Buying a house in Perth? Want to keep up to date with what is happening in the Perth & Western Australia property market?
Immigrate Perth will be keeping their eye on the property papers and what's in the news on the property front.
So if you want to keep up to date then visit us often for some of the latest updates-)
January 2010
Reports have indicated that the Perth property market is recovering and we are again seeing capital growth in our homes.
The first home owners have kept the bottom end of the market busy in the early part of last year as they took advantage of the additional BOOST made available to those who qualified for the First Home Owners Grant (FHOG).
Now the BOOST has ended but the recovering economy has seen investors and buyers at the top end of the market beginning to buy again.
With the activity in the resources sector picking up, incomes increasing, and population continuing to grow we will see a greater demand than supply for property. Price rises are inevitable.
There has been talk by economists at the Australian Property Monitors that Perth house prices could rise by more than 10 per cent this year. Great news if you are selling, not so good if you will be moving over here as a new migrant over the coming months.
We could also see an increase in the average weekly rent in the Perth metro area, which is expected to exceed $400 a week. Higher rent makes the market even more attractive to investors.
After months of falling prices on the Perth property market we have began to see light at the end of the tunnel.
According to the Real Estate Institute of WA's president Rob Druitt we can expect the last quarters figures soon to be released to show a 2 per cent increase in Perth's median house price.
With the recoreded price rise in the March quarter there are signs that the property market has turned a corner and we can start to see some growth again.

Newport, Ore.
THE latest bad news from the world of methamphetamine is that makers of the drug have perfected a one-pot recipe that enables them to manufacture their highly addictive product while on the move, often in their car. The materials they need a two-liter soda bottle, a few cold pills and some household chemicals are easily obtained and easily discarded, often in a trash bag dumped along the highway.
There is, however, a simple way to end this mobile industry and, indeed, most methamphetamine production. We've tried it in Oregon, and have seen how well it works. Just keep a key ingredient, pseudoephedrine, out of the hands of meth producers.
Pseudoephedrine is a nasal decongestant found in some cold and allergy medicines. In 1976, the Food and Drug Administration allowed it to be sold over the counter, inadvertently letting the genie out of the bottle. Afterward, the meth epidemic spread across the nation, leaving destroyed lives and families in its wake.
Sales of products containing pseudoephedrine in the United States now amount to nearly $600 million a year. Yet, according to the pharmaceutical industry, only 15 million Americans use the drug to treat their stuffed-up noses, and these people typically buy no more than a package or two ($10 to $20 worth) a year.
Over the years, Congress and state legislatures have passed laws meant to prevent the diversion of pseudoephedrine to meth production. But such efforts have amounted to only temporary Band-Aids.
In 2006, Congress required pseudoephedrine products to be moved behind the counter, set daily and monthly limits on the amount that can be sold to any one customer and required retailers to keep a log of sales. But meth users quickly learned to evade these controls by making purchases in several different stores a practice known as "smurfing."
In an effort to avoid having more stringent controls placed on the drug, the pharmaceutical industry is lobbying Congress to require electronic tracking of pseudoephedrine sales, as some states already do. This makes it harder for an individual smurfer to collect large quantities of the drug. But meth users get around the tracking system by banding together in cooperatives, with each member buying pseudoephedrine products in amounts small enough to evade detection. These group smurfers then contribute their portion to the pot in exchange for cash or a share of the cooked-up meth. Or, in the West, they feed the "super labs" run by drug trafficking organizations in Central California.
In Kentucky, an electronic tracking law that went into effect in 2008 has had no effect on the number of meth labs there, and only 10 percent of them are found by electronic tracking. The number of police incidents involving meth labs has actually increased by more than 40 percent.
The only effective solution is to put the genie back in the bottle by returning pseudoephedrine to prescription-drug status. That's what Oregon did more than four years ago, enabling the state to eliminate smurfing and nearly eradicate meth labs. This is part of the reason that Oregon recently experienced the steepest decline in crime rates in the 50 states.
Earlier this year, Mississippi also passed a law requiring a prescription to get pseudoephedrine. Since July, the number of meth labs in that state has fallen by 65 percent.
In 2009, Mexico, which had been the source of most of the methamphetamine on the streets of the United States, went further, banning pseudoephedrine entirely. The potency of meth from Mexico has since plummeted. This is great news. But now the ball is back in our court.
These pseudoephedrine prescription requirements apply to only 15 pharmaceutical products and their generic equivalents medicines like Sudafed 12 Hour, Aleve D and Advil Cold and Sinus. Most cold and allergy medicines on store shelves are not affected, because they contain no pseudoephedrine.
Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon has proposed legislation to require prescriptions for products with pseudoephedrine nationwide, and Congress should enact it without delay. American families, too many already devastated by the meth epidemic, deserve no less.

Join the Noyo Center for Marine Science's month-long Orca Articulation Workshop, and help them re-assemble a 26-foot Orca skeleton, bone by bone. Mixing art, science and engineering, everyone involved will get a rare and intimate look into the life of a killer whale.
In 2015, an adult male Orca washed ashore on the Mendocino Coast tangled in crab pot line. He was identified as Alaskan transient. The Noyo Center for Marine Science, in collaboration with California Academy of Sciences, collected and prepared the bones.
This summer, three master articulators will lead participants through the exciting process of articulating the skeleton in a way that reflects this magnificent mammal's power and beauty.
Noyo Center also offers a range of additional activities, including a scientific illustration class, lectures, youth day camp, public viewings, marketplace shops, demonstrations and a reception at the end of the workshop for the entire community. It will be a true Orca summer!
Master articulators
Mike deRoos and Michi Main of Cetacea, Inc., Salt Spring Island, B.C., Canada, will lead the workshop.
As the dynamic team behind the amazing lunge-feeding blue whale skeleton at University of British Columbia, Mike and Michi have elevated the science of marine skeleton articulation to an art form. Each project features an elegant pose and captivates the imagination of the visitor.
Lee Post of Homer, Alaska, better known as the "Boneman," literally wrote the book on marine mammal skeleton articulation when none existed! Having worked with large museums as well as small marine centers, Lee never fails to deliver a great experience.

Losing weight with Maximum Slim
We at Botica di Servicio find it important to truly know the products we sell. For that reason, we asked our colleague Sherilane to try the product Max Slim and share her progress and experiences through our Facebook Page. Sherilane has worked for about a year at Botica di Servicio and is an Assistant Sales Manager. She will be using Max Slim over the coming weeks and will update weekly about how it goes.
Week 1
Sherilane recently started using Maximum Slim and wants to share her experience with us. She was already trying to lose some weight on her own so Maximum Slim was a welcome addition to her diet. Her goal is to lose 10 kg, since that is a realistic and healthy weigh loss goal. While drinking Maximum Slim, she noticed a decrease in appetite, especially in her cravings. She even had to remind herself to eat, otherwise she'd forget. In the first week since starting Maximum Slim she has already lost 2 kg, with minimal exercise! Her advice for anyone starting Maximum Slim is: "Try to make a schedule for when to eat so you don't skip a meal, and drink plenty of water. Your body needs the food to keep your metabolism working to help melt all the fat away.
Week 2 & 3
We can already see a noticeable difference. In the past weeks Sherilane has been feeling much more energetic and determined to lose as much weight as possible. She has also been exercising more than before. She lost 4 kg in the past 2 weeks but has definitely noticed her jeans getting bigger. Her clothes fit much better and the people around her have even started noticing the changes. Her advice for anyone using Maximum Slim is to consider drinking it as an early morning cup of coffee or tea. You should sip it slowly and not all at once. If you are using Maximum Slim Cocoa, it's best to let it stand for a minute or 2 before drinking it, so it reaches the thickness it's supposed to reach. She concluded her update with the following: "Try to make a meal plan and stick to it... Maximum Slim definitely helps control your hunger but you still have to go the extra mile to get the results you want
Week 4
Today concludes Sherilane's journey with Maximum Slim. She is feeling very energetic and motivated. Her clothes fit much better and some are even falling of her body. In the past week she has lost 1.5 kg, but has gone down 2 sizes down from where she started 4 weeks ago. In total she lost 7.5 kg in only 4 weeks! Her advice for people using Maximum Slim is that it's important to combine Maximum Slim with a healthy routine and lots of exercise. Maximum Slim definitely helps with your appetite but if you don't exercise you'll be left with a slim but not toned body. She concluded her update saying: "I am not stopping here. I will keep this up and have set a new goal for the future. Today was my last Maximum Slim. I've kept it up for 4 weeks and I am glad I did it. It helped me get started. Now i will go on and make sure i lose much more!"

Elise Molnar had a hat trick for the Crimson Tuesday (Justine Agaloos).
STOCKTON, Calif. – The Harvard women's water polo team hung with No. 19 Pacific for a half, but the Tigers pulled away in the third quarter to top the Crimson, 17-9, Tuesday afternoon at the Chris Kjeldsen Aquatics Complex.
Harvard trailed by just four at the break before allowing the Tigers to go on a 5-0 run during the third period to fall to 13-6 on the year.
Elise Molnar paced the Crimson offense with three goals, while Yoshi Andersen had a single tally and handed out four assists. Aisha Price, Charlotte Hendrix, Jelena Cyr, Victoria Frager and Shayna Price all had single markers to cap the scoring.
The Tigers netted the first three goals of the game to take an early lead before Cyr got the Crimson on the board with 3:22 remaining in the first. Pacific pushed its advantage to three again before Andersen cut it back to two with just 31 seconds remaining in the period. The Tigers responded with a tally 15 seconds later to take a 5-2 advantage after one.
The Crimson drew within two again to start the second, as Molnar struck for the first time at the 5:55 mark. The squads traded the next four goals with Frager and Hendrix accounting for the Crimson's two goals to keep the game within two; however, Pacific netted the final two goals of the first half to take a four-goal lead into the break.
The momentum carried into the third for the Tigers, as they scored all five goals in the period to put the game out of reach.
In the fourth, Harvard tried to mount a comeback, outscoring the Tigers, 4-3, but the deficit proved to be too much.
The Crimson returns to action Thursday against San Jose State at 7 p.m. to start the back half of its California trip.

Oxford is the city in which J.R.R. Tolkien spent a great deal of his life living in. Both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were written in North Oxford.
[edit] In the legendarium
Oxford (Old English: Oxena Ford) is referenced in the earliest form of the legendarium, the Book of Lost Tales. It was associated with Horsa, son of Eriol and Cwén. The name Oxford is translated as Qenya Taruktarna and in Gnomish *Taruithorn.[1]
Much later, Tolkien signed as Arcastar Mondósaresse "Tolkien in Oxford" in a 1968 letter to the producer of the BBC documentary Tolkien in Oxford.[2]
According to a map of Middle-earth annotated by Tolkien, Hobbiton was at approximately the same latitude as Oxford.[3]

What you'll need: A mat and a sturdy chair
Your Better-Sex Workout: Improve Energy
Try: Mountain Climber with Reverse Crunch
Targets: Abs, hip flexors, glutes, quads, and calves
- Start in full push-up position.
- Pull right knee toward chest, return to start, then switch legs, keeping abs tight.
- Continue quickly alternating sides for 30 seconds.
- Lie faceup on floor with legs extended, hands behind head, feet lifted 6 inches.
- Lift hips, bringing knees toward chest while crunching upper body toward knees. Lower.
- Do 10 to 15 reps. Repeat sequence 5 times.
Why it works: This move increases stamina. "Most of us are so exhausted that we find ourselves choosing between sleep and sex on a regular basis," says Laura Berman, PhD, author of The Passion Prescription: 10 Weeks to Your Best Sex Ever. With more energy, guess what choice you'll make.
Your Better-Sex Workout: Build Core Strength
Try: Corkscrew
Targets: Abs, obliques, and glutes
- Lie faceup on floor, legs together and extended above hips.
- Slowly lift hips slightly off floor while twisting lower body to right, keeping upper body still. Return to center, lower hips, then repeat to left.
- Do 20 twists, alternating sides. Lower legs.
Why it works: "Core moves help control the all-important pelvic muscles you use during sex," says Berman.
Your Better-Sex Workout: Gain Flexibility
Try: Hip flexor/quad stretch
Targets: Hips and quads
- Start on all fours, hands in line with shoulders, knees under hips.
- Step left foot forward between hands, knee bent 90 degrees; lift upper body.
- Keeping chest up, push right hip/quad forward. Grasp right foot with right hand and pull toward butt. Hold for 30 seconds.
- Switch sides; repeat.
Why it works: Stretching poses can help you get into some, um, creative positions, says Berman.
Your Better-Sex Workout: "O" Insurance
Try: Bridge pose
Targets: Abs, hip flexors, pelvic floor, glutes, and hamstrings
- Lie faceup on floor, knees bent.
- Squeeze glutes and engage abs and pelvic muscles. Lift hips, forming a diagonal line from knees to head. Lower; don't let butt touch floor. Do 15 reps.
- Next, exhale to tilt pelvis forward, keeping lower back on floor (not shown). Inhale to lower. Do 15 reps.
Why it works: "The stronger your pelvic-floor muscles are, the stronger your contractions and the better your orgasms will be," says Berman.
Your Better-Sex Workout: Heighten Sensation Down There
Try: Single-leg dip/jumping jack
Targets: Glutes, hamstrings, and quads
- Stand in front of chair with feet hip-width apart.
- Step up on seat with right foot, left foot hanging off. Bend right knee 90 degrees, keeping left foot hanging. Hold for 15 seconds. Step down. Switch legs; repeat.
- Do 10 jumping jacks.
- Repeat sequence 5 times, resting for 1 minute in between.
Why it works: "Squats, lunges, and other lower-body exercises help get your blood flowing to all the right spots," explains Berman.

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. Iad Framework Diagram. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. Iad Framework Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. Iad Framework Diagram. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

Cannabis (Hemp) Seeds
"Make the most that you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere."
– George Washington
"Hemp seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke,"
says Cassandra Forsythe, Ph. D., a nutrition researcher at the University of Connecticut
NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS of Seeds:
The Nutritional composition of a cannabis/hemp seed is incredible! In it's perfect organic natural state cannabis seed is considered by many to be the safest, most digestable, balanced, natural and complete source of protein, ammino acids, and essential fats found anywhere in nature. A 1-ounce serving of the seeds provides 11 grams of protein—but not the kind of incomplete protein found in most plant sources. Cannabis seeds provide all the essential amino acids, meaning the protein they contain is comparable to that found in meat, eggs, and dairy. This cannabis seed protein is more nutritious and more economical to produce than soybean protein.
- 33% protein
- 35% essential fatty acid (Omega 3, 6, 9 and GLA)
- Contains all 9 essential acids
- Contains 6.2x more Omega-3 than raw tuna
- Contains an abundant source of GLA
- Rich in trace minerals
- High in dietary fiber
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for following vitamins and minerals
- 20% Iron (5 milligrams)
- 8% vitamin E
- 15% vitamin B6
- 21% riboflavin (vitamin B2)
- 26% thiamine (vitamin B1)
- 8% copper
- 15% potassium
- 20% zinc
- 43% magnesium
- 52% folic acid
- 60% manganese
How to eat them: Toss 2 tablespoons of the seeds into your oatmeal or stir-fry. Or add them to your postworkout shake for an extra dose of muscle-building protein.
according to Men's Health

"Kids these days are so amazing at using the computer!"
It's popular wisdom that the younger generations are "tech natives" and naturally know how to use technology given that they grew up in a world with that technology. In my experience, this sentiment is usually uttered by people so far removed from technology, that the simplest operation of technology appears to be magic.
The fact is, most people today who appear to "know how to use a computer" can only navigate very specific services and devices. For example: If you ask the average North American teenager or college student, they'd probably be able to show you with ease how to navigate facebook, twitter, instagram, tumblr, reddit, or a smartphone. If you ask them to install a new operating system on their computer, build a computer, write a program, or design a website they'll stare at you like a deer in the headlights.
They don't know how to do these things and they're the "tech natives." The reality is that they, like most people who use technology, have a nice comfortable bubble of "these are the programs and devices I use daily" and that's it. They like things simple and predictable. Throw them an error or something unexpected and they're helpless.
In my short time working in the tech field I've been shocked at just how few basic troubleshooting skills people have when it comes to technology. For most of the people I've come across, the computer is a magic box and if something doesn't work, they're helpless. What I find really interesting is that people don't usually think this way about their cars.
If they get in their car to go to work in the morning and it doesn't start, I think most people wouldn't immediately throw up their hands and go "oh no! the magical car is broken! I have no idea what it could be!" Most people would at least check to see if it has gas, then check to see if the battery was dead. Some of the more advanced drivers would then check other engine factors. The point is, most people would at least investigate to some small degree.
Not so with computers. I think the disconnect is partly due to the fact that, unlike a car, there really aren't that many moving parts to a computer. If a program stops working, it's harder to visualize why that program stopped working. As such, most people lack even basic troubleshooting skills when it comes to computers.
I want to preface what I'm about to say with a disclaimer. I am not a microsoft fanboy. I really couldn't care less if you love or hate microsoft. That being said: I dislike Mac computers.
I say I dislike them not for technical reasons, well maybe a little, but mainly for philosophical reasons. You see, I believe Mac's popularity is connected with the fact that people are technologically illiterate and just want things to "work."
"But GP! What's wrong with just wanting things to work?! For wanting a smooth user experience with little to no technical knowledge required by the user? Doesn't that democratize technology and enable the lowest common denominator access to that technology?"
Yes, it does open technology up to the lowest common denominator in a way that does not require them to have any technical knowledge, and that's the problem!
Look, computers aren't perfect. From time to time you're going to run into problems that require you to think critically. That's precisely what Macs (and console gaming for that matter) try to avoid. They try to design a user experience that requires as little thinking as possible on the part of the user.
In a world that is increasingly dependent on technology in everyday life, I can't help but feel this attitude is reckless and dangerous to society.
You're creating a generation that is simultaneously dependent on technology and ignorant of the very technology they depend upon. It's a recipe for a gullible and vulnerable population; which is precisely why there is an incentive for the status quo to perpetuate this trend.
Technology is a very potent force for change, yet if the population can't interact with that technology outside of a specific set of regulated and confined relations, then that technology loses all potential as a change agent.
At the end of the book "Cypherpunks" Jullian Assange talks about a future wherein he foresees the only truly "free" people in the world being the people who are technically literate. Sadly, I think he's right in his prediction of where the world is going. At least in my experience as a help-desk technician and systems administrator I've seen that most people not only lack basic technical and troubleshooting skills, but are actively hostile to the notion of acquiring those skills.
Darwin was famous for is realization that organisms most adaptive to change were the organisms most likely to survive. The technically illiterate people who happily consume no-thinking required products are not only refusing to adapt to a technical world, they're content to stay ignorant in exchange for ease of use and comfort. They're too short-sighted to see that there is a price for ignorance: freedom.

Choosing a New Path "that has made all the difference"
Douglas Boyle, DBA, MBA, CPA, CMA
...topics involving ethics, governance and servant leadership become of particulary interest "given the carnage I directly witnessed during my career influenced by certain leaders lacking a grounded moral compass," behavior motivated by power and greed....
The career path of most academics is one of study and research while obtaining a bachelor's, a master's and a doctorate degree. Douglas M. Boyle, DBA, CPA, CMA, did not follow the path most taken. His education led him to more than 25 years of professional experience in the areas of leadership, finance, operations, corporate governance, and business turnarounds. He has served in executive roles in start-up, middle market, and Fortune 500 companies where he has held the titles of Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operations Officer, and Chief Financial Officer. Dr. Boyle has served on the board of directors of both public and private companies in the roles of chairman of the audit committee and member of the nominating, governance and compensation committees.
Just what drives a former CEO to give up his highly successful business career and start anew in the classroom? After spending more than 25 years in a rewarding professional career, Dr. Boyle says he, "felt that I wanted to give back and make a difference. I found myself drawn to teaching and began serving as an adjunct at several institutions at night while still working as an executive. I was immediately hooked by the sense of satisfaction that I received when working with students and sharing what I had learned. I was ready to make a huge career change."
Dr. Boyle's career had taken him all over the country requiring him to move more than 10 times. After reflecting upon his life growing up in Scranton where he had the fondest memories of attending and graduating from The University of Scranton, it became crystal clear what he wanted to do with the rest of his career. He decided to begin the path of migrating back to his roots and the university that played such a major role in molding him as a person.
This transition was most challenging given that the life of an executive is very different from that of one just beginning to work on completing a doctorate degree. He was accustomed to leading large organizations with significant resources. The path he was about to take did not afford him with many of those same advantages. In many ways it was like starting over, however, the skills and traits that he developed as an executive proved to be invaluable. The approach he took was to be fully engaged in learning and to be humble. This approach was modeled after the concept of magis described in the University's mission as "a restless pursuit of excellence grounded in gratitude." He was most fortunate to have several outstanding mentors at the University to guide him on this journey including: Dean Michael Mensah, Ph.D., Brian Carpenter, Ph.D., and Daniel Mahoney, Ph.D. Their mentoring and willingness to help confirmed to him that he had made the right choice. In addition, the University was most supportive of him during this transition in many ways. He completed his doctorate in business administration in May 2012 from Kennesaw State University.
While Dr. Boyle first pursued a career in academia "based on a love for teaching," he quickly found that he had an equal passion for performing and publishing research, particularly research that questioned the current way of thinking aimed at making a difference in the business world and the classroom. In addition, topics involving ethics, governance and servant leadership became of particular interest to him "given the carnage I directly witnessed during my career inflicted by certain leaders lacking a grounded moral compass," behavior motivated by power and greed. Based on these research interests, he has 17 journal publications over the past few years.
An Ignatian Vision
The approach he takes to research may be somewhat different from the pure traditional method of business research whereby the researcher finds a gap (sometimes very narrow) in the existing literature, creates constructs and hypotheses based on theory, performs complex statistical analysis, and reports results. His research philosophy is grounded in the University's vision of "transformational learning." In order to achieve that type of learning it is often best not to be initially wedded and confined by current thought. Striving to implement this transformational philosophy, he first identifies a current, interesting, and important real problem in the business world that requires new thinking, insights and solutions. He follows the rigor and uses the tools found in the pure traditional method; however, his initial focus is different. Dr. Boyle says he is "not trying to extend a mere gap in the current way of thinking; I am attempting to create new ways of thinking."
During this problem identification stage, he collaborates extensively with others both in academia and practice to refine the research question and build a research team. He fully believes that "research is a team sport and without a strong team pushing and challenging each other every step of the way, the ultimate outcome will not be transformational." He has also found that an effective research team maximizes the complementary skills of each member which makes the process much more enjoyable. Each member of the team grows as an individual while the collaborative energy generates an ongoing stream of research projects.
Recent projects on which he has worked include: challenging several aspects of the current traditional model of doctoral accounting education; questioning and refining the predominate fraud model in business to shift toward a greater focus on individual rationalization and ethics; calling for the most powerful executives in a company, CEOs and CFOs, to be more accountable to a wide range of stakeholders and subject to ethics audits as a means to mitigate poor behaviors; and identifying how current goodwill impairment rules may not effectively reflect the reality of acquisition failures. His goal is to have his research widely read and ultimately to have a meaningful impact on the business world.
Most recently, Dr. Boyle has begun working on a research project aimed at utilizing theological and Jesuit ideology to help mitigate the rationalization of fraudulent behavior of CEOs. This project is being worked on by a team from the accounting department, Dr. Dan Mahoney and James Boyle, and Rev. Richard Malloy, S.J. vice president for University Mission and Ministry. This cross-campus collaborative approach should yield outstanding results and strengthen the University's business program. He is also working on a project with Dr. Carpenter and James Boyle that investigates business student academic dishonesty from the perceptions of faculty based on elements of the fraud triangle. His hope is that both of these manuscripts will provide new ways for business leaders, faculty and students to think about and deal with fraud, moral development, and ethical issues.
Integrating his research in the classroom
In addition to making a difference in the business world, Dr. Boyle also attempts to bring his research into the master's level courses that he teaches. He just finished a summer special topics course in current accounting research, whereby the research process is reviewed and the work of faculty and others is discussed. He has found that his students are more engaged when they discuss current research produced by their own faculty.
Dr. Boyle has been honored for his teaching and was awarded the Kania School of Management Teacher of The Year at the University of Scranton for 2009–2010 and 2011–2012. He also received the University of Scranton's Provost Excellence in Research Award for 2012. He has received nationally recognized awards and grants for his research and publications.
Dr. Boyle is committed to his greater community. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for Allied Services Health System. In addition to his role as Director, he serves on the Finance Committee and as Chairman of the Board for the Allied Services Skilled Nursing Division. He also consults as an executive coach and business turnaround expert.
In order to fulfill the call made by St. Ignatius Loyola to "set the world on fire," Dr. Boyle says he "believes that engaging our faculty and students by bringing in current issues from the business world through research that challenges current paradigms is critical. Focusing on our mission and vision provides a robust framework for discussion and ultimately results in the creation of a competitive advantage for our business students.

"Fools mock at sin, But among the upright there is good will." Proverbs 14:9 (NASB)
"It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble." Luke 17:2 (NASB)
I would never let my daughter leave the house dressed like modern Tinker Bell imagery, so she will not be playing with toys containing such imagery. Barbie and Ken are sure examples of making light of sin, Mattel has created a pair in a sinful relationship focusing on only the sensual. Then we have an abundance of occult toys, it would be impossible to play with a Ouija Board without sinning and giving one is a sin in itself.
A toy should have some teaching value.
"Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 (NASB)
There is nothing inherently evil with a toy with no teaching value; however such toys seem to be poor stewardship of time. Toys that teach are just as much fun for a child. That being said, more toys then you think have teaching value. A doll can teach a girl how to be a mother. A ball teaches coordination and physical education.
Toys should not be excessive.
"A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it." Psalm 24:1 (NASB)
We should be teaching children to store up their treasures in heaven, not here on earth (Matthew 6:19-21). We must be careful to keep Christ at the center of our lives and our children's lives. Lavishing a child in excess can make the child more central than Christ in the parent's lives and can make the child think they are the central focus of life. Being a good steward will often mean spending on kingdom work rather than yet another toy for your child.
Cheap toys frustrate children, break and wind up in the trash: a poor show of stewardship. Look for fewer toys of quality construction. Look for toys that encourage imagination and creativity. Such toys can help fight excess. A set of plain wood blocks can be made into just about anything with some creativity. Compare that to these specialized building kits, you need one box to build a boat and you need to buy another box to build a car, etc, etc. The plain blocks fight excess because they are so versatile. They are the boat, the car, and everything else you can dream up.

I truly don't know where the time goes. I know I said that many times recently, but it is hard for me to comprehend that it is already December 11th and the Christmas season is upon us.
Perhaps the reason for autumn passing so quickly is that it is my favorite time of year. After all, we know that when we are enjoying something a great deal time seems to pass in the blink of the eye.
Maybe it is because this is also the 'busiest' time of year for most people. So many of my friends are crafters and artistic people, and it seems that the time frame between September and January is the busiest for all of them as well. With craft shows, special orders and making their own gifts, even those who are just starting out seem to have a full schedule.
Add to that the house decorations, baking, wrapping etc., and it is understandable how the days seem to begin and end within just a few short hours.
Yesterday was a milestone for me. I finished up the last of what I intended to 'make' for those on my gift list. Remember, my list is small, but I have been working on a truly special project that five people on my list will receive throughout the upcoming year. I had decided to do it in stages, with sending out part of it each month. That is the only way that I can think of that will make it possible for me to do it for them. But I think they will enjoy that as well. For each month they will receive a reminder that they are thought about and loved. What could be nicer?
It also served to take off a large amount of pressure that I typically place on myself for the holidays. I have always done this. Even as a teen living with my mom I used to 'think big' at Christmas time. I would start baking cookies right after Thanksgiving and would make a new type each night and pack them in the freezer. By the time Christmas actually arrived, I had over 20 varieties of home made cookies to dole out to my family and friends. It was a LOT of work, and expensive as well (even back then in the 70's) and I look back to those times and wonder how I ever accomplished it. Now I am lucky to make one or two varieties of cookies, if any.
We do tend to learn over the years. I did, anyway.
I learned to pace myself and to not feel like disaster has struck if I didn't get every spectacular idea that I had in my mind finished. Otherwise I would drive myself crazy. And while some of you may think I am already there, I assure you, if I am, it is the GOOD type of crazy! The type where I love life and love living to create new things and teach others to do so as well. So come join me!
As I finished up my pieces yesterday, I had this huge sense of relief. My house here is a bit messy (not too bad, but about a half hour of tidying up wouldn't hurt!) and I still had to wrap things up to be shipped out. Keith went out for the evening and I had the place all to myself (and the cats, of course) and I could have accomplished a great deal.
But instead I chose to do other things. I made a call to someone dear who has been on my mind. I visited with her for a bit. I stopped by my favorite groups on Facebook and had some conversations with my cyber friends. And I posted some of the 'secret gifts' for others to see in my private art groups, which brought a bit of conversation with my fellow creative friends. This, to me, was a low-key evening.
All the while I was doing these things, I had assorted cats on my lap. I made a cup of peppermint tea and had a couple of cookies (store bought) and I laughed at the humor of my friends and I looked at my little tree, which is now naked except for the lights, and I thought – "This is what the season is all about." It is about loving and caring for others and laughing and crying with them. It is about telling funny stories and teasing and making others smile and feel loved. It is about so much more than the materialistic things we have become accustom to in relation to Christmas.
When Keith got home, I was already in bed. He stopped in to say goodnight to me (he is a night owl and stays up quite late) he asked how my evening was. At first I said to him through my sleepy haze "I wasted the entire evening doing nothing." But then when I told him that I made an overdue phone call and chatted online with my friends for a while, I realized how wrong that statement was. The evening was NOT wasted. It was good. It fed my soul and made me smile and I went to bed appreciating the wonderful family, friends and life I had.
How can that ever be considered "wasted" time?
Everything we do does not need physical results. Sometimes the most important things we do for ourselves or others are the things that can't be seen, touched or held. They are the things that feed our souls and bring feelings of love, compassion and warmth. They are the small, everyday things that we do to make others smile and make their day a little bit better. I always say that if I can make someone smile on any given day, it is a good one. I try to do that every single day.
I wish you all a wonderful weekend ahead. I hope you think about what I mentioned here and try to keep yourself calm and happy during this busy time of the year. Things will get done. If they don't, the world will not stop spinning. I rarely hear of people thinking 'less' of someone because they only had 12 types of cookies instead of 15. Or that their house wasn't decorated quite as elaborately as the year before. Remember what is important – to show love and compassion toward all you meet. THAT will fill your heart with the spirit of the season.
Happy Friday to you. Enjoy your weekend.

Let me introduce Harold, a very recent member of the PHA community. He is a 53 year old type 2 diabetic who had let himself go after losing his regular job. He came to me and asked for help. He understood the concepts immediately and he successfully made the lifestyle switch. He restarted his treatment plan and has been seeing steady improvements. See below, June 2014:
My sincerest thanks again for your intervention into my world and saving my life, literally! That is an understatement but very heartfelt….On to more positive and productive thoughts. I have been testing my blood daily now, up to 3 times and finding my BS (Blood Sugar) from 85 to 145. … I have started the diet we discussed and it seems to be making improvement. It is too soon of course but not being over 165 at all is a HUGE improvement from highs of 240 to over 300! My diet is organic veggies, butter, olive oil, poultry, fish, eggs and meat (though meat is a luxury and not a regular on my plate). When I first started the insulin I went to 230lbs and couldn't stop it! I looked like the goodyear blimp… I dropped dramatically when I went off the insulin and more so when I changed diet. … I haven't measured but I have lost 4 inches at least in my waist… I have belts I couldn't get around my waist for some time and now can close at least 2 notches…. That alone feels so great, and I can tuck my shirt in when I play golf instead of letting it hang out cause my belly hung out so far!! LOL … Sincerely, Harold
Harold has made a great start and you can too. Connect with us now so we can help you. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Bingo balls are obviously essential to any bingo game. In fact without them lets face it there would be no game. Over the years they have changed greatly and modern day bingo balls come in all shapes and sizes. Early bingo games were often played with wooden balls and some bingo halls still use these wooden bingo balls for a nice authentic feel. Well that or they can't afford new ones!
There are loads of different bingo balls designs out there and everyone has their own personal favourites. The most important factor where bingo balls are concerned is number visibility. If you can't make out the number then you aren't going to be having a very efficient game! Usually you will find, even with coloured bingo balls that the numbers are written quite large and in black surrounded by a white background to avoid any confusion.
People do not realise but there is a big difference between bingo balls and lottery balls. On a lottery ball you will find the number written multiple times and all the balls will often be the same colour. Well bingo balls are a bit different as they only have the number written on once and some of the nicest sets will be colour coded by number. For example 1-10 might be blue and 11-20 might be green.
If you are planning to have a few friends round and you want to play bingo then a great tip to save some money if you can't afford a full set of bingo balls is to just buy ping pong balls and write the numbers on. You should have no problem finding enough ping pong balls to do the job perfectly for you.
With your bingo balls your are always going to need a master board. This is a place where you can keep the bingo balls once they have been taken from the cage. If you use a master board to store your bingo balls on then you won't have them rolling all over the place and you will be able to keep track of what numbers have been drawn much much easier!
Wooden Bingo Balls
Wooden Bingo balls were the first type of bingo ball to be used. They had a few problems with splinters though and you had to make sure no one had any sand paper in their handbag! Continue reading "Bingo Balls – An Essential To Any Bingo Game!"

The Secret of Getting Ahead is Getting Started ... Mark Twain
powering the stock market
Our BioTechQuant System Recommends a Model Portfolio
with Returns Far Outpacing Benchmarks
Biotech is a fascinating sector. Unbridled promise and potential.
At the same time, volatility and value destruction lurks
like steep icy slopes on the way to the summit.
Growth, evolving science, and immense value creation potential make the biotech industry an exciting one, while uncertainty, complexity, and volatility make it an unnerving one.
Nonetheless, the potential of the biotech sector in delivering incredible investment returns is real and it remains one of the key sectors that powers the market performance. Since the markets recovered from the 2008 Great Recession, Biotechs as a group have outpaced the general market not just well, but very well. In fact, by 2.4 times.
So over two-times the performance of S&P 500, with a return of 383% for Nasdaq Biotechnology Index ETF (IBB) compared to S&P 500 (SPY) return of 161%, for the period January 1, 2009, to January 1, 2016. The risk (volatility) assumed in a Biotech investment will always be higher compared to an S&P 500 investment, which is well-diversified across many industries. The volatility or standard deviation over the period was 5.5 for IBB, and 4.2 for S&P 500. Expressed a little differently, an IBB portfolio had to bear 1.3 times greater volatility but had the performance advantage of 2.4 times compared to an S&P 500 portfolio.
If you broaden the time horizon even further to include a complete economic cycle all the way to the beginning of 2017, the results are equally compelling. This is after including a major biotech correction during 2015 and 2016.
Biotechs - The Undisputed Winner
The Chart (click to enlarge) show the performance of the Biotech sector, represented by Nasdaq Biotechnology Index ETF IBB (Orange) compared to the broader market, represented by S&P 500 (Gray), from January 1, 2003 to Jan 1, 2017. The IBB cumulative returns were 563% compared to S&P 500 index returns of 308% during the period, indicating a nearly 2x performance advantage for IBB during this lenthy period. The volatility for IBB was still similar at 1.5x the S&P 500. The Performance section lists out additional risk-adjusted return measures.
The Performance Demonstrates You Can't Ignore Biotechs!
Cumulative Returns - Jan 2003 to Dec 2017
Biotech Index IBB 563%
$10,000 Portfolio Over Same Period
Biotech Index IBB $66,327
The Prudent Biotech Newsletter
Using Quantitative Models for Systematic Biotech Investing
We decided to match the potential of the Biotech sector with a systematic, model-driven approach. The result was our BioTechQuant model.
The BioTechQuant model goes through various stages, crunching the multiple quantitative parameters and rules, processing information on both the biotech sector listings in our database and the broader market variables. After various iterations, the eventual output is a recommended list of the high potential stocks based on our parameters. The 8-stock model portfolio, which we share with you through our monthly Prudent Biotech newsletter, is derived from this list.
We know from the charts and table above, the extent of the Biotech outperformance over the broader market. Below, we have overlaid the same chart with the Prudent Biotech Portfolio.
The Prudent Biotech model portfolio had a gain of over 37,000% over the same period (click to enlarge). This dwarfs the performances of IBB and S&P 500. The BioTechQuant model took a great performing sector, Biotech, and created a promising portfolio, based on the parameters, that delivered powerful and compelling results. The volatility of the Prudent Biotech portfolio was higher at 1.6 times the volatility of biotech index IBB, but delivered a hypothetical 66 times superior performance over the same period, indicating that the higher-risk assumed was well compensated for in terms of returns. Additional risk-adjusted return measures and related notes are provided in the Performance section.
Cumulative Returns - 2003 to 2017
Prudent Biotech 37,321%
Biotech Index IBB 563%
$10,000 Portfolio Over Same Period
Prudent Biotech $3,742,083
Biotech Index IBB $66,327
Performance from 2003 to 2015 is backtested, and from 2016 onwards is actual performance of published newsletters.
A $10,000 portfolio growing to nearly $4 million...
That's right! A $10,000 investment potentially growing to $4 million.
Now keep in mind that the exceptional back-tested track record for the model was based on hypothetical trades, and not actual trades. Generally speaking, Biotech stocks have more variable returns and substantially higher risk then the broader market indexes, and the Prudent Biotech portfolio has higher volatility of 1.6 times that of IBB. Furthermore, historical results do not guarantee future performance.
Nonetheless, the performance gap is substantial. What is equally noteworthy is the consistency with which the Prudent Biotech portfolio has outperformed.
Another thing to point out.
You may have observed from the chart that the performance spans an economic cycle, including the treacherous 2008 Bear.
During the brutal bear market of 2008-09, when the S&P500 index plunged 55% in a matter of months, the Prudent Biotech Portfolio did not suffer a material decline through the entire Bear market. The reason was straightforward. The models recognized the market risk to be abnormally elevated, and found a scarcity of investing ideas with a higher probability of success. Consequently, the Prudent Biotech portfolio simply exited to the safety of cash. The ability to exit the market is relatively easier for individual investors, compared to institutional investors, and we should leverage that into an advantage during times of acute market stress or a downward trend.
What do I get?
What you get is the Prudent Biotech model portfolio with a systematic investing game plan behind it.

text: We now seem to have a chip keyword, in addition to config, device, driver and object keywords. We have a device_operations structure, a cpu_device_id structure and a cpu_driver structure as well as a pci_driver structure. The cpu tree has been reorganized to include vendor directories as well as architecture directories. We now seem to have a drivers directory tree. Can someone please provide the following information: 1. What does each keyword actually do now? 2. How do the keywords relate to the data structures? 3. What files are now auto generated, and how is everything linked together? 4. What keywords/data structures are actually needed, and by which devices? 5. How/where are the data structures used? 6. What is the rationale behind the reorganization of the cpu tree, and how is it supposed to work? 7. What is the purpose of the drivers tree, how do drivers differ from devices, and why is the console not included? The configuration process now seems so complicated that I can't see how we could expect someone to port to a new board without some basic description of how everything is supposed to work. I have a major vendor interested in doing this, but at the moment I can't offer them any help. Greg
