Q: The downloaded software is in ISO format. How do I burn an ISO file to a CD in order to install the software? (show)
A: ISO images are images of a disk containing all files as well as boot files necessary for automatically launching the installation wizard. These files need to be burned to a disk specifically as an image, instead of a 'data' disk, which will extract the ISO into the required setup files. By burning the file to a disk as a data disk, you will simply end up with an ISO file on the disk, which cannot be used for the installation.
Once you download the software, you will end up with the ISO file which by default is saved in the C:\temp folder. You will have to burn it on a CD to make it "bootable." You need special software to do this. If you don't have one, try the following:
A free disk burning program, [email protected] ISO Burner, is available by www.NTFS.com that will allow you to burn ISO or disk images to a disk.
Click Here to download [email protected] ISO Burner.

Well here's an example of some color typography that I'm pretty proud of… check out that fancy ribbon type!
I was delighted to be able to help draw the ribbon script letters on the cover of this year's Target holiday catalog, hooray! I worked with typographic illustrator Anne Ulku on this custom lettering job, with the helpful guidance of those smart art-director people at Target. So nice to be a part of the team, and I'm so happy with how this type turned out. You can view the catalog online at the Target website, or maybe you'll see the final printed piece showing up in your mailbox some day soon:) Ho ho ho!
Drew a couple words inside the piece, too. Gifts & Toys! Here's a pic of that one:
- For designers, there's no convenient method to use full-color fonts.
- For the font creators, there's no industry-standard format for creating full-color fonts.
- They are hard on the eyes. Full-color type needs to be used sparingly. Even if there was a way to easily use them, it takes a keen eye and advanced typographic skills to use them in a tasteful manner.

Stamp duty and registration laws for rentals in Maharashtra 2018/ 2019
There are many legal formalities in which one must obey, buy or rent a property, leave and license agreement must be stamped and registered. As stamp duty is the state subject, all the states have laws governing different rates and stamp duty.
The formula to calculate the stamp duty payable on a rental agreement
Monthly rent is not of X months = A
For advance / non-recoverable deposit = advance rent for b
10% x refundable deposit x number of years in contract = c
Total amount of stamp duty = D = A + B + C
Stamp Duty = E = 0.25% x D
For example, if you enter the release and license agreement for 24 months, the monthly rental is Rs 25,000. And Rs 5 lakh If refund is payable, then you get Rs 1,750 Stamp Duty of (0.25% rent to be leased) Six lakh for two years and one lakh for two years)
Registration provisions for rental agreements in Maharashtra
It is the responsibility of the landlord to register the contract of the fare, if the failure, then the employer has to pay a penalty of Rs. 5000 and he will be imprisoned for three months. If the leave and license agreement is not registered and if any dispute arises between the landlord and the tenancy, the agreement and terms and conditions given by the tenant shall be carried out in accordance with the real and exact conditions in which it is the real estate, unless it is proved otherwise the rent will be paid.
The registration fee for lease agreement in Maharashtra depends on where the asset is leased. If the property is in rural area then Rs. If there is 500, the registration fee is Rs. 1 thousand. On the contrary, in the absence of any contract, stamp duty and registration price is taken by the hirer.

P.O. Box 200
Belleville, WI 53508-0200
Dear Duluth Trading Company,
Recently I heard a tape of President Lyndon B. Johnson ordering a pair of pants from Joe Haggar. The President was very specific as to what he wanted in a pair of pants:
And another thing - the crotch, down where your nuts hang - is always a little too tight, so when you make them up, give me an inch that I can let out there, uh because they cut me, it's just like riding a wire fence. These are almost, these are the best I've had anywhere in the United States. But, uh when I gain a little weight they cut me under there. So, leave me, you never do have much of margin there. See if you can't leave me an inch from where the zipper ends, round, under my, back to my bunghole, so I can let it out there if I need to.
Well, immediately I thought what the President really needed was a pair of your Men's USA-made 5-Pocket Ballroom Jeans! (By the way I love the "ballroom" pun!) Regardless of what Thomas Jefferson or the Declaration of Independence may say, not all men are created equal (if you know what I mean!). Many of us have the exact same problem as LBJ, many of us need your "hidden crotch gusset." It's too bad you can't go back in time and send LBJ a pair, but what I thought you should do is send President Obama a pair. I'm not sure whether Obama is built like me or LBJ, but still it'd be funny, and everyone could use another pair of pants!
By the way I wear a 38/32.

If you're wanting to sponsor a letter this one is still open. The Duluth Trading Company didn't really buy an ad on my site. I hotlinked their ad so I'd show up in their weblogs. (Their web guy needs to know my site exists.)

No question if I had been given the opportunity to choose a profession I would have turned myself into a professional photographer. The mere idea of visiting different places and possibly countries makes me wonder where I would be right now. However, life showed me other ways and I am pretty happy doing what I do. Photography will always be with me for sure.
There was this event called "Bank of Brazil beach volleyball tournament", needless to say who the sponsor is but I love this tournament. It travels across the country there are lots of famous beach volleyball players, lots of food and people it is just a nice atmosphere. It's a four-day event and I made sure I took as many photos as I could possibly imagine.

no bake oatmeal pb bars from Brown Eyed Baker to take over to visit my in-laws. We were in a bit of a rush, so I didn't have time to snap a photo before we left the house with them. I figured I'd take a picture of the leftovers when we got home that night. And can you believe it? There were NO leftovers!
My bars looked a little different from the ones on the Brown Eyed Baker website. The chocolate chips in the batter melted after step 4. I think this was a good thing, because it probably helped them set up. It did make the bars a darker chocolate-y brown, without the pretty definition of the oats. I think you could resolve this issue by adding the chips to the batter after pouring on the sugar-butter-milk solution. Either way you mix the bars up, they are addictively delicious.
No Bake Oatmeal PB Bars from Brown Eyed Baker
3 c old-fashioned oats
2 c semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1 c peanut butter
1 t vanilla
2 c sugar
½ c milk (I used skim)
½ c butter
½ t salt
1. Line 9x13 pan w parchment
2. In large bowl, stir oatmeal, 1 c chips, peanut butter and vanilla.
3. In medium pan over med heat, combine sugar, milk, butter and salt. Bring to a full boil with bubbles covering all the liquid. Boil for 2 min. Set a timer. If cooked for took long, bars will be crumbly, if for not long enough bars will be too gooey.
4. Immediately pour hot mix over oatmeal mix. Quickly stir to combine, so all oats are covered. Turn into parchment-lined pan. Press evenly w back of spoon. Sprinkle remaining chips over top. Gently press into top of bars.
5. Allow bars to sit at room temp to set about an hour (Longer if it's humid) Use edges of parchment to lift bars out of pan and cut in squares. Store in airtight container at room temp up to 1 wk.

Hello dear Tweedles... I'm not sure if I've told you this but you have the cutest name... I bet your mom loves saying it over and over again.
Next, don't worry, spring will be back soon... in a year or so. In the mean time, you can always enjoy the reds and orange of summer.
We only have two weathers here- Sunny and Rainy season.

Tweedles, I will miss things about Spring. I like the way I feel when I first realize that Spring is here. The familiar smells, the birds and the pretty flowers that only visit in Spring and then go away. I will miss it, but Summer can be wonderful also, with new flowers and birds and yummy yummy treasures from the Farmers Market. I like Summer too and now I think I am ready for it. What about you??

So sweet, Tweedles. Today is the solstice, isn't it? We didn't have spring this year... and that's why we're having so many fires. Maybe she could visit us next?

Good Morning, Tweedles! Your words to Spring are so truly beautiful! I loved reading it.

After a few months, by the time spring arrives there, they will be oh so ready for the gentle breezes and warmer temps of spring. Safe travels, spring!

The Metadata Framework functionality in SuccessFactors provides a set of useful features that enable organizations to build end-to-end applications to meet company-specific needs and realize a better return on investment. However, there is a restriction on the number of Metadata Framework objects that companies can create. It ranges between 25 to 75 objects depending on the edition of the software.
There is always a need in any HRMS system to provide options for storing company-specific information and a workflow-based approval mechanism to support it. Company-specific instructions and warnings are two examples of information that need workflow-based approvals and, once reviewed and approved, this information needs to be displayed to the employees and managers in the system. For example, a warning message would be sent to an employee who has been late three times, saying that the next occurrence of tardiness will result in punitive action—say, docked pay. During workflow, this information is displayed only to the manager—once it's approved by the manager and the up-line manager, it is made visible to the employee on the portlet.
Another requirement across all HRMS systems is to provide for the storage and display of information that is processed in a system other than the core HRMS system. Two examples are time accounts (absence or quota-related information) and pay slips, if the time or the payroll components are managed in a system other than the core HRMS system.
In both of the above cases there is a need to customize the solution as both vary from one company to another. Similarly, some other related information that is managed by organizations is the language skills of an employee or the need to provide training to update an employee's work skills or education.
The Metadata Framework in Employee Central provides an option to custom develop a solution based on an organization's needs for both the above scenarios, and can be expanded to meet other similar requirements.
These enhanced features of the Metadata Framework allow you to:

- About this Textbook
Probabilistic graphical models and decision graphs are powerful modeling tools for reasoning and decision making under uncertainty. As modeling languages they allow a natural specification of problem domains with inherent uncertainty, and from a computational perspective they support efficient algorithms for automatic construction and query answering. This includes belief updating, finding the most probable explanation for the observed evidence, detecting conflicts in the evidence entered into the network, determining optimal strategies, analyzing for relevance, and performing sensitivity analysis.
The book introduces probabilistic graphical models and decision graphs, including Bayesian networks and influence diagrams. The reader is introduced to the two types of frameworks through examples and exercises, which also instruct the reader on how to build these models.
The book is a new edition of Bayesian Networks and Decision Graphs by Finn V. Jensen. The new edition is structured into two parts. The first part focuses on probabilistic graphical models. Compared with the previous book, the new edition also includes a thorough description of recent extensions to the Bayesian network modeling language, advances in exact and approximate belief updating algorithms, and methods for learning both the structure and the parameters of a Bayesian network. The second part deals with decision graphs, and in addition to the frameworks described in the previous edition, it also introduces Markov decision processes and partially ordered decision problems. The authors also
- provide a well-founded practical introduction to Bayesian networks, object-oriented Bayesian networks, decision trees, influence diagrams (and variants hereof), and Markov decision processes.
- give practical advice on the construction of Bayesian networks, decision trees, and influence diagrams from domain knowledge.
- give several examples and exercises exploiting computer systems for dealing with Bayesian networks and decision graphs.
- present a thorough introduction to state-of-the-art solution and analysis algorithms.
The book is intended as a textbook, but it can also be used for self-study and as a reference book.
Finn V. Jensen is a professor at the department of computer science at Aalborg University, Denmark.
Thomas D. Nielsen is an associate professor at the same department.
- Reviews
From the reviews:
"This is indeed an invaluable text for students in information technology, engineering, and statistics. It is also very helpful for researchers in these fields and for those working in industry. The book is self-contained…The book has enough illustrative examples and exercises for the reader. All the illustrations are motivated by real applications. Moreover, the book provides a good balance between pure mathematical treatment and the applied aspects of the subject."
"The Bayesian network (BN), or probabilistic expert system, is technology for automating human-life reasoning under uncertainty in specific contexts. … the book does an admirable job of concisely explaining a great range of concepts and techniques. … the book is very well written and to my knowledge nothing else meets its specific goal of quickly equipping the reader with both practical skills and sufficient theoretical background. … I certainly would not want to try to implement a BN application without reading this book." (David Tritchler, Sankhya: Indian Journal of Statistics, Vol. 64 (B Part 3), 2002)
"Professor Jensen is certainly one of the most influential researchers in the field of Bayesian networks and it is not surprising that this book represents a very clear and useful presentation of the main properties and use of graphical models. … I think that the present volume represents a useful integration of other material and a compact guide for either a student who wants an introduction to the field or a teacher who needs a reference for a course on probabilistic reasoning in AI." (Luigi Portinale, The Computer Journal, Vol. 46 (3), 2003)
"This book is an introduction to Bayesian networks at an accessible level for first-year graduate or advanced undergraduate students. … I found this book to be an excellent introduction to the topic. It is well written, provides broad topic coverage, and is quite accessible to the non-expert. … I think Bayesian Networks and Decision Graphs would make a fine text for an introductory class in Bayesian networks or a useful reference for anyone interested in learning about the field." (David J. Marchette, Technometrics, Vol. 45 (2), 2003)
"I can comfortably recommend this book as a primary source for topics related to Bayesian networks and decision graphs. This would be an excellent edition to any personal library." (Technometrics, Feburary 2008)
From the reviews of the second edition:
"The present book provides a very readable but also rigorous and comprehensive introduction to the subject. It would make a very good text for a graduate or an advanced undergraduate course. … Altogether, this is a very useful book for anyone interested in learning Bayesian networks without tears." (Jayanta K. Ghosh, International Statistical Reviews, Vol. 76 (2), 2008)
"This book is the second edition of Jensen's Bayesian Networks and Decision Graphs … . Each chapter ends with a summary section, bibliographic notes, and exercises. … provides a readable, self-contained, and above all, practical introduction to Bayesian networks and decision graphs. Its treatment is appropriate not just for statisticians, but also for computer scientists, engineers, and others researchers with appropriate mathematical background. … highly recommend it as a text or a useful reference for anyone interested in probabilistic graphical models or decision graphs." (Alyson G. Wilson, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 104 (485), March, 2009)
"Devoted to Bayesian Networks or Graphical Models and Influence Diagrams, covering a full course with nice exercises … . It is useful as a reference for special topics. … strongly recommended for readers or user of BNs who are interested in specifying dependency models. … great importance to practitioners who try to find causality behind call-backs of products or crashes. … the book can be recommended to anybody working on the interface of operations research, AI, statistics and computer science."

Ethernet driver gone?
I recently got a new computer and my computer which i had thought to be registered fine and dandy shut me out of windows 7 telling me that the windows 7 i had was not genuine even thought i had just got it straight from the factory so i tried reinstalling it with the disc it came with it worked well and windows 7 now works correctly but for some reason i cannot connect to the internet because i am missing the driver for it and having this problem i cannot connect to the internet to look for the drivers i not exactly computer savvy so if anyone could take me through it step by step i would greatly appreciate it thanks

Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit, Windows Developer Preview, Linux Mint 9 Gnome 32 Bit
Did your computer come with a setup DVD? That setup DVD may contain crucial drivers for your computer including the ones for sound and network. So use that and check it out if your computer came with a setup DVD. You may need to ask at the store you bought that machine while its new.
If not, here's a solution. Type Device Manager on the Search bar st the Start Menu. On the Device Manager, under "Network Adapters", choose your network adapter, right click it and choose Update Driver Software. Then Browse My computer for Driver Software then Let me pick for driver software installed on my computer. It shows a list of compatible driver software. Click one until its highlighted and choose Next. It should try installing driver software then you may need to restart for that to take effect.
If this won't do either, copy the exact name of your motherboard. Use another computer with Internet, type that name on Google and add "ETHERNET drivers for" lets say for example "ETHERNET drivers for <exact name of your motherboard model>" then Search that on Google. You can see links where you can download drivers for that, look for the ETHERNET driver compatible for Windows 7, download that, put that on a USB drive then install that to your computer.

Windows 8 64 bit PRO
Was this a prebuilt OEM machine?
Or a custom built from local store?
If we can know the model and manufacture we can give you the links to the drivers all you would likely need to do is copy them into a remobable media (USB Flash Drive), and plug it into your computer without ethernet driver.

Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-Bit
You need to go to your computer manufacturer's support site.
As mentioned above, we can't give you a link because you have told us very little in terms of your computer specs or where it came from.
Also, if your setup is telling you that your copy of Windows is not genuine, you need to sort that out while your computer is under warranty.
Give your vendor a call to see what they say.

Our new 5th and 6th grade teacher, Mrs. King, has brought a service project to our school this year.It is called SOCKTOBER. She and her students are asking for help with gathering 200 pairs of new (unused) socks to donate to homeless people in our local area. Here is the letter that she has asked me to share with everyone:
Dear Families,
Every night in the United States an estimated 600,000 people live on the streets. This October, SoulPancake and Kid President want 2 million people to prove that even the smallest acts of love, like donating a pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of our neighbors who are homeless. For the month of October, Leeds Central School will be collecting new, unused socks for New Beginnings & RCAM, the local shelters for runaway or homeless youth and their families. Also, if you have a few minutes to spare please watch the video at http://soulpancake.com/socktober/.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Mrs. King at firstname.lastname@example.com

Safety concerns have been raised over the positioning of a bus stop in Magherafelt.
The stop outside the town's Mid Ulster Hospital was placed on double yellow lines with the timetable facing towards the road.
Anyone using it would have to step on to the road to view the timetable details.
Local people complained to SDLP MLA Patsy McGlone, who got on to Translink.
Mr McGlone took to Twitter to highlight his concern.
"So, can a bus stop on a double yellow line? Better again, is it sensible for anyone to stand on a busy road to read the bus timetable?" he tweeted.
Translink quickly got on to the case and the bus stop was sorted within a few hours...and tweeted him back!

Upwork formerly Odesk is the leading and the largest online workplace in the world. The company has proven its credibility for years and this is why most freelancer aspirants opt to start their online career with Upwork.
Unlike what most beginners think, freelancing is not an easy job to start. It is not like a traditional job where you would only be competing with hundreds of applicants or maybe less. Upwork runs globally, it means you are competing with different nations. Every job would easily attract from 100 to 500 applicants in just an hour. Although this is not a first-come, first serve basis, however, being the first is truly a big advantage.
I have enumerated here the five basic steps in becoming a Freelancer in Upwork.
1. Sign up - this is the most important thing. To do this, go to Upwork.com and click on "Become a Freelancer". Fill in all the necessary fields and hit "Get Started". Upwork will then notify you when your registration has been approved.
2. Tell more about yourself - Your Upwork profile is composed of your name, job title, the rate per hour, self-video, an overview of your skills, To build an effective introduction about yourself, you have to be specific and sincere in everything that you'll put in your profile.
3. Build your portfolio - your portfolio tells about the projects you've done in the past. You can add every successful project that you've accomplished, it can be an online or offline task then explain what is that task all about.
4. Upload certifications - you can build your credibility with proof. Adding certifications of your accomplishments is a good way to gain trust from employers.
5. Take tests - take at least 3 related tests in order to certify that you are capable of doing the tasks that you are applying for. You can take an unlimited number of tests and once failed, you can only retake it for a certain period of time, as I remember, you have to wait 30 days for another chance.
Typically, an effective profile can be completed for days and you can always add more info every once in a while. Once your profile has been established, you can now start browsing for job vacancies. To look for available jobs, click "Find Work" at the top left-hand side of your dashboard.
Important points to remember when applying for a job.
1. Types of job - There are two types of jobs in Upwork: hourly job and fixed rate job.
- Hourly will track your working hours and you need to download the time tracker to count your hours worked, you can download the app here. With an hourly job, every logged time is paid.
- Fixed rate job is an agreement between you and your employer, you'll only get paid once the project has been completed and approved by the employer. This is a little bit risky but once your employer has a verified account and good profile standing, it usually ends up successful.
2. Employer's profile standing - it is important to ensure that your employer has a verified account. This can be confirmed when there is a green check below the job post summary.
If you find a non-verified client, you can still apply and accept the job offer but ask them to verify their account before accepting the contract. This is to ensure that there will be no problem in billings.
3. Client's Ratings - ratings are given to both parties once the task has been completed. An employer is able to rate a contractor's performance and a contractor can do the same. Both can tell their experiences working with each other. It is important to know how the employer communicated with its contractors in order to know if this client has a good reputation to avoid problems in the end.
Once you've found a job post that matches to your skills and experiences, click on that job posting and start writing your cover letter. A cover is your first chance to impress employer so make the most of it as the first impression is always critical. Read this article to learn more about writing an effective cover letter. An impressed employer will then send an invitation for an interview, it can be a phone interview, Skype, chat or whichever your client desired, you have to be ready for it. Once you passed an interview, you will receive an offer. Don't forget to read the contract carefully before accepting it. It is important to verify the agreed amount for fixed rate jobs and hours of work and rate per hour for hourly jobs.

The Beijing-Tibet Highway has been having a bit of a traffic jam- for nine days so far. The Traffic Bureau says the cause is "insufficient traffic capacity", which Bike Portland thinks is "hilarious....too many cars maybe?" Other wags have noted that "it's quicker to wok."
But drivers aren't leaving. One trucker told Xinhua that he had spent three days and two nights in his vehicle.
"We are advised to take detours, but I would rather stay here since I will travel more distance and increase my costs"
Global Times
Much of the repair work that is the cause of the obstruction is from overloaded trucks carrying coal and fruit. Noodle vendors are gouging the drivers, charging four times the normal price.
The Financial Times calls it "a sign of things to come."
The other side-effects of China's scorching economic growth, from poisonous air to worsening income inequality, are already well-known to all who visit the country. But traffic jams like this could become much more common as consumers - in what is now the world's largest car market - snap up more than 10m vehicles a year.
Looking on the bright side, perhaps the boon to the local economy from all those over-priced instant noodles will make a small contribution to closing the country's wealth gap.

Wholly Wasted!Submitted by rlw on Wed, 10/10/2012 - 21:15
A recent airing of National Public Radio's Science Friday called the Ugly Truth About Food Waste in America made my jaw drop!!!!
-40% of the food produced in the U.S. is thrown out
-That equates to $165 billion of food in the trash
-The amount of food wasted today, is 50% more than what was wasted in the mid-70's
Are you picturing mounds and mounds of food like in Shel Silverstein's poem, "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout?" How about a few more facts...

Easy or Make-Ahead Weeknight MealsSubmitted by rlw on Thu, 09/20/2012 - 08:31
The beginning of the school year is always busy for us. Pete is adjusting to a different schedule of teaching, the kids are back in school with Fall activities, and I have a variety of school and community commitments. I rely on easy or make-ahead meals to get us through the craziness! Here are a few of our current favorites:
School Lunch TimeSubmitted by rlw on Thu, 09/13/2012 - 07:29
I've been absent for a while. First we were packing in all of the end-of-summer adventures, getting ready for school and this week I've been helping with the start of school. Much of my time has been assisting with the lunch shifts. I'm happy to say that there were no tears this year and a larger cafeteria space and individual seats provides for a more subdued environment (at least I haven't left with my head spinning like in previous years).
As I get organized and back into the swing of writing, I share with you school lunch idea links, because if you are like me, I am trying to get back into the swing of packing and sending the lunchboxes out the door.

Radish Leaf PestoSubmitted by rlw on Sat, 07/21/2012 - 11:03
One of our quests this summer is to find ways to use all aspects of the produce grown in our garden. We've been harvesting lots of radishes and I thought if I can make a good pesto from mixed greens and garlic scapes, then might as well try radish greens. Mixed together with quinoa veggie curls and a garden side salad, it made another fabulous fresh and fast summer meal!

BACK PAIN AT WORK ? – Here are 10 prevention techniques
Back pain plagues many of us. It is remarkable to think that 60-90 percent of Americans will experience at least one back injury in their lifetime. Furthermore once a back injury has been sustained, the frequency of feeling back pain can increase.
Common causes for back pain and injuries can be attributed to heavy lifting or over rotating the back while at work. Other work related injuries come from poor posture, improperly carrying bags and going above and beyond your limits. We want to help you be more mindful of how you can prevent back injury and back pain at work.
- Get Comfortable – Your office is your home away from home. In fact, some spend more of their day at work than at home. Be sure to wear the right shoes, sit in the right chair and configure your desk the right way so as to limit strain on your body.
- Use Proper Lifting Techniques – Whether or not your job requires a lot of lifting, always be sure to lift with your knees and not your back. Doing this will limit the strain on your back.
- Minimize Twisting While Lifting – When lifting an object, avoid or minimize twisting motions. Lift straight up, then turn your whole body while firmly hugging the item.
- Slow Down – Don't over do yourself. Either ask for help or try to reduce the amount of weight lifted when possible. Take that extra trip or two for your back's sake. Give your back more time for recovery between lifts.
- Take Micro Breaks – The average person does not take enough short breaks throughout their workday. Standing up and stretching your body every half-hour can make a difference in how you feel and function. ?Too much sitting can cause strain on the disks in your back.
- Drink More Water – The average person does not drink enough water. Be sure to drink a generous amount of water each day to keep your intervertebral disks functioning at their best. Our bodies are comprised primarily of water. The more we drink, the more fluid and less stiff our bodies perform.
- Stretch Before Work – If your job requires manual labor, then you should be stretching before and throughout your work day. This will help prevent injuries to muscles and connective tissues as it will cause your muscles to become more relaxed and enhance your back's alignment.
- Get Adequate Rest – When we are tired, our posture suffers and we are less alert. Consider consulting a doctor to determine your ideal sleeping position. This will help you sleep better and reduce discomfort in your back.
- Strengthen Abdominal Muscles – The most important muscle group to exercise for back pain are the abs. Incorporate abdominal and core strengthening exercises to your workouts.
- Reduce Stress – Find ways to reduce stress in your life. Undue stress causes tension in your upper body which makes you more prone to back injury.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) may have told you that you have been paid too much benefit and they may have asked you to pay it back. This is called a benefit overpayment.
The DWP will usually collect benefit overpayments by:
The type of action that the DWP takes depends on your circumstances.
National Debtline can give you more help and information about dealing with these types of debts.
Benefit overpayments for more advice and information.
If you receive certain benefits, you may have taken out a budgeting loan, short-term advance or budgeting advance. The way the debt is recovered depends upon whether you still receive benefits. If you still receive benefits, the debt usually needs to be treated as a priority. This is because the DWP has the power to make deductions from your ongoing benefits before you get them. Sometimes, you may be able to treat the debt as a non-priority, for example if you no longer receive any benefits because you are working.
See Budgeting Loans and new-style advances for more advice and information.

Complete Divine
Frightful Presence: Creatures of less than 12 HD within 30 feet of an attacking phantom wolf must succeed on a DC 24 Will save or be frightened for 3d6 rounds. An opponent that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to that same phantom wolf's frightful presence for 24 hours.
Incorporeal Traits: A phantom wolf is harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons, spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. It has a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source, except for force effects or attacks made with ghost touch weapons. It can pass through solid objects, but nor force effects, at will. Its attacks ignore natural armor, armor, and shields, but deflection bonuses and force effects work normally against them. An incorporeal creature always moves silently and cannot be heard with listen checks if it doesn't wish to be.
Incorporeal Subtype
Some creatures are incorporeal by nature, while others (such as those that become ghosts) can acquire the incorporeal subtype. An incorporeal creature has no physical body. It can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons or creatures that strike as magic weapons, and spells, spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities. It has immunity to all nonmagical attack forms. Even when hit by spells, including touch spells or magic weapons, it has a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source (except for positive energy, negative energy, force effects such as magic missile, or attacks made with ghost touch weapons). Non-damaging spell attacks affect incorporeal creatures normally unless they require corporeal targets to function (such as the spell implosion) or they create a corporeal effect that incorporeal creatures would normally ignore (such as a web or wall of stone spell). Although it is not a magical attack, a hit with holy water has a 50% chance of affecting an incorporeal undead creature.
An incorporeal creature's natural weapons affect both in incorporeal and corporeal targets, and pass through (ignore) corporeal natural armor, armor, and shields, although deflection bonuses and force effects (such as mage armor) work normally against it. Attacks made by an incorporeal creature with a nonmagical melee weapon have no effect on corporeal targets, and any melee attack an incorporeal creature makes with a magic weapon against a corporeal target has a 50% miss chance except for attacks it makes with a ghost touch weapon, which are made normally (no miss chance).
Any equipment worn or carried by an incorporeal creature is also incorporeal as long as it remains in the creature's possession. An object that the creature relinquishes loses its incorporeal quality (and the creature loses the ability to manipulate the object). If an incorporeal creature uses a thrown weapon or a ranged weapon, the projectile becomes corporeal as soon as it is fired and can affect a corporeal target normally (no miss chance). Magic items possessed by an incorporeal creature work normally with respect to their effects on the creature or another target. Similarly, spells cast by an incorporeal creature affect corporeal creatures normally.
An incorporeal creature has no natural armor bonus but has a deflection bonus equal to its Charisma bonus (always at least +1, even if the creature's Charisma score does not normally provide a bonus).
An incorporeal creature can enter or pass through solid object but must remain adjacent to the object's exterior, and so cannot pass entirely through an object whose space is larger than its own. It can sense the presence of creatures or objects a square adjacent to its current location, but enemies have total concealment from an incorporeal creature that is inside an object. In order to see clearly and attack normally, a incorporeal creature must emerge. An incorporeal creature inside an object has total cover, but when it attacks a creature outside the object it only has cover, so a creature outside with a readied action could strike at it as it attacks. An incorporeal creature cannot pass through a force effect.
Incorporeal creatures pass through and operate in water as easily as they do in air. Incorporeal creatures cannot fall or take falling damage. Incorporeal creature cannot make trip or grapple attacks against corporeal creatures, nor can they be tripped or grappled by such creatures. In fact, they cannot take any physical action that would move or manipulate a corporeal being or its equipment, nor are they subject to such actions. Incorporeal creatures have no weight and do not set off traps that are triggered by weight.
An incorporeal creature moves silently and cannot be heard with Listen checks if it doesn't wish to be. It has no Strength score, so its Dexterity modifier applies to both its melee attacks and its ranged attacks. Non-visual senses, such as scent and blindsight, are either ineffective or only partly effective with regard to incorporeal creatures. Incorporeal creatures have an innate sense of direction and can move at full speed even when they cannot see.
