OMAHA, Neb. – The Summit League announced its men's soccer all-league awards Wednesday afternoon as Omaha earned a league-high seven all-league selections followed by regular season champion Denver with six.
Denver's Andre Shinyashiki captured Offensive Player of the Year honors, while teammate Scott DeVoss earned the Defensive Player of the Year award. Eastern Illinois' Mike Novotny was selected as the Goalkeeper of the Year with Denver's Jacob Stensson being named Newcomer of the Year. Denver head coach Jamie Franks was named the Coach of the Year.
Shinyashiki is the second Denver student-athlete to be named Offensive Player of the Year (Zach Bolden, 2013). The junior, a three-time Offensive Player of the Week recipient, leads The Summit League with 22 points and is tied for the league-lead with nine goals, while his four assists on the year are tied for second. He has also added two game-winning goals this season.
DeVoss anchored a Denver defensive unit that led the league in shutouts (7), goals allowed (13) and goals against average (0.74). The junior started all 17 Denver contests and produced five shots, while collecting one Defensive Player of the Week award this season (Oct. 23).
Novotny becomes the first Eastern Illinois student-athlete to capture the Goalkeeper of the Year award and earns his third career all-league team honor. The senior led The Summit League in both saves (86) and save percentage (.835), which also ranked 11th and 12th, respectively, in the nation. Novotny carries a 0.94 goals against average and helped lead the Panthers to their best league record (2-2-1) in program history.
Stensson helped lead Denver to a 10-6-1 overall mark. He totaled three assists this season, all coming against league competition, recording a pair at Fort Wayne. The freshman becomes just the second Pioneer to win the Newcomer of the Year award, joining teammate Shinyashiki (2015).
Franks collects his third consecutive Coach of the Year honor after leading the Pioneers to their second unblemished league record at 5-0-0 (6-0-0, 2013). Peaking at No. 3 in the national polls earlier this season, Franks has led Denver to an unbeaten league record (15-0-2) the last three seasons. The Pioneers, members of The Summit League since 2013, have won the regular season title all five years.
Joining DeVoss, Novotny, Shinyashiki and Stensson on the all-league first team are Denver's Graham Smith, Omaha's Xavier Gomez, Emmanuel Hamzat, Elvir Ibisevic, Seth Rinderknecht and Jacob Weiler and Western Illinois' Drew Whalen.

We are delighted to announce the 2018 Autumn Meeting supported by the British Society for Developmental Biology.
This autumn's meeting focuses on, "Embryonic-Extraembryonic Interactions: from Genetics to Environment". This is the third in a series of international workshops on the extraembryonic-embryonic interface, bringing together researchers that address this topic through a wide array of approaches in diverse research organisms: from epigenetics to morphogenesis, and from mice and marsupials to beetles and bugs!
To appreciate the breadth of recent advances at the extraembryonic-embryonic interface, check out the meeting report in Development on the previous workshop.

What's New in Cervical Cancer Research and Treatment?
New ways to prevent and treat cancer of the cervix are being researched. Some of the promising new developments include the following:
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNLB)
During surgery for cervical cancer, lymph nodes in the pelvis may be removed to check for cancer spread. Instead of removing many lymph nodes, a technique called sentinel lymph node biopsy can be used to target just the few lymph nodes most likely to contain cancer. In this technique a blue dye containing a radioactive tracer is injected into the cancer and allowed to drain into lymph nodes. Then, during surgery, the lymph nodes that contain radiation and the blue dye can be identified and removed. These are the lymph nodes most likely to contain cancer if it has spread. If these lymph nodes don't contain cancer, the other lymph nodes don't need to be removed. Removing fewer lymph nodes may lower the risk of later problems, such as lymphedema of the legs.
A clinical trial is looking at a different way of doing a sentinel node biopsy procedure. It maps the lymph nodes using with robotic (laparoscopic) assisted near infrared imaging after injecting indocyanine green (ICG) dye into the cervix.
SLNB is not a standard procedure for cervical cancer at this time. Available studies suggest that SLNB may be helpful in early-stage cervical cancer, but more studies are planned to see if this procedure should routinely become part of the treatment.
In cancer, the immune system cannot control the fast growth of tumor cells. Recently, new drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors have been developed that "reset" the immune system. They have been found to be active in treating a number of types of cancer. Their helpfulness in cervical cancer treatment is not yet known, but clinical trials are underway to find out more. See Cancer Immunotherapy for more information on this type of treatment.
HPV vaccines
Vaccines have been developed to prevent infection with some of the HPV types that cause associated with cervical cancer. Currently available vaccines are intended to produce immunity to HPV types that cause about 90% of cervical cancers. Studies are being done to see how well these vaccines will reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
Vaccines are also being developed to prevent infection with some of the other HPV types that also cause cancer. Studies are being done to see how well these vaccines will reduce the risk of cervical cancer.
Some experimental vaccines are also being studied for women with established HPV infections, to help their immune systems destroy the virus and cure the infection before a cancer develops.
Still other vaccines are meant to help women who already have advanced cervical cancer. These vaccines attempt to produce an immune reaction to the parts of the virus (E6 and E7 proteins) that make the cervical cancer cells grow abnormally. It is hoped that this immunity will kill the cancer cells or stop them from growing. One such study in advanced cervical cancer showed tumor shrinkage with a vaccine against the E7 protein.
Targeted therapy
As researchers have learned more about the gene changes in cells that cause cancer, they have been able to develop newer drugs that specifically target these changes. These targeted drugs work differently from standard chemotherapy drugs. They often have different (and less severe) side effects. These drugs may be used alone or with more traditional chemotherapy.
Pazopanib is a type of targeted drug that blocks certain growth factors that help cancer cells grow. It has shown to be helpful in some early studies of patients with advanced cervical cancer. This drug continues to be studied.
Some research indicates that adding hyperthermia to radiation may help keep the cancer from coming back and help patients live longer. Hyperthermia is a treatment that raises the temperature in the area where the tumor is, most often by using radiofrequency antennae placed around the patient.

Dogs are not chairs
It seems that, in New Jersey at least, dogs are not chairs or other types of furniture, nor are they automobiles or pensions. Above the Law reports that an appeals panel has decided that dogs were "like "heirlooms, family treasures and works of art" whose "special subjective value" should be factored in by the court. Money damages were not adequate compensation." Accordingly, there should be a retrial in a case involving formerly engaged couple Doreen Houseman and Eric Dare, who are in dispute as to who should have custody of their 'nearly six-year-old brown pooch', Dexter. Dare's attorney James M. Carter apparently described the decision as the "first step down a slippery slope" that could lead to the courts spending "a ridiculous amount of time" on these issues. Still, Mr Carter, just think of the increase in your fee income...

Samsung Galaxy S8 showing users ads for games
When you pay big money for a premium product, you don't expect to get advertisements. You don't expect the company that created the device and charged a premium for it to try to make more money off of you with intrusive advertisements. Unfortunately, this seems to be Samsung's game.
The latest Samsung product to start showing ads is the Galaxy S8. Users are reporting that they're getting ads for the game Lode Runner. This is a result of Samsung's Game Optimizing Service. An optimizing service displaying ads doesn't seem so optimal.
To disable it, you'll need to enable the service in Settings > Advanced Features > Games if it's not enabled already. Then enter the app, hit the three dot menu, and disable the marketing information box. Hopefully this will disable the ads, though some say they still receive ads after this. And Samsung, this is no way to treat your customers.

Thank you for welcoming me here tonight.
I know that we are all proud of Barack, who has risen from humble beginnings to such heights--great heights, perilous heights. As you may know, 30% of serious accidents occur from a height of 10 feet or above.
And so we now set out together on our journey--a journey of hope, a journey of change, and yes, a journey of great demands. For the Presidency places great demands on all of those who hold the office--we have seen how quickly it can age people, as in the poignant photographs of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was succeeded by Harry S. Truman while still in office.
In this journey, we will put forward our shared goals--of expanded health coverage, against the unexpected and often fatal illnesses that can rob even those citizens that seem the healthiest of their ability to work, even of their lives. Of protection against unexpected attack on our country, often aimed at those who are placed in the most critical positions to lead this nation. Of conservation of our precious energy resources, without which, even the most powerful of us can wind up stranded in a desert motorcade, without food, water, or wireless reception to contact others for help. Of greater support for culture and the arts--beginning with increased support for our very own Ford's Theatre here in Washington, DC.
Many of you will hear Barack speak later today, from a platform in Norman, Oklahoma--a humble platform, a rickety platform, a platform susceptible to Norman's notoriously strong and unexpected winds. There--god willing--he will tell you of what we hope to accomplish. He will speak of the unity that he and I wish to achieve for this nation, just as Andrew Johnson and Lincoln strove for such national unity. And he will tell you of our wish for change.
Change. An important word. None of us can know the changes that will occur in our lives. None of us can predict what momentous events, what disasters may befall us. A simple damaged left engine turbine stabilizer in a campaign plane. A frayed electrical line dangling, unseen, from a remote access satellite hookup van. A safe, falling, unexpectedly, to the sidewalk from the 8th floor of the Hotel Aldion in Norman, Oklahoma.
And so, we must dedicate ourselves, we must consecrate ourselves, to reach these most important national objectives today--while we still can. And like Kennedy, Garfield, McKinley, and other Presidents before him, we know that Barack will strive to achieve these goals--in the face of the awesome unknowns that lay before us all.
Thank you.

A Hypothetical Speech By Vice Presidential Candidate Clinton:
Thank you for welcoming me here tonight.

Having now handed in the manuscript for my book I am looking at what I should spend the next year doing and I am tempted to try another book. So, being a market researcher I thought I would start by polling other people's views.
Here is link to a poll with three specific ideas and an option for people to make other suggestions.
The three topics I am currently looking at are:
- Analysing Market Research Data, from cross-tabs to conjoint. There are plenty of stats books about, but mostly they describe what we should do in some ideal world, not what we do. Indeed, most books do not mention cross-tabs at all.
- The busy exec's guide to using social media (this is the title of a workshop I am running at the BIG conference in May). This is not a research idea, but a guide to the best way to use social media, without being sucked in too far and too deep.
- Deriving insight from online discussions. My feeling is that whilst MROCs and similar are great, there is still much we need to learn and codify about how we glean the information from these new research environments.
I am not sure that all of the ideas above would be best met by a traditional book, maybe they should be a long article or a series of papers, or something via a website. But this is the early stage of the process.
I would love to here people's thoughts and suggestions, and feel free to vote here.

Excerpted from Wall Street Journal
Kern County's real GDP has recovered from the Great Recession, according to a report released Monday by the National Association of Counties.
As shown in the graphic below, online casino Kern was the largest county in the Central Valley to show recovery.
About half of the nation's 3,069 county economies are still short of their prerecession economic output, reflecting the uneven economic recovery, according to the report.

Clallam County Fire District No. 2
Fire District 2 was formed in 1944, and was founded by a group of housewives who lived in the Gales Addition east of the City of Port Angeles. Incorporation occurred in 1945. The District now covers some 85 square miles surrounding the City of Port Angeles. The District is bounded on the East by Deer Park Road and Lake Crescent on the West; Olympic National Park makes up the southern boundary and the Strait of Juan de Fuca the northern boundary. District 2 also responds to both fire and emergency medical calls throughout Olympic National Park from Hurricane Ridge to Sol Duc Hot Springs. The District is an ALS Trauma Verified Ambulance service. The service population is approximately 9,500 residents in a mix of commercial, suburban and rural areas The District responds to an average of 1,400 to 1,500 calls per year. Emergency medical calls are the bulk of our responses accounting for approximately 80% of all responses.
District 2 is governed by three elected Fire Commissioners who set policy for the District. The Fire Commissioners are Richard Ruud, David Whitney and Thomas Martin who serve six year terms. There are nine full-time paid staff members: Fire Chief Jake Patterson, Deputy Fire Chief (Vacant), Administrative Services Supervisor Heather K. Catuzo; Firefighter/Paramedics Margie Brueckner, Tyler Reid, and Ian Brueckner; Firefighter/EMTs Neil Crumley, Tyler Gear, and Zach Gear..
Fire District 2 is primarily volunteer. We have between 45 and 50 volunteers, but can roster up to 60. The volunteers respond to calls from four stations; Station 21 at 508 N. Baker Street, Station 22 at 700 power Plant Road, Station 23 at 1992 Black Diamond Road, and Station 25 at 22 Prospect Place.
District 2 is funded through the State Property Tax formula. Under State Law the District can receive up to $1.50 per $1,000 assessed value for fire suppression activities and $.50 for emergency medical services. Currently the District receives $0.96 per $1,000 for all services provided. A voter initiative limits the property tax increase.

ROCKLAND — The following cases were closed in Knox County Unified Court from Feb. 4-8.
Randall Scott Lind, Jr., 40, of Union, unlawful sexual contact in Union on March 1, 2014, 364 days in prison with all but 52 days suspended, probation one year; gross sexual assault, three counts, dismissed; unlawful sexual contact, twelve counts, dismissed.
Lind pleaded no contest to unlawful sexual contact Feb. 6. A no-contest plea has the same basic effect as a guilty plea, where the defendant is convicted and accepts punishment, but does not actually admit guilt.
The more serious charges of three counts of gross sexual assault that occurred in March, July and October of 2014 were all dismissed.
Lind is now required to register as a sex offender for 10 years since he was convicted on one count of unlawful sexual contact.
He has already served his 52 days at the Knox County Jail after he was arrested in March 2018 and before he was released from jail on bail the following month.
Lind was initially arrested Union who was arrested March 2 at the Knox County Sheriff's Office after he turned himself in on an outstanding arrest warrant for sexually assaulting a young girl numerous times.
He made his initial court appearance before Judge Paul Mathews in Knox County Unified Court on March 5, 2018.
His bail was set at $25,000 cash with no third party bail allowed. Judge Susan Sparaco lowered Lind's bail to $1,000 cash in April 2018.
Lind was arrested on a warrant obtained by Detective Justin Twitchell based on his investigation that began in late December 2017.
According to the affidavit filed by Twitchell in Knox County Unified Court, the sexual assaults involved a victim who was 11-years-old at the time of the incidents, which occurred in 2014 and early 2015.
The investigation began after Twitchell received a report from the Department of Health and Human Services. They had been alerted by a physician's office about a patient who said that she had been touched inappropriately.
When police interviewed Lind, he denied the charges, but declined to take a polygraph examination at the Sheriff's Office, according to the affidavit.
Lind was represented by attorney Philip Cohen of Waldoboro.
Corey A. Stevens, 26, of Fairfield, operating under the influence (alcohol)-no test, one prior, in Thomaston Feb. 1, $900 fine, 60 days in jail, license suspended three years, registration suspended; refusing to submit to arrest or detention and refusing to stop in Thomaston Feb. 1, 60 days in jail; failing to stop for an officer in Thomaston Feb. 1, 60 days in jail; failing to notify of motor vehicle accident, dismissed.

Love of plants sprouts from getting hands dirty
Peter Cuneo is the Manager – Natural Heritage at the Australian Botanic Garden Mt Annan, which is part of the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust.
Why did you choose a career in environmental science over careers in other fields? Who or what inspired you to make the choice?
I come from a keen family of gardeners and was always interested in plants and nature from a young age. I studied earth sciences at university, but also did some plant biology as well. After graduation I got a job working in a native plant nursery, ever since then native plants have been my total preoccupation. I was inspired to enter the world of native plants by my mentor – botanist and native plant author Dr Thistle Harris – who wrote some of the first books on native plant horticulture and design.
What is the best thing about having a career as a plant researcher? What is it about the field that inspires you to achieve your goals?
My motivation has changed as my career has evolved, in the early days I was motivated by the thrill and challenge of propagating and growing plants that were unknown to horticulture. Now I am more motivated by conserving highly threatened plants through an understanding of their seed biology. My other interest and motivation is in restoration ecology – it is now really important to use seeds for restoration of our damaged ecosystems. It is really inspiring to see seed germination and ecological restoration happen before your eyes!
Were you were involved in another field of research or profession before you entered plant research/ and what motivated you to make the change in your career?
I trained in earth sciences/geomorphology, but was inspired by the world of native plants and horticulture. Securing a job at the formative stage of the Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan was a unique opportunity to develop my interest into a career.
Why do you believe seed banking is an important way to conserve the world's plant resources?
It remains the best and most cost effective way to safeguard against extinction. We simply don't know what potentially useful and unique plants are being lost, and seeds give us good options for the future.
Would you like the role of seed banking in conservation to be more widely recognised for its contribution by scientists, politicians and the public?
Yes, most definitely. The importance of biodiversity and the conservation role of seed banking is not commonly understood. We get confused with agricultural seed banks.
How do you believe the work of the seed banking program could be most effectively promoted around the world?
We need some good 'hero' wild species that are promoted by a high profile media person such as David Attenborough. We need to make the strong link between plants and animals, after all, plants equal life!
What goal/s would you most like to achieve in your scientific career?
Making a real difference by developing an ecological restoration technique that becomes widely used to restore degraded ecosystems.
If you could achieve one major breakthrough in your field, what would it be?
Develop a new direct seeding restoration technique that works reliably.
Would you like to make new scientific discoveries or change the way people use/view science to improve the world?
That would be nice, but I would be happy enough to see people become a bit more reconnected with the natural world and value it!
If you were given the opportunity to excel in one area of research, or make a major scientific breakthrough, which one would you choose?
I would love to make a scientific breakthrough that eradicated an invasive species, such as the cane toad.
What is the biggest challenge you have faced so far in your career?
Balancing the demands of a full-time management role, doing and publishing research plus a family.
Do you believe that students with an interest in science could be encouraged by having a mentor like an early career scientist such as yourself?
Yes, most definitely, but a research career is becoming less attractive to young scientists as a permanent position is increasingly hard to achieve.
How do you relax after work? What is your favourite hobby, sport or pastime?
I like to go bike riding or bushwalking – anything that gets me away from the computer and office!

Isotonic Structure 6 Zone Memory Foam Mattress Topper Review
If you are looking for a memory foam mattress topper, you should add the Isotonic Structure 6 Zone Memory Foam Mattress Topper to your list of ones to consider. It is made of Visco elastic memory foam, which is fairly common with these types of products. You'll notice right away that the design is less than common, as there are channels running through the topper which make it look like a square tile pattern on top. The idea here is to keep it ventilated, more than design. With this they do a pretty good job of keeping you cool, which can be a downside of many memory foam products – which tend to lock in the heat.
The "6 zone" design probably sounds fancier than what it really is. Basically they segment the mattress pad into 6 different areas, representing areas of your body and tailor the comfort to you. However, I am not sure that the average person is going to think your feet are having a completely different experience from your upper back on any given night. That isn't to say it is a bad thing, because as far as comfort this thing delivers. Isotonic is generally a brand you can trust for mattress toppers, and this product is no exception.
The funky smell that people often report with memory foam is present here, but it is minimal. Also if you leave the mattress topper out for 24 hours or more at first, any lingering smells should dissipate. That is probably a good idea with any memory foam mattress topper you buy, and usually the instructions will say as much. (But who reads instructions?)
All in all this 2 inch thick mattress pad makes a pretty big difference on most mattresses. It is fairly dense, but provides a softer cushion than many other memory foam toppers that tend to be somewhat firm. Really it is a nice combination. This may be right for you if you have an old mattress that you are looking to enhance, or that has given you some minor aches and pains. Also if you have something like a folding mattress used in a pull out, it may be nice to keep this in storage to help make that more bearable when you have someone sleep over. As stated earlier, if you are in the market, it is worth a look. The price is on par with other similar products, and you can certainly pay much more for something that won't give a huge boost in quality or comfort.

Samsung Galaxy J9: Specs Price Review
If we talk about the Android Phones then the first name that comes to the mind is Samsung. This mobile company the Samsung is famous for its LED TVs and Smartphones. Now our focus will be on the Android phones of the Samsung Group. Samsung has made a large variety of Smartphones under different Galaxy Series. The Galaxy J Series is one of the famous Mobile phone series from Samsung Franchise. Recently we got some intel about the Samsung Galaxy J series that the company is working on a new J Series phone. The new phone is going to be named as Samsung Galaxy J9 phone.
Now we have limited knowledge about the Samsung Galaxy J9 phone but we can say that this will be a new device that will change our perception of the Samsung Galaxy J Series phones.
Samsung Galaxy J9 Specification:
The Samsung Galaxy J9 phone will come with powerful specs and features to outrun its competitors. We can say without any doubt that the J Series phone is almost equal to the Galaxy Note and S Series phones.

The Arizona State women's volleyball team will close out the 2016 season on Senior Night tomorrow against rival University of Arizona. If the Sun Devils have anywhere near the success that the Wildcats enjoyed in their salute to seniors on Wednesday, they will be able to say goodbye with smiles on their faces.
Arizona beat No. 17 Utah in Wednesday's Pac-12 game, marking the seventh time this season the Cats have beaten a ranked team.
Going into the Territorial Cup match-up with ASU tomorrow afternoon, Arizona's graduating group of five seniors have already become the winningest class since 2003, notching 81 wins over their careers, and will be looking at their fourth consecutive berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Out of that group, one player has just reserved a place in the UofA record books by contributing 52 assists in the Utah victory. Penina Snuka, the former Gilbert High School standout, became just the second UofA player all-time to record 5,000 career assists.
The 52-assist performance against Utah comes close to her season-high of 60 just two weeks ago against Washington State. The 5'6″ setter was also sporting a .232 hitting percentage going into the game against the Utes.
One of the most durable performers throughout her Wildcat career, Snuka, who spent her senior year in high school in Hawaii before being recruited to play in Tucson, has never played fewer than 114 sets in a season. The last two seasons have brought All-Region and All-Pac 12 first-team honors.
But the upset win over Utah was the work of a combined effort by the senior core. Outside hitter Kalei Mau led the team with 21 kills and tied a career high with three aces, libero/defensive specialist Laura Larson added 21 digs, outside hitter Katarina Pilepic chipped in a .333 hitting percentage that included nine kills, and libero McKenna Painton had 10 digs to post her seventh double-digit digs total of the season.
ASU will graduate just three seniors from a squad that is 11-20 overall and 4-15 in Pac-12 play. The trio includes one local athlete, libero Mia Mazon from St. Mary's High School in Phoenix, and a couple of outside hitters, Cassidy Pickrell from Texas and Maya McClendon from Kentucky.
Arizona (18-13, 10-9) is finishing up the month of November with four wins out of seven outings, while the Sun Devils have won just two games during that same period, but those two were back-to-back wins coming into this weekend, so they have a little momentum.
Last year, ASU won the first meeting with the Wildcats, 3-1, but Arizona came back to win the season-ending contest by the same 3-1 score. This year, Arizona won the only other game the two teams played, a 3-1 victory in late September.
Arizona finished the 2015 campaign with an almost identical record to this season: 19-14, 9-11. That trip into the post-season ended in the first round of the NCAA Tournament when they were beaten by Western Kentucky in straight sets.
This core group of seniors is now more experienced and have had a year to reflect on that early exit. They have one more chance to shape a better ending to their final season.
But first, their hated rival to the north awaits – with revenge on their minds.

Having a special someone to share your life with is practically everyone's desire. Finding just the right person who will love and support you and share your values in life is indeed precious, but it sometimes feels out of reach. Perhaps you're discouraged by previous disappointments in love or have been rejected one too many times to dare to try again. And yet you find yourself at a crossroad in life – you're no longer interested in living a careless bachelor life but can't find the right person with whom you could settle down. Let us assure you – what you're experiencing is quite universal, almost everyone has to face a similar problem at a particular stage of their lives.
Just as every man dreams of a perfect woman to spend his life with, every young woman fantasizes about a big white wedding with herself taking on the role of a bride. She even plans the whole thing years ahead, fills the stage with all her friends and family and just waits for the right man to ask her hand in marriage. There's nothing wrong with this picture except that sometimes reality doesn't even come near it. Finding someone like-minded and compatible can prove to be a difficult task, even locally. Attempting to do it globally is practically unachievable without a matchmaking service. Marriage agencies have become abundant lately, and their services include introducing you with dozens or even hundreds of girls from Ukraine, Russia, or Asian countries. In doing so, they take into consideration your preferences and give you an opportunity to meet those who are the closest matches to what you're looking for.
What to expect from a Mail Order Brides site
If you are at the very beginning of your search for your perfect bride online, you are bound to have numerous questions which we'll try to answer here. We'll tell you what the service we provide is really about, how some girls become mail order brides, and what to pay attention to when hiring an online marriage agency. We'll elucidate the reasons behind Russian, Ukrainian and Asian girls being as desirable as they are and give you some information on their upbringing and culture. We'll also discuss the advantages of engaging a match-making service over searching for the perfect bride yourself. The little-known facts about mail order bride marriages will be listed and discussed. We'll explain how a mail order bride site operates and take you through the whole process of finding your bride online. We'll provide you with a step-by-step guide from creating an account on our website and entering all the desired details to choosing a person from our database. Finally, the pricing issues will also get under scrutiny to facilitate your decision making.
Who is a mail order bride?
A girl who chooses to look for a husband online and fills in a form giving as much information on herself and her prospective partner as possible is called a mail order bride. In other words – an ordinary girl looking for happiness and love outside her social milieu.
How can I get in touch with my perfect bride?
If finding a soul mate online is what you're after, just follow these simple steps, and we'll turn your dream into reality:
- Register on our site by creating a profile that will introduce you and give us a sense of what you're looking for.
- Carefully fill in the form on our site providing as much information on your perfect bride as possible to help us narrow down the search criteria.
- We'll get you in touch with as many girls with features corresponding to those you indicated as necessary. We don't limit the number of girls you can get introduced to, and you are free to continue looking until you've found your perfect match. There's no commitment either – you're not obligated to continue the acquaintance if you're not comfortable with any of the conditions put in place by our service.
- For fees and charges, please check out the Pricing subsection of our website.
Who can benefit from using a marriage agency?
If you're a businessman with a hectic lifestyle and tightly filled-up calendar with no time to go out and meet people, this online service can be just right for you. The possibility to avoid the awkwardness of first dates is something everyone would embrace. By meeting the girls online and chatting with them for as long as you like, you can make sure that the person you choose shares your interests and values. The girls you will be introduced to are more than just pretty faces, each of them is someone to whom you can talk and in whom you can confide. They are well-read, mildly tempered persons who will make every moment you spend with them pleasant and memorable. All this splendor is just a couple of clicks away and easily reachable from the comfort of your home or office.

5 things to consider when looking for a bride online
- Knowing what you want is a prerequisite of a successful search. Carefully consider what you value the most and which characteristics of a future bride are the most important to you.
- Decide on the nationality of the bride you're looking for. Learn a bit about Russian, Ukrainian or Asian girls to be able to make an informed choice. Is what you need a calm Asian girl's temperament what a Russian girl's beauty and finesse?
- Get to know the selected girl's country of origin. This will provide a conversation topic and allow you to understand your chosen girl better. Women are brought up to expect certain things from their husbands, and this varies from country to country. Girls originating from Russia, Ukraine or Asian countries are quite traditional and have the highest respect for confident husbands who make them feel safe and cared for.
- Initiate a conversation with a potential bride. Always remember to stay polite, compliment her on her looks or something she said. Even though it's just an online communication, you never know if it will lead to finding a lifelong partner.
- Don't get discouraged if the first few girls you're introduced to turn out not to be what you're looking for. It's not always easy to find a perfect match, but there is a special someone for everyone in the world, you just have to keep looking. Believing in the success of your search for a perfect bride is essential. Picture her in your head; imagine how she should look and what personality features she should have. Then imagine your life together, how you will spend your days and enjoy each other's company. It's easier to recognize a perfect woman when you know exactly what you're looking for.
Little-known facts about mail order brides
- Thousands of men marry mail order brides every year in the US. The average user of this type of dating sites is an American man in the 35-60 age group.
- Over two-thirds of mail order bride marriages last for years.
- The divorce rate for these marriages is half the usual American divorce rate.
- Mail order brides are significantly younger compared to the average marrying age of American women. Most of them fall into the 21-30 age group.
- Over 20000 Russian girls and even more Asian girls become mail order brides each year.
- Interracial marriages have become a common occurrence in the US. More than 15% of people marry a person of a different ethnicity.
Even if we managed to convince you that using a marriage agency is the right thing for you, don't hesitate to ask us as many questions as you have on the subject. All contact information is available on our site, and someone is always ready to answer all the dilemmas you might have and put your mind at ease. If you're not sure how to use all the opportunities we offer, give us a call, and our customer service will be happy to explain everything in detail. No matter how much time you spend on the internet, using a Mail Order Brides site can be a novelty for you. So don't be shy – ask us anything! No question is improper, and we'll be sure to clear all misunderstandings and doubts you might have concerning the use of our service.
The price of using a mail order bride marriage service
If you check out multiple sites that advertise Mail Order Brides services, you will see that their prices differ significantly. However, opting to go with the most expensive one doesn't guarantee you the best service on the market. Sometimes, what makes a service expensive is the name they created and the amount of money they've put into their advertisement. Also, marriage services frequently offer Premium memberships implying that you will somehow be privileged if you pay them more. These memberships seldom differ significantly from regular ones, nor do they guarantee that you will find a perfect bride more effortlessly or more promptly.
At our website, the fees drop with every subsequent month of using our service. We value your time and put all our energy into finding you a perfect bride in the shortest time possible. This is something worth considering when picking an online dating service. We understand that you are sick and tired of being alone and of the futile search for a romantic partner that you've been doing for years. We will offer you a helping hand and make sure that you're satisfied with the mail order brides with which we put you in contact. Read carefully the information provided on our site to find out which services are offered and how you can benefit from using them. Once we've persuaded you to leave all the prejudice behind and embark on a new journey with us, a new life of joy and happiness will begin for you. The lonesome nights spent agonizing over your life's futility are over, and a bright future is ahead of you.

As I mentioned yesterday picking the winner of League Cup games can be especially difficult, as you can't be sure how seriously the teams are taking the competition.
The good thing with football is you're not restricted to just betting on the result of the match. Another popular bet type is Goals Over/Under. The good thing about this type of bet is that it doesn't matter which team wins the match for you to win your bet.
The most popular bets are Over/Under 2.5 and Over/Under 1.5. With the 2.5 market you're betting whether you think there'll be 2 or less goals (Under 2.5) or 3 or more goals (Over 2.5). Similarly with the 1.5 market you're betting whether you think there'll be 1 goal or less (Under 1.5) or 2 or more goals (Over 1.5).
You can also bet on Over/Under 3.5, 4.5 etc, plus some bookmakers offer Over/Under 0.5. So if you have a strong feeling there will either be very few goals, or plenty of goals, one of those markets may suit you better.
You can see in the above image (from the Coral web site) how they set the odds for the various different Goals Over/Under markets.
So if you think Arsenal and Southampton will manage to score at least 3 goals between them you'd bet on Over 2.5 Goals at odds of 3/4. If you feel they'll score 2 or less goals you'd bet on Under 2.5 Goals at 21/20.
What I particularly like about the Goals Over bet is you either win during the game, or at least it keeps you interested throughout the game, as there's always a chance of some late goals. I've had situations where a team has scored in the 95th minute to win my bet.
I like the Over 1.5 Goals, but as you can see from the Coral screenshot above, the odds are always pretty short for this type of bet, 1/4 for the Arsenal match and 1/5 for the Man Utd game. If you don't feel comfortable backing at such short odds, you can combine matches into an accumulator. For example if you were to bet on there being over 1.5 goals in both of tonight's matches, combined odds on the double would be 1/2. Still pretty short, but when there's more matches being played you can combine several matches to increase the odds.
Another way you could bet on Over 1.5 Goals would be to set yourself a profit target. Say to win £50 from a £10 bet. You could then build to this profit over the space of a week. For example starting tonight you could bet £10 on Over 1.5 Goals on the Arsenal v Southampton match @ 1/4. If 2 or more goals are scored your bet would return £12.50. You'd then carry the money over to your next match and bet £12.50.
Personally 1/4 (1.25 decimal) is the minimum odds I like to take on this type of bet. You'd need to have 8 winning matches in a row in order to exceed £50. Ideally you'd be looking for odds of 1.31 or more, which would take your £10 stake to just over £50 with 6 winning bets, reaching your target with 2 less chances for the bet to lose.
Weekends are great for this type of bet. With live football meaning you get games kicking off at lunchtime, mid afternoon and evening you can accumulate your stake throughout the day. The top European leagues often have matches kicking off a different time to those in England, so they can be combined to make your stake grow quicker.
One site I find useful in helping decide if a team is worth backing for Goals Over/Under is statarea.com. If you go to their predictions area you'll see they produce probability ratings for all matches.
Their predictions for Goals Over/Under (the yellow section) show an 81% probability the Arsenal v Southampton game will see at least 2 goals, which then drops to 55% for at least 3 goals and 32% for at least 4 goals.
Statarea is a good starting point. In future blog posts I'll be taking a look at other information to help you with this type of bet.

So I thought to myself Okay Katie, your next wedding list to-do item is hotels! Shortly after that I had another thought: I have no idea how to go about reserving hotel blocks...
I mentioned to J that I didn't really feel like I knew what I was doing on the hotel thing, and he was all like "oh well you just do this and then this and they'll do this and blah blah blah." So I'm like "J...how do you know all this stuff?" and he's like "Oh, I had to do hotel blocks when I planned that fraternity convention in college." Umm hello? Why the heck was I stressing over hotels when J has done it before, and could do it for me?
So, I took the hotels thing off of my to-do list, and placed it on J's. He researched the hotels in the surrounding area and picked 3, and then he called them and got it all worked out. And all I had to do was put the information on the wedding website. Love him.
So here are the three hotels we ended up with, followed by my tips for hotel blocks:
1. Homewood Suites - Discounted rooms, free breakfast, and only suite-style rooms
2. Hilton Garden Inn - free shuttles to/from the wedding, and discounted rooms
3. Courtyard by Marriot - discounted rooms, super-close to the church!
- DON'T agree to anything that could possibly force you to pay for unused rooms. You shouldn't have to.
- DON'T pick hotels that are not within convenient distances of your wedding. They may be cool hotels, but people won't want to stay in them.
- DO check online ratings for your hotels. You don't want to send you guests to anywhere yucky!
- DO pick a variety of hotels in a variety of price ranges. We picked one that was suite-style for the families that are coming, one that has a free shuttle so guests can use it to get to/from the wedding, one with free breakfast, one near a shopping mall, etc.
- DO ask the hotels to set up an online reservations link for you. It's much easier than making your guests enter a "Group code" into a textbox that can be hard to find on the reservations page.
- DO let your groom be all proud of himself when a hotel's event manager tells him she "never gets phone calls from grooms, only brides!!"

Butler's Lives of the Saints – Saint Bathildes, Queen of France
Saint Bathildes, or Baldechilde, in French Bauteur, was an Englishwoman, who was carried over very young into France, and there sold for a slave, at a very low price, to Erkenwald, otherwise called Erchinoald, and Archimbald, mayor of the palace under King Clovis II. When she grew up he was so much taken with her prudence and virtue, that he committed to her the care of his household. She was no ways puffed up, but seemed the more modest, more submissive to her fellow-slaves, and always ready to serve the meanest of them in the lowest offices. King Clovis II. in 649 took her for his royal consort with the applause of his princes and whole kingdom: such was the renown of her extraordinary endowments. This unexpected elevation, which would have turned the strongest head of a person addicted to pride, produced no alteration in a heart perfectly grounded in humility and other virtues. She seemed even to become more humble than before, and more tender of the poor. Her present station furnished her with the means of being truly their mother, which she was before in the inclination and disposition of her heart. All other virtues appeared more conspicuous in her; but above the rest an ardent zeal for religion. The king gave her the sanction of his royal authority for the protection of the church, the care of the poor, and the furtherance of all religious undertakings. She bore him three sons, who all successively wore the crown, Clotaire III, Childeric II and Thierry I. He dying in 655, when the eldest was only five years old, left her regent of the kingdom. She seconded the zeal of Saint Owen, Saint Eligius, and other holy bishops, and with great pains banished simony out of France, forbade Christians to be made slaves, did all in her power to promote piety, and filled France with hospitals and pious foundations. She restored the monasteries of Saint Martin, Saint Denys, Saint Medard, etc. founded the great abbey of Corbie for a seminary of virtue and sacred learning, and the truly royal nunnery of Chelles, on the Marne, which had been begun by Saint Clotildis. As soon as her son Clotaire was of an age to govern, she with great joy shut herself up in this monastery of Chelles, in 665, a happiness which she had long earnestly desired, though it was with great difficulty that she obtained the consent of the princes. She had no sooner taken the veil but she seemed to have forgotten entirely her former dignity, and was only to be distinguished from the rest by her extreme humility, serving them in the lowest offices, and obeying the holy abbess Saint Bertilla as the last among the sisters. She prolonged her devotions every day with many tears, and made it her greatest delight to visit and attend the sick, whom she comforted and served with wonderful charity. Saint Owen, in his life of Saint Eligius, mentions many instances of the great veneration which Saint Bathildes bore that holy prelate, and relates, that Saint Eligius, after his death, in a vision by night, ordered a certain courtier to reprove the queen for wearing jewels and costly apparel in her widowhood, which she did not out of pride, but because she thought it due to her state whilst she was regent of the kingdom. Upon this admonition, she laid them aside, distributed a great part to the poor, and with the richest of her jewels made a most beautiful and sumptuous cross, which she placed at the head of the tomb of Saint Eligius. She was afflicted with long and severe cholics and other pains, which she suffered with an admirable resignation and joy. In her agony she recommended to her sisters charity, care of the poor, fervour and perseverance, and gave up her soul in devout prayer on the 30th of January, in 680, on which day she is honoured in France, but is named on the 26th in the Roman Martyrology.
A Christian, who seriously considers that he is to live here but a moment, and will live eternally in the world to come, must confess that it is a part of wisdom to refer all his actions and views to prepare himself for that everlasting dwelling, which is his true country. Our only and necessary affair is to live for God, to do his will, and to sanctify and save our souls. If we are employed in a multiplicity of exterior business, we must imitate Saint Bathildes, when she bore the whole weight of the state. In all we do, God and his holy will must be always before our eyes, and to please him must be our only aim and desire. Shunning the anxiety of Martha, and reducing all our desires to this one of doing what God requires of us, we must with her call in Mary to our assistance. In the midst of our actions, whilst our hands are at work, our mind and heart ought to be interiorly employed on God, at least virtually, that all our employments may be animated with the spirit of piety: and hours of repose must always be contrived to pass at the feet of Jesus, where in the silence of all creatures we may listen to his sweet voice, refresh by him our wearied souls, and renew our fervour. Whilst we converse with the world, we must tremble at the sight of its snares, and be upon our guard that we never be seduced so far as to be in love with it, or to learn its spirit. To love the world, is to follow its passions; to be proud, covetous, and sensual, as the world is. The height of its miseries and dangers, is that blindness by which none who are infected with its spirit, see their misfortunes, or are sensible of their disease. Happy are they who can imitate this holy queen in entirely separating themselves from it!

While nosocomial or hospital-acquired infections are common, a study by a team of city doctors has revealed "high level" of microbial contamination in areas considered safe for patients. Colonies of harmful germs such as Staphylococci species, Pseudomonas, Bacillus species, Micrococci species, Enterobacter, E. Coli, Klebsiella and Citrobacter have been isolated from various operation theatres and intensive care units such as those under paediatrics (PICU), neonatal (NICU), surgical (SICU) and medical (MICU) categories and labour rooms.The colony forming unit (CFU) rate, that indicates contamination levels, is high in most places indicating the gravity of the situation.
Researchers S Kiranmai and K Madhavi of the department of microbiology, MediCiti Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, published their findings in the December issue of the scientific journal, International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences (IJRMS). They said while operation theatres were infested with mostly the Bacillus species, ICUs reported "potential pathogens" such as Klebsiella and Pseudomonas. Pseudomonas is resistant to several antibiotics and it freely thrives in antibiotic solutions, feeding on the drug.
As part of the study, the team collected air samples and swabs from floor, walls, patient beds, cradles, drug and instrument trolleys, ventilators, blood pressure apparatus, pulse oximeter, operation theatre tables, operation theatre lights and suction apparatus.
All of them showed varying degree of contamination of either fungi or bacteria or both.
According to the study, gynaecology operation theatres exhibited relatively less bacterial contamination. The highest level of contamination was noticed in the orthopaedics minor operation theatres. Even dental operation theatres were contaminated. The team isolated bacteria from 43 per cent of the samples tested. The most common pathogens turned out to be Bacillus species (75 per cent), followed by Micrococcus (54 per cent).
The study said, "high le vels of microbial contamination indicate the needs for periodic surveillance for early detection and prevention of hospital-acquired infections. Potential pathogens in operation theatres and intensive care units can pose a great risk to patients."
The study suggested that manual cleaning should be carried out along with fumigation and use of less toxic disinfectants.
"Fogging cannot replace manual cleaning. Since human activity plays a major role in microbial air quality, meticulous cleaning and strict adherence to operation theatre protocol are essential," the study said.

a catbird on my head
a catbird on my head
At dawn this week, as I was meditating in the magnificent morning chorus, a catbird flew up behind me and landed on my head then flapped away! Needless to say I was startled – but once my heart settled, I welcomed it as a blessing of being received as one with All in the garden. Mousy grey, inconspicuous-looking catbirds are my most favorite choristers all summer long. Then after another hymn of praise, she or he flew up from in front of me and did it again – this time resting longer as I was more still. Now I knew I was definitely blessed!!

#1 Hers, Mine, Ours, All Aboard!
It was late afternoon when Quetzal sluiced between the massive breakwaters of Puerto Sherry, a huge marina complex just across the bay from Cadiz. We were finally on the other side of the Atlantic. My sixteenth crossing had been challenging as we coped with calms, gales and breakdowns. Now another challenged loomed, and I wasn't sure if I was ready for it.
I heard them before I saw them. "Daddy, John, Daddy, John." They were charging down the Quay at full speed, all four of them, waving, smiling, pushing and shoving. Nari, Nikki, Nicholas and Alex, ages 14, 12, 11 and 9. My daughters and stepsons, it was a race to be the first aboard. Yikes what a family, what a crew. My lovely wife Tadji trailed astern. She wore an expression of mixed relief – our long separation was over at last and, it was my turn to deal with the stinking kids.
"Hey guys," I shouted, thrilled to see them and a bit overwhelmed. "Grab a line."
Within a day my crossing crew departed and the family moved aboard. Our plan was to head west, into the Med, and see where we ended up six weeks later. I confess, I was less concerned about the Med's fickle weather than I was about the potential storms that might erupt aboard Quetzal.
Although Tadji and I had been married for a year, the kids had rarely spent more than a week together before returning to the other parent. To further complicate matters, Quetzal had been a sanctuary for the girls and I after my divorce from their mother and they had proprietary feelings about the boat. They also were used to having their own cabins. But something was happening, something good.
The kids worked out the accommodations. Nikki moved forward with Nari and the boys took her quarter cabin aft. So far so good. What was going on? Nari, explained things to her old man. "Daddy we want to get moving, we have a lot of places to see and only have six weeks." Was I dreaming?
Our passage through the Straits of Gibraltar was exhilarating. We blasted into the Med at 14 knots over the ground. I was nervously dodging a steady stream of freighters as the kids cheered every time we set a new speed record. The boat was rocking, rolling and flying. I had suspected seasickness, boredom and bickering. Instead, they kept pestering me for me quick quiz geography questions and marveled at the dry mountains of Africa. I pinched myself.
We made landfall in Morocco in a dust storm. No problem. The shimmering desert landscape and bewildering medinas drew them together. Something else I hadn't expected was taking place. Isolated by language and culture, they felt safe as a group. They needed and counted on each other. They discovered that they really liked each other.
On the three day passage to the Balearic Islands they paired up. Nikki and Alex played for hours below, no matter the conditions. Nari and Nicholas sprawled in the cockpit reading and talking. Nari and Tadji teamed up for night watches and Nicholas sometimes accompanied me. The kids plotted position on the chart. They rarely argued. I wasn't sure if they'd been drugged or I had. We were having a great time.
We made it to Barcelona before it was time to send them home. Tadji and I watched proudly and with an ache in our hearts as they boarded the plane. Two fair headed girls and two dark skinned boys, brothers and sisters. Sailing had turned us into a family and we knew we'd miss them terribly. Of course, for me at least, the prospect of another six weeks of sailing in the Med with just Tadji helped ease the pain.

Sixers beat Spurs 97-78, end 13-game skid in San Antonio
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The Philadelphia 76ers accomplished a series of rare feats against the Spurs.
They won in San Antonio, swept the season series against the five-time NBA champions and made the Spurs look bad while doing so.
Ben Simmons scored 21 points, Joel Embiid had 18 points and 14 rebounds, and Philadelphia held the Spurs to a season-low point total in a 97-78 victory Friday night, snapping a 13-game losing streak in San Antonio.
The 76ers celebrated afterward, cheering in the locker room and singing along as music played loudly in the background as they dressed to leave the AT&T Center.
"We're happy, we won," Simmons said. "We're playing well. We're playing good team basketball."
They had reason to celebrate.
The 76ers became just the second Eastern Conference team in three years to sweep a season series from the Spurs, joining the Pacers, who completed the feat Sunday.
San Antonio had not lost at home to Philadelphia since 2004, but the 76ers didn't have a healthy Embiid and Simmons before. The 76ers opened a double-digit lead they would never relinquish with 1:35 left in the first quarter, extending the lead to as many as 25 points.
"The old Sixers, the old Sixers," Simmons said when asked about the losing streak. "We've got to come in with a new mentality and we've got to leave the past and play the way we play."
Simmons added seven assists and five rebounds.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 18 points for San Antonio, which lost for just the fourth time at home this season.
The Spurs set season lows for total points and points in any half, and matched their season worst in the first quarter.
"If I was a San Antonio fan tonight, I'd ask for my money back," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
San Antonio's only lead was 5-3 on Pau Gasol's dunk three minutes into the game.
Gasol finished with 11 points and Dejounte Murray had 10 points and nine rebounds.
The Sixers used their athleticism and length aggressively, applying full-court pressure early to disrupt the Spurs' offense and quickly rotating their defenders.
"Philadelphia was great. They were physical. Brett's got them really executing well and playing with confidence and they did it at both ends of the floor," Popovich said, referring to coach Brett Brown, his former assistant.
"Their defense got us out of everything and our defense wasn't great. Their speed got us. We didn't get back in transition. So, I thought they did a great job."
After matching a season low for points in the first quarter with 13, the Spurs had a season-worst 31 points in the half. San Antonio was 0 for 10 on 3s and shot 35 percent overall in the first 24 minutes.
"We played really well defensively," Embiid said. "We were physical, we got the stops we needed and on offense we took care of the ball."
The Spurs finished 3 for 24 on 3s and shot 40 percent overall. It was their worst 3-point outing since going 1 for 12 against Chicago on Oct. 21.
"They outcompeted us on both ends," Murray said. "They were running, getting what they want. They knew what we were doing on a lot of stuff. We just had a bad night."
76ers: The 76ers' last victory in San Antonio was Jan. 3, 2004. Derrick Coleman had 20 points and 11 rebounds to lead Philadelphia to an 83-77 victory, which snapped the Spurs' 13-game winning streak and was also their fourth home loss at the time. ... G Jerryd Bayless was a late scratch from the lineup with a sore left wrist. ... The starting lineup of Embiid, Simmons, Robert Covington, Dario Saric and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot is 3-1 collectively.
Spurs: Kawhi Leonard was not available to play as he continues to rehabilitate from right quadriceps tendinopathy, but was in uniform on the bench for the first time since returning to the injured list. ... Aldridge grabbed his 7,000th career rebound, becoming the only player in the NBA with 16,000-plus points and 7,000-plus rebounds since he entered the league in 2006. .. The Spurs' previous low was 34 points in the first half against Orlando on Oct. 27. San Antonio matched its season low of 13 points in the first quarter that was set Dec. 30 at Detroit. ... Gasol became the 34th player in NBA history to play 40,000 career minutes.
Embiid was shocked to learn New Orleans center DeMarcus Cousins had suffered a left Achilles tendon injury during the fourth quarter against Houston on Friday.
"Oh my God," said Embiid, who has battled injuries throughout his career. "Injuries suck. I went through it my first two years and then my third year I got injured again. All I can say is I'm going to pray for him. I'm a firm believer in God and I pray a lot, so, he's definitely going to be in my prayers. I think right now he's the best big man in the league offensively. Hopefully he gets back on the court pretty soon."
Patty Mills, who is generously listed at 6 feet, blocked 7-footer Embiid from behind in the third quarter, drawing loud gasps from the crowd. It was Mills' seventh block this season.
76ers: Visit Oklahoma City on Sunday night.
Spurs: Host Sacramento on Sunday night.
