For years New York City Mayors have bemoaned the fact that much of the budget is “uncontrollable.” By this they mean that parts of the budget are not under the direct control of City leaders. The Mayor and City Council cannot act on them unilaterally. Other parties, including State and federal officials, impose important constraints on local officials. For example, the City’s Medicaid bill is determined by State legislation specifying who is eligible and how much doctors and hospitals must be paid.
Debt service – because the City is obligated to pay back money it has already borrowed.
The limited discretion over these items is a problem, because City officials make clear that it causes them to spend more than they otherwise want. In this situation the budget is not a tool for setting priorities but becomes a straitjacket that forces tax increases or cuts in other areas.
The reality is that City leaders have more options for controlling these expenditures than they acknowledge. The fact that other parties play a role does not mean that there is nothing the City can do. It simply means that City officials must be more creative and determined in their thinking and be willing to persevere over a multi-year time horizon. The danger is that the rhetoric becomes accepted as a fact rather than confronted as a difficult but addressable problem. | 2019-04-19T15:22:27 | https://cbcny.org/research/myth-uncontrollables |

Cates HSHS St. Joseph’s – Highland is proud to be recognized for its dedication and commitment to quality patient care. In 2016, the hospital was honored to receive three awards for its commitment to quality.
“This showcases and recognizes the hospital’s dedication to its mission to provide Christ’s healing love to all patients,” said Melissa Cates, the interim chief nursing officer and quality-risk director.
This is the second year in a row that the hospital has been recognized for its commitment to patient safety and quality with a Quality Excellence Achievement Award in the Rural/Critical Access Hospital category from the Illinois Health and Hospital Association’s Institute for Innovations in Care and Quality.
Out of 99 hospitals, St. Joseph’s Hospital ranked No. 1. The hospital was recognized for its quality improvement project, “Saving Lives by Immediate Identification and Treatment of Sepsis.” Early next year, all entries and project summaries will be published in the 2016 Quality Excellence Achievement Awards compendium.
Sepsis is the third-leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer and time is critical for keeping patients alive.
“There are a lot of moving parts to a sepsis diagnosis,” said Cates, who recognizes the staff for their wonderful achievement. In 2016, the hospital achieved a 100 percent compliance rate. Staff members were recognized this September during Sepsis Awareness Month.
This year the hospital was also named one of the Top 20 Critical Access Hospitals for Practices in Quality based on a composite rating from nine indices of strength by the National Rural Health Association. The hospital scored best among critical access hospitals on iVantage Health Analytics’ Hospital Strength Index for Practices in Quality. There are 1,332 critical access hospitals in the country; critical access hospitals serve patients in rural areas that would otherwise not have access to care.
Press Ganey recently awarded St. Joseph’s Hospital the 2016 Guardian of Excellence Award. The award recognizes top-performing health-care organizations that consistently achieve the 95th percentile or above of performance in clinical quality and is a nationally-recognized symbol of achievement in health care.
St. Joseph’s Hospital continues to believe in meeting the needs of the patient and holds staff members accountable for providing quality care, Cates said. This is reflected in the community, where visitors and patients can see the great care that the hospital provides and the recognition it shows its staff.
“It affirms the good work that we do.” said Cates. | 2019-04-20T06:41:21 | https://www.ibjonline.com/past-issues/2017-issues/january-2017/954-the-year-in-review-2016/4944-hshs-st-joseph-s-highland-recognized-for-quality-care?tmpl=component&print=1&layout=default |
My partner reminded me that I was expecting something very special from two lovely girls, friends that are very dear to us having been made on Facebook and become real-life friends after their visit in September, friends who are mad about English and Literature and London and (now!) Portsmouth and Bristol, and Doctor Who, and Sherlock, and all the other fun things that I love too. Friends who had, apparently, secretly agonised with him over what to get me for Christmas, because they are so incredibly thoughtful.
Look! It’s a beautiful iPad cover! (They knew I hadn’t got round to making my own yet, and was using a cheapy from eBay.) And it’s grey! (my favourite colour!) And it’s felt! (Which I adore – yes, I also have favourite fabrics – I used it in my Kindle cover!) And it has a really pretty punched leather decor and lots of pockets for all my little scrappy notes! It’s the perfect little writer’s carry-case for wandering about town, writing about things on the fly, looking retro and dandy and graceful!
Thankyou darling, thoughtful girls! It’s wonderful and I love it! Thankyou so much!
Thanks Liam! I’ll be sure to check out ‘Life of a Thinker’ too. | 2019-04-18T10:25:39 | https://laurajenkinson.com/2012/12/15/a-present-for-a-modern-writer/ |

Along with some bug fixes, 2.1.0 is mostly about improving POG Setup.
In 2.1.0, Setup is much more friendly, thorough and useful. The most useful feature is probably the fact that Setup can now perform automatic alignment of database tables based on your objects. For example, let’s say you have object A with attributes B, and C. You decide to add another attribute, D, to object A and regenerate the object. During Setup, POG will automatically adjust your database table by adding column D for you. Other operations, such as dropping and modifying columns are also automatically handled.
We personally found this feature was also really useful when promoting any project to the production server from the development server. Once a new feature has been added and tested, and the code promoted to the production server, setup is run and in less than 1 min, the production server is operational.
POG Setup also performs better unit tests and is able to test connected objects. When objects are generated with a Child or Parent attribute, Setup will test each object’s CRUD methods as well as the relations methods.
Finally, some other changes in 2.1.0 include a few bug fixes and the ability to password protect POG Setup.
Also, coming soon: support for many-many relations in POG. | 2019-04-23T10:42:31 | http://www.7795196.com/plog/article/127/whats-new-in-210 |

18 Things To Do in 2018!
Let me know what YOUR 2018 goals are! I need some inspo and some new things to try and challenge myself with this year! | 2019-04-20T08:51:19 | https://arcticsabrina.com/2018/01/01/18-things-to-do-in-2018/ |
Friday The 13th films began being released on VHS during the 1980's, which was the golden age of video stores, and became part of a home video revolution that created it's own culture. Even today, with the dwindling amount of stores that still rent out physical media, there is a devoted following of yesteryear. For those readers that grew up during that time with no Internet or iMdb to reference what movies were about or how good they were, box cover art could either sell you on watching a film or simply passing it by.
Of course, box cover art wouldn't deter a Friday The 13th fan from renting a new film upon release, but other film aficionados who were not devoted fans of the franchise might have viewed particular releases in a different light based on the box cover art. With that in mind, we are going to rank to the Paramount era films according to their VHS box art and their appeal to the casual movie fan.
The theatrical poster for the film was much different that the VHS box cover as the poster was just text with the film title. The VHS cover that was chosen for this film is completely nonsensical and misplaced as it does not represent anything that happens in the film. Not only is the mask used on the cover not even found in the film, but the whole thing comes across as cartoonish and would make a lot of people viewing the cover for the first time even wonder if this was a real Friday The 13th movie.
This was another film where the initial theatrical poster featured only the tagline and the title (Theaters would later receive a Pressbook with the eventual VHS cover art). In a move that echoed the film production of Part 2, the original 1980 movie's poster concept was copied for the sequel's VHS cover art, implementing a silhouette around Part 2's film title. What resulted is a bland representation of the film and signaled this film as simply a retread of the previous entry in the franchise.
The hype surrounding the release of Part 3 in theaters with new 3-D technology launched the franchise into pop culture permanently, however, the home video release on VHS was unable to transfer over the 3-D effect. Thankfully, the poster art created for the theatrical run used more effective imagery to sell the film, and that was translated over to the VHS cover art. Although Jason is still shown as a silhouette, he is more defined in his action as he stabs through a shower curtain coming right into your living room!
The original film in the franchise had beautiful artwork created for the poster which was designed by Spiros Angelikas and painted by Alex Ebel. The poster was translated over to the VHS cover and utilizes the killer's silhouette to perfection as it surrounds the would-be victim camp counselors at Camp Crystal Lake.
The runner-up storyline to Freddy vs Jason definitely had marketability as the poster's simple yet powerful imagery of Jason's hockey mask and Tina Shepard's menacing face are separated by a knife dripping with blood. Thankfully the poster was ported over to the VHS box cover and even though the image of the duo is centered over a black background, fans get the full impression that these two are going to have one hell of a fight.
There isn't too much to say on pointing out the obvious with this cover at the number two spot. Although the theatrical poster went through numerous changes before the Part 8's release, the final version still hits a home-run as you need to see is Jason hovering over New York City with a knife to get excited to watch this film. Opinions on the quality of the film, of course, vary among the fans.
The initial theatrical poster for The Final Chapter was not very appealing as it was full of tag lines and just the film title (Theaters would later receive a Pressbook and other materials using the hockey mask). However, the eventual VHS box cover choice is gold, and among the other films listed at the top of our ranking, this simple imagery hits a big home-run in selling the movie. Whereas other Friday The 13th films that ranked high in our list utilized illustrations or Photoshop wizardry, the very simple use of a battered hockey mask with a knife in the eye whole and blood running underneath the mask conveys the message that this supposed franchise finale was going to be a bloody mess! | 2019-04-19T06:33:35 | http://www.fridaythe13thfranchise.com/2016/01/ranking-paramount-era-friday-13th-vhs.html |

Ladbrokes Review » Bookmaker Rating | Is Ladbrokes Secure?
Ladbrokes is amongst the oldest and most established sports betting websites. The betting site has pioneered quite a few aspects of sports betting – the details of which you shall come to know in the latter part of this Ladbrokes review article. Besides being involved in conventional sports betting, the company owns a betting exchange too. The sports betting site offers several promotions (such as price boosts), features, and various markets to bet in. Ladbrokes most likely has more withdrawal and deposit options compared to any other online bookmaker. The payment methods are varied and the payment processing speeds are probably next to none. New Ladbrokes sports betting players receive £20 in free bets (4x£5) on their qualifying bet, this welcome promotion offer is not the only promotion offered.
Like every other site, Ladbrokes has a dedicated Contact Us page on its site. You can contact Ladbrokes by telephone and email. There is also a live chat option. There is a Contact Us symbol located at the top-right of the site, which you can use to launch the live chat feature. In addition to the regular customer support number, there are dedicated telephone lines for sports betting customers too – one for UK players and the other for non-UK residents. You may even snail-mail Ladbrokes if you prefer.
Live Chat at Ladbrokes: What Is the Quality of the Service?
The live chat feature comes in quite handy if you cannot wait for a few hours to hear back from Ladbrokes. You need to log in to live chat and the response time is not more than a couple of minutes.
What Are the Supported Languages on the Ladbrokes homepage?
Ladbrokes supports English (UK, Ireland and Africa), Deutsch (German) and Svenska (Swedish).
Ladbrokes supports multiple currencies including pounds sterling, dollars (U.S., Australian, Canadian, Singapore, Hong Kong, and New Zealand), kroner (Danish, Norwegian, Swedish), euros, yen, and Swiss francs.
The site layout is certainly customer-friendly but also a bit overwhelming. New users or people who have just introduced themselves to the world of online sports betting could feel a bit intimidated by the layout initially.
Placing in-play bets is fairly straightforward. The site has the option to place in-play bets right on the home page. You’ll need to click-through three to four times to place your in-play bet.
The betting site offers new users £20 in Ladbrokes free bets. To avail this Ladbrokes free bet, you must register, enter the promotional code 20FREE and place a £5 qualifying bet. Once you place your qualifying bet your account will be credited 4x£5 free bets, there are many options to bet on the sports betting site.
Ladbrokes not just offers options to bet on the sport, but also provides details relating to various horse racing events and the jargons, helping you stay updated on what’s happening in the world of horse race betting. Some of the prestigious racing events open for betting on the Ladbrokes site are The Grand National, Cheltenham Festival, The Sandringham Stakes, The Britannia Stakes, etc. The source material is so comprehensive, you have something new to learn about horse race betting whether you are a beginner bettor or have years of experience behind.
Football is one of the most popular games in the world, including the United Kingdom. Ladbrokes is aware of this fact and, therefore, offers the best of betting opportunities on the sport. Competitions such as Euro 2016, The Premier League, The FA Cup, and The Champions League are available for betting. The site compiles profiles of all teams, takes a look at previous competitions, and offers multiple reading resources to help you make a knowledgeable bet.
England is where cricket was born. Therefore, it’s hard to imagine a UK-based sports betting website not offering cricket betting opportunities. Ladbrokes, in fact, breaks the game down and lets its sports bettors wager on various aspects of the game. In other words, bettors don’t just bet on the outcome of a particular game but they can also bet on the number of fours and sixes hit, extra runs added to a team’s total, run outs conceded, most runs scored in the starting over of an innings, highest wicket partnerships, etc. The various betting opportunities are just limitless.
Ladbrokes offers betting opportunities on American basketball. Popular leagues such as NBA, WNBA, and NCAA are available for betting through Ladbrokes. The bets are settled as per the result officially announced by the game’s governing bodies. An NBA game lasts for 48 minutes. For the bets on NBA games to stand, a minimum of 43 minutes should have been elapsed.
In case the game gets cancelled before the 43 minutes of play, all the bets would be considered void. All bets stand if the result is declared officially. Both WNBA and NCAA games have 40 minutes of actual play. Therefore, the bets would stand for an NCAA and WNBA game only if 35 minutes of gameplay have been completed. These are just rules pertaining to American basketball. Betting opportunities are available also for international basketball events held in Europe, South America and Philippines.
The aforementioned are just some of the sports available for betting at Ladbrokes. Other sports that you can bet on are tennis, golf, volleyball, cycling, rugby, darts, floorball, snooker, handball, hockey, ice hockey, mixed martial arts, motorcycling, motor racing, netball, rallying, etc.
Ladbrokes offers in-play betting opportunities on several live sporting events. Sports such as baseball, football, golf, cricket, rugby, volleyball and tennis entertain in-play bets. Though all efforts are put in to make sure the quoted prices are right, live betting’s nature is such that the prices constantly change. In other words, on specific occasions, the rate could have been altered at the exact time of bet placement. The price when the bet gets accepted would be used for settling the bet.
As aforementioned, Ladbrokes leaves no stone unturned as far as sports betting is concerned. It covers almost every sport and sporting event there is. This expansive coverage makes Ladbrokes sports betting section quite a popular and busy spot on the site.
Ladbrokes expects its customers to be aware that some live feeds – be it on radio, TV, or the Internet – could get delayed. As a result, you could be seeing an event marginally ahead or behind of other users. And this is inclusive of Ladbrokes’ live streaming. A ‘delay’ is applied to all in-play bets – the exact time of delay could vary based on the actual sport. All clocks or live scores on the Ladbrokes website are only for guidance purpose.
Ladbrokes puts in all efforts possible to make sure the information presented on site is accurate. However, there are times things could be out of Ladbrokes’ control. This is probably why Ladbrokes won’t take up any liability in case the information displayed is incorrect.
You may securely withdraw and deposit funds using your debit or credit card. All major debit and credit cards such as MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, Visa Credit, Visa Debit and Visa Electron are accepted. Other ways you can deposit and withdraw money with Ladbrokes are Skrill, PayPal, Neteller, and Paysafecard. Western Union was once accepted as a payment method. However, it’s no longer an option as of July 6, 2016. Ladbrokes doesn’t accept specific card types such as Diners Card, American Express, and cards issued by countries banned by Ladbrokes. And the list of restricted territories is quite an extensive one. If you’re not located in the UK, chances are you may not be able to open a player account with Ladbrokes.
The money deposited reflects into your Ladbrokes user account almost instantly, except in the case of a bank transfer where it takes 1-5 days for the money to reflect. The funds don’t move at the same speed when it comes to withdrawals. There are no fees attached to both deposits and withdrawals. And you cannot withdraw or deposit less than £5. The maximum you can deposit is £99,999.
To make deposits, the debit/credit card holder’s details should match the Ladbrokes user information. As aforementioned, no fees are charged by Ladbrokes for depositing or withdrawing funds. That said, some credit card firms liken betting transactions to cash payments, thereby charging cash advance fees. Similar charges could apply to bank transfer withdrawals and deposits.
Are There Any Problems Regarding Withdrawals at Ladbrokes?
Though not really a problem, the funds withdrawn from your Ladbrokes account to your credit/debit card or bank account would take at least three working days to show up. However, if you’re withdrawing money to a payment gateway such as Skrill, PayPal and Neteller, it shouldn’t take that long. Though rare, the withdrawn amount may not show up in your personal account even after 10 days. This isn’t the norm, and you must get in touch with Ladbrokes customer service team if such a scenario exists.
Another negative there is to withdrawing funds from your Ladbrokes account is you cannot process withdrawals amounting to more than £30,000. There are instances when you could be asked to verify your identity for Ladbrokes to approve your withdrawal request. Such identity verification requests could come in even if you have withdrawn money from your Ladbrokes account in the past. These requests no doubt could be annoying, especially when you need the funds quickly.
The Ladbrokes betting app is available on the two most popular mobile device operating systems: Android and iOS. Windows Phone users can download the betting app too by looking up for the Ladbrokes Betting app in the store. Blackberry and other mobile device platform users shall visit m.ladbrokes.com in their mobile web browser.
Before the apps or probably alongside them, text betting was also an option. However, Ladbrokes decided to stop text betting service and support as of January 31, 2017. That move could be attributed to the fact that the sports betting company wanted to popularise its mobile app.
The Ladbrokes Android app is a handy app if you would like to do Ladbrokes betting right from your Android mobile device. To download the app, your device should be on Android 2.3 or higher.
The latest Android version not required.

Winning the Email Hero Award for Best Winback Campaign, this week we’re featuring CampSaver!
Winback campaigns are a perfect opportunity to remind inactive subscribers the benefits of an email program and hopefully re-engage subscribers. CampSaver sent their inactive subscribers a discounted offer, highlighting the top brands they sell along with individual CTAs for the top categories they sell, allowing these subscribers an easy way to take advantage of the discount with the brand or items that matter most to them.
To understand what went into this award-winning campaign, we interviewed Katherine Pachowicz, Junior Specialist, Promotions at CampSaver.
The goal of this email was to re-engage email subscribers who had not made a purchase within the last year. We offered these customers 20 percent off orders of $50 or more and featured our top categories and best-selling brands.
This email was sliced almost entirely as images which could have caused a lower inbox placement rate. Since we started working with Return Path we have been incorporating more html text into emails to increase our deliverability.
This email performed very well. It had a 14 percent open rate while other winback emails we send tend to have around an 11 open rate. The subject line mentioned there was a 20 percent off coupon inside to increase the subscribers interest in the email. The click through rate of this email was 4 percent where similar winback emails have a click through rate around 1.6 percent. We believe the minimalistic design helped to quickly catch the subscribers attention and direct them to the website. The conversion rate was also higher than average at 6 percent. Typically, coupons are offered on our Outlet items and exclude full priced merchandise. We were able to increase the conversion rate by offering a coupon for products which are rarely discounted.
Return Path’s biggest impact on our email program was helping us improve our rate limits—the proper way of communication with our biggest mailbox providers. | 2019-04-21T20:38:34 | https://blog.returnpath.com/campsaver-wins-email-hero-award-for-best-winback-campaign/ |

Home » Film » Finally, Mel Gibson Plays a Racist!
Finally, Mel Gibson Plays a Racist!
Mel Gibson finally portrays the old racist firebrand he’s been rehearsing for his entire life in Dragged Across Concrete. It’s the biggest cinematic self-own I’ve ever seen. Writer/director S. Craig Zahler insists time and time again that his films aren’t political. “My movies don’t have an ax to grind,” is the way he usually puts it. So I guess he just accidentally spent years of his life writing and directing this right-wing trollfest? I’m sure Zahler was completely bewildered when he needed to cast an old racist firebrand and Gibson just happened to walk by at that exact moment with nothing else to do that day. Yes, Dragged Across Concrete just so happened to stumble over political correctness and “owning the libs” broke its fall. 100% believable.
The joke is on Zahler. Casting Gibson, an actor often accused of being a bigot, to play an accused bigot was clearly meant to elicit a “Wow, I can’t believe he just said that!” reaction. Precisely the opposite happens. I actually feel more comfortable watching Gibson co-star as a burned-out detective who plans to rob a drug deal when he gets suspended after video of his violent arrest of a Hispanic suspect goes viral. “Being labeled a racist in America today is like being called a communist in the 50s,” his sergeant warns him. There’s got to be three dozen other lines like that in the movie, which is why it’s impossible to believe Zahler doesn’t know exactly what he’s doing. Most of those lines come from Gibson, and they cover just about every right-wing troll adage you see in the comments section underneath Captain Marvel trailers.
Vince Vaughn is in the movie, too. He’s another suspended cop who plans a heist with Gibson; however, since most of the movie takes place in a parked car while the partners stakeout their target, he basically just sits there to give the old man a cloud at which to rant. Vaughn’s only big moment in this nearly 3-hour trudge is one long, unbroken take of his character eating an entire sandwich. I’m amazed the sound crew somehow managed to actually stick a microphone down Vaughn’s throat so you could listen to every lip smack and swoosh of saliva for a solid 4 minutes. Vaughn is by no means “bad,” but all his presence does is get in the way of Tory Kittle’s subplot, which probably should have been the focus of Dragged Across Concrete in the first place.
Kittles plays the only character who seems like a real person, and his subplot feels like heavier stakes than detectives just sitting around. It feels like the movie is trying to force a scene-stealer on us. Or what it thinks is a scene stealer, I guess? It gets worse when the movie’s other grand attempt at shock value is almost as lame as Gibson himself.
Zahler’s previous film, the graphic prison fight movie Brawl in Cellblock 99, is one of my all-time favorites. In Zahler’s mind, I’m sure Dragged Across Concrete is an attempt to tell a much more “mature” story, with commentary and stuff. Stay in the pocket, buddy. You’re really, really good at movies about guys in prison who snap limbs and crush heads. Next time you have an ax to grind, maybe just shut up. | 2019-04-26T04:22:07 | https://thereader.com/film/draggedacrossconcretereview |

Written by Kate McDonald on 10 November 2015 .
A Senate committee has recommended that the bill enabling opt-out trials for the PCEHR and a change of name to My Health Record be passed by the upper house.
The Health Legislation Amendment (eHealth) Bill 2015 passed the lower house with bipartisan support last month but it was recommended that the Senate conduct a brief inquiry into some of the privacy and security ramifications of the legislation.
The Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee received 12 submissions on the bill, including from the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), the Australian Medical Association (AMA) and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), along with an extensive submission from the Department of Health.
While the committee took into account factors such as privacy concerns over the opt-out model and two other inquiries currently looking at the legislation, it recommended that the bill be passed.
In its submission, the OAIC recommended that before any decision was made to apply the opt-out model nationally, an independent privacy impact assessment (PIA) should be conducted. As the Department of Health points out, one already has.
The only other recommendation is that the Department of Health consider the OAIC's views on privacy when developing the public awareness campaign for the opt-out trials, which are due to start next year.
Health Minister Sussan Ley recently announced that the trials will be held in far north Queensland and the Nepean Blue Mountains regions of NSW. Pulse+IT submitted extensive questions about the trials to the Department of Health last week but has not yet received a response.
The bill is likely to be passed by the Senate in the current sitting. | 2019-04-24T06:46:23 | https://www.pulseitmagazine.com.au/news/australian-ehealth/2768-senate-committee-recommends-passage-of-pcehr-opt-out-bill |
CommonDreams: Grand Canyon in the Crosshairs?
A mining company, Energy Fuels Resources, is seeking to reopen a uranium mine; a proposed tramway would take tourists from new commercial sites to the canyon’s floor, and the nearby town of Tusayan, Ariz., is proposing 2,000 homes, 3 million square feet of commercial space, a spa, and a dude ranch.
We urge you to reject Tusayan's application for a special use permit and to put a halt to any more "development" at the Grand Canyon.

The term abdominal surgery broadly covers surgical procedures that involve opening the abdomen. Surgery of each abdominal organ is dealt with separately in connection with the description of that organ (stomach, kidney, liver, etc.) Diseases affecting the abdominal cavity are dealt with generally under their own names (e.g. appendicitis).The three most common abdominal surgeries are described below.Exploratory Laparotomy -- This refers to the opening of the abdominal cavity for direct examination of its contents, for example, to locate a source of bleeding or trauma. Appendectomy -- Surgical opening of the abdominal cavity and removal of the appendix. Typically performed as definitive treatment for appendicitis, although sometimes the appendix is prophylactically removed incidental to another abdominal procedure.Laparoscopy -- A minimally invasive approach to abdominal surgery where rigid tubes are inserted through small incisions into the abdominal cavity. The tubes allow introduction of a small camera, surgical instruments, and gases into the cavity for direct or indirect visualization and treatment of the abdomen. | 2019-04-20T01:34:35 | http://www.yohyoh.com/health/online-doctor/info/surgical-procedures/Abdominal-surgery/1 |
I am pretty nervous about posting this blog post, actually very hesitant to share these pictures. I changed my mind about sharing the pictures about 50 times and settled with not sharing them. But I had to remind myself that this was my point of starting a blog, sharing honest progress photos along with skincare products I test. Whether it be to be helpful to people with acne scars, ladies who suffer from PCOS, anyone who has lived with blemish prone skin or beauties who want to know more about certain skincare products before splashing the cash that was my vision for starting this blog.
These are my up close & personal before, after and the morning after of my Derminator treatment. These pictures leave no flaw hidden. Actually, I have left them untouched other than bringing up the brightness. Yes I have horrible skin and it’s very problematic, it’s work in the progress. Yes, I have facial hair, lots of it actually, that really I should’ve thought about removing before I took these pictures but this is something I struggle with because of my PCOS. I could’ve photoshopped my facial hair out but I wanted to leave these as untouched as possible so you can see my real and true results.
For the longest time, I was in two minds about purchasing an at home derma needling tool. I had seen, read and heard of the amazing results people have had by doing derma needling but when it comes to anything that may make me bleed I don’t trust myself not to faint at the sight of a red blood dot.
That and the fact that if I use the derma needling in a wrong way I could 1. cause some permanent damage to my skin; 2. spend loads on going to a specialist to try to fix my mistakes or; 3. decide it’s too painful and never use it again. Option three is more likely since it’s a bit of my MO and my husband is extremely familiar with this. Being the amazing man he is, he never reminds me of those times, he’s always like cool let me check out what you’ve done.
When I make up my mind to do something I tend to go all in, there is no in between it’s either I jump in with both feet or nothing at all. It makes no sense but that’s how I roll. Come to think of it, that may also explain the reasons for my skincare stash.
So why did I decide to go for an electronic device rather than a handheld version I could control more manually and be able to take breaks if needed? Well, that answer has a lot to do with me going all in. With the electronic version, I can’t chicken out as quickly. Plus this was highly recommended by some beauties on Instagram. Instagram is my go to place for information, there are ladies and gentlemen that are way more knowledgeable than I am and share their personal experiences.
Before I got started my procedure I did a gentle double cleanse to make sure all the gunk was gone before I started to needling my face. For the first cleanse I used Neogen’s Calendula Cleansing water and then followed it up with Natio’s Gentle Foaming Cleanser, no Forero or Clarisonic use. I didn’t use a towel to dry my skin, I gently patted my face and let air dry as I set everything up.
Worth noting, I didn’t use any acids or any heavy hitting skincare products for about 5 days before.
My skin was pretty red and felt a little warm after, but I did not have any bleeding, which I was expecting. Now, I didn’t use any numbing cream, I have heard of people using a numbing cream before doing a derma needling session. Maybe in future I will but I’m nowhere near that stage yet.
The areas I avoided were my nose, my lip line and below my jawline. Maybe after using it another few times I may try to go a little lower since I do have some scarring below my jawline from past cystic acne.
I had a small cluster of breakouts on my left cheek area so I avoided going directly into that area and instead went around it. If memory serves me right, I believe I might have read somewhere not to derma needle any breakout spots.
After I completed my session I rinsed my face with warm water and again let it air dry to avoid any cross contamination from a towel or washcloth.
Once my skin was dry I spread a layer of Infadolan (pictured below) on my face. This product is an ointment that helps accelerate wound healing, You can find more information about this from OwnDoc’s website.
After the Infadolan was applied it felt really soothing on my skin, I left it on for about 30 minutes before applying the Elions Cosmeceuticals Copper Peptide Intensive Mask (sheet mask).
This mask felt so incredibly nice on my skin after the derma needling session. My skin felt a little warm but after applying this sheet mask it felt cooling and refreshing on my face.
The mask was soaked in essence and had loads left in the pouch to apply after you remove the mask. It didn’t have a scent and the material is very soft and fits beautifully on my huge face!
The sheet mask has the eye covers that you can apply over your eyes for an extra treatment. I didn’t apply them because I was reading a book while I had this on, but none the less it’s there if you want that extra care.
Happy Skincare Over The Moon moisturiser (if you’d like to read my review about the Happy Skincare line you can click here.
As you can see the morning after my skin was still fairly red and looking a little sunburnt. I made sure to plan my session on a Friday night and I didn’t leave the house or go outside for a few days. When I did go out later in the week I made sure to apply SPF every single place I could.
My skincare steps consisted of the same thing from the night before minus the sheet mask. I did apply the Infadolan ointment one more time and that’s the last time I’ve used it for that session.
If you’d like to read my detailed review on The Derminator you can click here. I’m releasing both of these blog posts at the same time so you can read both if you’re interested. I will warn you it’s a long post, so you may want to do a double mask session.
I liked this, I feel my skincare has been extra productive since doing this treatment. Whether that is because my skin is repairing itself from the session, the skincare products are penetrating deeper into my skin or a combination of both; I feel like my skin has really benefited from this session.
I’m planning to use this every 6 weeks with a rotating plan of at home peels, derma stamping and my PMD.
Have you tried any type of derma needling procedures in the past? Are you thinking of trying a derma needling tool? I’d love to hear any information you’d like to share.
Don’t rinse your Face after Treatment. Leave it for a few hours. Blood and Cellliquids contain PRP.
Oh really? Thanks for the tip. I’ll look into it for my next session, which is due in a couple of weeks.
I just bought the derminator. I am 59 years old with no real skin issues other than I am aging. My son has acne scars and in a way I was testing the machine out to see if this might be a good fit for him. It was painful, not terrible, but certainly got my attention at .5 needle length. How are you doing with the machine. Have you seen a reduction in your acne scars?
Hi Madeline, I’m curious to see how the Derminator has been treating you! Are you a fan or not so much?
I need to do another session next weekend because I was getting such great results but it’s been a few months since I’ve used it last.
Hi there, I have been using the Derminator sporadically for the last 7 months and have seen a huge difference in the quality and refinement of my skin. I am 40 and suffered from cystic acne since age 12. I have / had severe scarring and tried multiple laser, chemical, and (64) punch excisions, Accutane 4 times, nothing works as well as the Derminator and Retin-A. Good luck!!
And using the suction device from the Owndoc site. I read a study where maximum needling results were achieved by doing suction every day from day 3-10.
WOW! You are into a great routine to work on your skin concerns! I’d love to know about your progress pictures and the amount of time it’s taken you to get the different results. I love hearing and learning from others!
I started using the Derminator in about June 2017. I have learned a ton! For instance my skin sees the greatest improvements if I hit the same scar from multiple angles using a single needle. I’ve also experimented with going different depths like 1.75 and .50 immediately afterward.
Hi Lisa, I am a laser victim and got some indents from the laser so I also plan to use Derminator and single needling for the scars. May I know further about ‘multiple angles using a single needle’. By Multiple angles, do you point the needle vertically straight or forming 45 degrees angle? Do you single needle on top of the scar or leave the derminator for it because I also plan to do longer single needle then followed by 0.5 derminator all over the scars. Lastly, do you single needle from the outer area of the scar then the edge of the scar? Sorry for the many questions but it’s really devastating when your once not so problematic skin got more scars from a laser procedure.
Can you explain how you do your own subcision? Where do you buy your needles and what are the steps? Do you have pictures? Thank you!
Hi Soph, thanks so much for your review with pictures. It’s very relieving to get some recent reviews of the Derminator. How are you going? Have you got into the next treatment?
Hi Jennifer! Thank you for your comment 🙂 I was going to do a new Derminator treatment last week but I received my Foreo UFO device so I’ve been testing that little baby out!
I’ll be doing a new treatment and video soon because I want to try to use some of my hyaluronic acid serum to see if it the Derminator glides easier on my skin and try to make the depth a bit deeper. Fingers crossed I can handle going into a deeper depth! | 2019-04-24T06:42:06 | https://www.myskincarereality.com/derminator-progress-pictures/ |
I had a confusing conversation with a Californian yesterday in which I repeatedly used the term "party store" while discussing my recent visit to Flint. I was trying to describe the huge role party stores played for Flint residents thirsty for beer and wine, especially teenagers. He thought Flintoids had an unhealthy attachment to wrapping paper.
So how far does the party store label extend outside of Flint? Something tells me they don't use the term in Grand Rapids. I'm hoping some misguided grad student in linguistics wrote a dissertation on this, but I'd settle for any info from readers.
Anonymous said...Does anyone recall the party store about one block N/E of Dayton and Brownell? It was a real whole in the wall. They had multiple dobermans in the back to keep the riff-raff out. I can't believe I had the guts to go in there as a little girl. I don't think I would have the courage to go now.
geewhy said...I vaguely remember this place. Was it sort of nestled in with all the houses? For some reason I never ventured in that direction, although we used to ride our bikes to the Fair store and that mall on Clio Road for a real adventure.
Smurfs Inc. said...The party store on Dartmouth and Kellar? It was still open 10 years ago and if I recall correctly had the best/worst mural of Malcolm X, MLK, and Mike Tyson on the Seneca side!?! Classic party store art only topped by the black Bart Simpson proclaiming "We Accept Food Stamps Dude" above the door of the old Lapeer Rd. Market. I've always been a fan of side street party stores. Cain's Party Store on Ohio, Avenue A Market, Brown Street Market, the aforementioned Dartmouth Market, the crazy old lawn care/beer store on Cornelia, and a particularly seedy one on York and North were personal favorites. At one time during the mid 90s the intersection of Chevrolet and Welch featured 3 party stores. Mounir's Drive-Thru and TWO in the Baskin-Robbins plaza across the street... man I loved those store fronts.
oakparkmark said...Kathy -- tell your hubby that Oak Park has joined the ranks of civilized towns like Flint where you can get a gallon milk and beer at the same place. I moved to Oak Park from Flint 20 years ago, and was appalled at the lack of alcohol availability. Now, beer and wine are available in grocery stores. But the concept of a party store isn't likely to catch on. People here don't "party." They work and then anesthetize themselves.
They most assuredly call 'em party stores in Big GR. Rau's Party Store on S. Division was one of the greatest malt liquor dispensaries ever. I've seen "party store" used in northern Ohio and the Indiana part of Michiana but not much farther. Dunno if "party stores" extend into the UP. As you might expect there is an actual "party shoppe" in Ann Arbor.
...and would you mind bagging it in a Hamady Sack?
Grew up downriver, where there is a "Party store" on every corner.
yup. I've gotten into the "party store" coversation too in CA.
All I said was, "I'm going to get a pop at the party store." Isn't that perfectly clear?
In the market research part of the consumer packaged goods industry, c-store is the proper term. When I first started, I was thinking, what the hell is a c-store? Oh, they mean party store. I refuse to use c-store as a sub for party store.
Out in NYC, they're called bodegas.
As a 30+ year resident of marquette County, I can confirm that when a yooper wants beer dey go party store eh.
Living in Indianapolis, I haven't visited a party store since leaving Flint. I also haven't been served a coney by a gum chewing waitress sporting a hair-net since leaving town.
I believe the party store that started this thread was probably Jerry Raymonds place on Dartmouth at Brownell (next to the barber shop). I think it was called Raymonds (something).
I'm wondering if the "party store" handle came into being around the same time "party" (or par-tay) became commonly used as a verb as in "let's party" or "partying too much"? To me, "party" as a verb (or a store) conjures up the notion of indulgence in intoxicating beverages or other substances, not cake and balloons.
i never realized that others would think a party store was for decorations and such, a flint idiom that i didn't recognize.
in our neighborhood we had brown street market which was a real hole with slanted wood floors and mdse. crammed in every corner.
we also had 'mary's sunshine dairy' which was a drive thru party store with service to your car.
then in the 70's at corunna and ballenger they built a stop-n-go, which after a couple of hold ups gained the name stop-n-rob which my mom still uses to refer to any party store.
The south end (Fenton Rd) Sal's party store was my place for loading up on candy and pop when I was playing around the "Cody Bowl" across the street...then, it was called Bond and Garrets. Later, when it was called, Sal and Terrys I loaded up on beer and other serious liquids. jbing50... how about Cal's party store and for ribbons and balloons Party World in Harvey.
I yearn for a "Sunshine Dairy" where I live. How often I just need milk and eggs and don't want to drag the kids to the store. A smart mom must have come up with that idea.
Hey Anon, Cal's is the place for Southside Marquette. My personal favorite is "the Spot" on the Eastside. It's one of the last of the small corner stores, nicely tucked into a residential neighborhood. There was a little store like that in Flint near Kentucky and Franklin where I lived for a bit in my college days. I don't remember the name of it. Anybody?
Heddy's Market was at the corner of Nebraska and Franklin.
I drove by Heddy's in June. Still open, I think. Last time I was there was with Eric Curran, who lived nearby, in about 1979.
Man, I haven't thought of those Mary's Sunshine Dairies in years. I could always get my dad to pull into one, but my mom would only rarely stop because she said they were more expensive than going to Hamady's, A&P or Kroger and other pre-Meijer places. I remember them being all over the place, but I at the moment am picturing one across from St. Luke's & Wayside Inn on Pasadena, somewhere East of Lawndale.
jbing50- When I was a kid playing little league at Kearsley one. We would head for Heddy's mkt on the corner of Nebraska and Franklin to slake our thirst. This was in the fifties and Ed Krupa was the directer there. That store was the only watering hole at that time. Ya, Party World did fold some years ago. I segued for comparison. unclebuck.
Can't remember the name of the tiny party store on Fleming near Pasadena but us tough guys from St.Lukes elementary in the mid 60's would frequent the store for goodies and to stare Jerry the owners wife!!She was a beautiful blond and very attentive to our sweet tooth.Any way we left St Lukes to attend ST Mikes HS, never going back to the store but about 5yrs later some guys went in to rob the place- shut Jerry the owner in the walkin cooler for their getaway,big mistake Jerry kept a loaded rifle in there came out and shot and killed 2 men.This would have taken place approx 1971.Any one remember Jerry's wife's name? | 2019-04-22T05:58:34 | http://www.flintexpats.com/2009/08/party-store-linguistics.html |

I recorded this a couple weeks ago during the Solfest. Solfest is a yearly gathering sponsored by Real Goods and the Solar Living Institute, it focuses on solar energy, off the grid living, appropriate technology, and much more. This was my first time attending the Solfest and I had a great time. The episode is pretty long but it covers a lot of things.
SolFest http://www.solarliving.org/display.asp?catid=17 -- SolFest is the world’s premier two-day celebration of renewable energy and sustainable living. Since SolFest was born in 1996 over 100,000 people have learned how to change the world while having fun. Each summer SolFest transforms the rural hamlet of Hopland, California, into the global epicenter of green living.
Solar Living Institute http://www.solarliving.org/ -- "mission is to promote sustainable living through inspirational environmental education. The Institute provides practical, education by example and hands-on workshops on renewable energy, green building, sustainable living, permaculture, organic gardening and alternative, environmental, construction methods."
I made a few blog posts about the Solfest 2008 as well as found some interesting companies and other web resources.

Climate Code Red -- http://www.7gen.com/website/climate-change/24879-climate-code-red -- A book making the case that our climate is at an utmost emergency crisis state. CODE RED EVERYBODY DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
Grid Beam -- http://www.7gen.com/website/grid-beam/24872-grid-beam -- It's a very interesting idea for rapidly constructing things like furniture, shelves, beds, electric cars, or nearly anything else. Sol Man -- http://www.7gen.com/website/solar-electricity/24860-sol-man -- offered a very interesting portable solar power station, built using grid beam technology.

David Blume, Alcohol Can be a Gas, at SolFest 2008 -- http://www.7gen.com/blog/20080829/24851-ethanol -- An amazingly interesting talk about using Ethanol as a fuel to power cars, airplanes, etc. The guy was phenomenal, had a lot of eye-opening things to say about the subject, to show how ethanol production isn't about food diversion but the food diversion story is more of an oil industry scam, etc. He's written a book, Alcohol Can Be a Gas!: Fueling an Ethanol Revolution for the 21st Century that goes into this deeply.
She is not a professional journalist but came into being a talk show host & author from her desire to tell the story of green living. She got her start through finding a newly started radio station on which she could buy radio time. Over some time she'd built up a body of work that allowed her to build her career to a bigger scale. Now she podcasts, appears on a couple radio stations, writes articles for magazines, etc.
Management has specific goals -- to get advertising because it's advertising that pays the bills and satisfies managements duty to the shareholders. Over the history of mass media they've learned that "Tension" sells advertising. This is why journalists are always looking for the controversy and it seems that they sometimes create controversy where it doesn't exist.

Hey guys! New to the forum, hope this is the right spot for the question... I recently acquired a 2015 Suzuki RMZ 250, with less than 4hrs on it. Unfortunately it didn't come with the additional EFI couplers (rich/lean). I want to purchase them but having trouble finding them. On the "ELECTRICAL" schematics for the bike, I believe number 18 is the part location, but not sure if that is just one of the two additional couplers that are supposed to come with the bike? Or is it both if I order that part number? Is that even the right part? I can't find a description of the parts, and this forum seems to be the best source of information, so fingers crossed that you guys understand and can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!! | 2019-04-22T02:18:17 | https://thumpertalk.com/forums/topic/1238625-efi-couplers/ |
Finished with such a high degree of quality, this model would make a proud interior display. Precise in every detail from its form to coloring, a total sense of realism is recreated in a palmtop size tank. While built to an interior display standard, control of movement is at your fingertips through your smartphone. Forward/reverse movement, sharp turning, and pivot turning are all freely controllable. In addition, cannon and machine-gun sound effects add to the realistic atmosphere. Control the tank through the newly developed i-driver app and Bluetooth that allows up to 8 tanks to be controlled at the same time. Engage in coordinated tank maneuvers with your friends. 1 smartphone can be paired with 8 different tanks so simultaneous coordinated control is also possible. Download the control app from the App Store or Google Play and complete the first pairing in a web environment and authenticate. This prevents other duplicate control from other smartphones. The GUI control panel provides easy and intuitive control. Four buttons are used to move forward/reverse and control left track and right tracks independently, making it easy for anyone to pivot turn the tank in its own tracks. The one-hand mode allows forward/reverse and left/right pivot turning control with just one finger. The increasingly popular Pocket Armor R/C has been enhanced with newly formulated material for the caterpillar tracks that produces even greater stability. Kyosho recreates the formidable presence of the M1A2 Abrams as this tank powers up and over gradual slopes to steep inclines of 45°.
Newly developed idriver system provides control through your smartphone.
Compatible smartphone, tablet / iPhone (4S or later), iPad (3rd generation or later), iPod Touch (5th generation or later). Android compatible. | 2019-04-20T18:43:37 | https://www.rocousa.com/Kyosho_69050C_Abrams_M1A2_BlackGreen_Camo_Tank |

Me & my husband were hanging pictures in our new condo, when we put a nail through the wall. Hot water starting spraying everywhere.

Are you looking for a dreamy escape with your family? Something luxurious, for both the adults and the kids? This compilation of resorts in Georgia will introduce you to mountain, beach and city stays that will have you making memories together to last a lifetime.
Here are 25 of our favorite resorts – where do you love to stay, and what’s on your bucket list?
1,100 acres in the Georgia countryside make the perfect escape for your family. New accommodations on property range from one-bedroom traditional rooms with private porches and gorgeous views, to larger 2- & 3-bedroom lake villas with full kitchens and grand balconies. Feel like splurging? Rent one of the 4-bedroom cottages with a fireplace in the great room, ideal for two families, or try one of the eight-bedroom luxury homes for large parties.
16 lakes for paddleboarding, canoeing, and kayaking will keep you busy, and don’t miss hiking! There’s also tennis, golf, swimming pools, and a sports lawn. I know our family would love the guided ATV tours!
The outdoor sportsman will adore Foxhall, home of one of the first Beretta Trident Clays Courses in the country. There’s also foxhalling, sporting clays, fishing trips, archery…and that’s just the beginning.
Foxhall Resort’s Signature Restaurant is The Paddock Restaurant. Enjoy farm-to-table dining with succulent selections like wild boar, duck or bison, while overlooking the polo fields.
Rolling hills and glorious views welcome you to this 36-acre farm south of the city. Experience a play from Serenbe Playhouse, take in the farm from horseback, walk the labyrinth or relax at the pool. Rent bikes, take a hayride, enjoy a bonfire…the outdoor activities are endless. Be sure to reserve dinner at the Farmhouse and/or afternoon tea, Southern style.
27 rooms on the property range from townhomes and lofts in the “luxury boho” community district to cottages of all sizes dotted across the farm. Be sure to check the website for seasonal packages.
Valhalla reigns as Helen’s newest accommodation, with a bit of modern luxury juxtaposing the Alpine charm of this North Georgia town. Ask about rooms with a balcony, fireplace or that welcome pets. This resort is best when you have a sitter, as it doesn’t cater to children. But with the kids at Grandma’s house you’re sure to enjoy a romantic getaway with the full-service spa, outdoor swimming pool, and Innsbruck Golf Club.
Multiple size suites are available, or select the on-property bungalows or villas for larger parties or more privacy. Dine onsite at Celedonia, and be sure to enjoy a cocktail at the Roof Top SkyBar.
I barely have words to describe how incredible a visit to this all-inclusive private island resort will be for your family! It’s a Top 10 Georgia experience in my book; the natural beauty of the island puts me in a trance – it’s like a story book. Biking and beach time, shore fishing, boating on a skiff or kayak, and oh the adventures with the naturalists! With a maximum of 32 guests at a time, you get plenty of one-on-one time learning about everything the island offers.
Meals are included…and how wonderful they are. The food prepared each mealtime is not your ordinary “hotel” food – it is DELICIOUS, creative and fresh! Many of the fruits and veggies come from the on-site USDA certified organic garden, which I recommend touring!
Five accommodation options dot the island, each with different benefits from the affordable Hunting Lodge room to the captivating Helen House.
The Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island was a present from Lucy Carnegie, wife of the lesser known steel magnate Thomas Carnegie, to her daughter Margaret Ricketson. The Carnegie decedents are the original and only owners of the The Greyfield Inn. They turned it into a hotel in the early 60’s and still manage it today.
This all-inclusive inn does allow children 7 and older to stay, but you’ll probably be more comfortable visiting as a couple. If you want to bring the family, there is a single suite at the inn, and adjoining rooms also…or you can ask for a roll-away bed.
Rates include your rooms and suites, ferry ride, meals, bikes, equipment and tours. Remember, there are no stores on Cumberland but there’s no need with the resort’s garden and delicious meals.
Lake Blackshear Resort sits in Middle Georgia, with beautiful views of the lake created from the Flint River. Cypress trees and Spanish moss dot the edges of the lake, creating a spectacular view from the resort. With the proximity within Ga Veterans State Park and the SAM Shortline, this is a relaxing and memorable place to bring the family for vacation.
Enjoy a standard hotel room at the Lodge, a villa or 2-bedroom cabin with kitchen. Dining and activities in the park and resort mean you never have to leave.
Rooms at this mountain/lake resort were just renovated in March of 2018 and they are gorgeous! Choose from standards, suites or villas. Villas range from 2-4 bedrooms with full kitchens and patios. The draw here is not the rooms, though, but the views. Sit in the courtyard with a bonfire, seeing the fog rise over Lake Chatuge.
Bring your boat to the full service marina, or rent a kayak, canoe or pontoon boat while you’re there. Water activities include pier fishing (poles included;) ski boat, flyboard, or jet-ski lessons with Mountain Wake Cable Park; or soak up the rays at the saltwater pool. Off-site, Hiawassee is filled with plenty of fun, as well.
Don’t miss dining at The Oaks Lakeside Kitchen, with delicious food and stunning mountain views.
You’ll find plenty of dining options onsite, character meets, story time and more. We hope to give you the scoop later this year, but in the mean time, check out our Great Wolf Lodge NC post for plenty of Great Wolf tips you can use in Georgia, too.
Kingwood sits in the mountains of Clayton, featuring the golf courses but offering much more. Rooms range from the Inn to 2- & 3-bedroom condos to rental homes. The condos boast a fireplace and large porch, Jacuzzi and covered parking.
You’ll be right at home if golf is your game or you can enjoy the other amenities, including a fitness center, tennis or pickle ball, an indoor or outdoor swimming pool, or river rafting. See the Kingwood waterfall, and then hit the spa with hot tub, facial and massage services, and more.
Don’t miss the Fireside Lounge or the rustic yet charming Main Dining Room overlooking the 9th hole.
You’ll enjoy ocean-side dining, direct beach access, and unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean. You’re only one mile from the pier and light station. Marlin Monroe’s, the on-site restaurant and bar, is a super spot for oyster roasts and live entertainment.
St Simon’s Island is home to this trifecta that includes Sea Gate Inn, Ocean Lodge, and Sea Palms Resort (which is also the name of the property that manages all three locations.) Rooms range from deluxe standards with Florida rooms to 4-bedroom suites with full kitchens and large decks.
Amenities for all three resorts includes 27 holes of championship golf, tennis on clay tennis courts, two fitness centers, an oversized club swimming pool with private cabanas and tiki bar plus entry to the highly rated Public House restaurant and lounge. You can also enjoy biking, horseshoes and volleyball, footgolf, beach access and more.
You probably know The Dillard House for their famous restaurant, featuring delicious Southern cooking. Did you know that you could overnight here as well? Try a room at the Dillard House Inn, quaint cottages designed specifically for families, secluded cabins or the Rock House rooms in the original Dillard House. They offer romantic and family-friendly chalets just off-site also, nestled romantically in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
At The Dillard House you and the family can enjoy horseback riding, lounging at the pool or in the jacuzzi, playing tennis, walking the trails, rocking on the front porch, fishing in the trout ponds, and so much more. They are also happy to set you up at Kingwood Spa, only 8 miles away, in Clayton.
Although the Jekyll Ocean Club is owned by the same folks that own the Historic Jekyll Island Club Hotel, this is no throwback to yesteryear. This newest edition sits right on the beach! And…it’s an ALL SUITE hotel. The King Suite includes a King bed with fold-out sofa, family living space and a private ocean view balcony. The Queen Double Suite is the same, with two beds in the private living area.
Plan to spend a weekend exploring Stone Mountain Park, with the Marriott as your perfect home-base oasis. Ask for a lakefront room, so you wake to a glorious view from which to enjoy your coffee.
My boys love the pool and oversized chess set. Mom and Dad will love the spa and golf course! The Commons outdoor patio is a splendid place for a drink and view of the Mountain, or head into Stonewall’s Lounge for some pool and burgers.
Jekyll Island, once home to America’s privileged politicians, businessmen, socialites and such, was the perfect place to create an exclusive social club for wealthy Americans. Construction of the private club began in 1886, and the private and elite playground lasted well into WWII before dissolving.
Today, you can experience a taste of that family –friendly luxury . Whether you are after architectural highlights, history or fun, you will love a visit to this Georgia treasure. We even have a few discounts for your next stay.
Callaway Resort truly allows you to escape, with something new and exciting every season of the year. Stay at the newly renovated Callaway Resort Lodge & Spa, the Inn or in one of several cottages.
In addition to the garden, you’ll enjoy the spa, golfing, hiking and biking, and so much more. There are events galore, TreeTop Adventure, a spectacular beach for summer, and one of the world’s best holiday experiences.
Nestled in the North Georgia Mountains, Brasstown Valley offers relaxation and comfort from the business of life. Enjoy rooms with a fireplace, perfect for snuggling in winter, or with a balcony for enjoying a breezy summer day.
Activities include horseback riding, swimming in the pool, golf and the spa. Want to bring the kids? They will love the arts and crafts, ping-pong table and video games at the Emporium.
There is also tennis, over eight miles of forested hiking trails, fishing, and more opportunities in the vacinity.
For many Atlanta area families, The Cloister at Sea Island has been a muti-generational destination for decades. For those of us that didn’t grow up in Georgia, it’s a beach resort along the Georgia coast our native neighbors seem to revere.
Accommodations at this Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond Resort range from guest rooms, to suites and private cottages. The rooms are larger than normal by 100-200 square feet.
The best part of a stay at the Cloister is the Beach Club. You enter through a hallway with gift shop, candy store and 1950’s era soda fountain, past Southern Tide restaurant, to a grand area with three pools including an adult only lap pool, two family pools – one with zero entry, splash fountain, baby pool and hot tub.
The King and Prince Resort on St. Simons Island Ga., is the only hotel that is right on the St. Simons Island beach. With several pools, indoor and outdoor dining at Echo, tennis, golf, and a variety of accommodation types, the King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort is one of Sue’s favorite St. Simons Island Hotels.
The Inn at Sea Island is part of the Sea Island Resort family that includes The Cloister at Sea Island and The Lodge, both Forbes Five Star properties. Although The Inn at Sea Island is not a Forbes Five Star recipient, a stay at The Inn is quite comfortable and affords guests access to many of the amenities available at Sea Island’s luxury properties located just minutes away.
New in 2018 is the The Inn at Barnsley Resort which was designed to complement those amazing cottage’s that make up the resort’s English-inspired village. Guests can relax in their rooms or the expansive Living Room gathering area that features a grand staircase and fireplace as focal points.
Imagine rolling vineyards and stately rooms in an Inn fit for a queen (or king!) That is the winery resort of Chateau Elan, in Braselton. We love the packages here, from Culinary Tours to Bed & Breakfast Escapes.
Want to enjoy something truly special? Book a room in a Spa or Golf Villa, with dinner and breakfast included.
Oceanfront guest rooms with new, modern amenities make the Westin a delight to stay at. Pets are welcome in select rooms, and there is always something for kids. Enjoy the zero-entry pool, and kids-eat-free packages.
The rustic and elegant Ritz-Carlton, Reynolds Lake Oconee, is best known for its five championship golf courses and world-class luxurious spa. But here’s what you may not know – it’s the best resort for families in all of Georgia.
From the spacious suites to the outdoor activities and from the ample amenities to the dining options, Reynolds Plantation lives up to the Ritz-Carlton name with their attention to detail and superb customer satisfaction — even for the youngest of customers.
Much like the Westin Jekyll Island, you receive all the comforts of the Westin brand like the Spa, Fitness Studio and RUNWestin perks. You’re also in the ideal location to explore what Savannah has to offer.
Perhaps the most unique feature is the on-site 2.1 mile Road Course – it’s for group events, not individual use…but seeing the Road Course in use is a special treat.

Fall is here! The weather is getting cooler, the sweaters are getting thicker. That can only mean one thing - binge-watching season is here! And if you have watched every single dance movie and show currently available on Netflix, there's more: You can now cuddle up on the couch with your best dance friend for "Dancing Queen," a new series featuring RuPaul's Drag Race star Alyssa Edwards.
The show, which dropped yesterday, revolves around Justin Johnson, AKA Alyssa Edwards, and his life as a performer and dancer. The documentary series follows his life in Mesquite, Texas after his stints on Season 5 and All Stars Season 2 of Drag Race. The cameras get up close and personal as he weaves through dance gigs, drag gigs, family drama, and dating - a lifestyle all dancers can identify with!
Edwards heads up a competitive dance team called Beyond Belief Dance Company, and the series follows him through all of the necessary preparations for an intense season. Any dancer - or Dance Moms fan! - knows that there's plenty of drama that goes along with that, as they get to glimpse behind the scenes and see how his huge personality is like when offstage. | 2019-04-20T00:42:45 | https://cdn.danceplug.com/dish/new-netflix-series-stars-rupauls-drag-race-alum |

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), has the greatest prevalence rate among all leukemias. A significant limitation of both the existing staging systems for CLL is that they do not allow for reliable prediction of the rate of disease progression, or which patients are likely to respond to specific treatment. This work shows that the global DNA methylation index is a prognostic market for CLL, which can predict disease progression and response to specific therapies.
Hypermethylation contributes to disease progression by suppressing apoptosis and increasing cell proliferation through silencing of tumor suppressor genes. Higher levels of DNA methylation are a predictor of more rapid CLL progression, and indicate that the patient is likely to require systemic therapy. Early clinical studies show that DNA methylation levels are predictive of a favorable clinical response to treatment by DNA methylation inhibitors. Determination of global DNA methylation levels can be combined with other prognostic approaches to CLL, including determination of methylation of specific tumor suppressor genes, expression level of specific biomarkers (Zap-70, CD38), detection of specific microRNAs, or presence of chromosomal alterations.
CLL is the most commonly diagnosed form of adult leukemia in the Western world, accounting for up to 35% of all adult leukemias. This technology provides an approach to predict which patients require aggressive treatment and response to specific therapies.
Patent applications have been filed and are pending in the United States, Europe, and Japan. This technology is part of an active and ongoing research program. It is available either for developmental research support or licensing.

Wikipedians need a reliable and accurate API for querying page views for articles. This epic describes the steps that need to be taken to build such an API. Initially, this epic will focus on the underlying infrastructure (e.g. kafka/hadoop) that needs to be built for this purpose. This Epic is definitely not finished and will be expanded with more requirements about the front end as the back end work progresses.

Not so long ago, I wrote a post about an email roll-up service called Unroll.me. At that time, I thought it was GREAT!
1. Has the company hidden the end use of the data in obscure terms and conditions?
2. Do you think that once your data is sold ‘for marketing purposes’ that it just sits there? It doesn’t. Data brokers specialize in matching and selling data. Your so called anonymized data can then be used by the data broker in DIFFERENT manner to the manner you initially consented to. E.g. it could be provided to a health insurance agency, or a credit agency and have secondary effects on insurance or credit applications.
3. How secure are the servers that your data is kept on? How reputable are the companies buying your data and selling your data?
4. What did you consent to originally? In the case of unroll.me, the purpose for allowing them access to your email was to roll up emails, not to trawl through and mine your data for onselling purposes.
5. Just because companies already have data on us, does that mean we should feel happy giving them more?
6. If anonymizing data is not done properly, it’s possible to re-identify people in an anonymized data set.
Consenting to disclose your data is up to you, but please make sure you’re informed of potential implications first.
I’ve DELETED my unroll.me account and am using a Google script that enables you to almost ‘grown your own’ unroll.me WITHOUT selling your data unknowingly!
Want to know how to do that? I’ll tell you next blog.
Much needed blog post! I delete my accounts on Unroll.me as well. Thanks for listing out clearly the negative effects of selling supposedly “anonymized” data.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Nadine! I’m so glad this helped you. People seem to place a distinct lack of value/worth on their data these days so if I can help draw attention to that a bit, I’m more than happy to! | 2019-04-19T19:03:52 | https://www.christinamaree.com/the-most-effective-way-to-manage-your-email/ |

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the key ligament which bonds together the upper and lower parts of the leg at the knee. ACL injuries account for more than two-thirds of all knee injuries in skiers and are fairly common in other sports such as volleyball, basketball, and racket sports. To prevent ACL injury it is important to have strong quadriceps and hamstrings. A ruptured ACL is typically diagnosed by a doctor – an MRI exam is advisable, as this can also identify whether the meniscus (cartilage in the knee that provides cushioning) is damaged as well. If your meniscus is damaged, you should definitely avoid exercises that could aggravate this condition. There are occasions where surgery is not necessary, or not worth the potential for further damage, as the ACL is not always crucial for people that do not exercise heavily. As with all recommendations for surgery, it is usually advised to get a second opinion.
If you have chosen to have ACL reconstructive surgery, remember that proper post-surgery rehabilitation is very important, perhaps even more important than the surgery itself. Activities should set out to promote healing, increase flexibility in the knee and strengthen surrounding muscles. Your physical therapist will probably set up a “passive range of motion” program, and put you in a hinged knee brace for a month or two to prevent hyperextension or hyperflexion in the knee. An important point for ACL patients to remember after surgery is thatevery effort must be made to increase range of motion and flexibility at the knee. Weakness in the knee can usually be eliminated by extra strengthening exercises, but increased stiffness can sometimes be permanent if not corrected by further surgery.
The most common cause of an tendon inflammation (tenosynovitis or tendonitis) is overuse of the affected tendon. Rest of the affected tendon is all that is required in some cases. Other treatments such as anti-inflammatory drugs or a steroid injection are sometimes needed. Infection of a tendon is an uncommon cause but needs treatment with antibiotics if it occurs. | 2019-04-23T20:35:31 | http://alternativemusculartherapy.com/?page_id=611 |
This is about as close to an oasis as you can get in the deserts of Idaho. It's an old volcano in the middle of the sagebrush desert. As soon as you start down the path, you can feel the air change and the vegetation becomes that of a mountain forest. There are a ton of pine trees on the hillsides and a beautfiul meadow at the bottom surrounded by thick aspen trees. The bottom part of the sides nearly all the way around is covered with large boulders great for a little rock hiking if you care to explore. The path in is about as easy a hike as it gets. Maybe a little steep at points but it's only about a quarter mile down in. It's pretty small and there's a pretty established place for fires with plenty of dead wood scattered around.
As per the signs on the road, the caldera is not accessible to "humans" until May 1st, just a heads up. We went on May 1st and the trail was still snow covered, so we had to hike down the lava rock hillside instead. Such a great little private meadow for camping! Flat spots for tents, as well as trees for hammocks. There is a little fire pit already set up. We loved it. I hope to go back when the wildflowers are in bloom!
This is a really interesting place! Sagebrush and a barren landscape outside, and then a short hike down and it's all wildflowers and bright green aspens! Super family-friendly, with cool lava rocks to explore, and a lot of wildlife! | 2019-04-22T07:39:51 | https://www.freearenas.com/pine-butte-the-caldera-near-st-anthony-idaho.html |

Rogue One to Be First Star Wars Movie Shot in 70MM?
Quentin Tarantino is bringing back an old school cinematic format for his upcoming Western The Hateful Eight. He shot his latest movie on 65mm film using the classic Panavision lenses in the widest aspect ratio of 2.76:1. This marks the first anamorphic 70mm theatrical release in nearly 50 years. But it might not be the last. A new rumor claims that director Gareth Edwards is utilizing a similar technique on the upcoming LucasFilm spinoff Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
The Ultra Panavision 70 anamorphic lenses were created specifically for The Hateful Eight. And Quentin Tarantino himself is overseeing the installation of more than fifty 70mm projectors in theaters across the United States for the film's limited Christmas Day release, before it goes wider in January playing in digital theaters. It makes sense that other productions would begin to utilize this format, otherwise all of that hardware is going to go to waste.
Gareth Edwards is said to be using the exact same Ultra Panavision 70 anamorphic lenses for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as used on The Hateful Eight, making it the first ever FRgAKNrSBIT2km|Star Wars movie shot in the format. THR reported back in June that cinematographer Greig Fraser was considering using the lens, but that has still never been confirmed by anyone at Disney or Lucasfilm. Around that same time, it was also announced that this spinoff would be using the Arris Alexa 65 large-format 6K digital camera. Its believed the lens will be used with this innovative new camera.
No one is looking at the reemergence of 70mm as the new 3D, but it could help sustain the theater going experience, with ticket sales waning over the course of the last few years. And it sure would be a shame to see all that technology created and established for Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight to go to waste. But will it be enough to get general audiences excited? Or is this something that only appeals to true cinephiles?
Yesterday, Lucasfilm dropped it's latest teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens on Instagram, showing off the very first footage of John Boyega as Finn brandishing Luke Skywalker's lightsaber. The move was made to celebrate Instagram's landscape orientation which allows for a more cinematic platform, giving users the opportunity to post their own videos and photos in the 'widescreen' format. Average everyday users are getting more accustomed to the cinematic style and will certainly start to gravitate to it and understand it more as their allowed to utilize it in their own selfies and home videos. But will 70mm be enough to generate a boost in theater attendance? We'll certainly know when we see how many people show up for The Hateful Eight on opening day. | 2019-04-23T04:44:13 | https://movieweb.com/rogue-one-star-wars-70mm/ |

I recently attended Faithlands, a remarkable gathering of faith leaders and sustainable agriculture leaders convened by Greenhorns and the Agrarian Trust and hosted at beautiful Paicines Ranch in California. The main purpose of the gathering was to explore the potential for lands held by faith communities to be placed in the service of the sustainable agriculture movement and beginning farmers in particular. Many of us left this gathering, however, feeling that something much deeper and more far-reaching had occurred during our three days together.
To understand the deeper experiences that many of us felt during this gathering, it may be helpful to call to mind the concept of the farm ecosystem or organism as it is understood in the biodynamic farming movement. This concept suggests that all the diverse elements of a farm—the woodlands, the wetlands, the cropland, the pastures, the orchards, the farm animals, the wildlife, etc.—can be woven together biologically into a higher synthesis through the wise management of the farmer. Each of these elements must be managed as a whole unto itself but each can also contribute to a whole that is greater than the sum of the parts. This greater whole is the farm ecosystem.
When a farm begins to achieve this quality of wholeness, remarkable expressions of health and vitality begin to emerge on the farm and in the food produced on the farm. The farm, you could say, becomes a vessel for something working at a higher level than biology. In biodynamics we would go so far as to say that the biological organism of the farm can become a vessel for a spiritual being to work in a new way on the earth, a being that can bless the whole surrounding landscape. To use a sacramental image, we could say that the farmer raises up the elements of the farm like a priest raises up bread and wine, allowing them to be infused with new life, bringing nourishment and healing to the whole community.
Now I invite you to imagine this same concept applied to interfaith and ecumenical dialogue. Imagine a room of Muslims, Jews, and Christians, a room of Episcopalians, Lutherans, Baptists, Presbyterians, and Quakers gathering not so much to compare theological perspectives, but rather to share their unique ways of loving and caring for the land, for farmers, and for their own communities.
Imagine a Muslim farmer sharing how his love for the earth called him away from an academic career and inspired him to partner with the New Jersey Muslim community to create an organic farm and educational center inspired by the environmental and social values of Islam.
Imagine a Dominican sister sharing how she feels her traditional religious vows have been transformed into a new healing chrism for the earth, inspiring her community and many others to place their lands into the service of small farmers and local land trusts on behalf of a bioregional vision of the future.
Imagine a leader in the Jewish community farming movement sharing how work on a community supported agriculture farm helps re-connect young people to the roots of their faith and to the deeper social and environmental dimension of lived Judaism.
Imagine a leader of the Lutheran church in Milwaukee sharing how the community garden she founded, located on land historically connected to the underground railroad, has become a sanctuary for the African American community, where the arts of growing, preparing, and sharing food are restored to their cultural and sacred dignity.
Imagine a United Church of Christ pastor sharing his calling to create a new church rooted in the land and culture of rural communities as well in the radical agrarian values of the bible—a church founded on wonder and reverence for the working of god in all of creation.
Imagine these and many other offerings and conversations over three days creating a social vessel filled with a mood of devout open-mindedness, of reverent curiosity, of sacramental solidarity with one another and with the earth. Imagine, through these conversations, an ecosystem of faiths beginning to form among us, woven from our good will and inspiring us to place our diverse talents and gifts—and lands—in service to the future of the earth. In this way, you can perhaps begin to develop a feeling for the wonderful sense of community that arose in this gathering.
What emerged clearly for me in this gathering, and what I think many others felt in their own way as well, is that there is an ecological and agrarian spirituality manifesting in our time that both embraces and transcends the beliefs and practices of individual faith communities, a spirituality that can serve as a new source of unity among all people who love the earth, whether religiously affiliated or not. This spirituality shines toward us from soil, plants and animals, from air, light and rain, from clouds, stars and seasons, from work, food and fellowship, inspiring us to unite spirit with matter in practical work on the land, work that blesses and is blessed by the holy, unifying embrace of the web of life.
You could say that, in the womb of this new spirituality, we felt our seeming differences dissolved like so many materials in a compost pile. While I think we certainly had moments where we felt this kind of unity, I think the image of the farm organism is ultimately the better analogy. For it was not so much that our differences were dissolved but rather that they were brought into connection with a higher source of unity that gave to each person and each religion and denomination represented a new sense of purpose and responsibility within a larger ecosystem, the full nature and texture of which none of us had felt before.
And yet there was an essential ingredient to this gathering that must not be overlooked, namely, those who attended not as representatives of faith communities, but rather as representatives, you could say, of the earth herself. These were the farmers and conservation biologists, the agroforesters and environmental lawyers, the staff of land trusts and farm organizations. Through their presence, we stayed grounded in the urgent needs of young farmers, in the loss of species and in the tragic plight of the glyphosate poisoned earth.
Forming a group to steward this ecosystem and the work flowing from it into the future.
We came to this gathering as representatives of diverse communities and interests, but with these commitments in our hands and with these experiences in our hearts and minds, we left feeling ourselves as members of a single community, a new ecosystem of people, faiths, and organizations devoted to the future of the earth.

Many of our programs require a dissertation, also known as a thesis, to be completed. There are some exceptions, but first we will address the normal one year dissertation requirement.
Our philosophy about student dissertations is that their purpose is for the student to demonstrate a command of some portion of his/her field of endeavor and be able to write independently about it, or alternatively to conduct a useful literature review.
Dissertations Instructions?? We do not give you a 100 page thesis instruction manual as many institutions have developed. Rather, we ask that you familiarize yourself with the requirements for publication in one or more Journals or other outlets in your field of endeavor. Now, of course, no trade journal is going to publish a 300 page thesis. Some of our students have generated scholarly studies, but have had to cut their work down to 20 pages or so to comply with various journal’s space limitations. And that is what we very much like to see, a published paper in a recognized journal.
We help you get published, too!!!! We just don’t tell you to do it. We are right there with you every step of the way, and we know how to get dissertations published!!! And wow, isn’t that a terrific thing to show a prospective employer…a published work.
Now for some exceptions to the ordinary 1 year dissertation requirement discussed above.
Our write-up, entitled “Dissertation Inflammation”, https://bluemarbleuniversity.com/2015/06/17/dissertation-inflammation/ gives further guidance to our philosophy and covers our three alternative pathways that might apply to you. Please click on the link and study it.
(1) No dissertation PhD, also referred to as a Ph.D. without dissertation: While not recommended, for students that are extremely fearful of the dissertation requirement, we will consider applications for our doctoral programs without a thesis requirement, if requested at time of application only. In this scenario, students are assigned additional course work and must complete an Online Portfolio to contain not only a resume of your course work, but also if appropriate, various items of independent work. The idea is for you to create an online portfolio highlighting your achievements which can be presented to prospective employers or otherwise used by you in any fashion you wish. We believe that your creation of an Online Portfolio will give added substance to your achievements and be something you can continue to build on even after leaving our institution. The Online Portfolio is your digital resume, online identity, and online reputation.
This program is designed for any field of endeavor, and is for students who are interested in a dissertation program that has a beginning and an end. We are set up for two years including completing the publication process with our help and guidance. This is a terrific program, particularly for those already holding a Masters Degree, to round out and complete one’s education without additional course work.
(3) Students that have completed all doctoral coursework elsewhere but could not complete their dissertation: If you have completed your doctoral course work somewhere else but cannot get through the dissertation process, you can transfer all of your courses complete to Blue Marble University and complete your dissertation in 2 years under our Dissertation-only PhD program. Some applicants have already completed substantial work on their thesis, in which case, the time can be shortened in certain situations after review. We incorporate all of your courses into our transcript when issuing you our PhD degree. | 2019-04-20T07:25:45 | https://bluemarbleuniversity.com/dissertation-information/ |
The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide a general overview of the subclass 300 visa and matters which you will need to address should you seek to apply for this visa. It focuses on the more common scenarios that normally arise for prospective marriage visa applicants and therefore does not cover all possible options or scenarios. It is also beyond the scope of this discussion to provide a detailed description of all applicable factors you will need to consider. We therefore strongly recommend if you are considering applying for the subclass 300 visa, that you make the proper further enquiries to ensure that you are fully informed about your eligibility, the application process and the documentary evidence requirements that apply before you lodge your application. This will give you the best chance of a successful outcome and potentially avoid unnecessary processing delays or a potential visa refusal. Getting it right the first time also means you avoid the loss of valuable time and money that comes with a visa refusal decision.
If you are planning to marry an Australian citizen or permanent resident, or an eligible New Zealand citizen, and you are located offshore, you may consider applying for a prospective marriage visa as a potential pathway to permanent residence in Australia.
The subclass 300 visa, also commonly known as a fiancé visa, is a temporary visa which, if granted, will allow you to travel to Australia to marry your partner within the 9-month visa period. After marrying your partner, it is intended that you will then apply for an onshore partner visa (which must be lodged before the subclass 300 visa expires).
How to file your application for the visa subclass 300?
The onshore partner visa application involves a 2-step process, whereby you are required to lodge a combined application for a temporary visa (subclass 820) and a permanent visa (subclass 801 visa) at the same time. You will first be assessed for the temporary subclass 820 visa and, if granted, it will allow you to continue to reside in Australia whilst Immigration processes your application for permanent residence.
Two years following lodgement of your combined subclass 820/801 partner visa application, you will be assessed for the subclass 801 visa. If your application is successful, you will be granted permanent residence in Australia. As part of the assessment of your subclass 801 visa application, Immigration will confirm whether you continue to meet the visa grant requirements for the partner visa. One important aspect of this assessment is whether you remain in a married relationship with your Australian partner.
The subclass 300 prospective marriage visa application must be lodged when you are offshore, and you must also be outside Australia at the time of grant.
For grant of the subclass 820 temporary partner visa and the subclass 801 permanent partner visa, you may be located either in or outside Australia.
Step 1: You first need to lodge a prospective marriage subclass 300 visa application, which, if granted, will allow you to travel to and reside in Australia for a period of up to 9 months to marry your Australian partner.
Step 2: Once you have married your partner (within the 9-month visa period), you are then expected to lodge a combined application for an onshore partner subclass 820/801 visa.
Step 3: Two years following lodgement of your combined subclass 820/801 visa application, the Department will assess whether you continue to satisfy the requirements for a grant of the subclass 801 visa, with a successful application resulting in a grant of permanent residence in Australia.
Are you eligible to apply for the subclass 300 visa?
A key requirement for visa grant is that you must genuinely intend to marry your Australian partner within the 9-month visa period.
You are required to provide evidence documenting that arrangements have been made for the marriage ceremony to take place after your first entry to Australia. This evidence must be in the form of a signed and dated letter (on letterhead) from the authorised marriage celebrant who will be conducting the ceremony, confirming the date and venue of your marriage ceremony.
Under Australian law, if you wish to marry in Australia, you must lodge a Notice of Intention to Marry (NOIM) with the marriage celebrant who will be conducting the ceremony. The NOIM must be lodged no less than 1 month and no more than 18 months before the proposed date of the ceremony and is valid for up to 18 months. As part of your subclass 300 visa application, you should also provide confirmation that you have lodged a NOIM with your marriage celebrant.
Note that there is no requirement for you to marry your partner in Australia. If you intend to marry overseas, you must still enter Australia within the 9-month visa period before you marry. Thereafter you can depart Australia to marry overseas. You must then re-enter Australia within the 9-month visa period and apply for the combined subclass 820/801 onshore partner visa. Note that your overseas marriage must be legally valid in Australia.
If you marry your Australian partner before a decision is made on the application, you will no longer be eligible for the prospective marriage visa. In this case, you will need to take the appropriate steps to notify Immigration of your change in circumstances, withdraw your application and re-apply for a new visa subclass. Otherwise, your subclass 300 visa application will be refused.
Note that the Department recognises that for cultural and/or religious reasons, a couple who are intending to marry will not always be able to provide evidence in support of the above relationship aspects (or not all of them). Applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis, having regard to the circumstances as they apply to each individual application. Immigration will consider the above factors, as far as is practicable, in making its assessment.
How can you apply for the subclass 300 visa?
It is important to ensure that you lodge your application in the correct matter, in accordance with visa lodgement requirements. If you fail to do so, your application will be deemed to be invalid and you will need to re-apply.
You must be located outside Australia at the time of lodgement, with your application form and documents to be submitted online. The Department will use the online portal to correspond with you in relation to your application, and you can use it to notify of any change to your circumstances, etc. If a migration agent or immigration lawyer assists you with your application, they will manage this process for you.
Your Australian partner is also required to lodge a sponsorship form and submit specified documents via the same online system.
Written statements about your relationship for both yourself and your partner, covering the history and development of your relationship, when you became engaged, joint activities, significant events in your relationship and your future plans together as spouses (these statements can be in the form of statutory declarations).
When preparing your relationship documents, keep in mind the definitions outlined above in this article (i.e. how a spousal relationship is defined under the migration provisions and the relationship aspects that are also noted, as the Department will consider these factors as far as is practicable in assessing whether you genuinely intend to live together as spouses).
How much will it cost to apply for a subclass 300 visa?
The current application fees for lodging a subclass 300 visa application are listed in the table below. Note that these fees can change, and you should check the costs that will apply in your case before proceeding with lodgement.
A payment surcharge may also apply, with the percentage rate payable depending on the method used for payment.
You should also factor in the costs for lodging the onshore partner visa application if you are considering applying under the prospective marriage visa pathway. The current application fees for the combined subclass 820/801 visa are the same as for the subclass 300 visa (as noted above) however note that these costs can vary, depending on your individual circumstances.
When you lodge your onshore partner visa application (subclass 820/801).
Therefore, applying under the prospective marriage visa pathway will result in a minimum financial outlay of $14,320 (excluding any applicable surcharges) for a single main applicant, based on the current fees structure.
The above is not an exhaustive list and you may incur other costs that are specific to your case.
If you engage a migration agent or immigration lawyer to assist you with your application, a fee will be payable for their services. This will be confirmed with you prior to the commencement of your service agreement.
Some documents expire after 12 months (e.g. police clearances and health examinations), whereas others can be used more than once as evidence that you have satisfied visa grant requirements. These will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
How long will it take for a decision to be made on your subclass 300 application?
The current average processing time for the subclass 300 visa is between 14 and 17 months (based on 75-90% of applications lodged).
Note that this is an approximate time-frame only and changes periodically. The processing time for your application will also depend on your individual circumstances, including whether you provide all the required documents and if they are in the correct form. Additional delays can also result if issues arise in determining whether you meet visa requirements (e.g. if Immigration has doubts about whether you have a genuine intention to live together as spouses once you are married) resulting in further investigations being conducted by the Department.
The overall process for the prospective marriage visa pathway may, therefore, take over 5 years, based on minimum average processing periods noted above (and taking into account the 9-month visa grant period for the subclass 300 visa). This is important information to be aware of as you plan your own visa pathway.
Can you visit your partner in Australia whilst the subclass 300 visa is being processed?
With the current lengthy processing times for the subclass 300 (over 1 year), you might consider applying for a visitor visa to allow you to visit your partner in Australia during this period. This type of visa is normally granted for a short period (3 months) and requires that you meet the Genuine Temporary Entrant requirement (among other requirements) for visa grant. This is to ensure that you intend to visit Australia on a temporary basis only, for the purpose for which the visitor visa is granted (for example, under the tourist stream, your purpose may be to visit your partner).
Be mindful that you must be located outside Australia for the subclass 300 visa to be granted. To ensure that you receive all correspondence from the Department, always keep your contact details updated and advise of any changes immediately.
What happens if the subclass 300 visa is granted?
You must be located outside Australia for visa grant.
If approved, your visa will allow you to travel to and reside in, Australia temporarily for a period of 9 months. If you intend to marry your partner in Australia, you must do so after your first entry to Australia and within the 9-month visa grant period.
If you are intending to marry overseas, you must enter Australia before you marry your partner. You can then depart to get married, and again re-enter Australia within the 9-month visa period to lodge your onshore partner visa application.
The subclass 300 visa allows you to work and study in Australia as well as travel without limitation for the duration of the visa period.
What happens if the subclass 300 visa is refused?
If your application for the subclass 300 visa is unsuccessful, you may be able to appeal the decision to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). This process is called a ‘merits review.’ Note that this option will not be available in all instances. Strict requirements apply with regard to how the review process is to be conducted, including tight application deadlines and who the review applicant must be.
If you do not follow the correct procedures in lodging your review application, you run the risk of your application being deemed invalid. This would mean having to re-apply, provided you have not passed the time limit for applying by that time.
The AAT will consider your application and evidence, as lodged with Immigration and take into account information that you provide as part of the review. It will apply the same legislative provisions that were applied by Immigration in deciding your case.
The Tribunal has a range of options available to it in deciding a case. It can set aside, vary or affirm the Department’s original decision. It can also remit your application to the Department for your application to be reconsidered with specific directions.
Given the strict deadlines that apply, if you are seeking to apply for a review, ensure that you act quickly and lodge your application with the AAT as soon as possible.
For up to date advice on the subclass 300 visa application, including an assessment of your eligibility for visa grant and the process for applying, book your confidential consultation with a migration agent in Adelaide.

The outward vestments of Batman and his alter-ego Bruce Wayne serve to reveal the inner compartmentalization of two major character aspects to the audience. Street scenes show squared, block like buildings, with some geometrically odd shapes, however, the facade of the buildings in Gotham city show intricate, eccentric detail, similar to the interiors of The Cabinet of Dr. Even films like Big Fish Burton, 2003 and Life of Pi Lee, 2012 are a great variation on fairy tale stories with a combination of expressionism and realism. This specific historical period is evoked in the clothing and the colors, and is contrasted not only with the gothicism of Edward's castle, but also with the contemporary appearance of Kim's boyfriend Jim and his friends. There are many directors that are still active members of the neoexpressionist movement. The zoomed close shots of actors conveying cathartic surges of emotions are also revisited throughout the film, especially in one of the final scenes, in which the two main actresses collapse to tears in a theater.
The most obvious example of this is in the Batman movies. From his early days at The California Institute of Arts, to his current film projects, Burton has always had an… 929 Words 4 Pages In the short film, Frankenweenie, produced and co-written by Tim Burton, a boy named Viktor Frankenstein uses the power of science to revive his beloved dog, Sparky. Shadows are also utilised to cover Batman's face, adding to the mystery behind the character, much like the shadows used to cover Nosferatu. Although people have different opinions about his movies, most of his films got many compliments and prizes from critics. Modern artist also use different or mixed forms of art, for example sculpture, printmaking, photography, drawings, paintings, charcoal ect. Caligari 1920 , viewed 28 July 2013,.
Harald Menz German Expressionism and Early Cinema German expressionism is one of the most fundamental movements of early cinema. Elsewhere, leading ladies and heroines often sport flowing blonde locks, pale white faces and exquisite gowns akin to Pre-Raphaelite paintings. Gothic motifs here are typically old aristocratic families, subterranean and eerie settings, the past—particularly the medieval past—entering the present, the supernatural, emotional extremes in characterization, an older powerful antagonist, a young hero and a heroine that faces some sort of imprisonment or constraint. The monotone music combined with the asymmetrical diagonals represent the mindset of Francis, who is in the insane asylum. These show the characters dark sides as they have an inability to confront their fractured psyches. The suburban household Edward finds himself thrust into plays powerfully on the idea of family life and the way it was presented in the 1950s.
These types of films with their stylistic, surrealist themes were distinct and unique, putting Germany on the map as one of the first international film successes. The demonstration of cutting things, and people, open including gore and blood galore has always been a repeated pattern in all of his films: Frankenweenie, Edward Scissorhands, and now Sleepy Hollow. This report is divided into several aspects of German Culture which are as follows. According to The United States Holocaust Memorial…. The animated sets of Nightmare Before Christmas show twisted, curling hills near the cemetery, tilted buildings and pillars in the town centre and other distorted architectural features, in keeping with the expressionist themes. Vincent was the first sign of Burton's admiration for Vincent Price, an homage to the man as well as his films. The whole movie focuses on Kopfrkingl disturbed mind and descent into insanity.
. Themes of the German expressionist period were commonly ones of madness, insanity, betrayal and intellectual topics; differing from the more simplistic action and romance themes often seen in films of that time. The most notable feature of German expressionist films is lighting and shadows. In his films like Edward Scissorhands, we see flashbacks to Edward's past, as with the Batman movies, where the audience is given insight into the characters emotional state through Bruce Wayne's childhood flashbacks. For example, in The Nightmare Before… 681 Words 3 Pages Tim Burton Style Analysis Film Essay By John Visgaitis Period 6-7 The well-respected and established director Tim Burton has always been credited for the uniqueness of his many films. Although this cultural scene began in part, perhaps appropriately, in the industrial yet culturally traditionalist north of England, its Mecca was to be found in the metropolis of London, in a nightclub uncoincidentally named the Batcave.
It comes from difficult social times, usually during recessions or immediately after wars. The movie wanted to convey a story while showing off its German Expressionism, so I believe that some of the elements from Classical Hollywood era were used. I look over and totally had one of those movie moments where everything was playing in slow motion. Two of the most recognizable expressionist films are Nosferatu Murnau, 1922 , and The Cabinet of Dr. I also love his gothic twist on things. This is much like The Cabinet of Dr. One of the first films with German expressionism in it was the cabinet of Dr Caligari, 1920.
The mixture of two such improbable styles of filmmaking resulted in a piece of great authenticity. This can be seen as these two images from the 9-year old film are far from having the resemblance of a rainbow. Winton uses various literary techniques to embed personalised values into his texts such as place…. He started out as an Animator at Walt Disney Studios, and worked his way up to become a Director. At first, we have the unusual choice of background.
In Burton's Batman, we can see a resemblance between Robert Weine's Dr. Make detailed reference to your texts. The land of the dead was high key making the scenes more joyful and pleasant. Almost twenty years later after Vincent and Frankenweenie were produced and shelved with a feature film version of 2012. In 1914, the Great War began in Europe.
Mixing classic Hollywood horror and German expressionism, Tim Burton starts his career off on the right foot with his first short film, Vincent. This is how a lot of German expressionism styled films were made during that era. By 1922, German cinema became famous internationally, especially through the new. I agree — the Disney film is beautiful. His references are clear to the point of naming a character in his Batman series Max Schreck, same as the German actor of Nosferatu 1922. This fantasy horror film demonstrates yet again the impact German expressionism has on Tim Burton through his filmmaking career.
Burton's love for the gothicism of the classic Universal horror pictures is expressed in the conversations between Wood and Lugosi about the way horror films used to be. An authors values and ideas originate and stem from their personal, historical and cultural context. This led to the rise of producing companies: 25 in 1914 to 130 in 1918, and 300 by 1921 Thompson and Bordwell 87. The artist Kathe Kollwitz is a German artist 1867-1945. Is the film style like Hitchcock? Everyone loves his dark, gothic, eerie, horror and fantasy films. | 2019-04-22T08:48:15 | http://freia.jp/tim-burton-expressionism.html |

Ocamlbuild cannot find or build lib-pprzlink.ml. A file with such a name would usually be a source file. I suspect you have given a wrong target name to Ocamlbuild.
The same happened to me in Ubuntu 17.10, and the problem seems to be theirs. In particular, the related pkg was not correctly updated in Ubuntu. One can still fix it by installing ocambuild and other dependencies via opam. However, it is not so straightforward.
Hopefully, ocambuild is ok in the new LTS (beta is availble now I think).
Mmm forget my previous mail... this issue with ocambuild is not related with the one I experienced.

At the beginning of each week I look through my recipes and Pinterest and plan a menu. I don't assign days to the recipes since I cook based off of my mood and what is going on that day. I come up with 5 recipes and cross them off my chalkboard menu wall as I make them. The other 2 days are leftovers or we eat out. I started cooking gluten-free this year for health reasons and I also try to avoid dairy for my son. My recipes are mostly Paleo and usually pretty simple.
I am going to post my weekly menu every Monday and will include a link party that will stay open all week. Feel free to post your favorite recipes, I need all the ideas I can get. Your recipes don't have to be gluten-free or Paleo; I have gotten pretty good at modifying recipes to suit my families' needs. Leave me a comment and let me know what you are cooking this week. If I decide to try a recipe you link up or tell me about in the comments, I'll link back to you.
Any ideas of what to call this link party?
The first time I made this my husband was skeptical and ready to run out for fast food. He was pleasantly surprised at how much he liked it. I love how easy this is to make and that I can just throw it all in the slow cooker in the morning.
This one has become a family favorite and we end up making it a couple times a month.
I have been using this recipe for baked salmon for several years now and it is a family favorite. It is also very easy.
I really should write down my own recipe for this since I change so much when I make it.
•Drain and rinse the kidney beans and add water to replace the liquid that was in the beans (rinsing beans helps reduce gas).
•Replace cannellini beans with black beans. Rinse and replace the liquid with water.
•Pre-cook the onion and garlic.
This is another family favorite. I use this recipe for the Greek Seasoning. | 2019-04-19T15:16:07 | http://www.thethriftyhome.com/2014/10/menu-for-3rd-week-of-october-2014-link.html |
Swiftly, a set of songs and tunes emerged and the new album FEATHER was created. Stories of wonder from the natural world; tales of rejoicing and long lost returns; and simple thanksgiving for their own surroundings and place in the landscape. Informed by world rhythms, British folk roots, and the duo’s penchant for making as much noise as possible with only two people, the album is an upbeat celebration, an incitement to hope.
Edgelarks began their musical journey together living in a small caravan in the hills near Exmouth, Devon. Phil had returned, Chaturangui in tow, from studying slide guitar in India with the master musician Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya. Hannah had grown up playing fiddle at traditional folk sessions. The pair met when they were both recruited to alt-roots outfit The Roots Union, travelling from festival to festival, tent to tent, wandering the highways, byways, and old forgotten pathways of these islands. When the band folded, Phil and Hannah formed a duo. They followed in the footsteps of the ancient troubadour tradition, picking up tunes, songs and stories along the way. Spotted busking on the seafront at Sidmouth Folk Festival by champion of independent music Steve Knightley, they soon found themselves touring nationally, supporting the likes of Show of Hands and Seth Lakeman, and eventually winning the prestigious Best Duo award at the 2014 BBC Folk Awards.
Extensive international touring followed, from Japan to South Africa, Canada to Australia. Collaborations saw them team up with Peter Knight (ex Steeleye Span) to form the Gigspanner Big Band; and join Show of Hands as part of their Wake the Union band for a very special show at the Royal Albert Hall on Easter Sunday 2017. As part of the all star lineup for folk-disco project The Band Of Love, they performed to a crowd of 50,000 and broadcast around the world alongside Kylie Minogue and the Manic Street Preachers, for BBC Radio 2’s Hyde Park Festival in a Day.
From recording their first album, Singing the Bones, at home in their living room in the dead of night, they have gone on to produce four more records, each time refining the process and honing their production skills – Mynd, Live in Calstock, and Watershed (which garnered them a second nomination for Best Duo at the BBC Folk Awards in 2016.). With the fourth album, Edgelarks, came another Folk Award nomination, and the decision to adopt the band name (they previously performed under their own names). Feather will mark another step in their journey. An exploration of the musical possibilities of just two people, they plan to translate their formidable live show into album format. A set of songs that will celebrate joy, push musical boundaries, and call out for hope.
The new album ‘Feather’ will launch with an accompanying tour in May/June 2019. | 2019-04-18T22:34:48 | https://www.cornwallmusic.co.uk/2019/04/edgelarks-may-june-2019-feather-album-launch-tour/ |

How do you measure success? Recently, Real Simple and TIME released a nationwide "Success Poll," which asked 1,000 women and 300 men to weigh in on issues of work, life, ambition and more.
Among the findings — women's desire for success dwindles as they age. Seventy-three percent of women in their 20s describe success as very important, compared to 61% of women in their 30s, 50% in their 40s and 50s, and 37% in their 60s.
Also, 79% of women and 74% of men say they would not want their boss's job. Interestingly, 52% of men would take their boss’s job if it were offered to them, while only 31% of women would.
And 63% of women with children said its 'very important' that their kids seem them as successful, while 24% said the same of their co-workers.
Almost three-fourths of women say it's more important to enjoy their work than to make the most money they can make.
When asked what success means to them, the top three responses from women were: accomplishing your goals, being at peace and having financial stability.
Almost half of women in their 20s have considered not having kids (or postponing kids) in order to aim higher at work.
There's a ten minute difference in the amount of time it takes women to get ready for work in the A.M. and the time it takes men.
For women, approval from their family is more important than approval from their co-workers.
36% of women and 37% of men often feel people at work think that they're more qualified than they are.
4 out of 5 respondents say they care about being well liked at work. | 2019-04-22T22:07:33 | https://www.momtrends.com/career/2014-real-simpletime-success-poll |

I hope you will print this time, at least in your letter page “Yours Sincerely”, my concern. I have been watching how your team has helped and developed the image of our curry industry to the highest level. I never imagined this would be possible in our lifetime. Last year I took some of my restaurant customers to the British Curry Awards 2010. Now every time they come to my restaurant for dinner they are talking about the Oscars of our industry. We are particularly lucky to have been introduced to Rt David Cameron MP by you. We all are very proud of you that we could listen to his speech. Unfortunately, some so called leaders and pundits etc from our commu- nity are trying to copy your idea, including your magazine and British Curry Awards, and make a fool of themselves and the curry industry at the cost of embarrass- ment to our wider community.
I have been running restaurant for the last 37 years. I have never seen any one who has ever done anything for us other than create recipes for disunity among us and waste time with Bangladeshi politics.
You don’t have to go far to know Spice Business Magazine and British Curry Awards, you can visualise their contribu- tion over the years and how we have been benefited directly and indirectly.
My strong message to the impostors will be they will be name shamed by the media.
I have great respect for the genuine and honest intention to help our industry with- out any hidden agenda.
I am a restaurateur. I did not attend the British Curry Awards 2009. Then I heard that David Cameron, leader of the Conservatives had addressed the occa- sion as its Chief Guest. I regretted that I had missed such a historic occasion.
Thanks to the editor of Spice Business Magazine for publishing the full speech in the February/March edition. And thanks to British Curry Awards for enlisting the support of David Cameron for the curry industry. His words of appreciation and inspiration for our industry are immensely gratifying. As the greatest ever inventor Benjamin Frankly observed ‘Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety nine percent perspiration’. We have been, from the time of our forefathers who started this curry industry centuries ago, giving every drop of our perspiration to it. Now we have got the much needed inspiration and that too from a prime minister in the waiting!
The data on the turnover of the curry industry David Cameron has put forward in comparison to premier league soccer, the biggest passion in this country, and cinema is an eye opener. Then his trib- ute to our family values, which are falling apart as he said in this country, and the strong dynamic and vibrant communi- ties that we make is an apt reward for our industry and community. He closed his speech with congratulation to us and our forefathers who have made this country a richer, a stronger, a more interesting and a better fed country. And above all it is our values that the English in Britain need more today.
David Cameron has won our hearts! I will really appreciate if you will share my views with your readers.
I am a restaurateur and I employed an overseas student as a part time waiter in my restaurant. I had checked his passport, NI card and identity card, photocopied them and kept them in my file duly signed and dated.
One day, inspectors from the UKBA came to my restaurant with a notice from the college he was registered with saying he was not attending his classes. I was shocked; because he always told me he was going to attend college on his days off. But the UKBA people would not listen to my pleas. They slapped a fine of £5000 on me and arrested my student employee for deportation.
UKBA is getting tougher by the day after the ban on the immigration of students from the Indian subcontinent this year. It seems they plan to flush out those who are not really students, after a lot of bogus colleges have been asked to close.
I would like to share my concern with your readers that employers should check with the colleges about their student employees’ attendance there.
preciate your valued views, concerns and aspirations involving the curry industry. | 2019-04-26T06:05:22 | http://content.yudu.com/Library/A1nid9/SpiceBusinessMayJune/resources/51.htm |

My recent work trip to Canada ended in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This was the first time I had visited the City and I wasn’t sure what to expect of it. Once there I discovered a really interesting mix of buildings and communities. The Exchange District was certainly a favourite area of mine. These two shots show a glimpse of this part of the downtown which was historically where the Grain Exchange was housed in the late 19th Century. | 2019-04-21T14:42:03 | http://bethlikes.com/2013/05/19/winnipegs-exchange-district/ |
Happy Autumn everyone! Complete with classic hot ‘n’ cold weather!
We have settled into Yagan Square and are enjoying meeting a range of new customers. In just a few days it will be Honey Month – see below for all the details!
Tristan is away at the moment in Canberra. He was awarded an Emerging Leaders in Agriculture scholarship by WA Farmers and is in Canberra for the next two weeks! Please see below for the change in hours to the Maylands Shop – my apologies for the inconvenience having to change them, but between the two shops, there is only so many hours this Queenbee can do! Tristan also presented some preliminary results at the ChemCentres’ Research Extension Engagement conference and we enjoyed attending the honey themed dinner in the evening, each course featuring honey in some way.
The bees are safely in Watheroo at the moment, enjoying the warmer weather and the Powderbark that is showing promise. We are thinking of looking out at Menzies for the Goldfields Mallee or down south; there are rumours that there a patches of Karri flowering!
Honey Month is May and we are excited!
Come and learn more about bees, honey and the beekeeping industry.
bringing it into the heart of the city in Yagan Square!
6th May 10-4pm. Free, festival for all the family!
Check out the BICWA website for mored details on each event.
And make sure you check out our socials for the amazing honey-inspired dishes that will be available over May from our Yagan Square traders! | 2019-04-21T16:10:15 | https://www.honeyimhome.com.au/april-update-honey-festival/ |
January 29, 2014 — Researchers are seeking to understand what happens inside the living brain after a concussion. In a study published today in PLOS ONE, researchers at Thomas Jefferson University used single photon emission computed tomography (S.P.E.C.T.) to evaluate two ways to measure physiological brain activity in Traumatic Brain Injury (T.B.I.) patients with chronic, mild symptoms. The findings of their blinded, case-control study are published in an article entitled, Clinical Comparison of 99mTc Exametazime and 123I Ioflupane SPECT in Patients with Chronic Mild Traumatic Brain Injury. The study included 25 cases and 10 controls.
The researchers used S.P.E.C.T. to track cerebral blood flow (C.B.F.), movement of blood through the brain and neurotransmitter dopamine by tracking the binding of a dopamine transporter (D.A.T.) tracer.
T.B.I. patients were discovered to have an average of six brain regions with abnormal perfusion, while controls had an average of two abnormal regions (P<0.0001). Patients with headaches had lower C.B.F. in the right frontal lobe and higher C.B.F. in the left parietal lobe compared to patients without headaches. Lower C.B.F. in the right temporal lobe correlated with poorer reported physical health. Higher D.A.T. binding was associated with more depressive symptoms and overall poorer reported mental health. However, there was no clear association between C.B.F. and D.A.T. binding in the patients studied.
Researchers concluded that S.P.E.C.T. imaging of D.A.T. and C.B.F. were useful tools that provide distinct information about brain physiology after T.B.I. | 2019-04-20T10:58:44 | https://www.itnonline.com/content/nuke-imaging-tools-tested-understand-effects-concussions |

With the GOP primary now all but officially over—congratulations, Mr. Romney—we can safely declare it swing voter season. As the general election campaign heats up, ever more attention is going to shift to that special class of voters who we presume will be responsible for picking our next President. But there’s good reason to believe that the vast majority of Americans, including professional journalists and campaign operatives, wouldn’t recognize a typical swing voter if they met one.
Indeed, the application of the term “swing voter” deserves a lot more scrutiny than it generally earns. As it is, the term is thrown around carelessly to apply to large demographically or ideologically defined groups. The most common assumption, for example, is that swing voters are synonymous with political independents, but as I explained at length in a recent book review, that is an utterly fanciful notion.
Instead, the simplest and clearest way to think about it is on the level of the individual voter. For an individual voter to qualify as a swing voter, the relevant criterion that needs to be fulfilled is persuadability. And that’s not a quality that’s exclusive only to those who are completely undecided, or who are only weakly committed to a candidate. Even those who are moderately committed can be persuaded to deepen their commitment. And the deepening of an existing affiliation with a candidate can be just as significant, both statistically and electorally speaking, as attracting mild commitment from someone who had previously been mildly committed to another candidate.
Persuadability, then, is not logically restricted to voters in the center; it can potentially be far more broadly distributed. That is what William Mayer found in his analysis of swing voters based on National Election Study data. Swing voters are least likely to be found among strong partisans (12 percent of this group); more likely to be found among independent leaners (27 percent) and weak partisans (28 percent); and most likely to be found among pure independents (40 percent). But since pure independents are such a small group, they wind up being just 13 percent of all swing voters, actually less than the number of strong partisans among swingers (18 percent). Another 28 percent of swing voters are independent leaners, and the largest group, 42 percent, are weak partisans. Thus the overwhelming majority (70 percent) of swing voters are weak or independent leaning partisans—the kind of voters whose probability of support for “their” candidate is more usefully thought of as being movable from 70 to 80 percent than from 45 to 55 percent.
Of course, even if swing voters are hard to pin down, that doesn’t mean campaigns shouldn’t try to reach them. They are by definition the most persuadable voters and, while estimates vary, in a typical campaign they might be around a fifth of voters. But given the fact that the overwhelming majority of swing voters are partisans, the logical place for a campaign to start is by consolidating support among “their” swing voters—that is, by driving up their support rates among weak partisans and independent leaners. As a bonus it would be useful if the campaign message reached toward the center and appealed to pure independents though numerically this is less important. The least promising group is clearly the partisan swingers of the other side. Whatever message might chip away at this group’s support for the opposing candidate seems unlikely to be the same message that would consolidate weak and independent leaning partisans behind a campaign’s candidate.
The same “one size does not fit all” applies to the demographics of swing voters. Since swing voters are everywhere, a campaign might be concerned with reaching swing voters among both Hispanics and the white working class. But it seems unlikely that the same message, especially of some ill-defined centrist variety, will appeal strongly to swingers in both groups. Boringly, it may come down to the mundane task of setting support rate targets among these and other demographics and figuring out how to hit each of the targets. But however boring it may seem, that’s how you win elections. | 2019-04-21T22:21:42 | https://newrepublic.com/article/102612/election-swing-voters-campaign-2012 |
Whether for pleasure, studying or reporting, reading improves vocabulary, improves reasoning and helps with interpretation. So we gathered our staff to point out some books on marketing and sales. Check out the list, choose which books you like best and start reading!
This is a book that helps with sales, especially with advisory. Its purpose is to teach salespeople to create a relationship with the customer and stimulate them, so the intention to buy comes from them.
N: Need. What needs to be done (usually the solution offered) to solve the problem. This step is for the customer to talk about the solution presented as ideal.
The book tells the trajectory, methods and difficulties encountered by Mark Roberge, the first person responsible for sales at Hubspot. From its beginning when they were still a startup of lean team until the IPO and a team with more than 1k people.
With a background in engineering, Mark – today CRO – has a remarkable feature of using data and metrics in all aspects of the team, not only in the sales process, but also in hiring, coaching, promotions, etc.
The book has several insights that can be applied immediately to your business and also exalts some mistakes you can avoid.
A less technical book than the previous one, but one of the most inspiring I’ve had the pleasure of devouring (in five days). He tells the story of Elon Musk from the point of view of Ashlee Vance, who had the disponibility to accompany him day by day. There are also interviews with close family and friends, and even Elon’s own views of point.
A book that helps demystify the fantasy of “the good idea of startup, live with young people in Silicon Valley and millionaires in a few months,” but also shows that it is possible for an immigrant from South Africa to become one of the world’s largest billionaires by competence and no luck.
The book is told from the perspective of Ben Horowitz, while still an entrepreneur. Today he is one of the most renowned investors in Silicon Valley, with its own venture capital firm, the a16c. Unlike most business strategy books, Ben brings a different point of view, no formulas of success, no shortcuts, but a lot of dedication, hard work and resilience!
Many books will tell you about entrepreneurial glamour, however, only a few show the bare reality as Ben does. Not coincidentally, it is one of the stories closest to the reality of entrepreneurship that I have read.
Are you always full of things to do and cannot handle your tasks? Are you often busy but don’t feel productive? Have you become the resource in the company that everyone goes to when they need something? Do you go home exhausted feeling like you did not do everything that you should have done?
Well, this is a book that teaches you how to behave in the workplace, so that you can deliver the MAXIMUM value and enjoy your time the BEST way. Without necessarily having to work 25 hours a day or creating enemies on the way.
Is knowledge based on IQ?
What if we know that intelligence is emotion?
Daniel Goleman is a Ph.D. from Harvard University and proposes that a person’s IQ is not a determinant of success. From brain and behavioral research, Goleman shows that intelligence is directly linked to the way we control our emotions. IQ is basically impulse control, empathy, persistence, and social ability. In addition, it states that it can be developed in all of us, especially in children, in whom the neurological structure is still developing.

Tony talks about his journey from his earliest entrepreneurial experiments in his childhood to the moment in which his company became one of the most amazing cases of branding and customer service.
It is a great book for anyone looking to become an entrepreneur and also for people who want to understand how developing a company’s culture can be relevant in the growth process of their team.
The book shows how successful companies created addictive products. It’s a guide for creating products that become routine in the lives of consumers. The book offers practical tips for creating habits, actionable steps for product improvement, and behavioral techniques used by big name companies like Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and more.
In this book I show in two chapters what a successful content strategy needs to have and also how to do co-marketing (a great way to start, for those who do not have an audience yet).
The book features several other interesting chapters with practical applications for email nutrition, UX Design, SAC 3.0, and other key concepts for companies that want to succeed in their digital strategies.
In this book, Jay Baer shows how companies and people can and need to be useful – a key concept for anyone who uses content for marketing purposes.

I was born and bred in one of the mining Valleys of South Wales. The echoes of a long distant past were then just whispers on the wind, yet for those with eyes to see, history was still writ large on the landscape. The first of the Rhiannon books gave me the opportunity to visit the hill-forts, gold mines, and mystical lakes built or used by my fore-parents.
So in my own small way I follow in the footsteps of the Bards of old. The Bards, the story-tellers, who recited the history and beliefs of their tribe, and kept history alive. I have tried to draw on what remains of that history. I hope you may get some small pleasure from this web site and perhaps the book(s).
It has been a huge pleasure to research the book and to visit the places described. In its writing many books and articles have been read over a long period of time and the more important ones are listed in the reading list. I have also tried to provide a brief background to Wales, to the Druids, and to the Celts.
The Celts of two-three thousand years of history are lost in time. Much of what we know comes from Greek and Roman writings, which were often heavily biased. The Celts trusted little or nothing of their religion to writing, for reasons which we can only conjecture.
Traditionally historians have unfortunately placed a huge emphasis on written texts and their accuracy has rarely been questioned until quite recently. Thus because the Celts had little or no written language, because there was an implicit acceptance of the historical accuracy of what their "enemies" said about them, they have received a "bad press." | 2019-04-24T11:48:39 | https://www.wisdomofrhiannon.co.uk/author.html |
At Danny’s Restoration & Cleaning, we are proud to offer TES™ (Thermal Energy System) for our water damage restoration customers.Using TES™, we can dry most jobs in under 30 hours; including carpet, carpet cushion, hardwood, walls, and substrates. This reduces mold/structural damage.
increase” in the water is what will really accelerate evaporation. The more energy/heat that can be transferred directly to the water, the more vapor pressure will build in the water. As the vapor pressure in the heated water builds, it rockets past the vapor pressure of the ambient air; the greater the separation of vapor pressures in water and air, the faster the water will turn into a vapor-gas (humidity).
The TES™thermal energy system is the new patent-pending equipment necessary to apply the Reets Evaporation Method to drying.
The system incorporates a 250,000 thousand BTU boiler that super heats a unique freeze-proof liquid. The heated liquid is pumped through insulated hoses to the thermal exchanger units, strategically placed in the water damaged area, effectively transferring the heat in the remaining water. | 2019-04-18T13:36:18 | http://dannysrestorationcleaning.com/tes-water-damage/ |

The first modern submarine was powered in 1800 by John Holland. Current design follows this initial invention with empty tanks around them to enable them to submerge. When these empty tanks are flooded with sea water by the captain, they make the ship to sink. In order to bring the ship to the surface, compressed air is used to force the water out of the tank making the vessel rise to the surface. The initial design (such as utilized in the World War I) were powered using diesel fuel which need oxygen for combustion. To increase the speed of the vessel, it had to travel over water and once submerged, it utilized battery power to turn propellers.
Due to the limited power of batteries, the submarine would stay under water for a relatively short time. The ability to be unseen made the ship unstoppable and could sink any ship. It was this power that almost made the ships to win the war by themselves. One shortcoming associated with early submarines was the poor living conditions of the sailors on board who woke up with oil heads. Torpedo’s were well known for sinking large ships such as the Lusitania in 1915. It was such action that angered and fueled the war. | 2019-04-22T22:17:07 | http://blog.authenticessays.net/2016/01/how-submarines-work.html |

Why Pay Rent Rather Pay EMI & Move in Your Own Flat. Home loan is a way, which brings you closer to your ‘dream home’. But this is the most delicate kind of a debt as the aspirant pledges one of his most valuable possessions as collateral. The process should start with a thorough study on the home loan procedures, do Compare home loan interest rate with all the leading banks and choose the lowest one. The primary thing to be kept in mind is that the deal should not be finalized with a lender on the basis of cheap interest rates only. But actually, there are various other things that should be kept in mind while applying for it. A prospective loan borrower must not rush while applying for the loan. Here is a defined housing loan guide to direct you in the accurate direction to update you on the home loan offers in India.
At the outset banks would require certain very simple basic documents. Various banks have their own set methods and parameters for appraising a customer. Check your home loan eligibility with various banks. You can but always club your spouse’s income to reach a higher eligibility bracket. The amount of EMI you need to pay per month depends primarily on the loan amount, interest rate and the tenor. The maximum permissible loan tenor for housing loan is 20 yrs. Loan amount of a customer too depends on good income; repayment track record, applicants’ profile, builder profile. Banks offer Home Loan to salaried, self-employed businessman and self –employed professionals. Banks would fund for constructing a home, home extension loan, purchasing a ready built house / flat (from builder or a resale property), residential plot, LAP (Loan Against Property) etc.
Once the property is finalized bank would ask you to submit the property related documents. They would require these documents to confirm that the proposed property is clear and marketable. Availing a Home Loan doesn’t only involve the cost of interest rates but it also includes other charges & fees at various stages. You must consider and compare all these charges while doing a comprehensive study on the cost. Processing fee, a non refundable fee normally charged by all banks for every customer at the very initial stage of home loan application. While signing the loan agreement you need to choose, the type of interest rate you want to pay to the bank. The banks will offer you with an option of a fixed rate or a floating rate. Prepayment fees come in to picture in case one wants to prepay his home loan before the stipulated tenor.
You can avail the Home loans for constructing a home, purchasing a ready built house / flat (from builder or a resale property), residential plot etc. Banks mostly fund 80% to 90% of the real estate value as loan. The customer initially needs to make a down payment (the difference between the actual property cost and the loan amount), on his own. Banks sometimes even fund the registration cost and the stamp duty as a part of home loan. Most of the leading banks provide loan with insurance to protect the family from loan liabilities in case of unfortunate demise of the borrower. Top banks like HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Standard Chartered, CITI,… have attractive Home Loan schemes. | 2019-04-25T10:09:06 | http://utopiaconsulting.co/home/home-loan/ |

A few weeks ago, I attended the Presidential Address at the Institute of Mathematics and it’s Applications (IMA). Using this, the IMA President Chris Linton argued the need for bridging the distinctions between “Pure” and “Applied” mathematics. Without giving too many spoilers, he also put the case that the “success path” for people at university is often seen as further academic study, eventually leading to professorship. Progressing into being a teacher, actuary, or any other job is culturally, perhaps, seen as a failure. In summary, I took Chris’ Address as a call for action: for changing the culture of success in mathematics to being more balanced across academic, industrial, educational, and other options. If you’re interested in mathematics, I would recommend going to one of the branch meetings where Chris will be repeating this talk.
It has been shown recently that 30 minutes of visits of green spaces reduces instances of depression and high blood pressure [source].
To me, it seems logical and worthwhile that some city should conduct a practical experiment to see if we could reduce depression, perhaps by simply planting some trees. It seems sensible to conduct a small trial, in order to get some fast feedback. The alternative to a local trial is either to do nothing, or wait for a central government policy to implement it everywhere.
In my town of Letchworth Garden City (UK), we are lucky to have a heritage foundation who do lots of good work, for example converting one of our 100-year-old houses into an eco-home [source]. Experiments do happen, but I would love to see more.
As a society we are, according to me at least, not implementing enough of these experiments. I have written this blog in an attempt to inspire some of my local decision makers to try more things for the benefit of their fellow citizens.
This is of course just one piece of science that I think it would be interesting to implement. Perhaps there are things you care about that we should be experimenting/implementing within our communities or businesses. I hope we can all do our bit to help get science used in reality. In the meantime, perhaps I will go out for a countryside walk. | 2019-04-19T15:10:09 | https://fuza.co.uk/2016/07/18/more-trees-please/ |
As he looked at the shattered spirit cruiser, Supremacy Gulan’s expression was extremely ugly. The Third Imperial Uncle had assigned him a task to protect Yi Yun from any harm. Furthermore, it was already unprecedented for a Supremacy to protect a Heaven Ascension realm junior, but even so, something untoward had happened.
The Fey Phantasm Sect could easily send two Supremacies to assassinate Yi Yun, while the Luo clan’s Supremacies had to stay behind to protect the royal capital.
The point of light flew over, and it was a… small pagoda tower!
Yi Yun’s energy was all depleted and he had suffered a huge lose in lifeblood. But at that critical juncture, he used the God Advent Tower to withstand Daoist You Ming’s final strike!
Thankfully, he had the God Advent Tower.
Ever since he came to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, Yi Yun had never used the God Advent Tower. After all, the God Advent Tower was a legacy item of the Azure Yang Lord.
A legacy item of a Divine Lord was obviously extraordinary in power. Unfortunately, the God Advent Tower was not powered by a Divine Lord. With Yi Yun’s present strength, the power that the God Advent Tower could use was greatly limited with his control. Thankfully, the God Advent Tower had a protective array with it. Back in the lower realm, these arrays were unable to show their effectiveness due to the lack of energy.
And upon coming to the 12 Empyrean Heavens, with the availability of a large number of World Stones as an energy source, Yi Yun had long recharged the God Advent Tower’s arrays to their maximum.
The strike from Daoist You Ming had nearly depleted all of the stored energy in the God Advent Tower’s defensive arrays!
Yi Yun felt a lingering fear. Thanks to a treasure like the God Advent Tower and his massive wealth, he had managed to survive an attack of a Supremacy.
Just from the looks of it, Supremacy Gulan could not glean the history of the God Advent Tower that had been shrunk an unknown number of times. After all, the Azure Yang Lord was a figure that existed about forty to fifty million years ago.
When the Azure Yang Lord reigned in the Yang God Empyrean Heaven, Supremacy Gulan’s great-grandfather had yet to be born. In addition to the Yang God Empyrean Heaven being so far from the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, Supremacy Gulan obviously could not recognize the God Advent Tower, even if he was very knowledgeable.
However, there was no doubt in the God Advent Tower’s value.
“Elder Shi, Elder Duanmu, how are the both of you?” Supremacy Gulan looked at the two Luo Divine Hall Elders that had been severely injured by Daoist You Ming. After he verified that Yi Yun was fine, Supremacy Gulan went to treat the two Elders’ injuries.
There was no way to express his gratitude towards such a large matter. Yi Yun took a note of the two Elders who had risked their lives to save him.
The people from the Oracle Fey Empire arrived. They were previously situated very far away, and with the energy storms distorting space, they were only vaguely aware of what had happened. They were extremely astonished to see that Yi Yun had managed to survive an attack of a Supremacy? | 2019-04-23T14:19:37 | https://webnovel.online/true-martial-world/chapter-958 |
Discussion in 'Batteries / Chargers / Power Supplies' started by econpatric, Dec 23, 2012.
Hey guys. Wondering about my lipos. I have two 3 month old lipo batteries both were bought at the same time. Both of the have 6-7 cycles. After each cycle (within an hour) they were set to 11.40v for storage. Yesterday I charged them both a .5c. One would not balance and hung at around 12.40v the charger timed out twice.
I am wondering if the battery is just acting up from being new and in storage for most of its life? or is there a bigger issue with one of the cells? How do I proceed?
How much out of balance is the cell? Timing out at 12.4V suggests it's 0.2V out of balance. That's not huge, so what I would do it just keep cycling it until you get it to balance. Chargers normally use a fairly primitive method to balance the cells. They simply discharge the cells with higher voltage until they come down to the voltage of the lowest voltage cell. The problem is that the discharge current used is very low, sometimes as low as 0.5A.
IMHO it most likely says more about your charger than the battery.
I had (still have) a cheap Turnigy charger, which considering the price was ok, but it occasionally did exactly what you describe, it just took forever then ultimately failed to balance and top up a battery. Usually I just went and flown with the battery it would balance next time round.
I got myself an icharger 3010b earlier this year and have never since had a single battery fail to balance promptly, the batteries are the same, only the charger changed.
Thanks for the input Steve. My charger is a Hitec X4 AC and is fairly new (about a year). I am surprised to think that it could be the charger. Hard to believe (and pisses me off to think) that I may need to look once again at a charger.
I doubt its faulty as such, just that some chargers seem to sometimes make a bit of a meal of balancing a battery. It's not usually a huge deal, just let the charger do it's best and providing the cells are reasonably close the pack is good to use.
Of course it could still be the battery, give it a cycle and see how it goes.
Well, over the last week I did what NJSwede said and it seemed to work to bring the cell back up. However, starting out, this cell was a lot lower than I originally stated and now is closer to that 12.4v mark after 3 cycles. I used a battery alarm (set fairly high) and mainly flew circles so I knew when the cell was beginning to get low enough to cause issues.
With this being an issue on several batteries in the past, and after Steve_B's comments, I couldn't help but re-think my approach to charging with the Hitec X4 AC/DC Multi-Charger. When I bought the charger, I had thought that it would be nice to be able to charge 4 batteries at once, but with the new parallel charging boards a person could do that with a single port device and have way more power to throw at all of them. In addition, I have also been very disappointed with the charging performance on my 6s 5000mah batteries.
With the plan to buy a 3DHS 74" Edge, and having a couple of 60" planes and a 550 Heli, I needed to do something, as I will be using more of these larger batteries. After reading a few discussions on "the best chargers" I decided to go with the Power Lab 6 which I picked up last night from http://www.epbuddy.com/. I also decided to go with the Solid Hobby Power24 EC5 (http://www.solidhobby.com/) based on Doc Austins' 24+ Review. I PM'd Jeremy and he seems like an upstanding guy, he explained that this power supply was designed with the PowerLabs in mind. I had no hesitation about going with his product.
I'll upload some pictures of the units set up together as soon as they arrive.

Interesting indeed, those melodies felt fresh and nicely put together in that 'future bass-esque' landscape!
Magnificent! And a little bit magical. I like the vibe. Halting and glitchy but also lush and melodic at the same time.
The panning in this track is lovely. | 2019-04-21T08:25:17 | https://weeklybeats.com/milkish/music/something |
