Kent State Students To Launch Data-Driven Website That Features Goings-On In Kent
Students launched a website that features a recent feed of what's happening in Kent.
Students from Kent State's schools of Journalism and Mass Communication and Digital Sciences have created a data-driven website, www.opencampuskent.com that features a recent feed of what's happening in the Kent area including Kent State campus buildings.
When the OpenCampus Kent website launches April 26, users will be able to get the latest crime updates, news, deals, events and restaurant reviews, all on one site. They can also check out the latest Kent photos and videos uploaded to Flickr and YouTube.
"This resource will have a community-building effect, helping students and locals look more at what they have in common, be more knowledgeable about what's going on around them, and make better decisions about what to do with their time," says School of Journalism and Mass Communication Assistant Professor Jacqueline Marino.
OpenCampus Kent is a product of the course Web Programming for Multimedia Journalism, which is co-taught by the schools of Journalism and Mass Communication and Digital Sciences. Last fall, the project was awarded one of 10 Bridge Grants funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation through the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC).
Bridge Grant recipients were tasked with developing new academic applications of projects already funded by the Knight News Challenge. According to AEJMC, "The goal is to implement these projects in ways that enhance the education of future journalists for the new media landscape."
OpenCampus Kent uses the open-source software OpenBlock, which was developed through funding by the Knight Foundation. OpenBlock utilizes Django, Python, PostGIS and OpenLayers, all open-source technologies. Kent State students are among the first to apply OpenBlock to a college campus and its surrounding city. Customizations of OpenCampus Kent include the following:
With OpenBlock, users can search events, news and other information by neighborhood, zip code or street. In OpenCampus Kent, the campus is also searchable by building.
OpenBlock Kent will be taken over by Kent State student media. Once the class ends, student media will continue to improve the site.
OpenCampus Kent integrates video. Users can check out Kent-area videos uploaded to YouTube.
The students who participated in the creation of the course, as well as their primary areas of contribution, are as follows:Kevin Donovan, programming; George Fronimopoulos, design; Matt Gates, Web development and programming; Rachel Kilroy, reporting; Freddie Smith, social media; Derek Thiry, programming; Amy Beitzel, social media; Joseph Bell, design;Rebecca Reis, reporting; Justin Rice, social media; Julie Sickel, reporting; Brad Tansey, reporting; Raytevia Evans, reporting; Josh Talbott, programming. Computer science senior Adam Davis instructed and helped manage the programmers.
The course was co-taught by Liz Yokum, an instructor in the School of Digital Sciences; and Sue Zake, a School of Journalism and Mass Communication professor and adviser to KentWired.com, a collaboration of independent student media at Kent State University.
"I really think it's great to collaborate with programmers and designers," says Brad Tansey, graduating news journalism major. "In the real world, it'll help us all improve and get jobs."
The course also appealed to students who are not studying journalism, but are interested in developing digital start-ups.
Matt Gates, junior computer information systems major, says the course was "a stupendous site experience if I've ever had one. I love this stuff."

Akram Amir El Ali Simplified Chemistry اضف تعليق 226 زيارة
A material capable of fastening two other materials together by means of surface attachment. The terms glue, mucilage, mastic, and cement are synonymous with adhesive. In a generic sense, the word adhesive implies any material capable of fastening by surface attachment, and thus will include inorganic materials such as
portland cement and solders. In a practical sense, however, adhesive implies the broad set of materials composed of organic compounds, mainly polymeric, which can be used to fasten two materials together. The materials being fastened together by the adhesive are the adherends, and an adhesive joint or adhesive bond is the resulting assembly. Adhesion is the physical attraction of the surface of one material for the surface of another.
The phenomenon of adhesion has been described by many theories. The most widely accepted and investigated is the wettability-adsorption theory. This theory states that for maximum adhesion the adhesive must come into intimate contact with the surface of the adherend. That is, the adhesive must completely wet the adherend. This wetting is considered to be maximized when the intermolecular forces are the same forces as are normally considered in intermolecular interactions such as the van der Waals, dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole, and electrostatic interactions. Of these, the van der Waals force is considered the most important. The formation of chemical bonds at the interface is not considered to be of primary importance for achieving maximum wetting, but in many cases it is considered important in achieving durable adhesive bonds.
The greatest growth in the development and use of organic compound-based adhesives came with the application of synthetically derived organic polymers. Broadly, these materials can be divided into two types: thermoplastics and thermosets. Thermoplastic adhesives become soft or liquid upon heating and are also soluble. Thermoset adhesives cure upon heating and then become solid and insoluble. Those adhesives which cure under ambient conditions by appropriate choice of chemistry are also considered thermosets.
Pressure-sensitive adhesives are mostly thermoplastic in nature and exhibit an important property known as tack. That is, pressure-sensitive adhesives exhibit a measurable adhesive strength with only a mild applied pressure. Pressure-sensitive adhesives are derived from elastomeric materials, such as polybutadiene or polyisoprene.
Structural adhesives are, in general, thermosets and have the property of fastening adherends that are structural materials (such as metals and wood) for long periods of time even when the adhesive joint is under load. Phenolic-based structural adhesives were among the first structural adhesives to be developed and used. The most widely used structural adhesives are based upon epoxy resins. An important property for a structural adhesive is resistance to fracture (toughness). Thermoplastics, because they are not cured, can deform under load and exhibit resistance to fracture. As a class, thermosets are quite brittle, and thermoset adhesives are modified by elastomers to increase their resistance to fracture.
Hot-melt adhesives are used for the manufacture of corrugated paper, in packaging, in bookbinding, and in shoe manufacture. Pressure-sensitive adhesives are most widely used in the form of coatings on tapes, such as electrical tape and surgical tape. Structural adhesives are applied in the form of liquids, pastes, or 100% adhesive films. Epoxy liquids and pastes are very widely used adhesive materials, having application in many assembly operations ranging from general industrial to automotive to aerospace vehicle construction. Solid-film structural adhesives are used widely in aircraft construction. Acrylic adhesives are used in thread-locking operations and in small-assembly operations such as electronics manufacture which require rapid cure times. The largest-volume use of adhesives is in plywood and other timber products manufacture. Adhesives for wood bonding range from the natural products (such as blood or casein) to the very durable phenolic-based adhesives.

I went to Nagoya Castle with Lin-San. I wanted to show him my zazen skills!
This is the oven I used to make pizza and bread in with the Nepali.
Other than that, I've been doing morning meditation (maybe I missed a couple because I slept through my alarm…. Ops), I made American style pancakes (yum!), I made pizza, I've explored more of Nagoya, and I've been hiking around a nearby mountain (small mountain with lots of bamboo and plum trees). Lin-San has been very kind to me. He has been my sensei and tour guide of Nagoya. Yesterday, I played tennis with him and some friends and a couple days ago he showed me around the city. He made a joke that he is not a gentlemen, but a "Gentlemonk." I laughed very hard after that one. I've also learned a lot about the monk lifestyle. I'll write about that later.
But honestly, he's a cool guy. We went on a nice hike two days ago and we cook meals everyday. I enjoy singing and spending time with him. Thanks Yamasaki-San!
These are my friends here at Tokurin-Ji. Me, Lin-San, Jun-San, Nepali, and Yamasaki-San. We eat dinner at this table every night. I also chat with the boys here as well.
This is the bread I baked in the oven with the Nepali.
This last week, I have learned a lot about patience. I have met someone who has very opposing views from me. Some examples are about gay adoption and he has strong opinions on Muslim and Jewish people. At first, I was very good and listened and shared my opinion on the matter; all was well. I respect others opinions, even if I disagree completely. But he said something that was the last straw and I for the first time in a long while lost my temper. Whew Nelly, did I let him know what I thought. I know I can be stubborn and I learned that night how ugly and stubborn I can be. I spent that evening with a heavy heart full of pride, it felt awful. The next morning, I analyzed my actions and contemplated my feelings. In the end, I wrote him a long letter. I apologized and told him why I got mad. I also explained how important cooperation is for world peace, so even though we disagree, we can still understand one another and cooperate. We agreed to disagree, and since then we've actually become good friends. It's kinda weird how that happens. Even though I showed my ugly side, I learned a lot about problem resolution and overcoming my pride. I still need a lot more time before I can call myself a humble person, but I think I'm on the the right track.
Jun-San and I talk almost every night and we always end up saying, "we must be more humble!" two nights ago June-San and I talked about how we can help make the world a better place one action at a time. We made a list. This list only had four bullet points: gratitude, humbleness, love, and : ).
We determined if people can do all these things, the world can become a happy and safe place. If people can be more grateful, then there will be less envy. Instead of wanting more, people can appreciate what they already have. If people can be more humble, there will be less pride. People will give more and not expect anything in return. People will live simply, and understand that a smile can be worth more than any amount of money. Of course, love is very important. If people can love more, there will be less hate. There would be peace if we could all accept our differences and just hold hands. I like holdings hands, don't you? And of course, if there is more : ), then there is less sadness and less anger. If people can smile more, then the world will become a happier and more peaceful place to live in. Doesn't sound that hard, right?! Okay, maybe it'll take a while, but if we could all just try to change just a little, then it could make a big difference in your life, my life, or a strangers life.
As you can see, living with Buddhists has been really good for me. The Buddhist mentality is a very good one, at least in my opinion. The people who surround me are teaching me to be a better person and for that I am grateful. I dunno if I'll become a Buddhist, but I'll definitely keep what I have learned close to my heart.
Well, it's tea time. Gotta get my green tea fix. I hope you liked my rant!
Damien, Lin-San, and I sight seeing. What a pretty day!

Family violence in Winters turns into homicide, leaves one dead, according to police
Bill Hancock
Runnels County Register
RUNNELS COUNTY — A family violence situation turned deadly in Winters this week, resulting in the town's first homicide in over a decade, according to police.
The homicide happened sometime between Tuesday afternoon-Wednesday afternoon, March 11 and stemmed from a family violence situation between a man and his girlfriend, according to Paula Geyer, chief of Winters Police Department.
"I've been here 10 years and this is the first one that I can remember," said Paula Geyer, chief of Winters Police Department.

The man, whose name was not released, barricaded himself in a residence in the 500 block of East Broadway in Winters after killing his girlfriend, according to police. Officers arrived and a brief standoff occurred, but was ended quickly with help from family members.
Before entering the residence, the man police ingested antifreeze in apparent attempt to commit suicide, according to Geyer. Once in custody, the suspect was taken to the hospital for treatment.
The department did not immediately release the names of those involved.
The Texas Rangers and the Department of Public Safety are assisting the investigation.
Five days before the homicide, Ballinger, the county seat of Runnels County, had a case of a woman barricading herself in a home with a 3-year-old child.

I've made promises that I've broken. I don't break them intentionally, sometimes I just forget. After all, I'm only human. If you base your hope on my word, sooner or later, you'll be disappointed. I might get a flat tire on the way. I might get sick. Or die. Or get distracted. Even Sting can't guarantee what he'll do in the days still left.
or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it?
First of all, he's not a man. He's not human. He doesn't have a fallen nature. He's never sinned, never lied. He is the essence of righteousness and can't lie. He is the truth and only speaks the truth.
Unlike us, God never changes in his person or his purposes. We may change our minds as we age, or our situation changes or we get more information. But God doesn't decide to do something then a thousand years later realize it was a bad decision. Because of his infinite wisdom, when he makes a promise, it's the best possible promise he can make. He won't discover later he could have made a better promise. God never needs to make course corrections. He doesn't make it up as he goes along. He knows the end from the beginning.
Because of his infinite wisdom, when he makes a promise, it's the best possible promise he can make. He won't discover later he could have made a better promise. God never needs to make course corrections. He doesn't make it up as he goes along. He knows the end from the beginning.
If he has said it, he will do it. If he has spoken it, he will fulfill it. He's not messing around with your life.
He's going to do what he said. Sooner or later. Even if it hasn't happened yet. Even if you can't see how he could possibly fulfill it. Even if your eyes, ears, mind and feelings are screaming it can't happen.
I want to know all God's promised. I want to know what I can pray for. What I can count on. What to hang my hope on when everything around looks bleak.
If we drift from reading God's word, our faith will wane, our prayer life will wane, our joy will wane and our hope will wane.
So let's read God's word, grab on to his promises, then say in the face of hopelessness, God is not a man. He won't lie or change his mind. He said it, so he'll do it. I believe it. Thank you, my unchanging Lord!

Home News Blatant pseudoscience relieves FDA headache for aspirin manufacturers
Blatant pseudoscience relieves FDA headache for aspirin manufacturers
Shoddy scientific methods plus hopeless mainstream media equals business as usual
Having been warned in May 2014 that the risk of taking low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attack and stroke outweighed any benefits, we're suddenly being told in a new publication that it can now prevent cancer. Truth, or the most blatant example of corporate science ever?
FDA changes its mind over aspirin
In May of this year, the US drug regulator, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), changed its official advice to consumers over the long-term use of low-dose aspirin. From recommending that all at-risk patients should take a daily aspirin to ward off heart attack and stroke, the FDA advice made a complete about-turn: "After carefully examining scientific data from major studies, FDA has concluded that the data do not support the use of aspirin as a preventive medication" in such subjects.
Just 3 months later, and the world's press were agog at the publication in the Annals of Oncology of a new paper by Cuzick et al on long-term, low-dose aspirin therapy. A representative New York Times blog piece entitled "Aspirin May Cut Cancer Risk" declared that "A large review of available data has confirmed what many experts have long suspected: Taking small amounts of aspirin over long periods of time reduces the risk of colon cancer and certain other cancers."
NHS not fooled
Well, not quite. As the UK NHS observes, "It is not clear whether this was a systematic review, where the evidence is rigorously appraised for its quality and risk of bias. The researchers did not carry out a meta-analysis of the results of studies included, but compiled their own estimates." Data were extracted from recent systematic reviews, unpublished at the time of a previous paper by the same authors, and some large, individual trials. This lack of rigour didn't prevent the authors from concluding that "a net benefit [exists] for a minimum 5 years of aspirin prophylaxis starting between ages 50 and 65, for both men and women, with larger benefits for 10 years of use".
It's well worth noting the conclusions of the NHS analysis of the paper's findings, especially since it was performed by Bazian, a company not noted for straying from the mainstream party line: "It included studies of varying design and quality, with much of the evidence coming from observational studies...It's not clear how the studies included in the review were chosen and whether others on the same topic were excluded." None of this inspires much confidence.
Journalism 101? Not in 2014!
But when we take the analysis a simple step further – going to a place few other mainstream media 'science journalists' thought to visit – everything begins to look much clearer. This mysterious place is the disclosure statement at the end of the paper. It reveals that the lead author is a member of a Bayer advisory board. Bayer makes aspirin. Another author is a Bayer consultant and receives research funding from...Bayer. He or she is also a stockholder and director of a medical devices company targeting aspirin sensitivity. Still other authors receive various fees from pharmaceutical companies touting aspirin and other antiplatelet agents.
Need we say more?
It's just not cricket – or science
Even by the standards of 21st century corporate science, this is pretty blatant. Avoiding a time-consuming methodology like meta-analysis or systematic review has allowed the Annals of Oncology paper to hit the news within a few months of the FDA's decision. Result: slavering headlines, no drop in the number of people taking a daily aspirin and no pressure on profits. There may even be scope to replace aspirin with more expensive options in the longer term. Job done!
Lamestream media
Although there are good reasons to believe that aspirin could play a role in cancer prevention, adopting an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle will have far more profound results, with none of the side effects. Just don't expect this to be mentioned in the mainstream media, which – until it can come to grips with the fact that medical science is essentially corrupt, learn to read disclosure statements and spot glaring flaws in methodology – cannot be trusted on any matters medical or health-related.
Thoma Turk
Aspirin inflames 8 specifc body parts. An inflamed part allows easy entry for the cancer nucleus and cancer complex, in the presence of nickel, radioactive particles and a few other 'players', to there start and fuel a malignancy. Clark H R, PhD ND, 2007, (Dr Clark carried out over 1/2 million bioresonance tests to precisely identify the causative pathogens, heavy metals, molds, dyes etc that cause all cancers and their pathways.

2018 Kia Forte5 SX might be the best car you've never heard of
Frank A. Aukofer Special to The Journal
The 2018 Kia Forte5 SX continues with enhancements that make it one of the best cars that few people have ever heard about.
It is part of a subset of compact sedans and hatchbacks from Kia, the full-line South Korean manufacturer. What makes it different from its Forte siblings is its 201-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 195 pound feet of torque.
Essentially unchanged since its introduction as a 2014 model, the 2018 version now comes with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with a manual shift mode. A six-speed manual gearbox is also available. As important, the SX is equipped with a full load of modern safety, convenience and comfort features that would do justice to a luxury car.
All of this arrives in a tidy package weighing 3,123 pounds and stretching bumper to bumper just three inches longer than 14 feet. It delivers city/highway/combined fuel consumption of 25/30/27 mpg.
The power, relatively light weight and snap-shifting dual-clutch automatic transmission combine to deliver sprightly acceleration. Zero to 60 miles an hour arrives in about six seconds. Top speed is 140 miles an hour.
But what is most endearing for buyers who are impressed by value and comfort as well as performance, the fully loaded test car came with a bottom-line sticker price of $28,295, about $6,000 less than the average price of a new car in these times.
The starting price was $24,695, which included full basic safety equipment, a rear-view camera, a sport-tuned suspension system, faster steering, bigger front brakes, 18-inch alloy wheels, push-button starting, SXM satellite radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, leather upholstery and heated front seats.
With all that, the surprise is that buyers are not stampeding to Kia stores to latch on to a Forte5. The model constitutes just 5 percent of all Forte sales, including sedans as well as hatchbacks. In 2016, that translated into 5,165 sales nationwide. Based on most of 2017, the annual number works out to about 6,100. That's a number that eventually could make this a collector car.
In a curious marketing ploy, the Forte5 SX with the dual-clutch automatic transmission has a starting price of $2,200 less than the model with the six-speed manual gearbox. However, the manual version comes with more standard equipment, though it doesn't include such things as blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert.
The automatic transmission tester made up for that and more with a $3,600 premium technology package that included dual-zone climate control, a navigation system, SXM satellite radio, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, sport leather seating with ventilated front seats, 10-way power driver's seat with memory settings, HID headlights, auto-dimming rear-view mirror and motorized sunroof — in short, many of the features one would expect in a near-luxury car.
From the outside, the Forte5 presents a handsome hatchback profile with sharp lines, a distinct front, rear bumpers with fog lights, alloy wheels, glossy black outside mirrors and dual chrome exhaust pipes. The styling is sportier than that of the boxy Kia Exclaim, which uses the same power train but does not offer a stick shift.
Aside from the leather seats with contrasting piping and the leather-covered steering wheel, the interior is mostly made up of manufactured materials. But the design is handsome and welcoming, with good fit and finish.
At the top of the center stack, the seven-inch touch screen that controls audio, navigation and other functions is a model of simplicity, intuitive and easy to use without extensive learning and frustration.
The front seats provide decent support and comfort, though the seatbacks could use more bolstering for spirited driving around curves. Outboard back seats provide plenty of head and knee room for average-sized adults, though the center-rear position — as is usual in most cars — is compromised by less room and an inferior cushion.
There's 23 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seatbacks, which is nearly double that of some compact sedans. Fold the seatbacks and the cargo area more than doubles, to 56 cubic feet. There's no spare wheel and tire under the cargo floor; the Forte5 uses a pump and repair kit, which may or may not work depending on the severity of the flat tire.
On the road, the Forte5 SX acquits itself well against even some purpose-built sports sedans and hatchbacks. Though sporty in its own right, with nicely weighted steering and a firm but supple ride, its orientation tilts more toward daily ease of driving and comfortable, quiet highway cruising.

Tom Leith was an American football and basketball coach.  He was the head football coach at Adrian College in Adrian, Michigan for two seasons, from 1911 to 1912, compiling a record of 12–4.  Leith was also the head basketball coach at Adrian from 1911 to 1913, tallying a mark of 4–9.

Athletics
Leith was a star athlete while at Michigan State Normal College, now known as Eastern Michigan University. It was reported that he never lost a track event he competed in and was player-coach for the football team. His athletic accomplishments earned him a scholarship to Syracuse University in 1909 where he was a member of the football, baseball, and track teams.

Leith returned to Michigan in 1911 and became the head coach for the football and basketball teams at Adrian College. His time as Adrian coach was marked with success but also mired in controversy. In 1911, the Adrian team was forced to forfeit its win over Hillsdale College due to ineligible players. Two of Adrian's star players were deemed academically ineligible by the Adrian faculty after it was determined they forged credits to gain admittance to the college. Within two minutes of the game's start, however, Leith ordered the two men in the game in order to stop Hillsdale from scoring. Leith only admitted to the ruse after severe cross-examination by the MIAA board. Adrian was expelled from the conference after the incident and was only invited back after Leith resigned in 1913. Leith organized and held the first invitational track and field competition at a Michigan private college while at Adrian.

Leith would go on to coach the track team at Detroit University where he would again become embroiled in an eligibility scandal. His team was denied entry to an invitational by the MIAA because one of his athletes was not eligible, but Leith contended that he would not have entered the athlete.

He also coached football for Brighton High School.

Politics
Leith was Mayor for the city of Brighton winning reelection in 1949. He then campaigned for the 1950 Republican nomination for Governor of Michigan, his stated goals were "take state government out of the red and take the Reds out of state government." Leith received 8,460 votes, just 1.52% of the total vote, losing to Harry Kelly.

Personal life
Leith married Ethel Duncan in 1909 while they were students at Michigan State Normal College. They secretly eloped and only told their families five months later.

Leith was involved in real estate in the Brighton area and opened the Michigan Military Academy in Island Park, MI.

Leith died in 1960 at age 71.

This is a true story, we tried to see Swervedriver at NXNE 2011. Even though we had tickets to the venue, we were actually turned away because by the time we showed up, the Great Hall in Toronto was already over capacity! ...
Oxford's Swervedriver recently played the Turf Club in St Paul last Thursday, March 12th.
We actually weren't meant to cover the show (I was over at Gang of Four at the Varsity Theater), but I felt Swervedriver's return to music (with a first full-length album I Wasn't Born to Lose You in 17 years) was important enough to at least mention, even if it's only briefly.
Gateway Drugs opened up the show. The band is on tour for their debut LP Magick Spells (Cobraside).
The Los Angeles band is described as if "Sonic Youth and The Birthday Party got together and had kids".
Like many of the 2,000+ bands out on tour now, the group is heading to SXSW 2015 in Austin, Texas.
Swervedriver is also heading down to SXSW, this year (they've already announced a free show). Expect to see the band continue their tour to the East Coast after SXSW.
As you can see from their autographed setlist, the band played almost all of their new album I Wasn't Born to Lose You, with the exception of "English Subtitles" and "Red Queen Arms Race". The other half of their set was older material, including the classic 1993 album Mezcal Head (the album with the bull on the cover), including these two songs that ended their set, "Girl On A Motorbike" and "Duel".
If you love the new album I Wasn't Born to Lose You, you definitely need to catch the band on this 2015 tour.

Overtime laws: Employees who are paid hourly (nonexempt employees) are entitled to be compensated for overtime hours worked. Overtime is usually defined as any hours worked beyond 8 hours in one workday or beyond 40 hours in one week. In addition, the sixth consecutive workday in one week is ordinarily considered overtime. Employees who work such hours are usually entitled to an overtime pay rate of 1.5x their hourly rate. There may be different rules for employees engaged in alternative work week schedules or part time schedules. Call Shannon Foley, a highly experienced lawyer in matters of Labor Law to discuss your rights.
Minimum wage laws: Effective January 1, 2008, minimum wage is set at $8.00 per hour. If you are not being paid full minimum wage for each hour you work, contact an experienced attorney to discuss a potential claim against your employer.
Meal and rest laws: Employees working more than 5 hours in one workday are entitled to one meal period of at least 30 minutes. Employees working more than 10 hours are entitled to two meal periods of at least 30 minutes. On duty meals (such as meetings during lunch periods) should not be deducted from the employee's pay. Employees are entitled to at least one 10 minute rest period for every 4 hours worked.
While individual occurrences of such violations may seem minimal, the wages you lost over time add up. When an employer makes a habit of such unlawful practices, the employer can face thousands of dollars in reimbursed lost wages, along with appropriate penalties. Our attorneys are also experienced in representing employees, particularly those with smaller claims, in class action litigation for violations of wage and labor laws which mandate minimum wage, overtime pay, and meal and rest breaks.

We specialize in autism analysis and behavior development.
Behavior Solutions
ABA, Behavioral Therapy involves anything that can be seen and heard. Therefore all behaviors have achievable and noticeable goals, which are measured and constantly re-measured throughout time to focus on our progress as well as whether the goals are being reached.
The great and unique thing about ABA therapy is that the plans are individualized to fit your child's needs. Since Autism is a spectrum, that means no two cases are exactly alike. Therefore the best treatment for autism would be customized to fit your child and your family's needs after an assessment is made.
Staff need to be competent by being trained by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst on behavior analytic procedures as well as intervention strategies. Courses are available on various topics and custom fit for your organization or situation for effective ABA autism therapy. Help your staff find out what is autism and how to best treat autism.

Justine Standaert of Justine Justine is a Oaxaca-based jewellery designer whose stunning work is deeply inspired by Mexico. Recently Justine developed a range of contemporary filagree wedding jewellery that I just adore. Below is a fascinating interview with Justine about her love of jewellery, why she just can't stop making it and what she loves about Mexico. In extra great news Justine has very kindly offered at 10% discount to Mexico Retold readers when you spend $50 USD or more on purchases from her website or her etsy shop. Just pop in the code VIVAMEXICO ENJOY!
I have been making jewellery for as long as I can remember. When I was 14 years old I had made so many necklaces that I didn't know what to do with them and that's when I decided to step into a store and ask them if they wanted to sell my handmade jewellery, to my big surprise they said yes! And the very next day my necklaces were in their window!
Did you have any formal training in jewellery design and creation? How did you come to realize your talent?
When I first started, at 14 years old, I hadn't had any training at all. At the age of 18 I visited Mexico for the first time and that's when I had my first 'real' jewellery class from an American girl that was selling her jewellery on the streets of San Cristobal de las Casas in Chiapas. That day I knew that jewellery was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.
You use a lot of Mexican materials (bottle tops, seeds etc.). How did you first see their potential for jewellery?
It all started when I was studying in Antwerp. The teachers insisted in expanding our horizons. We got to experiment with all kinds of uncommon materials for our collections. I quickly got into re-purposing and re-cycling. My final collections in my master-degree were 7 big necklaces in everyday materials like mirrors, nails, buttons, forks, etc.
Has living in Mexico inspired the jewellery that you make?
Absolutely! When I first started my Jewellery Design studies I had just arrived from a year of living in South Mexico, in a beautiful small town where I learned Spanish & made my own hammock. I had just travelled this amazing country and was in 'awe' of all the inspiring textiles, traditional jewellery and the intense colours! There was no way I could get all this beauty out of my head, my heart and my soul. Since the first time I came to Mexico it has become one of my major inspiration sources. I use materials, shapes and symbols that tell a Mexican story. Inspiring Mexican icons like Frida Kahlo are a huge inspiration too.
What do you love about making jewellery?
It is addictive. I can't stop. I tried once to stop making jewellery: my last year in Antwerp, there were only 6 of us graduating and we all felt pressured to make conceptual jewellery. Teachers often pushed us to make un-wearable jewellery because in their days that was their way of reacting against former jewellery styles. My generation was leaning towards jewellery that could be worn. Why call creations jewellery if it is too big/too sharp/too crazy to wear? I really struggled with those concepts and I graduated with a bad feeling. I decided that the jewellery-world was not for me and that I was not going to make jewellery anymore.
I really tried to quit haha, after 3 weeks I was making and selling jewellery again. It is part of me. The challenging part is all about finding a way to make it work. Intriguing jewellery has to fit a body, it has to look good and it has to tell a story. Once you figured it all out you can just let your hands lead you to do the making.
I see you have a new collection of filigree jewellery. How do you approach a new collection? From where do your ideas evolve?
Most people see it as a 'new collection' but for me it is going back to the beginning. It was time to pick up silver again and to use the old school techniques that I learned years ago, here in Oaxaca to make some contemporary pieces. I love the combination of old & new. You can see it often in Oaxacan fashion too. Designers like Silvia Suarez and Fabiola Calvo use the classic embroidery in their modern clothing. My contemporary filigree collection is similar. I love to do research on the classic Mexican jewels and start from there, evolve it into unique pieces of modern jewellery.
Which other jewellery makers do you admire?
You also make custom-designed jewellery. Do you have a special tale of a particular piece of work you loved or a piece you made for a special occasion?
I have my special 'lucky' ring that I designed and made myself when I was studying in Barcelona. I wear it on every special occasion or when I need an extra bit of good luck. It symbolizes my work as a jewellery designer and even though people have wanted to buy it from me, I will never ever sell it. It represents too much and you have no idea how much luck it gives me.
I adore making engagement or wedding rings, they are all special to me because the couples take me on an inspiring journey. It is incredible to design jewellery that reflects their love and their story and will become the most important piece of metal in their lives. There is nothing like it.
Every day is different here at 'the office'. My husband and I work together and we take on the biggest part of the work that has to be done. I do all the communication with my lovely customers myself because I think it is the structure of my business and it plays the most important role in the design process. Good communication is key! We divide all the tasks between us and if there is more work than hands we get help from 2 extremely talented co-workers.
Even though every day is different they all begin and end in the same way: Every morning I print the orders that came in overnight. Then we pack what is ready and we decide on a deadline for the pieces that are made to order. Every workday ends with a walk to the post office to ship the orders of that day.
After I put the kids to bed and the hubby is off to play with the band (lachinasonidera.com) I often edit pictures and upload the new items to my website and etsy-shop.
What is your career highlight thus far?
Plenty of amazing things have happened, but I think the real highlights for me are the days when magic happens. When the piece of jewellery, my customers, and me as a designer, connect in a special way. I always remember that one day I noticed that on 2 of the orders the last names and the addresses were the same but the first names were different. I thought: well, 2 sisters ordered separately without knowing, maybe I can ship the orders together. I wrote one of the 2 girls and the following happened: it turned out to be a mother and daughter that had bought gifts for each other in my shop without knowing!
Those kinds of stories just touch my heart. The same with designing engagement rings, or bridal jewellery. I get involved in the personal process of magical love of our customers that can't be compared to anything else. It is truly special.
What's your most popular-selling piece of jewellery?
That changes over the seasons but this necklace brought our business to the next level, it became really popular years ago and it was even featured on the famous blog Design*Sponge in an article about Frida Kahlo. Every season different colours become popular, we've had a 'lime green'period followed by a 'Yellow'period and so on….
Our contemporary filigree is pretty popular too, people contact me to have their custom-made engagement rings or wedding bands made and that is what I love the most!
What do you love most about living in Mexico?
Check out Justine's jewellery on her website and her etsy shop and don't forget the discount code VIVAMEXICO to get your 10% discount on orders of over $50 USD.
Love her story, love her jewelery!

The motive behind the death of Reuven Shmerling was not immediately known when his body was found in an Arab town. But the Shin Bet says Sunday it now believes the killing was politically motivated. It says the investigation is ongoing.
The identities of the Palestinians, who hail from the West Bank, as well as other details of the case are under a gag order.
The current round of Israeli-Palestinian violence broke out two years ago. The frequency and intensity of what were once daily attacks have lessened of late, but deadly violence still occurs occasionally.

Customer Insights | Advanced Media Technologies, Inc.
* Determine local post offices for each launched market. Contact & alert them to volume. DTA boxes are designed to fit into a standard postal box. If a few hundred are dropped off at the local post office one day by FedEx (the origination carrier for SmartPost), that puts a strain on them. Best to alert them.
* Ship up to 250 DTAs per day. Don't hold orders too long as customers may get antsy and start calling which you're trying to avoid, and don't release orders too big either as it taxes local postal carriers. A good benchmark is once a week, or when you hit 250 orders.
* Dedicated option for DTA troubleshooting in IVR. DTA packaging with instructions along with the simplicity of auto activation minimizes calls. Still, there likely will be some calls, so it's best to route these to a few trained support representatives.
* How will walk-in inventory be managed? No matter how valiant your effort to notify subscribers, many will not order until they lose signals, and then want immediate remedy which is only possible if you provide a local pick-up option, or (ugh) roll a truck. Some customers talk of charging for a visit to discourage a home visit.
* What # is the DAC looking for? Each DTA has 3 identifiers: Serial Number, MAC Address, and Unit Address. The complete set of product identifiers is sent electronically upon inventory consignment or fulfillment. Most billing systems and conditional access require both serial number and Unit Address.
* Need to track serial # for warranty work. Each DTA has 3 identifiers: Serial Number, MAC Address, and Unit Address. The serial number is used for warranty validation, so you'll want to store that in your inventory system. The complete set of product identifiers is sent electronically upon inventory consignment or fulfillment.
* Need to have web form lookup during our trailer POS weekends. This allows customers to enter their requested number of units which may be cross checked with walk-in locations and prevent duplication.
* Create an internal email alias for distribution of customer lists. Fulfillment options require exchange of customer order lists and order fulfillment with shipment tracking. Make sure you have operational processes for easy exchange.
Our customer uses the phrase "Phases of Darkness" for how they will "sunset" their analog channels. They plan to eliminate analog channels in groups, each of 3 groups about 7 days apart. Darkness descends in 3 phrases! Of course, the phases of darkness were preceded by mailers and robo calls to non-responders. As they eliminate a set of channels they will broadcast information to instruct how to obtain a DTA. Their plan is to have employees submit videos playacting programs to communicate the happening. Now that's creative! We'll look forward to posting updates on their results.


You are here: Home | Forum | Lightbulb help.
Im looking for advice on lightbulbs.
Lastnight the LED bulb in my bedroom decided to pack in, it was a 43watt bulb.
Today to replace it thinking the lampshade was max of 100watt where its 60watt i bought some halogen classic bulbs to replace it which are 100watt = 129watt.
Now i know the reason they put the max wattage on lampshades is because of heat, my question is will it be ok to put a new bulb with existing lampshade? The new bulbs dont give out nearly as much heat as the old bulbs this is where im confused and asking.
If the bulb wattage is too high the lampshade could melt if it's made from a plastic material, or potentially catch fire if made from material.
I would get a different lampshade.
I'd get replacement LED bulbs. Minimal heat, high lumens (brightness) less power consumption.
I agree, you can buy LED light bulbs up to 150 watt equivalent now with consumption of 10 Watt.
I would suspect that the 129W value is the light equivelent of a standard bulb compared to the halogen. The 100W will be the heat equivelent.
My 11 watt LED bulbs rated A+ are far, far brighter than old fashioned type 60 watts, but they are expensive. Let's hope they last as long as they claim.
The figure of merit for any lightbulb, irrespective of technology, is the Lumen. As a guide a standard 100W filament bulb emits about 1600 Lumens. This is the total light output of the bulb.
Scale as appropriate and select your LED bulb accordingly.
I've had some really good bulbs from Lidl under the Livarno Lux brand. The Narrow beam GU10 dimmable reflector ones are rated at 5W but are a perfect replacement in colour, brightness and beam for 50W halogens. These have 3 LEDs with colimating lenses in front.
Home Bargains have been selling GLS style LED lamps for a while now. I have all my chillie and strawberry seedlings under the 100w equiv ones, and the whole house is now bright and cheery.
They sell both bayonet and Edison screw versions.
I bought a 10watt = 60watt LED in Wilko, its not as bright as my old bulb which is gonna be a pain as i use my webcam to skype so im gonna have to use a lamp to.
I have noticed that the "warm white" lamps have a much lower lumens rating that the "daylight" ones. I wouldn't buy them anyway, who wants yellow light in their homes (apart for those that yearn back to gas lighting?).
Whilst we are on the topic of bulbs and there seems to be a few knowledgeable people here.....I have one of these which uses a 300W dim-able, giant edison screw, incandescent bulb.
Due to the EU rules, I'm having a hard time sourcing a replacement 300W dim-able incandescent and the LEDs that I've found aren't dim-able or 300W.
Wilko sell dimable LEDs not as high as that though.

So Schnell est une chorégraphie de danse contemporaine de Dominique Bagouet créée en 1990 pour la première version et en 1992 pour la deuxième version qui s'inscrit dans les cadres de la reprise par l'association des Carnets Bagouet. Dominique Bagouet a créé cette pièce dansée afin d'inaugurer le plateau du nouvel Opéra Berlioz du Corum à Montpellier. So Schnell constitue sa dernière chorégraphie. Le titre en allemand signifie « si vite » et l'œuvre explore la vie de Dominique Bagouet, en particulier son enfance. Cette chorégraphie est considérée comme une œuvre majeure de la danse contemporaine.

Historique

La première version
La partition musicale est constituée de la cantate BWV26 de Jean-Sébastien Bach mêlée à des jeux sonores constitués d'enregistrements de machines industrielles de bonneterie. Laurent Gachet a capté, mixé et arrangé ces rythmes et ces sons directement liés à l'enfance du chorégraphe puisqu'il a grandi au sein d'une petite entreprise textile dirigée par sa famille. Le chorégraphe a longtemps porté des pulls de l'entreprise Bagouet.

La scénographie et les costumes sont inspirés du mouvement pop art avec l'utilisation de couleurs vives telles que le jaune, le rouge, le vert. Bagouet a demandé à Christine Le Moigne pour le décor et à Dominique Fabrègue pour les costumes de travailler à partir des recherches de Roy Lichtenstein, en insistant sur les idées de trames, de couleurs radicales et d'un certain humour. Le décor quant à lui est constitué de plusieurs nuages suspendus en haut, au devant de la scène.

La seconde version
L'œuvre a été revisitée en 1992, ce qui donna lieu à une seconde version plus aboutie que la première. La construction générale de la pièce n'a été que très peu modifiée : un prologue a été ajouté constitué d'un duo de deux femmes, toutes deux vêtues de noir.

Les Carnets Bagouet
L'association des carnets Bagouet est dépositaire de l'ensemble des pièces du chorégraphe et So Schnell a été récemment repris par les Ballets de Genève.

Erica Smith: Student Experiences of Berlin's Housing Crisis
BerlinFeaturesGermany
By Erica Smith On May 15, 2022

You would think that being accepted at one of Berlin's world-renowned universities would be cause for celebration – and often it is, until it becomes apparent that it's time to sort out finding a place to live. Usually, looking for accommodation, whether it be a Wohngemeinschaft (WG) or a studio apartment, is an exciting undertaking, with all sorts of possibilities of a new lifestyle and new connections looming on the horizon. However, this generally isn't the case in Berlin.
Berlin, May 15th, 2022 (The Berlin Spectator) – Berlin's housing situation has become a crisis in the last decade or so, largely thanks to an expanding population. A growing metropolis that was once renowned for its affordable living has now seen a huge surge in popularity, and housing demand is rapidly exceeding supply, pushing prices out of control. As ever, social groups with low income are the most significantly affected by this critical state of affairs, with a considerable chunk of them being the students at Berlin's 30+ universities and higher education institutions. We reach out to some of Berlin's current undergraduates to find out about the range of experiences of finding accommodation in the city.
Apartment Adversity
Most students' first impression of the Berlin housing market is through WG-Gesucht, where many young people look to club together and rent flats as a group to reduce rent. Whilst this sounds relatively resourceful and well-organised, a friend of mine described the situation to be pretty hopeless: "Zimmer ist jetzt besetzt. Viel Erfolg." ("Room is occupied now. I wish you success.") – my most received message. My experience of flat hunting in Berlin has been hours and hours of mindlessly scrolling through apps such as this and applying to everything with a roof and door to only receive no answer. Ghosting in Berlin isn't only experienced through dating apps, but in flat hunting too. It's fair to say this the experience most people I know of have had with WG-Gesucht.
Finding accommodations is a challenge students who come to Berlin are confronted with. Photo: Erica Smith
Sometimes, it's worse than just no responses or not being selected. Desperation seems to be leading people to scams in the hunt for a place to live in Berlin. Because people know they have to sort somewhere to live fairly rapidly, they fall for quick fixes and low, low prices that just aren't seen here. Furthermore, scammers know they can prey upon these vulnerable renters who are entering the market for the first time. A student I spoke to opened up about a scam she and her roommates encountered in their search. Her experience was that the scammers didn't really ask for proper documentation, just passports, and placed a bizarre emphasis on trust and favours. Luckily, she realised what was going on before it was too late, but unfortunately, stories like this are all too common. As well as the scamming problem, someone even spoke to me about racism in the selection process. This student suspected her Persian surname played a role in the fact she got rejected without reason from many apartments, despite the fact she grew up in Germany.
Strokes of Luck
Due to difficulties such as these, students end up being pushed into overpriced, corporation-owned housing in the centre of the city. Many of these such rooms are marketed specifically at students, advertising luxuries such as en-suite bathrooms and on-site gyms. Most people I spoke to, though, don't want to live like this as a student – sometimes they've just had to resort to it as it's the only place left to go. Another common workaround I've seen is to sublet. Whilst this works for a few months, it still means that people have to return to the drawing board a few months down the line. Most people I know who have done this have had to move at least twice in the past eight months.
It's not necessarily all bad, though. Among the negative experiences, some more reassuring stories do arise. Happily, I can report that I'm one of the lucky few who had a relatively easy time finding long-term accommodation here. My search began on Facebook, where I stumbled across an equally confused international student putting a general request out for advice and offers. In the comment section, my housing agency had replied saying they could provide exactly the facilities he was looking for, complete with Anmeldung (registration) appointment booking, English-speaking employees, well-located properties and most importantly, non-extortionate rent prices. According to their website, the effect of the housing crisis on foreign students is the reason they started their business in the first place. All in all, it's been relatively ideal, even if having to be very scam-wary made it seem too good to be true at first!
Overall Observations
Amongst some of the other people I interviewed, one spoke particularly highly of her landlord: "We know we can depend on him, and he's been very generous. Helping out fixing stuff, bringing our post to our door, anything we ask." She knows him through her beautician's brother in Poland, and attributes her luck with this property (after numerous fruitless searches) to "initial trust based on our common nationality". Another friend recognises that finding a flat that was 'love at first sight' for a reasonable price was a lucky break, and like me, worried that it was a scam at first. He's even managed to extend his contract, and finds the flat's proximity to the U-Bahn (underground) to be a great perk. He had no issues with using 'HousingAnywhere', but is aware that it's not an entirely foolproof tool.
At the end of the day, it's obvious that experiences of finding student housing in Berlin are mixed, and it would be unfair to characterise them all as overwhelmingly troublesome. However, it's worth noting that many of the positive experiences are, as shown, either matters of complete good fortune or having an extensive personal or cultural network. And that's without considering the fact that many of the people who have finally found something that fits their requirements have already trudged through numerous ordeals, such as scams, overinflated rent prices, and unreasonable landlords.
Regrettable Situation
It's regrettable that students are having to experience this inaccessibility given their position as bringers of income, youth, and expertise to Berlin. Luckily, though, most students who do opt to move here know what they're getting themselves into, and for the most part are at least partially supported by affluent parents or relatives. For some people, however, this financial stability simply doesn't exist. The student housing crisis in the city is indicative of a wider social and economic problem affecting longstanding Berlin locals, workers, and immigrants alike, and it's important that this issue continues to garner the attention it deserves.

Chasin' Dem Blues!
Posted: Jan 23, 2020 Latest Blues News
(MILWAUKEE, WI) – The Milwaukee Repertory Theater presents a celebration of the blues with Chasin' Dem Blues: Untold Story of Paramount Records by Kevin Ramsey in the Stackner Cabaret from Jan 17-March 22, 2020. The cast is Maiesha McQueen, Brandin Jay, Eric Noden and James Scheider.
Chasin' Dem' Blues is a revival of a Rep premiere (previously titled Grafton City Blues) that explores the inspiring story of Grafton, Wisconsin's Paramount Records.
For a few brief, bright years at the height of the jazz and blues age, Paramount Records was the leading label for recording artists of color in the Midwest – and broke down small-town racial barriers along the way. Artists such as Louis Armstrong, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Alberta Hunter and Ma Rainey all recorded there. This exuberant musical celebration of some of the greatest jazz and blues music features four sensational quadruple threat performers guiding the journey through story and song.
"Vibrant…the true story of a once-forgotten blues record label." — Shepherd Express

You broke down and finally got someone to build a website. Your nephew Parker said he could do it for you free! Awesome. And now if you look up your actual domain name, your website is THERE! If you look up your company name, there's your website! Awesome, huh?
Search Engine results you need!
Let's face it, if people know you, your company name, or your website URL, they will be able to find you online. Unless you've got one heck of a circle of friends, all those friends are probably NOT going to give you all the business you need to keep your business going the way you want. What YOU need is to be found by those people looking for your service or product that DON'T know you. That's where SEO comes in.
At least GOOD search engine optimization does. There are a lot of companies that really don't know much about search engine optimization that will promise you the world and after 6 months you're still not coming up for anything. You are coming up due on another monthly payment though. You're not even MOVING in the search results pages. And then you go on to the next company.
How do WE do Search Engines?
Onsite SEO – we approach your website optimization first with strong on-page optimization. We work with your page content, your meta tags, and all the other items that are directly controlled on YOUR site. We make sure that we have your company microformat in place to let Google and the other search engines like Bing, Ask, and Yahoo know where and who you are.
Offsite SEO – The next step is to find you good solid backlinks to your site. Passing links back and forth with your other buddies is NOT the way to get good rankings on any of the SERPs pages. What you need are high quality contextual links in page content, not be one of 50 links on someone's "My Buddies" page. Not on a sidebar list of 10-15 websites. Good solid articles from strong PR websites is where it's at. Web 2.0 links coming in from pages that have complementary content to YOUR website. That's what it takes to get your site some benefit from off-site SEO work.
Proper Social Signals – making sure that the search engines know that you ARE a real company. We make sure your company has proper listings to say YES, this is a real company with a real product or service. Google+, Facebook, Twitter and more are all great places to make sure YOUR site is getting the attention it needs.
Can we help everybody? Probably, but there are certain things that have to be in place. A strong website with a good structure is important. If you're unwilling to let us work with your structure and page content – we will NOT help you. It's a recipe for failure.
What IS your budget? The services that we provide are comprehensive and require a lot of ongoing attention. If you're looking for the "deal of the day" SEO, there are a lot of companies that would love to take your money. We know what we are doing and we provide each customer with ALL that knowledge. How much of that knowledge we can actually put in play on your behalf DOES hinge on how much you can spend. The more competitive the market, the higher the cost. If you want to compete against companies that are spending $500-$5000/month on their SEO campaigns, you need to be realistic. "Deal of the Day" SEO is NOT going to get you there.
Get YOUR Search Engine Optimization Campaign going NOW!
SEO is NOT a dash – it's an ongoing process where target keywords are set, progress is measured in monthly reports and goals are met – and then move on. Month by month, you should see progress on your targeted keywords. But it all starts with an initial consultation to identify what your goals are, what your budget is, and where your website is at right now as far as search engine rankings.
Contact us now for your free website SEO report. We will provide you with a quick on-site optimization report that is free to keep and put to use in any way you see fit. Or even have us start immediately working on those items and get you moving!


I'm looking for somebody that I can just be myself with somebody that likes long walks long talks and just a great person.
Hi, trying something different. Stepping out my comfort zone to meet new people.
A mother of 2 and living my best life.


Unfortunately can not be trusted around the world and we have to be aware that we must be careful as to know who surrounds us, who works for us and as it does, who surround our children with whom we are going to marry etc.. Tumblr spoke with conviction. It is precisely in this context that the software to spy on cell phones have become the new detectives or investigators, gone are the times in which you had to hire a researcher for hundreds of dollars time and expect the same to receive the results, new technologies constitute a new procedural tool of extraordinary usefulness for businesses, for familiesto responsible human resources or security and for lawyers. and we now have an important tool to detect those people that do not come with ethics and which therefore could end up hurt emotionally. With the development and commercial distribution of mobile spy software, many people wonder why someone would want to spy on a mobile phone. David Karp has compatible beliefs. Some people think that people who spies on a phone Mobile it is unethical and who might have bad intentions. This may sound reasonable at first, but when you get to know the facts of software mobile spy, you will be able to note that there's nothing wrong or is a lack of ethics in wanting to know with whom your children come together and where they are, if they have any doubt that something bad is happening this is a good way to find out and even be able to help. This software allows you to find his son in a local map at any given time, which is very convenient. Is how much it worth find your child immediately, especially in the case of an emergency? To most parents, and in particular those who have lost their children at some point, the price of the software spyware mobile is cheap considering the tranquility they receive in return.
For example, another group that uses the software mobile spy are people who are married or who want to marry and suspect that your partner is having an affair and wants to be sure step to take. Payment of a detective or investigator would cost them at least several hundred dollars. And yet, these researchers are subject to faults that a software program will not have, including the time factor is important with software obtains immediate follow-up. It is possible to be bribed, or simply do nothing and they charge their fees. In comparison with this option, the price of the software mobile spy becomes extremely cheap.
Finally, another group that would need to use the software to spy on a mobile phone are the owners of company and business. The software is ideal for the capture of those employees who are filtering information to the competition or are stealing. If the information or the amount of money that is lost is worth more than the price of the software, the purchase is considered a good investment.


Anyways, we walk along the road and found this shrine call Sasuke Shrine.
It totally caught my attention when I saw the name of this shrine as it reminds me of Naturo anime.
The shrine was not as popular as others and there were lots of stairs to get up here!
And lots of Fox statues !!
In my mind I was screaming, Naruto !!!!!!
So I call it Ninja shrine~!
If you ever know the Naruto anime, it's all about Ninja, and the main character Naruto, when he gets angry, he turns into a super powerful fox.
I have no idea whatsoever history about ninja and foxes but all I know I like the Naruto anime.
Do comment and tell me what's with the mini fox statues and Naruto ~ !
And so, If ur in Japan, Kamakura, don't miss out this place !

Just got my everblinks in the mail today! My wedding prep is now complete!! Love love these lashes!
These lashes are stunning and give a real natural glamour look that is wearable for any occasion be it day or night. They are so lightweight and easy to apply too!
I love this style and shall be getting back stocks!

Yet, decorating by itself is not nearly as completely satisfying as having an organized home that is rich in beautiful detail. Decorating and organizing go hand-in-hand, like a one-two punch of home completion.
In an effort to motivate you to action, use these suggestions to help you on your way to an organized home this spring and summer.
1.If you're like my dear Mother and you still have newspapers from 1978 because you haven't read them all: Don't walk, RUN to the sanitation department and rent an industrial sized dumpster to leave in your driveway for a week.
2.I'm giving you permission to touch your incoming mail and papers more than once – only if the second "touching" is on the way to the dumpster.
Twice a year, my mom would make me try on clothes for the upcoming season. She would invariably choose cold mornings to try on summer things and the hottest day on record to slip into woolens and flannels… (If your kids give you flack for trying on clothes in the comfort of air conditioning, you may use this as your own example.) If you haven't worn something in the time it took you to have your second child, it's probably not worth hanging on to (unless, of course, the dumpster is full).
Use a great tip I just discovered: Pick three nights a week to try on 5 items in your closet, then go to your dressers and do the same thing. At this rate, the average American woman should be able to go through all her clothes in about 3 years, 9 months and 14 days. No need to worry, it'll be a different season then!
1.You could try to "limit" the number of toys they play with each month and cycle them to and from the garage so your little ones get variety.
2.That takes too much effort. I just threatened my boys if they left toys out on their floor at bedtime, they would be in the dumpster the next day (the toys, silly!). Do this twice, and you'll have this hot spot under control.
I hope these points have given you some new ways to look at the problem of clutter and refreshing methods to deal with them. Given the fun you'll have with that dumpster, you might want to consider renting a second one for the hubby's stuff.
I'll tell you what. If you really do rent a dumpster (okay, it can be the smaller version) I'll have a reward for your diligence. Ladies – Email me that you filled your dumpster to the very tippy top and something funny that happened during the process. I'll send you a coupon for a discount on a Fragrance Lamp that will fill your home with lovely aromas. Gentlemen – Email me the same (that is, that you actually rented the thing and filled it, and an amusing related story) and I will send you a Gift Certificate for your wife. Such a deal!
