About Svenska Folkdansringen
Swedish Folklore Association (Svenska Folkdansringen), was founded 1920 and has more than 350 groups all over Sweden. 15.000 members of all ages pursue activities covering our original folk culture, mainly focused on dance, music, traditional costumes and handicraft.
We strongly believe that the elderly generations shall be able to share their knowledge of their own and their ancestor's culture with the younger generations in a natural way. This is best achieved through normal association between the generations in day to day activities, as dance practices, travels and other arrangements the dance groups arrange. During dance practices we, by practical and pedagogical reasons, work in various ages groups.
The Folkdance
We are most known through the folk dance. Dance is an extensive field of subject, in which the members gain a broad knowledge. The dance groups not only activate their own members, but also pursue widespread public activities with courses, performances and festivals.
In various courses we study the history and development of our dance heritage. In conferences and exchanges between groups the dancers meet to learn from each other and to exchange experiences. Dancing gives, apart from exercise, also knowledge of your own body and how you control it in rhythmic movements.
The Folk music
We emphasize the combination between dance and music. Musicians active within our organisation participate in courses, seminaries, fiddler meetings and performances. Many of the groups also have their own groups of musicians.
The Zorn badge
We are responsible for the Zorn badge, an appreciated badge issued to merited musicians. The Zorn badge is the visible part of the gift that Emma Zorn handed over to Swedish Folklore Association more than 60 years ago. Through yearly auditions for this badge the musicians are stimulated to preserve a genuine folkloric tradition. The musician that has earned the Zorn badge in silver has also the right to call her-/himself riksspelman (musician of the country).
During the 1990's the interest for folk music increased considerably, not least among the youth. This trend has continued thanks to numerous courses, often under the production bySwedish Folklore Association. Here the interested persons can learn how to build their own instrument, to play it, take care of if and enter deeply in the history of the instrument and the music.
National costumes
By learning the history of our national costumes, their social function and how they have been carried at different occasions through the past, we want to create an understanding for the national costume as such, but also show that the national costume has had a considerable meaning for unifying the districts. Dresses, marking social affiliation as such are not a new phenomenon. A continuous research is ongoing to document the national costumes and practices around it in many areas of our country. Ww also cooperate with other organisations for domestic crafts.
Handicraft is an activity with close relations to the national costumes. But there are much more in handicraft and old traditional crafts. By stimulating creativity and fantasy it will be natural to preserve the old methods of crafts, learn the techniques and to keep them alive for the future. Craft methods as weaving, sewing, vegetable dyeing, silver forging, casting, straw craft and woodwork are some examples of areas where our members are active.
Manners and customs
In many groups and districts there are sections working both with old habits as well as practice of today. Research, chronicles and education has resulted in an extensive material for education and several books. We have published this material ourselves, and in cooperation with other publishers and institutes.
Our groups have freedom to act within the different areas of the organisation. This means that all groups have not the same activities. Mutual influence, comradeship, fellowship and understanding give freedom to create broad activities with many different subjects and fashion of the groups.
Exchanges and travels are popular activities. Every year there are tours to folk dance and folk music festivals both within Sweden and abroad. Destinations vary but through good international contacts there are travels and exchanges all over the world. These festivals, meetings and even conferences render rich opportunities to meet with other people, take part in their culture and share our own with them. This creates a basis for understanding over all borders.
International activities
We are a member of various international organisations. In the Nordic cooperation we work in the NORDLEKRÅDET – the Nordic folk dance and folk music cooperation committee. Every third year this organisation arranges a Nordic folklore and fiddler meeting called NORDLEK.
Outside the Nordic countries the cooperation is carried out within the Swedish Section of CIOFF (International Council of Organizations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Arts) that is an international organisation for festivals and folklore. Through these two organisations we also get in contact with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Information and contact

Hard drive cooling
With almost no airflow on them at the moment, my top HD runs at 50C and the one immedately below it runs at 49C. Both are 10 to 15C hotter than I'd like (per Google's research paper on HD temperatures - ideal is < 40C). Thinking about mounting a large diameter quiet fan next to the power supply to blow directly on them. Here's some options:

Posted 04/04/2012 - Viewed 5861 time(s)
Following on from the success of its inaugural event last December the second Invest & Manage Airports event will take place in London on 18-19 October 2012. Invest & Manage Airports is the meeting place where airports, airlines, airport operators and infrastructure investors meet to discuss new opportunities for investment in and management of airports from across the world.
Now in its second year, Invest & Manage offers a combination of keynote speaker & panel discussion programmes and one-to-one private meetings, supported by Opportunity Briefings and Networking within the Investor / Airport community.
The event is hosted by the organisers of Routes - The World and Regional Route Development Forums, and follows Routes' successful format of prescheduled one-to-one meetings. These meetings will allow real business to be done between airports seeking investment and management expertise, investors who are looking for airport infrastructure opportunities, and airport operators who are aiming to extend their portfolio of managed assets around the world.
Discussing the 2011 event Jaime Guillen, CEO of Faros Infrastructure Partners said: "Invest & Manage provided an excellent format to explore the issues and opportunities between airports, airlines, and investors. Other conferences tend to separate these topics Invest & Manage brought them together and resulted in some very interesting discussions and ideas."
Many high level industry experts have already confirmed their participation in the speaker programme for 2012 including Michael McGhee, CEO of Global Infrastructure Partners, Ken Crawford, Head of Aviation for The Scottish Government and Jaime Daly, CEO of Latin American Airport Holdings. Keynote addresses will be given by Professor. John Kasarda Ph.D, Director of Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise and Derek Hendry, Construction Director at London Gatwick Airport with many more industry leaders expected to confirm their participation soon.
Dave Stroud, Executive Vice President Airports at organiser UBM Aviation stated "Invest and Manage is a unique event occurring at a vital time in the current economic environment. Many investors are looking for long-term investment opportunities in infrastructure assets, governments are increasingly seeking ways to develop services from their core infrastructure assets, increase jobs and stimulate trade All parties need to hear from the assets biggest customers, the airlines, we are bringing them together in a unique and innovative way."
In addition, a busy programme of targeted Opportunity Briefings will be held which allow airports to present investment or privatisation opportunities, and allow investors to brief a wider industry audience on their objectives and plans.

Just want to let you know that I have not forgotten about Photo Art Friday - in fact, I've been giving it a lot of thought. I struggled with making the decision, but have decided to continue the hiatus of PAF.
The medication that helped get rid of my chronic cough has started to cause some unexpected side effects. Health issues are such a drag aren't they? I know many of you are struggling with your own.
Anyway, just feel I have enough on my plate for the moment. I will give you lots of notice when I am ready to get it going again. That will probably be when I 'get it going again'! :) Apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment caused by this decision. :(
I haven't even been painting for the last couple of weeks due to these health issues, but I did post some of my latest paintings here. These are a few of my favourites:

And it made us shriek with joy. Really.
The thing is not only do Shingo, Cathy and Mona share an excitement for our books, our ethos and get that our books are designed so that the design is an integral part of the storytelling itself, as opposed to just being decorative. That's already amazing. But they're also planning to showcase all of our books, films, posters, and tote bags in a little Visual Editions event they're hosting in their Tokyo flagship store in May and June this year. Wow.
Who was it that said that fans are the life blood of any creative business? Well, as big time fans of all things Japanese, we're chuffed to bits that we can count the team on the 6th floor of Tokyo's Kinokuniya as one of ours.
Thank you Shingo, Cathy, Mona and all. Let's roll out lots of ideas for showcasing Visual Editions to your Tokyo-base and see if we can earn the fandom of some more in the process.
PS If you happen to be in Tokyo in May or June, check it out here. And send us some pics too. We'd love that.

Kenny Chesney is set to receive the Pinnacle Award at the Country Music Association (CMA) Awards.
Kenny Chesney is set to receive the Pinnacle Award at the Country Music Association (CMA) Awards.
The 48-year-old country superstar will be honoured with the award during the award at the glitzy ceremony on Wednesday (02.11.16), and will be the third ever recipient after Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift.
The Pinnacle Award was created in 2005, and aims to recognise artists who have achieved global prominence through record sales and performances.
For Kenny, the Pinnacle Award will mark his ninth win at the ceremony, and he can already boast an impressive four gongs for Entertainer of the Year.
Over his expansive career, the 'Come Over' hitmaker has recorded a whopping 16 studio albums and scored 28 chart-topping country songs. His total record sales to date exceed 30 million albums. His new album, 'Cosmic Hallelujah' will be released on Friday (28.10.16) and includes a duet with pop superstar Pink on the track 'Setting The World on Fire'.
The news comes after Kenny - who is considered one of music's greatest touring acts - recently revealed he would not be touring in 2017 after a mammoth 160 shows in 18 months.
He said: ''We're going to pull back just a little bit [from the road]. The last two years have been so intense; we've done 160 shows in an 18-month period. So I felt, with the new music, I want the fans to digest it and let it seep into their lives a little bit.
''So next year, we'll do five or six shows, we don't know how many yet, but other than that, we'll let this new music find its way. Then the next year, we'll crank it up again.''
The CMA Awards will air live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, on November 2.
After nearly thirty years since his first solo record Mark Lanegan has just released one of his very best and there's not many artists who can claim...

Exactly what is Ketosis?
Ketosis Forces your body to get its energy by burning fat instead of carbs.
When you've reached a state of Ketosis, your body begins automatically burning fat for its energy instead of carbs.
Carbohydrates are not the optimum energy source for your body, so until we reach a state of ketosis, we are generally left feeling tired, under tension and low-energy by the end of each day.
Fat Is the body's optimum energy source. So when your body reaches ketosis you'll find your energy boosts, and you'll feel more concentrated than before, even late into the day.
Keto Facebook

How does my body get BHB?
While your body produces really small quantities of BHB, it doesn't produce huge enough amounts to quickly lead to a ketosis state. Therefore many individuals decide to supplement BHB in their diet plans. Purefit Keto is a popular and highly effective dietary supplement utilized to achieve this,.
What are the advantages of Purefit Keto?

fCoder Group, Inc. has developed two programs to make bulk printing documents a breeze! With Print Conductor and 2Printer companies can increase efficiency and ultimately decrease costs.
Print Conductor enables companies to print documents in bulk with a single mouse click. Simply add all the documents you want printed to a list within Print Conductor and let the software do the rest.
Using Print Conductor
Employees no longer have to open and print each document one at a time. Now, with Print Conductor, employees can print all their documents at once. Print Conductor even allows users to schedule a print job. Now your employees don't even need to be at work to print their documents. Instead, the bulk printing job can be scheduled for at night or for when electricity is least expensive.
Print Conductor supports dozens of file formats. This includes PDF, Microsoft Office, AutoDesk AutoCAD, image files, and much more. Print Conductor also allows users to print a specific range of pages, omit specific pages, collate pages, print a cover page, and so on.
Print Conductor Compatibility
Print Conductor is also compatible with all types of printers. Employees can print documents in bulk with a desktop printer, a network printer, and even a virtual printer. All of these features result in companies being able to bulk printing documents more efficiently than ever before.
Another product from fCoder Group, Inc. that also supports printing documents in bulk is 2Printer. It is very similar to Print Conductor, with the major difference being 2Printer is accessed via a command line prompt. This makes 2Printer very popular and easy to use for system administrators, software developers and IT departments.
Like Print Conductor, 2Printer is also compatible with any type of printer. The number of documents employees can print in bulk is also unlimited.
Scheduling Bulk Printing
2Printer can also save companies money by configuring it to work with Windows Task Scheduler. A company's administrators can configure 2Printer to bulk print documents at any time of day or any day of the week. Imagine, all your bulk printing jobs can take place on the weekend and all the documents you need will be ready first thing Monday morning.
System administrators can also create script files to automate the bulk printing of documents saved in specific folders. This is very easy to do because Windows batch file syntax is very simple. All an administrator needs to do is create a new file in Notepad, paste the line below and save the file as "test.bat".
2Printer.exe -s "C:\Input\*.PDF" -prn "Xerox 2050" -copies 5
Now when a user double clicks this BAT file, 5 copies of each PDF file, stored in the folder "C:\Input" will be automatically printed to the "Xerox 2050" printer. Administrators can use this template to set up batch jobs to print documents in any folder on a computer.
Ease of Use
This means a company's employees don't need training on any specific software or user interface. Instead, employees only need to place documents into a specific folder and 2Printer will bulk print the documents in the manner, and at the day/time, the administrator configured it.
Administrators, developers, and other IT professionals can also use VB-script, CMD and PHP files to create scripts. Developers and even embed code into their software to bulk print documents.
Together, Print Conductor and 2Printer give companies more capabilities and enable more efficiencies than ever before. Bulk printing documents has never been easier!

About me and my therapy practice
Sometimes life, family or work related pressures, traumatic events, loss, or debilitating anxiety or depression become overwhelming. This is often when we stop being who we want to be, stop living life the way we want to live and sometimes we need some help to get ourselves back on track.
I provide counselling help and support to individuals; a confidential, safe place to talk, a space to 'be', to explore your thoughts and emotional reactions to events - past and present. Counselling provides an opportunity to find peace, or perhaps clarity, to understand and potentially make sense of hard to handle feelings such as sadness, guilt, shame, anger or vulnerability, feelings that may be dominating - and find a way forward.
I am the owner of an established Private Practice, The Good Therapy Works. Here I offer a range of therapies and treatments to support mental and physical wellbeing.
As a professionally qualified counsellor I'm here to listen and hear your story, from your perspective; here to support you and also offer techniques which could help you manage some of the debilitating effects of anxiety and depression. My approach has its foundations in humanistic and existential philosophies, its proactive and dynamic, blended to meet your needs. You and your life events are what makes you unique so each session holds you and our therapeutic relationship at its core, supporting your self-discovery to help find a place from which you can grow and change.
What I can help with
Eating disorders, Obsessions, OCD, Phobias, Abuse, Anxiety, Bereavement, Depression, Loss, Post-traumatic stress, Trauma, Business coaching, Career coaching, Executive coaching, Leadership coaching, Life coaching, Personal development, Cancer, Health related issues, Self esteem, Sexual identity, Child related issues, Infertility, Pregnancy related issues, Relationships, Anger management, Redundancy, Stress, Work related issues
Types of therapy
Creative therapy, Existential, Humanistic, Integrative, Person centred, Play therapy, Relational, Solution focused brief therapy, Systemic, Transactional analysis
Clients I work with

ITHACA, N.Y. – Despite a late match rally, the No. 29 men's tennis team suffered a 4-3 loss in a hard-fought battle against Cornell today, April 15, at the Reis Tennis Center. The Crimson dipped to 3-2 in conference play and a 19-5 overall mark, while the Big Red improved to 1-3 in Ivy play.
Doubles play was a battle as Harvard dropped the point for only the fifth time this season, giving Cornell an early 1-0 advantage. Christopher Morrow and Grant Solomon prevailed in a tiebreaker on court two to edge out Joseph McAllister and David Volfson, 7-6, and split the doubles competition after the Big Red struck first in the No. 3 spot. With the deciding point sitting on court one, Cornell was able to clinch the lead with a 7-6 tiebreak win.
The Big Red then doubled its advantage at the start of singles play, claiming a 6-2, 6-3 victory in the No. 3 spot. Cornell would then make it a 3-0 lead, pushing past the Crimson on court five for a 6-3, 6-4 win.
Junior Andy Zhou came through with Harvard's first point of the day on court two with a three-set triumph over Alafia Ayeni, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2, to ensue a comeback as the Crimson would go on to take three straight matches. Robert Wrzesinski fended off Daniel Grunberger in the No. 4 spot, 7-6, 7-6, to make it 3-2, before Kenny Tao took down Volfson in the top spot, 6-3, 2-6, 6-4 to tie the match.
Despite taking the first set 6-3, sophomore Galen Lee was defeated on court six as McAllister reeled off back-to-back wins in set two and three to clinch the match for the Big Red.

The Crimson will close out the season at home next weekend, April 21-22, hosting Princeton and Penn on the Ivy League Network.

Facebook develops conversion tracking tool
Facebook plans to add a conversion tracking tool to its suite of advertising products based on demand from the marketplace. The platform will allow marketers to track clicks through conversion.
The conversion tracking tool being tested by a "handful†of Facebook advertisers doesn't have a launch date, but Boland believes it should become available sometime before the end of March. A JavaScript snippet will go into the Web page. Marketers will have an option to set up multiple tags to track numerous conversions.
Reports will provide a list of tracked conversions and the impressions and the clicks that led to each. The feature will help marketers build out messages as the campaign expands into a variety of pieces.

Drupal is an excellent choice for a content management system (CMS). However, many people only see it as a simple CMS, a site to build a landing page or two. But Drupal is much more than that. Not only is Drupal easy to theme, it's got a wide range of built in functionality and a large community powering the popular CMS.
One of the great things about Drupal is that you can build almost any sort of site that you can imagine, with the help of a couple modules. Want to go beyond the basics of a simple CMS? Drupal has an excellent API that allows you to extent nearly any aspect of the software. In fact, many people have started to talk about using Drupal as a framework, as it's robust, well written, handles lots of traffic, and has a large and helpful community.
So, if you're thinking about building your next big site, here are a few ways that you can take existing modules and turn a project quickly, without needing to make any custom modules.
A quick note: I don't think it's a great idea to make exact clones of existing sites and slap a new name on them. Clones hardly become as popular as the original site. This article is merely to show the power of Drupal and what can be done with limited time and no development budget.
There's plenty of Digg clone software out there, but it's pretty simple to make a site that allows users to submit links to content, vote, comment and moderate the submitted links. It's even easier when that functionality is all wrapped up into a single module. Drigg creates an identical voting site that allows users to add web links, vote on them, share stories, and many more features.
This is one of the most obvious and common uses for Drupal, but that doesn't mean it's not important. Drupal comes primed for blogging straight out of the box, and there are many modules available that can enhance the commenting and overall blogging functionality.
For those of you wanting a site that can showcase lots of information like Yahoo! or some of the other news portals, Drupal has you covered. Thanks to an excellent module called Views and some custom categories, you can quickly create many different types of content and display them in different ways on the homepage. Views is an indispensable module for a Drupal site. It's a rare occasion that I'm not using the module on a site that I'm developing.
Here is where I think Drupal shines brighter than most (if not all) content management systems. Drupal has an excellent user management system, user profiles and even OpenID right out of the box. It also has modules that can connect to Twitter, Facebook, and it's easy to connect to other authentication gateways with the use of custom modules.
Drupal also has a stellar module called Organic Groups that allows users to "organize†themselves into groups. Each group can have it's own homepage, blocks, themes, taxonomy and more.
If you're wanting to build a site specifically for a cause or organization, Drupal makes that easy as well. Aside from the Organic Groups plugin and other community-friendly features, there's a donation module that accepts payments from Paypal, and shows the donating users on a donation page.
CiviCRM (demo) is a constituent relationship management solution module that was specifically created for advocacy and non-profit groups. Over 5,000 organizations use CiviCRM, and it's well-supported and has many sub-modules for more specific advocacy needs.
Another great Drupal module for developing an awareness site is the Connect module. Connect allows you to easily create petitions, emails or fax campaigns.
Yeah, yeah… the world doesn't need another Twitter clone, right? Well, I tend to disagree. The concept of sites and communities built around short, cross-platform messaging systems are a phenomena that just aren't going away any time soon. With Drupal, it could be just as easy. Drupal's Microblog module copies most of the features of Twitter. Micro-messaging, following users and public timelines.
File storage sites like Drop.io or Box.net could be created with Drupal and the help of a module like Media Mover. Media Mover allows you to take uploaded files and copy them over to Amazon S3, the highly-scalable data storage system.
Photo sites like Flickr and Photobucket could also be created with the Image module and Views. The Image module gives users the ability to upload images, and then creates thumbnails and galleries from the uploads. Users could also comment on the photos using the built-in commenting functionality.
It turns out that making a bookmarking site like Delicious is fairly trivial in Drupal. There are several options for modules that give users the ability to post bookmarks to their Drupal account.
If you're wanting to build a video sharing site like YouTube, Drupal has some modules that can greatly help with that. FlashVideo adds functionality to convert uploaded files to flash, and then moves them over to Amazon S3 if desired. FlashVideo also provides the ability to embed the videos, just like the big boys.
Trying to recreate the powerhouse's ecommerce dominance is a tall order, but if any CMS is capable of it, Drupal is. Drupal has a few stellar ecommerce modules like Ecommerce and Ubercart. Both of these modules have an extensive feature list that make it easier to create an ecommerce powerhouse.
Creating a social aggregation site with Drupal is easy enough with the excellent Activity Stream module. Activity Steam allows you to pull in user's activity on social sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Qik, StumbleUpon and many others.
If you're wanting to start a blog host like Blogger or WordPress.com, Drupal is easily equipped to do that. Drupal has a blog module that comes shipped with the package, and it allows every site member the ability to have a blog.
Blog networks like Performancing and WiseBread rely on Drupal to power their networks. This requires the use of the built-in blog module. Member's blog posts all end up on the homepage of the site by default, and you could modify how the member's blogs looked with the help of the Views module.
I built the LifeRemix network site with Drupal and a single module to aggregate all of our blogger's posts. The site updates itself without any monitoring from me.
By utilizing the excellent Activity Stream module, it would be quite easy to build a FriendFeed clone. As Drupal already comes shipped with an awesome set of user and profile modules, a quick Friendfeed clone could be made in a matter of hours, depending on your design skills.
Use your imagination! These are by no means the only uses for the popular CMS. I'd love to hear more examples of sites built with Drupal, or possible sites that I've left off the list.

Steps to Take after a Car Crash
Your emotions are going to be strong after a car accident. It's important to remember this, and to watch what you say and who you say it to as a result. Making claims or blaming someone for the accident could not only get you in trouble, it could cost you money. Instead, direct your energy toward doing what you can to make your potential case go smoothly, by:
- Calling 9-1-1
- Checking everyone for serious injuries
- Removing vehicles and debris from the road
- Swapping contact and insurance information with the other driver(s)
- Writing down notes about how and where the accident happened
- Photographing injuries and damaged vehicles
- Calling your insurance agent to let them know you were in a crash
- Contacting a Hebron, OH car accident lawyer
Remember, stay calm. It will be ok, especially if the attorneys at Colombo Law are on your team.
2016 Ohio Car Accident Statistics
The most recent statistics on Ohio car accidents come from last year, when:
- 305,964 accidents resulted in 112,331 injuries and 1,133 deaths
- Children under 14 accounted for 8,866 of the total injuries
- 11,958 accidents were alcohol-related
- Ohio roads averaged 306.9 injuries and 3.1 fatalities per day
- 66.4 percent of accidents happened during daylight hours
- And an 18.3 percent majority of accidents were due to the driver failing to control their car
Hebron, Ohio Car Accident Statistics
In Hebron, OH in 2016, there were:
- 43 total car accidents
- 13 injuries and no deaths
- 80 vehicles damaged
- 2 alcohol related accidents that caused 3 injuries
Ohio Car Insurance Requirements
All Ohio drivers are required to carry minimum liability insurance in the amounts of:
- $25,000 bodily injury per person
- $50,000 bodily injury per accident involving more than one injured person
- $25,000 for property damage
Who Pays for Damages After a Hebron, Ohio Car Accident?
Ohio uses an at-fault insurance system, so the driver who caused your accident, and their insurance company, are the ones responsible for paying for your expenses.
If the at-fault driver's insurance policy limits are too low, and you have underinsured motorist coverage (UIM), you can also seek compensation that way. If you don't have UIM however, you may want to consult an attorney about seeking compensation from the at-fault party directly.
How Ohio Handles Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
There are plenty of people who neglect to follow the rules by refusing to purchase car insurance. These people can be punished by:
- Receiving 90 days (for a first offense) to 1 year (for a repeat offence) of driver's license suspension
- Being charged $75 ( for a first offence) to $500 (for a repeat offence) in reinstatement fees
- Having their plates and/or vehicle seized
- Being required to obtain and prove they have car insurance
Unfortunately, their punishment doesn't mean you get the money you need to cover your expenses. The only way to get the settlement you may be entitled to from an underinsured or uninsured motorist is by purchasing uninsured motorist coverage (UM) or uninsured motorist coverage (UIM). Here's how those coverages work:
Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage makes sure you're compensated if you're in an accident with an at-fault driver who has no car insurance.
Underinsured motorist coverage (UIM) reimburses you if the at-fault driver's policy limits aren't high enough to cover your expenses.
An example of this would be if you were in an accident that wasn't your fault and your damages add up to $100,000. Since it's not your fault, the at-fault party's insurance has to pay you, but they are limited by the policy to paying only $50,000. With UIM coverage, once the at-fault party's insurance provider pays up to the limit of the policy, your UIM will pay the remaining $50,000.Get Help NowNo Obligation - 100% Private
The Risks of Underinsured Motorist Coverage
UIM is a nuanced system with some learning curves. The two most important things you need to know are:
- You can't make use of your UIM coverage until the at-fault party's insurance policy limits have been exhausted; AND
- You have to tell your UIM provider that you want to settle with the at-fault party, before you begin the settlement process.
If you don't know these two things, and you don't have a Hebron, OH car accident lawyer to help you,you could risk losing your UIM coverage completely. Once you know these things and follow the appropriate steps, your insurance provider will:
- Allow you to settle by waiving subrogation; OR
- Decline to subrogate in favor of writing a check themselves for the amount of the at-fault party's insurance coverage
Is Underinsured/Uninsured Motorist Coverage Worth it?
Absolutely. You can't control who you are involved in a car accident with, and there's always a chance that person could be underinsured or uninsured. If that happens, and you don't have UIM or UM, there's no guarantee you'll get compensation from the at-fault underinsured or uninsured driver.
What Kind of Compensation Can I Get After a Car Accident?
If you were in an accident that wasn't your fault, you could seek compensation from the at-fault party or their insurance company for things like:
- Pain and suffering
- Property Damage
- Physical injuries
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement
- Inconvenience
- Medical expenses and equipment
- Emotional trauma
- Lost income
- Loss of future earning ability
- Loss of companionship
- Wrongful death
Should I Hire a Hebron, Ohio Car Accident Lawyer or Not?
There are several reasons to consider hiring a Hebron, OH car accident lawyer. The first is that the statute of limitations in Ohio for property damage and personal injury is only two years. Since legal battles can become lengthy, it's a good idea to have an attorney who knows the system and can help the process go smoothly.
Next, you have to consider that you may not have the knowledge or time to handle your case on your own. It is possible, but it may be better to hire a lawyer with education and experience who can give you a greater chance of a successful settlement.
Finally, you may not have all the resources to do the things before a settlement or trial that can help your case. For example, lawyers have to gather things like:
- Police reports
- Medical records
- CCTV footage and phone call records
- Interviews with insurance adjustors
- Witnesses
- Expert witnesses
- Information on automobile defects or recalls
Hebron, Ohio Car Accident Lawyers

"I feel like
It was the weekend of Sept. 13, and the moment Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. had feared for months was finally upon him:
Knowing that Lehman had billions of dollars in bad investments on its books, Mr. Paulson had long urged Lehman's chief executive,
But Lehman could not — despite what Mr. Paulson described as personal pleas to other firms to buy some of Lehman's toxic assets and efforts to persuade another bank to acquire Lehman. With all options closed, he said, the government's hands were tied. Although the
"We didn't have the powers," Mr. Paulson insisted, explaining a decision that many have since criticized — to allow Lehman to go bankrupt. By law, he continued, the Federal Reserve could bail out Lehman with a loan only if the bank had enough good assets to serve as collateral, which it did not.Continue reading the main story
"If someone thinks Hank Paulson could have made the Fed save Lehman Brothers, the answer is, 'No way,' " he said.
But that is not the way that many who have scrutinized his actions see it. Bankers involved say they do not recall Mr. Paulson talking about Lehman's impaired collateral. And they said that buyers walked away for one reason: because they could not get the same kind of government backing that facilitated the Bear Stearns deal. In retrospect, they added, it was emblematic of the miscalculations by the government in reacting to the crisis.
The day after Lehman collapsed, the Fed saved A.I.G. with an emergency $85 billion loan, but the credit markets around the world began freezing up anyway. It was at this point that Mr. Paulson — feeling outgunned by pursuers, like Butch and Sundance — decided he had to find a systemic solution and stop lurching from crisis to crisis, fixing one company's problems only to find several more right behind.
"Ben said, 'Will you go to Congress with me?' " said Mr. Paulson, referring to the Federal Reserve chairman,
Seeing a Problem Earlier
In nearly a century, no Treasury secretary has faced a more difficult
"I could have seen the subprime problem coming earlier," he acknowledged in the interview, quickly adding in his own defense, "but I'm not saying I would have done anything differently."
History will be the final judge. But in contrast with Mr. Paulson's perspective, other government officials and financial executives suggest that Treasury's epic rescue efforts have evolved as chaotically as the crisis itself. Especially in the past month, as the financial system teetered on the abyss, questions have been raised about the government's — and Mr. Paulson's — decisions. Executives on Wall Street and officials in European financial capitals have criticized Mr. Paulson and Mr. Bernanke for allowing Lehman to fail, an event that sent shock waves through the banking system, turning a financial
"For the equilibrium of the world financial system, this was a genuine error," Christine Lagarde,
In addition, Mr. Paulson and Mr. Bernanke have been criticized for squandering precious time and political capital with their original
But even after the House finally passed the bill on Oct. 3, markets remained in turmoil. It was not until
In the interview, Mr. Paulson said that even before the House acted, he had directed his staff to start drawing up a plan for using some of the $700 billion to recapitalize the banking system — something that Congress was never told and that he had publicly opposed.
Why? Because in the week before the plan passed Congress, conditions deteriorated significantly, Mr. Paulson said.
But many complain the worst of the turmoil might have been avoided if it hadn't been for Mr. Paulson sticking with an original bailout plan that they viewed as poorly conceived and unworkable. "They were asking the most basic questions," said one Wall Street executive who spoke to Treasury officials after the bailout bill was passed. "It was clear they hadn't thought it through." Senator
Even as he defended his actions, Mr. Paulson said he was worried that some of the government's moves could wind up haunting future Treasury secretaries. He pointed in particular to the decision to guarantee all bank deposits and interbank loans, something the United States did to keep pace with similar decisions in
But the federal guarantees could create "moral hazard" and simply encourage banks to take on dangerous risk, he acknowledged. "This is the last thing I wanted to do," he said.
Summer of Eroding Conditions
The subprime mortgage debacle began emerging in the summer of 2007, about a year after Mr. Paulson left his job as head of
"We thought there was a reasonable chance of getting through this," he recalled.
Then came the near failure in March of Bear Stearns, which was rescued in a takeover by
With increasing speed, other problems emerged, most notably Lehman and A.I.G., which was also burdened with bad mortgage-related investments. Both became the focus of intense meetings the weekend of Sept. 13-14.
Mr. Paulson, by then, had become frustrated with what he perceived as Mr. Fuld's foot-dragging. "Lehman announced bad earnings around the middle of June, and we told Fuld that if he didn't have a solution by the time he announced his third-quarter earnings, there would be a serious problem," Mr. Paulson said. "We pressed him to get a buyer."
Here the views of Mr. Paulson and his critics start to diverge, over what transpired in marathon meetings with Wall Street executives at the
Lehman officials said they believed the firm had not one but two potential buyers:
Barclays also wanted a guarantee to protect against losses should Lehman's business worsen before Barclays could compete its takeover.
The government initially was not clear in telling Bank of America and Barclays that no help would be forthcoming, participants said. The New York Fed president,
It remains unclear whether a more consistent message would have changed the outcome. But by Saturday, Bank of America, frustrated by the government's unwillingness to commit to a deal, turned its attention to
Mr. Paulson said in the interview that Treasury was not at fault. The $10 billion industry fund had not worked because executives in the room realized that bailing out Lehman would not end the crisis. There were too many other firms that needed help. "I didn't want to see Lehman go," Mr. Paulson said. "I understood the consequences better than anybody."
At a White House briefing on Sept. 15, Mr. Paulson shed no tears over Lehman's failure. "I never once considered it appropriate to put taxpayer money on the line in resolving Lehman Brothers," he told reporters.
In the interview, however, Mr. Paulson said the main issue was whether it was legal. Under the law, the Fed has the authority to lend to any nonbank, but only if the loan is "secured to the satisfaction of the Federal Reserve bank." When pressed about why it was legal for the Fed to lend billions of dollars to Bear Stearns and A.I.G. but not Lehman Brothers, Mr. Paulson emphasized that Lehman's bad assets created "a huge hole" on its balance sheet. By contrast, he said, Bear Stearns and A.I.G. had more trustworthy collateral.
People close to Lehman, however, say it was never told this by the government. "The Fed and the S.E.C. had their people on site at Lehman during 2008," said a person in the Lehman camp. "The government saw everything in real time involving Lehman's liquidity, funding, capital, risk management and marks — and never expressed any concerns about collateral or a hole in the balance sheet."
The aftermath of the Lehman bankruptcy was disastrous. "Lehman was one of the single largest issuers of
In response, Mr. Paulson said that only now that the bailout bill has been passed does the government have the authority to intervene in a nonbank failure in cases of firms that lack adequate collateral, like Lehman.
A Difficult Sell
Lehman's failure was followed by another strategic misstep by Treasury, critics say. They assert that Mr. Paulson initially pushed the wrong systemic fix: a bailout plan that revolved around buying up toxic securities, rather than putting capital into the banking system, a far more direct way of providing assistance.
Mr. Paulson rejects this view. In the interview, he cited several reasons he and Mr. Bernanke concentrated initially on purchasing distressed assets. First, he said, this plan had been in the works for months and was much further developed. "If we had felt going in that the right way to deal with the problem was to put equity in, we would have taken some time and developed a program," he said.
He also worried that Congress would not be receptive to the idea of Treasury taking an ownership stake in banks: "This is a very complicated and difficult sell. We want to put equity in, but we don't want to nationalize the banks. And I don't know how to sell that."
But he doesn't dispute that he changed direction. Mr. Paulson said that by Oct. 2, as he was departing for a weekend getaway to an island with his family — his first weekend off in nearly two months — he told his staff, "We are going to put capital into banks first."
Although the bailout bill still had not passed, the financial markets had deteriorated. He did not, however, inform Congress of his change of heart, and the House debate revolved almost entirely around the asset-purchase plan.
Just 11 days later, Treasury had come up with a plan to inject capital into the banks — which Mr. Paulson sold to the nation's nine largest financial institutions on Oct. 13. "I can imagine being dinged for some things," he said, "but not for moving that quickly."
He also defended Treasury's recapitalization plan against critics who say that he did not extract a high enough price from the banks getting taxpayers' money. "I could not see the United States doing things like putting in capital on a punitive basis that hurts investors. And we don't want to run banks."
The Global Extent
Asked what he might have done better, Mr. Paulson replied, "I could have made a better case to the public."
He added, "I never felt worse than when the House voted no" on the bailout plan Sept. 26, its initial rejection before ultimately passing the plan.
As for Lehman, Mr. Paulson insisted that it was "a symptom and not a cause" of the financial meltdown that took place in recent weeks. The real problem, he contended, is that banks all over the world made wrong-headed loans that have now come back to haunt them. After meeting recently with European central bankers, he said, "the thing that took your breath away was the extent of the problem. Look at country after country that said they didn't have a problem, and it turned out they had a huge problem."
Mr. Paulson added, "No one will, 10 years from now, write the story that this crisis was about Lehman Brothers going down."Continue reading the main story

While MCI vice-president Dr CV Bhirmanandham said, "The state authorities should initiate action against the two colleges for violating MCI norms and running illegal courses," the colleges maintain they have not violated any norm. "All students need eligibility certificate to leave India and study MBBS. Since these institutions are not recognised, the students wont get the certificate. They cant sit for the screening test here after the course and so they won't be able to practice medicine," Dr Bhirmanandham said.
TIPS Global Institute on Karuvalur Road in Kovilpalayam had published advertisements inviting applications for the MBBS course.
When a TOI reporter approached the institute posing as a 'guardian', the institute said the course would have three stages - three years at TIPS Global Institute in Coimbatore, two years at an institution on Aruba, a Dutch-Caribbean Island, and the final two years at Xavier University in the United States.
The admission officer said that the first three years will be BSc in human biology, the degree for which will be issued by Bharathiar University, Coimbatore.
"This part of education is called pre-med study. If the student is academically sound, he can finish the B.Sc human biology course in one and half years and fly to Aruba for six more semesters. This includes the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination). If the student is weak in English, we will provide the coaching for it too. Our fees is about 1 crore. This will cover books, accommodation, health insurance, malpractice insurance and flight fares," the officer said.
MCI secretary Reena Nayar said the courses such as MBBS could not be run in India by any institution without the councils approval. "Also, this year admission in India without NEET qualification is illegal," she said.
But TIPS Globals admission co-ordinator Indu Priya said there was no need for the institute to obtain permission from the MCI.
"Xavier University is the institution that will offer the undergraduate degree in medicine," she said.
Academic director A Chokkalingam added that their mode of operation and the course was legal. "We don't offer MBBS. We offer BSc human biology. Xavier University approves of our course as the pre-medical course for their institution. They offer MBBS. We are doing it as career guidance for our students. We have a partnership with Xavier University," he said.
TIPS has admitted four students in the last three years. TIPS is not an affiliated college to Coimbatore-based Bharathiar University.
It is operated as centre for participatory programmes and offers six undergraduate and five postgraduate programmes.
Another college, KSG College of Arts and Science, was running a similar course in an administrative tie-up with American International School of Medicine (AISM). When contacted, she said, "I am allowed run this institute and course."

What can you do after walking across the Brooklyn Bridge? You can explore the two nearby neighborhoods, DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights, go for a walking tour of Vinegar Hill, and in summer, hop the ferry back to Manhattan or Long Island City .
Having arrived in Brooklyn, you will be less than a ten-minute walk to the neighborhood known as DUMBO.
Four Best Things To Do in DUMBO After Walking Across the Brooklyn Bridge
1. Eat! The most famous food destinations here are Brooklyn Ice Cream, pizza at Grimaldi's and chocolate at Jacques Torres. However, there are great restaurants throughout DUMBO, and a few inexpensive, fun dive bars.
2. Relax in a waterside park. Brooklyn Bridge Park is a gorgeous new park, overlooking Manhattan.
3. Take a cultural trip. See galleries, attend edgy theater, catch classical music at New York's floating concert hall, on an old barge. See listings for St. Ann's Warehouse; Bargemusic.
4. Explore! Check out DUMBO. It's a quirky, arty , historic Brooklyn neighborhood between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, near historic Fulton Street. Once an industrial area, it's now one of Brooklyn's trendiest locations, with multi-million dollar high rise apartments overlooking Manhattan and the East River, interesting restaurants, and shops.
What does "DUMBO" mean?
The name is an acronym, which stands for "Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass." But don't worry, it's also under the Brooklyn Bridge. Two bridges for the price of one!

We're barely halfway into The Flash's first season, and the Arrow spinoff is already digging deep into the comic canon to find super-powered villains. Well, one of them almost looked very, very different.
We thoroughly enjoyed Greg Finley's take on Girder, with a look that was obviously heavily inspired by X-Men's Colossus. But, as some new concept art reveals, the producers were originally eyeing a design more in line with his comic counterpart — with a dash of Transformers thrown into the mix.
Concept artist John Gallagher has released a surprisingly awesome piece of unused concept art, showing off what he describes as a "scrap metal found object aesthetic" that was considered early on. According to Gallagher, that was part of an effort to "bridge the original with a next gen look."
Though they ultimately went with the slick design you see above, Girder could've looked like this if they'd followed this design concept:
So, which look do you prefer?

Miss Ellen Mary TenBrock
My Much Loved Neice,
I received your
picture several day since, and would have written to have let known that I had received it but I have not had a moments time until this morn. I am
much obliged to you for your picture, I think it is a true picture, with the exception of the mouth. As you did not write a very extensive letter, I cannot find anything in it to answer, but will tell you what news I know, which is not a great deal. Well in the first place, I heard that my sweetheart was going to war. I have not been able to study any since I heard it, and what
me more is that he is going on the wrong side - (that is the
) Altho I have been in a slave State so long, I am not a Southerner in sentiment yet. I am the only person in school that will take up for Lincoln, the girls all call me Lincoln, I tell them, that I am proud of the name. One thousand troops, from this, and two or three adjoining counteys, are holding them selves in readiness, to start a moments warning, to fight for the southern confederacy, they are all coming to Winchester next Wednesday, and to camp until they are called upon to start to war. The Military of town went around to all of the schools, and bade them farewell, one day last week when they came over to our school, we all stood in the yard in front of the house, while Mr. Crisman addressed the Military, he had only spoken a few moments, until every one was in tears. I never witnessed a more solemn scene, The brass band was with them, and they played several peaces before they left. I think our school will continue untill the end of the session, but no longer. Mr. Brazelton has rented a Piano for me it is a very nice one. Cousin Sallie returned from Salem last saturday, after having been absent almost two months. The school that cousin Thomas is attending, will suspend this week. I do not know wether he will go to war or not. They force the season so, here, they have had on summer clothes for more than a month, there has been several hard frosts since then, and a good many cold days. I have not received my summer clothes from home yet, but am expecting them ever day. Do you correspond with brother Jimmie ? I have not received a letter from brother Washie since I have been here. I think he treats me shamefully. I have a large sty on one of my eyes, it is the first one I ever had. Cousin Lizzie Mc.Donald has been very sick, has been confined to her bed for two weeks, but is a great deal better now. I received a letter from Sam TenBrock this morning, there seems to be a great deal of excitement in Paris. I am in school, writing this, and consequently am in haste, you must excuse bad writing, and do not let any one see this. Write very soon, and write me a long letter,
Gertrude Alexander.
April 24.
Cousin Thomas returned home night before last, he is going to war, it seems as tho it will almost murder Cousin Sallie & Ellen. The Military have been called upon, and will start next Monday., the excitement seems to be increasing ever day, there was a white man caught talking to some Negroes yesterday, he was taken up, and put in jail, it was thought they would hang him, but they let him go this morning. They are looking out for John Browns all of the time. I do not think there is a girl in school doing a partical of good, we are all so excited, I did not go to school today, and don't know weather I shall go again this week. The was four hundred dollars subscribed yesterday for the benefit of the soldiers and there was a concert given last evening they mad four hundred dollars, and there was a collection take up of two hundred. We understand yesterday that Lincoln had one hundred thousand men stationed at Louisville. Is there any prospect of your school suspending ? Now Nell write soon and tell all of the news.
Thursday 25,
I do not know now but that I will start home next week, if I do, I will go with the troops that go from here, I am acquainted with almost all of them, Cousin Ellen says I shant go, I am going to try to persuade her, but have no idea that she will let me, I am afraid I cannot get home attall if I do not go now, answer this imeadetly, and if I go, I will receive your letter before I start.
Winchester Female Academy
was founded by Rev. W. A. Scott, of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The building was erected in 1835, and the school opened in December of the same year. Rev. Scott and his wife were the first teachers. They continued about three years, and were succeeded by Rev. T. C. Anderson, two years. He was followed by Rev. Biddle, who taught until his death, which occurred about 1856. About this time the name of the academy was changed to that of The
Robert Donnell Institute
, and the faculty changed frequently thereafter. Profs. Syler and Crisman taught at different periods, and after the war Rev. McKinzie taught, and was followed by Prof. A. M. Burney. In the early sessions of this academy there were from 80 to 120 pupils in attendance, and the number afterward increased to about 160, and finally decreased so that the school had to be closed for want of patronage. The building is now used by the free school.

"Our ultimate goal is to develop effective drug therapies at three different points in the pathological cascade of the disease to prevent, inhibit and cure Alzheimer's."
Building on its enormously successful "Whole Genome Sequencing" Project, which identified nearly 1,000 new genetic mutations in more than 50 different genes, Cure Alzheimer's Fund has announced a new, even more ambitious multi year, $50 million plus program titled "Genes to Therapies" (G2T).
The mission of the Cure Alzheimer's Fund is to fund research with the highest probability of preventing, slowing, or reversing Alzheimer's disease through venture-based philanthropy.

Simply put, the new project's goal is to use the most promising recent genetic discoveries to develop drugs that would stop the disease at three separate stages:
- For healthy people who don't yet have Alzheimer's: to stop Alzheimer's before it starts by inhibiting the production of the Abeta protein and/or clearing it from the brain after it forms.
- For those exhibiting symptoms of Alzheimer's: to stop the process early on by inhibiting the formation of tau tangles and protecting neurons from undue stress.
- For those whose disease has progressed significantly: to reduce the Abeta and tau-provoked inflammation, slowing down or even stopping the disease process.
The first step, he explained, will be to prioritize approximately 15 genes that fit key several key criteria:
- They must have a clear impact on Alzheimer's pathology.
- They must be "druggable"—connected to known biological systems, producing proteins similar to those already targeted by other drugs.
- They must impact one of the clear intervention points—Abeta/plaque production, tangle formation or neuroinflammation.
Using human brain cells generated from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, Dr. Kim was—for the first time—able to create both the amyloid plaque and neurofibrillary tangle pathology of AD in a Petri dish. This technology will enable much cheaper and faster drug testing.

"Having learned much about the pathway that leads to disease, together with the genes responsible," said Tanzi, "we now can proceed to look for chemical compounds that correct the defects. In other words, we can try to fix what is broken."
To ensure the success of the G2T program, Cure Alzheimer's Fund is funding a unique research facilitation process—the "infrastructure" for the project.
Unlike most projects, which require six to nine months' preparation time before any real research begins, our unique approach will save money and, most importantly, time, allowing our researchers to get started right away.
Working as one, our G2T Steering Committee's ultimate goal is to develop effective drug therapies at three different points in the pathological cascade of the disease to prevent, inhibit and cure Alzheimer's.

3 Commandments for creating incredibly engaging content
by Ben Heiser, 02 Aug 2017
To Create Great Content, Follow These Commandments
- Surrender Your Ego As content creators, we have to face the fact that our audience has the power. Almost every time someone fires up their browser or scrolls on their phone, they've got a mission in mind. Our job is to understand what they're looking for and give it to them in the best way possible. Your creative idea for content is only as good as the results it earns, so remember to put your creative ego second to what your audience is looking for.
- Know Thy Enemy: The Back Button It's something we use without even blinking an eye. Search results not what you were looking for? BACK. Blog post you clicked on looks like every other blog post? BACK Video has a super long intro? BACK You get the idea. Your audience doesn't have to spend time on your content and will flex that muscle whenever they're not satisfied with what they see. Which means your content needs to be worthy of their attention. Considering the back button is about putting yourself in your audiences' shoes and truthfully asking yourself: "what would make me want to stick around?"
- Rule: Have Some Manners Americans spend upwards of 10 hours a day on the internet. It's like a second home for most people. Common manners dictate that if you enter someone's home, you should act politely. With content, that rule is just as true as in the real world. People don't like being deceived online. Whether that's a misleading article, a tricky CTA, or an email gate that asks for more than it should. Good content isn't sleazy – it doesn't have to be. Improper behavior damages your brand image — just think of all those times brands have wandered into Reddit, only to be crucified by hordes of pissed off commenters.
In short, remember who you're here forContent marketing is marketing, which means it must be strategic and link to the business goals of your brand. But content marketing only truly pays off when you correctly mix that strategic thinking with the ideas, posts, gifs, articles and videos that serve the needs of your audience. It's like baking a good loaf of bread. Get the ingredients and proportions right and you'll end up with a boule of golden goodness. Get the mixture wrong and the only thing that will eat your gluten monstrosity is your garbage can. Bread baking aside, I use these three content commandments on a daily basis to keep me honest. They're short, simple, and they'll help you take a step back and create more engaging content, everyday.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) Rodney McGruder scored 20 points and Will Spradling added 15 as No. 16 Kansas State defeated Oklahoma 69-60 on Saturday in a matchup of unbeaten Big 12 teams.
Romero Osby and Amath M'Baye both scored 12 points for Oklahoma.
The Sooners (12-4, 3-1) kept pace with the Wildcats most of the way thanks to snagging 36 rebounds to Kansas State's 24. That would not be enough to counteract the damage done by turnovers; Oklahoma gave the ball away 16 times.
Even so, Kansas State (15-2, 4-0) only got a double-digit lead in the second half. Oklahoma quickly responded with a 9-4 run that cut the Wildcats' lead to five points.

Examining the Elements of a Novel: Using the Senses
Copyright © 2014 George Green and Lizzy Kremer. All rights reserved.
Here's a look at ways in which you can make sure that the story you're writing has something in it that appeals to all your readers.
Saying to a writer, 'You need to use the senses', isn't very startling. It would be difficult to imagine how someone might write something that didn't use at least one sense! If you're a writer, you will almost certainly have written physical descriptions of some sort, which usually tell the reader what the writer is looking at (if it's non-fiction) or what the writer wants the reader to imagine (if it's fiction). So, the visual sense is something most people are familiar with and use widely in their writing.
What's interesting is looking at the other senses. Psychologists say that most people have a hierarchy of senses – they have one sense that they rely on overwhelmingly and the other senses much less so, often in a sort of ranking. So, for example, you might be a very visual person who also relies on hearing a bit, but you aren't so concerned with smell, taste or touch. The majority of people are visual, with hearing the next most popular sense, though it's quite a way behind.
The problem that individual writers have is that they tend to rely on their own predominant sense in what they write, too. Doing so is easy, and it comes naturally – too naturally, in fact. By all means write visually if that is your predominant sense, though don't forget that not only do visual people have four other senses, but there are a lot of people who aren't predominantly visual, and when they read very visually-orientated writing they say to themselves 'That's all very well, but I can't hear / touch / smell it'. Your writing may be very good, but it won't 'speak' to them.
The point is not to fundamentally alter your writing style but to be very aware of what you're doing when you write. (This is, of course, a good general rule to observe anyhow.) Some situations are best described visually, with a few nods to whatever other senses are involved – a landscape might be a feast for the eyes, but there may also be the touch of the wind, the smells of flowers and animals, and you might be eating an ice-cream. Such details enrich the overall description.
Describing other situations may be less visually loaded – food, for example, is a visual experience, but most people would also want to know what it smelt and tasted like. You need to run a 'sense-check' on your writing. There's no need to be obsessive about the balance – just make sure that you aren't heavily favouring one sense at the expense of the others or, if you are, that you're doing so deliberately.

(LOVE the wig Amy is wearing, it's from Annabelle's Wigs and is the Alison Bob.)Vajazzles have been around for a while now thanks to the TOWIE bunch, but is seems Amy isn't content with just down there looking blingtastic, her new Hair Vajazzles promise to leave hair sparkling. Surely it should be called the Hajazzle though?!
As Amy says "I put the body vajazzle on the map so now I have created my very own Hair Vajazzle range. They add glitter and sparkle to your hair, so are amazing for parties – I love them!"
Now I've seen Hair Dazzle which looks fantastic and has been spotted on a whole host of celebs, but for me Hair Vajazzles just seems gimmicky. I think for parties and fancy dress they would work, and no doubt kids will love them. My only concern is when the wind blows, will the gems be lost in a blustery blast?
Would you go for a Hair Vajazzle?
Or do you think Amy is one vajazzle short of a...well you know where I'm going...

TRESemme Split Remedy Conditioner ★★★
Price: $11.49
Size: 739mL
About: conditioner designed hydrate hair, mend split ends and reduce the appearance of split ends. Packaged in a large plastic bottle with flip lid applicator.
Review: Having finally tried TRESemme, I was looking forward to seeing why so many people love the brand worldwide. This winter my usually healthy strands have become limp, lifeless and straw-like and so when I discovered Split Remedy Conditioner, I was wrapped. Designed to soften hair and improve its condition, Split Remedy Conditioner contains a unique reconstructing complex which works to smooth the hair cuticle thanks to polyelectrolyte microgel; a unique formulation of oppositely charged particles. So the question on your lips is, does it work? In a nutshell, yes. TRESemme claims that Split Remedy Conditioner reduces the appearance of split ends by up to 80% after three washes and I noticed a dramatic change in just two. Split Remedy Conditioner reduced the appearance of split ends from the very first wash. Because I have been colouring my hair and it is becoming brittle, I was really surprised to discover that this super affordable conditioner really does smooth the hair's cuticles. It is important to note that while I have dry ends, my roots are very oily and so I am particular with what I use. TRESemme Split Remedy Conditioner is a rather rich formula with a thick, creamy consistency that is hard to break down and separate which means that it does tend to get stick in the hair and I find it just a little difficult to wash it out. With a little perseverance the formula washes out but I do find that hair experiences a little build up. If you experience frizzy coloured hair which has an abundance of split ends then you must try Split Remedy Conditioner for yourself.
