Demand indicators available on FINclusion Lab can also be used to highlight demographic strands who are excluded and to analyze visible gaps in inclusion. Which regions are lagging behind in financial inclusion-related progress? Four of the nine economic regions are below the national median of 2.83 access points per 10,000 people. The majority of the underserved rayons are in the regions of Lankaran, Yukhari-Karabakh and Nakchivan. click to enlarge image What are key regional variations in market penetration across different types of financial services providers (FSPs)? Banks and post offices together account for 84% of Azerbaijan's total access points with both maintaining roughly equal numbers of access points. Post offices are more evenly spread across the country, while banks are focused in a few rayons like Baku, Ganja, Sumqayit, etc. click to enlarge image Which provinces have low supply-demand ratios and could potentially be targeted for intervention by policy makers? In most rayons the number of access points appears to be inversely correlated with rural population; as seen in the image below rayons with a large rural population tend to have a low number of access points. click to enlarge image FSPFinancial services providers (FSPs) are interested in gaps in their personal operating markets, but will also find the competitor analysis possible using Finclusion Lab dashboards compelling. Strategic use of information will allow FSPs to better balance risk and growth based on their individual organizational strategies. Which rayons have very low to no credit union presence and could potentially be targeted for expansion? Azerbaijan exhibits scattered distribution of credit union access points across the country. While credit unions are present in some rayons where banks are not, they are absent in others where banks have a limited presence - such as Qobustan, Naftalan, and Xizi. click to enlarge image How is competition distributed across specific regions / markets of interest to our firm? Banks are heavily concentrated in Absheron, while less formal access points such as post offices have a broader national distribution. Economic regions such as Nakhchivan offer great opportunities for new market entrants as all financial services provider (FSP) types have low concentrations of access points. click to enlarge image Which rayons are least penetrated by the competition, relative to the opportunity? Rayons like Sumqayit, Ganja, Shirvan are the top three rayons in terms of population density but have lower than the national median of access points per 10,000 people. click to enlarge image FundersFunders have many interests in common with regulators (high level expansion, inclusion within existing systems, risk mitigation, and the stability and soundness of the market) but operate differently. Funders are often interested in major "last mile" projects , and some operate as local "market facilities" to support and improve market function. In which rayons can donor funding really help improve financial inclusion? Some of the least served rayons (in light blue in the below image) such as Kalbajar, Lachin, and Jabrayil are underserved by even the best distributed financial service providers (banks and post offices). In these rayons donor funding could greatly improve progress toward financial inclusion. click to enlarge image Which regions should funders potentially target to help increase financial inclusion in rural areas? The highlighted regions with high rural populations might be good initial targets for funder investment. Targeted investment directed toward rural areas could reach some of the least served populations in Azerbaijan. click to enlarge image Sub-national Analysis Description: FINclusion Lab's geospatial maps depict the distrubtion of financial access points at several levels of administrative divison. Users can click different options under the Geography heading to select different levels of administrative division. See the below images for examples of analysis at the first and second levels of administrative division. click to enlarge image Observations: Although the Yukhari-Karabakh economic region has a fair (if scant) distribution of access points (59 in total), a more granular analysis of this region at the rayon level reveals that it contains five rayons with no access points at all (Khojali, Khankendi, Shusha, Shusha City, and Jabrayil).

I said my kid would never get formula. Well, that was before chronic low supply, > than 10% weight loss, and tongue and lip tie were thrown at me on day 2. She had formula along with the teeny amount of breast milk I was making until she was 2 weeks old when I was able to source enough donor milk to get her back to being exclusively breast fed. Guess what? She lived! We may have to transition back to some formula depending on how much milk donations we can get, and I know she will be just fine (even if I cry the first bottle lol).
I constantly have guilt over missing pumps (mostly due to my sweet little girl not being able to handle more than 10 minutes without my undivided attention). I still somewhat struggle with this but I look at it this way... is it more important for her to have as much of my milk as possible (yes, important) or the time and comfort she needs from her mommy? To me, the latter is more important so if she's screaming like a banshee, the pump will wait (sadly the plugged ducts won't so I try to keep as much to my pump schedule as possible).
I said my baby wouldn't watch any tv until 2. I would like to stick as closely to this as possible, mainly for the effects it can have on their brain.... not because I want a mom badge. BUT going back to missing pumps, my baby LOVES THE TV. I basically keep it off all the time now because there is no way to have it on for background without her gluing herself to it. BUT if I'm about to miss a 2nd pump in a row and want to avoid aforementioned plugged ducts (and even lower supply than normal), you better believe I have turned the tv on for a few minutes here or there to distract her.
I said I'd wear my baby all the time because it's better for their physical and social development. I do wear her a lot, and I actually really love wearing her.... but... wearing a baby in the summer is HOT. Yes, I have a summer fabric. STILL HOT. Sometimes it is so nice to plop her in the stroller when we go for walks! And sometimes getting the stroller out is no more work than wrangling her into the sling. So hey, if a stroller makes life easier sometimes, then stroller it is.
Basically, I could sit... and have sat!... and stress over all these things, feel guilty, and think I'm not a good enough mom. But I am quickly learning that it is so not worth it. I enjoy my vocation a lot less when I'm sitting here grading myself on my performance. And I enjoy it a lot more when I just snuggle my baby :) .

Learn about the legacies of the Vietnam War in the lives of Americans who experienced it first hand in Lesson Six of Vietnam War Oral History Lesson Plans.
Paul Wisovaty lived in Taylorville, Illinois and developed a skepticism about war and the motives of his government after his experience in Vietnam. Jerome Weise of Rantoul, Illinois served as a medic in Vietnam and came to believe that his experience caused long-term health problems. Richard Hertel was married and living in Milladore, Wisconsin during the war and drew strength from his experience in Vietnam to cast off the life that was expected of him and embrace the his truth as a gay man. Steve Allen, who grew up on a small farm in Tuscola, Illinois, was forever scarred by the experience of watching friends die in Vietnam, yet his journey to the Vietnam Wall in Washington has helped him make some sense and peace about his experience. Terry Hairrell was living in Waukegan, Illinois during the Vietnam War. After serving in the Army in Vietnam, he struggled with a variety of issues after the war as he began to put his life back together with the help of his wife.

5 day trip destinations from El Puerto de Santa María
Explore Andalucia with these five places!
Explore Andalucia with these five places!
Why you should spend your summer in El Puerto de Santa María!
En estas procesiones participan distintos colectivos agrupados en cofradías o hermandad religiosa bajo el reconocimiento eclesiástico.
See why you should come and explore wonderful El Puerto de Santa Maria. A great place to learn Spanish.
Spark´s location in El Puerto de Santa Maria in the Province Cadiz is great during the summer for going to the beach and doing watersports like windsurfing and kiting when the days are hot and […]
Studying with Spark also means living in El Puerto de Santa Maria, a lovely town in the province Cadíz. El Puerto de Santa Maria does not only have a variety of historic features and beautiful […]
This week is my last week as an intern for my work & study program at Spark. In the six weeks I have been here, I wrote blogpost about the Spanish cultural events that my fellow Spark staff members and I organized for the students. This week we had our third Spanish cooking class since my arrival at Spark. It is a fantastic cultural activity dedicated to the delicious cuisine of Andalusia and Spain. So, in the meantime I can cook like a Spaniard! Moreover, these cooking activities are good to practice your Spanish vocabulary. The students will choose or write a Spanish recipy and secondly they need to buy the food in the Spanish supermarket. During the cooking and eating we try to speak as much Spanish as possible!
Why study Spanish in El Puerto de Santa Maria? El Puerto is ideally located in the Cádiz province and you can visit beautiful cities in its surroundings, such as Cádiz, Sevilla, Jerez, Granada, Ronda, Córdoba, Málaga, Gibraltar or smaller cities such as the famous Pueblos Blancos or beautiful towns at the coastline. But El Puerto itself has a lot to offer too! So, this week we focus on our beloved and beautiful El Puerto de Santa Maria in our cultural events programme! The cultural events enable our students to discover the best of Spain: 'Descubre España'!
On Saturday we went with a group of Spark students on a daytrip to the wonderful city Cádiz. Spark organizes cultural events for students to experience the Spanish lifestyle here in the Cádiz region, which give Spark students a total package of learning Spanish. Since Cádiz is not only the capital of the province Cádiz but also the oldest city of Europe, it is a must-to-see during your stay in El Puerto de Santa Maria.
This week I organized two food related cultural activities in El Puerto de Santa Maria as an intern at Spark for my workexperience program. A pretty good job, right?
It is October but it still pretty hot in El Puerto de Santa Maria, so we started with an refreshing welcome drink on tuesday and ate some delicious tapas for lunch at tapasbar Molinete.

City businesswoman murdered
Neighbours said it was Sumintra Dinool's son raised the alarm just 4:30 Sunday morning. He reportedly found the woman on her bed with her hands and feet tied to the bed.
The house was ransacked, several pieces of electrical appliances were reportedly missing and over $100,000 in cash was taken from the woman's home. He immediately alerted his relatives who lived next door and called in the police. When this newscast visited relatives at the Barr and Sussex Street Albouystown home they were reluctant to speak to the media, as they were busy trying to put the pieces together on what may have gone wrong.
At the station this morning the woman's ex-husband and son who made the gruesome discovery were back to render assistance as the police look for clues. Dinool 65 year old owned several stalls in the vendors arcade and was said to be very quiet and easy going according to residents.
And two men remained in custody as the investigation continues into the death of 17 year old Lusignan youth Danrag Latchman.
On Friday the east coast family worst fears were confirmed with news of his death. The man's body was found some five miles from where his white 212 Carina car was found late Thursday night in the Parika Backdam.
The youth left for Parika on Wednesday with friends from his home village of Lusignan.
The police are expected to bring charges against the men soon.

Cultivating & Maintaining a Culture of Innovation
Cultivating and Maintaining a Culture of Innovation
Proven Principles and Best Practices
It's a universally accepted fact of business: innovation is vital to every company's long-term success. What's still wide open to debate is: How does an organization successfully foster, establish, and sustain a genuine culture of innovation? As Andrew J. Sherman, a noted expert on intellectual property management and business growth, shows in his new book, HARVESTING INTANGIBLE ASSETS (AMACOM, 2011), the answer can be found in the trusted principles and practices of highly successful innovative companies. They include:
* Google's 70/20/10 rule. Each employee should spend 70 percent of his or her time working on the core business, 20 percent working on ways to extend or expand the core, and 10 percent thinking completely outside the box. At Google, the 20 percent window has been very productive, yielding many of the company's recent innovations, including Gmail, Google News, and AdServe.
* 3M's 30 percent/4 year rule. At 3M, 30 percent of total sales must result from products introduced within the past four years, forcing innovative products to have an almost immediate impact on the top and bottom lines. This rule is supported by the 15 percent rule, which allows technical personnel to spend 15 percent of their time on projects of their own choosing without any prior approvals.
* Cast a wide net. Innovation can come from many sources—both inside and outside a company. Look to customers, vendors, and even competitors as sources for new ideas and guidance on improving existing products and service. "Do not allow your culture to suffer from NIH (not invented here) syndrome, which assumes that ideas not generated by the leaders of the organization cannot possibly be worthy of consideration," Sherman urges.
* Stay close to customer needs. Innovation doesn't pay unless there's a market for it. UPM, a Finnish paper manufacturer, has established a novel practice to ensure that its R&D teams keep focused on customer needs: brainstorming with value-chain players across the paper industry, from large commercial printers to paper wholesalers and retailers.
* Embrace the headless tiger. Microsoft continued to do it without Bill Gates. Apple will continue to do it without Steve Jobs. Since visionary founders and leaders don't stay with their companies forever, the company's culture must be prepared to innovate with or without their day-to-day presence. Team-driven innovation works to create leaders at all levels that can sustain and strengthen the founder's vision long after he or she steps down. Maintaining a culture of innovation depends on investments in training, commitments to empowerment and delegation, and the development of meaningful succession plans.
* Let the RATS in. An effective, ongoing innovation process requires a systematic approach and commitment to the deployment of "RATS": Resources, including human capital, time, and supplies; Advocacy, from both internal and external advocates who will help secure resources and provide emotional support for innovative projects; Testing and evaluation to predict the financial return on the resources invested; and Sustainable demand, based on the identification of target customers, markets, channels, and potential strategic partners.
* Make it fun—and remain open minded. Fun can be functional and productive. Game playing, role playing, experimenting, exercises, retreats, and parties can all facilitate creative thinking. Fun liberates the brain, allowing people to break down barriers and look beyond what they're expected to see. For example, consider Viagra. In the early 1990s, Pfizer began testing a compound to treat certain cardiovascular diseases. One of the observed side effects was not at all what they expected. "Needless to say," as Sherman observes, "a little repackaging and repositioning, and the rest is history."

It was a great honour to be invited to judge the Beagles in Dortmund and having not previously judged in Europe, it was a tremendous learning opportunity. Assessing and critiquing each exhibit makes the judge consider each one on its own merit. Under the continental system the judge has to test and challenge their own preconceptions all the time, and I think I learned a great deal, which I hope I can use to improve my own judging back in the UK. The VDH were, of course, outstanding hosts and went out of their way to make everybody welcome with every detail attended to throughout the show.
I thought the system of prejudging the various groups excellent as it kept the events moving at a sensible pace and adds to the theatre of the event for the spectators. A great show and a great experience.

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, BUT PLEASE POST YOUR BUG RELATED COMMENTS THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE AVAILABLE AT <http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21095>. ANY REPLY MADE TO THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT BE COLLECTED AND INSERTED IN THE BUG DATABASE. http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21095 SSI error ------- Additional Comments From email@example.com 2003-07-08 17:57 ------- In order to spare you the pain of wading through our rewrite-and-redirect- laden config file, I worked on replicating the bug from a vanilla apache install. I did a default install and made changes to the config file only to enable SSI. The bug did not manifest itself in this situation. So I began looking at the settings in our custom config and experimenting by making similar changes to the vanilla install. One thing that I failed to mention when I posted this bug is that our document root is an NFS volume. Thus in our config, as recommended, we turned off sendfile and mmap support. So I tried turning memory mapping off (EnableMMap off) but left sendfile support on and was then able to successfully replicate the erroneous SSI behavior. To further narrow the scope of this error, I tried the same config but switched the document root to a non-NFS volume and I still encountered the same problem. So it would appear that this error occurs only when memory mapping is turned off. Andre: I will be mailing you the config I have been working with in a few minutes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Interview with Joe Bateman - Pop Singer
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I am proud of a short personal project I worked on in the summer. It was a two day project where I wrote the song, recorded it, mixed and produced it, for both audio and video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_4OGaxstVw
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am working on multiple projects for other clients and an upcoming EP of my own songs
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital. It's the world in which we live
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I promise I will do the very best I can, giving you 110% and believe you will be very happy with the results
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I get to be creative. I can't do normal jobs!
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: They ask me if I can certain way to which I honestly will reply that I will give it a shot but that you are buying my voice - not somebody else's
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: I look younger than I am
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I ask varied questions - project dependant
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don't settle for someone who is not exactly what your song needs
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: A good book, a guitar, a toothbrush, a lighter, a raincoat
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have playing the guitar since ten and picked up other instruments as I've been going along. I have worked as a solo artist the most amount of time though one of my most recent projects was as part of an 80s cover band. I currently make my income through sessional lyric/songwriting and singing for other people's tracks
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I vary in my own personal tastes. I would describe myself as a singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist. My style is pop acoustic with elements or rnb and sometimes even blues
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would like to work with John Mayer because his style of playing and genre of music is some of my favourite to play along to. I have a lot of admiration for his work
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Never release your music until it is ready. Don't wait too long until you think it is ready or it never will be
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I generally work on pop and rub tracks but am comfortable with a wide rage of genres
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is my ability to adapt and create quickly while remaining focused on attention to detail
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I believe I bring a strong amount of creative flare and attempt to add catchy and gripping vocal melodies. As a lyricist I attempt to keep the listener captivated in the theme or story and as a singer I intend to impress
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Typically I will repeatedly listen to the track the client sends me so I can absorb the feeling and direction of the song. After correspondence with the client (to ensure I know what is required) I will systematically record sections of the vocal track according to the scratch vocals - unless otherwise indicated by the client
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I record in a professional home studio through a high end SE Electronics Condenser microphone. This runs through and M-Audio interface with excellent preamps and into a Mac running Logic X
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I am inspired by many great singers of different genres and while having a great amount of admiration for their music and voices attempt to create something that fresh and original
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most commonly I sing the lead vocal and a background harmony for my clients. Typically I will receive a scratch vocal recording they have made for a point of reference and we take it from there. Sometimes I am privileged to write lyrics for the song which I find a lot of fun

You definately have an interesting heritage. I am too interested to get discouraged. I never imagined in my wildest dream I'd find as much information as I already have. My oldest is 14 and I'd love to have as complete history as possible to give him when he's ready to start his own family, so hopefully I have some time to work on it and the same for my daughters. My mother was 35 when she died and honestly the last thing I thought about asking her about was her family. Now I have some answers to questions that I've always wondered about. Thanks for all your help. Connie

Jim and Natalie meet on a freezing London sidewalk. He is hurrying to a business meeting. The beautiful Thai woman is shoplifting a bottle of Listerine. With no way of communicating but sex and thirty words of English, their love must surely destroy them, as Jim's financial judgement deserts him, and Natalie becomes entangled with the gang that trafficked her to England.
Shock Kundalini awakenings can be devastating, physically and personally. As Jim struggles to understand what is happening to him, and Natalie's claim to be a "big Buddha woman" puts her at greater and greater risk, their love seems doomed, unless sex itself can become a path to transcendence. The erotic classics, such as Tristan and Isolde and Madame Bovary, speak of a love that is tragic because it breaks social conventions and defies moral taboos. Jim and Natalie defy the violent materialism of our age, and break the taboo against pushing consciousness beyond its everyday limits.
Here's what author Peggy Payne had to say about Natalie:
"I keep an eye out for what's new in the world on the subject of kundalini. As you may know, my novel Cobalt Blue focuses on the creative and at the same time disruptive power of this life force, by the Sanskrit name of kundalini, rising to flood level in an unsuspecting woman.
"Now I find another novel is about to come out on the topic: Natalie: A Kundalini Love Story by Paul Lyons. There are only a handful of novels that deal with the subject. Like Cobalt Blue, this one is a story of erotic obsession."
Paul Lyons was born in Australia. He attended Sydney University, and won a scholarship to read English at Cambridge, interpreting Shakespeare from a Tantric perspective, and got kicked out at the end of his first year. He worked as a brick layer and piano player in London. His first novel, The Eden Man, celebrating of the mysticism of manual labour, was a Times Reviewers Book Of The Year and won a Fellowship from the Australia Literature Board. His Kundalini awakening occurred on a frozen footpath in North London, when he encountered the Female Buddha, Vajrayogini, embodied in a beautiful Thai woman. He now lives in Mae Suai, in the mountains of Northern Thailand, teaching English and music in the village school.
Says JJ Semple:
"Lyons' book combines an interracial love story with the trafficking of Asian women into the UK. It's a story of sexual obsession neatly interwoven into a thriller storyline that ultimately allows the lovers to escape the violent materialism of today's world through compulsive, yet rapturous, Tantric lovemaking."
Excerpt #1
"She burst from a doorway, spat on the sidewalk, a string of spittle trailing from her lips. It took me an instant to register how beautiful she was, and to notice the jacket hanging over her shoulders covered a short, pink petticoat, and that all she had on her feet was a pair of slippers. The day was freezing. The shoppers on Kilburn High Road all wore scarves and woolly hats. My overcoat offered scant protection against the mid-December cold.

"The door swung shut behind her, and locked itself with a click, shutting her out. A piece of green cardboard, cut into a star shape, with a name scrawled on it, was stuck to the intercom. She didn't buzz to be let back in. She stood gagging and glaring at me. I was gawking at her, blocking the narrow aisle between the wire bins of two sidewalk displays, one heaped with shoes, the other filled with bottles of detergent and toilet brushes.
"Her broad lips were moist at the corners where some pimples had been smothered with powder. When she scowled, a dimple, like a surgical incision, stood far out in either cheek. Her body was full and willowy. She was tall for an Asian woman.
"I didn't move. It was a struggle to remember I had a meeting to go to."
"She pushed between the pound shop's bins of household merchandise. The wire baskets tilted and scraped as she barged them apart. Bottles of bleach jumped. A pack of washing up pads fell onto the sidewalk. She didn't stop to pick it up. As she forced her way across the rows, squeezing between the browsing shoppers, her petticoat snagged on a piece of wire.
"She grabbed a bottle of Listerine out of a pile, twisted the cap off, thrust it to her lips, tipped her head back, and filled her mouth with the antiseptic. A blue trickle ran down her chin."
Excerpt #2
"My hand was cupped between her legs, fingers bent, palm arched, as if it was trapping a wasp. I sensed, from the way they ached, that my fingertips hadn't moved from the prickly warmth above her pussy for a long time. The bristles breathed in and out between my quick and my fingernail. The heel of my hand stayed anchored in the give of her stomach.
"Somewhere below my palm, her caesarean scar forbade me to touch it.
"I had no idea what time it was. It felt late. A clock ticked just behind my head, but I knew that if I turned to look at it I'd wake her.
"Somewhere in the nightmare arrangements of my home life, I'd agreed to always get back before my family were in bed.
"The prickle of her bush turned to a speck of rubbery skin. Her clitoris felt miles down, below the folded softness, unreachable, tiny, a grain of sand stuck on a bony resistance.
"I knew that, in her own way, she too felt the stinging brightness. She too, in some 'prince and princess' dream, saw the shining thread of something that was unapproachable, yet everywhere."
"My fingertip rose on the peak of her pussy as she breathed out. The speck of rubbery skin pressed against me, working itself moist, wetting my fingertip, trapping it in finer and finer folds of slipperiness. The grain of sand slid sideways, vanished on a bony push.
"She drew in a long, waking breath and spread her legs wider. A hardness gathered, grew heavier, touchable, a callous under my fingertip.
"A foot landed on my knee. She gripped my cock with her bum, squeezing my erection with small clasps of her arse muscles, showing me where Kundalini was, inside her body, burning towards the surface. My finger slipped on her clitoris and slid down a spasm of wetness. It was time to fuck. There was no alternative, but to roll face to face and screw."
Excerpt #3
"I had to change the way I was living, before I went crazy. A new, and scary, way of making choices was required of me. From now on, I needed to live as if consciousness was the source of my body, even if my body didn't for one moment believe it. From tonight on, I needed to pretend that I was motivated by an idea I didn't accept as true, for the sake of the dizzying split seconds when it was true. I wondered if this was what Natalie was doing too, at this very instant—fantasizing she was a 'big Buddha woman', an angel, telling herself lies for the sake of the dizzying split seconds when the lies came true. That she was a big Buddha woman with Pra, and not me, made me moan with pain.
"I once touched a live electric cable. For an instant, before the circuit breaker cut off the current, my fingers closed spastically round the cable. As it passed through me, the current spasm-ed my hand and locked it to the charged wire.
"The energy at the base of the spine is so powerful that consciousness spasms around it; closes spastically round the current; is locked in a paralysis in which consciousness seems to be nothing but the ghostly adjunct to physicality. But this isn't how it really is. When the power at the base of the spine, Kundalini, is experienced in Her original state, as consciousness—when the spasm-d hand opens— then Kundalini is known as what She truly is, intelligence."
Author Q&A
Q: You claim that Natalie, A Kundalini Love Story is both a fiction and a spiritual autobiography. How?
A: Much of the book is directly authentic, the way in which Kundalini awakened in me, the woman with whom the awakening took place, the effect it had on our lives. I then wove this core of personal reality into an erotic thriller, because I felt that narrative form can give a truer idea of the impact of Kundalini than direct description.
Q: The book begins with a degradingly mechanical sexual act. What's spiritual about that?
A: I can only describe what happened. Because the sex was mechanical, neither of us reached orgasm. The orgasm energy shot to the brain and woke a deeper force, which blossomed into love.
Q: Jealousy plays a central role in the story. Surely jealousy can only be negative.
A: Jealousy arises from the fear of being replaceable. But the fact is we are replaceable, insofar as we are just an ego and an ego-driven body. Jealousy can bring us to the point of facing our insubstantiality. It can force us to jump beyond ego to what is genuinely unique.
Q: You've said that a widespread awakening of Kundalini will transform art and literature. How does this relate to the way you write?
A: At the moment transcendence is latent. It's present in art and literature, but hidden. I think a widespread awakening of Kundalini will bring transcendence out into the open in books, music, film, painting etc. Paradoxically, the result will be an art that's more, not less, down-to-earth and emotive. I like the sparky dialogue of Elmore Leonard's crime novels and the raw honesty of Charles Bukowski's early books. Natalie, A Kundalini Love Story could be compared to Elmore Leonard confronting Krishnamurti, or Bukowski getting it on with the Song Of Songs.
Q: Isn't your book just pornographic?
A: Pornography aims to titillate and frustrate. When Kundalini awakes in the sexual act both titillation and frustration are bye-passed as the erotic energy rises up the spine and opens out into a transcendent state. The sex scenes in Natalie, A Kundalini Love Story follow this rising and opening out process. They are episodes in a real life love story as well as being a passage through the different sensory worlds of the chakras. That's not pornography.

Planet Fitness will open its first Gainesville location in early 2011, joining Verde Plaza's other new additions.
Planet Fitness will open its first Gainesville location in early 2011, joining Verde Plaza's other new additions.
A Dollar Tree is scheduled to open later this fall and The Eastern Market, an Asian grocery store, opened last week.
The gym will replace the former movie theater in Verde Plaza -- a 14,800-square-foot outparcel at 1575 N.W. 23rd Ave., off Northwest 13th Street.
"We've been doing a total renovation of the whole center," said Betsy Whitaker, leasing agent for Verde Plaza and president of Asset Management Inc. "We're very excited about its new facelift and how it's looking."
Planet Fitness originated in Dover, N.H., in 1992 and has 350 franchises in 38 states.
Daniel Anson, who will be the operations manager for the Gainesville location, said his experiences in Gainesville made him realize it's an ideal location for the gym. He and his father are alumni of the University of Florida and his sister is enrolled in her senior year.
"We feel like there are a lot of people who would be attracted to a concept like Planet Fitness," he said. "It's affordable and it allows members to embark on specific aspects of fitness people are interested in."
Membership costs about $10 a month and does not require long-term commitments, meaning customers can end their contract whenever they want, Anson said.
The Gainesville franchise also will have "a little bit of something for everyone," he said, offering cardio and strength equipment, a 30-minute circuit training program, tanning rooms and massage chairs. Pre-sale memberships should begin in early January, according to a news release.

Secret lives of celebrities have always been a hot topic around Hollywood, and the more secretive their behaviour becomes, the larger the media circus that it will create. Some of the secrets are simply the result of bad luck, while others are simply CRAZY, serving to remind us of the troubled past some of the most famous people in the world have had.
From family drama and random acts of violence, to being at the wrong place at the wrong time, the secrets that these celebrities are trying to hide are as juicy as they get. Following is a list of the most shocking and terrifying life experiences of our beloved celebrities.
Charlize Therons Mother Murdered Her Father
Charlize Theron grew up on a farm near Johannesburg in South Africa, and she was only 15 years old when she witnessed her mother Gerda fatally shooting her father Charles. Charles Theron was an abusive father and husband who had repeatedly mistreated his family. The fatal incident occurred in 1991 when Charles actually threatened Gerdas life, and feeling like she didnt have a choice, she shot him dead.
Given the circumstances of the incident, their family history and Charles drinking problem, it was ruled in court that Gerda acted in self-defense. Not surprisingly, Charlize doesnt like to discuss her familys past, and openly talked about this incident only once in a 2004 ABC interview. The lives of celebrities are so exposed that they are left for everyone to judge, but some things are simply better left untouched.

Definition: Blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.
Small changes can prevent the onset of Type II diabetes and rid you of your pre-diabetes.
What You Eat
One of the simplest and most important dietary changes is to eliminate refined sugars and sugar products from your diet. These products spike blood sugar levels making your pancreas work harder and add to the problem of insulin resistance, a condition where your body doesn't allow insulin to provide your cells and muscles with glucose which means this extra sugar stays in your blood system wreaking havoc on your system. Such products include:
Reduce Carbohydrates!
To help your body better regulate blood glucose levels, control your overall carbohydrate intake, replacing simple carbohydrates with complex carbohydrate foods such as whole grains, beans, legumes, and other fiber-rich vegetables.
In addition, reduce or eliminate alcohol and caffeine from your daily life. Avoid fast food and processed "junk" foods and soda, altogether.
Ask for your free TruChoice low glycemic, limited carbohydrate menu and shopping list. All of our meal plans are designed by certified nutritionists.
Get Active
You don't have to become a marathon runner or spend hours in the gym. Regular exercise needs be part of every pre- and type II diabetics routine. Exercise combined with a weight loss program has been proven by the National Institutes of Health to reduce the odds of developing diabetes by 58 percent among people who are at risk for the disease. That is nearly double the rate of risk reduction achieved by people who take oral medications for their diabetes symptoms.
Exercise is extremely helpful for pre- and type II diabetes because of how it mimics the proper function of insulin to open the muscle cells for glucose to enter. Light exercise-which may include circuit training, walking, swimming, bicycling, or any other of your favorite daily activities that increase your heart rate, as well as sweating-not only helps to control weight, but also helps to oxygenate tissues as well as lowering and stabilizing blood sugar levels.
Get your free "How To" video showing you the proper form for exercises that require no equipment. TruChoice exercise programs are developed by Certified Personal Trainers and each program is personally designed to meet your current fitness level and goals.
Weight Management
Being overweight is possibly the most serious risk factor for pre- and type II diabetes, as well as many other serious chronic conditions, such as heart disease and various types of cancer.
When it comes to weight loss, a planned, consistent loss of one to two pounds each week has been shown to be the most effective way to lose weight and keep it off. This weekly loss may be larger depending on how close you are to your ideal weight. Fad weight loss strategies rarely result in sustained weight loss. More often than not, with these plans, all lost weight is regained and often with a few additional pounds. This is because these plans are not sustainable, destroy your metabolism and teach you nothing regarding healthy living.
With TruChoice, you will know exactly how many calories you should eat in a given day and how many calories you burn during exercise and in the course of your daily routine.

Animated 3D movies drive demand for HPC
Three-dimensional computer-generated animations can be eye-poppingly cool and funky, but they're also driving a need to handle massive quantities of data by the back-end processing systems.
The genre requires hundreds of thousands of individual images to be rendered through digital animation software to create each frame of projected film. The entertainment industry is becoming a major market for IT vendors as a result, especially the requirement to provision massive processing and storage resources on a non-permanent basis.
Illumination Entertainment's newly-released 3D computer animated movie Despicable Me, for instance (pictured), generated around 142 Terabytes (Tb) of data. The company contracted Parisian digital production studio Mac Guff Ligne to complete the year-long process of intensive graphics and 3-D animation rendering, totalling some 500,000 frames per week.
Technology partners IBM and French high-performance computing integrator Serviware, built a dedicated 6,500-core server farm based on IBM's iDataPlex platform to support the diverse processing and management workloads across its 330-person team of artists, producers, and support teams.

STEM Academy Scholars arrive on campus one week early at no added cost to begin their college careers surrounded by people who are just as excited about their areas of study as they are. In addition, STEM Academy Scholars have the ability to continue to build community with their colleagues and the university by applying to the STEM Academy Living Learning Community during the Fall and Spring semesters.
During the week-long STEM Academy, Scholars will engage in a full schedule of engaged, hands-on activities in morning (9:00-12:00), afternoon (1:45-4:45) and evening (7:00-9:30) sessions. Many sessions are scheduled in a small group setting and the schedule is filled with opportunities for personalized engagement with graduate students, peer mentors, professors and experts.
During the sessions, STEM academy scholars will work in small groups and receive personalized training to:
- Complete, analyze and communicate the results of a quantitative hands-on laboratory exercise
- Tour STEM research labs and engage with researchers
- Engage in "The Conversation of Research" with faculty, graduate students and peers
- Develop a comprehensive action plan for engaging in undergraduate research
- Enhance writing skills through reflective writing and journaling
- Learn the importance of deliberate career planning
- Create a vision statement, of a CV and a portfolio of credentials
- Develop solutions to math problems in the USF SMART lab
- Network and develop connections with peers, USF research faculty, graduate students and undergraduate researchers active in STEM fields
- Understand the pathway to graduate and medical school and various career opportunities for STEM graduates
Scholars will have the opportunity to spend lunch with an expert who will share their experiences and who are open to questions and lively discussions. After dinner, evenings sessions provide unstructured time for daily reports outs, active journaling of the days activities and engaged team-building sessions.
Connecting College to Careers, the STEM Academy introduces Scholars to various pathways to the careers they are working toward. Whether STEM Academy Scholars arrive with careers in mind or not, there are plenty of opportunities to discover careers they never heard of or knew much about before entering the program. The STEM Academy is designed to help Scholars learn about pursuing their passion, the non-linear pathway to success, the importance of research, leadership and internship experiences and how to build a network of advocates – all designed to help the Scholars develop a plan for their future at USF and beyond.
Who should apply: Any student who has been accepted to USF and is an entering freshman who has chosen to pursue a STEM degree in the College of Arts and Sciences. This includes the following majors: Biomedical Sciences (Chemistry Dept.), Cellular and Molecular Biology (CMMB Dept), Chemistry/Biochemistry, Environmental Biology (IB Dept), Environmental Microbiology (IB Dept), Environmental Sciences, Geology/Geosciences, Integrated Animal Biology (IB Dept), Marine Biology (IB Dept), Mathematics, Microbiology (CMMB Dept), Physics, and Statistics, Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. Students who will be entering into pre-calculus math courses are especially encouraged to apply. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and students who have been accepted to USF and made deposits to attend will be admitted to the STEM academy on a first come first served basis. Due to the nature of the program it is expected that the academy will reach capacity quickly.
This program is funded by a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute which plays an influential role in advancing scientific research and education in the United States. Its scientists, located across the United States, have made important discoveries that advance our fundamental understanding of biology and its relation to human disease. In a complementary program at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus in Loudoun County, Virginia, leading scientists are pursuing long-term, high-risk research in a campus designed to bring together researchers from disparate disciplines. The Institute also aims to transform science education into a creative, interdisciplinary endeavor that reflects the excitement of real research.

What's cooler than being cool? ICE COLD, or in this case a set of discontinued, ultra rare HAYASHI 961R centerlock alloy rims; CE28 and TE37 were so yesterday! We've been told by a reliable source that this is one of two sets currently rolling around in the country, IN-THE- COUNTRY....
Hayashi provides a mounting adapter that coverts the standard PCD from a 5-stud pattern to a single center spline. The wheel is mounted centrally. Pins in the inner rim face locate the wheel onto the adapter plate and helps keep the wheel permanently locked into position, no slippage here. A single 32mm wheel nut is then used to tighten everything up- hence the name Centerlock.
For extra safety measures, a spring lock pin would typically be used to stop the nut from undoing itself under load, however Hayashi has gone one step further to include an inner reverse thread into the center spline. The lock nut (middle item of the top picture) is the last piece of the puzzle. Firstly the 32mm wheel nut is fitted onto the center spline's outer clockwise thread, then followed by the lock nut which is fitted into the center spine's inner reverse thread, by having opposite threads, the two (wheel nut and lock nut) work against each other, effectively cancelling one another out and stopping any chances of the wheel flying off!
Style wise, its your classic 2pc deep dish 5 spoke race inspired alloy wheels. The face is anodized in bronze with a polish lip. Size and fitment is spot on for the S15 with an offset of 18x9 +20. To fit the wheels under the stock S15 guards a tiny amount of negative camber was dialed in via the camber tops; nothing out of the ordinary for a car that see frequent track use (no demon negative camber required here), a guard roller was used to flatten the inner lip of the guard for extra clearance and to help during heavy cornering loads. The rims are wrapped with 235/40/18 tyres; stretch is minimal, and retains a nice square tyre wall that fills the guards up nicely.
When the opportunity came up, Ben, like any other car geek, knew what these were about, and even though a brand new set of RAYS Engineering TE37 SL could of been bought for the amount he paid, he opted for these instead. The rarity and centerlock mechanism meant it was a no-brainer - our inner car geeks are super salty and probably will be for sometime.

With the end of the year upon us, inbound marketers need to boost the performance of marketing campaigns in order to achieve full, year-end growth. Using Bing as part of that strategy might not normally make marketers' lists of top choice tactics, but with a 30% market share, it's not really something you should ignore. Yesterday, we discussed 6 reasons to use Bing for paid search, and in this article, we'll provide you with 5 additional reasons why Bing is great for improving organic search results, too.
1. Improved Webmaster Tools Crawl Settings
Bing's Crawl Setting feature has been upgraded so users can set the crawl faster during peak business hours and slower during off-peak hours. There are also some useful drag-and-drop functionality improvements.
2. A Rewritten Index Explorer for SEO
Bing has completely rewritten the Index tracker backend and, among other changes, new sites will have access to Index Explorer data the moment they sign up. This update focuses on:
- Freshness
- Performance
- Extensibility
- Reduced machine footprint
- Stability and failure detection
3. Helpful Search Dashboard and Data Export Feature
The Bing Webmaster Tools dashboard contains key statistical data and chart data about your site's performance in search. Pointer icons indicate the trending and stat categories. You can also export and download the data to a .csv file.
4. User and Role Management Webmaster Tools
Often, a website has multiple contributors. One of the great features of Bing Webmaster Tools is that site owners can now grant better access to other users for their site with administrative, read and/or write, or read-only access. There is also the option of providing users with partial access to just some sections of your site, such as sub-domains or folders.
5. Self-Help Guides
New, detailed self-help guides provide how-to documents to cover a wide range of topics that go beyond how to use Bing Webmaster Tools and include recommendations on SEO, link building, redirects, and more. Visit the Bing Webmaster Tools Help Page or the Official Bing Webmaster Blog, or learn more about Bing's Webmaster Tools in this free guide.

Foundation Protection Services
Waterproofing and Yard Drainage Contractor in St Louis, MO
As trusted St Louis, MO waterproofing professionals, Foundation Protection Services is here to lend a hand. You've worked hard for what you have; let us protect it from problems like foundation settlement, a wet basement, water pooling in the yard, and soil erosion.
Consider This Before Waterproofing
Before you spend thousands of dollars for an inside waterproofing system (sump pump and breaking out the perimeter of your basement floor for a drain tile system) PLEASE give us a call! Most homes "do not" need an inside waterproofing system to solve their water problems. Also while an inside waterproof system can give you a dry basement floor it "does nothing" to protect your "foundation footing" from soil erosion that can result in serious problems (foundation settlement, wall push, and floor heave). It is "very important" to do everything you can to resolve your water problems (hydrostatic pressure) from the outside of your home FIRST.
We have had years of experience in the foundation repair business. Almost every customer we meet, with foundation problems, could have avoided them if they only would have known how important it is to get rainwater to drain AWAY from their foundation, porch, patio, and driveway.
Solving rainwater problems (hydrostatic pressure) is "simple and affordable". It can usually be done by installing French drains, downspout extensions, and other inexpensive solutions.
All of our work is done correctly with solid PVC drain pipe. No black corrugated pipe is used (this pipe will crack and clog with mud over time)
We take the time to educate our customers and help them understand what is causing their particular problem and what their options are to getting it fixed "correctly".
When you need quality installation or repair work, look no further than Foundation Protection Services. As a skilled, licensed, and insured general contractor in St Louis, MO, Foundation Protection Services is at your service for projects large and small. From quick household fixes to major property renovations, Foundation Protection Services provides thorough, efficient service every step of the way. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the end results.
Save Yourself the Hassle
Even if you're relatively handy, certain installation and repair projects require tools and skills that you simply may not have. Why risk injury or property damage when a general contractor like Foundation Protection Services can help? One call to Foundation Protection Services can save you time, aggravation, and in many cases, money. And when you work with Foundation Protection Services, you'll get the benefit of:
- Reasonable rates
- Prompt, reliable service
- Quality workmanship
Call today to learn more about the advantages of hiring a general contractor like Foundation Protection Services or to schedule an estimate.

"Approximate Location" (tentative title!) is a new work that will be presented by darlingdance company at the Eureka Dance Festival in DC. I'm creating a 15-minute work with 6 dancers, studying the concept of proximity and its many forms as a basis for movement inspiration. I am interested in how our movement changes and what our bodies feel when we are incredibly close or far from something, tangible or intangible. I use choreology-based tasks and Rudolf Laban's effort theories to explore this concept with my dancers. We hope to change the face of dance in DC and bring back the experimental vibe of the Judson Church era and pioneers like Trisha Brown.

Both the chief executive officer and the chairman of the board of Freddie Mac are stepping down within the next few months, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) said late Wednesday.
Charles E. Haldeman Jr., Freddie's CEO, has told the government-sponsored enterprise's board that he would like to leave "some time in the coming year," FHFA said. Separately, John Koskinen, Freddie's chairman, has reached the company's mandatory retirement age and will step down at the end of his term in February 2012, the agency said.
Christopher Lynch, another board director and currently chairman of Freddie's audit committee, will assume the chair of the enterprise at the December 2011 board meeting, according to FHFA. Lynch was named to the board in 2008 after previously serving as national partner in charge of KPMG's financial services division. Lynch was also named as a board director to AIG after it received a government bailout.
FHFA also announced two other imminent departures. Another board director, Robert Glauber, has also reached retirement age and is expected to step down shortly while Laurence E. Hirsch, who is also on Freddie's board, said he would not seek re-election when his current term expires.
Haldeman has said he will stay on as CEO until his successor has been chosen, a process that is expected to begin shortly.
"Ed Haldeman has brought strong leadership to Freddie Mac," said Acting FHFA Director Ed DeMarco in a press release. "I appreciate his commitment to leadership stability during the upcoming transition."
Haldeman joined Freddie in 2009 after serving as chairman of Putnam Investment Management. He is the third CEO of Freddie since it was seized by the government in September 2008.
Koskinen has served as non-executive chairman of Freddie since that time, briefly serving as CEO in 2009. Previously, Koskinen was president of the U.S. Soccer Foundation for four years.

|Statement of the Problem: The ability to fold into distinct three-dimensional structures is the basis of high affinity and specificity characteristic of aptamer binding to their targets. We have recently introduced base modifications that increase chemical diversity of functional groups front-loaded in randomized nucleic acid libraries from which aptamers are selected. Such modifications have allowed us to identify high-affinity aptamers to many protein targets previously considered "difficult" with conventional nucleic acid libraries. At the same time, our ability to predict the structures of modified aptamers with conventional nucleic acid folding rules was severely compromised, suggesting new rules for folding. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: We examined, published structures of sixteen aptamers co-crystallized with their protein targets, including three aptamers with base modifications we reported recently. Findings: In contrast to small molecules, which are entirely encaged by aptamers, proteins present large surfaces with distinct features that are recognized by complementary surfaces on aptamers. The size of these interaction surfaces is comparable to those observed with antibodies, although for aptamers, the size range is wider on both small and large extremes. The highly flexible phosphodiester backbone allows assembly of known as well as novel nucleic acid motifs into precise three-dimensional structures that orient often discontiguous aptamer regions toward their protein targets in a manner that creates surfaces with exquisite shape complementarity. Base modifications with hydrophobic side chains allow occupancy of distinctly hydrophobic pockets on proteins and create novel structural elements that illustrate the profound role modified nucleotides play in both folding and binding. Conclusion & Significance: These observations provide compelling structural rationale for the observed high affinity and specificity with which aptamers recognize their protein targets, and show us that the lexicon of structural features accessible to nucleic acid ligands can be vastly expanded with chemical modifications of nucleic acid libraries.
Nebojsa Janjic has been Chief Science Officer at SomaLogic, Inc. since January 2009. Prior to joining SomaLogic, he was a Founder and CSO at Replidyne, Inc., a Biotechnology company focusing on the development of new small-molecule antibacterial agents. Prior to Replidyne, he was Senior Director of drug discovery at NeXstar Pharmaceuticals, where his contributions include the discovery and early development of Macugen, the first aptamer to receive FDA approval and the first VEGF inhibitor developed for the treatment for macular degeneration. As CSO at SomaLogic, he is involved in developing a new generation of modified aptamers and identifying opportunities for their use in science and medicine. He has received his Bachelor's degree in Molecular Biology and PhD in Physical Organic Chemistry from the University of Washington in Seattle and completed his Postdoctoral training at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla as a Cancer Research Institute Fellow.

|With health care expenditures soaring, there is increasing interest in workplace-based disease prevention and health promotion as a means of improving health while lowering costs. We conduct a critical meta-analysis of the literature on costs and savings associated such programs, focusing on studies with particularly rigorous methods and examining effects on health care costs and absenteeism. We find that medical costs fall about $3.27 for every dollar spent on wellness programs, and absentee day costs fall by about $2.73 for every dollar spent. This average return on investment suggests that the wider adoption of such programs could prove beneficial for budgets and productivity as well as health outcomes.

text: I hope this is the right place to ask this. I used to use an M3, but now i use A cycloDS with the EZ flash 3-in-1. What I want to do is is load up my game in Visualboy Advance and do whatever codebreaker cheating i wish there and then save my game. For instance, I was playing Final Fantasy 6 and i used a codebreaker cheat to give my character all items. After I saved at the save point, I quit the game and wanted to slide that battery sav file to my GBA_SAVE folder and use it with the card. The difference is that the VBA save size is 64KB and the card save size is 32KB. Is there any way of converting it? I would have asked this on the cyclods forum but it's hell trying to register on their forums.


text: As I mentioned before that triple X is one type of oral substance that is comprised of 4 different types of powerful steroids and those are Dianabol, Anapalon, Anabolic booste and Winstrol. Each triple X tablet available in 40 mg dosage and every 40 mg tablet contain 10 mg of Dianabol, 10 mg of Anapalon, 10 mg of Anabolic booste and 10 mg of Winstrol. Since this substance is the mixture of 4 powerful steroids, users can get best and quick results from this substance. This substance provide huge muscle mass, strong bones and hard muscles, and very strong and powerful body. Again, this substance acts as a very efficient fat burner. For these qualities, many people take this substance. The recommended dosage of this substance is 1 tablet per day and users can take this substance up to 8 weeks. And remember that since this substance is the blend of 4 powerful substances so users should take PCT up to 1 month after ending this cycle.
