pices with a 45degree cut and another which is the same width as the cajon body. These will be used to hold the snare in place. We also need to cut the snare wire in half. This is best done using an angle grinder. The snare needs to be well supported and clamped down or the individual wires will be knarled and twisted. What we want to do is cut the snare and leave the individual wires in a uniform position. The next thing we need to do is fix on the playing surface. I glue the playing surface at the bottom and up each side, but the top and about 4 inches of each side are left without glue. These areas will be screwed in place later. Once the front has been glued on and the glue has set we can drill whole and countersink them for the screws at the top of the cajon. These screws allow the player to adjust the tightness of the front panel. If the screws are slacked by about a quarter of a turn the front will crack against the body when the cajon is played and give a high end sound. Whereas if the screws are fully tightened the crack sound will reduce and the bass sound will be more prominent. Its a matter of taste. But at this point we can measure out the screw positions, countersink them and tighten the screws. Then we can fit the snare. We do this | HI | HI HT | 1,480,165 |
I liken them as the unsung heroes of a hotel or resort. Cleanliness is a facet of a guest's stay that, when done properly, goes unnoticed, and when neglected, becomes a rally point for scorn in an online review site of choice. Overlook your housekeeping at your own risk! Victor Aburto is the Director of Housekeeping at Montage Beverly Hills ( www.montagebeverlyhills.com ), a five-diamond property in the heart of Los Angeles. Victor has a passion for housekeeping and that's why I sought him out for an interview after my stay at his luxurious and impeccably clean hotel. Tell me a little bit about your background and your career. Having started at the Ritz-Carlton, Cancun, I held the Overnight Front Desk and Overnight Manager positions for just a short time before finding my groove in the Housekeeping department. It was there I was awarded the Leader of the Quarter and Leader of the Year. I then continued with the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando, Bachelor Gulch, Washington D.C. and Laguna Niguel. In total, over 18 years experience in the industry. What are the broad changes you've seen in your 18 years of housekeeping experience? It hasn't changed that much, although it's importance is definitely recognized much more today. I feel General Managers today are now more supportive and appreciative of their housekeeping teams. They see the value of the role housekeeping plays to the core product. When interviewing a prospective housekeeper, how can you discern if they are 'right' for the job? | SP | SP IT | 3,374,115 |

happen to meet, say at a doctor's office waiting room or at the hairdresser's. The widows begin talking, and quickly start sharing pieces of their lives. One widow is in her late 50s and still has minor children at home. The other widow has no children, and the house she and her husband bought will be going into foreclosure. One widow's spouse had life insurance; the other widow's spouse had none so she fears how she will pay the bills. Each of their situations is so different. The only real similarity is-- each woman's husband died. Without knowing these details, one or both of the women could be offended to hear, "Well, I guess we're in the same boat." Whether the specifics are said or are left unspoken, no one can ever assume that the "same boat" defines the true situation of either party. For this reason, people should think twice about using common idioms unless they really know the other person's situation. | ID | ID QA | 520,912 |
to get home and they're part-way across the Atlantic?! I imagine you would have to wait until the next port of call. I have pondered this question myself whenever we have gone away. Both sets of parents are well into their 80's so the inevitable is going to happen one day, I only hope it's not when we are away, but I would like to know even if I couldn't get home straight away. That's a difficult one, my FIL was taken ill a couple of days after we left on a Xmas cruise ( he was fine when we left ) sadly he died the following day, the family decided there was nothing we could do so chose not to tell us until we returned, whether that was the right decision who knows all I do know is that we were mid Atlantic and even if we had flown home when we reached NY we wouldn't have made it in time. I may sound heartless ............. but I wouldnt. My son went down ill whilst my wife and I were in France for a weekend, and neither he or his wife let us know until we were actually back in the UK (1.5 days later). To drive back under that sort of pressure would not be safe, and they took the decision to hold back a little. For much the same reasons I would not ask that my family was informed should i take a turn for the worse. | ID | ID DF | 450,016 |
which require very technical qualifications/skills. For example, some consultants have mathematical and IT skills that enable them to help comprehend, model/simulate problems to help their clients to visualise complex problems, and even use advanced mathematical algorithms to find solutions to problems, such as improving the operational output times/volumes of factories/processes (using existing or less resources). Then there are those consultants who help the government sector to procure services, you won't believe the amount of EU regulations / minefields that are out there that the public sector has to adhere to, one minor mishap and they get sued for millions, hiring expeienced advisors/consultants help prevent such mishaps (a benefit that is never advertised)...

Reaching over, Adelaide placed her hand over Harry's giving it a friendly squeeze making him turn his head, his sad eyes connecting with hers as she gave him a warm smile. "So what's this about a surprise?" Adelaide asked happily, hoping to relieve the depression from the current conversation topic. "No way missy," Harry laughed as he shook his head at her, "it's not called a 'surprise' for nothing." Adelaide playfully pouted before she began to study the outside surroundings, her eyes scanning over and every passing building, her attention lingering on the aged brick and concrete that made the city all the more interesting.

There's nothing Apple can do to stop publishers distributing them from the web, or even better, a neutrally owned pseudo-app store. What's really changed in the past two years isn't the iPad, but the realisation of publishers that they can ignore the utopian windbags, and charge for something.

we dress and not force their women to cover their heads and condemn western women for not covering their heads. They would read the bible instead of the Koran. Bury their dead in Christian graves instead of demanding that we dig up our dead relatives so that they can create Muslim cemeteries.

bicycle outside her house. She was said to have been playing with her bicycle when abducted Will the river give up a terrible secret? By PAUL HARRIS There had been so many prayers, so much hope. Everyone had worked tirelessly for four days and nights, trying to find April Jones and return her safely to her family. Now they were looking for a body in the river. And so, with renewed intensity, the search for the missing five-year-old focused on the fast-flowing waters of the River Dovey yesterday in the most concentrated effort of the hunt so far. With specialist teams, plus some of the most sophisticated technology available, every section of the river as it winds towards the sea at Cardigan Bay was being examined by boat, helicopter, on foot and by divers. Search teams launch boats into the river as it emerges police are now looking for April's body A sonar boat is used to search the River Dyfi following the disappearance of April Once, this area was renowned only as a beauty spot, a place of majesty and tranquillity. Now it was a potential crime scene teeming with police, mountain rescue teams, coastguard officers and search experts. Somewhere here, it is believed, April's abductor may have dumped her body after snatching her from outside her home on Monday evening. Somewhere, perhaps, the river will give up the secret of an innocent schoolgirl's miserable last resting place -- and end the agony of uncertainty for her tormented family. | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 110,710 |

Members would then begin to understand why so many Government Members feel strongly that action must be taken now. The hon. Gentleman makes a powerful case. I stood beside a dairy farmer in my constituency as their herd was loaded for slaughter, and it is an extremely distressing experience, but that is all the more reason why we should listen to the science and not make the situation worse. It is simply wrong to suggest that that is not what people on both side of the debate are trying to achieve. Of course, we will be arguing about the science, and both sides feel strongly that their scientific arguments are correct and that they have the correct scientists' feedback on their side. That will continue throughout the debate. I echo the comments by Martin Horwood about how much sympathy we all have for farmers and the dairy industry. We have to deal with this disease.

3.58 m New Technology Telescope (NTT) in Chile, which commenced operation in March 1988 (1). The instrument employs 75 adjustable pressure pads on the back of the primary to modify automatically the shape of the mirror when it is in different positions (1). ADAPTIVE OPTICS Images of astronomical objects are blurred and degraded by atmospheric turbulence . "Adaptive optics" is a technology for sharpening turbulence-degraded images, by using fast-moving, flexible mirrors to "unscramble" the optical distortion and thereby improve the angular resolution . The key elements of an adaptive optics system are a wave-front sensor, an adaptive mirror, and a control computer, as shown in the diagram below. Let us talk through this diagram to explain how the system works. An optical wavefront passing through air is distorted by turbulence. The light is collected by the telescope, and fed to the adaptive optics system . The wave-front sensor measures the distortion, the control computer calculates the mirror shape needed to remove the distortion, and this correcting shape is applied to the adaptive mirror by a series of fast-acting actuators , to reconstruct the undistorted image. This procedure is repeated about 1000 times per second, to track the rapidly varying turbulence. It is this speed that is the major difference between adaptive and active optical systems. In correcting the distorted image, the system uses as a reference either a real guide star in the field of view or an artificial guide star created by laser light backscattered off air molecules in | IN | IN RA | 165,324 |

unsympathetic fact that all there are buckets and buckets of research that all basically point towards the conclusion A sedentary lifestyle is fundamentally unhealthy and causes the human body all manner of health problems, because the human body and brain evolved to function in the context of autonomous movement. Call it scolding if you like, my up-thread comment certainly wasn't sugar-coated. But the bare, unambiguous fact on the ground is that people have to find a way to make sweating a part of their lifestyle and make moving under their own power a daily part of their life, or there are very negative health consequences. How people feel about it and what they do about it, that's up to them and I sincerely wish them luck because I've been out of shape, overweight, and under strong.

progress on many matters affecting working-class interests. In July 1899, to circumvent these threats, Seddon engaged an "organiser", who formally dissolved each of the local Liberal associations and merged them in a new national body -- the Liberal and Labour Federation. For this, which became the first New Zealand political party in the modern sense, Seddon drew up a formal written constitution which he based on the well-known and successful "Birmingham System". This system, which had been inaugurated by Joseph Chamberlain in the 1880s in Birmingham, became the pattern on which all succeeding political parties in New Zealand have based their organisations. The Liberal and Labour Federation of New Zealand Unlike most of its successors the federation was not, in its initiation, a popular or spontaneous political movement. It was organised downwards pyramidally and the initiative for forming its hierarchy came from the Premier, who also became the party leader. The precise nature of the relationship between the parliamentary and extra-parliamentary parties was never clearly defined. Cabinet retained its right to be the ultimate arbiter over all matters of policy, although even these, in so far as they arose out of the party platform, were adopted only after consultations between the Cabinet, caucus, and the advisory committee of the party.

Catherine was modern in her effort to 'decentralise' local authority/autonomy while keeping vital links with the 'heart' of the Congregation. She did not centralise excessively and allowed situations to be handled in their own locality without interfering. "The climax of her attractiveness writes a novice who knew her (Positio LXXXVII) was that she was always the same, always ready to listen, to consider and direct whenever applied to." Catherine was open to new pedagogical ideas. She had a methodology that highlighted catechism for the young.

rock capable of accepting this fluid. In the US each such well is a closely regulated activity by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If Europe followed this model, similar regulatory oversight would be required. But the geology of the area has to cooperate. On the US East Coast deep disposal is essentially not feasible in the prolific Marcellus and Utica prospects. The other disposal method is to treat and re-use for the same fracking purpose. This is the preferred option from an environmental standpoint in part because it minimizes handling and transport, which are subject to spills. The cost of the re-use option is less if the water does not have to be treated to fresh standards of 500 ppm salinity. In recognition of this, the service industry has been innovating to permit salty water to be used as the fracking fluid base. Today, 40,000 ppm salinity is completely tolerable. One could reasonably expect that number to go to 80,000 ppm shortly. Even higher salinity tolerance targets are also technically feasible. All this means that flowback water could re-used with minimal treatment in some cases. In other cases some fresh water could simply be added for dilution and some other steps may be needed, such as removal of bacteria. In the more difficult instances, desalination would be required, but targeting salinities of only 40,000 ppm today and even higher targets tomorrow. This limited desalination keeps the costs down.

if it was in fact used for halyards, that means cotton chants were adapted to halliards, too. Either way it is significant, but I'm not sure which way! Interesting to see how CHEERLY persisted into this time, as a halliard chantey. In this example, there is a clear 4-phrase stanza-like form -- as it appears in Hugill. In other words, it wasn't just "say a line, then pull at the end," but rather the melodic cadences and the "hawly" phrase caused sets of 4 lines to be grouped. Also interesting how the passenger attests hearing chanties for all work on a schooner. That statement may have to be qualified by something we are unaware of. However, it seems to contradict the idea that chanties weren't used on schooners "because they weren't needed." Perhaps the "need" for chanties on packet ships is what spurned the development, and once they became ubiquitous there, they became popular on lighter fore/aft rigged vessels, too. THE WESTERN WILDS OF AMERICA, by John Regan (2nd. edition, 1859), mentions a riverboat trip in the Mississippi Valley (Galena River, Illinois) that he took circa 1843-1846. No specific song is mentioned, but he does describe his impression of the singing of African-American firemen: About dark a steamer from Galena going down, called at the landing-place to take in grain, and we got on board to vary the journey and ease our limbs. The night was exceedingly hot and oppressive, and we stretched ourselves upon deck, hard by the windlass. | ID | ID DF | 3,037,219 |
``There might have been an initial clean up by volunteers but the grass hasn't been cut and the insides of the houses - nothing's been done by the rental parties, they've moved on and the rats have moved in.'' He said there had been "a whole stack" of complaints. "The flood was in the middle of summer -- good breeding season for the rats and they've obviously taken over," he said. "It's not the rat city of the world but it's a real problem -- we're committed to ensuring it doesn't get any worse." Cr Tully said the council-deployed pest control forces would combat the problem. "Fox-terriers are excellent for detecting and chasing rats, they will move from house to house," he said. "They're bloody big rats -- imagine a ringtail or brushtail possum... these are Goodna rats born and bred. "Rats are pretty resilient I'm told they can survive a flood quite easily and can move back -- they don't have a lot of natural predators." Cr Tully said only 1 in 20 flooded homes had been reoccupied and even his own family would not be moving back to their home. "We were with a company that paid us out our insurance but we won't be going back to that very home.'' "We'll be using the money to re-buy.

by pledging himself to support the plan, restrain himself from taking such steps as might appear to him most consistent with the public good. Mr. Govr. MORRIS said that he too had objections, but considering the present plan as the best that was to be attained, he should take it with all its faults. The majority had determined in its favor and by that determination he should abide. The moment this plan goes forth all other considerations will be laid aside, and the great question will be, shall there be a national Government or not? and this must take place or a general anarchy will be the alternative. He remarked that the signing in the form proposed related only to the fact that the [FN7] States present were unanimous. Mr. WILLIAMSON suggested that the signing should be confined to the letter accompanying the Constitution to Congress, which might perhaps do nearly as well, and would he found be [FN8] satisfactory to some members [FN9] who disliked the Constitution. For himself he did not think a better plan was to be expected and had no scruples against putting his name to it. Mr. HAMILTON expressed his anxiety that every member should sign. A few characters of consequence, by opposing or even refusing to sign the Constitution, might do infinite mischief by kindling the latent sparks which [FN10] lurk under an enthusiasm in favor of the Convention which may soon subside.

go to confession. Every time I see some workshop/talk/whatever on "The Sacrament of Reconciliation" which criticizes the proper way of confessing sins as required by the Council of Trent (number, kind, circumstances) and instructs people to "engage in an open dialogue with the priest to discuss what is going on in their moral life" and to "not focus so much on what they did wrong, but on what they did right" I become aggravated severely. With Catechesis like this, I feel very sorry for the traditional priests who help out with penitential services and have to patiently deal with such "confessions". I think this is very positive. I have heard Catholics who go through hard times whether due to employment issues or unemployment, family problems, health issues, or other concerns say often enough, "I don't know what I would have done without the Eucharist". And I quite agree however I have found in my own life that when going through major stressors or periods of intense difficulty for one reason or another that it was the grace found in the sacrament of confession that enabled me to keep going, and even overcome whatever hardship. It seems somewhat counterintuitive, to emphasize that sacrament when one can easily feel sorry for one's self and legitimately claim some victimhood status, but, mysteriously, even when one feels that all is against, that the cards are against, that there is no way out, and that one is a victim of horrible circumstance, that sacrament is | OP | OP RS | 44,476 |
that the basic sciences that we learn are very relevant in our profession, as how any medical professional should see it. however, just like in ANY medical professional... experience is key. your complete grasp of the fundementals will only make you a better clinician. im not talking about the guy that can memorize tons of notes to take a test...but the guy (or gal, not being sexist) that can take said information and make actual clinical judgements on an actual patient. i have run in to wayyyy too many "top of the class" folks that can not to this day explain to me why we use a luting cement as opposed to a resin bonded cement (or the other way around) for some fixed work and not others. or plenty of folks that dont get how epinephrine reversal works, yet passed pharm, phys, biochem, with no probs. i wouldn't care so much on the clinician that simply "passed the tests" to get the A. i want to know who the person that gave a damn to actually "learn" the material to be working on me in any context. if you seek out knowledge to better your self and your talents you'll never fall on the bottom of the pile. and if you do, well, you might be in the wrong profession. __________________ My future is blinding, I WILL SUCCEED!

any of these ideas anymore. They've happened.' It's not like that at all. Whatever record we make next is always a very natural evolution, but things do creep back in. 'Endless Blue' This starts laid-back and reflective, probably one of the most mature-sounding pieces The Horrors have ever written. Bass and cymbals eddy around hints of brass... and then, suddenly at 1.45 it turns into a thrashy, guitar piece that reminds me of something... an English Smashing Pumpkins maybe? Another hands-aloft chorus -- there's a definite element here of the Horrors appropriating laddish sounds for the fey. Then in 'Endless Blue', it's interesting. The guitar is pretty heavy on that one, almost thrashy. It felt like the most guitar-y thing you've done in a long time. JH: Yeah. Having our own studio, I discovered the fact that you can play more than ten guitar tracks on a record. And I was just experimenting. TF: There were lots of mics. JH: Yeah, especially because here that door opens up and there's a stairwell up there and I'd come in on a Sunday and the church next door would be going mental, and I wanted to record them a bit.

easy, actually, a friend showed me a while back. Coconut fat and chocolate, ratio of 1.5:1. Melt together gently in a bain-marie, when liquid, pour over icecream and it solidifies. My mother always refused to buy the magic squirty sauce when I was a child, and I only ever got to sample it at friends' houses. I am not sure that anything as an adult can ever live up to the excitement of that occasional childhood treat, but the homemade version is still pretty good. This is a good return to form for the Food Blog after the bacon sandwich fiasco. Aldi do a pretty good imitation of Ice Magic, even offering a mint flavour. It is terribly sickly, and I doubt whether there's any chocolate in it, but it's pure nostalgia in a sadly non-conical bottle. There's a Nigella recipe for a peanut butter, chocolate and golden syrup sauce that is so moreish I have had to stop myself making it.

They can call it what they want but in my book extreme couponing isn't saving money, it's stealing and all these folks who think they're getting such a good deal, all they're doing is taking it out of someone else's pockets...

They day after an Arsenal defeat is always raw, especially in cyber space, and so it was yesterday. The unfortunate thing was it seemed to be less about the actual defeat and more about some people's insistence of finding a scapegoat. A large number of Arsenal 'fans' seem to have settled on the idea that it was all Ramsey's fault and the abuse, which included death threats and people wishing upon him broken legs after the match finished, continued yesterday. It was sickening, I fear for Jack should he need some time when he returns from his long-term injury should he need any time to find his feet. What surprises me about some people's insistence on turning on Ramsey is the severity of his injury.

The Earl Marshal is a Great Officer of State with an important role in the organisation of coronations and other State ceremonies. He is a very senior figure, taking precedence after the Lord Great Chamberlain before all peers of his own degree other than Royal dukes. After the death of the Sovereign, he is responsible for arrangements for the funeral and the accession and coronation of the new monarch. The Earl Marshal and the Lord Great Chamberlain also officiate at the State Opening of Parliament. Since the sixteenth century, the Earl Marshal has also had authority over the kings of arms, heralds and pursuivants at the College of Arms, the body concerned with heraldry. The Earl Marshal's warrant has to be obtained before a grant of arms can be made. His day-to-day work involves supervising the work of the College of Arms. The office of Earl Marshal is an hereditary position occupied by the Duke of Norfolk. The current Earl Marshal is Edward William Fitzalan-Howard, 18th Duke of Norfolk. The post originates from the office of Marshal, one of the King's chief military officers during the Middle Ages. At that time he also became responsible for coronations and other State ceremonies. In the middle of the fourteenth century, the Marshal became one of the two joint judges of the Court of Chivalry. In 1386 the title changed from Marshal to Earl Marshal, which has been used ever since. Many of the Marshals from the twelfth century onwards were related to | IN | IN DT | 486,480 |
Government is working through the recommendations of the Expert Panel on Asylum Seekers report. The Government's adoption of the report will bring changes that impact on the settlement sector, including on settlement service provision. The recent announcement of an expanded annual Humanitarian program intake of 20,000 means an additional 6,250 places and represents a 45 per cent increase to this program. This is the biggest boost to Australia's refugee intake in 30 years and it means Australia is now the leading resettlement country in the world on a per capita basis. The increase in the program will allow a greater number of vulnerable individuals and families to begin a new life in Australia and an opportunity to rebuild their lives in peace and hope and contribute to our prosperity and success. This welcome decision also means Australia has the opportunity to reassert itself as the world leader in the provision of settlement services. While allocations are still being finalised, the Government is committed to appropriately funding services to support the settlement of all additional entrants. The Humanitarian Settlement Services (HSS) program will be a key source of initial support for the increase number of humanitarian entrants. The Department has established a HSS Reference Group and sub-groups to lead this work. We will also focus on ensuring administrative and reporting functions that support and evidence program delivery are appropriate and effective. The recommendations of the Richmond Review [released by Government on 13 December 2011] will provide valuable guidance in this work. | SP | SP FS | 3,320,992 |
need to be appreciative of John McCain's call for reform with Fannie Mae, with Freddie Mac, with the mortgage-lenders, too, who were starting to really kind of rear that head of abuse. And the colleagues in the Senate weren't going to go there with him. So we have John McCain to thank for at least warning people. And we also have John McCain to thank for bringing in a bipartisan effort people to the table so that we can start putting politics aside, even putting a campaign aside, and just do what's right to fix this economic problem that we are in.

The range of content is really subject to the rights that we've been able to do. So, we're working our way through the various channels and contracts and making sure that we've got clearances for rights on as many as possible. So, to start with there will be something like 21 channels, I think, in the next couple of weeks. And about 500 plus hours of catch-up. That will be added to. And we expect to launch another whole suite of channels around February which will include things like movie channels, drama channels, and more sport. And then progressively we will add to that as we can. And obviously we'll increase the catch-up library as well as we move forward.

Four Main Questions to Consider If you are planning to tackle a niche market, there are some questions you need to ask yourself to determine if your plan will be profitable. 1. Is the need there? Are there enough customers to support the business from startup to break-even? Is the risk worth the reward? 2. Can I economically reach my niche market with advertising? Advertising in mass media to niche groups would be a waste of money. The major of those exposed to your message are not your market. You might have to resort to a more targeted advertising method that could be more costly. 4. Location, location, location. It would be great if you had a health supplement store on one side and a fitness center on the other but chances are that's not going to happen. So where you locate can be critical to your business success. Many of your customers are going to have to go out of their way to get to you. Some Final Thoughts on Niche Markets Even if you are not starting a strictly niche business you can still make niche marketing work for you. Many | HI | HI | 3,162,333 |

I have heard my two masters talking about going to the desert, so I finally started paying attention. Apparently, we are going to be moving to Arizona, near Tucson, where it is hot and dry and much better for Don's asthma. He has been coughing a lot this summer and has been been talking a lot about "bad breathing days." Supposedly, there is not much pollen or mold in the desert. I'll bet that means that the scratching I do sometimes will improve there, also. Right now, I take an antihistamine called Zyrtec twice a day. It does not stop all the scratching, but makes it less.

Atlantic City is a legendary international destination hotspot. Known for the casinos, resorts, The Boardwalk, and the Miss America pageant, it is no wonder people from all over the world travel here. Atlantic City found its way out of the marshlands and is what it is today because of a simple gamble placed by Thomas Budd.

Now I don't know about you but I have yet to see a brokers office that meets or exceeds the overhead cost of operating a Tractor Trailer! We not only pay a outrageous cost on fuel ( on a average a Tractor Trailer gets @ 5.5 to 6. miles per gallon of diesel @ a cost of $4.20/gallon that is $.75 to $.82 per mile just in fuel costs) , highway tax, road use tax, repairs, leasing of/payment of our equipment, normal repairs, both Cargo & Truck/Trailer insurance ect. On a whole a driver that owns all his equipment, needs a average of $2.00 to $2.10/ mile to pay all costs, and have a paycheck for securing these loads, driving them to the destination in a timely manner , All the while living on the road, eating truckstop or fast food, being away from home and family! The option that would best serve the short haul industry [in my opinion] would be to define thresholds, 2 or more out of 7 days on the road would be reasonable. That threshold would remove landscapers, farmers, septic system businesses, carpenters and other typical small businesses using trucks over 10,000 lbs but less than 26,000 lbs from the costly burden of EBOR requirements.

The current local first aid procedures must be disseminated to all building occupants as part of any local induction procedure as well as periodically. This is the responsibility of the Head of Department. In buildings occupied by different unrelated groups, local first aid information must be updated and disseminated in a coordinated manner. 4.5 INTERACTION WITH EMERGENCY CONTROL ORGANISATION (EMERGENCY WARDENS) Nominated First Aid Officers should be prepared to render first aid whenever a building emergency occurs. It is preferable for NFAOs not to take on other warden roles that could conflict with this. Consideration should be given to providing NFAOs with easily portable (eg back-pack style) first aid kits to assist them in this role. When a building emergency occurs NFAOs should follow instructions, evacuate if required and report to the Chief Warden ready to treat injured people. Building emergency planning and post-emergency de-briefing should involve the building's NFAOs. 5.

In my neck of the woods, y'all is always plural, with the ambiguous exception where an individual is being addressed as a representative of others or an institution.

It's a good example of this because while the (non-upper-midwest) Americans hear "a-boot" when a Canadian says "about", the different pronunciation of those two, er, words ( boot and bout ) is quite distinct to a Canadian.

her, a child who needs her too much and a sister who wasn't what she seemed. Most of us can remember a defining moment in our lives. A split second when time stood still and our lives changed forever. For Lily Ormond, that moment came late one night when she answered a knock on the door and discovered that while she'd been smashing garlic and rosemary and watching the soaps, her sister Alison had drowned. Coming to terms with losing her only sibling and best friend was devastating, becoming a mother overnight to Ali's three-year-old son Charlie was mind-boggling, but discovering that her identical twin had been leading a secret life for years was almost Lily's undoing... And so begins a journey linked with four men who'd been part of a life she hadn't even known existed. A journey that forces Lily to come to terms with a father who'd never really cared for her, a child who needs her too much and a sister who wasn't what she seemed.

10/09/2012 Technical Analysis: How To Use The Relative Strength Index (RSI) The RSI is a momentum indicator measuring the internal strength of a security. On a daily chart the RSI 14 gives a reading for the last 14 days. Sideways market: use the RSI to identify tops and bottoms. The RSI 14 usually tops above 70 and bottoms below 30. Overbought/oversold levels may vary depending on the security. Check on the chart to see where the RSI topped or bottomed in the past. The above chart shows the RSI 14 peaking above 60 and bottoming below 40. RSI divergence Trending market: use the RSI to identify divergences between prices and the RSI. Divergences are a warning of a probable trend reversal. A divergence between prices and the RSI is noticeable on the above chart. Between a and b the price is higher but the RSI is lower (bearish divergence). | HI | HI HT | 3,066,058 |

Imagine a situation without this TOS, where an artist puts up a file they own and shares it so that some business associates can access it. The artist does not cover their rights adequately and the business plans go bad, and their content is stolen by one of those said business associates. Because the artist hasn't covered their rights properly, they have no recourse to recover losses from the bad business associates, however they consider trying to recover their losses instead from Dropbox, who hosted the files during the transaction. With this TOC, Dropbox is non-liable for the user's losses, but without this TOC, Dropbox would be vulnerable to a potentially huge pay out. Dropbox can clearly not run their business with that risk, hence the TOC. There are many other possible scenarios of liability that Dropbox would be vulnerable to without these TOC. (e.g. illegal file sharing). Thus Dropbox simply runs a line of needing to keep customers, but protect themselves from the risks associated with the service they provide. Hence the TOC terms are very important both for customer impressions and limitation of liability in case of problems.

Measure and Choose- When you first begin organizing and maximizing the space in your garden sheds, measure the space you have and write down those measurements on a note card. Then, stick this card in your purse or wallet and make sure you have it with you at all times. Then, when you see the perfect set of plastic bins on sale, make sure they fit within the measurements. There is nothing worse than getting home and finding out you wasted all of your money because your bins won't fit on your shelves. If you want to maximize the space in your sheds so you don't waste valuable time, effort, and money, make sure you consider these simple solutions.

first to achieve their plan to dominate nature. There were many Democrats as committed as Republicans to the life of children affected by a disability, just as Republicans are not all indifferent to the plight of endangered species, to the environment, and to the quality of the air they breathe. The symmetrical tableau that we are painting thus has its limitations. It is, all the same, sufficiently close to reality that we may use it to see in relief the element common to the two positions: excessiveness, lack of moderation. Excessiveness should be the simplest thing to understand and define. It is everywhere, around us and in us: the excessiveness of the athlete who imperils his body?s integrity in order to break a record; the excessiveness of factory farming that hastens the erosion and the slow death of the humus, the organic constituent of soil, in the service of a temporary increase in production; the excessiveness of the driver whose car consumes ten times more energy than necessary given what it is used for, etc. Always more, always faster! This is the excessiveness of the PLUS sign. But there is also excessiveness on the MINUS side. Always fewer constraints, fewer responsibilities, fewer obligations. And always, no matter what the sign, excessiveness sweeps away the obstacles that it encounters. This is why individual choice, independent of all natural or divine law, is its ally.

mind when thinking about immigrants. Members of this category may or may not be foreign nationals, and, depending on their parents' status, may or may not be subject to Immigration Control, so under some definitions, some would qualify as immigrants. But by the birthplace criterion or the "movement" criterion used in official net-migration statistics, UK-born children of immigrants do not themselves qualify as immigrants. 2.2 Perceptions: Length of stay By the international definition of migration -- used by the UK government in official statistics on immigration, emigration, and net-migration -- anyone who moves across national boundaries for at least one year is considered a "long-term international migrant." Less than one-third of the public in Britian, however, say that they normally are thinking about temporary migrants when thinking about "immigrants." Members of the public appear more likely to think of permanent immigrants rather than temporary ones when thinking about immigrants, as Figure 3 shows. A majority (62%) said that they normally thought about people coming to stay in Britain permanently, while the temporary migration categories were each chosen by 30% or fewer. There was no statistically significant difference in perceptions of people staying for between one and five years, and of people staying for more than five years but not permanently. Responses fell to 15% for people staying less than one year.

It's being discussed in our homes, our schools, our offices, the halls of Congress ... okay, maybe not the halls of Congress.

missionaries. Methods of evangelism was just as varied, from synagogue preaching to open air evangelism, prophecy, personal testimonies, home evangelism, one-on-one, visitations, and literature. However, large public gatherings was not a method they employed. That was difficult to do in the midst of persecution, and such gatherings were illegal in the Roman Empire. Yet, in view of today's result of "nominal Christiandom," perhaps such large public gatherings is not such a good idea. I was quite surprised to read about the large role exorcisms, prophecy, and miracles played in the early church. I disagree with Green's definition of "prophecy ," and he seems to indicate that there was revelatory prophecy in the early church even after the canon is closed! Green also comments that such miracles and exorcisms were prevalent in early church evangelism much as they are practiced in the mission field today, where there is no scripture in the native language. Green seems to imply that where there is no inscripturated Word present, God continues to reveal himself by supernatural, revelatory means. The greatest difference between early Christian evangelism and today is not of methods but in the quality of Christianity, not due to the gospel, but due to the Christians who bear the gospel. Today, we see evangelism as an optional activity of the Christian, a special program of the church or para-church. It is meant for those who are "called" to such evangelical ministry, or for those who are already positioned as ministers, pastors, missionaries, elders, | IP | IP DS | 113,567 |

My fiddle teacher tells me of the autistic student he has who does one tune, and only one tune, for 6 to 9 months at a time.

I tend to learn only one new tune a week, but if you think about it, over time that adds up. I don't get bored because I'm always playing the other tunes I learned before. If I take only a few days to learn a fiddle tune, I can get it memorized, but it won't stick. Really, there's no huge rush. Kenny Hall says in an interview that he learned a new tune every two weeks. Over fifty years, he had more than 1000 tunes under his belt. That interview was pretty dated though, who knows how many songs he knows by now.

The importance of a long range, continuous forecast process If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed . Thanks for visiting! I have had some recent discussions with several colleagues about forecasting versus budgeted forecasting in recent weeks, regarding an article posted on the Supply Chain Expert Community titled: Forecasting Mistake #1 -- Forecasting to the Wall . In summary, the author is stating a common problem when it comes to forecasting: the forecast is seen primarily as a budgeting and financial tool, so it is not maintained and utilized to its full potential throughout the year to anticipate customer demand and reduce lead times and inventory. If a budget forecast is prepared for the current year, when the year is half over, we only have visibility for the next 6 months. This leaves all periods outside this window as a large unknown in the demand space, which forces the supply chain to 'guess' at future requirements. This forces companies to then rely on increased safety stock buffer points to reduce lead times to customers, or to avoid missed delivery dates, a key customer metric. All this adds cost or reduces customer satisfaction, leading to a deteriorating competitive position and a reduced bottom line. The question is, how can this situation be improved? The answer is: forecasting should be viewed as an important tool in meeting corporate goals for growth and profitability, not just as a budget exercise.

[ OFFICIAL REPORT, 10th November, 1947; Vol. 444, c. 151. ] We take this view of the constitutional position, that the Government is made and kept in office by the House of Commons. The moment a Government loses the confidence of the House of Commons, not necessarily to the extent of suffering defeat in the Lobbies, but in such a striking way as to make the loss of confidence quite evident and palpable, the House of Commons has the right to expect that that Government will resign and can, of course, remove it from office. It removed in that way the Chamberlain Government in 1939 -- That really does not quite do justice to Mr. Chamberlain, because the reason why he resigned was not because of any defeat in the House of Commons or that he could not gather support to continue, but because he felt that nothing short of a National Government could save the country. The right hon. Gentleman was in the negotiations but I have been told that there was an effort to restore Mr. Chamberlain to office after that vote, before the right hon. Gentleman formed his Government. That does not disprove what I am saying. That was in wartime. In normal times when a Prime Minister finds himself in that position, that his Government has lost the confidence of this House, he has an alternative before him: either he can recommend the King to send for someone else, or he can appeal from the decision | SP | SP IT | 466,997 |
Magic happens outside the comfort zone It's not easy to pause a career on the upswing in order to gain new skills. It's a risk. But one I deemed worth taking. Life is both easier and more difficult in the Arabian Gulf than in the West. Salaries are higher; titles grander; competition less. But creativity is also less, as well as digital expertise -- and these are the two things that inspire me the most and drive my career forward. I worked hard in Saudi Arabia to create big ideas in a conservative market, to stay on the cutting edge in a place that always seemed a little far away from the buzzing hubs of the advertising world. But I worked so hard that I ended up as a Regional Creative Director, managing two offices in two cities, adding these countries on the creative map globally, learning a lot about management and the creative process along the way. My next step was Dubai, where there was more creativity and more competition but few opportunities for me to take my craft to the next level. Because suddenly, almost overnight, I found the entire industry going digital and only a few digital experts leading the way. I knew I needed to be one of them.

per the 4/27 update, Dawood's adult nephew Ali Ahmad/Toor Jan, as well] are some of the few, key eyewitnesses to the attack in Balandi/Najiban at the Dawood Home that night. given that [In the nearby village of Balandi/Najiban,] no one (save possibly one adult sister -- see Comment 4 below) was spared in the neighboring home of Mohammad Wazir, where all 11 were reported killed. As Yalda Hakim -- who was born in Afghanistan and speaks the languages -- explained in a radio interview after her 3/27 Dateline report, it is rare for Afghan women and children to be put forward in public to the extent that she and her cameraman were granted access to Dawood's widow and children [and to the two children (of the Naim and Jan families?) at the hospital, whose mothers - if not wounded or killed - are never on camera]. No doubt for similar reasons, Dawood's brother Baran Akhon was reluctant at first to let a GlobalPost.com reporter interview Dawood's widow directly -- although you'd never know that was the reason from GlobalPost's insensitive, condescending article about their interviews with Baran Akhon and Dawood's widow (see below). So we owe a debt of gratitude to Yalda Hakim and colleagues, and to the survivors themselves, for the existence of important eyewitness accounts from Mohammad Dawood's widow, and from her children, including indirectly through their uncle, Dawood's brother Baran Akhon .

your new Partner is. There is no reason why he cannot apply to adopt her although note that the biological father will need to consent unless the court dispenses with the requirement. Do you fear that if you start adoption proceedings, he will want to have contact with your daughter? I suspect this is the case. If that were to happen, you will have the opportunity of opposing the application and giving your reasons why contact would be contrary to your daughter's best interests. The court will need to review the evidence and decide on what is best for your daughter. Q. I am expecting to become a father in May 2012. after a breakdown in relationship with my partner we are no longer together, this has been the case sinse shortly after we found out. I have kept in contact and have tried to be as supportive as possible with no joy.

high sound quality of an audio product unless you move up, or right after you switch from a lower-tier to a higher-tier product, it's the same reason why Beats are so successful. Plus who are you to make sweeping generalisations about people on this site? Perhaps they have had other audio equipment, I've got perfect pitch myself from 8 years of piano. What audio gear have you had apart from CX300s, CX150s, and a M4? IEMs can never produce the same audio quality as proper headphones due to the size limitation, definitely not within the same price range at least. Also in response to the "sweeping generalisations", it can be made due to the "deals" being posted, the only decent one would have been the Adidas Sennheiser HD25s (personally have not heard from a HD25 before but if you want to take HeadFi's recommendations without any doubt, then it's in top 10 or so). For those interested, from the MP4 Nation's comments on facebook, there seems to be a 30 day refund policy if you're not happy with them (the M4s, or this deal's M5s).

a woman and shouldn't really speak about what I women should and shouldn't think. However, I am confident in stating that SR is sexist. I was using it as an analogy to SR in an attempt to show how such language is inherently insulting towards men. I also view it as insulting towards women as it paints women as being irrationally paranoid. However, as I am not a woman I can't really comment on that. If you believe I am wrong, please, enlighten me. I am genuine in this request. The main reason I discuss things on the internet is to learn what I don't know and to try to correct my ignorance.

some comments, one should see a reduction in weight--yet nothing has left the box. Ridiculous on the face of it. It depends completely on how lucky the driver is. We can calculate how much his luck is running in or running out, by counting how many rabbits feet, four-leaf clovers, and horse shoes he is carrying. Assuming that one horse shoe weighs about 1kg, an amputated appendage of rabbit weighs about 0.1 kg, and a four-leaf clover weighs about 0.001 kg, his best investment would be to look around for the closest clover patch and stock up on mostly those, before heading over the bridge. The horse shoes should be thrown as far as possible over the bridge to the other side, before crossing after them. This assumes, of course, that he crosses his fingers, which would not actually add any appreciable mass to his cargo, yet would boost his fortune to a moderate degree, nevertheless. Thank goodness he is driving, so he doesn't have to worry about stepping on cracks! (Hey!

Relieving the Effects of Tension and Toning Muscles with Massage This article is about the benefits of massage therapy. In broad terms, massage means pressing or kneading muscles. When being done gently, massage can be soothing. When being done forcefully, massage can have a stimulating effect because it quickens the blood flow and lymph. Therefore, massage can be useful for both relieving the effects of tension and to tone muscles. Massage can also induce a feeling of well-being that can support weight control and fitness in general. Massage is often used by therapist to relieve the pain of rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, sprains, and stiffness. It is also often used as a method to maintain muscle tone in cases like muscle wasting and paralysis. However, this kind of massage should be undertaken only by a doctor's advice, and be done only by a professional masseur. Usual or general massage can be really useful in relieving tension. Tension involves tautness, and that is why the effects can often be recognized easily. The flesh is more resistant than it should be to fingers pressure and there might be small lumps of knotted tissue below the surface. Massage can help to relax those muscles, and give a positive psychological effect at the same time. People who are overweight can benefit from massage. Massage can help our posture by firming up our muscles. Massage is often mentioned in health tips, because it is very simple to do, and the benefits are great.

is all fact, and you have used the word 'opinion' -- Dr Burgess : You were talking about the history of the tobacco industry over many decades. I have been with the fund for a year. We have had a policy since February. Let us be clear about it. I think what you are talking about is the role of exclusions. How do exclusions work in the fund? What is the approach of the fund when it comes to exclusions? As you aware, there are opinions on lots of industries and lots of issues out there in the community. So we have to be very careful in having a very clearly defined exclusions process. We have discussed this before. We look for a diversified portfolio. We ensure that we are focused on our mandate. We ensure that we allow for risk. We ensure -- and this is an important point -- that there is no breaking of Australian laws or conventions or treaties. And then we ensure that they follow our ESG policies. I think the most important issue is to have that framework to ensure that you have a clearly defined approach to the way that you look at exclusions in a portfolio Senator DI NATALE: So rather than perhaps documenting the known and established track record of the tobacco industry, let us look at some of the companies that the Future Found is currently invested in.

Could not give a rat's arse about media perception, it's just the feel I get about our long-term prospects.

I voted for Rodgers. I didn't want Kenny to be sacked, but reasoned that Rodgers was the best option, and I still believe that now.

the questions, around the value of tobacco, was a fairly straightforward one; I would have thought that you could provide me with that response within that 30-day period. For future reference can I just point to that standing order that says you have 30 days to reply? Mr Burgess : Sure. Senator DI NATALE: The other inconsistency -- and I just wondered if you had a response -- is that I asked you a question in May about the value of the holdings, but you provided me with an answer that was valid as of February. Is there any reason that you did not provide me with the current value, as at the time that I asked the question? Is there any reason for providing me with the answer up until the February period? Mr Burgess : Absolutely not. We are very keen to be transparent on this. I think that we just assumed that the question was around the February period, to be honest. Senator DI NATALE: Okay. I just wanted to know that. I want to go to the ESG issue and the question of the ESG policy. As the fund applies it, it emphasises continued engagement with companies through voting rights rather than through direct exclusions. Again, I want to ask you a question that I have asked previously, and that is whether you have seen any improvement in any of the tobacco companies that you have invested in as a result of your ESG approach?

north Lebanon mountains and environs within the last ten or fifteen years of Akhenaten's reign, the main period of the Amarna letters that evidence this feat. In this they made full use of Apiru fighting men and auxiliaries, to expand their control over neighbouring towns, not least profitable trading ports on the Mediterranean coast. Geopolitically this represented a much more ambitious achievement on the ground than the modest initial Hebrew occupation of the Canaanite upland area from Hebron to Jericho/Ai (bypassing Jerusalem) up via Shiloh to Shechem and Tirzah. Thus the territorial achievement of Joshua and the elders (in maybe ten/fifteen years?) was certainly much less than that of Abdi-ashirta and Aziru - who also faced stiff opposition from their contemporaries, and had to cope with direct threats from Egypt and the Hittite power, as the Amarna letters and contemporary archives show. Therefore there are no grounds whatsoever for denying reality or factuality to the Joshua narratives in terms of what they actually represent on the ground, when the rhetorical component is left aside" (On the Reliability of the Old Testament, K.A.

released again in a cyclic process in the wintertime. NARRATOR: Keeling's sensitive measurements had picked up the Earth's respiration. Every spring, plants bloomed, sucking carbon dioxide out of the air. Every fall, CO2 was released back into the air as the plants decayed. But Keeling noticed that year by year, the total concentration of CO2 increased. Superimposed on the annual cycle was a rising curve. Each year, more CO2 was inhaled and exhaled by the biosphere. Over 40 years, the concentrations rose from 330 parts per million to almost 370 parts per million. The Keeling curve appeared to prove what many had suspected, that humans were changing the composition of the atmosphere. But why should adding an invisible, non-toxic gas be cause for concern? Compared to the major atmospheric gases - oxygen and nitrogen - the amount of CO2 is minuscule, but through an accident of physics - the greenhouse effect -its consequences are significant. Perhaps the most dramatic example of the greenhouse effect is the Earth itself. But for this effect, the Earth would be frigidly cold. Of the energy coming from the sun, about half of the light gets scattered and absorbed before it reaches the surface. The rest is radiated back as heat or infrared radiation. In the absence of a greenhouse effect, this heat energy would escape back into space, leaving the Earth with an average temperature of zero degrees Fahrenheit. All water would freeze.

one to be a real page turner but unless I'm mixing it up with another book the fact that the Heroine (Marissa) thinks she is pregnant when she obviously isn't and its just her naivety that makes her think so becomes quite annoying. Marissa (Heroine) is quite naive and there's nothing wrong with that I think its safe to say we've all been there and I don't have a problem with naive Heroine's or Heroes for that matter. I also understand the need to draw out certain matters such as the "big secret" id est something one character is not telling another but sometimes one of them gets carried in my opinion to far.
