Can I Get My Driver's License Back?
For DUI drivers, license restoration in Michigan is not impossible. To restore your driver's license in Michigan, you will need to prove by clear and convincing evidence that any substance abuse/dependency problem is under control and likely to remain under control; that there is a low or minimal risk of repeating previous abusive behavior related to alcohol or drugs; that there is a low or minimal risk of driving while impaired or intoxicated; and that the petitioner has maintained a period of abstinence consistent for at least one year. Reinstating a driver's license in Michigan will require you to seek a hearing at the Driver Assessment and Appeal Division (DAAD). Usually you are only allowed one hearing per year — meaning that how you use your time and present your evidence at the hearing are important, and choosing a skilled and experienced attorney to assist you in that endeavor is equally important.

The first day of school in Russia
September 1 is always the day kids start school in Russia, regardless of whether it's a weekend or not.
The first day of school is a huge deal in Russia, but in a different way than in America. In America, it's more about "oh, thank God the kids are finally out of the house." It's taking pictures of little kids near the front door with backpacks. It's about snacks and afterschool activities and the theater of back to school,everything except the actual school part.
In Russia, there is a huge focus, instead, on the significance and responsibility of learning. A lot of it can be artificial at times, but if there was one good thing the Soviet Union did, it was to instill 99% literacy and a huge respect for knowledge and teachers which I don't think is present in the U.S.
In Russia on the first day of school, every kid is dressed up to the nines and brings in flowers for the teachers. The girls all wear frilly bows. There is something about pictures September 1 that makes me have hope for humanity again. And that's saying a lot, because you know how much I love Ze Mozerland.
Since the Internet has made the world a lot smaller, a lot of people have posted pictures of their kids on September 1 on Instagram, where I've scraped them into my own little creepy collection.

Central European Distribution Corp. (CEDC), Poland's second-biggest vodka maker, rose the most since the end of January in New York after a shareholder reduced his stake and the company announced a new debt swap offer.
CEDC, as the maker of the Bols, Zubrowka and Zelyonaya Marka brands is known, surged 13 percent to 45 U.S. cents by the close of trading in New York, trimming this year's tumble to 79 percent. Trading volume was almost four times the average of the past tree months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The new offer reflects terms agreed by CEDC's biggest shareholder Roust Trading Ltd. and a steering committee of holders of 30 percent of the company's 2016 notes, according to a statement dated March 8. The plan would give Roust 85 percent of CEDC equity and require other holdings to be reduced to 5 percent. Investor Mark Kaufman, who backed another restructuring plan and has criticized CEDC management, sold about 3.5 million shares last week, cutting his stake to below 5 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and a filing.
"The company will now have a better chance to survive as Mr. Kaufman is selling shares," Krzysztof Kuper, an analyst at Ipopema Securities SA (IPE) who rates CEDC's U.S. stock hold, said by phone from Warsaw. "Chances for a successful debt restructuring are now higher."
CEDC, based in Warsaw, erased about 50 percent of its market value in 2012 amid slumping sales, rising liabilities and management transitions. Revenue fell 8.7 percent in the third quarter to $191.3 million, after shrinking in the previous two quarters, data collated by Bloomberg show. Chief Executive Officer William Carey stepped down in July.
The restructuring aims to reduce CEDC's debt by as much as $635 million. The company's shares in Warsaw ended the day 5.8 percent higher at 1.65 zloty, or 52 cents

This morning was her first day of ballet. For months, she has been asking when she starts ballet, practicing her moves and dancing for anyone who will pay attention. But when the day finally arrived, the morning wound up in a tired-from-a-long-weekend-of-traveling-running-late-and-momma-wouldn't-let-her-get-her-pink-kitty-cat-cue-the-tears-and-dramatic-sobs-in-the-backseat kind of a scene. We literally ran into the building (this would be a good time to mention I absolutely hate being late) with her eyes still red. She walked over to the group with her head down, and while all the other girls lifted their arms and smiled and danced around like little pink puffs of cotton candy, my girl, in her chosen black leotard and black slippers, looked down at the ground.
I reluctantly left the room to join the other waiting moms in the parents' room. While I sat there, I could feel insecurity wrap its cold, bony fingers around me. The other moms in their cute and trendy "just threw it on" athletic wear were discussing the woes of being room mom and which school was the best. None of them had been late. None of their girls had red-rimmed eyelids. Why couldn't I just have my act together?
A few minutes later, Charlotte and I got up to take a peek through the one-way mirrored door, and I saw Lydi dancing her little heart out. I smiled, grateful she seemed to be in a much better mood. Then I realized, she was dancing all right but in the opposite direction and not at all in the timing of the rest of the group. I squeezed Lottie and laughed, whispering to her, "We dance to a different beat, don't we, girl?"
Part of me desperately wants to fit in, to be be accepted, to be liked. But another part of me, the part I've buried for a long time, is bubbling up. This part of my heart is trying really hard to remember it's okay if everyone doesn't like everything I do. And real life isn't a Norman Rockwell painting. It's a lot messier but a lot more beautiful. This part of my heart needs a lot of pep talks and a lot of courage. This part of my heart dares to dance like my little ballerina, wild and free and a bit off-beat.

Alberta Transportation is responsible for the safety of Albertans on the provincial road network with an overarching goal to reduce the amount of fatalities and serious injuries on our highways.
Alberta Environmental and Dangerous Goods Emergencies (EDGE)
Alberta EDGE is a 24-hour centre that supplies technical information to industry, the public and enforcement officials about the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations and all associated standards. They are also the emergency response centre for reporting releases or anticipated releases of dangerous goods during any aspect of transport as outlined in the Regulations.
In addition, Alberta Transportation has agreements with Environment and Parks (AEP) and Alberta Energy Regulator (AER), serving as a contact point for contraventions, spills, and complaints.
Whether a release or emission originated from the oil, gas, chemical, or manufacturing industry, Albertans can feel assured that the correct departments are informed of the situation immediately and actions are taken to minimize any impact on the public, the environment or public infrastructure.
Dangerous goods
Alberta Transportation is the only jurisdiction in Canada that has dually appointed Provincial and Federal Dangerous Goods Inspectors that inspect dangerous goods facilities, monitor highway tank facilities and respond to incidents involving dangerous goods.
The Safety and Compliance Services Branch is responsible for the compliance and enforcement of the Provincial Dangerous Goods Transportation and Handling Act and Dangerous Goods Transportation and Handling Regulation as well as the Federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulation which has been adopted by Alberta. Both regulations set safety standards and shipping requirements for thousands of dangerous goods, in addition to providing a means of communicating the nature and level of danger associated with various chemicals and other products.
The Dangerous Goods and Rail Safety (DGRS) Section has seven Dangerous Goods Inspectors located throughout the Province and two Rail Safety Officers in Edmonton. The DGRS Section also relies on designated On-Highway Inspectors who belong to various enforcement agencies such as the RCMP, Municipal Police, and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement. The DGRS Section investigates issues of non-compliance or suspected incidents of non-compliance with individuals, facilities, and carriers who handle, transport or offer to transport dangerous goods that are in non-compliance with the legislation and its adopted standards. This includes facilities that manufacture, modify, assemble, repair, inspect, and test means of containment that are used for the transportation of dangerous goods.
Close industry associations and local company relations enable the DGRS Section to have in-depth knowledge and understanding of provincial issues and interests involving dangerous goods and rail safety.

Alberta has approximately 310 industrial railways, five heritage railways, and two public railways which are provincially regulated. Railways are an integral part of the province's transportation system facilitating the movement of 70 million tons of goods within the province each year. This includes petroleum, forest and agriculture products as well as other manufactured and consumer products.
Provincially regulated railways operate in accordance with the Railway (Alberta) Act. The Safety and Compliance Services Branch of Alberta Transportation is responsible for administering the Act and associated rules, regulations and standards.

Learn about our editorial policy Jennifer White Medically reviewed by Medically reviewed by Joel Forman, MD on August 05, 2016 Joel Forman, MD, is a board-certified pediatrician and associate professor of pediatrics, environmental medicine, and public health at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Learn about our Medical Review Board Joel Forman, MD Updated on January 17, 2020 Tara Moore/Taxi/Getty Images More in Babies Breastfeeding As Baby Grows Challenges Pumping & Storing For Mom Baby's First Year Growth & Development Health & Safety Everyday Care Formula Baby Food Preemies Postpartum Care Gear and Products View All If you have noticed that after finding a comfortable rhythm for your baby's eating patterns, your baby suddenly seems to be hungry all the time, she might be going through a growth spurt. Growth spurts last for a few days, and babies are often hungry, sleepy, and fussy during that time, but shouldn't have signs of illness such as fevers or vomiting. Periodic growth spurts are perfectly normal for babies, and that is the most likely explanation for what appears to be a ravenous baby. As new parents, when your baby becomes extra hungry, you might start to wonder if you are feeding your baby enough, if mommy is making enough breastmilk, or if your baby needs to start solids. Your Baby's Growth Spurt A baby growth spurt is a sudden burst in your infant's growth that is accompanied by a brief period of increased feeding. Sometimes, it may seem like your baby outgrew his cute little sleeper overnight--and that may be because he actually did. Growth spurts generally last no more than two to three days. In addition to eating non-stop, your baby might seem to be fussier than normal, waking up more frequently from naps or from nighttime sleep. So the few days of a growth spurt can certainly feel like a never-ending feeding cycle during the hunger stretch. What to Do During a Baby's Growth Spurt The best thing you can do during a growth spurt is to increase your baby's feedings. During the newborn period, it is best to feed your little one through these spurts if he is hungry. If your baby is older than 6 months, you may want to talk to your pediatrician about how to handle frequent night waking. You may not need to feed your older baby frequently during the night if your baby has had consistent weight gain. If you are breastfeeding, growth spurts will help increase your milk supply. So you don't need to give up on nursing during these periods if you are dedicated to breastfeeding your baby. When Growth Spurts Happen Breastfeeding mothers may notice a few intense feeding patterns in the early weeks. These are known as cluster feedings, and they are important in establishing your milk supply and helping your baby gain weight. In your baby's first year, it is possible that you will see about five growth spurts, usually around:6 weeks8 weeks3 months6 months9 months These are typical ages when growth spurts occur, but all babies grow and develop uniquely. So don't necessarily expect that a growth spurt will happen exactly on the predicted timeline. When to Worry If you still have the nagging sense of worry that your baby is not getting enough to eat or that something is wrong with your milk production, there are some things you can look for. Keep an eye on diaper count. What goes in must come out! After your baby is older than 5 days old, you should expect 5 to 6 soaking diapers a day. If your baby is pooping enough, this is a good sign that she is getting enough to eat. You can also do a weight check. These can often be done as a quick nurse's visit to see if the numbers on the scale are going up, which is a good sign that your baby is growing. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

|PRD Class
|Families List Genes List
|Pax4/6 Family
The Pax4/6 genes, also known as Pax group IV, encodes proteins with a PRD domain and a complete PRD-type homeodomain. There are two genes in human, one in amphioxus and two clear examples in Drosophila (ey, toe). There are two additional related genes in Drosophila with a partial Pax domain which may be part of this gene family (eyg, toy); these are included here.
There is some confusion as to whether the Pax4/6 gene family this should be split into two gene families (Pax4 and Pax6), because invertebrate homologues generally group with PAX6 in phylogenetic analyses and not as an outgroup. However, this could be explained by extreme divergence of PAX4 causing violation of assumptions made in phylogenetic analysis.

"What's needed are spectrum auctions, and it would be good to do that in bands which are consistent with deployments happening in the rest of the world," Durga Malladi, senior vice president, Engineering & GM (4G/5G), at the company's R&D division, Qualcomm Technologies.
Qualcomm sees "a very promising start" as India prepares to ring in this ultra-fast wireless technology, especially since mid-band (spectrum) in 3.5 GHz along with millimetre (wave) airwaves in the 26 GHz band are under consideration for sale in India, Malladi said.
He was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the company launching its first chipset - Snapdragon 855 - supporting 5G technology.
The government has said the 5G spectrum will be allocated in the second half of 2019. Among local telecom operators, Reliance Jio Infocomm is seeking an early auction of the airwaves, while Bharti Airtel wants it in late 2019 and Vodafone Idea the following year.
Malladi said Qualcomm has been "quite active in terms of engaging with India's telecom ministry and the sector regulator and in educating folks on what can be done on the 5G front.
"Keep in mind that among all the devices we are partnering with, quite a few of those are pretty popular in India. These devices will be there with 5G," he said.
Qualcomm's optimism about India's initial 5G overtures comes after a high-level panel suggested that the government announce a 5G spectrum allocation policy by end of this year, and recommended earmarking additional airwave bands for supporting the next-gen technology which is tipped to have an economic impact upwards of $1 trillion.
The high-level 5G Forum, set up by the government, has also suggested that most guidelines on regulatory matters be promulgated by March 2019 to facilitate early 5G deployments.
Telecom minister Manoj Sinha has repeatedly said that "India cannot afford to miss the 5G bus since the superfast wireless broadband technology is slated to ring in a rapid transformation in agriculture, manufacturing and social sectors where India can emerge as a global technology innovator."
The Qualcomm executive said the challenges that are present in India on a 5G ecosystem aren't very different from those elsewhere in the world. He also reiterated that the advent of 5G technologies would not signal the end of 4G LTE services.
( The reporter is in Hawaii at the invitation of Qualcomm to cover the company's annual tech conference).

Klas Östergren: The Hurricane Party
The Hurricane Party
Klas Östergren
Canongate Books
22 September 2009
$28.00 in Canada
Hanck Orn's son is dead. When they come to the door they tell him it was a heart attack, but he knows they're lying. So he travels to the outermost reaches of the land to find out what really happened. When he lands on the island he's met by a young woman, hair streaked with blood, raving like a lunatic. She's one of the sisters who tell him the story of how his son died in the great hall of the Clan, the Norse gods, who were holding a party. But the festivities soon got out of hand, the guests began to argue with one another, and the mischievous shapeshifter Loki dealt a deadly blow.
Set in a dystopian future that recalls Orwell and Zamyatin, Klas Östergren has weaved a dizzying story of magnificent scope and foul play. Moving from the golden halls to the depths of the underworld, it is about one man's search for justice for his son in a world on the brink. A place where true love is so strong it can bring about the end of time.

"…The mighty one has done great things for me…" (Luke 1:49)
I smiled and I sighed.
I couldn't help doing so as I watched my kids frolicked in the cool waters of Caylabne Resort in Cavite a few days ago during our annual family vacation. Their eyes glistened with joy while my eyes moistened with gratitude. And as they immersed themselves in childhood play, I in turn, immersed myself in deep prayer.
"God," I said "I am profoundly grateful for everything. You have indeed filled my cup to overflowing. You have given me a beautiful family. A loving wife. Healthy children. A supportive Christian community. A thriving preaching ministry. Wonderful Christian brethren. Loving friends. Food, clothing, shelter. And most of all, ongoing daily mercy for all my faults."
And as I went on with my litany of undeserved blessings, I found myself joining Mother Mary in her "Magnificat" when she sang:
"…The mighty one has done great things for me…" (Luke 1:49)
Don't get me wrong. My life isn't perfect. But I have to admit, it is undoubtedly blessed.
No, my health isn't perfect. I suffer from occasional vertigo when stressed. My cholesterol count is also not very promising. I have a bad knee and I snore when I sleep. But God has made everything bearable for me (and for my wife as she has to put up with my snoring!) to carry on with my mission and enjoy life in the process.
I am not yet considered successful in my career, both as a lawyer and as a preacher. But God has made it clear to me with occasional reminders that I am on the right path. And the reminders have come in different forms…a young lawyer approaching me with gratitude for the "life-changing" seminar I just gave…a text message telling me how my preaching has transformed a person's perspective of his life…an email thanking me for saving the desperate life of another person through my books. With my puny efforts, God has indeed produced colossal results.
I am not rich. I still have bills to pay and obligations to meet. But I have more than enough of what my family needs. Take that family vacation last week, for example. Considering my not-so-spectacular monthly income, who could imagine a preacher's family of five taking on a three-day family vacation free of charge in plush Caylabne Resort?
Having said all these, the more I feel humbled by the overwhelming love of my God for me. I am a sinner saved. I am a convict acquitted. I am a pauper blessed.
Indeed, the Mighty One has done great things for me!

Is there any more exhilarating rush than ploughing your Warthog through wave after wave of Covenant Grunts while your friend goes to town with the onboard autocannon? There is, now that Israel Military Industries has gone ahead and built a real one.
The CombatGuard is an armoured 4x4 sitting atop a monster truck suspension (and 54 inch rims) that, like the fictional M12, can be adapted to a number of combat scenarios. Its passenger compartment can accommodate up to eight fully-equipped soldiers or be converted into an all-terrain medivac, anti-aircraft platform, fast attack vehicle, or light reconnaissance vehicle.
The 300 hp, 6.5 litre turbo diesel propels it to 75 mph off road and a staggering 95 mph on asphalt with a a 500 mile combat radius while its oversized tires and matching suspension allow it to boulder over 70 degree inclines. Its wraparound ballistic armour also offers protection from small arms fire, armour-piercing rifle rounds, even IEDs and landmines.
More impressive is the vehicle's onboard Bright Arrow automated protection system. As General Dynamics' website explains,
Bright Arrow utilises a sensor suite and remote fire capability to rapidly detect, engage and overmatch threats typically encountered during military missions. The sensor suite provides robust detection capability of anti-tank threats and small arms bursts. The soft kill layer is based on a directional electro-optical jammer to engage a threat's tracking and sensing behaviour.
The interceptor-based hard kill layer protects against close-range anti-tank rockets and guided missiles by physically destroying or deflecting the threat a safe distance from the defended platform. The blast interceptor effectively destroys or deflects an incoming threat with minimal fragmentation, minimising collateral damage or injury to nearby personnel.
The Israeli military is rumoured to be interested in procuring a number of these vehicles in the near term. Hopefully they'll find a place in the US arsenal as well. [PopSci - General Dynamics]

AMC-109 State of the art Coupling to Surfaces
Problems caused by, or connected with, microbial colonization of materials necessitates innovative solutions that address direct modifications of the surfaces to create antimicrobial surfaces that avoid microbial settlement.
AMC-109 can be attached to a surface through a cycloaddition ("Click") reaction, a technology that can be performed without harming the solid support or the peptide, and is thus capable of adding the peptide in a single step.
This technology can cover all shapes of solid materials. It may be surfaces, fibers, tubes, beads, or any other conceivable surface. Furthermore, it covers all solid supports, irrespective of materials.
Amicoat holds the patent for this technology.
In principle, several surfaces can be compatible with our technology, such as:
- Nanoparticles of gold and silver
- Silicon and glass
- Acrylates
- Polystyrene
- Cellulose
- Parylene X
- Polyurethanes

As the Pope prepares to step down this week, the Catholic Church is left scrambling to figure out who will succeed Pope Benedict XVI. And, though in this case, it's an unexpected retirement leaving a leadership void to be filled, for many small businesses, it's the death of a business owner than can leave a business in shambles.
In fact, new research finds that many businesses suffer long-lasting and significant negative impacts following the death of their founders.
The study revealed that the death of a founding entrepreneur wipes out on average 60 percent of a firm's sales and cuts jobs by roughly 17 percent. In addition, companies where the entrepreneur dies have 20 percent lower survival rates two years after the death, compared to similar firms where the entrepreneur is still alive.
Sascha Becker, a co-author of the study, said the research shows that founders are the glue that helps hold businesses together.
"We expected businesses that experienced the death of a founder-entrepreneur to have some kind of a dip in performance immediately after the death owing to the upheaval, but we anticipated there would be a bounce-back," said Becker, a professor at the University of Warwick in the U.K. "Even four years after the death, most firms show no sign of recovering and the negative effect on performance appears to continue even further beyond that."
The difference between the great drop in sales compared to smaller decline in employment was puzzling to Becker. While he isn't sure exactly what accounts for it, he believes the difference shows what a vital role these people play in maintaining productivity levels within a firm.
"It could simply be that the founder was a fantastic salesperson who generated a disproportionately high level of sales," Becker said. "On the other hand, it could be down to a leadership effect, where the founder-entrepreneur inspires the employees to perform as best they can and without this presence that drive slips away."
As part of the study, researchers analyzed data on privately owned firms in Norway that had not been opened for longer than 10 years. Specifically, they followed 341 firms where the majority-owning founder had died, and compared them to the same number of companies that shared similar characteristics but where the entrepreneur remained alive.
The results held true regardless of the business type, such as family or non-family firms and urban or rural businesses.
The study did discover that the level of education of the founder did play a role in how badly the firms were affected. Businesses with the most highly educated founders experienced a bigger drop in performance after the death.
While Steve Jobs is an example of a recent prominent entrepreneur death, Becker cautions against applying the study's conclusions to Apple as it is today. Instead, he thinks the results should be applied to Apple's early history in the 1980s when Jobs left the company.
"Apple struggled without him and didn't really regain its momentum until Jobs came back to the helm in the 1990s," Becker said. "During this time Jobs was lost to the firm, creating a similar dynamic to what happens in companies in which the founder-entrepreneur dies."
The study was co-authored by Hans Hvide, a professor the University of Bergen in Norway.

Troy Aikman lists his top 10 NFL quarterbacks
let's call it a win for catchy titles.
Having played the position myself, I probably view quarterbacks a little differently than most people.
c'mon Chad Henne #1!
It's not just about talent and production. A quarterback also has to be the team leader and spokesman, and he must be able to handle criticism as well as praise.
...what a radical redefinition of the position. I've never heard anyone in the media talk of this "leadership" and "poise" attributes you speak of.
Given all of the media outlets and fan forums out there now, the scrutiny of quarterbacks has never been more intense.
My list of the top 10 quarterbacks probably will generate healthy debate among fans — Why did you leave this guy off? Why is that guy ranked so low? — but I know one thing: Each of these players has the complete package, and I would start a team with any of them.
you're all winners! But seriously, are you trying to pre-emptively comfort the losers? Predict the mass hysteria your (entirely non controversial, bar one, very, very, very big glaring omission) list will generate. "I know some will call me brash, foolish, even arrogant at the preperation of this list. All I can tell those people is that writing this list was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life, and I hope you all can forgive me."
Just give me Peyton, Brady and Brees.
1. Peyton Manning, Colts. I've never seen any quarterback shoulder more responsibility and do more for his team. We all see what he does in games on Sunday, but what he does in practice during the week is just as impressive.
2. Tom Brady, Patriots. He recently became the highest-paid player in the NFL — and deservedly so. Three Super Bowl championships. Enough said.
3. Drew Brees, Saints. He's the perfect guy to run Sean Payton's offense. I don't know if there are many players more prepared going into a game.
don't say he didn't warn you to brace yourself. How feeble are these little explanations by the way? Manning - he's responsible for the offense and prepared. Brady - he's paid a lot and won rings. Brees - he's responsible for the offense and prepared. This is the greatest waste of bandwidth since...well, that's what this blog is for isn't it? To document all that stuff.
4. Aaron Rodgers, Packers. He stepped in under difficult circumstances two years ago and has produced back-to-back 4,000-yard passing seasons. Plus, his best days are still ahead. Aaron is one cool customer who has handled everything thrown at him with ease.
very chic pick. Even the first open slot he filled predictably.
5. Philip Rivers, Chargers. He has great charisma and is a tremendous competitor. For a guy who doesn't move that well in the pocket, he has surprising playmaking ability.
even if his team does hate him.
6. Tony Romo, Cowboys. He's a great playmaker. People have criticized him for not showing up big in big games — and at times he has struggled — but it's not because he doesn't welcome the challenge. He loves competition.
let the record show that the three names above have a 4-8 postseason record between them. Remember this, it'll be important in a minute. Keen observers probably see what's coming.
7. Matt Schaub, Texans. After escaping the obscurity of playing behind Michael Vick in Atlanta, Schaub has blossomed as a starter in Houston. If he can stay healthy, his performance this season could elevate his status around the league.
Schaub has started 22 consecutive games and 41 of a possible 51 for the Texans, hardly a huge injury risk.
8. Carson Palmer, Bengals. Injury issues and distractions around the team have sometimes called attention away from the fact he is pretty special. He's one of the most talented guys nobody talks about.
people talk about Carson Palmer all the time. His QB rating for the last three years is 83.12. He ain't the same guy Troy.
9. Matt Ryan, Falcons. With Ryan as their starter, the Falcons have had back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in franchise history. As long as he stays healthy, they're going to have a lot of winning seasons — and playoff victories, too.
10. Joe Flacco, Ravens. For a guy who plays on an offense that tends to get overshadowed by its defense and big personalities, he has developed into a great leader. I like him a lot.
OK, here's why I'm here.
Ben Roethlisberger.
Just from the Wiki page.
Roethlisberger has been one of the most efficient passers in NFL history. He currently ranks 9th all-time in NFL passer rating (91.7), 5th in yards per attempt (8.01), and 9th in completion percentage (63.29%) among quarterbacks with a minimum of 1500 career attempts. He has the 5th highest winning percentage (.698) as a starter in the regular season among quarterbacks with a minimum of 80 starts.
He's 7-2 in the postseason. The names above him (not including the big three) are 6-13, none has a winning playoff record. None have ever even been to a Superbowl. Three of them have had just three full seasons in the league. Troy, What. The. Fuck. I think he actually, literally just forgot because Roethlisberger's missed a few games. I'm sorry, I'm not even a Big Ben guy but come the fuck on. He's done this all behind one of the worst O-Line's in the league (at least consistantly below average) and rarely had an above average running game.
But wait, there's more.
Honorable mention: Brett Favre, Vikings. He didn't make my top 10 only because he's about to turn 41. We take his consecutive games streak for granted, expecting him to be there every week. Because of that, we've lost sight of just how punishing playing quarterback is. Favre came back last year and played at an unbelievable level. That was more impressive than anything I'd seen him do in his 20 NFL seasons.
my issue here, it may surprise you, is not with Favre's mention (notwithstanding my Roethlisberger comments above). No, it's with the "punishing" line. Playing quarterback is punishing apparently.
I call shenanigans. Shenanigans I say!
Honestly, this is the only player on the field you can touch with a feather duster only. He is the most protected player of the 22 out there, both in terms of blocking and of referees. Yeah, those running backs sure have it easy huh Troy? And what about those bum offensive lineman? Pussies. Try going out there and playing quarterback, when you have the punishing embarrassment of sitting down while players around you apologise to a referee for touching you. Punishing stuff.
Maybe wide receiver. Maybe I can give you wide receiver. But even a receiver gets tackled three or four times a game. Quarterback is the one, non special teams position on the field, where you have a possible chance of not touching anyone on the opposition for the entire game. They devote five men specifically to stop you being tackled. When a quarterback is tackled, everyone, spectators, players, broadcasters, are beside themselves with excitement. They even have a special stat to commemorate it it's so amazing. Coaches demand that quarterbacks do not run for fear of being physically imposed upon by the opposition player, something every other player goes through between four and fifty times a game. There is not a more preening position in sports, and this "consecutive games" thing is fucking ludicrous. Running backs should be applauded for this. Offensive lineman. Linebackers. Not fucking quarterbacks, and especially not, self serving Brett fucking Favre.
Now I'm done.

Baby, its cold outside! We were going to have an outdoor party the other week, but BURR!! It gets COLD up here in New England, y'all!! So instead, we enjoyed a tailgating feast in the warm cozyness of the Great Indoors. It was awesome. And warm.
We decided to do a gourmet burger bar! It was easy and fun for everyone. We served the burgers (and hot dogs and brats) with a huge green salad and some chips. Easy-peazy!
good burgers (we love the 'pub burgers' sold at our local grocery store, but this is a great recipe to make your own)
cheese (provolone, cheddar or blue cheese)
carmelized onions
mushrooms sauteed in olive oil and a splash of wine
thick cut bacon (thick cut is worth it. oh, yes.)
good hamburger buns, toasted
whatever else floats your boat
I cooked up the onions, mushrooms and bacon earlier that day and just reheated while my husband grilled the burgers. It was a great entertaining plan with very little work during the party.
Remember, for tailgating and homegating: keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. Don't let food sit at room temperature for more than two hours so have replacements ready at half time. For more info on safe entertaining, check out FoodSafety.gov.

This is part of an ongoing series, focusing on how to use numbers to analyze and run your company more efficiently and effectively. You can find more at the contents page.
When you are running a site/app/service that is tracking individual users either through sign-ups, downloads or some other mechanism, you are most certainly aware of all the regular metrics: active users, retention, viral coefficient, etc. A really good way to measure and gain insight into your business is cohort analysis.
The traditional cohort definition is pretty self-explanatory:
A type of multiple cross-sectional design where the population of interest is a cohort whose members have all experienced the same event in the same time period (eg birth).
When replacing birth with sign-ups, for example, you get to the point where cohort makes sense for you.
Here's what you want to get out of such an analysis:
- Analyze and present user behavior by showing similar behavior over different time periods.
- Explaining how your current user base (for the given criteria) is made up of user groups from previous time periods.
- Explain what percentage of your revenue you expect to generate from the sign-ups you were just generating a couple of periods out.
- Become more predictable in both user growth and revenue, easing the growth process and thus opening the door to planning.
What you want to prove is that you can predict future behavior by showing that users act the same over different periods. Actually, what you want to show is a certain pattern.
Presentation (Example)
This sort of analysis is best presented in a graph as shown below:
What you can see immediately is that the area on the right (Period 5) stacks up our current status with users from Period 1 to Period 4. The really interesting piece of the puzzle comes into play when you are considering what exactly your users represent: active, subscribers, etc. So here is what we can infer from the chart:
- The height of the chart at Period 5 (at 280) is the number of users currently using (or paying for) our system/app.
- The individual stacks have a drop-off. As we can see, the drop-off is high in the beginning and then starts to level out but does not go down to zero. Since this is homogeneous across all periods, we can infer that there is something we are doing right: user behavior becomes predictable.
- For each period 1 to 4, new users were signing up and the number of users from Period 1 makes up 17.8% (50 out of 280) of the users in Period 5.
- The fall off of users from one Period to the next is higher in subsequent Periods, leveling out at about 25% of the original sign-ups after 3 periods.
Cohort analysis offers great insights into what's happening at your user base. It surely consumes a lot of time to collect and grasp the data, especially when your site is getting a bit more popular. But it is well worth the time as you are getting the insights into your users behavior and the development of your site/app. After all, cohort analysis is not too complex but still one which is easy to grasp graphically.
UPDATE: LSVP posted an interesting article on this as well.

Top Ten Coolest Looking Nintendo Charactersbrendenbrock
The Top Ten
While Samus could very easily have made this list, we decided that her alter-ego was just flat out the better decision. Cooler colors and just overall, more badass. The suit takes the cake on our list of the Top Ten Coolest Looking Nintendo Characters. - brendenbrock
The master of style. Ya sure, he was cool in his own games. But in Super Smash Bros. , he turns into the legend of swag. From the knee to his extremely famous falcon punch, Falcon quite intuitively made a name for himself by all gamers worldwide. - brendenbrock
Ganon is a total beast!
Nope, not the 'Dorf, this enormous, disgusting beast. In appearance he looks frightening, and in battle, he is relentless. Now who is the last monster I'd want to be eaten alive by? This behemoth. - brendenbrock
This should be number one
The thing that makes Meta Knight so badass is that in reality, he's virtually Kirby with a suit. His voice is deep and intimidating, but his agility and swordsmanship make him a front runner on our list of coolest looking Nintendo characters. Plus, dem wings doe. - brendenbrock
I just spam the tornado move-no one can touch me! He does look quite cool though! - keycha1n
The mask makes him look so cool. - Garythesnail
Yes Bowser is cool, but he'd be on the lower half of this list, most likely. Rip out his scaly flesh and grant him a molten shell, and now you have something special. Dry Bowser is not only here because of his looks either. His normal version is one of the most iconic villains in all of gaming. - brendenbrock
Screw big whales or flying snakes. Lets talk huge, red T. Rex type of Pokemon. And not just his basic form, that'd be far too boring. His primal form, in which he seems to have a lava-filled inside, is easiest the coolest looking Pokemon. He has the ability to expand continents and dongs worldwide. If you ever were to see a Groudon in real life, your only chance of survival would be to be holding none other than a master ball. Best o' luck! - brendenbrock
Ranking for Hoenn Primals/Megas:
1. Primal Groudon
2. Primal Kyogre
3. Mega Rayquaza - RiverClanRocks
Wolf is a very interesting character in the Star Fox series. He's part villain, but also aids Fox against the Aparoid army. His design is pretty sweet, but his character is the most interesting thing. He recruits a whole team of his own to aid himself in missions, yet he also seems to have very little worries about anything going wrong ever. Just as if he ruled space. - brendenbrock
Mewtwo just does not give two cares. He's a psychic Pokemon that Shoot giants orbs of energy at you, or simply just destroy your life with his mind. Known to be remorseless to enemies, this Pokemon thrives in battle, and at looking cool in general. - brendenbrock
What's scarier than a dog with two heads? A molten dog with it's spine sticking out. This enemy is very much like Cerberus, except two-headed and flaming. It is also the gatekeeper of the underworld, if everything else didn't seem badass enough. - brendenbrock
This should be number one they are more terrifying tan anything
The Newcomers
The Contenders
Ridley, the antagonist of Metroid, checks in at the number 10 spot on our list. Some may put him higher, but due to the fact that he has more of a cliche design, we believe he belongs where he is. Yes he's extremely badass, but has a bit of a simpler character design than others on our list. - brendenbrock
The costume sword sheild and is better than mario
Number one he's not Nintendo, number two he sucks.
XanderMartin is totally gonna reply to this.
How is this nonsense on here
I like Koopa Troopa - koopatroopaandgoomba4ever
He is only cute
TheLonelyGoomba would be proud!
He looks like Huicho & Toño but that not means he is cool
He is funny looking but not cool

-- Preview courtesy of the NESCAC --
HADLEY, Mass. – The nationally-ranked No. 5 Wesleyan women's tennis team has earned the No. 3 seed in the 2018 NESCAC Women's Tennis Championships. Play begins on Friday, May 4 with first-round contests between No. 4 Tufts and No. 5 Amherst, and No. 3 Wesleyan and No. 6 Bowdoin, both matches scheduled for 9 a.m. The winners will advance to the semifinals on Saturday, May 5 and the championship match is scheduled for 9 a.m. on Sunday, May 6.
Tufts (11-5, 6-3 NESCAC) earned the No. 4 seed and will face No. 5 Amherst (10-8, 4-4 NESCAC) in the first round. The Jumbos advanced to last year's semifinals as the No. 3 seed where they fell to eventual-champion Williams. Tufts has qualified for all but one NESCAC Championship and is looking for its first title. The host Mammoths are seeking their 10th title and have qualified for the NESCAC Tournament for the fourth year in a row. Tufts and Amherst have met five times in championship play with the Mammoths holding a 4-1 advantage in the series. Tufts earned its first win over Amherst in NESCAC postseason play with a 5-1 quarterfinal victory in 2017.
The winner of the Tufts/Amherst match will meet No. 1 Williams (16-0, 7-0 NESCAC) in the semifinals. The Ephs will be looking to win their first NESCAC title under first-year head coach Anik Cepeda. Williams has won eight NESCAC Championships, including three straight, and enters the tournament unbeaten. The Ephs own a 3-0 record against the Jumbos and are 3-7 versus the Mammoths in NESCAC postseason play.
The other first-round match features No. 3 Wesleyan (11-2, 7-2 NESCAC) squaring off against No. 6 Bowdoin (9-11, 4-4 NESCAC). The Cardinals set a program record with seven NESCAC victories to earn their highest seed ever. They are also making their 10th postseason appearance. Wesleyan opened the season with five straight wins before dropping an 8-1 decision to top-seeded Williams. The Cardinals are in search of their first title. The Polar Bears have qualified for every NESCAC Championship and have advanced to the semifinals eight times. Bowdoin boasts a 2-1 record against Wesleyan in championship play and the two teams last met in the 2017 quarterfinals with the Polar Bears posting a 5-3 victory.
Middlebury (13-2, 6-1 NESCAC) is the No. 2 seed and will play the winner of Wesleyan/Bowdoin. This is the Panthers' 17th postseason appearance as they pursue their first NESCAC title. Middlebury advanced to the championship match the past two seasons but fell to Williams both times. The Panthers have won six straight matches entering the tournament. They are 3-1 against the Polar Bears, most recently posting a 5-2 win in the 2017 semifinals. Middlebury and Wesleyan have never met in NESCAC postseason play.
The format of the NESCAC Women's Tennis Championship changed in the spring of 2006 and features six teams vying for the NESCAC crown. Prior to 2006, the event was set up as an individual flighted tournament that included players from all 11 member institutions. The championship field is now chosen by a tournament selection committee, which seeds the six participating teams, with the top two seeds receiving a first-round bye.
Results of each match and updated schedules will be available at the conclusion of each day at NESCAC.com.

7 "Breaks" Before You Breakaway
- On June 26, 2017
- Give yourself a break
Comparing the myriad of breakaway models and options can take a lot of time and frustrating to navigate all alone. Give yourself a break and let Advisorbox help make the process easier, more efficient, and even more enjoyable. While this may be your first time to the rodeo, we do this everyday. There is no cost to you for our services and think you will appreciate our consultative, supportive, advisor advocacy approach.
- Brake before you break
If you're considering becoming a Breakaway Broker we suggest you brake before you break to make sure you are aware of the available independent models, firms, and strategies before you hit the gas. In our conversations with would be Breakaways, many aren't fully informed about the myriad of options and structures available, and how to get from here to there. We'll help to show you the roadmap before you take off driving.
- Should you break away or just break out?
A Breakaway Broker is wirehouse broker who "breaks away" from the wirehouse employee model to independence, whether it be with an independent broker dealer, RIA, or a hybrid. Breakout Brokers however, also want out of the wirehouse, but for now, independence isn't what they are looking for. Breakout Brokers enjoy the familiarity and benefits of the employee model, but just want to be break out of the wirehouse jail. Some Breakout Brokers will move to monetize their practice through a compelling recruiting package deal now, and then Breakaway to independence when they are ready to sell their practice in 10+ years. The first thing to determine is if you are a Breakaway Broker or really a Breakout Broker. Consider reading our Breakout Broker BluePaper.
- To break away from one is to break into another
Making the decision to breakaway may be one of the most important professional decisions you make in your career as an advisor. To break away from one is to break into another. Take the time to fully explore your options to make sure what you break into really is a fit and not just the first firm you spoke with. Advisorbox can help you avoid jumping from the frying pan to the fire, or ending up with a less than ideal situation for what you really needed.
- Pure independence isn't a deal breaker
Many would be Breakaways would rather keep their 40% wirehouse payout than spend 40% of their future time on business owner responsibilities of running a pure independence business model. Having all the responsibilities and being alone, sometimes gives potential Breakaway Brokers pause. Fortunately, you don't have to be a full-blown card-carrying entrepreneur, to be independent.
- Soft Landings ease the break.
Breakaways can plug into another independent practice that provides the office, support staff, compliance, receptionist, and more. The Breakaway still owns their practice but can determine the level of support desired and the two independent business owners agree to a split on payout and/or office space. While sometimes these relationships result in long term win-wins, others will use the soft landing strategy to make the first months and year much less stressful by utilizing an established business already intimately familiar with the independent broker dealer, custodian, or RIA you affiliated with. This is an easier transition process with significantly less startup costs and typically higher net income than going it alone.
- Don't break good faith following Broker Protocol
Every wirehouse advisor is familiar with the concept of Broker Protocol but not the details. We recommend fully reviewing the key points about Broker Protocol at the beginning of your breakaway evaluation process. While Protocol makes the breakaway process much easier than pre-protocol days, there are serious consequences for brokers who don't take it seriously. If you are acting in good faith in following the Protocol you'll be just fine but knowing the Do's and Don'ts at the beginning is important. Consider reading our Broker Protocol BluePaper.

Access control systems are used in businesses and residential properties throughout the world. These are used to improve security, keeping occupants safe. There are so many different choices available from card readers to keypads to biometrics, which include fingerprint scanners and more.
There are a number of factors you have to take into consideration whether you're choosing access control systems for your business, for an apartment complex or for your home.
The first thing you need to take note of is the ease of use. If you're getting home late from work, what is the easiest system to use to gain access to your property? When you're dealing with a hundred or more people in an office building, what is the easiest solution to ensure that everyone can gain access without issues and that you can track who is coming and going.
Smaller businesses and homes tend to choose keypads. They are given a unique code, which can be changed regularly to improve security. This code can be given to multiple family members or employees. Changing the code regularly ensures that the code isn't handed to someone else offering them access and compromising the security in the property.
Card readers are exceptionally common in residential and office buildings. Each person has their own unique card that they swipe to gain access. Most of these cards have a barcode, which enables the security team to monitor who is coming and who is going. Once a person leaves the company, you can delete the card from the system, eliminating the ability for that person to gain access.
Biometrics is used in homes and also in high risk businesses, such as government building server rooms and banking institutions. Fingerprint scanners, retina scanners and other high tech systems are used to only allow the person with approved access to get into a specific room or gain access to a certain property.
Looking at the access control systems you feel is the right match for what you need, it's advisable to ensure it's expandable, especially if you are a business and may add new team members as the business grows moving forward. Being able to add new cards for the card reader, ensuring it's easy to add new people to biometrics and the ability to add more scanners and systems to different rooms, linking back to the main database are all very important considerations to factor into your decision moving forward.
If you want to allow visitor access, determine how this can be incorporated into the system. Card readers give visitors their own unique card which they sign for, this way you have the visitor's information and who they are visiting in the building. They also hand the card back when they leave, so you know they have left the building and your security has not been compromised.
With keypads, you can include a buzzer system. Your receptionist can push a button to unlock the door to visitors, giving them access. They can then sign in or a diary can be kept with who is coming and going.
Always pay very close attention to the warranty that comes with the access control systems. You want a long warranty that covers any manufacturing defects or issues, this way the repair or replacement cost is not your problem, saving you money.
See if the company you have chosen to purchase your access control system from offers a service agreement. These systems do require regular maintenance to ensure they are operating at their best, having this included in a service agreement can help you budget more effectively.

How Sales Teams Can Build Pipeline Faster
May 14, 2014
Many B2B sales teams are using social media to prospect, but they're not yet using it strategically to build sales pipeline. Today, smart use of social tools is not only helping sales reps fill the sales pipeline, but it can also accelerate movement through the pipeline from leads to prospects to customers. The fact is, social selling has proven to be very effective for prospecting with the right approach.
LinkedIn premium services offer a rich tool kit that can take social selling to the next level. It taps information on many more members, prioritizes them according to likelihood of sales, and exploits all relationships within and outside a selling company to quickly reach prospects and build relationships with decision makers. Premium service can transform LinkedIn from a useful tool into a scalable methodology for managing the entire sales pipeline, from prospecting to close.
The white paper "How Sales Teams Can Build Pipeline Faster" will show how sales teams are leveraging LinkedIn:
- to secure a "warm introduction"
- to uncover hidden connections to valuable prospects
- to find simple, easy ways to establish trust with prospects
- to nurture leads
- to prevent deals from stalling in the pipeline and/or help move deals through the pipeline faster
- to save time on prospecting by filtering masses of data

Honeymoon All-Inclusive Resorts
Honeymoon all-inclusive resorts are a great solution to months of wedding mania.
Let's face it. Weddings are exhausting.
You're running full steam ahead trying to balance work and planning. Your wedding week will be a blur, you may be too excited to sleep the night before your wedding, and you plan to party like a rock star at your reception.
Honeymoon all-inclusive resorts enable you to relax on the beach with a drink in your hand. Once you're rested up, you can choose from a variety of land and water sports. Better yet, they're all included.
If you're well-traveled, you may have a pretty good idea of where you want to go for your honeymoon. Then again, this is the most romantic trip of your life, so you don't want to leave anything to chance.
All-Inclusive resorts are an excellent value. Imagine participating in water sports, ordering anything you want from the menu and having as many drinks as you want. All without money ever exchanging hands.
However, all-inclusive resorts aren't created equal. Choosing the right island and resort is crucial to a happy and romantic honeymoon. You can certainly consult your friends and online reviews, but in the end, you'll want to book the resort that fits YOUR style and personalities.
Questions to Discuss Together
- Do you mind spending your honeymoon around families with children?
- If you prefer an adults only result, are swinging singles OK, or do you prefer a romantic couples only resort?
- Are you a pool person or a beach person?
- Do you prefer to spend your honeymoon in a lounge chair or zip-lining through forests?
- Is fine dining important or are you happy with tasty food, "the usual" presentation and buffet lines?
- Are you happy with any brand of alcohol as long as it's free, or do you favor premium drinks?
- Do you envision spending your honeymoon amid modern glitz or island charm?
- Are you willing to wear a wristband all week or do you want to choose your own accessories?
- Are you OK with not having access to certain restaurants, bars and drinks or do you want to receive the same perks as all the other guests?
- Do you want to spend your evenings dancing the night away, watching high energy shows or cozying up in a private nook?
- If you choose an ocean view room, do you want to have to stick your head out the window and crane your neck to see it or do you want it to be the first thing you see when you open your eyes in the morning?
Whew! There's a lot to consider when choosing between honeymoon all-inclusive resorts. It can be even more overwhelming when you consider all the resort and destination options available for you to choose from.

(Salzburg / Kalbach, in October 2013)
In this process special steel pipes with lateral outlets and tip are rammed into the soil. Suitable extensions are available with and without outlet openings. Especially suitable for low depths in well penetrated soil. The maximum embedment depth is dependent on the ground conditions. In practice, it is possible to embed at depths of up to 15 meters. The injection material may penetrate the soil through the openings. When injecting under base plates these have to be pre-drilled accordingly. For sealing the packers are used with a coupling sleeve.
Drinking water reservoir 1 and 2 on the area of the "Schwarze Pumpe industrial area" have a storage space of 2800 cubic metres each. They were built in the period from 1989 to 1991 as standardized projects (series "PROWA").
Building construction
The overhead tanks are free-standing round containers with an outside diameter of 25.88 meters and a ceiling height of 6.00 meters. They were manufactured in a mixed structure, usually as a reinforced concrete structure.
Monolithic construction: ring container foundations, lower foundations, container floor with a berm formation in the wall area. Erection of buildings: container wall, supports and upper sealing construction. The container floors were constructed from in-situ concrete (B 20) with a soft steel reinforcement. The entire floor plate area was thus formed with both radial and diagonal joints (transverse joints). The container bottom is approx. 1.50 meters above ground level. This means that the plate surface was refilled during the construction phase.
Structural damage
After water leaked from the drinking water reservoir 1 to the outer area, an internal investigation was carried out following the emptying of the reservoir with the following results: leaking joints were found in parts of the container edge areas between the berm and the foundation ring. A ground subsidence was found in the berm plate area next to an obviously crumbling transverse joint, due to erosion / flushing in the floor area below the tank bottom as a result of leaking joints.
Restructuring plan
The required restructuring planning was implemented by Kiwa MPA Bautest GmbH, Lausitz Service Centre. Prior to the renovation of the crumbling joint, the lowered underground in the berm plate area needed to be solidified in order to avoid further sinking of the ground in this area. As mentioned previously, the foundation soil is, backfill or refill material (certainly gravel mixture). The following steps were planned for this process:
- Drilling of injection channel for the intended ram injection lance at intervals of about 50 cm x 50 cm vertically through the concrete base plate.
- Following the vacuuming of debris and dust from the injection channels - the injection lances are rammed into the ground.
- Product: ram injection lance from DESOI GmbH, type: BP-complete, diameter 25 mm x 1200 mm.
- Sealing and consolidation of ground injection by injecting a low viscosity polyurethane-based duromer resin manufactured by MC-Bauchemie with a 2-component injection pump over the previously introduced ram injection lance.
- After the injection material has hardened, the steel packer is removed and the concrete surface is repaired.
The construction work was carried out by the company MBS MAERTIN, Bausanierung Spremberg GmbH. The construction work was carried out professionally in accordance with the restructuring plan incl. specifications. In addition to the ground consolidation, the general restructuring / repair of all crumbling joints are included. The implementation of the construction was controlled on site by the planner and the client.
After the acceptance of the construction work with a positive leaking test after having filled the reservoir, the reconstruction measures, incl. ground consolidation by the ram injection lance, were completed successfully.

A few weeks ago, I reviewed a pilot study for a health promotion campaign. The set-up was pretty simple. Five images were created to inform the population about the dangers of engaging in this specific health behavior. A number of adults were recruited and asked questions about their attitudes toward this behavior. They were then shown 1 of the 5 health promotion images and were asked the same attitude-related questions again. It was a standard one-group, within-subjects design evaluation.
Unsurprisingly, attitudes about the behavior decreased after viewing any of the health promotion images, exactly as the campaign creators had hoped for. But there was a problem. A very simple problem that could have been rectified before the evaluation even began.
I have no way of knowing if the health promotion images actually changed attitudes towards the behavior.
How is this possible? Because there was no control group.
Think about it this way. If you are part of a health-related study that relies on self-report, as in this study, it is fairly easy to guess what the evaluators or researchers want to hear. You are promoting a new exercise program? Great! I say I've doubled the number of days that I have exercised since participating. A new poster about how bad smoking is? Of course I agree that smoking is a terrible habit to have. Do I think fruits and vegetables are good foods? Why yes, yes I do.
Did you pick up on it? Depending on how an evaluation is designed, how an individual's response is measured, and how often an individual's response is measured, subjects may be inadvertently primed to give you the answer you want to hear, particularly if you are taking measurements at multiple time points (which you should be doing). This is what I call testing bias. By measuring something at one time point, we may inadvertently influence the measurement at a subsequent time point.
The solution to this is rather simple. Whenever we are testing individuals at multiple time points, there needs to be a control group that doesn't receive the new program or intervention. The exact nature of the control depends on many factors. First, you must consider whether you have the ability to randomize subjects. This is what is done in true experimental trials but is often difficult when evaluating a new program. Programs often cover geographic regions, and if there is belief the program has positive health benefits, there are limited ethical arguments for refusing to provide such services. In these situations, we often create a non-randomized control group be selecting individuals in a different town or neighborhood, which is done in quasi-experimental studies, often known as natural experiments. There are even instances where different states or countries have acted as non-randomized control groups.
Second, you must consider the type of control group to create. A true control group receives no intervention. For the pilot study mentioned above, a true control group would have simply been asked questions about their attitudes toward a health behavior on two separate occasions. A placebo control group is given some other intervention that isn't expected to influence what you are measuring. For example, if the health promotion campaign was to discourage smoking, a placebo control group could have been shown images about climate change, which would not be expected to change attitudes on smoking. Finally, the control group could be exposed to a previously tested intervention. These studies are known as comparative effectiveness studies. For our pilot study, the subjects could have viewed last year's health promotion campaign materials. In these studies, we hope to see the new intervention work as well or better than the previous intervention.
There is an unintended consequence of using a control group in a multiple time-point evaluation. Whoever is in charge of the data must be knowledgeable enough to properly analyze the data. This isn't a scenario that can be handled with t-tests and chi-square analysis. At a minimum, your data analyst needs to be proficient in repeated-measures ANOVA, multi-level modeling, or path analysis/structural equation modeling.
The take home message: Unless absolutely impossible, always use a control group in your evaluations. Programs, campaigns, and other interventions require considerable resources to develop, and funders will want to know that your new intervention worked. That is not possible unless there is a control group.

In descriptive essay writing, a writer gives his readers a clear image of a person, object, place, emotion or event through his observation. To be able to convey the message to the readers, it is best to present a picture by imagining things like how it would appear if someone is with a certain person that he really wanted to be with and talk to or how excited he got when he received his visa for his vacation to a foreign country.
The key in descriptive essay writing is to give the readers details drawn from the five senses – sight, touch, smell, sound, and taste. The writer has to put them into words so that he could help the reader visualize his subject. It is like showing the reader around a place so he could experience the beauty of the surroundings, the freshness of the air, the calmness of the ocean or letting him experience how it is like to be in the soccer field watching his favorite soccer team during a tournament or dancing with his crush at the prom.
Creativity is very important in descriptive essay writing so the writer could catch the attention of the readers. The writer may use words to describe how far a place is, the kind of a person he just met, the texture of an object, what he felt after a long walk one Sunday afternoon or how thrilled he was when he first had his bicycle as a gift from his parents. By using descriptive words, readers may feel as if they are in the same position as of the writer.
The goal in descriptive essay writing is to discuss a specific topic to give the readers a clear idea of what he is telling them about. Concentrating on a topic is the best way in descriptive essay writing. So when the writer decides on describing a person, he just have to write the characteristics of that person and tell his readers how he finds him attractive and extraordinary. He may compare him to other people in his school, social group or community and list down the traits of that person that makes him remarkable.
There is no general rule in descriptive essay writing. The writer is free to give his opinion about the things he wants to focus on as his subject. He uses his thoughts and describes the things based on his own personal outlook, puts them into words artistically that the readers get to feel what he felt during that same situation.
Descriptive essay writing could be challenging at times. As a writer, it is somehow a requirement to be observant, be liberated in expressing thoughts and ideas in mind, compare things and make use of a lot of adjectives and adverbs so as to create an impression to the readers why he found something very interesting and make them think that his article is worth reading. The different figures of speech are also helpful in creating a portrait of the topic. Giving proper description of a certain topic helps writers in effectively writing a descriptive essay.About the Author:
