Namaste And Warmest Greetings,
We are already on our way back to Germany and the past days in Colombia have been very special. Bala Krishna and I had the pleasure to guide and accompany a darkness retreat. The process is captured in some videos, which you can watch via my youtube channel.
Intensive Darkness Retreat With Focus On Astral Journeys
In May I will guide one intensive 10-day darkness retreat in Germany with focus on astral projections. In this newsletter I will give more details about it and like to draw your attention to another exciting seminar , particularly interesting for you if you want to learn how to see the aura with our physical eyes.
First of all I like to speak about the darkness retreat.
What Is A Darkness Retreat?
The darkness retreat is a highly intensive way of meditating and initiates deep internal processes. Due to its powerful impact, in Bön, the pre-Buddhist religion of Tibet, the dark retreat is called the royal road of meditation. Retreating into total darkness is one of the fastest ways to experience an astral projection and out-of-body experiences. It takes a lot of inner calm and focus to be able to perceive astral worlds. But already in a 10-day darkness retreat it is possible to perceive astral worlds physically.
From May 26th to June 4th, I want to enable a small group of seven people maximum to have an especially intensive time. Let the darkness be your guru that guides you on the way to yourself. I will stand by your side.
In this video I give a deeper insight in this exciting topic and describe what could be expected in a darkness retreat:
For those who are interested in this special experience will find more information about this intensive seminar on my website, or have a look on this video where i answer a lot of practical questions about a darkness retreat. Here is Raquel, one of the participants, sharing her experiences of the Darkness Retreat:
Now, let's talk about the upcoming aura seminar.
Everyone can learn to see Aura!
Immediately before the darkness retreat, namely from 25th to 26th May, I will give a seminar in that you learn how to see the aura with your physical eyes. All of us are capable of having this experience. There are various simple but powerful techniques to see the aura with the physical eye. In this seminar I will share this knowledge.
Furthermore every participant will get a personal picture of the aura made up from a biofeedback system that that measures the low-frequency energies on our palms, the subtle vibrations of our emotional body become visible.

Driving from the UK to Chamonix works well for families and groups and anyone touring around different ski resorts. It is less hassle than by train and can be quite a bit cheaper than flying, and you have the benefit of having a car in the resort, as not all the individual ski areas in the Chamonix valley are connected. From the Channel ports of Calais or Boulogne, there is a toll motorway all the way to Chamonix, taking approximately eight or nine hours to drive in normal conditions.
Channel Crossing
From the UK to Calais take the ferry (23 saillings daily) from Dover or the Eurotunnel train (46 crossings daily) from Folkestone.
The main companies that operate direct ferries on the Dover-Calais route are: P&0 Ferries and DFDS Seaways (previously the Norfolk Line).
Crossing the channel on a conventional ferry takes about 90 minutes and starts from about £70.
The Eurotunnel train transfer is the fastest, only 35 minutes, but also the most expensive, from £130. If you book early you can get some good deals.
Stena Line also has ferries across the channel to France.
Road conditions
The preferred route is Calais > Reims > Dijon > Geneva > Chamonix. It's about 560 Miles (900 km) from Calais to Chamonix (via Dijon) with a drive time of about 9 hours. All but the last twenty kilometers are on toll motorways. The motorways in France are toll roads called "Autoroutes" and you pay at the "Peage". Autoroute tolls are approximately €80 one way.
If you are not in a hurry, and you want to cut out the toll roads, there is a route through Belgium, Germany and Switzerland. Even if it is a little further, depending on your car's fuel consumption, you can save some money. This route is about 300km longer, there are no road tolls but there is road tax of £25. This journey can take up to 13 hours.
To plan your route consult the ViaMichelin Route Planner or The AA Route Planner.
To see what is happening on the roads in France, check out BisonFute, a website run by the French government, or Autoroutes, run by the French Motorway Companies.
Driving back to London, follow signs to Geneva, Dijon, Chaumont, Reims and Calais.
Important Information
French law requires you to have a reflective vest handy in the car, as well as an emergency warning triangle. Non-compliance could result in a 90 to 135 Euro fine.
From 2012, you must also carry an approved breathalyser kit in your car. Read more about French driving regulations from the RAC.
In winter, it's a legal requirement to carry a set of snow chains. Attention! Snowsocks for tyres do not conform to French regulations!
(Ouvert = Open; Fermé = Closed; Equipements Spéciaux Obligatoires = Special Equipment, e.g. Chains, is necessary)

Today, the Washington Post reported that a suicide bomber targeting Shiites killed at least 72 people in Baghdad — the highest one-day death toll since U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq in December. This bombing is one in a series of recent attacks resulting in many causalities. In the midst of so much turmoil and suffering, the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena have been a safety net for Iraqis affected by war for many years. In the January 2004 issue of the magazine, Jill Carroll wrote about their work with the wounded and sick:
Others, like Sister Nahla Francis, work outside the convent. Sister Nahla started working as a nurse six months ago at the nearby Al Jamh-Al Zahrawi Hospital in Mosul. She monitors life-support machines, feeds patients and changes bed linens. Many patients are recovering from gunshot wounds and other life-threatening injuries.
She is the only sister in the hospital and often has to explain to Muslim patients what a sister is.
"I saw a lot of different cases here. One patient came who had lost her legs and her family," said Sister Nahla, who has been a member of the community for six years. "She told me, 'I want to die because I have nothing to live for.'"
In such cases, "I can only pray for the patient," said Sister Nahla.
Equally trying was the death of many children brought to the hospital during the war, she said. "The community gave me spiritual support and encouragement to continue my work here."
Since that report, Sister Nahla has left Iraq; she now works at the Mother of Mercy Clinic in Zerqa, Jordan, which is also supported by CNEWA.
Meantime, the author of the story, Jill Carroll, came to know all-too-well the nightmare of Iraq. In 2006, she was kidnapped by Sunni Muslim insurgents and spent nearly three months in captivity before finally being released. You can read more about her story in The Christian Science Monitor.

I have written many posts starting exactly the same way. "I don't know what to write about today." Yet I have so much to say. I don't even know where to begin. I have too much to say. But I am not ready to say it yet. I tried saying it and deleted it. I probably don't even have a backup copy of it anymore. I don't even remember what all happened. I don't even know what will happen tomorrow. I am living this kind of life now. Not knowing what's going to happen next in my life. Because of that I have been afraid. When you don't know what can possibly go wrong the next moment, you'd naturally be afraid.
Life pisses me off. I don't dream about the future. I don't dream about endless possibilities. Instead, I find myself scared about everything. Much of the fear is gone now but a year long of struggle has put me into a very narrow world where there aren't many possibilities. Where I am afraid of everything that I have to do. People tell me not to be afraid. They talk about all that could occur in the future. I can't imagine it. I can't even imagine the things that I used to be able to do alone. I have lived in too much fear over the last year that every part of me is busted out. But people don't seem to understand that. They want to bust me out even more. By putting challenging things in front of me. I am not ready for a challenge. Nor am I ready for anything new. I want to feel safe in my own skin. I have lived through a year of my life ripping into pieces and new things are way too much for me. I have to be comfortable where I am. At least for a period of time. The fears will lift over time, I know. It's already happening. But everything is still traumatic for me. The after effects are still lingering. They hold me by my feet and wing me around and I have to unwind myself from the hell I get trapped in. It has been at least 2 weeks since nothing wrong has happened but I don't know when something will. I am trying not to think too much about what can happen. I am trying to live in the present. But I know I can get pulled into something new any time. A lot of the times I don't know what to do anymore. But I try to be happy for being alive. I wish the world would leave me alone. They don't have to go through what I have to go through so they should keep their ideas with themselves. The only time it will help is if I come up with those ideas myself. I think it's good to know what other ways you can think about life, but for now, I am scared of many things. My fears have travelled through me to an extreme and have ripped me apart and I am still in recovery.
I guess I haven't been posting because I haven't really reached an ending yet. The story is not yet over. Typically, things begin and they end. This time there doesn't seem to be an end. That's why my fears are getting worse than better. But every day, I think I am better than yesterday. My life is functioning and that's good enough. I hope I keep feeling better. I hope the world would leave me alone. I hope I can go through life alone once again without feeling like I always have to be around people. I guess being alone has an extreme too and I have seen it. When you reach that extreme, you get scared of being alone and want to be around people again. But to really be better again, you have to be able to be alone again. You have to be able to sit still and enjoy life as it is. You have to stop thinking that you have to be around people. You have to be able to enjoy moments of life with yourself. You have to be free of all that you think and just be, alone or not alone. Life is really hard, I have realized that now. You can go through it alone or with people. Nothing really matters. What matters is how much you want to solve by yourself and for how long. There are joys to being alone and being with people. There are cons to both too. So if possible, in this lifetime, do both – at different stages of life. Be alone and have lots of fun by yourself. Be with people and have lots of fun with them too. Make sure you are always enjoying life no matter what you choose. Life's too short – to keep re-thinking where you are, what you are and where you need to be.

This technology brings doctors and patients together through an easy-to-use mobile application that is linked with Electronic Health Records. The burst of mobile healthcare applications in recent years has caused confusion about what medical apps are trustworthy. This is especially true for patients with chronic conditions who seek medical information on long-standing health issues. It has been shown that telehealth applications which connect patients directly with physicians improve medical outcomes in both [specific cancers] (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3627128/) and [across conditions] (http://www.bmj.com.proxy.lib.umich.edu/content/bmj/344/bmj.e3874.full.pdf). This application creates an easily accessible mobile source of medical information that patients can trust.
Secure and Informed Prescription
This technology allows physicians to create profiles linked to Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) of their patients, who can then access their profile. As treatment progresses, the physician can keep patient information updated through a link between the application and the patient's EMR. The app will provide an avenue of communication between patients and doctors, will allow patients to learn about their conditions from physician-vetted sources, and will allow remote prescription of treatment.
- Easy access of patient data for clinical teams to prescribe actions to patients throughout treatment
- Trusted source for patient information and education
- A general mobile solution to doctor-patient communication, not disease-specific
- Links with patient EMRs, allowing easy flow and updating of data

The world's most notorious hacker says the government should focus on securing its computer systems rather than snooping on citizens.
Kevin Mitnick, who spent four-and-a-half years behind bars for breaking into the computer systems of telephone companies, stresses that hackers should take extreme care these days given the sensitive political environment and the new laws defining many hacks as acts of terrorism.
He also warned that any hacker could win the "scapegoat sweepstakes" at any time, receiving a harsh sentence to serve as an example to other hackers.
Mitnick, who has testified before a Senate committee on the dangers of politically motivated hack attacks, thinks cyber terrorism is a credible – but not particularly critical – threat that could be headed off by strengthening security at government agencies and private corporations.
He firmly believes the newly proposed Patriot Act is just an excuse for law enforcement to further its own agenda.
The act, approved on Wednesday by the House Judiciary Committee and slated for a full vote this week, gives wide-ranging surveillance powers to the police, including extensive scrutiny of electronic communications.
"The Patriot Act is ludicrous," Mitnick said. "Terrorists have proved that they are interested in total genocide, not subtle little hacks of the U.S infrastructure, yet the government wants a blank search warrant to spy and snoop on everyone's communications."
If anyone has a right to what some might see as paranoia, Mitnick would be that man. He's been portrayed in newspapers, books and movies as the all-powerful evil programmer, a brilliant hacker able to launch a nuclear war with a mere whistle into a cell phone, able to bring down government computer systems on a whim.
For the record, Mitnick denies many of the crimes that have been credited to him and said the government and the mainstream media created the myth of Mitnick for their own profit.
"I am not innocent but I certainly didn't do most of what I was accused of," he said. "Basically, I won the scapegoat sweepstakes."
Mitnick agreed to be interviewed as part of the publicity for his role in an episode of a new ABC spy drama, Alias, in which Mitnick plays a CIA computer expert. Mitnick's episode, "Doppelganger," is scheduled to air Sunday, Oct. 28.
Arrested in February 1995 for hacking into the computer networks of communications providers such as Digital Equipment, Pacific Bell, Bell Atlantic and Internet service provider The Well, Mitnick was held without bail for four and a half years.
He served eight months of that time in solitary confinement as authorities apparently feared he could still manage to hack into some device and cause the end of the world. He pleaded guilty to entering computer systems without authorization, served another eight months, and was released in January 2000.
Mitnick is banned, until January 2003, from using computers, acting as a technical consultant, or writing about computers without permission from his probation officer. Mitnick recently was given permission to carry a cell phone so that he could be in touch with family during his father's terminal illness.
Mitnick was allowed to keep the phone after his father died five months ago but believes it's so authorities can keep track of him.
Mitnick testified before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee in Washington on March 2 and outlined a comprehensive plan that would secure computer systems against most hack attacks.
He believes that the government should be hardening their systems now, although he's not totally convinced that cyber terrorism is the worst threat.
"Yes, a coordinated team of hackers could take down the communications systems, the power system, perhaps the financial markets," he said. "But all of those systems would be back online pretty quickly; you can't really knock them out for an extended period. You could use those outages as a decoy though, to draw attention from what you are really planning."
But he believes that increased surveillance powers aren't going to help win the war against terrorism and he thinks the government knows it.
"The government does things like insisting that all encryption programs should have a back door. But surely no one is stupid enough to think the terrorists are going to use encryption systems with a backdoor. The terrorists will simply hire a programmer to come up with a secure encryption scheme."
Mitnick defines a hacker as someone who has a passion for technology, someone who is possessed by a desire to figure out how things work. Sometimes, he said, that passion may lead a hacker into the shadowy places where the law and hacker ethics conflict.
"A hacker doesn't deliberately destroy data or profit from his activities," he said. "I never made any money directly from hacking. I wasn't malicious. A lot of the unethical things I did was to cover my own ass when I was a fugitive."
Mitnick does not justify all of his hacks. He admits he broke into computer systems to peek at code that powers cellular phone systems. He didn't destroy data or sell it. But he copied proprietary software.
He did have long lists of customer records from major corporations – including customer credit card numbers – but said he used the information to "social engineer" his way into systems.
Social engineers hack people instead of computers, coercing information out of people by pretending they have a right to that information. Mitnick said he used those corporate billing records to assume customers' identities.
"The companies would ask address, credit card information, things like that to confirm that you were who you said you were. That's why I needed the customer databases. Everyone always wondered why I had all those credit cards and never used them or sold the numbers," he said.
Mitnick believes Dmitry Sklyarov, the Russian software programmer currently awaiting trial in the U.S. on charges he violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, may have also won the so-called sweepstakes. He warns young hackers to pull back and be very careful now.
"I hope Dmitry puts up a good fight," Mitnick said. "He's got a great lawyer. I had a public defender. He's innocent, I wasn't. All the right people are supporting him. I pissed a lot of the right people off by hacking into The Well."
The Well is an online service that, in its heyday, was the online community of choice for anybody who considered themselves a technophile. Mitnick used The Well's servers as a sort of storage locker for data he'd pilfered from other places, which angered many users who assumed he'd crawled all over the system and violated their privacy.
"I was on the run, and didn't have any place to store this data I was collecting. So I hid it all over the Net like it was Easter eggs."
Mitnick does admit to reading the e-mail of New York Times reporter John Markoff, who reported on Mitnick for The Times, and then co-authored Tsutomu Shimomura's book, Takedown: The Pursuit and Capture of America's Most Wanted Computer Outlaw – By The Man Who Did It.
"I read their e-mail because they were discussing how the FBI was going to catch me. I didn't read it all, just searched for a combination of letters that's in my name, and words like "trap," "trace" things like that. Again, this is something I had to do to cover my ass, total self-preservation."
Mitnick hosts a radio show, and is currently working on a book on social engineering and how people can protect themselves against it. The book will be published next year.
Many in the hacking community believe Mitnick is an outstanding social engineer but just a so-so hacker with limited programming skills.
"I'd say I'm equally skilled in both areas," Mitnick said, "but no, my programming skills aren't stellar. Yes, I'd rather hack people's brains than code. If I needed to know about a security exploit, I preferred to get the information by accessing the companies' security teams' files, rather than poring over lines of code to find it on my own. It's just more efficient."
Mitnick gave an interesting example of the power of social engineering. Enlisting a co-worker to demonstrate, he proved that it is easy to spoof caller ID information by placing calls to Wired News that appeared to come from other destinations such as the White House.
The information that appeared on the incoming caller ID information identified the calls as coming from the spoofed addresses, instead of the phone number that was used to place the call.
"Imagine what a malicious hacker could do with this trick, which, by the way, is a perfectly legal feature of the phone system," Mitnick said. "Imagine if your caller ID identified a call as coming from your credit card company, or your bank."
Mitnick said the best way to avoid social engineering scams is to trust nothing.
And yes, he is bitter over the way his life has been "twisted and torn out from underneath me." But knowing he'll be free to use computers again in 2003 keeps him going.
He cautions young hackers not to take any chances now.
"Set up a network with your friends and try to hack into it. I know it's not the big challenge you're looking for. You don't get the thrill of entering into forbidden territory, but now is not the time to be hacking. Trust me, you do not want to be the next big winner of the scapegoat sweepstakes."

Just like it is important to invest in a good quality elevator and install it to blend well in your setting, it is also necessary to see that it is properly maintained. Companies that provide elevator maintenance services ensure that the task is carried out by authorized and certified personnel. Here are some key points about elevator maintenance that every building owner should know:
- Maintenance should be done according to maintenance instructions. These instructions will specify the type of maintenance, period, settings, tolerance values and operating conditions. Maintenance has to be done before the system goes out of order and a reliable elevator company that provides these services will store spare parts and use original materials for replacement.

Why HOAs Should Avoid Lowball Landscape Maintenance Proposals
If your HOA community is shopping for a new landscape maintenance provider, then you owe it to your board members to share this story with them. One side of the coin: Lowballing prices makes landscape companies competitive and helps them retain clients who may look elsewhere. The flip side: Going with the cheapest price often results in landscapes slowly going downhill after the honeymoon period.

This Is How Hot Sport Cars Will Look Like In 10 Years Time | hot sport cars
A cardinal of smartphone manufacturers accept already appear their appropriate copy accessories which appear with brandings from world's best accepted sports car manufacturers, and it seems like HONOR is on the way to the aforementioned as well. The HONOR V20 Maserati Copy has alike online, on Weibo (Chinese amusing media), alike admitting the approved HONOR V20 did not become official aloof yet. The HONOR V20 will be appear abutting week, though, and it charcoal to be apparent if the Maserati Copy of the buzz will appear during that actual aforementioned barrage event, or is HONOR planning to do article abroad entirely. Having said that, if you analysis out the angel provided above, you will be able to see the accessory that leaked, and it seems like it will action the aforementioned architecture as the approved HONOR V20, but with Maserati's logo on the back. It is accessible that the phone's under-the-glass arrangement will be altered as well, but that is not arresting due to the bend of the camera here. It is accessible to apprehension that the buzz will accommodate three cameras on the back, and that it will be fabricated out of metal and glass.
HONOR V20's International Variant
The HONOR V20 will about be relaunched for all-around markets in January, and it will address beneath the HONOR View 20 name. This is not unexpected, as the HONOR V10 launched as the HONOR View 10 alfresco of China aftermost year. In any case, these two smartphones will be absolutely identical in agreement of the architecture and specifications, admitting their adaptable networks abutment will differ, of course. As far as the Maserati Edition's availability alfresco of China is concerned, well, affairs are that HONOR will not be announcement a all-around alternative of the Maserati Copy handset, as such appropriate copy smartphones that get appear in China usually break in China, but it would be nice to see this buzz in Europe and the US, to accommodate some antagonism for the OnePlus 6T McLaren Copy which is a absolutely hot affair at the moment.
HONOR V20 / View 20 vs Maserati Edition
Considering that the HONOR V20 and View 20 will be basically the aforementioned in agreement of the architecture and specifications, the Maserati Copy of the HONOR V20 will not altered from either of these two phones, at atomic not much. The phone, as already mentioned, will apparently attending the aforementioned as the HONOR V20, save for the branding and a accessible altered pattern, while HONOR may accommodate added RAM in the Maserati Copy of the phone, and possibly added storage. The HONOR V20 / View 20 will apparently accommodate 6GB of RAM on the inside, and the Maserati Copy of the buzz may up that to 8GB or alike 10GB of RAM, to be on the aforementioned akin as the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition. On the added hand, HONOR may opt to accommodate 12GB of RAM into this buzz in adjustment to accompany it on the aforementioned akin as the accessible Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Ferrari Edition, which alike beforehand today.
HONOR V20 / View 20 Architecture & Specs
The HONOR V20 / View 20 will be fabricated out of metal and glass, and we've already talked about the aback ancillary of this smartphone. Well, on top of that, the buzz will accommodate an about bezel-less display, HONOR's cast new Full View 3.0 affectation that the aggregation already presented. The Honor V20 / View 20 will accommodate a affectation camera aperture in the top-left bend of the phone, while the buzz will accommodate a absolutely attenuate "chin" beneath the display. We additionally apperceive that the accessory will be fueled by the Kirin 980 64-bit octa-core processor, which is Huawei's best able processor at the moment, and it is fueling the company's Mate 20 alternation of smartphone. The Kirin 980 is declared to attempt with the Snapdragon 855 affective forward, and it's a absolutely able processor, as it has accepted its account in the Mate 20 devices. The Honor V20 / View 20 will address with Android 9 Pie out of the box, while the company's Emotion UI (EMUI) 9 bark will be included on top of it. A 48-megapixel camera will be included on the aback of the Honor View 20, but we still do not apperceive what to apprehend out of the added two cameras. All in all, the Honor V20 / View 20 will be acutely able and well-specced smartphones, it seems, while the Maserati Copy of the V20 will advance that alike further.

Through a crazy Facebook app I was trying out I got the most amazing and unexpected testimonials from people who have bought my work. Below are some actual quotes from my www.stik.com account:
Dunewood O'neil

Ooty Shopping Guide – where and what to shop and buy
Find a place to stay
Ooty's markets and shops are brimming with cosy scarves, jumpers and fabrics to warm you up on chilly mountain nights. As a prime tourist spot, there are plenty of shops and stalls selling souvenir trinkets and handicrafts. Ooty is well known for its foodie gift items that are produced locally, including tea, chocolate, and gourmet cheeses. Although if you're not heading home for a while, you might need to scoff the cheese and chocolate yourself.
Tibetan Market
Close to the ravishing, technicoloured splendour of the famous Botanical Gardens, the bustling Tibetan Market has rows of stalls hung with vibrant clothing, ethereal materials, and rich shawls. The market's particularly well known for its hand embroidered scarves and colourful thick fabrics, perfect for snuggling up with on a cold night. This is definitely a place to head to if the chilly mountain air gets too much for you.
Doddabetta Tea Factory
Scattered with tea plantations, the Nilgiri region – and Ooty in particular – is a great place to acquire some locally made blends . Choose from aromatic black, white, jasmine, and refreshing green teas. You can buy packets of tea from the shops in town, as well as the market, but it's hard to know what quality you're getting. For really good value – as well as an insight into how tea is made – it's worth heading to Doddabetta Tea Factory, just a short taxi ride from Charing Cross, at one end of Commercial Road.
A 40-minute drive south of Ooty is Coonoor – another popular Nilgiri hill station. Despite being smaller than Ooty it has a bustling commercial centre with a busy market, as well as some interesting stores selling locally made organic produce like honey. Like Ooty, Coonoor's also well known for its handmade chocolates. Cheese lovers rave about Acres Wild – a family-run organic farm and home-stay just outside Coonoor. Buy and try their vegetarian artisan cheeses, including gouda, feta, ricotta, and mozzarella.
Shopping Tips
In general when shopping in India, you'll need to take on your fair share of haggling to get the best price, especially when buying from markets and any stall or shop without price tags. Prices tend to be most inflated in tourist-centric areas where sellers start high. It's worth doing some research to find what a fair price is for something before you purchase, and keep this in mind when knocking the price down. If you imply that you'll walk away without the item, often sellers will magically drop the cost. If you need any help or advice you could ask at the local tourist information centre, or your hotel.

Company History
Roloff Manufacturing Corporation began operations on April 17, 1944, and at that time occupied a total of 3,200 square feet of floor space, while the land on which the building was located was 120' x 240'. Currently, we have 62,000 square feet of floor space, with a land area of three-quarters of a city block, plus ten additional acres of land within the city limits of Kaukauna. Our growth can clearly be expressed in that our production capacity increased from two tons per day to our present capacity of 30 tons per day.
On June 15, 1948, Roloff Manufacturing Corporation bought the foundry division of the Eagle Manufacturing Company, located in Appleton, Wisconsin. Four years later, on March 31, 1952, the foundry division of the Algoma Foundry and Machine Company of Algoma, Wisconsin was purchased.
We can report that our very first customer is still placing their orders with us, just as regularly as always, but in larger quantities. We service over 180 custom accounts yearly and in our own product lines we have over 300 distributors and dealers. Seven of our employees have been with us ten years or more and twenty-seven have over twenty years of service.
In 1985 we completed a new 40'x80' building which houses our new electric melting department. In the past years we have added an automatic molding machine along with a pouring and shifting line. Sixty-two percent of our buildings are of masonry construction, while the remainder are of the Butler building style.

Risk assets climb as eurozone fears fade
20/Jan/2012 • Currency Updates•
Another round of successful eurozone government bond auctions helped risk assets maintain their upwards momentum. Borrowing costs fell at closely watched auctions of Spanish and French government bonds. The results lent support to the Euro, with the single currency touching a two-week high against the dollar. This is a 0.7% increase from the previous day. Madrid sold a total of €6.6bn of debt, much more than its target. Paris also sold well, selling €8bn of its medium-dated bonds in its first auction since its downgrade from triple A to AA+.
However, this is overcast by the ECB becoming ever increasingly involved in the Eurozone debt. The ECB provided a total of €489n in support; this was strongly utilised by Italian banks in particular such as UniCredit and Sanpaolo taking €12.5bn and €12bn respectively. Mario Draghi also expects high demand for the next round for the next round of LTROs, which will occur in the next month. Moreover, there still remains a lingering uncertainty about Greek debt restructuring and strong concerns about Portuguese assets showing increasing levels of stress. The concerns about Portugal were reflected by another jump in the country's sovereign bonds yields and credit default swaps.
There were further encouraging signs from the US banking sector as earnings from Morgan & Stanley and Bank of America exceeding Wall Street expectations. The recent run of robost US data releases also continued withe the standout feature yesterfday coming from a hefty 50,000 drop in initial jobless claims last week to 352,000, the loewst since April 2009. Signs of improvement were also mirrored in the Philadelphia Fed's index were business activity in the mid-atlantic region gad edged up to 7.3 in January, although this is in contrast to a revied 6.8 in the previous month. Moreover, the earnings and data releases helped put US equities on course for a third successive advance, with the S&P 5000 up 0.5 per cent at close.
Sterling edged to one-week high against the dollar, with a 0.2% rise. Nonetheless, the pound dipped against a broadly stronger euro, any expected rally is likely to be limited by the ongoing crisis occurring in the Eurozone. A survey showed UK consumer confidence dropped close to its lowest level in seven years in December, adding to worries about a fragile economy and the risk of the Bank of England easing monetary policy next month. Recent weak UK data, including lower inflation numbers, have added to expectations the BoE will increase asset purchases under its quantitative easing programme next month.
Data on Wednesday showed the number of Britons out of work at its highest in more than 17 years in November, although a smaller than expected number of new benefit claims in December provided some hope the labour market may be levelling out. UK GDP figures for the fourth quarter of 2011 are due next week, with some market players bracing themselves for very low growth or even a contraction in the economy.

Anatomische Hierarchie
Allgemeine Anatomie > Organa sensuum > Augen-und verwandte Strukturen > Augapfel > Augenlinse
Zugehörige Strukturen
The lens (crystalline lens), enclosed in its capsule, is situated immediately behind the iris, in front of the vitreous body, and encircled by the ciliary processes, which slightly overlap its margin.
The capsule of the lens (capsula lentis) is a transparent, structureless membrane which closely surrounds the lens, and is thicker in front than behind. It is brittle but highly elastic, and when ruptured the edges roll up with the outer surface innermost. It rests, behind, in the hyaloid fossa in the forepart of the vitreous body; in front, it is in contact with the free border of the iris, but recedes from it at the circumference, thus forming the posterior chamber of the eye; it is retained in its position chiefly by the suspensory ligament of the lens, already described.
The lens is a transparent, biconvex body, the convexity of its anterior being less than that of its posterior surface. The central points of these surfaces are termed respectively the anterior and posterior poles; a line connecting the poles constitutes the axis of the lens, while the marginal circumference is termed the equator.
Structure.—The lens is made up of soft cortical substance and a firm, central part, the nucleus. Faint lines (radii lentis) radiate from the poles to the equator. In the adult there may be six or more of these lines, but in the fetus they are only three in number and diverge from each other at angles of 120°; on the anterior surface one line ascends vertically and the other two diverge downward; on the posterior surface one ray descends vertically and the other two diverge upward. They correspond with the free edges of an equal number of septa composed of an amorphous substance, which dip into the substance of the lens. When the lens has been hardened it is seen to consist of a series of concentrically arranged laminæ, each of which is interrupted at the septa referred to. Each lamina is built up of a number of hexagonal, ribbon-like lens fibers, the edges of which are more or less serrated—the serrations fitting between those of neighboring fibers, while the ends of the fibers come into apposition at the septa. The fibers run in a curved manner from the septa on the anterior surface to those on the posterior surface. No fibers pass from pole to pole; they are arranged in such a way that those which begin near the pole on one surface of the lens end near the peripheral extremity of the plane on the other, and vice versa. The fibers of the outer layers of the lens are nucleated, and together form a nuclear layer, most distinct toward the equator. The anterior surface of the lens is covered by a layer of transparent, columnar, nucleated epithelium. At the equator the cells become elongated, and their gradual transition into lens fibers can be traced.

The National Futures Association recently announced its termination of Metairie, Louisiana commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor Level III Management LLC from NFA membership. NFA has also ordered Level III Management's principal and associated person Bruce Gwyn to withdraw from membership for a period of at least seven years.
According to NFA, 24 investors contributed approximately $1.7 million to Level III Trading Partners LP, a commodity pool managed by Level III Management. During NFA's unannounced examination of Level III Management in June 2012, NFA discovered that the Level III Pool had only $200,000 in assets. NFA determined that Gwyn had siphoned more than $240,000 from the pool's accounts to pay personal expenses.
In addition, NFA determined that Level III Management had caused the Level III Pool to invest in penny stocks in companies with connections to Gwyn. NFA also determined that Level III Management and Gwyn had provided misleading information to pool investors.
NFA concluded that Level III Management had failed to "observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade and ailing to cooperate with NFA" in violation of NFA's general conduct rule.
Blau & Malmfeldt invites Level III Pool customers to contact us at 312-443-1600 for a complimentary case evaluation. Blau & Malmfeldt is a law firm that represents investors across the United States in securities, commodity futures, partnership and shareholder rights disputes.

ANOTHER dose of strong economic forecasts is revealed in the new quarterly state figures on jobs, income and tourism, and the state's top economist sees years of island prosperity ahead.
"We remain optimistic that Hawaii's current economic performance can be sustained throughout the next few years," said Ted Liu, director of the state Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism.
With state unemployment at a national low of 2.9 percent at the end of the last quarter, 26,150 more people were employed in the state than in the same quarter a year earlier -- the biggest year-to-year increase in 15 years.
The biggest increases in jobs came in professional and business services with 3,050 and in construction, with 2,900.
The Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism's last quarterly report of the year includes 100 pages of mostly upbeat statistics and forecasts.
It predicts a 3.5 percent growth in personal income for Hawaii residents for the year, with total wage and salary jobs expected to grow by 2.7 percent.
The tourism industry is expected to show big gains, with 7.4 million visitors this year, up 6.5 percent from 2004. Visitor spending is predicted to reach $11.6 million in 2005, up 6.5 percent from last year.
While the pace of growth is expected to slow down, projections put personal income growth at 2.8 percent next year, 2.6 percent in 2007 and 2.5 percent in 2008.
Total job growth is expected to level off at between 1.5 percent and 1.2 percent per year after this year.
Bankruptcy filings went up 16 percent in the second quarter of 2005 compared to the same quarter in 2004. The 967 bankruptcies filed for the quarter, however, were far below the peak pace of 1998 when 5,813 bankruptcies were filed for the year across the state. Filings had been on a steady decline since 2001, with 3,112 filed last year.
The state report said a stiffening in the bankruptcy law was likely to blame for most of the increase. A law that took effect last month sets new limits on Chapter 7 filings.

Right now, I'm pretty pissed off.
Well that's life, you know it. Since 2014, May the 2nd my life has radically changed since I suffer from several medical issues. Whatever what life will offer in a near future, I really get the sense of that "seize the day" motto every dumbass 2.0 postcards tries to smash your life with. Every morning I wake up held by some sort of spiritual healing brought by a few things: my personnal motivation which seems to be unbeatable (Hare Krishna, Hare Rama…) & the tons of records I can afford now I'm currently living on welfare lines (please Roger M., don't cut my public assistance!) since I'm pretty much "disabled", with a right hand that does not want to work and a right leg which is pretty lame. But fuck that: I'm not writing this to get any support, I just want you to know that listening to DC band PROTESTER's latest 7″ (Trash King Productions) is a hella medecine!
Since my teenage days, DC inspiration has always been really important to me, mostly due to MINOR THREAT & the BAD BRAINS. Nowadays, the DC scene is probably the most interesting thing that current american hardcore scene has to offer. You got bands like COKE BUST shredding everything and all the bands revolving around Nick, Chris, James and Jubert (RED DEATH, PUBLIC SUICIDE, PURE DISGUST, MISLED YOUTH, ZOOM, SEM HASTRO…) and, of course, PROTESTER is one of them.
After dozens times this 7″ had been spinning in my room, I can assure you this record will end in first place of my top 2014 7″. A few days ago I finally bought it from my bro Alexis's distro, you can't figure my pleasure when I found this sleeve designed by Connor from RED DEATH (source: All-Mighty Internet).
("[…] the X on my hands, forever remain
[…] with pride I mark my hands…")
This record is a powerful and raging piece of anger and frustration – the perfect stuff to listen to when you're in my current mood. It perfectly stick with the sound of their awesome scene. Not only it has that DC impact, but I feel like a late 80s NYHC vibe like LIFE'S BLOOD, RAW DEAL. A complete must have for 2014 records collection. Otherwise, fuck you!
With love from France

Summary of the Bill
The stated purpose of the Bill is to introduce more freedom, flexibility and opportunity for those seeking employment in the public and private sectors. It would
- reduce restrictions on foreign nationals lawfully resident in the UK that prevent them from working, unless they have been refused leave to remain or are in detention
- enable those entitled to the minimum wage to opt out from that entitlement
- remove the entitlement to the minimum wage from those who are receiving a training wage, if they had entered into a written contract of employment offering them a training wage and training from the employer in skills relevant to the employment
- require the Low Pay Commission to institute an enquiry into the impact of the national minimum wage on job creation and access to employment in areas of high unemployment, and to consider whether to reduce the minimum wage in those areas if it is found to have had a negative effect. It would further require the Secretary of State to act on recommendations by the Commission to reduce the minimum wage.

Christian Retailers report that customers are buzzing about the Journaling Bible trend which has become huge on social media. A combination of faith and art, Bible journaling is creatively decorating the pages of a Bible to visually document a person's spiritual journey. Over the past year, many women's Bible studies have sprung up around the Bible journaling concept as it is a unique and creative way to interact with and memorize God's word.
"We have Bible journaling products positioned right by our front door and customer interest is piqued. Recently, we had a customer drive over an hour to our store to buy two ESV Journaling Bibles and a $120 deluxe Bible journaling kit. They were to be gifts to give to her twin daughters so they could begin journaling," said Jody Landon, Assistant Manager and Gift Buyer for Parable Christian Store in San Luis Obispo, CA.
Lorraine Valk, owner of Parable Christian Store in St. Joseph, Michigan added, "We have anxiously been awaiting the new journaling Bibles, since we've been having requests for them. As a scrap booker, I've been excited to see the new journaling products arrive, seeing the potential this has for yet another way to experience the word of God."
The popularity of Bible journaling is made evident by the fact that most Bible publishers who print journaling Bibles sold out this spring, such as Crossway. Two vendors at ICRS offered Christian Retailers Bible journaling products; GT Luscombe and Illustrated Faith by Bella Blvd. GT Luscombe has Bible journaling art supplies such as pens, markers, stamps/ink pads, watercolors and paints. Bella Blvd has paper products such as stickers, labels and tip-ins.
"This is an opportunity for Christian retailers to not only sell the Bibles and supplies for journaling, but engage with customers by providing in-store workshops and journaling Bible studies," said Jeff Bruenning, Merchandising and Marketing Manager at The Parable Group.
Landon has that exact plan for her local journaling community. She added, "We are gathering names of Bible journaling customers so we can invite them to a workshop event we are planning."
Marilyn Hood, owner of Sweet Spirit…A Parable Christian Store in Marietta, Georgia, commented, "I love the journaling trend! Our granddaughter also really enjoys it and will be hosting an event for us as soon as we get adequate stock of the ESV Journaling Bible. I guess there has been a run on them due to the online explosion of interest! It's a great problem to have as this trend is getting people to spend time in the Word!"
According to Bruenning, The Parable Group is getting behind this trend in a big way for the stores they serve this fall. Bible journaling is featured on the front cover of their October Catalog along with a 2-page feature filled with information, inspiration and products for journaling. Other marketing tools, such as emails, social media memes and in-store POP materials are being provided to stores as well. Click HERE to view their October Catalog feature.

"Pancrêpes" au Buttermilk (lait Ribot) et pommes poêlées au sirop d'érable Buttermilk "Pancrepes" with Maple Syrup Apples I was quite proud of myself when I created the word "pancrepes".

Preparing for a data entry test is a task that is necessary when applying for different types of clerical or administrative positions. In general, tests of this type focus on the ability of the candidate to accurately enter at least a minimum amount of information within a given period of time, with only a small allowance for errors during that time frame. Typically, the data entry test will include more than one format as part of the process, making it necessary for candidates to consider several different approaches to data entry as part of their preparation.
One of the most common forms of data entry testing is a basic typing skills test. In this type of exam, the individual is given a block of text that must be entered into a word processing document. The test is timed, making it possible to determine how many words per minute the candidate is capable of generating. Along with considering the overall word count entered, attention is paid to the accuracy of the data entry, including proper spacing according to the instructions, capitalization of words, and any errors such as the transposition of letters or numbers within the text. Errors are deducted from the total score, leaving an average word per minute as the final score.
Since many data entry positions involve the entry of data into a series of fields contained in a database, it is not unusual for a data entry test to also include an examination of how quickly and accurately candidates can enter the correct data in each of the fields, and move on to the next field in the sequence without a great deal of pausing. The goal is to enter the data accurately but as quickly as possible, indicating an ability to function in the workplace at a high level of efficiency and productivity.
In order to prepare for the data entry test, it is important to practice both these forms of data entry in advance. Sample tests can often be found online, making it possible to improve hand/eye coordination between a source document, the fingers, and the document or page that is to receive the data. Typically, practicing first with data entry of text in general is a good way to become comfortable with the keyboard and gradually increase entry speed. Make sure to use different blocks of text that include a wide range of characters, including numbers and punctuation, in order to increase proficiency. At the same time, download a sample database and learn how to enter data into a given field, then use the proper keys to quickly advance to the next field. Generally, practicing for at least a few days before actually taking a data entry test for a prospective position will increase confidence and speed, which in turn maximizes the chances of securing the job.
Post 2
You are right about accuracy and speed in inputting values into a database. I have been using data entry tests to improve my skills.
Thanks for the tip on finding a sample database. Now I just have to find one.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!
