Gel Wheelchair Cushions are a great option to improve your comfort and more!
As you probably know, if you spend longer than an hour or two in a wheelchair you should definitely be seated on a cushion of some sort to relieve pressure, and make you more comfortable. A cushion is a necessity, not a luxury!
Gel Wheelchair Cushions are intended to help relieve pressure on your ischia's (sit- bones) coccyx (tail bone) and the back of the thighs. Relieving pressure in those areas is so important for two reasons:
First, because pressure related skin break-down occurs from the inside out. The ischia's and the coccyx are pressing against your muscles and tissue as you sit for prolonged periods. That pressure results in soreness and redness to begin with, and will progress to actual pressure sores if it's not taken care of. Nobody wants that to happen, so take measures to relive the pressure using a Gel Wheelchair Cushion as prevention of pressure sores.
Next, Gel Wheelchair Cushions can help you with your posture. A common complaint among wheelchair users relates to back pain, leg pain and muscle strain after sitting up in a wheelchair for too long. A Gel Wheelchair Cushion can offer positioning benefits if you choose one with contoured construction, intended to help you sit straight and square in your chair. Some gel wheelchair cushions also offer advanced positioning options such as foam wedges or build-ups to allow you to tailor the contours to your own body shape.
Gel Wheelchair Cushions come in many sizes, so it is extremely important to choose the right size for your wheelchair. Measure your chair from side to side from the outside edge of the seat upholstery to the outside edge of the seat upholstery on the other side for your first measurement which is the seat width. Then measure front to back, along the side rail to get the seat depth. Take also into account your positioning needs. If you are able to get in and out of your chair to shift your weight, a flat gel wheelchair cushion may give you the comfort you need and protect you from skin breakdown. If you are not able to reposition and shift your weight, then select from the skin protection and positioning cushions to help you keep a correct posture.
Another consideration is your weight. It is important to check the weight capacity of a Gel Wheelchair Cushion and make sure that you do not exceed the recommended weight. The gel bladders inside can rupture and break open if it is not adequate to support you, so check the specs to be sure!

'He's a very podgy baby' - Kate Middleton on her baby son Prince George
He's Gorgeous George - and the nine-month-old has become a star Down Under.
Despite making a slightly sullen appearance upon landing at Sydney yesterday - quite understandable as he's teething and had just experienced a three hour flight from New Zealand - the Aussies love Prince George.
Indeed, some commentators have nicknamed him the 'Republican Slayer' - support for the monarchy has never been higher in Australian at the moment, and the movement for a Republic appears to ebb during the State visit by Prince William and Kate Middleton.
So while he's less than a year old, Prince George appears to wield massive influence.
But his mum Kate is only too happy to remind us of what he actually is - an adorably 'podgy' baby.
"He's a very podgy baby," she told one well-wisher when she was asked about her son.
Earlier today, Kate and her husband Prince William admired the stunning views at Australia's Blue Mountains - and they were so impressed, they vowed to return some day.
William described the breathtaking Three Sisters viewing point across the Blue Mountains as "a great place for a picnic" while Kate discussed bush walking and said they would come back.
The royal couple spent the day touring the Blue Mountains region close to Sydney that suffered devastating bush fires last October and met families whose homes were burnt to the ground.
Before the pair arrived in the town of Winmalee to hear the story of survivors there was a minor incident involving two men, allegedly harassing well-wishers waiting for the royals to arrive, who were moved on by police.
A spokeswoman for New South Wales Police said: "At 1210 today police stopped and spoke to two men aged 37 and 21 who were allegedly harassing members of the crowd who were gathered at the corner of Single Ridge Road and Vista Road, Winmalee.
"The pair were moved on from the area prior to the motorcade coming past."
The mood lightened when the royal couple arrived at Echo Point, Katoomba, to see the famous Three Sisters rock formation and were greeted by around 3,000 well-wishers lining crash barriers.
William and Kate, who wore a Diane von Furstenburg wrap dress and wedges, were welcomed by cheers from the crowds and walked down to a platform to see the majestic views across the Blue Mountain range.

I was drawing for a little while in the website " Fiverr ". It is a website where you need to give a great service for really bad ( even offended money ) like $5 a portrait. I had an account for a few weeks and wanted to see if I am able to painting quick with a good quality. Wanted to train my discipline and professionalism. I am amazed to share with you , that everyone was happy with the portraits I have done for them ( even if they were quick ) . I couldn't stay longer in this website as I think that the prices that you have to sell are really cheap and offensive. This is like to ask Picasso or Michelangelo to create a piece of art for $5.
Please do not get me wrong - I am not Picasso or Michelangelo. But if you want to own piece of art at home or to give a portrait to someone special as a gift you suppose to know the the price is more then $5 or even price of pair of jeans.
About the project:
Done it quick. My client was happy with what he received ( as you can see below ). The photo I was drawing from was small with a really poor quality. Wasn't easy to paint from such photo , but gave more then my best to make it great and to make my client happy.
Unfortunately I can't find the photo I was drawing from.

Introduction. Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is associated with high burden and healthcare costs. Virologic response achieved with antivirals is associated with progression avoidance. This study aimed to estimate the efficiency and clinical impact of antiviral strategies in CHB patients. Material and methods. A Markov model estimated lifetime complications and direct costs in both, HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative cohorts. Strategy 1 (71% of treated population) and strategy 2 (100%), both based on pegylated interferon (peg-IFN) followed by oral tenofovir or entecavir, were compared to no treatment. Progression was based on HBV-DNA levels. Rescue therapy with oral antivirals was applied for peg-IFN failure. Disease costs (C, 2014) and utilities were obtained from literature. Results. Compared to natural history, strategy 1 increased QALY (3.98 in HBeAg-positive, 2.16 in -negative cohort). With strategy 2, survival was up to 5.60 (HBeAg-positive) and 3.05 QALY (in HBeAg-negative). The model predicted avoidance of 128 and 86 carcinomas in HBeAg-positive and negative patients with strategy 1, and up to 181 and 121 in HBeAg-positive and negative for strategy 2. Total cost increased up to C102,841 (strategy 1) and C105,408 (strategy 2) in HBeAg-positive, and C85,858 and C93,754 in HBeAg-negative. A C1,581/QALY gained ratio was estimated versus the natural history for both strategies. In conclusion, increasing antiviral coverage would be efficient, reducing complications.
Key words. Chronic hepatitis B, Clinical impact, Efficiency, Oral antivirals, Peginterferon

Why You Should Use Ownest
Ownest will tailor the mortgage to your needs and your lifestyle. We understand that there is not a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to your mortgage. You can rest assured that you are getting the mortgage that is right for you!
Your bank's mortgage advisers are not Ownest, and they simply do not have the broad and complex knowledge base or tools that Ownest can offer.
Whether you're a first time home buyer, self-employed, divorced or separated, transferring, refinancing or renewing your mortgage, or trying to consolidate debt, Ownest can offer a solution that eliminates stress and uncertainty. In fact, a vast majority of clients end the process in a much better place than where they began. When dealing with Ownest, you'll leave reassured, educated and more empowered than before.

Debunking Broker Myths
MYTH #1: Mortgage brokers are only for those people who have bad credit.
In truth, brokers have the resources and expertise to make things work. This is the same expertise that helps our clients with good credit get the best rates available, and save time and money.
MYTH #2: A bank is better than a broker because it will always get the client the best rate and has the client's best interest at heart.
In truth, Banks will only be able to provide advice on their own products and services and often cannot provide independent and unbiased solutions. Mortgage brokers can find you the best mortgage that fits your lifestyle. It's in our best interest to get everyone the best available mortgage because we're on your side.
MYTH #3: I'm better off staying with my bank because they know me
In truth, Mortgage brokers offer flexibility. They can show you the differences, benefits, and features of each product. Not only do they have the ability to find the best rate, but can also help you understand the penalties and any hidden clauses that may cost you more money down the road, particularly if you choose to pay your mortgage off early.
MYTH #4: All brokers are the same.
In truth, Ownest is unique in the marketplace as Ownest will present you with all the products you qualify for regardless of how much the lender pays us for the deal. Regular brokers only push the mortgages that make them the most money….our Ownest engine does not discriminate. We present all options, Ownestly!

The University of Chicago Law School, founded in 1902, offers a demanding degree program, which has made it a breeding ground for some of the best lawyers in the country. With about 600 students, class sizes remain small with a fairly low student to faculty ratio. Just over 80 full-time and 100 part-time faculty members are on hand to help groom Chicago Law students to be ready for Supreme Court clerkships and placements at prestigious law firms. Aside from academics, students can participate in extracurricular organizations and clubs on campus. The school is located in Chicago's south side neighborhood of Hyde Park and many choose to live in university-owned housing or private apartments near campus.
There are many opportunities for students to expand upon their law education. They can earn joint master's degrees in business or public policy through Chicago's Booth School of Business or the Harris School of Public Policy Studies. These dual degrees can be achieved in four years, versus the traditional three for law school. Students can also attend up to four classes at other University of Chicago graduate schools. Second- and third-year University of Chicago Law School students take part in four legal clinics with topics like start-up business issues or human rights grievances. Students can also take advantage of the large metropolis to seek employment prospects. More than 15% of students in the past decade have gone on to pursue US Supreme Court clerkships and between 15 and 25% of students generally take positions in state or federal clerkships.
There are more than 50 organizations to participate in on campus, with groups ranging from the Winston Churchill Gaming Society to the Law School Musical which is performed every winter. Chicago Law was one of the first campuses to have a chapter of the Federalist Society. Many students are also involved with the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy. The Law School has six professional journals, three of which are student run. These include the "University of Chicago Law Review," "Chicago Journal of International Law" and the "University of Chicago Legal Forum."
The broad opportunities University of Chicago Law School has to offer also include an International Human Rights Internship Program in Australia, India, Korea and South Africa. The school provides a Law Library that is open 90 hours a week and has 10 full-time librarians. Chicago Law has proven over the years to produce some of the brightest legal minds in the country; students interested in a tight-knit community and fun on-campus activities should look into the campus.

Signed into law last week by President Obama, the JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act) is heralded as a measure set to revolutionize how startup companies, investors (experienced and novice), the SEC and Wall Street will be able to interact in the investment world. The Act's most popular content, treatment of the practice of crowdfunding, an issue that arose with the emergence of platforms like Kickstarter, potentially opens startups up to millions of investors they never before would have had access to due to the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) rules on investing and rules as to what type of person qualifies as an "accredited investor," a term of art that essentially outlined requirements that must be met for someone to be an investor.
While much of the tech community rejoices, all of the legal wrinkles have yet to be ironed out. With the passage of this Act, Congress set out deadlines for the SEC to create the regulatory framework under which it will implement the Act. The SEC's "Accredited Investor" standards were created with good reason: to protect the not-so-savvy investor from being taken advantage of (queue the go-to political imagery of grandma losing her house, or in this case, being swindled out of all of her money).
The JOBS Act is not just about "startups." Its provisions shake the foundations of legal settlements around how Wall Street operates when it comes to IPOs and the reporting obligations of public companies. Attorneys are not soon to abandon the regulatory documents that have to be filed on behalf of companies and founders as part of the funding process. What will happen to the growth of crowdfunding and how the investment scene may change has yet to be determined. From a legal perspective, there will be challenges that emerge in the interpretation of the SEC's regulatory structure that will also define the parameters of how the JOBS Act is practically implemented.
Managing the need for startup growth and an economic jumpstart versus regulation meant to protect investors and prevent the wrongs of the past is a balancing act and, frankly, a delicate one. Legal and securities regulation experts, including former SEC commissioners, have mixed views on what the real impacts of the law might be or whether the passage of the law sends the right message to Wall Street. After all, isn't that how we all got here with our economy in the first place? Questions such as this were intimate to the debate of the JOBS Act and will subsist.
It's not game over in terms of the JOBS Act being passed. It's not a carte blanche to everyone itching to get funded or do the funding, and certainly, proceeding with caution is best advised, for the founder, the would-be VC, the regulator and the banker alike.

You can Google every legal topic out there and find a plethora of information – some good, some bad. What's interesting is that you rarely can find out what you'll actually pay for legal services. And the truth is that it's a complicated subject because the Florida Bar has rules for what lawyers can charge for services… and for good reason: to protect you, the consumer. However, lawyers often use those same protections to protect their best secret – their fees. So, the point of this blog is to give real answers (to the best we can) to the question "what's it going to cost?"
Personal Injury
Most personal injury cases are done on a contingency fee agreement that may or may not include costs. What does that mean? In Florida, we have to charge a reasonable fee that's in line with our experience and the complexity of the case. Generally, that means a third of your recovery for pre-suit (before a lawsuit is filed) and 40% if a lawsuit is filed (and the other side defends that they did anything wrong… this one has a few details that your attorney should explain in detail and in writing). Any costs from the litigation will also be paid out of your recovery, and that means the costs for the experts who will need to testify for you, obtaining all of your medical records, the court reporter's bills, and all the other costs as well. Now, that said, there are a lot of nuances to discuss with your attorney, but mainly just be aware that you need to know whether costs are included or in addition to the contingency fee and that the higher your recovery goes (e.g. in excess of a million dollars), the lower the attorney percentage of recovery can be. The long short, expect a contingency agreement where you pay nothing up front, but pay between one third to 40%, plus costs (which can be anywhere from hundreds of dollars to tens of thousands) of any recovery the attorney obtains for you.
Family Law/Divorce
This area can be widely varied, but tends to be a retainer that is billed against for attorney's hourly rate fees (generally $250-$500 per hour… depends on several facts like the attorney's experience, knowledge, case load and area in which they practice), and, of course, any costs, like filing fees. The retainer can vary, but you will usually be looking at $1,500 – $5,000 upfront. Sometimes you will see "non-refundable" retainers – that just means that the initial retainer is deemed earned immediately. If the attorney doesn't do the work or doesn't bill anything significant against it, they still may have to return it to you. The other form of a retainer is an advance against fees where they will just apply their invoices against the retainer and you will likely have to keep a certain amount in the attorney's trust account. Non-refundable v. refundable trust account retainers have pros and cons. Again, you need to discuss this with your attorney and find out what you will have to pay for a retainer upfront, what that will likely cover, and if there will be anything extra owed, for instance if your case goes to trial.
A will or an estate package generally consists of a few documents meant to protect your wishes and your loved ones upon your incapacity or death. It is certainly not a happy subject, but a necessary one. The fees are usually a flat fee – usually $400 – $1,000 depending on the complexity. The more complex, the more components, so the more expensive, but that range gives a pretty good idea of what to expect.
Contract/Lease/Document Review or Drafting
It's a good idea to have a contract reviewed by an attorney, but it is a big unknown what it will cost – and that goes doubly for drafting a contract. Generally, it is done on a flat fee, but it varies depending on complexity of the particular contract. So, use the attorney's hourly wage as a basic rubric – $250 – $500 per hour. If it is a flat fee, the attorney will have to estimate their expected time so expect that you will be paying somewhere between $500 – $2,000 for a review and $750 – $3,000 for drafting. Those numbers are very elastic so discuss your goals and budget with an attorney before hiring one.
Lawsuits – Bringing them or Defending them
For the most part, if it isn't a personal injury case, like an auto accident, or property damage, like following hurricane damage, you are looking at paying the lawyer by the hour. Generally, if you are looking for an attorney to defend you against a lawsuit, you are looking at paying that attorney by the hour. And, if that lawyer doesn't know you, you will probably be paying a retainer of $3,000 – $5,000. The attorney will then bill against it at the hourly rate of $250 – $500 per hour. So, yes, it is expensive. Some cases, like defamation, may be done on a flat fee around $5,000, but that is the exception and not the norm. You may also find something like a non-refundable retainer around $1,500 – $2,500 that is billed against at the attorney's hourly rate. Finally, there's a chance you may find the ability to just get billed a flat fee per month at something like $300 – $500 per month. Generally, this will be involve only a few areas of law like mortgage foreclosure defense, but some attorneys use this fee structure for other cases. Litigation is complicated and expensive, but may be worth it – talk to your attorney and make sure you understand what you are looking at.
Business Representation
In this area, you will find many variations of fee structure, but the most common is a retainer against which the attorney will bill his or her hourly rate. That retainer usually varies with the industry or size of the business or, put differently, with the amount of work an attorney expects to come in from the business. Occasionally, you will see a smaller non-refundable retainer that gets billed against by the attorney. Now, the big businesses hire the biggest law firms and pay really big retainers. However, for most small businesses they likely don't need that much legal consultation and they certainly can't afford to spend tens of thousands on legal fees. For most, it is a good idea to have a lawyer that is familiar with them and can quickly handle any questions or needs, but it doesn't have to be overly expensive. For retainers, you are likely looking at $3,500 – $7,500 and for non-refundable retainers, you are probably looking in the area of $2,500 – $5,000. And, a structure that is becoming more popular is a monthly flat fee set-up where the business pays a lump sum per month, whether services are used or not. The plus is that the fee is predictable, but, of course the downside is keeping track of the cost-benefit because you will be paying each month no matter what was done.
Conclusion – Find a Free Consultation
Here's the point … most attorneys offer a free consultation and you should take advantage. Whether you meet with one or ten, meet with an attorney to know your options. Once you know the options, you can make the decision that fits best with your situation. Understand that law is a service and a business, but if you find the right attorney it will be worth the investment. Take the time to understand the costs and fees you will be paying… and, most importantly, what to expect in return.

A 21-year-old man from Dhayari, Pune, has been booked under section 376 (rape) of the IPC and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act after a 17-year-old girl registered a complaint against him on 25 October.
According to reports, the man allegedly raped the minor victim at a lodge in Katraj. He then forced her to undergo an abortion after she told him she was pregnant.
The two met on a social networking site and the accused reportedly promised to marry the girl.
"The girl accepted his friendship request on the site and they would often chat online. In one of these chats, he promised to marry her and asked her to come to Pune to meet him," The Times of India quoted a police officer as saying.
The daily reported that the girl had approached the accused and his family in Pune but they had rebuffed her.

Carols in the Park 2019 cancelledCessnock City Council has been forced to call off Carols in the Park 2019 due to the current bush fire emergency and the associated impact of smoke.Read More
What's On
How to help our local biodiversity
There are a range of ways residents, community members and visitors can help to support biodiversity in our LGA. See below for what Council is doing, and what urban and rural residents can do to help!
Cessnock City Council actions for supporting local biodiversity
Cessnock Local Environment Plan
A Local Environmental Plan (LEP) is prepared by councils to guide planning decisions and control development through land use zoning and development standards. Each council in NSW is required by law to have an LEP, which is prepared by council in consultation with the community before it is approved by the Minister for Planning. The Cessnock Local Environmental Plan (CLEP) 2011 is the main environmental planning instrument that applies to the Cessnock Local Government Area (LGA). Twenty (23) zones in addition to the Cessnock Development Control Plan (DCP) 2010 provide detailed development guidelines to supplement the CLEP. For more information go to Council's LEP page or the LEP contents on NSW legislation website.
Aussie Backyard Bird Count
Cessnock City Council is encouraging local residents to become citizen scientist through participating in the Aussie Backyard Bird Count, run by Birdlife Australia and Birds in Backyards each year in October. Locally in October 2016, 134 observers recorded 162 different bird species (with a total of 5,919 individual birds recorded) throughout the LGA. The 2017 Count will be held from 23-29 October.
Habitat Stepping Stones
Are you interested in creating habitat for native animals in your backyard but don't know where to start?
Cessnock City Council has joined the Habitat Stepping Stones program which encourages residents to create or improve habitat elements (food, water and shelter) on their residential properties. Examples include planting local native plants and food trees in your garden for birds and insects, provide water through bird baths or ponds, and more. If you would like to register for the Habitat Stepping Stones project, and pledge the three or more habitats elements you'll do, simply go to their website for more information.
Flying Fox Engage
Flying-foxes are nomadic mammals that fly across eastern and northern Australia. There are three types of mega-bats (or Flying-foxes) native to NSW, two which are currently impacting upon East Cessnock. Recently Cessnock City Council in partnership with Office of Environment & Heritage asked the community to respond on an online survey through Flying Fox Engage, asking respondents to consider and rank options that will help inform a Camp Management Plan for the Cessnock East Camp. For more information and updates go to the East Cessnock Flying Fox Camp webpage.
How can you help at your place or in your local area?
- Participate in the Habitat Stepping Stones program (as described above) to create habitat and corridors for local native species through providing food, water and shelter in your garden, which helps encourage biodiversity. Also learn and act on weeds and control these in your gardens, as many escape from residential gardens and into our bushland areas.
- Cessnock Mens' Shed and Community Garden - The Men's Shed is a community organisation welcomes volunteers to assist with a range of projects, including bird boxes for local parrots to breed and live in. On-site is also the community garden where local seed is collected and grown for supply to the local community and Landcare groups. If you would like to know more about the Men's Shed and Community Garden, head to their website, and help support them.
- Bushcare - There are some urban Bushcare groups working on public land in the Cessnock LGA, which helps to support and assist the restoration public lands and support our local biodiversity values. We have some Bushcare groups working in the Cessnock and Branxton areas. If you would like to find out more, contact Cessnock City Council staff via email.
Opportunities for local landholders and acreages can be through:
- Hunter Local Land Services – Offer advice to landholders to improve land management, biodiversity, agricultural practices and conservation of native vegetation on properties, and financial incentive opportunities through their annual grants program (run July to June each financial year). Contact your local Hunter Local Land Services office (Paterson for Cessnock LGA residents) or head to their website for more details – www.hunter.lls.nsw.gov.au
- Landcare – Groups of local landholders in rural areas can also form Landcare groups. Wollombi Valley Landcare and Congewai Valley Landcare groups are great examples of these - their contact details can be found via Hunter Region Landcare Network.
- Land for Wildlife – is a voluntary property registration scheme for landholders who wish to manage areas of wildlife habitat on their property, along with other land management objectives. Land for Wildlife is free to join and not legally binding, nor will it change the legal status of a property. The Community Environment Network, a community based organisation, delivery the program across NSW. Go to CEN's Land for Wildlife website for more information.
- Benefiting from Biodiversity Guide (2015) – This publication provides a guide to the opportunities available to the owners and managers of private land with biodiversity values. These opportunities are groped into three types: Commercial activities; Income supplementation; and Support programs.
Benefiting From Biodiversity has been created by Hunter Councils to help landholders navigate the government policies and programs that offer support to maximise your biodiversity asset and attract financial return opportunities. Download Benefiting From Biodiversity for property owners more information.
For annual environmental event dates both nationally and internationally, you can download this list here. More information is also available via http://www.environment.gov.au/about-us/media-centre/events

A planetarium is a theatre built primarily for presenting educational and entertaining shows about astronomy and the night sky.
Planetarium may also refer to:
The Planetarium of the Royal Observatory of Belgium is a Belgian planetarium and part of the institutions of the Belgian Federal Science Policy Office.
The dome of the planetarium measures 23 metres in diameter, on which the Sun, the Moon, the planets, the Milky Way and more than 8500 stars can be projected. The Zeiss UPP 23/5 projector of the planetarium is made up of 119 projectors and was built by the Carl Zeiss company of Jena.
Coordinates: 50°47′54″N 4°21′30″E / 50.79833°N 4.35833°E / 50.79833; 4.35833
"Planetarium" (プラネタリウム Puranetariumu) is Ai Otsuka's tenth single, which was released on 21 September 2005. The single had great success and became Otsuka's second #1 hit on the Oricon charts, selling 316,425 copies. In 2005, Planetarium sold 215,114 copies, making it the #41 best-selling single of the year. However, it still charted into the next year and was the #99 best-selling single in 2006, selling 100,555 copies. Planetarium is her second best-selling single after "Sakuranbo."
"Planetarium" was also used as an OST for the Japanese drama "Hana Yori Dango".
In the iTunes Japan Store, Planetarium was the 12th most downloaded song in 2006.
All songs written and composed by Ai Otsuka.
Planetarium was also used as the insert song in the first season of the live action Japanese version of Hana Yori Dango (Boys over Flowers).
Artò is a frazione (and parish) of the municipality of Madonna del Sasso, in Piedmont, northern Italy.
It is a village located some km west from the Lake Orta.
Since 1928 Artò was a separate comune (municipality).

Coordinates: 39°42′N 3°21′E / 39.700°N 3.350°E / 39.700; 3.350
Artà is one of the 53 independent municipalities on the Spanish Balearic island of Majorca. The small town of the same name is the administrative seat of this municipality in the region (Comarca) of Llevant.
In 2008 the municipality of Artà had a population of 7,113 recorded residents within an area of 139.63 square kilometres (53.91 sq mi). This equates to 50.9 inhabitants per km2. In 2006 the percentage of foreigners was 13.2% (890), of which Germans made up 3.9% (262). In 1991 there were still 136 illiterates in the municipality. 1,292 inhabitants had no education, 1,675 only a primary school certificate and 1,210 had secondary school leaving certificates. The official languages are Catalan and Spanish (Castilian). The Catalan dialect spoken on the island is known as Mallorquí.
Artà lies in the northeast of the island of Majorca, around 60 km from the island's capital of Palma. The Massís d'Artà, the highest and most compact massif in the eastern mountain chain of the Serres de Llevant, occupies more than half the area of the municipality. The municipality is located on the western part of peninsula of Artà and is bordered in the west by the Bay of Alcúdia (Badia d'Alcúdia), and in the north by the Mediterranean sea where its coast lies opposite the neighbouring island of Minorca. The coast of Artà stretches for 25 kilometres and, so far, has escaped being developed. Particularly noteworthy are the beach and sand dune formations of sa Canova d'Artà, the flat coastal strip near the settlement of Colònia de Sant Pere, the high rocky coves of the Cap de Ferrutx and a large number of smaller bays that extend from s'Arenalet des Verger to Cala Torta.
ART is a proprietary image file format used mostly by the America Online (AOL) service and client software.
The ART format (file extension ".art") holds a single still image that has been highly compressed. The format was designed to facilitate the quick downloading of images, among other things. Originally, the compression was developed by the Johnson-Grace Company, which was then acquired by AOL. When an image is converted to the ART format, the image is analyzed and the software decides what compression technique would be best. The ART format has similarities to the progressive JPEG format, and certain attributes of the ART format can lead to image quality being sacrificed for the sake of image compression (for instance, the image's color palette can be limited.)
The AOL service used the ART image format for most of the image presentation of the online service. In addition, the AOL client's web browser also automatically served such images in the ART format to achieve faster downloads on the slower dialup connections that were prevalent in those days. This conversion was done in the AOL proxy servers and could be optionally disabled by the user. This image conversion process effectively reduced the download time for image files. This technology was once branded as Turboweb and is now known as AOL TopSpeed.

You Must Change Your Life
Archaic Torso of Apollo
by Rainer Maria Rilke
We cannot know his legendary head
with eyes like ripening fruit. And yet his torso
is still suffused with brilliance from inside,
like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low,
gleams in all its power. Otherwise
the curved breast could not dazzle you so, nor could
a smile run through the placid hips and thighs
to that dark center where procreation flared.
Otherwise this stone would seem defaced
beneath the translucent cascade of the shoulders
and would not glisten like a wild beast's fur:
would not, from all the borders of itself,
burst like a star: for here there is no place
that does not see you. You must change your life.
I love this poem because (to me) it's about what isn't there. And if we can see what isn't there, we will find the answer to what is.
Imagine life without the clutter, the backstory, the excuses, the filler. Just the power and beauty of the torso, without a head to confuse and manipulate. "For here there is no place that does not see you."
Froggydaddy is a photographer and doesn't like to shoot in color because a red barret in someone's hair can distract from the intended subject. He has to know what is in the shot, and sometimes, more importantly what is not. Black and White gives him the power to define subject, background, foreground, his intent. But a purple gum wrapper in the middle of the street, could easily change the story, disrupt and distract from the power and beauty of his picture. And who wants their story to be about a purple gum wrapper or red barret?
And with writing, the pauses, the moments when a character chooses not to speak is the real story, isn't it?
Maybe Rilke is commanding us to get rid of our distractions. Find the meat, the heart, the pulp of life. And forget about the rest. Like a life-editor, wouldn't it be wonderful if someone could just zap the unneccessary stuff we focus so intently on, while our children grow, the earth spins, and our hair greys.
If you could get rid of the distractions that take you away from your art, your purpose, your being, what would it be? What is the head on your Apollo?
"Like a lamp, in which his gaze, now turned to low,
gleams in all its power."
For the New Year, I'm following Rilke's advice; to find the brilliance from inside, quietly embrace the empty spaces, and turn my lamp to low.

There is quite a bit of buzz in the air about an old fashioned marketing technique. The approach to getting the word out is historically proven, but is now being taken to the next level. Buzz marketing is the name. New mass marketing techniques may get more hype but they have not been proven to yield more effective results than buzz marketing. That's because personal recommendations and testimonials are still the best form of advertising. How can marketers harness the power of buzz marketing and reap the rewards for their own companies?
Buzz marketing can only work if people talk about the product. To get the chatter, or buzz, going, a marketer needs the assistance of buzz agents. Each agent is supplied with a free product or service. The agents then share their unique experiences with others. This discussion turns into buzz over the product or service. The agents track certain data which the company then uses to analyze the campaign and audience. This helps the marketer to know exactly who their target market should be based on the demographics.
Buzz agents usually have to abide by specific regulations. They have to provide all the details of their experience, even if it wasn't all good. They must also reveal the fact that they are working for the company that makes or distributes the product. This way, nobody will feel duped if they later learn that the person who convinced them to buy a product was indirectly working for the company.
Buzz marketing, at its most basic, utilizes the curiosities inherent in every person. People want to talk. They like to gossip. Buzz marketing is an extension of this natural tendency. Just as a newspaper, magazine or broadcast will take advantage of intriguing headlines to draw in viewers, so too will a buzz marketer with their product.
They can take an aspect of the product, for example, the rags to riches story of the product's inventor, and emphasize that story rather than directly promoting the product. They will give the public something to talk about, and the buzz will circulate on its own.
A buzz marketing campaign should have a hook to it that causes the general public to take notice. The aspect needs to be desirable and unique so the company's product or service stands out among all other similar products or services. Marketers can differentiate themselves with a personal life story, company history, product, or a great sales promotion.
After the hook is in place and the story formulated, the marketing crew can set the buzz agents loose, both online and in the real world. Giveaways, raffles, and similar promotions will rev up the buzz. Social media presence, blog giveaways, and sponsorships are all ways marketers use to connect to people and move the buzz along.
Advertisers have to keep in mind that as good as positive buzz is for a great product, it can be just as bad if the buzz is negative. Positive buzz will only be generated by a quality product. Marketers need to be sure that the product lives up to all of the claims that have been made about it. If it does not, the buzz marketing campaign will be a flop.
Marketers are finally tapping in to the benefits of word of mouth advertising. This new, purposefully driven form of interpersonal advertising is a powerful new cousin to the old chatter over the back yard fence. The value of buzz marketing is now being recognized and it is being used as an intentional part of a solid marketing and business plan. This affordable, almost gentle approach to marketing is an exciting new approach for marketers everywhere to directly reach out to their target audiences.

Serve up a rare, medium or well-done treat with Mrs Crunch's guide to the perfect steak
Great value recipes in association with Morrisons
SERVING up a succulent steak is sure to impress if it's cooked perfectly with your favourite side dishes and a bit of sauce on the side.
But cooking this pricey meat isn't always easy and a couple of minutes too long in the pan can ruin it for those who like it rare.
So here is my foolproof guide to help you dish up the perfect steak . . .
Cooking times for perfect steaks

Pour off fat from pan then sauté garlic in remaining oil until pale gold (about 30 secs).
Add wine and boil, stirring and scraping up brown bits for 2-3 mins until reduced by half.
Add water, soy sauce and any meat juices from plate and boil until reduced by half (3 to 4 minutes).
Reduce heat and whisk in butter, a third at a time, until a little thickened. Stir in parsley. Pour over steaks.
TIP: Serve with mashed potatoes and green vegetables.
Griddled rump steak with balsamic tomatoes
£3.65 per serving

1 garlic clove, finely sliced
200g cherry tomatoes, halved

Add the tomatoes, caster sugar and half the basil.
Season and fry for 5 minutes, until the tomatoes have softened and have started to disintegrate.
Next, heat a griddle pan. Make sure you oil the steaks on both sides and season well.
Fry for 2 to 4 minutes on each side – this will give you a nice medium-rare.
Transfer to a plate and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

When we lose someone we love, we begin the difficult task of planning a funeral service and a very personal farewell that specifically suits that unique person now gone from our midst. I offer a ceremony which reverently but warmly celebrates a life now ended, an opportunity for a great send-off and fond memories amidst some kind of hope and even joy for the bereaved. This can be through music, poetry, readings, eulogies and ritual, whether religous or secular.
Funerals are as much for the living as the loved one who has died – maybe more so. Listening to the bereaved and delivering a ceremony they will treasure is paramount to my work. In a funeral there is the need to capture the essence of the departed person. This involves their character, their spirit and their legacy. I set out to plan this according to what the family wishes. The collaboration of family and friends is vital in order to honour the departed in the most appropriate way. It is all too easy at a time like this to gratefully accept the first suggestions made, only to later wish you had done things differently. One of the beautiful and unique benefits about choosing a Celebrant to lead a funeral service is that I will spend time with you prior to the service, usually within the comfort of your own home, building a relationship with your family, listening to your wishes, hearing your stories, your memories and the significance of your grief in order to gain a true sense of the person who has died.

Genuinue Philips UHP 150W 1.3 P22 Metal Halide Projector TV DLP Lamp/Bulb
Bulb only, housing is not included.
UHP (Ultra High Performance) is a proprietary design of metal halide lamp manufactured by Philips that requires lower wattage for equivalent brightness. The benefits of this technology are a smaller and lighter projector, because the power supply is smaller and lighter; a cooler running, quieter, and less expensive-to-operate projector because of the lower wattage; and a longer lamp life, because the stresses on the lamp (wattage, temperature change) are reduced. UHP lamps last approximately 4000 hours whereas metal halide lamps last approximately 1000 to 2000 hours.

Act 49 (57)
Thursday, April 30th, 2015 at 14:09
Many months late, here is Act 49! And its 2003 reprint equivalent, Act 57! Since I only did one chapter, I decided to go into even more detail with the comparisons between them. Namely I noted some things that I was too lazy to do before, like noses being added and text being moved around. Someday I want to go back and add those things to the earlier chapters, but this one has absolutely everything my eyes could find. (Assuming I didn't forget to type it up or accidentally overwrite the entry, anyway.) Every single page but the last one has some sort of difference.
It's only a matter of hours before I would have hit that thirteen month mark again. But I wanted to see how many other things I could get done first, so I only started on this a few days ago. Living on the edge, of course. I still don't want to make any promises, but I'll be shocked if there isn't another update in five weeks or so.

There's nothing like staring at the onset of a new year and making predictions on what the next 150 years will look like. Silly predictions are the best! BBC cooked up some ideas and gave odds on what they think will happen in the next 150 years ranging from most likely to least likely and if it'll lead to utopia or dystopia.
A couple of my favourite predictions:
- High resolution bionic eyes are on sale in 2019
- You can upload the contents of your brain to a computer in 2021
- Cars are now purely automated and driver free by 2040
- Tax has been abolished in the USA in 2100

COLOGNE, Germany - Constantin Film has signed an exclusive deal with Christiane Ruff, one of Germany's most successful TV comedy producers, that will see Ruff develop and produce big screen laffers for the German producer/distributor. Ruff has been behind some of the most successful German sitcoms of the past 15 years, including Nikola, The Campers, Rita's World and Alles Atze. She's was head of comedy at leading German commercial broadcaster RTL and ran Sony Picture's German production operation for several years. Ruff's shows have received multiple International Emmy nominations and won numerous local TV honors. This summer, Sony Pictures in Germany will release her first feature film as a producer, the adaptation of best-selling comedic novel Resturlaub. Local-language comedies are a foundation of Constantin's business in Germany. They released last year's romcom hit, Vincent Wants to Sea, which won Germany's Oscar equivalent, the Lola, for best film. A recent Constantin pick up, Dutch comedy New Kids Turbo, has already earned around $4 million at the box office here.

A contractor died after a welding explosion at a chemical plant in Augusta, GA.
Steven Gonsalves, 29, of Beech Island, GA, died in the blast that occurred at the DSM Resins plant and was caused by a welding accident, said Augusta Fire Chief Chris James.
3 Workers Hurt at Alcoa AR Plant
Asphalt Plant Blaze Forces Evac
Paint Oven Fire Forces Evac
Transformer Blast TN Auto Parts Plant
Two other workers have been taken to a hospital after undergoing decontamination for chemical exposure, he said.
No evacuation was necessary at the Augusta plant, which produces powder-coat paint resins.
The plant, which produces powder-coat paint resins, is part of a massive industrial complex that includes the recently shuttered Fibrant caprolactam plant –formerly owned by DSM – and an adjacent nitrogen plant operated by Canadian fertilizer company PotashCorp.
In a statement, Hugh Welsh, the president of DSM North America, said the three men were not DSM employees.
"Based on current information these were contractors working on site," Welsh said.
He said the incident will be investigated by DSM.
"We are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred today at the DSM site in Augusta," Welsh said. "Our thoughts are with the family of the man who suffered a fatal injury as well as the two men who were injured in the accident."

I saw Blackstone Jr. when I was 8years old and started my interest in magic. Many years later, about a year before he died I watch him perform in Branson, Missouri. He performed the SANDS OF TIME illusion and the story/patter was great. Anybody know what or were that patter was. It was a story about Egypt and man walking through the desert. Thanks to anyone who can help.

I did the sands with Harry one year. It was funny. He wanted me to take off my glasses. I am blind as a bat without them so I wore them. When I walked out the one bowl of sand, he said something "Here is a nearsighted camel jockey with dry yellow sand." The worse part was when he flinged his hands towards you to get the towel which threw sand all over you. It is a cherished memory that I have preserved on tape.
Harry's basic patter was Jack Gwyene's. In fact he introduced it referring to it as Jack Gwyene's Sands of the Dessert which out of respect he called exa ctly the same thing.
I will check my dvd from Steven's Magic as it might be on their. PM and I will look up the Gwyene routine.

What is the Difference Between Anthropology and Sociology?
Post date: May 19, 2017
Do you happen to garble terms? Sometimes I mix up long scientific nouns with a similar meaning. That's how I decided to write about the difference of anthropology and sociology.

The Texans have already tendered Clowney a fifth-year option for 2018 at $13,846,000, so this slightly reduced number accounts for the possibility that Clowney either struggles to stay healthy or plays poorly enough for cheap Nike jerseys the Texans to decline the option.

For his part, Brady criticized himself for not making the catch of Amendola's perfect throw on a trick play in the second quarter, and for unwittingly resurrecting his wife's quote from that second Giants' Super Bowl in Indianapolis, when Gisele responded to a taunting Giants fan with a shot at Wes Welker: My husband cannot f—ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time, she said in 2012.

Services that compare website traffic are important to the industry because they provide context for how a site is faring. However, many sites claim these measurement services have incorrect data for them (here's some sample criticism), and that's not helped by the fact that all of the services seem to have different data.
You likely know the big players: Alexa and Compete. Then there are the premium services: Hitwise and comScore.
Now a new cowboy is riding into town — and he's arguably the best gunslinger in the Wild West: Google.
Google has launched a new feature for its Trends service that lets you compare websites, according to Search Engine Land. You can now get a graphical representation of how a site is doing in terms of unique visitors versus other sites.
Google's service gathers its numbers a bit differently than other traffic comparison sites. It looks at the search volume for a site, anonymous Google Analytics statistics and "other third-party market research," which again, seems a bit vague for a site trying to put out credible data.
The service offers other information as well. It will show the popular regions for particular domains, which other sites people have visited and what search terms people have used in order to get to that site.
It will take a bit of time and some testing to know just how accurate Google's entry into the site- comparison world is, but Google usually has good data, and this field really needs a clear authority.
Below you can see a chart comparing Facebook and MySpace. You'll notice that Facebook passed MySpace sometime in late 2007 according to Google Trends.

Common sleep medicine dogma states that chronic insomnia is a completely separate disorder from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). But just like other seemingly disparate medical conditions, there's increasing evidence that there may be a certain degree of overlap between these two conditions. It's been shown that anywhere from 39 to 58% of patients with OSA also have insomnia. Conversely, up to 43% of older people with chronic insomnia were found to have undiagnosed sleep apnea.
It's been stated that chronic insomnia and sleep apnea can co-exist together, but very few studies are saying the one could cause the other. To challenge this assumption, Dr. Barry Krakow and the Sleep and Human Health Institute is looking at the provocative theory that a large percentage of people with chronic insomnia have undiagnosed breathing problems during sleep.
I wrote in my book, Sleep, Interrupted, that almost every patient that I see with chronic insomnia has significantly narrow upper airways, and one or both parents snore heavily. Most chronic insomniacs prefer not to or absolutely can't sleep on their backs, due to the tongue taking up relatively too much space within the confines of smaller jaws. When in deep sleep, especially when on their backs, the tongue can fall back due to gravity, and because of additional muscle relaxation, causes breathing pauses and an inability to stay asleep.
It's also not surprising that most people with sleep maintenance insomnia keep waking up at various 90-120 minute intervals, usually around the same times. This makes sense since at the end of one sleep cycle, your muscles will be most relaxed. Not sleeping deeply can lead to chronic sleep deprivation, which causes adrenaline overload and a hyperactive nervous system, which you can't shut down when you're ready to go to sleep. This process can explain sleep onset insomnia. One recent study showed that sleep deprivation can even cause a kind of euphoria, which can lead to poor judgement and even addictive behaviors.
Maybe this is why cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia works very well, but not for everyone. There are numerous studies and personal experiences that confirm that treating the underlying sleep-breathing problem can fix the insomnia issues.
Granted, even if only 50% of people with chronic insomnia have obstructive sleep apnea, it's likely that another 30 to 40% will have upper airway resistance syndrome (or UARS), which is a huge topic that has been discussed elsewhere.
What do you think about my suspicion?

by the Wright brothers in 1903, at the Kill
Devil Hills. This is where the state motto,
"First in Flight" came to exist, as well as the
frontier offered and started on by these
pioneering brothers. Due to the state's location
next to the Atlantic Ocean, the majority of the
area falls under the humid, subtropical climate.
The land is made up of 3 major geographic
regions, which are the coastal plains, the
Appalachian Mountains and the Piedmont.
There are a number of major airports in the
state, such as the
Albert J Ellis Airport in
Jacksonville, the Asheville Regional Airport and
the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport.
There are many reasons to want to live in North
Carolina due to the layout of the land as well
as a number of attractions to keep you
preoccupied. The state has 1,500 lakes of 10 or
more acres in size, and 37,000 miles of fresh
water streams, giving plenty of fishing memories
for the outdoorsman! For the relaxing family
day, you can visit the Outer Banks of North
Carolina, which is home to some of the most
