The Separation
by Stormy Corrin Russell
Genre: Dystopian, Sci-Fi, Romance
Release Date: April 20, 2016
n a world where men and women live on separate sides of a massive wall, seventeen year old misfit Eroyn Fairchild has always been too busy with her broken family to wonder why they live the way they do. When a man from the other side breaks through, Ero holds him hostage, hoping for a ransom large enough to pay for her Elder Grace's treatment. Things get more complicated as the man is followed by two others who make Ero question everything she's ever known about her life. As Ero searches for the truth, the lines between right and wrong blur, leaving her to choose between saving her city and saving herself.
One of the things I love about Grace is that she is the heaviest sleeper I know. So heavy, in fact, she doesn't hear me dragging a thrashing body through the front door at two in the morning. For the first time in my life, I consider it lucky that we live on the outskirts of the north side. If we didn't, I would never have been able to get it this far without attracting attention. A loud, confused sound starts to come from the net, so I kick it firmly.
"Shut up," I hiss, looking around nervously. I'm not worried about Grace rousing, but I don't want the neighbors waking up and noticing my noisy cargo. I kick twice more, as hard as I can. Silence, finally. With a sigh, I wipe my arm across my forehead, getting rid of the sweat beading there. I sink down on the couch, staring at the large lump inside the net on my living room floor unblinkingly. Little red flowers are blooming all over the heavy white plastic, and they grow quickly. It's blood, I realize with a sick feeling. It's seeping through from the inside and leaking onto the clean white carpet of our house. It can't be real. It just can't be.
I see Almond cut across the room and sniff at the lump with caution. With one movement, I scoop him up and press him to my chest in horror. For the first time, I realize the danger of what I've just done. I've invited a monster into my house.
I've made a horrible, horrible mistake.
It takes Luna ten minutes to get here five minutes faster than usual but it feels like hours. She lets herself in the back door quietly, but I rush into the kitchen to meet her.
"Where's Grace?" she asks with urgency, dropping her medical bag on the kitchen table.
"What? No, I … this isn't about Grace," I stutter. I open my mouth once, then again, but it's no use. Nothing is coming out, so I turn on my heel and tiptoe into the living room. Luna wordlessly follows, eyeing the netted form. I kneel next to it, holding my breath. With shaking hands, I slide the knife into the plastic and pull it upwards slowly. I know what it's going to reveal when I pull the plastic away, but it still makes my breath leave my lungs in an audible whoosh. I can't seem to inhale again once it's gone. I hear Luna do the same next to me.
"Is it a…?" She leaves her sentence unfinished, and I nod. The small slit I cut in the plastic shows a thick arm under a rolled-up shirt, far too thin for our recently nasty winter. At the very end of the slit, I glimpse a swollen throat and a jaw covered in a dark shadow of hair. A chill runs down my spine and my stomach turns.
"Is he alive?" Luna asks, her voice small.
"I … I think so." I stare at the floor guiltily. "I kicked him pretty hard to shut him up." She scoots closer and with trembling fingers folds back the plastic to see his side, where most of the blood is coming from.
"Cut the rest of it off him," she tells me quietly. I stare at her in shock.
"But, he––" She cuts me off with a look.
"He isn't dead yet, but he will be if I don't stop the blood loss."
I swallow hard, and comply.

'It's scary being called the new Kate Moss': Cara Delevingne talks about being the next big thing as she poses for Pepe
- Brand celebrates 40th birthday this year
- Campaign shot by Josh Olins stars Mia Goth and Jeremy Young
- Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller and Edie Campbell have all been Pepe girls
British denim brand Pepe Jeans London is celebrating its 40th birthday in style ... with an achingly hip street-style advertising campaign featuring Cara Delevingne.
Model of the year Cara poses alongside bright young things actress Mia Goth, 19, and model Jeremy Young, 21, on the roads of Notting Hill in the 'Have You Seen Pepe' campaign, shot around the streets of Portobello where the jeans brand first came to life four decades ago.
The campaign shot by British fashion photographer Josh Olins and styled by Claire Richardson draws on some of West London's most iconic backdrops as well as local boozers and pretty parks highlighting the brand's affinity with the eclectic area.
Cara Delevingne, Mia Goth and Jeremy Young are the stars of the latest Pepe Jeans London campaign
In the pictures this crew of beautiful people travel from the culture-clash streets of Portobello through to the ornately manicured vistas of Kensington Park in their mission to find the mysterious 'Pepe', dressed - naturally - in seriously cool denim.
20 year-old Cara is following in the footsteps of her friends Sienna Miller and Alexa Chung by pulling on the British brand skinnies.
Comparing her style to her friends' the blonde said on the shoot: 'My style is a mixture of both Sienna and Alexa although I'm more tom boyish than either of them. They dress very casually, but still look very chic all the time.'
Bright young things Mia, Cara and Jeremy posed around the streets of London's Notting Hill where the brand was first launched 40 years ago
Cara's advice to aspiring models: 'Don't let people knock you down, keep grounded and be happy,'
The Pepe Jeans London campaign is the latest addition to Cara's already stellar modelling CV.
The Londoner is currently the face of Burberry and Chanel, and landed her first ever British Vogue cover this month.
Her advice for asipring models? 'Don't let people knock you down, keep grounded and be happy and have a great agent ... and have a good relationship with them.
'I have a great support network, my family, my model agency Storm, people I work with in the fashion industry and of course all my followers on Twitter who stop me from feeling lonely, I love them all, they keep me grounded.'
The Pepe Jeans London campaign is the latest addition to Cara's already stellar modelling CV: she is the face of Burberry and Chanel, and landed her first ever British Vogue cover this month
Pepe Jeans London prides itself on finding fresh new advertising faces destined to become the stars of tomorrow and previous models have included Bridget Hall, Laetitia Casta and Edie Campbell
2012 was a brilliant year for the young model: she made her debut at the Victoria's Secret show in November, bagged the coveted model of the year title at the British Fashion Council awards and was labelled as 'the new Kate Moss' by epic photographer Mario Testino.
Cara says: It's crazy to be even be considered in the same calibre as Kate, it's a huge compliment but scary even to be mentioned in the same breath'
But Kate doesn't need to worry, it's Gisele's gig the model is chasing next: the Chanel cosmetics campaign is the fashion job she would love to get.
She adds: 'And I would love to design my own range of t-shirts, really beautiful and simple t-shirts,
'I love them and wear them all the time and I can never find really plain ones. The devil is in the detail.'

The 'Have You Seen Pepe?' campaign shot by Josh Olins features uses the eclectic Portobello Road and its shops and landmarks as a backdrop
VIDEO: Watch Cara & Co. on the hunt for their friend 'Pepe'
Starting life on the streets of London's Notting Hill, it didn't take long before the capital's most trend-savvy hipsters were flocking to Portobello Market to lay their hands on a pair of the most in-demand jeans of the day.
Detail-rich denims with an unswerving attention to fit and fabrication helped set Pepe Jeans London apart from the swathe of bland and anonymous jeans brands of the time. Visionary and market redefining collections have come to define Pepe Jeans London, from Kinetic Denim, the first resin-coated denim on the market, and TrueSize, the first non-shrink raw denim, through to the Tru-Blu® collection which uses zero chemicals and slashes the amount
of water used in the laundering process.
Bridget Hall as a fresh face modelling for Pepe Jeans in the 1980s
This commitment to denim-led innovation continues to inform the design spirit of the company 40 years later.
In 1984 Pepe Jeans London landed on U.S. soil. Encouraged by immediate Stateside success and fuelled by an appetite to spread the brand message in a sexy and cool way they hired the most celebrated fashion photographer of the decade, Bruce Weber, to shoot what was their biggest ever ad campaign at the time.
This inaugural campaign with Weber helped propel ascending model Bridget Hall to the supermodel stratosphere and set a precedent in the firm's ability to find fresh new advertising faces destined to become the stars of tomorrow.
Cinema and TV campaigns followed. From performance artist Leigh Bowery's extravagantturn in front of the camera to Raindance, a 90-second love story filmed between Nevada and Notting Hill and set to the bass-rattling soundtrack of The Smiths' iconic anthem How Soon Is Now, each campaign has left an indelible mark in the annals of fashion advertising.
Brit it girl of the moment Cara Delevingne and future film starlet Mia Goth are the latest in the long line of celebs who have appeared in the campaigns. From Jason Priestley, Laetitia Casta, Donovan Leitch and Ashton Kutcher, to Sienna Miller, Cristiano Ronaldo and Alexa Chung and Edie Campbell, Pepe Jeans London has always had a passion for discovering new talent.

Choose your cultured chocolate pearls from our great selection of shapes and drillings: chocolate keishi pearls, potato pearls, rice ovals, coin shaped pearls, wire-hole pearls and more! Be aware that chocolate freshwater pearls are most likely dyed and the color may fade over time. In general, pearls are sensitive to acids, dryness and extreme humidity. In other words, take care of your chocolate pearls like the sweet treats they are. Before cultured pearls were first farmed, pearls were comparable to real estate in financial value. While not precious, cultured pearls still offer fashion value and timeless style!

Graphology is the study of handwriting in order to try to infer a person's character. It is a controversial subject and many people consider it a pseudoscience, but rightly or wrongly some companies still use it as part of their hiring strategy.
Graphology comes from the words grapho- (from the Greek γραφή, "writing") and logos (from the Greek λόγος, "word"). There are other words formed from the same root: Graphopathology, Graphomaniac, Graphistic, Graphopsychology, Psychographology, Graphometric, Graphometry, Graphoanalysis, Graphotechnology, Micrographia.
It is primarily used as a recruiting tool to screen candidates during the evaluation process. Many studies have been conducted to assess its effectiveness to predict personality and job performance. Recent studies testing the validity of using handwriting for predicting personality traits and job performance have been consistently negative.
Rowan Bayne, a British psychologist who has written several studies on graphology, summarized his view of the appeal of graphology: "It's very seductive because at a very crude level someone who is neat and well behaved tends to have neat handwriting", adding that the practice is "useless... absolutely hopeless".
For me, it's a bit like horoscopes. Fun, but not to be taken seriously. Here are some of the things that graphologists believe:-

Thank you Celestian, it loads just fine now. Two things from my quick testing..
The drop down menus are not there. Clicking the top menu scrolls through the SAVE, IMMUNITIES, ect, but no drop down menus below it.
You CAN, however, add an effect, and the ones I tested worked. BUT..when you close the add effect window on an item, the effect does not show immediately on the item. It you close the item window and re-open it, the effect is shown. The effect is shown in the combat tracker (after equiping) and works as advertised.
When adding an effect to the abilities tab, the same thing happens, except closing the character window does not help, when you re-open it you see a blank effect. When you add the pc to the combat tracker, however, the effect is shown there.
So...works, but it doesn't look like it works, if that makes sense. Thanks again for your work on this, it really is an indispensable extension.

I also think the combobox issue is connected to this problem since it's nothing but a window manipulation in the style of a combobox (it's not a combobox API control).
As they push through more updates I'll continue to work on these to make sure they function as they do in FGC.---

Excellent and thanks again.
I did have a wild idea.. Is it feasible to assign an effect to an area on a map? Or perhaps an area around a token on a map? I suspect the answer is no, but it's worth throwing the idea out there.

Does not seem to work properly. I am coding a simple ring of protection, I get this in the chat log when I equip the ring
Advanced effect ['Ring of Protection;STR:1;"] [to Tibbs] [by Ring of Protection]
That is one line, I entered saves for all of the abilities and entered a bonus of 1 for AC, first of all should it not specify saves? It looks like its boosting the entire stat bonus, second, it does not boost anything. The chat log says its applied, but when I roll there is no change

Anatomy of the Neck
The neck or cervical spine is made up of 7 vertebra, each separated by small gel like discs. Movement in the neck comes from a pair of joints on each vertebra which glide against either the vertebra above or below. These joints are called facet or Z joints and enable the head and neck to bend forward, extend backwards, rotate left and right as well as lateral bend to the left and right. The spinal cord passes through the vertebra and as it passes down to the lower back, nerve roots arise off the cord on both sides (left and right) at each level of the cervical vertebra. These nerve roots supply sensation, movement etc to the shoulder, arm, forearm, hand and fingers/thumb.
Neck Pain and Pinched Nerves
People often talk about having a "pinched nerve" in their neck when they have localised neck or neck/shoulder pain. This is a misnomer, it is possible to have a pinched nerve, but it is usually caused by more serious factors such as a disc injury, moderate to severe osteoarthritis in the cervical spine, displaced cervical vertrabe, a space occupying lesion (ie. tumour). This results in referred pain such as pins and needles, tingling, numbness, weakness into the arm, forearm, hand, fingers.
Mechanical neck pain, that is "conditions causing neck pain with or without referral into the shoulder and upper arm" (Aker, et.al, 1996, British Medical Journal) usually has local neck and/or shoulder pain without numbness, tingling, burning, weakness. Mechanical neck pain is the correct term for localised neck/shoulder pain as opposed to a "pinched nerve in the neck". Its causes are varied but can include restricted movement of the facet joints, muscle spasm, mild osteoarthritis, minor trauma (such as mild whiplash) among other causes. Research shows that mechanical neck pain usually responds well to conservative therapy such as spinal manipulation combined with exercise rehabilitation.

The Choice of Hercules by A. C. Grayling
A.C. Grayling seems to be a man on a mission to teach us the good values of humanism. Of course, much worse quests can be imagined: not only do I agree with Grayling in principle, I also think he does a great job promoting these views with the public. However, with this being the third such guide that I'm reading from Grayling, I find myself a bit fed up with reading the same messages again and again.
In 2008's The Choice of Hercules, Grayling starts off with the choice given to Hercules, as portrayed in many a classic drawing (see below). Hercules had to choose between two wives: a beautiful one that symbolizes duty, and in most generations has been interpreted as some form of Church piety, and an even more beautiful one with whom Hercules would have had much bodily pleasure. Hercules chose the former, but Grayling goes out to ask – how do we really know which of these choices is better? Could it be that we do not really have to choose between the two but rather have them both?
From this point onwards, Grayling goes out to propose his take on how to live a good life and thus be able to make our own herculean choices. The answer is divided into the three parts that make the book up: the first deals with the personal life, the second with the issues society faces in general, and the third makes the argument that a truly good life can only take place in a good society and therefore goes to discuss the makings of a good society in depth. You can argue the connection between where Grayling ends up and his starting point with Hercules is a bit loose, but regardless, The Choice of Hercules presents an inspiring and illuminating framework for living the good life. A framework that, by the way, does not require its practitioner to believe in imaginary friends and anything else out of this world.
My problem with The Choice of Hercules is that I recently came off a Grayling book that tried to pretty much do the same thing, The Good Book. Thus I felt quite frustrated when I happened to reread the same things I read in The Good Book, while on the other hand feeling totally fixated and served an excellent lesson when presented with ideas I haven't got to read in The Good Book (either because that book doesn't deal with them or because I never got to read The Good Book from start to finish). For example, reading on the need to live the examined life bored the hell out of me, while reading Grayling's views on family values and sex had me totally transfixed.
You may argue the problem is entirely mine, for The Good Book was published after The Choice of Hercules, and therefore I was reading the books the wrong way around. True; on the other hand, I will not be the first to point out Grayling has been writing the same book again and again for quite a while. With that said, The Choice of Hercules stands over the Good Book in several important factors: page number wise, it is a very digestible as well as easy to consume quantity wise; and language wise, it utilizes Grayling superb mastery of the English language to express itself in plain language rather than the Good Book's annoying bible copycat style. Since I did not read The Good Book in its entirety I cannot, however, comment on which of the two is winning the day on matters of scope and breadth.
Overall: I can only give The Choice of Hercules 3 out of 5 stars, and even that comes with an effort. However, if this was my first ever Grayling I would have probably given it something like 4 to 4.5 stars; to the right reader The Choice of Hercules can be a truly inspiring read.

I haven't done a make-up-slash-tutorial post in quite a while and had an urge to do one today on a look that has become really popular lately. 'Ombre' according to the French dictionary here, means, 'shade/shaded/shading'. In fashion and beauty, ombre relates more to graduation of colour in which one shade turns in to another shade. I'm sure you all know how much ombre is used in the world of fashion and beauty now, especially in relation to hair, nails and clothing.
It's also been massive on the catwalk as well this year. There has been so many colour combinations and somehow I don't think the look will be disappearing any time soon.
One look of ombre I've really taken a liking to is, 'ombre lips'. I've seen tonnes of Youtube tutorials surfacing on to the internet and loads of people have been trying the look out and posting pictures on Instagram so I thought I'd give it a go.
I don't think I'm that adventurous to try out some of the colour combinations I've seen (e.g. Orange and Pink/ Green and Pink) but I love Red ombre lips to achieve that velvety look. I have to say it isn't super quick to achieve and does take some time and precision to get it looking really good if you're not a professional make-up artist like me. Even though I've done it a few times now, I still find it tricky. Above is a picture of the products I use to create the lip colour.
The first step, I feel is really important. Before you apply any colour, the lips MUST be really hydrated. Otherwise when you apply the matte lipstick on top, it will accentuate any cracked or dry areas on your lips. I use, Blistex Relief Cream on my lips for about half an hour before I apply the lipstick. This stuff is really amazing at moisturizing the lips and has a nice tingly feeling. Most importantly, it gets all the dry skin to become really soft so you can just sweep it away.
Next, I use, Maybelline Coloursensational Lip Liner in number 547, 'Pleasure Me Red' in which I begin to outline my lips. Even though I have a steady hand I find it hard to get the lip-liner to look just right so make sure you take your time and ALWAYS make sure the pencil is super-duper sharp otherwise you won't get a nice line to show-off your lip shape.
The lipstick I use for this look is one of my all-time favourites, MAC's Matte Lipstick in, 'Ruby Woo'. I love this shade, for me it's the perfect colour for a distinctive red lip. Once you've lined your lips, apply this to the rest of your lips being careful around the edges. It is a matte lipstick so you probably will find that it drys out your lips when you wear it all day but it does last hours.
To achieve the ombre look, in the corners of both the upper and lower lips I use, MAC's Lip Pencil in, 'Currant' which is a dark Plum/Purple shade. Do not go to far in the center with this as you want that to be Red only. Make sure you use a lip brush to blend the two shades together and once you've done that you should be left with a lovely ombre lip!
My finished look is below, it's still not perfect but I'm hoping practice will fix that.
My finished look is below, it's still not perfect but I'm hoping practice will fix that.
Have any of you tried an ombre lip?

"Another thing to keep in mind
is the nature of the emergency. If there is a need to evacuate, and
these kits are designed for that in mind, do you want to wear a bright
red backsack with the words "Survival Kit" on it? It screams prepared to
those who aren't and may attract unwanted attention to yourself. These
kits certainly have some value, but I personally feel that making your
own is better. Blend in by using colors that don't say tactical or I'm
prepared. Use blue or black as an example.
The type of backsack/backpack or other as well may scream prepared, such as a kit surrounded by MOLLE attachment points. Don't go to either extremes such as going all out tactical or all out I am helpless and don't know better except I am prepared as well with my big bright red survival kit. Be the 'grey man'.
the size under control as well. If you carry a very large
mountaineering pack in the middle of the city where there is looting and
muggings and all manner of lawlessness, you WILL be noticed."

This is their third collection, continuing the brand's clear vision of wanting to create small collections of classic, timeless pieces with a focus on top quality materials, all based on a loosely modernist aesthetic. The attention to detail can be seen within the garments, highlighting Phil and Paul's desire to work with good manufacturers and use the highest quality fabrics at their disposal. Focusing on the key pieces in every man's wardrobe, sharp suiting, shirting and knitwear epitomises the well considered collection.
Simple clean lines and classic shapes celebrate the established Real Stars Are Rare trademark look. Introducing a new line of tailored suits in collaboration with Fox Brothers, the colour palette of the collection ranges from classic black, grey and soft navy to a handful of bold colours such as green and blood red within its new knitwear pieces.
Suit: Double breasted suit in black wool flannel
Jumper: Shetland Crewneck jumper in Heather
Heavyweight and multi-textured outerwear is complemented with 100% cotton shirts, where prints such a floral or paisley are safely playing their part along the more simple pink, indigo or sky blue coloured pieces. Casual looks are explored further with a new heavier 100% cotton fabric introduced within the new short sleeved Henley t-shirts, making this everyday wearable collection into a league of its own. Single and double breasted jackets with slim boot cut and straight parallel leg trousers complete a refined look.
Rollneck Jumper: Wool/Cashmere blend
Grey Wool Trousers: Parallel Trousers in charcoal houndstooth
Shoes: Bass Weejun Penny Loafer
Single Breasted Suit: Single Breasted Jacket in Navy Wool/Mohair with tapered trousers
Shirt: Dress Shirt Dark Paisley print
Hat: Felt hat in Tan with white band
Shoes: Bass Weejun Penny Loafers
The full collection is completed with a range of limited edition handmade hats, in collaboration with a London based designer BySju. Flourishing with tradition, this collaboration aims to infuse the long-established with the modern.
All clothes available online and at Tonic on Portobello Road, London.

My father served in Korea and Vietnam. He doesn't talk about his service very much because it was so darned bad. There's a Bronze Star in a bureau and some paperwork locked away in a box. But he's proud, and I'm proud of him, and thankful he came home to us.
My friend's husband served in Iraq and came home safely. He lost colleagues and friends at the Pentagon.
My classmate's father was one of the Vietnam POW's who never made it home.
Bad people who do bad things touch each of us. But thanks to good people who choose to do the right thing, we in America can live free.
I hope you appreciate just how good we have it.

This photo could have been taken in any decade since the second world war. It was taken yesterday in Marden. In my 'back garden'.
The beauty of the lower Weald – the farming land broadly defined by the floodplain of the Beult – is that it's like time has stood still. If you blot out the cars and the planes, most views round here haven't changed much in a century.
The photo is taken at the Weald of Kent Ploughing Match, which is a bit of an institution in the Wealden farming community. There's a trade show and a farmers' market, displays of hunting hounds and hawking centres, and of course the obligatory terrier racing. But at heart it's still a ploughing match (and, it seems to me, a way to get your fields ploughed for free if you volunteer to host the competition!)
We had a May's Kitchen / Turners Cider stall in the market. Over the course of the day we caught up with pretty much everyone we know locally. We sold out of cider. May's damson gin was a hit. The kids saw enough tractors in a day to give them tractor-dreams for a year.
It looks like next year's match is back in Marden and Kent's hosting the nationals too. We hope to be there for both.

From hot-desking, the garden shed to the cloud – Giles O'Halloran talks us through less conventional ways of working.
If you are setting up your own business, or perhaps intending to work as a freelancer, you need to consider where you will work and how you will work. Sometimes the classic office location may not be an affordable or suitable option and a client may not provide a place for you to work either.
In the same light, flexible-working and flexible-work are terms that are often banded around but either misunderstood or simple discounted. If you opt to run your business, don't simply fall into the trap of thinking you either work from home or a work location separate to your home. There are other options, you can have flexibility but it will depend on the nature and type of your business.
Your Workshop:
Wherever you opt to work, it will often be your work place and where you sell what you do – therefore, a true work-shop. It could be a location or a laptop, but make sure the environment you choose is safe and suits the type of work you do. It does not need to be an office or some other physical location, but this is your starting point to think about where you can work and best sell the work you do.
Mobile working:
Lots of people now work from multiple locations. Each week they may spend time at home, at a shared centre, an office or a client site. It might therefore suit you and the service you provide to consider this as an option. It keeps you on the go and varies your environment. Clients often prefer people who are flexible, mobile and enjoy working face-to-face.
It may sound comical but it actually makes sense. People are creating mini-offices or workshops in their garden sheds. It means they work from home but separate themselves from home – both mentally and physically. It has really worked for some people getting this divide, and it is quite easy to set up. It is worth considering if you want to keep costs low but have a physical work location close to home.
If you have the opportunity to work at a shared service location, such as an enterprise hub or even a shared office suite, this can also be a great option for you and your business. Be aware of cost, but being able to mix with potential clients or business partners means it could be a great way to develop your business, build relationships and create opportunities. Small businesses and freelancers mixing together can often share the burden of costs, help one another with business development and even pass business on.
Virtual Office:
If your business is online and you have a website, chat technology, social media, blogs etc … why have an office at all? You could be one of the growing number of people who has everything based online in the Cloud. Simply travelling between locations with connections to the cloud, you can use mobile devices to run your business, use free apps or cloud services for office docs and cut admin costs/burdens by doing so. It is very much like mobile working but the Cloud is at the heart of your business.
So, before you simply opt for a home office or renting/purchasing office space… think about what really works for you, how you work and the work your business will do.

Public/Private Decisions Price Levels and Supply/Demand
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Discuss the situation by writing the solutions, and then show the solutions
Scenario One
In the early part of the last decade, there was an overproduction of coffee. The price dropped so low that producers' costs were higher than the market price. The reason this happened was that market prices became high before this, and the supply of coffee increased substantially. In the meantime, demand for coffee and everything else remained the same. Price Level 1.
Coffee prices came down again, at first overshooting the former equilibrium price, throwing the coffee market into confusion. In the meantime, gourmet coffee houses began appearing, which began charging a premium for coffee in the period of falling prices. Price Level 2.
Gourmet coffee houses tend to open in high-rent areas and cater to higher income consumers. Because of the change they created for taste and preferences and the higher income market, the gourmet coffee houses had a win-win in a period of falling wholesale prices and increasing retail prices. Price Level 3.
But in the middle of the decade, the party was over, and wholesale prices started increasing because of some shortages caused by weather and the rising overall market prices again. Where is the new equilibrium price? Price Level 4.
Explain the changes in the supply and demand curves based on the above information. Draw a graph showing how the changes affect the price levels, supply and demand.
Scenario Two
You have been asked to discuss the differences between the microeconomic definitions of supply and demand and the macroeconomic differences of aggregate supply and demand. Discuss what determines supply and demand and aggregate supply and aggregate demand. Explain what causes movements along the curve and shifts in the curve for supply and demand and aggregate supply and aggregate demand (make sure that you include price as a variable). Include whether this is an example of the microeconomic definition of supply and demand or the macroeconomic definition of aggregate supply and demand. Most importantly, did this cause a shift in the curves or a movement along the curves? What happened to equilibrium price, supply, demand, aggregate supply or aggregate demand? Describe your graphs.
- After Hurricane Katrina, what happened to the price of fish?
- After the development of the microchip, what happened to the price of computers?
- After the government raised tariffs on imported cheese, what happened to the price of domestic cheese?
- Polyester suits have become trendy again. What happens to their price?
- Internet auction sites are becoming more popular, and people are using them more and more.
- A new health report came out that said red wine lowers cholesterol.
- The government raises taxes.
- Inflation increases.
- Immigration laws are relaxed.
- The government increases spending.
Scenario Three
The PPF curve shows the economic choices a country can make about production given scarce resources, a given technology, and a given quantity of inputs. Assume you are a developing country, producing food and clothing at maximum capacity. What could happen when foreign investors start investing in your country?
Discuss what type of foreign investments would be best for the economy's PPF. What are the opportunity costs of these decisions?
Include what will happen to private and public choices as the economy grows. Support your discussion of these issues and consequences using at least 2 graphs.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com October 10, 2019, 6:04 am ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
Scenario One
In scenario one, when there was an overproduction of coffee, the demand remains the same but there is an increase is supply. When there is such a situation there is a right shift in market supply. This leads to an increase in the quantity demanded and a decrease in price. Next, when the gourmet coffee houses began appearing and charging a premium for coffee, there is a change in demand in the period and the demand increases. The demand curve shifts to the right and at the same price more quantity is demanded.
In the graph one both these effects are illustrated:
When the supply of coffee increases, the supply curve shifts from position S0 to S1. This leads to a decline in price to Price 1. After this, when the demand increases and the demand curve moves from position D0 to D1, there is an increase in price to Price 2. When the gourmet coffee houses began selling coffee to high rent areas and high income consumers, the effect is that because of high income of coffee drinkers, the demand for coffee increases. The demand curve shifts to the right and at the same price more coffee is demanded. This increases the quantity of coffee at equilibrium and also the price of coffee at equilibrium. When the wholesale prices begin increasing because of shortages caused by poor weather and higher market prices, the supply of coffee falls and the supply curve moves to the left. This means that the same quantity is available at higher prices and that the supply of coffee has decreased.
On the second graft, when the coffee houses tend to open in high rent areas, the demand increases or the demand curve D1 moves to D2. The new price is Price 3. This price is the new ...
Solution Summary
The response provides you a structured explanation of shifts in demand and supply curves . It also gives you the relevant references.

Flag of Pula - Image by Željko Heimer, 5 September 2009
See also:
Pula (Italian, Pola), while not the capital of the Istria County, is its largest town and urban center, situated at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula. It has just under 63,000 inhabitants, most of them living in the town itself.
The town was settled in the Roman times, that is more than obvious by the huge well-preserved arena dominating the town's landscape. In modern times, it began it grow in importance when the Austrian started using the port for naval purposes; shipbuilding and military-related industry started there in the 18th century.
Željko Heimer, 22 February 2004
The symbols of Pula are described in the Town Statutes Statut Grada Pule (pročišćeni tekst), adopted on 7 November 2006 by the Town Council and published on 8 November 2006 in the Town official gazette Službene novine Grad Pule, No. 9.
This is repeated in the current Town Statutes Statut Grada Pula - Pola, adopted on 14 July 2009 by the Town Council and published on 15 July 2009 in the Town official gazette Službene novine Grad Pule / Bollettino ufficiale della Città di Pola, No. 7.
The flag is in proportions 2:1, green with an off-centered yellow cross.
This design is in opposition with the regulations prescribing that the flag should be of one color with the coat of arms in the middle. I do not know what is the official status of the flag, but it is extensivly used in the town, including on public buildings and local administration.

Coat of arms of Pula, regular and ceremonial versions - Images by Željko Heimer, 6 July 2000
The coat of arms (municipal website) is the historical coat of arms of Pula, made of a green shield with a golden Latin cross throughout.
The ceremonial version of the coat of arms adds an ornamental Renaissance border to the shield, with curls at the upper corners and a stylized fleur-de-lis and a white ribbon at the top.
Ströhl (Städte-Wappen von Ö-U, 1904) [stl04] shows the same coat of arms, referring to its antiquity. At that time a Laubkrone (trefoiled crown) was used atop the shield.
Željko Heimer, 5 September 2009
Former flag and arms of Pula - Images by Željko Heimer, 22 February 2004
After the Second World War, the town used a blue flag with the coat of arms in the middle.
The coat of arms was a blue shield with a white representation of the arena, waves in the base and a red five-pointed star in the upper sinister corner. I believe that these symbols were adopted in the late 1960s or early 1970s and abandoned in the early 1990s. A half a dozen of stone carved coat of arms of this period,together with some older ones, which were put before mostly above the entrances of public buildings, are preserved in the Pula Museum, located in the fort atop a hill in the middle of the town.
Željko Heimer, 22 February 2004
The flag was also used vertically, as shown on a photo made locally on 5 July 1986 by the late Anton Jansen, editor of Vlaggen [vlg].

Uljanik is a big company built around a shipyard in Pula, to which the club is connected. The year of the establishing of the shipyard, 1856, is written in the middle of the emblem.

Eating clean: an experiment becomes routinePosted: April 18th, 2010 | Author: colleen | Filed under: family, food | No Comments »
So I gave up processed foods for Lent. Well, with the exception of diet Coke and booze (although you can argue that booze doesn't really count because it doesn't contain preservatives). Anyway … I've never felt better. I sleep better, my skin is better. And it really works well with my OCD (those of you that know me know about the germs issue – this lets me focus on something else, but admittedly it could easily become an issue also. Hey, at least I don't hoard).
A coworker turned me on to Jamie Oliver. If you haven't already heard of him, please check him out. He's amazing. What he's trying to do in Huntington, I wish the entire country would do. My kids are NOT going to like the way their food choices are about to change at home. Pay particular attention to episode 2 (available on hulu.com). The part where he makes chicken nuggets to show kids what they are made of is sickening.
I'm still eating clean about 90% of the time (hell yes Bang Bang Shrimp at Bonefish) and the DH is in on it too. Ping and Pong can eat up what's left of their garbage snacks and then SHAZAM! It's going to be interesting.

Cody Bloomsburg, from the UM School of Journalism, has posted a fascinating look at the self-proclaimed Constitution Caucus at the Montana Legislature, a group of troglodytes headed up by the likes of Krayton Kerns, Greg Hinkle, and James Knox. What Bloomsburg's story reveals is a group of arrogant idiots, so bound by their narrow ideology, that they would actually vote against helping children who witnessed domestic violence.
The Constitution Caucus led the fight in the House to block a bill intended to provide mental health services to these children, because, according to Kerns, "the constitutional vote on this is no because it will grow government." Presumably, Kerns and his ilk drove to Helena on private roads, reject their government laptops and health insurance, and refuse to use the desks provided for them in the session. After all, none of those things are specifically, literally listed as government function in the Constitution, and must be rejected.
For these politicians, the term "constitutional" is much like the way in which they see "family values" or "patriotism": there is only one definition of each term and it just happens to be theirs. No matter how narrow or unsupported, their vision of the Constitution is the only one that matters, even if the mental health and futures of children need to be sacrificed along the way.
And that's the irony. These self-appointed defenders of the Constitution and the vision of the Founding Fathers were exactly the kind of people that Jefferson and Madison, Franklin and Adams would have not wanted in charge of government. They rejected unthinking ideologues and imagined a country governed by thoughtful leaders, willing to compromise and provide for the general welfare of the nation. If the health of children isn't part of general welfare, it's hard to know what is.
When I visited Washignton D.C. this Christmas, I was struck by the words on the southeast wall of the Jefferson Memorial:
I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.
The human mind has progressed since 1787, and Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers were wise enough to realize that we would become more enlightened as American history progressed. It's unbelievable that people like Kerns and his crew of Beck-inspired patriots want to go the other direction.

Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial Fibrillation Atrial fibrillation, also known as "A-fib" is an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating. It is the most common serious abnormal heart rhyt...
A comprehensive list of today's common ailments and health conditions.
By Angela Young
Hypertension is the scientific name for high blood pressure. Hypertension affects millions of people in the United States. Once thought to only effect older people, doctors are now diagnosing young children and teens with hypertension.
The rate at which blood pushes against artery walls is what determines a person's blood pressure. High blood pressure is a symptom of heart disease because high blood pressure causes the arteries to work harder to move the blood throughout the body. Hypertension is the leading cause of stroke and a primary cause of heart attacks. Hypertension can also cause kidney failure and eye problems if left untreated.
There are two types of hypertension. Essential hypertension is what doctors call hypertension that does not have a known cause. Secondary hypertension is what doctors call hypertension when they know the root cause of the condition.
Hypertension is particularly dangerous because it can be difficult to know if a person has high blood pressure, particularly if they do not have their blood pressure taken regularly.
Symptoms of high blood pressure normally present themselves only when the blood pressure level is extremely high. Symptoms of extremely high blood pressure include vision problems, severe headache, difficulty breathing, chest pain, blood in urine, fatigue and pounding in the head, neck or ears. Symptoms of extremely high blood pressure require immediate attention from a doctor as they could be signs of hypertensive crisis, which can lead to heart attack.
There are risk factors for essential hypertension. Risk factors for essential hypertension include age, race and family history. Essential hypertension also seems to have roots in lifestyle choices, like diet and exercise. Other risk factors are diabetes, obesity, stress, insufficient amounts of potassium, calcium and magnesium, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
People who have hypertension are also salt sensitive. This means that any intake of salt that is more than what the body needs daily is too much salt. Ingesting too much salt can raise the blood pressure of someone with salt sensitivity.
Secondary hypertension has several known causes. Kidney disease is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Abnormalities or tumors can cause hypertension if the abnormalities or tumors cause the adrenal glands to secrete excess hormones that raise blood pressure. Birth control pills that contain estrogen and pregnancy can also cause secondary hypertension. In addition, any medication that might constrict blood vessels could cause hypertension.
The best way for a doctor to diagnose hypertension is through regular blood pressure checks. If there is a family history of hypertension then having a blood pressure monitor at home to do self-checks is important to monitor blood pressure levels.
If a doctor diagnoses a patient with hypertension additional tests may be necessary. The tests will help the doctor determine if there is any further damage to the heart or arteries from the hypertension.
Proper treatment of hypertension and its symptoms can greatly reduce the risk of developing further conditions due to the hypertension. The basic treatment for hypertension is usually lifestyle changes. Most patients suffering from hypertension are encouraged to quit smoking, start exercising and improve their overall diet. Reducing sodium intake and limiting alcohol consumption can make a significant difference in blood pressure levels.
There are also medications available to treat hypertension. Some doctors will begin a patient on diuretics. Diuretics can be very effective in treating hypertension. If the initial medications don't work for a patient or if the patient has an adverse reaction or has other medical conditions, doctors can prescribe another medication. ACE inhibitors are another popular form of medication doctors use to treat hypertension in patients with diabetes.

Vancouver team's District 9 tops box-office
Congrats to the Vancouver Film School where filmmaker Neill Blomkamp, his co-writer Terri Tatchell, Visual Effects Executive Producer Shawn Walsh, and 40 other members of District 9's visual effects team were all trained …
District 9, a gritty, low-budget space alien movie set in South Africa with a cast of unknowns, opened as Hollywood's No. 1 film, grossing more at the box-office its first weekend than it cost to make.
The sci-fi action thriller depicting extra-terrestrials as unwanted immigrants stranded in Johannesburg took in $37 million in North America, distributor Sony Pictures said on last Sunday.
It said District 9 cost less than $30 million to make, a modest budget by Hollywood standards.

BRMC, Karabal Nightlife, Kristin King @ The Echo 8-25-06
BRMC @ The Echo 8-25-06
We arrived at the Echo a little after 5 and there were already people there waiting in line. The sound check was originally scheduled for 4:30 PM, but ended up starting at around 7 since the monitors were late. We could hear BRMC jamming inside while we waited and they even played a new song I'd never heard before with Robert's vocals! It was awesome! We were finally let into the club at around 8. Kristin King of Pretty Vicious opened the show with a short acoustic set. Her songs sounded nice, and she was playing with Peter's guitar. She was also wearing a Love and Rockets T-shirt. Next, were Karabal Nightlife whose singer kind of looked like Patrick Dempsey. Their music was good for the most part, with some interesting guitar solos.
BRMC hit the stage at around 11 PM. They played a fairly long and loud set, which really was awesome. BRMC really turned up the volume for this gig and they were in top form. During "Spread Your Love," Peter left his mike and played in the middle of the stage. During "Whatever Happened to My Rock 'n Roll?" Peter moved to the far left side of the stage and Robert moved to the right and they switched mikes. It was cool and exciting to watch. Nick knocked off his glasses with one his sticks during one song, which made Robert laugh. I actually didn't see it, but it does sound very funny! One of the coolest parts of the show was at the end of "Heart and Soul" when both Robert and Peter were down on the stage twiddling some knobs.
Here is the setlist:
Red Eyes And Tears
Six Barrel Shotgun
US Government (original version)
Gospel Song
Love Burns
Weight Of The World
White Palms
Spread Your Love
Sympathetic Noose
Ain't No Easy Way
WHTMRNR/Punk Song
Heart + Soul

Table of Contents
If you're not sure where to start with the resume writing process, consider consulting hostess resume samples to give you an idea of the kind of information to include and format options.
By approaching the process one step at a time, you'll be able to produce a resume that presents you as a candidate who possesses the traits required to be a successful hostess. As you read on, you'll learn about the essential sections of any resume, how to mirror an employer's requirements with your qualifications, and how to avoid common mistakes.
Hostess Resume Samples
What to Include in a Hostess Resume
As you review hostess resume samples, you'll probably notice that the sections of each are basically the same. You'll also probably realize that there are two primary resume formats. These are known as the chronological format and the functional format.
The chronological style is used most often and is most familiar to hiring managers. In this format, the focus is on previous work experience. The recommended sections are:
- Contact info (name/phone/email)
- Resume summary
- Work experience
- Skills
- Education
For those with little work experience or difficult-to-explain employment gaps, the functional style may work better. In this case, the focus is on achievements rather than past positions.
Even if your job search involves responding to a help wanted sign rather than applying for a job online, it's a good idea to review not only the hostess resume samples, but a few samples of hostess job descriptions. The qualities and skills of a hostess are similar across the industry, and reviewing the job requirements will help you determine what to put on your resume.
How to Write the Hostess Resume Summary Statement
Throughout your entire resume, beginning with your summary, keep in mind that sentence fragments are preferred over complete sentences, and there's no place for first-person pronouns in your resume.
Review some of the hostess resume samples to get a feel for the tone and content of well-written summaries, and take a look at the two examples below as well:
Food service worker with experience as a room service delivery person at a 200 -bed hotel and as a counter attendant at a multiplex movie theater. Understands the importance of congenial relationships with customers and has a good memory for faces and names. Learned how to work under pressure during the rush of customers just prior to show time.
Former hostess at a restaurant chain who took orders from customers in line during rush periods. Also worked the hostess desk at David's Dining Room, taking reservations, tracking wait time, and seating customers. Resolved disputes when customers arrived late for their reservation without inconveniencing those who were on time.
How to Write the Hostess Work Experience Section
A typical job entry would look like this:
Evening hostess
Sheraton's Restaurant – Parma, OH
June 2014 to February 2015
- Booked dinner reservations for dining room that seated up to 75 guests
- Greeted guests, double checked reservation information, and showed them to their table
- At the end of the dinner rush, assisted wait staff in clearing tables and stocking side work
Since a hostess position is often a good first job for recent graduates or for college students who need a flexible schedule, it's possible you have little-to-no work experience. In that case, you may want to consider the functional format, where you can focus on your achievements. They'll be listed in a new section called "Accomplishments" that you'll insert between your summary and the work experience section.
Once again, use a hostess job description to identify skills, activities, and achievements that would be desirable to an employer and list these if you have them.
If you're just beginning your work life, focus on including experiences that relate to hostessing. For example, doing volunteer work, perhaps greeting guests at family or school functions, or any other activity that exemplifies your polite nature with strangers. A review of hostess resume samples may provide ideas.
Once you've completed the accomplishments section, you can move on to the work experience section, which, because you've already identified your accomplishments, will now be a simple list of previous jobs. If you have none to list, skip the work experience section all together.
Action Verbs to Include in Your Hostess Work Experience Section
- Greet
- Memorize
- Track
- Inform
- Assist
- Offer
- Seat
- Promote
- Update
- Communicate
- Establish
- Relay
- Clean
- Replenish
- Set
- Help
- Manage
- Direct
- Escort
By considering the above list and reviewing hostess resume samples for additional action verbs, you should be able to describe your activities in a way that will let the hiring manager see you as the ideal candidate.
How to Write the Hostess Skills Section
There are both physical and interpersonal skills that are important to the job, and following is an example of what a skills section might look like, no matter how much actual experience you have:
Physical skills:
- Able to stand during entire shift
- Able to lift up to 25 pounds when providing high chairs to parties with small children
- Able to speak clearly and loud enough to be heard when notifying customers that their table is ready
Interpersonal skills:
- Warm, friendly manner
- Through observation of tables, can quote wait times for customers
- Able to answer questions over the phone and in person in a polite manner
- Skilled at handling customer complaints
How to Write the Hostess Education Section
If your degree path happens to be in hospitality or management, be sure to mention that. Any additional courses or vocational training is of value because, even if it's not industry related, it will show your work and study ethic.
Should I Include References in my Hostess Resume
If an employer requests your references, you'll know they're interested. You can call your references to let them know to be expecting a call, and you can ask them to let you know when they've been contacted and how it went.
Ideally, you should have 3-4 work related references, preferably people for whom you've worked or reported to. It's understood that if you're looking for your first job, you'll have to look elsewhere for references. Consider asking a teacher or counselor from school, or perhaps a neighbor for whom you've done odd jobs. Family members are a no-no.
Hostess Resume Fails: Mistakes to Avoid
- Since you've decided that a resume is a good idea, make it a good one. That means take it seriously. Texting language like "I hope u like what u c" is totally unacceptable in the job-seeking world.
- Just as important as proper English is proper spelling, and spell check won't catch everything. Proofread your resume more than once, and if you can, have a friend read it for mistakes before your print off your copies. If you're applying online, once you hit the submit button, you can't take it back.
- If you had a bad experience at a previous job, don't let it show in your resume. If you're seen as a complainer, the hiring manager knows there are plenty more applications to consider.
- Since the current accepted resume standard has replaced the resume objective with the resume summary, don't attempt to tell the employer what you're looking for in a job. The idea is to be what the employer is looking for in an employee.
Job Prospects in the Hostess Industry
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment growth for all occupations for the period 2014 to 2024 to be at 7 percent. Employment of food and beverage serving and related workers is projected to be slightly higher than the average at 10 percent, but will vary by occupation. As the population continues to dine out, have food delivered, and buy take-out meals because of the convenience, more food and beverage workers will be required. Additional sources of employment will be operations inside grocery stores, cafeterias, and residential care facilities.
Because of high job turnover in the occupation, there will be a consistently large number of job openings. Industries with the highest concentration of employment are: restaurants and other eating places, drinking places, traveler accommodation, gambling industries, and special food services. The top paying industry is promoters of performing arts, sports, and similar events.

Thousands of runners are getting ready to pull on their trainers to help one of the region's biggest road runs celebrate a special landmark.
Over 5,000 runners have signed up for the Asda Foundation City of Lincoln 10K on Sunday April 17th when the event celebrates its 20th birthday.
With a flat and fun route taking in some of the Lincoln's historic sites including the cathedral, castle and Roman walls, the event has grown into a highlight on the city's sporting calendar and each year raises over £120,000 for charity.
Among the thousands taking on the challenge is plucky pensioner Gladys Tingle, of Horncastle, who is returning after completing last year's 10K to raise money for the Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance Service. Since turning 70-years-old, Gladys's fundraising efforts in aid of the service have included two marathons and a host of half marathons.
A popular feature of the 10K will be the Team Challenge - a race within a race in which groups of friends and work colleagues compete for the title of fastest team in the event.
The fun gets underway a day earlier on Saturday April 16th at the Yarborough Leisure Centre playing field when hundreds of youngsters take part in the free to enter Arena Group Lincoln Mini and Junior Run.
The 1.5km, 2.5km and 5km runs are suitable for youngsters of all abilities aged between three and 15. All the participants are encouraged to raise a small amount of money for a good cause of their choice or to support the mini and junior runs partner charity, which this year is KIDS Strut, which helps disabled children and their families.
Charlie Tatman, event manager with organisers Run For All, said: "We look forward to welcoming the runners, spectators and volunteers to what promises to be a special occasion."
Councillor Donald Nannestad, Portfolio Holder for Recreational Services and Health at City of Lincoln Council, who is taking part, said: "Everyone running or coming along to watch is in for a real treat. Lincoln is a beautiful city and the 10K is a wonderful opportunity to run through its historic streets.
"I am certainly looking forward to it and good luck to all those taking on the challenge."
Asda Foundation Manager Julie Ward said: "Happy anniversary to the City of Lincoln 10K. What a great milestone to reach. We hope that the 20th year will be a great celebration – and we look forward to thousands of people pulling on their trainers and supporting some very worthwhile causes."
Adrian Fitzpatrick, Arena Group managing director, said: "We are very proud to be again supporting the City of Lincoln mini and junior runs. They are great fun for all the family and provide the children with an opportunity to support a very worthy cause."
This year's event once more finishes outside the majestic Lincoln Cathedral with the event village will be staged in the newly-refurbished Lincoln Castle grounds. Among the attractions will be a family fun zone hosted by the Asda Foundation, along with free medal engraving for every finisher.
Many of those taking part in the City of Lincoln 10K will be raising funds for the event's partner charities which this year are the Jane Tomlinson Appeal, St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice; Macmillan Cancer Support; Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance; LIVES; brainstrust; Framework, Cerebral Palsy Sport and the Mayor of Lincoln's Charity.

Sakura in Rengeō-in
Sanjūsangen-dō is a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, although officially it is known as "Rengeō-in" which means Hall of the Lotus King. We arrived quite late in the afternoon, but thankfully the hotel was right besides this temple and we were even able to see the beautiful area in some very nice daylight. Sakura was also quite prominent in the area, which made it even better to walk around in the little garden area.

Dhaka, Jan 10 :
Leaders of the ruling Awami League party and opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in the country's Gaibandha district have come together to protect the minority Hindu community in that area.
Houses of Hindus were attacked, torched and ransacked in various places of the country after the Jan 5 general elections.
On Jan 6, several homes and business establishments of Hindus were attacked in Kuptala union of the district's Sadar upazila (sub-district), bdnews24.com reported Friday.
Following the attack, the BNP and Awami League leaders of the Kuptala union's Ward-6 agreed to work together to provide security to the Hindu community, the report said.
The Hindu communities of the district's Sundargang, Sadullyapur, Palashbari and Govindaganj upazilas are now living in fear.
The leaders of the two political parties decided to unite at a meeting Thursday. The meeting was presided by former union parishad chairman Mojibor Rahman.
"The leaders of the two parties have agreed to live peacefully, shunning all sorts of violence," bdnews24.com quoted Rahman as saying.
The ward unit's Awami League general secretary Zeyad Ali said: "Leaders and activists of both parties have agreed to work together to maintain communal harmony in the area."
Faizar Rahman, BNP chief of the area, said: "We want to assure the local minorities that such incident (the attack few days ago) will not recur."
The upazila administration chief Mamunur Rashid has confirmed the news of the BNP and Awami League working together to protect the Hindus, the report said.
The National Human Rights Commission Wednesday said the Bangladesh government has failed to prevent attacks on Hindus after the elections.
Mired in controversy, the elections were held in just 147 out of 300 seats in 59 out of 64 districts of the country.
Some 21 parties, including former prime minister Khaleda Zia's Bangladesh Nationalist Party, boycotted the polls over Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's refusal to introduce a non-party interim government to oversee the elections.

Pemberton's Shirley Henry added another honour to her collection this weekend. The former mayor of Pemberton was given the BC Chamber Fellow Award.
The prestigious award from the BC Chamber of Commerce was given to Henry for her outstanding contributions to the chamber network in B.C.
The provincial organization had its annual general meeting in Nanaimo on Saturday, May 25. The organization's immediate past chair, Maureen Kirkbride, presented Henry with the award.
"Shirley Henry is one of those rare, natural leaders that people immediately respond to, work together with, and get inspired by," Kirkbride said as she presented the award. "She is someone who never sits back and lets things happen; she gets involved and makes things happen."
Henry is currently a member of the Pemberton Chamber of Commerce executive and she plays a key role in the day-to-day operations of the organization. She does that work on a volunteer basis. Reached at her office in Pemberton Henry said she puts in full-time hours by organizing events, taking meeting minutes and doing other tasks for the chamber of commerce in Pemberton.
"If I didn't do that what am I going to do?" she asked when questioned about how she spends her days. "I'm retired. I do slack off sometimes but every day I'm doing something (for the chamber)."
Henry said she had a good meal in Nanaimo and was chauffeured around the Vancouver Island community after she was told she had to attend the annual conference of chamber organizations from around B.C. She said she thought the Pemberton chamber was going to be honoured in some way so she was shocked when the award was given to her.
The chamber of commerce previously honoured her with a community service award and Henry was awarded with Canadian Service Medals in 1992 and then again in 2002. The national medals are given to Canadians who make outstanding and exemplary contributions to their communities.
The former mayor was first elected to Pemberton council as an alderman in 1975. She went on to serve as mayor from 1979 To 1993.

- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 medium red or yellow onion, peeled and diced
