This morning, my English teacher gave us a competition about calligraphy. Before I donít think I have some difficulties in calligraphy. But this morning, I found I was wrong. The words in my pen look ugly. I donít know how I can make them look beautiful. I asked my teachers and friends, but they just said that I should write more and more. That is OK. My question is in American how people practise their calligraphy? Thank you.
As with anything else, the secret is to practice. When I studied calligraphy, I practiced by incorporating it into my everyday life - at work, I took messages and jotted down notes using chancery cursive, and at home I used it to write down my shopping lists and personal correspondence.
If by "calligraphy" you mean penmanship, here's a site you'll really love! (It's free.) Click on the link below. When you get to the site, type a short sentence into the box, hit "make worksheet", and the program will generate your own personalized handwriting worksheet. You can print the sheet and trace the letters. That's one way to practise good penmanship.


High School Attended: School of Business and Management at Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center Years in ACAP: 2011, 2012 College Attending & Major: University of Texas at Austin; Major: Accounting ACAP Reflections: "I was given a small tasted of what college would be like before being fully shocked when getting here. The assignments and lectures that we had to fulfill during our week at SMU reflect just what college is all about. I was part of the program for two years, and I must say that what I received from it is amazing. ACAP opened my eyes to what college would really be. I must admit that at the time I attended the program, I thought college would be easier. Boy, was I wrong! However, thanks to my exposure through ACAP, I was able to salvage my semester and not crash and burn like many freshmen do.
ACAP played a huge factor in what I have decided to do in college. ACAP taught me that networking is a vital part of career growth; therefore, I joined two organizations upon arrival to UT.
Due to my networking achieved through ACAP Week, I was able to land an opportunity with Deloitte for a summer Leadership program that I was excited about.
I am also grateful because being in ACAP gave me an advantage in many things that have come across my path here at UT. For example, assignments fostered through both years that I was there helped me solve assignments I've had for class. Since ACAP, I have come across four to five projects in which I create my own company, and thanks to ACAP, I was prepared to tackle them all and excel in them. If I had an opportunity to change something in my past four years, it would be to become involved with ACAP much sooner than I did".
Accomplishments to Date: Full ride to UT All other accomplishments were achieved in high school; therefore, not placed here because it is to leave room for the many accomplishments that will be achieved in the burnt orange capital.


- Extend Muscle
- Support Size and
Lean Muscle Gains*
UNLIMITED MUSCLE GAINS
ISOGAINER hits hard with a massive 60 grams of protein per serving thanks to Nutrabolics’ signature 5-stage, triple isolate protein matrix. Each premium protein polymer in this matrix releases at a different speed, keeping you anabolic for hours!*
This lean smart gainer is enriched with an advanced complex carbohydrate blend to help support glycogen replenishment, insulin output and optimal energy levels.* ISOGAINER is also engineered with 2,500 mg of Nutrabolics’ Anabolic Activating Matrix (including Alpha Lipoic Acid) to extend your anabolic potential. ISOGAINER will push your body’s muscle mass to new limits while supporting lean muscle definition.* This high-tech gainer represents precision mass building at its finest.
PUSH THE LIMITS OF YOUR
SIZE AND LEAN MUSCLE MASS
ISOGAINER is a “smart-gainer” that is designed to support moderate mass-building while helping to keep gains as lean and consistent as possible.*
This precision formula is perfect for mesomorphs and serious bodybuilders wanting to take their physique to the next level. ISOGAINER contains complex carbs that help stabilize insulin fluctuations in the bloodstream while supporting glycogenesis and cell volume.* Unlike typical gainers, there are no arbitrarily added simple sugars or fillers.
INCREASE YOUR ANABOLIC ENDURANCE*
At ISOGAINER’s core is a premium 5-Stage Sustained-Release Protein Matrix. This blend is scientifically designed to provide high levels of a specific ratio of amino acids that are suggested to stimulate extended protein synthesis for maximum muscle growth as you train.*
Rapid-release proteins, such as whey protein isolate, are complemented by slower-digesting proteins like casein hydrolysate. The overall action of these proteins results in a constant nourishment of your muscle tissues. When combined with the anabolic activating matrix containing nutrient transporters like Alpha Lipoic Acid and Arginine, this heavy-duty smart gainer is primed to keep your body in an anabolic state for up to 8 hours!*
OPTIMIZE GLYCOGEN REPLENISHMENT
Each serving of ISOGAINER contains a precision complex carbohydrate blend including barley and oat fiber, which supports the efficient replenishment of the glycogen system. These carbs also steadily trigger the insulin response necessary to effectively transport amino acids into muscle tissues while promoting healthy removal of the catabolic hormone cortisol - powering even the most grueling workouts*
ATTAIN YOUR CALORIC INTAKE GOALS
Whole-foods are important in any bodybuilder’s diet, but given the frequency you need to eat, the high cost of healthy foods, and the inconvenience of carrying around pounds of food with you, gainers can be the secret weapon of champions. ISOGAINER provides a large 691 calorie dosage of muscle building macros in just 1 serving! Each shake mixes smoothly and delivers the nutrients you need to help pack on slabs of lean mass.* Add it to your diet and training program and you’ll be shocking your muscles into overgrowth.
WHAT MAKES ISOGAINER A “SMART” GAINER?
Science. Many weight gainers are notorious for boosting their total calorie count by simply using a giant serving size. Other more unscrupulous companies simply load their formulation up with simple sugars and fat. After consumption, these basic gainers typically cause a massive insulin spike that triggers fat-storage and promotes lethargy - not exactly an efficient way to gain muscle mass.
What makes ISOGAINER unique from ordinary gainers is its innovative lean blend that is scientifically derived from precisely balanced, premium ingredients. This advanced mass gainer contains a super-dense 5-Stage Protein Matrix, complex carbohydrates, and our Anabolic Activating Matrix. Just 1 serving of ISOGAINER is designed to keep your body in an anabolic state for hours on end and facilitate huge gains in size and lean muscle mass.*
IF I WANT TO BUILD SIZE, CAN’T I JUST EAT JUNK FOOD?
Sure, you’ll build size that way - but it will be size around your gut! Imagine eating fast food 24 hours a day. While it might make you huge, it can never promote the kind of quality muscle and size gains that serious athletes achieve.
To build large amounts of lean muscle tissue you need a high calorie diet with the perfect balance of quality macronutrients to promote efficient muscle building and recovery. With ISOGAINER you are getting everything you need to crush your previous size gains, while keeping you on track to a well-defined physique.*
WILL TAKING A GAINER MAKE ME LOOK BLOATED?
Not when it comes to ISOGAINER. Our formula does not contain the excessive simple sugars, saturated fats, and fillers found in ordinary gainers, so you can expect bloating to be a thing of the past. What you will notice while using ISOGAINER in combination with a regular workout regimen is lean growth in your musculature and extended anabolic endurance, so you are primed to shatter all of your previous size records.*

It provides technologies and services to both the public and the private area, with the purpose of promoting knowledge on the fundamental mechanism governing physiological and pathological aspects in living organism, starting from basic research in life sciences to the study of human diseases and of innovative therapeutic interventions. The ultimate aim is to explore new opportunities for ameliorating the health of mankind.
The fundamental activities regard oncology, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, immunology and infectious diseases, epidemiology and health care research, Biology and biomedical technologies. In these areas, some technologies have been developed and they have found a wider use in the different benchmark areas: proteomics, pharmacogenomics, advanced calculus in bioinformatics and system biology, robotic systems for the limbs’ rehabilitation, molecular diagnostics and imaging.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder for which prevalence has been increasing steadily all over the world, currently affecting more than 400 million people. Patients with type 2 diabetes are typically resistant to insulin action and their insulin production by the β cells is insufficient to maintain normal glucose levels. This results in chronic hyperglycemia that causes harmful macrovascular and microvascular complications, with high burden for the healthcare systems. Elucidating the type 2 diabetes pathogenesis, and in particular β-cell dysfunction, is thus of great importance
Just like mechanical properties and chemical compositions of materials are of fundamental importance in buildings, the cells that build up every living organism have different properties and shapes depending on their function and state. Uncontrolled modifications in the cells elasticity, or in the elasticity of any biological tissues in general, are symptoms and effects of pathologies
It emerges from a study on plant remedies used in Italian folk medicine between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries conducted by researchers at the Institute for Agricultural and Forest Systems in the Mediterranean in collaboration with the Institute of Neurological Sciences of the National Research Council (Cnr). In this work, about 42% of the plant-based treatments utilized by Italian folk medicine to heal headache seems to represent the continuity of the medical tradition over about two thousand years. The results were published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology
A new study, lead by the group of Daniele Catalucci from the Cnr-Irgb (Milan, Italy) and part of the EU-funded project CUPIDO, demonstrated that nanoparticle-based therapeutic peptides can effectively be delivered to the diseased heart via inhalation. Their results, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, represent the first proof-of-concept for an unconventional and pioneering approach with inhalable nanoparticles to pharmacologically treat cardiac conditions
The human brain uses the signals that come from the senses to adjust its behavior: for example, we hurry to turn off the stove if we feel the smell of burned from the roast that we are baking. In people suffering from neurological or psychiatric illnesses such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, schizophrenia, these mechanisms are compromised and the processing of incoming sensory signals is altered due to communication distortions in neuronal networks
A team led by Elvira De Leonibus (Neuropsychormacology lab at the Institute of Genetics and Biophysics of the Italian National research council, Igb-Cnr), in Naples and Telethon Institute of Genetic and Medicine in Pozzuoli) in collaboration with Barbara Picconi from Fondazione Santa Lucia and Paolo Calabresi from the University of Perugia has identified a new mechanism of cellular memory induced by motor learning, which is impaired in the early phases of Parkinson’ disease
Cnr (Ibfm, Unit of Lecco, and Isti, Pisa) is partner of the NESTORE project (Non-intrusive empowering solutions and technologies for older people to retain everyday life activity) recently funded by the H2020 Programme under Strategic Challenge 1 'Health, demographic change and wellbeing' in response to the call on healthy ageing.

My first rotation after my holiday break was Medicine. Medicine was an interesting rotation, full of interesting people. Again, like the two other clinical rotations I’ve done, I saw a variety of medical issues. While it felt like there was more variety of nutrition diagnoses in the Medicine rotation compared to the Psychiatry and SCI rotations, there were still trends. I conducted many diabetes educations and spoke with many patients about reducing salt intake. Courtesy of the GI team, I observed a colonoscopy which was kind of neat.
As I continue through my clinical rotations, my patients are becoming increasingly more complex. In Psychiatry and SCI, I would end up with 1-2 nutrition diagnoses per patient. In Medicine, it was more along the lines of 1-3. Sometimes we (my preceptor and I) had nutrition consults placed, in addition to the normal assessments and follow-ups we had.
Medicine is much more acute care than the Psychiatry and SCI rotations. In Psychiatry and SCI, the patients were in the hospital for anywhere from 7-90 days. Sometimes patients in those wards had even longer stays. In Medicine, the patients were not typically in the hospital for very long. Most were there for a procedure and would only be in the ward 2-3 days. Some transferred from the ICU to the ward once they were stable. Some of the patients ended up in ICU. Since Medicine is an acute care rotation, I didn’t follow the patients long term. Some of the patients needed long-term follow-up with a dietitian so I ended up handing out a lot of referrals and phone numbers and encouraging patients to call once they were home.
During this rotation, I really had to learn how to decide when nutrition education is appropriate. As an RD-to-be, whenever I walk into a room to see a patient, I want to help them learn something to keep them from having to come back to the hospital for the same reason. However, sometimes the patients just don’t want the education. Sometimes, you just have to try to plant a little “seed” in the patient’s head and hope that they become interested later on. Sometimes, you have to try to approach the situation from a different way and change your topic entirely. Learning how to best provide nutrition education is probably going to be a lifelong challenge.
One of the most important things I learned during this rotation is how to introduce myself to other healthcare staff. When you start asking questions about a patient and a nurse or doctor responds “Who are you?” your answer should be “I’m with Dietetics” or “I’m from Nutrition” not a cheerfully delivered “I’m Christine!” (Yes, I did that, and yes, it was very airheaded and bubbly. It was actually a little funny, now that it’s in the past.) Best way to stave off any awkwardness is to introduce yourself as “Hi, I’m with Dietetics and I’ve got a few questions about [Patient’s name.]” You can give your name later, if necessary.
My Medicine rotation happened to coincide with that horrible Polar Vortex that made for (what everyone tells me was) an unusually cold St. Louis and a whole bunch of snow. Some of the RDs couldn’t make it in because their streets were too dangerous to drive. Others were late. Some, like me, ended up with car troubles because of the weather. It was amazing, though, to see everyone get together and figure out coverage.


Toronto: Screen Media Takes Worldwide Rights to Michael Biehn's 'Tapped'

The bendy body moves can lower bad cholesterol, fight migraines and even lessen depression, research shows. Try this pose from yoga guru Rodney Yee: Lie on your back with your butt as close to a wall as possible, legs straight up and pressed against the wall. Hold for three to 10 minutes while breathing deeply.
It has been shown to improve heart health and cut stress, and some research suggests it may bolster your immunity. “I tell every patient to start their morning with at least two minutes of mini meditation,” says Dr. Merrell. Sit quietly, eyes closed, and clear your mind and just breathe. Simple, but powerful.
Just pressing on certain points on the body has been shown to reduce nausea and fight pain. Next time you feel a headache coming on, says Dr. Merrell, try this: Firmly massage the tender spot in the web of skin between your thumb and index finger for 60 seconds.

The son of a founding revolutionary of the Chinese Communist Party has penned an open letter, published in a Hong Kong newspaper, telling Chinese leader Xi Jinping to end one-party dictatorship and transform China into a democracy.
“If you really want to eliminate corruption,” writes Luo Yu, who is now 71 and lives in the United States, “the only way is to introduce democracy in a gradual and orderly fashion.”
“China is beset by crises: a crisis in faith, morality, the environment, the economy, finance, education, medicine, and natural resources,” Luo continues. “Why? The root of all the problems is the one-party dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party.”
The remarkable open letter was published in the Hong Kong-based Chinese newspaper Apple Daily on Dec. 3.
Luo Yu joins the growing list of former Party cadres, Chinese dissidents, and veteran China watchers who are predicting that the Chinese regime is teetering on collapse, in contrast to the image of a rising superpower the authorities seek to project to the world.
The letter also comes at a time when the top Party leadership seems increasingly paranoid that the regime will collapse if it wavers from orthodox Marxist beliefs.
The Luo and Xi families have a deep history together, as indicated in how Luo addresses Xi Jinping as “brother Xi.”
He opens the letter by reminding Xi of the close relationship their parents shared. Luo Ruiqing, a very early Party member and the founder of the regime’s public security apparatus, and Xi Zhongxun, who formerly headed the Party’s propaganda department, became “intimate friends” after both were made vice premiers of the State Council—the equivalent of China’s cabinet—in 1959.
Their wives would watch plays at the Great Hall of the People together, and visited each other after Luo Ruiqing’s death from illness in 1978. They maintained contact after Xi Zhongxun was placed under house arrest—partly orchestrated by fallen Politburo member Bo Xilai’s father, Bo Yibo—in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen after Xi Zhongxun backed reform-minded Chinese premier Hu Yaobang in the 1980s.
In the letter, Luo then congratulates Xi Jinping on staying in power despite an attempted coup by a rival political faction (consisting of former Politburo member and Chongqing strongman Bo Xilai and Zhou Yongkang, the former security chief), but insists that his anti-corruption campaign to rectify the Party will ultimately lead to its collapse.
“The entire Communist Party is rotten. No official isn’t corrupt, and by opposing corruption, you are opposing the Party,” Luo writes. “And in the Politburo Standing Committee, you have one supporter, one neutral, and four awaiting your fall.” There are seven members in the current Standing Committee, including Xi Jinping.
With myriad problems plaguing China and speeding the regime’s collapse, Luo Yu says Xi should allow a free press, allow the formation of new political parties, hold democratic elections, establish an independent judiciary, and turn over control of the military from the Party to the nation.
“You said at the United Nations: ‘Peace, development, equity, justice, democracy, and freedom are common values of all mankind’ … Please don’t say one thing and do another,” Luo writes.
“The Cultural Revolution, the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and the persecution of Falun Gong are all cases of the Party leading the way in violating the law,” Luo writes.
In concluding the letter, Luo says: “Our fathers were key revolutionaries of Mao Zedong … But after the revolution, instead of a democratic government, we have a dictatorship. That’s the difference between Mao and America’s George Washington.”
“I thought we could speak discreetly, being brothers from a similar background,” Luo adds, alluding to their heritage as princelings, or children of revolutionary leaders. “But as there are no channels for communication in a dictatorship, I have to resort to yelling from across the ocean.”

Mrs. Nitmos and I are escaping for a much needed vacation (re: once you have kids, any time apart is now deemed “vacation” even if you happen to use that time sitting in your kitchen watching the bushes grow through the window). In this case, however, we are traveling to my ancestral birth home of Traverse City, Michigan. I’m an aboriginal Traverse Citite. It is here that we can deposit the loin apples off at their grandparents by slowing to 10 mph, placing foot in middle of back, and jettisoning them out the car door into the nearest snow bank. I reach out and snip the rope that is holding their suitcase to the top of the car and it clunk clunk clunks off the back and down the road we bound. I believe Mel Gibson, as William Wallace in Braveheart, said it best as he was being impaled and gutted: “FRRRRRREEEEEEEDDDOOOOOMMMMMMM!”
I’ve been invited* to TC to judge** the First Annual Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival. Now anyone that reads this blog would think to themselves, “But, Nitmos, shouldn’t you be performing at a comedy arts festival? You are hilarious and your biceps are strong.” Guilty. I can’t defend either charge so I’ll just let the anonymous mid-post blog comment stand (though I’m slightly embarrassed.) No, I won’t be performing. They thought it best that I mix in with the commoners, buy my own ticket, and stand in line like everyone else. These guys sure are sticklers about not drawing attention to me.
TC is remaking itself into the Sundance of the Midwest except for all of those pesky crowds and celebrities and national media attention. The annual TC Film Festival in late July is going strong into its 6th year. We even attracted Madonna one year!*** And what a thrill it was to see The Kite Runner a few months before anyone else. /sarcasm
We are slated to see Jeff Garlin, Whitney Cummins, and – yes, she still apparently does stand up comedy – Roseanne Barr. Jealous much?
However, the Jokey McJokesters are really ancillary to the weekend. The important equation here is:
Me + Mrs. Nitmos + wine and/or rum x my biceps – kids = A little slice of heaven
For much of the weekend, Mrs. Nitmos and I will be nipple deep in a nice warm hot tub when not laughing at comedians. Or drinking. Or both. We’ll scrap the condensation off the hotel windows while wearing our big fluffy robes and scoff at the mounds of snow outside.
Winter will be our bitch.
At least, it will be for a few days. Let my wrinkle finger shine.
*through mass email marketing
** the festival calls it “a paying customer”
***insert your own penicillin joke here…something like: she couldn’t come back the next year because it costs too much to inoculate the town.
So far, I’ve hit every scheduled run for February. To ease the pounding on some tender knees, I took last Saturday’s 15 mile long run on the treadmill thankyouverymuch. Post-run, whipped and starving, I ran into an impromptu baked goods sale in the lobby of the gym. A cherry cupcake with vanilla frosting? Yes, please. Oh my God, it tasted great. I've never been good at metaphors but, let me give it a shot here, it tasted like....like...an angel shit in my mouth.
I’ll be doing my scheduled long run for this weekend tonight so as not to interfere with my wrinkle finger plans.
I did a poll last week about what you think about when running. I admitted to being a non-thinker. And it looks like most of you are as well. A whopping 58% (25/43 votes) don't think when you run.

Since Wind Mobile Corp.'s beginnings, the company has enjoyed strong support from Ottawa, as the Conservative government doggedly pursued a telecom policy aimed at encouraging alternatives to the dominant national wireless carriers – Rogers Communications Inc., Telus Corp. and BCE Inc.
With a new government under Justin Trudeau about to take over this week, Wind will be looking for signs that the feds remain committed to helping a fourth wireless provider succeed.
Wind CEO Alek Krstajic, who took over the top post last March, says he is optimistic the Liberal government will take a similar approach to its predecessor, "doing what's right for consumers." While managing relations with Ottawa and fending off a powerful trio of opponents won't be easy, those who have worked with the unassuming telecom executive over the years say he comes to the task well equipped.
"That company [Wind] is in an entrepreneurial state and it is taking on big incumbents, and it's a little bit of David and Goliath and I think Alek likes that," said Michael Sabia, CEO of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, who was chief executive of BCE in the mid-2000s, when Mr. Krstajic was president of its Bell Mobility division.
"He thinks like an entrepreneur … [and] people with an entrepreneurial outlook were not that common many years ago at Bell," Mr. Sabia said, adding he believes the current culture at his former company has changed. "Alek is one of those guys who turns the telescope around and looks in the other end."
During an interview in his Toronto office, Mr. Krstajic said Wind's biggest priorities right now are putting strong customer-service policies in place, improving its patchy 3G network and upgrading to the next generation of mobile service, known as LTE (long-term evolution).
An initial public offering is possible down the road – "not next year, we'll probably start looking the year after," he said – but only at the right valuation. That depends on getting operations into good shape and seeing strong momentum in the business. Wind had 800,000 customers last year and observers say it is likely closer to one million now, although he has declined to reveal subscriber figures.
Mr. Krstajic said he hopes the government will continue to reserve cellular airwaves for smaller players, and that the telecom regulator will set low rates for the wholesale prices Wind pays the Big Three when its customers roam outside of its own service areas in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta. (The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is in the midst of a costing exercise to finalize those rates.)
He has a history of being on the winning side of government decisions. After departing BCE, he launched the startup carrier Public Mobile at the same time that fellow new entrants Mobilicity and Wind Mobile were getting off the ground. By 2013, investors in all three were looking for exits, but securing government approval for a sale to one of the incumbents began to seem impossible.
Yet Mr. Krstajic played a part in two deals many thought couldn't get done: the sale of Public Mobile to Telus two years ago and this summer's complex transaction that saw Rogers buy Mobilicity, as well as spectrum from Shaw Communications Inc., and transfer about half of the airwaves it acquired to Wind.
Peter Thomson, the co-founder of Thomvest Seed Capital Inc., which was one of Public Mobile's major backers, said getting out of the Public Mobile investment at the end "was a tough go."
"He doesn't accept a 'no.' There's always a way with him," added Mr. Thomson, who is also co-chairman of his family's holding company, Woodbridge Co. Ltd., which owns The Globe and Mail.
John Tory, who was Mr. Krstajic's boss at the cable division of Rogers in the late 1990s and early 2000s, noted similar qualities. "He never gave up, right until the last day of any given quarter," said Mr. Tory, now mayor of Toronto. "I think he probably has applied the same approach to every deal he's done."
The federal industry minister who presided over those decisions, James Moore, said he was persuaded that both deals met the twin goals of getting airwaves in the hands of players who would actually put them to use, plus increasing competition.
"It's not the government's aspiration – and it has not been – to be stubborn about spectrum capacity to the point where consumers and Canadian firms suffer," he said in an interview shortly before the federal election.
Mr. Moore said his government succeeded in getting more airwaves into the hands of the industry's three largest players, as well as smaller players such as Quebecor Inc.'s wireless division, Videotron Ltd., Eastlink and Wind.
"From where Wind was, from people looking at them as a company that was going nowhere, to now – being recapitalized, re-energized and with a broad spectrum capacity – I think in the wireless world they're going to be a very fascinating story to watch for the next little while," Mr. Moore said last month.
A spokesman for the Liberal Party declined to comment specifically on telecom policy priorities last week, pointing to the party's platform commitments.
Scotia Capital Inc. analyst Jeff Fan predicted in a research report that a Liberal majority government could be a "fresh and positive change" for the incumbents, but he also noted that the new government will have some time before it has to make major decisions on the wireless industry. An auction for spectrum in the 600-megahertz range, for instance, would have to wait until after the United States concludes its own process on the airwaves – some of which will be repurposed from broadcasting for wireless services – as the countries have agreed to co-ordinate.
"Here's the way I think about it," said Greg MacDonald, telecom analyst with Macquarie Capital Markets. "I did not hear the word 'telecom' mentioned once in the campaign. There's a lot the Liberals want to do, none of which is telecom." He said he doesn't expect the new government to make dramatic changes to policies that have helped support fourth wireless players.
Since taking over as CEO, Mr. Krstajic has been building his team, replacing some former top executives – former CEO Tony Lacavera's business partners in Globalive Capital – with his own long-time confidants. Bob Boron, Wind's new chief regulatory officer, and Bruce Kirby, chief strategy officer and interim chief financial officer, both worked with Mr. Krstajic at Public Mobile.
And in July, he convinced Glen Campbell, a veteran telecom analyst who had earned the respect of the industry over almost two decades at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, to join Wind as chief commercial officer.
"In business today, the word 'team' is so overused as to be verging on the meaningless. But Alek actually does, in the real sense, create a sense of a team of people," Mr. Sabia said. "He engages with you both intellectually and emotionally, and that's how you create a real sense of loyalty with people."
Mr. Krstajic said the company is now in the midst of finalizing a financing contract with a network equipment vendor and plans to announce an agreement within weeks.
Wind doesn't have an immediate need to raise capital, he said, noting that it made about $80-million selling spectrum licences it acquired in the Mobilicity transaction to Manitoba Telecom Services Inc. and SaskTel.
"The business is EBITDA [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization]-positive, and most of the network expansion will be built with vendor financing and some cash."
The first step will be turning on some of the spectrum acquired from Mobilicity out west, he said, then building the LTE network. "By the end of 2016, beginning of 2017, I think the Wind experience is going to be profoundly different than it is today.
"A lot of our customers stay with us because the value is really compelling and they're price-sensitive. But I don't think there are any customers – even at Rogers, Bell or Telus – who wouldn't say, 'I wish I had a more robust network.'"
While the incumbents report average revenue per user (ARPU) in the range of $60, Wind's is in the "mid 30s, heading to the mid-40s," Mr. Krstajic said. The plan is to remain well below the incumbents, he said, but added, "There's no need for us to be trying to take subscribers in an accelerated fashion by staying in the 30s."
Videotron, which owns spectrum licences outside of Quebec, said recently it would not build its own network outside its home province but that it was open to selling the airwaves or partnering with Wind.
Mr. Krstajic said he wasn't with the company when it was last in active discussions with Videotron, and now, "We'd be open to having a conversation about the spectrum being rolled in, but that wouldn't give them control of the organization," he said.
"I think we could see wanting to buy the spectrum, but I don't think there's a need to go and hurry and do that now," he added. Videotron owns some low-band airwaves, which play an important role in improving in-building service, but Mr. Krstajic also sees a path to similar spectrum through the likely auction of 600-MHz airwaves.
For now, he said, "It's just heads down and getting stuff done. Blocking and tackling and improving the fundamentals."


How Majestic Is Your Name
8 O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your qname in all the earth!
You have set your rglory above the heavens.
2 sOut of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established tstrength because of your foes,
to still uthe enemy and the avenger.
the moon and the stars, xwhich you have set in place,
and crowned him with dglory and honor.
6 You have given him edominion over the works of your hands;
fyou have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
A Time for Everything
3 For everything there is a season, and la time for every matter under heaven:
2 a time to be born, and a time to mdie;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 a time to nweep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to odance;
a time to embrace, and a time to rrefrain from embracing;
6 a time to seek, and a time to slose;
a time to keep, and a time to tcast away;
7 a time to utear, and a time to sew;
a time to vkeep silence, and a time to speak;
8 a time to love, and a time to whate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
The God-Given Task
9 What xgain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen ythe business that zGod has given to the children of man to be busy with. 11 He has amade everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot bfind out what God has done from the beginning to the end. 12 I perceived that there is cnothing better for them than to be joyful and to ddo good as long as they live; 13 also ethat everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is fGod’s gift to man.
The Final Judgment
31 i“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, jthen he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him kwill be gathered lall the nations, and mhe will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates nthe sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. 34 Then othe King will say to pthose on his right, ‘Come, you qwho are blessed by my Father, rinherit sthe kingdom tprepared for you ufrom the foundation of the world. 35 For vI was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you wgave me drink, xI was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 vI was naked and you clothed me, yI was sick and you zvisited me, aI was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And bthe King will answer them, c‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these dmy brothers,1 you did it to me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, e‘Depart from me, you fcursed, into gthe eternal fire prepared for hthe devil and his angels. 42 For iI was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, jyou did not do it to me.’ 46 And these will go away kinto eternal punishment, but the righteous kinto leternal life.”
The New Heaven and the New Earth
21 Then I saw ya new heaven and a new earth, for zthe first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw athe holy city, bnew Jerusalem, ccoming down out of heaven from God, dprepared eas a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, fthe dwelling place1 of God is with man. He will gdwell with them, and they will be his people,2 and God himself will be with them as their God.3 4 hHe will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and ideath shall be no more, jneither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
5 And khe who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I lam making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for mthese words are trustworthy and true.” 6 And he said to me, n“It is done! oI am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. pTo the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.


MANILA, Philippines - Pork barrel scam whistle-blower Benhur Luy testified again yesterday at a Makati court that his personal peso and dollar deposits with Metrobank were transferred to the accounts of businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles while he was allegedly being illegally detained at a house in Magallanes Village in Makati.
During the continuation of the hearing at the Makati Regional Trial Court Branch 150 on the illegal detention complaint he filed against Napoles, Luy told the court that he learned that while he was being held at Napoles’ house at 52 Lapu Lapu St. in Magallanes Village, the businesswoman allegedly forged his signature on withdrawal slips and debit memos and transferred P800,000 from his account with Metrobank’s Julia Vargas street branch in Ortigas to the account of the businesswoman’s firm JLN on Dec. 20, 2012.
Luy added that his dollar account at Metrobank with a balance of $13,761 was closed on Dec. 27, 2012, allegedly also on Napoles’ orders.
Luy said he only knew of the transfer of his bank accounts and the withdrawals shortly after his rescue by the National Bureau of Investigation on March 22, 2013.
“I did not cause the preparations of those withdrawal slips,” said Luy during his direct examination by prosecution lawyer Henry Salazar.
Under direct examination, Luy also told the court that while he was being illegally detained, Napoles padlocked his unit at One Lafayette condominium at Eastwood City in Quezon City.
Luy told the court that during his illegal detention, he was deprived of access to his condominium unit and his personal items inside valued at some P1 million.
He presented in court a three-page handwritten inventory of the items inside the padlocked condominium unit.
In the hearing last Oct. 2, JLN’s former employee Merlina Pablo Sunas also testified that Napoles became so angry at her cousin Luy for allegedly entering into secret deals with the chiefs-of-staff of some senators that she ordered the money in Luy’s bank accounts transferred to JLN’s accounts using his forged signature.
Meanwhile, the court also accepted yesterday the resignation of Alfredo Villamor as lawyer of Napoles in the illegal detention case.
Villamor was replaced as Napoles’ lead counsel by Stephen David, who will also serve as her lawyer in her plunder case before the Sandiganbayan.
David will be assisted by Napoles’ spokesman Bruce Rivera as collaborating lawyer in the illegal detention case.
Luy will return to the witness stand in the Makati court on July 1 at 10 a.m. for cross-examination by the lawyers of Napoles.
Rivera told reporters that the defense panel is not trying to delay the illegal detention case hearing by constantly replacing lawyers.
Rivera said Villamor had resigned on Monday as Napoles’ lawyer after the recent deaths of his parents.
“We talked and he (Villamor) told me before his parents are sick. But I did not expect this to happen immediately. I would not want to blame him for the problems,” said Rivera.
Rivera said that Napoles’ defense panel in the illegal detention case would be hiring two additional lawyers.

Want to Sell Your Structured Settlement
By AFG Newswire Sept. 17, 2014 9:30 p.m.
Want to Sell Your Structured Settlement; Need too Much Future Medical Help?
Do you have your own health insurance? Is it sufficient to cover those future medical expenses? These are the types of questions and more that an independent professional adviser will ask you to help you assess whether or not you fit the criteria to be “granted” in court.
If you attempt to sell your payments, and get denied, it goes on record. Best to be as prepared as possible.
California Insurance Code 10139.5(b)(7) states “Whether the payee is, at the time of the proposed transfer, likely to require future medical care and treatment for the injuries that the payee sustained in connection with the incident that was the subject of the settlement and whether the payee lacks other resources, including insurance, sufficient to cover those future medical expenses”.
This clause is part of the “best interest” of the payee criteria the judge uses to see if it is in the “best interest” of the payee to sell their future payments. If the judge finds that it is not in your best interest, the sale does not go through.


FXX announced today that they’ve ordered 10 episodes of Man Seeking Woman, a new half-hour comedy created by former SNL writer Simon Rich and starring Jay Baruchel and Eric Andre.
Based on Rich’s book of short stories, The Last Girlfriend on Earth, Man Seeking Woman is a look at the world of dating centered on naive romantic Josh Greenberg (Baruchel). Rich will executive produce alongside Lorne Michaels and Jonathan Krisel, who directed the pilot and is known for being the in-house director/co-creator on Kroll Show and Portlandia. In addition to Baruchel and Andre, Britt Lower (Unforgettable) and Maya Erskine (Betas) are also series regulars. Man Seeking Woman is expected to premiere on FXX in 2015.
Man Seeking Woman will become FX offshoot FXX’s fourth current original comedy, joining It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The League, and Ali G: Rezurection. FXX’s Wilfred is set to end its run with its upcoming season and Tracy Morgan’s untitled new series is also coming to the network after its star recovers from a car accident that left him in critical condition. Eric Andre will presumably be able to work on Man Seeking Woman concurrently with his Adult Swim series The Eric Andre Show as they’re both short-run cable series. Man Seeking Woman will become Lorne Michaels’s eighth current show on the air, joining Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers, Portlandia, Seth Meyers’s Hulu series The Awesomes, and the upcoming Mulaney and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Prayer through suffering
The problem of suffering
Some of you like problems in maths that make you think and some of you may not be so keen on them!· All of these problems have an answer.· But there is one problem which is more difficult than any of them, the problem of why God allows suffering.· Why does he allow cruelty and war?
One reason is that he insists on our being real human beings with the freedom to choose good and evil. He will not turn us into robots so that we could only do what he told us to. So the real question is, not “Why does God allow the human race to do wrong and cause suffering?” but, “Why did he make the human race at all?” Well, God thought it was worth making us to share his life in Heaven in spite of all the sorrow and suffering that would result, and so we must leave it at that.
Sometimes suffering is caused by human wickedness, and sometimes by accidents or disease. It can be a punishment brought by people on themselves. For example, a gang of men may hold up a jeweller’s shop and steal several trays of rings and drive away in a stolen car, only to have a smash-up in escaping from the police. And if they are badly injured, it is entirely their own fault. On the other hand, their car, when it crashes, may injure a passer-by, someone who had nothing to do with the hold-up at all. It is true that God can bring good out of evil, and as a result of the accident that person may be brought to want God and so to love him. On the other hand, the passer-by may be a very holy man or woman.
So too with disease. In a hospital ward there may be all sorts, good and bad, but all are suffering.
Some people say that the suffering in the world shows that God either cannot end it or will not end it. If he cannot do it, they say, he is not all-powerful; and he will not end it, he is not all-good. But there is something they forget, and that is that God himself has shared our suffering on the Cross. And we remember that every time we say the Creed – “He suffered…” And that is the most important thing of all. Whatever the answer to the problem of suffering may be, it ceases to be a problem once we know that human beings do not suffer alone, because God also has suffered with them and suffered for them.


The employment relationship is to remain unchanged during maternity/paternity leave and parental leave. This means that the worker is entitled to return to his job upon the completion of maternity/paternity leave or parental leave. Should this not be possible, he shall be entitled to a comparable position with the employer according to a contract of employment.
The employer is not permitted to dismiss a worker due to the fact that he has given notice of intended maternity/paternity leave or parental leave or during his maternity/paternity leave or parental leave, without reasonable cause, and in such a case, the dismissal shall be accompanied by written arguments. The same rule applies to pregnant women, and women who have recently given birth.
This prohibition does not preclude a dismissal if the employer can show without any doubt whatsoever that the reason behind the dismissal is not related to the special status of the worker. This would apply in cases of dire economic difficulties experienced by the undertaking where all workers are treated equally when it comes to nominate those who are to be dismissed.

Dave Mustaine, the lead singer and guitarist of Megadeth, isn't running for president, but if he were, he revealed some of his policies last night during the thrash metal band's 90-minute concert inside a packed Lifestyle Communities Pavilion.
Dave Mustaine, the lead singer and guitarist of Megadeth, isn’t running for president, but if he were, he revealed some of his policies last night during the thrash metal band’s 90-minute concert inside a packed Lifestyle Communities Pavilion.
He introduced the song Foreclosure of a Dream by saying it was written about Reaganomics (the economic plan of Ronald Reagan’s presidency, not the local cover band), which he claimed shut down many family farms. “Without farms, we don’t eat,” Mustaine said. “What’s the wisdom in that choice?”
Prior to the song Countdown to Extinction, Mustaine claimed that Ted Turner was glad American troops were committing suicide, and he wished Turner was among them.
Finally, on the encore Holy Wars … The Punishment Due, Mustaine groused about how “the greatest country in the world” was giving countries like Pakistan billions of dollars in aid. If Mustaine were in charge, that money would be spent at home.
At that point, at least person yelled out, “Shut up, Dave!”
After getting off to a late start, Megadeth excelled when band members simply played their songs, and last night’s show featured the 1992 album Countdown to Extinction played in its entirety. Countdown was reissued this month for its 20th?anniversary.
Mustaine, the one constant of the group during its nearly 30 years, was joined by longtime member Dave Ellefson (bass/backing vocals), Shawn Drover (drums) and Chris Broderick (guitar/backing vocals).
The twin guitars of Mustaine and Broderick were terrific, especially when they were shredding together. This is all the more impressive when one considers that Mustaine once had to re-learn how to play guitar at the peak of his career when he suffered nerve damage.
Other standouts from this concert included the great songs Symphony of Destruction, Sweating Bullets, Peace Sells and Hangar 18.
This loud, sharp speed metal was augmented with a full-out visual barrage on three video screens. This was good, because the four long-haired men of Megadeth aren’t that exciting to watch. The videos included lots of explosions, kaleidoscopic chaos, chimps driving old cars, baby-kissing politicians and prison scenes. The best part was the amazing sky-diving videos used in High Speed Dirt.


Where should this story begin, of my lockdown fairy-tale? I could spend hours rehashing the mishaps, mistakes, weird but not wonderful dating world that I had endured prior to March 2020. However, we all have our own anecdotes, some worse than others.. some funny, others just downright disheartening. They say you have to kiss a lot of frogs to meet your Prince, and I can safely say I think I kissed enough frogs for several lifetimes.
Rewind to February this year, and I had just ended a short term fling with a man who seemed completely disillusioned to the fact that we were incompatible and cried into his pasta in a hip Soho restaurant, whereby I had to make a hasty exit – though fortunately took home my carbonara and breathed a sigh of relief settling into my carbs and what I thought may be several more years of singledom. Conversations ensued with my girlfriends, as one does – dissecting his faults, dissecting my own – questioning my expectations and wondering when that supposed ‘right one’ would come along.
Several days go by and I’m preparing for a friend’s 30th, let’s call her Jane. Jane has been a close friend for a number of years. Having known Jane for so long, I was under the impression that dinner would include every one of her friends whom I had met. Right? We’re all enjoying the festivities of what unbeknownst to us the last group dinner prior to lockdown, in an ambient Italian restaurant in East London. We’ve been at dinner about an hour, and two of her male friends walk in, neither of whom I recognised. The handsome blonde happened to sit down next to me, but given that blondes aren’t my type, I hadn’t really given him a second look. That is, until he sent a knife launching past my face in an attempt to slice his pizza. Some extremely heavy banter and flirting ensued, and all of a sudden we were holding hands under the table and casting hopeful looks at each other indicating we wanted to go home together after dinner.
In order to keep this PG, post dinner was amazing. We took ourselves to a little pub in Broadway Market and talked until the very wee hours of the morning.
However, come morning – here I am in last night’s clothes, having slept in my makeup, no toothbrush in preparation for being an overnight guest somewhere, so I thought it best to try slink away while he was sleeping. Much to my surprise and delight, he stopped me and asked where I was planning on escaping to. After admitting I wanted to sneak out and save myself the embarrassment, he instantly cut me off and said – “you can’t leave! I’m taking you out for brunch, that’s if you want to go?”
He kindly offered me a travel toothbrush, a hot shower and a t-shirt to change into from my completely see through blouse in order to save some dignity during the daylight. Walking to brunch, I was worried the magic of last night was a fabrication of alcohol and loneliness. Again, I was wrong. The conversation flowed, we were inseparable, and all of a sudden 3 hours had gone by.
Realising we had other weekend commitments, we hastily exchanged numbers and went our separate ways. Not 20 minutes had gone by – “when can I see you again?”, the smile on my face was irrefutable. In the days that ensued, lockdown came into full force, and we hadn’t even had a real date. He creatively suggested to come over and cook me dinner, bringing with him not only dinner material, wine, but also an amazing attitude to make this effort to see me. I had been ruminating over the week since our sleepover, that perhaps he would change his mind and use lockdown as an easy out. Cynical right?
That night we couldn’t stop talking, staying up until 5am absolutely engrossed in conversation, and we both later admitted that was the night we both knew we were soul mates.
So, what now? The world as we knew it had completely stopped, dating as we knew it was no longer an option. No one prepares you for navigating a global pandemic, whether that’s personally or professionally and this was indeed one scenario where we had no clue what the right thing was to do. After much discussion and debate about what we should do in order to keep our blossoming romance alive, we decided for me to move in with him temporarily.
Now I am a complete introvert and a deeply anxious person – so the inner monologue began. “Am I crazy? What if we fight and it all falls apart? You would never live with someone in normal circumstances?” on and on it went, until my best friend chimed in with – “but what have you got to lose? Either it works, or you find out sooner rather than later that he’s not the right one, saving you time”. Can’t argue with logic!
So, I packed elements of my life into a bag and went from my West London flat, to his East London apartment. Much to my surprise and delight, deciding to live together was the best decision we could have made. We spent hours upon hours talking about our lives, our hopes, fears, dreams, moments that shaped us, unravelling each other’s worlds – for two introverts, this was the soul food we had waited so long to find. We made our own fun, pizza picnic on the living room floor, 80’s dance parties with home-made cocktails, pancakes on Sunday mornings, and strolls hand in hand along the canal. We had discussed several times how in some bizarre inverse way – lockdown has enabled us to get to know each other as people, away from labels, routine, and all the fancy dates that you can hide behind and put your best face forward for. All you have is who you are, so you either like what you’re getting, or you don’t.
Now I had been made redundant in March and as any job seeker knows, lockdown has meant an infinite stream of rejections and hopeless moments of self-doubt and crippling anxiety. They say in moments of hardship you see someone’s true colours, and I was seeing his. He held me every time I cried, no solutions suggested, or forceful suggestion for me to cheer up, just comfort in response to my despair. Each morning I was woken with a cup of coffee and a cuddle. Any financial cost, he took on, from the online groceries, to a pastry in the local café. I was given the space to tackle my own problems in the best way I knew how, whilst having my hand held and a warm smile following me each step of the way.
In any other scenario, we would never have the chance or the idea to live together. But this pandemic forced our hand in making a decision – live together, or stay apart indefinitely? Living together fast tracked getting to know each other, and only revealed more and more each day that we were truly in love and wanted to be together. Periods of hardships bring out all your best and worst attributes. This period of hardship was pushing us together, urging us to both be supportive to each other, exercise compassion, creativity in creating romance and revealing ourselves truthfully. I can say sincerely that this experience has taught me the true meaning or real love. The love that doesn’t depends on beautiful outfits, ambient restaurants, flowers or gifts – but the love that’s there when you’re crying over yet another rejection letter. The love that is there when you’re unable to even buy yourself tampons. The love that is there reminding you that you are intelligent and capable. The love that is there finding beauty in all the flaws you hate about yourself.
I do write this article with the knowledge that lockdown has forced a lot of couples to breaking point, and I wholeheartedly express sympathy for those relationships which have ended. However, I also write with the hope that this story provides some of you with a small glisten of hope that someone out there will find you and love you exactly as you are. Not in spite of any flaws, but precisely because your humanness is what makes you who you are. Admittedly, I myself was becoming cynical and jaded and losing hope that love would ever knock on my door. But love found me, in a restaurant in East London, holding my hand shyly under a table. Sometimes the moments that change our lives are not loud, and don’t come crashing in tearing everything apart. Sometimes the most life changing moments, are quiet, calm, and sweet.
Whether you are single or in a relationship, I urge you to remember the qualities that we truly crave in a relationship. Not someone’s job title, their salary, which restaurant they will take you to. But whether they comfort you in moments of despair, whether they celebrate your wins as their own, whether they give their time and emotional support selflessly. I hope lockdown has given us all a new set of eyes from which to look at love and what is truly important. Because we all deserve to be loved the way we are.

New Zealand’s plantation forests provide benefits for many environmental services and processes such as clean water bodies and streams, erosion protection, storing carbon, and flood abatement as well as social benefits such as recreation. The plantation forest estate’s contribution to New Zealand’s indigenous biodiversity is one benefit that is often overlooked or hard to measure.
Rare and threatened species don’t just live in native forests
Many of New Zealand’s threatened species find favourable habitats in or adjacent to exotic plantation forests. Some may utilise plantation trees on a full-time basis including kiwi, falcon (karearea), Hochstetter’s frogs, and long-tailed bats. Other threatened species often utilise plantation forests to supplement food supplies but remain reliant on adjacent natural forest (e.g. kaka, kea, kakariki, and kereru). In either case, plantation forests provide key habitats for these species and, with careful management, contribute to their continued survival.
Within the plantation forest estate alone there could be as much as 200,000 hectares of indigenous forest remnants, riparian strips, watercourses and wetland. Many of New Zealand’s threatened species find favourable habitats in or adjacent to plantation forests.

For years I’ve heard home care agency owners tell stories of caregiver applicants not showing up for a scheduled job interview, an initial scheduled training session, or even a first shift. If you work in the home care industry then you know what usually happens next – they get added to the no-hire list or they get fired. I can’t help but wonder if putting many of these caregivers on a no-hire list is a good idea.
Bear with me, let’s jump to a marketing lesson. Research and experience have shown us that it can take many touches (that’s marketing speak for things like emails, phone calls, snail mail, etc.) to get a response from someone even if they have shown some interest in the past.
If someone fills out a form on our company website for some useful content, we will call them and then send them a series of emails (up to 10 over many weeks) until we get a response or a no. The response we are looking for at this point is only a conversation. Yes, only a conversation because we really don’t know at this point if we are a good match – do we have what this person (lead) needs? Can this lead be a good customer and partner to us? These are both very important questions that, if answered accurately, can save both time and money.
If we have a conversation with this interested lead and it looks like we might be a good match then we set up a walk-through of our software system and services. Our walk-throughs include an in-depth conversation about a potential relationship. Believe it or not, one-third to one-half of everyone that does a walk-through with us becomes a customer/partner. That’s because we take the time to really get to know them and their concerns. We demonstrate that we are the software company that can provide solutions to their concerns and help them grow their company.
Nurturing Your Future Workforce
That process of maintaining contact and continuing a conversation with prospective customers is what we call “nurturing.” It reflects the care shown and the nature of the process. This can and should be easily adapted for your home care agency’s hiring process. By using this process, you and your agency might become a figure that your applicant needs. Someone who, through kind words and encouragement, can be trusted. And when a potential caregiver feels that you have a stake in their future, they may be more willing to push forward into new territory with confidence.
For more strategies on how to deal with the crisis of high caregiver turnover, be sure to check out our webinar with Leading Home Care CEO and industry expert Stephen Tweed.

I really enjoyed playing this game. It has great graphics, great music, it's easy to play and it's all about nature. This is one of the best games here on Newgrounds. And sure, at first it may look like another Tower Defense game but everything looks unique and the level design too. Keep up the good work.
pretty good game, liked it how you could grow your tree, and you have a good variety of trees to defend the mother tree, great game mate
Very fun,addicting not too hard. 5 stars.
Very fun and addicting! The cheerful music, the bright colors, and the cute cartoon faces seamlessly combine into n a very original and well polished game! There was just the right amount of balance between difficulty and entertainment. The routes, differing waves and available trees contain enough diversity to keep the game from feeling grindy and repetitive, a fact many other TD games fail to accomplish. Overall, the game felt really smooth and responsive, the upgrade system was simple, and the spells were a surprisingly large part of the gameplay, adding to player interactivity during the waves themselves, instead of the fire-and-forget style of other games in this genre.
One other thing, for whatever reason, the NG medal for the beating the first boss never poped for me, even though I have the in-game achievement and the second & third boss medals work just fine. Note that this isn't your fault, maybe just a connection problem on the website, so no points are deducted for this insignificant little mishap.
Great game, keep up the good work!

American Sublime: The Genealogy of a Poetic Genre
University of Wisconsin Press, 1991 - 337 Seiten
Tracing ideas of the sublime in American literature from Puritan writings to the postmodern epoch, Rob Wilson demonstrates that the North American landscape has been the ground for political as well as aesthetic transport. He takes a distinctly historical approach and explores the ways in which experiences of the American landscape instill desire for other kinds of vastness: self-expansion, national expansion, and American political power. As Wallace Stevens put it, the American will takes "dominion everywhere."
