Intended UseHuman MCP-2 ELISA Kit allows for the in vitro quantitative determination of MCP-2 , concentrations in serum, Plasma , tissue homogenates and Cell culture supernates and Other biological fluids.
specificalPrinciple of the assay: This kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. The purified anti-MCP-2 antibody was pre-coated onto 96-well plates. And the HRP conjugated anti-MCP-2 antibody was used as detection antibodies. The standards, test samples and HRP conjugated detection antibody were added to the wells subsequently, mixed and incubated, then, unbound conjugates were washed away with wash buffer. TMB substrates (A & B) were used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the MCP-2 amount of sample captured in plate. Read the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader, and then the concentration of MCP-2 can be calculated. Background: Monocyte chemotactic protein 2 (MCP-2), also known as Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 8 (CCL8), is a CC chemokine that utilizes multiple cellular receptors to attract and activate human leukocytes. CCL8 is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. It is a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 by virtue of its high-affinity binding to the receptor CCR5, one of the major co-receptors for HIV-1. It elicits its effects by binding to several different cell surface receptors called chemokine receptors. These receptors include CCR1, CCR2B and CCR5.

I am often asked by my students what gadgets or tools I use and find indispensable in the kitchen. I am not a gadget person and find myself very satisfied with my food processor, immersion blender, juicer and standard blender. That’s about it for me in the gadget department but tools are another story. I believe that any profession is made easier with the proper tools, so here are a few of my favorites.
I love my lemon juicer which is used by halving a lemon and placing it cut side down in the opening and closing the two sides together over a bowl. Perfect for limes as well. They carry one for limes and oranges if you are in the market.
My favorite pepper mill is made by a company called Pepper Mate. https://www.peppermate.com/products/traditional-peppermill. This is the best pepper mill for everyday kitchen use. It is easy to fill and you grind the pepper into a wide plastic bottom for easy measuring and keeping things neat. For the table I often use a more elegant pepper mill but for your kitchen this one is my pick.
I also adore a micro plane for all your grating and zesting needs. I use orange, lemon and lime zest on a regular basis and this tool is the perfect thing for fine zest. I sometimes like finely grated cheese in a recipe which is when I use the microplane as well. Some people use it for ginger which is your choice, I prefer finely minced ginger, done with a chef’s knife.

Life in plastic? No way. The girls in these GIFs are unapologetically real. Meet this week's Exhibitionist in Residence, Toronto's BlackPowerBarbie.
She's no doll — she's this week's Exhibitionist in Residence.
Amika Cooper is the 25-year-old Toronto artist better known as BlackPowerBarbie.
"When you hire someone named BlackPowerBarbie, you kind of know what you're getting into," she laughs. It's art about "feminism and Afrocentrism and being cheeky with a little bit of edge and fun."
Truth in advertising. Her animation is unapologetically feminine, unabashedly fun — and maybe just a little more stylish than the gals that are manufactured by Mattel.
A recent Ryerson media production grad, the artist was recently commissioned to animate a galaxy of megastars — from Denzel Washington to Diana Ross — as part of TIFF's Black Star programme, and she's been tapped by the Gardiner Museum to collaborate on an original installation with Toronto's Rude Collective. That Yoko Ono-inspired project will debut at the museum's upcoming Eyeblink party in April.
As she's written on Instagram: "2018 lit."
The GIFs we're airing on Friday's episode show off her signature style: pop-art illustration with a zap of retro, space-disco glamour. And they're almost always portraits of Black women, from celebrity icons to ordinary folks — ladies typically indulging in some witchy Millennial self care.
Says BlackPowerBarbie: "My sources of inspiration mostly come from everyday people, and women that I see on the street who inspire me through their own street style — through the way that they carry themselves without apology and then also, you know, women in the media like Solange or Tracee Ellis Ross or Janelle Monae."
"I think the reason why I focus on Black women so much is because we don't often get to control our public image and there's a lot of misconceptions about us and the way that we feel and the full spectrum of our humanity."
"Whenever people look at my work I really want them to see me as a Black woman and to see other Black women the way I see us. So I see how fun and funky we are, but also see that we have softer sides."
"We can be sad, we can be fragile, we can be vulnerable. We can be beautiful. You know, that's basically it. I just want to offer an alternative image."
If this is Drake's art collection, what does it say about him?

Motion capture is defined as “The creation of a 3D representation of a live performance”, according to the book of Understanding Motion Capture by Alberto Menache for Computer Animation and Video Games. Full body motion capture (MoCap) plays an important role in all the fields from entertainment to medicine. This is in contrast to animation that is created ‘by hand’ through a process known as key framing. In the early days, the effort required to ‘clean up’ motion capture data often took as long as if the animation was created by an animator, from scratch. Thanks to hard work by the manufacturers of motion capture systems as well as numerous software developers, motion capture has become a feasible tool for the generation of animation.
The Idea of my project is to research different ways of performing a full body motion capture and transfer it onto a 3D Character. My research is to learn different methods, software and the techniques to get the desired output. The task which is involved in doing this research is to find out the easiest and the cost effective way to do motion capture. Furthermore I need to do research on the cameras used in Motion Capture and MoCap suits with and without markers. I need to troubleshoot the problems encountered while converting the captured data into a compatible 3D software.
In this project, I haven’t used accurate motion capture systems due to high cost, inflexibility and complexity of operation. I have developed a marker less MoCap system, even worked on a Marker MoCap system which targets these issues.
It starts with animation and the enhancement in the world of Animation. Animation replicates real life things on paper by drawing it or creating it on computers using various software’s.
In early 19th Century, the sequence of arranging frame by frame pictures on a chart or wheel and rotating it to get animated movement. This was called Phenakistoscope which was invented by two Australian men. This took drawing on another level where people started their favorite pictures moving. Later in that century people did some more research and invented different types such as Zoetrope, flip book, praxinoscope.
This is how traditional animation came to live in 20th century, people started drawing frame by frame pictures which was either projected or recorded to form animation. Movies like Fantasmagorie, Gertie the Dinosaur, Feline Follies were the first animated short films made for entertainment. Later in 1923 Walt Disney and Warner bros created Mickey Mouse character and series of animation with Mickey Mouse and friends, Disney won Academy award for this movie. Later seven such movies were released that era along with Snow white and seven dwarfs. All this was black and white frame which was drawn by hand. In mid-90’s color television was introduced in US market. This was good motivation for animation industry to start something in color.
During those years another form of animation was invented where photograph of puppets were arranged one after other and played, it was called Stop motion Animation. It was then used in movies like King Kong and the 7th voyage of Sindbad. Some part of Jurassic park was also done with stop motion animation which was done in 1993.
Then the era of Computer graphics Imagery (CGI) came into existence where Toy story was made by Pixar in 1995 which was the First CGI movie. A principal difference of CGI animation compared to traditional animation is that drawing is replaced by 3D modeling, almost like a virtual version of stop-motion. A form of animation that combines the two and uses 2D computer drawing can be considered computer aided animation. Most CGI created films are based on animal characters, monsters, machines, or cartoon-like humans.
Animation studios are now trying to develop ways to create realistic-looking humans. This is where 21st century Animation got defined by using motion Capture to bring real life Motions on to CG characters. Films like Star wars 1999, Final Fantasy 2001, Polar express 2004, Happy Feet 2006, Beowulf 2007. Then the mile stone of CG animation was set by James Cameroon by making Movie like AVATAR 2009. History continues with Avengers 2012, Ted 2012, Hobbit 2013 and Planet of apes 2014.

Wraped the nine-metre navvari sari and wearing ethnic jewellery — necklace, earrings, payal, kamarpatta and bangles, Rajashree Sawant Wad plays the role of a Lavani woman.
For nearly 500 years, the preparation has remained the same. She wraps the nine-metre navvari sari around her, carefully accentuating her curves. Looking in the mirror, she ties her hair into a low bun and adjusts her large red bindi. Next comes the jewellery — necklace, earrings, payal, kamarpatta and bangles. Before stepping on to the stage, she looks back in the mirror. She is a Lavani woman. And now, she is being played by Rajashree Sawant Wad, in a play on Lavani performers written by Sushama Deshpande.
Pune-based Deshpande first started interacting with Lavani women in the 1990s while working as a journalist. After briefly meeting some of them, she decided to write a play about their lives. After finishing it, she reread it and instinctively tore it up. “I was writing as Sushama, not as a Lavani woman,” she said. In 1993-94, she took another shot at the play. This time around, she tasted success. Before she performed it, Deshpande read out the script to the dancers she had befriended. “Their reaction was simply ‘Wow. You came to know a lot about us!’,” she says.
Last year, she was approached by actor Rajashree Sawant Wad to use her script. When Deshpande agreed, it was the end of a long search for Wad. “For years, I attended Lavani festivals and asked people to write me a piece that I could perform. Nothing really worked out. When I saw Sushama’s script, it was a match made in heaven,” says Wad. Since January, she has performed it five times in Mumbai and Pune. “There are no pretensions in the lives of Lavani dancers. In the play, Heera says: ‘I am not like those urban ladies who go to offices, paint their lips, and have secret affairs they hide. I am a Lavani woman, I say it proudly. I dance, I entertain. Watch me’,” says Wad.

Webster's Bible Revelation Chapter 4:1-11.
4:1 After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard, was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.
4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
4:3 And he that sat was in appearance like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow around the throne in sight like an emerald.
4:4 And around the throne were four and twenty seats; and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like crystal: And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living beings full of eyes before and behind.
4:7 And the first living being was like a lion, and the second living being like a calf, and the third living being had a face as a man, and the fourth living being was like a flying eagle.
4:8 And the four living beings had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.
4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, and honor, and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Naelani is a happy, talkative baby who loves to dance. When she was 3 months old, a massive lymphatic leak threatened her life. She was flown from Texas to Philadelphia for an innovative procedure which worked to seal the leak and restore her health.
Naelani was born on Christmas Eve, in San Antonio, Texas. She was a small baby, just 4 pounds, 4 ounces. Naelani was born with a condition known as truncus arteriosus, in which the heart has just one large artery carrying blood from it, rather than the normal two. Her parents, Alexis and Terrance, had learned of the heart problem in a routine ultrasound, weeks earlier.
As a result of her condition, Naelani’s blood did not have as much oxygen as it should have as it circulated through her body. When she started feeding, she became symptomatic. She couldn’t nurse and breathe at the same time. Naelani was put on oxygen to support her breathing and was scheduled for surgery.
The procedure to reconstruct Naelani’s heart was performed when she was a month old. But a new problem was discovered soon after. Abnormal blood tests led to the diagnosis of DiGeorge syndrome, a genetic condition also known as chromosome 22q11 deletion for the affected gene. In Naelani’s case, the syndrome had left her with a greatly weakened immune system.
Naelani’s next challenge was nutrition. She wasn’t feeding normally and remained in the hospital on a nasogastric (NG) feeding tube for several weeks. Her medical team suggested placement of a gastrointestinal tube (G-tube). They expected the change would make feeding easier and allow her parents to take her home.
Naelani had the G-tube placed in March. At the same time, the surgeon performed a procedure called Nissen fundoplication to reduce reflux. After the surgery, Alexis noticed pink fluid leaking from the site where the tube entered her abdomen. A week later, as plans were being made for her release, she noticed that Naelani’s belly was swollen.
“She was so swollen she could barely breathe,” Alexis remembers.
Naelani’s medical team tapped her abdomen to drain the fluid, which they determined to be a leakage of chyle, the fluid of the lymphatic system. Two days later, they drained more. Since the fluid buildup was continuing, a drain was placed in her abdomen. Naelani was found to be leaking close to half a liter of lymphatic fluid every day.
An ultrasound was done to look for the source of the leak, but was inconclusive. Naelani’s formula was modified to remove fat, which can decrease the volume of lymphatic fluid, and she was given medication to decrease the fluid. Neither had much of an effect.
The Center for Lymphatic Imaging and Interventions has unique expertise in treating lymphatic leaks. The center’s team has treated hundreds of children and adults with lymphatic leaks and lymphatic flow disorders, making it the largest and most active treatment program of its kind in the world. The center is led by Yoav Dori, MD, PhD, a pediatric cardiologist at CHOP, and Maxim Itkin, MD, an interventional radiologist at HUP.
After Naelani’s case was reviewed by the Lymphatics team, arrangements were made to transfer her to CHOP. The transfer date had to be moved back when Naelani contracted cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common congenital viral infection. With her weak immune system, Naelani became very sick.
After recovering from her infection in May, Naelani was transported by air ambulance to Philadelphia. Naelani’s leak was significant, making it challenging to pinpoint the source of the leak.
Her medical team performed a surgery called a laparotomy, so that they could identify the source of the leak. In preparation, they changed Naelani’s formula to increase, rather than decrease, the lymphatic flow in order to make the leak more visible. They found the leak near the site of the Nissen procedure, and they were able to seal the leak with a special glue. The procedure worked to stop the leak, and the flow of milky fluid stopped.
When Naelani was well enough, she was transported back to San Antonio, where she spent an additional month in the hospital to stabilize her breathing and feeding.
Naelani was 7 months old when she finally came home from the hospital. She had a G-tube for feeding and required supplemental oxygen at night.
Alexis and Terrance are grateful for the breakthrough in Naelani’s care they found at CHOP.
Thanks to innovative treatment to stop her lymphatic leaks, Paisley is now a happy and active child.
John, 6, is playing sports after an innovative procedure sealed the leaks in his lymphatic system.
One-year-old Lilly hasn’t missed a developmental milestone since an innovative interventional procedure saved her life.

Napishi.Ru / Letter - Send telegram, 'paper' letter and telex messages in any country via internet. Hybrid mail system.
To send a letter you should perform the following steps.
Step One - enter (or copy and paste) the letter text into a form.
Step Two - enter the mailing address of the recipient (or to pick it up from the address book).
Step Three - enter the sender's address (or to pick it up from the address book).
Step Four - to select if somebody will refund my expences for your letter sending.
There are some opportunities: you by yourself, a sponsor or nobody.
If you will select the first way, you are offered to do it on the spot, i.e. in the browser, in this case you could select the refund amount yourself.
In the second case (if we have a sponsor) - you will be able to entrust the refund to him, and when my smart program will print the letter, it will make a mark: "Paid by some kind sponsor".
And, at last, the third case - the saddest one. You can not pay (or wouldn't like to do it), there are no sponsors (or there are, but are ready to pay for the letters to Australia or to Moscow only, but you are writing to Zimbabwe). So, to send your letter, I will have to buy the paper, envelope, stamp and all the rest on my own expence. But at a lack of money I have to be a breadwinner for my family and two cats. Therefore, if in the first two cases I promise to print and send your letter within one business day, I can not guarantee to send it so quickly in the third case.
Oh, the introduction turns out to be so long, so I thank everybody who could read it to an end. And now, come on: Step one.
Need to send letters from your own website or application, using Napishi.Ru as messaging "engine"? Now it can be easily made using external XML-interfaces.

With apologies to those who follow my photo submissions – I know Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram followers see my photos as a matter of course, but WordPress and email subscribers probably don’t, due to a quirk of what gets pushed and how.
This week I’ve been advertising flowers, and the berries they will produce! Thought I’d share a little more on that, since it’s early May, and many of the berry plants we’ll be searching for later this summer are blooming – I like to take note NOW, so that when things ripen up later in the year, I can beat the birds and other animals to at least some of them.
“Huckleberry” means different things in different regions, but basically refers to a set of wild blueberry species that produce bell-shaped white flowers like this in May, and then each flower produces a single berry sometime between June and August, depending on specific species, climate and soil conditions. The berries range from dark red through blue to a deep almost-black glossy purple, and taste anywhere from tart like a cranberry, through blueberry sweet. The bushes are about 2 feet high, with slightly pointed oval leaves about 2-2.5″ long. Fortunately, my back yard is full of them – the understory is mostly holly and huckleberry! Wild berry pancakes are in my future!
Blackberries are a bramble, a thorny, weedy plant that loves waste ground – sunny overgrown fields, fence rows, roadsides. Right now you can see splashes of color – little white to pink, five-petaled flowers with a mess of spots and pink stamens in the middle. The flowers (and later berries) grow in clusters from one stem, and the plants are like the ones in this picture, often shouldering their way through other plants, draped over other bushes, and generally mingled with something non-blackberry. Come back in late June to mid-July, and there will be a treat here, if the birds don’t get there first!
(aka Tulip Poplar or Tulip Tree) I’ve been surprised to learn how many people don’t know what these are. They are the big showy flowers of the Tulip Tree, aka Tulip Poplar, or Yellow Poplar. And no you can’t eat them, but they’re out now and I just thought I’d throw them in the mix.
The trees are blooming now, but the flowers only tend to show up on parts of the tree with access to direct sunlight. So unless you have a big leafy poplar at the edge of a clearing (not common), all the flowers are high in the canopy, and you don’t see them until wind breaks them loose or the spent petals break off and come down one by one.

And if you’re still undecided, here are a few things to consider when making your decision.
Your wedding video will act like a time capsule, something you can enjoy for years to come. Imagine being able to show your grandchildren, and even great grandchildren. Your family members won’t be around forever, but your wedding video will mean you’ll be able to enjoy precious moments of your Granddad’s dancing for years and years.
If you’re planning a wedding I’m sure you’ve been told how fast your day will go. One second you’re hearing “you may kiss the bride” and the next moment it’s the last dance of the evening. Imagine being able to relive those moments all over again – the emotions you felt, the way you walked down the aisle. Or your first kiss and the proud tears in your Dad’s eyes… it’ll all be there for you to enjoy until your heart is content.
A video is for the moments you didn’t see. You can be a fly on the wall for the moments you weren’t able to be at. Imagine hearing how your other half felt the moment before you walked down the aisle. Or maybe you were at the bar when there was some serious ‘Dad’ dancing going on.
A wedding video isn’t an expense it’s an investment. An investment in the happiest day of your life….
Remember the choice is all yours, and if that choice is yes, then picking the right videographer is an easy one. It’s as simple as deciding if you like a piece of cake. Watch their promos and sample videos. Then you can decide if you like their style, and if they’re the right videographer to capture your day.
“My husband and I, last minute, decided to hire a videographer for our wedding. The best money we could have spent!

A timeline has revealed when a project to turn one of the last single lane stretches of the A30 in Cornwall into a dual carriageway will be completed.
The controversial plans aim to get rid of one of the road's last bottlenecks by building a new road costing an estimated £280m.
Now, four months later, Highways England has revealed a proposed timeline for the new road which shows that it could be opened to motorists by the winter of 2022, reports Cornwall Live.
At the start of 2010, roadworks to build the new A30 between Carland Cross and Chiverton roundabout are due to begin.

I first stayed at the Parliament House in Orlando in the summer of 1976, just a year after Bill Miller and Michael Hodges purchased the Abbey, a rundown motel at 410 North Orange Blossom Trail, and turned it into Florida’s premier gay resort. If I recall correctly, the rooms were rather seedy, certainly in comparison to the big hotel chains that began to take over Orlando in the wake of Walt Disney World. But, if the Parliament House was a dump, it was our dump. It hosted a wild pool party every day, the five bars and a disco catered to every segment of our community, and the Playhouse Theater presented a series of memorable shows, hosted by the immortal “Miss P” (Paul Wegman). Most notorious of all was “balcony bingo”: a never-ending parade of men of every age, color and lifestyle who cruised their way around the P-House, even (especially) after the bars closed. Those were the days.
years.) But the pool parties were still hot; the bars and disco still attracted crowds; and the fierce Darcel Stevens hosted fabu drag shows at the Footlight Theater and Cabaret where Miss P once reigned supreme.
A lot has happened to “La Casa del Parliamento” (to quote Miss P) during the 35 years of its gay existence. Both Miller and Hodges died from AIDS-complications–Miller in 1987 and Hodges in 1992–and the P-House was inherited by Hodges’s clueless relatives. The place floundered in increased decay until 1999, when it was purchased by the husband and wife team of Don Granatstein and Susan Unger. The new owners gave the P-House some much-needed renovations and the place resumed its place as Orlando’s de facto community center. Unfortunately, Granatstein and Unger made some unwise business decisions, like trying to start a time-share resort next door. And while the Parliament House didn’t change much, the community around it did. Gay tourists no longer had to stay in the P-House in order to be gay; as Orlando’s theme parks and world class hotels began to court the lavender dollar. The Granatsteins, a straight couple, frowned upon “balcony bingo,” though AIDS and the aging of Orlando’s gay population were also responsible for the decline of that time-honored tradition.
As a gay man with an interest in LGBT history, I believe there are certain places that need to be preserved as community landmarks. One of them was New York City’s Stonewall Inn, which went through a series of changes over the years before finally resurfacing anew as a gay bar. For LGBT Floridians, Orlando’s Parliament House is a community landmark that served our community well for 35 years, affecting the lives of several generations of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people almost as much as the Stonewall Inn did. It would be worse than tragic if the P-House goes under. For all its faults, the Parliament House was and is Florida’s “gay kingdom;” a queer oasis in the middle of the Bible Belt that was always there to serve our ever-changing community. I pray that “La Case del Parliamento” will survive this current crisis, and continue to serve and thrill and please us for many years to come.

Sears and the GLBT History Museum of Central Florida (www.gayorlandohistory.com) for useful information and long-forgotten facts about the history of the Parliament House.

Because Manuka honey has become such a successful market, it’s expected that every now and again issues relating to success, such as copycat honeys, fraud, and beehive theft, would appear and beg the question of how to best go about protecting the integrity of the Manuka name. One of those current issues involves a fight between New Zealand and Australia over trademarking the honey’s name. On one side, New Zealand beekeepers want exclusive rights to the Manuka honey name since it’s generally believed the honey is unique to New Zealand. On the other, Australian producers say the Manuka tree is a native to Australia just as it is to New Zealand and their honey is just as pure as its cousin across the Tasman Sea.
Because of this question and the success of Manuka honey, there is much money at stake, and in regarding this debate, there are certain factors to consider. The honey is made by bees that pollenate the Leptospermum scoparium, a bush-like tree that grows in both New Zealand and Australia. While the NZ variety gets the most attention, Aussie beekeepers say their honey is also legitimate Manuka originating from the Leptospermum scoparium, leaving both sides with legs to stand on.

Beginning with a direct reference to the events of the 1992 original Candyman, Cambridge scholar Dr Phillip Purcell is on a book promotion tour in the US, and gives a lecture in New Orleans on the Candyman myth. His flippant and dismissive attitude doesn't go down well with the 'dark destroyer' and Dr Purcell is dead even before the opening credits roll. Candyman is back. The plot here attempts to put some flesh on the bones, as it were, on the idea (briefly offered up in the first film) that the Candyman was a New Orleans's slave tortured to death because of his love for a white woman. Meanwhile, police suspect Ethan Tarrant as a Candyman copycat murderer and responsible for the death of Dr Purcell, (Tarrant's father having been killed Candyman style a few years before). Ethan's sister Annie, is disturbed when her brother confesses to murder, believing him innocent and simply punishing himself for being unable to save his father. Circumstances place her in a similar position to the Helen Lyle character from the first film as she becomes the unwitting focus of Candyman's attentions. But why her in particular?
The New Orleans setting is utilised to good, atmospheric effect. Having been to New Orleans, it was good to see that the film presented this unique city with warts and all, and not just the overly familiar old town streets (the Bond film Live and Let Die springs to mind). The scenes of poverty and social decay recall the urban setting of Candyman and this new take on the legend definitely adds an extra eerie dimension - which genuinely does seem to hang in their air at times as anyone who has been to New Orleans can testify. We're told that carnival means 'farewell to the flesh' and the story inevitably builds to the annual Mardi Gras festival. Inconsistencies and familiar characterisation aside, the script isn't bad and goes to great lengths to explain the origins of Daniel Robitaille - the slave whose evil spirit lives on in Candyman. There are numerous period flashbacks which work well and the plot does hold your interest throughout even if it is less cerebral than the first film.
The sequence where Robitaille is brutally hunted down by the townsfolk and has his hand hacked off with a rusty blade is suitably horrendous and one cannot help but empathise with the victim. But logic breaks down as there is no real justification as to why this humble slave should suddenly be resurrected as the personification of evil and slaughter anyone who gets in his way. Moreover, why should he want to kill his descendants? Surely, he would have wanted them to fare better than he did? Overall, Farewell to the Flesh is pretty good a sequels go, and I don't understand why it is given such a hard time by many. Philip Glass again provides the excellent score (which is probably a re-worked version of his original) and the production values are first class as the whole thing looks sumptuous and, for my money, the New Orleans location is far better exploited by this than in, say, Interview With The Vampire. The climax is also far more satisfying than in Candyman and even the film poster artwork is also superior to the original. These plus points along with the non-urban city location also help distance this from what it essentially is, and that is just another stalk 'n' slash horror film sequel. It no only looks better than most of the competition it is better than most of the competition.

Take a deep breath when you read this: there are over 10,000 industrial chemicals in common skin care products. The average American adult is exposed to 168 hazardous chemicals each day. And everything applied to the skin, be it lip stick or deodorant, sun block or general skin care products are absorbed by the body, just like they’d been eaten.
Remember that scene in the second season of The Simpsons, in which Mr. Burns ran for Governor, and a three-eyed fish, affectionately called “Blinky”, mutated by the pollution from Burns’s own power plant, came back to haunt him?
The natural skin care movement gets stronger by the day, folks. And one of the more prominent players in this industry is argan oil. From the deserts of Morocco.
Argan oil is an extract of the Argania tree that once covered much of North Africa. Today the tree is endangered, and grows only in a UNESCO protected biosphere in Morocco. And considering that a litre of argan oil constitutes a full season of output from a single tree, argan oil is both rare and highly prized.
More over, the composition of argan oil is of particular interest to the anti-aging industry and to consumers looking for a natural alternative to common skin care products. With a hefty dose of fatty acids, antioxidants, polyphenols and a skin-loving 200% more vitamin E than olive oil, you can see why argan oil has been used for over 3,500 years, for health and for beauty.
Argan oil is versatile. In fact, many consumers dabble a small amount in their hair after a thorough cleanse, to treat split ends. You can also use argan oil to fade stretch marks, strengthen finger nails, reduce wrinkles and those fine lines from the sun.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol) – A powerful antioxidant, vitamin E reduces harmful free radicals and protects the skin from sun damage. Vitamin E also improves the skin’s ability to retain and use water.
Essential Fatty Acids – These keep your cells healthy and your skin plump, with the ability to re-form after stretching.
Oleic and Linoleic Acid – Essential for their anti-inflammatory properties and to help heal the skin.
Antioxidants – The body’s warriors that protect the skin from free radicals, sun damage, chemicals and pollution. If Blinky the Fish had more antioxidants, he might have avoided that trademark third eye.
Polyphenols – Protection from UV rays and aging from sun damage, polyphenols are anti-inflammatories and fight free radicals.
Squalene Oil – With similar functions to olive oil, squalene oil is a natural moisturizer, a powerful healer and is ideal for people with eczema and psoriasis.
Should You Use Argan Oil?
If all this has your attention, and you’re excited about argan oil and its many uses and healing properties, know this: you’re looking for argan oil in its purest form.
Indeed, it’s not uncommon for some of the larger skin care brands to dilute argan with additives and preservatives. Sometimes these products have in excess of 20 ingredients. All of which dilute the product and reduce the good things that argan can do.
Having said that, argan oil is called “liquid gold” for a reason. It’s rare, it’s potent, and with a track record over three millennia, it’s proven.
If you have dry skin, sensitivities to common skin care products, frizzy hair, wrinkles or stretch marks, or a general interest in natural skin care, then yes, argan oil holds value and is worth your purchase.
But remember that you’re looking for pure argan, undiluted with preservatives that degrade argan oil and the magic it does. Your best bet is to purchase argan oil in its pure form, from a major skin care name with minimal use of parabens and with discount packaging.
To that end, you might consider Skinception Cold Pressed Cosmetic Argan Oil, which offers the power of argan oil with the comfort of the Skinception name with a proven track record, live customer support, discount pricing and a firm, money-back guarantee.

The Buckeyes fall to 10-5 overall and 1-2 in Big Ten action while the Hoosiers improve to 11-3 (2-1 B1G).

Three other Buckeyes would also hit double figures in digs, led by Hannah Gruensfelder with 15. Camry Halm dug 13 balls and Bia Franklin notched 12.
As a team, Ohio State out-dug Indiana, 64-55, and out-blocked the squad by an 8-5 margin.
SET 1: Indiana got out to a furious start with a 9-4 lead. The Buckeyes moved in on the gap making it 13-11, to force the Hoosiers to call for time. Ohio State rallied for a 20-18 edge, but the visitors closed the set on a 7-1 run for a 25-21 decision.
SET 2: After falling behind early, the Buckeyes scored seven straight points to go ahead 12-7. The Hoosiers were unable to get any closer than five as Ohio State kept pounding away for a 25-18 winner. The home team hit .378 with 17 assists on 18 kills.
SET 3: The two teams kept it close, though The Ohio State Buckeyes found a need to burn a timeout as they were trailing 17-14. Out of the break, Indiana managed to hold Ohio State at arm’s length to take the set, 25-20.
SET 4: It was all Hoosiers – enough said – a 25-8 whipping.
The Buckeyes had desire in this one, but somewhere the light switch was flipped off. The Hoosiers shinned when it all mattered.
UP NEXT: The Buckeyes will be traveling to College Park to face Maryland at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Like many other interest rate-sensitive sectors in the stock and bond market, real estate investment trusts went through a tough patch in the third quarter. The persistent fear of a Federal Reserve increase in short-term rates sent share prices tumbling.
But, it appears the worst is over.
According to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), the 223 publicly traded equity and mortgage REITs saw a rebound in prices during September after a series of declining months.
Equity REITs, which own and operate real estate assets ranging from apartments to hotels to shopping centers and other properties, rose 2.13 percent in September compared to a 2.47 percent decline in the S&P 500 stock index.
The attraction to REITs for many investors is the dividend yield currently averaging 4.44 percent, well above the 2.1 percent return on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note.
Like bonds and other dividend-paying stocks, the possibility of rising interest rates often causes a decline in market value. Jitters caused by the mere mention of rising interest rates date back to 2013 when then Federal Reserve Board chairman Ben Bernanke warned there may be a pullback in Fed stimulus.
The result caused what was called a "taper tantrum." The Vanguard REIT exchange traded fund dropped almost 16 percent in just a few days.
Although things looked scary at the time, some analysts saw an opportunity.
"In hindsight, we should have seen what was coming after Bernanke's suggestion. The economy was reshaping itself nicely and the signal from the Fed served as a barometer of sorts. As a value investor, these are the kinds of opportunities I look for," said Brad Thomas, publisher of the online newsletter, "The Intelligent REIT Investor."
However, despite the recent rebound in REIT share prices, some companies feel the current market values do not represent the true worth of a company. As a result, many REITs are seeking out strategic alternatives.
BioMed Realty Trust, a San Diego-based REIT owning properties in the life science industry, announced on Thursday it will be acquired by Blackstone Real Estate Partners in a deal valued at $8 billion.
"We believe that the public markets are not adequately valuing our assets and proven business model. Entering into this transaction with Blackstone fulfills our board of director's mission to maximize stockholder value," said BioMed CEO Alan Gold.

The Arts & Spirituality Ministry provides opportunities to explore our creativity, and to experience and share our spiritual journey through creative expression.
There is a special relationship between art and spirituality. The arts have always been integral to religion. Sacred pictures, symbols, dances, chants, hymns and tunes have been used in rituals, in places of worship, and as aids to prayer and meditation in every religion. The arts seem to be natural vehicles for expressing or connecting with God. The arts can transmit our central beliefs and values of our religious faith. At Good Shepherd Episcopal Church the various Arts and Spirituality Ministries are a good way for an individual to strengthen one’s faith and to express it in a spiritual dimension. This creative expression and reflection provides tools for engaging others, as well as a sense of replenishment and joy for the individuals who participate. Community participation is encouraged.
Whether one joins one of the ministries primarily as a personal quest or to share in the fellowship of fellow artists, participation facilitates expression and strivings of the soul. The mediums of fiber, paint, paper, plants or film can be an appropriate channel for expressing and developing spirituality. The artist can use symbolic weight and the significance of various colors, textures and shapes to communicate the deepest thoughts, ideas and prayers.
Have a dream or idea for a new Arts and Spirituality Ministry? Share them with us. Contact Kathy Marcel, Chair.
You are welcome to join a fiber group meeting on the second Monday of the month at 10:00 am in the undercroft. Bring your knitting, crochet, sewing, handwork and your lunch. No dues, no agenda, probably no program, just a community gathering of fiber folk. You might pick up an idea or two. Invite your fiber friends.
This group meets the 4th Monday of each month at 10:00 am in the Dogwood Room. See the full description under Healing Ministries.
Think of this...we take a word "prompt" such as the word shoes, friend or books and this word triggers our group to write on that weekly prompt. We then share our stories at the next class, where you are asked to speak on your subject for 7 minutes. This exercise allows us to drive into our memory in different ways. We have also discovered that this establishes a sense of being safe, caring and just having a lot of fun together.
This is a time for fellowship for anyone interested in stamping with rubber stamps and all the other wonderful supplies that can be used in this creative endeavor. We meet the 3rd Wednesday of every month at l:00 pm in the undercroft. Newcomers are always welcome to join in with this fun group of people!
Photography entitles one to see into the sacred in Creation. Our world is afire with the Glory of God. Photography helps us find our way back into nature. Photography also helps those of us with natural deficit disorder. Discover the beauty that photography can bring about in your life!
Storytelling is vital for all of us. It is a means to preserve family history, inform and entertain others, share values and visions, and build our heartfelt reflections, discoveries and imaginations. From introducing ourselves, seeking a new job, relating family stories, entertaining others and making career-long presentations, stories help people build confidence, focus on what is important and be aware of listener reactions.

He'll look for another lawyer. What are you snickering about? Do you think this is pertinent? The boy caressed the girl's chin and kissed her cheek. From now on, let's study in the morning. This is not Hebrew. It's Yiddish. He failed the entrance exam. Apart from on rainy days, I always ride my bike to work. I've been very busy since this morning. The court's decision is final.
I hate Hartmann because reasons. I showed them the difference of ability. She went there by herself. So you were never in love with me. How many floors does that building have? I walk a lot. The meeting was attended by many. Vernon isn't so good at singing. She sounds very immature. This book, which I've read two times, was a present from Peter.
It would be nice if there were more money. "You can't stir your pot with your broom. That's not sanitary!" said the young witch. James hoped the train would be on time. This should be a lot of fun. I knew it would be hard. Thank you for your detailed explanation. Tough luck! He is out for promotion. Seeing these islands from the airplane, we thought that they were really beautiful. He gave up trying, when he might have succeeded.
His word can be summarized as follows. We spoke for around three hours. We've been good friends for years. The following day he was found dead in the bedroom. I feel like a bad person. I'm sorry, but I'd like to order. I had my headphones on so I didn't hear Robin enter the room. Valentin won't listen to Ned's advice. Welcome to our humble home. Dalton didn't want to go to the movie.
I'm real sorry to hear that. I saw a dog. Tatoeba now contains five hundred fifty-five Klingon sentences. What did they want? He was overcome by numbers. It's too early to get up. What do you mean? What do you want to tell me? All of us play the piano. Neither Bert nor Nhan likes eggplant very much. How long does a basketball game last?
Go sit down. I like him all the better for his diligence. Your fine, curly hair looks as appetizing as glass noodles. God is a circle whose circumference is a straight line. I saw them waiting in the lobby. Hungarian soups are usually light. Nine pounds of gold was needed to gild the victory medals. Ted and Suu were sitting next to each other on the plane. Her disappointment was apparent to everyone. Let's drink something?
So long as you have no proof, this conversation never happened. She was taken in by that fake gold certificate scandal and lost most of her money. I never said you were lying. Sergiu is a regular blood donor. About how many hours does it take by car? Maria never married. Why hast thou forsaken me? How old did Wade say he was? I need more time. Could you please keep an eye on Laura?
You've bought us some time. You need to understand how big this problem is. Lorien spent many hours using the language website, tatoeba.org, to improve his English. I would've had a good time. I need to lose five pounds. He smokes 3 packs a day. I don't know what Svante thinks. It's not easy to please Rajendra. There's not a moment to lose. Ozan lost his ticket.
I don't think it'll work out. Please turn off the light when you leave the room. You're a gentleman and a scholar. I don't want my son to join the special forces. Bud wouldn't let us help him. The identity is related to the place. Laurianne is making dinner. The police charged him with leaking information to a neighboring country. It's one less thing to worry about. My father expects me to marry Joel.
I get the feeling you're trying to tell me something. I felt afraid of being left alone, and for three whole days I wandered about the town in profound dejection, not knowing what to do with myself. We have no more in stock. Why should I be scared? He doesn't know the cares of raising children. We expect that it will rain today. Marek was severely beaten by the police. Certain creoles obtain an official status, for example like in Malaysia. They want to buy a new house and a new car. I like to chat with my pals after school.

I accomplished my military life in the Air Force a few years ago in Taiwan. Despite being a staff sergeant I never had the chance to fly because there were only very limited people will be selected and trained to be the pilots. However, I love to watch and capture these jets in the air, it reminds me the honour to being an Air Force soldier.

November is a time when us moms try to practice and preach the importance of giving thanks and having gratitude.
But when it comes to ourselves, do we really slow down and give intentional thanks and gratitude for this body we have?
The truth is, with the pressures women have to fit an ideal image — either pre-baby, during baby, post-baby, or beyond – the answer is probably no.

It is nice and motivating to see others made $300,000 on a single trade. Let’s be realistic. Is this something which your forex starting capital can handle? If it is, then how much are you leveraging? Be realistic on how much you want to make and what you can make.
Don’t let me trash your aspiration. It is true, that it is possible to return 100% in 4 weeks. Let me show you one of the live accounts that I managed. I chose this account to show because the trade size and margin utilisation will be what most new traders start with.
I would like to share a live account that was managed using Tflow® method, starting Jan 2015 till Feb 2015. The performance that you see here will not be your performance.
The accuracy was 60%, profit factor was 2.5.
From Jan 2015, where account balance starts at approximately $25,000, by end of the month, the balance was $57,000.

I recently acquired a drone. Well two actually. The first is somewhere off shore in the depths of the intercoastal water way near Tybee Island, but that’s a different story. The drone and its camera have given me an entirely new perspective for my photography. It has changed how I see light and objects that I photograph. The drone also gave me pause to consider perspectives I have been holding onto in my life. Today’s M5T looks at changing perspectives as motivated by a drone.
You can change your perspective by making choices, by shaking up the dusty parts of your life, by doing something completely different and unexpected. Choose courage over comfort. Choose to be bold in your choices… in what’s right for you. You have freewill – make the most of it and be prepared to accept the consequences for your choices. Let negative and caustic people go from your life. You can choose to be positive and to push negativity aside.
You have the option to either make progress or make excuses. Consider why your perspective is the way it is. You have the option to change; to broaden your horizons, your life experiences. Get out of your own way. Take a trip even if to a part of your city you’ve never seen. Pick up a book instead of sitting in front of a television or computer screen. You have an option of who you spend your time with. Recognize your options then seize them. You have the option to wake up earlier or to sleep in later. It’s on you to identify and act on opportunities that you encounter each and every day.
Know your worth and don’t discount yourself. Ever. Refuse to let others tell you what you are not. Act instead of being acted upon. Be victorious, not a victim. Value your time, money, yourself, and your true friends. Know yourself, then live who you are, live a life that moves you toward your dreams.
Don’t wait for opportunity, create it. There is always a way out with a changed perspective. You’re only stuck if you stop moving. Learn something new. Take some time to slow down – even stop – to look at what is going on around you, to look at the way light is falling. Dare to dream, and don’t be afraid to dream big. But don’t stop there. Be audacious. Make a conscious decision to create a life that moves you toward making your dreams your reality.
Evaluate what is holding you back. Consider the decisions you have to make. Gauge what is keeping from making decisions. Seek advice and counsel from those you trust. Be productive and avoid procrastination. Will the issue causing you to worry really matter tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, next decade? Embrace your failures and put those lessons learned to your benefit.
Here’s to a week of changed perspectives and moving forward in your life.

People living a very active lifestyle need to be very cautious of the impact that their lifestyle has on their body, so it is essential to keep a strict vigil over it. Traveling is one hobby that most people enjoy and indulge. But it can have severe repercussions on the body especially eh back and neck as when traveling sitting and sleeping positions can be entirely wrong making it uncomfortable. So before moving its always good to go to a chiropractor and have yourself checked so that you don't suffer if there are problems with your upper back and neck caused due to continued sitting.
The chiropractor is a physician or a doctor who generally deals with the treatment of the spine and neck. They usually deal with the spinal cord, and in case of misalignment, they rectify it to ensure that there is no pain or discomfort. The nervous system is vastly disturbed due to the pressure placed on the nerves, and this condition is caused due to the misalignment of the spinal cord. In short, the chiropractor manipulates the spinal cord to relieve the patient of the pain and ensures that the musculoskeletal system works fine and leaves you with no pain or discomfort.
Today many people have entered the job of the chiropractor and have taken it up as a profession. The licensed chiropractors can set up their own chiropractic practice, or work under an established chiropractor until they can handle the patient independently and become familiar with the health-related problems of the patient. To be able to be licensed, they need to earn the degree of Doctor of Chiropractic and then pass the examinations conducted by the concerned boards that grant them the license. Today several chiropractic colleges conduct different courses that range from the diplomas to the doctorates.
Chiropractors are found in all departments of health care, and if you want to Find a Chiropractor, you need to look up the Directory of Chiropractors to search them out. Since they are related to almost all departments of healthcare, they are listed according to their first names or last names, their departments and the specializations. You have options to check out the list of chiropractors from the Chiropractors Directory and choose the best that would suit you and your health problem. Since the chiropractic approach is that of health care that does not involve intake of medications nor does it entail the need for surgery. This makes it even more approachable by most people who do not like to consume medicines for fear of side effects and operations that involve many complications.
Changes in lifestyle, alignment of the spinal cord and other methods are followed for the treatment of ailments of the musculoskeletal system. This approach developed by chiropractors is usually focused on the spinal cord making it easy for people to accept this form of treatment. Receiving chiropractic care can help relieve back and neck pain and can be beneficial for individuals of all ages. Search for a chiropractor who is well reviewed and able to treat many different issues with the spine for the greatest pain relief. Your first visit should include a lot of discussion of where your pain is located when it first started, and any other health issues you may be dealing with.
A typical chiropractic adjustment differs based on the needs that each patient brings to the appointment. The methods used to realign the bones and joints are usually gentle and create a sense of relief, rather than pain. A chiropractic adjustment is appropriate even for pregnant women and children, in many situations. Be sure to speak with your chiropractor and ask any questions you have about your condition and the suggested treatment. Being able to relax properly for an adjustment is important, so understanding what will happen and why that course of treatment is recommended is essential. You may be surprised how much you learn about caring for your body in the process.
Can Chiropractors Help Manage Pain?
Sometimes, pain can be a sign of a more serious issue and see a chiropractor sooner can make a world of difference in the overall care and management of your pain. If you are experiencing discomfort along with a reduced range of motion in your neck, you may have the beginnings of arthritis, and sometimes a chiropractic adjustment may be able to stop the progression, allowing you to live a more pain-free life without the drug therapy that typically goes with arthritis.
Seeing a Chiropractor can help you heal yourself after experiencing a bad fall. It is interesting to note that back pain that goes away on its own will sometimes come back again and again until it is adequately addressed by having the spine realigned through a gentle chiropractic adjustment. The more chronic the issue, the more chiropractic treatments you might need to properly correct the problem, so be sure to share as much information as possible with your chiropractor to receive the best course of treatment for your particular situation.
When there's a pain in the neck, even the simplest tasks can turn into a real challenge. The neck is a vital region in our body since it connects body and head and having trouble with this link can seriously affect the functioning of both major segments. In case of pain has resulted from physical trauma or injury, it is quite likely that a doctor will prescribe painkiller medications to manage painful symptoms during recovery. However, drugs do not always provide full pain relief, and in some patients, they can even cause side effects, or worse yet, dependency. In cases like these, you would want to try a set of home remedies that can relieve your neck pain.
One of the most popular home remedies for neck pain is the use of cold. Putting some ice in a towel and holding it on the affected area for about 15 minutes will provide pain relief for some time. In this situation, cold helps to numb nerve endings and reduce the intensity of pain signals transmitted to the brain - a principle that painkillers like Ultram are based around. Another thermal home remedy is using heat to soothe neck pain. You can use a heating pad or lie in a bathtub with warm water for 20-30 minutes to experience some relief. In the case of applying heat, it acts as a muscle relaxant, which is quite useful for eliminating discomfort and pain in the neck after trauma.
Pain along with numbness, tingling, or weakness in your shoulder, arm, and even hand, might indicate a pinched nerve. Having an adjustment to get all the bones back in alignment might help un-pinch the nerve and correct that pain. One of the most common causes of pain in the neck that people usually are unaware of is their pillow. You may believe that the more significant and softer the pillow is - the better. However, if there's no proper foundation and the position of head and neck during sleep are awkward due to the pillow's shape or softness this will undoubtedly result in neck muscle spasms and painful sensations. That's why choosing the right pillow that will allow your head and neck to take natural positions and lift the pressure from them during sleep is an excellent way to avoid the need to take Ultram in the future.
Being aware of your posture and trying to keep your back straight and your neck in line with the back is one of the best preventive measures for both neck and back pain. Maintaining the right posture will help decrease the pressure from specific areas that are prone to experiencing problems such as neck and lower back. You should follow this guideline during all your physical activities, and especially when sitting or standing at rest or doing some job - this is when most people tend to break their normal posture and make it something that will ultimately result in neck or back pain.
The specialists who treat last health issues related to musculoskeletal systems are known as Chiropractors. Bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles make up this system, and the chiropractors treat the disorders related to these parts. The issues of back pain and neck torment are included in such ailments. Additionally, Chiropractors help in making out final treatment plans for the patients and furthermore invent diagnostic techniques and precautionary procedures. They mostly believe in the ideology system that spine issue can prompt other severe health problems.
If you need to improve the alignment of your Cervical Spondylosis, you need to consider visiting a skilled medical specialist like the chiropractors. These individuals know to eliminate the stress or strain on the spine and enable the body to recover from specific ailments. We need to admit that a few of us don't know the exact reasons for a misaligned spine. If this condition affects the body, it can experience pain in the neck, back, hips, legs, and knees.

Reliable chiropractors can eradicate the pain and swelling in merely couple of sessions that frequently last in few weeks or so. The treatment method also relies on the severity of the illness.
It is possible to feel some pain after initial treatment care; however, this is a healthy condition. One reason is that the spine has become used to its wrong position after the adjustments. In any case, after two or three sessions, the patient will begin to feel better. The joints, bones, and muscles will start to feel good and allow the flow of the blood effectively while enhancing the functionality of the immune system.

With the assistance of the chiropractors, you will have a strong immune system and can recover faster whenever you feel something isn't right in your physique. Chiropractors are known to use spinal manipulation in treating patients with spinal, tissues and joint issues. However, they additionally apply other treatment techniques other than this.
Spinal manipulation, which is also known as chiropractic or spinal alteration, is the general technique used by many chiropractors. Around 90% of chiropractors utilize this method, which is an inactive movement using the hands. By using spinal control, a chiropractor aids you with your issues concerning your spine. Also called spinal adjustments or chiropractic adjustments, this method makes use of the hands by giving sudden, forceful push that makes a popping sound. This technique helps in maximizing the range of the joints.
There might be different methods used by chiropractors, all things considered, they all have one goal, and that is - to bring wellness to each patient. Searching for the most reliable chiropractors is essential. In most cases, a misaligned spinal section affects the back, shoulder, and neck activating extreme pain. With the correct chiropractic specialists, you can improve this condition and begin to carry on with a normal life once more.
Spinal manipulation, which is also known as chiropractic or spinal adjustment, is the general method used by most chiropractors. About 90% of US chiropractors use this method, which is an inactive movement using the hands. By using spinal manipulation, a chiropractor helps you with your issues concerning your spine. Also called spinal adjustment or chiropractic adjustment, this technique makes use of the hands by giving a sudden, forceful push that creates a popping sound. This method helps in maximizing the range of motion of the joints.
Other methods used by a chiropractor in treating spinal problems are: -The diversified technique utilizes different adjustive methods to identify subluxations to generate vertebral joint movements.
-Activator method makes use of a handheld device to evaluate a mal-positioned vertebra to bring it back to its original position.
The Gonstead method is used to correct sacral and pelvic subluxations and to align any inferior subluxations in the spine. These are identified by using a skin-temperature device and motion palpation that is verified by an x-ray of the spine.
The Sacro-occipital method consists of examining and correcting the sacral and cranial deformations so that the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid will improve.
Atlas Orthogonal technique/method (AOT) is used to correct any subluxations in the cervix that is said to create problems in the body.
Applied Kinesiology method is used to test muscle strength to identify the incidence of vitamin deficiency, disease, and other health issues.
Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique/Method (B.E.S.T.) consists of quantifying the length of the leg to identify any imbalances in the body's electromagnetic field. The chiropractor places his hands on specific "contact points" where electromagnetic energy emanating from his hands is transferred to the patient to correct the problem.
Pierce-Stillwagon method is comparable to the Sacro-Occipital way. Cervical and pelvic movements are made to create results in the distant joints, muscles, and organs. Thorough Pelvis examination would require X-ray of the spine. It also uses Derma Therm-O-Graph, a heat-detecting device to keep an eye on subluxation improvement.
Nimmo method utilizes digital force on trigger areas to calm down muscles that cause the misalignment of the vertebrae.
Leander's method makes use of a motorized table to loosen or activate the spine with flexion-distraction-type stretching before spinal manipulation.
Logan method uses thumb pressure to correct sacral subluxations as well as leg deficits that is said to affect the spine.
Meric method is a chiropractic scheme claiming that specific spinal joints are related to specific organs necessitating the alignment of the particular vertebrae for specific illnesses.
There may be various techniques used by chiropractors. Nevertheless, they all have one objective, and that is - to bring wellness to every patient. Thus, having a chiropractor near me is not good enough; you should verify all the aspects and then decide to consult them or not.

ICD Code Q69 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the four child codes of Q69 that describes the diagnosis 'polydactyly' in more detail.
Polydactyly or polydactylism (from Greek πολύς (polys), meaning "many", and δάκτυλος (daktylos), meaning "finger"), also known as hyperdactyly, is a congenital physical anomaly in humans, dogs, and cats having supernumerary fingers or toes. Polydactyly is the opposite of oligodactyly (fewer fingers or toes).

Using the patient experience to develop a model of care for breast cancer follow-up.
Improvements in early detection and treatment of breast cancer and the reduction in mortality rates have led to an expansion in the numbers of patients accessing breast cancer follow-up clinics (Montgomery and Dixon 2008). This has resulted in a need to review follow-up services to address the current situation to the best effect (Burnet, Chapman, Wishart and Purushotham 2004). To meet the aims of the Cancer Plan (Department of Health (DOH) 2000) and more recently the Cancer Reform Strategy (DOH 2007) as well as the needs of the patients a reconfiguration and development of existing services at the study site was required.
The primacy of the stakeholder’s views was the driving force behind the research design. The research approach was used to involve the views of the patients, GPs, the clinical team and key people based in the NHS Trust. A focus group was used to identify the issues for patients and one-to-one interviews with GPs. These themes informed the patient and GP questionnaires. Key Informant interviews were conducted with members of the Multidisciplinary team (MDT) and key members of the clinical team.
The study outlines the nature of breast cancer follow-up services and the complexities associated with a diagnosis of cancer. This is from both the psychological and physical perspective and the impact it has on patients. Key themes emerge from the data about the breast cancer service as it is delivered at present and the expectations and perceived value of breast cancer follow-up. The involvement of the patients as key stakeholders ensured that their voices were heard alongside those of both hospital and primary care staff.
Themes from the questionnaires, focus group and key informant interviews concurred with each other. The need for reassurance that the cancer had been treated and participants were well was very important in breast cancer follow-up. Another important element was the continuity of care and the relationship with the MDT (multidisciplinary team). A good relationship instilled confidence in the patient’s management rather than continual questioning requiring the same clinical information from the patient. Following a diagnosis of cancer and a period of uncertainty, confidence in the team was paramount. The vulnerability of the women was discussed, due to the sexual nature of the breast examination and the fear of recurrence caused women a lot of anxiety. Moreover the importance of the examination to the women was discussed and the importance of consistency in examination technique. Therefore communication between the MDT and the patients about treatment, health education and the opportunity for the women to talk and ask questions helped to reduce anxiety.
All stakeholders discussed a model of shared care but aspects of patient management and resources would need to in place to ensure safe practice. GPs did highlight some disadvantages to hospital based follow-up such as long waits, travel and lack of continuity. There was also dispute between hospital clinicians about clinical expertise and the transfer of care to community services. This was also raised by GPs and an element of developmental work would need to develop in a new model of care. The patients wanted to be seen at hospital but were not averse to being seen in the community setting.
To conclude the study findings concurred with the literature related to reassurance gained from attending follow-up clinics. However, NICE (2002) do not appear to take into account the views of the users and the importance of this element of multifaceted cancer care. As at the time of diagnosis of cancer there is time to make a decision, in follow-up there should be set junctures at which to discuss living and coping mechanisms. It may be at the end of cancer treatment some patients will require more follow-up than others. Follow-up may need to be individualised where some patients are discharged but others require more support thus moving away from the exact same follow-up programme for all as happens now.

Cambodia is seeking Vietnamese investment to build factories that can process rubber and cassava, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
During a meeting last week with a Vietnamese rubber association, Minister of Agriculture Veng Sakhon reminded Vietnamese investors of the many opportunities that the Cambodian agricultural sector offers and asked them to come to the kingdom to establish rubber and cassava processing factories.
“There is great potential in our agricultural sector, but we have few processing factories in the country due to the high cost of electricity and the capital investment required,” said Hean Vanhan, the director-general of the General Directorate of Agriculture, who was part of the Cambodian delegation visiting Vietnam.
Mr Vanhan said Vietnamese investors would be bringing with them more advanced technologies that could help develop the local rubber sector.
Cambodia produced 115,843 metric tonnes of rubber during the first nine months of 2017, an increase of 33 percent compared with the same period last year, according to official figures from the Ministry of Agriculture.
Vietnam and Malaysia were the main markets for Cambodian rubber.
Pol Sopha, the director-general of the Rubber Department at the Ministry of Agriculture, who did not attend the meeting, said the government is now prioritising building rubber factories as a way to boost employment in the country.
“We have few rubber processing factories in the country and the government wants to build more to keep the price of the commodity stable,” Mr Sopha said.
Lim Heng, the vice-president of An Mady Group, said Vietnamese investors could play an important role in advancing the local rubber sector.
“It is good if Vietnamese investors come because they will bring more advanced technologies, as well as recognisable brands,” he said.
The government is also working on opening the Chinese market to direct rubber exports, as now shipments of rubber need to go through Vietnam, according to Mr Sopha.

What are you doing sneaking around out there?
Possibly from Middle English sniken (“to creep, crawl”), though the OED doubts this, or from 古期英語 snīcan (“to desire, reach for sneakily”), from Proto-Germanic *snīkaną, which is related to the root of snake.
One who sneaks; one who moves stealthily to acquire an item or information.
My little brother is such a sneak; yesterday I caught him trying to look through my diary.
I can't believe I gave that sneak $50 for a ticket when they were selling for $20 at the front gate.
(US) A sneaker; a tennis shoe.
We would have been laughed off the street in Philadelphia if we were seen wearing sneaks. In the big city, the young population wore loafers or boots.

During the initial entradas by Spanish conquistadores along the mainland coast of Mesoamerica, Spanish forces infrequently encountered strong military resistance from indigenous populations. One prominent exception to this rule was the early expedition led by the conquistador Francisco Hernández de Córdoba in 1517. Sailing from Cuba, this ill-fated entrada explored the northern and western coasts of the Yucatán Peninsula before making at stop at the mouth of the Río Champotón to collect drinking water. During their stopover the Spaniards encountered fierce opposition from local warriors led by the Moch Couoh, cacique of the Maya polity of Chanpeten/Chakanputun. During this confrontation, the Spanish suffered heavy losses, leading to the cancellation of the expedition and the eventual death of Córdoba himself. Following this conflict, Champotón was referred to as the Báhia de la Mala Pelea (“Bay of the Bad Fight”).
Ethnohistoric sources provide a wealth of information about the ancient port city of Champotón due to it's location and unique local history. Unlike most Contact Period population centers in the humid lowlands of the Gulf Coast – many of which were depopulated due to a combination of epidemic diseases and oppression – Champotón remained an important settlement through the upheavals of the Spanish Conquest. While continuous occupation has had a major impact on the architecture and layout of the pre-Hispanic urban center, this unique history has resulted in a rich corpus of ethnohistoric accounts about the urban center, economy, and regional political landscape at the moment of contact.
The regional state of Champotón/Chakanputun encompassed the area from Seybaplaya to the north to the province of Tixchel, located on edge of the Laguna de Terminos in the south. The seat of the regional state was located at the mouth of the Río Champotón. The major secondary centers in the Champotón polity included Yulumal (Ulumal), Haltunchén, Zihochac (Sihochac), Dzaptún (Seybaplaya), Zahcabchen (Dzacabuchen), and Holail Most of these places were incorporated into the Encomienda of Champotón in the colonial period and later the Municipio of Champotón.
The most detailed accounts about the form and layout of the city were from the second Spanish expedition into Champotón led to Francisco de Montejo in 1530. Sources from this entrada described the city as a large port center with over 8,000 houses. As a point of reference, the same author reported smaller populations for several important Contact Period centers, including five thousand houses at the town of Conil, two thousand at Chetumal, and less than one thousand at Acalan.
….dentro de la mar, a tres tiros de ballesta o un cuarto de legua, está un islote hecho a mano en que hay 10 ó 12 gradas de alto, sobre la superficie del agua, y sobre alla una torre bien alta de piedra y muy bien labrada; estaba llena de ídolos y allí honraban y celebraban a su dios de la pesquería; en aquella torre tenían muchas cabezas secas de grandes pescado colgados.
….within the sea, at three shots of a crossbow or a quarter of a league, there is a man-made island that is 10 to 12 grades in eight above the surface of the water, and above that a very high tower built of stone and very well built; it was full of idols, and there they honored and celebrated their god of fishing; in that tower they were hung many dried heads of large fish.
The Champotón regional state at Spanish contact. From Arnabar Gunam (2003), adpated from Molis Solis (1943).
Spanish depiction of the battle of the Báhia de la Mala Pelea (“Bay of the Bad Fight”). Original source unknown, reproduced from Arnabar 2005:52.
Artist’s representation Contact Era Champotón, with the oft-cited offshore temple. The causeway connecting the temple to the shore has not been identified archaeologically. Unknown artist, adapted from Arnabar 2005:30.
Landa (Tozzer 1941:26, note 140) also mentions a similar temple dedicated to the deity Kukulkan, erected in honor of his passing through Champotón. The remains of this structure are still visible on a small island located offshore from the mouth of the river.
Spanish accounts of Champotón describe a substantial urban capital. Based on normal methods for population estimates, the accounts of Dávila and Las Casas would indicate a population of 40,320 people. This population estimate is entirely dependent on the accuracy of the figure of 8,000 houses. However, the latter figure would be somewhat consistent with Dávila’s account in which 15,000 people that purportedly came meet the second group of Spanish conquistadors as they approached the city. One major problem with this estimate is the potential for exaggeration of the size of Champotón, especially given the earlier defeat suffered by the Hernández de Córdoba expedition.
This estimate follows typical standards of population reconstruction used in the Maya Lowlands, based on the assumption of an average family size of 5.6 individuals (Redfield and Villa Rojas, 1934) and a accounting for 90% occupation of extant residential structures. This method produces a relatively conservative estimate of population, and represents middle ground in different approaches to population estimates from archaeological settlement survey data.

TL; DR: For more than 11 years, Giveaway of the Day has been a marketing resource for developers and a supplier of free software to end users. Negotiating with software companies to arrive at win-win promotions both sides are happy with, GOTD hosts free, fully licensed applications and games for 24-hour periods. Its community of users get free software, while developers put their products in front of an audience of 100,000 daily visitors and receive valuable feedback they can use to improve their work. The site, which is now translated into 12 languages, has evolved to offer free software for Windows, Android, iPhone, and a category for games, with plans to add Mac applications in the future.
Imagine you’re an up-and-coming software programmer, and you’ve spent months on developing an RPG that you believe could give some of the more established software giants a run for their money. However, you’ve run into one major problem: Nobody has ever heard of you or your game.
You’ve spent all of your time and resources on this new product and don’t have much left in the bank to launch a promotional campaign to get the word out about it. This is where a site like Giveaway of the Day (GOTD) becomes invaluable in shining a spotlight on new applications, preventing them from getting lost in the shuffle of a competitive market.
While GOTD often helps newer software companies market products, it also lends a hand to more established software companies like AVG, Ashampoo, CyberLink, IObit, Panda Security, and Reallusion in drawing attention to their latest offerings. With more than 300 million unique visitors over the past 11 years, GOTD estimates it’s distributed close to 1 billion licenses.
Giveaway of the Day helps software developers promote their work through daily freebies.
GOTD receives more than 100,000 unique visitors a day who are eager to download new games and applications, which are available for free with the caveat that they must be downloaded and installed within a 24-hour period. Users find out about giveaways by checking the site daily or signing up for notifications, and they gain access to free download links by sharing the link to GOTD’s Facebook page or requesting a link via email.
To prevent illegal dissemination and encourage later sales to users who love a game or application, the free versions on GOTD come with built-in safeguards to prevent piracy and don’t include the free technical support or software updates that come with paid editions.
While the benefit is clear to end users, partnering with GOTD serves three key purposes for developers: instant exposure, valuable feedback from users that can be used to improve future versions of applications, and the ability to advertise up to five other products by the same publisher alongside the free software.
Software, like most things in life, is rarely perfect on the first try, and early customer feedback goes a long way in pointing out modifications that can take apps from good to great. In fact, many software publishers spend heavily on software testing and survey distribution for this same feedback — a cost that partners of GOTD can largely avoid. Many GOTD promotions receive thousands of comments, which can contain valuable feedback for developers.
When GOTD started in 2006, the site was giving away lifetime licenses with the same current rules of no free support or updates. As the SaaS (Software as a Service) model began gaining traction in the industry, GOTD decided it needed to evolve to meet modern distribution needs.
“As time passed and the subscription-based model was becoming increasingly adopted by many software developers, we decided it was high time we considered alternative giveaway methods, as well,” GOTD told us of changes to its business model.
Now, GOTD is more flexible with its partners, including limiting the number of licenses for a particular application or giving away extended trial versions, which are usually good for at least a year. The goal is arriving at a win-win scenario for both GOTD and its partners, ensuring they are achieving their marketing goals.
Piracy is a natural concern when handing out software installation files, but the GOTD team developed a system that prevents users from installing software after the 24-hour promotional period.
“Unlike other giveaway websites, we do not bundle installation files with additional components, so our community enjoys ad-free and virus-free experience with any software titles they get from our website,” GOTD told us.
While many of GOTD’s promotions are with longtime partners, the team is always actively looking for new software companies to feature on the site. Developers who are interested in marketing through the site can contact them through the GOTD Facebook page or by sending the team an email to discuss campaign opportunities.
“We are open to any promotional ideas that developers come up with and are always ready to find a suitable solution for any company,” GOTD told us.
After negotiating a mutually beneficial deal with a software publisher or developer, the GOTD team settles on the ideal date for the giveaway, and its editors prepare a promotion page to be approved by the developer before the release.
After the giveaway, GOTD provides results from the promotion so the software company gets a clear picture of statistics, including estimated number of downloads, number of visitors, and Google Analytics reports.
In recent years, the site has been looking to expand its reach by partnering with more indie game studios with plans to ramp up game giveaways. So this is an ideal time to bring that RPG you developed to GOTD. Within a 24-hour time frame, you can get your game in front of 100,000 users, generating some serious buzz while working out early bugs through their feedback.
GOTD was a success early on and eventually cracked the top 1,000 most visited websites, according to Alexa rankings in September of 2011. However, the team is more concerned with creating long-term partnerships than boosting numbers.
GOTD hosts separate giveaways for iPhone and Android apps, serving a larger audience of users and developers.
With users and software developers all over the world, the GOTD team saw the demand for a multilingual site. Since its inception, the site has been translated into 12 languages (English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Turkish, Greek, and Romanian). And since not everyone uses the same operating system or device, the site has also evolved to offer giveaways that go beyond Windows, including game giveaways and applications for Android devices and iPhones.

The adaptive Helmholtz resonator for decreasing harmonic pulsating pressure in a low-pressure\nhydraulic system is presented in this study. Adaptivity is executed by both open loop and closed\nloop controls so that continuous -20dB attenuation of the peak-to-peak value of the amplitude of\npressure is reached.\nThe study begins by a theory review including the theory of effective bulk modulus, sound\nvelocity measurements, adjustable dynamic vibration absorbers and control methods of dynamic\nvibration absorbers. The main target of the paper, the Helmholtz resonator, is presented in its own\nchapter, albeit it is noted to be one application of the dynamic vibration absorber. The review is\ncompleted by the analytical model of the hydraulic pipe with a T-filter or Helmholtz resonator.\nAfter the theory review, the test equipment and its characteristics are presented. The main parts\nof the test equipment were a main pipe and an adjustable Helmholtz resonator, which were both\ndeveloped for this study. Certain properties of the hydraulic oils used were determined\nexperimentally to increase understanding of the system.\nThe experimental section includes sound velocity measurements, sonic bulk modulus\ndefinitions, measurements of the resonant frequencies of the adaptive Helmholtz resonator in the\ntest equipment, and tests of the open loop and closed loop control of the resonator. Control is\nverified to maintain -20dB attenuating of pressure pulsations in the system.\nThe presented Helmholtz resonator and controls are available for installation into a hydraulic\nsystem to damp out harmonic vibrations at low frequency. For example, the roll in the size press\nof a paper machine might become excited to vibrate at its resonance frequency after the paper wad\nhas washed through the nip. In that case, tuned Helmholtz resoAnators in the hydraulic cylinders of\nthe size press would damp out the pulsating pressures, and if the resonators are adaptive, as\npresented in this study, they can operate in a wider frequency range.

A federal district court recently ruled that an employer who failed to timely withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes (FICA taxes) on nonqualified deferred compensation (NQDC) in accordance with the special timing rule was liable to plan participants for the reduced value of their future benefit distributions. Davidson v. Henkel Corp., 2015 WL 74257 (E.D. Mi. 1/06/15).
In Davidson, a class action, the named plaintiff was a former employee and participant (Participant) in the employer’s NQDC supplemental restoration retirement plan, a top-hat plan under ERISA (Plan). In 2003, the Participant retired and commenced receiving monthly benefit distributions from the Plan. Subsequently, in 2011, the employer informed the Participant that it had not followed the special timing rule with respect to benefits earned under the Plan and that all future benefit distributions to the Participant would be subject to FICA taxes.
Had the employer timely applied the special timing rule when the participant retired in 2003, the Participant would have owed Medicare taxes (1.45%) on the present value of all future benefit distributions from the Plan. The Participant, however, would not have owed any additional Social Security taxes (6.2%), as his wages for 2003 had already exceeded the Social Security wage limit. Additionally, under the non-duplication rule, the Participant would not be liable for FICA taxes on future benefit distributions from the Plan in any subsequent year.
Taxes. For each Plan Year in which a Deferral is being withheld or a Match is credited to a Participant’s Account, the company shall ratably withhold from that portion of the Participant’s compensation that is not being deferred the Participant's share of all applicable Federal, state or local taxes. If necessary, the Committee may reduce a Participant’s Deferral in order to comply with this Section.
Based on this provision, the court reasoned that the employer was contractually obligated to timely withhold FICA taxes under the special timing rule when they became due in 2003. Accordingly, the court found that the employer’s actions caused the Participant to lose the benefit of the nonduplication rule and thereby owe more FICA taxes than the Participant would have otherwise owed had the employer timely withheld FICA taxes when they were due.
Review Existing Tax Withholding and Reporting Procedures - Without a doubt, the most important action item an employer can undertake is to annually review its compliance with the tax withholding and reporting obligations for NQDC benefits, including the special timing rule.
Review Plan’s Terms to Determine if Revisions are Advisable - In light of the Davidson decision, employers who sponsor NQDC plans should review the provisions of existing arrangements to determine whether any revisions are necessary or advisable.
Tax Withholding Provisions - While most NQDC plans commonly grant the employer the right to withhold any applicable taxes, it may be advisable to modify overly broad language that contractually obligates the employer to withhold taxes at the earliest permissible date.
Section 409A Administrative Provisions – Recognizing that significant additional taxes can be imposed on participants in connection with a violation of Section 409A, participants may attempt to apply the logic of the Davidson case to recover for reduced benefits in connection with a violation of Section 409A. Accordingly, employers should consider adding a provision to their NQDC plans (or modify existing provisions) that expressly relieves the employer and its affiliates from any and all tax liability and/or reduction in benefits that could arise or occur in connection with a violation of Section 409A.
On a final note, it is important to remember that a right to NQDC can be created under a variety of different arrangements (e.g., employment agreements, restricted share unit awards (RSUs), performance share unit awards (PSUs), phantom stock arrangements, change of control severance agreements, etc.). Accordingly, employers must be vigilant and address not only each current NQDC arrangement, but also any new NQDC arrangement that may be implemented in the future.
2While Treas. Reg. § 31.3121(v)(2)-1(a)(2)(ii)(A) provides that an employer is required to take into account wages under the special timing rule, the regulations also provide alternative reporting and withholding procedures to be followed when an employer fails to follow the special timing rule. Accordingly, in light of the fact that the regulations provide alternative procedures, the Court determined that the application of the special timing rule is not mandatory.

After the bible study on Thursday at the church, we went and ate at a pizza buffet. From left to right around the table, Allen, Robin, Laura( who is 15) Will, Justin, Tyler( who is 17), Jemma, Amy and Bill. They had a ton of different kinds of pizza. This was my favorite, shredded zucchini and tomatoes. They don’t put very much tomato sauce in the pizzas at this restaurant.
This was a dessert pizza. It was pineapple. Some of the kinds they served were, beef stroganoff, corn, filet mignon, shrimp, broccoli, salmon, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, chicken, sausage (Brazilian style), tuna, 4 cheese, arugala, spinach, and lots of others.
Then there was dessert pizza. Chocolate with strawberry, chocolate, strawberry ice cream pizza, dulce de leche, vanilla ice cream pizza, and caramelized banana. Can’t think of any others.
The boys loved it. They brought all the pizza to us, instead of going to it like at CiCi’s.
This bible study is takes place at the church building on Thursday night. The previous bible studies were on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Alisson is the other minister, also by with Allen. Alisson led the bible study. This week’s topic was on patience.
There was 43 people in attendance.
The room was very crowded.
After the bible study, Edenedes was baptized by Allen.
She attends one if the bible studies on Friday night.
This bible study was in another city called Paulinia. It was in the home of Christian and Angela. The man in the yellow shirt from the night before also came and he is sitting in front of the brick pillar with his wife on his left.
JoseMarie and Maeri came from Cosmopolis. Christian was in Cosmopolis on business and visited JoseMarie. They invited each other to their bible studies since their cities are close.
Robin usually sits next to me and interprets.
After the bible study there was a birthday party for Christian and Angela’s second daughter. They have 3.
There is nine bible study groups that meet every week. They are led by members of the Guanabara church of Christ. This one met in a suburb of Campinas, called Cosmopolis. This one met in a very nice garage.
The older couple in this picture own the business where it was held. Their names are Josemarie and Maeri.
Allen Dutton is sitting next to them. He actually led the study that night. The gentleman in the yellow shirt and his wife to his right are visitors. This is their second or third time to attend. They have been to church twice. The bible studies have been meeting for 2 years. They started off with 5 groups and now they have 9.
The kids didn’t go with us this night due to transportation issues. Robin didn’t like to drive if there isn’t any street lights and it was a ways to get out there and no street lights.
Our bible class took up a collection of money for us to bring things to the orphanage. We brought bubbles, side walk chalk, clothes, hats, match box cars, beanie babies, and many other things. The director of the orphanage is on the far left.
One of the things we brought for the boys is wash clothes that are in a tight ball and when u put them in water they expand to a regular size wah clothe. They really enjoyed watching them “grow”.
The little boy that Jemma is talking to is going to be adopted soon! I was holding the same little boy in the top picture.
The little boy with the glasses loved Justin. He is probably going to go live with his grandma along with his 2 sisters. He saw his dad kill his mother, very sad story.
Justin and Jemma enjoying some futbol ( soccer).
This boy is using the bubbles as a soccer ball.
This is some of the other kids after they got home from school and one of the workers.
We are in Brazil on a mission trip. The missionaries we are working with is Robin and Allen Dutton. Their children are Tyler and Laura. Tyler will start at OC the same time Will does. Laura is about 2 months younger than Justin. We have known Robin and Allen since we were students at OC.
This is one of dad’s bulls. In the past he’s only had black ones.
He still has two black bulls.
Here’s another picture of one of my dad’s bulls. I just don’t know if this is the same bull as above or not.
When we were on the farm, Jemma and I helped my dad, brother, and my nephew (way up on top) change the belts in my dad’s big round baler.
Jemma is holding on to the rope that is attached to one of the belts.
Before dad could bale the hay he had to rake the rows together. This also helps to dry the hay out, so it can be baled.
Here is his baler and tractor at work.
This is the bale after it comes out of the baler.
Usually the bales are bigger, but the field he was baling was small and that’s all the hay there was to bale.
Jemma and I have been to the zoo twice in the last two weeks with my sister and her two children.
This is the baby boy rhino that was born June 21st.
I took a selfie with one of the larikeet.
This bear has a paw across his eyes as if he is stressed out. I thought it was funny.
My sister and niece checked out the sting rays and very small sharks.
Jemma and I tried to take selfies with my nephew.
They also ride the carousel.
Over the 4th of July our family went to a family reunion in SW Missouri. One afternoon my mom, Justin, Jemma and I walked down to a near by river.
Justin and Jemma sat with their feet in the water.
Justin decided to check out how deep it was. It wasn’t very deep.
Our family hasn’t had a reunion in 10 years. My kids had a good time at the reunion but they had a hard time not doing our regular 4th of July activities in Edmond.
Jemma is learning how to skip rocks at a different location on the river from my dad’s cousins.
Will didn’t go with us because he was working.

I love the cartoon adventure walk troughs written / drawn by Jason Thompson and released on the web by WotC. They are charming, deadly, funny and often accurate as all hell. I'd love to frame them all.
I plan on buying at least two of them to spice up the old game room.
I bought the entire set of them (other than this new one). They're worth the money, in my opinion. It's the kind of D&D tie-in merchandise I'd like to see more of.

With Spring on the horizon (we hope), it’s a perfect time to start thinking about getting out those dusty gardening gloves and spades and get to work on your personal springtime welcome! As you ponder on all the ways you might be able to add enchantment and wonder to your garden this year…maybe pink azaleas or yellow tulips or white roses or even purple hyacinth…you might want to stop by JW’s Nursery as they will most definitely be able to assist in creating your perfect little sanctuary.
JW’s Nursery has been lending their landscaping expertise to the Woodward and surrounding communities since 1989. Whether it be a personal sanctuary or taking care of that stubborn crab grass problem for good, owner, Jason Covalt, utilizes his Bachelor's Degree in Landscape Architecture from Oklahoma State University as well as his passion for creating unique items for each customer to assist in your every need. A strong focus on customer service is something JW’s employees pride themselves on. Oftentimes a customer might come in with a specific vision in mind. Jason will take the time to listen to the customer and create a personalized landscaping design for them. Jason says “My favorite thing to do is to take a concept from a customer, draw up a landscape, present it to them and see their face light up. After that, of course, my favorite thing is to bring that idea to life starting from the design concept to the final product.” Jason has even driven by old projects just to see how they have progressed through the years.
JW’s is not only a great place to get a personalized landscaping design. It also lends its assistance to that home gardener that might be looking for particular seeds or maintenance materials. One of the bestselling items for March is actually crab grass control…which can take care of sandburs and, as many people in Northwest Oklahoma know, can be a huge problem when you are striving for that perfect lawn! JW’s also has a variety of selections of pots and planters (our favorite was a beautiful natural rock turned into a planter!).
If you are more interested in the decorating aspect of your garden, JW’s also has a variety of beautiful and, again, unique garden, indoor and outdoor décor. They have a great selection of seasonal garden sculptures and items to make any garden come to life. JW’s prides itself on bringing unique items to their customers throughout every season. During the Christmas season, JW’s is full of beautiful Christmas embellishments alongside large Christmas trees that Jason personally decorates. JW’s Christmas creations have even caught the eye of Discover Oklahoma who will be featuring JW’s Nursery in December 2016.
When asked what he wants his customers to know about JW’s, Jason said, “Flowers, plants and sculptures might not be one of the top primary survival needs alongside food, shelter and water, but, it does make life a little easier to handle when you can come home to something that makes you smile and relax a little.” With that being said, the pursuit of happiness is really what we are all after in the end isn’t it?

The ldapsearchprefs.conf file contains information used by LDAP when searching the directory. Blank lines and lines that start with a hash ('#') character are treated as comments and ignored. Non-comment lines contain one or more tokens. Tokens are separated by white space, and double quotes can be used to include white space inside a token.
Search preferences are typically used by LDAP-based client programs to specify what a user may search for, which attributes are searched, and which options are available to the user.
The current version is 1, so the above example is always the correct opening line.
specifies a label for a search preference designed to find X.500 entries for people.
The next line specifies a list of options for this search object. The only option currently allowed is "internal" which means that this search object should not be presented directly to a user. Options are placed in the so_options member of the ldap_searchobj structure and can be tested using the LDAP_IS_SEARCHOBJ_OPTION_SET() macro. Use "" if no special options are required.
The next line specifes a label to use for "Fewer Choices" searches. "Fewer Choices" searches are those where the user's input is fed to the ldap_filter routines to determine an appropriate filter to use. This contrasts with explicitly-constructed LDAP filters, or "More Choices" searches, where the user can explicitly construct an LDAP filter.
can be used by LDAP client programs to label the field into which the user can type a "Fewer Choices" search.
would cause only entries containing the object class person to be returned by a search. Note that parentheses may be unbalanced here, since this is a filter prefix, not an entire filter.
would tell the client program to use the set of LDAP filters from the ldap filter configuration file tagged "x500-People".
Note that the values defined so far in the file are defaults, and are intended to be overridden by the specific search options that follow.
The next line specifies the scope of the LDAP search to be performed. Acceptable values are subtree, onelevel, and base.
"Common Name" cn 11111 "" ""
"Surname" sn 11111 "" ""
"Business Phone" "telephoneNumber" 11101 "" ""
Each line represents one method of searching. In this example, there are three ways of searching - by Common Name, by Surname, and by Business Phone number. The first field is the text which should be displayed to user. The second field is the attribute which will be searched. The third field is a bitmap which specifies which of the match types are permitted for this search type. A "1" value in a given bit position indicates that a particular match type is valid, and a "0" indicates that is it not valid. The fourth and fifth fields are, respectively, the select attribute name and on-screen name for the selected attribute. These values are intended to override the defaults defined above. If no specific values are specified, the client software uses the default values above.
In this example, there are five ways of refining the search. For each method, there is an LDAP filter suffix which is appended to the ldap filter.
The following example illustrates one possible configuration of search preferences for "people".
"Common Name" cn 11111 "" ""
"Surname" sn 11111 "" ""
"Business Phone" "telephoneNumber" 11101 "" ""
"E-Mail Address" "mail" 11111 "" ""
"Uniqname" "uid" 11111 "" ""
In this example, the user may search for People. For "fewer choices" searching, the tag for the ldapfilter.conf(4) file is "x500-People".

Does anyone know if restraining orders affect being hired by airlines or causes issues entering Canada or the Bahamas?
Legally a restraining order is not any sort of conviction, arrest, or criminal charge. In a legal sense it is more of an abundance of caution, since there is little due process involved.
I've never heard of anyone being asked about a restraining order at an interview. It does not fall into the usual category of questions that employers may ask, and it may very well be illegal to ask depending on the state.
I would find out if restraining orders in the jurisdiction in question are a matter of public record and whether they can be easily found in a search of court records. If they can only be found by searching the name of the plaintiff, then it would be hard for anyone to learn that an order had been filed against a given restrainee.
But with all that said...what the &%*% dude!?!?! Whatever you did to earn a restraining order is NOT the sort of behavior that employers expect of pilots. You had better hope this doesn't wind up on social media...maybe best to close your FB account at this time.
Wow dude. U need to fix something in that head of yours.
A restraining order is a tactic used by divorce lawyers to get their client an advantage against the other spouse. An angry phone call could be all he did wrong, so I say we give him a chance to explain.
I knew a lady thinking about getting divorced. Her girly friends told her she should gin up a reason to get a restraining order on her husband, just to throw some dirt his way. In this case it never happened.
I'd do my best to avoid the receiving end of one though.
Very true that this come about as a divorce tactic. But if an airline finds out about they will probably not bother to ask your side, because they have no way of knowing who's telling the truth. They'll assume the worst and act accordingly.
Why is he obligated to explain? It was a simple question.
This absolutely. Because there is so much competition, anything like the above will make it easy to go to the next app/resume in the pile.
In Canada, yes it will be a problem. The attitude here is basically, how do we know you haven't been convicted of a felony. A friend of mine, going through a divorce, had this happen to him every time he comes to Canada. He gets in, but the questioning is pretty long. He carries some paperwork, I can't remember what, from the judge that pretty much explains the circumstances.
From what I have seen from the islands, I can't see a problem. They only seem interested in clearing me if I am staying overnight, and even then, it is quite cursory.
I never recalled seeing that question on an any airline app. If they don't ask, don't tell.
If they wanted to know, they'd ask.
BTDT, with the BAM out of nowhere RO..
My ex wife, told a judge that I pushed her down a flight of stairs at home. Not a single stair in the house. Not even a step unless you stub your toe on a threshold.
And she got one. The threshold of getting one is really, REALLY low. Like in FL, a woman asks for it and get it.
It was just a ploy to get more money and use of the house during the divorce.

Chapman had a chance to close out the Indians in this same stadium barely one year ago.
CLEVELAND – Aroldis Chapman had a chance to close out the Indians in this same stadium barely one year ago. He could not do it in Game 7 of the World Series, even though his Cubs went on to end their century-long championship drought.
But the $86 million closer was back in position to vanquish the Tribe again on Wednesday night, and the flame-throwing lefty recorded the final six outs of the Yankees' 5-2 clinching victory in Game 5 of the AL division series.
"I was not thinking about last year at all. I was focused on the job at hand, which was to get the outs and get the save tonight," Chapman said through his translator. "I imagined there was going to be a chance they would need me for two innings, and I prepared myself mentally and physically for that, for the job I had. I knew it was an important game and I was ready."
Chapman, who returned to the Yankees last winter after a trade to the Cubs last summer, briefly relinquished the closer role this season. But he has regained it and thrived since the start of September, not allowing a run in his last 18.2 innings over 15 appearances, including four postseason games.
"Chappy wants to win. Chappy's a winner and that's why we went out and got him again, because we knew that he was really good at what he did," Joe Girardi said. "He has obviously pitched in the World Series and loves the competition. His innings were great this whole series."
Chapman, of course, had surrendered a game-tying home run to Cleveland's Rajai Davis in the eighth inning of Game 7 of the Fall Classic last year.
He entered in the eighth inning again on Wednesday, nursing a 3-2 lead, before Brett Gardner's RBI single and a throwing error by Cleveland right fielder Jay Bruce boosted his cushion to three runs for the ninth.
"Definitely a big hit there by Gardner," Chapman said. "When you're winning by one run, anything can happen. It gives you breathing room to work with, to score those runs there helps you relax and go out there and focus on your job."

Small ambulance services in Wisconsin will soon be allowed to use just one emergency medical technician on calls under legislation signed into law last month by Gov. Scott Walker.
The law was sought by a group of ambulance services in Oconto County feeling the pinch of a growing shortage of EMTs.
Currently an ambulance crew must include at least two EMTs (or a licensed registered nurse, registered physician assistant, physician, or a combination).
An EMT or someone with higher license level, however, must to remain with the patient at all times during care and transport.
“This allows a service like ours to stretch our personnel further,” said Mark Winkler, president of Gillett Ambulance Service.
An EMR, he explained, is able to do almost everything a basic level EMT can do. Both must pass the same national exam, but EMTs are required to have 120 hours of education, instead of the 80 for EMRs.
Winkler and Tracy Ondik, squad director for GAAS, emphasized that patients won’t see a decrease in the quality of care.
“This doesn’t lessen the care, because an EMT will always be at the patient’s side in the back,” Ondik said.
He noted that an EMR today can take actions similar to what an EMT of 15 or 20 years ago did. That means higher level EMTs are providing higher levels of care, said as introducing IV, intubation or giving medication on a doctor’s orders.
“We’re doing tremendous, wonderful things in back of ambulance that couldn’t be done 10 years ago,” Ondik said.
Ondik said the staffing shortage was identified three years ago during meetings of the Oconto County EMS Council. After its members met with the Wisconsin Towns Association, they came up with the task force and began working on the legislation, which was was authored by who Sen. Terry Moulton (R-Chippewa Falls) and Rep. Jeff Mursau (R-Crivitz).
Winkler said the bill, which was approved on voice votes in both houses of the legislature, was backed because it benefited communities without requiring extra tax dollars.
“This is a big help for everybody,” said Chris Schultz, administrator of Mountain Ambulance Service.
Schultz said MAS is generally full staffed, but there are times when fewer people are available, such as during nine-day deer hunt.
The roots of the shortage are in several areas. Schultz said it’s similar to the dwindling volunteerism affecting many local service, social and veterans organizations.
Tousey said the average age of an EMT working for a department north of Highway 64 is 59-1/2. In Coleman and Pound, he added, most of the EMTs are in their 60s. Other squads in Langlade and Marinette counties have had trouble hiring EMTS.
Ondik noted the significant amount of training to become an EMT, and he’s seen people having trouble passing the national exam.
“It comes with a huge educational and time commitment,” Ondik said.
EMTs can’t make a full-time living on a volunteer service, he added.
“It’s a great second income, but young people aren’t getting into it because of the time commitment,” Winkler said.
Ondik said the various barriers to service aren’t going away, and he expects the requirements to only become more stringent. The task force is looking at what can be done to encourage people to join while still having a balance in their life.
In the meantime, one thing services can do to draw new volunteers “is just getting it out in the public eye more,” Ondik added.
At Mountain, Schultz said, they spend a lot of time and resources on recruiting, including sending letters to residents, putting up banners on the highway, utilizing billboards and social media.
The schedule is at MAS, which serves the towns of Doty, Mountain and Riverview, is filled by 26 people with licenses all the way to paramedic.
GAAS serves the towns of Breed, How, Underhill, Maple Valley and Gillett in Oconto County and Green Valley in Shawano County. Its website lists about two dozen EMTs or higher, including a handful with 30 years of service, and about 10 drivers.
Service members have been farm wives, stay-at-home wives, farmers, businessmen, salesmen and others, Winkler said. He has worked the overnight shift on weekdays since 2007.
Ondik said departments have not yet implemented the new law, as they are waiting for final guidance from the state.
For Tousey, it can’t happen soon enough, to make sure rural residents get same care as other larger communities.

I was born into a Jewish family and grew up in East London. In my twenties I worked as a woodworker. A job teaching woodwork to people with mental health problems opened the door to me working therapeutically with people, and I decided to train as a counsellor.
I took my first steps towards training as a counsellor in my mid-thirties, and gained my diploma in my mid-forties. Along the way I have also studied philosophy and religion, and have an interest in the therapeutic value of literature and journal writing.
I gained my diploma in therapeutic counselling in 2001 from the University of East London. In 2005 I was granted accreditation by BACP (the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). In 2017 I achieved BACP senior accreditation.
I trained in an integrative approach to counselling which enables me to tailor my approach to the needs of each client. My training has included existential and humanistic, cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused and psychodynamic approaches.
I have worked for NHS counselling services as well as in private practice.

POLL: What Emotion Do You Associate with Proposal Writing?
We continue to explore what you and the public think about proposal writing. Last week, we asked proposal authors what they think is the most important part of a proposal. This week we dug a little deeper and asked around a hundred proposalers what emotion or emotions you associate with the often roller coaster process of penning a purposeful proposal.
The prevailing emotion is hope. Hope to make money. Hope to represent your brand well. Hope you expressed your service or product clearly and concisely. Hope to maintain a client relationship. Hope to gain a new one. It seems Obama got it right during his last campaign, marketing “hope” to the public — after all, agree with him or not, he did get a Nobel Prize for the message! And that’s what’s driving you, too!
Now, let’s see what other emotions drive or derail our proposal writing processes!
As one respondent said, “Hope generally springs eternal” and it’s definitely the first and last thing we’re feeling as we put our efforts into drafting a proposal. And you have to have hope because, as hard as you work, there are a lot of human and budgeting factors into the proposal process and that means so much of it is out of your hands. But, while hope is a strong motivator, it’s not the only thing that gets us out of bed in the morning to sit in front of a computer to write that winning proposal.
In other words, like writing a book or having a baby, proposal writing is a truly personal and emotional process that pushes us in the right direction for the long haul. We are motivated by money and the desire to grow our businesses, of course, but we are also motivated by the whole creative and organizational process. And with a serious deadline, the roller coaster of emotions rushes quickly by with unique twists, turns and loops with every different proposal project.
Just taking one look at our attempt to graph the intangible shows us that, while hope and stress prevail, a whole other range of emotions take us on the ride to well-written proposals.
Government acquisition writer Tom falls under the optimist category saying “I enjoy defining the theme and strategy and then the frantic pace of execution — and the win makes it all worthwhile.” Like a jigsaw puzzle competition, the thrill of organization is all about defining the particular pieces for the particular project under rather extreme time constraints. And a successfully signed proposal is, of course, the motivational icing on the cake.
Everyone seems to enjoy the challenge of writing a rockstar proposal. There’s a certain thrill that comes with that burst of creativity followed by the determination to convince your client or potential client of how worthy your business/service/product is.
Of course, the responses to the poll definitely saw a battle between those that feel calmness and those that feel bursts of frustration. After all, there’s always a rapidly approaching deadline in this marketplace. However, not many seemed to jump on the train at Procrastination Station, saying they never have time even to put things off. There’s something super autonomous about proposal writing where the process and the hope for success is enough drive to focus and get things done and done well.
No matter what, after the roller coaster ride of emotions, we all share the feeling of satisfaction of finishing it, as well as the hope of being accepted.
When I work on a proposal, I feel like I pulled my heart out of my chest and put it on the table to be pounded. I’m Hopeful. I’m Positive. I’m Vulnerable. I’m Prepared for the Worst. I’m hoping for the best. But, I’m not really worried about how I feel because this is the rollercoaster I live on every single day — it’s managing my customer/the owner’s/the sales executive’s/the PM’s feelings throughout the process — that takes a lot of my energy.
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s pour this awesome passion into increasing your winning rates!

440a stainess steel AK Steel is a world leader in the production of at-rolled carbon, stainless and electrical steel products, primarily for automotive, infrastructure and manufacturing, construction and electrical power generation and distribution markets.
440A is a high carbon martensitic stainless steel that is AOD melted. This alloy can be heat treated to extremely high hardnesses. It has slightly less carbon than 440B and 440C giving it better machinability but less hardness.
440A vs 440C vs other choices for knife 2002. Q. I have heard some disparaging remarks concerning 440A stainless steel, as compared to 440C,with regard to knifemaking. The SOG Navy Seal knife was tested against most major manufactures of this type of all-around "combat" and/or "survival" knife and chosen above all others.
440A is one of the workhorses of the Sports and Tactical Knife industry. The majority of entry level knives use either 440A, 420HC or AUS-6 steel. 440 is a medium carbon, martensitic stainless steel that is very corrosion resistant and extremely tough that can be hardened to about RC58.
This is a low cost stainless steel. It is the most rust resistant of 440 steel, and 440C is the least rust resistant of the three. However, the 400 series are some of the most rust resistant knives out there. Popular 440A Knives: Microtech A.D.O. 440B Steel - Very similar to 440A but has a higher carbon content range (.75-.95%).
General Characteristics of Stainless Steel 440 A. Type 440A is a martensitic stainless steel that may be heat treated to Rc56 and shows good toughness when heat treated. It has moderate corrosion resistance as annealed so is suitable for mild environments.
440A Stainless Steel combines the superior corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels with the excellent wear resistance of high carbon alloys. Cutlery is a major use of 440A. This grade of stainless steel is not easily blanked due to its higher strength and hardness, therefore, a more powerful press could be required to blank parts.
bladeforums› …› General Knife Discussion Apr 29, 2015· If you see ' 440 steel' then assume it's 440A .As there's been lots of 440A blades that gave a bad reputation. 440B is good for choppers as in my stainless kukri. Well HT'd 440C makes a good blade for a hunting knife.
Like the 420HC stainless steel, knife blades and surgical tools are ideally created with 440C stainless steel. 440C stainless steel is commonly used for knife blades because it has the ability to withstand staining from many acidity foods and fruits due to its great strength and durability.
Grade 440C stainless steel is a high carbon martensitic stainless steel. It has high strength, moderate corrosion resistance, and good hardness and wear resistance. The following datasheet gives an overview of grade 440C stainless steel.
About 440C Stainless steel – Grade 440c Overview: 440C Stainless steel is a type of modern steel and famous for its high corrosion resistant, wear resistance, strength and hardness qualities, among all the stainless alloys, capable of attaining (after heat treatment) the highest hardness (60 HRC).
440C Stainless Steel. I often hear a lot of misconceptions about one of my favorite knife steels, 440C stainless steel, and I want to clear up a few of them. 440 stainless steel has gotten kind of a bad rap because a lot of factory knives use 440 stainless, sometimes called "surgical stainless".

Can you move 100% of your data ecosystem to the cloud?
In a podcast with Wayne Eckerson, Caserta President and Founder, Joe Caserta shares his expert insights on the current trends of cloud transformation and integration. Caserta uncovers his views on the future of cloud computing and compares cloud offerings from Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
Eckerson and Caserta also spend time on the hottest topic in technology today: Artificial Intelligence, what is it really? Can we define it yet?
Wayne Eckerson: Is it possible to migrate 100% of your ecosystem to the cloud?
Joe Caserta: I think it’s more than possible. I think it’s probable, and if I had a crystal ball it would probably tell me that a large percentage of every organization will eventually move to the cloud. We just helped a very large publishing company close down their data center. It was a big event actually going and hitting the power button in the racks and actually turning off all the servers they’ve maintained for the past few decades. The days of physical servers and racks and maintaining your own infrastructure is a thing of the past, at least in my world. I’d say five years ago we were 100% on-prem solutions. Three or four years ago we were half in the cloud, but starting last year maybe 80% of our projects were. This year 100% of our projects are either migrating to the cloud or building something from scratch on the cloud.
Wayne Eckerson: So in my world I’m seeing a lot of Azure implementations. It seems like AWS came in as infrastructure as a service and now it moved up the stack, but Microsoft came in as platform as a service, so a more packaged offering. I don’t know much about Google Cloud Platform, so maybe you could differentiate those three platforms.
Joe Caserta: I think Google and AWS are more similar than Microsoft. If you are a Microsoft shop using SQL Server and all the ancillary tools around SQL Server, then upscaling to Azure makes a whole lot of sense. If you’re more enterprise, coming from the Oracle world or a little bit more advanced technically where you were doing Hadoop already, then those clients are typically going to AWS or Google.
Wayne Eckerson: So what makes Google a real hot property? Why are people turning to them? I haven’t seen them at all and they’re certainly a third in market share.
Joe Caserta: I think in market share they are third, but in growth, I don’t know statistically, but we are seeing tremendous adoption of Google. We’re actually seeing some clients go from AWS to Google, never the other way around.
Wayne Eckerson: So what’s driving the success of Google?
Joe Caserta: I think they finally invested in an enterprise sales force. So they are giving better customer service to their customers, rather than a swipe of the credit card and lots of luck. They are actually doing a very high touch sales engagement, which is the way enterprises tend to want to do business. So, that’s helping a lot. And just the product itself! Google Big Query is really an outstanding product; the ease of use, the performance, the maintainability, the fact that it’s serverless, which is a new paradigm that everyone wants to get involved in. It’s hands down probably the best solution out there for accessing, querying arbitrary big data.
Wayne Eckerson: Artificial intelligence is now the most hyped thing out in the market place. What is it? Everyone is using the term, but I don’t think anyone really knows what it is. What would you say artificial intelligence is?
Joe Caserta: Today, it’s still pretty ambiguous. I think it means different things to different people. Even the term data warehouse, 30 or 40 years after the term was created, people to this day still have their own definition of what a data warehouse is. I still hear arguments about whether it should have operational data, should it be aggregated data. After decades, people still don’t agree with what it is.
Since AI just started hitting the market in the past year or two, I’m not surprised it’s not a concrete defined entity and that there’s ambiguity around it. I describe it as a set of processes that directly affect a individual’s or human being’s behavior. So, if you’re trying to interact with a product and the product does not have AI, it’s going to take a little bit of interrogation in order to get the product to do what you want. If the product has embedded AI, especially if the product was built with AI from the ground up, then your interaction with the product will be much more efficient and much more pleasing to the consumer.
I should say the consumer could be anything. It could be a person on an app, it could be someone trying to buy a product, it could be someone trying to build something, it could even be an artist trying to create a painting. AI is going to affect every aspect of every individual on the planet. It’s going to be that pervasive. And not 20 years from now, I think in the next few years. It’s going to happen so fast. Essentially, every single one of our clients is at least asking about it, and some of them are actually implementing it.

Well, I had something approximating a religious revelation–I almost died from that particular poison. I don’t think it would have worked if I hadn’t spent three weeks in an acute-care ward first, but there are less drastic methods which work pretty well. One of mine is to walk away periodically when I start juggling too many things, but the end of it all is: you have to accept that you will never fulfill all of your potential, and that you won’t ever achieve all the things you could achieve. It’s a disappointing, but also freeing, realization: then you can live your life the way you want.
Gifties have a lot of pressure put on them. Children are the original tabula rasa–people like to speculate on what they could be. For gifted children, that’s particularly acute, since the dreams others can paint for them become correspondingly grandiose. Whenever I thought of doing something considered “underneath” my level of giftedness, I was told “But you have so much potential! If you don’t do _____, you’ll be wasting all that–it’s such a rare talent, you don’t want to waste it!” This nearly drove me crazy before I realized that it was stupid.
Every human has potential in many disciplines, and only time to pursue a few. If I spend eight hours a day practicing writing, I may become a great poet, but I will never be a great mathematician. If I spend eight hours a day practicing writing and the other eight thinking about number theory, I may manage both but I will never have time to become the CEO of a Fortune 500 corporation, develop intimate relationships, or engage in social activism. So I expect to go to my grave a huge well of unused potential. If I lived 1000 years, I’d still never live up to my potential. I’m no different than any other person in that regard; the only thing that’s different is people’s expectations around it. People expect smart people to achieve more, and the smarter you are, the worse it gets. Taken to extremes, this will rapidly drive you crazy.
Well, screw that. We’re all gifted, we have the potential to do lots of things. Hey! We’ll be good at whatever we choose to do. The main determiner won’t be the head, but the heart: what we want to do, and love doing, is what we’ll excel at, regardless of our apparent talents. This is true for every human being, and no less so for the intellectually gifted. A native talent for math does not a mathematician make; a true love for math does. Strong native talent for math combined with a love for math is what makes a world-class mathematician–but the love comes first.
So if you are concerned about achievement, the best way to fill your potential –to maximize your expertise– is to do exactly what you want to do, and love doing. But it’s very hard to see that when someone tells you where to go, what to do, what to want, and why you should want it just about every waking moment of your life. (High school, for example.) Parents and teachers will generally want you to do what they think you’ll be most successful at (because they think it’s best for you).They’ll put a lot of pressure on you to conform to the goals they have in mind. It takes a lot of work to get away from that, and the inner voices that echo them, and see what you want to do. But it’s important to differentiate between your own internal goals, and the ones your parents and society will try to set for you.
It’s not easy. I’m still not as good at it as I’d like to be, and I’ve been working on it (and away from my parents) for a long time–but it is what leads to greater happiness and greater efficiency, in my view. But it is absolutely essential to make your talents support you, not control you.
You know, I get that response a lot, and it bothers me. Because “demanding” is not a reflection of your work, it’s a reflection of your state of mind: yes, the baseline requirement for an ice cream scooper is pretty low. You can get away with standing there and mumbling. But to do it well requires rather more attention than you’d expect: a good scooper is simultaneously scanning the store for dirty tables, going through the routine maintenance, chatting up customers and educating them on the product, managing the other scoopers on your shift and making sure they stay productive and feel listened to, taken care of, and so on. If you’re a manager, that also includes thinking up ways to increase revenue for the store, ways to encourage innovation from scoopers, how to form your group of motley part-timers into a team with spirit, who will actively seek out things above and beyond the call of duty. I learned a lot about management, and people interaction, standing behind a counter and scooping ice cream.

Welcome to our space of delectable cheese, pastes, fruits, and all sorts of yummy ventures. Here you will learn a little more about what we do at The Cheese Pleaser.
Last week we installed a gorgeous, rustic and romantic cheese table for a function. The venue was a beautiful outdoor setting nestled between gardens and candlelight. The food served was light canapés, paired with a decadent cheese table for grazing. We sourced beautiful fresh seasonal fruits that looked as ravishing as they tasted; small sweet grapes on the vine, figs, miniature pears and sugar plums. We paired this with an Apple and Walnut Chutney made by Javier Codina 'The Saucier' of Moda Restaurant. With this came a fantastic selection of French cheeses with varied textures and flavours - semi hard, soft, oozing brie, hard cheese made of sheeps and goats milk, complete with a rich and creamy blue cheese to finish.
We loved curating this delectable French cheese table. As dessert for this particular function, we chose to pair the cheese with succulent, sweet fruits and pastes to finish off the evening. The beauty of creating a cheese table is how unique each one can be.
With different textures and flavours the opportunities are endless.

Farming Mum’s NZ started in 2013 as a Facebook group to support, inspire and connect women throughout rural New Zealand. Gone are the days where living rurally is a barrier to success, in fact, we believe it provides your greatest opportunity.
The first FMNZ Leveled Up Podcast brought Kate Taylor in to chat about her background, her journalism career and how she maintains a balance between her family and her job(s).
We talked about Kate's rural fire service involvement, her Kellogg Rural Leadership Project and the book she has just launched; "50 Years Young, A History of the Young Farmer of the Year"
This episode has some real gems when it comes to tried and true advice as well as tips and tricks to make sure you are in tune with your values - as when you understand and recognise your values, it can be key to knowing when to say yes and when to say no - this also goes hand in hand with continued personal and professional development.
We also talk about building and maintaining those core groups of friends to help you along through the years and about getting outside!
Kate is a multi-talented woman with a true passion for rural New Zealand and telling people's story. To follow Kate's journey and stories, head to her Facebook page - CommuniKate.
Why a podcast for Farming Mums NZ and the wider rural industry?
My name is Chanelle O'Sullivan. I am interviewing both women and men within the primary industries and rural New Zealand who are thinking outside the box. Who are entrepreneurs, thought leaders, CEO’s, campaign leaders, in governance, life coaches, career experts, communicators, health and fitness professionals - anyone doing something from rural New Zealand who didn’t let rural-life, partners working long hours or geographical location, hold them back.
Mar 20 Where can you listen to us?

I’ve not been a huge fan of pumpkin ales over the years, but I have found a few that I really enjoyed.
Seeing a spiced sour however was too much for me to pass up.
But I suppose if I’m going to call this a beer review I should say something about the beer.
The spice and sour did not mesh well at first for me, but by the end of the bottle I was starting to come around.
I bought a six pack, so I tried it again the following day, and by the end of the second one I wasn’t sorry I bought 6.
The pumpkin presence is neither overpowering nor sweet, which is what turned me off from several other pumpkin ales that I’ve tried. Also, the sour is subtle.
Even so, I’m not sure the combination will work for everyone. I’ll probably not buy this again, but I’m not disappointed that I tried it. The ABV is 5.8% so you can have a few and choose just how funky you want to get. After drinking 4 of the 6 I’m willing to go as high as 3 kegs for this one. Cheers.
Noble Brewer, California straight to your doorstep!
great review Boulevard Brewing makes some awesome ales I have not tried this yet but after reading the review I am willing to give it a shot. for me the best way to enjoy pumpkin ale is let them warm up just a little that way all those awesome flavors pop..

A couple months ago, I wrote about how the NutriBullet was an awesome way to get your fruits and veggies in every day (especially if you hate grazing as much as I do ).
For my birthday, I that I wanted to try the NutriBullet for myself and I couldn’t be happier!!!
Every time I have my nutriblast, I know I’m doing right by my body now and in the long run. Over the past month and a half, I’ve noticed my sugar cravings decrease DRAMATICALLY!! To give you a sense of how bad my sugar addiction was, I bought a gallon of vanilla ice cream and a case of Mt. Dew every week when I went to the grocery store. Now, I can barely drink a can of soda without feeling my teeth rot.
A NutriBullet may not be the best option for you, but I just hope you’re willing to try it.
Remember, that all we have is our health and EVERY investment (whether you’re eating healthy once a month or every day) counts!!

I was in a rush to ride. I just wanted to get out there. I dragged my bike out of the garage without even a cursory once-over before jumping in the car and heavy pedaling it to the trailhead. Once there, I threw on my helmet and shoes, and got going before I had even started.
Out of the car park and into the opening preamble of trail. I reached for some more gears and they were slow to engage, even clunking and ticking; adjustments be damned, I carried on regardless.
The gritty grind of the chain, the squeak of jockey wheels, and the rub of discs on metal-bare pads grated me; I had lube in my pack but instead ignored the sounds as best I could.
I noticed my tires were soft and the suspension wallowy. I tried to shove it to the back of my mind, all I wanted to do was ride.
My last ride was just yesterday but I had put the bike away wet, with no love or care. Now, just a short time later it was showing its wear.
I punched the pedals, hammered into turns and tried to get that thrill, but something wasn't right. No matter how much I tried to enjoy my ride it felt wrong. I felt like I was pushing something that wasn't ready to be pushed, pulled, saddled or relished. The bike felt rough, crunchy, and resisted me. I wanted something but it wasn't forthcoming.
I should have spent the time to lube the chain, clean the seals and set my sag. I had failed my ride before it even started. I was so keen to just get out there that I rushed the prep, skipped the vital checklist, and neglected the necessary preflight briefing of my not so hot, pink bike.
The world of communications has been turned on its head. And it's something we are trying to get used to – you the reader, the corpo captains, the media muggins, everyone. We don't know how it works yet. We don't know what's best practice. All we know is the medium is more important than the message and the speed is faster than the quality of the message.
Long before a conventional press release can go out, hours (sometimes days) before the marketing mavens can massage their message, net-connected bikey keeners around the world know exactly what's going on.
No longer is the message controlled by a handful of upper-echelon insiders. No longer is the mass distribution of messages dependent on costly, old-school production methods. Despite what some armchair cynics think, the mountain bike media is not a bunch of hacks who dine in the pockets of the corporate paymasters. It never was like that (with the rare exception) and it certainly isn't now. The means of production are certainly not shared communally, however, everything shared by the community of individuals .
Today everyone is a reporter. Smart phones, head-cams, and on-the-fly editing and distribution technologies that a child can operate. The communication toys available to us all are allowing each one of us to create personalized messages that are just as compelling (sometimes even more so) than those produced by the savvy pros who work in the media and marketing departments.
And nowhere is this more evident on the comments fields, message boards, Twitter-verse, and Facebook-sphere. Yes, many of these digital statements are poorly written, nonsensical, in bad taste, ridiculously absurd, and agenda-driven. But they are all out there, for someone to read, discern and digest. This is what changes the game.
It is a pretty big change and it does affect the dynamics of everyone's role, whether you believe it or not.
What we have seen it in the last two weeks, in the World Cup transfer loonie season, is that news travels fast. Too fast perhaps. So fast that the message is lost. Yes, we know which young man rides what now. But what about the backstory? What about the intelligent insight? What about the details? Speculation, rumor, and tales are fueled by opinion without grounds.
Well, in the rush the story and the reasons are all forgotten. You are to blame. As am we, the media. You, the reader and commenteer, have a voracious appetite for information and we know this because we see the numbers scrolling on screens, we read the comments, and we see the mad dash to chew over these morsels of information and then spit them onto the many social media platforms.
For the media the game has become about numbers. Who got it first and who got the most. But is that the measure of success? Certainly not when the media begin to compete for maiming rights quite publicly. The bragging, swaggering, and name calling that now goes on among the media is a further death nail. With every outlet rushing for the imaginary finish line, only to find it has been pushed back further and further every time, people are crawling over each others backs.
And who benefits? The outlet? Hardly; families go untended as news break at children’s bedtime, sleep hours become work hours, and friendships and collegial alliances become strained. And for what? The digital counter doesn't give out like a Vegas slot machine promises to. What about the reader, do they advance? Certainly not, they might get more of less, but soon the void for more of less will be felt – if it hasn't already. And the corporate interest, do they win? Hardly, they become embroiled in half-truths, misguided transmissions, and bitter battles. All of which takes time to throw Band-aids on, massage what they can, and salvage the wreckage.
It has become a perfect cycle of self-serving rushes, whereby no one wins. No one is to blame more than the next. Each of the three groups listing above have demands, perpetrated by themselves and by the imagined needs of the others.
All the while the beautiful machine we love goes without the drop of lube, the cleansing sponge, and the gleaming polish. We send it out before it's ready, while it rusts, and squeaking a dreadful tune.

Respawn Entertainment’s recently launched shooter, Titanfall, is going to be getting a bit of a visual and technical boost on the PC with the help of Nvidia.
As explained in a recent Nvidia blog post by developer content and technology manager Ashu Rege, Titanfall will soon support 4K resolution along with multiple Nvidia graphics processing units (GPU).
According to Respawn, it’s likely that Titanfall’s Xbox One version will also see a performance boost in an upcoming patch.
Yesterday, it was reported that EA has already secured rights for Titanfall 2.

They came in the dead of night when our guard had slipped for just a second. It was a classic pincer movement that any panzer division would have been proud of. Four in total, two closing in from each end of the Land Rover, using darkness for cover; we stood no chance and were overrun in a matter of seconds. Megan saw them first but didn’t get a chance to warn me and they were within the camp boundaries before we could react and stage a defensive counter strike. Kittens, kittens came and won our hearts and minds before we knew what was going on. Megan actually fell in love a little bit and spent a lot of time with the kittens, in fact she spent pretty much all her waking time with them and it was truly very hard to drag her to the beach! I know, can you believe it, we drive 100’s of miles so she can play with cats?!? They were damn cute though, and even I, the world’s greatest cat hater, found myself stroking, playing and picking up the bloody things. We even spent money out of our very small daily budget on cat food, cat food! Unbelievable.
Other than the furry balls of fun there aren’t a lot of things to write about during our week long stay at camping Sika: got up, went to the beach, came back, cooked some dinner, read, and went to bed. A brilliant, brilliant week.
All good things come to an end though and it was after much effort that we managed to pull ourselves away from the world’s best campsite and started towards the Turkish border. It would take a couple of days to get there so after all day driving we started to look for a campsite and finally stumbled across Camping Paradiso. I’m glad to report that the Greeks have a sense of irony. Paradise it was not.
No lights in the toilets, use your own imagination at the state of the men’s toilet floor.
No lights in the showers- showering in the dark was a new and disturbing experience.
No hot water, why would there be?!
No lights on the campsite at all now I come to think about it.
A washing machine that held our clothes hostage for 3 hours.
Toilets that were truly, truly awful. The smell!! My god, still so many nightmares.
Anyway, nasty campsite apart we had a really enjoyable time in Greece and as I have said a number of times it was a real struggle to move on from Europe, but Asia and Turkey beckoned so with a little apprehension we headed off towards our first real border crossing. Now where are those passports…..?
OK sorry about that, I feel better now so moving on the Athens.
It’s funny how sub prime mortgages in the US, quantitative easing and the global recession thwarted our first attempts to get to Athens. We turned up nice and early after getting up at ridiculous o’clock and driving the winding road to the station, which was about 30km from Athens itself, only to be told that there was a strike on and there would be ‘no trains today my friend’. Doh. After all our previous parking issues we had decided that driving into the third largest urban mass in Europe (I know, right? we were surprised to read that too!) would not be a good idea, so we went away muttering that this kind of thing would never happen in England, conveniently forgetting that it actually happens all the time, and sat on the beach to sulk. A hard life indeed.
Trains back on and the strike ended by everyone apologizing, hugging and shaking hands (I’d like to think), we caught the train into down town Athens. We didn’t really know what to expect from the Greek capital but we were both blown away by the food markets, the Acropolis and the Parthenon. What an amazing view from the top of the Acropolis; the sweat patches and mild heat stroke were well worth the climb to get to the top, and we tagged on to a Japanese guided tour around. Now we don’t speak Japanese but we think we got the jist- it was built by the Vikings right…?
We somehow managed to drag ourselves away from the beach and drove on a further 4 hours towards Istanbul. We had been told about an amazing campsite near a place called Volos from our new found Swiss friends and decided to check it out. We arrived to actually find the best campsite known to man and it goes straight in at number one top five all time best campsites. Our pitch, and where I am typing this now, is on the edge of a 10 metre cliff looking down onto a deserted beach and a tiny little fishing village. Postcard perfect, in fact I’m going to have a job trying to drag my co driver away from here, and the phrase “squat toilets are used throughout Turkey” that we read today in the Lonely Planet will do little to help the cause.
Things weren’t all peaches and cream however, on our first night here the rain that continues to haunt us from Italy struck back with a vengeance. Man what a storm, hopefully the photo below will show you the extent of the downpour. Within minutes of the rain starting a river of Amazon proportions started flowing under the car and over the cliff. Megan’s comment that perhaps we might be washed over the edge was strongly rebuffed but secretly I was thinking the same thing but could not be bothered to survey the situation, as getting out of the tent would mean taking a fully clothed shower. Needless to say we didn’t get washed away and spent the evening playing dominoes in the tent whilst the thunder, lighting and rain did its best to interrupt our nail biting game. We later learnt that it was the first rain they have had since June, classic Maple luck.
Ah but I hear to ask, if it rained, surely the car must have leaked? How wrong you all are, how dare you suggest such a thing! All my stuff stayed 100% dry, mainly because it was behind Megan’s clothes, which didn’t. They were actually washed by the rain, which I thought was ideal as we didn’t have to pay for a washing machine and to be honest Megan had started to smell, two birds one stone! She however didn’t see it my way, so after using every available bit of string we had and hanging up Megan’s entire wardrobe I did battle with my arch foe, silicone sealant, and attempted to plug the gaps. Stay tuned so see if it will work…….
Just on a side note, it’s been really nice once again to get messages from family and friends and people who have come across the blog, as well as those who have read the article in LRO. We will do our best to reply to everybody as soon as possible, but whilst the internet costs €4 a minute the potential costs involved in sending these replies would result in our budget getting us no further than the Turkish border!
In this exciting installment we learn that Megan really hates mountain roads, I mean really hates them, gravity goes two nil up, and we are no longer the coolest campers on the campsite….
The last full day in Italy was spent visiting the Amalfi Coast. The book quoted this as the ‘most beautiful stretch of coast in Europe’ so how could we not go? and there was something about Megan’s family coming from here, but I forget the story even though she claims she has told me hundreds of times. Our reliance on the GPS was, at the time, total so we put in the name of one of the small towns on the coast and off we went. Ummm, well the town was 9 miles away but it took us about an hour and a half to get there. Mr GPS thought we would enjoy a trip through down town Pompeii first, an area that for Italy seems to have no discernable traffic regulations, save that everyone absolutely must overtake everyone else in the narrow, over crowded streets even though there is a constant traffic jam in either direction. After the stress of that he thought he would give us a break from the hustle and bustle of the town and show us the seaside not through the tunnel, oh no, tunnels are for chumps, but over the steepest hill the poor old Land Rover has ever seen, and judging by the black smoke coming out the back it wasn’t happy about it. The Land Rover wasn’t the only one, Miss Cartwright it seems is not a fan of twisting, narrow, steep, edge of the cliff driving in a 4 tonne Land Rover where the steering wheel only really acts as a suggestion to the wheels its meant to control. However we were rewarded with the most awesome views for the Mt Vesuvius and the valley below. Once the temperature gauge in the Land Rover had gone from molten lava to gentle simmer we headed down the other side and eventually arrived at the town of Ravello. From Ravello we followed the coast road/cliff edge back to Sorrento and Pompeii. Again, this is a most interesting road to navigate with a large car although by the end of the day I was hand braking the car around the bends like a seasoned Italian.
We packed up the camp, a task that we now have down to 47mins from the 2 hrs in France, and headed toward Brindisi and the ferry to Greece. The idea was to take our time, as the ferry was not until 9pm so a few interesting stop offs where highlighted in the Lonely Planet and we set off in good cheer and high sprits. That quickly changed as the heavens opened and the most torrential down pour this blogger has ever driven through proceeded to last the entire width of Italy. In true Land Rover form, the two front doors, pedals, and air vents let in so much rain that tea towels, toilet roll and t-shirts were called into action to stem the flow of water into the cab. Every so often we had to stop in order to drain the water out of the foot wells, as the level was in danger of reaching ankle height. It was a strange sensation to drive whilst getting a foot spa and progress was slow to say the least. Bends didn’t help; as the Land Rover rolled a shriek from the passenger seat indicated that water had found a new entry point and had managed to land on Megan, which although mildly amusing was hardly the way one would choose to spend 6 hours crossing Italy. She was in constant fear that the next corner would result in 4 litres of water pouring onto her lap! We finally got to the port with no stops except for de-ballasting operations, at 6 pm. Seeing that I have worked on ferries for the last 3 years (I was a captain, no no really, I was, you can ask my mum) I had a professional interest in the Greek ferry operation, and I know I’m speaking to a limited audience with the following observations, which were totally lost on Megan, but to those reading this from Irish Ferries, I’m sure you will be tremendously interested….or maybe it’s just me. Actually, I’m not going to list them all because it makes me seem a little sad that even on holiday I go around looking for safety violations on ferries I don’t even work on. However, my personal favourite was a fire door wedged open with expanding foam, so I’m sure you get the picture. Needless to say, I wore my life jacket all the way across, slept in the lifeboat and held a flare in each hand. Oh and I fell down metal stairs and again landed on my back, you win again gravity.
(Hot, oily, greasy Greek road) + Rain = A road surface equating to glass.
To be honest, I was rather impressed that we had managed to get a 4 tonne Defender 130 to go sideways, Megan however, wasn’t and from then on a snail’s pace was demanded from the Head Chef until we got to a better road. We witnessed a few recent accidents where cars with lesser drivers than myself had failed to stop in time, and ditches and fields became the last resting place for many a car that day. An up side of this very slow progress was that we achieved an extra 50 miles to a tank a fuel, which was nice. We finally found the Campsite recommended in the Rough Guide (which incidentally is nowhere near as good as Lonely Planet Guides) near Athens, and once the man was paid and our pitch found we ran into the sea and let out a rather big ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Evening: Applied copious amounts of after sun.
Afternoon: Sat under the umbrella.
Evening: Applied slightly less after sun.
Braved the sun again, with varying shades of pink achieved.

The structurationist perspective in IS enables one to suggest that e- transformations affect micro, meso and macro organizational aspects and that these different levels of transformation are recursive. This theoretical framework is mobilized in a growing number of much contextualized empirical research studies. It is then difficult to highlight trends in terms of the transformation domains induced by ICTs in stabilized contexts (post-implementation phase). The objectives of this article are twofold. On one hand, it aims to show the interest of meta-analyses and more particularly qualitative meta-analyses identified in the academic field as “meta-synthesis” in order to comprehend e-transformations. This specific methodology has been tested here in the context of customer relationship management (CRM), thus enabling us to highlight international and inter-sectorial trends. The second objective of this article is to give an in depth analysis of the transformation modes/mechanisms brought into play in the CRM context. The contributions of this research are threefold: 1) to show that socio-organizational transformations in a CRM context can be regrouped into four distinct domains of transformation.2) show the direct/ indirect nature of these transformations (second level of apprenticeship versus cascade effects), and 3) show the existence of recursive links between these four domains of transformation.
CRM, e-transformation, meta-analysis, meta-synthesis, structurationnist perspective.

Microsoft are finding out tonight that no matter how nicely you ask, you just can’t guarantee people won’t leak your new software. Today Win7China (via Windows8Beta) have managed to get hold of a few screenshots of Microsoft’s next operating system, as well as have some info to share with everyone.
The headline feature to come out of the leak is a new ‘restore’ feature. According to reports, the new feature will mean users will always have the option to return their system to a vanilla install of Windows 8 at any time and in just two minutes. At the moment the only way to reliably do this is to make your own clone of a drive before installing your applications – not something an average user will do.
If you do have to do a complete reinstall of Windows 8 though, it doesn’t look like you’ll have the usual long wait while the OS works its magic. According to Win7China, Windows 8 installs in just 8 minutes. They claim the same machine needed over 23 minutes to install Windows 7. Just how this huge improvement is achieved is unclear, though we’re not sure we care!
Other interesting changes include the addition of the ability to login using a Windows Live ID, with the ID’s display picture being shown in the redesigned system tray.

Raising the state pension age is only a small part of the battle to overcome the pensions blackhole, according to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).
With so many older workers retiring before they reach the existing state pension age, the greater challenge is improving the management of older workers to ensure they want to remain in work and be productive.
Abolishing the mandatory retirement age, as recommended by Lord Turner in the Pensions Commission report, would remove the ‘ejector seat’ option from employers, and encourage better management of older workers.
Duncan Brown, CIPD assistant director general, said: “Raising the state pension age may well increase the notional supply of older workers, but it won’t necessarily increase the actual supply of them, or demand for them.
Brown said too many employers are lazy in their attitudes to older workers, happy to place them in the ‘out tray’ for years before they actually retire.
This plays a part in declining job satisfaction amongst older workers, he said.
“The chances of an increase in the state pension age achieving the desired objectives and boosting UK productivity rest on the willingness and ability of employers to adapt their employment practices to engage older workers more fully, to motivate them, and to reduce their desire to retire early,” said Brown.

President Barack Obama continues to hold a wide lead over Mitt Romney on likability but the GOP challenger edges him on the economy. Obama leads Romney 54 to 31 percent on likability and Romney leads Obama on handling the economy 52 to 43 percent, a new USA Today/Gallup poll shows.
On six other personal characteristics including caring about people, being honest and trustworthy, standing up to special interests, being a strong and decisive leader, working with both parties, and ability to manage the government, Obama leads Romney on all.
On seven other areas tested, Obama lead Romney on all but handling the economy and the deficit. The other issues were foreign affairs, energy, Medicare, taxes, and healthcare.
“Romney beats Obama on two economic issues, the federal budget deficit and the economy, while Obama wins by at least nine points on each of the other five — including 12- to 14-point advantages on foreign affairs, energy, and Medicare,” Gallup wrote.
Gallup noted that while Romney’s vice-presidential nominee, Rep. Paul Ryan, is known for his work on the budget and the deficit and Medicare, polling shows Obama gaining on Romney on the issue of the budget deficit and holding a clear 13-point lead on Medicare.
“Overall, these data provide an illuminating insight into the structure of the presidential contest. President Obama's greatest vulnerability appears to be the economy — not surprising, given that unemployment is still above 8 percent and given the low level of Americans’ confidence in the economy,” Gallup wrote. “At the same time, Obama has great strengths in Americans' positive views of his personal image and characteristics, and of his position on several non-economic issues.

Don't Suffer in Silence. Kremlinitis Can Be Cured.
Are you currently following a radical path? Are your friends and family becoming increasingly concerned? Do your views occasionally diverge from the mainstream? Do you ever find yourself watching the BBC and thinking "hey, that doesn't sound right"? Have you ever sneakily grabbed the TV remote and switched to RT when no one was looking? Have you been blocked by the President of Estonia on Twitter?
I don't want to alarm you, but if you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, you might indeed be suffering from acute Kremlinitis.
Unfortunately, depending on the severity of your symptoms and the frequency of your thought-crimes, you could be in need of an intervention. In fact, regardless of the severity, you should seek help now. You don't need to be a full-blown 'Putin-versteher' to receive treatment. Research has shown that if you allow your symptoms to fester, Kremlinitis becomes irreversible.
Luckily, two world-renowned propaganda experts and guardians of truth, Ed Lucas and Peter Pomerantsev have you covered. The dynamic duo have envisioned a targeted, anti-brainwashing initiative designed specifically to treat sufferers like you. The first step is admitting you have a problem.
Similar "deradicalization" efforts have targeted supporters of extremist Islamic ideology and have seen great success. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Lucas and Pomerantsev, who have devoted their lives to The Truth, the same methods can now be employed against anyone and everyone that questions the West's permanent moral authority and accepted media narratives -- particularly those who may have "fallen victim to Kremlin propaganda".
You don't have to suffer in silence.
There's no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed.
Kremlinitis can infect anyone, at any time.
The road may be long, but the dangers are too great to go it alone. Your friends and family will be there to support you on your path back to righteousness and moral clarity. They are rooting for you.
