German online retailer Zalando has had a strong first half of 2014, with a nearly 30 % turnover increase and a positive EBIT, which is considered a great success.
"Major success"
Zalando's total turnover for the first six months is 1.047 billion euro, a 29.5 % increase compared to the 809 million euro in 2013. 546 million euro came from its second quarter, a lot more than in 2013, when it was 437 million euro.
Zalando managed a 12 million euro EBIT margin for those first six months, while it even reached 35 million euro margin in the second quarter. "Achieving a positive group EBIT margin in the first half-year is a major success for Zalando. Historically, our performance in the first half of any financial year tended to be weaker than in the second half", Rubin Ritter (member of the management board) said.
In the first half-year, the mobile app was launched in every international market, which resulted in 41 % of all website visitors coming from mobile sources. Zalando's website received 323 million visitors in the second quarter, with 13.7 million active users. The year before, it only welcomed 11.6 million visitors.

What does Acupuncture Benefit?
Acupuncture is often effective with a wide range of complaints, including chronic fatigue, depression, back pain, joint pain, infertility, asthma, addictions, and stress. Acupuncture is also helpful for many chronic illnesses and health concerns that have no clear origin or cause. Patients committed to a healthy lifestyle who receive ongoing acupuncture treatment for maintenance and health promotion often experience:
- Being sick less often and recovering more quickly
- Improvement of vitality and stamina
- Being able to take care of their own health
- Relationships with others deepening and becoming more harmonious
- Reductions in long term health care costs
*A survey of people who receive acupuncture, conducted by Claire Cassidy, Ph.D., indicates that they see their physicians less frequently and use fewer medications. In addition, over two thirds of those surveyed reported having avoided recommended surgery.
The World Health Organization recognizes the ability of acupuncture and traditional Oriental medicine to treat over 43 common disorders including:
- Addiction-alcohol, drug, smoking
- Anxiety
- Arthritis
- Asthma
- Back Pain
- Bronchitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Chronic fatigue
- Chron's disease
- Colitis
- Common cold
- Constipation
- Dental pain
- Depression
- Diarrhea
- Digestive disorders
- Dizziness
- Elbow pain
- Emotional problems
- Eye problems
- Facial palsy/tics
- Fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- Headache
- Hiccough
- Incontinence
- Indigestion
- Infertility
- Insomnia
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Knee pain

Does Acupuncture hurt and is it safe?
The sensations that patients experience during acupuncture range from nothing at all to a brief ache or heaviness in the area being needled. Some points are more sensitive than others. By and large patients describe the sensations as fleeting and the treatment experience as deeply relaxing.
There is general agreement that acupuncture is safe when administered by well-trained practitioners using sterile needles. Because acupuncture needles penetrate the skin, they are required by law in the U.S. to be sterile, disposable, and used only once, identical to the regulations for similar needles used in hospitals and clinics. There is no risk of bacterial or viral infection when sterile one-time-use needles are applied.
Adverse effects to acupuncture are exceedingly rare and are usually associated with poorly trained and/or unlicensed acupuncturists. The majority of side effects reported are minor, mainly slight bleeding at entry site (2.9%), hematoma (2.2%), and dizziness (1%). The use of acupuncture has become increasingly popular and endorsed by the United States National Institutes of Health, the National Health Service of the United Kingdom, the World Health Organization, and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (a sub-division of the NIH).
Why would I see an Acupuncturist?
Many patients begin acupuncture treatment to find relief from a wide range of physical conditions. Some patients have lived with their condition for years believing they must live with pain. Still others believe that taking a pill, which masks their physical or emotional symptoms, is the answer. Acupuncture provides gentle healing on a deep level, and can succeed where other treatments have not. Many who are not experiencing ailments also seek treatment to maximize their wellness and maintain balance. Acupuncture awakens the senses and offers the possibility of deep healing of the body, mind and spirit as an inseparable whole. Patients report increased clarity, creativity and deeper meaning in their day-to-day lives. Frequently, patients come for regular treatments to achieve increased effectiveness and enjoyment at work. Others come to help deepen their relationships with others. Acupuncture can be used as a preventative measure to keep you healthy throughout the year.
Women's health?
Many women are seeking acupuncture for OB/GYM concerns: infertility, PMS, endometriosis and menopause. Acupuncture is uniquely suited and has been used to treat woman's health issues for thousands of years. From an eastern viewpoint, the body's sense of balance will be reflected in her menstrual cycle, fertility, postpartum and menopause. Chronic worry and stress, overwork, grief, anxiety, and poor nutrition can effect the balance of a woman's body.
Symptoms that women accept as normal such as cramps and heavy bleeding are a sign of an imbalance. When in balance menstrual cycles should be regular with no "PMS", cramps, migraines. Conception should come naturally, and menopause should have no symptoms other than the cessation of menses.
Acupuncture can ease:
• Mood swings, depression, irritability, anxiety
• Menopause-related issues:hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, bone loss, anxiety, moodiness, sleeplessness
• Menstrual cycle regulation
• Ovarian cysts
• Menstrual Cramps
• PMS (headaches, fatigue, bloating, irritability, sadness)
• Pregnancy-related issues:nausea, indigestion, fatigue, back pain, swelling
What can I expect?
Most people are surprised at the depth of relaxation and the sense of well being and healing which occurs from the rebalancing of the body's energy. Often relief from symptoms is felt immediately, although relief may occur over the course of days or weeks depending on the severity of symptoms. You will find you will look forward to treatment for the many benefits that are received from acupuncture.
Acupuncture and stress?
We all are exposed to stressful situations in our lives. If we are healthy, the stress is short lived and not too severe, we can usually recover without developing any major symptoms. However, when the stress is extreme, or if it lasts a long time, our emotional health and ultimately, our physical health begin to suffer.
Some common stress related illnesses are: irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia, hypertension, stroke, myocardial infarction, migraine, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and even auto-immune diseases.
In ancient times, our reaction to stress ("fight or flight",) enabled us to run or defend ourselves during real threats such an animal attack. In modern times our stressors are much different. Working on a computer all day, cell phones, a stressful job, traffic, being overweight or watching the nightly news is more frequent and more consistent than our ancestors experienced. As a result we find ourselves in a constant state of "fight or flight"…what we call stress. The body's response to stress is to elevate insulin and cortisol levels, increase blood pressure, shut down the digestive system and suppress the immune system.
Even if the stressors are no longer present, the body continues to keep the stress response active. This can deplete our kidneys, and adrenal glands and decrease our white blood cells, which defend out body against disease. In order to reduce stress we must eliminate as much as we can through lifestyle changes (nutrition, exercise, relaxation techniques) and treating the physical body in order to release the emotions. This can help to reprogram the body's response to stress.
How can Acupuncture help?
Typically when we get stressed we tense up. This tightening causes our body's energy (Ch'i) to get stuck. Ch'i enables our food to digest, our legs to move and our lungs to fill with air. Think about how your body responds when you are under stress perhaps you find it hard to breath, or swallow, maybe your stomach aches or your ears ring. Stress, acts like a traffic jam, blocking the free flow of energy in the body. Many people who are very stressed suffer from upper back, shoulder and neck pain. This is because stress is causing tension in those areas, blocking the free flow of energy, causing pain, tightness, and often leading to headaches.
Acupuncture effectively treats disorders caused by stress, by unblocking stuck Ch'i, allowing it to flow properly throughout the body. We feel more relaxed and can sleep better at night. Our food is digested smoothly and moves through the bowels properly. As our tension is relieved, so are our symptoms. Since we are more relaxed our temper becomes more even and we are less reactive. Acupuncture also releases stress reducing, natural pain-killing, chemicals in the brain, called endorphins.1 In addition, acupuncture improves circulation of blood throughout the body, which brings oxygen to the tissues and clears out cortisol and other waste chemicals. The calming nature of acupuncture also decreases heart rate, lowers blood pressure and relaxes the muscles
Acupuncture and endorphins. Neurosci Lett. 2004 May 6;361(1-3):258-61.
Is there scientific evidence that Acupuncture works and where else can I find information about Acupuncture?
Over the last few decades much research has been conducted to explain how acupuncture works. The 1997 National Institutes of Health (NIH) reported, "Acupuncture can cause multiple biological responses, mediated mainly by sensory neurons to many structures within the central nervous system. This can lead to activation of pathways affecting various physiological systems in the brain as well as in the periphery"(1) and "acupuncture activates the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, resulting in a broad spectrum of systemic effects. Alteration in the secretion of neurotransmitter and neurohormones and changes in the regulation of blood flow, both centrally and peripherally have been documented. There is also evidence of enhancements in immune functions produced by acupuncture"(2)

MyFriendsHotMom – Cory Chase (18.10.2017)
Luna Star is hot and horny! Her husband had to bolt this morning, so she didn't even get to blow him out the door. And that's left her wanting! So — beep boop bop! — she dials the old hubs up and tells him she wants to fuck Johnny, the guy from the gym! "Huh?" you say. "What?" Yes! Sopping wet Luna tells her husband she's going to fuck another man….and he's OK with it! That's their relationship and they're sticking to it, especially because it turns both of them on. AND Luna tells him she's going to try to fuck Johnny in front of the cameras so he can watch later! But what she didn't tell him is that Johnny's going to pound her so good she's going to beg for him to creampie her thirsting pussy — he's in for a treat! And Johnny, the innocent bystander, just gets a call from a sexy, blonde, hotwifing Latina with big tits and a fat ass telling him she wants him to come over and fuck AHORA…what a lucky bastard!

Are you one of those perfectly-organized parents who has planned out every minute of his or her child's summer already? If not, fret not. Your local libraries have done a lot of the work for you, with entertaining programs that are planned and ready to be inked onto your summer calendar.
Not only are the programs varied and appropriate for a wide span of ages, but - once you get to the library - they're usually free, although some require reading.
Prefer a museum or a zoo trip? The libraries offer passes that give you deep discounts off admission. (See separate box, page 5.)
The 2007 Statewide Summer Reading Program of the Massachusetts Regional Library Systems (MRLS) - dubbed "Catch the Beat at Your Library" - is funded by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). IMLS is "a grant-making federal agency," according to its Web site, www.imls.gov.
Maureen Ambrosino, youth services consultant at the Central Mass. Regional Library System office in Shrewsbury, said, "Catch the Beat at Your Library is a celebration of libraries, reading and Massachusetts pride. Although each library customizes its reading program to respond to local community needs, many libraries will feature programs that focus on music, poetry, games, rhythm and rhyme, and all things with a beat."
Statewide corporate sponsor Waste Management is also partnering with MRLS to fund "Catch the Beat."
Many other local businesses also contribute, to ensure our youth have incentives to visit the library over the summer. Participation prizes include coupons donated by: Davis Farmland and Mega Maze (Sterling), Ecotarium (Worcester), Higgins Armory Museum (Worcester), Old Sturbridge Village, Roll On America (Leominster), Southwick's Zoo (Mendon) and the Worcester Art Museum.
Here's a town-by-town rundown on some free summer events at the area's public libraries.

Next summer, it will be in temporary quarters, and in 2009 it will occupy a brand new building. Librarian "Mr. Phil" Whalen says this is cause for a "really big" summer reading program this year.
The library will raffle an iPod with docking station as the grand prize in a series of raffles for participants in a weekly photo contest. Every Tuesday through Aug. 21, a new photo will be shown; just a portion of a familiar Bolton person, place or thing will be visible. Entrants guess the identity of the whole subject. The first correct guess, drawn at the end of the week, wins a prize.

Inscrutable Comic
Inscrutable Comic is a 10 foot long and 3 feet tall mural, composed of ink and acrylic paint. It is on permanent display at the Flashpoint Gallery in Washington, DC. As the title suggests, it doesn't make a whole lot of logical sense when read as an A-to-B narrative but is meant to show a variety of moments in the life of a city dweller.

I've been co parenting with my ex-husband for 14 years and while we've had a few speed bumps along the way, we've had an oddly easy road. I honestly can't remember the last time we had a disagreement and have no idea when the last time we actually verbally argued . I can say with certainty that it takes maturity on both sides to make it work and it has to be ALL about the child. I'd say when it comes to co parenting ,on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best, we're a solid 11. I've learned a few lessons over these 14 years that I think are pretty vital to assure that co parenting works. I'm aware that there are unique situations that might not fit into these 7 suggestions but I also know that the majority of co parenting situations can be so much easier than we make them.
7 Steps to Healthy Co Parenting
1. Brush your teeth and don't forget to scrub your tongue.
Rule number one is to keep your mouth clean and to never let nasty words about your co-parent leave your mouth and enter the ears of your child. Bad mouthing your child's other parent is toxic to the child and you are essentially bad mouthing half of who they are. You're also making yourself look mean and bitter while slowly grating away at who your child is. My ex and I have always made it a point to hug each other when we are in front of our daughter even if we wanted to wring each others necks. She has never heard a single negative thing out of either of our mouths about her other parents, never and that includes step parents. No matter how solid you think your relationship is with your child, no matter how right you think you are in your feelings towards your co-parent, if you bad mouth them your child will resent you for it at some point in their lives. It might not be tomorrow or even 5 years from now but I promise it will happen. Bad mouthing your child's other parents falls in the category of Parental Alienation Syndrome and you don't want to be that crazy parent do you?
2. Do this math problem everyday. 1+1= 1
Your child should have one family. Co-parents need to be strong enough to accept each other as family and not make the child feel like they are living two separate lives. A child should never have to pack an over night bag to go stay at their parents house. A child should have everything they need at both houses and shouldn't feel like a guest or overnight visitor in either home. All extended family members are equally family members, even if you think your side of the family is better than theirs. Our daughter has 4 half sisters, a half-brother and a step sister but our family doesn't use those words. In our one big family she has 5 sisters and a brother. Step parents are just as responsible and respected as bio parents. We do not have separate birthday parties and we all sit together if our child has an event we need to attend. We are her family, one family.
3. Do yoga every morning
Stretch it out, you're going to need to be flexible. My co-parent and I threw out custody papers a long time ago and decided to simply be adults about it all. We don't believe in "my time" and "your time". She's our daughter, not a possession. In or eyes it doesn't matter if she's with me or him, as long as she's with family. We do every other weekend but in the summers and holidays we kind of just do whatever. This year she spent Mother's Day at his house, not because I didn't want her with me but because she was staying that weekend with him and he wanted to cook dinner for his mom and have her there too. She was with family and that's what matters. We simply share in the joy of raising her with out the stress of a schedule drawn out by lawyers who don't really know our family dynamics. If you are all about sticking strictly to the papers then I hope you never have anything come up where you might need your co-parent to work with you bending them a little. You can't have it both ways.
4. Wash your laundry everyday, empty the dirty laundry hamper.
Let it go. Stop airing dirty laundry. If you're still bringing up what your co-parent did wrong 2, 5, 10 years ago then you are carrying a weight that is crippling you and the healthy growth of your child. Let it go. And really, how clean is your closet? Be honest. There is no perfect parent so if you want to point out your co-parents flaws, you might want to get a mirror. Life is much better for all involved if you learn to encourage each other as parents instead of bash each other or try to win as the better parent. The parent who's keeping score will always end up to be the loser.
5. Take off your tiara and pack it away
It's no longer about you. Your days of reining over your world are over. It's now only about the child and what's best for them. What is truly in the best interest of your child might not match what you feel is in your best interest. Sorry for your luck. If you are currently arranging things to ease your feelings then you're doing it wrong. Your job is to nurture the relationship between your child and your co-parent without letting yourself get in the way. What!? Yes, they aren't puppets, they're people and trying to control their relationship is a hopeless battle. Instead try encouraging them to have their own unique relationship and not one you designed for them. If one of your parents bad mouthed your other parent or tried to control your relationship with them, break the cycle instead of continuing a toxic tradition.
6. Upgrade your cell phone plan
Communicate with each other, respectfully. Talk about things, talk about everything. Talk to each other, not through your child. Don't bottle issues up only to explode later or pull them out as a weapon when needed. Just communicate and work things out like adults. You are not always going to see eye to eye and that's okay, it's normal but it doesn't have to be World War 3. This is when the yoga things comes in handy again. You'll have to bend and compromise. You can't always have your way. Have enough respect for yourself, your co-parent and most important your child to sit down and work out issues before they cause friction in your family. NEVER EVER EVER involve your child in adult situations, they are children and need to stay that way. They should not shoulder the burden of adult problems. Involving them in adult situations is extremely selfish and immature.
7. Take a daily trip.
So remember that one time when you really really liked your co-parent, maybe even loved them. There had to be a time at some point when you thought enough of them to lay down with them if you know what if you know what I'm saying. Remember that daily. Gross right? Not really. Remembering why our child's here in the first place can take away negative thoughts about your co-parent. I mean really, look at your child and remember that they wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for your co-parent. Try thanking them for it today.
I think my most rewarding moment as a co-parent was when I got a call from the school counselor when my daughter was in second grade. She told me that she had my daughter and another little girl in her office just chit chatting about different things. The other little girl said that her parents were getting a divorce and she was mad. My daughter chimed in and said "So what, my parents are divorced and they love each other".
The counselor was calling to tell me congrats on whatever it was that my ex and I were doing because our little girl was clueless that divorce can cause major issues. She was just completely confident that no matter what her mommy and daddy loved her and each other and that's all that counts. That's not to glorify divorce or say that we want our daughter to think divorce is easy or good. It says that we have done everything possible to not let our choice for divorce to negatively affect her. It was our choice, not our daughter's.

The Starfish
The Starfish
Paraphrased From: The Star Thrower by Loren Eiseley
Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing.
One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?" The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfish in the ocean."
"I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?" "The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die."
"But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!"
The young man listened politely. Then bent down picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."
In closing, there is something very special in each and every one of us and we must each find our own starfish. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference and if we throw our stars wisely and well -- the world will be blessed!

In this the 3rd and final piece on writing and error analysis I will look at things to do rather than things not to do. I talk a lot about planning and I feel very strongly that this is key to good writing. Checking comes next, you don't want to throw away marks, or make yourself look stupid with silly errors. Of course practice is the key and the more you practise the better you will become.
Here are my 7 glorious virtues to help achieve a good, low error, written style.
1. Less is more – this maxim can refer to several areas of writing
- don't make your sentences too long, long sentences give more room for mistakes if they are going on to 3 lines check them carefully!!
- word limits are a guide – if you have 220 and the guide is 250 don't add 30 words for the sake of it. If you have concluded your argument and feel satisfied with the piece you have written leave it. 30 extra words will not gain you marks if they are not relevant in fact they could destroy your essay altogether!
- don't write more than 1 essay at a time – if you produce 3 essays at the same time it is likely that they will all have the same mistakes. Have your piece of writing marked or looked at before you begin a second.
2. Analyse your mistakes – make sure you understand how to improve on any errors and add them to your mental check list for next time
- this may seem like common sense but I was horrified once to find that an IELTS class of mine were putting marked essays in their folders and not looking at my comments or suggestions! As a consequence their scores were not improving and they produced the same type of writing each week.
- understanding where you went wrong is key – unless you do this you will simply repeat the same mistakes over and over
3. Make synonym lists – look at words you use a lot in your writing – find synonyms – rich vocabulary demonstrates your language ability and gives your writing sophistication
- opening phrases (Some people, On the one hand, Although etc.)
- closing phrases (Finally, In conclusion, In my opinion etc..)
- linking words (in spite of, moreover, nevertheless etc.. See my post on Linking words)
Find more of these on Gapfillers How to Write.
4. have a list of knock-out words and phrases – pick out a few words that will enhance your writing and use them – once – sometimes a beautiful sentence or word is used in an essay and it has an amazing effect! Then it is used again and sometimes a third time and that initial effect is destroyed.
some examples might be –
- starting sentences with present participles (…ing) – Having weighed up all the pros and cons, it is vital that …. etc (make sure you don't lose sight of your subject in these sentences)
- using the passive –
- cleft sentences (see my post on this)
- inversion
Of course it depends on the type of writing you are producing as to which of these is appropriate but you need one or two in your armoury. Use them deliberately for effect (making sure, of course, that you can use them correctly!!)
5. look at models – unless you are planning to break the mould with your writing (which would be dangerous in an exam or with a job-related report!) use models as examples. You can find these easily on the internet. If you are an IELTS student look at newspaper versions of data reports (the business sections have lots of these). Type in your essay title and see what comes up. DO NOT COPY THESE, use them to analyse how things are expressed and what words are appropriate for the topic. Make notes and then use these phrases and words in your own writing.
6. be bold – (this may seem to contradict 5 above, but I am talking in microcosm here – not the entire piece) try new things (this is best done before the exam or final draft) some new phrases or grammar items -it can only help to give your writing more variety. Even if it doesn't go completely right you'll get some credit for trying.
7. read more and widely – your reading also acts as a model for your writing. By reading widely you are exposing yourself to different styles and models. You will become familiar with a wider range of phrases and vocabulary as well as good grammatical usage.
You can find more advice here.
So, as with many things, writing is 80% preparation and 20% execution!!

Foods Imported From China That People Should Avoid At All Costs For Their Own Health
The United States does plenty of trading with other countries, but one of the biggest nations we deal with is China. We spend billions of dollars each year importing all sorts of goods, especially food.
While you might think your imported food is thoroughly vetted, that's not the case. Not everything is unsafe, but these 20 dangerous foods might be lurking in your kitchen right now!
1. Cod: Believe it or not, this common fish is among the absolute worst foods to digest from China. Thousands are cramped in small areas teeming with sewage and garbage, making them highly toxic.
2. Eggs: If you get eggs that were imported from China, you might want to think twice before scrambling them up. Factories there use calcium carbonate and paraffin in their eggs, which can cause serious food poisoning.
3. Lamb: In 2013, police arrested 900 people in China because they were pawning off rat meat as lamb, and that's disgusting. Officers seized about 20,000 pounds of spoiled rat meat, as well!
4. Wine: If you consider yourself a wine connoisseur, you'll probably want to avoid wine that was "Made in China". Sure, you'll find your standard grapes, but you'll also consume sugar, dyes, and artificial flavors. Cheers!
5. Tea: Even though China is the biggest purveyor of tea throughout the world, close to 29 toxic chemicals have been found in various brands. Luckily, none of them were exported to other countries, but still…
6. Industrial salt: For years, industrial salt has been sold throughout China as table salt. However, this type of sodium is not meant for human consumption; it can cause hypothyroid problems and reproductive system disorders.
7. Watermelon: Many of the watermelons exported from China are covered in a highly harmful pesticide that causes them to grow at rapid rates. Buy your produce locally to avoid getting sick.
8. Tilapia: Much like the factory-farmed cod, these fish are placed into small overcrowded areas where the water is full of toxic chemicals. The fish breathe in the chemicals, and then end up on your dinner plate.
9. Rice noodles: The Chinese sure love their noodles, but you should probably try to avoid imported rice noodles. Some factories use sulfur dioxide to make their noodles appear fresh. This chemical has been linked to cancer.
10. Pork: Some people prefer beef over pork, but in China, beef is about twice as expensive. So what does a company do to counter the problem? They pump borax-filled additives into their pork to make it look like beef!
11. Garlic: Chinese garlic farms are known to be coated in chemical products before the garlic is picked and shipped to stores. If you ever eat Canadian garlic and then Chinese garlic, you can instantly taste the difference.
12. Mushrooms: When food inspectors examine mushrooms coming in from China, they often find tainted batches. Some companies will even label their product "organic" just to increase sales.
13. Plastic rice: Nearly every meal in China is eaten with rice, so you'd think they would ensure it was safe, right? Nope. It turns out many factories add a cancer-causing synthetic resin to their rice. Gross!
14. Milk: Melanin is a chemical that causes serious damage to kidneys, and it's been found in imported milk. The problem is so bad that six children have died over recent years and 300,000 have gotten very ill.
15. Apple juice: Amazingly, 50 percent of the apple juice sold in the United States comes out of China. This is scary since the number of pesticides sprayed on the fruit prior to processing is at an all time high. Stick to water, instead!
16. Cabbage: During the super high temperatures of the summer months, Chinese farmers will spray a highly toxic formalin solution onto cabbage to keep them looking fresh. Best not to dabble.
17. Peas: Wasn't it John Lennon who said, "Give peas a chance"? Well, you don't want to give canned peas from China a chance. In 2005, food inspectors found artificially colored fake peas in thousands of cans.
18. Black pepper: You might have heard of the "famous" Chinese black pepper, but if you ever get a chance to try it, you might want to pass. Some people are simply selling hardened mud pellets!
19. Oil: A massive food company in China made the disgusting decision to recycle used olive oil from thousands of restaurants, filter it, and then resell it. Oil vey!
20. Chicken: Avian influenza and other food-borne illnesses are prevalent in China, so when it comes to imported chicken, you might want to walk in the other direction. It's never the right time to get salmonella.
This is a great list to keep in mind the next time you go food shopping. Always check where your groceries are coming from!

Three strings of white lights - 100 lights each - are on all the branches, and in the "open" spaces in between where there are NO branches. Through the window outside, it sort-of looks like a Christmas Tree. Or maybe more like a haphazard grouping of lights. Not your regular, if boring, triangle tree of lights.
So, it would seem perfectly on par to decorate it with "found" goodies. This year, our tree has absolutely NO ornaments from our previous Christmas trees. Nope. Not A One. Weird! Not the Cheerios glued on popsicle sticks covered in glitter ornament. Not the applesauce/cinnamon bell-shaped cut-outs. No crystals. No glass. Hmmm. Now, I'm kind of feeling nostalgic for those little gems from when the boys were little. How could I be that lazy this year and leave them packed away?
Well, I guess, I got a little carried away this year picking up some "new" and "vintage" goodies. Plus, these little branches are so thin and fragile and probably wouldn't hold the Schiefer Family Classics. Well, maybe except for the Cheerios!
So now, on with the short, fat, bald, 2009 Schiefer Family Christmas Tree Tour....

Comprehending The Latest Trends in Search engine optimization
The web site is recognized as result oriented and fruitful if her caliber to attract high-traffic. To be able to drag traffic online, it's mandatory that it ought to be enhanced regarding the parameters of the various search engines. The logic behind this is you only get visitors in case your website seems on top of the searches using the relevant keywords. The main area of the human population is online services to be able to search services and products. They will use keywords while doing looking around the internet search engine. For instance, if you wish to choose the dinner, then you'll search "best restaurant in New Delhi". With this particular, the internet search engine will manifest their email list of various websites from the restaurants that are enhanced with this particular keyword.
The internet search engine algorithms are altering daily. The explanation for this is they wish to provide authentic information towards the users.

Our CEO, DJ Heckes, is a voracious reader. Here are some of her top picks for leadership book reading. We could include her two books in this list too; "The Noise Behind Business" and "Full Brain Marketing".
5 Gears (How to be Present and Productive When There is Never Enough Time)
Jeremie Kubicek and Steve Cockram, Authors
Recommendation: The communication and 5 Gears can be applied both personally and professionally. We have used the 5 Gear Communications here at EXHIB-IT! for efficiency in our work loads and also learned the importance of socializing and focus time needs. I personally use this with my hubby too. It truly works!
Gear 1 – Learning to Recharge
Gear 2 – Connecting Deeply
Gear 3 – Why Being Social Matters
Gear 4 – Leading in a Task World
Gear 5 – In the Zone
E Myth Mastery
Michael E. Gerber, Author
Recommendation: I read the first book EMyth and then the second book in early 2005 and when truly applied the EMyth Essential Disciplines for Building a World Class Company, my company grew 169% in just 16 months!
I still use the systems and processes for building best practices within our company and realized the importance of running an efficient company that leads to finding better employees that know and understand what is needed for a successful company.
Rapid Change: Immediate Action for the Impatient Leader
Joe Laipple, Author
Recommendation: It discussed how a business owner or leader needs to be persistent and deliberate with what is needed and communicate the change effectively. It explained the path to use for Rapid Change and how to get employees to buy into change, making it work and most of all making it stick.
I used the principles laid out in 2013 and 2014 and by end of 2014 our company was a completely different culture that created and embraced change.
Oops! The 13 Management Practices That Waste Time and Money (and what to do instead)
Aubrey C. Daniels, Author
Recommendation: This book was enlightening to me as a business owner that followed traditional annual reviews with annual raises. This book taught me that smart employees do not like waiting for a year to be reviewed and also do not like incentives like Employee of the Month, etc.
We created a quarterly Pay for Performance Bonus Program after reading this book that incentivized smart working employees that truly made a difference in the company and helped each department work as a team to work towards one goal together. This helped keep employees satisfied and liking their jobs. It taught me about employee behaviors and what was truly a waste of time and effort on my behalf that employees really did not care about. I read the book, implemented changes and it worked.
How Full is Your Bucket?
Tom Wrath & Donald O. Clifton, Ph.D, Authors
Recommendation: I learned a lot about time management with reading this book and that giving can both be a great thing and yet a difficult thing. It is all about positivity, negativity and productivity and laid out how every moment in time matters. I learned that giving matters and used the five strategies: (1) Prevent Bucket Dipping; (2) Shine a Light on What is Right; (3) Make Best Friends; (4) Give Unexpectedly; and (5) Reverse the Golden Rule. My time management was much better and it allowed me even more time to give without feeling taken from on my time. As a leader, it is critical to lead by example and if you expect to have a high-performance team, you need to be a high-performance leader and player.
Our marketing and sales expert, Tayler Petrowski, is knee-deep in obtaining her MBA. When she isn't reading textbooks, Tayler recommends these leadership books.
Never Eat Alone
Keith Ferazzi
Recommendation: This book is about networking, but without that preachy, upper-class feel to it that you get in some other books.
David and Goliath: Underdog, Misfits, and Art of Battling Giants
Malcolm Gladwell
Recommendation: ALL his books are great and easy to ready psychology studies that can be applied to everyday and business life.
Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works
A.G. Lafley
Recommendation: This book is about corporate strategy and how to find your company's core strengths and then using them to your advantage. It also contains great case studies.
Our freelance web designer, Anna Doo, has read numerous leadership tomes during her years of entrepreneurship. Her husband also consumes leadership books like air.
The New One Minute Manager
Ken Blanchard
Recommendation: The series of One Minute Manager books are super simple, quick reads but are chock full of actionable ideas. They help identify simple things that are overlooked that when changed make life easier.
Outliers: The Story of Success
Malcolm Gladwell
Recommendation: You are a go-getter, bold, and sometimes-reckless… thanks to some obscure culture from forever ago. But, how? Why? Gladwell is a talented storyteller, in this moderate-read, which exposes invisible strings –that pull on invisible strings. By the time you close the back cover, you will look at your business with new eyes… curious eyes… seeking what actions on the fringe of your industry are helping, or hurting, your business and life, so you can boldly take control of those strings as well.
The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business
Charles Duhigg
Recommendation: What did you do just there!? Was it by accident, instinct, or design? How can you use that to your advantage, or re-engineer it to be advantageous? Duhigg illuminates this overlooked area of ourselves, which we carry with us everyday. He talks about how to foster it, change it, express it, and identify it in ourselves and others.
Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
Recommendation: The originator that generated an industry of cataloging and analyzing the hidden complex correlations of this world. Not the quick read, but will expose you to the cloaked side of our universe, of cause-and-effect, that will blow your mind. What seemingly unseen factors are helping, or hurting your business? This book will incidentally help you learn to understand and translate, these 'hidden' influences.
Leadership: The Warrior's Art
Christopher D. Kolenda
Recommendation: Yes, this comes from the perspective of Military Leadership. But, this book will surprise you by how the author celebrates the scripted successes of history's greatest victories, by its most noted leaders. Take a break from the "# Essential Leadership" Element" books, and the "How-To-Lead", and immerse yourself in receiving insight into the background of history leadership-warrior-arts greatest lead turn-about.
The 48 Laws of Power
Robert Greene
Recommendation: The modern Machiavelli's, "The Prince." Before you pick up this book, understand that this is not the cutesy fluff and pomp that you may have become used to. This book is a cold-hearted, real hard look, into the human psychology and behaviors that have separated the winners from losers. This will bring out your cackle, make you shake your head, and cause you to let loose a gasp. Not a quick read, but worth every minute.

Hamilton: 'I'm just doing my job, I'm hired to race'
The team orders saga at Mercedes was reignited during the Hungarian Grand Prix when Lewis Hamilton was told to move over for team-mate Nico Rosberg.
The question of whether Hamilton was right to refuse to move over or not is down to personal preference. He has the backing of Niki Lauda who said he'd do the same and even referred to an earlier claim that Mercedes wouldn't employ team orders this year.
"Lewis ignored it because he remembered before the season that we said they could fight freely against each other," noted the Austrian.
"That's why he did the right thing."
- Mercedes insist they won't ever use team orders
Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff and Rosberg - for obvious reasons - don't agree, with both claiming Hamilton cost the team a victory, but the Briton refuses to see it that way.
"I am hired to be me, and race my heart out," he said.
"I did not cost Nico a win," he insisted. "I was racing against him! Why would I be concerned for him?
"I don't think I was being ruthless. I was not even being bloody minded. I was doing my job. I tried my hardest to be ahead and I don't feel as though I was obligated to help."

Osteopathy is manual diagnosis and treatment that takes account of the whole body and mind inter-relationship. The osteopath looks for stresses and strains throughout the body's mechanism. Osteopathy is strongly underpinned by historic principles that are as relevant today as they were when Andrew Taylor Still developed them some 140 years ago in Kirksville, Missouri.
Treatment modalities vary from very subtle cranial work, especially for the newborn and very sensitive patients to more energetic, specific stretch and articulatory techniques.
Modern Osteopathic training is rigorous as would be demanded of any front line medicine. During the four or five year training, Osteopathic concepts are interwoven with medical disciplines culminating in a BSc HONS and a separate Registration qualification. Osteopaths have to maintain their registration with the General Osteopathic Council by undertaking a minimum of 30 hours of training every year which is logged and evaluated.
The Osteopathic approach is homeostatic; if the structural mechanics are sound then the body has every chance to repair itself. Much of the initial interface with patients is when people present with acute pain either from work strain, accident, injury or postural problems. However it is a stressful and toxic world we live in; some systemic problems derive from the human body failing to cope. Having said that the tolerances of the human body never fail to amaze.
At Derwent Osteopathy we treat all ages. To relieve the strains on a body from the birth process can set a little person up for life. That and helping ease discomfort at the end of a life is perhaps the greatest privilege.

Sounds for a While: A Collection of Sounds in Time
"Sounds for a While" is a foray into the quandary of defining music by the Deutsche Oper Berlin. It runs between 25, 27, 28, 29, 30 June to 2 July 2015 at 20:00 at the Tischlerei Stage of the Deutsche Oper, Bismarckstraße 35, Berlin. It is a self described musical theater installation presented by master's students of the University of the Arts Berlin Sound Studies program, directed by visiting professor Hans Peter Kuhn. This show dives headfirst into the murky and argumentative pool that contains the dispute over the definition of music.
Designed to be a performance from before the moment of entry, audience members waiting for admittance into the show are treated to the sounds of a woman who is alternately grunting, moaning, and making vocal swoops. The opening of the doors is done by one of the performers with a mysterious look in her eye as she allows the audience to enter. The entrance delivers the audience to a rhythmic spectacle of chairs scraping across the floor. From the start there is anticipation as to what will be presented through the show, and it only increases throughout.
The presentation of the piece in the Tischlerei of the Deutsche Oper, is an appropriate location for it. The audience can freely wander through the set during the show. The performers do not interact with the audience but gracefully track their steps around any audience members. The performance flows smoothly throughout the pieces as one feeds directly into the next, challenging one to stay abreast of the situation. It could be asked if this is indeed music that is being presented, but even more relevantly, the question is begged, why is this piece being presented? "Sounds for a While" challenges its audience to confront the dilemma not only of what music really is, but also more importantly, what can one do with normalcy?
The use of mundane daily articles, such as chairs, rubber bands, buckets being splashed by drops of water, fart sounds and more are transformed by amplification and become anything but normal. It is tricky to not add interpretation to the pieces, but important not to as any attempt at that will soon fall flat as yet another astonishing twist occurs. True, that in daily routine there is noise, true that the definition of music is forced to grow as the technology of the age expands, but throughout it all there is a whispered question: "what can you do with your life?" The performance does not present an answer, but the use of prosaic daily articles to create a performance that is anything but mundane intones that there is something more.
The performance is limited in its emotional range however. The performers are mostly flat, with a few moments of either loneliness, as in Siri- Orakel, or aggressiveness, as in Dido's (ugly) lament and the growling dog in Die Opfergabe. There is a feeling of emptiness as the performance progresses. The one brilliant exception to this is due to the interaction between the performers in Im Knast, mit Ärger where the prisoner delicately plays the bars of his cage until he is assaulted by outsiders banging on it. The show presents an interesting interaction of objects with technology, but by the end of the performance the audience is left with a vacant feeling. As Siri quotes H.L Mencken, "love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence." "Sounds for a While" is a triumph of intelligence and imagination, but it is lacking in passion.

Gosford Expansion
University of Newcastle welcomes expansion of higher education in Gosford
The University of Newcastle has welcomed today's announcement by Minister for Higher Education Senator Kim Carr that foreshadows development of new pathways to support more students in Gosford to enter university.
Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Caroline McMillen, said that the University was delighted by Minister Carr's focus on higher education in Gosford, as this aligns with the University's current plans to expand its presence in Gosford to support greater uptake of higher education in the region.
"Minister Carr's announcement of new pathway opportunities is great news for the people of Gosford and the Central Coast. Expanding access to world-class higher education will benefit the whole region," the Vice-Chancellor said.
"The University of Newcastle has a long history of building educational capacity on the Central Coast. Through our campus at Ourimbah, we currently deliver sector-leading pathway programs to support students from all walks of life transitioning to higher education. Ourimbah also offers a wide range of degrees designed to meet the needs of the region," Professor McMillen said.
The University has already committed to complementing the Ourimbah campus by expanding its work in the Gosford CBD, in line with a landmark Memorandum of Understanding signed with the Central Coast Regional Development Corporation in 2012.
"Over the next year we will begin delivering our enabling pathway programs in central Gosford, helping students to transition successfully into higher education. We will also be establishing a Research and Innovation Hub to enable local businesses to partner with University researchers. Minister Carr's announcement today will allow us to go even further in meeting the needs of the Central Coast."
Professor McMillen said that Senator Carr's announcement was particularly important in the context of the need to expand higher education participation on the Central Coast. Less than 15% of 25-34 year-olds holds a Bachelors degree in the region, below state and national benchmarks, and well below the Bradley Review's target of 40% by 2025.
"The University leads Australia in the number of students enrolled in its enabling pathway programs and is the region's long term partner in building opportunity and participation. Supported by our pathway programs, enrolments at the Ourimbah campus have grown by 24% over the past five years. We are delighted that the Commonwealth shares our focus on expanding these pathways in Gosford."
"We are particularly committed to expanding opportunity among equity groups. The success of Newcastle's dedicated outreach activities and support programs has helped us achieve growth of 32% in enrolments at Ourimbah among students from disadvantaged backgrounds since 2008. We have also seen 33% growth in Indigenous student enrolments over that time. Both groups have been historically underrepresented in higher education, and the University of Newcastle is committed to closing that gap."
"The government's support for developing new pathways to university in Gosford will allow the University of Newcastle to bring world-class educational opportunities to even more people in the region. By harnessing our decades of engagement on the Central Coast and the University's existing commitment to expand in Gosford, Newcastle looks forward to partnering with the government in transforming the region."

Crane had a monster weekend with 47 points in two games as Flagler won both games in its region crossover tournament. The Kissimmee, Florida native scored a career-high 27 points coming off the bench in a season-opening win over Lincoln Memorial on Friday. She scored 11 of Flagler's 21 points in the first half alone. Her seven 3-pointers made tied a school record. Crane followed up that performance with a 20-point effort in a rout of Limestone, again coming off the bench. She made 62.5 percent of her shots from the field and drained 3-of-5 three-pointers. Crane leads the PBC in points, points per game, and 3-pointers made, is second in field goal percentage and 3-point field goal percentage, third in field goals made and free throws made, and fourth in free throw percentage.

The Unfiltered Guide to Working in Wine, by Hillary Zio. Xlibris.com (2016).
If you have ever considered pursuing a career in wine or even if you are a serious wine drinker interested in learning more, there is a plethora of options. Understanding which is the best avenue for achieving your goal can be daunting. It is often difficult to gage the veracity of information obtained online and few sources really fully define all of the opportunities. In her book, The Unfiltered Guide to Working in Wine, Hillary Zio helps her readers navigate the labyrinthine world of wine education, certification, and opportunity.
In an effort not to spoil Zio's best anecdote, I will just say that she was engaged tangentially in the fashion industry after college before deciding to break into the world of wine. Literally working her way up from the bottom, Zio gained experience and education along the way. There was little formal guidance available, so Zio navigated through the fog of rumor and misconception to work her way into the upper ranks of her industry.
The Unfiltered Guide to Working in Wine shares the lessons Zio learned along the way and organizes them into 112 pages of tips on everything from selecting the right program for certification to pursuing a career. There are outlines and examples for conducting wine education and even insights into the world of wine writing.
There was a definite need for Hillary Zio's book. The Unfiltered Guide to Working in Wine is a single source of practical advice based on personal experiences in the industry. It is an absolute must read for anyone with ambitions in the world of wine.

Nearly four months after Steven Soderbergh's massively long biopic, Che, debuted at Cannes, the film has finally found a North American distributor. After rumors that Mark Cuban's Magnolia was going to pick it up, the four-hour film was grabbed by IFC.
This is a major coup for the digital-friendly indie, which fended off better-known specialty divisions such as Sony Pictures Classics and Fox Searchlight. IFC's innovative day-and-date release strategy--in which its films run in theaters and on demand simultaneously--may also help attract an audience. After all, it's much easier to watch a four-hour drama if you can fast-forward through the boring parts.
Variety: IFC Films has picked up all North American distribution rights to Steven Soderbergh's two-part "Che," starring Benicio Del Toro, after Soderbergh tweaked and trimmed the two companion films post-Cannes.
IFC will release the epic Che Guevera biopic--which screened at the Toronto Film Fest this week--for a one-week qualifying awards run in December. Companion films will play in New York and Los Angeles.
In January, "Che" will be released through IFC In Theaters, the company's day-and-date distribution platform, meaning the biopic will be available at the same time in theaters and via video-on-demand. It also will be funneled through IFC's exclusive video rental deal with Blockbuster Video...
After "Che" debuted to mixed reaction at Cannes, Soderbergh's ambitious project was expected to go to Magnolia for domestic release.

UBS Foreclosure Help and Loan Modification
A lot of people already know that there are several loan modification programs that they can find but they are not able to take advantage of how they can be helped by it simply because they do not know how it works. And, they do not know too just how much information is necessary to help them. It is good to know that UBS is one of the banks that offers a lot of information that you need when it comes to refinancing your loans.
One of the good things worth knowing about UBS Bank is that they have their own loan modification program that has been tried and tested since the past and continues to offer the best results at present. The main goal of the bank for offering loan modification programs is to free borrowers from their daily stresses caused by their mortgage payments. Of course it is a well known fact that a lot of people are experiencing troubles when it comes to paying their dues and so the bank is here to help them cope with it. Those who are unable to pay for their mortgages can simply apply for this type of loan to make their finances much more flexible and thus easier to pay. This offers the borrower the option to improve their loan and not experience foreclosure.
There are several ways on how you can modify your loan under the UBS Bank. There is an option wherein you can amortize your payment and reduce its interest rates thus making it easier for you to settle your payments. With this, you will find that it would be easier for you to pay your monthly dues from now on. Know too that it is important to remember to negotiate with the bank and all negotiation should be centered on the fact that you want to improve your payment terms. Some people even consider hiring the services of a well trained attorney to help them out to make the application process much easier. This is a good option but you have to realize that it will also cause you to spend more money. So instead of hiring the service of an attorney, why not simply coordinate with the bank directly. Know that they would be more than willing to help you out.

The combined mechanism involving phonon and lochon (local charged boson) induced pairing of fermions developed earlier for cuprate superconductors is used to study the variation of the oxygen isotope effect (alpha(0)) in these systems. The recently observed results for some cuprates are in agreement with the calculated trend in which (alpha(0)) tends to larger value when the critical temperature (T-c) is reduced by appropriate doping. These results support the combined phononic and electronic (lochonic) mechanism for cuprates with the latter dominating in the higher T-c regions.

A lovely woodwind quartet and sangria topped off my evening. I have never had sangria before. I was really hoping it would taste like grape juice. It did not. I also saw some familiar faces! One was an old workmate who helped me maintain my sanity at one of my less-than-stellar "jobs." We worked 3rd shift and part of that experience was that every night the Spinners' "Rubber Band Man" played on the radio. I should have requested the tune from the quartet.
|Imagine these instruments with people attached to them.
Having shared all of the above, I also must bid "good-bye" to HANGIN' ON. She was sold this evening. I was fortunate enough to meet the person who purchased her also. Oddly enough, I was doing an imitation of my oldest daughter at one of my other shows... when she stood in front of one of my drawings and shouted, "I LOVE THIS! IT'S THE BEST PIECE IN HERE!"
So... there I was - in front of HANGING' ON and re-enacting the story for my on-lookers. She saw me do this. *ahem*
*HANGIN' ON: Created during the severe illness of one of my rabbits. It illustrates a point of coming to terms with "letting go" or "hanging on". The red balloon is, traditionally, a symbol for the soul. It became a self-study of learning to "give death" when the time had seemingly arrived. Whether it is good or bad to hang on or let go... I know not. The rabbit is still with me. The illustration has found a new home.

NBC Renews 'Smash' for Second Season
NBC has renewed its rookie drama Smash for a second season, the network announced Thursday.
Smash, about the staging of a Broadway musical, is averaging a 2.6 rating with adults 18-49 and 7.7 million total viewers in its first season, making it NBC's top drama. The network heavily promoted the drama's premeire in its Super Bowl coverage in February, and it has the benfit of NBC top lead-in, The Voice.
The series is NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt's second pick-up for the 2012-13 season, joining fellow freshman drama Grimm, which NBC renewed last week.
While the first season centers around the workshopping of a musical about Marilyn Monroe, with series stars Katharine McPhee and Megan Hilty vying for the lead role, Smash creator Theresa Rebeck said at the TCA press tour in January that season two would follow the mounting of the show on Broadway.

Thom Mayne and Bjarke Ingels in Conversation
At a forum hosted by the New York Landmarks Preservation Foundation on May 5, Bjarke Ingels and Thom Mayne discussed the theme "Public Works" with architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff.
Ingels and Mayne approached the topic from disparate perspectives: At 41, Danish architect Ingels is on a career high and bursting with projects on a variety of scales that he hopes will greatly impact their cities; Pritzker Prize–winning Mayne, at 72, has an additional 30 years of experience that seems to have left him weary of making overarching, glowing promises.
