"Stay on the high road with me. Many voices clamor for your attention, trying to divert you to another path. But I have called you to walk ever closely with Me, soaking in My Presence, living in My Peace. This is my unique design for you, planned before the world began.
"I have called each of My children to a different path, distinctly designed for that one. Do not let anyone convince you that his path is the only right way. And be careful not to extol your path as superior to another's way. What I require of you is to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Me - wherever I lead."

Polygon Wood is a large wood, which was completely destroyed in the First World War. There you will find a burial ground named ‘Buttes New British Cemetery’ with the ‘New Zealand Memorial’. It commemorates 383 officers and men of the New Zealand Division. On top of the the 'butte' (hill) you will find the Memorial of the 5th Australian Division. In Polygon Wood there are still remains of several shelters. Each year on ANZAC Day (25 April), the efforts of the ANZAC soldiers are commemorated during a service called 'Dawn Service'. Polygon Wood Cemetery lies on the other side of the road. | 2019-04-23T07:09:31 | https://www.flandersfields.be/en/do/polygon-wood-cemeterybuttes-new-british-cemetery |

Actual car key of mine with the Boker Vox.
Even though virtually every pocket tool on the planet has a hole for a key ring, few of them ever make it on to mine. Either the tool is too big or heavy or just too complicated to make it worth adding to my collection of keys. But the Boker Vox surprised me with its light weight and utility and, as a result, ended up on my key ring. So it just goes to show you the value — in the pocket tool world, at least — of being small, simple, but sophisticated.
Named for its designer, Jesper Voxnaes, the Boker Vox retails for $45.95 and offers a lever, nail clipper, bottle opener, carabiner and shackle opener. A small point at the end, protected by two rubber O-rings, serves as a glass breaker. Vox measures about 3.6” in length, 0.2” in width, and weighs 0.7 oz. Made from titanium, it is super strong and light.
You know how strong Titanium is, right? Super strong. A great material for a keychain tool.
Lever: In hand, with your thumb pressed against the flat side of the tool, the Vox has no trouble digging up the wood to get under a stubborn nail. Nor does it mind being pushed into a crevice in order to open it up somewhat. You’ll get enough leverage for light-duty jobs — and that’s enough for a keychain-mounted tool.
Nail clipper: I think it’s more meaningful to just call this a cutter but it can do nail duty, yes. With this tool I’ve also unzipped packing tape around packages arriving in my home and other light duty cutting tasks.
Bottle opener: Although most people will figure out a way to open a bottle, tool or not, it’s nice to have a tool designed specifically for it. On the Vox, the lip at the top side of the carabiner opening can fit under a bottle cap, providing leverage for that most-anticipated sound as the bottle cap lifts off — ffft.
The small but tough glass breaker sits between two rubber O-rings.
Carabiner: The carabiner’s metal clip exerts a strong, constant pressure, ensuring it stays attached to whatever you attach it to. In most cases, it’ll be a key ring but it could also attach to a zipper (becoming a zipper pull) or the elastic cords of a backpack or even a belt loop.
Glass breaker: Tucked in between the two O-rings, where it won’t scratch anything, is the small, sharp protrusion meant to serve as a glass breaker.
On your keyring, you’ll probably find the pry and cutter most useful. And you can use the Vox as a last-ditch, self-defense tool, too.
Boker Vox is small, simple, and sophisticated. As such, a useful tool worthy of a spot on your keychain. | 2019-04-18T10:39:52 | https://gunsmagazine.com/gear/knives/boker-vox-tool-small-simple-but-sophisticated/ |

The Jade Tank Top is a workout staple where the design details influenced by Ernest Leoty's corsetry heritage make all the difference. Stitching mimics the bone work of a traditional corset to create the strong and supportive front panel and bra cups, but unlike the traditionally restrictive corsets, the high-performance technical material from our Italian mills means this top is designed to move with you, not against you. Pair with the Saskia Leggings for a high-energy workout. Available in Frutto, Ivory and Black. Here shown with Perform Legging in Navy. | 2019-04-21T19:02:12 | https://ernestleoty.com/collections/new-in/products/jade-tank-top-black |
Digital marketing may be something that every business, large and small, uses to connect with thousands of potential customers online, but it is not the only marketing instrument to use in the competitive market we have today. In fact, relying solely on digital marketing is a waste of great opportunities to connect with customers offline.
For small businesses, the right branding and marketing campaigns executed offline can lead to a more personal relationship with (potential) customers. The combination allows small businesses to stand out from their bigger rivals and deliver a more personalized experience to customers. To make it even better, getting started with offline branding is easy.
Consistency is the magic word to keep in mind when it comes to marketing and branding. You have to be consistent with the key messages you emit for your brand to be relatable. However, the approach isn’t as straightforward as it used to be.
If you already have an established brand in place, all you need to do is maintain that branding approach consistently across all of your marketing efforts. Both online and offline assets need to give off a similar – if not the same – feel that the customers can recognize.
If you are trying to fine-tune your brand, on the other hand, you can focus more on the insights you already have from existing online and offline marketing efforts. How are the customers seeing your brand right now? What changes to you need to make to stay relevant?
Do you know that the most effective internet marketing instrument for maximum conversion is email marketing? Email marketing started life as offline direct marketing and has evolved so much since. It is a true testament that older approaches still work brilliantly when adjusted to modern challenges.
The same mindset is how you should approach offline branding. Don’t be afraid to produce your own merchandise to better promote the brand and connect with customers. Items like T-shirts and custom pins given as bonuses to customers or sold as merchandise, are still very effective in helping you connect with the customers on a more personal level.
Other offline branding opportunities have multiple impacts. Agreeing to public speaking arrangements, for example, allows you, the owner of the business, to boost the credibility of your brand in an industry or on the market as a whole.
Branding is always about fine-tuning the details. There is no element of your business that should be taken lightly, simply because every one of them is a great opportunity to advance your brand. The packaging for your products is a part of the customer experience. The way you offer after sales services matters just as much as your sales pitch.
These are the details that help shape your brand in the eyes of customers. They are as important as engaging local communities, running offline promotional campaigns, using outdoor media for advertising, and connecting with local media outlets and stakeholders.
One bonus tip to keep in mind: you don’t have to do everything yourself. There are more than enough opportunities to do cross-promotions and to work together with other brands – especially those that are in line with yours – to expand your reach. Communities and other stakeholders can be a part of your brand image too, which is why working with them is a must.
Keep these tips in mind and you will find offline branding to be as easy and as impactful as digital marketing. In fact, you can gain an advantage over your competitors by becoming more relatable and connecting with the market on a more personal level. Any marketing campaign you run will be effective when you already have a strong and credible brand as an asset. | 2019-04-18T12:35:09 | http://www.mindmybusinessnyc.com/offline-branding-tips/ |
RUSSIAN DRIVING His Wrecked Truck Like NOTHING HAPPENED!
For people who are constantly on the move, on the road and searching the Internet as well, we have seen a decent amount of ridiculous things and situations. However, the following situation, featuring a wrecked truck, may be the new winner! Namely, it is a word of a pretty bizarre situation, which is rarely seen in person! We just don`t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing!
Anyway, in the first couple of seconds it seems like a completely normal situation. Just a semi-truck being overtaken by another vehicle. But right then is where the amazing happens! This particular truck appears to be more than 80% destroyed! How, why, when, what for, remains unclear. What truly adds to this whole situation is the calmness of the driver himself! Albeit his truck is more open than a convertible!
This wrecked truck is virtually decimated! It is a miracle that it actually is in driving condition! This vehicle has no roof, no passenger sear nor door, no windshield yet the driver`s door is still in place! In other words, more than half of the frontal part of this truck is simply GONE! We should not forget that there is a giant HOLE in the trailer as well. If you still cannot believe, be our guests and press play.

I'm feeling much better today despite some soreness, and I managed to get a lot done today while still spending some quality time with LO. My biggest accomplishment was cleaning out some of my closet and listing my stuff on evilbay. With LO around, I had to get rid of a lot of my heels that I won't be wearing anytime soon. It's sad to part with them but there's no point in keeping them if I haven't worn them. On the upside, hopefully it'll free up some space in my closet and add some cash towards some bills I have!
Essie Naughty Nautical is a the perfect shade of marine teal with silver shimmer. The formula was impeccably Essie with no streaking or pooling. It had a perfect consistency that self leveled after two easy coats. It dried quickly with a glossy shine, so no topcoat shown in these pics.
I thought Naughty Nautical had a similar base color as Hare's recently released Bisbee 2.0, a teal based crelly with gold shimmer, square, and hex glitter. The teal in Bisbee is a bit more blue leaning but not that far off once applied over Naughty Nautical. The gold hex glitter really pop against the teal base. I used two coats and had no trouble with clumping or dragging of glitters during application. This is finished with a layer of Poshe.
I really like these two polishes layered over each other because it didn't take away the depth of the Hare glitter. There's still that squishy factor that I love about color based glitter polishes but without having too much sheerness. Had I used Bisbee 2.0 alone, I would have probably used about 4 coats and still had some VNL. I haven't compared the original Bisbee to the new release, but so far I don't detect too much of a difference. If anything, the new version is more opaque than the original. Have you had a chance to compare them yet? | 2019-04-22T20:15:28 | http://www.prettytoughnails.com/2013/08/hare-bisbee-20-over-essie-naughty.html |
You won’t find the BEST dementia “drug” at the pharmacy.
But you’ve got it right now—in your own bedroom!
New research reveals what just might be your first… best… and maybe ONLY chance to turn dementia around.
And it all starts after your head hits the pillow, in a stage of sleep called “slow-wave”—aka “DEEP” sleep.
How deep is your sleep?
But this is different. You could get a full night of shuteye, yet still fall short in your amount of slow-wave sleep.
See, good sleep isn’t just about the AMOUNT you get.
It’s not even how you FEEL when you wake up.
All of those things are important, of course, but the most critical factor of all takes place when you’re completely unaware, as your body cycles through its different phases.
Each one has its own role—and as the new study shows, slow-wave sleep is positively CRITICAL to your brain health.
The less you get, the higher your levels of TOXIC PROTEINS in the brain called tau and beta-amyloid, which can lead to cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
The study doesn’t show entirely WHY the risk is there, but it’s likely due to your brain’s natural detox process, which sweeps out toxins during slow-wave sleep.
If you miss out on deep sleep, that process gets cut short and you end up with more than just cobwebs upstairs. You suffer damage in the form of beta-amyloid proteins and tau.
Ready for some good news? This is all within your control!
GABA: A 2016 study found 100mg of gamma-aminobutyric acid (as it’s more formally known) helped folks to fall asleep quicker and get more slow-wave sleep.
Fiber: Eating more fiber can trigger longer and better slow-wave sleep. Avoid grains – even whole grains – and get it from fruit and vegetables.
Don’t drink at night: Booze can cause you to fall into slow-wave sleep quicker, but it also leads to more disruptions later and less deep sleep overall. If you must drink, do so only moderately… never daily… and earlier in the evening. | 2019-04-21T13:13:19 | https://www.besthealthnutritionals.com/blog/2019/02/03/stop-dementia-from-the-most-comfortable-spot-in-your-home/ |

The Working Time Regulations (WTR) state that workers are entitled to a rest break if their daily working time is more than six hours. Regulation 30 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 provides that a worker may present a claim to an employment tribunal where the employer has refused to permit the worker to exercise any right to a rest break..
A recent Employment Appeal Tribunal decision made clear that employers are under a duty to afford workers their entitlement to take a rest break. Where working arrangements are put into place which do not allow workers to do so, that amounts to a refusal by the employer. Conversely, if the employer takes active steps to ensure working arrangements that enable workers to take their rest breaks, they will have met their obligation under the WTR as workers cannot be forced to take the rest breaks, they can only be “enabled” to take them.
The case is a welcome clarification of the right of workers to take rest breaks. In particular, while workers cannot be forced to take their rest breaks, employers must ensure that working arrangements allow them to do so. Where workers are under pressure not to take rest breaks because of working arrangements they will not be prevented from bringing a claim just because they have not requested one.

I remember the first time I used an Elemis product over 20 years ago now, I had changed from a much loved French Brand over to Elemis, purely because I was curious….. and so started my love affair with this Amazing English brand.
Elemis is the leading luxury British spa and skincare brand and for me I think it is the successful combination of natural active ingredients with cutting-edge technology which has kept my love affair with it going. Yes of course I use and enjoy other brands, but I always come back to, or slot in Elemis somewhere on a daily basis. It is a wonderful brand with products suitable for both men and women.
I think that long ago many people would consider This kind of skincare as a “Luxury” but in today’s society, busy lives, stressful situations, ill health, changes in diet and the knowledge that we have about skincare now, I believe that everyone deserves to have the best skin that they can. By using a few key products, even slotted into an existing routine, there is no reason why this cannot happen.
My skin has gone through many changes, from fast paced City Life, train travels, Long hours, clubbing, drinking, smoking ( which I sensibly stopped 17 years ago)…to pregnancy, childbirth, hormone changes caused by illness, dehydration caused by medication, the weather, pollution, you name it I’ve been there and done it. But Elemis has been there through it all.
I know I have mentioned before on a previous blog HERE, my love for their Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm which is quite a new product for Elemis, so today I am going to share some others with you.
I truly believe that our eyes are the windows to our and soul and I really do try to look after mine. I have quite a few different eye creams that I use and enjoy but for a full on treatment burst of goodness I turn to Elemis Pro-collagen Advanced Eye Treatment every time. This pot of beauty has a fab pippet applicator that is very easy and hygienic to use! I pour one drop from the pippet onto my fingers and gently tap all around my orbital bone and over my eyelids, under the eyes and the outer corners. This is amazing for fine lines and wrinkles and also dehydrated eyes, it feels beautiful and cooling on the skin. It has a lovely, delicate marine smell which I am assuming is from the..Padina Pavonica. The great news about this product as an added bonus is it can also be used around the fine lines of the lips and I have had great results from this. I am a side sleeper and this causes vertical lip lines so using this product has really helped.
Pro-Collagen Marine Cream is the award winning anti-ageing moisturiser from Elemis. When used in conjunction with their pro-collagen night cream where possible, you really have a winning combination for beautiful skin. Containing the amazing ingredient Mediterranean algae, Padina Pavonica and blended with precious Rose and Mimosa Absolutes this lightweight, cooling moisturiser packs a powerful punch against lines and wrinkles. Easy to apply I could clearly see a change in my skin the first time I used it..my fine lines appeared less pronounced and my skin just appeared to look more youthful and healthier which, considering how tired I always am and how much medication I take, this is always gratefully received. It has the most beautiful lightweight, almost whipped texture and is so easily absorbed into the skin.
Now I could seriously rave all day long about how much I adore, the Pro-collagen Oxygenating Night cream but basically I will just tell you about the results that I have seen and urge you to try it for yourself!
Firstly I love the smell of this product, it is so beautiful and spa like that I have to stop my self from smothering my whole body in it!! This night cream glides on like an absolute dream and sinks beautifully into my skin leaving no residue or roll off. It does not stick to the pillow and is so cooling and feels lovely and light on the skin. It works by replenishing oxygen in the skin, improves elasticity and targets premature signs of ageing. When I wake up my skin has a beautiful sheen, is soft, plump and beautifully hydrated. I love that whilst I am sleeping and relaxing, my skin and night cream have been working hard together to make me wake up looking rested and fabulous! This night cream is great for all skin types.
"Lets talk Future Skin with Judith Williams"
Absolutely love Elemis products and my favourite cleanser is the Cleansing Balm too, even over other Elemis cleansers I've tried. It smells wonderful and after applying it, if you put a little water on your fingertips and massage it on, it turns milky, so more like lotion. Pro collagen marine cream has a lovely light texture and very delicate fragrance, another of my favourites too. The melting cleansing gel comes a very close second to the cleansing balm. Love the whole range in fact. | 2019-04-20T08:49:47 | https://www.backtoyoubeauty.co.uk/2015/05/12collagen-elemis-gets-it-right.html |
MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- On Memorial Day, Monday, May 26th at Wood National Cemetery -- was a powerful tribute from veterans still with us -- in honor of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Wood National Cemetery on West National Avenue played host to the annual Milwaukee Veterans Affairs Memorial Day ceremony.
Memorial Day is a day meant for remembering the servicemen and servicewomen who have died while serving the country.
It is a day meant for reverence, reflection, and a heartfelt "thank you" to our veterans.
It is a federal holiday that inspires those who haven't served -- and conjures vivid memories for those who have.
"The buddies that I lost in Vietnam, that were killed next to me -- I`ll always think about them every year, all the time," Vietnam veteran Fred Masarik said.
Masarik was in awe at the respect he was shown during the ceremony at Wood National Cemetery on Monday.
He knows first-hand -- it wasn't always like this.
"It was different times. The country was very divided, and when we came through San Francisco, they threw stuff at our jet in `67. We just sort of shook our heads," Marasik said.
In speaking with veterans on this Memorial Day who have sacrificed to serve our country -- one common call was for us to appreciate our freedom.
"You don`t know what we have here. When I went to the embassy and saw our flag every day, that just filled me with so much pride," Navy veteran Marcia Cunningham said.
Of course, those freedoms have come at a tremendous cost. A cost so great, some veterans say they need ceremonies like Monday's for a reminder.
"It's real important for me to just visualize this and go through it. Just keep it in my mind. Once you're a vet -- you're a vet," Vietnam veteran Earl Milan said.
"People should never, ever forget what they gave and sacrificed for this country. The ultimate sacrifice," Marasik said.
The least we can all do is reflect on that sacrifice.
Wood National Cemetery is actually CLOSED to new interments.
The only interments that are being accepted are subsequent interments for veterans or eligible family members in an existing gravesite.
Periodically however, burial space may become available due to a canceled reservation or when a disinterment has been completed.
When either of these two scenarios occurs, the gravesite is made available to another eligible veteran on a first-come, first-served basis.
The cemetery is co-located with the VA Medical Center and the VA Regional Office in Milwaukee.
It is the only cemetery in the National Cemetery Administration that is co-located with both a Veterans Affairs Medical Center and a Veterans Affairs Regional Office.
The cemetery is located on the grounds of a former Soldiers Home that today is called the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center, Milwaukee, Wis.
From 1867 until 1871, the home buried its soldiers in private cemeteries in the Milwaukee area.
In 1871, a cemetery opened on the grounds.
Originally known only as Soldiers Home Cemetery, it wasn’t until 1937 the name was changed to honor Gen. George Wood, a longtime member of the Soldiers’ Home’s Board of Managers.
It became a national cemetery in 1973.
The cemetery is part of the Northwestern Branch-National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers National Historic Landmark district, designated on June 6, 2011.
The 60-foot-tall granite Civil War Soldiers and Sailors monument was erected in 1903 when the cemetery was part of the Northwest Branch Asylum for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers.
The monument was sponsored by the Soldiers and Sailors Association and was sculpted by Joseph Shaver Granite and Marble Co. of Milwaukee.
A memorial pathway is lined with a variety of memorials that honor America’s veterans.
As of 2003, there were seven memorials along there —most commemorating soldiers of 20th-century wars.
Ordinary Seaman James K. Duncan (Civil War), U. S. Navy, USS Fort Hindman. Harrisonburg, La., April 16, 1864 (Section 19, Grave 41).
Private Milton Matthews (Civil War), U.S. Army, Company C, 61st Pennsylvania Infantry. Petersburg, Va., April 2, 1865 (Section 11, Grave 61).
Corporal Winthrop D. Putnam (Civil War), U.S. Army, Company A, 77th, Illinois Infantry. Vicksburg, Miss., May 22, 1863 (Section 16, Grave 109).

With the recent announcement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for the next fifteen years, it’s clear that there will be more intense scrutiny on organizations to deliver work which yields strong, quantifiable results. This means it’s now more important than ever to make sure you’re using the right mobile data collection tools. However, there are so many tools out there that it can be overwhelming to decide on the right one. At TaroWorks, we speak to lots of organizations at the early stages of looking for tools, and want to share 5 major themes that come up consistently, so that you can find the most appropriate one that allows you to focus on making an impact.
1. What will the data be used for?
Impact monitoring & evaluation over time: If you need to track results over time for a specific entity, make sure the tool allows for that. If you sample and don’t need to track specific entities, then a general mobile data collection tool can work.
Managing business operations: Monitoring ongoing transactions in order to make business decisions. This entails managing field operations and supply chain activities, and may require tools that go beyond simple data collection.

Meet Newsday's All-Long Island boys tennis first team for the 2017 spring season.
Long Island Player of the Year: Yuval Solomon, Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK, Sr.
Solomon capped a historic varsity run with a second straight state championship. Only six other Nassau County boys tennis players have won multiple state titles. The Wake Forest commit rolled over every opponent in his path, never losing a set or more than four games during the state tournament.
"When he came here the first day, he was hitting the ball four times in a game," coach Nick Ventimiglia said. "It was ace, ace, ace ace." Solomon, who was the state runner-up as a sophomore and the consolation runner-up as a freshman, went 73-2 over his last three seasons. He also reached the state tournament as part of a doubles team in eighth grade.
"It's been a pleasure playing high school tennis," Solomon said. "Five years at the state tournament, six years on varsity tennis, and it's just great."
Suffolk Player of the Year: Jack Flores, Huntington, Fr.
With three more years of high school tennis, Flores has plenty more he can accomplish.His freshman season was special enough to indicate the future is extremely bright.
Flores impressively defeated Half Hollow Hills West's Jackson Weisbrot, who had beaten him twice already this season, in the Suffolk singles championship final. He dominated his first-round match in the state tournament before putting up a strong fight but falling short in the second round.
Alvaro Bezos, St. John the Baptist, Sr.
Bezos won the CHSAA singles championship in his only season on the varsity.
Peter Siozios, New Hyde Park, Sr.
He was runner-up at the county tournament and reached the state quarterfinals.
Jackson Weisbrot, Half Hollow Hills West, Sr.
Weisbrot led his team back to Suffolk team championship. He followed that by placing second in the county tournament and winning an epic three-and-a-half hour match in the first round of the state tournament.
Rajpal and Eli Grossman played doubles for the county tournament and won the whole thing. Then they went on a run to finish third in the state.

I have been creating stories since I first forayed into the world of writing at age of eight. As an avid reader growing up in a small town without much access to a library, before the birth of the Internet, I devoured my mother’s extensive stack of science fiction and romance novels to keep my literary thirst quenched. When I ran out of my mother’s books, I began creating my own, writing plays for my friends to act out.
A passionate interest in astronomy, anthropology and linguistics, coupled with this early background in science fiction and romance, led me to merge the two fields and create a series of interlinked stories built around a fictional planet’s culture and its interaction with ours. And thus, Azelle was born. One of the pleasures of my life is playing with what could be, what might be and what if. Imagination and Infinite Possibilities…what else is possible? Will you play along with me and open yourself to what could be? | 2019-04-26T07:38:07 | https://www.saraldaigle.com/about |
Brussels, 23 February 2010 - In a previously confidential legal opinion, the European Parliament’s Legal Service has declared fishing by European vessels in Western Sahara’s waters to be in violation of international law.
The new opinion was forwarded to the Parliament in July 2009, but finally made public today when tabled for debate in the Parliament’s Fisheries Committee.
The Parliamentary Legal Service also “recommend[ed] strongly” that the wishes and interests of the Western Sahara’s native Saharawi population should be discussed at the next annual meeting of the EU-Morocco Joint Fisheries Committee, but this recommendation was completely ignored by the European Commission, which failed to even place the issue on the agenda at the most recent meeting in early February 2010.
“The EU places respect for international law at the heart of its foreign policy, but has turned a blind eye in the case of Western Sahara”, said Portuguese MEP Miguel Portas. “The illegal and unethical EU fishing activities in Western Sahara’s waters are nothing short of theft, and constitute implicit support for what most countries worldwide regard as an illegal occupation by Morocco in Western Sahara", he said.
“The European Parliament cannot ignore the clear advice of its own Legal Service”, said Sara Eyckmans, International Coordinator of Western Sahara Resource Watch.” “The Parliament must require the European Commission to ensure that European vessels immediately cease fishing in Western Saharan waters, and to seek to amend the fisheries partnership agreement to comply with international law.”, she stated.
The illegality of the EU-Morocco fisheries agreement was recently confirmed by former UN Legal Adviser Hans Corell, whose 2002 legal opinion for the UN Security Council on Western Sahara’s natural resources has been purposefully misquoted by European Commission officials, including outgoing EU Fisheries Commissioner Joe Borg, in an effort to defend its illegal fishing.
Corell himself made clear in late 2008 that he found it “incomprehensible” and felt “embarrassed as a European” that the Commission would use his 2002 opinion to defend the EU-Morocco fisheries agreement, unless the Saharawi people had been consulted directly and had agreed to its terms.
529 civil society organisations and more than 11,000 people worldwide have so far called on the EU to stop its fisheries in Western Sahara by signing up on WSRW’s campaign homepage www.fishelsewhere.eu. The European Parliamentary Legal Service’s new opinion can be accessed via the same website. | 2019-04-20T01:20:22 | https://www.westelijkesahara.org/a110x1381 |

The Seydel Sailor Steel Tremolo is the first traditionally-shaped tremolo harmonica with stainless steel reeds. The Seydel Sailor Steel Tremolo is a traditionally built diatonic tremolo-harmonica has a divided plastic comb: four holes in a square correspond to one draw and one blow note.
If a single note is played two reeds that are tuned a little bit different start to operate together. As a result the floating tremolo sound is produced that has grown into a typical stylistic element of many different kinds of folk music on the harmonica.
The Seydel Sailor Steel Tremolo harmonica is well suited for playing melodies or chord accompaniment. If played with the “tongue blocking” technique both can be done simultaneously and then the full and rich sound of the Seydel Sailor Steel is reminiscent of a big styrian accordion.
The Seydel Sailor Steel Tremolo – ambitious players of many traditional musical styles (Shanty, Alpenländische Volksmusik, Irish Folk, Classical, etc.) will not want to miss out on this fantastic instrument.

The Oscar-nominated makeup team takes us behind the scenes of the D.C. Comics movie.
From left, from Warner Bros./Everett Collection, Warner Bros/DC Comics/Rex/Shutterstock, courtesy of Warner Bros.
In 2015, Warner Bros. hired makeup artist Alessandro Bertolazzi for the most intimidating challenge of his three-decade career: making over the Joker, a pop culture icon, for Suicide Squad. Granted, the supervillain (played this time by Jared Leto) did not get as much screen time as the film’s titular team. But as the most-famous character featured in Suicide Squad, the 67-year-old, green-haired villain, who has appeared in thousands of comic books and been famously portrayed onscreen by Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger, was the speculative fixation of many comic fans. (Bertolazzi was startled to discover that the Internet was already guessing how his Suicide Squad Joker would look before he started work on the film.) So, how did Bertolazzi prep for the much-anticipated makeover?
Bertolazzi gathered other inspirational materials, including everyday items—sawdust, wood, stone—photos, newspaper clippings, Internet images, and anything else that inspired him.
When it came time to put makeup brush to skin, Bertolazzi and the filmmakers made the decision to keep the Joker separate from the rest of the Suicide Squad cast by putting everyone in separate makeup trailers.
It was David Ayer’s idea to give the Joker a scar. Bertolazzi expanded on that idea by giving him seven.
Despite the intimidating challenge he faced, Bertolazzi was satisfied with how the studio trusted him to experiment and take the movie’s most prized character into his literal hands. | 2019-04-23T14:45:55 | https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/02/the-joker-suicide-squad-makeup |

“Barely There (Part I)” opened last weekend at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. It’s the first installment in a two-part show that investigates “immateriality, presence, absence and performance.” "Part I" focuses on the mind, specifically on subjects like loss, geographic/linguistic identity and the power of questions. ("Part II," opening in the fall, will concentrate on the body.) Featuring work by 10 artists and including material from the 21st century, as well as the late 1920s and ‘60s, it’s an engaging, challenging show that’s well worth your attention.
I found other pieces more resonant, like Pascale Marthine Tayou’s powerful "Jpegafrica/Africagift" (2006), a pile of crumpled paper flags of all the countries on the African continent, and Rivane and Sergio Neuenschwander’s 2002 video work, "Love Lettering." The video is shot inside a goldfish tank; many of the fish have small pieces of paper attached to their tails with words like “wish,” “hotel,” “eyes” and “you” printed on them. Turns out it’s a love letter, broken up and ultimately unreadable, except in kinetic, disconnected fragments.
For me, the most exciting and interesting piece was a made-for-TV work by the late, Detroit-born installation and performance artist James Lee Byars (who, I was thrilled to learn, will be the subject of a solo show at Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit in 2013). "World Question Center" is a weird, wonderful program that was broadcast live on primetime Belgian television in 1969. In it, Byars, surrounded by a ring of people wearing fascinating garments of his design, communicates by telephone with several dozen important thinkers of the age.

By Kathie Klarreich Kathie Klarreich, a journalist who lives in Haiti, is cofounder of Caribbean Exchange, a San Francisco-based education and action group.
HAITIAN President General Prosper Avril completed a year in office Sept. 17. He has managed to survive several coup attempts, a crippling economic decline, and an increase in the random violence that drains the country morally and materially. The same hope that sprang up in February 1986 when Jean Claude Duvalier fled the country reappeared when Mr. Avril took office. There was some general housecleaning, as low-ranking soldiers ousted superiors with Duvalierist ties. But Avril himself, with 30 years of service to the Duvalier regime, was suspect. People took a wait-and-see attitude.
Now even Avril's most vocal critics acknowledge certain improvements. Most recently, the president agreed to substantially cut official salaries, and halve his own, to help fight the country's huge deficit. But many promises have yet to be realized. The result is widespread discontent, increased repression, and political instability.
Already the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, Haiti's economic situation continues to deteriorate. Coffee, one of Haiti's main exports, can no longer compete on the world market. Currently, Haiti imports nearly twice as much as it exports in order to feed its people. The market is flooded with free or low-cost staple foods that have undercut an already unstable local market.
In the capital city, nightly murders, robberies, and rapes force people inside when the sun goes down. Both the elite bourgeois and the penniless beggar are victims of this rising insecurity. One facet of the situation is increased banditry, perhaps a desperate response to the decaying economy. Another is the insidious attempt to keep people from organizing for democratic reform. Most of the rural organizations that formed after Duvalier's departure have collapsed.
One significant difference in this current wave of violence is the difficulty of tracing its source. Though there are no fingerprints leading to the National Palace, official passivity and mock investigations suggest some sort of collusion, if not direct involvement.
Ironically, from the beginning Avril has expressed an interest in the transition to a civilian government. He is proud of the Provisional Electoral Council, which this month will announce the electoral calendar. While the government insists on the council's honest intentions and independence, Duvalierist sympathizers and death-squad members have been reported present at several council meetings. These thugs made it clear that, despite a constitutional provision prohibiting anyone linked to Duvalier from participating, they intend to run for office.
The US, meanwhile, continues to praise President Avril. The deputy assistant secretary of state for the Caribbean, Richard Melton, recently said the US fully supports the efforts of Avril to move forward on democratic, social, and economic reforms.
Free and fair elections are a precondition for resumption of US aid, which was cut off after an election-day massacre in November 1987. The US also demands reduced drug trafficking and improved human-rights conditions.
Encouraged by Haiti's cooperation in drug control, the US recently approved $300,000 to help in this effort. The money will be used to expand the government's ability to track down dealers. Critics, however, question how the money will be kept out of the pockets of government employees, who are themselves often part of the drug trafficking.
Human-rights violations are numerous as ever. Illegal arrests average one a day; arbitrary detentions and assassinations are common. In the countryside, the victims are usually members of peasant and church groups and labor unions, and those who participate in political demonstrations.
Whether as a result of politics or economics, more people than ever are fleeing the country by boat. In the first six months of this year, 20,530 Haitians on some 300 boats were stopped by the US Coast Guard.
There is little question that Haiti desperately needs economic assistance to get back on its feet. But if the US blindly doles out dollars it risks perpetuating a system that is doing nothing for its 6 million poor. Given the current situation, Haitians have little reason to feel optimistic that either their economic or political situation is likely to change in the near future. | 2019-04-22T23:07:57 | https://www.csmonitor.com/1989/1006/ekla.html |
• Christus Victor represented by Gregory A. Boyd. In Christus Victor the central feature of the atonement is Christ’s triumph over Satan, and the evil powers of the world, thereby setting humanity free from Satan’s clutches. This centers on “the truth that through this incarnation, life, death and resurrection of Christ, God defeated the devil” (pp. 12, 24).
• Penal substitution represented by Thomas R. Schreiner. Penal substitution is defined by Schreiner as: “The Father, because of His love for human beings, sent His Son (who offered himself willingly and gladly) to satisfy God’s justice, so that Christ took the place of sinners. The punishment and penalty we deserved was laid on Jesus Christ instead of us, so that in the cross both God’s holiness and love are manifested” (p. 67). The primary difference between Christus Victor and penal substitution is that in Christus Victor it is Satan who must be satisfied by the death of Christ. In penal substitution it is God (pp. 103, 115).
• Healing view represented by Bruce R. Reichenbach. Here Christ’s death provided the means whereby all things can ultimately be restored to its pre-fall condition (p. 120).
• Kaleidoscopic view represented by Joel B. Green. In this view God sent His Son for a kaleidoscope of purposes: to fulfill the Law, to call sinners to repentance, to bring a sword, to be a ransom, to proclaim the kingdom of God, to save the lost and so on (p. 164). Summarized by theological themes, Christ died for our justification, redemption and reconciliation, as a sacrifice and to triumph over evil (p. 166). Green believes the world needs to be reconciled to God, but God does not need to be reconciled to the world. In other words the atonement deals with expiation but not propitiation (see pp. 166, 173, 186).
The format of the volume is most helpful in introducing the main arguments and disagreements concerning particular views of the atonement. It is not the final word on the subject but is well worth reading by those desiring a beneficial overview of the atonement debates and its significance. | 2019-04-20T00:30:35 | https://tottministries.org/the-nature-of-the-atonement-four-views-edited-by-james-beilby-and-paul-r-eddy/ |

Even though this kitchen isn't classified as small, I thought it was good inspiration for kitchens that have islands.

Under today's system, insurance companies look at dozens of different factors to determine how much they will charge you for health care coverage. Your medical history, your family's medical history, where you live, how old you are, whether you are married, whether or not you are employed, what kind of job you have, whether you are rich or poor, how soon you are likely to have children -- these are some of the circumstances they consider when making judgements about what you will pay.
Today's health care system motivates insurance companies to weed out the sick and cover the healthy. Certain populations can only obtain coverage at high prices or can't get coverage at all.
Others pay artificially low prices only to find that their insurer drops them when they need health care the most. If you work for a small business or are self-employed, you may have faced the worst of these problems. Insurers may quote you different prices, and you never know what you might pay from one year to the next.
If you have been sick or injured, you could pay a lot for a "bare bones" benefits package. Or, if you are lucky, you may pay a small amount for a good benefits package. You could pay a lot because you have been labeled "high risk." Or, you could pay nothing if your employer pays 100% of your premium. You might not even know what you pay. And you can not be sure that what you pay today will be what you'll pay tomorrow.
Under the Health Security Act, your premiums will be predictable and easy to figure out. If you are a full-time employee in a business, you and your employer will only need to know whether you are buying a policy for a single person, a married couple, a single-parent family, or a two-parent family. Employers will all contribute for their workers, and their combined payments will cover 80% of the average-priced plans in that region. Individual contributions will make up the difference -- if you choose an average-priced plan, you will pay 20%. If you choose a plan that provides the same comprehensive benefits at a lower price, you will pay less. If your employer pays the entire cost of the premium, as many do today, you will pay nothing at all. If you choose a higher cost plan, you will pay more.
The following scenarios are used to show how much people will pay under reform. The individuals described are not real people, but their situations are illustrative of the impact of health reform. The national average premiums are used to represent the premiums in each alliance, although these amounts will vary by state and by region. These cases are based on average-priced plans, although consumers will be able to choose less expensive plans or more expensive plans.
The employer share is a fixed amount. Employers only need to know whether their employee is buying a single, couple, or family policy to know what they will pay.
For couples and families -- who often have two workers -- employers will pay the same amount per worker. This method will be clear and simple for employers and will prevent them from having to go through the complex process of coordinating policies with a spouse's employer or having to suddenly change contributions when there is a divorce or a spouse is laid off. There will be one employer price for family policies, regardless of whether both spouses work, or how many children they have. This will make things simpler for employers -- they won't have to coordinate with other companies where their employees' spouses work, or suddenly change contributions in the event of a spouse being laid-off or a couple divorcing. Alliances will calculate the per worker contribution based on the average number of workers in couples and families. For example, since the average family has 1.4 workers, an individual employer's contribution is less than 80% -- in fact only 57% of the family premium. When employer contributions are totaled they will add up to 80% of couples and family premiums in the alliance.
Mary Sampson manages a small law office in San Jose, California. She makes $35,000 a year. Her husband, a minister, earns $30,000 a year. Today, they get their coverage through Mary's employer, who pays half their premium. They pay $2,940 a year, 8% of her salary, for their health care premiums alone, not including co-payments and deductibles.
Assuming they choose an average-priced plan, the premium for Mary Sampson and her husband will be around $872 a year, or $73 a month. They could choose a higher cost plan, which would cost them more, or a lower-cost plan, which would cost them less.
Dennis and Barbara Rutherford, who live in Hannibal, Missouri have a combined income of $21,200. Dennis was laid off from his high paying job with a large manufacturing firm in late 1990. At that time, both Rutherfords lost their health care coverage. They have been turned down for other coverage because of pre-existing conditions -- Dennis' high blood pressure and Barbara's history of breast cancer. Since then, they have been unable to afford the $9,000 a year ($750 a month) premium offered by the only plan that will accept them.
If Dennis and Barbara enrolled in an average priced plan, they would pay 20% of the $3,865 annual premium for a couple -- $773 a year, or $64 a month. Under reform, insurers will no longer be allowed to use pre-existing conditions to bar the Rutherfords from coverage.
Barbara and Dennis were offered a plan costing $9,000 dollars, but were unable to afford it. Today they pay nothing and are uninsured.
Sara Bender, a 28-year-old broadcast journalist, lives in Columbus, Ohio, and makes $34,000 a year. Because she works for a firm which gets a lower cost premium for its healthy workers, she has been paying only $300 a year, or $25 a month for her health care coverage.
If Sara enrolled in an average cost plan she would pay 20% of the $1,932 annual premium for a single policy -- $386 a year, or $32 a month. Sara will pay more, but she will have the security of knowing that her coverage will always be there, and that her costs won't rise unexpectedly as she gets older.
Susan Addington is a single parent living in Virginia. She is self-employed with an income of $40,000 a year. Because her son has a serious chronic illness, she paid $3,000 in out-of-pocket costs and $5,000 in insurance premiums in just one year. Because she is self-employed, she was only able to deduct 25% of her $5,000 premium or $1,250 of these costs.
For the family share of her premium, for an average-priced plan, Susan will pay 20% of the $3,893 annual premium for a single parent family -- $779 a year. She will also pay the employer share for a single parent -- $2,479, for a total of $3,258-a-year or $272 a month. And she will be able to deduct 100% of the premium.
Michael and Elizabeth Sands work and live in Memphis, Tennessee, and together earn almost $90,000 a year. Elizabeth is a graphic artist, making $40,000. Although Elizabeth's firm offers her health insurance, the couple chooses to receive their coverage through the architectural firm where Michael works, because it provides a more generous, comprehensive benefits package. Today, the Sands pay $720 a year, or $60 a month, for this coverage. The total premium costs $4,400 a year, and the architecture firm pays the rest.
The Sands want to stay with their current plan. Under reform, this plan will cost less than it does today because it will no longer pay for the uncompensated care delivered to the uninsured, saving 10% of the current premium cost.
The average cost of a couple premium in the Sands' alliance is $3,865 but the Sands pick a plan that will cost $4,000. They will pay the difference between 80% of the average cost plan, which is $3092, and $4,000, or $908 a year, $75 a month.
Under reform, the Sands may pay their family share either by having it subtracted from his paycheck or from hers. For fifteen dollars more a month, the Sands will be getting the same high quality, comprehensive benefit package they do today, but with the assurance that they can never lose it.
Lars and Brenda Gustafson recently had a new baby, and Brenda resigned from her job shortly before the baby was born. Lars works for a messenger service in Minneapolis, Minnesota and takes home about $250 a week, or $13,000 a year. His employer does not offer him health insurance. As a result, he and his family have been uninsured for over two years and are struggling to pay the hospital bill from the birth of the baby.
Provided Lars and Brenda choose an average price plan, they will pay 20% of $4,360 or $872 for a two-parent family policy. However, because Lars is in a two-parent family with income less than $14,781 a year, Lars is eligible for a discount, reducing his premium to $384 a year.
Linda Bradley, from Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, works in a local print shop making $13,570 a year. Her husband Doug is a freelance photographer but has been unable to find work in the last year. Today, they pay $50 a month for a meager benefit package they obtain through Linda's employer. Her employer, a small business, contributes $600 a year, half the premium. The policy has a high deductible and provides limited benefits.
Because Linda and Doug select an average-priced plan and their combined income is below 150% of poverty, they are eligible for a discounted premium of $503 a year, or $42 a month, for comprehensive coverage.
Part-time workers (defined as working more than 10 but less than 30 hours a week), who have no non-wage income, will pay 20% of the premium in their area for their policy type, assuming they enroll in an average-priced plan. Their employers will pay a pro-rated amount of the employer share based on the number of hours worked.
Lee Harris, of Cleveland, Ohio, was laid off from her job after a big downsizing at her former company. Lee was unemployed for over a year and recently took a job delivering pizzas 20 hours a week. Lee makes $10 an hour and has no non-wage income. Lee can only afford a bare bones policy which costs her $840 a year. Her employer contributes nothing towards her coverage.
Assuming Lee picks an average-priced plan, she will pay 20% of the individual policy -- $386 a year, or $32 a month. Her employer will only pay two-thirds of the employer share for a single person -- $1,033 a year, or $86 a month. Since Lee has no non-wage income, federally-funded discounts will pay for one third of the employer premium.
Part-time workers with substantial non-wage income, for example those with most of their income from rental property, are liable for the remaining portion of the employer share.
Mary Wortheimer is a 45-year-old widow who receives $60,000 a year from her husband's estate. She works 10 hours a week at a local boutique. She makes an extra $6,000 a year at the shop for a total income of $66,000 a year. She buys a single policy for herself at a cost of $1,800 a year.
The boutique will pay one third of the employer premium -- $516 per year, or $43 per month. If she enrolls in an average-priced plan, Mary will pay 20% of the individual policy premium -- $386 a year or $86 a month in her area. Because Mary has substantial non-wage income and works one third of the week, Mary is also responsible for two thirds of $1,549, the employer share for a single policy -- $1,033 per year, or $86 per month. Mary's total health insurance premium will be approximately $1,419 per year, or $118 a month.
James Huggins, a self-employed family farmer in Kansas, makes $25,000 a year and has struggled to pay for health care coverage for himself, his wife and his 10-year-old son. James, like many rural residents, has had trouble getting and keeping insurance. And unlike a business, he is only able to deduct one fourth of the $4,000 he pays in premiums each year.
If James enrolls in an average cost plan, he will pay 20% of the $4,360 annual family premium or $872 a year. Like a business, James will also pay the employer share of his premium, which would normally be $2,479. However, that amount would exceed 7.9% of James' $25,000 income, the limit on what employers are required to pay. Instead James will pay 7.9% of $25,000 or $1,975 for his employer share. James will pay a total of $2,847 a year, or $237 a month. For the first time, James Huggins will be also be able to deduct from taxable income the full cost of his health care premiums.
Medicare beneficiaries will have the same guaranteed health security they have today, plus a new prescription drug benefit that will be integrated into Medicare Part B. Beneficiaries will continue to pay their Part B premium just as they do today. They will pay an additional $11-a-month for the new prescription drug benefit.
Claude and Gertrude Anderson are retired farmers living on a fixed income of about $40,000 a year in West Virginia. Today, they receive Medicare coverage and pay $36.60 for their Part B premium. They also buy a Medigap policy for $1,200 a year to help cover their prescription drug costs, co-payments and deductibles.
Under reform, Claude and Gertrude will be covered by a new prescription drug benefit through the Medicare program. They will pay $11-a-month for this new benefit. It will provide them with coverage for 80% of their monthly $300 prescription drug costs after they meet a $250 deductible. And they will not pay more than $1,000 a year in prescription drug costs.
The Andersons will continue to pay their Medicare Part B premium just as they do today. The $100-a-month the Andersons pay for their Medigap policy will either decline to account for the new Medicare drug coverage, or cover additional services.In addition, Medicare certified managed care plans, which frequently have lower deductibles and co-payments, will be more available as an option.
Working Medicare beneficiaries will join the alliances in their areas. While they are working, their employers will pay the employer share of their premium. Just like everyone else, they will pay 20% of the premium for their policy type if they enroll in an average-priced plan.
Larry Watson is a 68-year-old Medicare beneficiary who works in a law firm in Omaha, Nebraska. Today, he pays $36.60 a month for his Part B premium. His employer pays nothing towards his health care coverage.
Under reform, Larry will be able to get his Medicare coverage through his local health alliance and receive the guaranteed comprehensive package of benefits. His employer will pay the employer share of the single person premium, and Larry will pay 20% of the average premium in his alliance assuming to enrolls in an average- priced plan -- $386 a year, or $32 a month.
When Larry stops working, Medicare will pay for his benefits. Larry will pay the Part B premium and the $11-a-month for prescription drug coverage.
The federal and state governments will continue to make payments for health coverage for individuals eligible for Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). However, instead of paying doctors and hospitals directly, Medicaid will pay premiums to the alliance.
Pamela Johnson is a single, unemployed mother of two young children. Because she has only $300 in savings and is earning no income, she qualifies for cash assistance through the AFDC program, and she and her children receive their health insurance through the Medicaid program in their home state of Vermont. She has encountered numerous doctors who refuse to treat her because of low Medicaid reimbursement rates. In addition, Pamela would like to get off welfare and return to work, but she can't afford to lose her Medicaid coverage for herself and her two children.
Just like everyone else, Pamela and her children will be able to enroll in a health plan through the regional alliance. For the first time, Pamela will have a choice about which health plan to enroll in. She will receive the same comprehensive package of benefits as everyone else. Medicaid will cover the cost of the average family premium in the alliance. If Pamela chooses a plan with average or below-average costs, she will be responsible only for her co-payments. If she chooses a more expensive plan, she will pay the portion of her premium that is above the average in her alliance.
Pamela and her children will continue to be eligible for supplemental services, such as non-emergency transportation, currently offered by Medicaid programs. If they join an HMO she will pay a $2-per-visit rather than the standard $10-per-visit. For the first time, Pamela will have the freedom of knowing that she will have health care coverage, making it more feasible to go to work.
Alexandra Warren is single, and works as a waitress at George's Coffeehouse in rural California at minimum wage. Although her annual income is 115% of poverty, she is eligible for Medicaid because she has a chronic and costly illness which requires frequent hospitalization and which, when the costs are deducted from her income, makes her eligible for Medicaid in her state.
Under reform, Alexandra will no longer rely on Medicaid for her health benefits. She will select a health plan through the regional alliance, and share the costs of her coverage with her employer. Since Alexandra earns only $8,256 a year -- less than 150% of poverty -- she will be eligible for a discounted premium. Alexandra will pay $267 a year, or $22 a month if she chooses an average-cost plan.
Alec Moore is a 10-year-old child with severe cerebral palsy. He lives at home with his parents. Both of Alec's parents work outside the home, but because of his condition they cannot afford health insurance. Today, Alec receives Medicaid coverage because his state provides Medicaid coverage to "medically needy" individuals who, although they do not meet the normal income criteria for Medicaid, have medical expenses that are very hig.
Under reform, Alec will continue to receive all of the services he is eligible for today. His parents will obtain health insurance through their employers, and their policies will cover him for all services included in the comprehensive benefits package.
Both their employers and Alec's family will gain from health reform: Alec will have the guarantee of health security with no lifetime limits on coverage. His parents will know that they will never confront a situation in which they will be unable to obtain coverage because of his condition. Their employees will not be faced with the dilemma of unusually high premiums caused by having someone with high medical costs in their health insurance group.
Assuming they choose an average cost plan, Alec's parents will pay 20% of the premium for a family plan, $872 a year, or $73 a month.
Jason Loewith is a 19-year-old sophomore at Tulane University in New Orleans. His parents, who claim Jason as a dependent for tax purposes, live in Connecticut. He pays nothing for his health insurance because he is covered under his family's plan. Jason works for the University part-time, in the admissions office.
Because he is a dependent student, Jason's family will continue to pay for his coverage through their alliance in Connecticut. That alliance will transfer a portion of the family's premium to an alliance in Louisiana, which will provide Jason's coverage. Neither Jason nor his employer, the university, will contribute to his premium costs, because of his status as a student and a dependent.
Last year, Ann Tilson, a travel agent in a small company in Vidalia, Georgia, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. As a result, her employer's insurance company raised their premiums substantially. Ann later had to quit her job.
Today, Ann cannot get coverage from any other insurer for her pre-existing condition, so she elected, under the COBRA law, to remain insured by the same company that provided her coverage when she worked for the travel agency. Although she has insurance, she is responsible for paying the entire $625 monthly premium herself. Ann's parents help her with the money.
Because Ann is unemployed and has no non-wage income other than unemployment insurance, Ann will not have to pay for her health coverage until she finds a new job. Ann will receive the guaranteed benefits package and will continue to be able to see the same doctor she sees today.
When Ann finds work, her employer will be responsible for the employer contribution and she will be responsible for the employee contribution but, unlike today, those contributions will be both predictable and affordable, and she will not pay extra for her health coverage because she has multiple sclerosis.
Corinne Quigley is a 38 year old employee of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. She and her husband and two children live in Washington DC. Corrine obtains her health insurance through the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan (FEHBP), which combines all federal employees in the area into a large purchasing pool to offer a large number of insurance plans. All federal employees, including Corinne, have a broad range of plans to choose from, and the same premium applies to all federal employees of a given family size, regardless of age or health status. Corinne pays $1,000 a year or $83 a month.
Under reform, federal employees like Corinne will join the regional alliance with other residents in their area. Similar to the FEHBP, an alliance will offer an array of health plans, and the same premium will be charged, regardless of age or health status. All members will have many plans to choose from, and will be able to change plans once a year. Assuming the Quigleys enroll in an average-priced plan, they will pay 20% of the average family premium in their alliance -- $872 a year, or $73 a month.
Veterans with service-connected disabilities and low-income veterans will be eligible to receive the nationally guaranteed comprehensive benefit package through the Department of Veteran Affairs with no co-payments or deductibles. They will continue to be eligible for supplemental services offered by VA, such as treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, and certain dental services.
Al Green, a 52-year-old single veteran, lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan and works in a neighborhood store. Al lost a leg in the Vietnam War, and he receives his health care free-of-charge from the VA.
Al will have the opportunity to choose from among several health plans offered through his alliance. If Al opts to receive his health care through another health plan and chooses an average-cost plan, he will pay 20% of the individual policy -- $386 a year, or $32 a month. The store where he works will pay the employer share.
If he chooses the VA plan, Al's employer will pay the employer share of his premium, and the VA will pay his 20% share of the premium to the alliance.
Aleesha Maiuz is a factory worker in St. Louis, Missouri, making $36,000 a year. As a union member, she receives comprehensive benefits for which her employer pays the full amount. Her husband works at a local grocery store which does not offer health care coverage. He is covered under Aleesha's plan.
Under the Health Security Act, Aleesha's employer will still be able to provide 100% of health benefits. Her employer's contribution for a family premium will be sharply reduced because the cost of families will be spread across all employers, and her employer will no longer be indirectly paying the unpaid medical bills of the uninsured. Lower costs for the company may mean an increase in wages for Aleesha, and will mean that Aleesha's benefits are more likely to be preserved in the future.
Jonathan O'Hara teaches sixth grade in Des Moines, Iowa, making $28,000 a year. Under his union contract, he receives comprehensive benefits at no personal cost. His wife, Rebecca, is a nurse, and is covered under Jonathan's plan.
Under the Health Security Act, Jonathan and Rebecca will continue to receive the comprehensive package of benefits they receive today. They will stand a better chance for wage increases over time because the local school district, like other employers that have offered generous benefits, will see its premium costs go down. Under reform, it will no longer be indirectly paying for the unpaid medical bills of the uninsured.
In addition, the school district will see its costs go down because the hospital where Rebecca works will begin contributing to the cost of their family policy. Under reform, businesses that employ two-earner couples will no longer bear the cost of family coverage alone.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones, who have two children, own a flower shop which is incorporated. They have three employees -- Matt, Jane, and Scott. Matt is a 16-year-old high school student who comes to work part-time after school. Jane and Scott are both single and work at the shop full-time. Their average payroll, which includes the Jones's salary, is $17,000 per year per worker.
Last year, Mr. and Mrs. Jones could not afford to provide health insurance for their employees. However, they did independently purchase a policy to cover their family -- at a cost of $5,200.
Without any discounts, the flower shop will pay the employer share of $1,546 each for Scott and Jane for a single person policy, and $2,479 each for Mr. and Mrs. Jones for a two-parent policy -- a total of $8,050.
As a result of discounts offered to small business, the flower shop's contribution for each employee will be limited to 5.3% of the average payroll however. The flower shop will pay no more than $901-per-year or $75-a-month for each worker. For all four workers and their dependents, the cost will total no more than $3,604 per year.
Because Matt is covered under his parent's policy, the flower shop will not contribute towards his health insurance.
In addition to what they pay as owners of the shop, Mr. and Mrs. Jones will pay the employee share of their family policy -- $872 per year if they enroll in an average-priced plan. In total, Mr. and Mrs. Jones will have family coverage for $2,674 per year -- saving $2,525 from what they are currently paying.
Another way of looking at it is that for $4,476 -- $2,674 for the Jones' family coverage and $901 each for Jane and Scott - - they will provide coverage for themselves and their employees. | 2019-04-20T00:51:53 | https://clintonwhitehouse6.archives.gov/1993/10/1993-10-27-the-health-plan-appendix-ii-scenarios-under-reform.html |
In the seven years that I have run my private investigation business, I have come to the conclusion that I have the best job in the world. I am fairly certain that others might fight me for the claim to that title, but I would challenge (pretty much) anyone.
So why do I have the best job in the world?
That’s not to say that all my work matters. I have worked for plenty of well-to-do people who simply had the money to dig up some dirt on the opposition in a lawsuit. I have also worked on a number of white-collar criminal defense cases where the person I was working for was clearly on the wrong side of the law.
But that is coupled with helping find a biological father, helping a client avoid an embarrassing and costly mistake, or helping avert significant damage to a company’s reputation. I’m not always making a difference or doing work that matters, but when I do have that chance to alter the course of the matter at hand, it feels pretty good.
I have coached my children’s baseball and basketball teams, and when it comes to my family, I’ve been at nearly every sporting event, teacher conference and ballet recital – and have made it to nearly every single “family event.” It’s not all perfect – I was in Alaska for my son’s first T-ball game and I flew back on a red-eye from the Middle East one Christmas Eve, which did not make the family happy. I’ve also worked about 35 weekends each year and more hours overall than I like to admit.
But work is different when you can do it on your own schedule; I don’t think anyone should ever be tied to a desk from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I work on my own terms.
Looking at my calendar as of today, I have absolutely no work scheduled a week out from now. I am sure it will come, but I’ve got absolutely nothing on tap.
That might be terrifying to some, but it’s part of the thrill. Cases come and go at a fairly rapid pace. Each and every one of them is different, too, which keeps me on my toes. And it’s rare for a case to hang around for more than a few weeks, which means that even if it’s the most boring case in the world, it’s not going to be around all that long.
I’ve laid out my case; let’s see what you got!
I truly love everything you write. Not only are you a good writer (a sad rarity these days), but what you have to say always resonates with me. Your posts are informative, entertaining and thoughtful. Having you as a member makes the investigative field better.
Thanks Marri. I can’t thank you enough for the kind words; makes it all worth it.
Great read. This profession can be the best in the world, if you know what you are doing. If you don’t… then it could very well end up the worst in the world. If you have the privileged of working in this profession, don’t blow it. Be careful, be smart, be up front with expectations and always put in 100% effort.
The Adage which Mr.Willingham had above described, Has a deep and philosophical significance to it. which i follow 100% plus tax.!
When you have some spare time sir, i am wondering if you will in the Master class have mention of process server(s) etc.?
Its never really work when you truly love what you do!
Over 10 years and I can honestly say I’ve never started my day thinking,”Oh no, I’ve x, y, and z to do today”, mainly because, as you explain, you get to pick the work you want (within reason) and rarely is it ever the same, or routine.
I would agree that a private investigator/entrepreneur is an exciting and deeply rewarding career. Yet the average PI is part-time and makes only $22,000 year. There is a long sales cycle involved and the business may take five years to really blossom. Most don’t make it that far. Be aware of the start-up issues, have reserve capital, and be persistent. If you make it, you will be very, very successful. There are only a handful of PIs this country that have gotten to this level. You can be one, too, if you want it bad enough and have the high degree of analytical ability and people skills required!
You Have to Be the Best Brian~ No One but You can fill Your Shoes, Experience , Skills, Knowledge and Talent!! Success is Earned…Respect is Earned!! We should all follow your guidelines!! How Awesome…where you stated..”But work is different when you can do it on your own schedule; I don’t think anyone should ever be tied to a desk from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I work on my own terms. Lastly, I have nobody else to blame (or thank) but myself, which you can pretty much never say when you’re working “in corporate America.”” !! AWESOME!! You are one of a Kind Brian!! Steadfast and Strong in Ethics and Work!!
Thanks for the comment Christine! | 2019-04-21T05:11:58 | https://diligentiagroup.com/latest-news/best-job-in-the-world/ |
1. What Should I do Inside Machu Picchu?
What Should I do Inside Machu Picchu?
There are some things you should know before going to Machu Picchu. There’s many highlights that you want to check out. If you’re not prepared ahead of time, you aren’t going to be looking for these scenes when you are there. Below are every sight and monument you need to be on the watch for as you explore the ruins all sorted in alphabetical order.
There are two major centers in Machu Picchu, the residential section and the industrial section. The Central Plaza separates the two major sectors in Machu Picchu. Typically this is where you will see the llamas or alpacas grazing. Visitors are not allowed on the Central Plaza, but you are allowed to snap a great picture.
As previously stated, there is an extensive network of channels and conduits running through the Machu Picchu grounds. As a result, there are fountains all over the grounds which drain out into various baths. Be sure to be on the lookout for the order to the path they take.
Still unknown why the stone was used, there are many theories out there. One of them is that it was a sacrificial altar. Another is that the stone was where the Inca nobility was mummified. There have been many human remains found on the site. This stone sits right next to the Watchman’s Hut in the agricultural district. So if you are trekking either Machu Picchu Mountain or Huayna Picchu be sure to be on the lookout for this stone. This is also a high vantage point to view the rest of the Machu Picchu complex.
The House of High Priest is the only building still standing in Machu Picchu the has four walls still. It is often called Nusta’s Bedroom and is attached to the Temple of the Sun. It’s located within the Sacred Plaza which is formed by the Temple of the Three Windows, Principal Temple and the House of the High Priest. Each of these buildings is considered some of the best in the citadel.
The House of the Ornaments is a building that was used to store ornaments. It is considered the most beautiful building in all of the Machu Picchu complex. It’s flanked by two huge rocks carefully carved in 30-degree angles.
The Inca Drawbridge used to be a tourist entrance into Machu Picchu; however, it was closed due to safety reasons after a tourist fell to his death. It is nothing more than a couple of wooden planks with a 500-foot dropoff to the side. It was initially a secret entrance for the Inca army. They would cross logs, but if invaders attempted to gain entry, the Inca would remove the logs making the entrance to Machu Picchu impossible.
The Intihuatana Stone is likely the most critical location within the ruins of Machu Picchu. The name Intihuatana is translated to “hitching post of the sun” as it was believed to hold the sun in place as it travels across the sky. It was used as a sundial to predict the solstice. The stone shows absolutely no shadow during the solstice. During the winter solstice, at sunrise, the sun shines directly through the rock creating a triangle of light illuminating two circles on the ground. Additionally, each of the four corners of the stone point to each of the cardinal directions. Furthermore, it’s shaped to mimic Huayna Picchu.
The Industrial section is the location where most of the inhabitants of Machu Picchu would have lived. It is the most extensive section of Machu Picchu.
The Principal Temple, also known as the Main Temple, is a large building located within the Sacred Plaza across from the Temple of the Three Windows. It has three sides to it, and the base is comprised of huge stones. It’s thought that grand ceremonies took place here due to the central nature of its position.
The Royal Tomb is at the center of Machu Picchu. It was likely the location where they mummified the highest in nobility. The walls are made up of finely carved stone. The main feature of the tomb is a large altar that has two levels and a stone staircase carved into the rock. When Hiram Bingham discovered the Machu Picchu Incan ruins in 1911, he stated that the Royal Tomb was the best wall in the entirety of all of America.
The Sacred Rock in the lower portion of the urban sector of Machu Picchu. It’s thought that the rock was a location of meditation, poetry, or music recitals. Most say that the Sacred Rock is in the shape of Putucusi which is the mountain behind it. If you are hiking up Huayna Picchu, this will be close to the starting point for your hike.
If you are arriving at Machu Picchu via the Inca Trail, the Sun Gate is where people are entering get their first view of Machu Picchu in the morning. It is one of the most beautiful views of Machu Picchu in the entire historical site. It’s thought that the Sun Gate was the main entrance into and out of Machu Picchu for the Incas. Additionally, it was a highly guarded entrance to Machu Picchu, and only select visitors would be allowed past the gate.
The Temple of the Condor gets its name due to the carving on the front of the building, which is in the shape of a large bird. The cave inside the temple was used for rituals, and the head of the condor served as an altar.
The Temple of the Sun is located next to the Royal Palace and the main fountain at the center of the Urban Center. The Temple of the Sun is thought to have been an essential astronomical site for the Inca people. The only high priest was allowed inside the Temple of the Sun. The semi-circular is called the Torreón which means tower. A circular wall is extremely rare for the Inca culture. Each of the small windows on the eastern side of the temple is coordinated with the summer solstice (June 21) and winter solstice (December 22). Unfortunately, no one is allowed inside the Temple of the Sun as it is not stable.
Part of the Sacred Plaza the Temple of the Three Windows and located in the royal sector. Interestingly enough, the temple has inscriptions carved into its wall by Agustín Lizárraga dating to 1902. As you recall, we discussed that many had been to Machu Picchu before Hiram Bingham in 1911. The main wall has three windows carved out that overlook the Machu Picchu complex and are aligned east for the sunrise. There are many theories as to the meaning of the three windows. These include representing the underworld, heaven, and Earth. The next includes serving the place where the Incas originated. Finally, another theory is that the first Inca ruler Manco Capac ordered the temple’s creation and the windows represented the three windows inside his parent’s house.
Be sure to be on the lookout throughout the complex for all the terracing. The Inca people used terracing all over their empire for farming purposes.
If you are doing either the Machu Picchu Mountain hike or hiking up Huayna Picchu’s Stairs of Death, then you will be making your way past the Watchman’s Hut. Additionally, this is an excellent place to get a great view of Machu Picchu. This is near the location where most tourists snap the classic Machu Picchu picture. The Watchman’s Hut or The Guardhouse was the site where the army would watch over Machu Picchu.
There you have it, a complete list of things to see in Machu Picchu. Everything that you need to be looking for when you are visiting Machu Picchu complete with all the pictures.
If you’re heading to Machu Picchu, let us know what you are most looking forward to in the comments. | 2019-04-22T06:48:34 | https://www.cachilife.com/things-to-do-in-machu-picchu-a-visual-guide/ |
The Undead Goats have been training for the last two months on their bikes and are now making a 30-mile biking trek to Samuel P. Taylor park in Marin to camp out for the night and test their skills on the road. They headed out this morning in a surprise spring downpour, but were smiling all the way!
Melissa will be driving the van packed with gear up to Samuel P. Taylor.
Headed out the front door.
A last minute pep-talk from Nora, with encouragement to stay together on the roads and work together to get to their destination.
The line-up, and a final farewell.
We can report at this time that they made it, but more details from the road will come tomorrow when they get back!
Meanwhile at the school, prep continued for Wednesday’s big show! | 2019-04-20T01:01:36 | http://www.sfbrightworks.org/2012/06/and-theyre-off/ |
South African labour laws are renowned as being progressive and protective of employees' rights. And labour dispute resolution procedures are intentionally designed to provide expeditious and cost effective dispute resolutions fora within which issues can be resolved without resorting to overly formal, costly or time consuming processes.
However, what is not appreciated is that the structure of the rights and duties and processes which are available to both parties also takes into account fairness towards the employer. It would be incorrect to assume that South African labour laws are one-sidedly pro-employee, or that the employer has no expectation to also be treated fairly.
This is especially on the case of employees who are less likely, due to their skills, experience, length of professional service or qualification, to need the aid of the courts.
This approach has been demonstrated and followed by the labour courts from as early as 2001 in the case of Building Bargaining Council (Southern & Eastern Cape) v Melmons Cabinets CC & another (2001) 22 ILJ 120 (LC), in which the court found that the employer had tried to perpetrate a "cruel hoax" on a vulnerable worker who performed cabinet making duties, by having him sign an independent contractor agreement which stripped him of all of its employment rights.
On the other hand, earlier in the case of CMS Support Services v Briggs, the Labour Appeal Court in 1997 had found that Briggs, who had elected to be a consultant for tax purposes, and had made an informed decision about her rights and duties as an employee or a consultant, had no right to claim employment protections.
In the recent case of Kabe v Nedbank Ltd (2018) 39 ILJ 1760 (LC), the Labour Court also demonstrated that the scales are balanced, and that there are circumstances in which an employer is also entitled to fairness in the relationship, and in any disputes that may arise.
In this case, Kabe was dismissed for poor work performance, but referred a dispute claiming that she had been not merely unfairly, but automatically unfairly dismissed. Kabe was herself a qualified lawyer, and had been advised by her legal team that such a referral was not competent in the circumstances. Kabe subsequently fired her legal team and amended her statement of claim to reflect an alleged automatically unfair dismissal. Since Kabe had alleged the reason for dismissal as automatically unfair, she had to raise a credible possibility that her dismissal fell within the scope of s 187(1)(h) or (d) of the Labour Relations Act, which provides for protection from dismissal in the case of an employee being dismissed for having taken action, or indicating an intention to take action, against the employer by exercising any right conferred by the LRA or participating in any proceedings in terms of the LRA (in this case that she referred a dispute of unfair labour practice) or due to her having made a protected disclosure.
The court was satisfied that the employee had not produced any evidence supporting either of these claims. In addition, the court took into account that Nedbank had offered a generous settlement to her, which she had refused.
In light of the above facts, the Labour Court granted Nedbank absolution from the instance, which is an extreme form of dismissal of the dispute, which doesn’t require the employer to defend the allegations further, and instead assesses that the employee has not formed even the basis of a possible claim. In addition, due to the Labour Court taking into account Kabe's position, it determined that her claim was frivolous, and awarded Nedbank its legal costs.
The court also considered the interests of justice in general and realising that the courts should be reserved for persons with actual claims, determined that "allowing parties to bring frivolous cases does not only affect the opposing party, but also affects the administration of justice and the business of the court and judges."
The above case demonstrates that the labour courts and other dispute fora, including the CCMA, have to take fairness towards the employer into account, and that labour rights are not exclusively for the benefit employees.
Employees of a sufficiently executive, senior or professional status should be aware of this judgement, and the approach of the court, and ensure that they receive and follow expert legal guidance in assessing and pursuing any potential legal claims they may have that flow from the employment relationship. | 2019-04-22T23:34:56 | https://www.polity.org.za/article/incorrect-to-assume-that-sa-labour-laws-are-one-sided-towards-employee-2018-08-30 |

It is said that each grin decreases stress and adds more years to one’s life. Numerous a period, individuals have thought little of the energy of a grin. It can light up your face quickly. A grin can lift your soul easily. It will change your generally pitiful mode into a cheerful one out of a snap. Grins can be considered as speculations; the more grins you gather the better and more joyful you feel.
It is said that baby grin roughly 400 times in a day and grown-ups grin for a simple 20 times in a day. We have a tendency to end up noticeably excessively genuine about existence as we grow up and lose the capacity to grin at the straightforward things in life.
Possibly in the event that we grinned as frequently as infants do, we would be similarly as charming, we would look so pure like children and we would improve this world a place to live in. We have to get to that place where we turn out to be more perky and entertaining simply like infants. We should quit being constantly genuine about existence, we should quit stressing, we should quit being restless and we certainly need to quit endeavoring to make sense of life.
As a rule, we concentrate on material things and accomplishments. This takes away our opportunity, bliss and the gratefulness for life in its straightforwardness. We should concentrate more on the otherworldly and enthusiastic parts of our lives. These bring euphoria, satisfaction, and bliss.
Did you additionally realize that grinning at others, even outsiders, can light up their day. Grinning is an act of affection and many individuals out there should be guaranteed that somebody who might be listening administers to them. It’s one of the inestimable endowments that you can ever provide for anybody.

BC Khimki welcome Fenerbahce at their Arena Mytishchi to play their seventeen matchof the Euroleague. The Turks lead the European caravan. Will they add another win to their record?
This season BC Khimki demonstrate a substantial underperformance in the Euroleague. The quarterfinalist of the previous season possesses the twelfth place after sixteen games. The Russian have six wins and ten losses. Before the New Year they have been beaten by Baskonia at home 77:85. This calendar year Giorgios Bartzokas’ guys have crushed Gran Canaria on the Canary Isles even without Alexey Shved (99:70). Dee Bost was the best from the Russian side. He has scored twenty points within twenty-four minutes.
Fenerbahce are absolutely the best after sixteen rounds. The former Euroleague’s champion won fifteen games and lost just once in the Istanbul derby against Anadolu Efes. The Turks are unbeaten within a long period. Before the New Year they took a narrow 65:63 victory over Real Madrid thanks to the Luigi Datome’s successful performance just before the final whistle. Recently Jeljko Obradovic’s men beat Baskonia at home (96:87) with Nicolo Melli’s twenty points.
This season Fenerbahce won over BC Khimki in the first round. The Russians could not beat the Turks in their last two home H2H meetings.
We believe BC Khimki cannot repeat their last successful playing. Fenerbahce have not any competitors in the current Euroleague. We expect the Turks will win again.

When I first ventured into the egg-less baking, my mom persuaded me to try bananas as a foolproof egg substitute. At that point, I was well focussed on attempting at other substitutes, especially the ones that could pair well with varied flavors. Baking with bananas did not strike my chord much. That's because bananas have a characteristic flavor of their own that can disguise other flavors in my bakes. So I refrained using them for long.
Not that I had given up baking with eggs completely, but I was immensely happy with the results I achieved with other alternatives and that deterred me from using eggs for quite sometime.
Bananas are so common at our place that there's virtually not a single day when we go without them. This time however we had a few excess of them and over a few days, a couple of bananas had been glaring at me on the table top with their pale looks. They seemed less consumable as is and I had to either toss them to the waste bin or make something out of them. Though the tossing rarely happens. After using a pair of them in rasayana and another pair in sheera for our breakfast, I was left with another 2 of them. My husband pointed me out that it's time I should bake a Banana Bread. I was intimidated by that thought as it was the best I could do with my dying fruits.
I baked a banana bread once earlier, just a few weeks ago as an experimental effort. Back then, they turned out quite fudge-y rather than 'bread like'. But that did not ruin it's taste and flavor. It was loved by everyone. I modified my recipe this time and the bread actually turned out amazingly good. It had a perfect texture, had baked beautifully and the flavors of dark chocolate chips mingled gorgeously well with the bananas.
Blend milk or soy milk with bananas. Add the oil. Add in the flour, the sugar, the baking powder and soda and mix with a wooden spoon. Finally introduce the chocolate chips.
Transfer to a clean bread tin. Bake on 180 deg C for 40-45 mins, till the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool down on a rack, cut into slices and serve.
I cross my heart to say, this is by far the easiest and the most loved bread I have attempted. I mean, the ingredients are simple, there is no fuss with the recipe, it was an absolute solace to bake these. I love my bakes warm and these were no exceptions. As they baked and I took them out of the oven, I had little patience to wait for them to cool. In fact what you see here was cut warm.
The banana flavors were prominent on first of the bake. Surprisingly, they subsided and they could hardly be noticed the next day. I love my cakes when they have the moist crumb and I can tell you, these were not anything less than perfect!
Great looking Bread, chocolate just melted looks delicious.
Nice banana bread Mallika. i haven't tried with chocolate chips. Looks really good.

Hi Dear, i am new in baking can u tell me why my bread base and top is always so crusty and hard, means we can only eat them warm,i love to eat them that way, but if i want to keep them, after cooling they becom rock hard, any answers. please help me out.
Yes you can, it should work till you puree the fruit and does not have too much of runny water content in it. If it's runny then, you may have to adjust the quantity of milk to be added. Hope that helps.
Love your recipe, been cooking by your recipe for years now. It taste too good. Thank you for sharing it with us. | 2019-04-24T08:12:27 | https://www.vegbowl.in/2010/06/choco-chip-banana-bread.html |
“I’m sure I didn’t win this photo contest. I’ll just stop in to check as a formality,” I told myself as I pulled into the parking lot.
I was a college student, fresh out of one of my first photography classes. Just for fun, I entered one of my photos into a local contest. It was an image I took of a New Orleans sunset on Lake Pontchartrain. Secretly, I really dug the photo, but I wasn’t sure what to expect from the camera store that hosted the competition.
From beginner to professional photographers, the lure of a contest can be too tempting to resist. Winning a photo contest can be great as a validation of your skills, an excellent learning experience, and an incredible ego boost.
If you are considering entering a photo contest, here are some questions you should answer before shipping your entry.
Do you know the rules? For a contest organizer overwhelmed by entries, this is the easiest way to start cutting down the number of photos to review. If the rules say submit an 8x10, the first thing they will likely do is toss out all the non 8x10 photos without even looking at them.
Did you follow the theme? Along the same vein as following the rules is staying within the theme. Don’t bother entering that great Fiji sunset photo in a Cherry Blossom contest. No one will even look at it.
What criteria will the judges use? Some photo contests are judged based on the quality of the photo, others are popularity contests. How will you win?
Who are the judges? It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the bio and portfolio of the contest judges. I like knowing what they think is good. Of course they are likely to recognize quality in genre outside of their expertise, but it can’t hurt to give them something familiar to consider.
What do the past winning entries look like? I’d scan the past winners for any patterns or clues to what typically makes the cut. Past performance isn’t always a guarantee of future results, but it is a heck of a hint.
What does the organizer really want? Who is sponsoring the contest? What business are they in, and what might they really want from this contest? For instance, if a contest is hosted by your city’s travel bureau, you can infer that they are looking for images to showcase the city. Photographing in a travel magazine style might be a good strategy.
How much ownership will they take? Always be very clear how much control of your image you are willing to relinquish. Some contests will ask you to wave all ownership and rights to your image completely. This will allow them to use your photo in their own advertising or any other way they choose. If you are competing for exposure in a national publication, you might be willing to sign off on that approach. Some companies or ad agencies hold contests to get photography without having to pay fair market value. Are you okay with that? Make an informed decision.
What are the benefits of winning? Some contests are worth it for the chance to win money or camera gear. Some are worth it for the prestige or exposure. I have a friend who enters every contest she can because she just wants to have a long list of awards on her bio. What’s your motivation?
What are the costs? You can expect to pay a nominal fee to help the sponsors administer the contest. I’d be wary of exorbitant entry fees, especially from a sponsor with a track record you can’t verify.
Will you receive any feedback? For many photographers, good feedback from the judges is almost worth the price of admission. For me, nothing is more frustrating than getting a thumbs up or thumbs down without any further info on why. Of course, not all contests can respond with this level of detail to each entry. If you are entering contests to help learn and improve, it might be a good idea to focus on the ones that provide you more feedback.
Will you need model releases? Some contests will insist you provide model releases for any recognizable person in your photo. This is your first clue that they intend to use your photo commercially -- meaning, expect a winning photo to make it into the sponsor’s marketing and advertising. Even if the contest doesn’t require a release, you might still consider it. If an opportunity arises to license your photo, at least you will be prepared.
Is your subject obvious and in pin sharp focus? This is low hanging fruit for judges looking for reasons to discard entries. Make sure your subject is unambiguously clear to the viewer. Your judge is not going to work very hard to figure it out.
Once your subject is clear, the judge will then want to know if it is sharp. Pay attention to camera shake or an auto focus that missed your focal point.
Did you capture perfect exposure? The basics matter more than ever. You’d be surprised how many contests I’ve judged where the photographer didn’t take the time to get the basics right. It’s hard to win when you haven’t crossed that threshold.
Did you try a creative approach to the photo? This is a good time to let your creativity shine. You have to expect that judges will see plenty of photos taken from eye level or with no creative composition or storytelling. You are looking for an angle or an approach that will make your image stand out in a sea of sameness.
Did you name and describe your photo? This is a nice touch for me. A name and title completes a professional presentation of a photo.
Did you get feedback from peers or mentors? After you have done all your own work in producing and selecting your best, get some feedback from other photographers you respect. Don’t just show them a photo and ask “do you like this or not?” I’d want honest feedback on the best photo and qualitative feedback on the strengths and weaknesses.
Start by showing your three favorites and ask them to choose the best one. In many cases, you will begin to see some trends. When you have a clear winner, ask for feedback on three things that work and three things that can be improved. Push for specifics rather than generalities.
Enter early. In the off chance judges begin looking at photos as they come in, you want to give yourself every opportunity to get careful consideration. Ideally you would expect them to look at all photos at the same time, but you can’t always count on that.
My first experience with a photo contest was a good one. The camera store selected my sunset as one of the winners and displayed it in their window for a month. Talk about an ego trip. That was really all I wanted.
Nobody wins every photo contest, however and neither have I. But throughout the wins, losses and learning opportunities, I’ve found that the clearer we are on the answers to these 17 questions, the better our chances of coming out on top. | 2019-04-20T06:34:26 | https://www.shutterbuglife.com/blog/home/photocontests |

The Geneva School of Economics and Management (GSEM) was the result of the merger between the departments of Economics and Hautes Études Commerciales (HEC Genève) of the University of Geneva with a history spanning over more than 100 years. The merger of the two departments led to the strengthening of our study programs, executive education programs, and research activities in the fields of economics, management, finance, statistics and information systems.
Our location in Geneva – a region that is home to many international organizations, non-profit organizations, multinational corporations, and financial institutions—supports our strategic positioning in the areas of global governance, sustainability, and business analytics. Our strength lies in the strong ties between these Geneva institutions and the school’s faculty members. Combined with a strong multidisciplinary approach we have become leaders in these three strategic areas.
Supported by a total staff of about 200 dedicated individuals, we use this ‘Geneva Advantage’ to benefit students, executives and their organizations, and society at large. We offer the more than 2,000 highly diverse students currently enrolled in our Bachelor, Master, Ph.D., (Executive) MBA, and other degree programs, a state-of-the-art education. Following our mission to educate responsible leaders for a diverse and changing society, our study programs and research activities are continuously improved through systematic quality development measures and external accreditations processes.
We invite you to experience our school’s Geneva Advantage by enrolling in one of our programs, or collaborating with us on one of our research projects.
The Geneva School of Economics and Management’s Strategy 2025 centers on what we call “the Geneva Advantage” – our School’s focus on interdisciplinary areas in which our strengths match the unique opportunities that Geneva offers.
We educate responsible leaders for a diverse and changing society.
We create and disseminate evidence-based knowledge that makes a difference in the way organizations are sustainably led.
We collaborate with the private and public sectors through research and executive education.
As the University of Geneva’s School of Economics and Management, we aspire to be a research and education leader in analytics, governance, and sustainability – areas in which Geneva is uniquely positioned.
Business analytics, big data, digitization, and quantitative analyses are some of our School’s key strengths. Geneva is a global financial center and the headquarters of many consumer and luxury goods companies that need to cope with their digital transformation. The GSEM is uniquely positioned to assist them with this challenge.
Our School has developed a key strength in the economics and management of complex corporations, institutions, and markets with an important global role. The GSEM is uniquely positioned to provide this expertise to the many international organizations and multinational corporations in Geneva.
Sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and public-private partnerships have traditionally been some of the key strengths of our School, which started as a social sciences faculty. Since Geneva is home to many international organizations and NGOs addressing and/or facing sustainability-related issues, the GSEM is uniquely positioned to support them.
We care about rigor, meaning that all our activities are completed as rigorously as possible. In our activities, we strive for excellence and continuous improvement.
We focus on relevance, which is a guiding principle for all our activities. The issues we address matter for organizations and society.
We act responsibly in all our activities. We consider the consequences of our actions for multiple stakeholders, and also encourage such behavior in others.
The Geneva School of Economics and Management is nationally and internationally recognized and accredited for the quality of its study programs, executive education, research, and support activities.
As a School of the University of Geneva, the GSEM is included in the quality assurance system by the Swiss Agency of Accreditation and Quality Assurance (AAQ). The AAQ regularly audits all Swiss universities.
The GSEM is a member of The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). AACSB provides quality assurance, business education intelligence, and professional development services to more than 1,600 member organizations and nearly 800 accredited business schools worldwide.
The Association of MBAs (AMBA) has accredited the Executive MBA Program and the International Organizations MBA since 2006, which reflects the quality of our study programs and executive education.
The GSEM is a member of the European Foundation of Management Development (EFMD). The EFMD awards the prestigious EQUIS accreditation.
The GSEM has been an Advanced Signatory of the Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME) since 2017. The PRME is a United Nations-supported initiative founded in 2007 as a platform to raise the profile of sustainability in schools around the world, and to equip today's business students with the understanding and ability to deliver change tomorrow.
The Geneva School of Economics and Management (GSEM) is one of nine schools of the University of Geneva, which Jean Calvin founded in 1559. Called the Académie de Genève, the institution was originally conceived as a theological and humanist seminary, the guardian of the Reform doctrine. During the Enlightenment, distinguished scholars found inspiration here and new disciplines, such as physical and natural sciences, law, and philosophy, were introduced. The Academy shed its ecclesiastical vocation during 19th century’s political and social upheavals and, following the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine in 1873, became a university.
In 1914, the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences (SES) was founded. Over the years, the Faculty became one of the largest schools of the University of Geneva and included seven departments: Economics, Econometrics, Business Administration (Hautes Études Commerciales [HEC] Genève), Geography, Political Sciences, International Relations, and Sociology). In 1999, the new Uni Mail building in the heart of the City of Geneva was completed and opened its doors. It has hosted the SES Faculty and the GSEM ever since.
In 2014, the University of Geneva decided to strengthen its competencies in economics and management by merging the Economic Sciences and Business Administration (HEC) departments of the SES Faculty to create a new autonomous school - the Geneva School of Economics and Management (GSEM). This initiative aimed to strengthen the City and Canton of Geneva's economics and management education, as well as research.
Since then, the GSEM has grown substantially and recruited several new professors who combine cutting-edge research with excellence in teaching to further improve the quality of the GSEM’s study programs. In 2015, the Bachelor in Economics and Management program was reformed to meet the demand for a high-quality, bi-lingual undergraduate education. The GSEM also developed its Master programs further, offering both consecutive (pre-experience) and professional (post-experience) graduate programs.
Our Executive MBA provides executives with a first-class general management education without interrupting their careers. The program is designed to balance theory and practical application and combines classroom learning with interactive personal development. Our experienced faculty is keenly aware of the need for today’s managers and business leaders to develop and implement effective operational solutions, while simultaneously ensuring the strategic renewal of their organizations. The program goes beyond the basics of business and prepares participants for senior management challenges and responsibilities. | 2019-04-22T16:17:22 | https://www.mbastudies.ng/universities/Switzerland/GENEVASCHOOLOFEM/ |
We were all babies once. Now we’re all old babies. And chances are you love nothing more than kissing and dancing with other old babies. You want to grow even older with an old baby, to hold the old baby’s hand and tell the old baby you love it. You even want to make new babies with old babies. There’s no shame in loving an old baby. It’s how we are all programmed, after all.
Here at PCGamesN we get a lot of requests for list features, but far and away the question we are most often asked is: what are the eight best babies in games? Proper babies, I mean. New babies.Fresh babies.
Well I’ve compiled a list of the best babies in games, which should answer that question once and for all.
Notable for its inclusion in this list in that you never actually see the baby in question, Ah Diddums has you controlling a teddy bear as it attempts to extricate itself from a toybox in order to comfort its owner: a crying off-screen baby.
Rival toys repeatedly thwart your attempts at escape however, as silencing the mewling babe would cause the child’s mother to turn off the lights and bring their enchanted playtime to an end. They wish to play forever and will stop at nothing, not even your murder, to do so.
If you can manage to stack bricks to form an exit to the toybox, you’ll find that you were trapped in the deepest of 99 nested toyboxes all along. A horror crueller than the harshly digitised (and constant) screams of the irritated wean that play throughout the entire game.
Best baby in games? Pfft, hardly! Read on.
Babies in The Sims can be summoned into being with a single mouse click, at which point they’ll magically appear in a crib in an explosion of daisies.
This roughly accurate depiction of childbirth (in reality the explosion can be of any variety of flower, usually chrysanthemums, depending on the woman) results in a static and barely interactive infant that must be cooed at and fed at regular intervals during its 72 hour babyhood. After this time elapses, the baby will spring forth from its cot as a full-grown child. Result.
The Sims’ baby is technically a piece of in-game furniture. It has fewer available interactions than, say, a fridge. Such uncanny realism in videogame babies is rare and not to be sniffed at.
A huge baby plays the part of the final boss in Valve’s classic first-person shooter, facing off with you in the alternate dimension of Xen. This huge baby is protected by an energy shield powered by orbiting crystals which must be destroyed to render the massive baby vulnerable to your attacks.
But watch out! This giant baby is capable of launching a barrage of electrifying blue orbs, as well as slower moving green portals that will zap you to another region of Xen.
This grotesque and oversized baby is unlike any other you’ve ever encountered, but just like a real baby it has a weak spot on the top of its head.
Here we have another constantly crying baby, à la Ah Diddums, only this time the harrowing, inescapable wails of an infant are chasing you through a conceptually radical, yet technically frustrating nightmare sequence.
Max must traverse a series of invisible platforms by following a bloody trail, while being subjected to a horrific soundscape of howling screams emanating from the very darkest parts of the man’s guilty conscience.
This one is actually a little bit horrifying, comprising a significant part one of most traumatic levels ever seen in games. Sorry. I probably should’ve put the scary flying babies from Doom 3 in here instead.
Well now that I’m thinking about the scary flying babies from Doom 3, I might as well include them in the list too.
Somehow this scary flying baby is less controversial than the Max Payne baby earlier in the list. Funny how babies work, isn’t it?
This awesome baby can jump into the body of a rat and make it scurry through a hole to pull a switch, unlike all of the boring babies that you or I have to deal with constantly.
Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic RPG allowed you to embody Irish hearththrob Liam Neeson’s actual human baby, following him around and trying to win his fatherly affections with on-demand gurgling.
In Fallout 3, the star of Taken and Taken 2: Ticket To Turkey literally plucks you from your mother’s womb with a wet schlocking sound before aggressively quizzing you on your gender and appearance. A model father and a model baby.
And just like being a real baby, these early moments in Fallout 3 act as a helpful introductory tutorial, demonstrating how to pick up items, open doors and manage your inventory. Cool!
Another game which allows you to simulate your own birth in first-person, Assassin’s Creed 2 wasted no time in teaching you all the controls a growing boy needs.
Still sticky with your mother’s viscera, you’re prompted to “press X to move your armed hand”, causing your tiny baby fist to take a feeble swing at your dad’s chin. Bless.
You have to follow a few more baby-sized QTEs before you’re handed back to your exhausted mother, who immediately asks you to collect 100 flags dotted across the city.
Thanks for reading this list of the best babies in games. Have you seen a baby in a game? Think we’ve missed a baby? Why not let us know in the comments below! | 2019-04-22T03:59:00 | https://www.pcgamesn.com/eight-best-babies-games-0 |

Giving your horse cannabis may seem like a bizarre idea, but it can actually be really helpful!
Recently, there has been a lot of commotion about CBD oil. It has even begun spreading into the horse industry. This powerful tincture is made from the compound cannabidiol and extracted from hemp plants. Health benefits can be seen in people and animals, including horses!
A solvent, such as olive oil, is placed on the surface of a hemp plant. As it makes its way through the plant, it absorbs CBD. The solvent is then extracted and you’re left with a high concentration of CBD. It’s safe and completely natural.
This oil can be used to treat inflammation, stress, digestion, pain, and your horse’s emotions. Horse owners can assist with the pain of arthritis, as CBD oil fights chronic inflammation and swelling. Furthermore, horses can experienced relief from gastric ulcers, laminitis, and colic.
Perhaps one of the greatest benefits, CBD oil can aid in emotional distress. It has been known to help those with anxiety and depression.
The dosage will be determined based on your horse’s weight. You’ll want to consult a holistic veterinarian.
Generally, the oil can be administered under the horse’s tongue to be absorbed by the mucous membranes. In addition, it can be applied topically in a targeted spot or infused into a treat.
This product can be purchased online through various retailers. It’s best to find one specifically designed for horses, in order to get a larger quantity of the oil.

I guess there are two phases to my career as a photographer: The first phase was as an educator, teaching part time at several colleges in the north-west, ending up as a full-time programme manager at Hugh Baird college in Bootle.
“Pleasureland”: photographs of Southport fair out of season shot on 5×4 in black and white.

Great service, Quick & Accurate shipping. Product improved fuel mileage.
The blacked out 71-3070 is awesome. I put it on my lifted '13 GMC and the guaranteed 10-15 horsepower showed up. I didn't think it would be a feelable difference in Hp, but it was. The sound is pure bad - thru my Cherrybomb. And the black kit on my black truck looks BEAST. Thanks K&N!
Mpg increased from 22.1 to 25.6 after replace the OE filter with the K&N drop in.
Fits well and works as advertised.
I have K&N filters on everything I own, it is a great product! I will continue to use K&N on all my equipment, there is no better filter on the market to date. Thank you for a great product!
I have used K&N products on several motorcycles and purchased once again to replace the original HD filter after 20,000 miles.
Best air filter you can buy. I get one for every vehicle I have ever owned.
Love the filter. Kit went in easy but the surrounding heat shield around the filter seems very flimsy and rattles a little.
Added to my supercharged gen6 Camaro SS and gained nearly 1psi at full boost...that's about 25rwhp - thank you very much!
I have this filter for my Nissan Altima 3.5 V6. I have seen that my gas mileage went up from 23city up to 26.2 in the city, well worth the money. I also get better power from car with K&N air filter.
Arrived on the day they said it would and it was the correct part and in perfect condition. Installed the same day and I can definitely tell the difference. Much better throttle response and engine feels stronger.
The filter I ordered was a perfect fit and the packaging was in perfect condition, which is more than I can say for orders I have placed with other companies. Also the shipping was great, far faster than I anticipated. I will definitely be purchasing from K&N again. Thank you for great customer service.
Amazing like always. Would definitely recommend.
Wonderful product, bike runs nice.
Engine is breathing a little better. You can hear the difference and its all good. Just hoping to wear it out on my lifetime so I can purchase another.
The air filter works great. Perfect fit. Increased throttle response. Increased gas mileage.
Awesome. Big difference. Installation was easy. I should have listened to my son sooner.
Easy to install. Truck sounds great. Easy to maintain. Has a bit more guts and slightly better MPG. Why buy a throw away filter when this will last longer then the truck will.
I’m far from a mechanic, in fact changing oil and limited brake work have been my top project. So I was a little apprehensive about doing the work on my own, especially on a nearly new vehicle. However, the task went smoothly, taking about an hour and half. My engine light did come on but turned off a few days later. I’m seeing about 1 MPG increase in fuel efficient and can actually feel the difference in power when I stomp down on the gas.
Better performance from our RX350. All our cars have knfilters. Next will be cabin filters.
Great product Great quality and delivered fast.
Easy install with great instructions. Shipped fast,and works great!
Don't know why everyone does not have one. It's everything you claim it is and then some. This is my second one as I have a new truck. My wife and daughter both have one and we all love it.
I installed the intake in about an hour, the directions were great. Took my truck for a test drive and couldn't believe the change in the sound. Now I need an exhaust system.
Excellent fit. Keeps filter cleaner longer and water out. | 2019-04-22T14:09:40 | https://www.knairfilters.cn/register/feedback290.aspx |
This week, we started things off talking about happiness in the workplace. Lochlin asked me what I think about people that hate their jobs and are only in them because they have bills to pay, which is probably the case more often than we realize. This prompted me to quickly run through my story at the Nation and how I used to work for a huge corporation before coming here. Next up, we got to the Edmonton Oilers’ loss last night against the Minnesota Wild and I go into how annoyed I was by the loss considering it was a very winnable game for them. As always, it was a good time jumping on the air with the boys. | 2019-04-20T13:26:56 | https://oilersnation.com/2018/10/31/baggedmilk-on-thelockerroom-oilers-special-teams-struggle-and-happiness-over-money/ |
Breastfeeding - exercise safe for baby?
My baby is now almost ten months old and is still breastfed. I desperately want to get back into a regular exercise program. Can you tell me if there's any truth in the following rumour I've heard: I've been told that toxins released from the fat cells in your body during exercise, can get into the breast milk, and as a result you shouldn't exercise while breastfeeding?
The rumour you mention is based on the suggestion that breast milk after exercise contains increased amounts of lactic acid, which might be harmful to the baby. This suggestion has been studied scientifically and refuted in the medical literature. One study focussed on breast-feeding mothers and divided the group into three cohorts. One group was put on a weight reduction diet, the second was placed on an exercise and diet programme and the third group acted as controls for the study. The study concluded that the volume and composition of the breast milk did not differ significantly between the three groups and that the infant weight did not differ. Looking at this issue on a purely hypothetical basis it is conceivable that a higher level of lactic acid in the milk might possibly alter the taste of the milk but there is no evidence that this could be harmful. It is perfectly safe for you to resume a regular exercise programme without fearing that it might be harmful to your baby. Such a programme will restore your level of physical fitness and help to restore your weight and figure to normal. A fitter healthier mother is a very good outcome for your baby. You can safely ignore the rumour. | 2019-04-20T18:30:37 | http://www.irishhealth.com/askdoc.html?q=3912&qasect=3 |

Hi Debbie, The power may need to be turned off to the fixture, then back on again (please see the wiring diagram at: http://www.aleddra.com/spec/CutSheet-Emergency-T8-Tube.pdf). If the bulb still isn't working correctly, please reach out to us at 888-455-2800, option 4 and one of our reps can assist you further.
The lamp says Before installation turn power off. What happens if power is on?
This can cause the bulb to malfunction, become defective and can create a safety issue.
I could use a wiring diagram.
Would the battery turn on the light every time you turn of the switch to the fixture? OR is it like the Sengled bulbs which sense if it is a switch you've turned off or the power itself has gone out?
The battery back up will only work when full power has been cut. This bulb will not light just because the switch was turned off. | 2019-04-19T16:07:44 | https://www.bulbs.com/product/YSH-T812-Y01-18-G13-4000K |
I’m heavily involved in flash fiction right now: knee deep in Shards revisions and having just cleared a chest high stack of Black Box submissions (some acceptances, many more rejections, but some damn interesting stuff regardless). Fortunately, the Black Box slushpile is down to just a handful of stories to which I’m giving further consideration.
Dark fiction in Australia is a very small pond, both in terms of active writers and publications (regular or otherwise). I discussed this briefly on the ASif forum interview a while back, but I’m in the quandary that some of the best opportunities for dark fiction in this country are being/have been produced by Brimstone Press, which may beg the question of the cynically-minded, “Is he getting published on quality? Or is it because he knows the publisher?” I reckon the same applies to several writers/editors (or partners thereof) in the SF and F genres, but what can you do? | 2019-04-26T02:28:48 | http://jiraiya.com.au/stealing-fire-2/ |
Among many breakthroughs that have made living longer possible, better health care–and more experts to make that care possible–loom large. Given that all of us are aging, we need more clinicians, researchers, and advocates to keep that momentum going. Ideally, for example, we’d already have more than 22,000 geriatricians in the U.S. (though at present less than 7,000 certified clinicians are practicing nationwide). With a limited number of geriatricians, how are we to train the next generation of clinicians to optimally care for older people? A new tool from the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) and Aquifer (the non-profit leader in developing clinical learning tools for health professions education) holds promise for bridging that gap. Aquifer Geriatrics (available at Aquifer.org/Courses/Aquifer-Geriatrics/), the AGS national online curriculum in geriatrics, is leveraging e-learning and geriatrics’ thought-leadership to advance much-needed training to care for older adults.
The idea behind Aquifer Geriatrics is simple: Learners at subscribing institutions have instantaneous access to each of 26 evidence-based, peer-reviewed cases addressing the fundamentals of caring for older adults. The Aquifer Geriatrics curriculum was developed by experts from the AGS and Association of Directors of Geriatric Academic Programs (ADGAP) using the framework of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)/John A. Hartford Foundation Minimum Geriatrics Competencies for Graduating Medical Students. Cases meet the needs of today’s learner as they can be completed at their own pace, without being bound to a traditional “classroom.” Subscriptions ensure that the course will be sustainable, providing consistent funding for operations such as content updates from a dedicated board of top educators, maintenance, and support.
An article published today in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS; DOI: 10.1111/jgs.15813) introduces the Aquifer Geriatrics curriculum and walks through several of its early successes, as well as strategies to help clinicians and institutions adopt the platform. In a related editorial also published in JAGS (DOI: 10.1111/jgs.15901), independent educational experts noted that the program holds promise for “helping to fill the gap that is left by the shortage of geriatrics educators” in preparing the field to “play the long game,” thanks to innovative solutions to education.
Aquifer Geriatrics cases can be completed on smartphones, tablets, or computers, and can be used independently or by schools with curricular time available to students. The cases also are appropriate for a host of health professionals, from internal and family medicine residents to physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and geriatrics fellows. | 2019-04-19T09:38:23 | http://www.medicalnewser.com/2019/04/13/newly-developed-tool-helps-train-clinicians-to-optimally-care-for-older-people.html |

Are you Restricting your Reiki?
Depending on whom you trained with, you may have been given quite a long list of ‘situations where you should not use Reiki’.
It seems that the only restriction that Mrs Takata taught was that you should not treat a broken bone with Reiki, but many other restrictions have been added in later on in Reiki’s Western history.
I thought I would spend a little time talking about these ‘Reiki contraindications’.
Firstly, I would like to talk about the ‘broken bone’ restriction, which is made on the basis that Reiki accelerates the healing process, so you do not want Reiki to set the bone before it has been put back in the right position.
Now while Reiki is an amazing energy, and has done some wonderful and breathtaking things, I think most people’s experience is that Reiki gently supports the body’s natural healing ability, and that while it may accelerate the healing process, the effects of Reiki generally build up cumulatively.
I do not believe that Reiki will set someone’s bone like fast-acting Polyfilla, so that they will have to have the bone re-broken and re-set when they get to Casualty a few hours later.
Breaking a bone is a shocking and painful experience (I know this from first hand experience!) and Reiki could make a real difference to someone, so I would not hold back from giving it, and I would not hold back from treating the area where the bone is broken.
Suggesting that you could Reiki someone, but keep well away from the broken bone, does not stop Reiki from rushing to where it is needed (the bone), and why would we imagine that what many people see as a spiritually-guided life-force energy would mess things up for a person.
Reiki is supposed to be intelligent.
Another situation where some people are taught that you ‘should not treat’ is when a client has a pacemaker.
This restriction is made on the basis that Reiki energy is electromagnetic in nature, and will interfere with the proper functioning of the device. Confusingly, some say that this restriction only applies to analogue pacemakers, not the newer digital ones.
There seems to be no evidence whatsoever to indicate that Reiki would cause a problem in this area, and I have not heard on a single anecdote where a Reiki practitioner treated someone with a pacemaker and the treatment caused problems.
I am also not aware of any evidence to show that Reiki is electromagnetic in nature, either. If it was, you could measure Reiki easily: move your hand over a wire and you would induce an electric current, which you could pick up with a voltmeter.
Some have suggested that you can solve this ‘problem’ by keeping away from the heart area, but we all know that Reiki rushes from where we put it to where it is needed. I would have thought that a person with a pacemaker needed more Reiki in the heart area, not less, and if Reiki is drawn to the areas of need then it is going to go where it wants anyway. The only solution would be not to treat someone with a pacemaker, which I think is ridiculous.
Some have suggested that you should not attune someone with a pacemaker, and again I do not think that this is sensible.
I am not going to restrict my practice of Reiki on the basis of unfounded supposition.
With nearly all the restrictions that are put on Reiki, there seems to be no evidence to back up any of them.
I am not talking about double blind clinical trials here, but even simple anecdotes where a practitioner has treated someone and found that there is a problem that can be reasonably attributed to the treatment that has been given.
I have heard that you should not treat insulin-dependent Diabetics, or people taking steroids for adrenal insufficiency. Those restrictions have been made on the basis that if Reiki produces an instant cure then the patient’s next dose of insulin, or steroids, will kill them.
Again, while Reiki is a wonderful healing force, it is not my belief that Reiki is likely to cure diabetes, for example, at the click of a finger. Most people’s experience is that the effects of Reiki build up cumulatively and that if a condition has taken a long time to develop, then it is not so likely to disappear straight away.
Yes, a diabetic patient’s blood glucose levels may vary after a Reiki treatment, but diabetics’ blood sugar levels vary a great deal anyway. That is why they have to keep on sticking themselves with a pin to monitor their levels, and you could only attribute this variation to Reiki if it happened consistently after treatments and their blood sugar levels were stable the rest of the time.
Having said that, there does seem to be some anecdotal evidence that Reiki treatments can sometimes cause the client’s blood sugar levels to alter after a treatment. This does not mean that you should not treat diabetics: it means that you need to keep this in mind and mention this possibility to the client, so that they can monitor their blood sugar levels accordingly.
I have heard that you should not send distant Reiki to someone who is driving a car, because they will fall asleep, and you should not send distant Reiki to someone who is under an anaesthetic, because it will make them wake up… well, which is it?
This doesn’t sound like an intelligent energy to me, and there seems to be a lot of fear, and a lack of trust in the energy, underlying all these restrictions.
So where is the evidence that Reiki wakes people up during surgery?
Where is even one anecdote where it was clear that Reiki, rather than any other cause, led to this happening?
Look for the evidence, and you find that these scare stories have no foundation.
In fact, the restrictions do not stop there. There are many more taught in different lineages.
Let’s just examine two of these.
It is said by some teachers that you should not treat people who have cancer because Reiki will “feed the cancer”; there is a variation on this myth, actually, where people are taught that they should not use one of the Reiki symbols because it will “put energy into the cancer”.
Let’s think rationally about this for just a second: we have cancer cells inside us all of the time and as you sit reading this, there are cancer cells in you. Your cells go haywire all the time and your immune system detects the errors and kills the cells.
But if you adhere to this Reiki contraindication then you should not treat anyone at all because Reiki feeds cancer cells, and everyone has cancer cells in them, so we can’t treat people, or animals, we can’t treat ourselves, and being attuned would be a death sentence!
If we shouldn’t treat pregnant women then we really need to refrain from treating any women of childbearing age because of course women can be in the early stages of pregnancy and not know about it, or be pregnant and not know about it.
And then of course all women of childbearing age should refrain from self-treating, and should not go on Reiki courses.
People do not think things through.
I believe that Reiki is a beautiful healing energy that supports the body’s natural healing ability, and brings things into balance on all levels.
It either has an innate intelligence, and knows where to go to an extent, or it is the body that is intelligent and draws the energy to where it is needed.
In either case, Reiki is not going to mess up a person and leave them less well off than they were before they started, other than a temporary intensification of symptoms. Examples of these would be an emotional release or strong emotions felt for a few days after being treated, or joint pains getting worse during a treatment and then improving subsequently.
The last set of restrictions that I have heard about concern distant healing, where it is said in some quarters that you should not send Reiki to people who have not asked for or given their permission.
Some people say that it is totally unethical to send distant Reiki to someone without obtaining their agreement and that it a gross intrusion.
Firstly, I see sending distant Reiki as rather like sending concentrated prayer. When you pray for someone you are asking for Divine intervention in another person’s life, in whatever way is right for that person according to Divine will. You are asking for things to change for the better. When you send Reiki you are sending it with loving intent and for the person’s highest good, so it is in line with that person’s destiny or karma, and many people see Reiki energy as having Divine origins. You do not ring someone up to ask their permission to pray for them, so why should if be different with Reiki?
If someone were knocked over by a car a few yards away from you, would you really not send Reiki to them because you couldn’t drag them into the seated position to sign a consent form? No. You would send Reiki to their highest good and let the energy do what is appropriate for them. You offer the energy: you do not force the recipient to receive it.
Reiki is a beautiful healing energy that brings things into balance on all levels and does not mess people up, leaving them worse off than they were to begin with. With distant healing your intent is that the energy works for the highest good of the recipient, so if it is not appropriate for that person to get the benefit of the energy then it simply will not work. You are not imposing your will and you are not imposing your preferred solution on the situation. You are simply sending love, offering the energy, making the energy available, not forcing it to be received.
For these reasons, I have no problem in sending Reiki to people who have not specifically requested it.
I send the energy with the intention that it be received by the recipient at whatever time is appropriate for them.
I do not see that there are any other restrictions that need to be applied to the energy, or the practice of Reiki. In the West we think too much, and come up with too many complications.
Reiki is simple and does not need to be restricted. It knows what to do. | 2019-04-20T18:36:43 | http://www.reiki-evolution.co.uk/restrictions-on-reiki-healing/ |

The strategy of HTU is to create an internationally competitive higher education institution, modeled after a premier and innovative-style advanced technical university. HTU serves as a bridge between higher education and industry, providing opportunities to students to be highly immersed in the technical pursuit of the practical world. Since its establishment, HTU has been contributing to the development of a skilled workforce and innovation capabilities In addition to a strong focus on workforce requirements, entrepreneurship and innovation, critical thinking and practical orientation.
As a premier and coherent university integrating the public and private sectors, HTU leads to meaningful employment opportunities for its graduates and contributes to the innovation development needs of Jordan and the region at large. The focus of HTU is STEM education at the vocational and undergraduate levels, filling a niche that has long been neglected by the Jordanian higher education sector.
Close partnerships with the technical industry are integral to every component of HTU. HTU cultivates strong relationships with local, regional, and international technical industry partners. Industry leaders are invited to contribute to the development of its educational programs to ensure that students remain current with rapidly changing technical and scientific innovations. Such relationships also allow HTU to continually contribute to the needs of the industry. These relationships give HTU students an unmatched opportunity in both their current education and their future employment opportunities.
In addition to its degree programs, HTU offers skill development courses for members of the community who have completed their education but remain unemployed. These courses vary in length and focus, but are typically between 3 to 6 months and offer participants a chance to refine their skills to increase employability in the technical fields. Courses include English proficiency, leadership development, and technical upskilling.
Another important initiative at HTU is the Labs at Schools program. Through Labs at Schools, HTU faculty, staff, and students are able to bring lab-based curriculum to schools in remote areas of Jordan. This program allows HTU to demonstrate its commitment to its mission of advocating for STEM education by giving school children the opportunity to access its labs and learn from its faculty. | 2019-04-24T02:59:14 | http://htu.edu.jo/strategic-goals |

A number of unique facial features have been described in individuals with M-CM. Although it is difficult to articulate the subtle similarities among affected individuals, it is clear when looking at photos that children with M-CM look more like each other than members of their own families. The facial features of M-CM are not necessarily specific to the diagnosis, though a clinician with experience in the diagnosis may recognize a specific pattern of the facial features in M-CM more readily than another provider. | 2019-04-25T15:47:25 | https://m-cm.net/description/facial_features |
Jumped or Fell? Who Cares? You’re Wet, What Next?
Too often we focus on the past and what has happened rather than dealing with where we are. I find this to be a real stumbling blocks for a lot of businesses and a lot of people. While I understand the importance of debriefing and understanding what we’ve done so that we can either repeat or avoid this in the future, this isn’t what most people are doing. Most people are just rehashing in an attempt to make sure that the blame never falls on them. I’ve dealt with this time and time again. I once had a college roommate try to explain to all of our other roommates why he was not responsible for a student visa that was covered in his beer, in the room he was in, when no one else was there. I don’t care anymore. At this point, there’s a student visa covered in beer. Let’s go from there.
We’re afraid. We’re afraid of taking the blame. We’re afraid that people will know that we made a mistake. But here’s the thing. When it comes down to it, nobody cares that you messed up or how you messed up. You’re wet. What now?
This is the eye-opening realization that I came to when my son fell into a lake and my mother didn’t really care about the details. I realized that we spend all of this time and energy trying to explain ourselves out of these corners that we’re backed into. Don’t play rope-a-dope, don’t come out swinging. Don’t back down, but don’t get your back up. Each of these tendencies has a tendency to result in failure. The question that you should ALWAYS be asking yourself is what now?
However, one of the issues with this system is that while you’re trying to move forward, too many managers are focused on what happened. In my experience, there is nothing more detrimental to the success of an organization than poor management. So, now I’m reaching out to THOSE people. If you’re managing a team that makes a mistake, don’t dwell. Don’t forget. Don’t ignore. But don’t dwell. Focus on how your team is going to make things right. Think about it. I’d rather manage a team where I know what they do when push comes to shove than a group that slips and slides and avoids the issue every time something happens.
So how can you manage better? Focus your attention on making things right. When you empower your team to make things right, they’ll start to do things right the first time. When they’re less worried about coming up with excuses than coming up with results, the results will be exciting. This is not about ignoring incompetence. When someone can’t do the job they have to do, you need to address it. But when you give people the opportunity to do great things without fear, they will do great things more often than not. It doesn’t matter if your team jumped or fell. They’re wet, what’s next? | 2019-04-24T08:39:38 | http://reallylittlewins.com/jumped-or-fell-who-cares-youre-wet-what-next |
Wife of the President, Mrs Aisha Buhari, has called on women and the youth from the North-East to wait behind at polling units and protect their votes during the general elections.
She made the call in Bauchi on Wednesday at the North-East Zonal Town Hall meeting for women and the youth organised by the Buhari Women and Youth Presidential Campaign Team.
The President’s wife was represented by the wife of the Vice-President, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo.
Mrs Osinbajo said, “Her Excellency (Mrs Buhari) has asked me to tell you to take care of your PVCs so that on February 16, you can go to the polling units and vote for the APC.
“She has asked me to tell you that after voting, you must not go home. You must vote and wait for your votes to be counted.
“She has asked me to remind you of the children that go to school and get fed there and to remind you of the work done by the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
She said the President’s wife was happy when she was told of the market women who were beneficiaries of the Trader Moni and the Market Moni as well as the thousands of Nigerian youths who had jobs with the N-Power.

Moored on the river are some of the Cruise boats that travel the Mosel, especially to Traben-Trarback about 20km downstream. The village above right is the Graach Schäferei. Not sure if they still hold sheep there now. | 2019-04-21T16:23:48 | http://jazclass.aust.com/travel/files/kues10.htm |

You’ve heard the phrase “You get what you focus on”.
Or in my words, “How you see is what you get”.
But what if you don’t like how/ what you see? Is it possible to change our perception to get a different result? I believe it is, but first we need to see as much of the picture as possible.
Many of us go years without fulfilling our potential or trying new things because we simply don’t perceive ourselves as able. Or worse, we live with flaws because it never occurs to us that they’re problematic. If you don’t think you can go after your dream job, you’re worried you can’t attract that person you’re really into, or you simply lack confidence, the problem might not be your situation, but just your perception. Your ideas about yourself determine the course of your life, so don’t leave them to chance.
How about you? Have you been able to change a situation or develop a strength using any of these methods? Or perhaps you used a different technique that wasn’t mentioned.
I know your an avid reader so I’m unsure I can augment your philosophy… by the way I admire you very much. Just as people gain and lose financial wealth repeatedly, I’ve risen and fallen in spirit repeatedly and have yet to self-perfect. But overall I see major advantages I’m playing with that 99.99% of the folks I see havent tapped… To keep it simple, here’s a few books/resources that have majorly impacted me. BTW, I experienced major loss early on… some things are personal and some things are too personal, but I’ll tell you that I spent a couple decades not developing myself because I lived in fear that I was going to die… I have grown rapidly over the last few years because I realized that I might live a long time and experience my dreams.
You bet Warren… If interested in connecting with james, I’ll give you his personal email.
So true Roberto. Many things we cannot change, but we’re always in charge of our attitude and response. I’m sorry to hear of your struggle, but grateful to hear that my journey can help in some way. Keep fighting.
Hi Warren, I think that your journey has inspired many of us. You have taught me that if I want to succeed and change my situation then it is up to me, not anyone else. I certainly live by your philosophy that ‘How you see is what you get’. From the first time I heard that from you it has something that I have strived to teach others. Your positiveness rubs off on many of us, so thank you!
Thanks Carol, You’ve certainly done a great job of creating success yourself; keep on charging ahead! Will be cheering for you in Rio (from Canada)!
So true Shawn! And of course ,one man’s good is another man’s evil. Perception lays the foundation for the experiences we have, always.
Hi Warren. Throughout the years I have struggled with self confidence. That belief that one is never good enough really drains the spirit. Then a few years ago I got the idea to do something which I would’ve never dreamed of before. I not only stepped out of my comfort zone but jumped. It feels quite liberating but still makes me feel uncomfortable on many occasions. That saying do something everyday that scares you is wonderful but can become draining as well because there is still a part of me that struggles with it all. I equate my life to an onion. I peel off a layer and am satisfied until I realize that another one is waiting to be peeled. Life is a journey which can be as wonderful as we allow it to be. Carpe diem!
Maryann, now you’ve got me intrigued as to what you did that you’d never done before? Even without knowing though; I love that you jumped! | 2019-04-22T14:08:57 | https://www.warren-macdonald.com/blog/change-your-self-perception-change-your-life |
Wake up early to go for breakfast.
Their breakfast timing is from 6am - 10am (Indonesia Time).
We will not show the full video because we will be compiling it.
We will upload to our YouTube channel.
Do subscribe to us to watch the videos.
Just watch the short video that we have recorded.
Do ignore the sound that is from Hidayat’s nose.
After breakfast, Ashila & Shasha head down to the swimming pool.
The Swimming pool at Aston Batam Hotel & Residences is open from 6am - 8pm (Indonesia Time).
The photo & video is taken by Azam.
Where got time for Swimming.
Bed time is way way important than Swimming.
We have book an appointment at 11.30am (Indonesia Time) for our spa treatment.
It is located opposite Nagoya Hills.
The shop name is The Spa Secret.
We took free shuttle bus service at 11am from hotel lobby to Nagoya Hills Shopping Centre.
Then we will walk opposite the mall to go for the appointment.
they want to shop at Nagoya Hill Shopping Mall.
We took a Traditional Herbal Spa package for 2 pax.
It cost IDR $860,000 per person (SGD $87 per person).
The spa package is 2 hours 30 mins in a couple room.
1. sea salt foot bath in the room.
2. Followed by body cleansing in the room.
3. Body massage using lemongrass oil + you will smell the aroma lemongrass through the head hole massage bed in the room.
4. Scrub your body using lulur in the room.
5. You will seat at the body steam room for 15 mins (damn scary). Remember this is a separate room. Not in the couple room.
6. After that they will ask you drink water to hydrate yourself + Body Yogurt Polish in the couple room.
7. Soak yourself in Jacuzzi Pool in the room.
8. You have to shower yourself in the room.
9. Lastly, ladies will go through V-Treatment (claim to tighten it..lol) & men will go through lotion body & shoulder massage in the couple room.
10. Once your massage is done, you will drink a cup of Lemongrass tea with biscuits & sweets.
Nah. Go and see the link yourself.
If you interested, go and make an appointment.
After we are done with the spa, we meet up with our families at Nagoya Hills.
By that time, they already done with their shopping at there.
Our next plan was to go to Diamond City Mall.
Known as DC Mall Batam.
It was a last minute plan.
Take note we got 6 pax and we don’t have transportation on second day.
If we take taxi, we need two taxis.
Each taxi cost you IDR 50,000 (SGD $5).
Means two cabs total of SGD $10.
We decided to take the risk and try grab services in Batam.
They have grab car that caters 6 pax.
Guess how much they cost you to go from Nagoya Hills to DC Mall.
It cost you only IDR $13,000 (SGD $1.30).
The driver will message you and tell you where to meet.
they claim the security guard and tax driver will assault them.
you will need to walk a little bit further from Nagoya Hills.
We did shop at Diamond City Mall (DC Mall Batam).
We bought some items from supermarket again.
Azam & Ashila buy good quality jackets.
Ashila wanted Telur Penyu (Turtle Eggs) and for 10 eggs, it cost you IDR $15,000 each (SGD $1.50 each).
We also bought foods at Coffee Town DC Mall Batam and bring back to hotel.
Nasi Ayam Rendang cost you IDR $27,000 (SGD $2.70).
Sate Ayam 30 sticks with Lotong, Timun and the sauce cost you IDR $98,000 (SGD $9.80 in total).
Means each satay stick cost you SGD $0.32.
I highly recommend the satay to you because it taste the same like our Singapore version.
Most satay in Batam is mixed with soya sauce (kicap) which is NOT NICE to us.
Nasi goreng oriental cost you IDR $32,000 (SGD $3.20).
Mee goreng cost you IDR $27,000 (SGD $2.70).
5 pieces of chicken nuggets cost you IDR $26,000 (SGD $2.60).
Don’t buy the nuggets. Not worth it.
Might as well you buy the nuggets at Burger King Singapore.
We decided to Grab again from DC Mall Batam to our Hotel.
If we go by taxi, the price will be about SGD $8 each.
Its a peak period that time.
Imagine two taxis means, total of $16 for two taxis.
We book GrabCar 6 seater for the price of IDR $15,000 (SGD $1.50).
Its one time payment uh.
You see huge price difference uh.
Let me tell what is the scariest part.
The driver message me to exit at this place.
When we were exiting the place, we got followed by the group of strangers (taxi drivers).
As we are approaching the car, the car drove away from us.
He even message me personally. DANGER.
In our heart, its like whatever lah.
We walk a little further from DC Mall Batam to get into the grab.
and making hard life for the grab customers.
they are willing to smash the grab drivers in order to stop them from entering to that area.
I highly recommend NOT TO TAKE GRAB IN BATAM especially with family members.
You don’t want them to get hurt due to the cheap services.
Unless you go with a group of martial-art background, you may consider grab services.
Anyway, we managed to go back hotel safely.
Above is the proof of our pictures. Hahaha.
Before sleeping, Ashila, Shasha & Azam did their face mask.
This was our last night in Aston Batam Hotel & Residences.
Its was a great family time spent. | 2019-04-21T08:46:18 | http://www.hidayatashila.com/blog/category/ila-ashila |

The Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Legend presents a full-bodied cigar that takes the world renown cigar brand to a new level of flavor and aroma. This cigar has an incredible complexity due to its Nicaraguan and potent Dominican Ligero. The Legend also contains a unique tobacco grown on the volcanic island of Ometepe, also in Nicaragua. This rare tobacco creates a complexity overlooked in other cigars, creating oak flavors, cedar, and a rich aftertaste, which lingers on the palate far after the cigar has extinguished. The wrapper concealing this unique and rare filler is a dark Connecticut Havana allowing for a more robust flavor and a smooth character. | 2019-04-18T17:26:02 | http://www.dwcigars.com/Hoyo-De-Monterrey-Excalibur-Legend/products/139/ |
In the words of my Yorkshire-born grandfather, me eyes ‘ave gone. Well, eye, to be specific. It looks like some sort of cornea damage now. I can maybe have more surgery, but it’s risky. The surgical team (which pulls from all over North America) will confer, but I’ve been told to start thinking that this is the new normal. It’s disappointing, but also a bit of a relief in a weird way. I can accept the new normal. It’s the not knowing that was so very upsetting. The good news is I can drive and work out and do all the usual stuff. I have a bit of vertigo, but I had that before too. Reading is tougher, but I’ve enabled the huge print on my iPhone and will probably pick up an iMac this weekend to supplement my laptop. When Apple can solve your woes, you know that things could be much worse.
I’ve been immersing myself in the church lately. When the chips are down, you need to pull out the heavy artillery. I’ve been meeting with my friends of faith and leaning heavily on the books of Lisa TerKeurst and the words of my friends at See Hear Love. And I remind myself daily of this.
This is the day the Lord has made. Not just Easter or the day at the beach or a particularly good sample sale. He made not just the good days, but all the days. So I try to look for the gifts. I’ve had much harder days and there have always been the gifts. This whole eye thing has given me a certain sense of discernment. A product of my culture, I was getting distracted by the silly. (If you are interested in finding out how where you live changes you, this is an excellent piece!) I was a little to of the world and not simply in it.
And I try to look for the positives. I’m a month away from living seaside. I can get a good old fashioned Victorian-era airing. “Here eyes have gone. She’s gone to the sea,” people can say. I can buy a billowy gown and smelling salts. It’s all good.
And when the days are harder, I can always take comfort in one of my favourite passages ever.
The unknown is always the most unnerving. Always good to lean on the Lord. | 2019-04-26T10:18:51 | https://dwellonthesethings.com/2017/06/02/this-is-the-day/ |
