I've wondered about that one most of my life, Charlie. I always thought a cape was a narrow spit of land that stuck out into an ocean. What the heck's one doing in Missouri , of all places? -Joe Offer- I've always assumed, looking at a map, that the "Cape" of Cape Girardeau has to do with the shape of the land as the Mississippi River curls around it. Or perhaps a sandbar. Or perhaps these geographical items existed at the time in history when the place got its name, but Ol' Man River just keeps rollin' along and changin' the landscape. Yes, Charlie, if ya look at the map there's a "swelling" where the river bends westward and then back eastward at the town site of Cape Girardeau. ie. "a cape" of sorts. It's only about 15 miles north (as the crow flies) of Cairo, Illinois where the Ohio River joins the Mississippi down in that part of S. Illinois called EGYPT. That's close to NEW MADRID, Mo. where in 1812 the N.M.fault "quaked" and the Mississippi ran backwards for 3 weeks---Reelfoot Lake was formed---entire forests were leveled---and this is no tall tale.

you do that interferes with your connection to your intuition Patterns of relating that no longer serve you and others Any pattern of behavior that consistently tears you down, bites you in the butt, or blows up in your face When you read these considerations, some ideas may immediately jump to mind of things you want to consider cutting from your future to-do list. Listen to these impulses. Don't be surprised if you feel scared or anxious about making changes. Change makes many people anxious. But if you are not willing to gradually change, then you can't gradually grow. Once you have determined the kind of changes you need and want to make, go about making the changes gradually and with sensitivity to others. Remember that you can't make others feel good about your decisions to change. You can only commit to change, follow through on it, and communicate as clearly and kindly as you can. You might go for years without making changes. You might be the picture of perfect consistency. And you will be surprised to hear me say that there is something seriously wrong with perfect consistency. Because life wants to evolve. And if you are not evolving with life, then you may be fighting life. So get brave. And face the music of change, if you feel have changes to face. Change will come gently, if you let it.

For first-time mothers, labour pains are a frightening prospect. Photograph: Robert Nystrom/Getty Images It's like a ghost which haunts every first pregnancy , making more frequent appearances as the due date approaches. Labour. The birth. More specifically, the pain. The pain of which so much is written and spoken. I think I was typical of most first-time mothers in being not so much scared of childbirth , as apprehensive about how I was going to handle it. In the last few months of my pregnancy I made sure I researched the various pain-relieving options available. For women who want to feel nothing or as close to nothing as possible, an epidural is the only real option. A small tube is inserted into your back and a local anaesthetic is delivered to the nerves that carry pain messages from the womb to the brain. It's a powerful pain reliever but can prolong childbirth, as you won't feel the contractions and will have to rely on your midwife to tell you when and how hard to push. It's also more likely to lead to interventions such as the use of forceps or a suction device for the same reason. 2. Injections Another option is an intramuscular injection of a painkilling drug such as pethidine or diamorphine. These reduce the pain of the contractions and help you to relax which, in turn, helps to lessen the pain. The downsides are that they can make you feel a little sleepy or sick and, if | HI | HI HT | 339,213 |
'experience' are more negative. They suggest that this discrepancy between research and experience is probably due to errors in research design. They raise number of interesting issues related to sampling procedures in some research studies and state that: In the selection of the gifted group, the question must be asked whether referral of students by parents or teachers for gifted programmes may be influenced by the students' social adjustment. Would a child who is not well adjusted and not well adapted to the school setting, who is not achieving, not popular with teachers, be in the gifted programme? (McCallister, Nash & Meckstroth, 1996,p.274) The point they are trying to make is that the probability of finding gifted children who are not socially competent in some of these samples is reduced. It could be argued that many samples might be biased and this may influence the perceptions of educators and parents in believing gifted children are better adjusted. 2.Gifted Children are More at Risk for Adjustment Problems The second view is that gifted children are 'more' at risk for adjustment problems than their non-gifted peers; that giftedness increases a child's vulnerability to adjustment difficulties. Supporters of this view believe that gifted children are more sensitive to interpersonal conflicts and experience greater degrees of alienation and stress than do their peers, as a result of their cognitive capacities (Neihart, 1999). A significant number of researchers support this view, including Hollingworth (1942), Janos and Robinson (1985), Grossberg and Cornell (1988), Roedell (1986), Silverman | IN | IN RA | 1,754,257 |
Shake These Blues" is just awesome. Check out not only the Dylan cover here ("What Was It You Wanted," from OH MERCY), but the back cover of HAPPIER BLUE, with Chris sitting on a porch with big sneakers, just like Bob on the back of UNDER THE RED SKY. He's just cracking up. Smither is one of the most eloquent and intelligent performers on the solo circuit. With only guitar, voice and foot tapping rhythm section he squeezes more emotion and wisdom and world weary irony out of a song than anyone I know. He is a great interpreter but his originals are the best tracks here - Link of Chain, 'Deed I Do, Can't Shake these Blues and the fantastic The Ride. No other contemporary songwriter pens a better, cleverer lyric and very few engage the listener so well. Best seen live but this CD and "Small Revelations" are priceless souvenirs. Heard Chris Smither live at Downpatrick Folk Club - one of the best live concerts i've ever been to. The man is a genius with lyrics, subtle, sophisticated, clever, funny, honest, and a world weary voice that is perfect for the material. Brilliant guitar picking style. This album is full of classics - the original "Link of Chain", "Deed I Do", "Can't Shake These Blues" and utterly fantastic "I Am The Ride" plus lovely cover of Dylan's "What Was It You Wanted". He creates a wonderful mood (any time of the day). Accept no substitutes! | IP | IP DS | 617,314 |
the record, it feels more personal. Plus I've got this weird reverb in my cellar because there are pipes going all round it and the drums kind of clang off the pipes. It's a cellar that I share with the rest of the tenants. And they don't seem to mind you doing that? They do actually... they really mind. They're fucking... they're incredibly annoying. Yeah, they do mind. But I mind being able to record music as well, so it's kind of balanced. I read a really interesting quote from you in an interview where you were talking about the idea of IDM. I think the quote was that a lot of "intelligent" dance music was actually "clever" dance music. I was wondering if you could expand on that a bit. I'm glad you brought that up, because most people just say to me "so, you write IDM... how's your IDM album?" and it's like "what, my IDM album that starts with a guitar track and has got Martina Topley-Bird and solo piano tracks and not a single techno beat on the whole album? Do you mean that IDM album?" I don't really know what IDM is and it's an incredibly snooty, elitist... it just seems like this elitist fraternity of male dysfunctional opinion that just sort of floats around suddenly becomes part of musical history.

Book Description Proposing that people lived (and live) in "emotional communities"-each having its own particular norms of emotional valuation and expression-Barbara H. Rosenwein here discusses some instances from the Early Middle Ages. Drawing on extensive microhistorical research, as well as cognitive and social constructionist theories of the emotions, Rosenwein shows that different emotional communities coexisted, that some were dominant at times, and that religious beliefs affected emotional styles even as those styles helped shape religious expression.This highly original book is both a study of emotional discourse in the Early Middle Ages and a contribution to the debates among historians and social scientists about the nature of human emotions. Rosenwein explores the character of emotional communities as discovered in several case studies: the funerary inscriptions of three different Gallic cities; the writings of Pope Gregory the Great; the affective world of two friends, Gregory of Tours and Venantius Fortunatus; the Neustrian court of Clothar II and his heirs; and finally the tumultuous period of the late seventh century. In this essay, the author presents a new way to consider the history of emotions, inviting others to continue and advance the inquiry.For medievalists, early modernists, and historians of the modern world, the book will | IP | IP DS | 733,128 |

Unguardedly, Wilkins showed Franklin's photos to Crick and Watson without her permission. Max Perutz, another Cambridge-based scientist, also passed the model-builders a confidential report, including Franklin's detailed notes and X-ray photographs, which he had received as part of his Medical Research Council duties evaluating the King's unit. Rosalind Franklin remained virtually unknown outside her immediate circles until 1968 when Watson published The Double Helix , his brilliant, tactless and exciting personal account of the discovery. In it, she is the terrible Rosy, the bad-tempered bluestocking who hoarded her data and might have been pretty if she had taken off her glasses and done something interesting with her hair. She looked quite different to the eminent physics professor J.D. Bernal, who brought her to Birkbeck in the spring and oversaw her five happy and productive years there. He described her in Nature: 'As a scientist. Miss Franklin was distinguished by extreme clarity and perfection in everything she undertook Her photographs are among the most beautiful X-ray photographs of any substance ever taken.' But Bernal's words were elegiac. Rosalind Franklin's life was cut short by ovarian cancer in 1958 when she was thirty-seven - four years before Watson, Crick and Wilkins won the Nobel prize for their DNA discovery and a decade before she was caricatured in a book to which, alone of the principals portrayed, she was unable to answer back.

Children need to be safe and supported Recently, commentators have linked the breakdown of the traditional family to a variety of society's ills, from teenage binge drinking to the London riots. This month we've had Child Protection Week, followed by Foster Care Week -- alerting us to the fact that many children are casualties of families that can't cope. Research tells us that how we interact with children during the first few years of their lives can determine how they learn and behave for the rest of their lives. Studies show that neglect, stress and trauma in early life can have long-lasting and severe effects on children throughout their lives. With the right support, children can recover from early life trauma, but it becomes difficult if they continue to be exposed to a distressing home life. Advertisement There is strong evidence that children who feel a secure attachment to a sensitive and responsive adult early in life relate better with their peers, have fewer behavioral problems and are more able to cope with the challenges life throws at them. With the modern family taking an increasing range of shapes and sizes it's important to acknowledge that this secure attachment children need in early life doesn't just take one form. Children can get the love and nurturing they need from a single parent, or a same-sex couple or a stepparent.

or a privilege, it is rather a business arrangement. In Wisconsin's case an exploited one. The employer promises to compensate an employee an agreed upon amount and/or benefits for a defined job. Unions are simply parasitical to this process as most states do have labor laws. Health care is also not a right, yet liberals and progressives go prancing around claiming it is . . . My favorite analogy to health care not being a right is picking any trained profession, let's say -- a plumber -- who must be compensated for their time and effort. Nobody is going to run around holding a sign up that says -- "Good Plumbing is a right !" -- are they ? So, why hold up signs that say Health Care is a right ? Last time I checked, doctors, nurses and staff aren't free . . . . Collective bargaining is just a union tactic to squeeze more money out of the taxpayer thru politicians that they backed with their dues.

Essentially, RISCOS Ltd would take the RISC OS source at a suitable point of development, and create a tested, marketed, supported, saleable product from it; similar to Linux vendors releasing distributions, but within a framework tailored to the particular realities of the RISC OS market. RISCOS Ltd would benefit: 1) They get to move away from the expensive, risky and stressful ball-ache of low-level OS development. 2) The balance sheet would look healthier because they'd be able to sell new versions of an actual product to a more confident and happier customer base, and at greatly reduced cost to bring to market. 3) There's nothing to stop them bundling their own value added closed-source apps and utilities with their releases of RISC OS to make it an even more attractive prospect for end users.

Moving Out Before You Sell By moving out of your home before you sell it, you can give yourself a head start on your new life, as well as make it a lot easier to sell your home for a better price. The following is a brief look at why moving out before you sell can make such a big difference. Get the best price Sometimes it works out perfectly that you find a new place to live at the same time that you are able to sell your old one, but if not, it is important not to try and rush the sale of your house, because panic selling will always detrimentally affect your sale price. If you can afford to do it, take your time getting a good price for your home -- even if it means moving into your new place before the old one has sold. This will require that you have a significant amount of financial backing, but it will also mean you are likely to get a far better price on the sale of your home. Easier to show your home Sometimes it can be hard for house-hunters to get a good idea of a home when it is full of someone else's belongings, so by moving out before you sell you will be making it a whole lot easier for those potential buyers to get a good look at your awesome place.

The episode, titled 'Will we survive first contact?', tackles topics ranging from the creative ways scientists are honing their search for extraterrestrial life to the possibility that aliens might prove to be warriors or ruthless predators. Whether friend or foe, Freeman is convinced that extraterrestrial life does exist. Mars Attacks: Freeman has warned extraterrestrial life may be unfriendly when we first meet each other 'The question of if we're alone only occurs to you every now and then, when you look up and say, "Oh goodness, this can't be all there is,"' he said. 'If you are going to try to logically answer the question of if we're alone in the universe, the answer is, "We can't be."' Of course, before we meet any aliens, it's likely that we'll first communicate with them from a distance, as the show explores. How can we possibly tell which signals of the never-ending stream of signals from deep space are intergalactic gibberish and which are legitimate evidence of alien life? In the episode a Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) scientist, Dr. Laurance R. Doyle, explains how a slope of a line representing the frequency of individual signals within a stream of signals indicates whether the stream contains 'linguistic or knowledge content.'

To view my colleagues click here People who can help in Christchurch Related Topics How to subdivide your property Introduction "Subdividing" is where land is divided and separate legal title is established for each of the new sections that are created. A separate title is established by the District Land Registrar issuing a certificate of title (in the Land Titles Office at Land Information New Zealand (LINZ)), after receiving an application and a subdivision plan. There are various reasons why you might want to subdivide your property. It may be that your residential section is now too big for your needs, or you may own a farm that is capable of being subdivided into lifestyle blocks. Your section may have been re-zoned, so that you are now permitted to subdivide. The subdivision of land is controlled and restricted by a number of Acts, the most important of which is the RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1991. This Act brought planning and subdivision controls under one system. The effect of the Act is to prohibit all subdivisions unless they're specifically allowed by a rule in a District Plan or by a resource consent. What is the procedure for subdividing? If you're considering subdividing your property, you'll need to consult a lawyer who is experienced in this field to examine, first, whether subdivision is permitted and, | HI | HI HT | 1,757,148 |

monitor in front of a person. The laptop usage in the bed, in the garden, on the train and in other possible and impossible places is not covered here. Arm positions on the table The first rule computer users, especially at home, usually skip is that the arms should be relaxed when typing on the keyboard or working with the mouse. That is because if they are always strained, a person gets tired very quickly and in no position to use the computer for a long time. To have arms relaxed, they should lie on the table, as simple as that. The table height should be sufficient for that and the most important thing is that the table depth should also be sufficient. It needs to accommodate a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse and computer user's arms. If necessary (and it is necessary most of the times) a piece of paper or a notebook could lie between a user and a keyboard on the table in order for a user to make some written notes. Many home computer tables are very narrow and have a special shelf for a keyboard, which is extended from below the main table's surface, which a monitor usually stands on. Arms in this case are just going to hover in the air when using keyboard or mouse -- so it's a huge mistake to buy this sort of tables.

Following my note above, I have spoken to him again and now for some reason I am feeling angry towards him. He seems to feel we can just go back to being friends and that our families can go on meeting up as usual! He is sorry it has had to end and will miss it but it can not start up again. Worse thing is I found myself almost begging him to have me back! How low can I get, not only being a crap friend but also not respecting myself! I mean I still love him so much and would have him back in a shot, but to beg!

The full story... Ex-minister backs bailout for Spain ELEANOR HALL: Chaos has been spreading across Europe over the last 24 hours, with millions of people in several countries taking to the streets to vent their anger over austerity measures. Hundreds of flights across the continent have been cancelled; car factories and ports are at a standstill; and rail services have been disrupted, as part of a co-ordinated general strike. More than 70 people have been arrested so far in the protest action in Spain and police have fired rubber bullets at protesters in central Madrid. But while the Spanish government is imposing salary cuts and tax hikes, so far it's resisted taking out a bailout. Alejandro Inurrieta is a minister or was a minister in the previous socialist government and he says that is a mistake. He spoke in Madrid to our Europe correspondent Mary Gearin. ALEJANDRO INURRIETA: Well, my opinion is that Spain should accept money from the UN and the International Money Fund because we need right now a lot of money to repay our debt, our huge debt especially private debate not public debt. The problem is that because of the policy, European policy especially German policy we are suffering in Spain. The Spanish society suffering probably the worst crisis, social and economic crisis since probably the finish of the civil war.

Electromagnetic images may be seen but these are not the material past they are just images. There is aft space that has been passed through and afore space that has not been passed through, there is no material past or future to visit.Understanding this there are no time travel paradoxes. Imagination of the future is a creative function of the brain allowing anticipation and preparation.The present is actually a patchwork made from input that has taken various lengths of time to arrive and is pieced together by the mind to form experience of a present moment.Every observer experiences a different present moment because the patchwork of inputs and processing is different. Since past, uniform present and future are imaginary so is the time line along which they are imagined. Subjective time is related to observation of change in 3D space and assumption of simultaneous change in time, in one direction, that is regular and continuous.It is not related to objective reality except in that there is continuous afore-ward change in 4th dimensional position i.e. loss of Universal potential energy of all macroscopic objects. Although it is not absolutely uniform because motion in 3D space also affects 4th dimensional position.

applying for a position in a new country it's a good idea to check out the dress code before you go. Knowing what you will need to wear if you get the position is a good way to show you've researched and to ensure you look like you could fit in. It may be beneficial to bring your official documentation and certifications with you. Once you've covered your credentials, show that you're interested in the country. If you really want to be there, let your enthusiasm carry over to your interview. It will probably be well received. Don't give mono-syllabic responses; it shows a lack of enthusiasm. Also, try to learn as much of the local language as you can before you get there. It shows not only an interest in the country (which you have anyway, right?) but also a respect for the customs and traditions of the country and its people. Preparation is the key It's rather clich but true that, "failing to prepare is preparing to fail.__ Envision a set of questions your employer may ask you and get a set of answers ready. Possible interview questions to help you prepare: What levels do you prefer to teach? Do you prefer to teach children or adults? Do you prefer to use textbooks or your own materials?

Voters in Maine, Maryland and Washington state have approved same-sex marriage in local referendums on social issues. It is the first time gay marriage has been backed by popular vote despite 35 such polls elsewhere in the US. Gay marriage is permitted in six states, but those laws were passed by legislators or by courts. In other referendums, voters in Colorado and Washington voted to legalise recreational use of marijuana. In California, an attempt to abolish the death penalty was defeated. Meanwhile, Massachusetts voters struck down a measure that would have legalised physician-assisted suicide for terminally ill patients. Gay m arriage laws The victory of proponents of gay marriage in three states surprised analysts. Maine became the first state to pass a law in favour of the measure by a popular vote. Gay marriage referendums were also held in the states of Maryland and Washington, where opponents of same-sex marriage were seeking to reverse legislation already on the statute books. Those attempts were unsuccessful. Brian Ellner, the head of the pro-gay marriage group, The Four, said: "It's enormous. We have truly made history." "Having the first states approve marriage by a popular vote changes the narrative and sends an important message to the Supreme Court." In a fourth state, Minnesota, the electorate rejected an attempt to define marriage in the state constitution as "between one man and one woman".

great fun but that thing where you go, "Wow, this is a story which should be out there" -- I've not done so much. It's nice to be able to share something that you think should be out there. What's the big difference between theatre and TV? The main difference is collaboration. You have so much more time to create a character and it's much more of a collaborative process. That's a fantastic process because in TV you don't have the time to do that. You pretty much learn your lines and sometimes if you're lucky you get a bit of rehearsal time. Does being in a popular TV show change things? Heartbeat was very different. I was quite unprepared because I didn't realise how popular it was with the general public. We did a lot of Richard And Judy and magazines, so I was recognised when I went out. Which is intrusive and a bit peculiar. Then you finish and after about six months people stop recognising you and you feel a bit odd again. It's a bit up and down. Do Midsomer Murders fans stop you in the street? I've not really been recognised that much from Midsomer. I've been lucky in that most of the shows I've done, they're family-friendly, nice entertainment. I've worked with actors who've played horrendous rapists or paedophiles and they get terrible abuse in public by people who confuse the boundaries.

A Scale Model of the Blind River Uranium Refinery As this scale model shows, inside the Blind River refinery is a maze of pipes, tanks, and vats. Here, uranium is converted from a fine dry powder, called "yellowcake", which is almost the consistency of flour, into a kind of gel called "uranium trioxide". The uranium trioxide is then shipped to Port Hope, where it is transformed into uranium dioxide (for domestic use as CANDU fuel) and uranium hexafluoride (for export to an enrichment plant). After it has been enriched, the exported uranium can be used as fuel for other types of reactors. oto by Robert Del Tredici from his book entitled At Work In The Fields Of The Bomb (Harper and Row, 1987) | NARRATIVE | NA HA | 340,645 |

cover for the extra deficit. But this would only happen until the government stops paying for the SS benefits. Second, you assume the amount of total stocks outstanding will not change. But I think if SS were privatized along the lines described in your book, companies are probably going to issue extra shares and reinvest the money into the economy. So I think your critique that it is all a wash at the macro level might only hold in the very short run. the program is the gov stops taxing you 100 and you buy stocks with it. that means there's 100 more in reserve accounts that otherwise would have been debited for tax payment. so the tsy offers 100 more in tsy secs than otherwise the next year the same happens etc. so the tsy issues as many more tsy secs as whatever the tax would have been otherwise. issuing doesn't increase market share. market share is measured in sales as a % of total sales in that market yes, stocks might rise some and there might be some wealth effect, but with earnings not rising from this program i wouldn't bet on it happening from this program.

Articles by This Author Humans contribute energy to the global system at the rate of 15 Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs a minute. CLEARING UP THE CLIMATE DEBATE: Director of the Melbourne Energy Institute and Professor of Geology Mike Sandiford explores the staggering ways we influence the shape of the globe. Aren't we too puny to rival the great forces of nature that shape our planet? Certainly some prominent Australian geologists sceptical of our ability to impact our climate have said as much. But the facts show that we are fundamentally impacting planet Earth in unprecedented ways, and we've known about it for a century. Measuring our impact So what are those measures of our geological impact, and how do they compare to the natural energy and material fluxes that shape our planet? Geologists estimate that on average about 10 billion tonnes of sediment have been moved from mountain to sea each year over geological time by rivers and glaciers. Since the onset of agriculture, the river sediment flux has increased about threefold, to about 28 billion tonnes each year. Let's compare that to our own direct activities.

audio updates on games being played elsewhere from proper touchline commentators Alan Mcinally and football's Mr Nice Guy , Geoff Shreeves. It'll certainly enhance the feeling of being part of a wider footballing world, and could make for some really exciting moments towards the end of a season if you're relying on other results. A less widely reported improvement is that when a player is being substituted the commentators will now comment on how many goals/assists the player has for that season, and hopefully more too, which will improve the authenticity of the experience yet further. Another potentially massive change is the ability to now take over a new club mid-season as a manager, or be sold in the winter transfer window as a player. I have to confess that I get cold feet pretty quickly with most of the clubs I take over, so it will be nice to know that I can move on at any point if the right job comes up and I fancy a new challenge. Getting the balance right will be crucial here as well -- I don't want to be accepted for the big jobs too early in my career, but I do want them to come up over a realistic amount of time (i.e. at least once a season for Chelsea).

But, before I embark on what I have to say on that specific question, there are one or two other points on the general question of this Measure which I would like to raise. I have much sympathy with some of the things said by the hon. and learned Member for the Combined English Universities (Mr. H. Strauss). I, also, am in favour of a Second Chamber. I am not at all sure that in a Second Chamber, properly constituted, the question of delay might not also be a very important one; but we cannot consider the question of delay in a properly constituted Second Chamber in the same way as we consider delay in a Chamber which is constituted on the hereditary principle. It is because of the hereditary principle that the Government have said that this House of Lords, which gives to the Opposition a whole five years of support, can, if it so wishes, deny to this Government, or any progressive government, an opportunity for any really valuable work in its last two years. 273 I am not in agreement with the hereditary principle.

enforced. This was a significant decision because the employer had not suggested at any stage that the claimant had referred more than one dispute to adjudication. Further, this is a case where - had this been in issue - it is highly likely that the court would have concluded that only one dispute had been referred. Partial final determination In other cases, losing parties have sought to achieve the effect of severance by seeking a Part 8 declaration that part of the decision was wrong, in circumstances where the whole decision was made within jurisdiction, so that only the remainder is enforced. In 2009, in a case between Geoffrey Osborne Ltd and Atkins Rail, both parties had agreed that part of the adjudicator's decision was wrong. The losing party applied under Part 8 for a declaration that the adjudicator had had no jurisdiction to issue the decision and that he had erred in law and/or fact. The judge held that the decision was enforceable, but refused to order any money to be paid over on the basis that the adjudicator had been wrong to award the sum he did. The judge held that an adjudicator's decision could be enforced in part only if there is part of the adjudicator's decision that can be isolated and determined by the court, but he made no reference to the cases discussed above under severability.

to deal with these conditions. Many health problems can be prevented or at least their occurrence postponed by having a healthy lifestyle. Why don't you have a healthy lifestyle? It's a busy life for most of us. And keeping ourselves healthy is all too rarely near the top of our list of 'things to do'. Convenience often wins -- we are all so busy that convenience is at a premium. Good Health Is 'Simple -- But It's Not Easy' It is so important to make 'keeping healthy' a part of our day-to-day living habits. Your health depends on what you do throughout the day, everyday. A healthy lifestyle is absolutely vital. Here is a real simple solution -- slowly improve your lifestyle in a step-by-step way. If you take one new health step every two months, for example, in two to three years you will be among the healthiest ten percent of people in the Western world. And boy will you see and feel the benefits. Improvements do not have to be large steps; take one small step for your health today, keep that one going, and add another one every two months. Have a plan -- maybe introduce 6 improvements over the course of a year. Can You Adopt A Healthy Lifestyle?

here are only enjoying the fruits of their labor. It seems to me, a lot of stuff probably could be outsourced without skill- and brain-drain, but some we should prefer to keep here regardless of the facts that it seems a benefit to pay USD for real products. from a purely economic point of view, economics is the reverse of religion. it's better to receive than to give. having people make stuff for us to consume is a sign of economic success. the problem can come when they decide not to and we have to figure out how to make stuff for ourselves. but in reality that's not what I see happening. I see us importing labor content more than intellectual content, and supplying intellectual content here domestically. Or at least that's what I want to see...

barrels. Brandy Brandy is produced by distilling Wine. The word Brandy was derived from the Dutch word Brandewijn which means 'burnt wine'. Brandy is also produced from fermented fruits other than grapes, which in French typically called eaux-de-vie. If brandy is made from fruits other than grape it is referred to as fruit brandy or by using the name of the fruit. For example apple brandy or pomace brandy . Fruit brandy usually contains 40 -45% alcohol by volume. Brandy has a traditional quality rating system and these indicators can usually be found on the label near the brand name: A.C.: aged two years in wood. V.S.: "Very Special" or 3-Star, aged at least three years in wood. V.S.O.P.: "Very Superior Old Pale" or 5-Star, aged at least five years in wood. X.O.: "Extra Old", Napoleon or Vieille Reserve, aged at least six years, Napoleon at least four years. Vintage: Stored in the cask until the time it is bottled with the label showing the vintage date. Hors d'age: These are too old to determine the age, although ten years plus is typical. Cognac Brandy Cognac is produced in the wine growing region surrounding the town of 'Cognac' in France. It production methods should meet certain legal requirements. It must be made from specific grapes and present time it is made from Ugni Blanc grapes. Cognac must be twice distilled in copper pots.

LEA sees a reduction in resource. The more fragmented the system becomes the less able an LEA is able to make these telling interventions. So, will central government be able to take on this role? It looks unlikely. A few months ago Sir Michael Wilshaw himself addressed the issue of support for schools. He made it clear that Ofsted could not fill the gap -- there was not way it could -- or should -- take on some of the roles and functions of local authorities. So, who might? Sir Michael has talked about the establishment of educational commissioners, people who would take on both the support and the regulatory role of LEAs, but it is not clear who these people might be. The early days of OFSTED utilised an army of early retired educationalists but any new service today is likely to be let under national framework contracts to the big educational and management consultancies. I suspect that such a system would be an anathema to many schools and parents. Once again we can see the practical importance of a Local Education Authority and once again we can see real problems being derived from the ideological assault on local democracy.

full of stories - I dare you not to choke up! But it's humorous where appropriate, too. Reading Elizabeth's writing is like carrying on a conversation with a good friend. Most impressive is the wealth of resources she's tapped into to provide her stories and advice. From patients, to medical professionals, to other authors, to her colleague Dr. Sanjay Gupta (CNN) or even Deepak Chopra, she's interviewed them all and provided us with an insider's view of the medical world we might not otherwise ever understand. Do yourself a favor and purchase this book. You'll better understand your own role in getting your own best healthcare, and you'll have access to the tools you need to get started. It's refreshing for a doctor to read an informed patient's analysis of our current health care system. I came away feeling humbled, grateful, frustrated, yet hopeful. Although some physicians may be insulted by the author's characterization of the medical profession, she cuts to the quick in identifying dozens of problems inherent in the American system. As I read, I couldn't help thinking that many of these difficulties must plague other health care systems as well: the time pressure that doctors constantly struggle against, the flawed communication between patients and physicians, the many obstructions to finding the correct diagnosis for every patient, the dangers of hospitalizations. 'The Empowered Patient' is a practical patient-oriented manual for dealing with the current health system as it is, warts and all. Elizabeth Cohen does a great job | IP | IP DS | 721,610 |

The pink, ?other? versions of standard toys, as mentioned above, 2. Toys that encourage a focus on domestic roles like childcare and cleaning (which are fine for role playing fun, but damaging when accompanied by the clear message that these activities are only for girls, and are among the few things that girls are / should be interested in), 3. Toys that encourage concern, from a very early age, about beauty, fashion, image, and even ?sexiness.? In the Boys? section, meanwhile, are toys that encourage play involving space travel, construction, planes, trains and automobiles, adventure, science projects, and role play as ?heroes? (superheroes, firefighters, police officers). Nothing in the Boys section indicates that little boys should spend any time thinking about whether they?re attractive or worthy of the attention of the other sex.

the power supply on relatively cheap Toshiba and Samsung players. You can find the guide to do it yourself here . Upgrade Your Analogue Source A lot of audiophiles swear by the quality of sound from vinyl records and if you're looking to dig into new music, vinyl is a great, cheap place to start. When you use a record player as a source, you might be tempted to ditch the old Sony turntable you found at a thrift store in favour of something with a bit more punch. However, as long as that turntable spins at the correct speed, the only part you need to worry about is the piece that touches the record: the needle. You can find replacement needles and cartridges (the case that holds the needle and attaches to the arm) for most turntables at sites like Turntable Needles and Needle Doctor . A new needle will dramatically increase the sound quality from a turntable. Decide What You Need From a Receiver The receiver is the final component in our simplified three-piece setup, but its importance is reliant on what you want from it. A lot of modern receivers feature HDMI inputs for a home theatre setup, but if you plan on only listening to vinyl and CDs, stick with a cheap receiver. Ethan Winer offers this suggestion: Even a $200 receiver will have a response that's flat enough to not matter, with distortion too soft to hear at normal power levels.

great. Use butter for the flavor, olive oil for a healthier gravy, or mix them for both.) I then whisk my mostly-fat-separated drippings with the roux and add other liquids/seasonings as desired. This approach is simple and ensures a tasty, lump-free gravy! For no lump gravy , I use the stock and drippings of whatever has been cooked, roast , turkey ,, etc. Pour it into a sauce pan. Use a jar with a lid, add about 1/4 cup of flour , or three heaping table spoons . To the flour, add "COLD" water about a cup. SHAKE WELL . Heat the drippings to a boil over medium high heat, pour in the desired amount of flour water,continually stir til gravy boils lightly and thickened to the desired consistancy . Season to taste. I much prefer not to use either cornstarch or flour in a gravy. Both alter the flavor. Pour off excess fat from the roasting pan. Then simply put the roasting tin over high heat on your stovetop. Add a bit of wine (3-4 oz); white for chicken, veal or fish & red for red meats or duck. Deglaze the pan making sure you scrape off all the browned bits. Reduce until all the alchol has evaporated.

Pilates: Teaching a Multi-level Class In an ideal world, you would always have the opportunity to evaluate the fitness level of participants individually first and place them in a class that is the right level for them. Given this opportunity, students start at the same fitness level and progress together. It becomes easier to set and achieve goals because you will have a set number of classes with the same students and a longer period of time to reach them. However, it is most common that fitness centers and Pilates studios opt for drop-in group classes as this tends to be more convenient for the participants. In the drop-in group setting, it becomes essential to keep the pace of the class up at the same time as you give just the right amount of essential cues about technique. Most beginner Pilates instructors tend to overwhelm students with too many cues. Even giving one good cue per exercise based on what is happening in the room is enough to class by class transform the body mechanics of your students as you also succeed in keeping them motivated. Remember that Pilates should be dynamic and fun! It requires skill and a bit of practice to keep all the clients challenged, happy and safe. In order to do this, you need to have a solid understanding of how to quickly provide modifications and progressions for each exercise so that the class keeps moving and the needs of all participants are covered.

Remember, if you need any further advice, ring our toll-free number to speak to a registered Dietitian at 0800 688 742, post a question in our Ask the Dietitian section of this site, or consult your Health Professional. Firstly, refer to our Feeding Guide for Babies to ensure your baby is ready to start on solid food. Timing and trying Choose a time to start when both you and baby are relaxed - perhaps after the mid morning or early afternoon feed. (The time gap after a feed depends on the baby's age and sleep pattern). If baby pulls a funny face, or spits the food out, remember that he/she is not only getting used to a new taste but also trying a new way of taking food; eating from a spoon instead of sucking. Keep trying. Hold baby on your knee while you feed him, or if appropriate, sit him in a baby high chair. Texture and consistency First foods need to be smooth and creamy, and free of all lumps. Use a blender, a mouli or push food through a fine sieve. Expressed breast milk, formula or cooled boiled water can be added to achieve the right consistency; aim for semi solid or runny. To begin with, if the mixture is too stiff or dry your baby may not enjoy it - remember he/she | IN | IN | 1,768,246 |

I have to say how impressed I've been with how each family has welcomed the other girl, with Nia's grandma bringing extra treats so Mara and Nia could have the same when we met her at a park downtown and Mara's dad compliments both of them on their tumbling and dancing and pats them both on the head when we see him. Mara has a sister who's four months older than Nia and while we haven't done as much as I'd like with all three girls together, that's a connection all three find special. In fact, three of Mara's siblings were with us for Mara's birthday party and the kids played well together. You've always been an advocate for birth parents working their case plan to reunify. Why is this important to you? I can be general about this or specific and I'm not sure which version is more honest or accurate. Taking on the job of fostering means recognizing that except in drastic circumstances, family reunification is going to be the initial goal. To me, there's the added piece that I don't want to end up adopting a child whose parents were cheated out of custody. In Mara's case, neither parent made any steps toward reunification, | NARRATIVE | NA PB | 144,914 |
individual personality and programming style. Of 20 girls, 14 favored the soft approach; of 20 boys, there were four who followed this route. In case material on college students taking a first programming course, of the 15 women, nine were soft style programmers; of 15 men, four. What we say in this chapter about gender, programming, and intellectual style is based on the analysis of these cases. But we believe that what is most important is not any statistical association between gender and programming styles, but what lies behind the styles and behind the resistance of our intellectual culture to recognize and facilitate them both. In our culture, those who use hard approaches don't simply share a style, they constitute an epistemological elite. Here, we focus on the soft approach; the canonical style is well known and well defended. But implicitly, our discussion of soft approaches is a discussion of hard ones; it contributes to the deconstruction of the latter as the way to do things. It also situates it: the supervaluation of the hard approach owes much of its strength within computation to the support it gets in other intellectual domains. To state simplistically a position we shall elaborate in the following pages: "Hard thinking" has been used to define logical thinking. And logical thinking has been given a privileged status that can be challenged only by developing a respectful understanding of other styles where logic is seen as a powerful instrument of thought but not as the "law | IN | IN DT | 250,110 |
which was based on a large Gallup poll. The author is very objective in his treatment, whether the conclusion is positive or negative regarding Muslim attitudes he simply lets the data speak. Although one can criticise certain aspects of his data selections and interpretations, there is no question that this is a sincerely pursued social science study presented in a readable way. Highly recommended. The author is trying to demonstrate that most followers of the Koran and Islam are law abiding citizens living normal lives. The same could be said about the Germans during Hitlers rule. There are a lot of sheep in the Muslim world that are being lead by true followers of the Koran who want to kill the Jews and Christians - just like their god did - Mohammad - when he was alive. | IP | IP DS | 210,146 |

Your Pull shots through Mid-on and Mid-Wicket. Good Luck for Everything, Mr. Murray. Cheers !! David Hopps joined ESPNcricinfo as UK editor early in 2012. For the previous 20 years he was a senior cricket writer for the Guardian and covered England extensively during that time in all Test-playing nations. He also covered four Olympic Games and has written several cricket books, including collections of cricket quotations. He has been an avid amateur cricketer since he was 12, and so knows the pain of repeated failure only too well. The pile of untouched novels he plans to read, but rarely gets around to, is now almost touching the ceiling. He divides his time between the ESPNcricinfo office in Hammersmith and his beloved Yorkshire. | NARRATIVE | NA SR | 3,082,046 |
he died after all that time. Similar argument might be made for Theodred, although it's true he didn't live very long. So while I like Eowyn's immunities I guess I don't like Eowyn's new wraith-wounding rule. And really, if you read the book, it was Merry's blade that did the trick and make the wraith's flesh mortal, so that Eowyn could deliver the coup-de-grace. Fearlessness and indomitability are their own rewards. I actually get the feeling that Gil-Galad knew Sauron was going to kill, which would explain why he gave Vilya to Elrond, so him only having 1 fate kinda fits in with LotR. Now, if this was the War of Sauron and the Elves (forget if that's the official name or not), he would HAVE to have 3 fate. _________________ Why yes, I did own one of these.

need to spend that sort of money in many other areas. We don't need a back up either. @21, Szsc has plenty of time ahead in his career and he needs to be pushed a little for his spot at the moment. What we do need is suitable competition. Viviano has been linked which could be interesting. This is a young prospective keeper recently hampered by injury now coming back into the game but displaced in his squad. Also other alternatives may be Al Habsi, the Wigan keeper has fantastic reflexes or Pletikosa who spent a year at Spurs. Both these keepers could be lured in by the challenge of CL albeit of course they will be sacrificing regular footy for long periods on the bench. Therein lies the problem in this position. The other solution would be to get in an older veteran keeper who will not feel unconfortable benched for long periods. There aren't many and those that are are reaching the end of their tenure fitness-wise. Jaskelainnen would have been good cover but Wenger seems to look as if he will prefer the option of bringing in someone younger as direct competition for Szsc. We'll see how it plays out but this position is absolutely crucial for us to rienforce at the moment.

Negativity or Sexism Being in This Industry? Personally, I've never had any issues with being a woman in the industry. I think good work is good work, and I feel I've had the same opportunities as my male counterparts. However, I just realized that most of my clients are female, so perhaps I never noticed. Or maybe I'm just really lucky. Do You Think Female Designers Have Advantages Over Their Male Counterparts? I don't think that female designers have advantages just by being female. I think that we bring a unique perspective and voice to the industry, just as male designers do. If You Were Not a Designer, What Would You Be? Honestly, design is so ingrained in me now; I have no idea where I'd be without it. I probably would have stuck with my original plan and gotten into the magazine industry. What is Your Biggest Challenge/Achievement? I'm currently getting into PHP development, and that's a completely different monster than I'm used to. It's a little intimidating and very exciting. Anything to Say to Other Female Designers? Don't let the technical side of web design intimidate you. Be aware of what others are doing, but don't get too caught up in it. Someone will always be better than you. Focus on producing your best work. Keep learning. This industry changes so quickly, it takes diligence to stay in the loop.

Pitching your business may be presented in a variety of avenues. Whether it is in an elevator between the first and fourteenth flour, or on national television in front of the dragons , there are key fundamentals that will always hold true. 1. Less is more- Figure out how to explain your business quickly and concisely. A pitch does not always take place in a boardroom, sometimes you need to relay your proposition in the time it takes for your listener to finish their martini. Start with a clear explanation of what your business is (For example... 'We rent reusable moving boxes for residential and commercial moves'.) One of the most common mistakes is to get heavily invested in the description of details and technicalities. If the audience you are pitching to do not grasp the concept right away, they may presume that your customers won't either. 2. Connect with emotion - Frame your business from the perspective of solving the customers' problem. When it really comes down to it, all great businesses solve a consumer need. Have an in depth understanding of the implications of the present issue; you do not want to sound like a solution in search of a problem. 3. Know your market - Objectively quantify the size and scope of the market so that investors know that there is real potential in your business. Coming up with a great solution to a problem holds little value if the market is limited ("I have finally come | HI | HI | 3,345,056 |

Or throw a party! Haunted House instructions: Clear the floor of how ever many rooms you'd like to play in. Pick someone as 'it' and spin them around twenty times. Turn all the lights off. Blindfold the person and have him count to 60 while you and your friends go hide. Now, the person must go through the rooms unblindfolded to find you guys... But! It's still pitch black. And, if you see him make creepy noises and scare him. You can just jump out of your hiding place. If you scare him, you win. But if he finds you before you scare him, he win.

payroll and bookkeeping as well as statutory reporting. 3. Groomer/Professional Groomer Professional grooming can take years to master.. This is taught through private grooming schools or TAFE Certificate 3 or 4 (Animal Management) with experience based training usually included as part of the training. Many Groomers train for more than 4 years before reaching competition level and training includes hygiene, Occupational Health and Safety, animal welfare, scissoring, clipping, pet & show grooming, dyeing, styling, skin health, coat types and finishing. Privately operated short courses are available, but it generally takes some time to master the techniques to Groomer standard. 4. High level pet training/Pet training for movies Courses are through TAFE or private schools and then generally include on-the-job additional training and "apprenticeship" with an experienced trainer. Training also includes business skills. Jobs in this area are not common, but the good operators generally do well, particularly if they are natural marketers. 5. Animal Therapist/Myotherapist Similar to a physiotherapist and taking pets through rehabilitation to wellness, these roles generally require a high degree of training from an appropriate school. Jobs can also include in the racing industry, especially for greyhounds and horses. Talk to the natural therapies schools, or the Physiotherapists Association for more details. 6. Animal Chiropractor While these roles have traditionally been with racing animals (greyhouds and horses) there are increasing roles for qualified animal chiropractors for pets. Currently the only course is through RMIT University in Melbourne and only veterinarians, chiropractors or osteopaths are eligible for training. | OP | OP AV | 660,630 |

It is an indicator of a number of gases that produce a greenhouse effect, another significant one being water vapour - a result of higher rates of evaporation due to higher temperatures. A snow-balling effect. scubasteve says: 08:15am | 14/09/11 Agree. We all stopped listening a long time ago.

There is one clear difference between speeding fines and a carbon tax. When you speed you pay the fine. You cannot put your wages up to pay for it!

glamorous pictures of my parents, and they look like Ike and Vera! So, anyway, I went out to register for school, and I had just a weird idea about going to New York and seeing a friend of mine that I had been dating in Minneapolis. And I got up to Manhattan, and I just never left. I got into Sande Shurin's acting classes, which was amazing, but I was starving -- literally -- and staying in a flophouse on 42nd and 2nd for $15 a night because I lied and told them I was a model. And, like, a month later, I was a model. John Casablancas from Elite saw me in an elevator and gave me his card. I thought he was some kind of porn director. [Laughs.] I couldn't understand what he was saying to me. He was all excited and pitching me on the idea of modeling, but somehow I thought it was some porn thing, so I just kind of threw the card in my bag and was like, "Get away from me!" But later I was showing the card to friends and was laughing about it, and they went, "No, no, that's, like, the cool, big modeling agency." And I'm like, "Yeah, but I'm not a model.

Two: "You want to make sure you've got a nice clean kitchen. Cheese attracts mould. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it will make a difference to your cheese." Buoyed, I return home with several pints of whole milk, and turn to the Cheese Making Shop's basic kit for soft cheese, with a curious collection of accessories: its thermometer, sieve, mould, a sort of bandage, and a chemical labelled -- slightly alarmingly -- "dickmilch". What this all means, I don't know, but I fully expect to be savouring homemade fromage soon. "Warm the milk to 30C," it says. Fine. "Add 100ml of the prepared mother culture, instructions in the envelope." Nervously, I open the envelope. This is fast becoming something out of a murder mystery meal. "The ripening of the cheese culture will take 20-24 hours," says a bit of paper. My heart sinks. Twenty-four hours ? It's already 11pm. I heat milk to 90C, and am told to add the quaintly named dickmilch after it has cooled to room temperature. Stupidly, I add it too soon. In a panic, I take the glass jar outside in the freezing night air. Twenty minutes later, the milk has cooled, I put it in the sink. The glass -- stressed at the sudden rise in temperature -- cracks.
