Rollerfly are slide plates for Inline / Roller / Ball Hockey goalies available in White, Black, Blue or Red. They use hundreds of plastic or metal ball bearings embedded in a slick and durable plate on the inside of goalie leg pads to slide around the crease to create a closer feeling of ice hockey goaltending.
ROLLERFLY allows Inline/Roller hockey goalies to now perform the same lateral slide techniques successfully used by Ice hockey goalies that have proven to be highly effective in making saves. Rollerfly will revolutionize the position of goaltender in Inline/Roller hockey. It will breed a decisive advantage for the goaltender that has this product versus one who does not.
Designed to fit leg pads between 32" and 38"
The included straps can work sufficiently for some users, but others may find that adding hockey laces, ties, velcro, etc. will help with keeping the product snug and secure.
Having a strap break from a puck is not too common, but less than ideal if it does. Using a hockey lace as a back-up to snug up the install to your pads is a nice preventative measure.
Why will Rollerfly make you a better goalie?

Work for The Weather Company?
Learning about The Weather Company?
I love the interface, and I love how easy it is to toggle between all of my saved locations. All of the information I'm looking for at-a-glance is at the top, with a helpful chart of weather over time, and I can do a deeper dive into allergy conditions and a radar forecast by scrolling down.
I feel like the map with the radar forecast never works for me. This usually isn't an issue, but it can become bothersome during large storms and rain showers.
Go for it! Easy to use, intuitive experience.
I work with a planning team on outdoor events from time to time, and this helps us adjust our schedule if weather becomes an issue. Also, I use this in internal communications during storms and related catastrophic events to see which branch locations may be impacted.
"One of the most accurate out there "
How the it allows me to plan ahead or spur of the moment driving to and from work as I can have a emergency appointment. The weather details are spot on down to the zip code. There is no need to obtain my local weather any other way as this is the most efficient. Weather-based points of interest as another plus.
I suppose the details can be a bit confusing at times for some users.
Transportation based on weather helps to optimize and adjust on the fly. Safety first!
The platform is very commendable, it's user-friendly. It gives up-to-date information about the weather and I use this application not only at work but also personally.
None at the moment. So far the weather forecast provided has been pretty reliable.
Definitely with information about the weather, businesses may be more efficient in certain areas. For those with delivery services, I believe the application would be a great help.
"Great company, great souce of information"
Access to multiple key places for weather forecasting and information technology.
I can not think of anything, there are my great things about the weather company.
We are able to schedule tours and events based on the information on their website.
I’ve been working with weather.com programmatic sales team for a year and a half now. They make it so easy to plug into their inventory and their supply is very viewable and scalable.
I like how simple it is. It is very imforative and helps my company decide on air flights. It is accurate and helps a lot.
Easier to work with organization with accurate and timely information and technology.
I wish that the service was more user friendly and less intrusive.
We received timely monitoring and information for our staff and consumers. However, as a non-profit organization, we have opted for a more local service.
"Use of product in office "
"Better chance for correct information "
When making important decisions regarding closures, transportation, etc. this application allows for more accurate information and better decision making in return.
You are still predicting the unpredictability of Mother Nature.
Better decisions on closings and transportation.
I like the interface. It's very intuitive and user friendly.
Sometimes it can take too long to load.
Placement of advertisements and what's clickable.
* We monitor all The Weather Company reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. Validated reviews require the user to submit a screenshot of the product containing their user ID, in order to verify a user is an actual user of the product.
Hi there! Are you looking to implement a solution like The Weather Company?

So it’s that time of year coming up again where you want to spoil your loved one and celebrate Valentines Day. I always struggle with what to buy as we already have most of the things we want with it being Christmas etc. I always think an experience gift you can do together is a perfect gift.
There are loads of options to choose from , here are a couple of my top picks for Valentines gifts this year.
You can’t go wrong with a romantic meal for two. Marco Pierre White’s lavish London Steakhouse Co. restaurants are ideal for just this. The restaurant is located in London with fine quality house cut steaks on offer, together with Marco’s unique interpretations of other traditional recipes such as smoked haddock fish cakes.
You get to enjoy a seasonal cocktail and three-course meal; inclusive of a starter, main course and pudding, at either Marco Pierre White’s London Steakhouse Co. Chelsea (near South Kensington station), or Marco Pierre White’s London Steakhouse Co. City on the other side of the capital (near Liverpool Street station) The smartbox is priced at £55 which at the moment is on offer with 52% off from £114.50.
This voucher gives you and someone you love the chance to spend a luxurious night at a national park of your choice. There is a wide variety of venues on offer at many National Park locations across the UK ranging from extravagant country manors to quaint cabins. You have the option to explore the Royal Forest of Dean, or see the spectacular scenery of Snowdonia or take in the sea air in Brighton. As you can see there is so much variety to choose from. The smartbox is priced at £89.
There are so many different smartbox options to choose from for Valentines Day.
*We were sent the two night scrumptious stay for two to be featured in this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Sometimes working in marketing can feel like standing in the eye of a tornado. It is easy to find yourself at a standstill as trends, tools, techniques, apps and algorithms whirl by at a dizzying rate.
You may have heard talk lately about the conversion to Vertical Video. Remember that video a few years ago that told us all to “Say No to Vertical Video”? Someone needs to take that video off the internet.
The ubiquity of smartphones in our pockets has led to an increased appetite for smartphone optimized content. Since 94% of us hold our phones vertically, it makes sense that digital advertisers are creating content that is meant to be viewed in that orientation.
SnapChat started the trend towards vertical with the launch of it’s vertical video ads in 2015, and has reported that they have “up to 9x more completed views than their horizontal counterparts.” and “5x greater consumer engagement (swipe-ups) when compared to click-through rates on most mobile ads”.
This month Instagram just launched it’s IGTV, in hopes of rivalling YouTube with a platform for watching shot and longform videos but in 9:16 format.
For digital advertisers, vertical video offers the advantage of filling an entire screen with your branded content- a similar experience to watching a TV commercial, but with the added bonus of being able to further strategize your delivery by retargeting audiences and lookalikes, specifying audience demographics and timing them specifically to the habits of your audience.
Additionally, vertical video ads on SnapChat and Instagram Stories provide the opportunity for a call-to-action to be included at the end- with interactive features for the consumers to swipe up and engage further with the brands offerings.
With the introduction of IGTV and platforms like Netflix and many of the worlds biggest brands getting on board with the transition to vertical, it is clear that this trend is one you will want to adopt sooner rather than later for your business no matter what the size.
It is important to note that optimizing creative assets to work with this new format is not quite as basic as a simple ratio conversion.
It is possible to repurpose your current content to work on a vertical screen. However, for ad and social creative that has not been produced with the vertical orientation in mind, there are some challenges that must be overcome in order to showcase the action that a horizontal edit may have captured before.
Techniques for optimizing vertical video's performance range from using split screens and additional cuts to show the full span of action that may be captured on a horizontal screen. Both have been seen to result in higher conversions and a better viewing experince.
Now is the time to Say Yes to Vertical Video and start putting together some Vertical Video Best Practices for your business. If you are overwhelmed at the though of converting your horizontal content, don't despair! ChopShop editors are experienced in creative conversions to the 9:16 format and are here to help.
Send an e-mail hello@chopshop.co to get a quote for your next conversion project.

Pasta is one of the easiest options I would look for when I am pressed for time or if I am lazy to cook something elaborate.I must say that I am lucky that DH prefers the simple kind of pastas like Aglio E Olio or a simple pesto based Pasta than the heavy sauce and cheese loaded pastas.Hence making pastas is easy for me. Infact I have also started preferring these simple yet flavorful pasta.
As I find Aglio E Olio bit dry for my liking, I usually serve it with grilled vegetables or eggplants.The soft and fleshy eggplants make a nice combination with the pasta and we started liking it and slowly I turned out the entire dish into a single one and that is how the Eggplant pasta started featuring at my place.
Bring water to a boil with salt and add a tsp of olive oil in a big pot add pasta and cook for 8-10 mins until it is al dente or follow the instructions on your package.Drain the pasta and keep it aside.
Meanwhile chop eggplants into small cubes or cut them into thin 1" length pieces and drop them in salted water for 10 mins.This will remove the bitterness of eggplants and also would not let it turn black.Squeeze slightly the extra water and pat dry it.You can either grill them in oven with some olive oil and salt for 15-20 mins until done or saute it in olive oil in a pan until they are soft and cooked.
Heat olive oil in a pan and add finely chopped garlic and fry until it turns slight red in color and then add chopped onions and fry well until they turn translucent and turn slight pink.
Add grilled or sauteed eggplant cubes/pieces and fry for 1-2 mins.
Add red chili flakes, mixed herbs, pepper powder and salt and fry for 1-2 mins.
Add cooked and drained pasta to it and mix well until the mixture coats the pasta.
Serve it hot and drizzle on top with Extra virgin olive oil and shaved Parmesan cheese.I served it with Garlic Bread and lemonade.
You can use herbs of your choice like fresh basil or oregano in the recipe instead of mixed dried herbs.
If you like you can add Parmesan cheese into the pasta while it is on heat.
Chopped canned tomatoes or blanched,peeled and chopped tomatoes also can be added along with onions in the recipe.

Matthew Apgar - mapgar@shawmedia.com Outgoing village president Les Bellah prepares to cast his vote on Monday, March 20, 2017 at Kirkland Village Hall in Kirkland.
Matthew Apgar - mapgar@shawmedia.com Kirkland Village President Les Bellah talks on the phone while handling village business on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2016 in Kirkland. Bellah is not seeking reelection as Village President after serving four terms, two of them consecutive. He plans on staying active in the community, frequenting village board meetings and lending a hand whenever he can.
Matthew Apgar - mapgar@shawmedia.com Kirkland Village President Les Bellah handles business over the phone as he speaks with an attorney regarding a Kirkland property on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2016 in Kirkland.
KIRKLAND – Flags around Kirkland flew at half-staff Monday in honor of Les Bellah, the community’s longtime leader, who died Sunday at OSF Saint Anthony’s Center for Cancer Care in Rockford. He was 68.
Bellah was first elected to the Village Board in 1983. He ran for the position two times before getting elected on his third try. Of his 30-plus years in office, he spent 16 years as Kirkland’s village president.
In November, Bellah announced that he would not be running for re-election. He was succeeded by current President Ryan Block.
Lee said she will remember her father as a wonderful human being who was passionate about caring for others.
She added that seeing her father with her daughter, Lizzie, the Saturday before his passing was a moment that she will forever cherish. The three were in Bellah’s hospital room, when he and Lizzie started singing “God Bless the USA,” his favorite song.
During his decades of service, Bellah helped lead the community through two devastating natural disasters, severe flooding in Kirkland in 1996 and a tornado that demolished the community of Fairdale in 2015.
Lee said that once he found out that she and her family were OK after the Fairdale tornado, Bellah went into protection mode and did everything he could to help the people of Fairdale, from providing police and fire services to fundraising.
“He didn’t sleep for four days after the tornado because he was so busy,” Lee said.
Rep. Bob Pritchard, R-Hinckley, knew Bellah since 2003 and said he was a model of trying to live life to its fullest and doing the best job possible for the sake of the people in his community.
In honor of his 30 years of service to Kirkland, the Illinois House presented Bellah with a special certificate for helping to shape and guide his community.
Growing up, Lee said her father had a rough childhood that involved him moving around constantly and spending some time within the foster care system.
Sarah Slavenas, prevention program director for Safe Passage domestic violence and sexual assault prevention service, said Bellah had been a guest speaker at the agency’s Evening of Chocolate fundraiser in 2015, where he recounted his experiences growing up in a home where domestic violence had been a regular occurrence.
Although he was never able to serve because of health reasons, Lee said Bellah was very involved in supporting the armed forces and helped to fund a veterans memorial in the Franklin Township Park.
His childhood also prevented him from being actively involved in the Boy Scouts of America growing up, but he participated in multiple ceremonies of boys who attained rank of Eagle Scouts.
A die-hard Cubs fan, Bellah was in tears when third baseman Kris Bryant made the game-winning out to first baseman Anthony Rizzo in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series in November.
Playing into his love of music, Bellah wrote and recorded a song years ago that his family has shared over the years titled ‘Those Doggone Cubs.’ A recording of the song is available on Youtube.
The family is planning on holding a celebration of Bellah’s life at Franklin Township Park in Kirkland at a later date for the public to share memories and stories.
Bellah is survived by his wife, Patsy, with whom he shared nearly 50 years of marriage; daughter Shannon (Brian) Lee and son Scotty (Jamie) Bellah of Sycamore. He also is survived by grandchildren Naomi Franklin, Maddy Bellah, Lizzie Sechrest and Carter Fox Lee.

Recently I was a little bold and picked up a few Chanel products. Chanel is definitely one of my favourite high end brands. I think I have only ever purchased one product from their range that I didn't like. Looking back at my photo now I should have used Chanel eyeshadows, but I have used up my all time favourite Chanel eye shadows that is the Mystic Eyes palette. That's the thing with Chanel because it is so expensive you tend to use the entire product. Anyway, here is my FOTD with mainly Chanel. I will have reviews coming up on my new products.
What is your favourite product from Chanel?

Is Whole Life Insurance The Best Plan For Senior Citizens?
You have worked hard much of your life making sure that your family had everything they required and more, to make them healthy as well as entertained. At this moment you are a bit older and you want to be sure that they are secured even if you are no longer amongst the living.
This is the correct time to obtain life insurance when you are concerned about healthcare bills, final expense insurance and debts that will be handed down by your family should you die. The ideal life insurance plan gives safety and whole life insurance policy is a good option for seniors who can afford it.
Looking for the appropriate policy will ease the financial and emotional tension usually associated with the loss of a beloved person. Whole life insurance is a policy that remains in effect for as long as the insurance holder lives and pays the premiums. The only way this plan drops is by not paying the desired amount of money.
This policy will not only save money, but will also develop cash value that will be also collected by the nominated inheritors. Contrary to term life, when you are insured, you will not have to worry for paying more when you get sick or older. With whole life, you pay a large sum as premium straight away, however the return will be huge as soon as the death of the insured.
It is not uncommon for beneficiaries to acquire several millions of dollar, if the policy was well funded for several decades. This, certainly, depends on the policy owner and also the choices made.
Life insurance is costly and it is advised to seniors that can spend a little more money. Prior to making any decision, you must see what is on the insurance market and assess all the rates. Select the businesses that provide suited prices for your budget and goals.

Arriving in Pokhara on a beautiful Saturday afternoon was a great transition from being at the Monastery. I couldn’t have asked for a better day; bright sunshine, clear blue skies and few tourists (it is still technically monsoon season here). I had met two Nepali woman on the bus who took care of me, making sure that I had language lessons while we were travelling and getting me a cab for a local rate when I arrived. I found a beautiful guesthouse up on a hill overlooking the lake and the World Peace Pagoda across the way. There is no path to this place, it is accessible only by walking along the ridges in the rice paddies. The town of Pokhara is a great place to meet people. It seems like everyone I talk to has come here for a short visit and ended up staying, many for months. I can completely understand this. It is a beautiful area. The lake is surrounded by small mountains, which are then backed up by the Himalayas. On a clear day, you can find a couple of good spots to get a view of the Annapurna range, with its beautiful snow-capped, rugged and crazy high peaks.
As chilled out and comfortable as Pokhara is, I was quickly itching to get out of town and explore the incredible terrain. Luckily, my neighbour was also ready to go exploring. Together, we met another long-term traveller who was interested in coming along and the three of us sketched out a plan to head up to the Panchase Mountain, along the Panchase ridge trek over to the Sarangkot Lookout and back down to Pokhara. This would take us from about 900m up to 2100m the first day, then over, down and back up to 1600m the second day, and finally wrapping up back in Pokhara at 800m on the third day. I have learned that the treks here aren’t really discussed in terms of distance covered, but elevation and days taken. We met the next morning, had breakfast and got on the local bus (also the school bus) into the valley to get to the trail head. The bus took us as far as it could down a road that in spots was certainly not what I would have been able to identify as a road, before dropping us at the foot bridge crossing the river. Once on the other side of the river, we began to climb…up, up, up. It was a hike that made me realize that my fitness level is not where it used to be. However, I was able to keep up to Jan and Edo (who are both experienced trekkers) and was even able to keep from thinking the type of grumpy thoughts that usually invade my mind in the up portions of hikes, which made it a very good experience. We passed through some open areas where we could look down into the valley and get a proper appreciation of just how high we had climbed. It also quickly became apparent that this was not a high traffic route, as we passed only one other group of trekkers. It seemed that we had the whole mountain to ourselves.
Going higher into the mountains, we came across our first secluded village. If you can close your eyes and picture what a post card of a Nepali Mountain Village would look like, then somehow make that even more stunning, this is what we were greeted with. Stone walls winding up through vibrant green paddies, leading up to a small collection of clay brick houses between which the buffalo lingered around the meandering mountain stream. This description still does not do it justice, but the image is one that I am sure I will revisit many times in my dreams. We kept going and soon came to a more level stretch of the path where we paused for lunch. The guys took a swim in the river while I became enthralled by the various different kinds of minerals and rocks in the stream (yikes, there’s my geo-geek coming through again). After a short flat section, we came to another village where I got my first glimpse of one of the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. We were standing on the path beside a stone fence, on the other side of which a woman was hunched over tending to the rice. She seemed a little surprised when I let out a huge gasp at the sight of the mountain. It may seem strange that the sight of mountain, which is logically just another landform, could send such shivers down my spine, but that is exactly what happened. I was awestruck! The clouds slowly revealed other peaks, changing the show and keeping me captivated. Eventually, we made it to our destination; a group of 3 guesthouses at the base of the Panchase peak. As we arrived, the mist rolled in around us giving the place a mysterious and sort of magical feel. We settled into our room, which consisted of four platform beds on a clay floor with a thatched roof in a house run by 3 generations of beautiful Nepali women (the grandmother with an infectious laugh), just as the rain started. It poured in the monsoon way until noon the next day. A the first sign of clearing we were off again. It was a late start, but the weather held out most of the way to our next stop, only clouding over for a misty walk through the woods that felt like we were walking through a secret fairyland. We arrived in a small village outside of Sarangkot just as dusk was turning into darkness, and found a room in a house below a field with a great view north to the mountains. Early the next morning, we were given another Himalaya peak vs cloud spectacle. The three of us sat and watched as the view changed with the rolling clouds, and again I was awestruck. Soon, the show ended as the clouds closed in and our journey continued. We arrived in Sarangkot around 11:30am and had a good view of Pokhara and the Paragliders slowly winding their way into the valley below us. It was close to lunch time so we scoped out a good place for dal bhat (a trekking staple). As we sat waiting for the food, I snoozed and the guys chatted about their adventures around the world. The only thing left for us to do was to descend the windy trail back down to Pokhara, which was also the only portion of the trek that we did in the rain.
It was nice to get back and drop my bag, but as soon as we were amongst the cafes, guest houses and other travellers, my heart was wishing we were back in the mountains, laughing with the 3 generations of ladies while squatting in the clay kitchen eating dal baht. It was a beautiful experience, and although I have rattled on and on about it, I could easily keep going. I now have a few days to relax and prepare myself before heading off for my next mountain adventure. Only this time, I will not just be looking across at the majestic Himalayas, I will be amongst them.

Your pictures are beautiful and i am sure they don’t do the ‘real life’ view justice!
They don’t even scratch the surface, but they are a great reminder for me. Miss you!
I keep thinking about the kind of pictures someone like you could get here…you should add Nepal to your travels for sure!
you write as though you truly enjoy being-in-the-world.
Thank you Doug. I am certainly enjoying it! It just seems to get better and better.
Loved this blog entry. The scenery is certainly quite breathtaking in the photos and I can only imagine how amazing it must be to actually be there. I am so pleased that you are seeing all this firsthand and am thankful to be able to appreciate the majesty of the Himalayas vicariously through you.

Australian investors hungry for global stocks will have local trading access to tech giant Apple, and as many as 30 US names by mid 2019, as Chi-X Australia pushes the green light on a project that involved three years of planning.
The Apple trading will be available through "transferable custody receipts" (TraCRs) from Thursday. They are a new product which facilitates the trading of stocks like Apple in Australian dollars and on the Chi-X local exchange.
Each TraCR security represents one unit in the underlying US stock, giving local investors exposure and a beneficial interest to the financial performance and dividends of stocks in the S&P 500. The TraCRs are also convertible to the shares, subject to certain terms.
"Tech only accounts for about 2 per cent of the Australian market and that is where we started. "We are confident that it [TraCRs] will be a more efficient way for Aussies to buy international stocks."
The model sees an underlying Apple share held by a global custodian to reflect each TraCR. The TraCRs are unsponsored, meaning that they are not jointly issued by a company such as Apple.
While the next batch of TraCRs are yet to be approved, the alternative exchange's website points to other stocks that may follow as early as next week including Facebook Inc, JPMorgan, Microsoft Corp and Walt Disney. Those involved are targeting 25 to 30 stocks by mid next year.
Comsec is Minimium $65 per trade.
you can choose the currency you want to work in, although they still relate back to US$ from memory. good help desk, ask them.
I checked out the web site again Redned ....looks like one can open an account up in Canada. The Canadian $ has been appreciating against the $AUD. So will check this out.
The problem I have with US brokers is that I believe your funds are held in $US. Now if the $US continues to devalue....won't that have an impact on my overall returns...especially when I want to withdraw in $AUD. Or do i stand corrected?
bit messy to set up; but once done, is very good.
I use it mainly for TSX (canadian stocks) & futures trading. But US stocks also available.
Hi to the pro's on this site.
I am looking for an online broker that allows me to trade international shares. Only want to pay cash. Don't wish to trade these shares actively.....basically a buy and hold stratergy.
Commsec wants $65 per trade for US shares.
Any clues? Haven't found a thread on this query....if you have one please let me know.

Concrete admixture refers to the substance mixed in concrete according to different requirements to improve the performance of concrete. The mixing amount is generally no more than 5% of the cement mass (except special cases). Based on the main functions, admixtures mainly contain: •Water-reducing Agent It refers to the admixture used for reducing water consumption and strengthening functions when the slump degrees of mixtures are basically the same.
By raw materials and chemical components, water-reducing admixtures can be divided into: lignosulfonate, alkyl aryl sulfonates (commonly known as coal tar water-reducing admixture), sulfonated melamine-formaldehyde resin sulfonate (commonly known as melamine water-reducer), molasses and humic aid water-reducer and others. Based on performances and functions, water-reducing admixtures can be divided into: ordinary water-reducer, effective water-reducer, hardening water-reducer, retarder water-reducer, and air entraining water-reducer. Air Entraining Admixture Air entraining admixture refers to the admixture that entrains a large number of uniform, stable and closed tiny bubbles in the process of mixing concrete to reduce the segregation of concrete mixture, improve the workability, and also enhance anti-freeze ability and durability of concrete. It is a kind of surfactant, too. It has influences on concrete as follows: •It can improve the workability of concrete mixtures. The closed bubbles are like balls that can reduce the friction among cement particles to improve the mobility.
Meanwhile, the bubble film can play a role of water conservation. •It can enhance impermeability and frost resistance. The closed stomata entrained by air entraining admixture can effectively cut off the capillary porosity ducts and reduce pores caused by segregation to enhance impermeability. Meanwhile, the closed pores entrained can be an effective buffer for the expansion caused by water freeze to improve frost resistance. •Hardening accelerator Hardening accelerator refers to the admixture that can accelerate the development of early strength of concrete.
Generally, hardening accelerator can be divided into inorganic (chloride, sulfate, etc. ), organic (triethanolamine, tri-isopropanolamine, and sodium acetate, etc. ) and inorganic-organic compound, the three categories. It can accelerate the hydration and the hardening of cement, improve early strength, and shorten conservation cycle so as to enhance the turnover rate of templates and sites and speed up the construction process. It is especially used in winter construction (whose minimum temperature is not less than -5C) and emergency repair works.
•Set Retarder. Set retarder refers to the admixture that can delay the setting time of concrete mixing materials, and have no bad impact on the development of concrete’s latter strength. It often contains lignosulfonate, carbohydrate, inorganic salts and organic acids. The most common ones are calcium lignosulfonate and molasses. And the retardant effect of molasses is better. •Flash Setting Admixture Flash setting admixture refers to the admixture that can promote the rapid hardening of concrete. The concrete added by flash setting admixture can let the gypsum mixed in cement lose its retardant function to make concrete harden quickly.

Finding a vegan breakfast in Disney World is pretty easy nowadays, almost everywhere carries the vegan and gluten free Mickey waffles. But we can really only eat waffles every once in a while. So when you’re looking for somewhere else to find vegan breakfast we recommend one of our favorite spots for breakfast, Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Resort.
On our most recent visit to Kona Cafe we told our host that we were vegan and they marked it on our card for our server. When the server came to get our drink requests he mentioned he would grab a chef to speak with us. Chef Robert came out and we asked him about making the Tonga Toast vegan. He said of course and I asked about a tofu scramble, Tonga Toast sounded too heavy that morning. He asked what I would like with the scramble and I asked for potatoes.
After we received our french pressed 100% Kona coffee, which we recommend, our food arrived. At first we were confused as we had a few bowls of potatoes, Corey had ordered a side of potatoes so he assumed the first bowl was his, but then we realized one of those bowls was my scramble. Now as vegans, most of us picture tofu scramble as tofu and a bunch of vegetables, often mushrooms and onion at our house, but this was literally just tofu and potatoes. Much to my surprise, this scramble was absolutely delicious. The tofu was really crispy and it all had a strong garlic flavor.
While I was enjoying my bowl of tofu and potatoes, I asked our server about some toast with vegan butter he had delivered with our various other condiments. He left and quickly came back with some wheat toast with Smart Balance vegan butter. I love that most restaurants carry either Smart Balance or Earth Balance vegan butters now!
While I enjoyed my breakfast Corey was super excited about his Tonga Toast. Tonga Toast is a brick of sourdough bread that has been stuffed with bananas then deep-fried and rolled in cinnamon sugar. The Tonga Toast is fried in a shared fryer. Corey said his Tonga Toast was extra cinnamon-y and was the best he had ever eaten. Since Tonga Toast typically comes with a Strawberry Compote that contains dairy, the chefs typically give a side of fruit and some syrup.
We love eating at Kona Cafe before a morning at the Magic Kingdom. Each time we have been here we have been able to receive vegan Tonga Toast. If you don’t want Tonga Toast or scramble you can get vegan waffles here too.
Would we eat here again?
Yep, we try and go every trip!
I went to the Kona Cafe in October of 2015, and I was informed that the Tonga toast cannot be made vegan, nor has it ever been able to be made vegan. Perhaps we had a different chef when we went, but we unfortunately were unable to get it. The chef did, however, make us a delicious tofu scramble that looks similar to your tofu scramble from Ohana, and I would highly recommend that!

January 2015. Breckenridge, Colorado. Our Family Trip.
There’s nothing like a much-needed family vacation, right? Especially headed out of state, thousands of miles away from home to uncharted territory. Away from work, away from your normal daily duties. A place to relax and enjoy every moment. Even more with that place is Breckenridge, Colorado. My family and I talked about this vacation for years, ever since I was little.
We were finally headed to the mountains.
It was one of the coolest trips I had been on in my entire life.
I personally don’t like to live with many regrets, but planning for this trip I left out one major thing to do before departure – ditch my glasses. It’s not something I thought about when making all the final trip arrangements. Between making sure we had plane tickets to shampoos and toothpaste, ski boots to snacks. I didn’t think I would be limiting myself by ensuring I packed all the necessary ‘eye gear’. I thought I was just being prepared.
While we all went out to rent our skis & poles, I realized I couldn’t fit any of the recommended ski-goggles over my prescription glasses. The sun was entirely too bright to head out without the protective sunglasses either. Believe me, I tried. I even thought about trying to head out on the ice without my glasses and just the goggles, but nothing says you’re a newbie out on the snow like falling a million times.
I know you’re probably thinking, why didn’t I just wear contacts? For me, while glasses were a huge pain – contacts were way worse. I couldn’t deal with the dry eye and constant irritation so I avoided them at all cost.
So, while everyone else headed out, I stayed back and watched.
It ended up being one of the few regrets I've dealt with in my life. Other than the fact that I didn’t consider LASIK sooner.
I had my LASIK in December 2016 and I’ve loved every moment since.
Water gun fights with my niece.
Waking up and being able to see!

Mistress Lily likes to get her feet licked. She enjoys it a lot and is always doing it. She had a day off from work and she wanted to make the most of it. She slept till late and when she woke up, she asked her slave to go to her room and she had him lick her feet as well as smell her socks. She wanted to be pampered so she also got a foot massage.

Sorry, we don't have any stats for the distribution of Abdelgader in the 1881 Census.
Sorry, we don't have any stats for the distribution of Abdelgader in the 21st Century.
The maps, if available, show both where there are more people named Abdelgader and where they are most concentrated.
The darker the colour, the more people in that county are named Abdelgader.
The larger the dot, the greater the proportion of people in that county are named Abdelgader.

Students, parents and a few staff members from the Sacred Heart School, enjoyed comet viewing on the evening of January 20, 2014, at the Kohout-Dingley Observatory located on the school's campus in Kingston, MA. The event was planned and presented by Insight Observatory. The comet that was on display was Comet Lovejoy C/2014 Q2. The event featured a display of a 3-D model entitled "Anatomy of a Comet" that was designed and constructed by Insight Observatory's Creative Director, Paul Bonfilio. Paul greeted the attendees of the event as they entered the observatory and presented them with a brief lecture of what a comet actually is utilizing his 3-D model. After the audience listened to Paul's lecture, followed up with some questions and answers, the guests then proceeded up the stairs of the observatory to get a glimpse of this rare celestial visitor through the observatory's 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, operated by Insight Observatory's Project Developer, Michael Petrasko.
a comet to students and parents.
The seeing conditions for viewing the comet through the telescope were only fair due to scattered clouds that rolled in over the course of the event. However, the thin clouds didn't hinder the observers from seeing Comet Lovejoy's nucleus and dust tail. Even though only a pair of binoculars would be more than ideal to observe the comet, the telescope's wide-field eyepiece provided observers to see about 50% of the comet in the field of view. It turns out that this evening allowed all of the attendees to get their first view of a comet ever.
C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) is a long-period comet discovered on 17 August 2014 by Terry Lovejoy using an 8" Schmidt–Cassegrain telescope. The comet was discovered at apparent magnitude 15 in the southern constellation of Puppis. It is the fifth comet discovered by Terry Lovejoy.
By December 2014, the comet had brightened to roughly magnitude 7.4, making the comet a small telescope and binoculars target. By mid-December, the comet was visible to the naked eye for experienced observers with dark skies and keen eyesight.
On 28−29 December 2014, the comet passed 1/3° from globular cluster Messier 79. It brightened to roughly magnitude 4−5 and became one of the brightest comets located high in a dark sky in years. On 7 January 2015, the comet passed 0.469 AU ( 43,600,000 miles) from Earth. It crossed the celestial equator on 9 January 2015 becoming better seen from the northern hemisphere. The comet will come to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) on 30 January 2015 at a distance of 1.29 AU (120,000,000 miles) from the Sun.

– “Are you ready to fly?”.
The turtle was shocked and amazed enjoying the beauty of the bird’s wings, sometimes blinded when they made curtains in front of his eyes.
– “Walk some steps, walk until I say… there!, now, close your eyes!
The bird flew up, leaving behind him the most beautiful view of the beach from that height.
Her body didn´t seem to be so heavy at all. She could feel the strong breeze between her legs, as if they were wings. From afar, she could see the stone where she used to sit and watch the birds flying. Her life was so beautiful from this height, part of the landscape but distant at the same time.
– “Never raise your expectations! Let the world surprise you” – said the little bird.
The turtle understood the amazing secret for the first time. She understood that kind of happiness for the first time.
Back on the beach, sitting on her stone, she was never the same never again. She could now see the birds and fly with them. She only needed to close her eyes, to feel the breeze on her body, as though she had wings.
She could feel the colours, the smells, the sounds around her. She felt like she was part of that immensity in spite of being so small.
And, above all, she never stopped hearing that soft voice whispering into her ear, saying: “Enjoy your flight!”. Making her really happy ever since.

Phillies 12, Cubs 1: Cody Asche belted his first major-league homer among his three hits and Darin Ruf added a two-run blast as host Philadelphia's romped in the rubber match of the three-game series.
Ethan Martin (1-1) was the beneficiary of the offensive eruption, giving up one run and four hits over five innings to earn his first major-league victory in his second career start. John McDonald clubbed a two-run homer in the eighth to cap the scoring as the Phillies improved to 4-14 since the All-Star break.
Philadelphia turned the game into a laugher with a six-run fourth inning to knock out Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija (6-11). Asche capped the rally with a two-run shot off reliever Eduardo Sánchez and Domonic Brown added a two-run single in the uprising to end Samardzija's dismal outing.
Samardzija lasted only 3 1/3 innings, matching a career low, and was pummeled for a career worst-tying nine runs on 11 hits. Chase Utley and Michael Martinez each had two hits and an RBI for Philadelphia, which scored 10 of its 12 runs in the second through fourth innings.
Nate Schierholtz belted his 15th homer, a solo shot in the fourth inning for Chicago, which was denied in its bid to win a series from the Phillies for the first time since April 2001.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Samardzija's previous shortest start also came against the Phillies, in his first major-league start on Aug. 12, 2009. ... 3B Michael Young was a late scratch from the starting lineup due to tightness in his right hamstring for the Phillies, who also announced Thursday that Utley's two-year contract extension is official and claimed OF Casper Wells on waivers from the Chicago White Sox. ... The Cubs, who placed RHP Matt Guerrier (elbow) on the 60-day disabled list and OF Thomas Neal (dislocated shoulder) on the 15-day DL, will send C Dioner Navarro for an MRI exam once the swelling in his ankle subsides. ... Chicago continues its road trip on Friday night with three games at St. Louis while Philadelphia heads to Washington to open a three-game series.

Dear Running Doc: I’m a 41-year-old aerobics instructor and run NYRR races every weekend. When I run in the city, I am constantly turning my head and last week I developed pain in my neck muscles and my husband feels tons of knots in there. My sports doc, after a ton of tests including a normal MRI said I have “trigger points”. What are they? Linda K. Westbury, New York.
Thanks Linda for the question. Trigger points are the tiny knots in the muscle your husband feels. They are hard spots that may be very small or as large as a quarter and are painful to press on. As usual, understanding the cause will help you get rid of them.
This is a simple short-circuit to solve. Step one: Fill a paper cup with water, freeze it, then rub the trigger points –easily felt with your fingertips -- with a circular motion for 15 minutes once a day. If that doesn’t do it, get yourself to a state licensed massage therapist, who will have seen all this before and know exactly how to break up the knots. If after 2 weeks you are not better, then see a sports physician and get a prescription for physical therapy. Not only can a physical therapist do directed soft tissue release and guided supervised stretching on tough trigger points, but they can also give you electronic galvanic stimulation, those electric pads that put an electric current you can barely feel on it right in the middle of that short-circuit. This alone can beat that stubborn short circuit at its own game! Injections of PRP have also help break that circuit.
I am certainly not suggesting that everyone do neurology self-taught. But if anyone starts getting sciatic-like symptoms in arms or legs without an identifiable injury and they can feel a new quarter-sized lump in the back or neck, think trigger point. They probably need a Dixie cup before ever needing that sports doctor!

When the weather forecast calls for an unusually hot day across Southern California, that’s your cue.
Turn on the garden hose, shade those plants, mulch.
While most plants can endure triple-digit temperatures, they suffer when the heat comes on suddenly.
At Descanso Gardens in La Cañada Flintridge, nearly three-quarters of the historic camellia collection (7,000 of its 10,000 plants) got sunburned when temperatures jumped overnight from 75 degrees to 115 degrees.
When a plant is dry, explained Robert Kitaro, a tree and shrub buyer for Armstrong Garden Centers, it’s already stressed, and so it’s more prone to damage when the thermostat suddenly jumps.
Kitaro said he allows a garden hose to trickle at the base of his trees for several hours to saturate the root zone to a depth of at least 18 inches deep.
In general, deep watering in the early morning or evening is recommended so “when the heat does hit, plants can withstand the higher temperatures,” Jill Morganelli, the horticultural supervisor at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in Arcadia. “If you don’t prepare and then try to catch up in the thick of it, it’s too late: the plants are already in survival mode.
“You can prune away some of the damage, but you also need to leave some of the damage to create a lacey shade,” said Morganelli, adding teepees made of cut leafy branches protect tender young plants throughout the Arboretum.
A patio umbrella or bed sheets and landscape shade cloth suspended on the sunny side of a plant can also create a buffer.
To cool roots, add a layer of mulch (coarse bark mulch is best) that’s 3 to 4-inches thick around plants but several inches away from the stalk or trunk to hold in moisture.
And if you plan to put in a garden this fall, consider growing plants, shrubs, and trees that can take the heat.
“In Southern California, Sunset zones are preferred over USDA zones due to their greater accuracy,” said Janet Hartin, an environmental horticulture advisor for the University of California Cooperative Extension in San Bernardino, Riverside and L.A. counties.
Hartin added there are a number of search engines available for helping people find species adapted to the larger climate and specific conditions the plant will be grown under, including sun, shade, near buildings or swimming pools. They include the California Native Plant Society’s Calscape and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo’s SelecTree.
Seeing what thrives around your neighborhood and nearby botanical gardens is another.
At Descanso Gardens, there are plenty of colorful, blooming plants that can tolerate unexpected extreme temperatures for inspiration, such as lavender, evergreen “Marina” strawberry tree with red bark and a peachy bell-shaped flower, conebushes, and sunflowers (which you can plant through the end of July).
Among its camellia collection, there’s the Camellia reticulata native to China that proved more heat resilient than the traditional Camellia japonica – it’s the Japanese variety that is commonly grown throughout Southern California and suffered extensive damage.
But Young said the damage was only to the outer foliage.

You can also download and print the PDF!
You create consistent results when you repeat the same actions in the same way, over a certain period of time.
Here are some tips to help you on your journey.
Commit to be consistent with one result and one (delightful) activity at a time.
Set targets to track your progress and keep yourself focused.
Stay open to the lessons if and when you fall off the “consistency wagon.” And then pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and get back on.
Creating consistent results in your business is a journey – it’s not something that happens overnight. It takes time, commitment, and the willingness to take action.

It’s also what will help you stay on task and not wander too far off in a different direction when new opportunities present themselves to you along the way.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how important is it for you to start creating consistent results in your business right now?

Summer – The smell of coconut oil in the air, long days and beach tans are what the Australian summer is all about. It’s a time for reconnecting with mates, catching up on some sleep and the enjoying longer days and warmer weather.
Summer Holidays need not be stressful, once the hectic Christmas and end of year wind down are over, January is the month to kick back and take it a little bit slower. And if you are one of the lucky ones that have most of January off even better.
The long-awaited summer holidays are just about to arrive for many of us, and the joy of having some downtime is fast approaching. Time to shut off the brain a little bit, and try not to think about too much until at least mid-January. It’s a time to wind down from a busy year, do less, and enjoy more.
Thursday is that day of the week when you are nearly at Friday, but not quite. You can already taste the weekend vibes, but you just need to push through one more day of work…. And cooking, especially as we head toward the end of the year can be the last thing on your mind….

The solution? Train the trainer ( peer training ). Offer the safety training to a “first wave” of employees from all levels of the company. Include line operators, team leads, supervisors, and even various levels of management.
Upon completing the training, these people become your safety trainers, coaches, and mentors to their peers. As their co-workers see a positive difference that safe-lifting techniques make, adoption is likely and effective in both the short- and long term. What starts as a safe-lifting training becomes a safe-lifting habit. In the meantime, schedule the training for each operational employee and make it clear that everyone will, at some point, participate in the training as part of their job. Most importantly, make it known that each employee has the support of their peers to ensure their success. Peer-to-peer training succeeds where corporate-to-operational training fails. Operational staff responds to each other far more readily than to someone who is perceived as distant or disengaged.
PowerLift’s unique peer-to-peer training style of material handling safety training gives companies the opportunity to build on their existing safety culture or to be the foundation of a new one. Safety training is better received if it is presented to the trainees by someone they know and work with on a day-to-day basis. When your trainers are a constant fixture at your facility the margin for success grows exponentially.

Are teacher-led and learner-led approaches compatible?
As learner-led/learner-centred learning and teaching oriented methods and principles gain attention and popularity, teachers, curriculum developers, and instructional designers are incorporating them into learning activities and courses. Many report mixed results and issues when they do so. The following article examines one possible contributing factor to such results and issues.
Firstly, I’m not arguing that teacher-led and learner-led views of learning and teaching practice are absolutes or binary states. I view them as being on the same scale from extremely prescribed and controlled by the teacher, e.g. the stereotypical Victorian school master, through to entirely self-organised, defined, controlled, and sustained learning by autonomous learners themselves, e.g. special interest groups and communities of practice, and I believe that most online curricula and learning and teaching practices are situated somewhere in between.
An experienced, well-informed teacher has developed an online course that is predominantly teacher-led. The course uses online presentations, readings, webinars, and forum discussions which are intensively monitored led by the teacher. The teacher conscientiously provides guidance, instructional scaffolding, and links to further resources at every turn. The teacher then decides to introduce some learner-led projects, problems, or tasks to the course (Perhaps as a way to make the course less labour intensive for the teacher?).
However, only a small minority of the learners participate as much as expected and/or required, and the majority go “off track”, waste time, and/or complain about aspects of the activity or the whole activity. The learning outcomes are mediocre at best or even poor, and it’s difficult to regain the previous “learning momentum” of the course.
Why did this happen? Is there something wrong with the activity? Is there some way to make it more productive? I suspect that in most cases, the activity is adequately designed and not the main contributor to the issue.
What contributes to these tensions?
If a course is predominantly teacher-led to start with, it creates an atmosphere and learning experiences that set up learners’ expectations that are aligned with being led and having critical learning decisions being made for them, or the feeling that any decisions they make need to be validated or approved by an authority figure; the teacher.
Additionally, some of the prerequisite conditions necessary for learner-led learning to occur, e.g. social presence and building autonomous, mutually respectful, and productive relationships between teachers and learners, and among the learners themselves, may not be in place and may have gone unnoticed since they aren’t critical to the success of teacher-led approaches. When suddenly faced with the responsibility of thinking autonomously, analytically, and critically, and having to work closely with peers, who they may or may not have got to know very well, and without the supervision, guidance, and approval of their authority figure (the teacher), the majority of learners’ expectations are not met; they feel lost, unsupported, and confused.
In my experience, the majority of learners are perfectly capable of being autonomous, thinking analytically and critically, and taking responsibility for their learning; most people do so from an early age in their public and private lives outside of education. However, because of most people’s previous experiences of education and strongly held cultural beliefs about it, we need to be explicit when asking learners to do so in situations and environments labelled “educational” and cultivate the atmosphere, and provide the environment, support, and resources that are necessary. Learners need to get to know each other and learn about what each of their peers on a course has to offer with regards to the subject matter and learning objectives. They need to build interpersonal relationships and cultivate trust so that they have the confidence to explore, experiment, and take risks and feel that they have the interest, approval, and support of their peers as well as their teacher.
I’m not arguing here that teacher-led and learner-led methods and activities are inherently incompatible, just that from what I’ve seen in practice in the majority of instances, both in face-to-face and online contexts, tensions and issues can and do arise when certain conditions and factors aren’t taken into consideration. When we break with educational traditions and orthodoxies, and/or atmospheres of learning that have been cultivated within organisations, we need to be explicit about what we’re doing and why, and ensure that the prerequisite conditions are in place for learner-directed learning experiences to be purposeful, successful, and productive.
What can learners and teachers do to limit corporate surveillance while working online?
Since security and surveillance expert Edward Snowden blew the whistle and leaked damning NSA documents to investigative journalists Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald, the implications and ramifications of the NSA’s dragnet surveillance, partly enabled by IT giants like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook, have been cause for concern everywhere, and not least in elearning. As educators we bear a responsibility to our learners and other educators to protect their basic civil rights wherever and whenever we can. By being well-informed about internet surveillance and the tools and strategies available, we can offer useful, effective advice and help to reduce both the quality and quantity of personal data collected from them in the course of their online studies and work.
Why is internet surveillance an important issue?
So, What can learners and teachers do to limit corporate surveillance while working online?
Turn off local storage on Flash Player: Local Shared Objects (LSOs) are used extensively by surveillance organisations, including Google, because they reveal more information about users’ computers and software, making it easier to uniquely identify individuals, and LSOs aren’t deleted when you clear/purge your browsers’ cache, i.e. they’re more persistent. The benefits of allowing LSOs is minor and easy to live without.
Along with your IP address and HTTP headers, cookies are the primary means of identifying and tracking individuals. There are several cookie manager extensions/plugins available for browsers that manage cookies for you. Those that you want to keep, e.g. for sites that you want to remain logged into, you can white-list them, everything else gets deleted when you navigate away from the site. My favourite is Self-destructing cookies for Firefox.
Rather than use Google, Yahoo!, or Bing as your search provider, why not use one of the more ethical and privacy protecting services? They don’t store your search history or your IP address and as an added advantage, they don’t filter their search results according to a personal search history profile thereby preventing the “filter bubble” phenomenon which can hide useful, relevant results from users.
The browser plugin for Firefox and Chrome TrackMeNot periodically generates random but convincingly genuine search strings and sends them to search engines that may be tracking you. This “muddies” the profile they can build up on you, making it less accurate and less revealing about you.
Using different web browsers, e.g. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome, Chromium, and Opera, for different purposes puts up barriers between surveillance companies that use the same tracking techniques, e.g. “+”, “Like”, and “Share” buttons (In many cases, you don’t have to click on them, they’re watching you anyway), across multiple websites. For example, use one browser for searches and another one for social networking sites, and another one for logging into email (or better still use a free and open source email client that doesn’t send tracking data to surveillance companies, e.g. Thunderbird.
This is one that organisations’ IT support can implement on their users’ behalf. A proxy can filter out personally revealing information from HTTP requests and in some cases hide users’ IP addresses.
Why if my school/college/university/institution has switched to using Google services?
It would be expensive and difficult to switch back, so more than likely not a feasible option for many organisations. The best advice I can think of is to create Google accounts specifically for use with that educational organisation and don’t use those for anything else and, if you already use Google services, e.g. GMail, Google+, and/or GCalendar, migrate to a different service provider; preferably a more ethical one, if that’s possible. The idea is to create as many barriers as possible between your private life and your studies and work, and reduce the quality and quantity of your personal information and internet usage habits that are available to one single surveillance organisation.
TOR (The Onion Router) is at the extreme end of anti-surveillance techniques. It’s quite restrictive and only practical for searching for and viewing a narrower range of web media, e.g. viewing Flash-based media such as video and audio can reveal personally identifiable information thereby defeating the purpose of using TOR. TOR would be particularly useful for users researching politically and culturally sensitive topics, e.g. child abuse, sexual behaviour, terrorism, copyright infringement, and political activism, that might lead to inappropriate interventions by security and law enforcement agencies (or get followed around the web by some highly inappropriate targeted advertising!) It’s widely used by journalists, political activists, and people who want to circumvent censorship and surveillance around the world. TOR comes in a ready configured, optimised, easy to use, standalone package called the TOR Browser Bundle which can also be run from a USB thumb drive or CD ROM.

@JenAshley13 We do not anymore we have moved to leeds beckett uni. We have a social club night on sundays 5 till 7.
For us, it's not all about serious training; but we love it when our teams win. We are just as enthusiastic about our groups that simply meet for fun.
A part of club life we are trying to promote is the social aspect, so that after club and match nights a trip to the local pub would be encouraged. We're always happy to welcome new members who are interested in joining in with club activities, helping us organise events or excursions and being part of our community.

There are plenty of ways of creating redirects for URLs but before I get into the different ways that I think are the easiest, let me explain why it’s essential to set up redirects to begin with.
Why It’s Essential To Set Up Redirects?
A redirect is a webpage or URL that points to another URL. That may not sound like it matters too much but having a visitor land on your dreaded 404 – Page Not Found can make or break if they purchase your product, subscribe to your newsletter or even consider returning back to your site at all!
Let’s break down the different reasons why it’s essential to set up a redirect.
You’ll Lose Out On A Potential Sale Or Subscriber – As I just mentioned, a visitor landing on a 404 page can make or break if they purchase a product, subscribe to your newsletter or even return at all. More often than not, it’s the latter of the two.
No One Likes A “404 – Page Not Found” – Nothing is worse than landing on a webpage for something you’re desperately looking for and it not being there.
Okay, maybe there are plenty of things worse but I hate the feeling of expectations not being fulfilled. I’m sure I’m not the only one!
The chances that visitor decides to look through the rest of your site after landing on a 404 page is pretty slim.
Your Site Will Look Bad – Okay, if you have one page that leads to a 404 page, it happens. But if most of your indexed pages or linked posts lead to it, it doesn’t make you or your site look good at all.
When Should You Set Up Redirects?
Whenever you delete an indexed or linked post.
If you change the permalink of an indexed or linked post.
There are plenty of other instances in which you should set up redirects but those are just a few I could think of that I’ve been through.
You’ll want to locate where your .htaccess file (this is used to check for information on how to handle errors, security, redirects) in your root directory. If you’re using HostGator or any hosting that uses cPanel, it’ll be under “File Manager” then the “public_html” folder.
Make sure to check to see if the redirect works! To do this, simply open up a new private browser (make sure it’s private so it’s not cached by your computer) and type in the old URL.
Click “Add”. This writes all the information to the .htaccess file, exactly like the previous option.
If you run a WordPress website, the easiest way is to install a redirect plugin. The one that I use is called “Redirection”. Simply install the plugin and tweak your settings.
I really like this plugin, not only because it makes everything so easy, but it also helps track things such as how many times your redirects have redirected your visitors and all the old URL’s that lead to your “404 – Page Not Found” page.
If you already have a list of redirects from an existing .htaccess file or a CSV file, you can upload it under the “Options” tab.

Meet the Hybrids explores the lived experience of eight individuals who understand that they are part-human and part-extraterrestrial. Guided by their star families and other entities, they are dedicated to personal missions which contribute to a larger process involving the flourishing of human consciousness, and the protection and evolution of life on Earth at this critical time. Based on over 100 hours of interviews and conversations, this book gives each of the hybrids their own voice. They share their personal journeys of discovery, their abilities, and the joys and challenges of living a dual existence. They invite the reader to radically expand their understanding of reality itself, and pursue their own evolution. The hybrid phenomenon brings us closer than ever before to understanding the ETs themselves, and offers answers to some of humanity's biggest questions. "As an investigative journalist studying complex evidence of an ET presence on Earth, it has emerged that hybrids with human and ET DNA are emerging in increasing numbers. But why? Insights to that question from people who identify as hybrids are the core of this important book. Miguel Mendonca and Barbara Lamb have courageously focused on one of this planet's forbidden subjects." - Linda Moulton Howe, Reporter and Editor for Earthfiles.com, and Investigative Reporter for Coast to Coast AM "Meet the Hybrids is a cutting edge dialogue which offers an in-depth perspective from individuals who connect to a hybrid state of being. As a therapist and researcher this information is an extremely valuable resource. For those who identify as hybrids it will be both validating and healing-confirming that they are not alone. A landmark book." - Mary Rodwell, Principal of ACERN, author of Awakening.
Miguel Mendonca is an Anglo-Azorean writer of fiction and non-fiction, in which he explores truth, relationships, consciousness and ufology. He is the author of five books. Barbara Lamb is a licensed psychotherapist, hypnotherapist and regression therapist in Southern California. She has worked with over 1,700 people in relation to extraterrestrial encounters. She has co-authored two books, Alien Experiences and Crop Circles Revealed.

Many congratulations to our day pass winner, Emily Rainsford Ryan. We look forward to welcoming her to the Ballymaloe Garden Festival on either the Saturday or Sunday, on the weekend of August 31st.
Do check out the complete programme of events here. And remember we have the Big Shed full of food and plant stalls, family fun and live music as well.
I hope to see many of you there! Fingers crossed for sunshine!
Ballymaloe Garden Festival - Win a Day Pass!
It's such a beautiful time of the year. The gardens and greenhouses are just so lovely at the moment. I know it sounds like a cliche, but when I walk around, I just can't help but give thanks to the good Lord that I live in the middle of a farm and that we have the opportunity to grow and produce so much of our own produce.
Inspired and buoyed up the success of Lit Fest this May and the glorious summer we have been enjoying, we have decided to have our first Ballymaloe Garden Festival at the end of this month! We are, needless to say, both hugely excited, and incredibly busy, planning what we hope will be another magical event! Do read on for your chance to win a day pass!
Once again events will take place in both the Grainstore and Big Shed at Ballymaloe House, and here at the Cookery School in Shanagarry. So mark the weekend of August 31st in your diaries and join us - it looks to be an incredible line up, with many of my personal gardening heroes, gathered in our glorious surroundings. See the complete programme of events.
The festival is dedicated to sustainable gardening, and we are so excited to be welcoming so many inspiring experts to share their knowledge with us, ranging from rare plants to garden design, wetland systems, urban gardening and herbal medicine, through to flower arranging and cooking with flowers.
We are delighted to be welcoming back familiar names from Lit Fest. Guardian newspaper gardening columnist, author and presenter Alys Fowler will lead foraging walks through the gardens at Ballymaloe and Michael Kelly will inspire you to “Grow it Yourself”. Gerard Mullen, Bloom 2013 gold medal winner will talk garden design using our native materials. Helen Dillon, award winning creator of The Dillon Garden in Dublin, will speak about the evolution of her garden."The doyenne of the kitchen garden", Joy Larkcom will be speaking, as will Madeline McKeever of Brown Envelope Seeds, Jim Wilson from Irish wildlife, as well as our Ballymaloe crew - myself, Rory O’Connell, Elizabeth O’Connell, and Susan Turner.
There will be workshops, garden walks and talks on composting; the almost forgotten skill of seed saving; foraging, preserving and pickling natures’ bounty; flower arranging with natural and native flowers; painting flowers in watercolour; wild birds, bees, butterflies and much more.
And if you want to explore our beautiful farm and gardens here at Ballymaloe Cookery School, there will be a free guided tour at 3pm on both days.
The Big Shed at Ballymaloe will once again be abloom with abundant plant, craft and food stalls. There will be music and fun fringe events for all the family.
Tickets for the events will be available on the day at the door and prices range from €8-12, and a number of them are free. Day passes, which cover entry to all events for €45 are available online now.
ONE lucky person can win a DAY PASS for either Saturday OR Sunday. Just tell us below which day you want to come and why. We will choose our favourite answer at midday (BST) on Wednesday 21st August. Be sure to leave contact details (either email/ Facebook/ Twitter) with your answer.

Of the three popular methods to evaluate comparable sales ("comps") - distance radius, sales recency and least adjustment - least adjustment is the most powerful method.
Since most comps are pooled from a limited distance within the same neighborhood and older sales are generally time adjusted, distance and sales recency become less powerful methods than the least adjustment.
The comps that require the least (quantitative) adjustments in terms of time and attributes are generally the best comps (in the above example, Least Adjustment is derived off the 'Total Adjustment' column). Remember, while determining least adjustments, signs are always ignored; therefore, +$3,000 and -$3,000 are tied.
Also, when the scored pool is large enough (a pool of 10 comps is considered large), it is advisable to remove the two outliers (i.e., comps with lowest and highest adjusted sale prices - # 3 and 5 in this example) before applying the selection.
Based on this method, five comps closest to the subject (in linear distance) are selected. Notice that the outliers didn't influence the top five here.
Obviously, this method requires the selection of the five most recent comps (in terms of the Sale Dates), post removal of the outliers, of course.
Again, since Distance and Recency are already baked in the scoring, they become less powerful as final comps selection methods than their Least Adjustment counterpart. Therefore, a good home valuation system must provide for Least Adjustment alongside Distance and Recency.
I picked the above tables and spatial graphics from Homequant.com as I own and operate it, to avoid having to deal with any copyright issues. My Homequant site is totally self-directed (no modeled values), totally free (no strings), and requires no login or registration whatsoever. Please use the system that works best for you.
All adjustments in Homequant are linear. In Automated Valuation Modeling (AVM), non-linear adjustments (due to the nature of their contributions) are generally used via non-linear regressions. If you are trying to learn AVM or understand how to make advanced non-linear adjustments, please check out my recent book on AVM "An Illustrated Guide to Automated Valuation Modeling (AVM) in Excel..." on Amazon.

Out of touch with your creative self?
In my experience there are several scenarios and stages in life when people seek to re-engage their creative selves. The common thread is that people come to me with a hunger for self-discovery and are receptive to new ideas.
In my coaching, I help clients strengthen their capacity to listen to and trust their creative instincts.
We all have different ambitions. I help people find out what these are and help them work out the steps required to reach their identified goals. Some may be on a personal creative journey. Others may be seeking ways to use their creative strengths in their business.
It is my goal to help you win your own success and create the life that matters most to you.
My name is Emma Tallack and I am a certified professional creativity coach. I am a mother of two wonderful sons and my creative outlet is jewelry design.
Finding my creative element has instilled in me the importance of having creativity in our lives. As an artist, I am grateful for the opportunity of being allowed to pursue my own creative dream.
As a creativity coach I am devoted to helping you discover your creative self, recognize your talents and live your own dream. It is my mission to help you clear the path, to make room and allow creativity into your life.
Who is a good candidate for coaching?
You're out of touch with your creative self. You have lost sight of this part of you and you want to find it again.
You have a satisfactory job - or perhaps a frustrating one - and you have always wished you had a venue where you could express your creative self.
The kids have left home and you want to get back in touch with your creative self. But where do you start?
You are simply ready to try something completely new, want to explore your creative side but need a gentle shove to get going.
You are an artist but you're stuck. You need some help getting back into your art and to find your voice again.
You're a writer. Work and life have got in the way. How can you carve out time in your schedule to allow for some "you" time? How can you strike that balance?
You wonder what your life would look like if you started your own business. How can you learn to trust your creative instincts and make it happen?
How can I make my idea happen?
We all deserve to know ourselves, we all deserve to express ourselves and we all deserve to be fulfilled and enjoy life.
Discovering our creative strengths and talents and allowing ourselves to include these in our lives has the great potential to make a difference in our overall feeling of satisfaction, happiness and fulfillment.
Using our creativity not only helps us gain confidence in ourselves but it is also a tool we can use to show others who we are and what we can do. We are all creative.
How can I help you get the results you want?
You are the expert and you have the answers.
With your permission, I ask you a series of probing questions and listen as you find those answers.
Creativity coaching challenges you to question what matters to you. I have designed a process that helps to identify your goals and understand why they are so important to you.
We work together to discover any barriers that stand in your way and understand how they hold you back. I support you as you overcome self-doubt, and I provide tools to empower you to dig deep and recognize your core values. My unique approach to creativity coaching involves turning what you’ve discovered about your goals into action. We find realistic ways to put your creative intentions into practice in your day-to-day life. I will challenge you and hold you accountable, at the same time that I will help honor your commitment and recognize achievements.
Working with me as your coach will help you get to where you really want to be, pursue a fulfilling life, and enjoy long-lasting results.

I won’t lie, I bursted with pride to show Lilya that place.
Welcome to America Lilya. I sincerely hope we can live up to your expectations.
The auther is so right on the money! I hope and pray that Americans see through the smoke and immediately become actively involved managing our country.
Today may be the most important day in all of our lives. We have the opportunity to purge every member of the House and one-third of Senators from acting unconstitutionally and violating our trust and their Oaths-of-Office, sworn to God, that they will always do their very best to always preserve, protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Get out and vote for new people that have never served. The people in office now do not work for you, they work for personal gains obtained by advancing agenda of special interest. You are only needed once every two years to reelect them so they can continue taking from average citizens and giving to the rich and powerful special intersts who are really in control of our country.

I do not give many full 5 stars but I wished to present a shout out to Jonathan, in particular, of Michelle’s internet cafe. The solely difference is that in this case, it is more than simply for aesthetic functions and it is usually for things like buying carts, affiliation with courier companies similar to FedEx, DHL, utilization of accounting methods and lots of different features which might be crucial for the success of your on-line store. You can use a buying listing that incorporates categorized hyperlinks to shops from a particular region or from all around the world, along with critiques from other clients.
WebWise was first launched in 1998 and since then has helped individuals of all ages to learn about and love the internet. In addition, not like local shops, you can avail low cost coupons and get a factor at a decrease rate when procuring on-line. Therefore buying sites reduce their earnings by providing heavy discounts to extend the quantity.
When you do a comparability of traditional procuring with it, you’ll find that the latter is more advantageous. Online clients will need to have entry to the Internet and a sound technique of payment with a view to full a transaction. First one is shopping for a procuring cart software program; the second is using providers of an ASP and the third is programming it your self. The scenario arouses some legislators’ oppositions, and they are making an attempt to cease state-based mostly taxation of Internet commerce. Online purchasing is extremely convenient and entice customers with profitable affords.
Whereas eBay would be your prime instance of the directory mannequin Internet shopping center, examples of the latter model are Shopmania and Mashmart. Many of those sites are designed to present consumers one-cease purchasing—where shoppers can check costs, purchase insurance, and arrange financing. Most banks and credit card corporations will promote on-line procuring closely until SET is absolutely launched, which may be in late 1998 (Moran 1997).
Yes, luckily we now not have to try this, as a result of the web is a 24/7 365 purchasing centre, where it takes a fraction of the time to search out what we are looking for. One of the disadvantages of online buying is that you may need to wait a couple of days earlier than you get what you acquire. So at any time the enterprise proprietor decides what product and companies to put within the mall, independent from its present Internet store.

Within the last decade the popularity of brief community service trips has drastically increased through the social model of the “Alternative Spring Break.” This year, the University of Rhode Island Service Corps organized six separate projects, each encompassing different components and methods of service.
The Environmental & Native American Rights Trip took 26 students to Flagstaff, Arizona to promote reservation service, increase awareness of environmental injustice issues, and foster full immersion into the culture and lifestyle of the local people.
Junior environmental science and management major James Masse was one student fortunate enough to experience the trip.
Having learned about ASB through his membership in Habitat for Humanity, Masse applied for the trip in the fall and worked towards fundraising and education goals over the last several months. Much of the fundraising done was to reduce travel expenses and cover the events the group would be attending.
In terms of education, ASB encourages a solid foundation in understanding components of the communities being served. In preparation, members from each trip were required to meet regularly for informative discussions.
A lot of the preliminary information was about the Black Mesa Water Coalition, a clan within the Navajo Nation that works towards bringing back the traditional methods of farming to their area.
The core goal of the trip was to work on environmental injustices by supporting tribe members and encouraging effective catalysts of change—primarily water safety and security. While all of Arizona has limited resources when it comes to water, the tribal lands lack laws prohibiting contamination of the water supply.
Alexa Collins, another student who went on this ASB trip, said that after going on this trip, she learned how crucial it is that people advocate for others whenever possible.
The trip was comprised of several smaller service ventures that filled the five days the students spent in Arizona. The first day, students volunteered at a school in Flagstaff where they learned about Native American culture. This experience was followed by collaborative work with the Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity where students assisted in renovating the exterior presentation of the ReStore.
“Mainly we painted and removed cacti from the parking lot,” said Masse. “The ReStores are where Habitat refurbishes household machinery for resale in order to provide funding for more builds.” This particular ReStore is a new addition to the chain and was recently converted from a gas station.
Following trim work at the ReStore, ASB worked with the Arizona Trail Association to build a trail connecting a private campground to the Arizona Trail utilizing a minimal impact trail technique to leave the environment as undisturbed as possible.
Lastly, the students did service work with the Bitter Water Clan. “They set us up in their own living room,” said Masse, who could barely contain his gratefulness for the kind gesture.
Another student who went on the trip, Becky Gumbrewics, attributes this trip to opening her eyes to not only the beauty of Arizona, but also of its people.
The service trip concluded with a sightseeing adventure to the Grand Canyon and reflective discussions revealed many productive courses of action to be considered to help future generations of Navajos.
Having gained perspective from the experience, the Navajo greeting “Yá’át’ééh” or “you are the universe” resonated with Masse.
“They believe that everything is alive, and even spoken words have life, so whatever they put out is always kind because it lives among them,” said Masse.

SXSW Eco’s Place by Design (PxD) competition recently announced an ambitious list of finalist projects. Each design represents the competition’s belief in the impact of quality design and the utilization of space to develop the interactive relationship between people and place.
The finalists fall into five categories—Art + Interaction, Data + Tech, Resilience, Social Impact, and Urban Strategy. Each is composed of a centralized theme that integrates a responsive environment.
One of the projects, presented by Mouna Andraos and Melissa Mongiat, showcases musical swings activated by playground enthusiasts all of ages. When all swings are used, it creates a harmonious tune that promotes community engagement and invites singing swingers everywhere.
“Design profoundly shapes how we interact with and care for the places we inhabit,” the Place by Design competition page states. “Good design fosters vibrant, well-maintained communities, while poor design can lead to fractured urban landscapes that lack a sense of place.” The Place by Design finalists will present their projects at the SXSW Eco on October 5th through the 7th at the Austin Convention Center.
View a full list of finalists on the Place by Design website.

The purpose of this study was to compare spirituality and subjective sense of time passage between Vietnam combat veterans diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and those without PTSD. Rogers' Principle of Helicy provided a theoretical perspective for the study. The abrupt interactive repatterning that may occur under the extreme conditions of combat can be translated into compromised abilities of the combat veteran to assume an acceptable lifestyle once he is out of the combat situation. A population of 32 Vietnam combat veterans answered questionnaires regarding their perspectives on spirituality and subjective sense of time. It was hypothesized that these variables may differ significantly among Vietnam combat veterans with and without PTSD. Findings revealed a statistically significant difference in sense of time in Vietnam combat veterans with PTSD compared to those without PTSD. There was, however, no significant difference in spiritual perspective when these same groups were compared.

Great customer service. US Post Office lost the order. Boaters Plus followed right away, with a replacement shipped by FedEx.
This was my first purchase from Boaters Plus. Had an awesome experience all the way around; price was great and received item quickly. Order process was super easy.
Ordered 30 HP Stainless Steel prop. Received in 4 days and all was good. Would recommend.
Needed a new pair of polarizers. Originally purchased my pair in Massachusetts. I am in Afghanistan for 6 months and the folks at Boaters Plus packed them up and sent them to my APO address. Super fast shipment, extremely pleasant and helpful. Will definitely buy from again!!!
I ordered online, the product came promptly and works great! Thank you!
No problem on the return for refund. They sent a label at no cost to me.

The wikipedia article on CYP2D6 is a good resource to learn about this gene, and includes a large table of the drugs known to be metabolized by the CYP2D6 protein. In fact, almost 25% of all drugs are metabolized by CYP2D6, including dextromethorphan (a key ingredient in products such as Nyquil), beta-blockers, antiarrhythmics, and antidepressants.
The authoritative source for defining alleles is the CYP Allele Nomenclature Committee's CYP2D6 Allele Nomenclature page.
In articles on CYP2D6 it is common to see the positions described within a reference sequence of the gene rather than SNP IDs or reference genome positions. The reference sequence used is M33388. The sequence starts at genome build 36.3 position 40856738 or genome build 37.1 position 42526794. It is on the reverse strand, which means that M33388 positions must be subtracted from the start position. In addition, M33388 positions from 601 to 1330 need to be decremented by 1, and positions from 1440 and up incremented by 1 before conversion. It also appears that negative positions need to be adjusted, but it isn't clear what standard is used to do so. Alleles are stated in minus orientation.
[PMID 19817501] appears to be a good survey of known effects of alleles.
[PMID 17115111] CYP2D6 metabolism, as measured by genetic variation and enzyme inhibition, is an independent predictor of Breast cancer outcome in post-menopausal women receiving tamoxifen for early breast cancer. Determination of CYP2D6 genotype may be of value in selecting adjuvant hormonal therapy and it appears CYP2D6 inhibitors should be avoided in tamoxifen-treated women.
[PMID 1782973] Codeine is ineffective at typical doses in up to 10% of Caucasians carrying two nonfunctional CYP2D6 alleles.
[PMID 16638864] SNPs in LIG4, ERCC2, and CYP2D6 genes were identified as putative markers predicting individuals at risk for complications arising from radiation therapy in Prostate cancer.
[PMID 9012401] Presents a tabulation of allele frequences and phenotypic consequences in a European population.
[PMID 18070221] CYP2D6*4 homozygotes should have lower doses of tricyclic antidepressants.
[PMID 19541866] a paper on CYP2D6 CNV profiling in a chinese population.
In late 2004, the FDA approved the AmpliChip CYP450, a dedicated microarray test from Roche which allows the automated determination of a patient's CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genotype.

Who knew there was a Michelin-starred chef from Mumbai cooking papadam on Lexington? We have amazing pictures and dining tips of where to go for your Indian food fix.
It’s a little hard to discern precisely how this neighbourhood within a neighbourhood came to be, but our guess is that it’s like other ethnic eating enclaves around town: one family opened for business, which attracted friends who moved close by, who drew even more families, sometimes from the same hometowns, but often just geographic neighbours. The Indian spice mecca, Kalustyan’s, for example, was opened in 1944 by an Armenian immigrant but was soon sold to the owner of a nearby spice-and-sweets shop, and then to a Bangladeshi immigrant and his first cousin in 1988.
This is a Curry Hill classic. Pongal, which refers to an annual harvest festival in Southern India, features a menu of kosher and vegetarian Indian cuisine. Pongal is known for a sweet rice dish prepared in honour of each the cattle of each family and their role in ensuring the year’s bounty. The noble beasts are embellished with flowers, bells, and doused in coloured powders for the event. Look for Pongal events in New York in January, but in the meantime, get a taste of it here.
Sahib is the latest venture of Herman Mathur, the twice Michelin-starred chef, restaurateur, and tandoori master. Mathur got his start at the famous Taj Hotel in Mumbai before moving to America. At Sahib, Mathur serves a menu reflecting the rich cultural history of Northern India. I like the way he serves dishes in small copper pots, the traditional cooking vessels of the region.
In India, a “Dhaba” is a kind of roadside truck stop that provides fast, freshly prepared food and a sleeping cot for a quick nap. The Dhaba on Lexington Avenue has no beds, but they do have fresh and straightforward lunch cuisine. The price is right, too.
I discovered Inday on the border of Murray Hill and Nomad. It’s not strictly Indian, but more of an Indian-inspired casual eating hub. The restaurant is the brainchild of food entrepreneur Basu Rantnam and partners, who’ve updated Indian fare with a built-a-bowl approach, kind of like a sub-Continental Chipotle. You start with one of three different base offerings: long grain organic basmati rice, fermented organic quinoa or the “no-rice” option, shredded cauliflower. Then pile on “Bombay basher,“ turkey meatballs prepared in the style of tikka masala, or “Life Aquatic”, grilled salmon served with pineapple, greens, and lentils.
Planning a trip to New York? Here is the current weather and what to expect for the next few days.

Welcome to the exciting world of online casino gaming! We are Daniel, Mark, Paul and George, also known as CasinoBuddies. We all have a long experience in casino gaming, and our mission is to help you find the best online casinos that match your needs perfectly.
On CasinoBuddies.com, you will find a comprehensive list of the most popular online casinos from all over the world. We analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each casino, and review them honestly and transparently.
Below you will find the best online casinos we have listed on CasinoBuddies.com.
Looking for new online casinos? Below you will find all the best new online casinos.
Check out the best casino bonuses from the list below.
In recent years, online games have skyrocketed in popularity as a form of leisure and entertainment. This guide is designed to help you, dear reader, to get a smooth and easy start with this fun hobby. We’ll also answer any burning questions that new players tend to ask or ponder.
First you should know that casino games are hardly any sort of rocket science. Anyone can enjoy these games of luck, and that’s the whole idea. However, we want to guide you on your journey so that you get the most out of your experience and get on as safely as possible.
Let’s start off by asking and answering all the most frequently asked questions. Bear with us just for a moment and soon we’ll help you get started with the games yourself.
Of course the first question is why to play at an online casino to begin with. The first reason is that at its best, playing is incredibly fun! It’s a form of entertainment dating back thousands of years, and now game developers have managed to push it to its maximum potential. Modern games are more like an audiovisual adventure with many special or bonus features and spectacular graphics – we’re talking entertainment with a capital E!
If you take games that are fun already and add the chance of making a little financial gain by getting lucky, you get online casino games that are a special and great kind of fun. There’s simply no denying their popularity and success!
Can you really win money from online casino games?
Yes, you can really win money from casino games – and that’s actually one the main reasons behind their popularity for millennia. As a branded form of entertainment, it’s sometimes also called gambling as the danger of losing is always present. This is why it is always important to play responsibly and make sure the money used for playing stays within reason. Therefore, you should always play with money from your entertainment budget and never play with money you can’t afford to lose. Always remember to pay for the fun of playing first and the chance of winning only second. Don’t expect to get rich by casino games and never use the games to solve any potential financial troubles.
Do online casinos cheat their customers?
The short answer to this question is no, because the industry is monitored so closely that it’s simply impossible for game sites to cheat their players. The games operate by random number generators, and the operation of every casino holding the European license is constantly under the microscope. Therefore, the possible losses of players are not due to any dishonesty by the casinos, but rather because winning is less likely than losing by design.
Slot games at online casinos could be compared to say a coin toss game of heads or tails, where flipping heads wins €1.00 and tails loses €1.10. With these rules, would you still chase a win knowing your chances of winning are worse than your chances of losing? A casino player or a gambler would, because these kinds of games are both fun and exciting – plus there’s also the added bonus of possibly making some bank with luck on your side.
Sometimes you hear people claiming online casino games are just a scam. The reason for this kind of thinking lies in a large proportion of players failing to fully understand probabilities or the proper approach to playing for money. First of all, it should be clear that not everyone can be a winner. And in casino games, the host is always the favorite. If the player was the favorite, every casino would go belly-up in no time at all.
Chances of winning online are quite fair towards the players. The payout percentage is up to around 96–97 percent in most casino games – and it can be even higher in table games such as roulette or blackjack. In practice, the payout percentages mean that the host, usually referred to as the house, makes a profit of only 3–4 % from slot games in the long run. That’s not very much at all, considering how much the founders of casinos have to invest just to keep things running. Running a casino is by no means a sure-fire business without any risk, and it’s actually somewhat surprising how evenly the risk is divided between the players and newcomers to the casino industry.
What are deposit bonuses at online casinos?
Surely you’ve bought something at a discount at some point, as have we. Online casino bonuses are based on the same principle. The competition between online casinos is fierce, and sometimes casinos attempt to really stand out with equally outstanding welcoming perks in order to steer the masses of players into their direction.
Popular casino perks include the so-called deposit bonuses, which let you play with more money than you deposit. For example, the popular 100 % bonus matches each euro deposited by the player with a bonus euro from the casino. So if you deposit e.g. 20 euros, the campaign would boost your game bankroll to 40 euros. However, the deposit bonuses are not simply free money but come with a bunch of rules and conditions. For example, the maximum bet available or the valid duration of the bonus may be limited. It is especially important to pay attention the wagering requirement mentioned in the conditions.
The wagering condition requires that you play with the bonus for a certain period before it converts to real money. For example, a bonus of 20 euros may be conditioned to a 35-fold wagering requirement, which means that the bonus money must be used for 700 euros in bets (35 x 20 euros) before it can be withdrawn as profit. In practice, every bet of e.g. one euro reduces the wagering amount by one euro regardless of whether the player loses the euro or wins 60 euros, for example. This kind of back and forth is the way to gradually overcome the wagering requirement.
One tends to fall at the first hurdle or so they say, but this is hardly the case here. Below is a short list to help you get started. The list is followed by a comprehensive explanation of the process.
Enjoy! If you’re playing with a bonus, you must complete the wagering requirement before you can withdraw your winnings. If you’re playing without a bonus, you can withdraw your money whenever you please!
First you should click one the provided links to online casinos, which will redirect you to the casino’s website. Just type in your information and register like you would on any social media or online marketplace. Now you’re just a step away from enjoying the games.
The next step is to deposit money into your account, although it is usually also possible to try the games for free and explore them at your own leisure. When you’re all good and ready, the casino will help you make a deposit – that’s the whole idea behind the casino business – and you can make a transfer via e.g. debit and credit cards or online bank services. There’s a suitable way to transfer money for literally anyone!
Casino deposits are always instant, so in a few clicks the money is already on your account just waiting for fun and games. The minimum deposit is generally 10 or 20 euros, and CasinoBuddies.com always recommends that you start small. With that said and done, you’re now free to pick a casino game of your choice and go try your luck!

The Electronic Entertainment Expo or E3 is on at the moment in Los Angeles and it’s there that Gameloft has announced two new games for Android, Asphalt 7: Heat and The Amazing Spider-Man. Both look fairly decent, the Asphalt series is pretty highly regarded and Gameloft has a pretty good track record on their movie tie-in games,so both should be pretty decent.
The Amazing Spider-Man will be a full 3D action game that incorporates familiar characters and environments, and provides players with plenty of missions, rich gameplay and comprehensive battle systems. Players will explore the city, protect the citizens, develop their skills and discover amazing powers.
The other game announced is the sequel to one of the most popular car racing games on Android, Asphalt 7: Heat, I love a bit of Asphalt 6 so I can`t wait to see what they’ve done with 7.
In this fasted edition of Asphalt, number of tracks has been increased, tonnes of new cars are available, and some exciting new multiplayer and social modes will turn up the heat of the asphalt!
Previous Rumour: Optus has the 32GB Samsung Galaxy S III in stock!

U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke canoes down the Seboeis River with Lucas St. Clair.
If appearance means everything, the date was a success. The weather was perfect and Zinke described the property as a "beautiful and special place." But Zinke has more to consider before he decides whether its designation should remain intact.
Zinke's first stop was to the site of a $5 million outdoor education center that's currently under construction. Built and financed by the Baker Conservation Fund, project spokesman Matt Polstein says the mission is to teach kids about outdoor sports and to get them to become future stewards of the land. "We're thrilled to be doing it. We're a little anxious about your review."
U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke at Orrin Falls.
Polstein says a change in the monument's status could affect branding. But Zinke said as long as developers share the goals of public access, healthy forests, collaboration and traditional uses, they're all on the same page.
Zinke also stopped to talk to a logger who was harvesting on private land adjacent to the monument. Dan Qualey told the interior secretary that the nearest mills are between 50 and 150 miles away. They used to be much closer.
"About ten years ago we lost all our local mills," Qualey said. "In fact, there's a few talking about starting back up. It's probably some talk, I guess."
Talk or not, Zinke says he's concerned about whether enough wood is getting to the mills. Timber harvesting is restricted on the monument, which has been a concern for Republican Gov. Paul LePage and some in Maine's forest products industry.

But, for bird watchers, the quiet, mostly hardwood forest, is a paradise. Zinke caught up with a couple of them at the Sand Brook Campground. Anita Mueller, with the group Friends of Katahdin Woods and Waters, said she'd counted 35 species before lunch. And around here sightings aren't limited to birds.
"What's the most exciting thing you've seen?" Zinke asked. "I got a pine marten last week. I was thrilled," Mueller said. "I will look up what a pine marten is," Zinke responded. "Cool little critter," she responded. "Thank you," Zinke said. "Thank you and thanks for coming," she responded.
Lance Benner of California was making his first trip to the monument this week. He says he thinks it's off to a good start for being less than a year old but could use a few more amenities.
"So far I've seen only two toilets. This one and then there was one at the big lookout where you get a nice view over Mount Katahdin," Benner said. "I was unable to find any maps when you come in here. The one that I got was one that I downloaded online and printed. But I think this is off to a good start. This is very welcome development for Maine."

At the monument's scenic overlook with views of Mount Katahadin, Zinke stopped for lunch and told reporters "all options are on the table." He won't make a decision until he's talked to all parties. But, for now, he says he's comfortable with the property being in the public's hands. He just wants to ensure a visit is a good experience.
"I just expect if it says, 'Department of Interior' on it, I expect the experience to be five-star. Come in, the rangers and the superintendent are in the right uniform, bathrooms are clean, roads are well done, trails marked and that's the obligation of being a good steward."
Zinke addresses the media after a tour of the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument.
Zinke says infrastructure appears to be a bit behind schedule. As for his review, he says that will focus on whether the law was followed and whether the local community and the state had a say in the process.
One option he seemed to dismiss is something Gov. LePage has suggested: transferring control of the monument to the state of Maine. "Management's OK. We can look at management schemes, but I'm not a fan of sale or transfer of public lands."
Without naming her specifically, Zinke thanked philanthropist Roxanne Quimby and her family for donating the approximately 88,000-acre property to the federal government. "Everyone should be grateful the public has access to this property," he said.
Later in the day, as if to prove that point, he hopped in a canoe with Quimby's son, and took a two-hour paddle down the Seboeis River into the East Branch of the Penobscot.
On Thursday, a day after touring the monument, Zinke sat down for a breakfast meeting with several dozen business and community leaders who say they support the project.
Zinke says he expects to complete his review and make a recommendation to the president within 80 days. And he told the group that they will likely be pleased with what it is.
Later, he told reporters that could include recommending congressional approval for a national park.
Supporters have long hoped for creation of a national park which they say would give the region an even higher profile than the monument proclamation does and allow for inclusion of certain traditional uses like timber harvesting.

Get to know Bongiovi Law Firm! Gina Bongiovi, Managing Partner, launched her business in July of 2008. Coming up on their 10 year anniversary, Bongiovi Law Firm continues to put small business first through hands-on, flexible, and realistic client-based service.
Email; I find it’s often challenging to get two schedules to align for a call and playing phone tag should be one of Dante’s circles of hell.
In-client-office meetings. I learn so much about a client by being on their turf and meeting their people than I would in my office or at a coffee shop.
We don’t do much that looks like a traditional law firm or that follows what lawyers “should” do. It works for us.
Getting up after a good night’s sleep and go for a run or do an hour of yoga. Head to a client’s office where we chat about new developments in the business and make sure we’re watching for any liability issues while keeping the strategy and mission in mind. Meet with a prospective client and brainstorm ways to maximize their success while minimizing risk. Knock out some conference calls and volunteer meetings in between. Head to happy hour with some friends. Come home and make a great dinner, open a nice bottle of wine, and snuggle with the pups.
How much time do you have? Probably the most important piece of advice is to do your homework before you pull the trigger on anything. Create a business plan, run your ideas by a CPA, a banker, a lawyer, and an insurance broker. I just met with a new client who trusted some shyster whose disregard for the law could land the business owner in jail. The client had no idea. An ounce of prevention is really worth a pound of cure. It might be expensive to consult with these advisers up front, but will be well worth the money when you start off on the right foot.
While studying for my JD/MBA at UNLV, I started my own marketing company and, when the inevitable time came that I needed legal advice, I couldn’t find any law firm whose business model would allow their attorneys to work with small businesses at affordable rates. When I started asking other business owners for attorney referrals, it became clear there was a huge gap in the marketplace for these services, so, at the bottom of the recession, in one of the hardest hit communities, I started a law firm serving one of the most depressed demographics. Nowhere to go from there but up, right?
We serve as outside general counsel to small and medium-sized businesses. Basically, that means we counsel business owners through all life cycles of their companies, with an aim to help them grow but keep them out of court.
We tend to be different from most law firms in that we charge flat fees for almost everything we do. Lawyers are trained to be 100% risk-averse, but that’s not practical when you’re running a business. Our attorneys have significant business experience, so our advice allows for taking calculated risks (emphasis on “calculated”) while staying out of trouble.
Still being in business ten years later, frequently hearing from referred clients that three, four, or five people they asked all sent them our way, and watching the clients we helped get started still grow and thrive to this day.
Educating business owners on the importance of seeking legal advice before a problem arises. Most people meet me and say “whew, I haven’t needed you”, but I’m certain there are issues in their businesses we could identify and address before they become problems.
Deciding what I want the firm to look like when it grows up.
See answer above. I’ve polled many other attorneys who’ve grown empires to assess whether that’s a direction I want to go. There are positives and negatives to any business model, but I can definitely see adding a few more attorneys and staff to better serve our clients, harnessing technology to keep our rates low, and ensuring we are giving back to the community.

This dress is perfect for a country style wedding paired with cowboy boots but also has sweet details for a more sophisticated theme. This sleeveless dress is fully lined with a layer of tulle in the skirting to make it look more full and has a layer of fabric under the tulle for comfort. The entire dress is turquoise and has a zipper down the back. This dress features a stretchy soft sheer overlay that covers the entire dress and also has a beautiful lace detail that goes around the waist that completes the look.
Pattern on the Lace Detail May Vary.
Waist in Small 28" Medium 30" Large 42" Xlarge 34" 2XL 36"
Purchased this for engagement photos and to see if this dress would be a possibility of bridesmaids dresses. When I pulled it out of the bag I could quickly distinguish that the color of the dress is green. My Fiancé is color blind and could also say the dress is green. So if you are looking for a turquoise dress, this isn’t it. Horrible return policy by the way. Will not be doing future business.
I ordered a 2xl even though my measurements matched a 1xl and this dress isn’t even a large. Very very disappointed ordered it for a wedding and now I’m screwed.

Oracle9i offers several database access products for inserting and retrieving Unicode data. Oracle offers database access products for commonly used programming environments such as Java and C/C++. Data is transparently converted between the database and client programs, which ensures that client programs are independent of the database character set and national character set. In addition, client programs are sometimes even independent of the character datatype, such as NCHAR or CHAR, used in the database.
To avoid overloading the database server with data conversion operations, Oracle9i always tries to move them to the client side database access products. In a few cases, data must be converted in the database, which affects performance. This chapter discusses details of the data conversion paths.
Oracle Corporation offers a comprehensive set of database access products that allow programs from different development environments to access Unicode data stored in the database. These products are listed in Table 6-1.
Figure 6-1 shows how the database access products can access the database.
The Oracle Call Interface (OCI) is the lowest level API that the rest of the client-side database access products use. It provides a flexible way for C/C++ programs to access Unicode data stored in SQL CHAR and NCHAR datatypes. Using OCI, you can programmatically specify the character set (UTF-8, UTF-16, and others) for the data to be inserted or retrieved. It accesses the database through Oracle Net.
Oracle Pro*C/C++ enables you to embed SQL and PL/SQL in your programs. It uses OCI's Unicode capabilities to provide UTF-16 and UTF-8 data access for SQL CHAR and NCHAR datatypes.
The Oracle ODBC driver enables C/C++, Visual Basic, and VBScript programs running on Windows platforms to access Unicode data stored in SQL CHAR and NCHAR datatypes of the database. It provides UTF-16 data access by implementing the SQLWCHAR interface specified in the ODBC standard specification.
The Oracle OLE DB driver enables C/C++, Visual Basic, and VBScript programs running on Windows platforms to access Unicode data stored in SQL CHAR and NCHAR datatypes. It provides UTF-16 data access through wide string OLE DB datatypes.
Both drivers support Unicode data access to SQL CHAR and NCHAR datatypes in the database.
Oracle SQLJ acts like a preprocessor that translates embedded SQL in a Java program into a Java source file with JDBC calls. It offers you a higher level programmatic interface to access databases. Like JDBC, SQLJ provides Unicode data access to SQL CHAR and NCHAR datatypes in the database.
The PL/SQL and SQL engines process PL/SQL programs and SQL statements on behalf of client-side programs such as OCI and server-side PL/SQL stored procedures. They allow PL/SQL programs to declare NCHAR and NVARCHAR2 variables and access SQL NCHAR datatypes in the database.
SQL is the fundamental language with which all programs and users access data in an Oracle database either directly or indirectly. PL/SQL is a procedural language that combines the data manipulating power of SQL with the data processing power of procedural languages. Both SQL and PL/SQL can be embedded in other programming languages. This section describes Unicode-related features in SQL and PL/SQL that you can deploy for multilingual applications.
For example, if the national character set is UTF8, the maximum byte length is 30 characters times 3 bytes per character, or 90 bytes.
The national character set, which is used for all NCHAR datatypes, is defined when the database is created. In Oracle9i, the national character set can be either UTF8 or AL16UTF16. The default is AL16UTF16.
The maximum column size allowed is 2000 characters when the national character set is UTF8 and 1000 when it is AL16UTF16. The actual data is subject to the maximum byte limit of 2000. The two size constraints must be satisfied at the same time. In PL/SQL, the maximum length of NCHAR data is 32767 bytes. You can define an NCHAR variable of up to 32767 characters, but the actual data cannot exceed 32767 bytes. If you insert a value that is shorter than the column length, Oracle pads the value with blanks to whichever length is smaller: maximum character length or maximum byte length.
UTF8 may affect performance because it is a variable-width character set. Excessive blank padding of NCHAR fields decreases performance. Consider using the NVARCHAR datatype or changing to the AL16UTF16 character set for the NCHAR datatype.
The NVARCHAR2 datatype specifies a variable length character string that uses the national character set. When you create a table with an NVARCHAR2 column, you specify the maximum number of characters for the column. Lengths for NVARCHAR2 are always in units of characters, just as for NCHAR. Oracle subsequently stores each value in the column exactly as you specify it, if the value does not exceed the column's maximum length. Oracle does not pad the string value to the maximum length.
The maximum column size allowed is 4000 characters when the national character set is UTF8 and 2000 when it is AL16UTF16. The maximum length of an NVARCHAR2 column in bytes is 4000. Both the byte limit and the character limit must be met, so the maximum number of characters that is actually allowed in an NVARCHAR2 column is the number of characters that can be written in 4000 bytes.
In PL/SQL, the maximum length for an NVARCHAR2 variable is 32767 bytes. You can define NVARCHAR2 variables up to 32767 characters, but the actual data cannot exceed 32767 bytes.
The following CREATE TABLE statement creates a table with one NVARCHAR2 column of with a maximum length of 2000 characters. If the national character set is UTF8, the following will create a column with maximum character length of 2000 and maximum byte length of 4000.
NCLOB is a character large object containing multibyte characters, with a maximum size of 4 gigabytes. Unlike BLOBs, NCLOBs have full transactional support so that changes made through SQL, the DBMS_LOB package, or OCI participate fully in transactions.Manipulations of NCLOB value can be committed and rolled back. Note, however, that you cannot save an NCLOB locator in a PL/SQL or OCI variable in one transaction and then use it in another transaction or session.
NCLOB values are stored in the database using the fixed-width AL16UTF16 character set, regardless of the national character set. Oracle translates the stored Unicode value to the character set requested on the client or on the server, which can be fixed-width or variable-width. When you insert data into an NCLOB column using a variable-width character set, Oracle converts the data into AL16UTF16 before storing it in the database.
Oracle supports implicit conversions between SQL NCHAR datatypes and other Oracle datatypes, such as CHAR, VARCHAR2, NUMBER, DATE, ROWID, and CLOB. Any implicit conversions for CHAR and VARCHAR2 datatypes are also supported for SQL NCHAR datatypes. You can use SQL NCHAR datatypes the same way as SQL CHAR datatypes.
Type conversions between SQL CHAR datatypes and SQL NCHAR datatypes may involve character set conversion when the database and national character sets are different. Padding with blanks may occur if the target data is either CHAR or NCHAR.
Implicit conversion between CLOB and NCLOB datatypes is not possible. You can, however, use Oracle's explicit conversion functions, TO_CLOB and TO_NCLOB.
Data loss can occur during datatype conversion when character set conversion is necessary. If a character in the first character set is not defined in the target character set, then a replacement character will be used in its place. For example, if you try to insert NCHAR data into a regular CHAR column and the character data in NCHAR (Unicode) form cannot be converted to the database character set, the character will be replaced by a replacement character defined by the database character set. The NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP initialization parameter controls the behavior of data loss during character type conversion. When this parameter is set to TRUE, any SQL statements that result in data loss return an ORA-12713 error and the corresponding operation is aborted. When this parameter is set to FALSE, data loss is not reported and the unconvertible characters are replaced with replacement characters. The default value is TRUE. This parameter works for both implicit and explicit conversion.
In PL/SQL, when data loss occurs during conversion of SQL CHAR and NCHAR datatypes, the LOSSY_CHARSET_CONVERSION exception is raised for both implicit and explicit conversion.
In some cases, conversion between datatypes is possible in only one direction. In other cases, conversion in both directions is possible. Oracle defines a set of rules for conversion between datatypes. Table 6-2 contains the rules for conversion between datatypes.
Values are converted to the datatype of the target database column.
Data from the database is converted to the datatype of the target variable.
Values on the right of the equal sign are converted to the datatype of the target variable on the left of the equal sign.
CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR, and NVARCHAR2 are loaded the same way. An argument with a CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR or NVARCHAR2 datatype is compared to a formal parameter of any of the CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR or NVARCHAR2 datatypes. If the argument and formal parameter datatypes do not match exactly, then implicit conversions are introduced when data is copied into the parameter on function entry and copied out to the argument on function exit.
If one operand is a SQL CHAR or NCHAR datatype and the other operand is a NUMBER or other non-character datatype, then the other datatype is converted to VARCHAR2 or NVARCHAR2. For concatenation between character datatypes, see "SQL NCHAR datatypes and SQL CHAR datatypes".
Comparisons between SQL NCHAR datatypes and SQL CHAR datatypes are more complex because they can be encoded in different character sets.
When CHAR and VARCHAR2 values are compared, the CHAR values are converted to VARCHAR2 values.
When NCHAR and NVARCHAR2 values are compared, the NCHAR values are converted to NVARCHAR2 values.
When there is comparison between SQL NCHAR datatypes and SQL CHAR datatypes, character set conversion occurs if they are encoded in different character sets. The character set for SQL NCHAR datatypes is always Unicode and can be either UTF8 or AL16UTF16 encoding, which have the same character repertoires but are different encodings of the Unicode standard. SQL CHAR datatypes use the database character set, which can be any character set that Oracle supports. Unicode is a superset of any character set supported by Oracle, so SQL CHAR datatypes can always be converted to SQL NCHAR datatypes without data loss.
The TO_NCHAR function converts the data at run time, while the N function converts the data at compilation time.
Using the N function shows that either NCHAR or CHAR data can be passed as parameters for the TO_DATE function. The datatypes can mixed because they are converted at run time.
As demonstrated in Example 6-3, SQL NCHAR data can be passed to explicit conversion functions. SQL CHAR and NCHAR data can be mixed together when using multiple string parameters.
Most SQL functions can take arguments of SQL NCHAR datatypes as well as mixed character datatypes. The return datatype is based on the type of the first argument. If a non-string datatype like NUMBER or DATE is passed to these functions, it will be converted to VARCHAR2. The following examples use the customer table created in "SQL Functions for Unicode Datatypes".
id is converted to NVARCHAR2 and then concatenated with name.
Space character ' ' is converted to the corresponding character in the NCHAR character set and then padded to the right of name until the total display length reaches 100.
Put a prefix N in front of a single quote marked string literal. This explicitly indicates that the following string literal is an NCHAR string literal. For example, N'12-SEP-1975' is an NCHAR string literal.
Mark a string literal with single quotations. Because Oracle supports implicit conversions to SQL NCHAR datatypes, a string literal is converted to a SQL NCHAR datatype wherever necessary.
When a string literal is included in a query and the query is submitted through a client-side tool such as SQL*Plus, all the queries are encoded in the client's character set and then converted to the server's database character set before processing. Therefore, data loss can occur if the string literal cannot be converted to the server database character set.
Use the NCHR(n) SQL function, which returns the character having the binary equivalent to n in the national character set, which is AL32UTF8 or AL16UTF16. The result of concatenating several NCHR(n) functions is NVARCHAR2 data. In this way, you can bypass the client and server character set conversions and create an NVARCHAR2 string directly. For example, NCHR(32) represents a blank character.
Because NCHR(n) is associated with the national character set, portability of the resulting value is limited to applications that run in that national character set. If this is a concern, then use the UNISTR function to remove portability limitations.
Use the UNISTR(string) SQL function. UNISTR(string) takes a string and converts it to Unicode. The result is in the national character set for the database. You can embed escape \bbbb inside the string. The escape represents the value of a UTF-16 code point with hex number 0xbbbb. For example, UNISTR('G\0061ry') represents 'Gary'.
The last two methods can be used to encode any Unicode string literals.
This function opens a file in Unicode for input or output, with the maximum line size specified. With this function, you can read or write a text file in Unicode instead of in the database character set.
This procedure reads text from the open file identified by the file handle and places the text in the output buffer parameter. With this procedure, you can read a text file in Unicode instead of in the database character set.
This procedure writes the text string stored in the buffer parameter to the open file identified by the file handle. With this procedure, you can write a text file in Unicode instead of in the database character set.
This procedure is a formatted PUT_NCHAR procedure. With this procedure, you can write a text file in Unicode instead of in the database character set.
Chapter 8, "OCI Programming in a Global Environment"
When OCI_UTF16ID is specified for both SQL CHAR and SQL NCHAR character sets, all metadata and bound and defined data are encoded in UTF-16. Metadata includes SQL statements, user names, error messages, and column names. Thus, all inherited operations are independent of the NLS_LANG setting, and all metatext data parameters (text*) are assumed to be Unicode text datatypes (utext*) in UTF-16 encoding.
To prepare the SQL statement when the OCIEnv() function is initialized with the OCI_UTF16ID character set ID, call the OCIStmtPrepare() function with a (utext*) string. The following example runs on the Windows platform only. You may need to change wchar_t datatypes for other platforms.
To bind and define data, you do not have to set the OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_ID attribute because the OCIEnv() function has already been initialized with UTF-16 character set IDs. The bind variable names must be also UTF-16 strings.
The OCIExecute() function performs the operation.
You can lose data during conversion if you call an OCI API inappropriately. If the server and client character sets are different, you can lose data when the destination character set is a smaller set than the source character set. You can avoid this potential problem if both character sets are Unicode character sets (for example, UTF8 and AL16UTF16).
When you bind or define SQL NCHAR datatypes, you should set the OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM attribute to SQLCS_NCHAR. Otherwise, you can lose data because the data is converted to the database character set before converting to or from the national character set. This occurs only if the database character set is not Unicode.
When you bind or define SQL CHAR datatypes and set the OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM attribute to SQLCS_NCHAR, data conversions take place from client character set to the national database character set, and from the national character set to the database character set. No data loss is expected, but two conversions happen, even though it requires only one.
When you bind or define SQL NCHAR datatypes and do not set OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM, data conversions take place from client character set to the database character set, and from the database character set to the national database character set. In the worst case, data loss can occur if the database character set is smaller than the client's.
To avoid performance problems, you should always set OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM correctly, based on the datatype of the target columns. If you do not know the target datatype, you should set the OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM attribute to SQLCS_NCHAR when binding and defining.
Table 6-3 contains information about OCI character set conversions.
Get the column data byte size.
Multiply it by the maximum number of bytes per character in the client character set.
You can use UTF8 and AL32UTF8 by setting NLS_LANG for OCI client applications. If you do not need supplementary characters, then it does not matter whether you choose UTF8 or AL32UTF8. However, if your OCI applications might handle supplementary characters, then you need to make a decision. Because UTF8 can require up to three bytes for each character, one supplementary character is represented in two code points, totalling six bytes. In AL32UTF8, one supplementary character is represented in one code point, totalling four bytes.
Do not set NLS_LANG to AL16UTF16, because AL16UTF16 is the national character set for the server. If you need to use UTF-16, then you should specify the client character set to OCI_UTF16ID, using the OCIAttrSet() function when binding or defining data.
If bound buffers are of the utext datatype, you should add a cast (text*) when OCIBind() or OCIDefine() is called. The value of the OCI_ATTR_MAXDATA_SIZE attribute is usually determined by the column size of the server character set because this size is only used to allocate temporary buffer space for conversion on the server when you perform binding operations.
Call OCIBind() or OCIDefine() with the NLS_LANG character set specified as UTF8 or AL32UTF8.
Oracle Corporation recommends that you access SQL NCHAR datatypes using UTF-16 binding or defining when using OCI. Starting from Oracle9i, SQL NCHAR datatypes are Unicode datatypes with an encoding of either UTF8 or AL16UTF16. To access data in SQL NCHAR datatypes, set the OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM attribute to SQLCS_NCHAR between binding or defining and execution so that it performs an appropriate data conversion without data loss. The length of data in SQL NCHAR datatypes is always in the number of Unicode code points.
The amtp parameter is the data length in number of Unicode code points. The offset parameter indicates the offset of data from the beginning of the data column. The csid parameter must be set for UTF-16 data.
The data length is always represented in the number of Unicode code points. Note one Unicodesupplementary character is counted as two code points, because the encoding is UTF-16. After binding or defining LOB column, you can measure the data length stored in the LOB column using OCILobGetLength(). The returning value is the data length in the number of code points if you bind or define as UTF-16.
If you are using an NCLOB, you must set OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM to SQLCS_NCHAR.
Using the VARCHAR Pro*C/C++ datatype or the native C/C++ text datatype, a program can access Unicode data stored in SQL CHAR datatypes of a UTF8 or AL32UTF8 database. Alternatively, a program could use the C/C++ native text type.
Using the UVARCHAR Pro*C/C++ datatype or the native C/C++ utext datatype, a program can access Unicode data stored in NCHAR datatypes of a database.
Using the NVARCHAR Pro*C/C++ datatype, a program can access Unicode data stored in NCHAR datatypes. The difference between UVARCHAR and NVARCHAR in a Pro*C/C++ program is that the data for the UVARCHAR datatype is stored in a utext buffer while the data for the NVARCHAR datatype is stored in a text datatype.
Pro*C/C++ does not use the Unicode OCI API for SQL text. As a result, embedded SQL text must be encoded in the character set specified in the NLS_LANG environment variable.
The Pro*C/C++ VARCHAR datatype is preprocessed to a struct with a length field and text buffer field. The following example uses the C/C++ text native datatype and the VARCHAR Pro*C/C++ datatypes to bind and define table columns.
When you use the VARCHAR datatype or native text datatype in a Pro*C/C++ program, the preprocessor assumes that the program intends to access columns of SQL CHAR datatypes instead of SQL NCHAR datatypes in the database. The preprocessor generates C/C++ code to reflect this fact by doing a bind or define using the SQLCS_IMPLICIT value for the OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM attribute. As a result, if a bind or define variable is bound to a column of SQL NCHAR datatypes in the database, implicit conversion happens in the database server to convert the data from the database character set to the national database character set and vice versa. During the conversion, data loss occurs when the database character set is a smaller set than the national character set.
The Pro*C/C++ NVARCHAR datatype is similar to the Pro*C/C++ VARCHAR datatype. It should be used to access SQL NCHAR datatypes in the database. It tells Pro*C/C++ preprocessor to bind or define a text buffer to the column of SQL NCHAR datatypes. The preprocessor will specify the SQLCS_NCHAR value for the OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM attribute of the bind or define variable. As a result, no implicit conversion occurs in the database.
If the NVARCHAR buffer is bound against columns of SQL CHAR datatypes, the data in the NVARCHAR buffer (encoded in the NLS_LANG character set) is converted to or from the national character set in OCI, and the data is then converted to the database character set in the database server. Data can be lost when the NLS_LANG character set is a larger set than the database character set.
The UVARCHAR datatype is preprocessed to a struct with a length field and utext buffer field. The following example code contains two host variables, ename and address. The ename host variable is declared as a utext buffer containing 20 Unicode characters. The address host variable is declared as a uvarchar buffer containing 50 Unicode characters, the len and arr fields are accessible as fields of a struct.
When you use the UVARCHAR datatype or native utext datatype in Pro*C/C++ programs, the preprocessor assumes that the program intends to access SQL NCHAR datatypes. The preprocessor generates C/C++ code by binding or defining using the SQLCS_NCHAR value for OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM attribute. As a result, if a bind or define variable is bound to a column of a SQL NCHAR datatype, an implicit conversion of the data from the national character set occurs in the database server. However, there is no data lost in this scenario because the national character set is always a larger set than the database character set.
Java programs can insert or retrieve Unicode data to and from columns of SQL CHAR and NCHAR datatypes. Specifically, JDBC enables Java programs to bind or define Java strings to SQL CHAR and NCHAR datatypes. Because Java's string datatype is UTF-16 encoded, data retrieved from or inserted into the database must be converted from UTF-16 to the database character set or the national character set and vice versa. The SQLJ preprocessor enables Java programs to embed SQL statements to simplify database access code. It translates the embedded SQL statements of a Java program to the corresponding JDBC calls. Similar to JDBC, SQLJ enables programs to bind or define Java strings to a SQL CHAR or NCHAR column. JDBC and SQLJ also allow you to specify the PL/SQL and SQL statements in Java strings so that any non-ASCII schema object names can be referenced in Java programs.
Chapter 9, "Java Programming in a Global Environment"
If you do not specify the argument in the setString() method, JDBC assumes that the bind or define variable is for the SQL CHAR column. As a result, it tries to convert them to the database character set. When the data gets to the database, the database implicitly converts the data in the database character set to the national character set. During this conversion, data can be lost when the database character set is a subset of the national character set. Because the national character set is either UTF8 or AL16UTF16, data loss would happen if the database character set is not UTF8 or AL32UTF8.
Because implicit conversion from SQL CHAR to SQL NCHAR datatypes happens in the database, database performance is degraded.
In addition, if you bind or define a Java string for a column of SQL CHAR datatypes but specify the form of use argument, performance of the database will be degraded. However, data should not be lost because the national character set is always a larger set than the database character set.
Java String to and from database character set happens in the JDBC driver.
Java String to and from the database character set happens in the thin driver.
Java String to and from UTF-8 happens in the thin driver.
Java String to and from the national character set happens in the thin driver.
The JDBC server-side internal driver runs in the server. All conversions are done in the database server. SQL statements specified as Java strings are converted to the database character set. Java string bind or define variables are converted to the database character sets if the form of use argument is not specified. Otherwise, they are converted to the national character set.
Oracle's ODBC and OLE DB drivers can handle Unicode data properly without data loss. For example, you can run a Unicode ODBC application containing Japanese data on English Windows if you install Japanese fonts and an input method editor for entering Japanese characters.
In Oracle9i, Oracle provides Windows platform-specific ODBC and OLE DB drivers only. For Unix platforms, contact your vendor.
OCI Unicode binding and defining features are used by the ODBC and OLE DB drivers to handle Unicode data. OCI Unicode data binding and defining features are independent from NLS_LANG. This means Unicode data is handled properly, irrespective of the NLS_LANG setting on the platform.
In general, no redundant data conversion occurs unless you specify a different client datatype from that of the server. If you bind Unicode buffer SQL_C_WCHAR with a Unicode data column like NCHAR, for example, ODBC and OLE DB drivers bypass it between the application and OCI layer.
If you do not specify datatypes before fetching, but call SQLGetData with the client datatypes instead, then the conversions in Table 6-7 occur.
You must specify the datatype for inserting and updating operations.
The datatype of the ODBC client buffer is given when you call SQLGetData but not immediately. Hence, SQLFetch does not have the information.
Because the ODBC driver guarantees data integrity, if you perform implicit bindings, redundant conversion may result in performance degradation. Your choice is the trade-off between performance with explicit binding or usability with implicit binding.
Unlike ODBC, OLE DB only enables you to perform implicit bindings for inserting, updating, and fetching data. The conversion algorithm for determining the intermediate character set is the same as the implicit binding cases of ODBC.
Microsoft's ODBC 3.5 specification defines three Unicode datatype identifiers for the SQL_C_WCHAR, SQL_C_WVARCHAR, and SQL_WLONGVARCHAR clients; and three Unicode datatype identifiers for servers SQL_WCHAR, SQL_WVARCHAR, and SQL_WLONGVARCHAR.
Table 6-9 represents the datatype mappings of the ODBC Unicode datatypes for the server against SQL NCHAR datatypes.
According to ODBC specifications, SQL_WCHAR, SQL_WVARCHAR, and SQL_WLONGVARCHAR are treated as Unicode data, and are therefore measured in the number of characters instead of the number of bytes.
The OLESTR macro works exactly like an "L" modifier to indicate the Unicode string. If you need to allocate Unicode data buffer dynamically using OLESTR, use the IMalloc allocator (for example, CoTaskMemAlloc). However, using OLESTR is not the normal method for variable length data; use wchar_t* instead for generic string types. BSTR is similar. It is a string with a length prefix in the memory location preceding the string. Some functions and methods can accept only BSTR Unicode datatypes. Therefore, BSTR Unicode string must be manipulated with special functions like SysAllocString for allocation and SysFreeString for freeing memory.
Unlike ODBC, OLE DB does not allow you to specify the server datatype explicitly. When you set the client datatype, the OLE DB driver automatically performs data conversion if necessary.
Table 6-10 illustrates OLE DB datatype mapping.
If DBTYPE_BSTR is specified, it is assumed to be DBTYPE_WCHAR because both are Unicode strings.
ADO is a high-level API to access database with the OLE DB and ODBC drivers. Most database application developers use the ADO interface on Windows because it is easily accessible from Visual Basic, the primary scripting language for Active Server Pages (ASP) for the Internet Information Server (IIS). To OLE DB and ODBC drivers, ADO is simply an OLE DB consumer or ODBC application. ADO assumes that OLE DB and ODBC drivers are Unicode-aware components; hence, it always attempts to manipulate Unicode data.

NEW ORLEANS—Mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu both suggested during a nationally televised mayoral debate that race played a part in the response to Hurricane Katrina.
Race, said Landrieu, "is the most difficult issue we're facing in the city."
He and Nagin appeared with five other prominent candidates in a debate Monday hosted by cable network MSNBC and New Orleans NBC affiliate WDSU-TV. The primary election is Saturday.
Landrieu, the son of a White mayor credited with opening City Hall to Black professionals, said issues of race and poverty were ignored for years, but Katrina forced them to the forefront.
Nagin, who, unlike in his first campaign, has seen growing support from Black voters, said he had difficulty during the aftermath of the storm getting officials to respond to stranded residents until he began to talk about people who were being thrown out of hotels and into shelters during the chaotic days after the Aug. 29 storm.
Monday's debate, moderated by Chris Matthews of MSNBC's "Hardball" and WDSU-TV anchor Norman Robinson, included Nagin, Landrieu, nonprofit executive Ron Forman, corporate lawyer Virginia Boulet, businessman Rob Couhig, the Rev. Tom Watson and former City Councilor Peggy Wilson.
Nearly two dozen people will appear on Saturday's ballot, but those invited for the nationally televised debate — extraordinary for a municipal election — are the most watched in the race. If a candidate wins more than half the votes on Saturday, he or she wins the election, but a run-off between the top two finishers on May 20 is likely.
NBC had judged that the debate would draw enough interest to warrant airing it coast-to-coast. Too, displaced New Orleans residents are still spread across the country.
With less than half of the city's 455,000 pre-Katrina residents back in the city, the outcome of the election is unpredictable, but most political observers expect Nagin to advance to a runoff against Landrieu or Forman.
Forman said he did not believe race was a factor in the response after the storm. The failure of the city to offer good public education, housing and jobs before the storm was the problem, he said.
"What we saw was the poverty come out because we haven't had good leadership for 20 years," Forman said.
Nagin,Formanand Landrieu were allies going into the race and have been hesitant to criticize one another openly until recently. But the attacks on each other's records have gotten more pointed in the waning days of the campaign.
During the debate, Forman was given a chance to question Landrieu, and he charged that city and state leadership had been failing before Katrina hit on Aug. 29. "What have you been doing for 20 years?" Forman asked.
Landrieu shot back, saying he's been working on ethics issues and helping to develop the state's tourism business, including securing money for the Audubon Institute, the nonprofit Forman has been credited with growing into a major institution.
Nagin, meanwhile, tried to stake out his place as the incumbent, to remind voters that he was here throughout the storm and aftermath. "I've been here, and I have a plan," he said during the closing of the debate.
Roughly 300,000 people are registered to vote in New Orleans, but the outcome of the election is expected to hinge largely on turnout and race.
More than 16,000 ballots have already been cast by mail or at satellite polling places set up last week in New Orleans and elsewhere in Louisiana. Of the ballots cast, two-thirds were by Black voters, according to the secretary of state's office. About 31 percent were White.
The breakdown so far is roughly the same as the city's population pre-Katrina. The racial breakdown of voters has been closely watched by election officials and civil rights groups who say Black voters could be disenfranchised because many lived in sections of the city that remain uninhabitable because of the extensive damage.
Elliott Stonecipher, a political and demographic analyst, said the early ballots cast do not necessarily reflect the overall turnout because civil rights groups and others concerned about disenfranchised Black voters were the most active in mobilizing early voting.
"It doesn't tell us a thing. It's interesting. It's nice to know," he said. But he believes it's unlikely the final racial breakdown of voters will parallel past years.

"Get to your places!' shouted the Queen in a voice of thunder, and people began running about in all directions, tumbling up against each other; however, they got settled down in a minute or two, and the game began. Alice thought she had never seen such a curious croquet-ground in her life; it was all ridges and furrows; the balls were live hedgehogs, the mallets live flamingoes, and the soldiers had to double themselves up and to stand on their hands and feet, to make the arches.
The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo: she succeeded in getting its body tucked away, comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it would twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing: and when she had got its head down, and was going to begin again, it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog had unrolled itself, and was in the act of crawling away: besides all this, there was generally a ridge or furrow in the way wherever she wanted to send the hedgehog to, and, as the doubled-up soldiers were always getting up and walking off to other parts of the ground, Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed."

Season-ending injuries. Chronic joint pain. Debilitating osteoarthritis. Costly knee replacements.
What do these all have in common? Damaged cartilage.
Cartilage is the softer-than-bone fibrous material that’s found in your nose and around joints. It provides vital cushioning. But when damaged, cartilage doesn’t grow back. That all may change thanks to pioneering research at Northwestern University.
Ramille Shah and her team used a nanofiber gel that closely mimics the body’s natural collagen tissue. When combined with a common surgery, the bioactive material can help recruit stem cells and stimulate cartilage growth. She collaborated with her mentor Samuel Stupp, who developed the nanofibers in a research effort at Northwestern’s Institute for Bionanotechnology in Medicine, which he directs.
Successful in rabbits so far, the cartilage research could make long, painful recoveries and complicated surgeries a relic of the past.
Medill Reports interviewed Shah, a professor of materials science and engineering at Northwestern, to talk about her research and what it could mean for sports medicine and joint pain.
First of all, what is nanotechnology, and what kinds of fields does it impact?
Basically, nanotechnology works on very small scales, usually below 100 nanometers. The nanometer scale is one one-hundredth the size of a cell. (Learn more about the nanometer scale here.) Nanotechnology can affect every field you can think of, from transportation to food to textiles – even sunscreen.
Ramille Shah How did you become interested in nanotech and orthopedics?
How do you treat someone with damaged cartilage now?
Usually the first thing surgeons will try is called a microfracture technique, where they poke holes through the underlying bone. That allows blood from the bone marrow to come in and create a clot. It’s similar to when you get a cut. That blood clot works because it has all these growth factors, or proteins, that help regenerate the tissue.
But that’s not a perfect solution.
Right, because it causes cartilage with Type I collagen to grow, and not all cartilage is the same. The cartilage in your nose and the cartilage in your knee, for example, are very different. Nose cartilage usually has Type I collagen, and the area around your joints is made up of Type II collagen. With microfracture, usually the tissue that forms is Type I, so it doesn’t match what’s naturally there. In some cases, microfracture does relieve pain but, in a lot of other cases, it doesn’t do much.
So how does your gel encourage cartilage growth?
The gel is made up of these nanofibers that spontaneously assemble under specific conditions. So when you inject it into the body, as a fluid, it comes together and forms these long nanofibers that connect into a gel network. And collagen is fibrous, so the gel mimics what cells would normally see in the body. We also tailor an amino acid (compounds of the elements nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen that are the building blocks of proteins) to these fibers that’s bioactive. They bind to growth factors, or proteins, that help turn stem cells into cartilage cells.
Why doesn’t cartilage naturally grow back?
Good question. During development, cartilage is vascularized, meaning it has blood vessels running through it. But as you get older, those blood vessels go away. So if you damage it, it doesn’t grow back because there’s no bleeding. The other reason is that cartilage is very dense. So cells on the outside can’t migrate in, and cartilage cells don’t divide well. That’s why our medicine works. We’re supplying a scaffold, we’re supplying factors and we’re supplying a cell source by the microfracture procedure.
What kinds of injuries or surgeries could this change if it pans out?
With orthopedics, or sports medicine, it could definitely help athletes who have cartilage injuries. For example, if an athlete tears his or her ACL[a knee ligament], very often it comes with some sort of cartilage damage. It could also help elderly people, just because of the chronic wear and tear on their joints. Our new procedure is minimally invasive, it’s simple, and surgeons are already used to doing microfractures. It could decrease healing time, and with athletes, it could potentially decrease rehab time, too.
What are the next steps after successfully implanting the gel in animals?
First we need to reproduce this in a larger animal before going into clinical trials with people. It’s going to be a long process, but this first study at least showed proof that it can work, and hopefully it’ll show it again. It’s very promising.
I am scheduled for a full knee replacement 04/15/14. Have an appointment to discuss postponing the surgery. I cancelled a previous appointment 01/21/14 but reoccuring pain induced me to re-schedule. I am walking just fine right now and am pain free. Not using meds or even lotions. I take a lot of natural supplements for my entire well being and am basically in very good health, Had an intensive blood work up recently and the comment @ the bottom of the report was-excellent. Have a minor hypo-thyroid condition but get a feeling of mental fatigue about 5-6 hours after rising. This is so not like me. Just sent for Athletic Greens, an all natural energy supplement to hopefully address the lack of energy I experience every day. Being 78 years of age is taken into consideration but am still very active as a self-employed residential/commercial electrician. All this is leading up to--how close are you to actual clinical studies? I would be very interested in volunteering. Have recent MIR & xrays of my right knee, showing bone on bone. By all logical reasoning, I should be almost unable to walk and in severe pain/swelling. Perhaps the good Lord is sparing me the inevitable pain, etc. until I have the right knee surgically corrected. If I failed to mention, both knees are bone on bone. Sincerely, a hopeful candidate, William Aubut.
x-rays of my knees apparently show bone on bone with no cartilage. But I don't want knee replacement surgery! Is there any way to generate cartilage growth or replace cartilage in the knees?
My 13 year old son has OCD in his left knee. Would this technique be helpful for OCD? UC Davis is looking at three types of treatment. Graft cadaver bone and cartridge, graft the cartridge from the damaged area grow externally and then reattach.
We too have been trying to contact Dr. Shah regarding the Northwestern Gel. How do I find out if they are using humans for trials and how can we sign up.

Buying a dream house is one of the most important investments for the majority of individuals. Whether you want a modern urban loft or sprawling suburban apartment that has a white picket fence, most people will need to invest in a house that feels like it was designed for the family. It is evident that there are many homes for sale in Waco, Texas. For this reason, there are so many things that you need to consider when it comes to finding your dream home. Because you intend to live in that property for predictable future, you need to get a hose that will keep you and your family satisfied for a long period. Here are some of the factors to look at when purchasing your dream home.
The location where the house is located it’s a very important consideration when it comes to buying your dream home. While the house might be obnoxious, the yard might look like a desert, if it is in a beautiful environment and close to sceneries that people love, you must give it an intense look. A perfect location is a great asset irrespective of what the real estate market does in the future. Note that you can transform an ugly house to look beautiful, but you cannot make a bad location look great.
The secret of finding your ideal home is determining the amount of space you need. Purchasing a house that is small for your family will force you to continuously try to configure the available space to make it suitable. On the other hand, getting a property that is huge will give you room to spread out, but it will wrack up high costs. Look at where you are staying and find out a few things. Additionally, you must consider your future and if you think of adding the number of your family soon, planning for an additional room is ideal.
When you plan to purchase your dream home, age is an important factor to consider. Note that investing in old houses and new ones each comes with its own advantages and disadvantages and for this reason, you need to be aware of the agreement you are getting into before you remit your commitments. Perhaps you fancy the exceptional charm provided by the old house or a home that comes with a built-in dumbwaiter and hidden servant’s staircase. Then you can tailor your search to the most historical diamonds in the rough. However, bear in mind that old hoses need more maintenance than new ones.
Make sure you find out the character of the neighborhood as this is an important aspect to consider before purchasing your dream home. If all you want is a quiet environment and your potential home is surrounded by neighbors who have loud parties every weekend, you need to consider moving to the next neighborhood. Make sure you visit the locality at different times in day and night to get an idea of what happens. You can also try to talk to some residents in the neighborhood.

IT is now well known that parity is not conserved in weak Fermi interactions, and that this generally results in longitudinal polarization of the spins of the emitted particles. Very strong polarizations of the muons emitted in pion decay1, and of the electrons emitted in beta decay2, have already been detected. The experiment reported here was aimed at detecting longitudinal polarization of the positrons emitted in the decay of unpolarized muons.

Penelope is so thoughtful. This morning she woke me up so that we could watch the sunrise. I can't believe I have been blessed with such a sweet girl. Now she wasn't quite sure of the time so every couple of hours( or half hours) she would check with me so I could tell her if it was time yet. Here is some picks of the sky just barely starting to lighten.
OH NO!!! hopefully you can find the time to get in a nap today!!!
This too shall pass. You're so funny dayna.
Did you think that maybe Penelope is just acting out because she is upset that your blog is called the Blackburn5? Maybe she is just unable to express he hurt feelings at being left out. Maybe she is so upset she is losing sleep. Huh, did you think of that?
I'm sorry you were up so early. I think you may need to change the title of your blog to "Blackburn 6"
Good luck with little penelope.

More than 150 new clinical members of staff have joined the Trust that runs Shropshire’s two acute hospitals in the last three months as part of its pledge to recruit more to its ranks.
Targeted recruitment drives and specialist overseas trips have bolstered the clinical workforce at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) which runs the Princess Royal Hospital (PRH) in Telford and the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital (RSH).
It will help improve care for patients and their families – and support the hardworking staff that already work within the Trust.
Since January 2019, SaTH has seen new consultants, nurses – including some who have returned – healthcare assistants and scientists join, as well as training current staff to take on new roles such as Nursing Associates to bridge gaps in the workforce.
The Trust has offered 17 Middle Grade Doctors positions at the Trust following a successful recruitment trip to Dubai and India. A team has just returned from Dublin having made a further nine job offers to registered nurses.
The Trust Board will see the arrival of a new Medical Director – Dr Arne Rose – in June. Dr Rose is the current Associate Medical Director for Integration and Transformation at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust. SaTH has just appointed Barbara Beal as interim Director of Nursing, with two Deputy Directors of Nursing and a Head of Midwifery also being recruited.
“Whilst our efforts to recruit to the Trust never stop, we are really starting to see those efforts come to fruition. We are delighted that we are seeing new people joining our hardworking and committed teams in all areas of our hospitals.
“We know nationally that there is a shortage of staff coming into the NHS, but we are hopeful that the plans to transform both our hospitals will continue to help us on our recruitment journey.

These are so much fun for parties! They're eggless, easy to make and taste just like cookie dough!
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Whisk in the vanilla and lemon juice. Alternate adding the flour and condensed milk, stirring well after each one until fully combined. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Insert the pop stick into the middle of each ball and stick in the freezer for about an hour until well chilled.
Melt the white chocolate and dip each ball to coat, immediately dip into the sprinkles and place back on the cookie sheet to cool. Let them chill in the freezer about 15 minutes and enjoy!
The dough can be made a day ahead of your party, just leave it in the freezer (pre-rolled into the balls with the pop sticks inserted) and take them out the next day to coat with the white chocolate.
Also, if you are having a hard time melting the white chocolate, just add about a teaspoon of canola oil.
This is one of my favorite verses because it’s so simple, yet it can be so impactful when it comes to our prayers. Giving thanks to God should be a huge portion of our prayer life. Often times we get so wrapped up in our petitions and transgressions that we forget to give thanks to our God Almighty. There may be times where we feel like there’s nothing to be thankful for, but God blesses us in so many ways each day. Sometimes they’re more obvious blessings like an answer to prayer, a new baby, or a promotion at work. And sometimes they’re ones we don’t often notice like our daily meals, safe travels or even a smile that brightened up the day.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Under all circumstance we should be thankful, not just the times when everything in our lives is going our way, but in the times of hardship and trials too. No matter what, we can always give thanks for God’s love for us. Our verse says that His love endures forever, it’s a love that never fails. My challenge for you this week is to start each prayer out by thanking God for your home, your family, His love and for anything else that He puts on your heart. Let’s show Him our love by thanking Him for His.
My sister, Tawni and I were really craving s'mores the other day and decided to create a s'mores cupcake! They turned out really tasty and the graham cracker crust was delicious!
Start by placing cupcake liners in the cupcake sheet. To make the crust, mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl until fully combined. Press one tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner in an even layer.
Next, make the batter by combining the first six dry ingredients in a medium bowl, set aside. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture until completely combined. Do not over mix. Fold in the mini marshmallows. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
While the cupcakes are baking, blend together all of the frosting ingredients. Wait until the cupcakes are completely cooled until you start to frost them. Decorate with a sprinkling of graham cracker crumbs and a mini chocolate bar. Serve and enjoy!
If you don't have any graham cracker crumbs, take a handful of graham crackers, place it in a gallon bag and crush them using a rolling pin.

Here’s a recipe that’s the cornerstone of a fabulous dinner party. I love when we create a new dish that I can’t wait to make again for my friends and family. I’m not sure which part of the dish is my favorite, the buttery, melt in your mouth texture of the filet or the spicy, sweet lusciousness of the mushrooms. I do know that the two parts make for a great main course. We tested it with a side of sautéed green beans and a simple salad dressed lightly with olive oil and lime juice.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees with the oven rack set in the middle position.
Place the steaks into a non-reactive dish. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, chipotles, adobo sauce and lime juice. Divide this marinade in half. Take one of the halves, and rub it all over the steaks. Wrap the filets and place in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. Combine the remaining half of the marinade with the agave syrup and set aside. This will be used to glaze the steaks and flavor the mushrooms.
Heat a very large (12 inch) non-stick skillet over high heat with 2 tablespoons oil. If you’re using a smaller skillet you’ll need to sear the steaks in two batches. While the pan is heating up, generously salt both sides of the steaks. Add steaks to the pan making sure not to crowd. Sear both sides of the steaks about 2 to 3 minutes per side so that a nice crust forms.
Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the steaks to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Spoon the glaze over both sides of the steaks, reserving about 2 tablespoons to add to the crema. Place the steaks into the preheated oven. Start checking the temperature of the steaks after 7 minutes (130 degrees for rare or 140 degrees for medium rare). Continue cooking until you’ve reach your desired temperature. Remember that the temperature of the meat will raise another 5 degrees as it rests. Tent the filets with aluminum foil and allow them to rest while you prepare the mushrooms.
Return the pan to the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shallots and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the mushrooms have turned brown around the edges, about 4 minutes. Stir the remaining glaze into the crema and add it to the mushrooms. Fold the crema into the mushrooms and cook until the crema melts and sauce adheres to the mushrooms.
Before plating, remove the butcher string. Place the filet on a heated plate and spoon the mushrooms over the top.
Thank you Rick Bayless! We’ve had the pleasure to eat at your fine dining restaurant in Chicago, and appreciate your reciepes here!!
This is an absolutely fantastic recipe. Just delicious. Thank you! Coincidentally, a couple of days later, we went out for breakfast and on the menu were scrambled eggs with creamy mushroom chipotle sauce, and Oaxaca???s cheese melted on top. Another great idea.
