Inspired by Kawadjan and his friend Heide's blog posts about books and their corresponding first lines, here and here, respectively, I now share with you my own list of fave books:
1. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
- Holy Bible
2. The past is an endless source of compelling ideas and creativity.
- Cream x Maison Martin Margiela
3. Louis Vuitton was born in 1821 in Anchay, a hamlet in Jura, a region of mountains and forests.
- Louis Vuitton: The Birth of Modern Luxury by Paul - Gerard Pasols
4. Muji was born in Japan.
- Brands A to Z by Muji
5. Modern menswear is primarily concerned with communicating individuality.
- Modern Menswear by Hywel Davies
6. Spring Collection.
- Fashion by Karen Salmansohn
7. 'People wear my clothes to make a statement', explained Yohji Yamamoto, summing up, in the laconic style we have become familiar with over the last twenty or more years - a contribution to fashion that constitutes an exploration of fashion itself.
- Yohji Yamamoto by Francois Baudot
8. Although I was for years a fashion sittings editor, I was never particularly good at it.
- Stylist: Interpreters of Fashion by Sarah Mower
9. May in Ayemenem is a hot, brooding month.
- God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
10. Cristobal Balenciaga was always destined to be exceptional.
- Balenciaga Paris by Pamela Golbin
Although, most of my choices are fashion related books I am very particular in acquiring it. I often don't like encyclopedic tomes that generally lump several designers into a specific category like years, style or silly concepts. I much prefer the ones that trace the development of one particular designer or brand. I love when it discusses the processes and development involved in making the clothes. I want to see the obsessiveness of the author in detailing all aspects involving the subject matter. Like the Balenciaga one, it even includes picture of receipts. Or the Muji one complete with campaign explanations, detailed product lists by year, etc. I view a book as some magical instrument to help me understand a world that's so different than mine. What's your fave books?

Adoption = Open LIES!
|| The
Industry ||
Damage to Mothers ||
Damage to Babies ||
Why Records Closed
Friends, it
is with deep regret that I find I am unable to continue writing
articles for this column. I have taken on a great load of
work which I need to accept because of the need to earn a
living. I now find myself without enough time to carry out
everything. - Joss Shawyer"
When my book Death By Adoption was published in New Zealand
in 1979, it caused quite a stir. There were many reviews,
some supportive, others downright scary, but one that stayed
in my memory was printed in a Catholic publication. The reviewer
berated me for what was described as my "angry and bitter"
stance against adoption, that sacred cow that had always been
off limits to criticism. You would have thought that I had
burnt the national flag or otherwise committed an act of unforgivable
sedition, instead of simply exposing the traffic of adoption
for what it was; a wholesale oppression of unmarried women
and the children born to us outside of formal marriage.
years previously I was asked to address a group of social
workers to present my views for single mothers and against
adoption. By the time I finished speaking, some of those social
workers were on their feet and screaming at me. One even cried
real tears as she tried to process what I had said. I could
see how very disturbed social workers were as a group and
what a vested, very personal interest they had in adoption.
But then they were almost like God, really - in the powerful
position of giving away other people's children. And of course,
they had never been challenged.
But in those days women were not supposed to think
or say things that were remotely political. That was the territory
of men. Women certainly never told the truth - about their
own lives; about unwanted or unplanned pregnancies, about
being a battered wife perhaps, or about having been raped.
'Good' women, that is, women that men approved of - were essentially
passive women. They kept their mouths shut about the crimes
committed against them, and especially about the traumatic
life experiences that were the lot of all fertile women. And
then, with the advent of women's liberation the entire social
climate changed.
It seemed that overnight
women were speaking out, rejecting the terrible, damaging
passivity that men had enforced in order to maintain gender
control for so long. What a relief it was to be a woman who
did not give a toss what anyone thought about what she thought,
or said. It was a wonderful freedom to be oneself and there
would be no going back.
I became one of those
outspoken, stroppy feminists tired of being oppressed, in
my case because I was a single mother. One who had rejected
adoption as an acceptable solution to a pregnancy other people
found inconvenient. My experiences of serial oppression perpetrated
on me throughout my twin pregnancy gave me the wonderful gift
of understanding that the condition of single mothers being
oppressed by every man and his passive hand maidens was universal.
What had happened to me was happening to all women in the
same situation. I began to seek answers. That led me to the
obvious starting place; sexism and social policy. I began
to research adoption. It gave up so much information, the
quest for the truth turned into a book.
People still ask about the title and why I chose
it. Here are quotes from the book in explanation as to why
the term 'Death By Adoption' summed up the mothers' collective
suffering for me, and still does.
"Death by Adoption is the death experienced by the
real mother. The baby she carried can actually die for her
at either the moment of birth or as she signs consent. It
would be more bearable if the child really did die, for then
she could grieve and so recover from the death. But although
the child died for her, it remains very much alive for someone
else. And alive for her too. Or it would be, if it weren't
dead. Although some adopted children die in childhood she
will never know if one of them is hers and will continue to
look in hope (when there is no hope) that one day her child
will try to find her. From the moment her child is gone, she
must hide the stretch marks and pretend she never had a baby.
We do not allow her to grieve and even if we did and she understood
why she feels the way she does the grief will always remain
unresolved for the simple reason that the child is not dead.
Some women recall vividly both the actual birth
and the signing of 'consent'. Although their pain has still
not diminished, by allowing themselves to feel the rage and
hatred, they somehow found the strength to face it at the
time. Some women suppress their pain so successfully that
they cannot recall a single detail. They know a child was
born and subsequently adopted but cannot recall the date,
year and sometimes even the season of the birth. No memory
of either hot or cold weather; not a single event connected
with the pregnancy or the birth, which is still lying dormant
in her mind.
Wanting her opinion on it as a possible dust jacket
for this book, I handed the official adoption consent form
to a woman who clearly remembered the birth in every detail.
Her hands began to shake as she realized what I had so casually
placed in them. No recollection of having seen it before.
No recollection of signing it. She supposed she must have
gone to a lawyer's office, somewhere. For the first time she
experienced the loss of her death by adoption. There are an
estimated one hundred thousand adopted people in New Zealand.
They all had mothers, women who, by being made to believe
they had no right to love the babies they carried and birthed,
were forced to relinquish all contact.
How many are set free?
How many remain trapped inside an emotional nightmare with
unresolved grief as a lonely companion. Only humane legislation
can ease the pain.
Alas, twenty five years after I wrote those words,
the 'humane legislation' that would permit a dual right to
search, and also allow a mother of a 'taken' child to have
contact with that child as of right throughout its early life,
remains on hold.
While there have been legal gains to open records
in many countries for the adults adopted as infants, to enable
them to locate their natural mothers and through them, their
fathers, the mothers themselves remain locked into the pain
of what is a terrible, irresolvable grief, into reunion and
often beyond.
The mothers of the children taken into what is now
seen as a form of slavery, whereby an infant is stripped of
all its legal rights to identity, including the loss of its
entire genealogy through falsified birth records, continue
to suffer. Even in reunion, the symptoms of the various psychiatric
conditions directly caused by forced adoption haunt the mother
whose 'cure' depends on the resilience of herself and her
now grown infant, to forge a healthy relationship based on
the mutual trust and affection that has been denied them since
before the birth itself.
But even in the 'best case scenario' where there
is a successfully bonded reunion, those lost years and that
lost infant can never be regained. Both are gone forever.
This is crazy making stuff for the mother.
There is no doubt that many, many adopted people
suffer too - from a lack of identity, from a lack of a feeling
of belonging in the 'right' family i.e. their natural family,
from a feeling of 'unnaturalness' caused by being in a substitute
home, often based on a lack of the attachment that was always
supposed to happen according to the trite psychology applied
by trite social workers to the children they displaced. It
was believed - wrongly - that babies would automatically respond
to affection from a stranger. It was also believed - wrongly
- that the adopters would feel an automatic attachment to
their new acquisitions.
Sadly, the two way attachment process happened far
less often than was publicized by social workers covering
their tracks, or covering up what they believed to be their
own mistakes but were actually just a side product of adoption
itself. The inevitability of failed adoption is inherent in
the process of attempting to 'attach' people never meant by
nature to belong together in the first place, a process destined
to fail.
It is well known that when records open the adoption
brokers panic. In the mid 1980's, when it became apparent
that the New Zealand government would vote legislation to
open birth records for adult adopted people, there were rumors
of dire action being taken by social workers around the country.
For instance, I was told at the time by a reliable source
that social workers at a public hospital were keeping busy
shredding adoption records.
Social workers were covering their tracks, including
their illegal acts. Destroying official records meant breaking
the law as well as professional ethics to obliterate records
that would reflect badly on themselves. That these were the
same people entrusted to place new born infants into sound
homes with substitute parents showed us just how flimsy and
how dangerous adoption law and practice actually is. It is
unsound, unsafe, and totally unjustified.
The mothers of the children kidnapped for adoption
during the 'baby scoop' era of thirty to forty years ago,
were so damaged by the experience they are only now starting
to speak out publicly about the crimes committed against them
by the adoption industry and that happened with the full collusion
of the state. Adoption has been proven to be a failed social
experiment that has left a trail of destruction in its wake.
Stranger adoption should be considered a crime against
humanity. It is experienced as an emotional death by the mother
who does not recover;"(For) the saddest and most horrifying
aspect of adoption is the amount of emotional damage inflicted
upon the natural mother. To call her the 'birth mother' instead
of the 'natural mother' allows her only the physical birth
and denies her those feelings she wasn't supposed to have.
By implication this makes the adoptive parents unnatural,
but secret adoption cannot be considered natural when the
real mother, the victim of this hit and run, is left battered
shocked and damaged. Nothing could be more unnatural".
Like everywhere else, stranger adoption North American
style can best be described as a 'hit and run', a non-accidental
crash site with two primary victims, mother and child. But
unlike everywhere else, it is apparent that what drives North
American adoption is the money made by the baby brokers, those
heinous people and their supporting organisations that traffic
in human beings. They buy and sell infants and children. They
import and export, just as the original slave traders did.
Misery and mental illness are their environmental side products
that are polluting the lives of their victims across generations.
One day there will be a reckoning. As North American
adoption records open - and it is inevitable that they will
open - the truth about adoption law and practice American
style will find its way into the public arena. And there seems
little doubt that in the future the mothers of all the children
forcibly taken for adoption will have their day in court.
It is also entirely probable that the Administration
of the United States will finally be forced to offer up a
public apology to the hundreds of thousands of American mothers
whose children have been redistributed for the purpose of
appeasing the right wing faction, that 'moral majority' that
is actually a minority, but with a power base far in excess
of their actual numbers.
But it is a certainty that a 'third wave' of North
American feminist theory will be crafted, defined and taught
by the first mothers of adoption slavery, who will lead the
'new woman' in a wave of political action to outlaw stranger
adoption and restore families torn apart by domestic slavery.
This third wave of feminism will replace that tired
old 'second wave' of feminists who have failed their fertile
sisters so badly, so knowingly, so willfully by taking part
so willingly in the terrible crimes committed against them;
stealing their children away and failing to stop it from happening.
"The revolutionary woman must know her enemies,
the doctors, psychiatrists, health visitors, priests, marriage
counselors, police-men, magistrates, and genteel reformers,
all the authoritarians and dogmatists who flock about her
with warnings and advice. She must know her friends, her sisters
and seek in their lineaments her own". Germaine Greer, The
Female Eunuch (1971)

Chances are pretty good you're already carrying around an old-school version of this camera. The Olympus Stylus line, which has been around for ten years, is the best-selling compact-camera series in the country. Its sleek curves have always trumped the boxier competition, and the Stylus's palm-size scale makes it a 35-mm. camera you can actually carry everywhere. Now the Stylus has gone digital, with the new 300 model (shown; $399; 800-652-2666; olympusamerica.com) and 400 model ($499) featuring marvel-of-engineering compactness married to high-res digital optics (3.2 megapixels for the 300 model, 4.0 for the 400). Like their 35-mm. forebears, both feature all-weather construction (most notably, the nifty Olympus-trademark sliding lens cover that's part of the camera body) and idiot-proof controls, making them perfect for the beach and slightly tipsy backyard barbecues.

The Book, The Quest To Save Existence
Two epic quests merge into one as a group of strangers find purpose and strength, hoping to survive long enough to accomplish the impossible task before them, keeping the hunted Priest alive to right an ancient injustice, the banishment of his God. Across two continents, they elude their pursuers, as the powers of Heaven and Hell vie for control of the Prime Material Plain, only returning The Book, missing for uncounted eons, to it's rightful overseer can prevent the destruction that seems imminent. While the group itself only knows the Priest must succeed, not the destination that only he knows. Their only hope is that they are tough enough for the perils that await them when, and if, they arrive. The Paladin, sworn to protect Good, struggles with his misconceptions of the Thief and his abilities. The Thief, aware of the Paladin's unease finds ways to calm the sometimes over zealous Knight. The Wizard, just trying to stay alive, finds himself an unknowing pawn of two Gods, who's agenda only they know. And the Priest, who is torn between duty to his God, and the safety of those around him, feels damned by either choice. Only success is acceptable. Only faith can make it possible.adventure, demons, dragons, Fantasy, gods, magic, monsters

Liraglutide marketed under the brand name Victoza, is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog that has been developed by Novo Nordisk for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The product was approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) on July 3, 2009, and by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on January 25, 2010.
Liraglutide is marketed under the brandname Victoza in the U.S. and Europe. It has been launched in Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States.
Cancer concerns
On April 2, 2009, an FDA advisory panel reviewed the significance of malignant C-cell carcinoma and thyroid C-cell focal hyperplasia in rats and mice. Some say the tumors were caused by a non-genotoxic, specific receptor-mediated mechanism to which rodents are particularly sensitive whereas non-human primates and humans are not. The Victoza label carries a Black Box Warning, "Because of the uncertain relevance of the rodent thyroid C-cell tumor findings to humans, prescribe Victoza only to patients for whom the potential benefits are considered to outweigh the potential risk". The FDA said that serum calcitonin, a biomarker of medulliary thyroid cancer, was slightly increased in liraglutide patients but still within normal ranges, and it required ongoing monitoring for 15 years in a cancer registry.
Studies to date suggest liraglutide improves control of blood glucose. It reduces meal-related hyperglycemia (for 12 hours after administration) by increasing insulin secretion, delaying gastric emptying, and suppressing prandial glucagon secretion.
Liraglutide may have advantages over current therapies:
It acts in a glucose-dependent manner, meaning that it will stimulate insulin secretion only when blood glucose levels are higher than normal. Consequently, it shows negligible risk of hypoglycemia.
It has the potential for inhibiting apoptosis and stimulating regeneration of beta cells (seen in animal studies).
It decreases appetite and maintains body weight, as shown in a head-to-head study versus glimepiride.
It lowers blood triglyceride levels.
It has only mild and transient side effects, mainly gastrointestinal.
Liraglutide is a once-daily GLP-1 derivative for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. GLP-1, in its natural form, is short-lived in the body (the half-life after subcutaneous injection is approximately one hour), so it is not very useful as a therapeutic agent. However, liraglutide has a half-life after subcutaneous injection of 11–15 hours, making it suitable for once-daily dosing
The prolonged action of liraglutide is achieved by attaching a fatty acid molecule at one position of the GLP-1 molecule, enabling it to bind to albumin within the subcutaneous tissue and bloodstream. The active GLP-1 is then released from albumin at a slow, consistent rate. Binding with albumin also results in slower degradation and reduced elimination of liraglutide from the circulation by the kidneys compared to GLP-1

Since the day the first look of Porus came out, TV actor, Laksh Lalwani's career graph took a new leap. The hot hunk, who started his career from an MTV show soon spread his charm on big GECs. The Delhi guy was supposed to make his debut with reality series, Roadies, however, destiny had something else in store for Laksh!
In a span of two years, he has already associated with some big faces in the industry and now, with the historical drama – Porus, his job as an actor would be put to test.
In an exclusive chat with TellyChakkar, Laksh spoke about his career graph, his friend – Vikas Gupta's Bigg Boss diaries, his misinterpreted arrogance and ofcourse, his show Porus.
Excerpts from the interview…
The show is a big one for anyone who is part of the series. On how excited he is for the show, Laksh said, "I honestly feel that my graph as an actor has always taken an upward growth. I have always moved on to do better things in my career. I'm always experimenting and challenging myself. Porus is a huge responsibility on my shoulder. I can say that I'm totally ready with myself whether it is in terms of my looks, acting, body… everything."
Porus is a historical account of the clash between Alexander – The Great and the Indian warrior, Porus. While much is known about King Alexander, little is known about our Indian warrior. Afterall, to play such a mystical character is a task in itself!
"I am playing a character which not many people are acquainted with. People don't know who Porus is. On the basis of my portrayal, people will assume about the legend's personality. It's completely on me how I will portray Porus. That is the tough part!" Laksh accorded.
Laksh, who started his career with a multi-starrer show, later went on to bag a solo lead, then a character with grey shades and now he'll be playing a titular character. On his choice of picking characters, Laksh shared, "Whenever I pick a role, I never give priority to whether it is a lead role or not. What is important to me is how my character is being portrayed. To be honest, if Alexander was offered to me instead of Porus I would have done it with the same zest, excitement and passion. I would have loved it, appreciated it and welcomed it with open arms."
Siddharth Tewary, the captain of the ship, has helmed some marvellous projects in the past as well. With the launch of this show, comparisons are inevitable. Nonetheless, Laksh is not scared of it. He quipped, "I don't fear of competing against someone. I know my capabilities. But I am scared that it is a huge responsibility. Not because of the competition but because of the responsibility I have. I have a duty of carrying someone's dream. It was Siddharth's dream to make Porus; it is his baby. I had to nourish this baby with my hands and my efforts. While shooting, that was the fear and pressure I had! Having said that, somehow that pressure vanished, thanks to my creative team and Siddharth."
Talking about his personal life, a question that lingers about Laksh is the speculation of his arrogant nature. The eye-candy stays away from parties and social media which people often misconstrue as egotism. "That's exactly what happens with me, people think that I'm arrogant. "This guy has too much of attitude", is the first thing that comes to anyone's mind. That's how they take me. I'm not a big fan of attending parties or social gatherings. It's too much for me. I believe in simplicity. Once I pack up, I would like to go to my bed, maybe hang out with my friends at my place… that's enough for me. Honestly, there are a few people who act even after they pack up. But I prefer to not to; I like to get back to sanity. I want people to know me for my work and not how I'm in reality. People should know Porus and not Laksh. I'm very simple person I don't feel that I belong to Page 3 parties," Laksh added.
While Laksh is gearing up for his new show, his Godfather, Vikas Gupta (the producer of Laksh's debut show) is playing the game of Bigg Boss. Talking about Vikas' game, Laksh said, "I haven't seen Bigg Boss since we follow a hectic shoot schedule in Umbergaon. We don't get time for it. I don't know Vikas much but I'm sure he must be playing well. He is an intelligent guy."
Laksh, who has literally given his blood and sweat for the show is excited and confident about his innings. The big-budget series by Swastik Productions will surely be an experience not just for the actors but also for the viewers. Only time will conclude if Porus will be a game changer on television or not!

When actress Melissa McCarthy is getting dolled up and looking like a millionaire for a role, you have to stand up and notice. She is usually the lady in rage or killing ghosts, but in "The Boss" she is "The Boss".
The film is about an orphan Michelle Darnell who has been rejected by several families and finally she makes her own empire through the financial markets and now is the Queen of making money. She has only one enemy now and that too in the form of a dwarf and her former lover Renault.
Michelle is left bankrupt and has to fall at the mercy of her PA whom she has always treated poorly, Claire. Now it is up to Michelle, Claire and her daughter's muffin revolution to save the day for this once very rich lady.
We see Michelle as an ego maniac, who knows who to be the best sales person, quadruple millions but is zero when it comes to family and relationships because of her dejected childhood.
Melissa McCarthy is super loud and annoying at times, but paints a convincing picture of a dejected woman who falls and is rising back to success. Peter Dinklage is Renault, and this Game of Thrones actor is an completely new avatar- suave and stylish. He has a clever PA, who is one of the current tallest Hollywood actor's Timothy Simons, who is known for his role as Jonah in the TV Series VEEP. This interesting height difference is notable and credit goes to Director Ben Falcone who has done other McCarthy films such as Bridesmaids and Spy.
Kirsten Bell who is Claire plays a single mother and dress down lady unlike her powerful sassy character Jeannie in TV Series House of Lies.
The casting is clever, plot is cool but pace stagnates and too much explicit language so if you wanted a younger generation to learn a few good lessons, it will be hard for you to watch with them.

Why did you choose UPMC residency program?
I was attracted to the PM&R specialty because I connected with the patient care model as an interdisciplinary and holistic approach. I initially had exposure to Sports Medicine and concussion injury care through UPMC. Through that experience, I was introduced to PM&R specialists and their role in patient care. My knowledge of and exposure to the PM&R specialty during medical school helped me to realize the diversity of patient care experiences that the specialty contains. I felt that the PM&R specialty would best fit my personal philosophy toward patient care and help me achieve my career goals. I was drawn toward the PM&R residency program at UPMC because of the achievements of the department in the field. Also, I am a native to the Pittsburgh area and I saw the opportunity to train in the city where I was raised as a privilege.

Ambient Light vs. Colorful Uplighting
Reception lighting can be tricky and it really varies from person to person and from venue to venue. We try not to use flash on anything but the party since we feel that natural ambient light provides that warm intimate feeling you want. Market lights (string lights) are your best friend, they provide a beautiful ambiance and glow that will really enhance your photos. For the most part avoid colorful uplighting on the walls of your venue. Usually it casts an unflattering vivid color tinting onto skin and will quickly turn EVERYTHING the color of the uplighting. This can really mess up that stylish and timeless look of the wedding reception. Clustered candles, and LOTS string lights will be the best lighting for your reception photos to feel intimate and still very natural. If you really can't get string lights and feel like you need uplighting to illuminate your reception venue, then opt in for a neutral white color.
Warm Ambient Light
Colorful Uplighting
DJ Lighting
Clearly communicate to your DJ that you only want colorful lighting during the party dancing. I strongly advise turning off colorful lighting for the first dance and special parent dances. It detracts from a very timeless moment. I don't want you to look back and think "man this could've been a great mother-son dance photo if only Brenda's face wasn't speckled with purple party lights..." Other than that though, feel free to go crazy with party lights during dancing if you want. It can really add to that playful atmosphere (and guests love it when they're busting a move.)

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Economic pundits predicted October jobs data released Friday would pressure Congress to complete an economic stimulus package, but Democrats and Republicans still appeared far apart on the best way to shape an economic stimulus.
The Labor Department said payrolls were slashed by 415,000 last month, while the unemployment rate rose to 5.4 percent, the highest in nearly five years. See full story.
"A rapidly deteriorating employment situation is politically intolerable from Congress' point of view, thus raising the prospect of even more forceful stimulus," said Christine Callies, chief U.S. investment strategist for Merrill Lynch.
President Bush said the figures were "not good news for America" and called on Congress to finalize a stimulus plan that would "firm up and expand" the job base.
He praised the $100 billion economic stimulus package that passed the House last month as a good starting point and said Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill stood ready "to take an active role to expedite the process.
Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., chairman of the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee, said he was ready to work with the administration and senators from both parties to reach a deal.
But the balance of any package between tax cuts and added benefits for the unemployed appeared to remain a key sticking point.
Bush has drawn a line against new spending beyond $12 billion in grants to states to shore up unemployment and health benefits for displaced workers. Democrats contend those provisions don't go nearly far enough.
Baucus, who presented a draft of a $70 billion stimulus plan last month, has called for around $35 billion in added benefits for displaced workers.
In a statement Friday, the senator said a stimulus bill should be crafted to achieve two goals: reviving the economy and providing unemployed Americans with "straightforward and significant relief."
Democrats are resisting calls by Bush and other Republicans for a plan weighted more toward corporate and personal tax cuts.
"Democrats are proposing real help for laid-off workers while Republicans are pushing more tax cuts for wealthy individuals and profitable corporations," Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said Friday.
Joel Naroff, president of Holland, Pa.-based Naroff Economic Advisers, called for more spending-oriented measures.
"We are still waiting for a realistic, demand-creating stimulus package to come out of Congress. All we can do right now is hope people start feeling better soon," he said.
Bush has called for a plan centered on four elements: accelerated personal income tax cuts, rebates for Americans who pay payroll taxes but didn't qualify for this year's income tax rebate, repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax, and faster expensing of depreciation for purchases of capital equipment.
Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, earlier this week unveiled an $89 billion plan that stuck largely to those measures. Bush and Grassley have distanced themselves from some of the more controversial elements of the Republican-backed House bill, such as retroactive rebates of AMT credits and an effective cut in the capital gains tax rate.
Grassley on Thursday accused Democrats of playing politics with the economy.
"Democrats have turned up the partisan heat and are trying to torch any real plan that will help our economy and our country," Grassley said on the Senate floor Thursday.

In this article, the author looks at the state of project management education in India through the prism of his employer GAIL (India) Ltd , a Central Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas which currently has circa 4,000 employees.
The organization's vision is – "To be the Leading Company in Natural Gas and Beyond, with Global Focus, Committed to Customer Care, Value Creation for all Stakeholders and Environmental Responsibility" and its mission is – "To accelerate and optimise the effective and economic use of Natural Gas and its fractions to the benefit of national economy" are helping it propel to the next level of natural gas business in India and abroad.
The author is the head of Projects Department in the organization, and is currently an IPMA Level-A Certification candidate.
Why Project Education is required?
One of the major causes of lackadaisical performance in projects execution in India is the lack of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques related to project management. Many people think that projects don't need any expertise which is very much contrary to the truth. Project vocabulary, syntax and understanding are something which we cannot fully utilize if we don't treat it as a separate subject studied like any other field of education.
One or more of the project's triple constraints of time, cost and quality are often compromised due to less mature systems and processes in place. Of all the phases, project execution is the most affected which plays the pivotal phase in the project being branded as a success or a failure. The competency development through formal project management education at all the levels of project portfolio – junior level (Scheduler, MIS), middle level (Project Coordinator/ Chief Manager) and senior level (Project Manager/ General Manager) – is the need of the hour for improved project management. Many organizations including GAIL have taken proactive steps to train its manpower in project management.
To further underline the training deficit in India, the difference between certified project professionals available in India and China is highlighted by the figure on the next page.

I noticed the other message similar to this one, but I have a slightly more complicated problem. I was having problems with my system and I decided to use my recovery cd and start over from scratch because the problems were rather severe. However, after I used the recovery disk it wouldn't recognize my hard drive for whatever reason. To make a long story short I ended up installing Windows XP on my machine and now I can't access the software cd. It says "Searching for required components. Please wait..." and then won't go any further. Any suggestions anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated

♥Nutty banana cake. Decided not to make nutty seeded cupcakes because I quickly realised how rediculously foul that would be. However I chucked in shitloads of linseed, chia, lsa, walnuts, psyllium husk and macadiamia into a standard banana cake and it was great! Nom nom nom.
♥New computer! I got an upgrade a few weeks ago but now I have the final missing peice.. a mega huge screen that my brother "didn't need anymore". It is so huge.. like almost a metre I swear. My eyes kind of hurt when I am this close though.
♥Biggest pay check ever! As much as I hate to say it, it's really good to have money again! I locked it all right up into my wanderlust fund though because I am still not half way to what I need to leave in ermmm September!? 4 months!
♥Amy McDonald! I keep forgetting that I actually saw her last year and I wish I paid more attention at the time because now she is probaly going to be a good part of my winter soundtrack. Really pretty much any song about running away gets my approval these days.
♥The Office (US) Season 2! I have never seen it all but now I have it on dvd so now I can see Jim and Pam be cute again.

From the thoughts of Dan Layman, member Fit for Life 24 Apex:
In July of 2013, I began to have a deep conviction about the way I was treating myself and the quality of food that I was feeding my body. After speaking with my wife and sharing those concerns, we decided to eliminate all highly processed foods from our diet. No more fast food, no more boxed pseudo-foods, no more commercially designed additives; we started focusing on healthy! The immediate results were shocking. Within five weeks I had lost 25 pounds and was feeling better than I had in years.
That's when I walked into Fit for Life 24 in Apex asked the staff for guidance. I wanted to change my life for the better. I wanted to help my body function in the way God created it to, and I wanted to begin setting a good, lasting example for my young children and the people that I care for as a pastor.
Not only was Fit for Life 24 willing to help, but they have been instrumental in helping me lose almost 20 more pounds in just the last eight weeks. I am so grateful for my personal trainer, Josh Owen, who has been patiently working with me and pushing me to do better.
This is the journey that I am glad to finally be on! I still have a long way to go to reach my goal but with Josh's help and the encouragement of the rest of the good folks at Fit for Life 24, I'm confident that they'll be celebrating with me when I get there!
With motivation and support, I will have the energy to make it happen!

How To Build A Team To Run Your Mobile Home Park Investments
Mobile home park investors that are serious about succeeding need a team. Where do you start with building a great one?
In order to go big, win the long game, and enjoy maximum freedom along the journey it takes a team. The truth is that it takes a small army of professionals just to tackle a single family home deal. The benefits that team provides only grows the bigger your aspirations are for investing in and profiting from mobile home parks. Who should be on that team? How do you pick them? How do you forge a team that will really maximize your success and asset performance?
Core Team
Every investor ought to have these professionals in their corner:
- Real estate attorney
Most will find it helpful to round out their core team with a:
- Bookkeeper
- Mortgage-finance expert
- General manager
- Marketing expert
- Customer service rep
- Property scout
- Real estate advisor
Note that these are not all mandatory, and some will only apply to those acquiring multiple parks. In most cases they do not need to be in-house staff who are on the payroll full time. Think of most of these team players as flexible and on-demand professional assistants.
Market Specific Teams
Investors will also need market specific teams to aid them in their quest. These professionals have assist with one or multiple properties in a given area.
- Insurance agents
- Inspectors
- Property managers
- Contractors
Recruiting Success
Each role may have specific priorities. In different cases speed, efficiency, or personality may play a more important role. But whatever role you are interviewing or recruiting for quality will be almost invariably be more important than price.
Even more importantly it is crucial to ensure synergy in vision and values.
Do not underestimate this. No matter how large or small you plan to go; your success will rely on having alignment among your team. This first requires you as the leader to have clarity on your goals and values. Then ensure this is a part of the hiring process. Make sure that all hires and professional partners and vendors are genuinely onboard with where you want to go, and how you want to get there. Savvy leaders and organizations don't just have a stale and lifeless mission statement. They have a condensed, clear, and energizing document that is highly visible, actionable, and acts as a guide for regular decision making. Airbnb has its 'one sheet' and author John M. Bernard promotes the 'Now Fundamentals Map' and 'Now Breakthrough Map' as examples of simplifying, unifying, and driving traction toward the vision.
Scaling Success
Putting the right people in the right place creates a great foundation. Yet, all fluffiness aside there is a lot of value in building a strong community within your organization. Facilitate this with great communication, connectedness, occasional on-site visits, and rewards. Remind them what you are working to create, building unity as a team, and reward traction towards goals.
A part of this will certainly be creating systems, crafting a brand and generating business value as investments are scaled. The returns of this can go well beyond what the average real estate investor could expect to achieve.
There are many individuals and professionals that can help mobile home park investors in their ventures. Success lays in not only intelligent recruiting, but in fostering a collaboration that remains focused on your mission.

The Advantages of Rewarding Your Employees for Excellent Work
Employees who have diligently served an organization will appreciate it when their company recognizes his efforts to accomplish thing with their co-workers.
To solidify the company's awareness and affirmation of the things they hold valuable and highly prized, it is important for a company to recognize the contributions of its employees. Besides, as the saying goes: though we are wired differently, and not every social style needs public recognition, but even the most introverted person will appreciate being recognized for a job well done.
In response to being appreciated at work, and especially when it is expressed through a meritorious emblem, it fosters an employee's engagement and therefore boosts his productivity since an engaged employee is significantly more productive than an employee who is defused.
So if there are company efforts to praise and reward jobs that are well done, it not only helps motivate the employee to perform better, it also affects the other workers to work harder so that they, too, will receive one for themselves. There is nothing wrong with encouraging an employee's engagement in this manner.
Another results of companies expressing support for the efforts of their employees help the company in employee retention. And this is a big issue because a high staff turnover leads to poor morale that can make others want to look elsewhere. The value to retain an employee is less difficult than the effort that needs to be exerted to find a replacement and the training that goes with it. It is very costly to find and train new employees compared to rewarding good ones.
The brand of your business can easily be promoted by employees who are deeply engaged with the business rather than people who could care less about what happens to the company. By rewarding hard work, it no doubt would foster employee engagement and loyalty to the organization.
It must also be remembered that when we speak of output or productivity, it does not only mirror out the effort of the pacemaker or its leader, it also portrays that there has been a peer-to-peer cooperation that rest underneath it. Therefore there is a need to recognize not only the productive leaders but the people in the team who have contributed the most for this results. The point here is not so much about tenure but more about the positive effect attributed by an explicit participant that shapes a unique team. There is a great team that excludes mediocre workers. Working alongside each other is possible when this type of team is rewarded accordingly. This is what team culture is all about.

Alright I'll admit it. I am a Pinterest addict. I need my Pinterest fix everyday!
For those who have never heard of Pinterest, it is pretty much a virtual pinboard (hence "Pin-terest"). You can pin images from websites or you can repin images from other people. And I can tell you now, once you start pinning its very, very hard to stop! It gives you so many idea's and has inspired me to try many different makeup, hair, nail and fashion looks as well as a few DIY projects.
If you click on a picture on Pinterest, it will take you to the website the picture was found on.
If you click on a picture on Pinterest, it will take you to the website the picture was found on.
So, since I pin so much, I thought I would do a weekly overview of my favourite / most recent pins a selection of my boards (that is, if I can choose just one!)
(Click on the headings to go to each board)
My current favourite trend - bright lips with a simple black eye-lined eye. I thought I could never pull off the bright lip look as it always washed me out BUT - I recently purchased a very pretty bright pink lipstick and wore it out while I was away and LOVED it.
This was hard to choose because I pin ALOT of nail photo's but at the moment, I love the idea of these glitter ombre nails and cannot wait to try them out (hopefully this weekend)
LOVE love love this hairstyle at the moment. Once again, I never thought I could pull off buns because they made me look too young. And then I discovered these loose, donut buns on Pinterest.
Have I got you a tinsy tiny bit interested yet?? :)
Will definitely be wearing this look for summer. A cropped white top with a patterened short or long skirt. So so cute.
Things to Make
I think these DIY bracelets are super cute and if you watch Ingrid's (Miss Glamorazzi) video they are really easy to make.
You can find my all my Pinterest boards here.

TODAY'S AGENDA Why use Virtualisation OVM Overview Benchmarks Conclusion Why Revera Questions
BEFORE START REVERA is a IaaS leader provider in NZ with many different options and solutions available to fulfil any type of requirement. The results on this presentation makes only reference regarding Oracle Database performance when running on a virtual environment.
WHY USE VIRTUALISATION Consolidation of workload Hardware independence Enhanced high availability & DR options Better utilisation of overall CPU & RAM, ability to redistribute Overall significantly better value and better utilisation of resources
WHAT IS OVM Oracle VM is an enterprise-proven server virtualization solution comprised of Oracle VM Server for x86, Oracle VM Server for SPARC and Oracle VM Manager that is scalable, and a low-cost server virtualization solution for both Oracle and non-Oracle workloads that makes enterprise applications easier to deploy, manage, and support.
WHAT IS OVM (Cont) Because OVM is build by Oracle all Oracle products deployed in Oracle VM such as the Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle Applications, and Oracle Real Application Clusters and many others are fully supported and certified. OVM helps customers improve server utilization, achieve higher availability and achieve better performance while reducing costs.
THE ARCHITECTURE OVM Server – Based on the underlying Xen hypervisor technology – Management Linux Kernel with support of Devices (JeOS) – IO, Networking, etc VM – Guest OS with applications running on domU
MORE VALUE Key Benefits – – – – – – – – – – – – Application Aware Virtualization High Available and Scalable Easy and Efficient Centralized Management Fast Deployment and Standardization Application Driven Virtualization Soft and Hard Partitioning Support for Leading Enterprise Operation Systems Dynamic Resource Scheduling Integration with OEM12c Build by Oracle to Oracle and non-Oracle environments Only x86 server virtualization solution fully certified by Oracle and can be used with all Oracle Software Single Vendor Support, One call to Oracle; no finger pointing at another vendor
BENCHMARK Environment Preparation
SOME NOTES ON THE TESTING Performed in a lab environment, not on our actual Prod environment The trends are representative, but the numbers reflect the lab gear available at the time When we build VM service offerings they are tuned for general purpose IaaS workloads & use cases most common across customers We can tune for specific use cases, as this presentations will show
THE ENVIRONMENT Hardware – 3 DELL M610 with 96 GB RAM and 2 hexa-core processors each – OS: OEL 5.7 64 bit – Hitachi Storage (Fiber Channel Storage Array) Database – OEE 22.214.171.124 – SGA: 4864 MB – Redo: 7 Groups of 150 MB each
THE SERVERS VM's – 4 vCPU's each – 6 GB RAM each Virtualization Software – OVM 220.127.116.116 – Other Hypervisors Bare metal – 12 CPU's – 96 GB RAM

WHEN SCALING As you can see, without OVM you will have a full physical server with underutilized resources, but if using OVM, you will be able to virtualize it to host many Oracle DBs without loss of performance and making an efficient use of available licenses.
OTHER INFO • MANAGEMENT OF SGA MEMORY • SGA of 4864 MB • BM able to open 563 connections • Other Hypervisors able to open 523 connections • OVM able to open 567 connections
BENCHMARK Conclusion
MYTHS or TRUE • • • • • It is not safe to run Production Environments on OVM If using OVM your database will run slower Oracle do not support production DB on OVM OVM is more expensive than other Hypervisors Other Hypervisors run Oracle Database faster than OVM
CONCLUSION • • • • • Oracle Database performs better at OVM OVM makes a better use of available resources OVM is more scalable and stable for Oracle DBs OVM allows better consolidation of loads in a virtual environment PLUS OVM uses less CPU than other Hypervisors a bonus: Allow licensing savings, extra HA and is fully certified and supported by Oracle.

text: A key focus of the BGI department is the development of large scale terrestrial biosphere models (TBM) for a better understanding of biosphere-climate feedbacks, with particular emphasis on interactions between carbon, nutrient and water cycles. A highly important question in this context is the stability of soil organic matter under changing environmental conditions. However, soil processes, their parameterization and soil interactions with vegetation growth are still a major uncertainty in TBMs. Two active areas of research in our department are the effect of altered rhizosphere inputs on the microbial activity and thereby the organic carbon storage, as well as the control that of soil temperature and moisture have on the decomposition process. Our aim is to achieve a better representation of these nutrient and moisture effects on soil carbon storage and turnover in our soil model "COMISSION" (Ahrens et al. 2015), which is linked to the Earth system Model of the Max-Planck-Society. In this context, we are offering a PhD position on "Modelling soil organic matter dynamics" which may focus on one of the following two topics Project #1: soil moisture effects Modelling the effect of soil moisture on relevant processes (e.g. decomposition, adsorption, transport, root processes), within the COMISSION model Modelling the effect of soil organic matter on soil hydrology Applying the model to better understand soil organic matter along a gradient from well drained to poorly drained soils and analyse the emergent dynamics of soil organic matter and water-cycle Project #2: soil nutrient cycles Contributing to the further development of the nutrient cycle representation (carbon or nutrient limitation of microbial biomass, microbial carbon- and nutrient-use efficiency, stoichiometric constraints on decomposition), within the COMISSION model Investigating the effect of increased plant-based rhizosphere inputs under higher levels of atmospheric CO2 on soil organic matter decomposition and nutrient release. Evaluating the novel model using data from Free Air CO2 Enrichment experiments. Both projects include Designing and performing global modelling experiments Publishing in international scientific journals and presenting on national and international scientific and project meetings Your profile Scientific degree (M.Sc or equivalent) in a quantitative natural science (e.g. geo-ecology, environmental science, physics, quantitative biology, or applied mathematics) Interest in soil organic matter dynamics and global biogeochemical cycles, Very good programming skills or the ability and willingness to learn this quickly Good communication and organizational skills Good knowledge of English Research Environment: The successful applicants will join a creative, international team – led by Marion Schrumpf, Markus Reichstein, and Sönke Zaehle – in a vibrant research environment, encompassing experimental and theoretical work on the role of the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nutrients and water in the Earth system. The department has established an extensive network of international collaborations in Europe, the U.S. and Australia. Jena is not only famous for its high-tech industry, internationally renowned research institutions and a modern university, but also for its beautiful natural setting in the Saale valley with its steep limestone slopes. The climate is mild, and a large variety of plants grow in the close surroundings, including wine grapes and wild orchids. The city of Jena has a large active student scene supporting a diverse cultural life. The conditions of employment, including upgrades and duration follow the rules of the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Sciences and those of the German civil service (TVöDBund). Funding will be for 3 years with a salary equivalent to TVöD E13/57% (Collective Wage Agreement for the Civil Service – Bund). The Max-Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply. Application: Please send your application including a letter of interest, CV, and the names and contact information of two references, and any inquiries to szaehle at bgc-jena.mpg.de, with "PhD SOM" in the subject line. https://www.bgc-jena.mpg.de/www/uploads/Career/OpenPositions/PhD_SOM_Merger.pdf -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As the title of my blog clearly states, I'm all about "keeping it real", and that is the goal of this blog…showcasing the ups, downs, and randomness that an ordinary everyday girl might have.
With that being said, let's get this party started with a little story about my day.
I went to bed last night with some goals. Goals of *finally* starting my blog, goals of getting organized, and most importantly, goals of starting a new fitness routine. You see, I've been toying with the idea of adding strength training into my life. Up until recently, I was, how shall I say this….? A bit of a "cardio snob". I turned my nose up at strength training, and wanted no part of it. With my recent birthday, and therefore major wisdom that now comes with my ripe old age of *gasp* twenty-six, I've come to my senses and decided I want a balanced fitness regimen.
This morning, I woke up bright and early (darn you internal alarm clock, it's my "day off!"), laced up the 'sneaks and hit the road for the 5mi drive to the gym. This was my second attempt at this new gym (I recently moved in with my brother and joined his gym…another story for another time!) and second attempt with body pump. I was MUCH less apprehensive about the class, since I got my feet wet last week! Additionally, I was going mid-morning and knew I would be joining what I like to call the "rural housewives" (hey, I live in a very po-dunk town…rural is fitting!), and elderly individuals. I walk into class, and sure enough, my visions were spot on. I confidently grab my equipment (bench, bar, weights), take my place at the back of the room, and get ready to get my pump on.
About mid-way through the workout, I'm starting to "feel the burn". At this point, I'm convinced it's because I'm working SO hard….with my 10lbs of weights and bar. I'm feeling great! Confident! STRONG! I glance over to the cute little old lady next to me that could pass for my grandmother, who is clearly pushing 80, and my confidence bubble is immediately burst. Not only is she wielding her bar like there are pillows strapped to the ends, but she has MORE weight on than I do (by 10lbs!!!).
I try to keep my composure and finish the class strong, but besides my abs burning, my ego is SERIOUSLY hurting at this point.
I walked out of class knowing today is a day of change, and a great day to start the documentation of this change.
Although my ego is a bit bruised, and my gluts are screaming as I type this…I am beyond excited to get back to that body pump class and join my little elderly friend in getting and staying fit!
I hope you enjoyed my little story of the day. I can promise you this, there are many more where that came from! I'm just keeping it real! =0)

Other than age it additionally takes the right area (see: How regularly does a 24 hour locksmith go out around evening time?). At long last, it comes down to the abilities of the locksmith. A crisis locksmith must have a tremendous cluster of devices and a wide expansiveness of information. Past that, they should likewise have the capacity to investigate exceptional and testing issues. It is a high-stretch occupation that requires preparing, readiness, and creativity.

For the most part, no. Being a 24 hour locksmith implies that you are focused on helping the general population in times of crisis. The plan of action of the organization, or individual, may likewise make it difficult to turn down any work. A few special cases incorporate when the locksmith suspects that the occupation is a trick. Essentially, if the locksmith suspects that the occupation might be a setup, they may turn it down. Versatile specialists have been known not held up for their work vehicles, apparatuses, and negligible money. As a general rule, regardless of the possibility that some kind of injustice is suspected, a locksmith will even now accept the position. They may take another specialist to ride along, or simply be additional careful. Regardless of the fact that the work is turned around one locksmith, proficient civility would have them allude you to another organization or specialist. At the point when the locksmith is presently at another occupation, or is excessively occupied, they may likewise be compelled to turn down work.
