Cancer arises due to genetic alterations that disrupt numerous cellular functions including proliferation, programmed cell death and senescence, that ultimately control the number of cells in a population. The genetic damage that underlies the development of cancers has a diverse etiology and loss of DNA repair mechanisms also may play a role in allowing mutations to accumulate. Cancers are also characterized by the ability to invade surrounding tissues and to metastasize. Many of the molecular alterations involved in this process have yet to be elucidated.
Gynecologic cancers afflict women of all ages. Cervical cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy worldwide, accounting for over 400,000 cases annually. Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy with approximately 33,000 new cases being diagnosed annually in American women. Ovarian cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer related mortality in American women, with approximately 14,000 deaths occurring from it in 2000.
The creation of a tissue repository containing tissue specimens, blood/serum, and molecular extracts (DNA, RNA, protein) will provide a rich source of tissue for future gynecological disease research studies.

What McDonald's new ecolabel means
McDonald's said Thursday that it will be the first national restaurant chain to carry a label from a group that certifies sustainable fishing practices.
The blue "ecolabel" from the Marine Stewardship Council certifies that the Alaskan Pollack used in McDonald's Filet-O-Fish sandwiches come from suppliers with sustainable fishing practices.
The Marine Stewardship Council also partners with other major chains including Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Whole Foods. The nonprofit group is paid a royalty by companies that use its label.
Other groups also offer seafood labeling. Last year, for example, Whole Foods also stopped carrying wild-caught seafood that's "red-rated." That indicates it's either overfished or caught in a way that harms other species.
The color system is determined by the Blue Ocean Institute and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California.

Email shows ex-Solyndra CEO thanked 'Bank of Washington,' as new report rips loan process
A congressional report concluded Friday that "political pressure" by a White House eager to tout stimulus spending was largely to blame for fast-tracking the ill-fated $535 million Solyndra loan guarantee -- findings compounded by the release of an email that showed the former CEO once referred to the aid as "The Bank of Washington."
The email and the report were released by Republicans, who continue to use the scandal to portray the Obama administration as careless with taxpayer money in pursuit of its alternative-energy agenda.
The email, posted online by the Republican National Committee, was a late 2009 message from ex-CEO Chris Gronet. "The Bank of Washington continues to help us!" he exclaimed, pointing to the recently approved loan guarantee and other tax incentives the company might use.
The report, meanwhile, was released by Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and caps a nearly yearlong investigation by the panel into why the government allegedly ignored red flags to approve the loan. Solyndra, a solar-panel firm, filed for bankruptcy last year.
"It is clear (the Department of Energy) should never have issued the loan guarantee to Solyndra," the report said, adding that a subsequent decision to restructure the terms "violated the plain language of the law."
The report, which follows another GOP-authored congressional study earlier this week on the Justice Department's Fast and Furious scandal, is sure to fuel an election-year furor over questionable taxpayer investments in private companies.
The Obama administration has argued that the overall loan guarantee program has been successful and critical to supporting alternative energy innovators. In response Thursday, the administration blasted the GOP report and defended the integrity of the program.
"This is month 18 of this congressional investigation and everything disclosed ... affirms what we said on day one: this was a merit based decision made by the Department of Energy," White House spokesman Eric Schultz said. "As Republicans won't answer how much investigation has cost taxpayers, we believe they should instead be focused on legislation to creating jobs and grow the economy."
But an overriding theme in Thursday's report is that the Department of Energy was under pressure from the beginning in 2009 to approve the Solyndra loan guarantee despite warning signs.
"This report conclusively shows that DOE pushed forward with the guarantee despite these warnings because of the Obama administration's desire to use the Solyndra guarantee to highlight its stimulus," the report said.
The report cited a March 2009 phone call between an Energy Department official and the White House, calling that the genesis of the "conditional commitment" -- incidentally just a few weeks before a major Obama speech on the stimulus -- though "key terms" of the deal were not settled.
Further, the report said the September 2009 closing was guided by a Sept. 4 groundbreaking event, claiming the closing date was set by the White House and Energy Department before the budget office's review.
That review, the report said, then "took a mere 9 days, even though it was the first DOE loan guarantee ever made."
The report concluded that the overall loan guarantee program was a "poor fit for the stimulus," citing an October 2010 memo that noted some projects probably would have gone forward without federal funding.
The report did not level corruption charges at the administration, despite early suggestions by lawmakers that cronyism was at play. The report did claim that George Kaiser, an Obama backer whose foundation invested heavily in Solyndra, was "closely involved" in decisions on the loan.
Meanwhile, the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Wednesday approved a bill that would end for good the loan guarantee program and impose new safeguards over existing loans.

scotweb necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 77 diseños de 26 diseñadores freelance.
We've done mockups what we want our site to 'say'. But now we need a really excellent designer to polish it for a really professional finish - projecting classy, classic, authoritative, excellence, trustworthy. I'm re-advertising this project with a higher prize now, but am still open to negotiation for full finishing and more work later if you feel that's what it will cost for your skills.
Scotweb - weavers to the World
The World's Largest Tartan Store
Desired Color Scheme:
Blue - and working with colours from tartan sample top left
Desired Style:
Classic, classy, authoritative, subtly Scottish, expert, friendly
Accepted File Formats:
Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
This is for a full-scale redesign of our existing site at http://www.scotweb.co.uk with the aim of making it cleaner, clearer, and to give a more classy look that better reflects the quality of our products. We will do all implementation.
I have produced jpeg mockups for both a 'tartans' Landing Page and a Product Page, as well as with an example menu dropping down from the main navigation tabs. I've also included a couple of pics of the tartan we want to use. And there's also my raw photoshop file which you may find helpful. You'll find these at: http://www3.scotwebshops.com/scotweb_redesign/
We'd like to see reworkings of these two pages to choose a contest winner, and then we'd ask the winner to produce a few more page templates (ranges, checkout, etc) as part of the prize. We'd also ask for a set of widget graphics (for open, close, info, etc) for both current and future use.
Briefly, this is the basic look and feel we want, and we're not looking for major substantive changes (although we will of course listen to well-reasoned suggestions). We've been through plenty of iterations already, and this is the best approach we have yet, compiling various inputs and considerations. The overall aim is to look clearer, classier, and a bit less boxy, whilst avoiding tiny/fiddly interactions for our elderly users.
What we do want is to tighten up my untrained design through mostly subtle improvements that may be obvious to you, but I'll run over briefly here...
We want to use the specific tartan shown in the top left (which continues our old computer background themes) as a splash of soft fabric more or less as seen, but done better. We can email you the snaps to work from. Or we can rephoto it - this was snapped quickly yesterday.
We want to use blue and yellow/gold (complementing with the tartan, though not necessarily the same) as principal colours, and purple as another key colour for highlights. The green from the tartan would be dropped (and basically only ever appear in photos). The body background should be white, text black, and links blue (not the bright html default blue) with complementary shades for light-on-dark instances.
Basically, we need colour use to be improved both in terms of the precise pallette employed and in consistency of application to reduce colour-clutter.
None of the fonts we're currently using are required. But we they do more or less give the effect we want. The logo font isn't ideally legible, but humanises the company more than our current logo. The tagline(s) should be there (and may change for different Landing Pages).
We need to end up with a consistent stylesheet of fonts, with a list of fallbacks for elegant degradation.
The text areas should remain in roughly their positions. Some of the text isn't quite finished, but gives the idea.
I've tried to work to a three-column principle. But as you'll see it's by no means rigorous. I'm hoping a designer's eye will improve both the general and specific positionings and alignments on the page.
We're thinking in terms of a fixed layout, with the page area centered in the browser window when wider. Haven't thought about what shows outside the page in the browser window.
Most of the current design elements (tabs, text boxes, dividers) could use some improvement, both as stand-alone items and also in terms of overall consistency and integration.
The 'features' boxes (tartan finder etc. to the right of the logo, whose contents would change according to Landing Page) could be a lot better. And things like the boxes for the video/e-book below were early drafts I've done nothing with since. Ditto the tabbed information box on the Product layout, pretty ugly and unfinished. The shaded grey horizontal divider-headers (e.g. for the Menswear etc. index pics in the middle of the page) I quite like, but aren't of course fixed.

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm
3) Describe problem: I am using Split Menu Buttons on the site I am designing and they work fine. I have tried adding the Ultimate Fade-in slideshow as well and it show up. The only problem is that the menus open behind the slideshow. Is there a way to make them always show on top of the slideshow? I am fairly new to javascript so I don't know that much about it yet but am trying to learn. The page right now is only on my local machine so I don't have a url to post for the actual page. I have attached the page as a .txt file instead, hope it helps.

The Syrian conflict, for example. I guess many Americans joining the forum believe their government efforts towards toppling Assad are right. They might think that the USA is doing that for democracy's sake. But if you ask Chinese and Russian members to comment over the issue, or Syrian members themselves (if they do exist - I don't remember having read any post from a Syrian participant), they might have a completely different opinion. As Heraclitus said eons ago, "We must know that war (polemos) is common to all and strife is justice, and that all things come into being through strife necessarily."

Maertelaere needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 26 designs submitted by 4 freelance designers.
Page one: ExamenOverzicht (ExamOverview). Pages two and three: Examen <course>, like Examen Economie (Exam Economics)
This is a proposal for creating a design for a website build around the topic of high school exams in the Netherlands, http://www.examenoverzicht.nl. The aim of examenoverzicht.nl is to create a portal where students in their final years of high school can find information and tools, tailored to their school level, to prepare optimally for the upcoming exams. The deliverable shall contain a three page design for:
1. An overview page containing an explanation of the concept and two boxes representing the school levels, filled with links to the course specific pages
2. A landing page for a specific course
3. A sales page (direct response page) to sell a summary of the exam contents of a specific course. (part of page 2)
The target group is high school students with the age of 15-20, who are doing final exams for high school. The website design must provide confidence, and create a feeling that the website will help you in your preparations for the exams. On the other hand the website must look fresh and cool for students and give a feeling that learning in this environment is 'cooler' than inside a classroom. Thus, the theme should be 'cool high school'.
Although the overview page might differ from the course specific pages, all pages should be recognizable as being under the same corporate umbrella. All course specific pages each have their own color, for example economics has a blue theme, while biology has a green theme, even though they all have the same layout, in a different color. As a general remark, we don't like when people have to scroll too much down the page. Most info must be visible without scrolling.
See attachment for page details.
None - this is a new website.
http://simplegeo.com/ (this one is just about the background. Even though this background looks quite mathematic, a similar background (but less mathematic) on the course specific homepage might be nice. Perhaps with line-paper, with school items, like a pencil and/or eraser somewhere, as a background)
http://eindexamen.3fm.nl (even though the background is too busy, we like the ´Eindexamen´ header, and would like to see a similar header with the title ExamenOverzicht. Also, we like the way this website puts the content into blocks with a little bit of space between them)
http://www.justdot.gr/ (the ExamenOverzicht header mentioned above, might be nice in this blackboard style, with the letters just as on this website it says´brilliant ideas come to life´)

Recently, the IRS extended "good faith" transition relief, which protects employers from ACA employer reporting penalties for an additional year, provided they make good faith efforts to comply. We expect that agencies regulating employers and their health plans--DOL, HHS, IRS, and EEOC--will continue to issue guidance on the ACA, tax, and other compliance topics in the coming months.
Now that Donald Trump has won the presidency with a majority Republican House and Senate, what does the future of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) look like? During the campaign, Donald Trump supported Republican Congressional efforts to "repeal and replace" the law with an alternative health care plan. Will he push through with his campaign pledge?
In response to President Obama's 2015 State of the Union Address and subsequent urging by the U.S. Department of Labor, state and local governments across the country have enacted paid leave mandates requiring employers to provide paid sick and parental/family leave.
While health care is not a top priority on the campaign trail and not top of voters' minds this year, who wins on November 8 will impact the health care agenda in Washington in 2017. According to analysis presented in the Business Group's special election year webinar earlier this week, even though Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump don't offer many details about their health policy priorities, we can glean enough information from them and from Congress to make some predictions.

Denver real estate quest 2013: Does anything ever go smoothly?
Denver real estate quest 2013: An epic undertaking
Denver real estate quest 2013: The suspense is brutal
After a lengthy house search, we'd offered on the 20th house we saw. It was our third offer of the season, and with some luck, the seller accepted our offer.
Now, all we needed was for everything else to go right.
Like a lot of folks, our home purchase is contingent upon the sale of property we own. (In our case, we have been renting that property to tenants while renting from someone elsewhere; we moved cities and didn't want to rush a sale.)
While our place was under contract, it wouldn't close until just over two weeks before the closing date of the place we were buying — leaving plenty of room for something to go wrong.
Our buyers asked us to fix up a few small things after their inspection. No problem.
Then came the appraisal. The condo that we were selling appraised at 2.7 percent under the price on the contract.
"That's happening all over the place right now," one Realtor told me. In fact, David Migoya recently wrote a story on the conflicting pressures on buyers, sellers, appraisers and lenders. (Of course, if you followed me on Twitter, you'd already know that.) The long and the short of it is this: Because there aren't many properties on the market right now and people are starting to shop around, prices are going up, but because appraisers and lenders took some blame for building up a dangerous housing bubble, they're quite a bit more cautious than the market is.
From Migoya's story:
"Buyers have a couple of options," said Craig Wildrick at Zions Bancorp, which owns Vectra Bank. "They can increase their down payment, reducing the amount of the loan, negotiate a lower price … or decide to look for a different property."
Our buyers chose to negotiate. They dropped their offer to the appraised amount.
For us, this posed a big problem. We'd already come off of our asking price, which had influenced our housing search. Beyond that, it just made us mad. Even if we were being as objective about it as we could be, we thought our condo was a good deal at the price. In a vacuum, we'd have let them walk and just try to find a better place in their desired geography. It would come with a risk of having exactly the same thing happen at exactly the same stage of the sale — and it would come with the chance that somebody would pay more.
But we really liked the place we were trying to buy and so we were pressed for time. Fuming, we pulled out calculators and looked at the two deals to figure out what we could reasonably afford to do. We dropped our asking price by 1 percent, guessing they'd take it for the above reasons and knowing it wasn't worth it for us if they didn't anyway.
They did. It had taken some of the wind out of our sails, but we were still on the track to selling the condo and getting the home we wanted.
We paid for the small fixes and made it to the closing date. I took off from work to go sign a bunch of documents and sell the place, which was far more anticlimactic than signing a bunch of documents to buy a place. The first home I'd owned was no longer in my possession.
Why wasn't I more excited?
Maybe because the work was only half done…
Next up: Now, let's get the buying taken care of

Ew. Download.com is making users download new software through a proprietary installer that also installs a bunch of third-party programs, ExtremeTech reports. This is pretty gross and dishonest. But really, does Download.com even matter anymore?
As much as Apple wants to consolidate all software in christendom under one brushed aluminium dome, web download portals like Download.com don't really make sense anymore. They were great! Back when dialup speeds hobbled our ability to scour and a good mirror wasn't always a given, riding a portal's fat pipe was a godsend. But speed's precluded the need to rely on one site for your software — you can quickly comparison shop, and even a relatively slow connection is still pretty fast for program downloading.
Maybe Download.com realises this, and maybe that's why they're wrapping their wares in money-earning junk. [ExtremeTech]

From the opening to the closing ceremonies there will be much to talk about and not all of it will be about the athletes. Symbolism is abundant and much of it is in-your-face. Perhaps it is all to keep us spinning our wheels looking for hidden meanings.
I'd say it has crossed all of our minds that the Games provide a very good distraction from something that could happen elsewhere. Something that fits an agenda.
As Peter Chamberlin says,
"The American-Zionist government used the previous Chinese Olympics in 2008 as cover for the Georgia-Russia war. What will they attempt this time around?"
Let's see, we've an old cookbook full of recipes here and it looks like this cake has been in the oven for a long time.
In order to distract people who may be too troublesome from discussions of questions of the political we are now putting forward what we allege to be new questions of the political, namely, questions of industry. In this sphere let them discuss themselves silly! The masses are agreed to remain inactive, to take a rest from what they suppose to be political only on condition of being found new employments, in which we are prescribing them something that looks like the same political object. In order that the masses themselves may not guess what they are about WE FURTHER DISTRACT THEM WITH AMUSEMENTS, GAMES, PASTIMES, PASSIONS, PEOPLE'S PALACES .... SOON WE SHALL BEGIN THROUGH THE PRESS TO PROPOSE COMPETITIONS IN ART, IN SPORT IN ALL KINDS: these interests will finally distract their minds from questions in which we should find ourselves compelled to oppose them. Growing more and more disaccustomed to reflect and form any opinions of their own, people will begin to talk in the same tone as we because we alone shall be offering them new directions for thought ... of course through such persons as will not be suspected of solidarity with us.

5 Facts About Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner
With breaking news almost every hour, it can be a bit difficult to keep up with current events. The recent political climate is a bit jarring, to say the least, and it's important to know the major players.
You've probably heard a lot about Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. As much as we heard about the husband and wife duo a few years ago, there is little general info about them.
Actually, it was only at the beginning of this week that the public even heard Jared Kushner speak.
Here are some quick facts about Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner you should know.
5 Facts About Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner
1. Kushner Controversy
You may be familiar with dozens of ongoing investigations. Even Jared Kushner himself is currently under investigation.
The essence of this investigation is one major issue: Russia.
The allegations indicate that some cabinet members – including Kushner – have contacts with Russian figures.
The evidence seems to accumulate that Kushner reportedly requested a "backdoor communication" with Russia.
There is also an investigation into Kushner's financial affairs with Russia.
2. Their Friends Define Them
Believe it or not, it turns out that Donald Trump indirectly introduced the couple.
At an early age, Kushner runs his family business after his father's indictment. He started working with real estate authorities in New York, including the current POTUS.
Soon afterwards their friend got the idea. The couple was formed under the pretext of a business deal, but friends knew they would do it romantically.
3. They are both the toughest involved in the 2016 Campaign Season
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are consistently present in the Trump campaign.
Ivanka, in fact, often took part in interviews and public events to speak on behalf of her father. His role is largely a spokesperson or substitute.
Kushner, on the other hand, works behind the scenes, even writing op-eds to defend his father-in-law. It was reported that Trump often went to Kushner for advice, to the extent that he might have helped choose Pence as VP.
4. Both Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are Current Cabinet Members
However, the job does not stop on the campaign trail. After the election, the couple packed up their belongings and headed for Washington.
Ivanka currently serves as her father's assistant and much of her work still involves publicly attended meetings.
Recently, Ivanka met with German Prime Minister, Angela Merkel. Both discuss the importance of women's contribution to science.
Kushner is a senior adviser and continues to assist President Trump day after day. He has permission to attend daily meetings, and often tells presidential choices.
5. They Have 3 Children Together
No matter what your political beliefs, it is clear that Ivanka and Jared are really in love.
The couple has 3 small children together:
Arabella is 5 years old, Joseph is 3 years old, and newborn baby, Theodore.
They also expressed an interest in expanding their family in the future.

I want to adapt a lensboard from each of my cameras to take a smaller lensboard, so I can use my lenses on all my cameras. I am looking for the smaller lenboard that I mount my lenses to. This lensboard should be about 110mm square or less. It should also have a light trap in the back that will allow lenses with big rear elements to clear when I put the lensboard on the adapter board. For example, the Technika lensboards are good because they are small, but their circular light trap at the back of the board is too small. Lenses with large rear elements will not clear. Lensboards I am thinking of using include Canham, Arca Swiss 110mm, and Calumet 400 Series 4x4 . Do you have any suggestions?

Nattefrost Music (CD/DDL 45:45) ****½
(Berlin School)
Nattefrost is a worthy representative of Scandinavian. Each album, set apart Futurized, is inspired by the tales and legends of this immense territory which was the cradle of the mythical Vikings. "Homeland" is no exception! Leaving this very sci-fi approach of Futurized, Bjorn Jeppesen returns to his first loves by signing an album which is a delicious fusion between the symphonic and the filmic approach, "At War", that were on From Distant Times and his usual electronic hymns, "Divine Light", which had at once caught the attention and made the delights of his first albums. The result is surprising and indeed very charming. In fact the electronic bard from Copenhagen presents here his most beautiful album to date. From the first minute of "The Golden Age" till the last seconds of "Homeland", Nattefrost establishes a crescendo which gives shivers. As much as in the emotions that in the spine. It's one of 2014 jewels which has nearly passed under my nose, under the radar of EM. Like almost everywhere on the music planet, Nattefrost, who is very popular in his own Danemark, presented "Homeland" in a limited edition of 500 albums in 180 gram vinyl, produced by the Sireena Records label. Sold out in this format, "Homeland" re-appears in the form of factory pressed CD on the Nattefrost label.
The cold winds from the Scandinavian plains sweep the horizons of "The Golden Age", blowing some thick clouds of rock dusts which fragment the evanescent harmonies of the undulatory synth lines. Short but effective, "The Golden Age" spreads the dramatic elements of "Homeland" with some dark and resonant chords which leave an imprint of mystery. Hardly longer, "Dance of the Elves" goes deep to the bottom of our eardrums with some superb melodious arpeggios which draw the lines of a melody, as virginal as devilish, where every note which fall is dancing with doubtful shadows and with linear pulsations of which the fast beatings lay down all the same a structure of ambient rhythm. The balance between the light and the darkness, the warmth and the cold, is striking of reality. Quite slowly and innocently the charms of "Homeland" spread their influences. Strange black breaths inject a foggy mood. They accompany the deep movement of "Norse"' undulatory pulsations. The structure, with a melody which makes twinkling its arpeggios resounding of transparency, and the furtive approach of a rhythm drummed by bass sequences, like an accelerated war march, borrows a bit here the model of "Dance of the Elves", but in a clearly more elaborate context and with a structure of rhythm which offers beautiful oscillations filled of variances. The race ends in a very cinematographic ambience with a long ambiospherical passage which truncates the last 3 minutes of a rhythm hypnotizing like a tribal feast which precedes a war. The nuances in "Norse" are astonishing and testify of this maturity which has seized the signature of Bjorn Jeppesen since From Distant Times with Matzumi. Each album of Nattefrost brings its catchy track. We could have thought of "Norse" or the babylonnesque "At War". But no, the award goes to "Divine Light" and to its very lively pace which first and before all has to get out from a magma of synth lines among which the entanglements as much embroiled as the gurgling tones are clubbed by the rollings of the timpani percussions. The combustion of this static movement spits some arcs of fires of which the radiations forge the bed of a rhythm that bass sequences are leading it away from its static environment in order to lay a fluid rhythm which gallops in the knocks of very lively percussions. From melodic IDM, the rhythm of "Divine Light" offers itself some harmonious fineries with lines of arpeggios which are parading or still which humming in banks of ethereal mist and ambiospherical elements, giving to this track an attractive oniric depth. This is going to become one of the good music piece in Bjorn Jeppesen's repertoire. "At War" is titanic. Lively and heavy, it's intensely orchestral. And the illusion to see an army of vile gnomes crossing the fields of our visions is absolutely superb. The rollings of timpani, the lamentations of the defeated, the philharmonic envelopes and the moaning noises of war beasts are created with an extreme precision. We feel the intensity, the drama in this Vangelis' kind of track
With the title-track, Nattefrost goes out of his comfort zone by offering a long musical river of about twenty minutes, a bet that he last attempted in 2004 with The Road to Asgard. "Homeland" offers a beautiful evolution as well as subtle variances in tones and harmonious colors tinted of dramatic effects. The cinematic ambiances are always present with waves and winds which seem to blow on a field of a battle which knew its tragic end on the edges of a Scandinavian coastline. Touching effects punctuate this introduction with dark winds, knocks of percussions and electronic chirpings. A rhythm rises. Arched on bass sequences, it vacillates such as a lost soul before hanging onto a structure solidified by these percussions whose so different tones are a big part of the wealth of "Homeland". The synth throws fragments of harmonies, as evanescent as unfinished, while the rhythm of "Homeland" follows a more steady course. It's tinted of organic perfumes and of iridescent sequences which dance with their doubles, so giving a structure of rhythm which bubbles in a multidimensional envelope and leaving to pulsations and to percussions the direction of a rhythm which is decorated of fine nuances in order to avoid the traps of the redundancy. And it's done with success! Very electronic, between Berlin School, as vintage as contemporary, ambient parts and a kind of progressive IDM, with impulses impregnated of restraints, the structure of "Homeland" offers variances and phases with jerks here and there which enhance the charm effect. The sequencing is very good with gaps in the structure which catch the interest of any fans of based sequence anthems. And when it becomes a bit sober, the ambiences, always rather dark, augment the effect of this long track of which the perpetual evolution towards more ambiospherical lands pass in the ear without a hitch. This is well done and this long track, decorated with beautiful arrangements and with new bounces, shows the control of Bjorn Jeppesen, both on his story and on the way he has put it into music. It concludes another very good album from Nattefrost. A surprising album, if we consider its very Berlin School approach soaked in this unique accessible side of Nattefrost. In fact, style Berlin School will never have been so accessible than with this "Homeland". Very commendable!

Break apart "Clover" into the little squares and start working the clay in your hand. Start with two or three pieces and keep adding squares until the entire block is workable in your hand. Shape it into a peapod shape by rolling it on a flat surface and flattening the two edges of the roll. Once the pod is shaped to your liking, place it on a hard surface and press the middle down softly to create a flat surface on the bottom of the pod.
Using your knife from your variety set, cut your peapod down the middle, but be careful not to cut it in half…a ½ inch slit will do you just fine. Carefully pry the pod open with your fingers and reshape to your liking. Set aside.
Break off half of your "Avocado" log and do the same as you did with the "Clover" clay. For best results, wash your hands between clay mixing to prevent colors from spreading. Once your Avocado clay has warmed up, use the rolling pin and roll it until it's about ½ inch thick and long enough to comfortably cover your pod. Place the Avocado sheet over the opening on your pod and press it into the hole you've created in the pod. Using your knife, remove the excess Avocado clay and use your fingers or the large ball roller to tuck the edge of the Avocado sheet into the peapod edge.
With the excess Avocado clay, roll a log about ¼ inch thin and long enough to go around the edge of the Avocado sheet. Wind the clay snake around the edge and gently push it down with the large ball roller or your finger.
Place the peapod in the palm of your hand and use the large ball roller to rub the fingerprints out of the clay. You can also give the pod as much texture as you'd like with this tool. Once the fingerprints have been removed and the pod is to your liking, set it aside.
Break off six squares of "Peapod" and separate them. Work each square individually to create three peas (two squares will give you one pea). Roll peas in the palm of your hand and place inside the peapod when you're done. Don't press them into the pod, they will stick to the pod and to each other while baking.
Once your peas are cozy in the pod, use the pointed needle tool to mark where you'd like the eyes of the peas to be by literally poking eye holes in each pea. Break off one square of "After Midnight" and create eyes by ripping off small pieces at a time and rolling them between your fingers to make small circles. Wash your hands after this step.
Finally, break off a square of "Blush" and roll it into a thin log. Cut the log into three ½ inch strips and, using a small ball roller, softly press the strips onto the peas to create a mouth.
- Bake your peas according to the package directions and be careful not to go over 30 minutes or else your clay will burn.
- Instead of using the ball rollers, use the back of a spoon to smooth surfaces of your clay. You can also use a clean pencil eraser to achieve the same effect.
- Instead of a knife, use your fingers, a butter knife, scissors, or a kabob stick to slice the clay. If you use utensils for clay projects, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, make sure you take extra care to wash them well after use.
- Instead of the acrylic roller, place your clay between two sheets of wax paper and use your kitchen roller or refrigerated biscuits to roll out your clay. Covering your clay with wax paper will help prevent clay from sneaking into your wooden roller.

- Clinic Fiv Madrid, Spain - 620 comments and 22,219 page views.
- IVF in Norway -- 122 comments and 12,431 page views.
If you were a patient seeking infertility treatment abroad what would influence your decision more....
- The accreditation status of the clinic?
- The qualifications of the doctor?
- The views of other patients?
I'm willing to bet that the views of other patients...."consumer opinion" would be the major influence on your decision. (Obviously, for IVF treatment, patients would also be looking at outcome data/fertilisation rates published by the clinic). This seems to be the conclusion reached by the respondents in the IMTJ Medical Tourism Climate Survey.
So...why hasn't the medical tourism sector bought into patient ratings and reviews?
At Treatment Abroad, we were the first to enable medical tourists to rate and review overseas hospitals and clinics. At Medical Tourism Ratings and Reviews, patients can score these clinics and post their comments about the service and treatment received. To enable this, we invest heavily in Bazaarvoice, the world leaders in online rating systems to manage our new service. They make sure that only valid reviews make it on to our medical tourism reviews site. The moderators are well educated, trained and tested to ensure only appropriate user-generated content gets posted. Nevertheless, we are disappointed in the adoption of this reviews system by our clients.
When we promote the reviews system direct to patients and people who have enquired about treatment abroad, we get excellent take up. Patients are keen to share their experiences and benefit from other patients' experiences. Similarly, some of our clients see the benefit of allowing patients to rate and review their services and actively encourage their past patients to visit the site and post a review. The system is free. It doesn't cost the client a penny extra to participate. But many of our clients are less enthusiastic about patient reviews.
Why is there reluctance to encourage patient reviews for medical tourism?
The most common objection from clients is that they are worried about negative reviews. What happens if a patient actually says something that they don't like?
Well, as all of the hotels and holiday providers on Trip Adviser know, a negative review may affect their business negatively. Or will it?
On Medical Tourism Ratings and Reviews, we publish negative patient reviews, as long as they are not profane or violate other rules of moderation, such as raising litigation or malpractice issues.
Negative patient reviews are valuable
Negative reviews are of value to the healthcare provider and to healthcare consumers. Negative reviews show credibility – if there are nothing but 5-star reviews for your services, healthcare consumers get suspicious about the authenticity of the content.
Negative reviews also give objective feedback and help healthcare providers uncover blind spots. Perhaps there was a breakdown in a process or poor communication with the patient, or some misinformation in the description of your services on your website. Direct feedback from your patients is the most transparent way to uncover these issues and get them solved quickly.
When we publish a negative review on Medical Tourism Ratings and Reviews, we give the client a chance to respond – to explain what went wrong and to say what they are doing to put things right. Negative reviews which we reject and do not publish (but we do pass to clients) are also incredibly valuable. When patients are upset with your service or their treatment, they sometimes get angry, which can cause them to violate the terms of our review system, use profanity, threaten legal action or go off on a tangent – all things that can lead us to reject a review.
Don't ignore negative patient reviews
It's important for healthcare providers not to ignore this information, because if you can uncover and solve a legitimate problem, and complete the circle, it makes it less likely that the patient will spread their rancour to blogs, forums, and other places where you are unable to see, control or address their comments.It's important for healthcare providers to review all negative content, so they can uncover service or system improvements to improve future patient interactions.
The message... it's time for medical tourism providers to start actively encouraging patients to rate and review their services and to start listening to what patients have to say. Accept that sometimes things do go wrong, that patients will be unhappy and will want to tell the world.
You may learn more from getting something wrong than you do from getting something right.

A recent comment on my blog from "BCHusband" prompted this post. A long time ago, I wrote about going through treatment for breast cancer alone. I didn't mean it literally — I meant without a man by my side in the more traditional role of husband. I noticed during that treatment, as I looked around from my perch, that having loving female and male friends was actually a surprising blessing and that many married people I had been envious of, were in fact, not as happy as I thought.
Anyway, some men wrote in about their experience and it caused a bit of controversy from readers who stood by their women and felt I had "dissed" them in some way. This was not my intent.
In this post, I'm setting out to do the opposite and honor all those amazing men who are there for their friends, girlfriends, sisters, daughters, moms, and wives during this scary time. I want to start with a note of gratitude to my own guy, who has been with me through the second bout with breast cancer (and a pregnancy and multiple surgeries). Luckily for him, he didn't know me during the worst part of my chemo treatment during 2002, when I was bald (I always think about what they say about never getting a second opportunity to make a first impression, and Mr. Clean was not a look I was proud of on me!).
One of the things that I am most grateful for is that he has never made me feel in any way less of a woman or less attractive — less anything for that matter. He treats me exactly the same as if I never had breast cancer. He sees me for me, and not me connected to the cancer. If I could choose how I would like anyone to view me, this is it.
He also understands that my body has gone through significant changes during two bouts of breast cancer and a pregnancy. He comes to doctors' appointments whenever I ask, allows me to make all my own treatment decisions, offers support when I want, and for me, most importantly, forgets that I had breast cancer in between.
While reading the recent comment from BC Husband, I burst into tears. He stood by his fiancee during her diagnosis (which happened during their engagement) and through seven years of marriage. While he's still very much in love with his wife, he writes, "I hate breast cancer and everything that it has taken away in our life!" I understand that. But I also understand that as a woman, I feel responsible for everything from the price of tea in China to global warming. So if my husband were sad or mad about the inability for us to reconnect post-breast cancer treatment, I would feel responsible for that too. I hope she knows he is mad at breast cancer, not HER!
All these tears reminded me that there is a healthy place to direct our anger or grief and it's outside the relationship. Inside the relationship, there is room for all the gratitude we feel for the people who love us, those who have cared for us in a way many of us could not have imagined. I know that prior to having breast cancer, I could never have told you what I needed. It took me a while to develop both the knowledge of what I wanted and the ability to ask for it — but these didn't come until way after my diagnosis.
The attention directed at men this week for Father's Day was a reminder to thank those who didn't run when the going got tough and stood by their women for all the good and the bad. Here's to you!

Antitrust Policy
The purpose of this policy is to describe the Antitrust and Competition Policy (Policy) of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). TIA and its members support effective competition and the many benefits it brings to consumers. The U.S. Government and governments around the world take steps to ensure the markets function properly by setting appropriate rules and regulations. TIA and its members support and want to comply fully with these rules and regulations.
The provisions in this Policy apply to all TIA activities of any nature, and to all participants in these activities, including TIA employees, TIA Board of Directors, TIA member representatives, guests, consultants and others. All participants in TIA activities are expected to be sensitive to and comply with this Policy, and to take steps to prevent noncompliance. A complementary policy regarding standards development by volunteers on TIA Engineering Committees can be found in the TIA Standards Legal Guides on the TIA website. By participating in TIA's activities, including activities undertaken by Engineering Committees, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not participate in TIA's activities.
Proper Activities or Conduct
Group activities of competitors are inherently suspect under the antitrust laws. Improper activities and conduct are described in the section below entitled Improper Activities or Conduct. Many activities among competitors, however, are both legal and beneficial to society and the industry. These activities typically undertaken by trade associations like TIA include but are not limited to networking, educational events designed to keep the public or industry informed about developments, government-industry conversations designed to inform the government, industry and public, and promotional programs to promote the industry as a whole.
Improper Activities or Conduct
Anticompetitive joint action is improper and prohibited under antitrust and competition laws. Participants in TIA activities should not discuss or exchange any information regarding the following, whether seriously or in jest:
Restraint of Trade Agreements, including the establishment of prices, production quotas, and similar restraints on competition.
Prices or Costs, including company prices or costs, price changes, price differentials, pricing patterns or policies, terms and conditions of sale affecting price such as discounts, allowances, credit terms, warranties, rebates, special financing, or indemnification agreements. Do not discuss industry pricing policies, price levels, price changes, pricing procedures, profit margins or other data that bear on price. Do not discuss company plans concerning the design, production, distribution or marketing of particular products or product features, including possible or proposed customer territories. Agreements with competitors (1) to control or limit production, (2) restrict or allocate exports or imports, (3) control or limit product quality or research, or (4) allocate sales according to customers, territories or products.
Marketing Procedures or Policies, including territorial restrictions, allocations of customers, restrictions on types of products or any other kind of market division. Companies should not exchange information relating to individual company costs of production or distribution and any formulas for computing such costs. Agreements among competitors to boycott certain suppliers, customers or competitors are per se unlawful. In the trade association context, restrictions on membership and participation in association activities, disciplinary proceedings and standard-setting activities generate most boycott issues. In particular, TIA members should not engage in any discussion about whether to refuse to do business with any other entity or whether to limit or terminate any existing relationship.
NOTE: This list is not exhaustive, and understanding and acting in compliance with U.S. and foreign antitrust laws sometimes can be difficult. If you have any questions about the propriety of TIA activities or discussions in a meeting, you are encouraged to contact TIA counsel or your company's legal counsel. You should object to improper discussions, remove yourself from the discussion and/or meeting, and immediately notify a TIA staff member. Violations of antitrust laws can result in criminal and civil penalties and liability for the companies and individuals involved.

Whenever possible, the laboratory experiments for each chemistry course are scheduled to coincide with topics covered and discussed in lecture. The completion of all laboratory experiments is required for a passing grade in a chemistry course! You will receive a grade of F for the course if you do not complete all the labs!
1. Lab make-ups are allowed only with significant extenuating circumstances – for example, a documented illness.
2. Make-ups must be scheduled within two weeks of the date of the original missed lab period. Requests for lab make-ups after that will only be honored in cases of severe and proven conditions that prevented the timely make-up.
3. Permission is required from the student's regular lab instructor, and the lab instructor of the period planned for the make-up. If these are not available, the permission of the lab supervisor or night lab assistant may be obtained.
4. A make-up scheduling card must be filled out and given to the lab assistant at least two days in advance of the day you plan to make up the lab. Students missing a scheduled make-up without calling to cancel may be denied the right to reschedule ( (845) 431-8542 or (845) 431-8539 ).
5. Select a time to make-up the missed lab only from the times available on the schedule posted on the laboratory or stockroom door. Note: Instructors may refuse to allow a lab make-up during their lab period. Check with the teaching lab assistants.
6. The Lab Staff reserves the right to hold each student to the established limit of one lab make-up per semester.

This Hiring Authorities section covers various topics dealing with Federal employment. Topics covered in this section will describe the competitive hiring process; hiring authorities available to agencies to hire veterans, students, interns; and information for current and former Federal employees such as reinstatement, transfer. Each topic includes references to the various applicable laws, regulations, and guidance.
To begin, the Federal Government consists of three types of services, the Competitive Service, the Excepted Service, and the Senior Executive Service. The competitive service consists of all civil service positions in the executive branch of the Federal Government with some exceptions. The exceptions are defined in section 2102 of title 5, United States Code (5 U.S.C. 2102).
In the competitive service, individuals must go through a competitive hiring process (i.e., competitive examining) before being appointed which is open to all applicants. This process may consist of a written test, an evaluation of the individual's education and experience, and/or an evaluation of other attributes necessary for successful performance in the position to be filled.
Appointments in the Excepted Service are civil service appointments within the Federal Government that do not confer competitive status. There are a number of ways to be appointed into the excepted service such as appointed under an authority defined by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) as excepted (e.g., Veterans Recruitment Appointment) or being appointed to a position defined by OPM as excepted (e.g., Attorneys). More information can be found about excepted service in 5 U.S.C. 2103 and parts 213 and 302 of title 5 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
The Senior Executive Service (SES) is comprised of the men and women charged with leading the continuing transformation of government. These leaders possess well-honed executive skills and share a broad perspective of government and a public service commitment which is grounded in the Constitution. The keystone of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, the SES was designed to be a corps of executives selected for their leadership qualifications.
Employment Policy is primarily for Human Resources Practitioners who seek information about all aspects of the Federal recruiting and staffing process. Job applicants and employees who have personal questions about hiring procedures or eligibility for specific occupations should contact the Human Resources Office at the agency where you are seeking employment.
Agencies may use a variety of appointing authorities to hire job applicants. This section describes the types of appointments available, including special appointments for targeting veterans.
This section describes methods and techniques which can help identify the best qualified candidates for your jobs.
This section contains regulatory guidance for hiring job applicants under the competitive examining and hiring process.
Back to Top
This section contains the laws and regulatory guidance that serve as the foundation for the competitive hiring process and procedures.
The End to End Hiring Roadmap describes how to integrate and streamline the five components of Federal hiring-workforce planning, recruitment, hiring process, security and suitability and orientation-and establishes Governmentwide measures for the effectiveness of Federal hiring.
Agencies should rely on the Roadmap to transform competitive hiring for external applicants into a strategic relationship between hiring managers and human capital officials to attract, hire and retain top talent.
This section describes opportunities to work in the private sector, international organizations, or state and local governments on a short-term basis through formal exchange programs.
Go to the Classification and Qualification website for information that is used to determine the pay plan, series, title, and grade; general guidance and regulations, including the qualification standards for white collar and blue collar (labor and trades occupations).
Index for the Delegated Examining Operations Handbook; refer to Chapter 2, Section A for a review of hiring flexibilities.
Laws and regulatory information about medical standards, physical requirements, medical programs, and consideration of applicants with disabilities (including disabled veterans).
This section contains recently issued regulations and policy memoranda.
This section contains copies of the annual Federal Equal Opportunity Recruitment Program (FEORP)and the Hispanic Employment in the Federal Government reports from the year 2000 to the present.
This section provides information to assist agencies with major reorganizations, downsizing, and transitioning of the work force.
This section describes various programs that facilitate the recruitment of students and other targeted populations.
This VetGuide conveniently summarizes in one place the many laws and regulations that affect the employment of veterans in the Federal Government

Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens Legacy Society
The Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens Legacy Society has been created to honor the contributions of friends of the Zoo who have expressed their commitment by including the Zoo in their estate plans. Legacy Society donors ensure that Jacksonville will have a vibrant zoo for generations to come. Such gifts provide future support guaranteeing that our mission of caring for diverse animal populations, educating the public about wildlife and the need for conservation continues for future generations. We are delighted to honor this growing Society of donors.
There are several ways to give, from a simple specific dollar amount or perhaps other ways could be more appropriate in your circumstances:
- a percentage of your estate
- a specific asset
- retirement plan assets
- designate the Zoo as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
The Zoo's volunteer Planned Giving Committee acts as a resource to Zoo staff to answer any questions donors may have about establishing planned gifts for the Zoo. Members include trusted professionals such as estate attorneys, financial planners, CPA's and wealth management professionals.
If you would like to notify the Zoo of your estate plans and become a member of the JZG Legacy Society or need additional information about creating a gift for the Zoo in your will, please contact Nikki Smith in the Development Department, 904-757-3937 or firstname.lastname@example.com
The legal name of the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens is the Jacksonville Zoological Society.
