Attracted by the advertisement? Well, there is nothing new about it. There are many advertisements about different products on the internet. Quite often you come across a product that may amaze you and look attractive to you. This article is about one such product, which is being center of attention for many people who are browsing internet. Yes, I am talking about the Sytropin.
You may hear a lot about the HGH these days, well, thanks to the media it is not portrayed well. HGH is nothing new; it is a very old discovery. It is actually a hormone that is abbreviated for short as HGH; the full form of this hormone is the human growth hormone. This hormone has been the topic of discussions among the doctors and scientist from a long time, as this hormone is a multipurpose hormone. It is a magical hormone as it does quite many important things inside the human body. The most major of the function that this does is the assistance it provides in the growth of human body. It is from this function that it gets its name, but apart from this function there are numerous other things as well, that are done by this hormone.
This hormone is responsible for energizing our body from time to time. It also heals up the muscles when you are doing some exercise. It gives strength to the newly formed cells in the body that are formed by the homeostasis, and are too weak to survive. It also fights with all the signs of aging. So, you see this is very important but, unfortunately, this hormone is in scarcity in our bodies and the amount produced by the body tends to low down as the time passes and we grow old. With the passage of time, when we are old, our pituitary gland stops making the human growth hormone.
Here we need the HGH supplement and here we come across the Sytropin HGH supplement. Although, HGH supplements are nothing new, and they have been coming in the scene from to time, but Sytropin HGH supplement is a quite different from all those products. First, it is the fact that a HGH supplement have never come up in the form of spray before. Yes, it has come in the shape of injections, pills and creams, but it has never been introduced in the form of spray.
The form of spray for ultimate HGH supplement makes it very advantageous. It is easy to carry and very easy to use. Just one or two sprays in the mouth and you are done. No difficult instructions, nor too complicated precautions to confuse you. It comes in very small sizes, this increases the ease in mobility and you can just put it in your pocket or purse. Sytropin HGH supplement is made from natural contents and so there is no harmful side effects.
So, with Sytropin HGH supplement, one may not be afraid of consequences, just go for it!

Prosecutor objects to prep school grad's new trial request
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A prosecutor has objected to a request for a new trial from a New Hampshire prep school graduate convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old freshman, saying he's already appealing his case.
Twenty-year-old Owen Labrie was convicted in August of misdemeanor sex assault charges and a felony charge of using a computer to lure an underage student for sex. He started serving his one-year jail sentence last month after a judge revoked his bail.
Labrie's lawyer asked the state Supreme Court to delay his appeal, pending the outcome of his new trial request to a county judge. But a prosecutor on Thursday says the county judge should strike that request because the higher court hasn't yet ruled.
Labrie was arrested in 2014 days after graduation from St. Paul's School in Concord.

Sir Terry Wogan's colleagues hail 'radio genius'
Sir Terry Wogan will be missed greatly at BBC Radio 2, his colleagues have said as they described him as a "radio genius".
Fellow presenters were among those to pay tribute to the 77-year-old outside Broadcasting House in central London just hours after news of his death broke.
Drive Time presenter Simon Mayo first met Sir Terry covering the 1992 Olympics, and recalled his ability to put people at ease.
He told the Press Association: "He was warm, funny, welcoming, generous. You would think 'Oh my goodness, it's Sir Terry' and then as soon as you met him he'd offer you a biscuit and some cold curry that had been brought in the night before. I've worked with intimidating broadcasters and Terry wasn't that."
Describing him as a "radio genius", he said listeners saw Sir Terry as a friend.
He said: "I think people are shocked and stunned because of the fact that he was a radio genius. The staple of all great radio is the friend behind the microphone and he was the ultimate friend behind the microphone."
Bob Shennan, controller of Radio 2, made meeting Sir Terry his first priority when he took over the station seven years ago.
He said: "I thought the first thing I ought to do is go and see Terry.
"He was just such a welcoming, warm, generous person.
"Instantly I felt I'd just really lucked out doing this job to be perfectly honest.
"I realised what sort of a man he was, and that was the man I'd seen and heard in television and radio."
He described him as a natural when it came to radio, and recalled fellow presenter Jeremy Vine's shock when Sir Terry turned up five minutes before a show one day having done no preparation.
Mr Shennan said: "The thing about Terry was that he really didn't go into a lot of preparation for his programme. He fed off the audience. He didn't pre-judge what it would be about that day.
"Jeremy said to Terry 'How are you going to prepare for everything, have you done all your prep for that?' And Terry said 'No, I'll just get out of the lift and I'll wander into the studio. I'll open the microphone and we'll see what people have got to say.'
"And that was how he did it. And it was why he was so good."
Mark Goodier, who presented a tribute show to Sir Terry on Sunday morning, said he fulfilled all his expectations when they first became colleagues.
He said: "In my case I grew up listening to many of the people I have been lucky enough to end up working with.
"It's difficult to explain that if you wanted to do that job and end up working with your heroes, it's not always going to be as rewarding as you might think.
"Terry completely invalidates the expression 'never meet your heroes' because he was always courteous and charming."
He also paid tribute to Sir Terry's ability to do shows and make speeches off-the-cuff.
"He was funny on the air because he knew how to deal with listeners and their correspondence.
"He told me on several occasions that he never prepared anything. That's an incredible thing to be able to do. He was just a natural and there ain't many of them."
Richard Madeley, who had been sitting in for Sir Terry on Radio 2, said "none of us saw this coming", adding that he expected to see the veteran presenter back working early next month.
Speaking just after leaving the studio, he recalled first meeting Sir Terry some years ago while presenting television show This Morning, when the long-time Children In Need host came on to promote the charity programme.
He said: "What we realised straight away was there was no disconnect between the Terry Wogan that we saw on the television or heard on the radio, and the real man, none at all."
He also marvelled at Sir Terry's flair for turning up just before a show and doing a good job. He said: "He would just walk in, shoulder off his coat and start broadcasting without there being any kind of gap."

Moving Companies and the Steps to Follow during Hiring
Job opportunities in connection with the real estate where the construction industry have people wanting to shift their homes have seen the emergence of the home moving companies. Anyone that wants to join the home moving industry must be prepared to invest a lot in infrastructure dealing with the shifting of people items that include tracks of different sizes. The growth of so many innovations is making the twenty-first century to turn life into simplicity to anyone that can afford the available resources. The industry has thrived in for quite some time now, and companies are offering the movement about ones budget not constraining their clients too much and at the same time looking at the benefits they are accruing. The industry has offered employment to many of the citizens where they need the services of loading, unloading and as well the driver him/herself. Apart from the moving and unloading services offered by the home moving companies, they also help the clients to pack their items to the liking they feel is good. Home moving businesses have found it necessary just like any other businesses to provide a website detailing their services as a way to market their services.
Different companies that deal in home moving have different steps to undertake before one hires the mover; however, the procedures are almost alike in many companies.The The first step on how to hire a moving company is to find a mover company by getting recommendations from friends and acquaintances and searching the internet.This will give you detailed information on the cost the company will ask you for their services.Friends answers may be based on one or two things thus a dark screening is adamant thus searching the internet through their websites would give good and credible answers. After compiling a list of the companies that one has from the friends and the internet, one should narrow down to two or three companies that are going towards their budget. An estimator should be appointed to your home who will give the estimate of the value of your items together with the cost of shifting the goods.One should even make sure that he does get into a binding agreement that has the names of the company and your full names. If the contract is so comprehensive one may even consult a legal personnel to ensure he understands everything. Ensure that the hired company is licensed and keep the contract very safe in case of any irregularities.

Charles Schwab – New Retail Branch (West Des Moines, IA)
When Charles Schwab decided to move an existing retail branch operation into a new stand-alone location, Westwood Contractors was selected as the general contractor to oversee the build-out. The project began as a newly constructed vanilla shell space completely devoid of any interior walls or partitions. We were responsible for the tenant improvement which involved a full build-out of the entire 5,251 SF space to accommodate the new Charles Schwab retail branch. Functional areas in the new space include a reception area, customer lounge with courtesy beverage center, nine private offices, a back office/employee lounge, two conference rooms, a seminar room, men's and women's restrooms, storage space, and mechanical and electrical rooms. Our scope of work included rough carpentry, millwork, roofing, doors frames & hardware, windows/glass/glazing, drywall/metal stud framing/acoustical, ceramic floor tile and ceramic wall tile in restrooms, VCT tile flooring at back office/employee lounge and storage closet, carpet tiles in all other spaces except mechanical/electrical rooms, resilient flooring base, painting & wallcovering, fire sprinklers, plumbing, HVAC, air balance, electrical, and low voltage. Sawcutting and concrete work was required to run electrical and plumbing. Installation of microwave, refrigerators, dishwasher, key cabinet, and window shades was also required.
Coordination with the Client's furniture/plant, sign, and security vendors was required. In particular, the site had to be substantially complete to provide a secure, dust-free, and accessible environment for the audio/visual vendor. A projector lift was installed in the seminar room allowing the projector to be retracted into the ceiling and out of view when not in use.
The 9-week project was completed in May 2017.

This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
As stated in the required resources for this week, the Search Institute has identified 40 Developmental Assets or "building blocks" of healthy development for young people. These have been broken down in to eight broad categories, and then identified as external or internal values.
First, using the US Census Bureau's American Fact Finder (http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml), Pew Research Center (http://pewresearch.org/), and the National Center for Education Statistics (http://nces.ed.gov/) websites, write a short descriptive narrative that identifies the general demographic characteristics of your community based on the latest census. Include items such as average income, household size, and other interesting facts that help paint an accurate picture of your community and schools in relation to the 40 Developmental Assets.
Next, create a table that identifies the eight categories of human development, summarizes the importance of the asset to the development of all youth, and identify at least one existing organization or support model in your community where students can experience this asset. Post your narrative and table in your initial post.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com October 10, 2019, 6:25 am ad1c9bdddf

Editor's Overview
In these days of big and mid-sized SUVs that seem to populate every road and vehicle segment, the 2013 Volvo XC70 is something of a rarity. It's an easy-to-drive station wagon that has comfortable seating for five and cargo space galore, plus generous ground clearance and available all-wheel drive. A premium feel and advanced safety features come standard.
You'll Like The 2013 Volvo XC70 If...
If you desire the cargo space to haul the toys of your active lifestyle and the ability to travel almost any road with them, but don't want a big and bulky SUV, the XC70 is a premium alternative. That it boasts such high-tech safety features is a bonus.
You May Not Like The 2013 Volvo XC70 If...
If you need to carry more than five passengers or plan to do serious off-roading, a bigger, more conventional SUV would be a better choice. Or if the XC70's mid-$30,000 price tag seems high, a Subaru Outback does pretty well for a third less.
What's New
For 2013, the Volvo XC70 gets some minor equipment upgrades. Rain-sensing wipers, headlight washers and Tunnel-Sensing headlights are added across the line. A Sport mode is added to the T6's automatic transmission and depending on packages, keyless entry and starting, xenon headlights and Road Sign Information are now available.
Interior Features
The 2013 Volvo XC70, especially in its higher trim levels, can pass as a luxury car with its plush leather and tasteful accents in wood and metal. Buttons and gauges are sleek and mostly easy to identify and use. The seating position is good (some drivers would like a higher center armrest on long drives) and outward visibility is excellent. Rear-seat room is spacious and 2-stage child booster seats are available. Cargo space is plentiful, with over 33 cubic feet with the rear seats up – with the seats folded flat that space opens up to create what looks like a bed.
Exterior Features
If a station wagon can look rugged, this one does. With 8.3 inches of ground clearance and a blocky design softened by gentle arcs and bulges, the 2013 XC70 looks like one stylish but bulked-up carry-all. Still, it's a station wagon and won't convince anyone otherwise. With its rectangular shape and three rows of side windows, the XC70 can remind you of Volvos past, as opposed to newer and more rounded models like the chic XC60 SUV.
Driving Impressions
In standard form, with the 240-horsepower 3.2-liter base engine, the Volvo XC70 has acceptable acceleration, but for a much more invigorating experience and some reserve power for passing, move up to the 300-horsepower turbocharged engine in the T6. The added power helps make the XC70 a much more engaging car, especially for those who enjoy the dynamic aspects of driving. The T6 XC70 runs from zero to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds. That said, you'll need to rein in the enthusiasm in turns – with its increased ride height and softer suspension, this car is not made to claw around curves at great velocity. On the highway, the XC70 is comfortable and quiet. The steering-wheel-mounted audio controls are easy to use, as are the climate controls on the dash with the vent-direction buttons representing a human figure. Hill Descent Control, standard on all-wheel-drive models, adds confidence on slippery slopes.
Pricing Notes
The 2013 Volvo XC70's Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starts at $34,345 for a front-drive Volvo XC70 3.2. Choosing all-wheel drive adds $2,000. A T6 version with the turbocharged 6-cylinder engine and standard AWD starts at $40,995. Adding the Polestar Performance upgrade for even more power is about $1,500. A top-line XC70 loaded with options can easily surpass $55,000. The less-expensive Subaru Outback is nearly as capable but not as luxurious. Be sure to check KBB.com's Fair Purchase Price, which shows what others in your area paid for the XC70. Over a 5-year period we expect the XC70's retained resale value to be about average for the segment.
Notable Equipment
A base 2013 Volvo XC70 3.2 features a 240-horsepower 6-cylinder engine, 6-speed Geartronic automatic transmission, front-wheel drive and Volvo's City Safety low-speed accident-prevention system. Also standard are rain-sensing wipers, dual-zone climate control, front and rear skid plates, an 8-way power driver's seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a locking cargo-floor compartment, a 160-watt audio system with AM/FM/HD radio, Bluetooth hands-free communication, and cruise control. The XC70 T6 adds a turbocharged engine, dual chrome exhaust tips, leather seating, a power moonroof and power passenger seat. All XC70s feature Volvo's 5-year/50,000-mile warranty with five years of complimentary scheduled maintenance and roadside assistance.
Notable Options
Safety features figure high on any Volvo's equipment list, including the XC70's. Along with the standard City Safety automatic-braking system, the wagon can be outfitted with Volvo's Road Sign Information system, a blind-spot warning system, adaptive cruise control, a pedestrian-detection system with automatic braking, lane-departure warning, and collision warning with fully automatic braking. Also available are xenon headlights, dual two-stage child booster seats, heated front and rear seats, an interior air quality system, navigation, a rear-seat entertainment system with two screens, a rear-view park assist camera, and a 12-speaker, 650-watt premium sound system with rear headphone jacks and audio controls.
Favorite Features
Here's an option you'll appreciate every time you find yourself with an armful. The touch of a button raises or lowers the tailgate, leaving your hands free for other tasks.
One of the XC70's best attributes is its generous amount of space. With the rear seats folded flat, it boasts a vast 72.1 cubic feet of room plus hidden storage underneath. In a pinch, you could sleep in the thing.
Under the Hood
The standard engine for the 2013 Volvo XC70 is a 3.2-liter inline 6-cylinder with 240 horsepower. In this over-2-ton vehicle, the engine delivers acceptable performance, but only just. Passing power, especially, could be stronger. A much better choice, if the budget allows, is the T6 model's potent 300-horsepower turbocharged powerplant. And for even more power, the dealer-installed Polestar Performance package retunes the turbo engine for 325 horsepower without affecting the fuel economy or warranty. Both the naturally aspirated and turbo engines can run on regular unleaded fuel. A 6-speed manually shiftable automatic transmission is used on all XC70s. This transmission offers a selectable Sport mode on the higher-performance T6. The base 3.2 comes with either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive. The T6 is all-wheel-drive only.
3.2-liter inline-6
240 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm
236 lb-ft of torque @ 3,200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 19/25 mpg (FWD), 18/24 mpg (AWD)
3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6
300 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm
325 lb-ft of torque @ 2,100-4,200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 17/23 mpg
Note: The dealer-installed Polestar Performance Package increases the XC70 engine output to 325 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. The fuel economy figures are not affected.
Editors' Notes
In these days of big and mid-sized SUVs that seem to populate every road and vehicle segment, the 2013 Volvo XC70 is something of a rarity. It's an easy-to-drive station wagon that has comfortable seating for five adults and cargo space galore, plus generous ground clearance and available all-wheel drive (AWD) that enable it to tackle just about any surface nearly as well as the more cumbersome truck-like vehicles. The XC70's main competitors in this niche are probably the Subaru Outback and Honda Crosstour, and while both of those have lower starting prices, they don't come close to the premium feel and advanced safety features that are standard on the Volvo.

One surefire way to improve your website's search engine optimization (SEO) is to consistently blog. However, blogging for the sole purpose of SEO is a bit like starting a band just to get rich and famous. The motivation will be too shallow to power you through the early stages of consistent work, microscopic progress, and a lack of recognition. There must be some passion, and you should be having fun. Otherwise, you'll quit.
That's why we encourage our clients, friends, and colleagues to write what they care about and then go back and optimize it for search. And SEO doesn't just mean making it easy for Google to find; it means making it easy for people to find, understand, and read as well.
Intro to SEO Blogging
SEObook.com offers a terrific introduction to the world of blogging from an SEO standpoint. It covers how Google sees your blog, the unique social and SEO characteristics of blogs, keyword research and optimization, and much more. There's even a video featuring an interview with Cory Doctorow, science fiction author, blogger, and technology activist.
In the video, Doctorow gives his No. 1 piece of advice to bloggers: "Write headlines like you're a wire service writer." In other words, don't get too clever. This is good news, because being clever can be a lot of work. Just stick to the facts and let the reader (and Google) decide if it's relevant.
Doctorow makes all of his work available for free under Creative Commons licenses, including Content: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity, Copyright and the Future of the Future.
No Shortcuts
It's tempting for most business owners and marketers to search for SEO secrets, quick fixes, and insider tips as they begin to blog. Michael Gray, who writes about SEO, social media, and blog management on his Graywolf's SEO Blog, writes "It's the combination of all the pieces working together–content, information architecture, and good marketing & promotion–that leads to true success, not the elusive secret you are looking for to avoid one or more of those steps." That means no shortcuts.
Be My Guest Blogger
Once you've gotten the hang of writing your blog—or working with a writer who knows blogging—consider sharing your insights on someone else's. Guest blogging is a practice emphatically supported by SEO professionals and content marketers alike. That's because when you publish on another site, both interests are served.
At the end of your guest post, you can say a little about yourself and your company while also linking back to your site. The higher the quality of the site you're guest blogging on, the more that link back to your own site will help your search rankings.
Content marketers love guest posts too, because it spreads your message to a larger audience, allowing them to engage with your brand. Thankfully, James Agate contributed a guest post of his own to SEO Book.com titled "How to Evaluate Guest Post Opportunities," a checklist of considerations that everyone should keep in mind before submitting their valuable content to another site.
Give it a Shot
If you still haven't gotten around to starting a blog—whether a personal or business one—why not start today? We'll be following up with more information in the weeks to come that will help you develop effective content of your own.

Last weekend, I became obsessed with vintage patterns. I own about ten that my mom has given me from her own stash, but I've never been brave enough to try them. Plus, the ones she gave me need some major resizing and I just don't have the time or knowledge for that. I also need some new nightgowns. I wear PJ pants after work because they're comfy, and normally I don't wear anything to bed (I know, you didn't need to know that, but it's the truth), but because I'm visiting my parents in a couple weeks, I should probably pack pajamas. It would be the polite thing to do. However, all the Big Four patterns are pretty focused on pajama sets--top and bottoms--or old lady nightgowns. Colette offers the Cinnamon slip, but that's a bit too fancy for going to my parents' house, and it'd also take some slippery fabric. I needed to stash-bust and I needed to find something cute and non-risque.
I bought three patterns on eBay, the first of which arrived last week.
Butterick 5534, in a bust 34, which, I assure you, is not my size. I don't think I've been that small since elementary school. I liked view A with the gathered neckline. I took out the pattern pieces and did a tissue fitting, as well as measuring their dimensions, Saturday night. Much to my surprise, the 34 fit! I cut it out of some cotton I've had forever and started sewing it Sunday afternoon.
It's four pieces, with front, back, and side seams. You're supposed to use bias tape and a bow made from the same fabric, but I don't have time for that foolishness, so I used store-bought. I decided to baste everything together and fit it first, because I would be pissed if I did all that sewing only to find out I did my tissue fit wrong or whatever.
I wish I had taken a picture of the basted nightgown. It was huge. I don't want to exaggerate, but I know I cut at least five inches off of each of the sides, four off of the front and two off the back. The shoulders were also cut down. I mean, it was a circus tent. I know nighties should be free-flowing, but damn! Women in the 1960s had some serious body issues, I guess.
I eventually got it to look like this:
The arms are a bit snug, but I don't plan on really sleeping in it, just wearing it for breakfast and coffee so I look halfway decent (my hair will be another story). It's a good length, too, and while it doesn't look like it on the pattern, the shoulders are super wide--it's more of a ballet neck on me than a normal neckline. That's Joel Dewberry's "Manzanita" line and a brown bias-tape bow, too.
I'm expecting the other two patterns this week, and have some Freshcut and no-name fabric put aside for those. I also have my eye on a vintage Simplicity pattern, but the Low Balance Threshold email I got from Bank of America this morning is telling me I need to chill.

Topping it off: Basehor water tower takes final shape
April 21, 2011
Photo Gallery
Basehor water tower bowl-raising
Early on Monday, April 21, construction crews raised a 300,000-pound steel bowl to the top of the new Consolidated Water District No. 1 water tower in Basehor. During the process, which lasted from about 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., the new tower assumed the shape that will loom over the Basehor landscape for decades to come.
A structure that will dominate Basehor's landscape for decades to come took its shape Monday morning after about seven months of construction.
As onlookers peered through binoculars and snapped photos, a construction crew hoisted a 300,000-pound steel bowl to the top of the new Consolidated Water District No. 1 water tower in Basehor. The crew began raising the bowl at 7:30 a.m., and it took until just after 10 a.m. for the bowl to scale the 105-foot-tall concrete column upon which it will rest.
The tower, between 155th and 158th Streets north of U.S. Highway 24-40, will hold 1 million gallons of water.
A group ranging from five to 10 people, a mix of water board members and other residents, watched the process from the parking lot of First Baptist Church of Basehor just north of the tower, some of them coming and going throughout the morning.
Ron Milbourn, a member of the water district board, watched from the church parking lot with a pair of binoculars. He said he was interested to see the sight of the 70-foot-diameter bowl being raised, though he joked that he also came to make sure the bowl wasn't attached crookedly to the top of the tower.
"It's not something you get to see every day," Milbourn said.
Also watching were Mike Fulkerson, operations director for the water district, and Dan Fisher, area specialist for U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development, who traveled from Manhattan. USDA Rural Development backed the financing for the $2.2 million project.
"Dan and I first started talking about this two years ago," Fulkerson said. "To see it finally happening is really, really interesting."
Fischer said it was the first time he'd watched the construction of such a large tower.
Fulkerson noted that the bowl-raising process, while impressive in scope, was slow to watch. The crew lifted the bowl 105 feet over the course of two-and-a-half hours, a rate of 8.4 inches per minute.
"It's not a quick process," Fulkerson said.
Workers for Phoenix Fabricators and Erectors, the contractor working on the tower, worked their way repeatedly around the top of the concrete column, using hydraulic-powered jacks to raise a series of cables attached to the bottom of the bowl and using torches to cut the excess cable that stretched upward.
The million-gallon tower holds 10 times as much water as the water district's former tower in the same location, which held 100,000 gallons. Based on growth projections, the district expects the new tower to serve its needs for about 50 years, Fulkerson said, and it's likely to stay in use longer than that.
Fulkerson said two to three weeks of work remained before work on the bowl was finished. After the bowl is in place, another contractor will apply a paint scheme beginning in May, he said, and the tower is tentatively scheduled to be operational by August, just less than a year after construction began, in September 2010.
The paint scheme, approved last month by the Basehor City Council, is to include the words "Welcome to Basehor" facing toward the highway, along with Basehor-Linwood High School's Bobcat logo. Basehor-Linwood school district superintendent David Howard requested at the council's March work session that the tower include the Bobcat.

A recent psychology paper has shown that people gain more happiness if they used a windfall to purchase time-saving services (increasing their leisure time) rather than material goods, as reported in a BBC article.
This shows us that many people probably spend too long working to buy things when their leisure is more valuable. It also reminds us that the most important inventions and infrastructure are those which save us time: from permanent homes (rather than temporary camps) to electricity, from indoor plumbing to washing machines and from central heating to the automobile.
If the research finding is generalizable, it implies is that a society with substantial division of labour in which we all work for each other in ways that increase our leisure might be happier.
However, it also highlights the importance of the distribution of leisure in society. Some economically fortunate people may use their good fortune to effectively purchase more leisure time for themselves. Our regressive tax system which taxes work and consumption more than windfall income fails to mitigate this unfairness.
Political philosophers are starting to recognise the importance of the distribution of leisure, for example Julie Rose's recent book Free Time. However, my own tax proposals also fit well with this issue.
Taking account of the number of hours people work would when calculating tax through my CLIPH-Rate Tax system would greatly improve the distribution of leisure-time in society without thereby discouraging people from working (as would other radical economic proposals).

For Immediate Release: June 8, 2010
Contact: Alan Barber, (202) 293-5380 x115
Washington, D.C. - Statement from Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research on the House-Senate Conference Committee's latest requirements for Federal Reserve disclosure and governance:
"The House-Senate Conference Committee on the financial reform bill has agreed to conditions on disclosure that will be a big step forward towards increasing transparency around the Federal Reserve's operations. At the same time, the conference language is a setback from strong language in the Senate bill that would limit the conflict of interest that results from banks having substantial control over their own regulator.
"The conference committee accepted the Senate's language that would require the Fed to make available on its website the conditions of the loans, including interest rates and collateral posted, that were issued by the special facilities created during the financial crisis. This will allow members of the public and the media to scrutinize these loans to ensure that proper practices were followed. The Fed will also be obligated to disclose the conditions of loans from special facilities created in the future. Unfortunately, the wording on this future disclosure requirement could lead to a delay of many years between the issuance of the loans and any public disclosure or a GAO audit.
"The conference committee also agreed to require the Fed to disclose its discount window transactions and open market operations after a two-year lag. This reverses a previous insistence by the Fed that these transactions must be protected from disclosure.
"On governance of the Fed, the conference commitment took a step back from the Senate language, which would have reduced the control of the banking industry over the Fed. Currently the Presidents of the twelve district Federal Reserve Banks are appointed by their boards of directors, and two thirds of the directors are elected by their member commercial banks. The Senate language would have shifted the power of appointment from the banks to the President and Congress in the case of the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, by far the most important of the district bank presidents. It also would have prohibited member banks from voting for directors and employees of banks from serving as Fed district bank presidents.
"The conference committee instead agreed only to prohibit the Class A directors -- those representing member banks -- from voting on the district banks presidents, which does very little to reduce the power of the banks over the district Feds. The Class B directors -- those representing the public -- are still elected by the member banks in their district. Furthermore, as insiders to the industry, the Class A directors are still likely to have substantial influence over the selection process even if they do not have a formal vote.
"For these reasons, the conference committee's removal of the Senate language making the New York bank president a presidential appointee as well as the prohibitions of member banks from voting for directors and bank employees from becoming district bank presidents is a step backward in the effort to make the Fed independent of the banking industry. "

Geraldo Rivera's Questionable Reasoning in the Trayvon Martin Case
The much-publicized death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin took an interesting twist when Geraldo Rivera pronounced in an interview on "Fox and Friends" last week that "I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin's death as much as George Zimmerman was." Later in the interview Rivera also said "Trayvon Martin, God bless him, an innocent kid, a wonderful kid, a box of Skittles in his hands. He didn't deserve to die. But I bet you money, if he didn't have that hoodie on, that nutty neighborhood watch guy wouldn't have responded in that violent and aggressive way."
Without commenting on the tragedy of Trayvon's death or the hoodie movement it has spawned across the country and at institutions like Harvard Law School, we at Blueprint were interested in the outrageous errors in reasoning Rivera's comments displayed. One of the few bright spots in studying for the LSAT is that, if done correctly, it trains you to spot fallacious reasoning. This comes in handy as a law student, a law practitioner, and, in this case, as a media consumer.
Perhaps the journalism standards for someone who hosted episodes such as "My Ex Hired a Hitman to Kill Me" on The Geraldo Rivera Show that ran in the 90's should be more lax. Nevertheless, his comments struck us as precisely the sort of erroneous reasoning that an LSAT student should spot a mile away.
So without further ado, we've put together a video outlining exactly the logical fallacy Rivera commits.

Film - Feature | January 9 | 7-9 p.m. | Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
Based on the Puccini opera Madame Butterfly (but changing the title character from geisha to noblewoman) and one of the first European films to depict Japanese culture, Harakiri was considered a lost film for decades until it was discovered in the mid-1980s in the Netherlands Film Museum. Intrigued with Asian design motifs and obsessed with authenticity, Lang obtained sets and costumes from the Hamburg Anthropological Museum to help create his fantasia of the Orient, filmed on the outskirts of Berlin. Refreshingly stereotype-free, the film demonstrates that silent film can rival opera in emotional impact (Tom Vick).

Matija Nastasic leaves Manchester City for Schalke
Manchester City defender Matija Nastasic has completed a permanent move to German side Schalke 04, according to BBC Sport.
Nastasic joined the Bundesliga outfit in January on a loan deal until the end of the season with a view to buying the defender in the summer.
It would appear that Schalke have seen enough already after nine games to activate a clause in the loan agreement and sign the player outfight.
Failed to impress Manuel Pellegrini
Arriving from Fiorentina in the summer of 2012 for a fee in the region of £12 million, the Serbian impressed in his debut season under then boss Roberto Mancini, with many believing the youngster's performance deserved at least a nomination for the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
He could not, however, follow up his good start to his City career under new manager Manuel Pellegrini, with a combination of injury problems and poor performances limiting his appearances and forcing the club to bring in reinforcements in the form of summer signing Eliaquim Mangala.
The Serb's last appearance for the Citizens was in the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal at the start of the season.
Will Manchester City regret selling Nastasic? Have your say in the comments below!News Now - Sport News

Take part in shaping tomorrow's electronics
LOUISVILLE, Colo. –– October 15, 2014 - The Design Automation Conference (DAC) is the not-to-miss occasion for the worldwide community of system designers, system architects, IC designers, embedded system designers, validation engineers, CAD managers, and senior managers, executives, researchers and academics in the electronics field. For 52 years DAC has been in the forefront of electronic design, DAC 2015 is seeking submissions that deal with design technologies and algorithms that address all aspects of electronic design across the following submission categories: research papers, special sessions, panels, tutorials, and co-located conferences and workshops. DAC is the only conference to offer something for everyone in the electronics field - a best-in-class technical program, outstanding training and education and an exhibition filled with leading vendors all under one roof .
The 52nd DAC will be held at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California , from June 7-11, 2015.
The 52nd DAC will focus on five key tracks: automotive, IP design, embedded systems and hardware software security, along with the traditional electronic design automation (EDA) track. Each track will include invited talks, embedded tutorials, special sessions/panels, regular research papers and designer tracks.
Submission criteria and topics are outlined briefly below. First deadline is November 13, 2014. All submission information and topic details can be found at www.dac.com under call for contributions
Research Manuscripts
Abstract due before 5pm MT November 21, 2014
Manuscript due 5pm MT December 2, 2014
A DAC research paper explores a specific technology problem and proposes a complete solution to it, with extensive experimental results. Submission includes a six-page paper and a short abstract clearly stating the significant contribution, impact, and results of the submission. Authors are encouraged to submit research manuscripts on all aspects of EDA, embedded systems and software as well as automotive design, hardware and software security, and IP design research topics.
"Work-In-Progress" (WIP) Abstracts
Abstract due before 5:00pm MT, November 21, 2014
Manuscript due 5pm MT December 2, 2014
A DAC work-in-progress provides authors an opportunity for early feedback on current work and preliminary results. Authors have two different opportunities to be part of the Work-in-Progress Poster Session.
Option 1: If authors submit a research manuscript and it is not accepted as part of the regular technical program, there will be a second opportunity to have their submission reviewed as part of the DAC WIP poster session.
Option 2: Authors submit a 100-word abstract and a one-page manuscript to be reviewed as part of the DAC Work-in-Progress Poster session.
Special Session Proposals
Due before 5:00pm MT, November 13, 2014
A special session is devoted to the following topics: traditional core EDA, embedded systems and software (ESS), automotive, security, IP design or a topic of future interest. The topic should be presented from an angle that does not overlap with content from traditional research manuscripts, having a more educational component. A complete submission should list at least three inspiring speakers who address the topic from different viewpoints. The special session submission form is streamlined this year, requiring an overall abstract for the special session plus a title, abstract, and speaker names (and contact info). Note that the organizer/submitter of the special session may also be a speaker for the session. DAC reserves the right to restructure all special session proposals.
Technical Panel Proposals
Due before 5:00pm MT, November 13, 2014
A good panel session explores a single, high-level issue or question with representatives of differing viewpoints. Panel suggestions may include anything that might appeal to the DAC's broad audience as long as the topic is interesting, timely, informative, and enlightening. The topic should be relevant to one or more segments of DAC attendees. Controversy is appropriate and encouraged; bickering and personal attacks are not. Sales pitches are inappropriate in a DAC panel. Panel topics can include: general interest, business, traditional EDA, ESS, automotive design, security and IP design. DAC reserves the right to restructure all panel suggestions.
Tutorial Proposals
Due before 5:00pm MT, November 13, 2014
DAC tutorials will be scheduled as two-hour tutorials presented twice on Monday, June 8, 2015. The ideal structure is to have a single speaker for each session. DAC is looking for timely, tangible, hands-on topics that provide immediate value for the attendee. Attendees have the opportunity to learn about two different topics during the day. The areas can cover:
• Traditional EDA topics (for example, "How to architect a parallel timing analyzer")
• Hot design topics (for example, "How to design a low-power memory controller")
• Emerging software development topics (for example, "How to get started writing iPhone apps")
DAC reserves the right to restructure all tutorial suggestions.
Workshop Proposals
Due before 5:00pm MT, November 13, 2014
DAC invites you to organize a workshop on topics related to design, design methodologies, and design automation. DAC workshops are considered a central part of DAC's technical program and span anywhere from two to nine hours. A workshop organizer is responsible for developing the agenda, selecting, inviting and confirming the speakers, and communicating the workshop details to the DAC office. DAC's responsibility includes the financial management, setting registration fees, coordinating the logistics of the event and publicity. A workshop is not a forum for a single vendor to advertise its technology.
Co-located Conference Proposals
Proposals due before 5:00pm MT, November 13, 2014
DAC co-located conferences are meetings, conferences or other special events that have already obtained event sponsorship from IEEE, ACM, the EDA Consortium or another organization. DAC will provide meeting rooms at the conference center at no cost. The event will be financed and otherwise organized by the submitter.
Designer Track
Abstract due before 5:00pm MT, January 20, 2015
The focus of the designer track is on the design tool user community. While the regular DAC program is focused on algorithms, the designer track allows tool users to share challenges and benefits of different tools, flows, and methodologies. In addition, it provides excellent opportunities for education and networking benefits between end users and tool developers. The designer track differs from vendor-specific user forums in that it is not tied to a specific EDA vendor. Designers and software developers from Intel, IBM, Samsung, TI, Toshiba, Qualcomm, AMD, Freescale, and other leading IC companies will present their experiences on effective design flows, methods, and tool usage. This is an excellent way for designers to improve their "design IQ" in a short amount of time.
Submissions may describe the application of tools to the design of a novel electronic system or the integration of EDA tools within a design flow or methodology to produce such systems. A submission may be problem-specific in scope (e.g., hardware/software-based architecture exploration, analyzing substrate coupling during floorplanning) or may address a specific application domain (e.g., designing wireless handsets).
IP Track
Abstract due before 5:00pm MT, January 20, 2015
The DAC IP Track brings together Intellectual Property (IP) core designers, users, and IP ecosystem providers from across the globe including leading companies such as ARM, IBM, Imagination, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, Synopsys, TI, Toshiba, and others who will present their products and design experiences on effective design flows, methods, and tool usage. The IP Track will include lecture presentations, panels and invited talks. It offers a unique opportunity to network and learn from other industry experts.
The IP Track provides a vendor-agnostic and objective forum for designers and IP users. IP providers seeking a forum to highlight the unique advantages of their solution are encouraged to present this material in their exhibit area. On the other hand, joint customer/vendor submissions written from the perspective of the designer/developer are encouraged and are a valuable part of the IP Track.

This is a scalable context timeline. It contains events related to the event September-November 2004: ACORN Successfully Drives Minimum Wage Referendum in Florida Election, Weathers Voter Fraud Allegations. You can narrow or broaden the context of this timeline by adjusting the zoom level. The lower the scale, the more relevant the items on average will be, while the higher the scale, the less relevant the items, on average, will be.
ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) launches a campaign to register thousands of new voters in Florida, using a referendum that would raise the state's minimum wage as a method to drum up support. One study shows that the referendum, if enacted, would raise salaries among the working poor by $443 million. A coalition driven by ACORN registers some 210,000 new voters, mostly in urban areas, before Election Day. Opponents of the referendum—mostly business leaders and Florida Republicans—fight back by mounting an ad campaign comparing the effect of the raised minimum wage to the devastation wrought by Florida's recent hurricanes, and labeling it a "job killer." They also level accusations of voter fraud, accusing the coalition of filing thousands of fraudulent registrations. National and state Democrats are hesitant to embrace the referendum, even though some polls show that as many as 81 percent of Floridians support it. Presidential candidate John Kerry (D-MA) rarely mentions the referendum during his campaign swings through the state. Although Kerry loses Florida and Republicans win a majority of the Congressional elections, the referendum wins in a landslide, garnering 77 percent of the votes cast and winning in every county, including the conservative counties in the Panhandle. In 2010, author John Atlas will write, "Kerry made the fatal mistake of not publicly embracing the minimum wage ballot." [Atlas, 2010, pp. 112-114]

Bill Cunningham. [Source: WBAP 820 AM]As reported by progressive media watchdog site Media Matters, conservative radio host Bill Cunningham, host of a popular Cincinnati call-in show, implies that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the "Antichrist" and tells his audience that Obama's popularity may be a sign of the Apocalypse. Cunningham, noting that reports show Democrats have registered 666,000 new voters in Ohio, says: "And around Ohio, the number [of newly registered voters] is 666,000. Six-six-six. The mark of the beast. The great majority, of course, are registered by ACORN. The mark of the beast. And who is the beast? Who gave ACORN $800,000 as part of this criminal conspiracy? Who was the lawyer for ACORN? Who conducted ACORN seminars to tell ACORN employees and others how to cheat the system? Barack Hussein Obama. I may declare him to be the beast. Six-six-six. It could be the end of all days." Cunningham also claims that radical Black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan, who he erroneously characterizes as Obama's "buddy," calls Obama "the messiah… the son of God." 666 is the Biblical number of "The Beast," or the Antichrist, whose coming heralds the second coming of Jesus Christ and the end of days. ACORN is the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a community activist organization that works to register poor voters. Obama once represented ACORN in a lawsuit.

The press reports that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) recently submitted a voter registration form filed under the name "Mickey Mouse" to the Orange County, Florida, board of elections. Fox News co-anchors Megyn Kelly and Bill Hemmer, hosting the "straight news" program America's Newsroom, mock ACORN for filing the form. Under Florida law, ACORN is required to submit all voter registration forms even if it suspects they are bogus: failure to submit a voter registration form is punishable by a $1,000 fine. Kelly reports the form submission, and Hemmer reports that the form was rejected, saying, "ACORN says they are required to turn in every application that is filled out, even if it says Mickey Mouse." Kelly then says: "I love that, they've got the obligation to submit it no matter what it says. Mickey Mouse, Jive Turkey, which we saw yesterday. How are we to know?" ACORN official Brian Kettenring tells a Tampa Bay Times reporter, "We must turn in every voter registration card by Florida law, even Mickey Mouse." The liberal media watchdog organization Media Matters cites the pertinent Florida statute: "A third-party voter registration organization that collects voter registration applications serves as a fiduciary to the applicant, ensuring that any voter registration application entrusted to the third-party voter registration organization, irrespective of party affiliation, race, ethnicity, or gender shall be promptly delivered to the division or the supervisor of elections." If a third-party voter registration organization such as ACORN fails to submit any voter registration form, it is liable for a "fine in the amount of $1,000 for any application not submitted if the third-party registration organization or person, entity, or agency acting on its behalf acted willfully." Kettenring says he is not sure the "Mickey Mouse" voter registration form came through ACORN, though it bore a stamp indicating that it was collected by someone affiliated with the organization. ACORN has come under fire for problems with some of the forms submitted by its employees, including 35 voter registration forms submitted in Pinellas County, Florida, that the Pinellas Board of Elections considered questionable. Recent forms submitted by the organization in Las Vegas listed the names of the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys. Republicans are claiming that the "Mickey Mouse" submission and others are part of a nationwide conspiracy by ACORN to subvert the electoral process; Republican National Committee (RNC) counsel Sean Cairncross says that ACORN is a "quasicriminal organization" engaged in "a widespread and systemic effort… to undermine the election process." Kettenring says that a few of ACORN's paid voter registrars are attempting to get paid by submitting forms that are clearly not legitimate. ACORN says it fires canvassers who forge applications, citing a recent firing in Broward County of one worker who turned in applications with similar handwriting. The organization alerted the county's election supervisor to the problem. ACORN pays $8/hour for canvassers to register votes, and does not pay bonuses for volume or a specific number of signatures. The organization says officials call each name on the forms to confirm their legitimacy, but under Florida law must submit even problematic forms. [Tampa Bay Times, 10/14/2008; Media Matters, 10/14/2008] In March 2008, Fox reporters misquoted a Washington state official regarding allegations of ACORN-driven voter fraud (see May 2, 2008). Seven days before the Fox News report, officials raided the Nevada offices of ACORN in a fruitless attempt to find evidence of voters being fraudulently registered (see October 7, 2008). Four days after the report, independent factcheckers will find allegations of voter registration fraud leveled against ACORN to be entirely baseless (see October 18, 2008). Five days after the report, a Fox News guest will accuse ACORN of causing the subprime mortgage crisis (see October 19, 2008). And in 2009, Fox News host Glenn Beck will accuse ACORN and President Obama of working together to create a "slave state" within the US (see July 23, 2009).

The nervous system is among the most overworked systems of the human body, even during sleep. In this case, there is a need to take really good care of them, along with the other parts of the body. When we talk about proper care, there should be a balance between different factors that can affect the health in general, which includes diet, certain physical activities, as well as the positive mindset and attitude. The diet is considered to be the most complicated factor to balance because there are lots of challenges and temptations. That is why smart eating is usually seen to be the most important part of taking good care of the body. Healthy eating habits can also be accompanied by additional support from nutritional supplements.
In order to achieve a healthy diet and have the best product for the nerves, it is important to learn about the supplements and nutrients that contribute greatly towards keeping the nervous system healthy. Most of them cannot be obtained regularly through the foods that they eat; however, a supplemental product can be a good support. Moreover, it is still highly recommended to consult a medical professional before religiously taking these supplements. Some of the products are designed to keep the nerves healthy while others are available to help provide relief from nerve pain. You can learn more about this supplement for nerve pain to learn more.
Potassium is a known element that can affect the normal electrochemical impulses from the nerve cells towards other cells of the human body. If available in necessary level and with the help of other electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium can help normalize or regulate abnormal signals from the nerves, thus preventing conditions like seizures and nerve pain.
The B vitamins, specifically the vitamin B12, are also important in keeping the nerves healthy and addressing problems like nerve pain. Vitamin B12 has the capacity to produce new cells, which would include minute nerve cells. This would allow the body to regenerate these cells through time, resulting to an intact and well nervous system in general. It is also the vitamin B12 that can support the tissue of protective layer, called the myelin sheath, of the nerves. This can prevent any damage and provides a chance for repair and rejuvenation.
Magnesium is another important element for the nerves and the system as a whole. According to a study, an adequate supplement of magnesium in the human body has shown a promising result. The synaptic functioning of the nerves as well as the capacity of the neurons to send signals have been significantly improved. With the continuous supplementation of magnesium, there is a chance that the nerves will be kept healthy or improved despite aging and stress.
Other nutrients for the nerves include the essential fatty acids, chamomile, and calcium. Most of these vital components to help the nervous system healthy can be found in some of the best nerve supplements being offered in the market nowadays. It would help to browse the internet and do further research.

On a cold, wet day in April 2002, two budding cyclists stood at the border of Canada and The United States to start a 1,800 mile ride for charity along the west coast.
Police Officers, Neil Smith and Tony Spry had never undertaken anything like this before. Eighteen months of planning, training and fund raising lay behind them - ahead a 27 day ride to Mexico. The challenge was nicknamed 'Bobby on a Bike'. 2005 saw the Bobby on a Bike team complete another Canada to Mexico ride, in less days, increasing their daily mileage.
In 2006, they hosted an American police Dept for a ride across the UK and, in 2008, they undertook their biggest challenge to date, a mammoth 4,200 mile ride across the USA.
To date over £120,000 has been donated to charity.
"It Seemed Like a Good Idea" - The Story of Bobby on a Bike is the result of six months work to tell the story of the journey from an idea to do a small bike ride for charity, to completing challenges only the most determined could achieve...from crashing on the first day of the first ride to being escorted by seven motorcycle cops across San Francisco, from seeking refuge from severe storms to coming face to face with grizzly bears near Yellowstone National Park.
"It Seemed Like a Good Idea" is a detailed, informative and witty account of not just remarkable distances and climbs, but the human story of overcoming personal challenges.

Day #3 of the Seuss-athon brought us to the Chatsworth Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library. The Children's Librarian treated us to some of Dr. Seuss's more obscure works, including "What Was I Scared of?" from The Sneetches and Other Stories and "King Looie Katz" from I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today! and Other Stories.
The latter tale is particularly well-suited for young activists-in-training. In his book, Dr. Seuss: American Icon, scholar Philip Nel states, "Zooie's 'I QUIT!' demonstrates how activists can promote democratic ideals by speaking out and standing up for their rights."
Kudos also to the Children's Librarian for making age-appropriate Seuss biographies available at the program! Yay!
What of the Dr. Sweet Horse reference? An obscure linguistic footnote in the marginalia of Seuss's life could include the fact that "süß" means "sweet" in German, and "sus" means "horse" in Hebrew.
Both words sound like "Seuss"-- hence, Dr. Süß Sus, or, Dr. Sweet Horse. (That's quite a tasty language treat for our die-hard Seuss fan to contemplate.

The Seventeenth Pocket by Hargus Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Seventeenth Pocket by Hargus Montgomery
This book is hard to describe where do I start...when you die is there more out there or are you just gone?What if you could still talk to the love ones you lost?What if the parts of your brain you don't use are the key to doing that?What if all the doctors and powerful people in the world were trying to break that code first for the power and money that would come with that knowledge?What happens if the code is broken? Now that being said the book isn't written in a dark way its more sci-fi young adult fiction if I had to try and class it.I think this book it great for lots of age groups. Some how this writer doesn't make you feel like the story is over when someone passes its only the begining.There is so much to this story traveling to other worlds,good vs evil,so many things I don't want to spoil it for you so I will leave it at that.If you would like to try a book thats a bit different and you dont know where you will end up next in a good way I say give this book a shot for sure.I loved this book and I look forward to what this writer has to offer next.
