Jasmine Lawrence is not your typical 22-year-old. At 13, Lawrence became so frustrated with her chemically damaged hair that she started concocting her own all-natural hair care products. With the help of a $2,000 loan from her parents, the teenager then launched her company, EDEN BodyWorks and made over $1 million selling her products online. Now, EDEN BodyWorks products are one of the most known on the market, being sold at national retailers like Wal-Mart, Sally Beauty Supply, Walgreens and Krogers. And while she's running her own successful company, the recent Georgia Tech alumna and aspiring roboticist is also a project manager at Microsoft on the Xbox One team. EBONY.com caught up with Lawrence to learn her keys to success and discover what's next for this fast-rising star.
EBONY: We really can’t believe you began creating EDEN BodyWorks at the age of 13. Tell us how the brand came about.
Jasmine Lawrence: It really came about for my own need of natural products. I couldn’t find anything that was all-natural and that was high quality. I had done a relaxer and it did a lot of damage to my hair. After searching around, I didn’t find anything that was quite right for me, so I decided to make something.
EBONY: Where did the name come from?
JL: The Garden of Eden was this pure place in the Bible; it nourished your body, and nourished your soul. That’s what I keep in mind when making the products, those core elements.
EBONY: Was this just a “let me get in the kitchen and figure this thing out” process that led you to your brand?
JL: I knew there were natural things that I could use for my body, skin, and hair. I just started doing my research. I saved up my allowance and I had my mom take me to a natural store. I bought pure honey and other ingredients and [experimented with] the effect they each had on my hair.
EBONY: What kind of damage did you have to your hair?
JL: I had split ends, it was dry, and it didn’t grow. You name it, I had it. I had a range of different problems.
EBONY: What about your business knowledge? Where did you get most of your guidance?
JL: I went to business camp around 13, after I made my products. I learned that when you are starting a small business, you have to find a need. I didn’t know there was such a huge demand for natural hair products when I created my line. I just knew that I wasn’t the only person who had bad product experiences and needed affordable products.
EBONY: Being a 20-something, what is your greatest challenge of being entrepreneur?
JL: My biggest challenge is moving on to the next big thing in my life—the next big milestone—and keep[ing the momentum going. I just graduated [from Georgia Tech], and with our product launch coming up, our 10-year anniversary next year — there are things just boiling up. I really want to relax, [but I sort of can’t]. I’ve been grinding the past nine years. It becomes overwhelming when working on two careers simultaneously; I need a break.
EBONY: So do you plan on relaxing?
JL: I guess…yeah! Actually, trying something I know I am not good at helps me relax. Like a cool new hobby. When I am out of my comfort zone I am most relaxed. There’s no pressure to succeed.
EBONY: Speaking of the pressure to succeed, what do you think the biggest pitfall is that a lot of millennial’s suffer from?
JL: I think the biggest challenge is having an expectation that things are going to be easy because they are going to be done your way. I think exposure of being in the working world and working for someone else to see structure is beneficial. If you are at a job and you say, “I have to do x, y and z to get this promotion,” or you have to take these types of classes in school in order to persevere in [your] career, you know what steps to take to make success happen.
EBONY: Thanks to your new position at Microsoft, you’re a part of two different business worlds. What do you think you learned from Microsoft that you’ve applied to EDEN BodyWorks?
JL: Both companies have taught me a lot, and I definitely apply them back and forth. [At] Microsoft, I have to take into account my relationships with colleagues, and also experience from people that are doing a similar job as me. No one in my company has a similar job as me, but in Microsoft, I am constantly learning, and growing; still trying to take in that industry. I also am learning focus and discipline because the impact that I want to make doesn’t come as quickly as it does at EDEN. At EDEN, I can say, “Hey, lets make all of our labels green,“ and the labels are changed. At Microsoft it is totally different.
EBONY: What are your long term goals for EDEN?
JL: I want the whole world to experience EDEN BodyWorks. If I can inspire someone to start his or her own business, or awaken a dream they had, then that’s equal to getting rid of someone’s hair issues through my products. How I have positioned myself hasn’t been through luck, it has been through a lot of hard work, and effort. If I can teach people, and share with them how I got here, it’s the same as formulating new products.
EBONY: Any personal advice for our BF20 readers?
JL: Find your passion and live your dream. Whatever you love, you have to really give it your whole heart; no matter how exhausted you may be. Even when there’s an easier way out, you have to keep pushing. | 2019-04-24T16:48:44 | https://www.ebony.com/career-finance/black-fresh-20-something-eden-bodyworks-founder-jasmine-lawrence-837/ |

I want to migrate the content of my old board, which is NOT phpBB into my new phpBB board.
I cannot find a migrate feature, can anyone help?
Well, that is the main problem other than me not finding the migrate feature on phpBB. My old board is a best Boards provider. But many of the tools on that system stopped working and downloading data was one of them. I have no way of getting the data. So this may be an impossible task.
I did go to the old board and "viewed the source" and then copied that into MS Word files, but I don't know if that will work with phpBB migration features.
I can take a hunch and say you'll need the database of the old forum in order to migrate to phpBB. Even then, phpBB may not have the proper migration tool you need. It's not built into phpBB its self. It's a tool you need to use as far as I know.
But if I can use this tool, then how do I migrate that data to my phpBB board?
there is no official migration/convertor tools for this.
there are some convertors that have been written by people for the more popular board software. however, I have never heard of your particular software so I really doubt there is a convertor already made for it.
you may have to see if you can find someone that can create one.
either way, you MUST have the database of the old board to have any hope of doing this.
all of the posts, members, etc. etc are in the database. the actual files are not needed usually.
I wish you luck with your project.
Thank you Robert, that is just what i was expecting.
No, that tool is not a database tool of any sort. It's just a type of web spider to grab content off webpages. Much like how scrapers work. If you don't know what a scraper is, it's a bot that scans the Internet and collects posts and what have you then reproduces them on their own website's to help increase their own SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
This is one reason why I use a script called CIDRAM. I also block many ASNs (whole IP groups) of cloud/hosting providers in CloudFlare. So what this means is that a lot of your scrapers use a host, and so being that host will just get blocked. This also means many VPNs can't connect to my site, and if I see one do so I'll promptly block it. My site, my rules.
Anyway.... Your database can be downloaded from your cPanel. Your host should have that and you can ask your host how to download a database from cPanel in the phpmyadmin tool or what ever you'd call it. Once the database is downloaded it will be in a SQL format which is basically a giant text document that can be easily opened in Notepad ++. But don't ever monkey with it unless you know full well what you're doing. I've used Notepad ++ to edit my database before since I'm not clear on how to run proper phpmyadmin commands. All I had to do was replace every instance of my old site's URL. So it wasn't that complex and Notepad ++ worked well for that edit. Thus far no issues.
So yeah, a forum is comprised with two parts: A database and a set of files in the FTP. The database is what holds posts and what not.
John, thank you for the detailed reply. Lots of good information. I have a situation with my old boards that is unique and possibly unheard of. The old board's developer and owner has disappeared literally, he lived in England.
None of the admin features work and it has been this way for two years. There is no possibility of downloading the database and no one to ask about anything. All of the support staff was not able to help because their permissions didn't extend to anything like the level of the developer. Now they are all gone too. I'm afraid I just have to live with the fact that all information on these board has been lost. It was not just talk and simple discussions, it was valuable information regarding mining topics. There is 18 years worth of this information. too bad, but I have tried evrything I can to save the info for members.
"Something unforeseen and unknown has happened at Best Boards, which is the provider for our message board software and programming. I have lost any ability to contact the developer of our software and even his staff has not been able to contact him for a year. This problem will eventually result in all message boards on this provider's server failing, ours included.
I am also aware that any new members are not able to log in because no temporary password has been sent to them. This was an automatic function of our software provider that no longer works. I just want folks to know that I am actively working on getting our boards back up and running properly using a new provider."
Can you post a link to your board and ‘Best Boards’ website please, I can’t find ‘Best Boards’ anywhere?
The first one is to my board and the second is to the Best Boards Index.
Their main support admin and I became friends and even she had to tell me that there was nothing she could do because she could not contact the owner and her tools ceased to function.
This may not work, but you can try getting a hold of the owner of that site through the WHOIS Info. The admin email is, noreply@data-protected.net It is a no reply email so you won't get a reply. Also, the domain will expire on April 21 next year.
I'll give that a try John, although I don't think it will work. Hos admin staff and even I, have his personal email addresses, email goes unanswered.
Edited to add: I tried the email addy you supplied. Got an error message that said: "Domain not found."
Unreal, it does look like data-protected.net doesn't exist. | 2019-04-19T02:30:24 | https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2483346&p=15082571 |

Workshop on MLN Surveillance and Diagnostics using modern Tools; Feb 6, 2018; Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.
Tanzania is an important country which also largely depends on Maize as staple food. MLN has had devastating effects on the production of this crop especially in the Lake region districts from the time it was first reported in this country in 2012. There are challenges in the management of MLN in this area due to the continuous growing patterns of maize (two seasons).
Since the inception of the MLN Diagnostics and Management Project in Oct 2015, Tanzania has not had a comprehensive MLN surveillance to determine the status of the disease. As such, the recent training of the MLN surveillance team is a mile stone towards efforts to fight this disease.
Tanzania plays a pivotal role in preventing the spread of MLN to the Southern Africa neighbors especially Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia. Due to the Geographical position, Tanzania acts as a bridge in the MLN spread to these important Maize growing countries. All efforts already in place in the project is promoting the use of developed MLN free seed production checklists. These are already popularized to all the stakeholders in the Maize seed industry in Tanzania. | 2019-04-19T06:49:37 | https://mln.cimmyt.org/mln-surveillance-team-training-at-dar-es-salaam-tanzania/ |

The global SaaS market reached $6.3 billion in 2006 and is forecast to develop to $19.three billion by way of yr-conclusion 2011, based on Gartner, Inc.
SaaS is hosted application in line with a single set of standard code and data definitions that are consumed in a one-to-many mannequin via all shrunk customers, at any time, on a pay-for-use basis, or as a subscription in accordance with usage metrics. The SaaS mannequin is generic for CRM, amongst different technologies, such as human resources.
Why such success? "The dysfunction of the client/server era is driving option techniques to IT development, birth and management, which SaaS is probably the most apparent version of," talked about Ben Pring, analysis vice president for Gartner.
SaaS adoption is broadening out from CRM and HR into new areas comparable to procurement and compliance administration, Gartner has found. however, the size of change worried in relocating to a SaaS method is proving hard for a lot of carriers to manage.

SaaS is a "manifestation of the expanding maturation of utility building, deployment and management," Gartner officers say. Pring added that this trade could have "many profound consequences on the kinds of IT services which are sourced through organisations and the forms that may also be profitably delivered with the aid of suppliers, essentially the most profound is that, as some IT features come to resemble manufacturing, they're going to have a similar construction curve as most manufacturing agencies had all the way through the remaining quarter of a century -- wide movement distant places to lower-can charge production facilities and average rate deflation."
besides the fact that children the SaaS market remains small, Gartner analysts spoke of the scale of change that SaaS will produce requires providers to keep ahead of the SaaS wave. To do this they advocate, amongst different alternatives, to use products built on subsequent-generation net capabilities, SOAs and extremely computerized server farms to supply "multitenant, mass-customizable products that facilitate agility whereas sustaining distinctiveness at a decreased cost."

INTRODUCTION: Welcome to the State Sponsored Life Insurance (SSLI) site. The SSLI is made available by the Officer and Enlisted Associations of the Iowa National Guard. Active, drilling, or separated members and dependents are eligible for life insurance coverage through this program. During active Guard membership SSLI complements SGLI. After a member separates from the Guard SSLI should be considered as a replacement for SGLI coverage because of the premium cost.
HISTORY: All States have a State Sponsored Life Insurance program similar to Iowa’s.
The concept of a Guard sponsored life insurance program started in 1964 in South Carolina. Years before SGLI became available to Guard members. Iowa’s program started in 1989. States continue to have their own Guard sponsored programs because SGLI does not provide the complete coverage that is needed and therefore, soldiers and airmen need coverage under the SSLI and SGLI. SSLI continues to pay a claim within 24 hours of notification to the Company, long before SGLI will pay a claim.
TYPE OF COVERAGE: SGLI converts to VGLI when you separate from the military and it becomes a five year, renewable term life insurance policy. This means that every five years the rates will increase the rest of your life and will become very expensive. SSLI continues on as either a term or whole life policy. This means that either the coverage will eventually be discontinued or the premiums and the coverage will remain the same the rest of your life, depending on the program you select. | 2019-04-20T22:54:50 | http://www.iowaofficers.org/insurance-program-foundation/ |
Removing waste, salt and extra water to prevent them from building up in the body.
Keeping a safe level of certain chemicals in your blood, such as potassium, sodium and bicarbonate.
Hemodialysis is a treatment that removes extra fluid and wastes from the body by constantly moving the blood through a filter. The filter, known as a dialyzer or artificial kidney, is used with a dialysis machine. In this dialyzer the blood is cleaned before being returned to the body. If you choose hemodialysis, an access site must be created In order to reach your blood. The best access is a fistula, created from your own blood vessels, which allows the best blood flow and the least chance of infection. It takes 6 months to a year for a fistula to heal and become mature enough for use, so timing is important. In some cases, when dialysis must be administered in an emergency due to kidney failure, or if a fistula is unable to be placed, a chest catheter must be used. This is the least preferable, because it has a risk of infection.
Hemodialysis is most often preformed in a dialysis clinic. Each clinic has a healthcare team, including nurses and patient care technicians to help administer your treatment. In-Center Hemodialysis is a treatment for patients where a machine filters wastes, salts and fluid from your blood when your kidneys are no longer healthy enough to do this work adequately. Hemodialysis is the most common way to treat advanced kidney failure. Treatments in the center are scheduled in shifts throughout the day for 3-4 hours, three times a week. The procedure can help you carry on an active life despite failing kidneys. You may be able to do hemodialysis at home which is referred to as Home Hemodialysis (HHD).
Home Hemodialysis (HHD) is an alternative to a clinic-based dialysis treatment because it is performed in a familiar environment- the ESRD patient’s own home. Different types of home dialysis allow patients to adapt their treatment to their everyday routine. Every patient and type of treatment has its own challenges. Talk with your doctor and healthcare team about which treatment plan may be best for you. | 2019-04-22T22:10:50 | https://www.kidneydoctorsofmiami.com/dialysis/ |

This cocktail is like Clara – the first thing you notice is how pretty and sweet it is, but it comes back and bites you with a clever edge that refreshes and–if you’re not careful–will knock you off your feet.
Pour all ingredients into a mixer, shake well, serve up or on the rocks in a margarita or old-fashioned glass, garnish with a slice of peach.
Clara Oswin Oswald, at first known as the “Impossible Girl,” is a companion of the 11th incarnation of The Doctor and is portrayed by Jenna Coleman. An ordinary girl, she has a habit of ending up in extraordinary circumstances. The Doctor first meets her in the future as a prisoner in the Dalek Asylum and then again in the past as a barmaid doubling as a governess in Victorian London, before finally being given a true opportunity to travel with him. Intelligent, quick-witted, flirty, she keeps The Doctor on his toes as they travel space and time together. Clara was the last companion to travel with the 11th Doctor and is currently in the TARDIS with the 12th Doctor for his second year. | 2019-04-19T18:39:15 | https://doctorwhococktails.wordpress.com/2013/09/20/clara-oswin-oswald-claras-peach-lemonade/ |

Cpl. Harry Alfred King was born in Chicago, Illinois, on January 10, 1921. He was the son of Charles R. King & Anna Allison-King. With his two brothers, he grew up at 507 Quincy Street in Maywood. He was a graduate of Garfield School and a member of the Proviso Township High School Class of 1938. He was employed by a stationary company to run errands.
In September of 1940, Harry enlisted in the Illinois National Guard as a member of the 33rd Tank Company from Maywood, Illinois. He like many other men wanted to fulfill his military obligation. On November 20, 1940, Harry, along with the other members of his company, was called to federal service when his company was federalized. During his training at Fort Knox, Kentucky, he was trained as either a motorcycle messenger or in motorcycle reconnaissance.
During his training at Ft. Knox, it is known that he and other members of HQ Company were sent to Fort Wayne outside Detroit, Michigan. In the late summer of 1941, he took part in maneuvers in Louisiana.
Like the other members of his company, Harry had hoped that his tour of duty would end after the maneuvers in Louisiana, but he soon learned that this was not to be. President Roosevelt had signed orders that extended their time in federal service. With this news, the members of the 192nd were given orders sending them overseas. Those 29 years old or older were given the opportunity to resign from federal service.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1941, Harry and the other members of the 192nd arrived in the Philippine Islands. They were scheduled to receive further training since much of the equipment, including the tanks, was new to the soldiers, and they had never been trained in operating it.
This lack of training was glaring during the first engagement against the Japanese. On December 22, 1941, the American tank crews could be heard on the radio yelling at each other because they could not find the shells for their cannons. It is during the fight against the Japanese that it is believed Harry worked to carry messages to the tanks and do reconnaissance to identify Japanese positions on his motorcycle.
The Filipino and American Forces fought gallantly, but due to a lack of food and their poor physical shape they were surrendered to the Japanese. Harry became a Prisoner of War and took part in the death march. He marched the entire length from Mariveles to San Fernando. There he and the other POWs were put into boxcars and sent to Capas. At Capas the POWs disembarked the cars and they walked the last few miles to Camp O'Donnell.
Harry was imprisoned at Camp O'Donnell. When a new POW camp at Cabanatuan opened in May, Harry and the other prisoners who were considered to ill to be moved were left behind.
It was at Camp O'Donnell that Cpl. Harry A. King died on June 2, 1942, of a liver ailment at the age of 21. After his death, Harry was awarded the Purple Heart. After the war, Cpl. Harry A. King was buried in Plot L, Row 8, Grave 89 at the American Military Cemetery outside of Manila. | 2019-04-24T12:17:10 | https://bataanproject.com/King_H.html |

The Blue-eye ( Erythromma lindenii ) flies fast and low and frequently sits horizontally on emergent twigs and vegetation far out on the water. It is one of a group previously referred to as Red-eyed Damselflies. This is another species with its strongholds throughout Western Europe and North Africa and again there has been a noticeable northward expansion over the last few decades, probably due to increasing mean temperatures. It is found in slower flowing larger waters without a strong current and larger still waters which are well oxygenated through wind or there being a substantial inflow.
Males have vivid blue eyes which show well against their black heads. They have broad antehumeral stripes and the characteristic mark on Segment 2 is goblet-shaped. The lanceolated black markings extend along Segments 3-6 on the blue body. In the hand the pterostigma is long and pale, the postocular spots can be missing or reduced to slits and the blue ‘tail-light’ at the very end of the body is short. The upper appendages are long and curved inwards.
Females appear to have three colours with the head, thorax and underside of the abdomen being yellow/brown, Segments 4-6 of the abdomen blue and the last Segment creamy brown with pale appendages. At a distance the top of the abdomen appears all black. | 2019-04-22T23:05:59 | https://dragonflyprime.co.uk/damselflies/040-blue-eye-erythromma-lindenii-european-dragonfly-photo/ |

Praised for his creativity, passion, and imagination in performance and composition, Michael Arnowitt is a classical and jazz pianist of international renown. His piano compositions have been described as a “tour de force of brilliant pianism.” In addition to compositions, Michael has performed both classical and jazz pieces around the world, including each of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas, and his story has been retold through a documentary about his life titled Beyond 88 Keys.
The most embarrassing thing that ever happened at one of my concerts occurred during a performance of George Crumb’s “Dream Images” from his Makrokosmos I. Earlier in the day I had noticed that on stage there were various theater props for a production that had been in rehearsal. While I practiced before the concert, a man occasionally walked around the stage working with the materials of the set, and I didn’t think anything of it. The Crumb piece is extremely delicate and soft, and while I was performing it the audience was so quiet that this same man I had seen earlier in the day started walking casually right onto the middle of the stage, completely unaware that a concert was taking place. Suddenly, the truth dawned on him that there were hundreds of people sitting in the auditorium listening to this piano guy he must have thought was just doing some more practicing. He silently walked backwards off the stage, retracing his steps as if to say “let’s pretend this never happened,” but I still have the memory of the look on his face when he must have thought, sh**, I’m in the middle of a concert!
Even though I’m a pianist, my favorite instrument has always been the violin. I tend to think about music texturally, and the diversity of touch the violin bow can make with the instrument’s strings is like the brushstrokes of a painter. The bow can make sounds that are light, dark, soulful, agitated, dramatic, heavy, humorous, scattered with lots of spaces between the notes, or beautifully connected and smooth. I did study the violin as a second instrument from when I was about 12 to 14, but unfortunately, the calluses you get on the fingers of your left hand from violin playing are bad for playing the piano, so I decided to give it up.
I am hoping to do a tour of southeast Asia one of these years, to countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, and the Philippines. I’m a foodie and my favorite cuisines are Malaysian and Burmese – I really like the food from that part of the world. My favorite dish to eat is probably a Malaysian mango curry, as I love the blend of fruit and curry flavors. I’ve been in a gamelan group in Vermont in the United States and am working on a piece to be called “Sound Essence” for jazz quartet and gamelan ensemble. I would love to travel to Indonesia and listen to gamelan music and perform the piece with local groups there.
In my tune Midnight Forest, I wanted to depict a scene of a forest of tall trees looming above, in the middle of the night. A path curves left and right through different parts of the forest, with giant trees, perhaps redwoods, seeming to lean and arc overhead in the dim moonlight. To musically portray these immense trees, I came up with the idea of a melody where each note was a chord, a brass chorale of widely spaced harmonies. I struggled for a while deciding which instruments should play this chordal melody, ultimately settling on six-note chords of three flugelhorns and three trombones. An unusual sound is created by having the drums play with the brass but withholding the bass and piano to fill in at the ends of phrases. One of my absolute favorite moments in the entire recording is the absorbing flugelhorn solo on this tune by Dave Smith.
We tend to listen to music in a seated, stationary position, but in reality music is all about motion and journey. To me, listening to a piece of music is like travelling through a varied landscape of rolling hills. We go up and down and round corners to see constantly changing vistas of different colors and textures.
There are 14 instrumentalists on the recording – 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, alto sax, tenor sax, violin, oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, piano, bass, drums, voice, and spoken word. I think these musicians did a great job evoking the diverse colors, images, and moods of the different songs on the recording. A long time ago, I received a nice compliment that as a performer I didn’t try to project my sound from the stage to the audience, but rather created a feeling as if the audience was being brought on stage to be with me. I like the idea of making the line between performer and audience disappear. I hope SWEET SPONTANEOUS gives a sense of odyssey, of the listener joining myself and the other musicians for a voyage together through the interesting lands of these songs.
SWEET SPONTANEOUS is now available through Big Round Records for streaming or purchase. Click here to explore this new album. | 2019-04-24T20:20:56 | https://parmarecordings-news.com/the-inside-story-michael-arnowitt-and-sweet-spontaneous/ |

Negligence, Employer's liability, Of one controlling real estate, Matter of conjecture, Injury from slipping on object whose presence is unexplained.
Where a scrubwoman employed in a hotel was injured by falling when descending a properly lighted flight of stairs in the hotel building by reason of stepping on some "sort of slippery refuse . . . like grease," her employer is not liable for her injury, if there is nothing to show how or when the object on which the woman slipped came upon the stairs.
Collection of cases of personal injuries from falls caused by slipping on objects whose presence was unexplained.
when the plaintiff's foot slipped on the second stair. Writ dated January 4, 1917.
In the Superior Court the case was tried before Hall, J. The manner of the plaintiff's accident is described in the opinion. She testified, "That at that time she had no room anywhere else, so that the only place she had as a room was this room which her employer gave her as a part of her wages; that there were eight or nine other scrubwomen who had an arrangement like that; that, when she came into the hotel to go to her room, she came in the kitchen door entrance, which was on a small side street off Lagrange Street; that she then walked along where they washed dishes and began descending the stairs, the dish washing room being situated near the stairway which she had to descend." In regard to her slipping she testified, "That at the time she stepped her right foot down on to the stairs, she felt that there was something under her foot slippery and she did not know anything that happened until she found herself on her back; that she could not see what was on the stair; that the stairs were lighted at the time, the light being overhead toward the lower end of the stairs, there being one electric small bulb light there; that when she got to her room, she noticed that her clothes were soiled; that she could not really tell just what was on the clothes, "it was refuse, sort of slippery refuse, on the clothes, like grease, she should say it was and on the back of the garment she was wearing."
At the close of the plaintiff's evidence the judge, upon the defendant's motion, ordered a verdict for the defendant; and the plaintiff alleged exceptions.
E. H., Senary, for the plaintiff.
E. C. Stone, for the defendant, was noti called upon.

Tablets are ideal platforms for real money interactive gambling, providing a large display and strong graphics to enjoy hundreds upon hundreds of different casino games, including immersive and visually advanced pokies titles. While the desktop/laptop versions of our endorsed online casinos feature slightly more titles than their tablet/mobile counterparts, the majority of the latest released games are made available across all platforms.
Above is a list of the most reputable and esteemed Internet gambling sites players can access directly from their tablets. The gaming interfaces are all neatly designed, with games, banking and cash balance options, profile and account details, promotions and bonuses, support, licensing, and other important features categorised and easily accessible from the home lobby. Sign up and redeem exclusive bonus offers simply by tapping on the buttons or links directly on your tablet device.
For tablet gaming, we highly recommend playing via the ‘instant play‘ Web browser based version, as the downloadable software offered by some of our operators can take up unnecessary space on your device.
Internet and gaming technology has enjoyed a rapid advancement in quality recently, across mobile and tablet devices, so the ‘instant play’ option is just as good as the downloadable premium software. Today, many operators choose to offer only the browser based option, because it is simpler to build, takes up no hard-drive space, and is quick and easy to access.
The modern tablets are relatively new products, with successful designs released well after the spread of online gambling. The tablet you have will, without a doubt, be compatible with each of our endorsed casino sites – the quality of the graphics, visuals and sounds will obviously depend on how late your model is (the newer, the better).
The best way to confirm that your tablet can run the games at our recommended casino sites is to open any of our online casino links from your device and see what happens. In all likelihood, you will be taken to the tablet-compatible site and will be able to play the games in practice mode until your heart is content. Register an account (free of charge) and deposit some cash via any of the secure banking methods, to start playing for real money.
Real money pokies are the most popular form of gambling online, which is why gaming developers make these types of games their priority – constantly perfecting quality, interactivity, visuals, graphics, audio, gaming features and bonuses, and all-round enjoyment.
All games are accessible in free play mode, except for some of the progressive jackpot titles, which only operate within real money mode.
For even quicker and easier access to your favourite titles, tablet users can make their own unique Web apps by navigating to their casino of choice via their Web browser, opening the in-browser settings, tapping on ‘add to home screen’ (or a variation of that option), and creating the title. Once you have completed those steps, the gambling site will pop up on your home screen as a Web app – bypass typing in URL addresses, and enjoy a larger gaming interface. You can repeat this process as many times as you wish, for as many casinos and as many individual games as you want.
You can access a range of globally trusted and secure payment methods to deposit and withdraw money, directly via your tablet. Some of the most commonly utilised banking methods include: MasterCard and Visa credit and debit cards, e-wallets such as Neteller and Skrill, pre-paid cards and vouchers like PaySafeCard and Ukash, and direct wire transfers via banking systems such as POLi and Citadel Direct.
Each casino deals with multiple currencies, and all financial transactions are protected with the latest secure socket layer digital encryption technology. Verification documents may be requested upon your first withdrawal, and can include a copy of your driver’s licence, a copy of your own utility bill with your residential address in display, and a copy of the card used to deposit cash (with middle numbers hidden).
If you have any issues or questions, you can contact the helpful support staff at your online casino, via live chat, email or phone. The team members will guide you through any queries you may have.
Our number one tablet casino site for players from United States is Raging Bull Casino, which offers an array of instant-play slots and other casino games, plus some great welcome bonuses for new players. | 2019-04-23T15:03:02 | https://toponlinecasinosites.com/real-money/pokies/tablet/ |

Our ethos is to create a child centred learning environment which is underpinned by the spiritual well being of each child; focusing on children's interests as well as the environment that surrounds them.
The word ‘Banū’ – although often translated as ‘tribe’ – can also mean children. Whilst the word ‘Sa‘d’ is usually translated as ‘happiness’ or ‘felicity.’ These two words are encapsulated by the name of the of our nursery; for the Prophet Muḥammad – peace be upon him – was raised amongst Banū Sa‘d or Happy Children.
Recognising the need for quality nursery care that is underpinned with an Islamic ethos, a group of individuals set out to open Liverpool’s first Islamic-centric nursery. In 2009 a purpose built building was purchased bringing us a step closer to our goals. In April 2013 we opened up our doors to our fist intake of children. | 2019-04-18T11:23:32 | http://www.happychildrennursery.com/ |

Answer: It is known that in whatever state a person is, everything depends on his emotional state, on his way of thinking. All the information, whether bad or good, can cause a worsening or improvement of one’s state. This means that a person is a spiritual creature in the sense that he feels himself according to the spirit within him.

CHICAGO — Newly released U.S. Census Bureau figures show the percentage of Illinois children with health insurance grew between 2008 and 2009. But about 5 percent of Illinois children were still uninsured last year.
Macon County has the highest rate of uninsured children of the 23 largest counties in Illinois. The census data show nearly 14 percent of Macon County children were uninsured last year.
Barbara Dunn directs a community health center in Decatur in Macon County. She says the loss of manufacturing jobs has left many families without health coverage.
Illinois' rate of uninsured children is better than the U.S. rate of 9 percent uninsured children in 2009.
The figures come from the American Community Survey, which is sent to about 3 million households each year. | 2019-04-26T14:07:58 | https://www.rrstar.com/x1936773294/Census-More-Illinois-kids-have-health-coverage |
Immediately after the put-in at the bridge that marks the end of the Campbells Farm Portage comes a testing small rapid. At normal race levels it can only be approached on the left, where the river channels against the steep left hand bank as it goes over several drops as it turns right. Boat speed is critical and try to paddle positively to stay on the inside or middle of the flow, rather than run the risks associated with getting forced against the banks and vegetation on the outside of this fast flowing rapid.
At a fuller level it is possible to take this rapid down the centre, where there is a steeper but straighter drop that is good fun with little major risks associated.
From Tegwaan to the Guinea Fowl portage takeout there are numerous small rocky rapids that require proactive river reading and positive paddling.
The top runners will carry on running after the Campbell’s check point but if you’re weak on the portages then putting in here is certainly worth considering.
Tegwaan is a nice, splashing, rollercoaster of a rapid which will cool you down after the portage and if you hug the left hand bank then you shouldn’t have any problems. | 2019-04-22T00:15:48 | http://dusi.co.za/tegwaan-rapid/ |
It’s not long now until thousands of students take their GCSEs and A Level exams. Whether you are one of them or just learning for fun, these tips will come in handy.
Lights, camera, action! Record your voice or film yourself whilst you are practising for your written examination. You can then play it back and see what your weak and strong point are.
Post it! If you have trouble remembering certain words, use post it notes and place them around your house in strategic places like on your fridge door, behind the loo door, on your bedside table. Everywhere!
Practise, practise, practise. And then practise a bit more. This is the secret to success.
Make mistakes. Learn from them and improve. Children make mistakes when they are learning their own language. Allow yourself to fail so you can learn how to say it right next time.
Get a tutor. Getting a few lessons with a native tutor prior to your exam will improve your confidence and will help you consolidate and reinforce all you have been learning. Just remember to choose a professional, experienced tutor. | 2019-04-23T09:12:21 | https://www.thelanguagemachine.co.uk/topics/children/ |

EcoStim Energy Solutions Inc. is pushing all of its U.S. horsepower and equipment to the STACK shale play in Oklahoma. The move will create what the company is calling a super fleet that will help its producer client there concentrate on multi-well pad development and perform zipper fracks.
“In reviewing the super fleet concept, we believe the plan will allow the company to deliver more efficiencies, better margins and stronger near-term cash flow,” said Chris Boswell, EcoStim’s CEO.
EcoStim’s pressure pumping units are powered by compressed natural gas. The technology was used for the first time ever in the U.S. last summer in the STACK. The turbine-engine-powered units can be run from natural gas supplied from the field, a nearby sales pipeline, LNG or diesel fuel. At 800 pounds each, the trailer units can produce 4,500 HHP.
During Q1 this year, EcoStim completed nearly 170 stages, but the move to combine all pressure pumping equipment will help the company exceed those levels. EcoStim will remove most of its pumping units from the spot market to create the super fleet and the remaining units will be put on the pump down spot market. “We believe this plan should allow the company to deliver leading edge performance to our primary customer and increased utilization to drive higher profits,” Boswell said. | 2019-04-26T06:14:18 | http://northamericanshalemagazine.com/articles/2385/ecostim-is-pushing-all-us-shale-horsepower-to-scoop-stack |
Sometimes I really hate reading modesty blog posts and the inevitable ensuing fracas. No, most times I really hate reading them – and it frequently doesn’t matter which side of the issue is being argued. No matter how kind or how rude the original post, no matter if it is an urge to cover up more or loosen up more, everyone seems to take sides, get cranky, feel judged or feel judgey . . . all in all, a real win for Christian charity in all directions.
So with that said, here I go with a modesty blog post. This isn’t about specifics though, so don’t panic – this is just a general observation. Of late there seems to be a lot of discussion amongst the womenfolk pointing out that the men are responsible for their own hearts and their own lust problems. The burden (it is argued) is on the men to keep their hearts pure, not on the women to keep them from ever being tempted.
Here is how it generally seems to break out. Advocates of traditional modesty (the ones who would want to stay away from bikinis etc.) have sometimes made their argument this way: Women! Be modest or else you will cause all the men around you to fall into the grip of lust! Stop forcing my husband and my sons to stumble! Get behind me Satan!
Then there are the women with looser standards of modesty (the ones who would tend to be on board with bikinis) who point out that men can have a lust problem even if all of the women are wearing burkas and snowpants . . . and the issue isn’t the women’s skin, it’s the mens’ hearts. Therefore, it is argued, dress however you please, keep your own heart pure, and God will be happy with you.
Here’s my trouble. I would usually tend to agree with the first group on the practical application – but I think they have often done a really lousy job in arguing for it, and it frequently seems to be motivated by fear rather than obedience. Fear of other, more attractive women, fear that their husbands will be stumbled, fear that their sons will be led astray, often just fear of sexuality in general. But the very same passage which commands “modesty” also commands that women “not be afraid with any terror.” What good is it to be all buttoned up and correct on the outside but disobedient on the inside?
And frankly, the second group is dead right that the men are responsible for their own hearts. If they have a lust problem, that’s their problem and they can’t blame others for it. They have a responsibility to be pure before God regardless of what the women are wearing. God has commanded them not to lust, therefore they need to not.
But what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If the men are responsible to obey God regardless of the current fashions which surround them, the same goes for the women. We have to obey God regardless of the current fashions which surround us. God has commanded us to be outwardly as well as inwardly modest . . . and he actually never said that it’s because of the men. Frankly, that may not be the point at all – think of that very odd verse which tells us to wear our hair a certain way “because of the angels.” We may not actually be as in-the-know as we think we are regarding God’s greater purposes. God never gave us a “here’s why” argument on the modesty question – he just gave us a command. We don’t need to be modest “so that the men won’t sin” – we need to be modest so that WE’RE not in sin. We don’t need to be modest to please the Christian men (or women), we need to be modest to please God.
I think that by filling in the “here’s why,” the modesty advocates have really clouded the issue. Sure, there’s a side benefit to a community of modest women, and that’s the fact that the men in that community who are actively pursuing godliness will have an easier time of it than they would if they were to find themselves on an Italian beach. But by making that the main issue, modesty advocates have really made the whole topic very lopsided. Imagine if one of the Israelites in the time of Moses made a really big deal about keeping all the holiness codes “because of the health benefits.” There actually are a number of health benefits, but of course God was making a much bigger point than that. It’s kinda neat to notice some of the healthy side effects of the Old Testament laws . . . but if you were to make that the main point it would really mean that you had actually missed the whole point. On the other hand, if yet another (more enlightened) Israelite was to take issue with the first one, and claim that the health benefits weren’t really all that, and you can be perfectly healthy while living like a Philistine and therefore we shouldn’t bother with the commandments at all . . . this person would also have missed the bigger point.
And I think the same thing is true with the modesty topic. Making life easier for the Christian men is a benefit – but a minor one at best. Because to be honest, if I see a woman who is clearly, unarguably, beyond any shadows of doubts, adulteress-in-Proverbs level immodest . . . the heart I would be the most concerned about in that situation would be hers, not the men who chanced to see her. They may fall into sin, but she definitely has.
So I think that as we pursue modesty, the biggest question should be whether God is pleased with our outfit, not whether we will cause anyone to stumble, or whose fault it will be if they do. The question is whether or not we are being faithful with what God has asked of us.
I think you soothed an ache in my brain, Bekah! I had a muddle of similar thought, but you put it together clearly. Love this, thanks for writing it.
Oh my word Amy – that’s such an interesting point!
This is very well stated. I was at one point in my childhood taught “holiness”. Stop cutting your hair, do not show your knees, or elbows, no jewelry, make-up. It was a “hole-y” mess !!
As I grew in relationship with Christ, it was MY heart that changed. As I added things to my wardrobe, in HIS time, a few things were discarded and a few things remained. I resound the comment that when my husband and I are out and I see a blatantly immodest outfit, I think about the person strutting it and silently pray for her. Only God can change us, inside out. Thanks for the blog !! I may have to share it on mine !
You’re back! You’re back!! Hurrah! Hurrah! Thank you for bringing a balanced view to this issue!
Oh, my goodness. This is so great. Thanks so much for finally setting the argument for modesty in its right context.
Thank you for this post. It seems to get right to the heart of the issue.
this is wonderful! I agree that we should be doing it to please our heavenly Father, not just those around us. And we need to be honest about what pleases Him, not make excuses when it doesn’t go with His desires. I read an article about loosening up the other day,and I have been mulling it over. This really makes a lot more sense, as far as where our hearts should be when deciding what to wear. Not what can we get away with, but how can we obey our Father’s wishes to be a godly example of Him.
This was so insightful- thank you! And great point, Amy, on “aprons” not being enough!
I totally agree with the truth of your point about charity etc. – I just think it’s a weak foundation for the argument. For instance, even if no men were stumbled into sin, I would still need to be modest – because God told me to – and that’s the biggest reason for obedience. An eight year old girl should be modest even if no men are stumbled, an eighty year old woman should be modest even if no men are stumbled, an unattractive woman should be modest even if no men are stumbled, and a curvy and attractive girl should be modest even if all the men around are godly enough to not fall into sin over it. I think to base the argument off of who is stumbled and who isn’t actually just opens the door for general immodesty in a way that is unhelpful.
I’ve been raised that modesty is right but taught with the understanding that holiness begins in the heart and is revealed not only in our dress, but our actions and expressions. God has given us a standard for our protection and when we willingly obey the world notices. What a wonderful, walking testimony!
Thanks for these thoughts. It is just as I’m trying to teach my group. God bless!
I’ve missed the wonderful posts at feminagirls. So glad you’re back with something good for me to ponder… Cheers, Ladies!
Great post on modesty! On a side note…where in the world has lizziejank been?! Is she okay? We miss her dearly on here!
Thanks to you ladies for your God-honoring content! I always look forward to new Femina posts.
How can we tell if God is pleased with our outfits? If our heart is right with God, does it follow that our outfit will be?
Would anyone actually argue that it’s not important to be modest, in obedience to God? I thought everybody (that is in this fight of the Christian warfare, that we may appear blameless at the judgment seat of Christ) agreed on that point. I do think it still comes down to the question of “what is modest”? And it doesn’t matter what other people think, because no one will be there to hold my hand at the judgment seat.
Another point to consider is that our bodies are not public property. Our sexuality is to be for our husbands (present or future). Should we dress to look good to males in the way the world does and attract the kind of attention secular women who are looking for a mate do? | 2019-04-21T14:51:09 | https://www.feminagirls.com/2015/06/16/modesty/ |
RICHMOND, Va. – Safe Harbor has named Cathy Easter as executive director, bringing her fresh perspective and years of nonprofit experience to the agency’s sexual and domestic violence prevention work throughout the Richmond community.
Easter was selected by the Board of Director’s Executive Search Committee to replace Kathleen Demro, who served as the Safe Harbor’s executive director for five years.
Karen L. Cole, vice president of the Board and participant in the selection process, said Easter was chosen for having almost 25 years of experience across all aspects of nonprofit operations, from staff management to fund development.
Easter built her career in the nonprofit sector and has held multiple director positions within large national organizations. Just prior to joining Safe Harbor, she was the manager of business development for Combined Health Charities in Virginia.
Easter was personally impacted by domestic violence 22 years ago, when her 19-year-old family friend Lisa was murdered by her husband as she tried to leave him.
“Losing Lisa was a life-changing moment for all of us who loved her,” Easter said. She shared that Lisa’s story contributed to her desire to join Safe Harbor.
The bulk of Easter’s nonprofit development experience comes from her 15-year career with the ALS Association. She served as the first Executive Director of the Western Pennsylvania chapter beginning in 1998, and during her tenure she created the Walk to Defeat ALS, which became the Association’s first national signature event in 2000. After moving to Virginia in 2004, Easter served six years with the Association’s DC/Maryland/Virginia chapter, first as Virginia Regional Director and then Director of Philanthropy.

An Atlanta librarian who appeared on “Jeopardy!” Wednesday was unable to beat a Colorado music teacher on a five-day winning streak.
Jordan Moore, a Cincinnati native, works at the Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library. She lost to Kyle Jones, but snagged 2nd place from Jonathan Lau, an actuarial consultant from New Jersey.
Moore and her wife live in Stone Mountain, close to where Moore volunteers with the refugee service organization, New American Pathways. She also teaches English as a Second Language with the Latino support group, La Amistad.
Moore said being on the popular quiz competition was a bucket list event, adding that she couldn’t believe it was happening until she was holding the buzzer.
Moore joins the ranks of metro Atlanta contestants, such as a Georgia Tech student who retweeted his haters, the chairman of the DeKalb County GOP and an archivist at the Breman Museum. | 2019-04-19T17:24:31 | https://www.ajc.com/news/local/atlanta-librarian-compete-jeopardy-next-week/UhLTN3gBzYzw15ZAjPDHOL/ |

I recently took out a pound of ground sausage and a pie crust for dinner. I baked the pie crust in preparation for a quiche. Then, I realized I had actually defrosted ground venison. Since that doesn’t quite go well in a quiche, I had to improvise. The result was so good that my husband had two helpings!
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until cheese has melted.

The golden hue of turmeric is unforgettable; for thousands of years, the spice has been used in both the kitchen and the medicine cabinet. But until recently, turmeric hasn’t been given its due. While the mainstream media and puppets of conventional medicine decry virtually any and all forms of natural medicine, the benefits of turmeric can be ignored no longer. The root’s cancer-fighting capacity is particularly astonishing. A plant that cures cancer may sound outlandish to Big Pharma devotees, but skeptics have turned into believers after witnessing the plant’s miraculous power with their own eyes. | 2019-04-20T00:49:05 | https://preventcancer.news/2018-10-11-turmeric-outperforms-conventional-chemotherapy-drugs-in-treating-all-forms-of-cancer.html |

Hannover 96 have announced the signing of 29-year-old goalkeeper Philipp Tschauner from FC St. Pauli. The 6’5″ keeper will join the club from Lower Saxony on a free transfer this summer and sign a two-year contract.
The move can be seen as a replacement for Robert Almer who has already signed a contract with Austria Wien as the Austrian national keeper didn’t get any minutes behind Ron-Robert Zieler. Tschauner himself may hope for more than just a place on the bench. If Hannover get relegated, Ron-Robert Zieler will look for a new club that plays in the top tier to keep his place in the German national team. In that case Tschauner, a very experienced keeper, could take his job.
Tschauner made the senior team in Nürnberg, before moving to 1860 Munich in 2006 and then on to St. Pauli in 2011. On May 1st 2013, he managed to score a late equalizer with a header against SC Paderborn. | 2019-04-22T00:24:16 | http://bundesligafanatic.com/20150514/hannover-96-sign-goalkeeper-philipp-tschauner-from-st-pauli/ |

I am STILL stewing over Lauren and Kyle's wedding day! Their fantastic party was one I will never forget. Getting to dote on that couple is one of the greatest experiences I've had since starting this journey. They are humble, graceful, and MADLY in love with each other. Lauren and Kyle, THANK YOU for letting me be a part of your big day!! I hope you're enjoying your honeymoon and good luck in Chicago!!
Lesner Inn is an AMAZING venue! The support we had from the staff was overwhelming. They are rockstars and I wish I could do a wedding there every weekend! #DREAM Lucky me, I'll be going back in September.
Incredible Edibles did this cake! WOWSER!!!!!!! Two flavors: tiramisu and raspberry. I can't decide which was my favorite.
Simple, elegant, personal centerpieces. Lauren's mom did the the floral arrangements. They were so precious!
One of Lauren's bridesmaids did this chalk lettering!
I may or may not have done this. Depends on how good/bad you say it looks. Hahaha! Just wanted an excuse to practice my calligraphy.
During dinner, I looked out the window and thought, "PICTURE!!!" The sky was every color imaginable. I grabbed the photographer, Kate, and she took Kyle and Lauren out for a quick minute. Can't wait to see those.
See what I mean? Out of control! ;) I haven't seen this much dancing since my high school prom. Not exaggerating. Everyone had the time of their life!
At the end of the day, I got to keep a bridesmaid's bouquet. This is on my nightstand now, smelling all good and stuff. I don't hate it.
This post would not be complete without thanking my ANGEL OF A MOTHER and my friend, Ruth. These two ladies came in and read my mind for six hours. I love when you don't have to stop and speak, but just a glance is enough. THANK YOU, gals. YOU made this night a success!
I can't wait to see the rest of their day, captured by Kate Coogan. Such a wonderful venue, perfect weather, and a couple that has shown how much fun a biblical, Christ-centered relationship can be. | 2019-04-19T10:33:16 | https://sterling-dawn.com/blog/lauren-kyle-wedding |

Sometimes, it's not about chasing a tone from one specific piece of equipment, it's about capturing the tones from the entire signal chain.
Looking back through history, there have been some truly outstanding fuzz tones. In particular, the tones achieved by running a fuzz into a screaming stack. The kind of tones that are just earth shattering in their depth, aggression and smoothness.
Brian Wampler, who's always looking for the best tones to capture, decided the chase was on. Taking the base tones from a very famous pedal and the characteristics of a famous stacked, EL34 driven, amp - decided it was about time those tones were brought together in pedal format.
The key to the tone of the Velvet is the voicing switch. In the “big” position, the pedal reacts like a classic fuzz. Loads of internal compression and truly massive tones it really is that “tone” from that “era”. Dropping the volume back cleans it up perfectly so your rhythm can remain clear enough and then your solo's will flatten all those who dare to stand before you.
In the “tight” position, the tone comes in and you get the feeling you have swapped amps as well, those mammoth tones but without the compression and other traits that many fuzz players love... Yes, that's right. If you love the tone of Fuzz but not the reaction of it, this is the setting on the pedal that is for you. | 2019-04-23T08:09:13 | http://m.interstatemusic.com/899708-Wampler-Pedals-The-Gain-Stage-Velvet-Fuzz-Pedal-VELVET.aspx |
While there are many answers to this query, I’d venture a strong “to do what I really want to do” fits for many.
If that’s the case, are you doing what you set out to want to do?
Ours days are numbered, aka Perishable. Do what you really want to be doing, hire out the rest.
Said another way, are your days filled with the passion part of your reasons? Do you wake up able to jump right into the Thing You Love about being in business?
If this is true, who are the pros you’ve hired on as your support team? What contractors and specialists have you hired to do what they do best to help you do more of what you do best?
Becky’s right when she asks her clients, “wouldn’t you rather be doing what you love?” As opposed to getting mired in other tasks/crap/jobs you don’t want to do? Seth nails it here too, specifically related to marketing.
Take a look at your business. Refresh your memory of why you’re doing what you are doing and make the conscious decision to help yourself be better and better at what you’re already good at. Hire the right pros to complement, enhance, and build you & your efforts. Slogging though a task you don’t like to do is counter productive.
Besides, you started your business so people would hire you, right? Then hire the pros you need to help you be you.
I’m hear for your marketing help when you’re ready. | 2019-04-23T18:30:40 | https://www.gingerjohnson.com/why-did-you-start-your-business/ |

By Señor Blaño’s logic, I have a steady job, therefore (ergo is a cooler word) can never be a poet unless I walk away from my steady job and live the hours of a vampire.
I could let his proclamation depress me, but, I realize, poets have a gift for turning accepted reality on its head as they create alternate realities more real than assumed reality.
With picture words, they terraform so the commoner can acquire the perspective of royalty. The very people Roberto describes have the power, the skill to negate the premise making his belief a load of nonsense. | 2019-04-22T16:09:02 | https://davidaolson.wordpress.com/2019/02/06/a-nonsense-quote/ |

Mukesh Ambani plans to sell Reliance Gas Transportation Infrastructure Ltd (RGTIL), a company that builds pipelines to carry natural gas across the country. Bankers have been sounded to help RIL sell this privately business that could be worth a $1 billion, even though the proposal is at an early stage.
An RIL spokesperson refused comments without denying the move.
RGTIL, which has set up the pipeline network for transportation of RIL gas from its D6 field, moved out of the RIL fold to become a subsidiary of Reliance Utilities Pvt Ltd in 2006.
The transaction took place for Rs 5,00,000, an insignificant sum considering that RGTIL had right of use for setting up major pipeline networks. | 2019-04-20T20:47:05 | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india/ambani-looking-to-sell-rgtil-eyes-1-bn/story-K0nXmbAjFwLsA9R31zxCDL.html |
Let's see, where to begin. Even though this weekend was Father's Day weekend, my husband gave me the first treat of the weekend Friday night. I work weekends, part time OT, and knew that I had a long day on Saturday so my hubby offered to take all three of the kids to my daughter's t-ball practice and let me do my long run (6 miles) that evening while they were out. He told me early on that day so I was ready and hydrated when he got home. I got the long done, no pain in the IT band but legs are feeling DEAD!! I'm not sure what's going on. I've increased my water, decreased my mileage and have been taking it easy for the last two weeks, giving myself enough down time to get mentally and physically to be ready for the 16 week plan I have for the Myrtle Beach Half but nothing seems to be working. I got through it but they were not the greatest miles I've ever run and not the worst! Saturday was working and then playing with the kids, cooking outdoors and camping out (I slept in the house, kids and hubby in tent out back). We played kickball, we played t-ball, we played Frisbee, we played in the pool and went for a walk. Needless to say, the kids were exhausted but for some reason, I couldn't shut down until after 2AM. I hate when I have a ton of things swirling in my brain and can't shut it off! Sunday was spent cooking the kids and hubby a big breakfast then heading out into the mountains to have lunch. We decided on Devil's Backbone out at Wintergreen and it was great!! The food was great, the beer was great and the kids had a great time. We got home in time for a quick three, legs still felt dead, and then snuggled on the couch for a cartoon before bed. Family time has become so important in our house! This summer we have decreased the use of the TV to maybe a half hour for the kids in the evening (if there's time). We are taking walks, playing board games and playing outside until it's time for bed. It was a huge adjustment in the beginning but now they don't even ask to watch TV anymore. My kids are growing so fast and we need to relish our time with them as much as we can before they are gone!! Hope all the dad's out there had a wonderful Father's Day!! I missed not being able to see my dad but will be meeting up with the clan this weekend for my brother's housewarming party!! Crabs and beer, just what I need! :) Any suggestions on the legs? They feel like this no matter what time I run, 430AM or 630PM. I am willing to try just about anything (except rest) to get them back!!! | 2019-04-26T10:53:01 | http://pamommylovestorun.blogspot.com/2013/06/weekend-recap.html |
Getting people cash for annuity, often the most cash for annuity, is what the experts at Catalina Structured Funding, Inc., do every single day. We get calls from people in all 50 states looking for information about what how much cash for annuity we can pay, what is the process and what they can expect if they were to contract with us to sell annuity for cash. We hope to surprise them with our candid answers to all these questions: and the professional way we handle each call and every question regarding getting cash for an annuity.
Sometimes the annuities people are looking to cash out are called structured settlement annuities. These are annuities that were obtained either through a settlement of a lawsuit personally or through inheriting the structured settlement annuity from a family. These types of annuities are also called “structured insurance settlements” or simply “structured settlements”. Often times, these structured settlement annuities are “life contingent structured settlements,” and other times they are “guaranteed structured settlements”. Regardless of the type of structured settlement you have, our annuity buying specialist can provide you with an immediate free quote.
We can also provide you cash for annuities of other varieties. Many people buy non-qualified annuities and then decide at a later point that they wish or need a lump sum for that annuity. We are here to discuss with you the lump sum options that are available based on your particular annuity. Many annuities can be bought, sold and assigned for cash after acquisition. You will inevitably be very surprised how much cash for annuity we can pay.

Is This the Right Time to Sell Annnuity for Lump Sum?
We know that less business is undertaken in summer time than in other times of the year. in this vein, it may also not the time of year that you may want to start the process to SELL ANNUITY for a lump sum. While we totally understand that you may want to focus on other things in the summer than the financial demands you have coming up, and instead you want to spend more time considering things like the next barbecue, this may in fact be the best time of year to get the process of receiving your lump sum underway.
One of the reasons why its a great time to considering starting the process to sell annuity or to sell part of an annuity for cash now, is that depending on where you live (i.e., the State) and the type of annuity you have (is one you received or inherited that was issued in connection with personal injury settlement), it may take longer than you anticipate to complete the transaction and get funded. While Catalina Structured Funding has national expertise that allows us to fund lump sum for annuity transactions fast, the law has certain requirements that must be met and those requirements have certain time restrictions. If you are curious what the time frame in your particular state may be, call one of our experts and we can provide you with a free estimate.
From time to time people will call us looking to sell annuity and get a lump sum immediately. While we do provide our customers with immediate advances on the cash lump sums for annuities, the payment of the full amount will take more time. In other words, if you know you are going to have a need for money coming in the future, either for back to school or some other event in the fall, it is better to get on the phone with us soon so we can walk you through the process and explain what the time between signing the contract and final funding will be. Of course, there is no cost to you for this conversation.
Also, its critical to know that some annuities, i.e., those not from personal injury lawsuits, can be in many cases assigned, sold for a lump sum much quicker. Our team has experience working with people to cash out both types of annuities (structured settlement v. regular).
In any event, the team at Catalina Structured Funding is here to discuss your lump sum for annuity options and to provide you with a better offer than other structured settlement buyer. Call us today at 1-800-317-3769.
Annuities come in all different types. The same is true for structured settlements backed by annuities. Not only do these payment streams come in different types, they also vary dramatically in size. Depending on the annuity purchased or the structured settlement you agreed to accept to resolve a personal injury lawsuit, your options with respect to cashing out these payments for a lump sum will also differ.
1. Guaranteed Structured Settlement or Guaranteed Annuity Payments. These future payments are made to you or your beneficiaries regardless if you are living at the time they become due. Hence, they are not life contingent– they are guaranted structured settlement payments or guaranted annuity payments.
2. Life Contingent Annuity Payments or Life Contingent Structured Settlement Payments- these payments differ from the type in group #1 above. The main difference between life contingent payments and guaranteed payments are that with life contingent annuity payments, or structured settlement payments, the insurance company (e.g.- American Genera/AIG; New York LIfe; Metlife; Prudential; Hartford- to name a few) are only required to make the payments due under the annuity if you are alive. That is why they are called Life Contingent Annuity Payments.
If you are unsure if your structured settlement payments or annuity payments are guaranteed or life contingent, Catalina Structured Funding can review the documents with you for FREE and advise you of the type of payments you are entitled to.
If you are entitled to sell life contingent annuity payments, Catalina Structured Funding can get you a lump sum. Its critical for you to work with a company experienced buying life contingent payments otherwise the process of getting you a lump sum can turn into a time consuming mess. We specialize in working with people selling life contingent annuity payments for a lump sum.
Our experience in purchasing life contingent annuity allows us to provide you with the most cash as well as the most options when it comes to getting a lump sum. These options include (1) selling part of the life contingent payments: (2) selling all of the life contingent structured settlement payments; (3) keeping your life contingent payments for a period of time and selling life contingent payments due further in the future.
Catalina Structured Funding is the best choice if you want cash now for life contingent structured settlement or annuity payments. Give us a call at 1-800-317-3769 to learn more about what we can offer you.

The calculation procedure and the parameters used, as well as any assumptions and simplifications made are described in the Help file accompanying each calculator.
This concept ensures that you have to deal only with those parameters actually needed for the specific task - so no hassle with unneccessary parameter ballast, but, you have to make sure that you pick the exact calculator that solves your problem. The brief descriptions below will assist you in making the correct choice.
For most of the calculators, input and output is completely contained on a single web page - eliminating the worries about any parameter values forgotten in some sub-sub-sub menu.
Note: if you want to capture an image of the complete calculator page (not only the part visible in the browser window), including the graphics generated by the calculator, try the Fireshot extension (available for various browsers).
Where applicable, the calculators offer the possibility to produce the required results for any given amount and type of raw material or intermediate product in the nuclear fuel chain: so, it is possible to calculate the results per tonne of ore mined, per tonne of uranium milled, per tonne fresh fuel, or per unit electricity produced in the power plant, for example.
Most of the calculators produce an output already after a simple click on the "Calculate" button, since the parameters are preset to reasonable values.
Note: the results obtained with the initial parameter values are not meant to represent the ultimate solution; they rather just are an example for this specific parameter set.
The impacts of parameter variations can be studied by modifying one or more parameters of interest, followed by a "Calculate"-click. In the same way, generic data can be replaced by site-specific data, where available.
Note: detailed descriptions of the parameters are found in the Help file associated with each calculator.
As the calculators run completely on the client computer, you may store the calculator files on your local disk for offline use (save page as complete Web page).
Note: you should, however, check from time to time whether your local copy is still up to date, as there may have been any errors eliminated or additional features added without notice.
The calculators were tested on Firefox and Internet Explorer. If you experience any problems, please drop a line.

This calculator is an enlarged version of the Nuclear Fuel Material Balance Calculator, also allowing for calculation of an energy consumption and CO2 emission balance.
This calculator is a modified version of the Nuclear Fuel Energy Balance Calculator. It provides a material, energy, and CO2 emission balance for the front end of the nuclear fuel chain, assuming that the uranium feed is generated from re-enrichment of depleted uranium tails.

Calculate the official and the hidden cost of nuclear fuel: The market price for nuclear fuel does not necessarily include the future waste management costs linked to its production. The hidden costs may reach a multiple of the nominal costs!
Performs detailed calculations for the enrichment of natural and reprocessed uranium: mass balance, concentrations of minor isotopes, the additional enrichment required to compensate for the presence of the neutron-absorbing isotopes U-234 and/or U-236, cost, and optimum tails assay for minimum fuel cost.
Calculate collective doses and health risks from the production of nuclear fuel. The release of radioactive radon gas from mines, mills, and mill tailings is of major concern.
Calculate material and/or cost balance of mining, enrichment or downblending of uranium, and fuel production.
This calculator converts between units used for describing size and ore grade of uranium ore deposits.
This calculator determines the mass balance of uranium ore sorting, a process performed in some cases to remove low-grade material from mined uranium ore before sending it to a uranium mill for further processing. The results can be used for entry in the Uranium Mine Feasibility Calculator, for example.
Calculate economics of various processing steps.
Calculate radioactive decay, ingrowth of decay products, neutron activation, and neutron production.
Calculate radioactive decay and ingrowth of uranium and its decay products for a variety of nuclide mixes found in the nuclear fuel industry. Covers the natural U-238 and U-235 series, and the artificial U-236 and U-232 series.
Calculate radioactive decay and ingrowth of decay products for any nuclide mix and decay series, or lookup decay data.
Determine radioactive activation products of elements and nuclides exposed to neutron radiation.
Calculate neutron production in uranium compounds, as caused from alpha-neutron reactions and from spontaneous fission. Particularly of interest for uranium hexafluoride (UF6).
Calculate radiation dose from intake of a known amount of radionuclides.
Calculate the health risk for a uranium miner with a known radiation exposure history, and, in case he has contracted cancer, the probability of this cancer being caused by the radiation exposure. Covers lung cancer and a number of other cancers.
What is the radiation dose for an individual that is exposed to a known amount of uranium and/or its decay products? For a variety of nuclide mixes found in the nuclear fuel industry, this calculator covers ingestion, inhalation, external exposure from contaminated soil, and external exposure from a point source. Calculations can not only be performed for actual exposure situations, but also for future scenarios, taking decay and ingrowth of decay products into account.
Calculate the age-specific radiation dose caused from ingestion or inhalation of a certain amount of uranium. Determine situations where the standard adult is not the receiver of the highest dose.
Calculate the organ-specific radiation dose caused from uptake of a certain amount of uranium. This allows to determine the risk of contracting a certain type of cancer.
Calculate the biokinetic behaviour of uranium in the human body after intakes by inhalation, ingestion, or embedded shrapnel. Determine the uranium excretion in urine associated with a given intake, or, the other way round, estimate a prior intake from a given uranium concentration in urine, for example.
For another version of this calculator enlarged by compartment for hair, go to Uranium Biokinetics Calculator Vers. B.
Calculate the radiation dose from a shielded gamma source.
Examples for calculations include: Gamma radiation on a bare or covered uranium mill tailings pile, Gamma radiation near transport containers carrying uranium ore, U3O8, UF6, or the like, and Gamma radiation from a depleted uranium penetrator lying on the ground, or buried in the ground.
Calculate radiation dose received via certain pathways from a source of radiation.
Calculate the radiation dose and risk for an individual living on soil contaminated from uranium and/or in a home built from such contaminated material (residential exposure scenario). It covers the following pathways: ingestion of soil, inhalation of fugitive dusts, external exposure, ingestion of produce grown in the soil, ingestion of contaminated groundwater, and inhalation of radon.
Calculate individual dose and health risk from inhalation of radon and uranium dust for a person living nearby a uranium mine, mill and associated tailings pile.
Investigate engineering aspects of tailings dams.
Determine the Gamma radiation on a bare or covered uranium mill tailings pile (among others).
Determine the radon flux from a bare and/or water-covered uranium mill tailings pile.
Determine the radon flux through a multi-layer soil cover of an uranium mill tailings pile and/or optimize the cover for a given flux.
Determine the factor of safety for a soil slope, for example for a tailings dam during seismic loads.
Determine the extent of a flow slide of mill tailings liquefied during an earthquake, and view a computed animation of the flow slide.
Convert a wide range of units, including many radiation units.

Celts = Indo-European group. Surfaced — Iron Age (1000 BC) = earliest archaeological evidence.
Dillon & Chadwick — date first Celtic settlements (of British Isles) > Early Bronze Age (circa 1800 BC). Thus identify Beaker Folk — Celts.
L. E. Stover & B. King = date Celtic origins earlier. Classify Stonehenge and Utenice burials — as formative Celts.
Thus — beginning of 3rd millenium BC — developed in Europe (> British Isles) heroic societies that became (linguistically, culturally) Celts. [Upper Barbarians — Bronze Age].

Beginning/early part of 1st millenium — Celts emerged as discrete, Indo-European ethnic/cultural group.
From homeland (Bohemia?) > dominant non-Mediterranean people. Expansion > west France, Spain > Britain, Ireland. East > Turkey (Galatians).
Took with them — chariots, iron swords + linear/geometric art = Halistat (after an important cemetery in Austria).
500 BC — new art = La Tene (after a site in Switzerland). Baroque development.
Celtoi (Herodotus) = mid 5th century, described as tall, light skin, hair, eyes. NB — Posidonius lst century BC).
Rapid expansion — 390 BC — sacked Rome. 279 BC > Delphi. Many tribes settled in France [Romans called them Gauls]. Also included — Boil (Bologna, Bohemia); Belgae (Belgium); . Helvetii (Switzerland). Settlements = Lutetia Prisiorum (Paris); Lugudonum (Lyon); Vindobona (Vienna); Mediolanum (Milan).

Mythology, legends, folklore — Celtic peoples = oldest, most vibrant of Europe. Celts = first people N of Alps to emerge into recorded history.
Celts — linguistic group = branch — Indo-European family = encompasses most of languages spoken in Europe, N. Iran, and India.
Italic or Latin (now = Romance); Germanic; Slavonic; Baltic; Celtic; Iranian; Indo-Aryan.
Originators — Indo-European = probable origin — between Baltic and Black Sea. Probable parent tongue = dialects, prior to migrant waves into Europe and Asia.
First Indo-European literature = Hittite (now Eastern Turkey). Hittites — empire — incorporated Babylonia. Hittite writing — emerged — 1900 BC, vanished circa 1400 BC. Literature survives cuneiform syllabics on tablets.
Scholars argue — Celtic dialect of Indo-European = parent of all Celtic languages, emerged circa 2000 BC. Celts — appeared — distinctive culture in headwaters of Danube, Rhine + Rhone [now Switzerland + SW Germany].
Place-name survey = rivers, mountains, towns — still retain their Celtic original. Three great rivers — Danube (Danuvius) — after Danu (divine waters); Rhone = Rhodanus (incorporates ro = ‘great); Rhine = Rhenus (sea way).
This area = developed their distinctive culture. Thus — Hallstatt Culture (1200-475 BC) = Lake Hallstatt, upper Austria.
Later Hallstatt > La Tene = norther edge of Lake Neuchatel. Discovery — iron smelting start of !st millenium BC. Smelting = new role in society. Artisans > nobility.
Thus — Celtic Iron Age expansion through N. European forests. Thus — agriculture = iron ploughshare + threshing machines. Thus — built roads [Old Irish — slighe from sligin = ‘I hew].
Some Celtic tribes — crossed Alps > Po Valley by 7th BC. Thus — conflict with Etruscan empire. Pushed south of Appenines. Senones — crossed Appennines circa 390 BC. Then — encountered resistance = Romans + Etruscans.
Senones — defeated Romans > Battle of Ma. Occupied Rome for 7 months. Senate > ransomed city. Then — Senones settled at Ancona.
This period — appears in Celtic mythological tales [recorded by Geoffrey of Monmouth]. See Historia Regum Britanniae.
100 years later — Celtic tribes > Greek peninsula. Defeated combined Greek armies at Thermopylae. Then > sacked Delphi.
Celts (Kelto) — recorded history = 6th century Greek travellers/historians. Herodotus — says merchant from samos (Calaeus) landed at mouth of Tartessus = modem river Guadalquivir circa 630 BC.
Found Celts settled throughout Iberian peninsula — exploiting the regions silver mines. Trade — Greeks/Celts — developed. First records = Herodotus + Hecataeus of Miletus.
Celts = greatest expansion. Ireland to Turkey (= the Celtic ‘commonwealth of Galatia’). [St Paul = Galatians. First non-Jewish > Xians].
North from Belgium (Belgae), south > France (Gaul) > Iberia > Cadiz. Alps > Po Valley (Cis-Alpine Gaul) > Danube Valley. Switzerland = Helvetii.
This period = several Celtic dialects. Not all Celts spoke the same language.
Tide of Celtic expansion turned. Slav/Germanic expansion began to turn Celts back. Celtic survivals now = NW Europe periphery. E.g., Manx, Irish, Scottish (Giodelic — Q-Celtic); Welsh, Comish, Breton (Brythonic — P-Celtic). | 2019-04-25T10:11:26 | https://ericwedwards.wordpress.com/2013/12/04/the-celts/ |
Virtually all modern social, economic, and political systems rely first and foremost on a robust and stable energy infrastructure. This is Puerto Rico’s most glaring weakness laid bare by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. But the devastation of infrastructure wrought by these storms, the failure of the government-owned utility, and the bankruptcy of that utility and the Commonwealth have paradoxically created fertile conditions for transformation and a globally unparalleled opportunity to build back a first-of-its-kind modern system of infrastructure.
In this talk, Mr. King will discuss how Puerto Rico is now and will be for years to come the "sandbox" where clean and sustainable energy technologies, business practices, financial innovation, dynamic regulatory structure, and political will are all tested and refined to create the modern, resilient, distributed grid and energy infrastructure of the future. This is an extremely valuable opportunity for the future of Puerto Rico and must be nurtured.
With more than thirty years experience in finance and energy, Mr. King has completed more than $25 billion of equity and debt investments across six continents acting both in a proprietary capacity and for many of the world's most prominent energy and infrastructure companies. He has provided path-finding leadership in structured debt financings leading to solar energy ABS and was an early investor in and proponent of PACE financing.
Mr. King recently launched and serves as President of the Borincana Foundation, an energy infrastructure non-profit and think tank for Puerto Rico. Mr. King is also Managing Partner of CrossRiver Capital and was a Founding Partner of US Renewables Group, the first private equity group focused solely on renewable power, bio-fuels/chemicals, and related infrastructure. | 2019-04-24T22:30:11 | https://sustainability.asu.edu/events/rsvp/puerto-rico-gateway-to-the-future-of-energy-infrastructure/ |
No, the Boston Celtics do not have a lottery pick.
But somebody besides dad Doc Rivers is in love with Austin Rivers. At least if you are to believe a report from Marc Spears at Yahoo Sports.
(One) East scout expects Rivers to be selected in the Nos. 10-20 range, but an NBA source told Yahoo! Sports that Rivers has a promise late in the draft lottery. The Portland Trail Blazers, Toronto Raptors, Houston Rockets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns, Washington Wizards and New Orleans Hornets plan to work out Rivers.
Still, apparently somebody is high on Rivers, who has the smooth game you expect of a coach’s son but can at times look for his own shot over setting up teammates for better looks.
Just know Rivers will not be a Celtic next season. Austin Rivers, we mean. | 2019-04-19T02:21:49 | https://nba.nbcsports.com/2012/06/09/report-austin-rivers-has-a-promise-from-a-lottery-team/ |

As the Vice President of Business Development for InHealth Systems and Services, she is responsible for all new products and services the company offers and manages a staff of 60. As the mother of 17-year-old twins, she spends an equal amount of time at school events and in the car driving groups of teenagers from one activity to the next. She and her husband Richard live in Atlanta, GA with twins Courtney and Taylor and dogs Cooper and Charlie.
Sue Kay has spent 26 years in the workforce - 17 of them as a working mother. During that time, she has worked a part-time schedule, a flexible schedule, a full-time schedule, and has also owned her own business. Business travel has been a frequent part of her career.
In addition to a busy professional life, Sue also has a busy personal life. Along with keeping up with two busy teenagers, Sue also serves on the Board of the High School Band Boosters, teaches 11th grade Sunday School, and plays the flute in the church orchestra.
In her role at InHealth Systems and Services, Sue also publishes Efficiency in Practice, a twice-monthly newsletter designed to help medical practice managers run more efficient and effective offices.
As a working mom, I'm always looking for ways to get more done in less time - both at work and at home. While I've always had a neat streak and a compulsion to clean out a closet when I'm stressed, I've learned from experience that there is more to balancing work and motherhood than simply keeping a clean and organized home.
During my career as a working mom, I've been fortunate to have mentors both in the workplace and in my personal life who were willing to share their experiences. Their advice was invaluable. My goal in contributing to this site is to share with you my experiences, ideas, tips and suggestions in hopes that they will help you not only manage your life as a working mom but to enjoy it as well.
In doing so, I also hope to set a good example for my 11th grade Sunday School students by sharing my time and my skills to hopefully help others. | 2019-04-23T00:00:48 | https://www.verywellfamily.com/sue-kay-3544739 |
It all began on a field trip to Big Meadows in the Blue Ridge Mountains way back in the fall of 1987.
It was there that two young lads, Thomas Miller and Mark Rathke, discovered some odd looking vegetation that became known to them as "figwart". This would be the title for their first album.
The lads interest in music came to be as spontaneous as they were. After deciding they had sufficient equipment to record with (An old Acoustic 150 Bass Amp with reverb, a radio shack microphone, a two track tape recorder, SHS10 keyboard and Gorilla amp) they decided to do just that. As they were recording they noticed they didn't have a moniker, so Thomas started making garbled, incomprehensible noises which Mark accurately identified as baboon noises. So from that point on the name has stuck. Figwart garnered a loyal following of metal heads and skaters at Broadway High School. The original tape was lent out to a fan who returned the tape but misplaced the cover. New artwork had to be drawn. Later on during their junior year in Broadway High, Thomas and Mark began work on their second album: Truth, Justice And The American Way.
The second album was well on its way to success with the hit song "Ode To The Kingpin" making it's debut in Mrs. Kings art class. Other great tunes such as Short Stuff Oriental and Hematoma went over well with the massive fan base. By massive, I mean about 5 or 6 people. The third album, Bog Lore, bombed. This can probably be attributed to the fact that the band was dating "twins" at the time (very dangerous). It was rushed after recording an ep titled Songs Of The Second Sun. Bog Lore would be the last recording to take place at the famed Second Sun Studios in Linville Virginia.
By graduation, the fan base and connections in school began to fade. College was beckoning both members. The future of Baboon was in doubt as Thomas was pursuing computers and Mark seeked more musical outlets.
By 1991, Mark reminisced over the past few years and was very happy that Baboon had produced 4 recordings. He decided to keep it going but needed help with vocals. So he was in search for a new member and in 1991 he ran into Roger Bond. The two worked diligently and cranked out 15 songs along with the help of Roger's younger cousin Shawn Moore on keyboard bass. Operation Kiyard was recorded live and would be the last album recorded in this manner. Under The Gun was the first multi-tracked effort by Baboon and was produced and recorded by Scott Becker. It became their first radio hit on 91.7fm WEMC. The album changed direction musically to a heavier vain. It also opened doors to both of them to join a band called Sabaoth. The album was probably the biggest selling at the time with about 30 copies sold as cassette tapes.
In 1993 Thomas sold his computer and bought a bass and rekindled his interest in music. But he was also soon to move to Colorado. So he and Mark recorded one more Baboon album, Flabby Road, which included tunes such as Love Is A Cracked Head Gasket, Softique Coin, and Cheese With Lint. The album was a testimony to classic Baboon and would be the first album recorded as a multi-track session.
After Thom moved, Roger and mostly Mark recorded Pennywaste in 1995. It was the last effort for which Roger would take part. This was an album which brought Baboon to the record stores. Town and Campus Records carried this album and it sold like wildfire. A re-released version with alternative artwork and the name Wenniepaste was sold there. It was later that year that it was found out that the band had to change its name because there was a "Baboon" up in Boston, Massachusetts. No problem! They just called it what it is today: Baboon Rising after a band with a similar situation had to do the same. Vengeance Rising.
1996 was the mark of the first effort with the new name and as a solo effort. They Never Cared was a concept ep with three old songs and two new ones that dealt with x-girlfriends and feminazism. In 1997 Baboon Rising released Out Of Balance with Thom guesting on Flushboy in February and Benevolent Creation in December, the most diverse musically to date. It also sold at local record stores Musicland, Disc Jockey, and Town and Campus in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
In 1998 In The Eye Of Ripkile was recorded and released at Town and Campus records. Reports say that on the release date people actually walked by the store and some came inside and bought an album, just not a Baboon Rising album. The same was true for the next release, with an added note.
The Politics Of Pungency was the first album to be offered on the Internet through mp3.com as well as at the local stores. The Jug Substance Incident received moderate downloads and rankings. But it was Worte Konnen Nicht Ausdrucklich (written in memory of Bruce J. Rathke) that received the most popular status. It made it to the top ten in the classical genre, which is probably the least popular genre.
The band decided it was time to make a worst hits album, celebrating ten full length albums. To commemorate this accomplishment, Mark collaborated with Thom Miller to re-record some Baboon classics. A coin was minted as well to celebrate this momentous occasion. Decimation: The Best of the Worst was released and received special recognition with a tune called Lethal Liddy. On May 3, 2000, G. Gordon Liddy played this song on his radio show in a contest in which hundreds participated. The song, which made it to the top five, was heard by anywhere from 8 - 10 million people, who probably heard it, gagged, and then forgot about it.
The next album had to be better than all the other before it. And, it needed to be set apart from the rest in a new era for Baboon Rising. So, on Nov. 7th (election day 2000) the band released it's self-titled effort; Baboon Rising. This album received the most downloads from mp3.com, but hardly charted because of the increased number of bands using the service. But, it has received airplay on both local rock stations in the Harrisonburg area; WBOP, and 98 Rock with the song Biocyber Virus Infection.
In November 2002 The Element Of Surprise was unleashed with a fury. It was the first album with drum sequencing by Dave (Iggy) Eagle. Igg would continue to work on future Baboon Rising recordings as a guest musician. With the recent success of Baboon Rising, it did not interpret into album sales. It sold the least of all the albums to date. Probably because Mark kept giving the album away. It also marked the first time a video was produced. Maritime Lunacy was released as a video and later uploaded to the popular video sharing service, YouTube.
With the release of Megland in 2004 for came a pivotal moment for the band. The single Bring The Hammer Down, a tribute to the hit television show Sledge Hammer!, contained a metal stylized version of the show's theme, which was used on both seasons of the Sledge Hammer! DVD's. 2004 was also a year that the forums were launched in their present form. The forums have since gained international attention from as far away as France.
2007 was another great year for Baboon Rising in the form of a distribution deal with Century Media to carry the last four albums including the latest Friendly Agrarian Tower, released in 2005.The single from the album, Preexisting Condition, received a lot of airplay on 98 Rock's Wet Paint radio show.
The Rising Cost of Metal was the first album to be released in digital form as well as physical CDs. It was also the album with the most guest musicians. 2010 was another highlight year as Bring The Hammer Down opened Sledge Fest!, the first gathering of Sledge Hammer! fans of it's kind. As the year came to a close, A Space Oddity was released unto the masses and garnered airplay on local radio as well as an internet radio station called The Phoenix out of Maryland. A video for Solemate, an bonus track for the album was recorded and posted on YouTube in high definition.
2010 also marked the first year that Baboon Rising was made available through several different digital distribution channels including iTunes, Rhapsody, Spotify, Amazon, etc.
2011 was spent recording a new album. The first single, Event Registry, was released as a video on YouTube and was the first effort to use animation. The album Gyroscope was released in November 2012. 2015 was spent recording the newest offering entitled This Composition. It ended up being the most expensive effort being as it was sent off to the Russian Federation for drum programming, mixing and mastering by Death Culture Metal Production. This recording is the longest ever to be released on CD. But as is the case with the last few albums, it was released in digital form and for sale at www.baboonrising.com, iTunes and other digital distribution outlets. | 2019-04-25T10:20:50 | http://baboonrising.com/history.html |
Any candidate you decide to hire will likely be considering other offers. Convincing them to join your team will be much easier if you know what they’re looking for, and can showcase this job as an opportunity to get it.
Be sure to ask candidates what they’re looking for early on so you can understand their motivation for switching jobs. Is it job security? Work-life balance? Experience? Find out what motivates candidates so you can talk about the company in a way that will resonate with them.
Once you know what drives a candidate, make sure to tailor your pitch appropriately. Are they looking to grow in their next role? Highlight the opportunity to learn on the job and take on more responsibility. Are they looking for a better work-life balance? Talk about flexibility in work hours and your remote-working policy.
Don’t wait until you’ve decided to make an offer to start selling them on the benefits of working at your company—by then their guard is up. From the copy in your job ads, to the initial phone screen and beyond, use every candidate interaction as an opportunity to sell the benefits of working at your company. | 2019-04-25T01:52:56 | http://www.greenhouse.io/effective-recruiting/sell-candidates-early |
The Chicago flavor of Bus Rapid Transit made its debut earlier today, as the first Loop Link buses trundled between Union Station and Michigan Avenue. The idea is to speed bus pacing through the most congested part of the city by giving buses dedicated lanes and priority at traffic lights, reducing the number of stations, making boarding easier, and eventually implementing a pre-paid fare system to move the Ventra waits from inside the bus to the station platform.
Sunday is an easy day to roll out such a system since cross-town buses in the Loop operate somewhat infrequently. The real test will be tomorrow when the first Monday morning commuters hit the grid. Though demand should still be below peak because many offices are closed for Christmas week.
Right now the stations are architectural wonders of glass panels waiting for art students to etch them with acid and shiny illuminated metal bollards waiting for taxis to smash into them.
For more on how the system works, and what its shortcomings are, check out the Chicago Tonight’s segment below that aired this past Thursday at WTTW, and the photo gallery of the Loop Link’s first day in operation. | 2019-04-21T17:04:14 | https://www.chicagoarchitecture.org/2015/12/20/chicagos-brt-lite-loop-link-finally-links-loop/ |
In theory, the concept My Amend of mobile payments has a strong business case, given the high market penetration rates of mobile devices, such as cellular phones and PDA?s, in many parts of the world. In addition, mobile operators and financial institutions, through the use of these devices, envision an attractive way to enable their customers to make payments. On the consumer side, users can reap the benefits of convenience, permitting them to buy goods and services from any location.
In principle, a mobile device can be used as a POS (point of sale) tool. Mobile operators and financial institutions consider this concept as the next logical step in making mobile devices a trusted payment device for consumers, acting as a payment instrument supplementing cash, cheque, credit card and debit card.
Currently, financial institutions are rolling out wireless POS capabilities to merchants which are in-turn competing with a consumer?s mobile phone. Several new services have been introduced around the world in which merchants are accepting payments from wireless POS terminals. These wireless POS terminals, for example, allow merchants to offer home delivery services in which payments are presented and accepted upon delivery of goods or services at the consumer?s location.
Wireless POS terminals use the wireless networks of mobile operators to send payment instructions to a merchant acquirer?s payment server. Consequently, wireless POS services are classified as an extension of traditional payment services. Given that in some areas of the world almost everyone will soon own a mobile phone, and most merchant locations offer POS terminals as a form of payment, it is at least conceivable that the mobile device will take over a large part of the retail payment market.
Since wireless POS implementations are an extension of current payment infrastructures, users still need to use a credit or debit card to make purchases. The convenience associated with current wireless POS methods have to do with the fact that these terminals are brought to the location of the purchase. For example, in a restaurant environment with the user paying for their bill via debit card from their seat, or for their groceries which have been delivered to their front door.
Mobile devices enable the use of numerous services, services that do not need card readers, personal computers, and modem combinations or a merchant?s wireline POS terminal. Nowadays, mobile devices have an embedded chip that can be used to store information and provide secure authorization and identification.
But to make these services available to the majority of mobile users, mobile payment service providers need to roll out services that offer interoperability. There have been numerous mobile payment pilots conducted that enable mobile devices to be used as a payment option, some of which have advanced into full mobile payment services (e.g. PayPal, PayBox, MovilPago). To date, we?ve discovered that the key to providing a successful mobile payment service has to do with the benefits it gives the end user and the end user’s customers: convenience, security, and freedom being a few key elements.
Though the industry has a long way to go before mobile devices will become a consumer?s payment instrument of choice, to ensure the stability of a viable mobile payments infrastructure, collaboration is the key.
Both mobile operators and financial institutions have tried, with little success, to implement their own individual pilot projects. Both parties have encountered numerous difficulties. Mobile operators, for example, because of their extensive existing customer base, technical know-how and billing comprehension, seemed the most likely candidates to provide mobile payment services. However, problems associated with risk management and the collaboration of numerous providers needed to accomplish interoperability have arisen. Financial institutions on the other hand are confronted with a limited number of users and high infrastructure costs. To remedy these problems, mobile operators and financial institutions have begun collaborating to jointly offer mobile payment services to their customers. For instance, leading Dutch direct bank ING/Postbank Nederland, has partnered with the Netherlands number three mobile carrier Telfort, to offer users mobile access to the bank?s retail applications and link user bank accounts to Telfort?s prepaid service top-up capabilities for account recharging. In this case, the fact that these two entities are taking advantage of their natural symbiosis is a big step in the right direction.
Right now there are four entities needed to make a payment via credit card (acquirers, issuers, merchants and consumers) to make a payment via mobile device, there are five (mobile operators, acquires, issuer, merchant and consumers). As a result, the ideal business model includes the cooperation between mobile operators, financial institutions, technology suppliers and industry associations to create a certain amount of standardization which will ensure the successful implementation of a strong mobile payments infrastructure.
Still, numerous issues, including limited functionality available through the current generation of networks as well as a lack of standards to name a few, are still hampering the efforts being carried out by these industry players. In addition, questions regarding successful revenue generating business models also remain.
As mentioned earlier, cell phone and PDA penetration rates are higher then they’ve ever been, with forecasted growth rates showing exponential increases in consumer adoption. Accordingly, industry focus should be centered around the business side. Right now it is not feasible for a mobile operator or a financial institution to role out competing services on a proprietary model that does not include interoperability. Mobile operators and financial institutions must work together to implement mobile payment services that marry a consumer?s bank account with their mobile subscription. Offering payment services should not be seen as a competitive advantage, but rather as a necessity which will drive the success of the rollout of mobile commerce.
Today we see several initiatives taking place including the creation of various industry associations designed to address the different issues associated with the mobile industry. With these activities underway-mobile operators and financial institutions are beginning to work together to roll out new payment services. Pre-paid top up, for example, is the first real commercial mobile payment application that is being introduced into several markets. Financial institutions and mobile operators are collaborating to enabling mobile subscribers to electronically pay for their pre-paid wireless accounts using several banking channels such as telephone banking, Internet banking, and ATM and mobile banking, completely automating the ?top-up? experience using SMS (Short Message Service).
Currently, payment instruments are stored in virtual wallets residing either on the mobile device or centralized on the open network service platform. Consumers register for the service through their financial institution, mobile operator or service provider, depending on how the service is setup. The registration is necessary to link the consumer?s subscription data with their financial information and provision the mobile device for the service. Future methods may see users using their mobile device as a way to simply access their bank accounts, whereby the mobile operator?s function will be simply to transport the data. In addition, smart cards issued by financial institutions may begin to become more prevalent.
As mobile services and infrastructures evolve we will begin to see the true notion of mobile payment instruments living up to the hype of ?anytime, anywhere payments.? Soon, mobile payments will become an integral part of consumer lifestyles, replacing the payment instruments we have hidden in our wallets today. It is clear, that the co-operation between mobile operators and financial institutions is needed to build a viable mobile payments offering. It is also clear that the next logical payments industry step is to provide consumers with the ability to make payments for goods and services on their mobile devices. The only true concept of ?anytime anywhere payments? is conceivable through access via a mobile device. ‘Where there’s a wireless, there’s a way’ and the key to the success of the industry is as simple as giving consumers what they want.

BOSTON (CBS) — Jean Wang makes a living sharing her fashion sense with more than 500,000 online followers.
“There’s definitely a bit of misconception that being a blogger or an Instagram influencer is a very easy thing to do,” Jean said.
The Boston blogger is the face and force behind Extra Petite and the associated social media platforms. The sites are packed with pictures of her favorite styles and baby gear. It’s a job she’s been happy to have for nearly 10 years.
Jean recently sat down with WBZ at The Revolution Hotel in Boston to talk about the job she loves. “A blogger/influencer wears many hats. Partially, you’re a magazine editor, you’re also a stylist, you also take photos, you edit those photos, you also write, and that’s on top the day-to-day administrative work.” Not to mention, the hours spent scouting out locations and responding to comments online.
“There’s a lot of different ways to monetize. It depends on what niche you’re in and what works best for you and your audience,” she added.
With more online shoppers blocking or ignoring online ads, retailers are turning to social media influencers as an alternative. Businesses are expected to spend as much as $101 billion on this type of marketing by next year, according to a study from Association of National Advertisers and PQ Media.
Jean also partners with big name brands like Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, and Nordstrom. Success is measured with shares, likes, and, of course, sales.
Payments for these online influencers can range from free products to hundreds or a few thousand dollars per post. But, this number soars for celebrity sponsorship. Right now, Kylie Jenner holds the title of highest paid Instagrammer at a reported $1 million per post. | 2019-04-18T11:24:30 | https://boston.cbslocal.com/2019/03/18/instagram-boston-blogger-influencer-jean-wang/ |
