"original": "By Aslam Abdullah, TMO Editor-in-Chief\nIt is another day in Pakistan and it is another assault on Shias in Pakistan. It does not matter how many have died, because the life of every human being is sacred. What matters is the continued helplessness of those who stand for human dignity and life. Fourteen-hundred years, have passed and the Muslim community and its scholarship, by and large, has failed to effectively develop a method to resolve its political, social cultural and theological differences. On the contrary the idea that the opposition must be eliminated physically has gained more popularity. It is a sad situation for every sincere and serious follower of the Quran and its eternal message of peace, freedom, unity and justice for all.\nThe Prophet (s) and his closest supporters including the first four Caliphs did not identify them as Shias or Sunnis. They had differences over their style of governance and their interpretation of Quran, but rarely did they demonstrate violent tendencies towards each other to settle them. Imam Ali (kw) did not exhort his supporters to take up arms against Caliph Abu Bakr (ra) or Omar (ra). Rarely did we find any reference in his or their sermons of cussing or cursing those who are often accused of usurping his right to leadership or challenging their authority.\nThe Shia and Sunni differences rest upon the issue of political and spiritual leadership of Umma. For 1.1 billion Sunnis the Khilafat that is important and for 350 million Shias it is the Imamat that is significant. Even though the majority of religious leaders of the two communities (leave alone the masses) would not be able to clearly identify the differences between the two approaches of governance and succession of the Prophet (s). For over 6 billion of people of the world, this debate is irrelevant. A great majority of non-Muslims have adopted political ideas that negate the philosophy of Imamat and Khilafat altogether. And in the most world, including the predominantly Shia Iran or Iraq or Sunni dominated Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, no one takes the khlafat or imamat seriously in political realms.\nAll other differences have stemmed from this basic issue that emerged in a tribal culture and played out in an despotic environment that was still adjusting to divine teachings pertaining to the sanctity of human life and dignity, equality, rights of women and the right to dissent.\nPeople usually interpret violent events such that took place in Pakistan with political spectacles. Some have already argued that India’s intelligence RAW, or CIA or Mossad might be involved in them as they want to destabilize Pakistan specially at a time, when China and Pakistan are increasing their level of cooperation in the upcoming port of Gawadhar in Baluchistan.\nRegardless, the fact is that the seeds of hatred often leading to violence are sown by those who claim to speak in the name of God and his prophets. They could have come together to look at the differences to decide that they would not resolve to violence to settle them, that they would refrain from using vulgar language to denounce each other and that they would deal the opposing viewpoints with respect.\nThe Divine teachings do not promote violence or terror. Their purpose is to help individuals to control their anger to create a peaceful environment so that people can learn to grow out of their differences. By emphasizing the differences, the clergy is not only defying the Divine teachings but rebelling against it, a sad reality that most of us has accepted and cherished.\nThe only way out is to stand up against these differences and assert that Muslims will not identify them with either Shia or Sunni or Hanafis, Maliks, Ibadis, Ismaelis, Hanbalis, Shafais, Malikis, Deobandis, Barelvis. The malice of disunity and conflict has pervaded our culture for long and it would take long before its impact can be reduced. The first thing we need is to have people who can say boldly and clearly that we are Muslims and we are part of the Umma of the Prophet (s). It means that we stop asking the question: are you a Sunni or Shia or this or that? It means that we stop fighting over differences that we see among ourselves. It means showing respect to differences even if the opponent is not willing to show respect to us.\nIf we do not change ourselves, both Shias and Sunnis would become irrelevant to Islam as they have already become irrelevant to the world. They would have only a nuisance value that through these killings they have been demonstrating. In the words of the Quran: “while that which is for the good of mankind remains on the earth. Thus Allah sets forth parables.†(13:17)"

"original": "Saturday, June 30, 2007\nThursday, June 28, 2007\nWhat surprises me also is that there is only one time I've taken my temperature in the past five days where the result was the normal 98.6. That was when I got home from the minor emergency clinic late Sunday night/Monday morning. I've been to that clinic twice and a specialist Wednesday, am filled to next week with antibiotics given through IV, a gigantic shot in my rear and two horse pills daily, but still this infection has the gall to stick around.\nThere's a battle raging inside me and when the fever gets like it was Wednesday night, I fear that I am losing brain cells, and not in a way where I can sigh and attribute the vanished thought to some long forgotten but over-the-top night from days gone by. No, this is brain cell loss through cooking. This infection is that iconic This is your brain on drugs commercial. The eggs are my brain cells sizzling on the hot surface of my very own bacterial infection. And that's turning me into a different person, a person who creates a graph of her fever spikes and posts it on her website.\nWednesday, June 27, 2007\nAs sweet as she has made him, he's still a gigantic animal, an unpredictable animal. And a BULL to boot. What's funny about this photo is that my friend is not a risk taker. When driving, she doesn't approach the speed limit, much less speed. She will manipulate rules but rarely breaks them. She's afraid of things that go bump in the night. And yet. And yet, without an ounce of hesitation, she'll skip-to-the-Lou-my-darlin' jump on the back of her gigantic schmoopy baby and give him a full body hug.\nNote his head is bigger than her body.\nMonday, June 25, 2007\nUnbelievably, the intake nurse gave me a bit of how bad can it really be? attitude after she asked me on a scale of one to ten, to rate my pain. I did not hesitate, ten. She said, Really, ten? Ten as if your leg had been cut off and you were sitting here bleeding right now? I have no idea why this woman in the care-giver field would pick that moment to challenge me, but I mustered up every bit of strength I had to respond, feeling at that moment in my high-fevered dementia that it was up to me to save myself and she was the one thing standing in my way. I looked up at her and told in my most serious tone of voice, punctuated by a stream of tears down my face, that I had no idea what it felt like to have my leg cut off but that I had a very high fever and hurt all over and was there because I needed help and not because to debate her on my interpretation of how much pain I was feeling. Then I took a breath, put my pounding head in my hands and\nIt took five hours, 3,000 milligrams of Tylenol and two IV bags of antibiotics combined with two bags of saline solution to get my fever down and the infection under control. Two weeks of antibiotics will complete the job.\nToday, my body is in a different kind of pain. It feels as if a cavalry has run through it with a hundred thundering hooves, it feels like the aftermath of a war that has raged within it, it feels like the shattered walls and weeds growing where bombs landed on neighborhoods in Dubrovnik, Croatia.\nSunday, June 24, 2007\nFriday, June 22, 2007\nWay better than the new stamps on my passport, this speeding ticket I got in Croatia. I've never been proud of a speeding ticket before but this one I was a bit excited about. An expensive trip token for the scrap book, I admit. But, how many people can boast a Croatian speeding ticket? It cost 300.00 Kuna on the spot (about 55.00 USD), and I was terrified by the uniforms and very serious demeanor of the two cops, not to mention that my imagination put me in an 800-year old underground prison with Cuttlefish soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and no wall jacks for charging my Blackberry.\nThe radar gun was held together with gaffing tape and I wasn't the only one pulled over. I think we all got tickets for 89 kilometers in a 70 (55 in a 40, roughly). Here at home, I might have questioned the speed trap's convenient location to the only ATM to be found for 200 miles. I might have been a bit mouthy and resistant. Just a little. There though, I was so nervous that I did everything but offer to polish his boots and salute when dismissed. Seriously, when the cop told us to go now, I was so happy and relieved that I almost hugged him. But that would have been a bit much. I did smile and wave though.\nThursday, June 21, 2007\nIt reminds me of Michael, this song does. Michael who has been gone for so many years now, I can't tell you if the years are 12 or 13 or 15. It's no longer important, how long he's been gone. What's important is that he was here. AIDS stole him from his life, his family, his footprints and his hugs, all he had to give. He was robbed. So were we.\nI have a framed photo of Michael on my bedside table. In it, he's standing in the parking lot of his apartment complex, looking right at me, his arms spread out as wide as his grin. He's standing right there, alive and bright. Alive with life. It was just a moment.\nWhat would you notice about me, I wonder, if I hadn't loved him. What would be absent from my face? I think my heart is a crime scene and I wonder what is obvious. There are bloody stains, fingerprints, residue from the fighting and resistance. Usually, I am careful with love but with Michael I let it go. With Michael I had helium lifting my heart. He was my friend.\nMy life, it's at an age where it's less about what I've been taught and more about what I've learned. It's about the lives I know, and the lives I knew. My life has a bedside table, upon which are carefully placed silver-framed photos of people I love and have loved. There's a lot of death there on that table. Lives gone, relationships shifted, children grown, my uncle gone, my father gone. Every night though, every night, I glance that way and I look at those faces, and I remember that love is not what happens to you, love is how you happen to others.\nAnd just before I fall asleep, I wonder what song is in their heart, I wonder about little Jackie Paper's lifelong friend. And I feel my heart lift, and I smile about the other side of the rainbow.\nMy luggage was never found. The irony is that all the stuff I had to buy - shoes, underwear, clothes and a new rolling duffle bag - was lost by the airline on my return flight. Seriously. Seeing the silver lining, all I can say about that is I have a lot less laundry to do than I thought I would. Have I ever learned how to travel light.\nI have so much to show and tell you. But right now there are no less than four stacks of mail calling my name, and there are those two lost baggage claim forms that need to be filled out and returned, so I'll leave you with this serene image taken off the coast of one of the 1500 Islands off Croatia. Nice, yeah?\nSunday, June 17, 2007\n1. The Sea: Adriatic\n2. The Yacht: 51' Sailing Yacht Teja\n3. The Captain: MY Personal Hurricane\n4. The Companion: My friend, GR\n5. The Times: Good, very very good\nSaturday, June 09, 2007\n1. In courtyard of some 1000 year old castle and listening to I think Polka music.\n2. No longer care about lost luggage.\n3. Having fun. Polka music.\nI think the funny thing is writing, \"some 1000 year old castle.\" Because, you know, there are just so many and who can keep track?\nOh, and it wasn't Polka music. But there was dancing that reminded me of how people would dance to Polka music, if there was Polka music playing.\nThursday, June 07, 2007\nI can't figure out if the world has it out for me or if I am truly blessed. On the one hand, we did lose a passport and have to cancel our flight to Madrid and then find a hotel in NYC when apparently everyone else on the planet was trying to do the same thing but we did score a great room with cushy beds and fluffy towels and very close to Central Park. But then my friend had to spend the next day in the icky dirty Federal Building off Hudson just North of the Holland Tunnel while I stayed at the hotel and re-worked our hotel and train and connecting flight reservations. But on the other hand she did get a new passport in all-told 16 hours from when the original was lost, and that includes the seven hours of sleep.\nBut then when we went to Newark airport to pick up our bags that were pulled from the flight the night before, we were told that they were sent to Madrid and were waiting for us there. That was good but it still meant another cab ride, this one for two hours in traffic to get from that airport to JFK.\nBut then there was that Air France Salon. And the Air France Business Class flight to Paris which was like flying on my living room sofa if my living room sofa came with four star service and dinner that started with crab claws over mixed greens.\nDiary, I was feeling pretty good and hopeful when we landed in Madrid after our connecting flight through Charles De Gaul, but when we went for our bags it seemed like no one in the world would cough up to any knowledge of any baggage service whatsoever. On any flight. On any airline. Baggage? What is baggage? What is lost baggage? We have no time for this, please move to your terminal.\nWe missed our flight to Barcelona trying to find those bags because we had to run on foot from one terminal to another and then go back through security and I was on the verge of losing my cool demeanor at this point because my oh-so-comfy shoes were not so comfy anymore. And I was tired. And hungry. Air France First Class was a distant memory.\nSomehow we got on the next flight. Everyone behind the counter was making a big deal about how inconvenient it all was but then they gave us passes to the Air Europa lounge and we ate sandwiches and had a drink and were feeling okay about things. Until, that is, I called Continental about those missing bags and had the misfortune of having Monique answer my call. When Monique listened to my story and said that I had to file a missing baggage claim with Air France, I did come a bit unglued, I did. But, Diary, am I to be blamed for that? I think not. I think that Monique was painting half-moon detail on her acrylic fingernail extensions and wasn't really hearing me at a time when I needed to be heard.\nAnd, Diary, I don't mean to complain for you know that I do appreciate all the gifts in my life and I am able to let a lot roll off my back but between Monique's can't-help-you attitude and the front desk of our hotel in Barcelona telling us that we lost our reservations and can only stay here tonight, well, I was as my mother would say, feeling Fed up.\nOr I was feeling fed up. We unloaded our stuff in our tonight-only hotel, cleaned up a bit, recycled our dirty clothes and walked along Las Ramblas until we found an outdoor cafe where we ordered champagne and Paella. Musicians strolled, couples held hands, cyclists rolled past. Girls giggled, laughter hovered. We are in Barcelona.\nThere are shops that will be open tomorrow. It's only clothes, right?\nMy sister-in-law who has connections is on the case of our missing luggage. Which means we are lucky, I think. Still, I also think that pulling back 100% of what I had packed is a bit extreme a packing lesson. But having Paella and champagne on the main avenue in Barcelona on a warm and breezy summer night when all the characters and lovers and lonely people and hippies and vegetarians and dog-lovers mingle, even if you're in dirty clothes and have no luggage, is really okay.\nMaybe we're just lucky in our bad luck. Diary, do you think that could be?\nWednesday, June 06, 2007\nMe: The President's Club doesn't offer salads. Or grilled vegetables.\nHer: Or Salmon. Or little bottles of Lemon Olive Oil.\nMe: Or French champagne. Or French cheese. Or Perrier.\nHer: And they wanted us to call them Freedom Fries.\nParis was never in the itinerary. For that matter, neither was New York.\nThis is the story of a passport lost somewhere between Houston and Cleveland. It's a story of some wonderful and helpful people at Continental Airlines, from the staff in the President's Club to the staff in Baggage and the people at OnePass. It's the story of bags being pulled from the flight we were supposed to be on, and nobody being able to do a thing but so many people wanting to do so much. International travel laws, the ones about having to have a Passport, they don't bend. It's also a story of a cab driver who last night gave us so much good advice and information that as I write, my friend is at a Passport office he suggested, the one that's not the busiest in the city, getting a new passport. In record time. In this city.\nOur trip resumes in ten hours. Or so we think. In the meantime, I'm heading out for a stroll. Might as well see some sights while I'm here.\nMonday, June 04, 2007\nThat was five years ago and I can no longer remember her name but every time I pack a suitcase, I think of her.\nThe problem is that I'm not a big fan of pashminas. The whole draping thing gets on my nerves after a very short time, as in before I get out of the house. That leaves me to her first bit of advice. But if I do that, then I assume that the 40% rule would snag at least one pair of the shoes I want to bring, and I have plans for each pair, so I cannot do that. Definitely then, it means 40% of the clothes. How can I travel with only 60% of the clothes I need? I have plans for each outfit, so I cannot do that either.\nAs for toiletries, however, I can bend. I've transferred full-size items into small bottles, cutting back the total product by at least 70%, so that should help.\nI've also put back four headbands, two scarves and three barrettes.\nI'm sure I'll notice the difference all that makes when I'm lugging my suitcase across Europe. A suitcase that I'll have to unzip often to be sure it's filled with cute outfits and adorable shoes and not the ton of bricks that someone stuffed in there when I wasn't looking.\nSunday, June 03, 2007\nWhen my friends arrived, we were all kinds of excited to be with each other and sitting on the hill on a Saturday night in June. Cold beer, good friends, outdoor venue. Nice night. For two of us, this show was our seventh Stevie Nicks and/or Fleetwood Mac concert together, for others our sixth, our third. For one of us, the first. For me, I was at all of them and then some.\nEarly on in the evening I ran into a friend who was with some other friends, a couple of which had second row seats. Before I could stop her, she arranged for a swap-out mid-concert. She'd come get me, give me the ticket and I'd go sit that close to Stevie Nicks. I was excited to say the least but not sure it could be pulled off. Until later in the night, that is, when I had a ticket thrust in my hand and was walking down the hill and through the aisles and showing my ticket to countless attendants. Suddenly there I was.\nAnd a funny thing happened to me at that moment. I wasn't excited anymore. I wanted to be back on the hill, back with my friends. Being up close was an opportunity I thought I wanted and I did want, until I got there. Once there, it was an isolating experience; it was just a seat. When I heard the initial notes of Landslide, my heart sank. One friend in particular always gives me a big hug when that song is played in concert, always holds my hand and sings with me. And in doing so, it's like our friendship rests on a hammock, swining lazy and supportive. I like that feeling, and I missed it.\nAfter that song, I thanked the two girls (who I did not know) and said I was going back to the hill. They graciously said I could have the seat for the rest of the night and though I explained to them that I'd rather be on the hill, they thought I was just being considerate and so we went round and round in a polite No-please-do-stay, Oh-no-I-just-couldn't sort of exchange. Until I left.\nAnd when I got back on the hill again, there were my friends, chatting, singing and dancing. I sat on the grass and took my rightful place among them. And I felt good, and at home.\nAfter the show, as I drove the long drive south in the quiet of my car, the almost-full moon hung wide and yellow in the dark night sky. I smiled at that glow, and had an unfamiliar feeling inside. Something was missing. I realized there weren't any storms in my head and heart. What I felt was peace. With my life, with the night. With my father, my mother, my sister, my family. With the past and the future. It's been a very long time since I've had that absence of turmoil, since I've felt a sense of everything being okay in my life. It won't last forever but at least it was there, is still there. As I drove on beneath that moon, I realized that the important thing to me is not where I sit, but who I'm sitting with. It can make all the difference in the world."

"original": "It’s probably no surprise that the majority of people don’t floss enough (or at all). Some people think that taking out floss and wrapping it around their finger can be too much work. But even with dental flossers, toothpicks, interdental brushes and even battery-powered or electrical flossing devices people are still not flossing as much as they should be. So if we skip out on it so much, is it really that important? YES!\nWhen you don’t floss, you risk letting gingivitis and cavities form between your teeth. Flossing prevents dental plaque buildup and bacteria that leads to irritation in the gums that causes bleeding and inflammation. It also leads to the growth of harmful bacteria that will destroy the enamel between your teeth, consequently forming a cavity.\nIf left untreated, gingivitis can turn into periodontitis which is also linked to diabetes and low birth weight in newborn babies. The best way to prevent other serious side effects from occurring is to practice good dental hygiene and to visit a dentist regularly for periodic check-ups.\nFailing to floss on a regular basis and remove the plaque between your teeth can turn into tartar as well, which cannot be removed with toothpaste. Since tartar is what eats away at your teeth and gum sand could eventually result in your tooth falling out.\nIf you need a regular dental check-up, teeth whitening, cosmetic fillings, and more, Dr. Austin and his team can help you create the smile you’ve been dreaming of this season at our award-winning Arkansas family dental practice.

"original": "Social media generates twice as many marketing leads as traditional forms of engagement, such as tradeshows, direct mail and PPC advertising. As you engage your customers on social media, it can be tempting to treat all platforms on which you have a presence as a single entity; instead of considering the best unique strategies for each platform, you may create a one-dimensional plan to rule them all.\nHowever, each audience’s demographics, habits and tastes are different, and you should tailor content accordingly. For the best social media marketing strategy, consider each social media platform separately. As a Managed Service Provider, here are the best social media platforms you can leverage to effectively generate more leads.\nWith 1.9 billion unique monthly users, Facebook fields the largest audience by nearly an order of magnitude. If your target customers are in the millennial or Generation X age range, Facebook is the best place to reach them. Facebook has the most devoted users – 70 percent log on daily – and three-quarters of its users log on looking for interesting content.\nThis is a double-edged sword: Users will engage with and share interesting content, but you must also publish a steady stream of content in order to keep them coming back.\nTo start, create a Facebook Business Page for your company. This will get you access to the analytics, paid promotion opportunities, and content creation tools available to businesses. You’ll want to customize the page with a personalized cover photo and Call to Action button.\nWhen posting, visual content is best as it is more likely to catch viewers’ attention and 40 times more likely to be shared. Also, remember when posting that Friday is for Facebook. The site receives the majority of its comments, likes and shares on the last day of the work week.\n- Run a poll\n- Share your poll results (this one should be a no-brainer)\n- Excerpts from your blog\n- Ask for help solving a problem (people love to feel helpful)\n- Expert tips\nLinkedIn doesn’t have the most monthly users of all of the social media platforms, but it does have a unique audience. LinkedIn is no longer only for job seekers. It is the only platform that appeals more to the 30- to 49-year old audience than to the 18- to 29-year old audience. It is also one of the best platforms for reaching more affluent prospects, as the majority of its users earn $75,000 per year or more.\nIn addition to providing a great marketing platform for your business, LinkedIn can provide some of the best sales opportunities and increase your credibility. In fact, you could even potentially forgo a blog and instead use LinkedIn’s thought leadership posts – depending on how often you post.\nTo start on LinkedIn, you’ll need to create a LinkedIn Company Page. As with all social media platforms, your company page should be a conduit to your website. LinkedIn has the added benefit of helping to drive search engine users to your site. Online resources like Google Adwords and SEMrush can help you determine the keywords to capture your target customers’ searches.\nYour company page should directly address your target customers. There can be a sales component to your “about” section, but keep it informative first, sales-oriented second. You should use LinkedIn to show your company’s “human face.” Whatever imagery you use should reflect your brand image and be unique – i.e. no stock photos.\nThe key to succeeding on LinkedIn is through active prospecting. Reach out to your community through Groups and the site’s “Pulse” Publishing platform. Groups can help small businesses like MSPs broaden the expertise of their networks. That said, Groups are a two-way street: If you want expertise, you have to provide expertise in return. It’s best to check-in to your groups at least once a month.\nA similar rule applies to Pulse posts: information sells on LinkedIn; keep the sales pitches to a minimum. The majority of LinkedIn engagement is in the middle of the week – Tuesday through Thursday – with a peak from 5-6 p.m.\n- Repost your blog posts\n- Showcase your work with presentation slides\n- Post a video of an interview with a key employee or customer\nTwitter attracts one of the most educated crowds. Almost 30 percent of all internet users who have college degrees are on Twitter. Twitter is also one of the best lead generators of all social media platforms. B2B marketers have reported generating twice as many leads on Twitter as they have with any other platform. Finally, it is great for improving your customer rapport; almost three-quarters of small- to medium-businesses prefer Twitter for making quick replies to client issues.\nAs an added bonus, Google now indexes tweets, so they can appear in search results. For you, this means that you can use Twitter to drive website traffic, provided you use SEO keywords to ensure your tweets show up in search engine results.\nThe peak times for Twitter posts are Wednesdays from 12-6 p.m. For optimal engagement, tweeting at least five times per day is recommended. This may sound like a lot, but remember that tweets are 140 characters or less, so you are really posting only five sentences per day.\nAs with most Social Media, images sell on Twitter. According to Twitter’s data, viewers are three times more likely to engage with visual content. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can include up to four photos in a single Tweet.\nThe real trick to Twitter is mastering the hashtag. Think of hashtags as the SEO keywords of Twitter. Incorporate hashtags that will drive traffic is to use popular events, such as holidays or local events.\n- Link to a recent blog or LinkedIn post\n- Run a poll\n- Ask questions\n- Retweet relevant content\nThe most important thing for MSPs to remember is consistency over quantity. It is better to have one or two dedicated social media platforms to which you post regularly without fail than to cover all of the platforms with sporadic bursts of content. So review the above list with your audience and the time you have available for social media in mind, and choose the platform(s) you feel best fit your needs and schedule.\nOnce you know which platforms you will use and how often you want to post, create a calendar for your content. You can use an online content calendar template, like Buffer or Hootsuite for Twitter, or you can create one in-house. Use your calendar to map out your content and the timing of your posts. If you have a blog, you can base all your other posts around the content of your blog entries.\nWhen it comes to creating content, remember your target customers are busy people, too. They do not have time to spend an hour reading through lengthy posts. Keep your content brief, engaging and most of all, useful. The key is to leave them actively seeking more, not drive them away with dull or long discourses.\nYou should now be well-equipped to start your own social media marketing plan. So pick a platform (or three), create your calendar, and begin engaging with potential leads."

"original": "I am a reasonably attractive woman. I walk with confidence, dress well, try to smile when I make eye contact with people, and I even add a sway to my hips.\nI am a plus-sized woman, 6’0 tall, and I have natural hair. And, believe it or not, I get hit on a lot. Pretty much daily. Always have, even when I was married.\nI was with the same man for 4.5 years and I’ve finally reached the point where I am ready to date again.\nHere’s my question: What now?\nWhen you’ve thought you’ve found “The One”… the person you pledged your life to, the person you had children with, the person who promised you forever, you think “Hey, life is pretty nicely wrapped up. Now I can focus on other things.” But then, when it ends, you are forced to re-evaluate, re-prioritize, and really figure out the next step.\nI’m 30. I should say, I’m ONLY 30. By no means an “old maid”, by no means too old to think about the next one. Too young to resign myself to never finding love again. Yet, I have doubts, fears, concerns.\nWill I be able to trust another person again? Will I be able to let my guard down enough to let someone new in? Do I even have the desire/interest to try this all over again? How will I proceed now, being a mom?\nThe latter is the biggest issue for me. I’ve seen some people bring all kinds of people around their children all willy nilly. I’ve also seen some people all but bar people from ever encountering their children. There has to be a happy medium. I’m trying to figure that out. I think I decided that I dont want to bring anyone around my kids until we’ve been “serious” for at least a year. Part of me wants to say until we’re talking moving in or marriage, but part of determining that is how the person interacts with my kids. Thats a key factor that wasnt an issue beforehand.\nSo, Ive been on dates. Met some interesting people. Trying to figure out who stands out. I see potential in one person, but again, there are some fears. I don’t ever want to end up in a situation remotely like what I experienced in my marriage. At the same time, I know I want companionship again. I want to have someone take care of my heart and soul. I want someone to come home to.\nI’m being patient. Things are still new for me. The best part is the feeling that I’ve finally released myself from my marriage and the feelings therein, and I’m finally ready to move forward.\nWish me luck 🙂"

Jean, along with Gabriele Colangelo, is also among 30 semifinalists for the inaugural LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton Young Fashion Designer Prize.\n“Azzedine has been one of the biggest influences in my life. He has always been such a strong, loving, fatherly figure to me. I call him Papa. His designs are indescribably unique, they are pieces of art. He knew how to make the female form look its loveliest. I have so many memories of him; my favorite might be during my first show with him in Paris. He liked me and he wanted to help me get more work. He called all his friends at Kenzo and Comme des Garcons, and asked them to book me. They said, ‘But she can’t walk!’ And he said, ‘but she has such a great ass!' His friendship and support has been the great privilege of my career. I can't imagine life without him.

This becomes a purely industrial approach,” the late designer told WWD in an interview last year. “But anyway, the rhythm of collections is so stupid. It’s unsustainable. There are too many collections.” Read more about the iconic designer’s life and work on wwd.com, link in bio. #wwdfashion #azzedinealaia (📷: @WWD Archive, 1986) #alaia\nSneaker reselling app @goat’s latest exhibit, \"The Greatest: New York,\" tells the story of New York's sneaker culture.

"original": "We work alongside the specialist team at DEPI to deliver an operational support system that is vital to the management of emergencies across the State of Victoria.\nWe worked in partnership with the Department of Environment and Primary Industries to develop, maintain and support the award-winning eMap system.\nTo ensure eMap is a reliable, resilient and powerful tool, we provide technical expertise and advice with the help of cross-agency domain specialists.\nWe introduced technical disciplines into the maintenance and deployment of eMap which have helped to transition the system from its initial release.\nWe developed a suite of data management processes that ensure the data presented in eMap is current and have created new tooling in the application to enhance the system’s capability.\nBetter processes and tools\nWe introduced a series of processes and tools including Versioning, Continuous Integration and Automated Deployment that help DEPI manage change across eMap safely.\neMap is a large, complex system under constant change. During fire season the system performs a vital operational function. It was very important that we ensured the state of the overall system at any given time was well understood and we were also able to propagate changes to the system in a managed way.\neMap is supported by Geocortex Essentials and ESRI’s ArcGIS Server in a high-availability environment. Changes to all aspects of the system are managed through the Git version control system. Continuous Integration is used together with advanced deployment scripts to allow the system to be automatically updated across all environments, including automatic deployment of all ArcGIS Map and Geoprocessing services.\nAutomated Data Management\nWe created a series of services which provide interfaces into the eMap system allowing external systems to access eMap data as well as push vital information into the eMap environment.\neMap is a mapping system that relies on being continually updated with current data. This is especially important when the system is used in an emergency environment when critical decisions must be made on the most accurate and up to date data available.\nWe exposed a series of geoprocessing services via ArcGIS Server. These services allow specialist teams to push data, such as infrared fire scan images and the output from Rapidfire predictive models directly and automatically into eMap. The data is synchronised across the high-availability eMap environment and can be immediately used to make informed decisions.\nWe have developed a number of features into the eMap system to extend and enhance its capability, including enhanced printing services and tools that assist fire management professionals to approve and publish predictive impact zones.\nPrinted maps still perform a vital role in emergency management. Being able to quickly and seamlessly move from a digital map to a printed map is important. We used Esri technology to build a print solution that enables users to accurately create large scale printed maps from the web-based eMap system.\nThe control of information within an emergency is extremely important; field-based observations and automated predictions must be carefully analysed and considered before sharing with wider audiences. We designed workflows and automated data creation and publication processes that allow other agencies to access vital data once it has been approved.\nWe also provided custom Python modules that are made available through Esri’s ArcGIS Server. These services support both the printing and approval features and are consumed from within Geocortex workflows.\nWe now work alongside the specialist team at DEPI to deliver an operational support system that is vital to the management of emergencies across the State of Victoria."

"original": "By Placement Chair Stephanie Lopez\nWorking the oblique is a reference to the extra effort that is today required if we are to use immediate resources to raise awareness of our presence on the planet and, yes, our efforts to seek employment. There is so much emphasis on social media and networking. When it comes to “showing up” for that potential job change lurking on the horizon, try boosting your image on the extremely popular LinkedIn. Many of you may already have created a profile in which case it is important to maintain your creation with current information about who you are in “The World of Work”. The World of Work includes certifications that you have completed, any recent changes in work history, and interests that you feel will add to a broader professional picture of you that might catch the eye of recruiters. More importantly, however, it is a ready resource on a resume as not everything fits neatly on a one or two-page submission to a potential employer or in those neat little fields that need to be filled in when filling out an online application. Your LinkedIn profile does contain a URL link for referral. Some application processes ask about the presence of a LinkedIn profile.\nI also find that any tangential interests you have, as in groups available through LinkedIn, will help bolster your connections. For example, I follow healthcare and technology information and where those two fields are in play with one another is of great interest to me so I belong to HIMSS (Health Information and Management Systems Society) and supply chain groups. Information from these two areas are always in my LinkedIn account and keep me current with issues, ideas, and the latest sharing of knowledge. This could be of importance if you have not been in these fields for some time and want to know what is “up” in the current moment, what might be sparking discussion.\nPlease remember that a social media presence is passive. It only works as an assist to the splendid person you are during that all critical elevator speech whose hallmark is the compressed two minutes (extended play version) where you talk about who you are, your passions, and what you do. A genuine encounter can lead to the next job potential. If the rapport is sincere, it will be remembered. As will your business card with your handwritten cell phone number given at the right moment when genuine encounter meets opportunity!\nBest wishes on the job hunt,"

Liver resection is the ideal option for solitary or limited multifocal HCCs in patients with preserved liver function (1). The rate of HCC recurrence is known to be associated with cirrhosis progression. Surgical indications for HCC associated with portal hypertension remain controversial, however, liver resection could be one of option in selected patients with mild portal hypertension, considering the shortage of donors for liver transplantation (1). In this group of patients, careful consideration in surgical candidacy with assessment of hepatic functional reserve, as well as, management of portal hypertension are extremely important in order to avoid postoperative complications such as ascites and liver failure."

"original": "Preparation is essential when selling your food product to a distributor\nFood businesses that want to sell their food to a distributor can benefit from adjusting their product price, configuring a pallet pack size, checking references and much more.\nMany food manufacturers have the common misconception that a food distributor is a marketing solution for their food product. However, large food distributors mainly serve as a logistics solution for food manufacturers who have built up and managed sales in 15-25 stores.\nIf you have this level of sales and believe you are ready for a large food distributor, start with asking your current stores whether they are open to additional distributors or whether they only use their current distributors. Regardless of who the distributor is, here are some quick tips to preparing your product and business for use of a distributor:\nPricing Your Product\nIf you have been serving as your own distributor up until now and have been absorbing the costs of delivery, you will need to reduce the wholesale cost of your product to deduct the “delivery expense” from your price. This will then position you to have a product price that allows for a distributor mark-up when they sell your product to the store. Since stores will expect to pay approximately the same price they have always paid for your product, this reduction in your price to the distributor will help ensure consistent pricing of your product on the shelf.\nRefrigerated and Frozen Needs\nA high volume of unit sales will be expected for most distributors to carry your perishable product. This will assure them of a consistent income from your company’s product. A licensed, temperature-controlled warehouse is critical for refrigerated and frozen products. Low-volume companies will have to find an alternative such as a small distributor or their own refrigerated or frozen cargo van as they maintain and build their sales.\nPallet Your Product\nAs you produce at a higher volume, your company will need to have your product on pallets to reduce the amount of handling of your product. Understand how many cases high and wide your distributors prefer.\nDelivery to the Distributor\nYou will still need to get your product to the distributor so determine how you or your co-packer will carry out this logistics step.\nIn-Store Shelving and Expired Product Checks\nDetermine and understand the distributor’s role. The most common role is to “drop” the shipment at the back door with the manufacturer being responsible for putting the product on the shelf and checking for old product. If the distributor does more than this, the percentage they charge will most likely be more to pay for these services.\nPayment and Expenses\nWhen you use a distributor, you are selling your product to them, not the store. Understand how you get paid and what the timeline is. Most commonly you will wait 30 days from delivery. Also, learn about the policy of the distributor for shrinkage (when your product does not sell in the store or expires) as you may end up buying the product back.\nAsk the distributor what other product lines they carry so you can check with those companies to determine their level of satisfaction with the distributor.\nAs a manufacturer, you still need to market your product in the stores. Whether it is coupons, price drops, Buy-One-Get-One (BOGO’s) or demonstrations, you will need to coordinate these with the store yourself and pay part or all of the price for such price drops. Build a relationship with food store managers is essential. Plan to spend time on this critical part of your business.\nThe MSU Product Center, in partnership with Michigan State University Extension, provides free business counseling for product development, package selection and marketing strategies that will help Michigan entrepreneurs commercialize high-value, consumer–responsive food products. For more information, visit the MSU Product Center website or call 517-432-8750."

"original": "Abusive relationships can harm a person in ways more than one. They not only affect a person physically but mentally too. One can say that the physical signs of abuse are just the tip of the iceberg. Hence, in order to get over such a relationship one needs to make more effort than you can imagine. It is almost like changing your lifestyle, you will have to put in the effort and need to have strong will power and dedication.\nWhile coming out of the relationship you will have a hundred questions which will seem really difficult to answer but as they say, time is the best medicine. And things will start seeming clearer with time.\nTake your own sweet time\nIt will take time to recover, such things never happen instantly. So it is important for you to be patient. Let it take how much ever time it takes but come out a stronger and a more confident human being. Also, there will be times when others might add to the misery, that is when you need to draw a line and tell people to back off. Tell your friends if you want to or not want to talk about the relationship. Tell them how you’re trying to move on and save yourself the trouble of dealing with the same questions every day.\nFind a confidant\nAt such a time, you will need somebody you can trust with your feelings. Look for a true friend, a supporter or go seek a licensed counselor. This is the time when your morale needs a boost, you need renewed confidence, and a higher self esteem and only confidants can help you get there. They will stop you from going in the wrong direction, will tell you how you are absolutely amazing on your own and how the world is waiting for your awesomeness. So let it all out in front of friends who are willing to lend you a ear.\nThis can be done in any way you wish to do it. The best way to come out of a controlling and an abusive relationship is to express whatever you have hidden inside you. Let it flow out of you, become a painter or a poet, write or sing, dance if you want to but get rid of whatever burdens your heart. Let the world know what all you had to endure and what all you still have inside of you, let everyone know how strong you are and how unabashedly creative your soul is.\nGet back to normal life\nYou are the only one who can bring things back to normal. Getting back to the regular schedule will make you feel like you’re on the right path, it will make you feel stable, give you the time to spend time doing constructive stuff and keep you away from things that are detrimental to your personal growth. So, go back to the schedule you had before you got into the relationship, start considering yourself and things that you like to do important and start living a normal, carefree life.\nAn abusive relationship can destroy you beyond repair but it is only up to you how to rise from the ashes and become a phoenix that is not only strong but also encouraging to the people who might be sailing in the same boat as you. Work on yourself, invest time in yourself and come out a much better and a stronger person. Also, investing in yourself will always give you results and your efforts will never go waste."

Clearly \"each n in |N has property P\" does not mean \"all n in |N have property P\" if we assume that \"all n in |N\" might not exist.

E.g Each natural number is a natural number can be proved by induction.\n1 is a natural number. If n is a natural number n+1 is a natural number Each n in |N is a natural number.\nOne gets the same \"contradictions\" if one uses potential infinity rather than actual infinity."

Now the Hells Belles is also the name of a roller derby team near me in RL, but that is just a side note. Also I’ve been assured this isn’t a Lesbian MC, although they’re welcome. It’s a women only MC so gents, put your peckers in your pants and ladies put your leather and flannels on, get your unicorn strap ons equipped and fart glitter if applicable. Don’t ask it’s been a weird day. 🙂\nThis is all on a Half sim and I have to say I am impressed with the amount of track they have here. Well done Clairebear, very well done.\nOkay starting at the bottom of the track you have a great beach to hang out at, there are rafts, floats to lay on, boards to surf on, jet skis, some lounge areas and a couple hot tops. great shit here. Also if you jump in the water and swim a bit you’ll find a sunken pirate ship among some reefs. Well done. Love to see creativity. Also if you’re into fishing there is a 7 seas fishing area. I haven’t fished in awhile but I do enjoy it.\nOkay let’s talk about this track. It’s all Mesh track, well put together by Clairebear and it really is a lot of fun. Now this is a riding track, there is not stop and smell the roses, or rub the thorns some where that tickles. You get on your fucking bike and your ride it. This track is well thought out and well put together. Claire has taken great pride in lining her textures and seams up. I couldn’t find one fucking seam to complain about. Damn it! Now there are some translucent textures where you can see the edges butt up against each other but I can’t count that because it’s just SL being SL.\nOh and tonights show is on the other monitor is “Cam sluts, the other tasty treat” And Scrubs on and off. Dr. Reed loves the cock.\nAround 1007 Meters in the air you’re gonna launch your happy ass up a long incline and you’re going to land on a platform where the two club houses are situated. As well as some games, a karaoke area if you wanna sing like an idiot. The only song I can sing even remotely well is Bohemian rhapsody and even then I sound like a fucktard. Lovely thought I know. There is a hang out on top of the building if you just wanna chill out and meet new people. They also have a board up that has links to other MCs and tracks. Also don’t forget to tip the track if you like it.\nBack to the track. There is plenty more to go here and it just keeps going up. Sharp inclines, turns, straight aways and just some bad ass riding. Now this is a bit of a challenging track, which was awesome. I road it several times and it doesn’t get old I think you’ll all feel the same as I do.\nAt 1390 Meters in the air there is a drone game. This looks interesting, I wanna get some people together and go try this, it looks really cool…..hang on somebody is fucking texting me. Okay I’m back. So yeah where was I… Oh yeah the drones. This looks interesting to me and you know I can’t focus on anything for very long so I hope this is pretty cool\nWhen you get to the top you will find another set of games, feel free to check them out. I am going to go back and try the Golf driving range one, that looks pretty pisser, and you can aim at exploding targets. We all know of my love for shit blowing up, well this is no exception. There is also a bowling alley, some fucking bumper ball game, some tv’s and a shooting range. Oh yeah and Duck Hunt, if you remember the old Nintendo entertain system than you remember this fucking game. Absolutely love this game and it’s a real shot in the old gaming vein. All the comforts of home!\nSo in ending this edition of profanity in litrature I must ask, with a women MC why did I not see one sandwich? Seriously i’m hungry, what the fuck? 🙂 Okay to be serious just for a second. Check this place out you’ll love it\nNuff Said! – Get Fucked I’m Frosty."

I saw every aspect of you that came along you as a person - the breezy laughter that I heard; the ambiguous answer that was uttered; the conscious attempt of ignoring of being spoken to, but still acknowledge it in your mind; the sudden flight of distant thought of what’s going on with your life; the amicable gesture of seeing me as someone; the cuddly embrace of your geeky smiles to something I mutter off; the call of a friendship when you needed someone to just listen to your mind; explosion of your desires yet to be achieved; sudden burst of excitement with small thrills of your life; depth of a conversation with minds disclosure on serious notes; a silent cry of a heel breaking off while you swayed to your dance classes; innocence of sharing your most personal thoughts; the juggle and balance of your timely insane surroundings; the patience off living through my stupidity; the part of caring if I ate something that day; those times of shouting at why am I not to be heard off; so on and on and on…\nSomewhere in this interaction, I started expressing with the first attempt to speak out. Fumbling with my attempt, it was an explosion which was not gauged. With my own fears of being understood, I still ventured into unknown horizon. It felt true to me of telling you my feelings, yet though, still seen as black and white. To me it was a nurture to color it with your thoughts and response. As they say, it was a bazooka of opening up………… sheesh what an unforeseen portrayal. In the right stride, I assumed its ok, as it was me telling you in my own ways of what I see things as.\nIt seems, every thing has a response and that is something which I dint see it quite clear. A touch of a pendulum, swings to the other side and comes to you; a boomerang always comes back to your jumpy hand; a stretched band always recoils to its inception; but all these were just left as attributes which felt only logical and not in action when there was no response to my explosion of views. Something was missing.\nWith the quite small brains, not sure it did work properly as the melody was ruling my heart, I was trying to decipher, but to no avail. So I was left thinking aloud what was it, that was missing. As I understood, I am not the creator of these feelings and thus I can’t understand the reaction to it as much, I left it aside with a pinch of salt.\nBut you know, such things don’t leave you so soon, it’s a like a ghost of a loving partner who wants to cling onto you forever even if you try to move on. So the thoughts embraced my world of mind’s normalcy analyzing what was missing. I would end up having another conversation with you if I speak more of it. So let’s leave at that.\nSomewhere on the path, I flinched. I kept to myself of what to tell you, of what to express, of what to let out and I became more conscious, forcefully. I suppose, this is just a nature of survival, as it seemed.\nSomewhere it seemed, you just wanted to see me here but not take me home. I recoiled to my state of mind, which was streaming faster than light. Let it be the way it is, I said to myself; let it be as it wasn’t meant to be.\nProcess thus evolved, I convinced myself, its ok not to get what you see, it is more important that you told what was meant to be told – rest was left to the recipient and to destiny.\nAnd that’s when I started becoming invisible, dissolving slowly into the chaotic calms of a whirlpool. Accepting the part that whatever happens, happens for good.\nYou will never realize this process of dissolution until one day you acknowledge it. But then that day when you come along, I will still be myself as all I have to offer is that pure expression of speaking my mind out and expressing it with my nibbles. That’s me, I told myself, that’s just me – but then can I be my real self, well time will tell and I hope it remains the same.\nIt looked like, you dint need to adopt another feeling in your phase of life, just that that feeling was relayed from my end with blissful innocence. Time will tell, when it wisheth to be spoken. Until then this ambiguity of white noise will prevail.\nWhite Noise – an absolute tranquility in commotion – for now its all white painted with noise all around, but then as they say, it’s just a notion of being alive.\nI will see you, I know; I will hear you, I know; I will respond to you, I know; I will react to you, I know; I will acknowledge you, I know; but will you ever see the white noise, that, that something is which I don’t know. But it’s ok. It’s all ok as it is not meant to be heard off.\nTomorrow is a new day, and it will bring forth a new perspective. Until then, it is me, you and this white noise who will play the opera of singing out in high notes. Let’s just enjoy this moment as it is made available. For you never know, what comes tomorrow along with.\nIt seems as the wise old man says “the flower bud can only bloom with enough warmth from sunrays, the minute there’s cloud of uncertainty looming over in the sky, the flower bud just embraces an early death without showing its true nature of being appreciated and so it seems are the expressions and feelings… unless they have been acknowledged and spoken off, they never take off the road to fly high”\nAnd so he says “Lets talk man to man” to her.\nShe will not even realize Molly, the Indian country pup could speak so much as she visited him everytime in the adoption centre. For her, it was a cute, charming pup who was seen as he was. But for him, he was willingly wishful that she takes him home to a dreamland where he would love her everytime, everywhere. He would follow her like a song in the desert, but never would leave her in her vain. He would eagerly wait for her footsteps as she would enter the gate. He would nibble around her minds thoughts as she would enter the door. He would make her at ease as she sat down by the recliner, just with the touch, just with the embrace and just with his woof woof…. She will never know, woof meant more than woof. Alas, if only one could understand what a pup had to say, it’s the best friend one could ever have.\n“Love is not necessarily to be seen, but it’s with such small gestures that one realizes, wish they could see it in real. But the beauty of love, is always felt, just that the heart and eyes have to open for it”\nSunday, March 17, 2013\nTalk of the influence from the TV, my niece and nephew precisely knew of what they had to do. First they came with a plate with imaginative flowers and aarathi, performed a ritual where I had to bow down and let them apply the vermilion. This followed by setting my hair straight, yeah my niece was particular of the fact that my hair had to look decent. Wiped my face off the anxiety and then I was asked to follow what they had in their mind.\nI was handed over the garland and my supposedly life partner was sent to exchange the garlands as a custom. To my surprise this dint stop at 1 life partner as I was made to do the same for 2 more lovely ladies. Call it a shock of my life, when I dint have a clue of handling 1 partner how on earth will I manage 3 altogether. However this seemingly dint bother my niece and nephew, not at all.\nOne of the ladies, wore a significantly bright saree and dressed up to kill any homebound heartful romantic, however to add a tinge to her dressing sense – she wore a pair of boots which was amusing. The other came across bit more fashionable for a wedding, sporting a party goer attire with dazzling shiny halter top and to match it along a denim skirt barely above her knees. She had a sheepish smile on her face and her hair was colored golden brown. I wanted to see my moms face to this look, missed it definitely as I was concentrating on the ladies. The last one, brunette with long tresses was bold enough to come along with an enviable red cocktail dress, the neckline so deep down that the audience would dive to take a peek into. Her stilettos made me wonder how did she even manage to walk without spraining her legs. Hmmm, should I be jealous or play along with the flirtatious view.\nFinally I had to agree to what was happening and the garlands were exchanged. The ladies, or so to my call my life partners were made to sit on my lap for the final ceremony – kanyadhaan. I swear on my active senses, I heard my heart do a thump dance to the tunes of Mcdonalds – I’m loving it!!!\nAt the end of the entire melodrama, I was declared married to 3 most beautiful women I had seen. With no time gap, I was immediately escorted by my niece to a room and was cautioned – I will lock the room from outside!!!\nTo my amusement, I sat along with the ladies or should I say my life partners in a locked room wondering what was the next thing I am supposed to play along with. Without a hint of any guilt, the ladies blindly looked at me and just retained their gorgeous smile. Call it a boon, they dint utter a word and that made things easier in such an embarrassing caught up situation. I thanked almighty for making a person invent Barbie dolls to amuse the little girls that I was relaxing to a large extent and dint have to take this drama any longer.\nYes I was married off to 3 Barbie dolls whom my niece and nephew almost thought were real. A victim of the kids boredom, I was happily married away to cater to their mischievous afternoon.\nWednesday, January 02, 2013\nPlatitude as it may sound, one intends to believe thus achieved, the contribution is done, it’s expressed, it’s uttered and our part is over.\nThink of it, we live in a society, wherein a sister, friend, mother, relative, girlfriend, neighbor, et all who is a girl is cornered at every step. Be it sacrifices, humiliation, fear, abusiveness, rejection, the steps can be widened in undermining the gender.\nLet’s look at this part of the world, the gender world. I am ashamed with every depth of me being a man, that a sense of such insane act can be clad upon our own species and that too on the gender that we deem to be the supreme in our society. Woman is what we have been told to respect for, from our yester years, learning’s that we inculcate from our mother, sisters, teachers and to a social upbringing that makes us respect them. So what goes wrong when we reach the maturity and decide it is fine to be abusive on the ones we should respect.\nOnly psychology will have an answer to it but not humanity, as it is inhumane, for us to accept it to be fine and to deal with such absurdity.\nWhat happened to our world, where we are taught to live free, express freely, admire the existence, appreciate our gifts and the respect we learnt in our childhood days.\nGone in the wind, when we encounter with such a trauma as recent as, an awakening to the animosity. We named her Nirbhaya, did she ask for it, did she feel happy about being called so, did she want to refuse the name thus given, did she …… the questions can never be known from her, as she demised with losing her essentials – hope, dreams, desires, future, family, known, unknowns and whatever was coming her way for good. She was forced to lose it, abused to lose it, victimized to lose it; at the end of it she lost it, her life, her soul, her existence, thrown to a tattered birth. Who is to be blamed? She could never express after what was incurred to her.\nTo think of it, what was her mistake? To be born as a girl who could be a need for some absurd fantasy of a flipped mind. To be the easy availability to a soulless entity who just knew to achieve riddance of his sexual drives. So was she casted as a material, a thing, a nonliving; who would not feel the pain of their prowess, the insult of being respected for, a subject of ones need, just a entertainment of their evening drive, or just a girl to be taken granted for accepting anything thrust upon???\nThose accused, admitted to their cruelty openly without a shine of remorse, without a feel of guilt, without a show of feeling inhumane; they narrated what proudly they subjected her to a tease. It was an act of pleasure as they saw, how much ever insane it might sound, it felt right for them to abuse her, subjugate her, subject her to the utmost vivacious act of compulsion someone can ever think of and at the end of it kill her soul!!!!\nWe mourned, we protested, we admitted to the seriousness of what is happening, but at the same time, we see many more of incidents which repeated the demonic act. How many instances have been reported thus since and how many have not, how many innocents have been abused, how many souls have been broken ever since, that we see it as common in our life that the society is not fit to live in.\nIs it the society to be really blamed for, it is supposed to be the upbringing of ourselves that culminates into a mass of livings, which forms the so called society. So somewhere there birthed a negative essence which is showing its horns into our very own surroundings. Who is to be blamed for, there can’t be any force to be named precisely. But it exists in real, in flesh and blood that is showing the rush towards innocence just to please their insatiable feelings.\nI am ashamed to be called a man, when one of my genders is engulfed in believing they need to act to their needs. For I have to shun my face to their mistakes, cover my face when a woman casts her eyes with such ferocity of what is happening to her gender. For her, I am not me, but I am just a man, void of any other aspect, I am just a man who treated them inappropriately as they know of. Subjected them to every utter of disrespect, every possible way of abuse, every chance of feeling them, every instance of using them, I am just a man as seen by them, who they started to hate, fear, be disgusted off.\nI regret the feeling of what is happened and is still happening, I regret of being called a man when the other gender looks at me as the one who was responsible for the mistreat. I regret being called a man when I can sleep over the fact that the same can happen to the ones I know of, related to, care about, respect for, admire with every possible sense. I regret what happened to you being a woman, from centuries of trauma you had to face, for I know the value of what you are.\nWhat we need is a respect of what we are for, to take care of you, to respect you, to protect you, to give an assurance that we are there to thwart any disrespect that may be casted on you. We need to have an awakening of what we become off, relearn the cause of what we need to be from our mother, the one who was responsible to tender us, let us grow, make us what we are to respect others and the most of all respect womanhood. We need to have an awakening which strives in our culture, our sanctity of being a human, our morale of being right and our resolution of doing right.\nWe need a reformed mindset, where when we sleep, we do acknowledge that we did nothing wrong in all our conscience. We were not wrong to others, we did nothing wrong to anyone. Most of all, we need to live being a human who is the matured of all.\nCan there be a society where we can live like humans? As the wise old man speaks, it’s all in us, each individual’s, who can assess what is right and what is wrong with full consciousness. Can there be one, question which can never be answered but only desired to be right."

Salt Lake City and Austin will be the first two cities to support the platform and according to Johnson, there are hundreds of merchants in those cities ready to go.\nWe are now being told that Isis will have further information regarding their progress sometime in October. Johnson said there wasn’t one particular problem that delayed the launch but instead, they are simply working through a handful of small issues to ensure the best possible customer experience. The executive likened it to checking items off a punch list.\nIsis has signed agreements with American Express, Chase, Capitol One and Barclaycard to conduct point-of-sale transactions at a number of different merchants. HTC, LG, Motorola, Research in Motion, Samsung and Sony have all confirmed they will be releasing products to support the platform.\nJohnson didn’t specify if Isis would be ready for launch in October or not. Furthermore, it’s unclear how quickly the platform plans to expand past the two launch cities. With any luck we’ll know the answers to these questions next month."

Don’t be ashamed of being an asshole; own the title. Wear it with pride, and derive sheer delight from it.\n2. Be feared, not liked – People think nothing of letting down someone they like, but no sane person will let down someone they fear. At all times, be looking for ways in which you can let those around you know that you could ruin them if you chose.\n3. Slander – In this fast-paced world, no one has time to fact-check. Do not hesitate to destroy someone’s reputation through exaggeration and lies. The most effective attack is to accuse someone of unethical behavior you are guilty of yourself, as this provides pre-emptive cover from accusations against you (people trust the one who accuses first).\n4. Think Win-Lose – It is not enough for you to simply win; others must also lose. Part of the fun of stepping on people to get to the top is that not only are you climbing higher, you are holding others down. Look for ways to pit worthy adversaries against each other, never share credit for a success, and blame others for any failure you encounter.\n5. Humiliate – Once someone is down, make sure you break their spirit. If they decide to give up entirely, that’s one less opponent you’ll ever have to face, and if they kill themselves, your morning commute will be that much shorter with one less on the road.\n6. Snub – If you don’t like someone, and they refuse to stay defeated, ignore their very existence. Don’t talk to them, don’t make eye contact with them, and whatever you do, never tell them what you’re doing or why.\n7. Grind your axe – Never forget those who stood in your way. A list is often helpful here. Once you’re on top, waste no time in crushing those who tried to stop you. Do not show them the mercy of hesitation."

"original": "Egypt and regional allies have no choice but to defeat the death squads in Libya\nSons of Malcolm\nMon 16 Feb 2015\nOne of the death squads which is facilitating nato interests across the Muslim world - 'Isis' - has committed another supremacist crime in the murder of 21 Egyptian Copts who were in Libya as labourers. This was done in the Libyan city of Sirte, which saw a brutal bombing by the bigger and biggest supremacist force in the world - nato during its 7 month blitz of Libya in 2011. Sirte was a beautiful city which was the permanent headquarters of the African Union, so the nato destruction of the city and this current Isis crime there is the continuation of the destruction of Libya as a shiefl, defender and unifier of Africa.\nThere are many who supported nato's Arab Sting in Libya (and Syria) that are no wringing their hands to try the impossible to excuse themselves from their role in opening the doors directly to the death squads under the Arab Spring cover. I myself in hindsight was foolish enough to support the Arab Sting in Tunisia and Egypt, however as soon as nato got openly involved in Libya and Syria in the early part of 2011, the proverbial scales fell of from one's eyes and what was due was a total reworking of the analysis of what these uprisings were actually intended to achieve by the support and leadership given to them by the Gulf Monarchist (especially Qatar), western states and mainstream media and sectarian and politically neo-colonial liberal forces of the alliance between death squads, the Ikhwan and George Soros-type funded tomfoolery.\nThe rise of Abdel Fatteh Sisi into the leadership of Egypt signalled the popular historic push back against the Arab Sting, and it was a necessity to the very existence of Egypt that the death squads 'good cop' to their 'bad cop' in the form of the pro-nato Muslim Brotherhood was neutralised, and that has been largely achieved in Egypt: the Muslim Brotherhood's service to nato and the mass rejection of them by the Egyptian people has meant that for the forseeable future they are totally finished, and now can only but lash out and join in terrorism and give excuses and cover for it.\nPart of this historic push back against the nato counter revolution which is the Arab Sting is Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and a few others containing the death squad fall out from a major launch pad and operating base which Libya has become. The limited air strikes by Egypt against the death squads in Libya is a sad and tragic development, but is a partial and inadequate response to a strategy of containment that the region desperately sees lest the fall out continues to ravage the region in a neo-colonial designed divide and ruin and traumatising fall out which is impacting the whole North African, Sahel and Sub Saharan regions.\nEgypt will not be able to contain or defeat Isis and other death squads by air strikes, what is needed is a relatively massive coordinated campaign by the anti death squad forces which might and does include alliances with General Haftar who is in the coalition against the Misrata and allied death squads, the most sectarian and depraved of them all in Libya, along with those Libyan forces in the camp of those who built a relatively (and compared to today an incomparably wonderful country!) functional Libya in the form of the Jamahirya and other more honest Libyan forces which seek to unite and stabilise the country. This coordinated effort must mean serious military assistance in Libya, which must include serious special forces support to the allied forces in Libya and even Egyptian and other 'boots on the ground' in some considerable numbers.\nOf course, Egypt has a recent history of giving direct troops to those fighting the nato agenda in the region, most notably Egypt's support to the revolutionaries in Yemen against a similar coalition of nato and Gulfie forces in the late 1960s. Ideally, Iran would join in this Egyptian and allied effort in Libya, however, Iran are still at least in public keeping up media and political hostilities as they are not over the fact that Morsi and the Ikhwan are historically finished, and anyway, Iran have major headaches at the very least in Iraq and Syria to deal with. However, considering Ayotollah Khamenei recently opened denounced the death squads in Libya (the closest thus far Iran has come to distancing itself from the very forces it is now criticising that it supported in 2011), it is in the direct interests of Iran and Syria to defeat the menace in Libya and elsewhere. Indeed, one is reminded of Muammar Gaddafi's comments in the summer of 2011 that his resistance against nato and their death squads is a direct defence of Syria and Iran. It seems that Iran, however excruciatingly slowly, are coming to realise the validity of Gaddafi's work, struggle and sacrifice.\nWhatever will transpire in the region in relation to the death squads, it is clear that Libya has since the destruction of the country in through 2011 has become a major asset to the leading nato countries, it is serving way too much of an advantage in being the launch pad for the british, yanks and french and their Guld allies in laying to waste whole regions which could otherwise see stability and prosperity as they increasingly ally with China and Russia in a win-win partnership. Egypt and the countries, government and peoples of the whole region will be and are facing the full might and slyness or nato, and to defeat such a force Egypt needs a tight unity with all leading Global South forces regionally and globally. In this sense, the recent development of strategic unity between Egypt and Russia is of major importance.\nEgypt retaliates with air strikes after ISIS marches 21 Coptic Christians along a lonely Libyan beach and beheads them en masse for their faith\n* Egyptian warplanes struck at least Islamic State targets near the Islamist-held city of Derna in eastern Libya today\n* Strikes come after ISIS-affiliated militants beheaded 21 Egyptians Coptic Christians in a sickening filmed massacre\n* Men were paraded by their masked killers before being savagely beheaded on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea\n* The Egyptian government last night vowed to 'avenge the bloodshed and to seek retribution from the killers'\nPope Francis expressed 'profound sadness' over the slayings, saying the victims were 'murdered for their faith'\nEgypt launched airstrikes on Islamic State targets in Libya this morning as it 'seeks retribution' for the barbaric filmed beheading of 21 Coptic Christians.\nThere were at least seven strikes in Derna in the east of the country, which has become a hotbed of Islamic extremism since Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011.\nIt is the first time Egypt has announced military action against Islamist targets in its western neighbour, having previously denied it targeted militants there, and the first time militants connected with the Islamic State terror group have been hit with airstrikes outside Syria and Iraq.\nThe strikes are in response to a gruesome video, released last night, showing a group of orange jumpsuit-clad Coptic Christians being marched to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea by masked, knife-wielding militants.\nThe 21 men, who were Egyptian migrant workers kidnapped last month, are then seen being forced onto their knees before they are beheaded simultaneously by the militants standing behind them.\nA statement released by the Egyptian military this morning said: 'Your armed forces on Monday carried out focused air strikes in Libya against Daesh camps, places of gathering and training, and weapons depots'.\nDaesh is a a derogatory Arabic acronym for the Islamic State terror group, commonly referred to as ISIS or ISIL in the West.\nEgyptian state television followed up the military statement by showing footage of warplanes it said were taking off to conduct the strikes.\n'Avenging Egyptian blood and retaliating against criminals and killers is a duty we must carry out,' the military said.\nThe air strikes came hours after President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi threatened a 'suitable response' to the killings of the Christians who had travelled to Libya seeking work.\nSisi, a former army chief who overthrew the Islamist president and then won elections touting his firm hand, faced a chorus of demands to retaliate after the beheadings.\nLibya's air force meanwhile announced it had launched strikes in the eastern city of Darna, which was taken over by an IS affiliate last year.\nEgyptian television has repeatedly played the sickening five-minute video since its release, albeit without the beheadings actually being shown.\nThe footage shows black-clad militants leading their captives in orange jumpsuits along a beach before forcing them to kneel\nBefore the killings, one of the militants stood with a knife in his hand and said: 'Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for.'\nA caption on the five-minute video reads: 'The people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian Church.'\nImages taken from the video of waves breaking on the beach turning red from the blood of the victims spread among Egyptians on social media, enraging many.\nThe White House led condemnation of the apparent beheadings, describing the killers as 'despicable' and adding that the brutality shown 'further galvanises the international community to unite against ISIL,' an alternative acronym for the group.\nPope Francis also expressed 'profound sadness' over the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians by Islamic militants in Libya, saying they had been killed for their faith.\n'They were executed for nothing more than the fact that they were Christians,' Francis said in unscheduled remarks in his native Spanish following a meeting with John Chalmers, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.\n'The blood of our Christian sisters and brothers is testimony that cries out (to us),' the pontiff added.\n'Be they Catholics, Orthodox, Copts, Lutherans, it does not matter. They are Christians, their blood is the same, their blood confesses (their faith in) Christ.'\nFrench President Francois Hollande, whose government is poised to sign a deal selling Egypt advanced Rafale fighter jets on Monday, expressed his 'concern at the expansion of Daesh in Libya,' using another name for ISIS.\nLibya's embattled parliament, which is locked in a conflict with Islamists, expressed condolences in a statement and called on the world to 'show solidarity with Libya' against militants.\nIS militants have been hammered by US-led air strikes in Iraq and Syria after taking over swathes of the two countries and the group has active affiliates in Egypt and Libya.\nIn recent months Libya has seen the worst unrest since the 2011 uprising that toppled and killed longtime dictator Muammar Gaddafi, which will complicate any efforts to combat the country's many Islamic extremist groups.\nThe internationally recognized government has been confined to the country's far east since Islamist-allied militias seized the capital Tripoli last year, and Islamist politicians have reconstituted a previous government and parliament.\nEgypt has strongly backed the internationally recognized government, and U.S. officials have said both Egypt and the United Arab Emirates took part in a series of mysterious airstrikes targeting Islamist-allied forces last year.\nThe Egyptian government declared a seven-day mourning period after the release of the video and President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi addressed the nation late Sunday night.\n'These cowardly actions will not undermine our determination' said el-Sissi, who also banned all travel to Libya by Egyptian citizens.\n'Egypt and the whole world are in a fierce battle with extremist groups carrying extremist ideology and SHARING the same goals,' he added.\nThe Coptic Church issued a statement saying it was 'confident' the Christians' killers would be brought to justice, as it confirmed those beheaded were Egyptian Copts.\nAl-Azhar, the prestigious Cairo-based seat of Islamic learning, denounced the killings as 'barbaric'.\nThe video, entitled 'A message signed with blood to the nation of the cross', has a scrolling caption in the first few seconds referring to the hostages as 'people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian Church'.\nThe makers of the video identify themselves as the Tripoli Province of the Islamic State group and had claimed in January to have abducted 21 Christians.\nThe video makes reference to Egyptian woman Camilia Shehata, the wife of a Coptic priest whose alleged conversion to Islam sparked a sectarian dispute in Egypt in 2010.\nIt says the beheadings were revenge for the treatment of Shehata, who they claim was held against her will by the Church post-conversion.\nThe latest ISIS video comes after the jihadis released footage earlier this month showing the gruesome burning alive of Jordanian pilot Moath al-Kasasbeh, who the group captured after his F-16 came down in Syria in December.\nMilitants in Libya had been holding the 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians hostage for weeks, all laborers rounded up from the city of Sirte in December and January.\nThe makers of the video identify themselves as the Tripoli Province of the Islamic State group.\nTens of thousands of Egyptians work in Libya, mainly in the construction sector, and they have been targeted as the country has descended into chaos.\nThe killings raise the possibility that the Islamic militant group - which controls about a third of Syria and Iraq in a self-declared caliphate - has established a direct affiliate less than 500 miles from the southern tip of Italy.\nOne of the militants in the video, speaking English, makes direct reference to that possibility, saying the group now plans to 'conquer Rome.'\nYesterday, images emerged of ISIS militants publicly executing two alleged spies and mercilessly crucifying another to a road sign in the Syrian city of Al-Bab.\nOn Thursday, the extremist group announced it was holding an Israeli-Arab who posed as foreign a fighter to spy for the country's intelligence agency, Mossad."

"original": "Rachel Ramirez clanged her cage and crouched low, stick in hand and ready to pounce.\nTime and time again Wednesday, the Lindenhurst goalie was an assailed target, but to the casual observer, she was the predator. Ramirez made 13 saves -- seven from that coiled position she uses on free-position attempts -- as the Bulldogs turned aside Floyd, 9-6, to remain undefeated in League I lacrosse.\n\"I bang the cage for positioning, to know that I'm in between the posts,'' Ramirez said. \"And I crouch down because I'm very tall [about 5-10], and it allows me to get the low ones and pop up to get the high ones.''\nLindenhurst (4-0) took a 3-1 halftime lead on back-to-back opening goals by Trisha Serras and a Rachel Gumowski tally on a feed from Rebecca Conway with 38 seconds left. Although Floyd (1-3) drew to within two on Courtney Murphy's goal with 22:47 to play, Ramirez made two big saves in the next four minutes -- one off her leg on a free-position attempt and a point-blank stop on a shot a few feet in front of her -- to preserve the lead.\n\"Rachel always comes up big for us,'' coach Paul DiGiulio said. \"She makes a lot of critical saves. She really did a good job for us with the free-position shots today, and I think that made a big difference.''\nCooper Sesselman's bending, overhand blast sneaked into the right corner for a 5-2 Lindenhurst advantage with 17:51 left. She scored again four minutes later and led the Bulldogs with three goals and one assist.\n\"We were definitely all working together on transition,'' Sesselman said. \"We were really preparing ourselves for this game. We knew we had to win it and we definitely pumped each other up.''\nThe preparation had a lot to do with Murphy, Floyd's do-it-all midfielder and leading goal-scorer. The Stony Brook commit earned faceguard honors, drawing strong defense from Ashley Claud, but still put in three goals. More than anything, \"we were trying to keep the ball out of her stick,'' Ramirez said.\nThe eager defense let to plenty of penalties, and plenty of chances for Ramirez to shine: bouncers, blasts and a falling stop and a scrambling reach on a ball behind her (that last one caused even the sideline to erupt in incredulous laughter).\n\"She's all over,'' Sesselman said. \"You can really count on her. She's really amazing.''"

"original": "At that time – as it is today – there were many different specialties in the practice of medicine talking about how effectively chronic muscle and joint pain can be managed. But no one talked about how chronic muscle and joint pain could be eliminated.\nAt that time it was believed – as it is by many today – that chronic muscle and joint pain is such a complex a problem that it’s impossible to eliminate it; hence the preoccupation with pain management.\nMy biggest hurdle has been getting the medical profession to understand that because of my discovery of the common cause of chronic pain and the therapy I developed that effectively treats it, pain elimination is a reality.\nWhy Is The Medical Community So Resistant To Pain Elimination?\nObviously change does not come about quickly, especially in the medical community. That being said – for reasons beyond my understanding – the more I talk about, the more I publish, the more I present statistical data proving how effective Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy is in eliminating chronic muscle and joint pain, the more resistance I encounter in the medical arena.\nMy work is so effective in eliminating chronic pain and I am so confident in the validity of my research and work, that many times over many years, I’ve asked research teams to run clinical studies that would conclusively prove or disprove my work. But instead of taking me up on my offer, all I receive are comments stating that what I claim is impossible.\nHow does one make sense out of this?\nWhen a solution is offered which resolves one of the most horrific pandemic problems today – chronic muscle and joint pain – one would think that a proposed intervention, which truly works, would garnish a great deal of interest. At least as much interest as when a new drug is engineered to chemically control chronic pain.\nThe only answer I can come up with revolves around economics.\nWhen it comes to doing medical research or studies on any type of medical intervention, the US government and medical community provide very little funding and the private sector offers little to nothing.\nNowadays, most medical studies are done by Big Pharma. Possibly it’s just not viable for them to provide the funds necessary to investigate a holistic, noninvasive intervention that eliminates chronic pain and does not revolve around the billion dollar-a-year practice of dispensing of patented pain drugs. Certainly this is a sad commentary and one I hope is not true.\nHow can you, the chronic pain sufferer, help change the medical community’s resistance to pain elimination? A good place to start is by demanding that your doctor(s) take a look at the research done and the publications on the Rothbarts Foot and PreClinical Clubfoot Deformity and on Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy – the only therapy that permanently eliminates chronic pain.\nAnother thing you can do is share this post on Twitter and Facebook, spreading the good news that people don’t have to suffer a lifetime filled with chronic pain. It can be eliminated!\nReading the Curing Chronic Pain website will give you more information about the abnormal foot structures Professor/Dr. Rothbart discovered that cause many forms of chronic muscle and joint pain and help you determine whether an Initial Phone Consultation with him might be helpful.\nFor a more complete explanation of the Rothbarts Foot and PreClinical Clubfoot Deformity, read: Abnormal Foot Structures That Cause Chronic Pain.\nAs you learn more about Professor/Dr. Rothbart’s innovative therapy, you may find that addressing and effectively treating your foot structure may be the missing link to ending your long time battle with unrelenting muscle and joint pain.\nIf you have questions about what’s involved in being treated with Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy by long distance, see our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) Page by clicking here.\nIf you would like to contact Professor/Dr. Rothbart regarding an appointment to resolve your chronic muscle and joint pain, click here.\nProfessor/Dr. Brian A. Rothbart\nChronic Pain Elimination Specialist\nDiscovered the Rothbarts Foot and PreClinical Clubfoot Deformity\nDeveloper of Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy\nInventor and Designer of Rothbart Proprioceptive Insoles\nFounder of the International Academy of Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy\nFree Excerpt from Professor/Dr. Rothbart’s second book, The Foot’s Connection To Chronic Pain"

"original": "A unique use of RELINE®\nThis was a 30+ year old car wash located in Leesville, Louisiana made of brick and CMU which had the brick exterior falling apart.\nThe owner/operator had the bricks removed and then attached RELINE® to the CMU, covering the complete exterior of the building with RELINE®. At the same time he installed RELINE® on the interior walls of the tunnel.\nVinyl decals were then purchased from a local sign company and attached to the exterior RELINE® panels, giving the building color and identification. This project was completed in late 2012.\nThe building now has much greater eye appeal resulting in overall traffic and total car washes at the facility to drastically improve."

Our focus is on Los Angeles, a city with more people of Mexican descencent than any other in the world except Mexico City.\nThe Institute is truly a binational organization with distinguished individuals on its Board of Directors from both Mexico and the United States, from the private sector and from government. The Institute is a duly chartered California non-profit corporation with federal tax-exempt status. In addition to several prominent Mexican-Americans, the board includes the Consul General of Mexico in Los Angeles, a representative from the Mexican Foreign Ministry and the Governors of several Mexican States which have large numbers of former residents now living in California.\nThe goals of our Mission are accomplished through ongoing social and cultural exchanges and through showcasing artists from Mexico and the United States whose work crosses the cultural divide between them or whose talents and achievements exemplify and honor Mexican or Mexican-American cultural traditions. Another principal path toward better North-South understanding is through programs of educational exchange, many of which have already been successfully implemented by the Institute. In addition, the Institute supports a program of sports and community activities in the Los Angeles area.\nWe wish to be a catalyst for building bridges between ethnic groups in our part of the country and those people from Mexico who have a direct and special interest in what is happening in Southern California. Finally, we are especially interested in strenghthening the bonds between U.S. born Mexican-Americans and immigrants from Mexico, and beyond that, promoting greater understanding and communication between them and the rest of the population of Southern California.\nCalendario de Actividades\nEsta pagina ha sido posible por angelfire\nSign our Guestbook...

"original": "Read up on to glean some new organic ideas in the following article.\nYour children can help you with your organic gardening endeavors. A garden can be a great learning experience for your children, and will give you an opportunity to bond with them while you produce healthy food.\nPlant strawberries for your children in the organic garden.Children will be more willing to eat other foods you’ve planted as well.\nThe ambient temperate of a room with live plants should be kept between 65-75 degrees throughout the daylight hours. The temperature in order to effectively grow. If you think it would not be comfortable to keep your residence that warm in the winter, you could always get the organic plants a heat lamp.\nKeep your gardening tools handy to work more efficiently.\nMake sure you work in your garden.Don’t waste your time looking all over for missing tools. Prepare all the tools you need before you go out to work on your garden, and then put them away neatly when finished.Get a tool belt if you need to, or wear pants with many pockets.\nTry not to let the chores associated to your garden at least a short time each day. Even if you are too busy to tend to your gardens needs every day, you can do little things to help so that there is not a huge amount of work to be done when you are ready to get back to it. If you are outside with your dog, try to remove weeds when your pet is doing his business.\nUse an aged laundry basket when you want to collect your vegetables and fruits. The basket will make a colander for your produce.\nWhen maintaining your organic garden, try ruffling seedlings using your hands or cardboard one or two times daily. While it seems a little odd, research has shown that this method can increase the size of your plants.\nFill the jar up with beer within one inch of the top. Slugs will be attracted to the beer and won’t be able to exit the jar.\nYou may be able to skip watering for an entire day if rain is on the way.\nGardening is a good way to connect with nature, but organic gardening is especially good at this.\nBy changing up varieties and locations, you will be able to ward off disease and fungus naturally.\nThe garlic is ready to be picked when the green tops start drying out and turning brown.\nWhen you are buying seedlings for tomatoes, keep an eye on lush green starts with root systems that are bad. The reason is because these particular starts will stay on the seedlings for weeks, crippling their growth until the starts are gone.\nResearch the local botanical insecticides which can help keep any pest population down. Natural insecticides are often more powerful than synthetic pesticides. However, botanical insecticides may not last as long because of their biological makeups, they often decay and disappear quickly.\nYou can simply make a new garden for perennials in just a few steps. Simply use a spade to cut underneath your turf, flip it over and cover with wood chips. Wait a few weeks and then plant your perennials in the brand new bed.\nYou must be sure to mulch to your garden and flowerbed with about three inches of organic material. This affects your garden in a variety of ways, including enriching the soil, inhibiting the growth of unsightly weeds, and improving the overall appearance of the garden.\nTry planting your organic garden a shade garden. You will be happy to learn that gardens of this type are very low maintenance. They don’t require as much watering, which makes them less labor-intensive. They grow slowly too, but you have less weeds to get rid of.\nWhen getting ready to plant a tree or a shrub in your organic garden, make the hole super ugly-looking. If the sides of the hole show glaze which was caused by the shovel, the roots will not be able to penetrate the soil properly.\nThe more you know about organic gardening, the easier your gardening will be. Keep in mind that the tips you have read are just the beginning point."

"original": "New York, NY\nIn the fall of 2014, I was living my dream. I had just finished my freshman year at NYU, where I studying musical theater. I was living in the East Village, experiencing everything that New York has to offer. Even though I was a long way from my family in Miami, I absolutely loved it. However, I soon started to feel lethargic, coupled with a lymph node that was popping out of my neck and getting bigger. Something just wasn’t right. I was downing 9 Advil a day and started seeing doctors to try and figure out what was going on.\nAfter tons of tests and scans, and a call to my protective Latina mother in Miami to come to New York right away, I was diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin’s lymphoma. You’d never say that getting cancer is lucky, but Hodgkin’s lymphoma is an incredibly curable form of the disease. That didn’t make me feel any better at the time, but I now know how much my life depended on the research and treatments that LLS has been funding for all these years.\nI took a leave from NYU and returned home to Florida to start chemo. Four rounds of three week cycles. I was treated in the pediatric system, and the most striking thing was seeing all the little children hooked up to IVs, fighting worse diseases than I was. It just wasn’t fair. I was responding well to my treatments was surrounded by love – my sister, my parents, my grandparents and all my friends. I was lucky to have the level of support that so many others do not.\nIn January of 2015, I achieved remission and soon became determined to find a way to fuse my love for the arts with my newfound passion for saving lives. Since being in remission, I’ve dedicated myself to helping raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by creating and producing fundraising events to help others win their fight. Once I got back to school, I created an event called “Raise Your Voice: A Cabaret for a Cure”, which featured Broadway and TV stars who performed alongside the future generation of musical theater, my classmates and myself, to raise funds for LLS.\nI was then lucky enough to host multiple Man & Woman of the Year Galas and the Light The Night events to tell my story and pay my good luck forward. Most recently, I raised over $11,000 through “Band Together: Lights Up On Broadway,” which was a virtual cabaret featuring a star-studded line up of award-winning actors and celebrities, including Matthew Morrison, Michael Cerveris, Moises Kaufman, Robin De Jesus, Greg Jbara, Griffin Matthews, Nick Adams, Max von Essen, Elizabeth Stanley and so many more. What can I say? Beating cancer is in my blood and I will not stop working until we rid the world of this terrible disease.\nNow I’m 25, living in New York and still chasing my dream. I’m in the survivorship program at Weil Cornell and I get routine blood tests once a year to make sure everything is okay. My experience with cancer, as terrible as it was, helped me grow as a person and as a performer. I am kinder and more optimistic about a world in which I now know my place and my mission. And that is to continue to help others who are not as lucky as I am…and continue to thank and support people like you who made my life possible.\nIt is because of the fearless team at LLS, the incredible volunteers, the generous donors, and the unparalleled teams of doctors and nurses that I was able to follow my dreams of being an actor on Broadway and television. I know that there are so many of you out there right now fighting your fears or your own cancer battles, and I want you to know that from then through now, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is STILL HERE for you. Cancer may not be cancelled or shut down, but neither is hope, and THAT is what we are here to celebrate. The hope that with your help, we will one day, and one day in our lifetimes, live in a world free from cancer."

"original": "About India INX\nBSE, Asia's oldest stock exchange and now world’s fastest exchange with the speed of 6 microseconds, it is also first to establish the country's first International Exchange at the international financial services centre (IFSC) GIFT city Gandhinagar.\nBSE signed an agreement with GIFT SEZ Limited in January 2015 to set up International Exchange and International Clearing Corporation at the GIFT IFSC. Built over an area of 880 acres, the Gujarat International Finance-Tec City is envisaged as an international hub for capital market trade.\nIndia International Exchange IFSC Limited (India INX) and India International Clearing Corporation IFSC Limited (India ICC) are wholly owned subsidiary of the BSE Limited. India INX and the India ICC have commenced mock trading from India INX's data centre at GIFT City from December 17, 2016.\nThe International exchange received final approval from Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on December 30, 2016. India INX is now India’s first International Exchange set up at GIFT City and was inaugurated by Honourable Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, on 9th Jan, 2017. India INX offer a diversified portfolio of products and technology services at a cost which is far more competitive to Indian exchanges as well as other global exchanges like those in Hong Kong Singapore, Dubai, London and New York.\nIndia INX is one of the world’s most advanced technology platforms with a turn-around time of 4 micro seconds. India INX operates for 22 hours a day to allow international investors and Non Residents Indians to trade from anywhere across the globe. In the first phase it proposes to commence trading in equity derivatives, currency derivatives, commodity derivatives including Index and Stocks. Subsequently, depository receipts and bonds would be offered once the required infrastructure for the same is in place. The technology offerings at India INX would facilitate co-location of members in its own Data Centre at GIFT IFSC as well as provide high frequency trading,\nIndia International exchange will compete with other international financial centres such as Hong Kong, Singapore Dubai, London and New York. Currently RBI’s Liberalised Remittance Scheme does not allow Indian Residents to trade in derivative products traded in exchanges other than domestic exchanges. So, effectively it will be corporate to hedge from India, which they are currently doing from outside India. It will also help Indian start-ups to raise equity from foreign investors by getting listed and provide companies incorporated outside India a platform to raise money in foreign currencies by issuance and listing of their shares on the international exchange. The stock brokers, who wish to service the rest of the world, would set up their offices and companies at Gift City. Foreign individuals, foreign trusts, foreign institutional investors all of them would be able to trade from India INX.\nGIFT City, which houses India INX, is part of India but not India. It is like one country, two systems. It matches Hong Kong that helped China to earn trillions of dollars through financial transactions. Most people used Hong Kong as gateway to China, similarly, GIFT City is now be seen as gateway to India.\nThe exchange being located in IFSC, GIFT City, provides competitive advantage in terms of tax structure and supportive regulatory framework. These include benefits in security transaction tax, commodity transaction tax, dividend distribution tax and long-term capital gain tax waivers and no income tax.\nIndia INX commenced trading activities on January 16, 2017.\n\"Emerge as the leading International Exchange with best-in-class global practice in technology, products innovation and customer service.\""

"original": "Maria T. Mejia\nTime to Show My Face and Take the Stigma Away\nMy Response to Someone Who Denies Undetectable = Untransmittable\nAugust 25, 2017\nThis was a response to a person I will not name because this is about all of us living with #hiv and our allies! I believe in respect above all and each individual has the human right to express himself! But, sometimes they hurt us and in many cases without that intention. I hope you understand the human side ... love and light.\nMi Respuesta a una Persona que Niega a Indetectable = Intransmisible\n25 de agosto de 2017\nTratare de explicar con mucha humildad y respeto la razón por la cual nos hace daño negar la verdad y apoyar a la ciencia que dice que indetectable = intransmisible!\nWe Demanded U Equals U! We Demanded the Truth and We Got It in IAS 2017\nJuly 27, 2017\nToday is a historic day! What was hidden from us came to the light today! It was hidden for almost 10 years. We pretty much joined together and put pressure. This was demanded by us and the whole world has to know. I have been undetectable for 18 years and living with this condition for 29 years. Why wasn't I considered responsible enough (18 years of adherence and undetectable) to be told the truth? I knew about the Swiss statement for 5 years and no one would confirm it here in the USA or other areas of the world! I had the right as a very adherent person to know the truth!!! To know and understand that I wasn't a risk to any of my partners for 18 years!!!! To suffer just with the thought that I could hurt the ones that I love was horrific and depressing. I feel happy today, but I also feel upset and just like the doctor that gave the Swiss statement, had all of these questions to the panel at the International AIDS Society in Paris.\nHealth Is a Human Right and I Am Not a Carrier!\nJuly 10, 2017\nHow can you preach that you are a Christian and at the same time say that health is a privilege? How can you really not see health as a human right? So, the poor who cannot pay for health care should just DIE???? Think about it!\nWhat One Day Can Do!\nJune 8, 2017\nUndetectable! All organs and blood panel are perfect! So yeah! It was temporary insanity and stress that I brought on myself and external situations that are eating them! The medicine works but it is up to me to control my stress and rage for so many problems we have in the U.S. government, in the world and real-life everyday problems!\nSoy Indetectable y no Puedo Transmitir el Virus del VIH\n21 de marzo de 2017\nQuiero que todos vean la falta de educación que hay en todas partes! Por eso es importante mostrar nuestras caras y salir de la oscuridad! Esta es una condición humana que es 100% prevenible y como he explicado en el video, si una persona que vive con el #VIH, toma sus medicamentos y se vuelve indetectable y permanece indetectable por más de 6 meses NO PODEMOS TRANSMITIR EL VIRUS DEL VIH!\nIf I Am Undetectable I Can't Transmit the HIV Virus\nMarch 21, 2017\nI want you all to see the lack of education that is out there! This is why it is important to show our faces and come out of the dark! This is a human condition that is 100 percent preventable and, as I explained in the video below, if a person living with HIV takes their medications and becomes undetectable and stays undetectable for more than 6 months, WE CAN'T TRANSMIT THE HIV VIRUS. Just because our activist circles and allies know about HIV does not mean that people know about this condition that has so much stigma! We need to be visible and we need to reach main stream media.\nEl #VIH y el #AMOR (Mi Historia de Amor y Divulgar)\n1 de agosto de 2016\nEl amor, qué hermoso es! Esto es tan importante para las personas que viven con el VIH / SIDA tener a alguien que te ame y puede ver más allá de la enfermedad, es decir si son VIH negativas ... Me siento bendecido de que después de todos estos años de ser positiva y pensando en el camino recorrido y lo que pensaba cuando me diagnosticaron (NUNCA ME LLEGARE A CASAR), he sido bendecida con un a esposa tan cariñosa y atenta conmigo ... el complemento perfecto. :) Ella es un elemento clave en mi salud, aunque no lo crean! Cuando a uno lo aman y cuidan ... el corazón y el alma se llena en el interior. Uno se siente feliz y se siente complementado, todas estas cosas hacen que nuestro sistema inmune se suba ... Y no sólo es el amor de pareja, esposa, esposo ... también proviene de el que sea amigo o amor que le demuestre a uno el amor y el cuidado con afecto un amigo, su familia ... incluso extraños ... la gente simplemente no saben lo importante que es amar y ser amado para nosotros. Mi pareja, Lisa, sería la primera en decir que ella era parte de la ignorancia, por supuesto, hasta que llegué yo.\n#HIV and #LOVE (My Story of Love and Disclosure)\nAugust 1, 2016\nLove, how beautiful it is! This is so important for people living with HIV/AIDS ... to have someone who loves you and can see you beyond the disease, that is, if they are HIV negative. I feel blessed that after all these years living with my diagnosis and thinking about the journey and what I thought when I was initially diagnosed (I'll NEVER GET MARRIED), I have been blessed with a wife so loving and attentive to me ... the perfect complement. :) She is a key element in my health, believe it or not! When one is loved and cared for ... The heart and soul are filled inside. You feel happy and feel complemented, all these things make our immune system rise ... And it's not just romantic love, wife, husband or spouse ... it also comes from a friend, loved one ... to be shown the love and caring affection from a friend, family ... even strangers ... people just do not know how important it is to love and be loved for us. My partner, Lisa, would be the first to say that she was part of the ignorance, of course, until I came along.\nFebruary 26, 2016\nWhere do I start? It is with much sorrow that I am writing this blog ... the memories of my friends that passed from AIDS complications haunt me all the time. It is very hard to express how I feel ... so I will do my best.\nThis article was provided by The Well Project.

Mejia\nI am a Colombian female who lives in Miami, Florida. I've been positive for 20 years. Although almost all my life I've been in long-term relationships with HIV-negative men, I am happily married to a woman who is wonderful and caring. We have been together almost three years and she is HIV negative. I have no children but we will look into having! I am an activist, a peer educator, a caregiver.

Do away with the door and you can walk in and out of your shower enclosures as you please, all without the hassle of fiddling with shower doors when you just want to have a wash. The look of a doorless walk in shower may be simple, but the aesthetic impact they have on a bathroom is striking. Plus, a lack of moving parts means they’re simple to keep clean too, ensuring that it always remains as good as new."

"original": "Sunday, February 17, 2008\nIronies Of Love\nThis Dairy Queen ice cream cake didn't stand a chance once it arrived home from the drive through! I had hoped to get back to my blog much sooner than this, but circumstances have prevailed concerning love stuff. At the present time we have a young lady sleeping on our couch that is going through her second divorce. In the midst of yesterday we sat down with a couple for an hour and a half to do the first of what will amount to several get-togethers prior to their wedding on April 26. This is the beginning of \"wedding fever\" season. For some reason it always begins right after Valentine's Day. There are folks who plan these things well ahead of the appointed time and then there are the ones who just get that inescapable urge and it must be satisfied. I suppose my take on this would have to lean very hard on the circumstances surrounding the union. If a couple has been together for a number of years and they share several children which they, as a couple, produced, it is a good thing to consider getting all of the last names in the house to match. I know that may sound a bit \"old fashioned\" in light of the era we live in, but it is true out here on the Great American Desert that kids have a much easier time in the public school system if they have a family unit that is dependable as the day is long. All too often we deal with the difficulties a single mom or dad have raising children those 12 years of education. Children and young adults can be extremely cruel. Anything that is \"different\" about folks we seem to have the propensity in our early years to point out with hurtful indifference. Perhaps there might be an explanation in there that could explain(not rationalize)the episodes of peer killings we have seen this past decade. Violence has become the means to an end that may have started with the earliest of experiences on playgrounds.\nOne of my eldest daughters(the \"twins\" is what we started out referring to them as)used to state unequivocally that she wanted most of all to be \"Different\", like everybody else. I thought it funny at the time because the kids were wearing colors that made me gag, not to mention mismatched socks were the \"in\" thing. There is a point in there. The values of my generation have been thrown, for the most part, out the window, but the cultural mores are the same when it comes to \"peer groups.\" I'm watching this first hand with grands, now. They want to dress the way everyone else does so that they do not stand out. They often choose to be a part of some activity not because it is what they want, but because it is the place to be, thing to do, way to act, etc. When we had the second set of twins(boy & girl)23 years ago we stopped referring to the older set as the \"twins\" and never did put that one back into the family vocabulary. Each one of them is as different as the day is long, and I'm thankful for that. PKs have always had a tough time growing up. Mine were no different, but they all made it and so did I. The question is, What is happening with people that causes them to go off on their peer group and slay them in bunches? I'm certain there are many in the fields of psychiatry and sociology attempting to figure this one out every day. Is there an answer? Personally I believe it all has to do with the \"love factor.\" Somewhere along the line these folks didn't connect with love the same way most of us do. I think that is another reason why we so desperately need God in each of our lives. That one that will love us without reservation. That one who will always be there for us. That ONE Creator with so much love for humankind that He gave His only begotten Son so that each of us might walk in the light and delight in creation. Love, it's not a simple thing. God bless, Preacher."

"original": "Using WordPress To Setup An E-Commerce Website That Is SEO Friendly\nWordPress is great for running a website or online blog but it lacks in terms of e-commerce ability. When it comes to building a great e-commerce website, many webmasters have suggested looking into other options like Magento and other open source scripts that are available for free. However, recent advancements in WordPress e-commerce plug-ins have presented a viable way to run e-commerce solutions off of your WordPress based websites. WordPress comes out of the box very SEO friendly, so it’s an excellent option if you can couple it with a functional e-commerce plug-in that gets the job done right. Throughout my many years of building websites and trying to find e-commerce options for many of them, I have tested out all of the WordPress plug-ins available for selling things online. Some of them are better at different things while some of them are simply not good at all. If you blog then make sure to get the best blog hosting. Below, I have mentioned three plug-ins which I have extensive experience with and were easy to make SEO optimized.\nWP E-commerce – This is a free shopping cart plug-in that lets customers buy your products or services online. It works for digital downloads and it also works for physical goods that require shipping as well. Unfortunately, while working with this plug-in I ran into numerous different bugs and my frustration level began to grow. Almost every time that I tried to integrate this plug-in into a website, I ended up scrapping it and moving on to something else. As the development of the plug-in grows, I fully expect that these bugs will be fixed and the plug-in will make an excellent free option. As it stands though, I would not recommend the WP e-commerce plug-in for anyone that is looking to run an e-commerce website and handles a large volume of products.\nSimple WP Shopping Cart – Hands down, if you sell digital products or services online then you must have this plug-in. It’s free, has a variety of different display options and it integrates directly into PayPal. This is the best plug-in if you’re looking to save money and want a simple solution for WordPress.\nWP eStore – This is by far my favorite plug-in throughout all of the e-commerce solutions that I have tried for WordPress. Although it isn’t free, it’s only about $50. However, this plug-in is not going to be a perfect fit for someone who needs to handle a large volume of products or if they want to ship any goods to their customers. I recommend the WP eStore plug-in for someone who runs digital goods or services. For instance, if you are a software developer and you would like to sell the programs that you make online, this plug-in will be a fantastic fit for you. It even handles the security aspects of your selling and allows you to generate secure tokens and keys that can be used for your customers to download the product. You can assign a specific number of downloads for each key that are generated so that it cannot be shared with other people.\nUltimately, WordPress might not be the best for e-commerce solutions but there are lots of plug-in options out there. While it might take a considerable amount of time to get plug-ins working in your favor, the outcome will be well worth it. Using WordPress as the foundation for an e-commerce website means that you will have an out-of-the-box SEO friendly site that can even be enhanced with the use of further plug-ins."

"original": "Darkest Hour stands apart from more routine historical dramas.\nRobert Wise's \"The Andromeda Strain\" works reasonably well as science fiction, but I don't want to approach it in a fiction mood today.\nThe most interesting thing about the movie, I think, is its production design, which seems to have begun where the interiors of the space station in \"2001: A Space Odyssey\" left off. We inhabit a world of smoothly, endlessly curving womblike plastic, with here a knob and there a computer read-out screen, and the sensation the movie gives us is not unlike permanent residence in one of those new Otis elevators.\nOne of the problems with science-fiction movies has always been the hardware. We're asked to believe that our heroes are somewhere beyond Alpha Centuri and picking up steam, but their control panel looks like a 1949 Studebaker that's dropped acid. The low in these matters was reached with Captain Video on the old DuMont network, whose ship actually rocked up and down as it sailed the sea of space, which presumably had waves just like the ocean.\n\"2001\" put all that behind, and made it necessary for science-fiction movies (ambitious ones, at least) to create a plausible environment. \"The Andromeda Strain\" does that absolutely brilliantly. The human characters almost seem an embarrassment to the Wildfire Project, a hermetically sealed laboratory on five levels below ground.\nTheir relationship with the computers that run Wildfire is, if anything, more intimate than the friendship between HAL 9000 and his human colleagues in \"2001.\" HAL was a computer intelligent enough to think, but he \"related\" with humans in a folksy sort of way that made him half-palatable.\nNo such effort is made to humanize the computer in \"Andromeda,\" and they go about their business with the efficiency of a Honeywell salesman. What's fascinating is the way the humans pick up the computer state of mind. They occasionally lapse into humanity (particularly in the case of Kate Reid, as a crusty lady biologist of a certain age). But when the going gets tough, they become abstract and machine-like even toward each other.\nSometimes movies come along with buried levels, and I think this is one. On the level of fiction, \"The Andromeda Strain\" is a splendid entertainment that will get you worried about whether they'll be able to contain that strange blob of alien green crystal. But if you find yourself experiencing \"Andromeda\" on only the story level, pull back for a moment and watch those people and those machines. Allow yourself to be seduced for a moment by that plastic environment, which is air-conditioned and indirectly lighted and self-monitoring and automated and God knows what else, and ask yourself if this is really the direction human interior decorating is moving in, or if the Holiday Inn has been wrong.\nStop watching movies made by assholes. It'll be OK.\nA review of Netflix's new Marvel series, \"The Punisher.\"\nOne of the best superhero films, in large part because the title character sincerely believes in values larger than a...\nThe work of the late author, writer and director William Peter Blatty will continue to haunt the dreams of readers an..."

"original": "Matthew Wright's Channel 5 daytime show has been told it did not break any broadcasting regulations, despite running a survey that used the words \"mong\", \"spaz\" and \"retard\".\nThe Wright Stuff, which aired the item that attracted the most complaints to Ofcom in 2011, has been cleared of breaking rules relating to harm and offence following an investigation by the media regulator.\nThe 26 April edition of the show featured Wright discussing the comment made by Rupert Murdoch at the Leveson inquiry into press ethics and standards when he described prime minister David Cameron's deceased son as \"retarded\".\nThe show then cut to a poll where a female voiceover asked viewers: \"According to one survey, what's the most offensive term to describe someone with learning difficulties? a. Mong b. Retard C. Spaz.\"\nThe answer, \"retard\", was subsequently supplied following an ad break. In 2008, a poll by the BBC also concluded that \"retard\" was the most offensive disability-related word.\n\"In Ofcom's view, there was editorial justification for including the survey as it related to a panel discussion about the use of the word \"retarded\", and was unlikely to exceed audience expectations because such a survey is a regular programme feature,\" said Ofcom.\nOfcom cleared Channel 5, which holds the broadcasting licence and is responsible for all shows aired on its channels, of an official breach of the UK broadcasting rules.\nHowever the media regulator did issue Channel 5 with cautionary guidance to make sure sensitive subjects are handled carefully in the future.\n\"Guidance was issued to Channel 5 to consider offering further information to viewers to provide more context and minimise the potential for offence,\" said Ofcom.\nThe Wright Stuff has been a magnet for Ofcom investigations of late.\nOfcom's investigation is the latest in a string of on-air gaffes that has landed Wright and his show in hot water with the media regulator.\nIn December, he imitated a catchphrase from the TV detective series Taggart – \"There's been another murder\" – to describe the death of teenager Liam Aitchison in the Western Isles of Scotland.\nThe comment prompted more than 2,200 complaints to Ofcom and became the most complained-about TV item of 2011.\nIn October, Wright was forced into making an on-air apology after asking viewers \"Amanda Knox: would ya?\", as part of a wider debate about her successful appeal against her Italian conviction for the killing of Meredith Kercher.\nOfcom received more than a dozen complaints that the comments were sexist and objectified women.\n• To contact the MediaGuardian news desk email [email protected] or phone 020 3353 3857.

"original": "Auto-enrolment provides £2,400 pension pot boost\nBeckett Frith, October 17, 2017\nAuto-enrolment was introduced by the government in October 2012\nAuto-enrolment has provided a £2,400 boost to the nation’s pension pots five years after it was introduced, according to research from Aegon.\nAegon has calculated the estimated pension pot of an average income earner (£26,500 p/a) who started saving in October 2012. The research estimates that the average UK worker, making minimum contributions from October 2012, would now have a fund of £2,440.\nAs minimum contribution levels rise to 5% in April 2018, and then 8% in April 2019, the same individual would build up a fund of £11,430 by 2022, assuming a 4.25% investment growth.\nKate Smith, head of pensions at Aegon, said the results were positive. “Five years on, it is hugely encouraging to see that auto-enrolment is having the desired effect, improving the financial preparedness of workers right across the UK,” she said. “However, it’s important people don’t become complacent and think that they’re home and dry by simply paying the minimum contributions.\n“Clearly, having some savings is better than having none, so those that have contributed 2% of ‘band earnings’ over the last few years are on the right track. But contribution levels do need to increase significantly if people are going to have enough to carry them through retirement comfortably.”\nSmith added that people need to think very carefully before deciding to give up on pension savings and lose their employer’s contribution. “People in the UK are living longer, and social care costs are now falling at the feet of more and more retirees,” she said. “It’s essential that people plan for these sorts of eventualities, and as these figures show, just contributing a little bit more really pays off in the long run.”\nAuto-enrolment was introduced by the government in October 2012 to reverse a decline in the number of pension savers. As soon as someone meets the eligibility conditions, they are automatically enrolled into a workplace pension and start saving a proportion of their salary, as well as receiving an employer contribution."

Over many years Fernández Menéndez had investigated and published about the relationships between then-governor Villanueva with narcotics traffickers and criminals. Villanueva had warned him to stop publishing these articles, and threatened him, but towards the end of his governorship it became evident that the governor had no support among his fellow PRI party members. It was at that point that Villanueva went to visit Fernández Menéndez and told him that everything he had written was correct, that he had received money and helped people enter Mexico illegally, but that he was not a narcotics trafficker. He then asked Fernández Menéndez to help him, at which point the journalist told him that he was not the one accusing him but that it was the federal government, the Secretary of Defense and the United States government which was in the process of trying him in absentia for narcotics trafficking. Villanueva subsequently fled the country after handing over power to Cuba, then Panama then Costa Rica, a few years later he was arrested after re-entering Mexico and was subsequently extradited to the United States to stand trial in New York. Last week, 13 years after he visited Fernández Menéndez, he pleaded guilty saying that he had laundered money for organized crime, and is now awaiting sentencing; they estimate that he will receive 20 years in prison… Fernández Menéndez finds it interesting that as Villanueva pleaded guilty, the news emerged that during the trial of the currently incarcerated military officers, one of the main events will be the confession of a protected witness, (Edgar Valdez Villareal aka La Barbie) who will testify that in 2007 the defendants allowed 13 airplanes with 3 ½ tons of cocaine each to land in the Cancun airport…\nTemplo Mayor: President Calderón will attend the plenary meeting of the elected PAN officials; The PRD is divided between two opposing groups with strong opinions about the qualification of the presidential election results; Gerardo Fernández Noroña has announced that he will be establishing a new political party, the Libertarian Left Movement.\nBajo Reserva, “Canibalismo en le PAN”: It seems as if Gustavo Madero and President Felipe Calderón are on a collision course; The PRI will announce this week who their leaders in the Federal Congress will be; Sinaloa Governor, Mario López, has turned his support towards Enrique Peña Nieto, stating that his pact was with Marcelo Ebrard not Andrés Manuel López Obrador.\nTrascendió: The new governors of Morelos, Tabasco and Mayor Mancera in the DF have said that they will not support AMLO’s protests after December…The joint denunciation by the PRD and the PAN before the PGR in the Monex case has not yet occurred and they do not know when it will, what they do know is that the PDR’s director, Zambrano, is not happy that his counterpart in the PAN, Madero, has said that his party needs to resolve some internal issues first."

After almost single handedly ruining the race for my team yesterday I woke up this morning determined to show them I was sorry and that I wanted to be apart of the action. Yesterday I had tried to be cagey and save energy in the group which when racing in aus doesn't always work. Infact whenever I have performed well in aus I have always adopted the attack is the best form of defence policy! So today that was my plan, don't miss a dangerous breakaway!\nAs expected from the gun riders shot out of the bunch like fire cracker's. Most significantly the 2 simons, clarke and gerrans were very active so I was pretty sure it was a day for the breakaway. So I joined in and was immediately in a dangerous move. Nobody seemed to want to work with me so we of course got brought back, no worries will keep trying. At this point our kiwi climbing ace george bennett came to me and said greenedge are wanting a guy up there and then sending gerrans of clarke accross. George's tactical nous is pretty impressive so I always trust his advice so I stayed alert for this. The attacks kept going and the ferocity with which garmin chased got less and less so the rubber band was stretching!!\nI was now super alert to georges advice and then I saw the move going. Mitch docker from greenedge attacked and I immediately got boivin to chase after him so we were in the same boat. They were now up the road and then sure enough simon clarke bolted from the pack and I was hot on his heels. George had read it perfectly. The group swelled a little and we were now setting sail to a 3minute lead and while this is not much I knew that there was a very good chance the peleton would not see us again all day.\nUp in the break we worked OK. Docker and Boivin did the bulk of the work and I kept rolling through regularly with a handfull of others. Quite a few spent the day sitting on but that didn't bother me, both jack haig and simon clarke were chipping in and they were the riders I knew would play a big part in the race on mt alexander. As we approached this pivotal kom 50km from the finish we still had a minute and I knew we had a big big chance now. My plan all day was pretty simple, get to the 5km moderate to hard climb with some sort of advantage and then open the throttle. That was if anybody did make it accross to us then I would only be strong riders and that would increase our chances of the breakaway making it to the finish. So onto the final 3km and the hard part of mt alexander!\nI immediately took the head of the field. Boivin had burried himself for me and it was now time for me to show him why. I quickly checked my srm which had ticked over the 3hr mark and my average power was only 240watts. Beauty in thought to myself, I did this power for almost 14hrs last thursday so I was as fresh as a daisy! It was time to open the throttle. I set a tempo to thin out the group and wait for simon clarke and jack haig to attack. Sure enough it came a couple of km's from the top so I just upped the anti a bit to ride back to them. The group was now down to 5 so I though bugger you lot if your going to attack me and slow down I will keep the pace going and keep some sting in your legs. Soon it was down to 4 and 200m from the top they attacked again for the kom points and I figured I am doing 430-450watts they are not going to far so I will just stay in my comfort zone and save my legs to ride them back across the top. Simon knew what I was up to and over the top he told the boys to wait which made it even easier for me to get back on, thanks pal!! As soon as I got back on I went straight back to the front and drilled it on the false flat accross the top of the mountain. This is always a spot where everyone is looking for a breather and I knew we could take some quick time out of what was left of the peleton. The tempo also dislodged another from the group and it w as finally the riders I had expected, Clarke, haig and Me! Onto the decent!!\nJack haig is a local bendigo boy and this next decent we needed to drop like stones. We had opened the gap from 38seconds on the climb to 1min over the top so we needed to keep it rolling. Jack being local took the bull by the horns on the decent and simon and I literally put our lives in his hands! We flew down this twisty narrow road having no idea where we were going except following the boy in blue ahead of us. Finally with a sigh of relief we hit the bottom. It was time for the hardest 35km 3man TTT we had ever ridden.\nWhen we heard garmin had only 3 riders left to chase it was music to our ears, it was now man against man, 3 on 3, perfect. This inspired us and we really dropped the hammer! We were working extremely well together doing even pulls and to give you an idea I was pulling at between 400-460 watts for 20 second periods so I knew while kept this up behind they needed 600 watts to close us down and for anybody that's not easy. At 15km we 1:30sec and if you follow the great phil liggits's tried and trusted formula around 1min per 10km is about the most a peleton can chase down on the run to the line. Under normal circumstances we were still no more than an even chance but in reality we had a greater than normal chance as it was not an entire peleton chasing us and merely a few guys. At 10km to we knew we had it. 19 year old jack haig had ridden himself into the ground to make this break work and was now having to stay in the wheels. This did not bother simon and I as we knew he had committed and without him we would not have survived. Jack haig is going to be a big player in the peleton in years to come so remember that name.\nInside 10km to go and we knew we were home and hosed. We agreed to work full gas together until the final couple of hundred meters and the best sprinter would win. Simon and I charged on and jack hung on for grim death. At 200m to go Simon kicked like and absolute Mule and I had no chance of going after him let alone trying to sprint past him. Simon really deserved the win today and I am very pleased for him and even happier the responsibility is on him and his team to control the bike race for tomorrow.\nSo what a day. It was capped of with second most aggressive rider award after the one I won at TDU. This one was a little more special as its sponsored by Subaru and as a Subaru ambassador I was happy to win the prize they sponsor. I earnt my first podium place for Cannondale since I joined the team in 2011 so again that's a nice little box to tick off. Just need to knuckle down now and see if I can finish one better in the future!\nToday's race data:\nAve Power: 303 watts\nAve heart rate: 160BPM\nMax Power: 1060watts\nMax Heart Rate: 194BPM\nKcal Burnt: 4350\nSent from my BlackBerry® wireless device"

We are on track, Russia will be a fantastic host. It will be a wonderful moment for Russia, the rest of the world and for football.\nSepp Blatter believes Russia will be \"fantastic hosts\" at the 2018 World Cup\n\"Hundreds of thousands of visiting fans will come to Russia for the first time in their lives and will be met with warmth, friendship and real Russian hospitality.\"\nEarlier, Blatter said to Putin there was \"complete trust\" in Russia's ability to host the tournament - significant given that the Swiss attorney general is investigating the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.\nBlatter said: \"We say 'yes' to Russia.

"original": "Looking for a boost in your diet? Believe it or not, bananas may have just about everything you need. Find out why bananas are the perfect snack and what else they can be used for in The Old Farmer’s Almanac for Kids (now available by clicking here!).\nLet’s Go Bananas\n• Bananas are the healthy fruit that makes you happy. They have almost no fat and no cholesterol or sodium. Compared to an apple, the banana has twice the carbohydrates, twice the phosphorus, and four times the protein. Plus, they contain a healthy heaping of vitamin A and double the other vitamins and minerals.\n• The banana’s natural sugars, combined with its fiber, will give you a quick boost of energy.\n• Research has shown that the potassium in bananas will make you alert.\n• Eating a banana will reduce stress. It will normalize your heartbeat, send oxygen to your brain, and regulate your body’s water balance.\n• Bananas contain tryptophan, a protein that improves your mood and makes you feel happy.\n• There are more than 500 different varieties of bananas. They come in many colors, including blue, green, orange, pink, red, and yellow. The super sweet red bananas (also called Jamaican bananas) have reddish-purple skin and are grown in South and Central America and on Caribbean islands.\nThe Skinny on Banana Skins\n• Rub scrapes and bruises with the inside of a banana skin. It will promote quick healing.\n• Polish your leather shoes with a banana skin. Rub the shoes with the inside of the skin. Then buff with a lint-free cloth.\n• Reduce swelling and itching from a bug bite by rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin.\n• Place a small piece of banana skin, yellow side out, on a wart. Put a big adhesive bandage over the banana skin to hold it in place. Keep the banana skin on the wart for 1 week to remove the wart.\nDoes This A-Peel To You?\n• If you peel a banana from the bottom (not the stem end), you won’t have to pick the little “stringy things” off of it.\n• Most monkeys peel bananas by pinching the bottom end of the banana. Try it! The pressure of pinching creates a rip in the peel, and makes it easy to remove.\nNot Just For Breakfast\n• String and twine can be made from banana plant fiber, which also can be woven into baskets, place mats, hats, and bags.\n• The banana plant helps to lower air pollution by absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide.\n• Banana leaves are often wrapped around food to be cooked and baked. The leaves can also be used as umbrellas or to polish wooden floors.\n• The stem of the banana “tree”(really a “pseudostem” made up of the large, overlapping leaf sheaths that form the “trunk”) can be used to make rafts and benches. In Sri Lanka, it is made into soles for shoes and used in floor coverings."

"original": "As job developers, when you deal with ex-offenders it’s important to assess them using a strength-based process rather than beginning with the many barriers they face. Or so says Larry Robbin, a nationally known expert in the area of workforce development, who offered this and many other pieces of advice to a crowd of more than 125 people from six San Francisco Bay Area counties at a July 11 workshop sponsored by the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development.\n“You need to engage this population very quickly and deeply,” Robbin says. “The opening conversations with people are usually a lot about their problems. You should start with their strengths and then get to those other issues.”\nTo get them to think in a positive manner, ask them:\n- What do people compliment you about? When you find out what others appreciate about your ex-offender client, you can get an idea of what their strengths are and what makes them appealing to others.\n- What jobs would you be good at? This question lets them make their own self assessment and will show you what they feel they would be comfortable doing.\n- What are you doing when you lose track of time? Asking this question is a way to find out what they’re passionate about.\n- What can you teach someone else to do? This will tell you the skills they know really well.\n- What did you want to be when you were a little kid? Some people never give up on their childhood dreams.\nOnce you ask these and any other similar questions you come up with, you’re ready to take the knowledge you’ve gained and apply it to building up your ex-offender client’s self esteem.\nUse the information the person gives you to paint a picture of them working. Do everything you can to help them see themselves in a job and a career.\nTell success stories of how people who were in reentry were able to find work. Use examples of other clients you’ve worked with, and if possible get those who found employment to call your current client and talk to them and tell them stories of how they did it.\nAt the same time you are encouraging the ex-offender to imagine that they are working, you also need to deal with the many barriers they face. This will take patience and time, so prioritize the barriers. Decide what has to be worked on first to get the person closer to employment. Don’t try to do too much with too many barriers all at the same time. Attack them one by one, and when you’ve successfully dealt with one of the barriers, move on to the next. You can keep a list for your own reference, but introduce them gradually to your client. Otherwise they might feel overwhelmed and give up.\nIt won’t be an easy process for you or your client, but using this strength-based assessment process, if done properly, is sure to provide positive results."

"original": "Missile defense ought to be on everyone’s mind these days as rogue nations like North Korea develop nuclear weapons and missile programs. They don’t have missiles that can reach the United States – yet – but surely that will come next. But China, the real ally and builder of North Korea, already has that technology and has nuclear missiles that at least used to be pointed at the United States.\nIf our politicians really want to protect the United States, there are three things needed. One, seal our borders so terrorists can’t simply walk across and bring a dirty bomb into the United States. Second, build a powerful missile defense program to provide a strengthened defense system against nuclear missiles. And third, quit providing financial and technological support to nations that have weapons aimed at us or that provide help and support to nations like North Korea. Nations that help our enemies should not be getting our money. Any questions?\nFor insight into some of the issues around missile defense, see “Countering North Korea’s Missiles: The Missile Defense System the U.S. Should Have” by Baker , June 2006. It argues persuasively that it’s long past time for Congress to support an improved missile defense system for dealing with ICBMs, such as the foolishly abandoned 1991 Global Protection Against Limited Strikes (GPALS) missile defense plan. We have the technology. What we need are politicians who care more about defending America than they care about keeping our global “partners” happy."

"original": "Baby’s First Visit\nTo prevent dental problems and learn how to care for your baby’s teeth, we recommend that you visit our office when the first tooth erupts or no later than your baby’s first birthday.\nWe specialize in infant oral health exams and parent education. We have found that when a parent begins to take care of their child’s teeth early, they have fewer cavities and are more cooperative for tooth brushing and flossing.\nBaby teeth are needed for proper chewing, learning to talk, developing jaw muscles and good self image.\nCavities in very young children cause pain and can lead to infection. Taking care of your baby’s teeth can prevent severe tooth decay, encourage proper nutrition and ensure a future of healthy permanent teeth.\nWe recommend that both mom and dad come to their BABY’S first visit.\nThis early appointment is one of the best things you can do for your baby. The doctor will examine his/her teeth, check for decay, make sure teeth are coming in the right order, screen all the oral tissues for diseases and determine proper jaw development.\nThere will be plenty of valuable information given to the family about how to brush baby’s teeth when they wiggle, nutrition and how it relates to the growth of the teeth, brain and body, and what to expect during teething. We will be able to answer all of your questions and help you and your baby become comfortable with dentistry and our office.\nDuring this appointment you will learn how to effectively clean your baby’s teeth starting with the use of gauze or a washcloth when the first tooth appears and the correct way to use an infant safety toothbrush. Toothbrush sizes and styles can vary. We will help you determine what products are right for your baby. We will inform you when you should start using fluoridated toothpaste or if your child can benefit from other sources of fluoride.\nToddlers are very active, especially when learning how to walk. We know you will appreciate learning what to look for and what to do if an injury to the mouth or teeth occurs.\nMany parents are often concerned about thumb and pacifier habits and if they can cause long term damage. We can offer some strategies on how to stop these habits and inform you about the problems that can arise with prolonged sucking behaviors.\nWe are looking forward to meeting your family and are excited that you are proactive in the health and dental care of your baby. Our dental team will join you in creating a safe, positive and loving environment while meeting the needs of your special little one.\nWe schedule field trips to our office for preschool classes and parent groups.

Someone might have told us that Jesus will solve all our problems, fix all our finances, heal all our relationships, and in general, make life like a bed of roses.\nThe problem is that all such teachings are lies. Though it is true that life with Jesus is better than life without Him, it is not true that life is easier. To the contrary, life is much harder. The sooner we realize this the better, because then we can begin to view life with the proper perspective, which helps combat the disillusionment and depression we sometimes face when following Jesus only seems to lead to despair and darkness.\nAnd yet in the face of tribulations and difficulties, we can still have peace. Look what Jesus says in John 16:33.\nThese things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.\nHow can following Jesus be full of tribulation, but also full of peace?\nBecause, as Jesus says, He has overcome the world. Nothing that the world does to us can have the final victory over us, because Jesus is victorious. He has conquered sin, death, and the devil.\nTherefore, when all life fall apart around us, we can still live with peace and good cheer, and not fall into depression or anxiety, because no matter what, in Jesus Christ, we too have overcome the world.\nScriptural Books on Depression\nHere are some helpful books for learning more about what Scripture teaches on the topic of depression.

By reflecting on how you can improve yourself you are constantly learning and growing as a professional.\nConsider how well you are accomplishing your goals while you are doing your task. Reflect on how well you are meeting your objectives, what you can improve upon and how well you are being received while the process is ongoing.\nReview your performance after you have completed your task. Reflect on ways you can improve your performance. Write out a self evaluation journal. Evaluate your objectives and see how well you met them. Devise methods to improve your performance for the next time you are in that situation.\nAnalyze the problems you had in terms of content, process and premise. In content reflection, look at the content of the problem you faced or the facts of the problem. With process reflection, analyze the steps you took to solve the problem and how effective those steps were. In premise reflection, look at the root cause of the problem and the assumptions that led to its occurrence.\nSeek out the feedback of others in the form of interviews, surveys or formal evaluations. Take the feedback seriously and use that information to improve your performance for the next time you must perform your task.\n- Hemera Technologies/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images"

"original": "Finding the Spark\nEntrepreneurship Seniors Launch Nanotechnology Startup Through Wolff Center\nWOLFF CENTER STUDENTS (FROM LEFT—BRYAN MARTINEZ, KIRAN MEGHANI, EMMIT SCHULTZ, ARSHEEN MEMON AND RISHABH JAIN) ARE LEADING A STARTUP THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE SOLAR INDUSTRY.\nWe were always the underdog team, but we used that perception to inspire us not to give up. Because we are entrepreneurs, we all have a natural motivation and desire to win.\nMARKETING & ENTREPRENEURSHIP SENIOR\nA team of undergraduate students from Bauer College’s entrepreneurship program are leading a startup that has the potential to revolutionize the solar industry.\nIn collaboration with the University of Houston’s Division of Research, students from the college’s Cyvia and Melvyn Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship (WCE) are divided into teams and tasked with creating business plans around intellectual property developed by university faculty. That’s how Bauer seniors Rishabh Jain, Bryan Martinez, Kiran Meghani, Arsheen Memon and Emmit Schultz first came together.\nThe five students were assigned a self-assembling nano-coating technology developed by Dr. Randall Lee, chair of the UH Department of Chemistry. The product, which provides a longer lasting coating alternative for solar panels, aims to transform the clean energy industry. With support from the Wolff Center, the team built a startup called Vescence around the technology.\n“It’s a great way to apply everything that we’ve learned at Bauer,” Memon said. “Everything that I’ve learned in the past four years, whether it be from finance or management classes, I’ve been able to apply in some way during this process.”\nAfter fine-tuning their business plan and receiving guidance from mentors on their presentation skills, the team entered and won the Houston Maker Fair and UH business plan competitions, winning a total of $4,000. They were also named audience favorite in the UH competition, despite ranking near the bottom of their class in early evaluations.\n“We were always the underdog team,” Meghani said. “But we used that perception to inspire us not to give up. Because we are entrepreneurs, we all have a natural motivation and desire to win.”\nThe team also credits WCE faculty and mentors for providing them with valuable feedback that helped them excel during the competitions.\n“I think the WCE really gave us everything we needed,” Memon said. “They never held back. For example, James Kane and Keith Rassin, faculty who recently joined the program, work really closely with us. (Former WCE director and current UH executive director for the Center for Industrial Partnerships) Ken Jones has also always given us any time we need. And (WCE director) Dave Cook has been very helpful in making sure the team gets along well.”\nThe team received coaching on everything from improving their presentation slide deck to their posture and wardrobe while presenting — details that made the difference when it came to competing and putting their leadership skills to practice, the team said.\n“Sometimes they would be extra tough on us in order to challenge our knowledge and tenacity to move forward,” Schultz said. “But it challenged us in building that courage and confidence.”\nJain added: “The Wolff Center showed us that every leader has stronger skills and weaker skills. We used that in our presentation by putting our stronger speakers first and last, and deciding which topic each person should cover.”\nEven though all five students on the team will graduate this year, they don’t plan to stop working to launch Vescence anytime soon. They’ve got their sights set on more business plan competitions and are already in negotiations with international beta sites to continue developing the product.\n“We’re focusing on the solar industry, but this technology has so many industries that it could be applied to,” Schultz said. “Once we’re comfortable in this market, we plan to then diversify within other markets.”\nThe team also hopes to someday use Vescence to give back to the global community, a passion they say they all share.\n“If we can use this technology to improve how clean energy is produced and make it more efficient, maybe we can take it to countries that don’t have electricity,” Martinez said. “Not only is there a focus on profits, but there’s a social aspect too.”"

"original": "Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai: This series had tremendous hype, since it is based on the 'best visual novel of the year' award winner. Now that it's finally reached the silver screen, it turns out to be just as good as expected. The girls look fabulous. The humor is uproarious. The male lead is unique and cool. My only complaints so far seems to be the low budget that constrains the detail level of the animation and backgrounds and the amount of affection points this guy already seems to have bagged with the girls before the story even begins. It's sort of an uneventful love story if all the girls like him already without him even having to try. But I guess that's reality for you. Girls love you or not based on first impressions and second-hand info alone, so there's really no point trying hard in the first place. In any case, this series has a ton of potential with so many likable characters and a 'secret to this world' under-plot which will sustain the suspense and drama as the humor plays out. In a lot of ways, this show reminds me of Da Capo III, which is in no way a bad thing. Whether this series reaches my rankings or not depends on whether it reaches its full potential. Pass.\nShirobako: For a story about producing an anime this show sure has a lot of fast and furious car racing. Oh well, aside from that dollop of American-ism, the rest of the show is great. It shows a lot of earnest and hardworking people who love what they're doing doing their best in the entertainment industry. How could you not be charmed by such a group? The plot is fantastic and the characters are all instantly likable. This show is already heartwarming. Whether it will be dramatic or not is an open question though. If it wants to match the likes of Natsuiro Kiseki, it will have to add drama into its normally cheerful presentation. We'll just have to wait and see, but for now it's one of the most promising series of the fall season. Pass.\nShigatsu wa Kimi no Uso: An extraordinary project with an obviously high budget and epic tone. The characters are great, the setting believable and realistic, and the plot development in terms of both coming-of-age and romance look stellar. There's basically nothing wrong with this series. However, it doesn't pluck at the heart strings like the moe-ness of Sora no Method, nor does it have eye-catchingly unique people like Grisaia no Kajitsu. Basically, it doesn't have that indelible hook that really makes it stand out compared to other shows. A well polished bead of glass as opposed to a diamond, huh? Nevertheless, this is another excellent addition to the fall season. Pass.\nOre, Twintails ni Narimasu: This show has a slow start, where a hero wastes time by being reluctant and ecchi portions are included for no reason (of an old hag no less, so no one would want them to be included anyway). But the second half is nigh perfect. The world is in peril, space lizards have come to steal our twin-tail (pig tails in English) hairstyle, and only transforming magical girls can save the day. Only the leader of the squad is a boy with a twintail fetish, not an actual twintail girl. It's great! What boy wouldn't want to transform into a beautiful flame-haired twintail savoir of twintails everywhere? The art and animation from this point on are great. All the corny lines which are straight rip-offs of other series are hilarious and fit perfectly. For such a silly and overused concept, this series has really found a way to carve out a niche for itself. A magical girl boy. A world in peril only not really. Posing as a kid's show but actually meant to be enjoyed by adults. The discordance is pleasing to the palette -- there hasn't been a red-headed girl who's really a boy since Ranma -- and everyone knows how great that show was. Welcome back, true-transexuals! You put the nisemonos to shame. Pass.\nGirlfriend (Kari): A very fluffy show that just shows a variety of girls with cute speech patterns, hairstyles, colorful school uniform skirts, etc, all doing their preferred activities, from sports to cultural activities to meta-school jobs like the student council or the public service announcer. Hundreds of girls to choose from, you can like any one of them you like, or all of them together. There shouldn't be much drama in this series so just relax and enjoy the show. A montage of eye and auditory candy awaits. Pass.\nMeanwhile, having watched the second episode of World Trigger, I can say that I'm thoroughly sick of Osamu, but the albino kid is cool so I guess I'll endure it for now. After the second episode of Cross Ange, I decided the show's only purpose was fanservice of a rather sick variety, so I gave up on it. If it had treated its own plotline more respectfully this could have gone differently, but oh well.\nSince I still have five slots left to fill in my top 170 anime rankings, I'll go ahead and fill those in now from the new fall shows. If they end up sucking later I can just take them back out and put in some new winter anime series instead, but I'd like to get up to par on my list as soon as possible so here it goes:\n166. Grisaia no Kajitsu\n167. Akame ga Kill\n168. Sora no Method\n169. Akaktsuki no Yona\n170. Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai\nThese are the five most promising new series rolling into the fall season. Let's hope all five of them deliver on their potential and justify their new ranked status.\nStill to come, Yuuki Yuuna wa Yuusha de Aru, which comes out after some of these latest episodes I just gave my first impressions on already get a second episode, which makes it quite the straggler. We'll see how good it is when the time arrives, but at least provisionally it's time to rank the fall series in order of how excited I am to see each new episode from them as they come out, and in terms of what series I actually intend to be watching this season:\n(Fairy Tail has just entered filler so it's no longer on my watch list. It was nice while it lasted, but I guess this is what happens with long-running series based on manga.)\n1. Sword Art Online II\n2. Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works\n3. Grisaia no Kajitsu\n4. Sora no Method\n5. Akatsuki no Yona\n6. Akame ga Kill\n8. Daitoshokan no Hitsujikai\n9. Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu\n10. Amagi Brilliant Park\n11. Dragon Ball Kai Buu\n12. One Piece\n13. Sailor Moon Crystal\n15. Yama no Susume Second Season\n16. Girlfriend (Kari)\n17. Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso\n18. Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete\n19. Madan no Ou to Vanadis\n20. Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de\n21. Nanatsu no Taizai\n22. Happiness Charge Pretty Cure\n23. Trinity Seven: 7-nin no Mahoutsukai\n24. World Trigger\nOne series longer than my summer anime watchlist when it began! Plus Yuuki Yuuna might still be good, which would bump it up to 25 shows. A very promising beginning to the end of the year. Even without Jojo's, Hunter x Hunter or Fairy Tail there's still this much good anime in the world!"

The three most in-desire are Eyeglasses, disposable lenses and also the latest addition for their list, LASIK surgery. But what are The good factors about these selections to correcting a single’s sight?\nIt is definitely a tragic but real undeniable fact that the human eyes, even though remarkable within the biological level, never normally get the job done at utmost ability. They are often unbelievably fragile and sometimes typically have issues even underneath great situations, resulting in moderate to extreme eyesight impairment.\nOne of the previous matters it is best to do before coming to a decision is to examine together with your condition's dental board.

"original": "Yurosh strode confidently onto the court with the visible arrogance often possessed by so-called ‘child prodigies’. He had the serve of a thirteen year old, but all the grace and charm of a crack addict. He stepped up to the baseline, draped in a glossy white Nike windbreaker and matching tracksuit pants. Yurosh spun his brand new racquet impatiently in his hands as he waited for his opponent. Tommy Barton scampered into position, stumbling and dropping his racquet. I concealed my amusement, fearing the judgement and eternal damnation of any overly invested parents. Tommy picked himself up and waddled into position. I handed Yurosh three balls and climbed into the umpire chair. With pen and scoreboard in hand, I signalled the start of the under 11 boy’s grand-final.\nYurosh glided his fingers through his thick, eastern-European mane and tossed the ball into the air. His racquet struck the ball with a fierce momentum, propelling it over the net and into Tommy’s service box. Despite his goofy, gummy-bear appearance, Tommy Barton had an inexplicable technique akin to that of a drunken master. His movements appeared chaotic and uncoordinated, and yet, he always returned his opponent’s shots with staggering speed and precision. Tommy swiped his racquet through the air, whipping Yurosh’s serve back cross court. Yurosh dashed to return Tommy’s forehand. His strings barely scraped the ball and hit it out.\nYurosh whacked his racquet against his shoe as he sulked across the court and prepared to serve. Tommy waddled happily across to the other side of the court, ready for the next point. Yurosh wiped his sweaty hand against his shiny tracksuit and gripped his racquet tightly. He lobbed the ball up and once again, his racquet snapped downward with incredible force. The ball crashed through the air and nicked the corner of the service box. The ball smacked the back fence before Tommy had raised his racquet. I rolled my eyes as Yurosh pumped his fists and exerted loud, unnecessary grunts.\nA grizzly, Russian voice cried out from the crowd.\nA towering, athletic man in heavy black sunglasses leaned obtrusively against the fence. Beneath a fluoro-green tracksuit, an airtight singlet exposed a dense bundle of chest hair. An obnoxious gold chain swung hypnotically between the thick folds of dark fur. Behind him, a younger woman sat delicately in a camping chair. Her manicured frame was constricted by a garish leopard print top and neon pink yoga pants. Enormous golden hoops dangled from her earlobes like hollow Frisbees. She had sat there the whole morning, mesmerized by the shiny screen in her hands. The man barked like a pitbull through the fence.\n“Hit the ball, Yurosh!”\nYurosh shrank as his father’s words circled him. For the first time, I felt sorry for him.\nYurosh snapped to attention and stared at Tommy with a fiery determination. He tossed the ball and launched it toward Tommy. The ball’s trajectory sank and crashed into the net.\n“Yurosh!” his father snarled.\nYurosh buried his eyes into his shoes, cursing beneath his breath. His second serve arched well above the net and a wave of relief washed over Yurosh’s face. Tommy addressed the ball with his signature, spaghetti style. The rally lasted an impressive ten shots before Tommy mistimed a backhand and sent the ball careening into the double sideline. Noticing the sudden applause, Yurosh’s mother popped up from her phone and clapped enthusiastically, oblivious to her son’s achievement.\nAfter Yurosh claimed the first game, the two boys switched sides. Yurosh wore a lost expression as he walked past the net, craning his neck in search of something.\n“Dad, I need my water bottle!”\nYurosh’s father massaged his dark eye brows.\n“Where is it?”\n“In the car. Can you get it?”\n“No. Wait till later.”\nTommy called out from the baseline.\n“You can use mine, it’s just behind you!”\nTommy pointed at Yurosh’s feet. He tracked Tommy’s finger to a baby pink water bottle with a cheerful lady-beetle emblazoned across the front. Yurosh handled it hesitantly.\n“You sure it’s yours?”\n“Yeah, my sister let me borrow it!”\nYurosh cautiously brought the bottle to his lips and took a sip. A smile crept across his face as he screwed the lid shut.\nTommy and Yurosh proceeded to exchange a series of gruelling rallies and tight games. The match was tied at five all. Yurosh was up forty-love as he carefully prepared to deliver his serve. His father grimaced through the fence, monitoring his son’s movements meticulously from behind his bulky sunglasses.\n“Finish it, Yurosh!”\nThe serve torpedoed into the service box and kicked up over Tommy’s head. Tommy jumped and managed to hook his racquet around the ball. On his way down, he landed awkwardly and crumbled to the ground. The crowd held their breath as the ball rocketed toward the clouds. The ball hung, suspended in the sky. It fell into Yurosh’s court and leapt above his head. The shot was slow and easy. The match was his.\nIn that moment, the world stopped. The sound of the crowd melted away and every eye turned to Yurosh. Yurosh’s father gripped the fence tightly, grinning in anticipation. Tommy had curled into a ball on the ground and clutched at his leg in pain. Yurosh’s eyes widened, hypnotized by the ball dancing lazily in the air. Beyond the court, a coach was bringing the tournament trophy down from the clubhouse. The golden trophy gleamed like diamond in the sunlight. Yurosh grinned. He drew his racquet back and prepared for victory.\nThe world resumed and Tommy cried out in anguish. The cry pierced Yurosh’s ears as the ball landed. His eyes darted to Tommy, then back to the ball. He hesitated and lowered his racquet slightly. Another howl rang out and Yurosh’s attention snapped to Tommy. Abandoning the shot, he sprinted toward Tommy.\nI vaulted off the chair and bolted toward Tommy. To my surprise, Yurosh had arrived before me and was already comforting Tommy. Tears streamed from Tommy’s face as he cried out in agony. His ankle had swelled like a tyre and jutted out from his leg at an unnatural angle. In a panic, I called out to the crowd.\n“Someone call an ambulance!”\nA delicate Russian voice replied through the fence. I looked up and recognised the leopard print.\n“I already have. They’re on their way.”\nTommy’s parents tore across the court, followed by a first-aid officer carrying a bulky pack of medical supplies. Tommy’s cries had now been reduced to soft, laboured whimpers. Yurosh offered him tiny sips from his water bottle. Yurosh and I were instructed to step back. The officer applied an ice pack to Tommy’s ankle. Tommy’s mum picked him up from the ground and cradled him in her arms. In a delirious state of shock, Tommy leant over his mother’s shoulder and whispered loudly at Yurosh.\n“Di-did I win?”\nYurosh stared at Tommy’s glazed, gummy bear eyes and grinned.\n“Yeah, you won, buddy.”\nSirens blared as the ambulance pulled up outside the court. Tommy flopped his head against his mum’s chest and mumbled softly.\n“Good game, Yorsh.”\n“Good game, Tommy.”"

You don’t have to change your perspective drastically to get results—sometimes you can capture a great image simply by moving yourself up or down a few feet (Figures 8.10 and 8.11). Not only will you be looking at the subject from a different perspective, but your background will also change, sometimes for the better. Try moving up and down when taking photos to see what kind of results you can get.\nGiving your images a different perspective can also change the dynamics of the image (Figure 8.12). By getting in close, you bring the viewer into the scene so they feel as if they’re experiencing the moment along with you."

We'll leave Missoula tomorrow around noon and head south on Hwy 93 through Idaho, through the top half of Nevada, then cut over to Cali. The girls are already dreading the long ride. Little do they know that thirty years from now they'll laugh and reminisce together about family roadtrips. It's a rite of passage I wouldn't dare deny them.\nBesides, my kids don't know how good they've got it. Rear air conditioning vents, iPods, prepackaged snacks. In my day it was a steamy hell (pardon my french) in the back of our mini-van. As the oldest of six kids I was always in the way back. The air conditioning never even reached that area. You could cook a 20-pound turkey back there. I clung to my walkman (trying to keep those cheap headphones perched on my head) and dined on sweaty cheese sandwiches (you know how cheese gets when it's warm). As a matter of fact, that is one of my most vivid childhood memories – eating sweaty cheese sandwiches from a lukewarm cooler on family vacations. My parents (bless their hearts) in an effort to keep us healthy and grow our little bodies to the fullest potential, were part of the health food movement of the 1970s. We ate the grainiest of breads, with chunks of cheddar, or spread with oil-on-top peanut butter and a swath of honey (which soaked into the bread for a soggy/sticky effect). It was during one of those childhood trips that I said quietly to myself \"my children will never know the warm, squishy taste of sweaty cheese.\" I think I've upheld that commitment mostly for my own sake though. The mere thought of those sandwiches makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.\nHere's some music to get you excited!"

Alternatively, users can choose between using a Celeron chip or a Pentium 4 processor with HyperThreading technology from Intel Corp.\nThe Pentium chip can come with up to 3GHz, an 80GB hard drive and 1GB of memory. The desktop also can run Microsoft Corp.s Windows or MandrakeSoft SAs Mandrake Linux operating systems.\nThe dc5000 comes with a 12-month lifecycle and a software image that will be common with all systems across the 5000 line. It also comes with HPs Lifecycle Solutions manageability tools, which enable easier deployment into business networks.\nThe dc5000 comes in a microtower or small-form-factor configuration and also can be pre-configured or customized with Celeron or Pentium 4 chips. It also offers up to a 160GB hard drive and 4GB of memory. In addition, it has tool-less access to internal components for easier maintenance.\nThe 7000 series will offer added security features—such as TCPA support and remote hood sensors— management offerings, and a product lifecycle of 18 months.\nBoth the dx2000 and dc5000 are available now, with pricing starting at $389 and $599, respectively."
