The 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship begins today. It is being held in Ottawa, and is the last major competition before the 2014 Winter Olympics.
The top two teams in Group A get byes to the semifinals. The bottom two teams in Group A play the top two teams in Group B in the quarterfinals, with the winners advancing to the semifinals. The bottom two teams in Group B play in a best–of–three relegation round.
Canada: All the home fans will provide enough support for us to pull through and win our eleventh title.
United States: This year’s final will be a repeat of the other fourteen, and the US will be in second place again.
Finland: Finland will continue its streak of playing in every bronze medal game.
Sweden: Since Sweden’s U18 team has recently been the third–best time at that level. It’s performance there will eventually “leak through” to the senior tournament; that is an inevitability. Now is as good as year as any for that to start happening.
Switzerland: The defending bronze medalists will finish in fifth this time.
Russia: They have an unofficial goal of winning a bronze at the 2014 Winter Olympics, but with only 500 registered players (far fewer than the top teams and a lower number than those big–time hockey powers of Japan, the United Kingdom, and Australia) the obstacles ahead of them seem too great. They cannot possibly show enough improvement in this tournament.
Germany: The Germans’ far greater experience at the top level will carry them through the relegation round.
Also, trivia alert! This tournament is the second time the second time the IIHF Women’s World Championship has been held there. The previous time was the first edition of the tournament, in 1990. At least this time Team Canada won’t have those pink uniforms!
The qualification tournaments for the final two spots for the 2014 Winter Olympics have concluded, and Germany and Japan have qualified. It is Germany’s first visit to the Olympics since 2002 and Japan’s first since they hosted the first tournament in 1998. It will also be Japan’s highest level of competition since they were relegated from the main tournament in 2009.
As for my predictions, I correctly predicted Germany, but was wrong with Slovakia. And in the meantime, Team Norway ought to avoid 3–0 leads of any kind….
Today marks the start of the final qualification tournaments for women’s ice hockey at the 2014 Winter Olympics. They both run through to February 10. The winners of the Group C and Group D tournaments get the final two spots in Sochi, and will join Sweden and Russia in Group B at the Olympics.
Group C is as follows, and is playing in Poprad, Slovakia.
Slovakia will probably win, but I can conceive of Japan or Norway also qualifying. This will be the highest–level tournament Denmark will have played in in several years, so they are probably in over their heads.
Group D is as follows, and is playing in Weiden, Germany.
This tournament is definitely the Group of Death. Germany is probably the favourite, but all teams have a realistic chance of qualifying for Sochi. The final ranking could well come down to tiebreakers. There will be no surprise winner here, as no matter who wins, it won’t be a surprise.
And my long time readers will notice that if my predictions come true, the 2014 Winter Olympics will end up being a virtual rerun of the 2012 World Championship, only with Switzerland and Russia changing places.
The first qualification tournament for women’s ice hockey at the 2014 Winter Olympics begins today. Group H consists of South Korea, the Netherlands, Poland, and Slovenia. The other preliminary qualification tournament, Group G, begins October 12 and consists of Denmark, Croatia, Hungary, and Spain. The winners of these tournaments advance to the pre–qualification tournaments in November. The winners of these advance to the final qualification tournaments in February, 2013. These winners get the final two spots in Sochi.
I doubt that there will be any surprises in the preliminary qualification. Denmark should easily blow away the competition in Group G. The Netherlands will probably win Group H. South Korea, who are entering specifically because they will be hosting in 2018, most certainly won’t win. I know this might be an unpopular view in some circles, but if their current position (Division II Group B [the lowest level]) continues, South Korea shouldn’t be given automatic qualification when they host. In 2012, they lost twice to the Chinese junior U18 team. Sorry, but if they play anyone from the higher levels they’ll be blown out, badly.
Update (2012–10–01): The Netherlands advanced.
Based on their finishes, Sweden and Switzerland have qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics, where they will join Canada, the United States, Finland, and Russia. The two remaining spots will go to the winners of qualification tournaments.
The 2013 edition will be held April 2–9, 2013 in Ottawa.
This is my prediction for the 2012 Women’s World Championship, which begins right now. Canada and the United States can be considered the “Big Two” of women’s hockey, and predicting them to reach the finals is always a safe bet. Finland and Sweden can be considered the “Little Two” and are usually the other medal contenders. The remaining teams are well–behind the top four (especially the top two), occasional upsets notwithstanding.
As for background, Canada and the United States teams have met in all of the previous thirteen finals. Finland has played in every bronze medal game. The only other team to win a medal was Russia in 2001. As much as I would prefer someone else to make the finals, I predict that the current streaks will continue.
Since I am Canadian I will be cheering for Team Canada. (Careful readers, noting this and my desire for some team other than Canada and the United States to make the finals, should deduce that I would like the United States to be upset [which has happened!]) If Finland or Sweden’s goalies pull a fast one there might be an upset. No one else has a snowball’s chance in hell of making the finals, and only a little better chance of winning a medal.
All four teams in Group A will qualify for the medal round. The top two teams will have byes to the semifinals, while the bottom two will play in the quarterfinals against the top two teams from Group B. The bottom two teams in Group B will play in a best–of–three relegation round. The loser is relegated to next year’s Division I Group A and will be replaced by the winner of the recently–concluded Division I Group A tournament, the Czech Republic.
The tournament will also update the IIHF World Ranking. That will determine qualifications for the 2014 Winter Olympics (more discussion next post). | 2019-04-23T22:33:46 | https://thewordsonwhat.wordpress.com/tag/2014-winter-olympics/ |

The country made famous by Borat (but don’t mention that to the Kazakhs!) is a land where you can ride on a train for three days without seeing a hill or a tree, it is a nation of which very little is known in the travelling community, and that is exactly its attraction.
Is an endless steppe landscape really the only thing there is to see in Kazakhstan? Of course not! In the south you have some of the best ski resorts of Asia, and in the west the Altay Mountains are just waiting to be discovered. This is a country that straddles two continents. Stand on a bridge in Uralsk or Atyrau with one foot in Asia and one in Europe. Gaze at the stupendous modern architecture of Astana, the new capital of Kazakhstan, which is gobbling up ten percent of the country’s GDP. Look into the past at Turkistan (aka Turkestan), and into the future at Baikonur. And watch the empty cranes idly swing above the dry seabed of the former Aral Sea in Aralsk, once the major fishing port. Contemplate the horror of the atomic bomb in Semipalatinsk, where the Soviets tested their nuclear weapons.
Another of the former Soviet Republics, Kazakhstan maintains a careful balance between Russia and the West. With one-third of the population of Russian ethnicity it has two official languages, Russian and Kazakh.
The Kazakhs are mainly Muslim, while the Russians are on the whole Russian Orthodox. Religious fundamentalism is mostly unknown in Kazakhstan.
Stroll around Almaty, the former capital of Kazakhstan, with its pleasant tree-lined boulevards, and don’t miss Zenkov Cathedral which was entirely constructed without nails!
As with other former Soviet Central Asian countries, getting a visa can be a hassle. Officially a lot of western countries don’t need a Letter of Invitation (LOI) anymore, but some embassies don’t know about it or refuse to acknowledge this rule and still might require you to show one.
Kazakhstan is expensive and it isn’t always easy to find a cheap hotel. Looking into other possibilities may be a good option to keep expenses down.
Police sometimes still try to extort money from foreigners. Keep your head cool and refuse politely or pretend not to understand what they are saying.
Trains are a good and economical way of travelling through Kazakhstan. Remember distances are vast, from Almaty to Astana takes 24 hours!

Congratulations on accepting your place on the Graduate Entry Programme! You will be joining around 50 others at the most successful medical school in the country, part of one of the best universities in the world! With at least 3 years of degree-level education behind you, you will be wanting to get right into the medicine.
We receive support from the Faculty Education Office or FEO for short. FEO counters are located at all of our various sites and we are all kept in the loop via email and the undergraduate intranet, our student-led Student’s Union, affectionately called ICSMSU is a student-elected committee that look after and represent the student body, with our President residing over everyone else. There are various officers encompassing differing roles that are listed on our contact page. I am your Academic Officer, looking after, broadly speaking, your academic needs this term, in terms of representation, concerns and questions. Between ICSMSU and GradMed Society, we will cover all your needs and wants whether it be educational, social or pastoral.
The Graduate course is very similar to the undergraduate years 1 and 2 courses. The content is exactly the same, but is sorted in a slightly different way, to accommodate the fact that you will be covering essentially two years in one. Fret not though, it is very manageable, but if you ever have any questions or concerns the first port of call is my email at [email protected]. If it’s urgent, don’t hesitate to drop me a text or a call on my number below. I am always available to talk.
Hello and many thanks to Usama for his great introduction to all things education! We at the GradMed society just wanted to emphasise that 1) this year isn’t as difficult as it may sound and 2) tonnes of educational support is available via the GradMed Society if you feel you need it. A slow and steady approach is all that is required to see you through most of the year! What’s more, grads are armed with at least 3 years of experience in refining their revision skills, so the final push for exams seems all the more manageable.
Many thanks and we look forward to meeting you!
This year has previously been referred to as the most difficult year you have ever had at university, but fear not many have survived! As the year group is so small (around 50) and the course is so intensely lecture based, a close knit community develops where you can moan and groan to one another; so you will have the support of people who know exactly what you are going through.
Days normally consist of lectures from 9am until 5pm (Wednesday 9am until 12pm) so by the end of the day you will have definitely has enough of staring at a screen! The course is based at the Hammersmith Hospital campus (confusingly NOT in Hammersmith!!) and you are pretty much the only medics based here so you will have plenty of facilities available.
Additionally you will take a module called Introduction to Clinical Practice (ICP), which will help to develop the understanding of why Patient Centred Medicine is important in modern day medicine. You will also have Problem Based Learning sessions (every few weeks), which will allow you to integrate your prior knowledge with information from lectures and other resources. It is also a chance to hone your research and presentation skills within the comforts of a small group (normally around 10).
There will be a summative assessment in the form of coursework which will cover Epidemiology, Sociology, Clinical Communication and First Clinical Attachment (of which all fall within the ICP theme).
On to dreaded exams… There will be a formative (mock) exam around February time so you can see how you are getting along with the course and to give you some exam practice; marks don’t count towards passing the year. The 3 summative (‘real’) exams are in May-June and consist of Single Best Answer Questions, Extended Matching Questions and Short Answer Questions. The intranet has an exams page with detailed breakdowns and dates of each paper.
If you are good at managing your time you will certainly have time to be able to take up some extra-curricular activities (of which imperial has several both medic exclusive and not), just make sure you keep one eye on those books…working consistently throughout the year will probably put you in the best position when it comes to passing exams.
A helpful presentation on how to survive the GE year 1 by Hamish Jackson, a former year rep, can be found by clicking here.
You will have an opportunity to run for one of the three positions of being your year’s educational representation in the weeks following Fresher’s. Year Reps are your number one port of call for anything educational.
Being a Year Rep for the graduate entry course is a worthwhile experience as the course is very new with you being the fourth year it is going to run. A lot has changed in the past 3 years as you will gather from other graduates, so please consider running for this role if you want to be the voice of your year.
Years reps attend termly student-focussed meetings called Staff-Student Liaison Groups (SSLG) where students can voice their opinions to the course leaders themselves. The Faculty of Medicine and ICSMSU pride ourselves on the strong relationship we have with each other and how changes actual occur from student feedback and suggestions.
If you are interested, please consider running. More details will follow in October.
CMS builds a solid foundation for the rest of your medical knowledge. It mainly covers the biochemical and molecular basis of medicine. This background knowledge will give you a better understanding of how your body works. The only way you’re going to know what’s wrong is by knowing how it should be normally. This theme covers the topics of: 'Proteins, Nucleic Acids & Gene Expression', 'Cellular Organisation of Tissues', 'Cancer and the Cell Cycle' and Metabolism.
One of the major differences between Year 1/2 and GEP is that you are examined separately for Anatomy. You start anatomy within the first week and have weekly sessions (the day changes often so keep yourself updated of the times) located at Charing Cross Hospital (in Hammersmith). You do dissections within your small groups where you actually get hands-on experience with a corpse. A demonstrator will guide you but you are the ones that actually do the work. This is considered by most, the best way to learn anatomy by getting really involved. Plus you remember these sessions more than lectures. There are also 'Living Anatomy Sessions', which are sessions where you use skeletons/models or yourselves to demonstrate surface anatomy and reenforce the teaching given in the dissection room.
This is the second part of the old PPP theme, the major topics covered here are: Endocrinology, Gerontology, Musculoskeletal, Neuroscience, Pharmacology and Reproductive Medicine.
Problem Based Learning/PBL is a group-based tutorial system guided by a tutor, which promotes students to take control of the sessions by formulating their own learning objectives and avenues of research from a given case study. Students then come back a week later and present their findings to their colleagues.
SBAs are essential multiple choice questions. However a couple of them may be right but the examiners are looking for the BEST answer.
EMQs is essentially a matching words/answers with a question or definition. You are given 10 options and 5 questions, however some options may not be used at all or more than once.
SAQs are marked out of 10 and have a layout very similar to A-level biology questions. They try to integrate different topics into the questions, with a leading 1 mark question that might be followed by a 9 mark or a 4 and 5 marked question. These are the ones people prefer as they can be less specific than the SBAs. | 2019-04-19T07:49:34 | http://www.icsmsu.com/exec/education/graduate-entry-year-1/ |
If you’ve ever gotten into a period of deep unhappiness for any reason you probably have an acute sense of just how valuable happiness is, and how elusive it may seem.
Even mild unhappiness can be a deeply miserable situation compounded over time. For years before I figured out what I was doing on this planet with my life, I suffered from low-grade blah constantly, something I now see was like a veil that I let keep me from really shining and living well every day.
For me, it was like floating. I avoided commitments of all kinds- from homes to relationships to jobs- because I didn’t really know where I belonged and I sensed that anything I picked up would be temporary. The veil lifted when I just started to explore my real interests rather than “ideas” and “thinking”. All I had to do was start doing more of what was interesting. I didn’t have to figure everything out to feel good. And then better. And better.
In my immersion Camps and I see people every day finding more small ways to create big happiness and none of them are grandiose or out of reach. I notice more of the dramatic switches because of the concentrated and close-knit groups and I see just how much these happy-making changes echo into the whole community.
Happiness is a lifestyle, a choice, something you can make more of and something to allow. Today’s feng shui is not just concepts but actual actions that can lead to a big mood boost in simple ways!
I love this list, except… well.. I think everyone’s a little put off by discomfort and a little afraid to fail… but when you’re happy, these vital risk-taking feelings are something to meet with open arms. Being in a space of the “usual” doesn’t really usher in the extraordinary, you know?
1. The one big lifestyle idea to start with: invest in experience.
The few hours of joy from finding a new dress or shoes or some product is minuscule in comparison to my trips recently to Chicago, Nicaragua, San Diego, New York, Asheville… Experiences are enduring. You don’t collect stuff, you collect a new rhythm of life and all it’s possibility.
Beyond travel, the best “investments” I’ve made this year are in healers, new-wave brain coaches, and Buddhism. And courses. And books. And yoga. All experiences.
I don’t really love buying “things”, especially after purging so many over the last years.
Do yourself a favor and do a big donation of some stuff you were excited to buy that you never really used. Put that stuff to good use. And now… do you really feel like buying more stuff? Plan a trip instead…!!!
2. Choose to be happier even if you feel “meh” right now.
Yes, all your tears and miserable times and anger is valid and real, but happiness is as much of a choice. This article in the Huffington Post puts an exclamation point of the science of “choosing” happiness.
Try a screensaver or a phone lock screen with an inspired saying like “choose happiness” on it so it’s in your face all day. Write it on a post-it. Put the message where you can see it so you’re actually actively in the swing of little shifts all day.
3. Color makes a huge difference.
While the color meanings and the way we process color psychologically differ from person to person, a simple chart like this one can get you thinking of how to tune up your wardrobe or your desk top or even your food to reflect more of a happy-making spectrum…!
4. Up your beautification game. There’s so much proof that when you take good care of yourself in a “ritual” way that it translates in your mood and confidence. You don’t need to compare yourself, you don’t need to be perfect and you don’t need to be self-punishing! All that said, a better face-cleansing ritual, a little three minute self massage in the morning or a minute of tinted moisturizer with sunscreen can be instant wow-factor. Whenever I switch up a beauty ritual toward feeling better, everything feels better. Presently: dry brushing skin is my favorite, second only to scalp massage!
5. Move a lot. Stand instead of sitting. Stretch in breaks. Walk more than you ever have. I know you heard this before, a thousand times, and so have I… but I still have to remind myself constantly because I don’t do it as often as I need to and it is instant happiness. Move, move, move. And get a fitness tracker for a while to make a game of that movement. Motion- as much as you can fit in your day- is the greatest.
Fresh views give you fresh ideas. Fresh choices bring you fresh energy.
You’re not broken even if you’re a little miserable right now.
Count your blessings, make new choices and start moving…!

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or foil. In a medium bowl, stir together 1/2 cup sour cream, cheese, bacon and green onion. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons into each pepper half. Unroll the dough (if using crescent rolls, firmly press perforations to seal). Press into a 12x8-inch rectangle. With a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough crosswise into 24 thin slices. Wrap one length of dough around each filled pepper. Place the filled side up on a baking pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, stir together the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush over the baked peppers. Place the remaining 1 tablespoon sour cream in small re-sealable food safe bag. Cut a small tip from the corner. Pipe the eyes onto each pepper. Add the sesame seed for pupils.

Hi everyone! Today I’d like to show you swatches of a flakie-filled stunner from Moonflower Polish. Sweet Dreams is a Limited Edition custom made especially for the facebook group Fantasmic Flakies.
Sweet Dreams is an indigo/blurple jelly base with red-pink-gold colour shifting shimmers and red-purple-gold-green crystal chameleon flakes. This polish was not made to be a stamping polish but I stamp with everything and as always Moonflower Polish delivers!
This polish is super opaque – I used two coats plus top coat. The shifty flakies are so stunning in that deep base!
I love how you can really see the flakies in the polish shift when stamped, especially on the chevron.
As I mentioned earlier, Sweet Dreams is custom made for the Fantasmic Flakies group on Facebook and you must be a member to purchase. All you have to do is join the group and make sure to leave your Facebook name in the notes at checkout if it’s different from the name you used to place your order. | 2019-04-20T01:03:59 | https://thedotcouture.wordpress.com/2018/04/22/moonflower-polish-fantasmic-flakies-april-2018-custom/ |
Thank you for taking an interest in the welfare of St. Mary's Church and welcome to the "Friends". Some of you will have joined at the launch in October, others as a result of our information leaflet and some by persuasion. Whatever the route, we share a common purpose to care for and maintain St. Mary's Church, Cricklade.
Those who were present at the launch and blessing on 10th October 1998 will bear testimony to its success. The congregation comprised past and present/worshippers at St. Mary's, and many of our Anglican brethren provided a touch of personal history to add to that of our historical researchers. It was a warm and friendly occasion much enjoyed by all.
The upkeep of ancient buildings is a costly business. The bell tower needs re- pointing and there is subsidence work to be carried out along the north wall. Repairs to ancient buildings have to be executed in materials appropriate to the age of the fabric, and by craftsmen skilled in this type of work. Such expensive work is beyond our means without recourse to grants from English Heritage and/or the Lottery. We are preparing our case.
I expect you know that the target for our appeal is £35,000. This represents a tidy sum for such a small community. Since October we have already raised £3,355 which consists of money from the collection at the launch, donations, membership of "Friends", an Italian supper evening and a share of the sponsor money raised by the bicycle ride in aid of "The Historic Churches of Wiltshire".
We have plans for Coffee Mornings, a Fete, an Auction and allowing the church to be used for other events e.g. recitals. As the organ needs an overhaul and we require abetter form of heating, money must be spent in order to raise money. We hope to be able to place our plans and estimates for the heating before the Diocesan Committee in March. As we expect the heating to cost more than twice the sum already raised, any other suggestions for fund raising will be much appreciated.
Those of you who regularly worship at St. Mary's will be aware that the kneelers have been padded and covered as a boost to comfort. This improvement is the first fruit of the Friends of St. Mary's Church. We hope it will encourage more parishioners to join our cause.
At the last committee meeting, it was decided that the accounting year will run from 2nd February, the Feast of Candlemas. Those of you who joined us so promptly will benefit from a few extra months free membership.
Finally, we look forward to a long and happy association with you all, and to seeing you at our fund raising events, details of which follow. The next newsletter will be issued in July.

When was St Mary's founded? This seems like an obvious point to start any history of St Mary's, but the answer is far from simple. The traditional sources that can help us to establish turning points in history - documents, pictures, commentaries by contemporaries - are all, unfortunately, lost to us or are silent on the subject of St Mary's in its earliest centuries. The architecture of the building we see today can give us enough clues to say that a substantial stone building was on the site by the end of the 11th century. The semicircular chancel arch with chevron or 'dog-tooth' carving is characteristic of the first great wave of medieval church building that swept through the country following the Norman conquest. In a modest way, the chancel at St Mary's recalls the style of some of the great cathedrals of the period - Westminster Abbey and Durham Cathedral, for example. However, we know that Cricklade itself dates back to the late 9th century when it was established by King Alfred. So does St Mary's also date from the Saxon period? To answer this question we must rely on the evidence of archaeology.
Ask an archaeologist to put a precise date on any significant event, and you are likely to be met with a nervous shuffling of the feet and talk of 'around', or 'possibly before' or 'at some time during'. It isn't just professional caution: archaeological evidence is simply like that. Often a significant point can turn on whether one muddy brown layer lies on top of another, implying that it must have been laid down later, or the other way round, implying that it must therefore be earlier. This is the case with the investigation of St Mary's. A 'dig' just outside the north wall of the nave in the 1960's made two significant discoveries. First there was a spread of soil that originally formed the earth rampart that was the town wall, which ran roughly east west along the north edge of the churchyard. Second there was evidence for a stone foundation beneath, and on a different alignment to the North chapel, where the organ now sits. The original excavator thought that the collapsed Saxon rampart lay on top of the old foundation, implying that there was an earlier stone building on the site before the Saxon wall collapsed. However, later authors have argued that the foundation may have in fact been dug into, and therefore be later than the collapsed wall. On this apparently minor detail revealed in a cramped trench thirty years ago rests the case for or against the Saxon origin of St Mary's.
Or does it? There is one hint in the documents that do survive from the court of King Ethelred almost exactly one thousand years ago. Ethelred made a land grant in 1008 to the Abingdon abbey near Oxford. Until recently, it had been assumed that this land was the Abingdon Court farm at the northwest corner of the town. However, it is now suggested that in fact the whole of the north end of the town (from Gas Lane northwards) was granted to the abbey. What makes this detail significant is the dedication of the abbey of Abingdon - it was St Mary's. What could be more natural than that the monks of Abingdon should dedicate a new chapel to serve the needs of the small community that they had acquired, and that they should dedicate it in honour of their patron saint? The defences of the town had just been restored by Ethelred a few years previously, and it may be that the land on which the church now stands, now no longer required for the defence of the inhabitants, was dedicated instead to the spiritual wellbeing of the community of Cricklade.
So, 1008AD, just before the end of the Saxon period is when St Mary's was founded - giving us nine years left to prepare for our very own millennium celebration. In future articles I hope to look at other aspects of the history of the church.
E.xtracts from a letter written by Mrs Holbrooke to Fr Richard Barton, and reproduced here with her permission.
My grandparents, Elizabeth and James Robinson regularly worshipped at St. Mary's. My parents, Albert and Lillian Robinson were also regular worshippers. My father was Churchwarden for over 30 years.
I was born in 1909 and baptised at this Church. At 8 years old I became a member of the Choir. At 12 years was confirmed here. I was appointed organist at 16, a post held until the amalgamation (of St Mary's and St. Sampson's Anglican parishes) in 1952 ( except when my daughter was born). In 1939 I was married here and my husband became Churchwarden with my Father.
My brother, Sydney James Robinson, was baptised here, was Choirboy, Server, Sexton and was responsible for winding the Church clock.
My sister, Audrey Brock, was baptised here, joined the Choir at the age of 7, remained a member until the amalgamation, then transferred to St. Sampson's Choir, where she remains a member at the age of 81.
What a tremendous family history of commitment to St. Mary's.
A frame on which to mount the frontal (we have an offer to make one ).
A place to locate the frame whilst the work is undertaken.
A few volunteers to cut the design from the silk and sew the embroidery onto its new background (embroidery skills are not required).
The whole process may take a considerable time as the embroidery is extensive, and much cutting and sewing will be necessary .

Are you embarrassed by how your feet look and feel?
Are you embarrassed by how your feet look and feel? Tired of dry and callused feet tearing your pantyhose? It's time to take back control with Ped Egg Power, the powerful solution in the palm of your hand!
The unit is not heavy duty. If I push it hard against my heal or and callous then it stops. It works a little, but not very well. It is not the wonderful tool that I was hoping it would be. I have had to go back to the old fashion way of using a pumice stone. Very disappointed. I wasted my money on this and on the refills.
The product does not work. It does not have enough battery power to work properly.
best used after a shower or bath then moisturize..
It works that's good thing. Your questions should be a bit more specific.
I really like that it is battery powered. Easy to control so as not to go to deep like the manual one. | 2019-04-22T17:09:56 | https://www.asseenontvlive.com/product/ped-egg-power?transfer= |

Northern Utah Youth Symphony - Brigham City, Utah, USA: Please reply! Thanks!
I was so pleased with last Saturday's rehearsal. It really felt like we made good use of our time, and the Schubert is sounding great! We will be handing out at least one more piece (for the April 16 final concert) this Saturday, but we will still focus almost exclusively on the Schubert for Abravanel Hall for the next two rehearsals. I will send a separate email with the schedule and other information for Abravanel Hall.
Thanks to all of last Saturday's sectional specialists. You all did a fantastic job! Having "new blood" around really energized me. I hope it did the same for you.
This Friday is the Gala, 6pm, Brigham City Senior/Community Center, 24 N 300 W, Brigham City. The silent auction and door prizes will be awesome, and don't forget to buy raffle tickets. Paradise Furniture has donated a recliner - the winner of the raffle gets a certificate and goes to the store to choose their own color for the brand new chair (it will not be the floor model). Tickets for the raffle will be $1 or 6 for $5. Silent auction items are plentiful. It's going to be awesome, but you need to bring your neighbors and friends so that the fundraiser is successful. There's nothing like trying to squeeze blood from a turnip!
I will be making phone calls tonight to everyone who hasn't notified me about tickets. We need numbers for the Caterer by Wednesday.
Save me a phone call and send me an email, K? This is going to be a wonderful dinner and the Silent Auction is going to be stupendous. I have asked each student to try and sell 4 tickets. Please put an extra push on it today!
It takes a great rehearsal with good attendance (like last Saturday) to really show me why I put so much time and effort into this. | 2019-04-22T06:23:59 | https://www.northernutahyouthsymphony.org/2011/02/please-reply-thanks.html |
Although it’s not entirely clear whether “struck to obsolescence” means wholesale deletion of verses, the manifesto was perceived as a call to abrogate Muslims’ holiest text. And although pushing for a theological reform of Islam in France is nothing new—everyone from leading imams to President Emmanuel Macron have made plans to restructure Islam—demanding that scriptural verses be deleted is another thing altogether. In Islam, the Quran is considered divinely revealed; because it’s deemed to be the word of God, altering or deleting any part of the text would be blasphemous.
The manifesto came a month after the grisly murder of Mireille Knoll, an octogenarian Holocaust survivor who was stabbed to death in her apartment in an act authorities are calling an anti-Semitic crime. Last year, Sarah Halimi, a 67-year-old, was beaten to death and thrown out of her window, in the same area where Knoll lived. Her attacker yelled “Allahu Akbar!” as he committed the act; Knoll’s reportedly did the same. It took judicial authorities nearly a year to label Halimi’s death an anti-Semitic crime.
France is home to the largest Jewish community in Europe. Since the early 2000s, French Jews have seen a rise in anti-Semitic acts, and although 2017 saw fewer overall incidents than 2016, those that did occur were more violent in nature. This wave of violence is part of what the manifesto’s signatories call a “new anti-Semitism”—new in that it is perpetrated not by the far right, but by French Muslims. The manifesto denounced what it characterized as the government and media’s refusals to recognize this “Muslim anti-Semitism.” It also labeled as “low-volume ethnic cleansing” the trends that have forced Jewish families to change neighborhoods, leaving suburbs, or banlieues, that are home to significant immigrant populations, and to pull their children from public schools.
The manifesto generated an immediate outcry among Muslims in France and beyond, with critics labeling its usage of the phrase “low-volume ethnic cleansing” hyperbolic and accusing it of homogenizing all Muslims. Days after the manifesto’s release, 30 imams signed a counter-letter in Le Monde. The Observatory for Islamophobia, an organization affiliated with the Egyptian government, described the manifesto as “hateful racism” that proves that “France is not a land that welcomes Islam.” The proposal to abrogate certain verses of the Quran was most controversial of all.
Tareq Oubrou, the prominent French imam who oversees the Grand Mosque of Bordeaux, called the characterization of the Quran “nearly blasphemous.” Viewing the scripture as anti-Semitic, he told me, is the falsified interpretation promoted by the very radicals France seeks to combat: “ignorant Muslims who remove texts from their historical context.” Furthermore, the notion that anti-Semitism is built into Islam is “theologically false,” he added. As monotheistic “People of the Book,” Jews and Christians enjoy a special status in Islamic law. Historically, they were considered protected dhimmi communities, which meant they were allowed to practice their own religions, although they were subject to a tax and various indignities that symbolized their subordination to Muslims.
Rather than calling for absolute violence, Oubrou said the Quran advocates for a “defensive combat, against aggressors, within a historical context.” For instance, one verse says, “Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture—[fight] until they give the jizya [tax] willingly while they are humbled.” The Quran, like many scriptures, is internally inconsistent on this and other matters. Oubrou argued that the problem is not religion itself—it’s that through radical, literalist interpretations of the Quran, “delinquents use the religion as a veneer for cheap crimes.” By demonizing the Quran as a text that contains anti-Semitism, he said, the manifesto casts a shadow on an entire religion, glossing over the role of interpretation and the other factors driving some young Muslims to develop hatred toward Jews.
Oubrou and Dlioueh were among 30 imams who signed a letter in Le Monde voicing indignation with “the confiscation of [their] religion by criminals,” a reference to those who preach violence, from certain Salafi imams to online recruiters associated with groups like the Islamic State. The authors expressed the consternation they feel—as both French citizens and Muslims—as they watch “Islam fall into the hands of an ignorant, disturbed, and idle youth” who have become “easy prey for ideologues” preaching hatred and inspiring anti-Semitic violence.
Although the letter was published amid a heated debate over anti-Semitism, the conversation about Islam’s theological role in driving terrorism isn’t new. As France has struggled to grapple with terrorist attacks—often at the hands of nationals—scholars have clashed over what exactly prompted young men to kill concertgoers at Paris’s Bataclan theatre in November 2015 or drive a truck into a packed promenade in Nice the following July. Are jihadis devout Muslims who see violence as a religious obligation, or are they rebels—petty criminals and dropouts dismayed by their socioeconomic hardships—in search of a cause?
The answer is likely some combination of both; jihadist terrorism neither has nothing to do with Islam—as some have said following attacks while urging against scapegoating of Muslims—nor is it an exclusively religious phenomenon. This debate aside, the Le Monde letter was a recognition that, despite the nonreligious factors driving violence in the name of Islam, religious authorities have a role to play in fighting it.
Dlioueh stressed the importance of an “enlightened Islam”—and he considers it his daily job to foster that. “Imams are a shield against radicalization,” he said, and “we’re already working to that end—to promote tolerance, on the ground in rough neighborhoods, in our Friday sermons.” Rather than deeming certain verses dangerous, he said, Muslims should consider the entire text open to interpretation, and look to history as a reference for peaceful coexistence among Jews and Muslims (for example, in the Ottoman Empire).
Oubrou promotes what he terms a “preventive theology” that takes into account why so many young people are vulnerable to what he calls “erroneous interpretations of the Quran.” He acknowledges that any religious text can be used to justify violence; the goal is to recognize the source of that manipulation, and why it becomes so compelling.
The Quran, Oubrou said, can become a “pretext” to legitimize deeper feelings of disdain for Jews, which themselves can be fueled by a host of external factors—including social exclusion, a sense of being dominated, conspiracy theories, and a misinterpretation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The last one, he said, “has been transformed into a religious cause by both sides,” enabling it to be grafted onto the way Muslims and Jews see each other in France. | 2019-04-20T10:57:07 | https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2018/05/france-delete-verses-quran/559550/ |
Zouk, or Zouk-Lambada Dance is a Brazilian partner dance style.
It is danced to 4:4 time music, with the movement emphasis on the extended 1 count, and transitions and styling on the 3 & 4 counts.
It's one of the more complex dance styles, in that it is highly dynamic, operating in all 3 dimensions with a lot of counterbalance and physicality.
The range of music used for zouk is enormous, everything from classical to hip-hop to pop music, and allows are an intense range of feel and styling.
Zouk has gained popularity worldwide, and in practiced and performed in both "freestyle" and choreographed forms.
Freestyle. None of the movements are planned in advance, and event the music may not be known before it begins. The dancers may never have even heard it before. The leader in the dance must be very decisive and clear, and the follower very responsive and aware, for the dance to work.
Choreography. The music, and all of the movements are planned in advance by both partners. Each knows exactly what will happen next. | 2019-04-20T20:21:38 | https://www.brojo.org/info/zouk |
Given a large-scale linked document collection, such as a collection of blog posts or a research literature archive, there are two fundamental problems that have generated a lot of interest in the research community. One is to identify a set of high-level topics covered by the documents in the collection; the other is to uncover and analyze the social network of the authors of the documents. So far these problems have been viewed as separate problems and considered independently from each other. In this paper we argue that these two problems are in fact inter-dependent and should be addressed together. We develop a Bayesian hierarchical approach that performs topic modeling and author community discovery in one unified framework. The effectiveness of our model is demonstrated on two blog data sets in different domains and one research paper citation data from CiteSeer. | 2019-04-23T12:27:36 | http://videolectures.net/icml09_liu_tllda/ |

Headaches are an incredibly common condition that affects millions of people every day. There are several different types of headaches – all of which vary in terms of intensity and duration. One of the most painful and debilitating types of headaches is the “cluster headache.” Cluster headaches are a rare type of headaches that affects “less than 1 in 1,000 people” (www.webmd.com). These types of headaches typically last a short period of time; however, they are extremely intense.
There are several factors that contribute to cluster headaches. According to WebMD, “cluster headaches are more common in people who smoke or are heavy drinkers. During a cluster period, you’ll be more sensitive to alcohol and nicotine – just a bit of alcohol can trigger a headache.” In our clinical experience, chocolate may also be a factor that will trigger cluster headaches. A neurological component may be a factor as well.
There are several approaches to treating cluster headaches.
The primary approach that the majority of Americans take is medication. Most of these medications are classified as triptans, with the most popular one being sumatriptan (Imitrex). However, it is a well-known fact that all medications produce undesirable side-effects.
The second option that is recommended for people who are dealing with cluster headaches is oxygen therapy. Oxygen therapy provides relief to most people; however, this is a temporary solution to the problem.
Surgery may be considered as well. The goal of the surgical procedure is to block the nerve conduction of the trigeminal nerve. This option is only considered when all other option have been exhausted, due to the fact that the risk of infection or hemorrhage is high.
The best approach to cluster headaches is neurologically-based chiropractic care. In many cases, there is a neurological component behind why a person is dealing with cluster headaches. Before trying more invasive and aggressive treatments, consider a thorough examination with one of our doctors. We will be able to definitively tell you if we can help you or not. | 2019-04-22T02:13:59 | https://www.abundantlifechiropractor.com/cluster-headache-solutions-chanhassen/ |
"Bliss Beach" is a beautiful, popular beach located within DL Bliss State Park. It is composed of two parts: the north portion is known as "Lester Beach" and the south portion is known as "Calloway Cove". This area is the northern portal to the famous Rubicon Wall, one of the deepest portions of Lake Tahoe, and the popular Rubicon Hiking Trail. It is adjacent to DL Bliss Campground. Beach goers can expect a gentle beach; however, there is no designated swim area and boat traffic is common. Arrive early, since the beach parking fills daily, often by 11:00 am. Once filled, visitors are not allowed to drive into the park, and must walk approximately 2 miles from the highway to the beach. No pets are allowed on the beach, and no fires are allowed anywhere outside of designated campsites. The access road is narrow and the parking is restricted, so trailers are not advised. The beach is adjacent to private property beaches, so be respectful of neighbors and remain on park property. | 2019-04-24T05:59:17 | https://www.gotahoenorth.com/listing/d-l-blisslester-beach/ |

Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada is facing a major crisis right now: a massive wildfire that has prompted the largest fire evacuation in the province's history. Over 88,000 residents were ordered to evacuate the fire that is even taking out parts of downtown. Our hearts go out to all of those affected - we know how terrifying it must be but the safest bet is to leave and to leave early during times like these.
"According to the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, 80 per cent of the houses in the neighbourhood of Beacon Hill were destroyed by the powerful blaze.
Firefighters say they are preparing for a “worse” day Wednesday, anticipating strong winds and dry conditions to feed the already out of control 7,500-hectare-large inferno.
All 105 patients were evacuated from the local Northern Lights hospital within two hours, officials said at a news conference." | 2019-04-20T01:09:04 | http://www.hawaiiwildfire.org/news-center/fort-mcmurray-fire-photos |
Goldman Sachs’ startup, Circle, has announced that it plans to launch its own crypto. The new currency will be called Circle USD Coin, and it will serve as the US dollar’s digital version. With this currency, users will be capable of paying for pretty much any goods or services that they want.
This coin is the first crypto to ever be released by such a big financial institution. Despite the fact that this opposes the entire concept of decentralization, it might still have some positive impacts on the crypto market in general, not least of which would be its inherent and anticipated stability, something the market needs at this point. In 2018 alone the market has experienced numerous crashes and periods of recovery.
CNBC has reported on this new development and, according to them, Circle will be tied to the US dollar in order to avoid instability, something which every other crypto is subject to since they are largely unregulated.
This decision was greeted with mixed feelings from crypto enthusiasts, with some pointing out that centralized crypto is the very opposite of the reason why cryptos have been created in the first place. Despite the likelihood that introducing a crypto like this might inspire more effort when it comes to bringing regulation, many are still saying that a crypto based on the US dollar needs to have a strongly controlled distribution. One of the loudest voices regarding this issue includes Sam Altman, a Silicon Valley investor.
How to acquire Circle USD Coins?
Cryptocurrencies can usually be acquired via purchasing, trading, or crypto mining. When it comes to Circle’s coins, mining will not be possible. The coins will be using Ethereum’s platform for now, but they still cannot be mined. Instead, the only way to acquire them is by purchasing them from Circle. The token’s value will be equal to that of the dollar, which means that paying $1 will get you 1 dollar-coin. This system will only allow people to use cryptos to make their payments, instead of using credit or debit cards, or alternatively, cash.
Even though many do not see the point in doing this, it may make sense from Goldman’s perspective. After all, the bank would like to keep the market under control, especially since they have already invested in the crypto world. Not to mention the announcement that they made regarding the possibility of trading Bitcoin (BTC) in their investors’ names.
The only thing that Circle’s tokens will achieve for now is the introduction of a stable, secure crypto. Despite the fact that it doesn’t have an obvious practical purpose as of yet, it might warm up more people to the idea of using cryptos. Also, if it helps stabilize the market, that would be a big plus too. | 2019-04-19T03:20:25 | https://cryptocoin.news/news/altcoin/goldman-sachs-launches-a-new-crypto-the-circle-usd-coin-13466/ |

If you were in our dressing room after the game, you would see that we were absolutely devastated to lose the game, the players. We faded in the game and we could see that in the last part of the game we had a lack of movement to create risky situations.
LaBrittney Jones led 11th-seeded Arizona (13-19) with 15 points. "Anybody who does their homework about teams who play well in March, they control it with defense and rebounding", Close said. Oregon: The Ducks clinched the No. 1 seed for the Pac-12 tourney in Las Vegas. Home teams are 75-28 in conference play this season, the best mark in the country, and the Bruins were poised to improve on that at times Wednesday.
Today, I am excited to be outside Houston to host a special member day for the official opening of The Playgrounds and The Place at Bluejack National. While Woods gave no indication of when he'll return to tournament play or even to full practice, he sounded like a golfer intent on making it back.
Seattle Seahawks' Jermaine Kearse "looking to find new home"
Based upon Schefter's report, the athlete has determined, presumably based on his agent's conversations with management that his best financial opportunity is elsewhere. The experiences he encountered growing up in a military family led him to establish a special foundation a year ago known as 15 to 1: Jermaine Kearse Foundation to support and inspire military youth.
Law enforcement said Jacob Sanders - a bass player for Velcro Pygmies - and his brother Jeremiah's boat was found Wednesday. The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office told multiple news outlets that 29-year-old Jeremiah Sanders and 24-year-old Jacob Sanders of Florence were identified Thursday. | 2019-04-26T05:57:31 | http://nysepost.com/sport/page212/ |
The name may be Biker Church, but the Wylie house of worship welcomes people from all walks of life, especially those who have drifted away from religion.
Franklin started the church 11 years ago in Westminster, conducting services in a bar and grill, moved to Plano for about five years and moved to Wylie four years ago. The church moved to a new location at 303 Hwy. 78 in December 2018.
“To go to a bar and start a church was pretty brave,” Franklin pointed out. | 2019-04-21T08:11:15 | http://wylienews.com/2019/02/06/biker-church-members-share-love-of-motorcycles-god/ |
Well that's because i didn't interact with them either. All i did the entire game was mana ramp. They were beating each other up because they all had creatures in play.
Yeah, but they let you ramp AND have Riku in play for two whole turns. If you also had cards in hand, that's just silly.
If a Riku player has been doing nothing all game but ramp, that to me is a pretty good reason to smack him around a bit... if nothing else blow up the Doubling Cube. Great googly-moogly. | 2019-04-21T08:06:26 | http://forum.mtgcommander.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=12382&start=15 |
The first wrestler to change rosters as part of the 2018 Superstar Shakeup was Jinder Mahal. He came out on RAW with the United State title and demanded to be treated like a superstar. Unfortunately for him, that meant facing the returning Jeff Hardy and losing his title. Mahal complained the next week about the loss while telling some cringe-worthy jokes to Chad Gable. This led to a match between Mahal and Gable which Mahal dominated but lost on a fluke flash pin. To see how much that win meant to Gable (and the loss to Mahal), neither man crossed paths this past Monday night on Raw. Not only that, but Gable didn’t even appear on the show. Granted this isn’t the first time, WWE has forgotten something from one week to the next, but it points to the use of a Mahal as being similar to that of another star from years ago, Kane.
Much like Kane, Mahal started with some less than stellar gimmicks in the WWE. It took a while (and some serious umm…..growth) for Mahal to move up the card. However, once that move started it took off like a rocket. He won the WWE Heavyweight Title and proceed to defend it successfully against the likes of Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and Nakamura. Maybe defend is too strong a word. He held on to the title with the help of the Singh brothers on multiple occasions. The logic at the time was that Mahal was positioned as the champ due to an upcoming tour of India. However, when ticket sales didn’t explode with Mahal as the champ, he lost the belt to Styles and was put into the US title scene. He won the belt and held onto it until the Superstar Shakeup.
With that history lesson out of the way, the fact that Mahal can now be billed as former WWE Champ and former US Champ gives him instant credibility, at least in the WWE’s eyes. Any singles match with Mahal will have the announcers referencing those credentials as a way to “build him up”. How this is similar to Kane is that due to Kane’s longevity and multiple title wins (1 WWE Title and 1 WWE World Heavyweight Title), he was often cycled into the main event title scene every year or so. His other role was to be a challenger for an up and coming star. WWE would often sacrifice someone younger and more talented (see Finn Balor) to Kane in order to “heat Kane up” for either a title challenge or a match with a big power wrestler.
Watch how Mahal is handled over the next few months on Raw. Once Reigns or Strowman take out Lesnar, Mahal will likely be “heated up” as an early contender. Oh look, Mahal is on the same show as Balor and other more talented and marketable wrestlers that Mahal can get wins over so he can lose to Reigns/Strowman in a title match. Sound familiar? But, but, but, Mahal is a former WWE Champ and US Champ, losing to him won’t hurt anyone’s standing. That’s WWE logic for you, wins and losses don’t matter unless it fits their narrative. By that thinking, Mahal shouldn’t have to beat ANYONE to get a title shot, yet WWE will utilize guys like Balor or Matt Hardy to put over Mahal because he needs the wins to look like a legit contender. My brain hurts!
Someone with Mahal’s “credentials” could serve a useful role as gatekeeper to the main event scene. Keeping him fairly strong with wins over lower card wrestlers (paging Titus Worldwide) and tag wrestlers in singles matches could have him ready to step into bigger matches with wrestlers moving up the card without having to burn talent that should be above him in the pecking order. Even having him in 6 man matches with the Singh brothers where he gets the pin for his team, would serve to make him look strong without having to prop him up with a lot of singles wins. | 2019-04-26T01:44:53 | http://theguyblog.com/jinder-mahal-new-kane-wwe/ |

Network Foundation Technologies (NiFTy) recently received notice that two of its already U.S. approved patents were approved by the European Patent Office. NiFTy has developed a portfolio of patents which protect its innovative online distributed broadcasting technology.
NiFTy's first patent filed in 2001, was issued in 2006.
NiFTy's innovative approach to online broadcasting dramatically reduces the costs of online broadcasts (by 75% and higher) enabling larger online audiences to be reached, while ensuring excellent quality of service. NiFTy's distributed broadcasting technology is effective for not only streaming video and audio, but for any type of broadcast data currently being used including software patches and new technologies like "Pico Cell" phones, etc.
As the content industry struggles to optimize bandwidth costs in the ever important video streaming market, as seen by the NFL, MLBAMAmazon, and the unprecedented re-encoding of its entire catalog by NetFlix, the NiFTy IP portfolio remains the go to proven international solution for any competitive streaming aggregator or Software Defined CDN.
NiFTy's original patent, which forms the foundation of the company's online broadcasting portfolio, dates back to 2001, demonstrating more than a decade-long commitment to innovation in the online broadcasting industry. In 2011 NiFTy won a prestigious award at the White House for its technology's ability to reduce server cost and make streaming "green". By lowering the energy footprint in the fastest growing tech sector, streaming, and NiFTy has the potential to make a positive global environmental effect. Nifty was also selected by the National Science Foundation (www.nsf.gov/about) for its revolutionary technology, and was singled out for awards on three different occasions.
In the years after the release of its original client/server application, NiFTy's management decided that they were just too early and so "in front of the market" that it was better to focus its resources on the patents and IP development, so they "mothballed" the working product/application after tens thousand plus.
With this focus, NiFTy now has the most important patent portfolio for live streaming with 14 issued U.S. patents and now 2 International/E.U. patents (one of these international patents just received was filed for in 2005) and these are the patents that describe how NiFTy's technology (vetted by the NSF and many early customers) saves over 75% of the bandwidth when live streaming - and the larger the audience the better-unlike "traditional" live streaming. And more recently, two other Canadian patents have just become set to issue. Bringing our count to 14-U.S., 2-E.U. and 2-C.A. issued patents with the others filed in Canada, Europe and China waiting on approval.
With these recent filings, NiFTy is well positioned to aggressively defend its patent portfolio and add value as evidenced by the results of a recent lawsuit where a jury awarded the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) $234 million in damages after successfully demonstrating that Apple used performance-improving processing technology in its A7, A8 and A8X chips (used in Apple's products including the iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s and several versions of the iPad) that the foundation had patented in 1998.
At this time, efforts are underway to relaunch the working technology on all smart device platforms including Android, Apple and Windows products. NiFTy's technology is scalable on these multiple platforms thus can be implemented across virtually every known network.
Network Foundation Technologies, LLC ('NiFTy')'s patented technology overcomes the scalability and cost bottlenecks associated with online broadcasting, enabling the company to bring large-scale, cost effective, high quality broadcasting to the Internet.

Ringdale has reinvented the fax communications process with the ModuLAN FaxReceiver MFR-201, which connects to any phone line and Ethernet network and converts incoming faxes into e-mails. This small device is the solution for busy office environments that want the convenience of checking incoming faxes on their computer screens as well as the satisfaction of being able to eliminate unwanted or spam faxes with the click of the delete key.
Direct savings by reducing waste significantly, and can produce an ROI of less than a year, based on approximately 20 spam faxes a day @ 0.07 cents per page for 365 days a year, totaling direct savings of US$511 per device.
Indirect savings in efficiency could be even higher from personnel no longer wasting time reading unsolicited advertisements in the fax machine.
Faster communication as the document no longer needs to be collected from the machine but arrives immediately at the administrator's e-mail inbox. Mail servers can be set up to copy more than one person, so e-mails may be picked up while on the move.
Increased security since FaxReceiver can be located in the Telephone or the Computer Room, away from everyday hazards or malice.
Easy distribution as each page is an attachment in the e-mail that can be easily re-distributed or used for input into other applications or archived.
Simplified Archiving by configuring the FaxReceiver to convert incoming faxes to PDF files and forwarding them to any FTP server for secure archiving or distribution.
Very low power consumption and high reliability, as there are no moving parts to be maintained or paper to be supplied. On average only 20% of business communication in electronic format is actually printed out, resulting in further savings.
Choice of PDF or GIF format ensures that the format of the e-mail attachments matches your system requirements. Order the version of product that supports your desired format, MFR-200 for GIF format, MFR-201 for PDF format.
FaxReceiver's PDF e-mail attachments are now iPhone compatible, essentially allowing you to view incoming faxes as PDFs on your iPhone™ -- anytime, anywhere!

The 16-day government shutdown may have ripple effects throughout the government�s weather and climate programs. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has begun assessing whether the shutdown will cause further delays to its already troubled development of the next generation of weather and climate satellites. The satellites, which were already running billions over budget and years behind schedule before the shutdown, are considered critical to maintaining the accuracy of U.S. weather and climate forecasts.
Before the shutdown, the country was already looking at a likely gap in critical weather satellite coverage starting in about 2016, which experts say will result in less accurate weather forecasts. Prior to the shutdown, officials told Climate Central that a shutdown longer than about 1 to 2 weeks could impact the satellite program�s timeline by halting work being done by government contractors, such as Ball Aerospace, which is building the satellites and their components. A shorter shutdown would have allowed the contractors to keep working using funding left over from fiscal year 2013 appropriations.
�Currently, NOAA is assessing the short and long-term impacts of the government shutdown to the development of, and launch schedules of all the spacecraft in its satellite acquisition portfolio, particularly, GOES-R and JPSS,� NOAA spokesman Scott Smullen told Climate Central in an email, using the acronyms for the next-generation of geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites.
�NOAA�s current suite of operational geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites, which are the backbone of forecasts from NOAA�s National Weather Service, were not impacted by the shutdown,� Smullen said.
During the shutdown, 55 percent of NOAA�s workforce were furloughed, with most of the employees that remained on the job dedicated to operational weather forecasting, rather than satellite procurement.
The team of experts analyzing the satellite program�s timeline include representatives from NOAA, NASA, the Department of Defense, international agencies, and private sector contractors. The analysis of the shutdown�s impact on the satellite program�s timeline and cost is expected to take several weeks, NOAA said.
While NOAA is analyzing the ramifications of the shutdown on its satellite programs, one of its divisions will also be working to make up for lost time on a prominent climate report that will help form the basis for the next round of U.N. climate talks, which will take place in Poland in November.
The report is a status update on the state of the climate system in 2013, and is being prepared for the World Meteorological Organization, which is part of the U.N. system. The report contains a preliminary summary of the climate of 2013, including highlights of major weather and climate events from the year, as well as information on the year-to-date status of various global statistics, such as global surface temperature and sea ice extent.
The task of preparing the report rotates among different countries, with this year being the second year in a row that the U.S. has the assignment. The government shutdown closed the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) in Asheville, N.C., which is the NOAA agency that is responsible for monitoring the global climate system, and also cut off U.S. citizens and other nations to NCDC data.
�What this means is that because NASA, NOAA, and other global data were not being ingested (during the shutdown), or analysis was not being done during the shutdown, the global numbers may not be as credible,� said Nancy Colleton, president of the nonprofit Institute for Global Environmental Strategies. �It could degrade the integrity of the report,� she said in an email.
�It is a big deal for NOAA/NCDC to be the lead for a COP-19 statement that the Secretary General reads, so it will mean they may have to work overtime and weekends to get all the analysis done on time,� Colleton said, using the acronym for the U.N. climate talks, which are formally known as Conferences of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change.
NOAA maintains that the climate report is still on schedule, despite the lost two weeks of work and lack of data availability during that time. | 2019-04-18T10:55:56 | https://www.jdnews.com/article/20131018/News/310189921 |

Of late there has been lot of brouhaha, politically speaking, in the media as well as the Lower and the Upper Houses of the country regarding an examination to test the aspiring Civil servants of the country. I am first and foremost a teacher; however, I delight in the training/application aspect of my job. The first question I had when the controversy erupted was that this bone of contention between the ruling regime and the Opposition, played out through innocent (and as it appears insecure) aspirants, is it really worth the merit according to all that is being alleged?
Let us go for the brass tacks. My readers I can safely assume, are mostly all literate. Let us look at the following multiple choice questions (MCQs), shall we?
* Out of 120 applications for a post, 70 are male and 80 have a driver’s license. What is the ratio between the minimum to maximum number of males having driver’s licence?
* The tank-full petrol in Arun’s motorcycle lasts for 10 days. If he starts using 25% more every day, how many days will the tank-full petrol last?
These are from CSAT 2013. Read them through and you will understand that even if you do not know the answers off the cuff right now “ whatever be the reasons “ your class X or class XII self would most probably have. And, I have no doubt in mind that if you know anyone who is still going through the rigours of High School, you would expect him/her to know them, or at least know a way to work them out, if not make an intelligent guess. Therefore, for these Civil Services aspirants who are supposed to know their subject at the bachelors level and at the masters level to oppose the test on the basis of level of difficulty, lack of skills in the English language smacks of an attitude that we commoners already accuse babus of having: complacency, lack of competitiveness, an unhealthy sense of entitlement, and the most corrupt tendency of all – resistance to change.
This sadly proves that the people turning into lowly anarchists on our streets are perfectly made for the status quo sort of bureaucracy, which is now a self-protecting mechanism. It also makes me question the sincerity of the political backers of this motley crowd. Those who are arguing for the sake of regional languages should be probed: how many of our politicians’ children go to schools that depend on regional languages as teaching medium?
As for the level of difficulty, I have already settled it, haven’t I?
Language has emerged a major issue of late, perhaps also since the new government has decided to do all its business in public in Hindi. As I see it, this indeed is a tough one. So, here’s my two-bit. Our regional languages, our mother tongues are a beautiful legacy to be cherished and protected and developed. However, it is also a fact that English has seeped into our culture over close to 400 years. We cannot accept all other cultures and reject just one.
Besides, the march towards English is happening all over the world. In France, in Germany, in Italy, in China as we all know. And all this is thanks to the overwhelming convergence provided by an IT-enabled world. In today’s world, English is necessary. Suppose we achieve a nationalistic ideal by ensuring that almost every Indian has acquired basic language skills in one particular national language be it Hindi or Tamil or for that matter Bhojpuri or even Sanskrit “ whatever the people decide in a magical surmounting of all differences, we will more likely than not, still need English. That is to do business with the world without becoming the biggest market for interpreters and translators.
Therefore, it is nothing wrong to expect our babus to have basic comprehension skills in English, a language that quite literally unifies the world; especially in a country where even a day labourer sets aside around 50% of his income to send his children to an English-medium school. This outrage should be directed at our primary education system that fails to equip our children with skills to survive in a dynamic, challenging environment. As a training professional, I would rather imagine that having basic language skills in a common language should help immensely to boost efficiency at work.
As for those who caused damage to public property and whose protests inconvenienced the common man, they should be stricken off the list of applicants and barred from taking the exam for good, for adults with little respect for public property or convenience shall certainly do injustice to this elite force. | 2019-04-19T14:51:17 | http://www.himanshurai.com/civil-services-attitude-test/ |
How well do you know your customers’ industry and market pressures? Are you vaguely aware? Do you just mumble “recession” when questioned? Technology salespeople need an indepth awareness and understanding of their customer’s industry and the pressures they are under in order to effectively align their sales stretegy and solution to the customer’s needs.
With the ever increasing availability of information, we take it for granted that we now have easy access to a plethora of information within seconds, on any customer or their industry segment. But this doesn’t mean that it is valuable to you as a salesperson or a company selling into that sector. We also don’t analyse the data to understand what this means for us as a vendor, we take the obvious points such as falling profits to give us a generic view on the customer’s issues that we could have probably guessed at.
We need to look beyond basic financial reports to get an expert view on industry motivations, then we can really become a trusted advisor to our clients.
For instance, at the moment, retailers are going on the offensive despite the recession? why is this? How come they have such grand expansion plans? Well, tricky times offer larger, more stable players the opportunity to pick up cheap acquisitions when their less lucky counterparts go under. Secondly, real estate prices are at an all time low, allowing retailers to snap up bargains, and no one drives a again like a retailer.
Looking beyond the obvious information allows us to start to see market conditions from our clients’ perspective and make a call even before they have decided their next steps or growth strategy. We can start to guide and offer our expertise in their own industry segment, spotting opportunities for them to grow, as their growth and expansion will ultimately create more revenue and opportunity for your own solutions. Go beyond the competitor’s salesperson who thinks he is doing a stellar job by reading up on their customer’s financial statements. | 2019-04-19T22:49:01 | https://contemsa.com/b2bsales/importance-industry-awareness-selling/ |

The LA up-and-comer joins OG Maco's label.
Travel through Doja Cat's catalog and you'll notice that, despite her steadily-climbing hype, the Los Angeles based artist doesn't have a ton in the way of content. No matter the quantity, however, it's hard not to see the potential in Doja Cat, who will now be joining OG Maco's label OGG.
The figure behind last summer's excellent and underrated Purrr! EP is yet to announce what's coming in the near future, but it's not unreasonable to expect some new material very soon. Until then, get a handle on her recently released "big booty" single 'YEEEAH!', which features some production help from producer Lone. | 2019-04-20T15:07:56 | https://www.thefourohfive.com/music/article/doja-cat-signs-with-ogg-143 |
I distinguish conservatives from libertarians, who, on issues of personal liberty, tend to side with liberals. Since World War II, mainstream conservatives have opposed every expansion of personal liberty in the United States.
During the civil rights era, the leading conservative politician, Barry Goldwater, and the leading conservative intellectual, William F. Buckley Jr., along with most of their followers opposed federal laws banning racial discrimination. To their credit, they later admitted they had been mistaken; indeed, both Buckley and Goldwater supported gay rights late in their careers. But at the time that conservative support for a color-blind society might have made a difference, the leaders of American conservatism sided with the Southern segregationists. They claimed they did so, not because of racial prejudice, but because they feared federal tyranny — a weaselly stance that, in practice, made them side with white supremacist tyranny at the state level. If they had truly believed in their own propaganda about federalism, conservatives could have opposed federal civil rights legislation while campaigning for civil rights laws at the state level. They didn’t.
The civil rights revolution was followed by the sexual revolution. Here again, conservatives, as distinct from libertarians, were on the side of government repression. The mainstream conservative movement opposed the legalization of contraceptives and abortion. In this case, unlike in the case of civil rights, the American right did not even pretend to have constitutional reasons for opposing Supreme Court decisions like Griswold v. Connecticut in 1965 (which struck down state bans on the use of contraception, including by married couples) or Roe v. Wade in 1973 (which struck down state bans on most abortion). The mainstream right simply argued that conservative Christian beliefs about sexual morality should be incorporated into law. In other words, the very conservatives warning us about the dangers of “mobocracy” when it came to the welfare state had no objection to using the power of government to force their fellow citizens to live their private lives according to the teachings of Thomas Aquinas or the Book of Leviticus, as interpreted by semi-literate Southern Protestant preachers.
A theocratic or tribalist Right that argues for public policies by invoking divine revelation to some ancient prophet or immemorial custom dating back to “the gloomy age of Ignorance and Superstition,” is profoundly, radically un-American.
And what about debtors? Genuine Jeffersonians and Jacksonians have usually sided with working-class debtors against upper-class creditors. Not American conservatives. They supported laws making it harder for families crippled by medical bills to declare bankruptcy. The Tea Party was mobilized in part by opposition to proposals to restructure the debt of homeowners who are “underwater” with their mortgages. And — best of all — the very same American right that wants to impose Catholic or Old Testament sexual morals in the bedroom opposes Catholic and Old Testament teachings about the need to limit usury.
Last but not least is the appallingly authoritarian conservative record in the realm of criminal rights. If American conservatives really believed their talk about the threat of government tyranny and government incompetence, they would unanimously oppose the death penalty. Nothing could illustrate arbitrary, despotic government power more than the possibility that execution might depend on the vagaries of jury selection or the incompetence of state-appointed legal counsel. And yet when it comes to the death penalty, American conservatives abruptly forget their qualms about state power in its most lethal form. The same conservative movement that claims that government cannot be trusted to run the postal system or administer Social Security insists that wise and flawless government never applies the death penalty to the guilty inconsistently and never executes an innocent person by mistake. | 2019-04-20T22:13:31 | https://www.salon.com/2012/05/15/why_do_conservatives_hate_freedom/ |

It’s early days for us, but we have started to dot some examples of wp-polls about the website. This is a WordPress plug-in developed by Lester Chan that allows WordPress users to easily insert multiple polls into their website. Each poll can have a question plus any number of answers. The poll owner gets to decide where to display the poll, and whether multiple answers can be selected. All active polls can be displayed, or you can choose individual ones, or even polls chosen at random, to display. each can have an expiry date or can be left to never expire. Votes cast can be displayed in a number of ways (including graphical).
Do you run Polls / Surveys on your website?
Take a look at some of our other Polls – we’re trying not to go bonkers with them!
If you use other poll or survey software on your site, let us know how you are finding it.
We have recently launched a new client website called Crowdwise, using a highly-tailored version of wp-polls. The site allows registered members to post questions that get answered by Crowdwise visitors. Using “The Wisdom of Crowds” the site hopes to deliver more accurate answers to questions than experts can provide. | 2019-04-18T12:31:53 | https://dmjcomputerservices.com/blog/using-wp-polls-for-wordpress/ |

The River North (RINO) Greenway Master Plan was completed in 2008 and the River South (RISO) Greenway Master Plan was completed in 2009. The two Plans were made possible through the support of the City and County of Denver, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, Colorado Water Conservation Board, Denver Water and The Greenway Foundation . RINO and RISO created a “renewed vision” for the 10+ mile section of the South Platte River Greenway in Denver involving numerous community, stakeholder, business and public interaction leading to their respective recommendations. In 2010, the recommendations of RINO and RISO were compiled and summarized into the River Vision Implementation Plan (RVIP) that established a prioritization listing of said recommendations into a series of short term, mid term and long term priorities. The five short term priority projects then received further conceptual design and cost analysis detailing. RVIP was made possible through the support of Great Outdoors Colorado, the City and County of Denver's Parks and Recreation Dept., Trust for Public Lands, Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado and The Greenway Foundation. Efforts are now underway to obtaining the funding needed to initiate the realization of the recommendations within these three planning documents.
The first 12' by 8' mural is installed on the flood channel walls of the Cherry Creek as a part of the 2010 Art on the River event. The mural depicts prehistoric life along the South Platte River and is funded by The Friends of Dinosaur Ridge.

Mile High Mile returned for its fourth year, with a change in venue from the Colorado State Capitol to Invesco Field at Mile High. Participation in the MHM increased three fold with over 1,800 runners of all ages and, through the Title Sponsorship of orthodontist Dr. Anil Idicula, this increasingly popular family based event is now known as the Live Life Smiling Mile High Mile.
The SPREE Program partners with Gold Unlimited to introduce a new family event: Panning on the Platte.

Our rental pergolas are also available to purchase after your event.

If you prefer, we can always build you a brand new table, pergola, bistro table or whatever it is you’ve fallen in love with.
OR… you can buy any of our rentals at incredibly discounted prices.
That’s not to say, you’ll get any less quality. We guarantee every piece we sell will be in excellent shape. We inspect every table, and if needed, repair it like new. In the end, there may be a couple scratches here and there, but overall, you’ll be ecstatic about your purchase.

Adventure Park Ammersee "Wilde Gretl"
Designed in form of a pirate ship, this Adventure Park is a multi-function facility, offering climbing adventure and events. The ropes course with four Parcours in gradually increasing difficulty levels offers climbing pleasure up to 13m high. The participants climb in pairs and are protected by Edelrid’s Smart Belay, a communication safety-system. The elements were designed aesthetically around the subject ‘Pirates’.
Parcour 1 was especially developed for beginners and children. Because Bornack’s Evolution Safety-system delivers the highest level of safety, children can climb without parental supervision at heights between 3-5m.
In the hull of the ship the basis of all Ropes Course can be found; the office, a material store, WC and a guest area.
The so-called ship deck serves as an event platform, where open-air screenings, concerts and parties take place regularly. | 2019-04-26T11:42:36 | https://www.hochkant.de/en/references/ropes-course/adventure-park/wilde-gretl-ammersee.html |
Because couture gowns last longer, most brides feel more comfortable wearing something that they know is more durable. Ready to wear gowns are not always as durable, but most brides don't mind because a dress is typically the only dress you plan to wear once. Since you won't be wearing it on a regular basis, you don't have to be concerned about durability.
Oftentimes, the lengths of the dresses are also important when deciding for wedding dresses along with bridesmaid too. You just have to consider the length if you are planning to have a wedding outdoors. If you will have to length gowns for bridesmaids, they will be dragging the gown over the ground which will ruin the dress and will just rip it off. You can gather pictures and ask the opinion of your bridesmaid if they prefer cheap long evening dresses UK. If you are on a budget, there are cheaper options that are available these days; you can cut on the quality of the dress since it will just be worn once. You can also look for cuts and designs that are not too complicated for the dressmaker.
You would like excitement. You need every single and each marriage ceremony guest to lose the breathing while you slip down the section, your height of charisma. Perfectly, appear absolutely no more: even the most discerning involving bride-to-be like these two typical, exciting Wedding Dresses.
Other brides might try looking at secondhand wedding dresses through consignment shops, Craigslist or Freecycle, or specialty secondhand formalwear or bridal retailers. | 2019-04-24T22:42:47 | http://mksell.net/importance-of-finding-bridesmaid-dresses-online.html |

Beni Mellah is a modern city located in the western center of Morocco, between Middle Atlas mountains and the plain of Tadla. This mountain city has a population just under 200k. It sits on a crossroad between two major imperial cities: Marrakech and Fes, which makes it a strategic and an important hub for business and tourists. The city is accessible via transportation (Car, Bus, Taxi, train), and it even has an airport. Casablanca and Marrakech are the closed major cities to it.
Beni Mellal has a number of tourist attractions that are connected to. But perhaps the one attraction that is associated with the most is Ein Asardon. The beauty of Ein Asardon is dated in some respects to the mixing of Arabs and Amazighs. This cultural fusion is reflected in the architecture of gardens that extends from the spring of Ain Asardon to its surroundings.
Ein Asardon: A unique tourist resort that combines the beauty of nature and history, This attraction has become a national heritage since 1947. The gardens are a replica of the Andalusian gardens with fig trees, olives and pomegranates lighting up the place.
Cape of the eye: a huge building made of natural stones. The Kasbah is only a short walk away from Ein Aserdun. Its location enables you to have a panoramic view of the orange and olive groves from above.
Kasbah Zaidan: Also called the Kasbah Amairiya, was built in 1584 by Sultan Zaidan bin Ahmed Al Mansour dahabbi and was a security headquarter that controls the southern half of Morocco at that time. It was seen as a symbol of regional power.
Kasbah Balakush: It was built by Mawla Isma'il in the 19th century, it had a central role in protecting the city, its location enables visitors to have a picture perfect view of Beni Mellal and the surrounding.
Bin-El Waidan Dam: Not that far from Beni Mellal, This dam is the considered the highest arch dam in African, and the largest in Morocco when it comes to electricity production. This dam has a variety of fish, and it is open to everyone for fishing, this can be a good outdoor activity to entertain while visiting the town and its surroundings.
Ozud Falls: Located in the neighboring city of Azilal, about an hour drive from the city of Beni Mellal, this town is known for its magestic waterfall, and beautiful nature. | 2019-04-25T15:01:55 | https://exploringmorocco.com/morocco/atlas/visiting-beni-mellal |

While it’s not the typical season to discuss such a condition, a newsworthy tidbit has come to light regarding seasonal affective disorder. Better known by its acronym, SAD, this involves more than just having the “winter Blahs” but actually suffering, as it were, from a disorder.
About six percent of Americans have SAD and another 20% may experience its symptoms irregularly, which include fatigue, lethargy, depression, cravings for sweets, sleep disturbances, irritability, and headaches. With no known cause, it is believed that SAD is tied to a lack of exposure to sunlight.
The news comes out of Harvard and was heard at this year’s meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in Toronto, Ontario. Researchers discovered that high- carbohydrate drinks could actually dispel the symptoms of SAD. That’s right: just a simple carb beverage a day. The researchers used the cravings for sweets and carbs as a sort of launch pad into their work. They surmised that if someone drank the beverage a few times each day, he/she would get a solid helping of carbohydrates in a safe manner.
Those carbs are known to increase the body’s production of both “serotonin” and “tryptophan,” chemicals that are known to relieve depression, moodiness, and sleep problems. (On that last note, you can draw a parallel to Thanksgiving, where turkey, which is high in tryptophan, tends to make you sleepy.) It is really the serotonin that is at work here against SAD though, as it regulates your sleep patterns and mood.
In the study, 18 individuals with SAD drank a sweet drink, specially made with different kinds of carbohydrates, twice a day. All of them showed an improvement in their symptoms. This study is tied to the future, as the drink is not readily available to the public yet. However, if you consult your doctor, he/she may know how you can proceed medicinally with this kind of beverage.
Some experts remain skeptical, as always. Some believe a high-carb drink isn’t a sustainable kind of treatment because although the additional carbs activate brain chemicals, there is an addictive pattern that forces the person to keep going back for more.
Nonetheless, if you suffer from SAD, you could try this type of beverage and see if it changes your symptoms. Sports stores and health food stores may carry high- carbohydrate sports drinks, which are often used by athletes following vigorous exercise. They may come in the form of energy drinks, juices, or smoothies. Take your pick and see if drinking two glasses a day makes a difference. | 2019-04-22T06:57:13 | https://www.doctorshealthpress.com/pain-articles/drink-the-blues-away/ |
Investment Promotion Agencies act as economic development conduits which seek not only just to undertake promotion, but also to improve the wider environment for investors by liaising and initiating change. As a result, worldwide governments have set up Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) to advance investment goals and by extension economic development in the context of a dynamic and competitive environment. Yet, little empirical research is done, especially in the developing world with a view to enhance the working practices of IPAs. This study investigated the effectiveness and quality of services provided by Mozambique?s Centre for the Promotion of Investment (CPI) from the perspective of both local and foreign investors. A quantitative approach by way of an online questionnaire was employed in the study. The data generated was analysed with the assistance of a registered statistician. The study found that most of the participants (local and foreign investors in Mozambique) do not make use of the services which the CPI is mandated to offer such as company registration; registration with the Fiscal Department and the publishing of company constitution in the government gazette, to name but a few. Furthermore, investors who have accessed the above services indicated a lack of service quality by the CPI. In the wider environment, the study found areas of concern such as an inadequate accounting system and a lack of proper coordination among the stakeholders involved in the process of setting up a business in Mozambique. | 2019-04-21T18:36:56 | http://nrfnexus.nrf.ac.za/handle/11189/1591 |
How common is medical malpractice and how often do injured patients seek compensation? The real answers to those questions may be surprising.
Medical malpractice exists. Doctors are human. They make errors, give less than utmost care and miss symptoms that should not be missed. An article in the March 2009 issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal cites a 1974 study conducted by California hospitals and physicians that showed that doctors and other medical professionals injure one out of every 125 patients, and of those injured, only one in 75 is compensated for that injury. More recent studies mentioned in the article give injury and litigation rate figures that are roughly similar, arriving at a litigation rate among all patients (injured or not) of one in 250 patients. In spite of those results, the constant rallying cry for those that favor malpractice liability caps is that a litigation-hungry public driving up the costs of health care.
When doctors and hospitals are taken to the courts by those they have injured, the legal system does work. A 2006 Harvard School of Public Health study of medical malpractice lawsuits points out that over 60 percent of all medical malpractice cases examined in the study had merit. The study also found that the legal system does recognize and effectively dismiss without reward most malpractice suits that have no merit.
If you have any questions regarding California medical malpractice lawsuits, or how liability and negligence are determined in a civil court, please contact the Irvine Personal Injury Attorneys at the Law Offices of Samer Habbas. | 2019-04-25T20:54:21 | https://www.habbaspilaw.com/the-reality-of-medical-malpractice/ |
We need your telephone quantity so that we can get in touch with you if we have any queries about your quote. Florida is a excellent choice if you will spend a lot of time on the east coast since Florida residents get a hefty discount on Florida state parks, and it’s a great location to spend the winters. Individuals can also buy well being insurance coverage plans on their personal from an insurance coverage company. I confident hope this works cause I have no overall health insurance and have been quite sick with a undesirable cough and operating nose. Soon after you meet your deductible, the insurance coverage business would start paying the full share of fees. It really is important to note that greater plans usually come with much better medical doctor networks and decrease copays.
Secondly, I worked for a organization that became crooked, and although I addressed the concerns with them, they let me go. I couldn’t get personal health coverage because #1 I was unemployed and #2 I had a pre-existing melanoma removed from my leg. The movement against asbestos was led by the mob, simply because it was often mob-related businesses that would do the asbestos removal. For insurance coverage, ask if the physician requires assignment, which signifies they will accept payment directly from the insurance coverage organization rather than requiring you to spend in advance. Overall health Care also forms a major component of the company’s portfolio of offerings, with 70 percent of the healthcare infrastructure spread out in all significant cities.
Cover medical, dental and vision care for everybody in the household with Progressive Advantage® Health Insurance coverage. Unfortunately, there are significant social and cultural difficulties more than right here directly associated to these numbers and irrelevant to the quality of well being care itself. Price must be Rs. 100 per year as Life Insurance have issued Group Term Insurance coverage policies for Rs 76 per year for sum assured of Rs 2 lakhs For 6crores persons price has to be appealing. Just before you hit the slopes or backcountry, take a moment to consider insurance implications for winter recreation. You will be charged the pro-rated premium for the period during which your policy was in-force, the expense of pre-policy overall health check-up, if any, and the stamp duty.
The report also discovered that right after the passage of the law, employee premium contributions for single-person plans grew a lot more gradually in 31 states, like Kentucky. Now they are each going back to the United States since the Canadian Health Technique will kill them by not treating them in a timely or even competent manner. No intervention of a TPA has ensured that Star Wellness Insurance coverage Business has a higher rate of buyer satisfaction, and prides itself on its hassle-totally free direct claim settlement method. A firm-issued health card need to be displayed at the hospital as identification and proof of well being coverage, to avail cashless remedy. I was Genuinely shocked by the way the Overall health Insurance coverage claim was processed with no any want for efforts and stick to ups from my side. | 2019-04-22T04:19:07 | http://zrdn.info/tag/dutch |

Tom Gola is a Philadelphia Big Five basketball icon who led La Salle College to the National Invitation Tournament championship in 1952 and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship in 1954 and holds the NCAA record for most rebounds in a career. He helped the Philadelphia Warriors win the National Basketball Association (NBA) championship as a rookie in 1956 and was named an All-Star five times before retiring in 1966. But Gola also had many amazing successes as a coach; his La Salle Explorer teams were an important part of the national collegiate basketball landscape. In 1976, Gola was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Transitioning from the NBA to politics, Gola served as Pennsylvania state representative and then Philadelphia city controller. His dedication to public service included a joint campaign with politician Arlen Specter that revolutionized political marketing in Philadelphia.
In this definitive biography, reporter David Grzybowski draws on not only his exclusive 2013 interviews with Gola but also anecdotes by such legends of Philadelphia and basketball history as John Chaney, Fran Dunphy, and Lionel Simmons. Mr. All-Around: The Life of Tom Gola (Publication Date: December 15, 2018) is a heartfelt testament to the life, career, and legacy of one of Philadelphia’s most beloved sports legends.

Permanent damage from Trichotillomania is a very real possibility for many who suffer from it. At Lucinda Ellery Consultancy we help manage most types of Trichotillomania; with perhaps one exception being very mild TTM when there is no visible hair loss from the hair pulling. We often see women with extensive hair loss from their hair pulling and typically encounter 40 – 70% hair loss in most cases.
In our experience if a client has been pulling their hair for more than 7 - 10 years there is a possibility that permanent follicle damage is starting to occur. This can range from a small reduction in the volume of hair re-growing, to chronic permanent damage where most or all of the hair is no longer re-growing in the area that has been pulled for normally many years. You can see examples of ladies with permanent damage in the photos below.
There are exceptions; we also meet women who pull hair from a seemingly large area but who have the ability to stop for sometimes extended periods of time. This will sometimes reduce their risk of permanent follicle damage.
We typically see permanent follicle damage in clients when they are in their thirties and forties. However in very severe cases, this permanent damage can start to show in even early twenties. The client below is only 21 and has some areas of permanent damage. She started pulling her hair out when she was just 10 years old.
The Intralace System® is an effective way for a client to disguise permanent damage from Trichotillomania, as it can be used for localized areas of hair loss and it also allows the client the freedom of having a full head of hair that can be treated just like their own and it is a superior option to a wig as it can be worn 24/7. | 2019-04-22T07:05:04 | http://www.lucindaellery-hairloss.com/trich-damage.php |
In properly learning how to write an expository essay, you must develop a strong thesis that's supported by relevant facts and statistics, examples, or other pertinent information. An expository essay is a specific type of writing that involves providing the reader with information, explaining a topic, or defining a particular term.
Since an expository essay is meant to provide the reader with factual information, it should be written from a neutral point-of-view and without emotion. In addition, it should be written in the third person, which means the paper shouldn't contain the word "I" or sentences such as "In my opinion...."
Before you begin writing the expository essay, you must develop your ideas. This step of the writing process is usually referred to as "pre-writing." During the pre-writing stage, you'll brainstorm ideas for the document and you'll begin to put them in order.
If you haven't already developed an argument, you should be able to determine one after conducting the pre-writing activities. Although you'll have an idea of what the report will be about before you begin pre-writing, the pre-writing stage will help you develop your ideas further and to hone in on your actual thesis statement.
Your thesis statement is one sentence that summarizes what the entire expository essay will be about. Based off of your thesis statement, you'll need to gather information that helps to support your statement. This will involve conducting research in order to further develop the ideas you wrote about in the pre-writing stage.
In most cases, the thesis statement is included in the first paragraph of the expository paper. This first paragraph is called the "introduction" and is intended to grab the reader's attention and to provide the reader with the main idea.
Each of the subsequent paragraphs is used to support the topic sentence from the first paragraph. Each of these paragraphs must have a topic sentence, which is a sentence telling the main idea of that paragraph, and the topic sentence must support your thesis. The rest of the sentences within the paragraph are used to further explain and to support the topic sentence. These supporting paragraphs are referred to as the "body" of the report and, in most cases, it should include at least three paragraphs in the body.
The final paragraph of the expository essay is the conclusion. The conclusion should restate the thesis and the main ideas, though the sentences should be worded differently. The final paragraph should never introduce new material and the final sentence should summarize the report in a memorable or meaningful way. In doing so, you'll leave a lasting impression on the reader that will help your document stand out from the rest.
There are many situations in which a student might have to complete an informative essay. It is a standard assignment that not only provides a point-of-view, but also a significant amount of information. Students may have to write informative essays for any course that they're taking at any level of study.
There are several steps that students can take in order to ensure that they write effective and well-composed informative essays. First, students need to understand the nature of the topic about which they must write. Many students are required to write informative essays based on a topic discussed in class. Other students may have to complete the assignment based on their own topic and research that they perform outside of class.
Regardless of the informative essay topic, students should always be sure that they understand what the professor is looking for prior to beginning the researching and writing process. Once the student understands the topic and reviews the complete project requirements, he/she can begin.
Many students will map out a research plan for their informative essays that includes interviews, research in a library, experimentation, and more. Students should have an idea of what kind of research they will use before they get started, even though the research methods might change once the student begins the research process.
After a student is satisfied with the amount of research that he/she has performed, he/she should develop an outline for the informative essay. The outline will provide the basic structure and content for the work and help the student to write more effectively if he/she can follow the outline closely.
Students can begin the first draft of their informative essays once they have completed their outlines. They need to be aware that the first draft might not be the last draft, so they should set aside enough time to revise and edit multiple drafts before submitting the final work.
There are many types of academic documents that students will need to write as part of their studies. While term papers are very common assignments, informative essays aren't assigned quite as often. Unlike standard writing assignments, informative essays are designed to share information and provide moderation commentary. Traditional assignments aren't necessarily designed to share information, but they're suited to provide a point-of-view.
An expository term paper is one that a student writes with the primary objective of informing the reader. Expository term papers are different from other types that encourage the reader to present a specific argument or interpretation, as they are intended to explore and discuss a single topic in a thorough way.
Reports are long and in-depth texts; therefore, expository term papers must be on complex subjects. Otherwise, the report will not achieve the length and breadth required. Students should choose a topic that has many different components or facets. Therefore, while the topic should be specific, it shouldn't be so specific that the learner will not be able to write about it for several pages.
Though expository term papers don't posit arguments, they should nonetheless present thesis statements. A thesis is the paper's main idea. The thesis for an expository term paper will likely identify the topic and then explain how that topic is going to be explored. For instance, the topic of the report may be on explaining the behavior of weather systems in mountainous areas. The thesis for such a topic may be as follows: "Weather systems behave differently in mountainous areas than they do in non-mountainous areas. By investigating the barometric pressure, precipitation patterns, and temperatures in adjacent mountainous and non-mountainous regions, it's possible to observe the interesting effects mountains have on weather." This thesis clearly identifies the topic of the expository term paper—the behavior of weather systems in mountain areas—and explains how this topic will be explored—through the examination of the barometric pressure, precipitation patterns, and temperatures in adjacent mountainous and non-mountainous regions.
Determining who will be reading the expository term paper is central the success of such a report. A student should always assume, unless instructed otherwise, that the audience for his/her assignment is his/her instructor and his/her peers. Therefore, though an expository term paper is completed to inform, an expository term paper completed to inform one's classmates in an advanced biology class is different from an expository paper completed to inform the average college student. When completing an expository term paper, then, the student can assume that he/she doesn't need to inform his/her reader on background information about his/her topic if that background information has been discussed or acquired through the course of the class.
An expository essay is a type of assignment writing in which a learner will be required to write in-depth about a particular subject. Many expository essays are also called research essays, as a student is required to research a subject in order to write the document. In many cases, expository essays are also papers that are intended to uncover new ideas or information based on research.
Expository essays are meant to "expose" a certain idea or piece of information. As the student exposes information in the report, he/she should provide an analysis of multiple parts of the subject. For example, a student may be required to complete an expository essay about the Creative Class and its impact on urban development. In order to create such an paper, the learner will need to research and understand both the Creative Class as well as urban development basics. The student would then need to explain how to Creative Class impacts urban development from all angles, including positive and negative angles.
Many people regard expository essay writing as detective work. A student takes a subject or question and writes an in-depth analysis of it in order to find out the truth (or the student's opinion of the truth). Expository essays are particular popular in history, political science, and literature courses, as they require learners to think critically and write clearly about their thoughts.
When completing an expository essay, students need to begin with an introductory statement. This introductory statement should include a thesis statement, which is a one-sentence argument/assertion of purpose. The student will prove the thesis to be true throughout the document. Each body paragraph that comes after the introduction should have new information that proves the thesis to be true.
After the student has completed the body of the expository essay, he/she needs to wrap the report up with a conclusion. The conclusion can be one paragraph or several paragraphs in which the student recaps information shared. The student also expresses his/her own opinions and ideas in the conclusion in many cases.
An expository report is different from a research essay in many cases. A research essay conveys basic information and facts. Students need to research a subject in-depth in order to create a research paper. However, they may not need to think critically about that information.
When a student needs to complete an expository essay, he/she not only needs to think critically during his/her research, but the student should also be motivated by his/her ability to uncover new information. An expository essay is, therefore, about exposing the truth behind an idea or fact. A research paper is about providing basic information that can then influence future expository essays.

For the past ten years I have worked in a psychiatric division of a local hospital where I have worked with dual diagnosis patients.

Students, advisors and deans kicked off National Nurses Week at the New Hampshire Fisher Cats game on Saturday, May 6. Southern New Hampshire University sponsored the game to celebrate nurses and recognize their contribution to the healthcare field.
The students, along with nurses in Greater Manchester invited by the Fisher Cats, took in the game at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium in Manchester, N.H., and nursing student Jared Caron threw out the ceremonial first pitch. He said that any event that highlights nurses is a good thing.
"I think it's always good to draw attention to the work that nurses do because it's work that's hidden. People don't get to see what's involved in the work of nurses. So the more attention that is brought to it, we can help people get interested in the field," he said. "We need nurses, and we need people to do that work that takes care of people and keeps people healthy."
Caron, a BSN student now working in ambulatory care, said he appreciated being able to come back to New Hampshire for the game and having the chance to throw out the first pitch. "It was a lot of fun," he said. "I think it was just great to represent the profession and just be here in New Hampshire, the state that I grew up in, and have a lot of fun."
Families who attended the game had an opportunity to thank a nurse in their life and share who their nursing hero was on white boards, which was shared on social media. Stories and shout-outs were shared of grandmothers, aunts and colleagues who were nurse heroes and even recent graduates who were excited to be entering the field. Nurses at the game shared why they loved their profession on the white boards, which centered around helping people heal.
The game featured on-field nursing-themed games and activities between innings, such as nurse trivia.
National Nurses Week was first celebrated in October 1954, the 100th anniversary of Florence Nightingale's famed efforts during the Crimean War, according to the American Nurses Association. The week is meant to honor the nation's nearly 3 million nurses, the largest segment of the healthcare industry. | 2019-04-22T06:12:15 | https://www.snhu.edu/about-us/newsroom/2017/05/nursing-students-honored |

After graduation from West Point he served in the US Mounted Rifles, acheiving rank of 1st Lt in 1859. He resigned his US commission in May 1861. He was commissioned Lieutenant-Colonel, Confederate States Cavalry, to date from March 16, 1861, and on May 8th was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the Ninth North Carolina regiment, afterward known as the First North Carolina cavalry. On March 1, 1862, he was promoted Colonel of his regiment.
In the engagements at the gap in the Catoctin and near Middletown [13 Sept] the Jeff. Davis Legion and First North Carolina Cavalry, respectively under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Martin and Colonel [L. S.] Baker, conducted themselves with the utmost gallantry, and sustained a hot fire of artillery and musketry without flinching or confusion in the ranks."
After Gen Hampton's wounding at Gettysburg (Juky 1863), Col Baker led his brigade. He was wounded at Brandy Station (July 31, 1863) and was recommended for promotion to Brigadier General, which was promptly confirmed. In the subsequent reorganization of the cavalry he was assigned to the command of a brigade composed exclusively of North Carolina regiments, the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth. But the wound he had received at Brandy Station was a serious one - the bones of his arm being completely shattered, and the use of it lost to him, in consequence of which he was unable to continue his service with the cavalry.
His were primarily administrative military duties til the end of the War, except at the very end when he was recalled to active commands in defense of Federal General Sherman's Campaign.
He lived at New Bern for awhile, and near Norfolk, Va., carried on a trucking business, after which he returned to North Carolina, and was engaged in insurance until 1877. He then became an agent of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad (Suffolk, Va).

This report also highlights an impact on Muslim communities which is rarely discussed and which includes changes in dress style so that attention is not drawn to the visibility of their faith. The report highlights the issue of Muslims managing their Muslim identity on-line and off-line with the aim of reducing future abuse. It states that, “the reality of anti-Muslim hate crime creates ‘invisible’ boundaries, across which members of the Muslim community are not ‘welcome’ to step. The enactment of both virtual and physical boundaries impacts upon ‘emotional geographies’ in relation to the way in which Muslims perceive the spaces and places around and outside their communities of abode. Rather than risk the threat of being attacked, either off-line or on-line, many actual and potential victims opt to change their lifestyles and retreat to ‘their own’ communities. | 2019-04-18T10:20:06 | https://tellmamauk.org/fear-lives-offline-online-experiences-anti-muslim-hostility/ |

All trucking accidents can cause serous personal injuries. But sideswipe trucking accidents can cause serious spinal cord injuries which result in permanent and debilitating damage. This is due to the application of force being on a glancing or lateral movement. While motor vehicles are rated for head on, rear end, and side impact collisions, many are not rated for sideswipe crashes. These types of crashes can violently shake, twist, or rotate a motor vehicle and the passengers seat belted inside.
If you or a loved one have been injured in a New Mexico sideswipe trucking accident, call our experienced New Mexico trucking accident lawyers at the NM Truck Accident Attorneys by dialing (505) 883-5000 for a free consultation. Our knowledgeable and compassionate lawyers will work with you and your family to help obtain the compensation you deserve and may be entitled to.
A sideswipe trucking accident occurs when a large commercial truck like a big rig, tractor trailer, semi truck, or other box truck strikes the side of another motor vehicle and glances off. The collision is not perpendicular and crushing the side wall. Thus, it is not a penetrating-type collision. Generally the zone of impact is larger and longer along a car than other types of collisions, including a side impact collision.
But a sideswipe collision will violently shake a vehicle and redirect it. The force and momentum of a large commercial truck can push another vehicle off the roadway and into other vehicles, guardrails, or other hazards along the roadside. As a result, a sideswipe collision can cause secondary collisions which result in personal injuries in addition to just the truck impact.
The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system. It originates at the base of the brain and extends out the skull and down the vertebrae. These vertebrae form the spinal column. These are very hard bones which encase the very fragile spinal cord.
The purpose of the spinal cord is to send messages up and down the spine to the brain and from the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system are the nerves which extend out of the spinal cord and to the limbs. The nerves extend all the the way to the toes and fingers. When the spinal cord is injured, messages from the toes may not extend to the brain.
In severe spinal cord injuries, the spinal cord could be severed and not send any messages. This can result in serious paraplegia or quadriplegia. Because a New Mexico sideswipe trucking accident causes a twisting and shifting of the victim’s vehicle, the force of the impact can also cause twisting and shifting of vertebrae. This can make them impinge on the spinal cord in the middle of the vertebrae. When this occurs, it can result in the severing and permanent disability.
Here at the NM Truck Accident Attorneys, our lawyers focus on trucking accidents and our staff is trained to work on complex medical and trucking cases. We have the experience and knowledge necessary to prove liability and demonstrate your damages to a court in order to obtain the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

I made the recipe with no scallions since I'm not typically a fan of their taste and also only used three eggs since it was just myself. I used the remaining ingredients, but just halved for the number of eggs I used. The eggs were good, but not as vibrant as I thought they would be. Perhaps since I didn't use the scallions, but I'm unsure. The taste was still good altogether. I'll also add a little more than a pinch of salt. | 2019-04-20T18:28:31 | https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Perico-Colombian-Eggs-with-Tomatoes-_-Peppers-2559799 |

The ALKARE Foundation Orphan Ministry is a non-profit organization founded on February 25, 1989 as a memorial to KARLA AFMAN. Karla was the only girl in the family, growing up with 5 brothers. After entering a very promising career, her life was cut short and she was killed by a drunk driver. Karla was an inspiration to many of her young friends, inviting them to seek and know Jesus. This wonderful memory of her and the need to bring the Good News to the youth was the initiation of help and outreach services to kids in need. | 2019-04-20T17:07:52 | http://www.alkare.org/get-involved/karla-afman/ |

You have put in a lot of effort and hard work to develop the products that you intend to provide to your customers. So, what should be done next to announce your presence to the world? Definitely, it is time for you to harness the potential of social media.
We cannot deny that the emergence of social media has brought about a paradigm shift in the equations that the companies shared with their customers. This is also because of today’s customer-oriented era compels companies to innovate consistently and according to the expectations of their customers. Since your customers are no different from the millions across the world who tend to speak their mind via social media, you can do little to help yourself but enhance the efficiency of your social media solutions.
In today’s technology-driven world where any online social forum is just a click away from a customer, he can log on to his profile and express his opinions about your services. Since customers worldwide have uninterrupted access to the Internet, the opinion expressed by your customer goes a long way in shaping the brand image of your enterprise. In this regard, it would not be wrong to state that a single bad statement is enough to ruin your reputation.
The advent and expansion of the Internet have increased the tech savviness of customers to a level where they look to the virtual world for everything. A service provider is likely to reach out to more customers through social networking websites that not only allow people to socialize and have fun but also encourages them to come out in the open with their point of view. Consequently, it is not unusual for companies to find their target audience on social networking forums.
As a matter of fact, social media became an integral component of people’s lives within no time. This is the reason for adopting a proactive approach towards social media is the need of the hour. We cannot deny that the use of social media for providing customer care is not just a strategy to gain the much needed competitive edge in the market, but also the new business obligation.
Don’t you feel that you need to channelize all your energies and attack the world of social media? Vcall Global understands that customer service has long back surpassed the conventional channels of phone service and risen to a level where social media is inevitable.
Being a part of the customer-focused business world, Vcall Global understands that you cannot survive without accepting social media wholeheartedly. We work with you to make your presence felt in the world of social media. It has always been our endeavor to provide excellent services to the ones whom we associate with. This implies that we would simply not create a Facebook page or open a Twitter account for your organization, but would also manage the presence of your brand on these social platforms.
We train our service representatives on the techniques of social media and integrate them with our contact center capabilities to optimize the potential of the platform. The social media need of every brand is different from that of its counterpart. The need is decided by the social media website that is utilized by the enterprise. Consequently, we analyze the expectations of your customers and maximize your presence on the sites that attract the attention of more customers. We not only manage blogs, forums, and social networking websites but also video sites as well. The use of advanced technologies at our facilities augments the efficiency of our service representatives who work with you. Therefore, companies looking to outsource customer service can be assured that consumers will stick with your brand for the ages through our social media support. | 2019-04-21T06:47:59 | https://www.vcallglobal.com/social-media-customer-care.html |

For a long time, I was the only one in my friend group who liked “geeky” things like Doctor Who. These days, I get to talk to my boss at my “Muggle job” (I work as a health educator at a university by day) about everything from Saga, to Game of Thrones, to Harry Potter.
There have always been spaces for geeks, San Diego Comic-Con has existed since 1970 - I’ve been an attendee/exhibitor since 2005. And as geek culture has become more mainstream, as the proliferation of geeks and nerds and fangirls expands, I have increasingly been drawn to spaces that are created with intentionality: small press expositions that feature indie artists and conventions geared towards marginalized communities.
Fact is, the conversations that I’ve had over the years have shifted. Once, I was perfectly content to be at a convention where my interactions usually subsisted of men who talked down to me about Doctor Who, A Song of Ice and Fire, or Batman. Who expected me to jump through hoops to prove that I was worthy of a conversation with them about their favorite fandoms. This was the norm, and I thought I was lucky enough to find people in any capacity who would recognize my references and sorta-kinda talk about them with me.
Now, not only have the demographics of people at conventions changed - you’re seeing many more women (sometimes more than men), but the people I get to fangirl with have also changed. I see more people who look like me, more women of color, more incredible cosplayers, more moms with their excited children. I have women who come to my booth every year in San Diego, excited to connect and talk about what their latest obsession is. THIS is the geeky life I signed up for.
With conventions like Geek Girl Con, Flame Con, ClexaCon, and the upcoming Universal FanCon, those who might not have found their space at comic conventions have been able to create and foster their own communities. When you don’t see yourself represented on the con floor, an amazing way to create that representation for future geeks is to do it yourself.
My favorite con moment in recent years happened at FlameCon this past August. I was there during a quiet moment, and had the chance to find a few of my favorite creators, all of whom were tabling there. Trungles, Wendy Xu, and Kate Leth have all had a profound impact on my journey to coming out as a bisexual woman. Having role models in the geek world who create breath-taking artwork, alongside being open and honest about their queer identities helped me to envision a life for myself where I could be out and advocate in similar ways. I went and picked up a card from Kate that states “Undeniable Proof: This card is to certify that ____ is, in fact, bisexual.” Kate filled in my name herself, which meant more to me than she will ever know.
Organized communities like Geek Girl Brunch, Geek Girl Pen Pals, and Facebook groups for “geek bosses” have helped connect me to other small business owners in the geek sector. My subscription box, FanMail, supports and collaborates with at least one small business owned by women/non-binary/gender nonconforming folx in each of our boxes. Over the last 2.5 years, we’ve created over 250 unique products and worked with over 60 different creators.
I consider the women I talk to who also run geeky small businesses to be my “Girl Gang,” a term I first saw used by artist Jen Bartel. We support, empower, and educate each other and work hard to create change in an industry that is still overwhelmingly run by men, and those with privileged identities.
The connections that I’ve created, the friendships I’ve been lucky to be part of, all speak to an overall shift in geek culture that I am incredibly excited and passionate about. I am a queer, bi-racial woman of color. I am a fangirl. And I have found my chosen family in geekdom.
Rose Del Vecchio, M.Ed., is the Fiercely Feminist Fangirl & Founder of FanMail at myfanmail.com, and a proud geek and fangirl. | 2019-04-22T16:20:28 | http://efniks.com/stories-of-us-pages/2017/11/7/finding-my-girl-gang-in-conventions-and-beyond |

Work4’s Social Recruiting Solutions allowed Melton Truck Lines to build a Facebook presence from scratch, grow their talent community. The company installed a branded Facebook Career tab on their Facebook Brand Page, and began importing jobs from their applicant tracking system to allow potential candidates to access their job opportunities and apply through Facebook.
Melton Truck Lines invested in W4 Pipeline to attract new potential candidates to the talent pool. Because Work4 is integrated with the Facebook ads platform, Melton was able to take advantage of intelligent targeting based on users’ profile information to attract quality drivers to their positions.
The Work4 Ads team ran Sponsored Stories to help grow the company’s fan base and spread brand awareness. They ran targeted ads as well to attract both active and passive potential candidates to specific open positions.
Quadrupled Facebook fan base 5 months after implementing their Work4 Solutions.
Reached 856,000 people through impressions, and brought 3,561 clicks and 1,474 likes in 3 months with W4 Pipeline.
In the first three months of 2013, over 90% of the company’s job views came from ads. The ads campaign to attract truck drivers resulted in only $0.36 CPC, saving Melton Truck Lines money on its Facebook advertising. | 2019-04-19T03:19:01 | http://www.work4labs.com/melton-truck-lines/ |
Clubscannan.ie was set up for a small rural film club, operating in South Conamara.

http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | It's true that nobody ever said life would be fair. Life isn't fair . except if you're a member of the liberal cultural elite - then life is fairer for you than for others.
Allow me to illustrate with a few examples in the recent news.
Country music singer Glen Campbell was sentenced Tuesday to 10 nights in jail and two years probation for a November drunken-driving hit-and-run collision.
Campbell pleaded guilty in May to leaving the scene of an accident and extreme driving under the influence. On Tuesday, the judge sentenced Campbell to 10 days.
In the county jail but granted a request for a work furlough from 7a.m. to 7p.m. Campbell's attorney, Larry Kazan, said the 68-year-old needed the furlough for his full-time rehearsal and practice schedule. Prosecutor Michael Denney said he had no objections to the release schedule.
This isn't the first time that movie stars, music stars, and other celebrities have been given this kind of "out patient" jail sentence. For 10 days Campbell basically goes about his normal business, but he has to sleep in the slammer.
Now, I don't think if I were arrested for a drunk hit-and-run collision they'd let me spend my jail time at home writing my column, do you? What is this "you can go free all day but just spend the nights in jail" cr-p? A jail term should be a jail term. I mean, isn't part of the punishment of going to jail the fact that you're NOT FREE? Oh, wait a minute, having to spend 10 full days and nights in jail would be AN INCONVIENCE for Campbell, I see. HEY, GLEN, THAT'S WHAT JAIL PUNISHMENT IS ALL ABOUT-IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE INCONVIENANT! But I guess we should be satisfied that he's at least sleeping in jail for a few days - if he had pleaded not guilty and had a jury trial, he would have gotten off completely scot-free.
Here's a hypothetical question for you. Suppose Ben Affleck and Matt Damon made a movie called "Black Chicks" where they played undercover FBI agents who put on black-face and dressed up like African-American women? How do you think Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and other "leaders of the black community" would enjoy that? (not much) Think the media would tear the film makers apart? (yep) Think Damon and Affleck would be accused of making fun of blacks?
How about a movie with a couple of black guys who put on white-face and dress up as white women? Well, I guess that's not considered offensive or belittling because that is exactly what "White Chicks" is about. This flick is starring the Wayans brothers, and the simple fact that they managed to get this premise made at all should tell you all you need to know about double standard Hollywood liberals. Remember how Ted Danson was slammed in the press several years ago because he put on black-face at a private party? It was done as a private joke and he was dating Whoppi Goldberg at the time, but he still got beat up for it. It ain't fair.
Following in the steps of Santa Monica, Malibu and Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Board of Stupid-visors approved a pilot project to ban beach smoking in the county's unincorporated areas until September 15. If you want to smoke you can still go out in the parking lot to do it, you just can't smoke on the sand or in the water. The county ban, along with similar restrictions at Los Angeles, Malibu and Santa Monica beaches, creates a smoke-free zone from Marina del Rey to the Ventura County/Los Angeles County line. I'm sure it won't be long before all California beaches will be no-smoking.
Now I know that people who crusade to ban smoking in every single aspect of public life are not necessarily all liberals. But many are. So how come these liberal people who would do away with public smoking have no problem with legalized marijuana? Why are marijuana cigarettes fine and dandy but other kinds of smokes are bad, bad, bad. Isn't second-hand pot smoke just as potent, or more so, than other smoke? It ain't fair.
The Los Angeles Board of Stupid-visors has also given in to the ACLU's demands to remove a tiny little cross from the county seal. The seal was created about 50 years ago and appears on just about every county building, car, notepad, police badge, you name it. There are many symbols within the seal, each symbol representing a part of the history of Los Angeles County. The cross represents the significant impact that the Spanish missions had in establishing Los Angeles county (indeed, all of California). That very same seal features Pomona, the Roman Goddess of fruit; smack dap in the middle and about ten times as large as the cross. The ACLU has no problem with the pagan goddess, of course, only the Christian cross.
This is yet another attempt by the secular left to remove all vestiges of religion from American public life - no matter what the historical facts may be. Three out of the five supervisors are willing to eliminate this tiny cross. Three people will change the history of Los Angeles County right in front of our eyes and the people won't even get a vote on it. Oh, I tell you folks, it ain't fair. | 2019-04-26T00:29:46 | http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/crosby061804.asp |
