Not to be out-whined by the "We are the 99 percent" complaints, journalists are now venting online about how hard they have things, too. A new Tumblr page called "We Are Journalists" is a collection of photos and self profiles of media types "tired of bad press about the press."
In a little mini-rant on the main page, they complain: "We would like to produce quality work without 'obamasux99' posting some non-sequitur rant at the end of it. We complain because we want things to be better. We would like some respect, plz. We are journalists."
According to Steve Myers, the managing editor of Poynter.org, "the first several posts are from St. Pete Times journalists." That is obvious from at least one of the photos, which shows the press pass of Justin George. He laments how hard he has it, especially pay. "I know I could make a mint doing something else but would it make the same difference?"
Another, photographed in front of a booth with a Tampa Bay Times logo, lists some of her big complaints as financial. "I pay for my journalism degree $95.87 each month. I've written checks for gas. I've overdrawn my account on coffee more than once." But it's more than that, she adds. "Total strangers call me names I wouldn't call a baby killer." That degree costs just $1,150.44 per year, hardly covering books at most colleges.
That poverty theme crops up in other profiles too. This one is beneath a photo of a young woman typing on an old-fashioned typewriter, with framed newspaper pages hanging on a nearby wall.
"I am a reasonably intelligent college graduate who was never very good at math. I make a proud living as a watchdog, an entertainer and a recorder of history. I drive a 12-year-old car with 170,000 miles on it and am praying it gets me through another year without an expensive repair. I have no debt, other than a relatively low mortgage payment. I look for BOGO sales at the grocery store and the majority of my clothing is purchased by my mother. I carefully time when I shave my legs because razor cartridges are $14 a box. I hope one day someone leaves me a bunch of money because Lord knows I'll never get rich on my own.
I am a newspaper reporter."
A new post from an editorial intern complains: "I can fit everything I own into my two-door Honda Civic. I eat a lot of peanut butter and jelly."
Journalists complaining in ways similar to Occupy Wall Street is unsurprising. Two separate news unions, including the newspaper guild, the recognized union for many print and online journalists, and the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) are fully behind the radical message of Occupy Wall Street. Both guilds have formally endorsed the protests.

IBM and Oracle Should Rip These Pages From Apple's Playbook
What can enterprise software giants such as Oracle and IBM learn from consumer-product specialists such as Apple ? Plenty, according to TIBCO Software COO Murray Rode.
I spoke to Rode at last week's TUCON conference, and the conversation turned to TIBCO's R&D focus. The company is known for its solid engineering core, producing high-speed data analysis tools that IBM and Oracle have been trying to copy for years without much success. But as it turns out, a high-performance product isn't enough these days. Rode explained that a newfound focus on user-friendly interfaces has unlocked whole new vistas for TIBCO.
"How do you decide whether to spend more R&D dollars on the user experience versus the core engine?" he mused. "The reality is, we have to do both. Today, you have to have a product that's both usable and, we think, high-performance."
In other words, a touch of Apple's usability focus can do wonders for the incredibly complex products that are sold as enterprise-grade business tools. "How do you make your products easier to install, easier to manage, easier to use? How do you create a more engaging customer experience for the developer or the user of our products?" These are the new questions on Murray Rode's mind.
If that doesn't sound like a touch of Apple inspiration, I don't know what is. That's exactly how Apple converts customers to raving fans -- make it simple, make it engaging, make it indispensable.
What the competition can learn from Murray Rode
IBM's WebSphere suite is a fantastically powerful set of tools, but it was never easy to understand. Oracle's product catalog is even more complicated, cobbled together from a long series of big-ticket acquisitions. TIBCO currently wins a lot of its head-to-head bids against both companies thanks to the combination of high power and relatively simple operation. There's still more work to do, of course, but TIBCO has a usability head start on the competition.
TIBCO still places a heavy emphasis on quality engineering, but Rode must strike a balance between that and user interfaces when working out budgets and manpower schedules.
"I think we're gonna have to continue to kind of strike a balance between the two," he said. Oracle and IBM would be also well advised to pay more attention to these questions.
TIBCO isn't the only tech company riding this strategy
One incredible tech stock with a laser-like focus on the user experience is growing more than three times as fast as Apple.

One issue that repeatedly comes up is whether an employer may adopt a "use it or lose it" vacation day policy. This usually takes the form of a policy by which the employer states that for each year worked, employees a certain number of days of paid vacation. Sometimes, the employer builds into that policy a statement that vacation days which have accrued, but which have not been used by the end of the calendar year, will be forfeited. This is against the law: Vacation days that you have accrued are days that have been earned and are part of your compensation. They are, therefore, wages, as defined by Labor Code section 200. To compel a worker to give up a vacation day is the same, in the eyes of the law, as forcing a worker to repay wages to his or her employer. Apart from being unfair, this is effectively a garnishment of wages without judicial process which is in violation not only of the spirit of the entire Labor Code, but also specifically violates Code of Civil Procedure section 487.020(c). See also Phillips v. Gemini Moving Specialists (1998) 63 Cal.App.4th 563, 572. : Suastez v. Plastic Dress-Up Co. (1982) 31 Cal.3d 774, 779 (vacation pay is simply a form of deferred compensation). In sum, "use it or lose it" policies are illegal.
That being said, an employer is not obligated to provide vacation days as part of a compensation agreement. When an employee and employer enter into an employment relationship, an agreement arises: the employee will perform services in the future in exchange for compensation. If vacation days are offered as part of that compensation package, they may not be withheld. However, some employers do not offer vacation pay as part of their package of benefits. This is not unlawful, but is rare, as it almost guarantees a very high turnover of personnel. Vacation includes "floating vacation days," as well as personal time off (PTO). Also, an employer may "cap" the amount of accrued vacation days so long as the extra days accrued are "bought out" by the employer in lieu of providing a day off


text: Brand MarketingOMD Wins $180 Million Tourism AustraliaReplaces CaratBy Noreen O'Leary|June 15, 2011 ShareBy Noreen O'Leary|June 15, 2011 Share OMD has won the global media account for Tourism Australia, beating incumbent Carat for a three-year contract with global spending worth around $180 million. (NOTE: That amount is in U.S. currency.) In addition to the Aegis-owned Carat, which has worked on the business for the past six years, Omnicom's OMD competed against other agencies like WPP's MediaCom and Publicis Groupe's ZenithOptimedia. OMD, which begins work on July 1, has a contract that runs for three years with an option to extend it for two additional 12-month periods. Australia recently launched the 2020 Tourism Industry Potential, an initiative aimed at increasing tourism in a country where it is the largest services export earner and provides nearly a half-million jobs. The Australian government estimates tourism contributes A$34 billion in gross domestic product or 2.6 percent of the country's total GDP. Carat helped to roll out the country's current global brand campaign, There's nothing like Australia. The loss for Carat comes less than a year after it was aligned with Mitchell Media Communications Group, Australia's largest media buyer which was purchased by Aegis.

Despite a multi-billion dollar war on gangs over the past 25 years, Los Angeles is home to an estimated 700 gangs and 40,000 gang members. The detrimental impact of gang violence has disproportionately affected low-income, minority communities and increased the need for specialized programs and services for these neighborhoods.
Dr. Gary Slutkin, founder of Chicago's award winning violence interruption model, "Ceasefire", reached the conclusion that "the work of stemming gang violence requires people with street credibility, fluency in gang and prison culture, and authenticity to speak about conditions that gang members and ex-offenders face."
Past intervention programs focused specifically on reducing violence within gang sets, in contrast to current programs that focus on engaging at the individual, group and community level with the goal of building neighborhood cohesion and sustainability.
These new models of community based intervention transform the role of the "gang interventionist" to one a "Community Intervention Worker". By definition this role requires that the interventionist have the ability to recognize, diffuse, and mediate a crisis as well as be able to effectively collaborate with local law enforcement, social service providers and community stakeholders.
P.C.I.T.I. provides a multi-level infrastructure that addresses a variety of identified gaps in social services. A key component of this program is to identify and rehabilitate anti-social beliefs of the target population; including gang violence, domestic abuse, school-based challenges, family dysfunction, aggressive hostility, and low self-esteem, just to name a few.
The program has been introduced to over 50 cities around the world, and LAPD Chief Gannon credits P.C.I.T.I. with significantly reducing the murder rates in the Los Angeles communities that have adopted it.

Lighting by Room
"If a room is lit the right way, everyone looks their best and feels relaxed and comfortable, but they don't know why," says Lindsey Adelman, a New York–based industrial designer who specializes in light fixtures. Each room in your home has very different lighting requirements and needs determined by the activities performed there. Learn how to achieve the perfect balance of lighting in your home with these helpful tips.
Whether you're greeting guests or returning home after a long day, the foyer is a welcoming space that conveys the first statement of your lighting style – sometimes before you've even reached the front door. When an exterior window gives a view into a two-story foyer, be sure that the hanging fixture is centered and scaled to the frame of the window. Matching sconces or portable lamps can be used to flank mirrors or other areas of visual interest and provide an additional layer of ambient light for a pleasant arrival.
Living Room
As the social and recreational center of the home, living and family rooms have substantial and varied lighting requirements. To meet these different needs, three to four layers of lighting should be used. Entertaining guests calls for a special lighting scheme that creates intimate ambiance. Consider different types of task lighting, both up and downlighting, throughout the space. A chandelier or other decorative fixture centered above the conversation area can supply the room with ambient light, while wall sconces placed around the room can introduce a layer of soft lighting to guests' faces. When it's time to sit back and relax, reading is facilitated by table and floor lamps. Accent lighting can shed light on a prized possession or area of visual interest, while specialty picture lights can brighten uppaintings and other wall art.
When lighting a bedroom, you should create an overall atmosphere of quiet relaxation. While a flush mount ceiling fixture and two bedside lamps still define standard bedroom lighting, thoughtful planning can recast the space in a different light. Consider scale. Chandeliers and larger-scale pendants can make high ceilings feel more intimate, while semi-flush mounts add a decorative element to vertically limited spaces. Decide on task areas and task lighting for activities such as bedside reading. Swing-arm wall sconces or a pair of small pendants can serve the same purpose as portables while freeing up nightstand space. You can also hang pendants next to the bed or install recessed downlights above – just be sure not to install them directly above the sleeping area.
As hubs of household activity, kitchens demand layered lighting from a variety of sources. Strong overhead lighting is necessary for general illumination and can be attractively accomplished with a larger-scale flush mount fixture. Traditional cooking and cleaning areas, such as island counters, require focused task lighting from pendants or island fixtures. Breakfast nooks can be lit with a single glass globe, a decorative pendant, or even a cluster of smaller pendants hung at varying heights for maximum visual impact. A wall sconce or two can provide additional ambient light, focused in the eating area. Accent lighting, including undercabinet lighting, is the least common layer but is becoming a bigger influence in creating the final look.
Whether you're paying bills or writing your next novel, a well-lit workspace is essential for getting the job done. Pendants, flush mounts and recessed fixtures can provide excellent ambient lighting for working but should not be so bright as to create glare off your computer screen. Keeping overhead and recessed lights along the room's perimeter can also help avoid working under direct glare. Close-in work demands specific task lighting from portable desk lamps, floor lamps or pendants installed over the work area.
While flush mounts are still considered standard for ambient bathroom lighting, pendants and small chandeliers can add touches of unexpected elegance and reinvent the utilitarian space. When it comes to the vanity, the best mirror lighting surrounds the face with even light to minimize shadows and avoid glare. Shower stalls require additional overhead lighting, which must be UL rated for wet locations, while standalone tubs and whirlpools can be surrounded by sconces to create effective ambiance.
Dining Room
Decorative lighting reaches its apex in the dining room. Serving as the room's artistic focal point, a chandelier traditionally illuminates the dining table. However, to avoid glare, limit chandeliers to 100 watts with the right bulbs and use indirect lighting elsewhere. Longer tables may be illuminated by a pair of smaller chandeliers or formidable pendants for a grand effect. Sideboards and buffets can be flanked by sconces for accent lighting as well.
Make the table the brightest spot in the room to draw people in.

My Brickshelf folder contains more stuff than I'll ever get around to describing here. Shame really, but I'd rather build it than write about it. However, I do a lot of building in LDraw/MLCAD so you will find a lot of plans for the stuff I build there (its a side-effect of commuting by train with a laptop - virtual bricks are a lot easier to carry than real ones!)

Ship Detention Master Class by ISS Port Manager
Harry Corkerry, Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) Port Manager at Tilbury, UK, delivers a master class in handling a detained ship - a situation encountered by most agents at some point.
ISS Thames explains that it recently received a request to provide shipping agency services to a vessel that had been placed under detention by UK Port State Control. The detention order was placed on the vessel on account of an extensive list of deficiencies that had been identified.
It is important to note that whenever conducting business of this kind, and with companies the agency has no inside knowledge of, it is essential to bear in mind the financial risks involved.
A decision was made by Guy Lear, UK General Manager, to accept this agency appointment. It was agreed that the vessel would be moved inside a dock secured by lock gates to ensure she had no way of departing of her own accord, and additionally that the principal had agreed to full pre-payment terms prior to vessel's departure and any suppliers would not be paid until ISS had received the required funds.
Once the vessel was in position, where she remained for some weeks, the costs against the operation began to rise dramatically, as expected. In the space of three weeks ISS's initial proforma disbursement account had gone from £20,000 to around £123,000.
In summary, say ISS, these types of operations can be extremely costly and as port agents it is very important to control costs and make adequate arrangements with the principal to ensure funding is in place as without this, the agency's exposure can quickly get out of control.
The vessel has since sailed and the disbursement account has been settled. Whilst handling detained vessels comes with its risks, if managed properly these can be very profitable engagements

How often do you venture out to try a meal in the heart of old Dubai? Probably not that often, right? It's not that you don't want to, it just that you have no idea where to go. The streets are lined with restaurants but for some reason, you look at them with a bit of skepticism saying "I'm not sure...?"
Sometimes, whether you are a tourist or a local resident, you just need a little push from the right people to give things a try. Frying Pan Adventures was just that push my family and I needed to try some of the food and culture deliciousness in one of the oldest parts of our city. What a unique experience in Dubai!
On a hot summer night, we ventured off to one of my favourite parts of the city, Old Dubai, for a food adventure we will not forget. My kids are typically less excited about this area of Dubai, preferring the shinner modern side of the city. But once they found out large amounts of food were going to be involved, they were game! The tour consists of a 4.5 hr guided walking tour to different restaurants in the older part of the city, sampling and learning about a variety of Middle Eastern cuisine. A word of advice, pace yourself at each restaurant, you are in for a marathon food adventure!
How do you start off a food tour of middle eastern cuisine? By visiting the local falafel house of course. Sultan Dubai Falafel is a bustling little shop located on a very busy corner in old Dubai. It is probably safe to say that sadly, it is one that I probably never would have ventured into on my own. And what a miss that would have been for me because this little shop made me realize one thing...all falafel are not created equal! This restaurant makes hands down, the absolute best falafel around. Seriously, they are that good. And like most of the places in old Dubai, the people working are full of personality and hospitality. A very entertaining visit.
Next up was Musakhan. This is a Palestinian chicken pie with onions, sumac, and olive oil, and then topped with a shredded rotisserie chicken. It has more of an appearance of a pizza than a pie. The owner of the restaurant makes a visit to the table and shows his mastery skills of shredding a whole roatiserrie chicken in a matter of seconds. Definitly a fun display to watch. For half of our group, this was their favourite stop. I think partly because of the professional chicken shredding show!
After sitting outside and enjoying our Falafel and Musakhan, we ventured inside to watch the art of making Kunafa. We were lucky enough to get to visit the kitchen (which is an interesting experience in itself) to see this unique dessert being made. Kunafa is a very popular traditional sweet dish in the Middle East made of noodles, cheese, large amounts of ghee, and saturated in syrup. Needless to say, this is not a light dessert, but a delicious, rich one too enjoy without thinking of the consequences :-) The oldest teen on the tour really enjoyed this stop, having multiple servings, much to the delight of the chef. Like in the previous two stops, the chef making the Kunafa was very entertaining.
After our Kunafa demonstration and tasting, we were able to browse the shop to have a look at all the other deliciousness it had to offer. Huge steel drums hosted the biggest metal trays you have ever seen. All filled with a variety of handmade small pastries. The smell was divine.
Gahwa, Ma'amoul Madh, and Natef
To slow things down and give our stomachs a chance to recover, we went for a cup of Gahwa. Gahwa is Arabic coffee made with cardamom. Arabic coffee cups are unique compared to the traditional western coffee mug. An Arabic coffee cup is a small handless cup made of porcelain and typically painted with distinct Arabic designs. The coffee was served with individually wrapped small cookies. Arabic coffee and cookies are always served to guests in these pretty cups and beautiful teapots making a very impressive presentation. To add to the experience we were able to try something that we most probably would never have had the opportunity to try elsewhere, Natef. Natef is a meringue-like cream made from the roots of the soapwort plant. That's right, soapwort plant. It is used to dip your cookies in while enjoying your coffee. It had an interesting texture and taste, to say the least!
The boys loved browsing the shelves of the store eyeing all the delicious middle eastern treats. To their delight, they were given many samples.
Feteer with Basturma
Feteer is an Egyptian dish of layered pastry, fire baked to form a bread that is almost like pizza. It is covered in mozzarella cheese and an aged Egyptian cheese called roomi. Basturma (beef pastrami) is spread across the top. It is served with a dish of spicy Shatta sauce to dip your feteer into. This was a great late night snack.
Shorbat Adas, Laham Madfoon, Bukhari Rice, and Daqoos
The last big meal on our tour was an Emirati feast served the traditional way, sitting crossed legged under a majlis (Arabic style tent) and ate with only our hands (no utensils.) After living in the Middle East for a number of years now, this was not a strange concept for our family but it is also not a regular occurrence for us either. Our meal started with a delicious bowl of Shorbat Adas (lentil soup) which my youngest son devoured and was followed by the main course of Laham Madfoon (goat.) The goat was served with rice and yogurt which was to be mixed together to help form a ball making it easier to pick up with your fingers. Daqoos (spicy tomato and green chilly sauce) is poured overtop to give it an extra kick. This was a fun stop on the tour that will push most westerners outside their comfort zone. Go for it!
Faloodeh and Saffron Ice Cream
Last but not least we made our final stop at an Iranian treat shop for Faloodeh (icy noodles sweetened with rose water and lemon juice) topped with a generous scoop of saffron ice cream. It may not sound as appetizing a taste to the more traditional vanilla and chocolate ice cream but it was delicious. Especially at the end of an extremely hot evening, with our stomachs close to bursting.
More Than a Food Tour
Dubai is a city full of contrasts. From the shiny, unimaginable, state of the art attractions in the new part of the city to the traditional, rich in Middle Eastern culture, hustle and bustle of the old part of the city. While I love the cutting edge side of new Dubai, I REALLY love to get lost in the grind of Old Dubai. When you cross over between the two worlds you really feel like you have gone on a journey to somewhere new. The Frying Pan Adventure allows you to see this side of Dubai through many of their food adventures. It really is a beautiful experience. Step outside your routine and become a tourist in your own city. On this food adventure you will definitely enjoy more than just the food!
I Love Street Life!
And amongst all the hustle and bustle, cars racing by, heat, sidewalks full of people, you can turn the corner and in an instant find the most calming surrounding. People quietly walking under the streetlights with the peaceful minarets casting out their beautiful ambre glow. The perfect image to end our epic food adventure in Old Dubai.

We check our prices daily against a wide range of competitors to try to bring you the best deal. However, if you've spotted a better price offered by one of our competitors, please let us know and we'll do our very best to match it.Price Match Challenge
The IT sector is littered with companies who don't hold stock. Their websites advertise products that are sourced from third party suppliers. Pricing and availability data on such sites is typically retrieved from files or feeds which are often not refreshed regularly enough. The result? Cancelled orders, long lead times and disgruntled customers.
Evaris is a major stockholder with full transparency into our stockholding and pricing. Our website is refreshed on a 15-minute cycle 24/7 so the pricing and availability you see online is both accurate and reliable.
We recommend you double check a cheaper price elsewhere is accurate and based on physical stock that can be shipped immediately before placing your order.
We show true stock counts on our website, not woolly messages like 'in stock' or 'available to order'. Stock levels are updated every 15 minutes 24/7 so you can see exactly how many units we have sat in our warehouse available for immediate despatch.
And speaking of shipping, did you know we offer same day deliveries? You can choose this or other timed services during checkout on our website or contact our sales team for a quote. Handy when you need the goods in a hurry!
Most web stores fail to specify the stock condition of the products they advertise for sale. It seems reasonable to assume that all products are brand new, unused units supplied in the sealed, original manufacturer packaging and protected by the full warranty but this isn't always the case.
A heavily discounted price can be a sign that the product in question may be a used or refurbished unit. Open/damaged box and 'ex demo' units are also rife in the marketplace and warranty cover on such goods will be variable so it's wise to check what you're getting before committing to any purchase.
Evaris displays the product condition on all our product pages. As well as detailing what the condition means, we specify the level of warranty condition allowing you to make an informed buying decision.
Ensure you compare like for like when shopping around for prices online.
All brand new products come with a full manufacturer warranty, right? Not always; it depends where the products were sourced from. You may have heard of the grey market or parallel imports? Manufacturers often stipulate the geographical regions in which their products are designated for sale. Unscrupulous suppliers seek to source goods from outside of these regions at cheaper costs which they pass on via cheaper prices. The downside is that the manufacturer might not honour the warranty in the event of a support call. Grey kit does not qualify for warranty support and if it fails, you could be significantly out of pocket.
All products offered for sale at Evaris are sourced from legitimate channels and are covered by warranty. For added peace of mind, we can supply serial numbers up front which can be validated on the manufacturer's website to ensure warranty cover is in place prior to purchase.
Ask any potential supplier if they can supply serial numbers ahead of purchase. Any legitimate stockholder who has sourced the goods from the proper channels should be able and happy to do so.
Look beyond the price and establish whether the company behind the product is a bona fide organisation that you can return to should you encounter issues down the line. This is particularly important if you've never heard of them before. It's relatively easy to set up a web shop nowadays which makes it difficult to differentiate between a one-man band operating out of a home office and a well-established, reputable bricks and mortar business. Sales T&Cs, returns policy and aftercare service are probably important areas for you to consider.
Evaris is an ISO 9001 certified company committed to supplying products and services that consistently meet our customers' requirements and expectations. We are a Feefo Commended Merchant thanks to our consistently high customer service scores gathered independently from genuine purchase verified customers. We build long standing relationships with organisations of all types and sizes; take a look at our case studies for examples of projects we've worked on in both the private and public sector.

Mindmatters Therapy works with
clients through a computer connection in some instances. If appropriate this will be discussed
thoroughly at an early stage. Apple Mac computers and some other Apple devices have a built-in application
called Facetime which serves this purpose. Skype is also available for many different computers
and mobile devices, and the rest of this page describes how to set this up. Because of the very
wide range of possible equipment, this can only be a general guide.
The Skype software
Other necessary items
Skype is completely free for use between one Skype installation and
another. Calls can also be made to land-lines or mobile numbers, for which a small charge will be
made. Mindmatters Therapy receives no part of this charge.
The Skype web site contains all price details for these calls.
The options menu has a number of settings relating to online privacy,
such as selections for how publicly visible your profile is. It is recommended that you check
these settings and ensure that you are happy with them.
During installation, Skype will automatically detect any audio and
visual components attached to your system and register them. There is a short process of
calibrating the microphone and any speakers or headphones to ensure the volume levels are
correct. This can be repeated at later times, for example if you buy new equipment or change
the room in which you use the computer.
Both for technical and therapeutic reasons, it is strongly recommended
that you use your Skype system in a room where you can be sure of privacy and low levels of
background noise, and where there is a good level of natural or artificial light. The Skype
Options dialog allows you to see the quality of image the other person will see, and it is well
worth checking that the light is good enough that you can see the image of your face clearly
in the test panel.
To locate Skype users once the software has been downloaded and
installed, click the "Add a Contact…" link under the Contacts menu. This provides a very
comprehensive set of search options, and is the easiest way to locate other Skype users. If
together we decide that Skype is a suitable therapy option, you will be told the Mindmatters
Therapy Skype account details and can then add Mindmatters Therapy as one of your contacts. When
you do this, Skype will then send an email request to Mindmatters Therapy which must be
confirmed by Mindmatters Therapy before the link between the two Skype accounts is accepted.
Once this has been done, Mindmatters Therapy will appear in your contacts list.
The Skype application is basically very simple to use, but there are
a great many settings that can be modified, largely to protect online privacy. It is strongly
recommended that you familiarise yourself with how to use the Skype system with family or
friends before using it for the first time for therapeutic reasons.

An Explanation for How Calcium Channel Blockers Prevent Angi
January 23rd, 2006
A patient was prescribed a calcium channel blocker to prevent angina, by decreasing the demand for oxygen. Could you please explain why?

High Blood Pressure, Hypertension, High Cholesterol Answer A
Calcium channel blockers (nifedipine, verapamil and diltiazem) together with organic nitrates and beta-blockers are used for angina pectoris therapy. Calcium antagonists act on angina pectoris in 3 ways. First, they cause VASODOLATATION of all periphery arteries which decreases the peripheral vascular resistance and the heartâs after-load. They also cause vasodilatation of the coronary arteries which provide better blood (and oxygen) supply to the heart. Second, they DECREASE HEART RATE and third, they DECREASE HEART MUSCLE CONTRACTION. These combined effects decrease the heartâs demand for oxygen.

These days, college diplomas and student debt seem to go hand in hand. With tuition prices continuing to rise, students often have no choice but to take out loans in order to fund their educations. In fact, according to recent data, approximately 69% of 2013 graduatesborrowed money to pay for college, racking up an average debt pile of $28,400.
Here's the troubling piece of that puzzle though: A good 19% of 2013 graduates who took out student loans borrowed money from private lenders, as opposed to taking out federal loans. Of course, most people who wind up taking out private loans don't do so because that's their first choice. Often, those who borrow from private lenders don't receive enough in federal aid to finance their educations and therefore have no choice but to seek out an alternate means of paying for college. But borrowing money from private lenders can be a scary prospect.
Interest Rates
Federal loans have their interest rates regulated so that there are no surprises for those who borrow money from the government to attend college. Private loans work different. With private loans, interest rates can vary from month to month based on market conditions. What this means is that someone who takes out a private loan might start out with a low rate, but over time, that rate can climb, resulting in high, unaffordable monthly payments.
No Protection
Federal loans come with a certain degree of protection. Those who take out federal loans and become disabled or unemployed, for example, may become eligible to have their loan payments deferred. Those who borrow from private lenders, by contrast, generally don't have that option, even in the face of documented financial distress.
Furthermore, those who borrow from private lenders can pretty much forget about having their loans forgiven. Federal loans, on the other hand, offer those who enter certain professions, such as teaching, the chance to eliminate some of their loans. Additionally, federal loans tend to come with more flexible repayment policies than private loans. Private lenders don't usually offer income-based repayment plans.
Seeking Alternatives
If you're unable to fund your college education in full via federal loans, you may want to consider a few alternatives before turning to private lenders. For instance, you might consider deferring enrollment for a year and working full-time to pay for tuition. You might also decide to spend a year or two at community college, where you can knock out some required classes at a much lower price point than what a private college is likely to charge, and then finish up your degree at the school of your choice. Finally, you can try working part-time during college to help pay those tuition bills.
If you wind up having no choice but to take out private loans to pay for college, you'd be wise to try paying them off as quickly as possible once you graduate. It may take some discipline and some serious savings, but the sooner you eliminate them, the better off you'll be financially.

Banana Diet – Delicious and Easy Way to Lose Weight
Banana diet is one of the easiest and therewith delicious ways to lose weight. Due to natural sugar that bananas contain, banana diet can easily help to depress appetite, so if you want to lose some extra pounds effortlessly, find out our banana diet tips.
Banana wonderfully combine its pleasant taste with healthful properties. Banana is the greatest remedy for curing gastrointestinal tract diseases; moreover this exotic fruit is rich in vitamins, microelements, dietary fiber and natural sugar. As you know all these substances are essential for normal work of our organism. Despite its calorie content, banana is considered to be dietary, as it contains little fat.
Choose one of two banana dieting variants:
Banana Diet (Variant #1)
Here bananas are combined with milk or yogurt that gives the possibility to evacuate the stomach. This type of banana diet lasts for 3-4 days and helps to lose up to 10 pounds. The daily ration should include 3 bananas and as many glasses of milk. Plan your meals for the whole day and drink green tea or clear water between your food intakes.
Banana Diet (Variant #2)
Another variant of banana diet lasts longer, up to 7 days. You can eat bananas at any time during the day but no more than 10 bananas a day. Green tea and water is also allowed. Your organism would get only 1300 kilocalories, that's why long-term dieting can lead to protein lack, thus your ration should be supplemented with pair of boiled eggs.
So both dieting variants would provide your organism with potassium that is so wholesome for heart activity. And the only disadvantage of any monodiet is that women often forget about limits when dieting plan is over and begin to garbage down almost everything and it surely leads to gaining even more extra pounds. Therefore I'd like to remind you that switching over to your usual ration should be gradual.
Nevertheless banana diet advantages are absolutely obvious. Besides body detoxification you would boost your metabolism rate and therefore become slender and healthier.

Understanding what has worked in other places is a valuable and powerful tool to help inspire new projects. West Oxford District Council's Phil Shaw kindly agreed to give a presentation on how new development can be harnessed to deliver a catalysis for economic regeneration. The Marriotts Walk scheme has many features that are regarded as best practice for urban designers, such as a mix of uses including residential, well connected and enjoyable public routes, open spaces and good design detail.
The scheme has helped Witney compete with neighbouring towns, and since opening the town has seen a 15% increase in trade across the whole area. All traders have benefited, and the development has been an unmitigated success story. You can see Phil's presentation below:

By Megan Wild, author of Your Wild Home blog
If you're planning to buy or sell a house in the near future, you will likely be working with a real estate agent. Before you decide to work with them, you need to ask prospective real estate agents a few questions. It's best to ask these questions of at least three prospects. Their answers will help you make sure the agent you work with is experienced, professional and has availability and a working style compatible with yours.
Here are some common questions to help you choose the right real estate agent for you.
How Long Have You Been a Real Estate Agent?
There's no substitute for experience. You want someone who knows how to buy and sell houses and has done so many times. If you hire a rookie, they are going to be learning on your dime. If you do talk to an inexperienced real estate agent and like them, make sure they are working closely with a more senior person.
How Familiar Are You With the Neighborhood?
A good real estate agent should be able to reel off facts and figures about the neighborhood in which you'll be looking. School districts, community organizations, even crime statistics and the nearest fire department should be among the information they don't have to look up. Plus, a real estate agent who is familiar with the neighborhood will know how fast and for what price the homes are moving. They might even have the inside track on homes that haven't been listed yet.
Do You Work Full or Part Time?
It's important to know whether your agent is full or part time, for several reasons. First, if you have a very busy work schedule, it might be tough for a part-time real estate agent to be flexible enough to see homes on hours convenient for you. If you do decide to use a part-timer, ask what hours they work. Second, part-time people may have a primary commitment to another job, or are just trying the real estate business on for size. Weigh your feelings about this as part of your assessment.
Do You Have Any Certifications, Real Estate Education or Continuing Education?
Many real estate agents have certifications or education in particular areas, such as property preservation and maintenance, appraisals and mortgage originations. Their education in these areas can help ensure you will be receiving good advice. Plus, their commitment to keeping up with their field is a sign of professionalism.
Do You Specialize in Buying or Selling?
Most real estate agents work both for buyers and sellers. However, most also specialize in one or the other, since the markets and expertise required in both is very different. You want a real estate agent who can give you the optimum advice for your situation. You also want one who can help you negotiate the most advantageous deal. A buyer's agent will specialize in getting the lowest price for the buyer. A seller's agent will know negotiation tactics to get the selling price as close to the asking price as possible. It's best to choose an agent who specializes in your situation.
How Many Homes Did You Sell/Help Someone Buy Last Year?
There's no one magic figure here, but you want it to be more than one or two. You want to make sure your real estate agent is active and working. If it's a low figure and the real estate market in your area is not sluggish, avoid the agent.
How Many People Do You Work With at a Time?
Real estate professionals themselves say that an agent working with more than 10 people at a time will be stretched thin. Assess your own need for a real estate agent's time. If you are new to home transactions and need a lot of advice or hand-holding, pick someone who isn't pushing the envelope of being too busy.
What's Your Marketing/Sales Strategy?
If you're buying a home, you need a sales strategy. If you're selling it, you need a marketing strategy. Your real estate agent should have a strategy. Does he recommend paying in cash if you can to beat a hot real estate market, for example? Should you make a bid immediately if you see a home you like? Does he recommend a video tour for marketing a home you'd like to sell? Should you do a mini-kitchen renovation as a sweetener?
Can I Talk to Your References?
This is only a rhetorical question, since everyone interviewing a real estate agent should talk to at least three references, in person. We realize many people post customer satisfaction information on their websites, but you need to ask the references specific questions. Was the real estate agent easy to work with? Were they available when you needed them? Was their advice good, practical and up-to-date?
If you're going to be working with a real estate agent, be sure to ask them questions. You want to ascertain they are experienced and that working with them will suit your needs.

A pioneer and pillar. In one of the articles written by Jack Welch, entitled "What it really takes to succeed?", It is suggested that thousands of books have been written by a myriad of experts that they have succeeded by the confidence they have had in them. True, strong belief is a cornerstone in this quest for success. More positively, I would rephrase to say that these leaders, like Chia-Yi Tung, have adopted a positive attitude in addition to being visionary! Her path to success is filled with challenges and opportunities. This message that Chia-Yi Tung communicates with conviction is authentic; she has experienced it. The difference, therefore, between the one who believes deeply and the one that is successful is based essentially on her "guts", on the person who will know through the difficulties invest her energy and be persevering. As an international marketing specialist, Chia-Yi has demonstrated an overflowing creativity that she still shares with us.Read More

Chia-Yi was recommended by one of my attorneys in Asia. I hired her to help Thinkwell with its Chinese Branding effort.
Chia-Yi is the ultimate professional and a joy to work with; her team is great and the proposed solutions are timely with a perfect combination of creativity and pragmatism.
I heartily recommend Chia-Yi and Orchimedia and would be only too happy to work with her again.Read More
Customer testimonial video https://youtu.be/v5vtqj8vmLsRead More
Three words can summarize the work of Chia-Yi and her team: Listening, Expertise and Competence. She has an exceptional ability to understand her client the goals he/she wants to achieve, and then provide a creative and responsive approach for the Chinese market.
Her deep knowledge of the two cultures - North American and Asian – makes Chia-Yi an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to build bridges between these two markets and develop strategies for effective branding and marketing. Last but not least, her personality transforms each meeting and brainstorming session into a pleasant and constructive moment.Read More
I strongly recommend the services of Chia-Yi and Orchimedia to anybody wishing to do business with Asia. The devotion, professionalism and quality of work received from Chia-Yi are admirable. Each mandate has been a pleasant and rewarding experience.Read More
Competence and efficiency are the two words I will use to describe Orchimedia. With its knowledge of Asian markets, Orchimedia helped me find new commercial connections with China, and thus contributed to the development of my company. Any company that aims to develop in Asia should make the strategic choice to work with Orchimedia.Read More
At the start of 2011, Orchimedia created a website and several multi-lingual products (French, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese) to help us be more efficient in communicating with our existing clients and to facilitate our development into new markets. The simplicity and quality of the services received allowed us to better communicate our company's offer. Without hesitation, this had a huge impact on the financial results of our company during the past year.
In 2011, our sales of Asian vegetables saw a growth of 57% compared to that of 2010, of which 75% came from new clients (two in Quebec, one in Ontario and nine in the United States from Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York).Read More
I wish to acknowledge the high quality work that Orchimedia has performed in the past 6 months for our company. We have recently performed a merger and acquisition in Korea and used Orchimedia to assist us in the communication plan. Not only has the Orchimedia team performed the translation to Korean of very delicate communications, but they have added value by giving us the cultural context of Korean organizations. We have continued to use Orchimedia for our regular quarterly newsletters and marketing material. Our new Korean employees have been impressed by the accuracy and quality of translation for all the documents. Orchimedia is an invaluable resource for a company going global and involved in Asia.Read More
I would like to highlight the quality of work offered by Orchimedia in their projects for Cirque du Soleil. Orchimedia's desire to meet our needs was always evident and it is dedicated to providing great customer service as well as simple, transparent and pleasant communication.Read More
Camso (formally Camoplast Solideal) has worked with Orchimedia since 2008, at which point we were acquiring our factories in Korea. Since then, we continue to benefit from the excellent translation and interpretation services provided by Ms. Chia-Yi Tung and her team. They have also developed an online training course for us that introduces the cultural differences between Korea and North America. This has been greatly appreciated as it helps to better understand and improve our communications on both sides. They offer excellent customer service and are always attentive to respond rapidly and professionally to our demands.Read More
Four years ago I decided to entrust the visibility of my company to Orchimedia. So far, Orchimedia has managed to precisely target the advertising objectives that we had wanted to achieve and always presented exceptional results for which we still are congratulated. I would also like to highlight their exemplary efficiency and rigour with regard to deadlinesRead More
Humane Society International worked with Orchimedia to develop extensive sets of consumer education materials for our international campaigns. Orchimedia created beautiful designs, incorporating text in simplified and traditional Chinese as well as English. I look forward to working with Orchimedia in the future and would certainly recommend this company.Read More
Orchimedia was an important partner during the preparation of two missions to China for the Fédération des établissements d'enseignement privés. Most noteworthy was the quality of Orchimedia's services, the close attention paid to our needs and the respect of tight deadlines. In addition to the translation and preparation of promotional material, Orchimedia gave us very useful advice to help us achieve our missions' objectives. I thus strongly recommend the services of Orchimedia to whoever wishes to create and develop links with Asia.Read More
Mrs. Tung: she is an experienced international consultant; she has first-hand experience of Asian markets and she has a special network to help guide her clients; furthermore, her creative strength has already been demonstrated in a series of impressive success stories; myself and my colleagues in Ottawa, in both business and at the heart of the federal government, have seen her abilities and the quality of the advice that she gives; too many companies use up resources and large amounts of money in retraining and retracing the basic steps for developing these complex Asian markets.
Mrs. Tung and her team can accelerate the process and save you time and resources. The old saying "to rely on a local guide" is even more applicable in Asia … and I can recommend Mrs Tung in this regard without a doubt. Well done Chia-Yi!Read More
Trying to describe the entrepreneurial businesswoman that is Chia-Yi is like trying to describe a tornado: pictures are more fitting than words, and even more so as communication - notably graphic communications, therefore visual - is precisely one area of expertise in which she excels. As my former students at university, consultant colleagues or clients would tell you: I place the bar high and I don't praise easily, but the fact is that Chia-Yi is in a class of her own. Past herinterpersonal skills and charisma that create a very strong personality, we quickly see a talented person and a fighter that no-one and nothing can stop once she has her eyes on the prize. It is thus not surprising that Marie-France Bazzo invited her to participate in a show, for a whole season, where a panel of young immigrants present their view on the evolution of Quebec's society. To embellish it all: she does much more than just sell, she delivers solutions and will not stop until the client is fully satisfied. I am speaking from experience, having had the opportunity to work with her on cases that were far from easy.Read More

So we arrived at our lodging for the night. No microwave, but a big fridge, an oven and a stove. And in a separate room! There was also a large room with a flatscreen TV and lots of nice furniture. An office space! And a separate bedroom! And a large empty bedroom! And look – pictures of our kids on the wall –
The last day Tony had the idea to stop in Bethel, the site of the Woodstock Festival in 1969. We didn't realize that Yazger's Farm had a new owner and on its site is a music venue and a wonderful museum dedicated to the decade of the 1960's. We spent a few hours exploring the museum and gazing at the field where the festival took place. It brought back memories for Tony, who was there, and, for me it put into perspective much of our history, as a country, and for me and my family. It was such a dynamic and tumultuous, divisive and revolutionary time for all of us. Walking through the museum answered some questions and put to rest some of the ancient angst of my youth. It was the perfect bow with which to tie up this nostalgic trip through the memories of my childhood.
We continued on down Route 17 to 6, to the Bear Mountain Bridge, and home. The apartment looked strangely familiar, and it took a few days to begin to ease back into life at home. Even writing that, though, makes me continue to question the meaning of the word, and I'll be thinking about that a lot as I begin to sift through the photographs and make sense of it all.

GIMPS has discovered a new largest known prime number: 282589933-1 (24,862,048 digits)
Look at the first few primes: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13. Notice they have irregular gaps between them: 2 is followed immediately by the prime 3, 3 is followed by one composite, 5 by one, but 7 by three. We call the number of composites following a prime the length of the prime gap. For example, the prime gaps after 2, 3, 5 and seven are 0, 1, 1 and 3 respectively. By the prime number theorem, the "average gap" between primes less than n is log(n). See the page on prime gaps (linked below) for much more information.
Warning: Some authors define the prime gap to be the difference between consecutive primes, this is a number one larger than our definition.

Maybe you should duct-tape your mouth shut when dealing with Sith? Or you could keep going and build up a resistance against lightning. I heard sticking a fork in outlets gives a similar experience. Maybe for training? :p

Read the Rinjani Trek reviews from many of our happy clients.
This trekking group are very well organised. The total package is very good. transport from and to the hiking experience is included. Our guide and porters were amazing. always having fun and helping where needed, espescially through the tough moutain hike. They cook amazing food!
I also forgot my sunglasses and the driver brought it to my hotel in Sengiggi.
We zijn 3 dagen weg geweest met onze gids Rob. Hij kon ons veel vertellen over de natuur, omgeving en geschiedenis. Bijzonder aardige en behulpzame jongen van 21. De trek was behoorlijk zwaar, maar ontzettend goed geregeld. Bij elke pauze post stond het eten (wat erg goed was) binnen 5 minuten klaar. Chapeau voor de sterke porters. Absolute aanrader om via Syam trekker deze tocht te doen, omdat we gezien hebben dat andere organisaties het minder voor elkaar hadden.
Un trekk de 3 jours/2 nuits qui restera inoubliable en grande partie grâce à toute l'équipe de Syam Trekker!
Nourriture et équipement de camping au top, guide et porteurs sympathiques, compréhensifs et surtout respectueux de la nature.
Vous vous en rendrez compte bien assez vite mais les pentes du Rinjani et les camps de base sont de véritables dépottoirs (mégot par milliers, j'ai entièrement rempli une bouteille de 1.5L de mégots en moins de 20 minutes, record à battre), papier toilette flottant au vent, multitude d'emballages plastiques, poubelles laissées sur le chemin..)
Heureusement, les équipes de Syam Trekker font partie de ceux qui ne laissent rien derriere eux, ce qui devrait etre le critère numéro un.
Encore merci pour tout!
Hemos hecho el trekking de 3N/2N con Syam Trekker y ha sido una experiencia increíble. Esta compañía te cuida muchísimo, nos ayudaron en los momentos difíciles, la comida estaba espectacular de rica, y muy abundante, los colchones para dormir comodísimos y el staff maravilloso. Sin duda la mejor elección para hacer el trekking del Rinjani. Si repito, que no sé porque es muuuuy duro, lo haría con ellos.
