Personalizing Perfection
Bimmian Automotive Inc
Product Details
Active Autowerke Pulley Kit
Product Introduction
This performance product is designed to increase horsepower while retaining all the inherent qualities of your BMW without sacrificing reliability.
Features and Benefits Of This Product
Another key element in the development of the Signature Pulley Kit was to retain the "Factory Crank hex Drive Adapter", this was important to keep this factory feature for its inherent purpose. Coupled with a much ** beefier ** sidewall design, this reinforces the engine harmonics to be ultra smooth.
Another key element in the launching of this underdrive pulley system was the task of manufacturing a DPK, a double side belt for the air conditioner. Whenever you alter the crankshaft main pulley size, it will also influence the size of the A/C belt. As of late production 2007, BMW changed over the belt configuration to a double sided groove belt on the E9X M3. Active Auotwerke philosophy is always to try and maintain components like in a BMW fashion, as if BMW would have done. This would be a first in the BMW performance industry to have an aftermarket DPK belt produced.
To further enhance the system, Active Autowerke will provide an extra spare DPK belt with the kit. This would be for emergency circumstances if the need ever arises.
Tested and ran on the in-house Mustang dyno here at Active Autowerke quantifies a true measurable 12 + horsepower gain on a completely stock BMW.
A must for the true BMW M enthusiast.
Key Features:
HP gains: 10 RWHP 12+ HP
Complete Bolt on System and is easily reversible
Designed for use on DCT and Manual models
Reduces Rotational Mass
Does not cause overheating found in smaller pulley designs
Pair with AA Software for Additional Gains
Available for all production dates ( Single sided & DPK belts )
Available Options
For E90 / E92 M3: Please verify your E9x M3 on the A/C belt if single sided or double sided (DPK) when ordering.
How to tell if you have a DPK or SINGLE sided belt:
Take a look at the water pump belt, you will see that the belt is smooth on one side and has multiple grooves on the flip side. This is referred to as a SINGLE side belt.
Take a look at the A/C belt, if the belt looks, feels similar to that of the SINGLE sided belt that drives the water pump. We designate this as a 2007 ONLY model or models produced up 05/2008 which carries a single sided PK belt.
Take a look at the A/C belt, if the belt has multiple grooves on either side, then you have a DPK belt. Which is a belt with double PK grooves on both sides. Production model should fall from 6/2008 and up.
What Its Made From
This is a complete bolt on kit engineered using Aircraft Grade Billet 6061 Hard Coat Anodized Aluminum.
What's Inside The Box
Includes Replacement DRIVE and A/C Belts
EXTRA spare DPK belt provided where applicable

8rd, .45ACP, M1911 Mag, Black
The most powerful and reliable 8rd .45 cal 1911 mags, Power Mags are lean and sleek, yet they are extra-heavy-duty with increased reliability and service life. A unique all-steel follower design yields the lowest possible bearing surface for long-lasting function in dirty environments when ongoing cleaning and maintenance may not be possible. The unique follower design also functions as a spring, which allows the Rocket wire spring coils to be the largest (side to side, front to back, and top to bottom) of any extra capacity .45 cal 1911 mags.

WSN on the Strike
The Washington Square News highlighted GSOC in today's issue. There's an editorial reminding undergrads why they should support the strike (a point also reinforced by a new 'zine published by NYU Graduate/Undergraduate Solidarity). The WSN also ran coverage of the successful petition campaign and pointed out that NYU has given undergraduate free metrocards to help them get to classes which were moved off campus due to the strike.


text: Kieu Hoang™ Rose Wine 2016 From the Carneros Kieu Hoang vineyard comes a lively and refreshing Pinot Noir Rose. The cool climate of the Carneros allows the Pinot Noir to mature evenly, and the reward is aromas of cherry juice, citrus, guava accented by floral notes. The bright cherry flavors are refreshing. Even though the body is light, or we could call it elegant, it holds a firm richness across the pallet into a clean flavorful finish.

Are you needing encouragement in your life? Or just hope for the future? Have you ever had a dream that you wondered if it would ever come true? Today's guest is here to inspire you from his own life, not only with his gift of music, but also the story of God's faithfulness with how his gifts and dreams are now coming to be realized. Doug Brons, y'all. That is a name you are going to want to remember because you are going to be hearing it more. AND he is a guy you will want to know. Genuine and genuinely one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, Doug is releasing his new album "Soulscripted", where Amy Grant and other big names sing with Doug. Doug has an obvious gift but it took years for him to be able to use it to the degree that so many expected. His story and his new album is a testimony of God's faithfulness and will encourage you. This gifted singer/songwriter gives you a peek into the music production world, and shares some of the lessons he learned along the way, like "letting go" and walking in faith. I hope you get online and buy Doug's album, SoulScripted, so that you can be reminded of this message of hope and faithfulness! Buy the album at cdbaby.com, amazon.com, and iTunes. You can also follow him on Facebook at soul scripted or the doug brons fan page as well as his website douglasbrons.com or soulscripted.com If you are have enjoyed this podcast, please share it on social media, and leave a review and rating on iTunes. And remember to leave a review and rating for Doug, too! Until the next time, I hope you are discovering God in greater ways, and remember, God is worthy of your trust! For You, Cherie Read more »

Discussion in 'User Submitted News' started by War, Mar 31, 2009.
Taken directly from NeoGAF. This should have happened a long time ago... time to get a PS2!
Yes indeed! I really want to get rid of my old PS2, sometimes it fails to load games, even retail ones xD
TOTAL WASTE of time! ........people want PS3 or other NEXT GEN CONSOLES!
This will be no doubt to brush off all their PS2 stock they have sitting around in warehouses!
They should of slashed the price off PS3's ... if they want to sell them they have to compete with 360 and Wii example bring back the 20gb PS3 units (hd's are self upgradable at a later date anyhow and pretty cheaply) and push those out for around £200 ($285) and get them selling more!
Actually It was an April fools joke! The one who's going to get its prize cut is the PS3 to 299€ next April 23.
any news posted on 1/4 is doubtful but still if it is actually true than wonderful though i do have one and haven't finished ff12 (the best graphics and battle system... ofcourse not overall best as ff7 - the non-overrated game)

|LazyMap that always calls transform, good idea?
|Tue, 21 Apr 2009 08:51:07 GMT
I am using LazyMaps as a mechanism to get lookup functionality into JSTL/JSP pages and also inside servlet filters. For example, inside a servlet filter I have a HttpServletRequestWrapper implementation which includes a method: public Map getIsUserInRole() This means I can fool JSTL into doing a dynamic user lookup by using: ${pageContext.request.isUserInRole['admin']} I ran into an issue that my LazyMap was always caching the result (this is how it is supposed to work!) but sometimes the back end value changes. So I created a modified version of LazyMap, which I called ClearingLazyMap, that never stores any values into the map and always does a lookup (using transform). Therefore the modified "get" method now looks like: public Object get(Object key) { return factory.transform(key); } This seems to work well for me, is it a good idea or am I missing something?

Many of those whose lives were claimed by the Battle of the Gulf of St. Lawrence have no known grave. Their lives, and their sacrifices, are commemorated on Commonwealth War Graves Commission memorials on both sides of the Atlantic. This website gives account of these memorials and awards.
Veterans Affairs Canada
As World War II war drew to a close, members of all the armed forces of the Allies wanted nothing so much as to shed their uniforms, and fast. But there was not enough shipping available to bring Allied troops from all over the world as quickly as they wished.
Canadian War Museum
Japanese-Canadian names are added to a Second World War memorial, thus helping to lesson the painful memories of internment, relocation, and prejudice against this minority during the war.
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
In fighting along the Cote d'Azur at the end of WW2, the Canadian officer Ralph Wilson Becket won the American Silver Star, along with Sergeant Thomas Price, the most decorated Canadian aboriginal soldier.
National Defence
Unlike so many of the Tribals, she was spared from the scrapyard, thanks to the efforts of a private organization, HAIDA Inc. which bought her from the Navy for use as a museum ship.
Parks Canada
A second contingent of Canadian soldiers was offered to the British with better training and suitability for South African service. This contingent was composed of five field artillery batteries and two mounted infantry battalions. Canada's first overseas Victoria Crosses were won by members of this group.
Medal awards ceremony and requiem mass for fallen soldiers interrupts fighting in Italy during World War II for the Van Doos.
Many Canadians excelled as combat pilots throughout the war zones and later laid the ground-work for an independent Canadian Air Force.
Converted after the war to a destroyer-escort, (DDE) and bearing the new pennant number 215, HMCS Haida served two tours of duty in Korea.
This report deals with the organization and despatch of a Canadian
Expeditionary Force to Hong Kong in October 1941, and the Force's subsequent operations during the siege of that island by the Japanese.

Star Speedway in Epping, NH held its 52nd annual Star Classic this past weekend with drivers and fans flocking to the bullring. Among the weekend's big winners were Brad Babb, Dave Shullick, and Joe Squeglia.
Babb captured the win in the 350 Super Modifieds. Babb is the current point leader of the division at Star, and leads Matt Seavey by 40 points with Championship night looming next week.
In the ISMA Super Modifieds, Dave Shullick Jr. picked up his second Star Classic win. Shullick started tenth on the grid, and was to Second just past the halfway point of the 200-lap main. He then hounded Jon McKennedy until he was able to use a lapped car as a barrier to take the lead. McKennedy finished Second, and Timmy Jedrzejek rounded out the podium.
For the second year in a row the Star Classic for the Granite State Pro Stock Series belonged to Joe Squeglia. Derek Griffith assumed an early lead, but was followed closely by Squeglia. Squeglia took the lead from Griffith on lap 19 and didn't look back. John Peters took Second from Griffith, who finished Third.

Wedding season is here. Even in the height of summer, the weather is unpredictable so it is always savvy to have a wrap with you in case the church is freezing, it tips down from the heavens or you stay up partying all night and then need a layer of warmth.

SAN FRANCISCO – San Bernardino's city manager said Thursday the city is close to deciding if it will proceed directly to bankruptcy and skip California's Assembly Bill 506 mediation process with creditors.
Andrea Travis-Miller said in a statement that city staff are examining San Bernardino's status regarding the AB 506 process that directs municipalities to hold talks with stakeholders before they can declare bankruptcy.
Travis-Miller said city staff would present an opinion to the City Council on Monday, but noted that municipalities that declare a fiscal emergency are exempt from the state requirement to participate in mediation.
The city attorney may file for bankruptcy protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the next 30 days, according to the statement.
Miller and recently hired finance director Jason Simpson said in a report to the City Council that San Bernardino is facing insolvency because of accounting errors, deficit spending, lack of revenue growth and increases in pension and debt costs.
"It is important to note that in order to balance the City's budget, deep cuts will have to be made across the board," Travis-Miller said.
On Tuesday, the City Council gave the city attorney the authority to file for Chapter 9 protection because it said it would otherwise be unable to pay its workers.
San Bernardino, a city of more than 211,000 located 65 miles from Los Angeles, said it faces a $46 million deficit for fiscal 2013.
According to San Bernardino's 2010 audited financial report, its most recent, the city had $223 million of outstanding debt at the end of June 2010, of which $131 million were tax-allocation bonds.

One gratification that comes with completing a book is that I now get a chance to thank those who I relied on for advice, contacts, and support along the way. To be sure, there are many people to thank. So many, in fact, that mentioning all their names would greatly lengthen the size of this book. Still, there are some that deserve special mention because they were so giving of their time and in their counsel.
I must begin by breaking with some tradition. It is customary practice in these pages to reserve thanking your family until the end. However that order makes little sense to me in this case. My family deserves top billing here because I relied on their support the most these last two years. From day one I expropriated a room in our home and turned it into an impassable maze of documents, newspapers, and boxes. Indeed we can no longer recall the color of the carpet underneath. Moreover, during the last two years, when I was writing or traveling, the burden of overseeing family and household matters fell largely on my wife, Debbie. She was the one who got our three girls off to school every morning, prepared their lunches, helped with their homework, chauffeured them to play dates, met with teachers, accompanied them for doctor check-ups, got them ready for bed, paid the bills, and so much more. Without a doubt, this book would not have been possible without her support and love. Nor will I ever forget how my daughters, Ashley, Rachel, and Nicole, tried to help me in the first days by printing up "do not disturb" signs and then taping them outside my door. From beginning to end, my family provided the best home environment for me to carry out this project, and for that I will always be grateful.
I am also indebted to Carolina Buia (writer, television journalist) and Marc Lieberman (NYU economics professor). Both listened to my ideas, read the initial treatment of the book, and opened some very important doors to the publishing world. I also benefited greatly from the experience and wisdom of others, including Adam Cohen (New York Times), Jordan Goodman (personal finance author), Dan Kadlec (TIME), Jeffrey Liebenson (KMZ Rosenman), Larry Moran (Bureau of Economic Analysis, Commerce Department), Michael Panzner (HSBC Securities), David Skidmore (Federal Reserve Board), as well as Sue Hensley and Gary Steinberg (Department of Labor).
There are two people I'd like to name who were not involved in the preparation of this book, but were nevertheless enormously important to me because I learned so much from them about economic journalism. They are Bill Saporito, TIME's exceptionally gifted business editor, and the late George Church (TIME and the Wall Street Journal), who was a brilliant writer on all topics but none more so than on economics. I view both their works as the benchmark in excellent writing and editing.
Finally, one of the luckiest things to have happened to me was to work with Jim Boyd, my editor at Prentice Hall. Writing a book the first time can be a daunting experience but Jim made the process so much easier with his intelligent guidance and sense of humor. It was a real privilege working with him. I also want to thank Michael Thurston, project editor at Pearson Education, who supervised the production of this rather complicated book.
Let me make one last note. Though I made every effort to make sure this book is accurate, I alone am responsible for any follies that might have slipped through.

Re: "Whitman accused of stereotyping" (Jan. 25). I was disgusted by this obvious smear campaign against HRM Coun. Matt Whitman, published prominently on page 3.
I've had the pleasure of knowing Matt and working with him on community projects for many years. Matt is a man of unquestioned integrity and boundless energy. He is fully committed to serving his constituency.
Perhaps you should concentrate on recognizing Matt's enormous contributions to his community. Are we at the point in our society where we should ignore minorities rather than exchange pleasantries with them for fear of being taken out of context and being pilloried for our efforts? Selfless, dedicated, qualified politicians such as Matt are a rare commodity in this day and age and should be treated with the respect they deserve.

There are a number of ways this could play out for UMass. I think the Minutemen would like to stay in the MAC, at least to start our career in FBS. Jumping directly from an FCS program to a BCS league would be more risky.
It's possible the MAC could add a team to replace Temple. Several writers have mentioned Army, which is closer to UMass than Temple.
Another big impact would be on the A10, which would be losing it's premiere basketball program.
It would also be the death blow for Villanova's move to the Big East in football. The Wildcats would not be happy about sharing Philadelphia with another Big East basketball team. This could trigger moves in both A10 and Big East basketball.
The Times-Herald says Temple's move could harm Villanova.
Former UMass assistant coach Brian Butterworth is joining the staff at Campbell
Victor Cruz has reportedly signed a book deal. Eli Manning has no interest in a book right now.
Emil Igwenagu will be at the NFL Combine for the next couple days. The Combine's homepage is here.

By LARRY VAUGHT
He's never had a chance to play a lot of minutes consistently at Kentucky because of players like Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harris, Devin Booker, Tyler Ulis, Jamal Murray, De'Aaron Fox and Malik Monk.
But often when senior Dominique Hawkins has got a chance to play, he's delivered big plays. He did in the 2014 NCAA Tournament with his play against Michigan and Louisville. He did it last season with a big game in a win over Louisville.
He did it again Saturday with clutch second-half points in a win at Alabama. Tuesday night in a win over Tennessee, he had 10 points, four rebounds and two assist.
Kentucky coach John Calipari said Hawkins' play has been no surprise to him.
"I'll tell you why. Because he is a fierce competitor, he's tough as nails, he will come up with — any 50/50 ball, he's getting — and offensively he's gotten better each year. So, yes, he's like Old Reliable. You know you can go to him, he can play point guard, he can play off guard, if you want him to guard a big man he'll go rebound," Calipari said.
"I'm proud of Dom. Really, how about ball pressure? If we're not pressuring, you put him in. He's going to be energy. He's going to be on the ball."
Hawkins just laughed when he heard that Calipari had called him "Old Reliable" while praising him after the game.
"Definitely on the defensive end, my pressure on the ball and getting defensive rebounds and getting steals. And on the offensive end, driving, getting the other people involved, getting to my floater, hitting the open shot," Hawkins said about why he's reliable.
He says he waits his turn and family members often remind him to be patient.
"When you're a patient person, good things will come for you. And I know every time when I get in I'm going to play my hardest. So I want to stay out on the court," he said.
He played 24 minutes Tuesday. That was two more than Isaiah Briscoe played. Getting those type of minutes is what motivates Hawkins.
"Not being on the bench. I don't want to be on the bench at all. I never was used to it until I came to college, so I just don't want to be on the bench at all," he said.
He understood the competition he would face when he came to Kentucky. He knew going against the best players daily would make him better.
"I definitely want to play with the best players because that's the only way to make it to the national championship. If you have the best team, you're going to make it far into the NCAA Tournament. And that's what I want to do," he said.
Often he gets told that he would be playing more minutes at other schools. That doesn't bother him.
"Kentucky was always my go-to school and I'm so glad I came here. The four years I've been here have been a blessing for me. I wouldn't want to be at any other school other than here," he said. "Coach Cal knows what my role is and I know what my role is as well. Being able to play for Coach Cal is an honor. He's a Hall of Fame coach."

the current system maximizes the incentive to set a lame schedule, rewards teams that play in well-respected (even if bad) conferences, and insults the integrity of players and the notion of team. Football, by virtue of its violence, has less frequent and much more heavily scrutinized and intensely played games than other sports. Every down in a football game is a battle. A team is forged over a season - players emerge, strategies are refined, cohesion is hard-won. This suggests two often overlooked truths. 1) A loss can make a team better. 2) Apparently overmatched teams with lesser recruits can beat apparently superior teams through strategy, cohesion and sheer force of will. The present system rewards teams judged best in the preseason, necessarily on history and before any games are played. Those teams will remain on top if they don't lose and will receive substantial reconsideration even if they do lose. Opinions, often set in the preseason, are a horrible substitute for playing games. Despite myriad objections from athletic directors, college presidents and bowl game sponsors, a playoff system in college football is viable. A college football playoff might become the biggest sporting event in America. And it would restore to college football the immutable law of sports: Winning makes you the better team. People seem to have forgotten that.(image credit: Boise State celebrates, Jacobsohn/Getty, via nydailynews.com)

The Immutable Law of Sports
College football's champ is chosen tonight without any real idea of who was the best team in 2009. Boise State didn't play a great schedule in the WAC but they beat Oregon and TCU. TCU was undefeated in the regular season this year and beat Utah who of course beat Alabama (my pick tonight) in a bowl game last year. Of course, this is unfair. But it suggests the absurdity of the present system. I wrote about this a while back:

This article explains how to broadcast on Mixlr using DJ software - 'Traktor', an external MIDI controller - 'Traktor S2', and Mixlr AudioLink. You'll be using Traktor to mix tracks from your PC, the S2 to control your levels, crossfader, etc and Mixlr AudioLink to pass the audio between them.
As the S2 has no available inputs, you will need to set up an Aggregate Device and use Mixlr AudioLink to route the audio between the S2 and Mixlr. These instructions would apply to any MIDI controller with no inputs.
Go to 'Audio Midi Setup' on your Mac, which can be found here.
Create a new device by clicking the '+' icon in the bottom left-hand corner, and select Create Aggregate Device.
Select to use Traktor Kontrol S2 and Mixlr AudioLink for your new aggregate device.
You can now rename your new aggregate device to make it easier to work with later.
You will find the audio preferences in Traktor's settings:
Ensure the Audio Setup settings in Traktor are as follows:
Ensure the Output Routing settings are as follows:
Ensure the Mix Recorder settings are as follows:
The audio recorder in 'Traktor' needs to show signals coming through, as pictured below. You will not need to press the record button.
Select your aggregate device as your audio input, and ensure the VU meter is registering the sound:
(Tip - If you're having problems with the Mixlr app receiving audio signal, check that you have the latest Traktor drivers installed. You can download the latest drivers here.)

I have been looking at the performance of the Royal Holloway cluster during Hammercloud tests in which data was accessed directly from the DPM pool nodes using the RFIO protocol and comparing it to the recent UK-wide file-staging test (540).
For the RFIO approach two identical tests (537 and 538) were requested in order to ensure enough jobs arrived on site. The RFIO IOBUFSIZE was set to 4KB. Job CPU efficiencies and cluster throughput (the product of number of running jobs and average job efficiency) were extracted using Sam and Dug's script. The job throughput climbed steadily up to a peak at around 320 running jobs. At this point the throughput started to decline probably compounded by the fact that one of the disk servers lost a disk and became over-loaded.
The CPU efficiency declined relatively consistently as the number of running jobs increased:
Each job was reading data at about 1 MB/s so that at the peak the total bandwidth was around 350 MB/s - roughly 30 MB/s per disk server. The disk servers were working hard, however, the iostat %util values were around 100% with high cpu iowait values.
So how do these results compare to those obtained when staging files to the worker node prior to analysis? This graph shows the same RFIO throughput data together with results from the recently run file-staging test:
The throughput during file-staging leveled off earlier - at around 175 running jobs. Similarly the average job efficiency drops more steeply:
The job failure rate for the RFIO tests was 4% compared to 17% for the file-staging test.

A business locksmith represents considerable authority in managing the security needs of a business foundations and organizations. Discovering a business locksmith in Chelsea is a tiny bit harder than discovering a private locksmith yet their specialization makes them precious to organizations that need to guarantee that their offices are sufficiently secure for their necessities. They can introduce security cameras and in addition set up specific bolts that limit access and just permit those with the right freedom to pass however.
Another, ever rarer sort of locksmith is the vehicles locksmith. A car locksmith spends significant time in the opening of vehicles. If the proprietor of the auto has kept themselves out of the vehicle or has lost their keys, a car locksmith will have the capacity to bail them out without the need to depend on breaking the window or harming the auto in any capacity.
To evade the perplexity or the humiliation of ringing the wrong sort of locksmith for your needs, locksmith administration suppliers like ITCC Locksmiths may be a gift from heaven. They have with all of them distinctive sorts of locksmiths. So every one of the one need to do is ring them and they will send the right locksmith to their area.

404 Adwords Expert Not Found— June 14, 2012
So if you are like me and in love with search you probably look at dozens of SERPS daily. If you have an SEO or know one, ask them to name 5-10 of the companies currently on page #1 for "charlotte SEO" with your city name in there. If they can't they don't love what they do or are wannabes.
Don't take this wrong, this isn't to say being first for something like that matters much. I spent years not wanting to be seen on the scene since affiliate sales are best checks accepted quietly. But even if you have no aspirations of finding clients or bragging through search results like that you still watch them.
If you are dedicated to the craft of SEO like myself then you spend weekend looking at SERPS to learn, watch or spy on the competition or the trends.
So one of the terms I Google regularly is "Charlotte Adwords Expert".
My blog Sellaholics has been #1 or #2 for that since day one since it is a somewhat soft term.
When it isn't me ranking first it's David Kyle a local PPC expert who is rightfully #1 for this term.
I think he agrees he wants to be #1 since he apparently just changed the H1 tag on his website to say "adwords expert". His website has said "Local Internet Marketing and Online Advertising" ever since 2009.
This is fine, he is great at PPC and That's fine and well.
The next spot down that just makes my *SIGH* at all those experts at Google so pleased with every update.
Today after another Panda round I see I am 5th for this term and have been overtaken by this gem of "high quality engaging content" that Google tells us is what matters.
I may have to check my thesaurus but I don't think "404 page not found" is synonymous with Adwords Expert?
And the G Cache is empty too on this one. Empty cache in Google and no content on the page or references to the keyword being searched. The Irony is that the keyword is one of their own industry terms and this 404 page has shot to the top in the latest update.
Stay Classy big G.

Translocations between chromosomes 9 and 22 result in the generation of the novel BCR-ABL fusion protein that is a critical oncogene in both chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). The use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as imatinib that targets the BCR-ABL fusion protein, has proven to be extremely successful in patients with CML. In contrast, TKIs have not been very effective in treating patients with B-ALL, largely due to the acquisition of resistance mutations that render the inhibitors non-functional. Since the BCR-ABL fusion generates a foreign antigen that can be seen by the immune system, an alternative approach to treating BCR-ABL+ ALL involves immunotherapy. The potential efficacy of such an approach is suggested by a subset of BCR-ABL+ B-ALL patients with very low levels of minimal residual disease (MRD). Low MRD is associated with patients that have BCR-ABL-specific T cells that make interferon-gamma;loss of these T cells correlates with an increase in MRD and poor patient outcome. Likewise, in a mouse model of BCR-ABL+ B-ALL, I have observed that T cells exist that can mount robust immune responses to the BCR-ABL fusion peptide. A key question is why such T cells do not eliminate BCR-ABL+ leukemic cells. This has been a difficult question to answer because previous studies have not been able to examine the endogenous T cell response to the BCR-ABL peptide. To address this issue my project will track the CD4+ T cell response to BCR-ABL-induced B-ALL using MHC Class II:peptide tetramers that I will develop. These tetramers will be composed of a 13 amino acid peptide that spans the e1a2 BCR-ABL breakpoint bound to I-Ab (BAp:I-Ab), which is the MHCII molecule in C57BL/6 mice. This novel reagent will allow me to determine the number of BAp:I-Ab-specific T cells in a na?ve mouse and establish how well these cells expand following strong immunization with the BAp peptide or inoculation with BCR-ABL+ leukemia cells. This approach will allow me to determine whether the failure of BAp:I-Ab specific T cells to eliminate BCR-ABL+ cells is due to a defect in antigen presentation, induction of anergy, deletion of BAp:I-Ab-specific cells or immune deviation (i.e., differentiation into Treg, TFH or TH2 cell lineages). Based on these findings I will then pursue a variety of strategies to enhance BAp:I-Ab-specific immune responses. My hypothesis is that generating CD4+ T cells with cytolytic activity will be critical for inducing effective T cell immuity to BCR- ABL+ B-ALL. These studies will provide insights that should ultimately lead to improved immunotherapy for patients with BCR-ABL+ leukemia.
Patients with some forms of leukemia continue to have very poor outcomes. I will focus on one form of B cell leukemia involving a chromosomal translocation called BCR-ABL for which there is currently no effective treatment. In this grant application I will attempt to optimize immune responses to this leukemia in an effort develop new treatment options for these patients.

Review for: 374 Blue Lagoon (Christian Dior 374 Blue Lagoon) more...
This is anothe example of the lovely and stable powdered eye-shadow line from Dior. Dior is known for its pure, nuanced, and deeply colored, enhanced, powdered eye shadows. This is a lovely deep, dark, and easily applied and malleable blue. This color can be applied in a manner so that it gives the lightest hint of a darkish blue, or can be used instead of liquid eye-liner to form an inverted "V" beginning at the outer edge of the eye. This can either be left smudged, presenting a much closer approximation of liquid eye liner, or can be used with a brush or make-up sponge to smudge this gently into the inverted "V" area, producing a lovely smokey-eyed effect, without an obvious appearance of make-up being worn, yet still providing a beautiful effect.

Got this as a gift as I already had one almost hitting pan. Love most of Dior products and this is one of those. Easy to blend and long lasting. Pigmented and has a subtle shimmer with very little fall out when applying. Overall satisfied and although it's just a small 5-color palette, the looks you can create are endless From natural to smokey.
Review for: Other more...
I own color 876 Trafalgar and love the blood red color in the middle best (although the complimentary gold, brown, pink, and white tones are also fun). Blame iZombie for the red eyeshadow trend - personally I think it's super flattering. Long wearing with primer. Would recommend.
These are super affordable compared to the $100 pallets other companies sell. I would say for the price, this is a steal. I give this 3 stars because the pigment payoff is not the greatest. If you are shopping on a budget this is great, otherwise consider saving your money for something of a little more quality.
Review for: Color 5 Color Couture Colour Eyeshadow Palette more...
I absolutely love this product. The colors are incredibly pigmented and look great on all skin tones. This is definitely a pricey product, but I believe it is worth the value. The colors are long lasting and versatile, I would definitely repurchase.
Review for: 657 EXPOSE, 767 INFLAME, 647 UNDRESS, 757 DREAM, 777 EXALT more...
These are WATERCOLOR eyeshadows, meaning they are made to be a lighter wash of color but blend well, they are NOT meant to be those super pigmented eyeshadows that are trendy right now. These are perfect for a bridal look, or a time when you don't want to "overdo" your makeup.

Review for: 566 Versailles more...
This palette is my absolute favorite. I ended up using the lighter color at the bottom right corner before all of the others, but I still use the dark brown and occasionally the middle color depending on the vibe I'm going for, so it's a staple in my makeup bag. I've yet to find another eyeshadow that blends and covers as well as this one without easily smearing or wearing off throughout the day. I wish it didn't cost as much, because I'd own all of the palettes if I could!
Review for: 374 Blue Lagoon (Christian Dior 374 Blue Lagoon) more...
I love the Dior eye shadow palettes and I feel like I have to have every one of them. I have brown eyes and bought this one (shades of blue) thinking the blue will make my eyes pop and look more awake. Although the colors are beautiful I feel that the variety is limited, you cannot complete a full look with just this palette. They should have incorporated another neutral color to go with the blues such as some silver or black so you can blend out the colors. This is for people I guess who want to just have blue.
Where do you buy them
How smoothly does this apply?
How is the color pay off?
Is this eye shadow long lasting?
Are those all shimer?

WOW....I do believe that it's summertime already. I know the official first day of summer is not until June 21st but with our humidity.....well....it's here a tad bit sooner. Doesn't surprise me though really, seeing how poor Mother Nature has been so confuzzled as of late. ^_^
Now I bet you're wondering why I have Robert Parker's song Barefootin in my post for today. Ohhh, admit it....you know you were. The reason being is that I have been working on some designs for barefoot sandals. Since summer time is
Here's my first pair and (blushing) please forgive the bright white skin and freckled chubbie legs and feet. I made these using a natural polished brown hemp rope (so there will be no scratchiness) and doing my twisted square knot. The focal center point is the vintage glass white beads (look kinda like turtle eggs, eh?) and the turquoise stone turtle bead. I did the twisted square knot as the anklet part as well and it has the same square knot closure I use on my bracelets. That gives you a way to adjust the tension. Attached to the back ropes are more of the vintage glass beads. I have worn these around the house for the past couple of days and they are very comfortable. Great for those beach walks this summer!!!
I think all my other pairs will not have as long of a center so that it will fit several sizes of feet. (mine are a 7 1/2 to 8....just so you have an idea) I plan on making more and having them in my Etsy shop soon. ^_^
Until next time..........keep some sand (or green grass) between your toes and enjoy each day,

Since Gtech's retail clients, such as Argos, are generally selling rather than buying in December, founder Nick Grey likes to use the "deadest month" for the company's forward planning. Its 2011 plan was all but signed off before Christmas.
This year, it's all about increased quality and improved margins. As low-cost rivals flooded Gtech's market for cordless floor cleaners and then went out of business last year, Grey chose to discontinue its entry-level products and move upmarket focusing on quality rather than value. "Our competitors fell in with a retail and TV shopping influence which says, 'Don't worry about quality, let's just get it out'," he said.
"Now they're high and dry because they've been slaughtered on price by own brands. We've moved away from an area we can't compete on."
Grey started implementing the strategy at the end of 2009 and subsequently finished last year with lower than expected revenues of £6.5m, but still 30pc up in net profit. It hopes to make that an 80pc increase in 2011.
Not that the move is the soft option: "Moving upmarket is something you have to do with absolute commitment, you can't just say you're putting your prices up," he said.
Gtech is spending more on product development, marketing and staff to support the strategy.
Despite current wisdom, boosting exports is not high on the agenda because of rising production and shipping costs.

Late on Monday, it was reported that University of South Carolina Gamecocks football coach Steve Spurrier would be retiring immediately.
During the press conference Tuesday, the "head ball coach" left open the idea that he could still coach or work for a football team in some fashion, even saying he could coach high school football.
"First of all, I'm resigning and not retiring," Spurrier said Tuesday. "I doubt if I'll ever be a head coach again, maybe coaching a high school team or something but don't say I've retired completely. Who knows what will come in the future?"
The legendary coach ends his career with an 86-49 record at South Carolina and a 228-89-2 mark in 25 seasons as a head coach in the NCAA. He coached Florida, his alma mater, from 1990 to 2001 and led the Gators to the 1996 national championship and six SEC championships.

Previous chapters have discussed inflammatory myopathies that can occur in the setting of connective tissue diseases (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, mixed connective tissue disease, Sjögren syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis) and systemic infections (e.g., HIV). Myopathies occurring as complications of medications (toxic myopathies) are also dealt with elsewhere in the book. In this chapter, we will focus on myopathies related to endocrine disturbances, electrolyte imbalance, nutritional deficiency, and amyloidosis. We also discuss some other less well-defined syndromes such as fibromyalgia. ++ ENDOCRINE MYOPATHIES ++ Myopathies can complicate various endocrinopathies.1,2 In this section, we review myopathies associated with thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pituitary, and pancreatic disorders. ++ THYROID DISORDERS ++ Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can be associated with myopathy. In addition, polyneuropathy and neuromuscular junction disorders can occur with dysthyroid states and these need to be differentiated from one another. ++ THYROTOXIC MYOPATHY ++ Clinical Features ++ The mean age of onset of thyrotoxicosis is in the fifth decade. The severity of the myopathy does not necessarily relate to the severity of the thyrotoxicosis. Muscle symptoms usually appear several months after the onset of other clinical symptoms associated with mild hyperthyroidism.3 Interestingly, thyrotoxicosis is more common in females; however, thyrotoxic myopathy occurs more commonly in men. Anywhere from 61% to 82% of patients with thyrotoxicosis have some degree of detectable weakness on examination, but only about 5% of patients with thyrotoxicosis present with muscle weakness as their chief complaint.1,3–5 ++ Thyrotoxic myopathy is characterized by proximal muscle weakness and atrophy.2–7 Some individuals have severe shoulder-girdle atrophy and scapular winging.2 Distal extremity weakness can be the predominant feature in approximately 20% of patients.4 Myalgias and fatigue are common. Some patients develop dysphagia, dysphonia, and respiratory distress due to involvement of bulbar, esophageal–pharyngeal muscles, and ventilatory muscles.8,9 Weakness of extraocular muscles and proptosis occur in the setting of Graves' disease but the sphincters are spared in hyperthyroidism. Rarely, rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria can develop in severe thyrotoxicosis.10 ++ Muscle stretch tendon reflexes are often brisk. In addition, fasciculations and myokymia are occasionally seen which probably reflects thyrotoxicosis-induced irritability of anterior horn cells or peripheral nerves.11–13 Peripheral neuropathy in hyperthyroidism is quite rare, but a demyelinating polyneuropathy has been reported.11 ++ Other manifestations of hyperthyroidism include nervousness, anxiety, psychosis, tremor, increased perspiration, heat intolerance, palpitations, insomnia, diarrhea, increased appetite, and weight loss. Common signs include goiter, tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, widened pulse pressure, as well as warm, thin, and moist skin. ++ Myasthenia gravis can develop in association with Graves' disease. It can be a challenge distinguishing which neuromuscular symptoms are related to Graves' disease or to myasthenia gravis. Muscle ...

Twilight star Robert Pattinson is a Chain Smoker
Probably it is well know that Robert Pattinson has a real smoking habit. Sometimes on the set, he is even a heavy smoker.
Guri Weinberg, who enacts Stefan in "Breaking Dawn, Part 1" reveals a merry story about the "Twilight" vampire.
Making any film always implies a lot of down time. Robert's girlfriend Kristen Stewart is a chain smoker too, Guri also lights up but unlike others he currently is trying to quit this habit.
"I stopped smoking so many times in my life that sometimes it seems that I am in a continuous process of quitting. For anyone thinking constantly about smoking – just slap yourself for me. And you will miss it, I mean the social aspects."
So, here is the Guri's story about sharing cigarette breaks with Robert.
"On Breaking Dawn, I would as usual find Robert Pattinson smoking when I go outside to make at least a few puffs. We would generally chat on various subjects, and as usual after ending his cigarettes, he would ask for one of mine. Thus he would light up another cig and we'd continue talking. I think we would smoke for hours if there was a long break.
"I do not like to say that is how we made the acquaintance, but in fact that is how we got to know each other.
"As shooting proceed, I was lighting up a lot of cigarettes per day. I felt tired, sick and so on. So, with the help of my wife, who made many attempts before quitting, I really stopped smoking.
"Robert looks at me and says, 'Have you heard, that if you stop smoking before you are 30 you are in the clear, health-wise.'
"Since I am already not 30, quitting smoking doesn't seem too good. 'Hey, Robert. I am over 30. 'I know,' he says.
"Aren't you just a ray of sunshine? Please, Go f… yourself.'
"He is laughing out load. He wants to say something, but the never ending laugh impedes him to talk. Pretending that I am indignant at him, I get up to go to my room.
"Listen, man. I have to go. Currently Costco has a sale on caskets and probably it is a case of several minutes AT MY AGE.'
"Now, he is laughing too hard. But, I am still believing… man…I have been smoking for too long," he says.
Ever since I blogged this story about Rob, my website traffic has increased.
Fans have liked it. I often see fans on Twitter telling one another to "GFYS", and of course I get some several "GFYS" on a daily basis.
Robert's popularity is something mysterious.

It has been a while since I have blogged. I truly wasn't sure anyone read anything I wrote. I got busy. I lost motivation. But I am back, and willing to try this again.
This year has been so busy, already! I cannot believe it is the middle of June. The boys just got out of school a week ago. Tyler is with Rick and Margie right now, but will be home tomorrow. Matt and I have spent some fun time with Jake. We leave in 2 weeks for vacation the the Lake of the Ozarks. I am in desperate need of this trip!! I think we all are. There is just something about being away from home that makes it possible to relax more. I might have laundry to do, but the list isn't as long. There is no office to clean. No closets to clean. No yard to take care of. Well, actually there is, but they aren't my responsibility, so I don't have to think about them!! (sorry Margie!)
Jake is now 13. He is taller than me. His voice is very deep. And I just sit and wonder where the time went?!? Tyler is 9. How do I slow this clock down?
Well, I promise to be more insightful tomorrow. I just wanted to get going on this again. Enjoy your summer. I intend to!!

At Pet Pantry recently, groomers worked on a dog that came in with more than 70 feasting ticks hidden deep in its long fur.
It may be a harbinger of the season to come.
"Are we going to see perhaps a lot of ticks this year? I think the answer to that is probably yes," said Professor Rich Zack, who teaches entomology at Washington State University in Pullman. "It's been kind of a mild, wet spring; ticks like mild, wet spring."
While the ticks found in Central and Eastern Washington aren't likely to cause Lyme disease, health officials still urge caution to avoid other illnesses and complications associated with bites.
Ticks like to hang out in long grass and on the ends of low-hanging branches, where they can casually drop onto animals and people passing through the brush.
In Washington, the Western blacklegged tick (Ixodes pacificus) is the one known to spread Lyme disease, but it sticks to the west side of the state.
East of the Cascades, ticks can transmit Rocky Mountain spotted fever, but it's rare. Species here include the Rocky Mountain wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni) and the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus singuineus), which is found statewide.
It's been kind of a mild, wet spring; ticks like mild, wet spring.
Professor Rich Zack, Washington State University in Pullman
"The only downside to the ticks we have here would be, sometimes they can build up into very large numbers," Zack said.
So, between the two sides of the state: "Do I get a few little ticks I can't see that cause Lyme disease, which I do not want, or do I pick ticks off me for the rest of the day?"
The ticks here tend to be larger, which may not sound like a plus, but Zack said that the advantage is being able to feel and see them more easily, and fling them off before they cause problems.
"Very few people get to the point where those ticks are actually drawing blood from them, so that's a good thing," he said.
In Washington, the Western blacklegged tick is the one known to spread Lyme disease, but it sticks to the west side of the state.
Medical epidemiologist Marcia Goldoft with the state Department of Health said Central Washington residents should also be wary of soft ticks (Ornithodoros hermsi), which are more squishable but also tenacious.
Soft ticks live mostly in rodents, and therefore anywhere that rodents go: wood piles, spaces between walls, neglected corners of summer cabins. They're only active at night, when they're less likely to get squashed.
"These ticks can go for months without a meal — without blood," Goldoft said. "Someone comes to clean up (their summer cabin), goes to bed; the tick comes out of the wall or the wood and can bite."
Soft ticks can spread relapsing fever, which is treated with antibiotics and doesn't pose much risk to healthy adults, but has been associated with miscarriages in pregnant women who become infected.
Be wary of soft ticks, which can spread relapsing fever.
Another tick-related disease to watch out for is tick paralysis, which can be reversed if the tick is removed soon enough, but is even rarer in Washington than Lyme.
Serious Lyme concerns
Washington logs zero to three cases of Lyme disease each year, Goldoft said, and most of those are in people who caught the disease out of state.
But for those who do contract Lyme, the impact can be devastating.
Karine Waggoner was severely ill for about five years before doctors finally diagnosed Lyme disease a year ago. By then, the disease caused problems with her heart and adrenal glands, along with a lot of pain, said her husband, Corey.
Lyme disease symptoms are frequently mistaken for other illnesses: fever, chills, fatigue, muscle and joint pain; in more advanced cases, dizziness, heart palpitations, nerve pain and facial palsy. But the singular "bull's-eye" rash that appears at the site of the tick bite is the real giveaway.
Another tick-related disease is tick paralysis, but is rarer in Washington than Lyme disease.
"It was very visible, but we never really thought anything of it," Corey said of the rash. "We thought it was kind of like a spider bite — you move on, and you'll be OK."
Karine is being treated at an alternative medicine clinic in Idaho, where she's seeing improvement.
Despite their experience, Corey said, "You can't stop living; you can't stop going camping; you can't stop outdoor activities and doing the things that you love."
But they're practicing caution, and teaching their kids to be careful too.
"If you're in wooded areas or grassy areas, just be very mindful of if you do get a tick bite," he said. "Go and get tested right away."
Community health director Sheryl DiPietro at the Yakima Health District said part of the problem in missing diagnoses is that people don't always think to tell doctors about recent hikes as part of their medical history.
"Your avid hikers think about that, but people who don't do it very often don't think about ticks," she said.
Positive lab tests are reported to the health district, which then interviews the patient and reports back to the state.
In Yakima County, "We get them just every once in a great while," DiPietro said.
The state Health Department solicits tick submissions from people who have been bitten, which it tests in big batches every year at the University of Massachusetts to track whether diseases are cropping up in new areas.
Washington logs zero to three cases of Lyme disease each year, and most of those are in people who caught the disease out of state.
Last year, the department received 1,500 ticks from veterinarians and 360 from the public; so far, only about 50 have been sent in this year. It also does some field collection of its own.
Of the ticks tested for pathogens, only about 2 percent are positive for Lyme, said Wayne Clifford, state manager of pesticide illness and zoonotic disease surveillance and prevention.
Prevention tips
To prevent tick bites entirely, you have to steer clear of brush and tall grasses.
If you're hiking or camping, health officials advise wearing light-colored long sleeves and pants, with pants tucked into boots, and tying back or covering long hair. Use bug spray that includes Deet, and have a friend or spouse do a thorough inspection after getting home to make sure no ticks tagged along.
Hiker Phil Bird, a local member of the Cascadians, recommends Permethrin spray. He sprays his clothes with it and lets it dry completely before putting them on, and says it repels ticks through five to six washings. He also sprays the zipper and edges of his tent.
Pets are also highly susceptible to ticks, especially dogs and horses. Dogs can get Lyme disease too.
But body checks are still crucial.
"It's really hit and miss, to be honest," he said. "There may be a group of us that go out, and one or two get ticks, and the rest of us don't."
Pets are also highly susceptible to ticks, especially dogs and horses.
Emma Scott at Pet Pantry said dog owners should look first around the dog's head and neck, where ticks congregate because of the high blood flow.
It took several hours to remove the more than 70 ticks on the dog recently, most of which were around the head.
I feel like a lot of people know about ticks, but they don't realize how easy it is for their dogs to get ticks.
Emma Scott at Pet Pantry in Yakima
The shop sells shampoos, flea and tick sprays, medications and anti-tick collars, including some all-natural options, but Scott says awareness among owners is still lacking.
"I feel like a lot of people know about ticks, but they don't realize how easy it is for their dogs to get ticks," she said. "All it takes is for a dog to run through a bush and it could instantly have three ticks." Dogs can get Lyme disease too.
While Lyme and other tick-related diseases are a serious problem, epidemiologist Goldoft says people are at much higher risk for more mundane health issues.
"Wear sunscreen — you're more likely to die of skin cancer," she said. "And wear a seat belt when you're driving out there."
How to remove a tick
Here's some advice from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to remove a tick:
Use fine-tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin's surface as possible.
Pull upward with steady, even pressure. Don't twist or jerk the tick; this can cause the mouth-parts to break off and remain in the skin. If this happens, remove the mouth-parts with tweezers. If you are unable to remove the mouth easily with clean tweezers, leave it alone and let the skin heal.
After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water.
Dispose of a live tick by submersing it in alcohol, placing it in a sealed bag/container, wrapping it tightly in tape, or flushing it down the toilet. Never crush a tick with your fingers.

Course Information
Today there are an estimated 244 million international migrants around the world, the majority of whom are migrant workers. Globalization, demographic shifts, conflicts, income inequalities and climate change will encourage ever more people to cross borders in search of employment and security. Yet, the migration process entails complex challenges in terms of governance, migrant workers' protection, migration and development linkages and international cooperation. The Academy on Labour Migration (LMA) offers participants a unique opportunity to benefit from a diversified training package, exploring fair and effective labour migration governance, linkages between migration and sustainable development, and instruments and mechanisms for protecting migrants' and their families' rights. Participants will tailor their own two-week course by choosing from several electives, and will benefit from an innovative and dynamic learning environment.

Click here to download the flyer of the course in English with additional information .
The LMA aims at providing advanced knowledge and enhancing the capacity of key migration actors to better understand labour migration challenges and opportunities in a changing political, economic and social context.
It covers a wide range of labour migration cross-cutting themes, such as the protection of men and women migrant workers, fair and effective labour migration governance, and linkages between migration and sustainable development. At the end of the LMA, participants will be able to:
- Understand and address key issues and policies regarding labour migration at the global and regional level, and also from a gender perspective;
- Promote migration-development linkages and rights-based approaches to labour migration policies and programmes at national, regional and international levels;
- Recognize the pivotal role of social dialogue and key world-of-work actors (representatives of employers' and workers' organizations) in the development of labour migration policy, and in resolving critical issues relating to labour migration;
- Analyze and use International Labour Standards and ILO and United Nations supervisory mechanisms and procedures for protecting migrant workers' human rights, including labour rights;
- Deepen and master the "Decent Work" approach for migrants and refugees.
Target Audience
Target Audience
The LMA is aimed at the following groups:
- Policy planners and officials from various governmental institutions and agencies involved in labour migration
- Representatives of workers' and employers' organizations handling labour migration matters
- Staff of NGOs and civil society organizations, and activists working with migrant workers at the grass-roots level
- Representatives of diaspora and migrants' associations
- Staff of international development agencies and regional economic communities
- Researchers and academics working on labour migration issues
- Journalists and media workers
The LMA's content will draw upon the ILO Agenda on Fair Migration and other key outcomes, such as the Conclusions of the International Labour Conference general discussion on labour migration held in June 2017, the Conclusions of the Tripartite Technical Meeting on Labour Migration held in November 2013, the ILO Multilateral Framework on Labour Migration 2006, and the 2004 International Labour Conference plan of action for migrant workers. The Guiding Principles on Access of Refugees and other Forcibly Displaced Persons to the Labour Market, adopted by the Tripartite Technical Meeting in July 2016 and the Principles and Operational Guidelines on Fair Recruitment, adopted by the Tripartite Meeting of Experts in September 2016, are also important and relevant recent sources.
While there will inevitably be some overlap between the content of the daily plenary forum and the elective courses – as well as some overlap in the content of the elective courses – the objective of the latter is to investigate the topics under discussion in considerably more detail.
As an indication of the kind of issues covered by the LMA, examples of possible plenary sessions and elective courses, based also on those offered in past editions, are provided below. The selection of elective courses will depend on the profi le of the registered participants.

Format and Methodology
Format and Methodology
The ITC promotes a three-phased approach in its learning activities:
- Distance phase (online platform): two weeks before the Face-to-face (residential) phase, during which participants can access initial information on the course content, follow an introductory module and select the elective course they wish to attend.
- Face-to-face phase (residential): which combines lectures and discussions, as well as case studies, role-play exercises and group work.
- Follow-up phase (online platform) : during which participants can access course material, as well as new resources online, and can continue discussion and consultation with other participants and experts on the internet through the Forum discussion of the online platform but also with the alumni of former editions of the LMA through social network groups, such as Facebook and LinkedIn.
During the LMA:
- An action-oriented, highly participative approach will be used, with particular attention devoted to sharing international experiences with a view to their adaptation and practical application.
- Training methods will combine lectures and discussions, case studies, open space debate, role-play exercises and group work using up-to-date learning methods and technologies.
- Particular attention will be paid to the presentation of "good practices" through case studies reflecting experiences already gained locally and internationally, with a view also to contributing to the ILO good practices database on labour migration policies and programmes.
|Coffee brak
|Morning elective courses
|Friday: Networking session

The highly professional method by which we enable production of the best quality textile goods has enrooted its basis in the experience of highly professional and experienced management who do hold in depth knowledge of textile products.
Leaded by the native experience, the method to get the best quality finished goods to the customer, textile materials need to go through several processes in WTC factory. These processes are aligned keeping in view the method followed by factories in first world countries.
At very first step our raw material procurement department keeps in close touch with global first grade original rags exporting organizations. To achieve the highest satisfaction level of our utmost customer, we have about 4 to 6 channels through out the world to get original rags.
Next step to explore the method is to have goods sorted out in pre defined manner. To have swift performance and comfortable working environment for workforce, an electronic conveyor belt has been installed. Workers standing at its sides pick up their concerned textile product and enable swift segregation.
Segregated textile goods are then sent over to concerned departments for their further checking and grading purpose. To perform this task of grading at par, WTC offer three stage checking of goods to assure less then 1% chances of mistake. At first grading stage an experienced person is deployed to check and segregate goods.
After being finalized by first grading team member, the goods are brought to the team leader who check each item one by one to assure quality control.
As soon as these team leaders pass the products to be at standard of WTC, another team passes it from a random check to find out discrepancy if any. In this way WTC enable itself to assure client for the best quality product required by them.
Now when all the checking and quality control activities are performed on the products, it comes near to final stage where it is weighed and packed at international standards. Proper weight record is kept for each single unit to ensure there don't be any lagging at any stage.
Keeping in view the requirements of the clients we offer packaging at 45kg/unit and 80kg/unit. This also gives WTC an edge over the competitors in market. To enable this facility WTC has equipped its premises with high-tech machines.
After being packed at international standard, finished goods are stored at separate premises of work house from where it is exported to global clients. So far WTC has been able to get good market share in very short span of time and the growth trend shows a further bright time for it to come. We welcome you to give us a chance to work with your end and let us deliver the best to you.

SOVEREIGN DEBT has a number of options at home and abroad for his next run.
Since joining Ruth Carr from the late Dandy Nicholls, the eight-year-old has been in flying form bagging the All-Weather Mile at Lingfield, the bet365 Mile and the Diomed Stakes at Epsom.
He was last seen finishing a fair fifth in the Summer Mile at Ascot last month.
Carr said: "He's in great form and we've a few options coming up for him.
"There are two races at York, the Strensall Stakes over a mile on the Saturday and the seven-furlong race on the Friday (City of York Stakes), which is actually worth a lot more money.
"We've also given him an entry in Turkey. It's a Group 2 over a mile (Topkapi Trophy) and it's worth proper money.
"If he goes there, that will probably mean we'll miss York, so we'll see.
"There are also races at Haydock (Superior Mile) and Leopardstown (Boomerang Stakes), so we have plenty of options and we'll see how we go in the next couple of weeks.
"Whatever happens he doesn't owe anybody anything. He's been the horse of a lifetime for the owners, and for me."
