Generally this can be caused during the shipping process but can be corrected. This continuous movement to the right is a result of the carriage metal arm in back not hitting the stop switch. Try the carriage correction video so that you can place the carriage back onto the track and also look behind the carriage and you will see that there is a small green box with a metal switch on it. The carriage has to align with this switch in order to stop the black box or carriage. Below you will find the SC carriage correction video as well as a .pdf guide for proper carriage alignment. These will explain some common errors you may encounter which can lead to poor cuts, and how to correct the issues when they occur. Click here to download the PDF guide.

As the population and use of social media platforms increase, so does the role they play in crisis communication. This study focuses on how BP used social media, specifically Twitter, as a platform for their public relations response to the devastating 2010 Gulf Oil Spill. Additionally, this study focuses on identifying how social media users used Twitter as an avenue to reach out to BP on and voice concerns and attitudes after the spill. A content analysis of Tweets written in response to the spill was conducted and through that analysis it was determined that BP used Twitter as a way to disperse messages about how they were making things better or compensating people; while social media users used Twitter to attempt to engage with BP and voice negative opinions about many areas that were damaged because of the spill. By identifying how BP used Twitter and restoration strategies in the wake of the spill, it is possible to compare their use to best practices that have developed through academic research and existing case studies where social media and restoration strategy was used effectively. This can identify why BP's response was not well received. By identifying how social media users used Twitter, it is possible to use this case study as an example of the importance of engaging with users and identifying areas of concern. This study has implications for public relations practitioners and all professionals who are charged with creating crisis communication plans. Limitations of the study and recommendations for future research were included.

When We Get Hurt
I was at a café when something happened that invoked a reaction in me I never expected.
A mother was sitting at a table with her little girl who looked to be about two years old. The toddler was playing on a chair, even though her mom repeatedly told her to sit down and not play on the chair. All of a sudden, the little girl lost her balance and fell on the hard ceramic floor, sharply hitting her tiny head.
I've never seen someone move as fast as this mom did. With lightning-fast agility, she swooped in, kicked the chair out of the way, and scooped her little girl up into her arms. Inspecting her forehead, which instantly had a knot on it, she carressed her daughter's little face and whispered soothing words in her ear.
I'm sitting right there, watching this unfold, and just burst into tears. I couldn't help it. Hearing the little girl's sobs made my heart just ache. How many times has that been me? Playing on the chair when I was told not to. And how many times have I cried and cried because I hurt myself?
When we fall, how much faster is He to rush in and scoop us up?
How even more tender and concerned is He when His children hurt themselves, even when we hurt because of our own disobedience? Don't play on the chair... don't play on the chair... yet we can't resist.
We do what we want, and we get hurt, yet still God rushes to our aid, loving us, comforting us.
That is who He is. To believe that a loving Father, who loves us perfectly, would do less than that is to believe a lie about who God is.
When we fall, when we're hurting, He is near. But here's the thing: we must allow Him care for us just as the little girl didn't resist the arms of her mom, but literally fell into them. The little girl does have a bump on her head but is laughing again and barely seems to remember what just happened. What an encouragement to remember, that even the worst hurts will eventually feel better.

Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto and a Malaysian firm are to undertake a joint study to build what could be one of the world's biggest aluminum smelters, a source said yesterday.
Under an agreement expected to be signed on Tuesday, Rio Tinto Aluminium and Cahaya Mata Sarawak Bhd would carry out the study for a US$2 billion smelter in Similajau, Sarawak.
The smelter was expected to begin production in 2010, said an industry source familiar with the plan.
"If the project takes off, it has the potential to be one of the biggest aluminum smelters in the world," the source said.
Power from the controversial Bakun dam in Sarawak on Borneo island was expected to supply the bulk of energy needs for the smelter, the source said.
The dam, which involves flooding an area the size of Singapore, has attracted fierce criticism because of its harmful impact on the environment and the fact that 10,000 residents have already had to evacuate the project site.
Sarawak chief minister Abdul Taib Mahmud last month said the state's economy would be fuelled by power-hungry industries ranging from alumimium smelting to biodiesel production by 2020.
As part of the Rio Tinto Group, Rio Tinto Aluminium owns and manages mining, refining and smelting assets mainly situated in Australia and New Zealand.

Charles shakes hands with former IRA gun runner as Ireland trip ends
The Prince of Wales has ended his visit to Ireland by shaking hands with a former IRA gun runner who said the trip was another step on the "peace and reconciliation" journey the British Government and Irish republicans are making.
Charles met Martin Ferris, a Sinn Fein MP in the Irish parliament, as his four-day visit to Northern Ireland and the Republic with the Duchess of Cornwall drew to a close.
At a garden party staged in Killarney in County Kerry, the two men warmly shook hands in the grounds of Killarney House and exchanged a few words.
Royal visit to Republic of Ireland
Mr Ferris said about Charles's visit to the area, his fourth trip to Ireland in as many years: "I think it's a wonderful occasion again, it's a big boost to Kerry from a tourism perspective.
"From a national perspective it's another step on the peace and reconciliation journey that both Prince Charles and the British Government and the British royal family are involved with along with Republicans on this island."
The 2011 visit by the Queen to Ireland was seen as a watershed moment in Anglo-Irish relations, ushering in closer ties between the two nations as they reconciled their difficult shared histories.
The Sinn Fein MP went on to highlight the historic visit by the British head of state and how she paid her respects at a monument in Dublin to those who gave their lives for Irish freedom.
Mr Ferris said: "I think the Queen when she visited a number of years back and visited the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin was a huge statement and also going to Croke Park, the home of Gaelic football, and meeting Martin McGuinness."
Earlier Camilla had kicked off her shoes to feel the sand beneath her feet when she joined Charles on a beach to highlight the scourge of plastic pollution.
Royal visit to Republic of Ireland
Camilla quickly removed her 2in heels when the couple walked on to Derrynane beach to hear about the work of local schoolchildren collecting waste from the shore.
Charles told his wife "you'll get sand in your shoes" when she later slipped them back on her stocking feet.
Before getting into a helicopter, which had brought the royals to the stunning south-west Irish coastline, she could be seen shaking the sand from her footwear.
Royal visit to Republic of Ireland
Nearby was the home of the celebrated 19th century campaigner Daniel O'Connell, who championed Catholic emancipation and was a leading figure in the fight to abolish slavery.
The heir to his throne and his wife toured the mansion and met descendants of the lawyer and statesman whose beliefs have influenced successive world figures.
Rickard O'Connell, the campaigner's great-great-great-grandson, said about the royal visit: "It means an awful lot. There have been periods when his legacy wasn't as recognised or kept alive through different periods but I think more and more there's a real recognition how relevant he is today.
"Things like anti-slavery, universal rights, talking about the suffrage movement celebrating their hundred years recently, he was one of the early proponents of a lot of those movements.
"The peaceful element was critically what he was about."

First, ask yourself if there is something specific you want to do. For example, do I want...
The best way to volunteer is to match your personality and interests. Having answers to these questions will help you narrow down your search.

Every day, individuals go without essential services while help is readily available.
The Heart of Illinois 2-1-1 provides comprehensive information and referral line to connect callers to critical health and human care programs throughout Peoria, Tazewell, Woodford, Marshall, Stark and Putnam counties.
By Greg Chance, Advanced Medical Transport
One of the better known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Unpaid volunteers are often the "glue" that holds a community together. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Even helping out with the most minor task can make a real difference in the lives of people, animals or organizations in need.
Volunteering is a fun and easy way to explore your interests and passions. Doing volunteer work which you find meaningful and interesting can be a relaxing, energizing escape from your day-to-day routine. Many people volunteer in order to make time for hobbies outside of work. For example, if you have a desk job and long to spend time outdoors, you might want to consider volunteering to help plant a community garden, walk dogs for an animal shelter or help out at a summer children's camp.
Your volunteering experience will be richer and more enjoyable if you first take some time to identify your goals and interests. Start by thinking about why you want to volunteer; then think about what you would enjoy doing. Volunteer opportunities that match both your goals and your interests are most likely to be fun and fulfilling for you.
In the Greater Peoria Region, there are numerous volunteer positions that you would enjoy, and at which you are capable of being successful. It is also critical to make sure your commitment matches the organization's needs.
Advanced Medical Transport (AMT) would like to make finding these matches with organizations easier by offering a new volunteer-opportunity portal on the Heart of Illinois 2-1-1 website at 211hoi.org. We have integrated volunteer opportunities into the website's extensive help and assistance database.
By using the "Find Volunteer Opportunities" link on the home page of 211hoi.org, you can search and explore volunteer opportunities from an array of different organizations within the Greater Peoria Region. You can sort and filter based on the category, location or keyword of the volunteer opportunity you are trying to match. Information on who to contact and the needs of the organization are available for each opportunity to make sure you can find the match that best fits you. In addition, organizations that are seeking volunteers are able to submit their information via the portal so they can become part of the database.
AMT and the Heart of Illinois 2-1-1… helping people get connected and get answers regarding volunteer opportunities.
Greg Chance is Vice President of Strategy for Advanced Medical Transport.
After the November 2013 tornado, central Illinois residents continue to unite in support of their neighbors, family, friends and coworkers who lost their homes in Tazewell County. The Heart of Illinois United Way established a tornado relief fund to support long-term recovery needs of central Illinois in the aftermath of the natural disaster.
Survivors of a natural disaster need concise calming and coping strategies to help for both short and long-term needs. To identify and respond to local emotional health needs, the Heart of Illinois United Way has produced the book, Rebuilding Hope after a Natural Disaster: Pathways to Emotional Healing and Recovery.
The purpose of this book is to provide valuable assistance to survivors, caregivers and support groups. Included are personal first-hand experience stories, emotional recovery strategies, and resources for a variety of post-disaster time periods and age groups. "Rebuilding Hope" is meant to serve as an effective tool to offer emotional support during the healing process, to help communities recover, and to ultimately rebuild hope.
For more information and to download or read the book online, visit hoiunitedway.org/tornadorelief.
Help for the lingering trauma of surviving a natural disaster
In the years following a disaster, symptoms of anxiety can still be present years following an event. When individuals do not recognize anxiety symptoms as being associated with a traumatic event, they can often turn to unhealthy coping skills or behavioral patterns to manage their feelings. It is important for citizens of a town that has experienced a disaster to be aware of how anxiety can manifest in the years following the event. While an individual may not experience these symptoms directly, they can help their friend, family member, or loved one, by encouraging them to talk about how they are feeling. If the person is need does not feel comfortable discussing the issue, they can be referred to an online support group, counselor, to a clergy member, or to any person they trust. Know the signs, know the symptoms, and know the numbers to call.
Connecting those in need to critical social services is only a call away. The Heart of Illinois 2-1-1 team understands that finding the assistance you need to lead a healthy, stable life can be challenging and oftentimes, overwhelming.
The Heart of Illinois 2-1-1's free, confidential hotline offers people a convenient way to access a wide variety of services from basic necessities such as food and shelter to parenting programs such as child care and after-school services.

The team at 2-1-1 is always available to direct you to various warming sites and to the resources that you need in winter.
One highly effective way to break the cycle of poverty is for a child to have a relationship with a positive, older role model. Studies show that when paired with a mentor, young people are more likely to stay in and succeed in school, are less likely to engage in risky behavior, and are more likely to show improved self esteem. It is vitally important that young people have mentors to look up to. The more successful our youth are, the more success we as a community will be.

Minimum Wage Negotiations Resume
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Unions are ramping up pressure on Minnesota lawmakers to strike a deal on the minimum wage.
A House-Senate conference committee held its first public session since early March. The room was packed Tuesday with public employee union members, who also held a rally about the minimum wage and other priorities. They are working to convince Democratic lawmakers, who control both chambers, to break a logjam on the wage issue.
There seems to be consensus about raising the state's minimum wage from $6.15 per hour to $9.50 per hour. How fast remains a point of discussion. There's also dispute about whether to automatically hike the wage in future years to account for inflation.
Senate Democrats have said they lack the votes to pass a bill with an automatic bump later on.

Presidential Executive Order 10/12/2017
Today President Trump signed an executive order that will be the first step to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. The order will task the administration with creating policies that will increase competition and improve the overall quality of health care. In his statement, President Trump said the order would "cost the United States government virtually nothing and people will have great great healthcare."
What May the Order do?
The intent of the order is to expand the accessibility of association health plans. Association health plans are groups of employers in the same trade that join together and are then able to purchase plans that are typically only available to large employers. With this order, Trump will try and expand their availability and remove the requirement to adhere to the Affordable Care Act laws. The main way this will lower healthcare costs would be by excluding the Affordable Care Act's 10 essential health benefits. President Trump directed the administration to also develop rules that would allow short-term medical coverage to be offered by commercial insurers to individuals.

The Audi Q3 S is simply a cheaper version of the hot-selling Q3. The 'S' moniker, usually reserved for sportier versions of cars, is Audi's smart way of luring buyers, and giving the car a proclivity of sporting character. Of course, the astute car buyer knows that Audi's sportier models use the letter 'S' as a prefix, not a suffix. Hence, a hot version of the Q3 would be the SQ3, and not the Q3 S.

Dear Valuable Girl,
We all crave kindness from the center of our souls. There is something healing, beautiful and necessary about kindness, isn't there?
What if the kindest thing you could ever do for YOURSELF is to simply LET YOURSELF be happy, to LET YOURSELF enjoy your life, to LET YOURSELF be who you are, to LET YOURSELF BE.
Instead of beating yourself up over every decision, every flaw, every mistake, every little tiny picked-apart lack of perfection…
…what if you just LET YOURSELF BE OK?
This is something that no one else can do for you, sweet friend. LET YOURSELF BE. Give yourself a break. Give yourself some grace. Give yourself some kindness.
Look yourself in the eyes and simply say, I am giving you permission to BE — and not just to BE but to BE AWESOME, TO BE HAPPY, TO BE EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE.
You are so kind to others. Turn it around and give some of your beautiful love to your own soul. You need it, friend. You are worth it. And you are meant to have it.
You are so very loved.

A good question…
Today I have worked my socks off on the dratted REF. A whole day has flown by in a whirl of editing, reformatting, tweaking, hard thinking, chasing evidence, updating spreadsheets, databases and submission systems. Sad to admit, it was quite good fun and yes! I do feel proud! The beast is almost there, just one last thing to write (waiting on somebody else to do their bit) and then I can feel like it is finished.
Of course I felt like it was almost finished a few weeks ago, but then some more of my "responsibilities" were explained to me. No doubt there are more waiting to leap out on me.
Thank goodness it is Friday.

EHWLC Alumni
British Airways Crew Member
After doing my A levels I wanted to continue my education. I knew that I wanted to work in Aviation, but that I wanted a specific course that would prepare me for a career in the industry.
I found a course at Ealing, Hammersmith & West London College called NCFE Level 2 Introduction to Cabin Crew and once I began this course, I learned the basics of what's needed to work as cabin crew. In class we participated in role plays, and used a mock-up cabin in assessment, running a flight scenario from beginning to end. Some of our classes were about emergency situations and these were exciting but challenging. We always focussed on customer services and even studied mannerisms and body language.
One of the highlights for me was when real cabin crew came in to talk to us at College. We learnt so much from them. We also had the opportunity to visit British Airways as part of the course, which was really inspiring.
If you want something, the teachers will always help you. They supported me in my application for a cabin crew position at Ryanair. I worked for Ryanair for four months and was based in Italy. I really benefitted from the opportunity to live and work abroad.
I am currently working for British Airways and at the moment am on a six month secondment working in their Community Learning Centre. My role involves showing group visits around the airline's headquarters as well as working closely with the trainers when they deliver their sessions. In August I will return to my cabin crew role which I really enjoy. I love the job as it is always different, the atmosphere is buzzing and energetic and no two days are the same. I enjoy meeting and greeting customers and of course travelling. I've been to Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Paris and many more.
I would say one of the best things about my time at the College was the tutors. The tutors continued to help me after I had finished the course and they put me in touch with other former students who had been successful. If you want to stay in touch with your tutors you'll be a student forever, as they always invite you back. My course was a great insight into the job role and gave me a real head start on working as cabin crew.
My ambitions for the future are to become a Customer Services Manager on board and maybe an Airport Manager one day. I also would love to visit Australia and Singapore with British Airways.

Man Charged With Fathering 13-Year Old's Child
May 31, 2012
A Molino man is free on bond this morning after being charged with fathering a child with a 13-year old girl.
Michael Lee King, 26, was charged with three felonies — sexual battery, lewd and lascivious battery, and child abuse. He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $25,000 bond.
According to an arrest report, King first had non-consensual sex in 2010 with the girl when she was 12 years old. Their sexual encounters continued for over a year, she told investigators, until King was arrested on unrelated charges in August.
At age 13, the girl became pregnant, giving birth at age 14, according to the Escambia County Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office obtained a voluntary DNA sample from the 14-year old girl and baby, and obtained a search warrant for a DNA sample from King. According to a Florida Department of Law Enforcement lab report, there was a 99.99 percent probability that King was the father of the child.
King did not provide deputies with a statement prior to his arrest, according to a Sheriff's Office report.
At the time of his arrest, King listed his address as a trailer park on Barth Road in Molino. He previously resided on Highway 164 in McDavid, according to jail records. The abuse incidents occurred in McDavid, according to the arrest report.

To all you claiming we don't know "the whole story", feel free to elaborate. Someone with his DNA impregnated at 13 year old girl, that can't be disputed. So, what's the defense? Did aliens implant it, or was he forced at gunpoint to perform? Did a DNA expert make up false reports. I'm really curious how anyone can possibly defend his actions.
Mom on
June 1st, 2012 10:43 pm
DNA doesn't lie! Even if this girl wanted to participate in sexual activity, she cannot legally consent! Plus, he is (supposed) to be an adult; he should know better! Again, DNA doesn't lie. The physical evidence points to this man having sexual relations with a child! How anyone can defend him is beyond me!

Did it not say that the DNA test proved he was the father of this CHILD's baby? Ok so hmmm let's look at this…..if he is the father how do you think he became the father? Do all of you supporters of this man need a lesson in the birds and bees? He had sex with this child, period!!! It does not matter if she consented like some of you are saying she did, he still had sex with a minor. Or are you trying to say it is not his fault, that she attacked him? I mean really how is it NOT HIS fault? He is a grown man. I feel like some of you that are supporting him that say they have children and would let him watch your children need to be investigated by the Department of Child and family services because your children are in danger of the same thing happening to them.

Hey, when he goes to court, he has a fighting chance, There still is a .01 chance that he isn't the father. One of them savvy big city lawyers could get him off on this technicality.

2 sides to every story? Puuuleassee…. DNA test results, the child walking around, that is proof POSITIVE that this grown person had sex with this CHILD. He gets a 25000 $ bond for something he did, while other people that make one mistake, end up with a half million $ bond. Jeesh this is ridiculous….

what is wrong with the picture point blank he's a child molester and the cousin should be in jail for let this man touch a 12 year old girl were the 2 kids in this home ,how many others little girls that he molested in the neighborhood are the
little one at home maybe he can go stay with the lawer or the judge house play in their neighborhood then sick sexual preadator might have i long stay and taught
eye for eye tooth for tooth any whats taught to child molester in jail and the meaning molester this is a very sick person thanks to judge and lawers just want a dollar thats right give me a dollar you get out off jail free

Did some of you great friends of his miss where the first time he molested
this young girl she was just 12? The proof is now in the puddin she had
a child herself and it belongs to him! Do any of you backwoods supporters
even understand DNA?
As far as the JUDGE sets bail to make sure he shows up, how can he
be sure he will show up when someone shows up and pays the bail?
Now he walks the streets and what kind of torment is that for this child?
Let's don't even THINK about the fact he is a predator and will be looking
for his next victim. Obviously he doesn't do a lot of work looking or go
to far from home, so his wife and all you defending him better think twice
about having him near your little girls!!!

Florida Statute 800.04
LEWD OR LASCIVIOUS BATTERY.—A person who:
(a) Engages in sexual activity with a person 12 years of age or older but less than 16 years of age; or
(b) Encourages, forces, or entices any person less than 16 years of age to engage in sadomasochistic abuse, sexual bestiality, prostitution, or any other act involving sexual activity
commits lewd or lascivious battery, a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
(a) A person who intentionally touches in a lewd or lascivious manner the breasts, genitals, genital area, or buttocks, or the clothing covering them, of a person less than 16 years of age, or forces or entices a person under 16 years of age to so touch the perpetrator, commits lewd or lascivious molestation.
(b) An offender 18 years of age or older who commits lewd or lascivious molestation against a victim less than 12 years of age commits a life felony, punishable as provided in s. 775.082(3)(a)4.
PROHIBITED DEFENSES.—Neither the victim's lack of chastity nor the victim's consent is a defense to the crimes proscribed by this section.
Michael Lee King violated multiple Florida Statutes. His actions were illegal. He is a criminal simply due to the fact that he is 26 years old and the victim was under 16 years old, even if the child consented. So, for those of you that are defending his actions, regardless of the child's actions – he is an adult and is therefore accountable for his actions. Poor choice on his part. It's like I always say, any of us are capable of bad judgement – And we are all just one choice away from being incarcerated. He made a choice.

He loves his kids?! and apparently loved a 12 year old girl a little to much! You people defending him are just as sick as he is if you believe he has done nothing wrong! It doesn't matter if the child was okay with what he was doing or not, he is an adult who should know better than to have sex with a child! C'mon! This just blows my mind that people would defend that!
This sick perverted predator of children belongs behind bars for the rest of his life. Period. Can't wait to see that happen, I may just get a pen pal at that prison to make sure all of them know why he's there.

There is NOTHING "great" about a man who would do this to a child! … It shocks me to see people support this man in any way … family or not… this is a horrible thing to happen to that child… if I was a judge I would be worried about him being able to live with his kids … if a man has no control and would do this to a 13 y/o he probably has some more issues … just saying

truth is, he is going to prison, period……. some people on here says that he is a good man, father and husband. yall are deceived… if he was a good husband , he wouldnt have slept with a child to start with. He is a sick poor excuse of a man. He doesnt need to be around kids period…. There is no excuse, he broke the law. He was the adult and knew better and will be punished accordingly. The law is the law and he broke it. We had someone prosecuted for this same crime with the exception that there was no pregnancy, and we were told that it didnt matter if she laid down and consented or not, he was an adult and knew better and he received life in prison…… I hope the same for this sick man. He ruined the life of this child and deserves everything that he gets. Stupid, stupid, what is this world coming to….

Well, a grown man in the world with kids, has a 99.9 percent chance that a 14 year old girl gave birth to a child that's his. A little girl's innocents tooken away for life. What goes around comes around. And there was a person to put up 2500 to bail him back on the streets. Well, a eye for a eye, a tooth for a tooth, I don't see thta counrty boy surviving behind bars

You people defending this man just don't understand. Here's the plain truth that you cannot dispute….
1. The paternity test done by the state crime lab says it is his child. Undisputable proof that something happened at least once.
2. Is does not matter if he loved her, she loved him or anything like that. Feeling don't matter. Any "adult" contact between the two of them, which happened at least once according to the crime lab, is AGAINST THE LAW.
Period. End of story. He needs a good lawyer and a plea agreement. Just sayin.

Please try to give some thought to that comment.
You are saying because the parents did something which placed them in jail, they are not responsible at all for harm done to their children during their stint.
Please try to wrap your head around the concept that their actions endangered their daughter, assuming your claim to be true.

@Mnon – Chemical castration will only destroy the ammuntion, not the weapon – if you know what I mean.
As far as I am concerned, the PARENTS are 100% as the blame for the start of the problem. If they had been better humans to start with they would have taught the child right as well as they would not have been in jail to leave her to be put in this position.
I can understand the girl not reporting it until scumbag here was in jail because he probably threatened her life if she told anyone. If I were a 12 year old girl I wouldn't try to make this guy mad.
Next is the scumbag himself. Rape is one thing but rape of a 12 year old is horrendus. It's people like this SOB that keeps decent people from commenting on how cute someones baby or kids are because they don't know why you are looking at the kids.
Lastly, the judicial system should be thrown in jail for assiting in this crime. Where is the girl now? Another foster home or a shelter for unweb mothers? I hope she is protected because now this creep is out of jail and being the fine upstanding citizen he is, could go after her –
God bless her and her baby – May they see more good in the world than bad and life, as bad as it's been, make a 180 turn for them.

OK, so this was a child in foster care. Why? Because her PARENTS are in JAIL? How is this not partially their fault? If her parents were not in jail this child would never have lived at the home she was raped in. I pray that this child comes to know the love of Jesus if she doesn't already. Only his love, mercy, and grace can restore this child. I pray for everyone involved, the innocent and the guilty. This breaks my heart.

He has no business on the street. He is a sexual predator. It is just a matter of time before he finds another victim to molest. In his mind he has done nothing wrong. I never mentioned he is a man, because he is no "Man". Areal man would never do this to anyone!

Media training! "Is that really necessary?"
YES! Yes it is.
Even the most seasoned spokesperson – including the CEO – needs media training and regular refresher sessions. It's important not to lose sight of this as part of your Thought Leadership Strategy.
We previously worked with a CEO who did not take media training seriously (this client shall remain nameless for reasons you'll agree are obvious!). Despite our repeated attempts to counsel and even warn him about the damage that could result from not being prepared, he accepted what he thought would be a friendly interview with ABC's 20/20. Well, friendly it was not and the CEO failed miserably at managing the situation. Needless to say, we held intensive media training sessions thereafter!
If you're still not convinced, let's talk about media training in terms a CEO most DEFINITELY will understand. Media training = meeting preparation. Getting ready for a press interview is as important, if not more so, than planning a business meeting – and not just during crisis communication. After all, when you're speaking with the media, your responses reach audiences well beyond the conference room. In addition, different communication techniques are required when utilizing the voice of the media to influence vs. directly communicating with your audience as you do at a meeting.
So when you're deciding if interview preparation is worth your time, remember that you would never walk into a board meeting, new business pitch, negotiation or quarterly investors' presentation without doing your homework. Give the same respect to the interview process and you'll reap the benefits.
In upcoming posts we're going to explore the dos and don'ts of media training, such as:
- Messaging: although you may know your company inside and out, there are tips to effectively communicate your strategic positioning in an interview.
- The successful sound bite: the ability to provide responses in a comprehensive yet concise manner takes much practice. All reporters edit down quotes – be sure they include the right information from your interview.
- TV, radio, print: what's the difference when giving an interview?
Throughout this Media Training series, we invite you to share your media training experiences and advice, and to ask questions to keep the discussion going.

The group comprised of 62 students ranging from standard 4, 5, and 6, 3 teachers and 10 parents. The presentation was done by Ms. Ingrid Soriano and Ms. Mary August, Parliamentary Officer 1 where by the students were given a brief description of the historical background of the National Assembly, the composition of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the functions of the legislative branch of government. The students also had the privilege of seeing the Mace and were given a brief history of its historical background of the design and the significant role it plays in the sitting of the House of Representatives.
At the end of the presentation the students asked various questions and were also tested by Ms. Soriano asking them questions to see if they had learned anything. Kudos to the students who answered all questions correctly.
To arrange for a tour of the National Assembly Building, visitors can call the Office of the Clerk at (501)822-2141 or send an email to email@example.com.

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) will inflate the orbiting lab's brand-new experimental habitat module this morning (May 26), and you can watch all of the action live.
NASA astronaut Jeff Williams will lead the deployment of the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM), agency officials said. You can watch the BEAM module's inflation live here, courtesy of NASA TV. The webcast began at 5:30 a.m. EDT (0930 GMT) Thursday, and the inflation was expected to begin 40 minutes later. The entire inflation process is expected to take several hours, according to a NASA officials.
Expandable space habitats like BEAM, which was built by Nevada-based Bigelow Aerospace, provide more usable internal volume per unit of launch mass than traditional rigid modules do, advocates say.
Bigelow has already launched two free-flying inflatable modules to orbit — Genesis I and Genesis II, in 2006 and 2007, respectively. But those missions were uncrewed, so the expansion of BEAM will mark the first time astronauts test out the technology in space.
Researchers plan to investigate how BEAM performs in orbit — specifically, how it protects against space junk, solar radiation and temperature extremes, NASA officials said. If all goes according to plan, ISS crewmembers will enter BEAM several times a year over the next two years to acquire sensor data and see how the module is holding up.
Astronauts plan to enter BEAM for the first time next week on June 2, NASA officials said.
The 3,000-lb. (1,360 kilograms) BEAM arrived at the ISS on April 10 aboard SpaceX's robotic Dragon cargo capsule.
In its compressed configuration, the module measures 7.1 feet long by 7.75 feet wide (2.16 by 2.36 meters). When fully expanded, BEAM will be 13.16 feet long and 10.5 feet wide (4.0 by 3.2 m) and will provide 565 cubic feet (16 cubic m) of habitable volume, NASA officials said.
Bigelow Aerospace is dreaming much bigger than BEAM: The company is developing an expandable module called the B330, which will feature 11,650 cubic feet (330 cubic m) of internal volume. Bigelow envisions launching B330s to serve as private space stations and the backbone of human outposts on the moon and Mars.
There's more spaceflight action on tap Thursday as well. At 5:40 p.m. EDT (2140 GMT), SpaceX plans to launch the Thaicom-8 communications satellite from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, then attempt to land the first stage of the company's Falcon 9 rocket on a robotic ship in the Atlantic Ocean.

Cardinals Still Winless
The Mets used a strong performance by pitcher John Maine to shut-out the Cardinals. Maine tossed for seven innings and struck out six cardinals, and he only allowed only one hit in those seven innings. In opposition, Cardinals starter Brandon Looper struggled though his six innings giving up eight hits, one of those a two-run home run to Carlos Beltran.
In addition to his home run in the sixth, Beltran hit another in the seventh frame. A pre season MVP favorite, Jose Reyes hit a home run of his own in the seventh.
The Cardinals only managed two hits on the night. The Cardinals have only scored two runs in their three games this season. The offense is struggling, and the Cards have given up 20 runs in the three contests.
The Cardinals next game is Saturday at 8:05 p.m. in Houston where they will take on the Houston Astros. Defending National League Cy Young Award winner Chris Carpenter was scheduled to make his second start, but he is injured and Adam Wainwright will start in his place.

Recently a person contacted me to say that he had read Ernest Becker's 1974 book, The Denial of Death, and felt that it was more or less entirely worthless because what Becker wrote about homosexuality was outdated and wrong. I have heard similar strong criticisms of Becker's work because he failed to directly criticize patriarchy and his language follows the style of using male pronouns. We do, of course, always have to be willing to criticize (that is, read critically) authors of earlier times. But I am not sure it is fair or just (or good scholarship) to dismiss an author because he or she reflects in specific instances the standards and assumptions of his or her own time rather than out own. I have no idea what the standards and assumptions will be 50 or 100 years from now, but I am sure that my current writing will violate something. I hope the readers of the future, if they be kind enough then to still read anything I have written, will do so with grace and a critical eye. Anyway, here is what I wrote in reply to this gentleman:
"I am sympathetic with you for what you went through in coming to terms with your sexual orientation during a time [1970s] in which homosexuality was still extremely taboo in this country. I have heard personal stories about this struggle from a number of close friends. I can only say that I respect you for what you went through and for bearing the brunt of the social prejudices, opening the doors so that it is at least somewhat easier for the current generation of adolescents and young adults.
You are, of course, absolutely correct that Ernest Becker was a human being, a man of his time, and despite his insights into certain aspects of the human situation, his thinking in a number of areas was not particularly progressive. It would be a tragic mistake to approach any of Becker's texts as some sort of fixed scriptural cannon from which only pearls of truth and wisdom magically emerge. His texts also are only all too human.
Therefore, we can and must simply jettison and ignore what Becker wrote about particular religious, social and political issues of his time, including especially his few statements about women and homosexuality (which, while not particularly progressive to our ears, were actually much less patriarchal and homophobic than much of what was in the literature of that time.) That said, many of us have found key aspects of Becker's work (most specifically, the death anxiety thesis) that continue to be very useful in constructing a more liberated ethic and philosophy in our time. It helps us understand at a deep level the ins and outs of human motivation, both at an individual and collective level. It lends itself well to explicating dynamics of transference, idolization, scapegoating, alienation, disgust, and many more, tying these various dynamics together and showing that they spring from a common source.
That hermeneutic continues to keep Becker's work fresh. For example, while what Becker wrote about homosexuality fairly well followed the standard line of established psychoanalytic theory of the 1960s, might it not be that the death anxiety thesis does contribute to understanding some of the key human dynamics involved in the social ostracism of sexual minorities during the 1970s (and, unfortunately, ongoing into our own time, though hopefully that prejudicial ostracism is abating)?
Perhaps, given your experience with Becker's text 40 years ago it is impossible to approach this work with anything but contempt. That is certainly understandable. At the same time, as said, many of us have found the death anxiety thesis to be of continuing value, and that by standing on Becker's shoulders (so to speak) we can see much farther than Becker ever could or than we could without him."

Mumbai, Aug 19 :
The Indian cricket team's fielding coach Trevor Penney and bowling coach Joe Dawes were the first casualties in the aftermath of the 1-3 Test series loss to England. The duo were "dropped" Tuesday for the upcoming one-day series while former India captain Ravi Shastri was appointed director of the team.
Though under-fire Duncan Fletcher will continue as head coach, his wings were clipped by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) with the appointment of Shastri as the overall in-charge of the team.
"In culmination of the discussions among all the office-bearers over the last couple of weeks, the BCCI has decided to avail the services of former India captain Ravi Shastri to oversee and guide the Indian cricket team for the forthcoming One-Day International (ODI) matches against England," said a BCCI statement.
"Duncan Fletcher will continue as head coach while Ravi Shastri will be the overall in-charge of cricket affairs of the Indian team."
On Penney and Dawes, the official line from BCCI was that they were given a break for the five-match ODI series beginning Aug 25 but a top official said that they have been dropped.
"They have actually been dropped. We will take a call on both Penney and Dawes after the series in over," a top BCCI official told IANS.
The BCCI has also appointed former India all-rounder Sanjay Bangar and former fast bowler Bharat Arun as the assistant coaches while R. Sridhar will join the as the fielding coach for the ODI series.
It was after five years that BCCI has appointed Indians as assistant coaches. Venkatesh Prasad and Robin Singh, who were appointed in 2007, were sacked as the bowling and the fielding coaches in 2009.

Well, after a wonderful week trying to get our washing machine fixed, we decided to buy a new one. Now, I didn't get my number 1 or 2 or 3 or 4th choice but we did a GREAT one for a great price. It is the new Maytag that just came out. And because it was just out the computer system at Home Depot still had the old price in it so we got it for that price and they still took ten percent off of that! It is one that will last our family for many, many years we pray.
Now, Isaac has been a challenge this week. Not with his behavior, but with a funny rash. He came down with a rash on his trunk on Sunday. Then on Tuesday it was covering him from head to toe so I took him to our pediatrician, who tested him for strep and scarlet fever. Both tested negative. He didn't even have a temp at all. They then decided that he had an allergic reaction to something…what we don't know.
Then on Thursday he came down with a little temp and just not himself. AFter talking to my mom I decided to take him back to the peds office. They had two doctors look at him. Both decided that it looked like strep, but he tested negative again for that! They said they are sticking with a reaction of some sort.
Then that night I went to SWI class at school and Dave took the kids home. At about 6:30 I was eating and a lady came into the school cafeteria and said…"Is there a Becky Ferraro here?" I told them that was me and she told me there was a man on the phone and he said it was urgent. I tried to call Dave about 3 times and each time I got the answering machine. I just knew something horrible was wrong.
My friend and I went to the school's operator and asked if a Dave Ferraro called, the man said yes. I asked if he left a message, he said no, only that he was looking for his wife and it was urgent.
I told where I would be if he called again. With no cell phones I knew I couldn't reach him or him me. I then called our two hospitals that Dave would go to. Each said that they did not have a child with that last name.
I went to class and told our presidents wife what was going on. She told me she was going to give the operator her cell number so he could reach her ASAP. About 15 mins. later I see her in the hall and the operator in the hall, and she says "Dave called again he is at ________hospital in the ER waiting on a doctor, you need to go there right away." My knees went weak. I knew that God was in control and that I had no power to do anything!
My friend drove me to the ER and we found Isaac on a table and Dave with two toddlers at his feet. We came to find out, Dave was in the middle of making dinner when Isaac said his head hurt. He then went on to say he was hot and his eyes hurt. Dave took his temp and it was 104.5 under the arm. Isaac then said he couldn't see anything. Dave got very scared and called the doctor who said to head right to the ER. Dave tried to call me, but couldn't wait any longer.
The doctors at the hospital did more tests and still think that the rash is a reaction and are not sure what the temp is from. It could be totally unrelated!!! Crazy stuff I tell you.
Now, please pray for our Isaac and the others in hope that they don't get sick.
Oh and tonight was parents night out and we had dinner plans with another couple that we had to cancel. That makes us a little sad.

Tri-nation bike expedition to boost border ties
A 33 member bikers-' team of Assam Rifles (AR) troupes arrived in Tripura through Akhaura checkpoint from Bangladesh on Thursday.
Agartala (Tripura) : A 33 member bikers' team of Assam Rifles (AR) troupes arrived in Tripura through Akhaura checkpoint from Bangladesh on Thursday.
The bikers are conducting a Tri-Nation Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel Unity and Heritage Motorcycle Expedition. They will be traveling in India, Bangladesh and Myanmar in a 7-day tour.
The tour was flagged off by Meghalaya Governor Ganga Prasad from Shillong to Sylhet in Bangladesh on 30 October.
The team met freedom fighter of 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War at various stopover points.
Brigadier Ashwani Nayyar of Commander 21 Sector AR said, "It will foster friendship and greater bonhomie and coordination between our border guarding forces. Also, it will improve the contacts between two security forces and the two governments and foster friendship between the nations."
The expedition team will pass through the six Northeastern states of Meghalaya, Assam, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram and Tripura to enter Myanmar to complete the 2150 km long expedition tour.
The team will also pay homage at various war memorials and graves of Indian martyrs during the Second World War on the foreign soil.
The aim of the Expedition is to foster force to force connection with border guarding forces of Bangladesh, Myanmar and India, besides bringing bonhomie between the three nations as well as the role in ensuring the security and stability in the North East region.
The entire expedition has been designed to spread the message of peace, harmony and national integration across the states and the International border.

Employee vs Contractor
There is no black and white answer when deciding if someone is an employee or contractor, just several shades of grey.
In a dispute, the Employment Court applies complex legal tests to determine the 'real nature of the relationship', and their decision can have significant financial implications if you have incorrectly treated an employee as a contractor.
Employees generally work a specified number of hours each week, at prescribed times, for a standard hourly wage or salary (sometimes with overtime allowances). An employment contract usually prevents them working for anyone else. Most importantly, they are protected by the Employment Relations Act and Holidays Act.
Contractors, meanwhile, are self-employed, are not entitled to sick leave or holidays and the Employment Relations Act does not apply. Contractors have significantly fewer rights in a dispute situation, and can generally be dismissed for just about any reason. In return for this added risk they have more flexibility in their work, and may be paid a higher rate. They often bring their own tools, and pay for their own training. They can usually choose their hours, work for several businesses at once, and are able to hire (subcontract) someone else to work with, for, or instead of them. Under most contracts they don't get paid until the work is done to a set standard.
Making the wrong call could be costly to your business. To assist you in deciding whether you and your workers are in an employment or contracting relationship please contact us.

Today we had our first Aikido Renaissance Playday of the year, and I went into it thinking along the lines of playing with aiki-jo material and trying to figure out what sticks and swords have to do with our aikido anyway. What is so 'aiki' about aiki-jo?
We worked on the first four of Tomiki's Jo-no-tsukai, A.K.A jo-nage in some aikido lineages.
- migi sumiotoshi
- hidari sumiotoshi
- tekubikime
- maeotoshi
As we worked on these techniques, I was paying attention to the hints and instructions that I was giving people. I was particularly looking for times when I was telling stick-weilding aikidoka the same things I'm always telling the empty-handed aikidoka. Today's major themes ended up being -
- Push straight down the length of the jo instead of pushing sideways (as if trying to bend the jo). You'll bestronger, more controlleed, and less likely to slip and bust someone's teeth.
- If you get to a place where you can feel uke's strength, then you are in the wrong place - move somewhere that he's not as strong.
- If you want uke to move away from a strong position, you can't hold him there. Often you have to relax and give up your own territory in order to get uke to shift to different ground.
Do those sound familiar? Anyone recognize those situations or phenomena from aikido or judo?
Then we worked on three of Tomiki's jo-dori
- shomenate
- gyakugamaeate
- maeotoshi
Here we wound up repeating one major theme a lot -
- If you allow uke to choose his own ground, you'll end up in a strength battle. Walk away and tear his root out of the ground, and then do your technique.
Finally, we worked on the first two of the Seitei-jo techniques -
- tsukezue
- suigetsu
Here our emphasis was on honte and honteuchi and hikiotoshi. I've said before that hikiotoshi has been the bane of my existence, but I have to admit today it was almost fun to work on ;-) It was working very nicely.

Second Edition
Unmatched in detail and breadth, this Second Edition of Marine Botany explores the startling diversity and environmental dynamics of the hundreds of micro– and macroalgae, seagrasses, mangroves, and salt marshes as well as phytoplankton (minute, free–floating photosynthetic plants) and benthic communities (attached plants) that comprise the flourishing botanical garden submerged in and around the surface of our vast oceans.
Reflecting the latest in research since the original 1981 edition, long considered the classic reference on marine plant life, this new edition′s enhanced ecological perspective details the ongoing environmental challenges endured by these fragile life–forms. Viewing the structure and function of marine plant communities in the context of abiotic (light, temperature, water movement, nutrients), biotic (photosynthesis, carbon fixation, competition, predation, symbiosis), and anthropogenic influences, the book moves layer by layer through the ocean, capturing their photosynthetic and adaptive mechanisms. Pollution in the form of oil spills, heavy and radioactive metals, biological damage wrought from harvesting and aquaculture, and the harmful effects of ozone depletion and UV–B rays are detailed, along with the impact of environmental factors on morphological and anatomical adaptations. The book also describes the anthropogenic stresses endured by salt marshes, mangals, seagrass communities, and marine plants of coral reefs, concluding with possible management and restorative techniques.
Marine Botany, Second Edition is both a vivid global map and comprehensive guide to all of the flourishing forms of plant life at our oceans′ surface, shores, and depths and the dynamics of their survival.
Abiotic Factors.
Biotic Factors.
Physiological Ecology.
Human Affairs and Marine Plants.
Macroalgae and Their Communities.
Macroalgal Communities.
Salt Marshes.
Seagrass Communities.
Marine Plants of Coral Reefs.

Vanity Fair Articlegreenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread
Hello All, I have just read the most imformative article on Y2K to date. This feature article is in the January 1999 edition of Vanity Fair magazine. It is a must read immediately type article. Run copies to give to friends and family members over the holidays. If they don't get it now, they will after reading this well researched and imformative composition written by Robert Sam Anson. It explains how this time bomb was created, and why it is being ignored.
-- flierdude (email@example.com), December 12, 1998
Hi Mike! I just bought a copy of the mag tonight at B. Dalton's in the Mall...I mentioned to the clerk that he should read it, as it has a very good article about the Y2k computer problem. He said "What's that, a new virus? Maybe I'll get a" Oh, boy, It's going to be a long road through '99. Now if I can just convince my SUW (still uncertain wife..
) maybe we'll have a chance. \/\/illis in OKC, OK 12/12/98

Uh-oh....lost the last part of a sentence......"Maybe I'll get around to reading it next week after all my schoolwork is finished...."
\/\/illis, still trying to prepare in OKC, OK 12/12/98

See also the earlier thread titled: Vanity Fair article - Read, Copy, Distribute !!!
...And read Ed Yourdons comments.
-- Diane J. Squire (email@example.com), December 13, 1998.
Anyone have a copy they could send (in text or some other format?) of this article. I don't get Vanity Fair and finding it up here in the boonies can be a bit of a chore! LOL I checked online, can't find any articles just a sparse web site. Thanks in advance, Bobbi Check out the newly revamped Y2k information site! http://www.buzzbyte.com/
-- Bobbi (email@example.com), December 13, 1998.
read it this evening as well...good article...comment from a lady friend (whom I conned into buying the magazine for me...) "so now the bimbos are gonna get it?"
scary thought, that - ever stop to think that bimbos and such who read vanity fair have the money and time to do all the stuff that the rest of us can't?
FLASH FORWARD: It's 2008 and the new president's first name is Buffy - and her favorite past time is knocking down targets with her AR- 10T...
-- Arlin H. Adams (email@example.com), December 13, 1998.
Bobbi, I searched on Conde-Nast's website and their Vanity Fair sub- set. I searched for anything written by Robert Sam Anson trying to get clues to his e-mail address. Searched the standard places for that too. Nada.
I think this one is a "typing" job for some motivated person. I really want some of my e-mail friends to see it. If anyone has ideas on finding Robert, please post 'em. (Trying to save on long-distance phone calls).
-- Diane J. Squire (firstname.lastname@example.com), December 13, 1998.
Just finished reading the Vanity Fair article. Amazing! This is perhaps the best researched and written summary of Y2K that we could have hoped for.
And to find it in Vanity Fair, of all places.
Rick T: What was your take on this article?
-- Arnie Rimmer (email@example.com), December 14, 1998.
