all able to agree that they love Amy Purdy's tight ass!
NEXT: Is Drew Carey suddenly a contender?

One dies in ATV rollover in rural Becker County
An ATV crash early Tuesday morning in Becker County has left one man dead and another injured, according to the Becker County Sheriff's Office.
Anthony Robert Ortiz Sr., 47, of Soap Lake, Wash., died at the scene after the side-by-side ATV he was driving rolled over on South Elbow Lake Road in Round Lake Township.
He was one of three men in the ATV. One of them was his son, Anthony Robert Ortiz Jr., 21, of Soap Lake, Wash., who was injured and was airlifted to Essentia Hospital in Fargo. His condition was not known. The third man, whose name was not released, declined medical treatment.
Statements at the scene indicate that Ortiz Senior was driving and lost control of the ATV, which rolled over and landed on top of him. Alcohol may have been a factor in the crash, which is still under investigation, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Emergency personnel from the Becker County Sheriff's Office, the White Earth Tribal Police Department, the White Earth Ambulance Service, Carsonville Fire and Rescue, and North Memorial Aircare responded to the crash, which was reported at 12:33 a.m. Tuesday.

This is my Final Fantasy Homepage. In it you can find all the cool Final Fantasy sites on the web, which include Game Genie codes, maps, hints, walkthroughs, etc. You can also find information on the game from my prior knowledge. I have been playing Final Fantasy I for over seven years. I have also at least played parts from all of the Final Fantasys released for NES, SNES, PSX and PS2. I have beaten FF1, FF2 (Japan - translated), FF4, FF5 (Japan - translated), FF6 (FF3 U.S.), FF7, FF9 and FF10. I have compiled many hints from FF1 into this webpage to help you. Use whatever information you find to help you as you journey to make the orbs shine and restore good to a world dominated by evil. If you have any questions or comments, I can be reached at email@example.com (I have changed my e-mail)

January 26 2005: I know I have not updated this page in a LONG time. School, which has to be a priority, has just been absolutely stressing me out beyond reason, but I graduate in May so maybe finally I will be able to keep up this site better. I got a new challenge, and I updated the challenge page accordingly. While doing that, I also noticed that I didn't post the end of the previous challenge. I don't have the screenshot of it, and I apologize, so you will just have to take my word that I did complete four knights at level 24. I have the time and everything, but I do not have the screenshot.
June 21 2004: I had to delete the quiz, because the provider would not let me make another 30-question quiz without upgrading my service (and paying money). I know it was very popular, and I am sorry.
May 13 2004: Wow! I haven't made any updates on here in a LONG time. I have just been swamped with school, work, and everything else a college student deals with. I have added something new now. Yes, I do check the poll results, and it gave me an idea for a Special Parties page. On this page I will be recording my games with four-of-a-kind parties and solo parties, complete with commentary and screenshots. The format is very similar to the White Mage Journal on Final Fantasy Origins, one of my affiliates. The first party I have decided to undertake is a solo black wizard party. Check it out!
February 27 2003: I realized that I did not change the party page in my last edit to incorporate the completed challenge, so I did. I am now working on Thief, Thief, Thief, Thief (w/ class-up), though finding time to play may be difficult.
February 25 2003: I decided it was about time to change the poll, and so I did. It is now about Final Fantasy bosses. I updated the main page, since I purchased a PS2 and have now beaten FF10 as well. I hardly even visited this page last semester, as will be the case this semester. I apologize to everyone who visits it regularly, but college classes just demand too much of my time. I still have a severe backlog on challenges, and I haven't even started up my emulator in about three months.

A Literary Form Without A Name
The novel that comprises a number of seemingly independent stories -- usually of novelette or novella length -- appeared only with the advent of literary Modernism (the earliest example I can think of is Hemingway's "In Our Time," and that only if you don't declare it a collection), and has never been terribly popular, in large part because it seems to confuse publishers. (Random House insisted in calling Faulkner's novel "God Down, Moses and Other Stories" in its first edition.) But it is a form that affords great pleasures.
It is also a form that is particularly common in science fiction. John Clute once coined the term "fix-up," which he has since decided causes more problems than it solves, to describe novels that first appeared in independent sections in magazines. Early examples include A.E. van Vogt's early work, as well as Asimov's "Foundation" novels. The problem with "fix-up" is that the term can be used to describe a straightforward story series eventually published in volume form and called, perhaps for obvious commercial reasons, a "novel" rather than a "collection." Van Vogt's "The Voyage of the Space Beagle" is a fix-up by this definition, but it isn't at all a single, unified work. So "fix-up" doesn't help us, either.
Perhaps the first really good example in SF is James Blish's "The Seedling Stars" in 1957. The novel's five sections share no characters or locale, and each is set in a widely differing era. The volume is a unified novel, however, held together by forces other than the usual narrative continuities. You don't find too many artistically fruitful examples over the next dozen or so years, although some prolific writers -- Robert Silverberg, for one -- would bat out stories set in a single milieu until he had about a volume's worth and then published them as a novel. The only one I can think of that really made use of the form's peculiar resources is Keith Roberts's "Pavane" (1968).
The early seventies, however, saw a bunch of them. The Wolfe and Disch novels I cited, plus Disch's unfinished "The Pressure of Time," Roberts's "The Chalk Giants," and, I suppose, Asimov's "The Gods Themselves." This minor trend continued through the decade -- I remember examples by Joe Haldeman, Kate Wilhelm, Richard Lupoff, Pamela Sargent, plus one that Harlan Ellison never finished -- then seemed to trail off.
More later.

May 24, 2012
A new smartphone app called SceneTap made a big splash with its recent launch, but not all of the reviews were entirely favorable. The app employs facial-detection software and cameras placed strategically in bars and nightclubs to tell users the age and gender makeup of an establishment they're thinking of visiting. The problem is that the patrons being scanned by cameras don't necessarily know that they're being monitored. Some privacy advocates call it "creepy." Is it an invasion of privacy for your neighborhood watering hole to install cameras and scan your face? Here, a brief guide to the controversy:
How does the app work?
The people behind SceneTap have installed cameras in bars in San Francisco; Austin, Texas; Athens, Ga.; Bloomington, Ind.; Chicago; Gainesville, Fla.; and Madison, Wis. The cameras use facial-detection software, which unlike facial-recognition software, only picks up on basic data about people and can't specifically identify faces. SceneTap uses this information to come up with a rundown of ages and sexes, so the app can give users real-time updates on which nightspots are full of women, or men, and how old or young the crowd is.
What's the point?
SceneTap CEO Cole Harper says the app helps people find places that offer the type of crowd they're looking for. That, fans of the app say, would help people avoid the hassle of going out of their way to get to a bar, only to be disappointed by the human prospects. "If I was a single dude living in the city, I would use it," says Sean Silva of San Francisco, where the app launched on Friday in two dozen bars.
