Miami Welcomes Hermès to the Design District
Miami can now welcome the iconic Hermès flagship store to its booming Design District. Hermès is now neighbors with high end fashion houses such as: Burberry, CÉLINE, CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN, TOM FORD, and many others.
Located at 163 Northeast 39th Street, the store boasts three stories and a prominent staircase. The 13,000-square-foot boutique is one of the French brand's largest stores in the United States, revealed Robert Chavez, president and CEO of Hermès U.S.
Real Deal South Florida reports:
The goal was to create an inviting setting for visitors to experience the full Hermès collection, amid floor-t0-ceiling glass and an abundance of natural light. The building's facade has two layers: a glazed glass box, covered with a white-coated steel grid, broken up by hundreds of vertical steel tubes of varying thickness.
Fashion Law Notes: So What's a Flagship?
A flagship is a term used to designate a retailer's primary location. Typically, these stores hold or sell the highest volumes of merchandise such as handbags and shoes.
As the design district continues to expand with likes of Dior's flagship store projected to open in March 2016, what's next for Miami fashion scene? Leave a note in the comment section below.

Marymount University Varsity Triathlon Program seeks motivated athletes
Arlington, Va.—Marymount University has added both men's and women's triathlon to its sports offerings. While many universities around the country currently have club-level triathlon teams, Marymount is the first university offering a varsity-level triathlon program.
Marymount has hired Zane Castro as head coach of both teams. Castro, formerly of Austin, Texas, has 15 years of experience coaching triathlon at both the national and international levels. Castro is hoping to bring in athletes who have already had strong performances at the Junior level, as well as athletes who have a strong history of swimming or running in high school that will aid them in switching to triathlon.
"Right now, college kids usually have to choose either running or swimming. They might reach a high level in one of these disciplines during college, but the other disciplines will suffer. Collegiate triathlon is an opportunity for triathletes to improve in all three disciplines throughout their four years in college, which is what they need to be competitive at the next level," says Castro.
Marymount will field its first team in the fall of 2013. Castro is actively looking for athletes to fill five men's and five women's slots on the team.
Marymount's Director of Athletics, Debbie Warren, was instrumental in promoting triathlon as the university's next sport. Warren says, "Marymount seemed like an ideal place for a tri program because the weather is pretty mild and lends itself to year-round training."
About Marymount: Marymount University is a liberal arts institution located in Arlington, Va.—just outside Washington DC. The University's proximity to the nation's capital provides unique educational, professional and cultural opportunities for students while providing them a safe home in the quiet town of Arlington. Marymount provides a myriad of programs of study. Its most popular undergraduate programs are Business Administration, Nursing, Biology, and Information Technology. At the graduate level, Marymount is popular for its Forensic Psychology, Business Administration, Physical Therapy, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and Elementary Education programs.
For more information, please contact Zane Castro at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Stay tuned for more on the Marymount Tri team in future posts.

Here you can read all news about stem cells.
Learn MoreMedia about us
Carrison's disease, also known as Oroya fever or bartonellosis, is a rare disease in human species.
The causative agent for Carrison's disease is Bartonella bacilliformis, harbored by sandfly of the genus Lutzomyia. It is characteristic to some countries such as Peru, Ecuador, and Columbia.
Carrison's disease shows pleomorphism of signs and symptoms. It has two major stages of clinical presentations: acute phase and chronic phase. These two phases take place in two different cell types of the host. The acute phase takes place in the red blood cells, while the chronic phase takes place in the endothelial cells.
The acute phase which is also known as the haematic phase is characterized by fever, paleness, malaise, liver enlargement, enlarged lymph nodes, and spleen. In this phase, the patient suffers severe hemolytic anemia and transient immunosuppression.
The chronic phase is also referred to as the eruptive or tissue phase. During this phase, the patient develops a cutaneous rash, which results from the proliferation of endothelial cells and gives rise to lesions capable of ulceration and bleeding. These rashes known as Peruvian warts or verruga peruana can be classified into three categories, depending on the size and characteristics of the lesion; the smallest lesions being the miliary, followed by the nodular or subdermal lesions; the largest being the mular lesions. Also, the chronic phase clinically manifests with hyperplasia of the lesions and profuse mitosis and proliferation of damaged capillaries.
The acute phase of bartonellosis (Carrison's disease) can be diagnosed by microscopical examination of Giemsa or Wright- stained blood smear. It was Alberto Barton who first identified the causative organism in the red blood cells. The causative organism can be isolated in a Columbia Blood Agar culture using blood or bone marrow specimen. Other molecular diagnostic procedures include immunoblot and indirect immunofluorescence and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Some cases of Carrison's disease resolve without medical or surgical intervention. Antibiotics, especially Chloramphenicol, have been used for the treatment of Carrison's disease, because Carrison's disease is closely associated with salmonella infection, which is opportunistic in people with this disease.
During the acute phase of the disease, a combination of fluoroquinolones, such as Ciprofloxacin or Chloramphenicol, together with a B-lactam antibiotic like penicillins are usually used for treatment of children; while either Ciprofloxacin or Chloramphenicol are used for adults.
The eruptive phase of the disease does not respond to treatment with Chloramphenicol. However, antibiotics such as azithromycin, erythromycin, and ciprofloxacin have shown success in patients. Rifampin and macrolides are used in treating both adults and children.
It's possible to treat Bartonella-related pseudomembranous angiomatous papillomatosis of the oral cavitym using stem cells from the bone marrow of patients who are at risk of infections due to the activity of some pathogenic organisms, such as B. bacilliformis. Bone marrow transplant involves the harvesting of stem cells from the bone marrow, which are then filtered and treated before they are given back to the donor or another patient. The treatment procedure is aimed at transfusing healthy stem cells of the bone marrow after the unhealthy stem cells have been treated and the abnormal cells destroyed.
Patients with Carrison's disease that had treatments of Bartonella-related pseudomembranous angiomatous papillomatosis can undergo a variety of bone marrow transplantation.
Autologous bone transplant is a type of bone marrow transplantation in which stem cells are harvested from the patient's bone marrow. The harvested stem cells are treated, frozen and then given back to the patient.
This type of transplantation is often called bone marrow rescue.
Allogenic bone marrow transplant involves harvesting of healthy stem cells from genetically compatible donor, usually the patient's sibling.
Bone marrow stem cells can also be harvested from a donor unrelated to the patient whose genetic make-up matches with the patient's stem cells; this type is referred to as unrelated bone marrow transplantation.
What they say about us
It`s unbelievable how our life has changed since we had stem cell treatment it`s been nine months.
Mom is calmer, dad is calmer. Why? Because our son is happy, now.continue
I am very very happy with all the care that I received and I recommend this treatment to anybody who want to give it a go. Come and have an open mind and meet these wonderful people who will treat you gently and with respect.
I�ll always be grateful. Thank you.continue
Well, the first month went well. I regained my psychophysical energy, especially in the sport I practice, I felt an improvement.
Now I hope, I hope that in the future, and the doctors tell me that it is better, I hope that in the future I'll feel all the better.continue
It's all been very nice, everybody has been very kind.
I don't think that anyone could fail to be impressed by the level of service and treatments and expertise everyone seems to have here, and, obviously, having medical treatment is not something that people want to have, but at the same time it's been as enjoyable as it could be to do that.continue

Heart disease risk factors include hereditary and other risk factors can help you complete your risk picture. While some of these factors are not modifiable, it's important to learn which ones apply to you.
Heart disease is an equal opportunity killer. Nearly half of all heart attack victims are women, and a woman is 7.5 times more likely to die of a heart attack or stroke than breast or lung cancer. A woman's risk increase if she's had a hysterectomy or her ovaries removed, she is more than seven years beyond menopause, or she is on birth control pills while being regularly exposed to smoking.
Men tend to have heart attacks earlier in life and are more likely to survive them. Within the first year following a heart attack, 39 percent of women die compared to 31 percent of men. African-American women have a 28 percent higher heart disease death rate than white women. After menopause, a woman's risk of heart attack rises steadily.
Because the buildup of fatty deposits continues throughout life, the risk of coronary artery disease and heart attack increases with age for both sexes. Eighty percent of heart attack deaths occur after age 65. Developing healthy lifestyle habits early helps minimize risk later in life.
Family history definitely plays a role in heart disease. When parents or siblings develop coronary artery disease before age 55 in males or before age 65 in females, the risk of developing heart disease early in life doubles. How much is influenced by heredity and how much by lifestyle habits is still unknown. Genetic factors may be present without heart disease developing.
When lifestyle factors such as smoking are added to a genetically susceptible individual, the result is the development of cardiovascular disease. A family may also have patterns that dramatically increase risk such as smoking, obesity, high-fat diets, and sedentary lifestyles. A true genetic component causing very elevated cholesterol levels can be linked with some pronounced, accelerated forms of arteriosclerosis.
Prior Medical History
Anyone with a prior history of vascular disease is at a higher risk of developing coronary artery disease and stroke. This includes a history of:
- Angina
- Angioplasty or stent
- Coronary heart disease
- Carotid atery disease (the arteries in the neck)
- Heart attack
- High red blood cell count
- Peripheral vascular disease (blockages in the abdominal aorta or arteries in the legs)
- Sickle-cell anemia
- Stroke
- TIA ("mini-stroke")
Diabetes increases the risk of developing vascular disease. All diabetics should adhere to the more stringent guidelines that are recommended for those with a prior history of vascular disease.
Metabolic Syndrome
Even mild cardiovascular risk factors, when in combination with other abnormalities, can increase one's risk of developing heart disease. The Metabolic Syndrome is a combination of:
- Abdominal Obesity (waist circumference more than 35" in women, 40" in men)
- Elevated blood glucose (over 100)
- Elevated blood pressure (higher than 130/85)
- Elevated triglycerides (more than 150)
- Low HDL (less than 50 for women, 40 for men)
Any 3 of the above risk factors together increase the chances for cardiovascular disease and/or diabetes. Exercise, improved diet, and weight loss are crucial for reversing the Metabolic Syndrome.
Other Emerging Risk Factors
New information about risk factors is constantly emerging through research. There is evidence that several other factors involving cholesterol (lipid) makeup influence cardiac risk. Current studies will help us understand the effects of female hormones on cardiac risk and whether using medication to raise HDL cholesterol reduces risk. The availability of information from numerous sources makes it imperative to be a discerning consumer.
C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
Studies of healthy men and women have shown that those with elevated C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels have an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. CRP blood levels are not routinely measured. Measuring CRP can identify people at high risk. Aspirin and statin drugs may exert an anti-inflammatory effect and may lower CRP levels.

For some time now I have been thinking about doing one of those confounded LDPs – "an LD what?" I hear you scream. LDP stands for Long Distance Path and there are probably over a hundred of them all over the U.K. and they are usually called 'The "Something" Way'. The famous ones which spring to mind are The Pennine Way, The Dales Way and The Cotswold Way…and the Coast to Coast (or C2C) put together by the late Mister Wainwright! Anyway, I have been thinking about doing some as believe it or not some can be done in a week and a few others can be done in a day – "The Anglezarke Amble" at 21 miles and "The Anglezarke Anguish" at 20 miles. These two do sound doable but it has to be said that 20 miles in one day is a bit of a slog! There are another few that I might want to try if I ever got the time: The Bolton Rotary Way at 50miles – definitely not a one-day event, The Witton Weavers Way (33 miles) and the Ribble Way which is 65 miles. All of the above could be done in just a couple or three days by pretty much anyone that can walk and doesn't mind being on their own for a while. And, at some point in the future I will get around to starting one of them off.
In the interim however is one at 45 miles that I know can be broken down into easily manageable sections and it plays right into my favourite area – The Pendle Way! The Pendle website from where I have copied all of the information below has split the walk down into eight walks that could be done in eight days. However – as that would mean eight visits to Pendle – not in itself a bad thing, but a bit expensive so what I have decided to do is to split this into four days out – not all at once I hasten to add as that also would be a bit decadent! Put simply I shall just add walks one and two together, then the next time three and four..etc
Section 1 – Barrowford to Barnoldswick. A walk of contrasts from gentle riverside paths around Watermeetings to the breezy moorland of Weets Hill with outstanding views into the town of Barnoldswick. Distance = 7.0 Miles.
Section 2 – Barnoldswick to Earby. Industrial archeology alongside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal quickly gives way to undulating limestone hills with two ancient churches to explore. Distance = 5.5 Miles.
Section 3 – Earby to Laneshaw Bridge. This walk skirts the looming bulk of Kelbrook Moor and follows Pendle's earliest turnpike road to enjoy fine views from Knarrs Hill. Distance = 7.0 Miles.
Section 4 – Laneshaw Bridge, Wycoller and Coldwell Inn. Discover the village of Wycoller with its ancient bridges and ruined hall which inspired Charlotte Brontë for her novel 'Jane Eyre'. Distance = 6.5 Miles.
Section 5 – Coldwell Inn to Reedley. From the windswept reservoirs at Coldwell the Way leads down towards the traditional northern terraced streets of Nelson and Brierfield, once the heartland of Lancashire's cotton industry. Distance = 4.5 Miles.
Section 6 – Reedley, Higham and Newchurch. Explore the ancient hunting Forest of Pendle on a walk rich in connections with the Pendle Witches of 1612. Distance = 6.0 Miles.
Section 7 – Newchurch, Pendle Hill and Barley. The immense presence of Pendle Hill has drawn people for centuries as a place of mystery and pilgrimage. The summit offers outstanding views over this wild and beautiful corner of Lancashire. Distance = 5.0 Miles.
Section 8 – Barley to Barrowford. Ancient field tracks lead to a 17th century hall in the village of Roughlee which has associations with the gentlewoman Alice Nutter – the most enigmatic of the Pendle Witches of 1612. Distance = 3.5 Miles.

Get it right. There is nothing such as self-sponsorship visa in Hong Kong when looking to enter and do business. It is simple; you are either working for a completely independent 3rd party employer or yourself. Hong Kong administration will easily and promptly nap such cases and throw the application away.
Comprehensive tests to test application for foreign nationals' sponsorship
At this point, let us look at a scenario where you place an application posing as an employee, but in actual sense, you are an entrepreneur in disguise. In such a case, the following come to play. If the business has not been in operation for more than 2 years and has never sponsored a foreign national, two tests will be done by the authorities.
The authorities will check the working visa approvability to establish whether the applicant has the right skills and experience that cannot be acquired in Hong Kong.
Does the business possess the capacity to make a significant contribution to Hong Kong economy?
Hong Kong administration wants to know beyond reasonable doubt that the employer is indeed a suitable employer. Here, you need to be a little critical. It is not enough to say that a certificate of incorporation is ample proof of the employer's capacity.
The scrutiny is very severe in ascertaining that the immigration policy is implemented in entirety. The immigration department seeks help from all sections of the administration to ensure that applicants meet all the immigration policy requirements. Nothing is skipped.
If you registered a company; go for entrepreneur visa and not the work visa
For many people, the trick of entering Hong Kong is registering a company and then applying for a work visa as an employee of the same business. Well, no matter the way you put it to demonstrate that the company is willing to hire you; the immigration department has tightened the scrutiny. Though the department does not give statistics of the approved and declined applications, only a few applications are approved. The scrutiny is considered in two ways.
Is the company newly established?
Are you a shareholder of the company? Some people mask it with a nominee.
What this implies is that those planning to enter Hong Kong by investment, should not apply for a work visa. It will not go through. The right way to do it is applying for an investment visa.

Wasting Precious Time
I am African american woman married to man of Swedish/Norwegian decent. I was born in Mississippi, he in Minnesota. We both come from very small towns that may not be as accepting to our union. I tend to notice things more than my husband in regards to any disapproving looks and stares. I wish I didn't care so much, but I do. It has more to do with my sensitive nature than my desire to "look for trouble".
We experienced some things early on; some family members not coming to the wedding, double takes and stares as we venture out. I've even had a guy ask with disbelief if I was married to "him" (as he points to my husband who was in conversation with a clerk.) I replied, "Yes, I am." I was ready for a fight (I can be feisty when provoked), but the guy just turned and shook his head. I will let you imagine what race he was.
I was so surprised and angry that someone who had a problem with our being together had the nerve to ask me about it, but also that I felt that I needed to explain myself or my relationship.
These situations, though few, still occur. Like I mentioned before, I wish there was something in me that I could turn off. So that I couldn't notice things, but I do. A friend of mine who is also in an interracial marriage told me that she wished she spent less time (in the beginning) worrying about what other people thought and more about her marriage. I'm trying to get there.

Congratulating his counterpart on successfully hosting the UN High-level Conference on South-South Cooperation in Buenos Aires, Minister Mammadyarov noted that Azerbaijan attaches great importance to the cooperation within this platform.
FM Mammadyarov said that the developing countries face with the similar development problems and therefore, this platform contributes to sharing and discussing the common views, experiences and methods of national development strategies and priorities.
They exchanged views on the current state of Azerbaijan-Argentina bilateral relations and the issues on cooperation agenda. Noting the wide prospects for cooperation in the fields of agriculture, energy, transport, health and tourism, common intention for strengthening the joint efforts was expressed.
Noting that he was following the prominent achievements of Azerbaijan in the socio-economic sphere after the restoration of its independence, Minister Faurie expressed his willingness to visit Azerbaijan.

Toddler tantrums can be difficult to deal with. Most toddlers will have more than one tantrum between one year and five years. Many toddlers will have a lot of tantrums. Helping your toddler to deal with his anger will help to shorten tantrums. Over time it will also help to reduce the number of tantrums.
What is the cause of tantrums?
Toddler tantrums are caused by frustration. Your toddler wants a lot of things:
- he wants to explore and find out about things but some things are dangerous or too difficult.
- he wants to be able to do what he sees you and his brothers and sisters doing but because of his naturally limited abilities, he is not always physically capable of doing what he sees others doing.
- he wants things the way he wants them but you may not always know exactly what he wants and he may not have the language to tell you.
- he wants you to understand him but he doesn't yet have the words to explain how he feels.
- he may be tired or unwell and not able to cope with his usual everyday activities.
So he gets very frustrated at times and a tantrum is often the result.
vary a lot in how many tantrums they have. My son and younger daughter had very few tantrums. However my elder daughter was a
different story. At 10 months she had her first tantrum and she
continued to have at least one tantrum (and sometimes as many as five) a day until she was about 6. She
found it very hard to be a little child and not be able to do exactly
what she wanted or make the world the way she thought it should be.
Also she did not always have the words to explain how she felt or what
she wanted. As she grew up her tantrums grew less as she became able to
do more things for herself and explain what she wanted and how she felt.
How to manage your child's tantrums
Patience is very important when it comes to managing toddler tantrums. It is easy to get angry with your child for being angry. This is a natural reaction but it usually makes the tantrum last longer.
A child having a tantrum is completely unreasonable and will probably not hear much of what you say. So it tends to work best to sit beside your child, touch or hold him if he will let you, and talk in a soothing, quiet tone of voice. If it looks like your child is going to hurt himself or damage something then do your best to contain him and remove anything that could get broken. Let your child know that you understand that he is angry and, if you think you know why he is angry, let him know that too. If you are not sure, then it is best not to say anything as he is likely to get even more angry at not being understood. Instead, when he is calm enough, ask him what made him angry. If he cannot explain, make some suggestions about what you think could have caused him to get so upset.
Once the tantrum is over, cuddle your child and reassure him. That level of anger can be quite disturbing and frightening to a small child, even when it is his own anger. He needs to be given time to calm down and to know that you still love him.
If the tantrum happens in a public place, in the
street or a in a supermarket, you can still follow this approach. Try
not to worry about what other people think. Any parent will know what
you are going through. Your child's wellbeing is far more important
than other peoples' opinions. If you are really embarrassed, then carry
your child to a more private place (the supermarket toilet, perhaps)
and deal with the tantrum there instead.
How to prevent toddler tantrums
Let me say that it is not possible to prevent all tantrums if your child is very tantrum prone. However, there are some things you can do to lessen the number of toddler tantrums you child has.
• Give your child as much freedom to do what she wants as you can but don't be afraid to establish boundaries.
• Explain to your child beforehand why certain things have to happen. For instance, if getting into her car seat regularly causes a tantrum talk to her about it beforehand. Explain where you are going and make it sound fun. Also make sure you have something special and interesting for her to do as soon as she is strapped in.
• Do not ask your child to do something you know she finds difficult when she is tired or hungry.
• Ensure that your child eats little and often. A child with low blood sugar is a tantrum waiting to happen.
• Give your child every chance to succeed. Let her try to do things, even if you think she can't manage it. Trying things is how she learns, so the more you allow her to have a go, the quicker she will become capable and the less frustrated she will be.
• Don't give way. If you have said that your child can't do something and she has a tantrum about it, don't say yes to stop the tantrum. This will only encourage more tantrums if she thinks that a tantrum will help her to get her own way.
• Take time to talk to your child and understand what they want. Doing this means you will more often do what they actually want rather than what you think they want and will avoid quite a few toddler tantrums.
Don't forget that your toddler will outgrow tantrums
eventually. Following the tips above will help make them a thing of
the past as quickly as possible.

Signs You Don't Know How To Relax
I have a pretty high motor, which is great for my work life but not so great for the other areas of my life. Living a go-go-go lifestyle makes me happy. I like to squeeze as much juice out of each day as possible. If I have a social engagement in one part of town, I immediately start asking myself what errands I could run while I'm over there, or if there's another friend who lives in the area to whom I could pay a quick visit. I find a way to turn one activity into three, over-cramming my days, running around like a chicken with her head cut off. When I make these plans, I feel proud, but when the day is over, I feel burnt-out. Having a high motor is a blessing and a curse like that. It also makes it very hard to relax when it's time to relax. I've conditioned my brain to always look for ways to do more—not less. My boyfriend gently says I could work on my vacation behavior because I don't help him relax, either. Here are signs you don't know how to relax.
Your "chill" days involve errands
When you tell yourself you'll do "nothing" on a Saturday, that means you'll pick up a prescription, pick up some items from a home goods store, take a fitness class, list items on Ebay, and re-organize your closet.
If you stay home you must clean
If you force yourself to simply stay home and not run errands on your "chill" day, you always wind up cleaning. You tell yourself you'll just sweep that one area, but suddenly you've bleached the tubs and sinks, cleaned all the windows, dusted every shelf, and the day is gone.
You work on the plane ride to vacation
You test the boundaries of when vacation begins. You will work in the taxi on the way to the airport, in the airport, on the airplane, and in the taxi on the way to the hotel. You're even wrapping up some work in the hotel lobby while waiting for your room to be ready.
You require 24/7 Wi-Fi on vacation
You are diligent about making sure you'll always have access to Wi-Fi on your trip. You've requested the days off. Nobody should be emailing you about work. But you can't stand the idea of not having the option to work at any given moment.
Sitting on the beach never works out
Though a beach day is a nice affordable way to unwind, your attempts to have a beach day are hilarious. You get all packed up—umbrella, cooler of snacks, chair, book, Frisbee—and make the long trek down to the beach. You have to park a 15-minute walk away and walk even further on the beach to find a good spot. Then, you sit down for 20 minutes, find yourself bored, and go home. Or start exercising.
Sitting by the pool is a failure, too
You cannot just sit by the pool. You find yourself thinking, "So, this is it?" Then you start trying to chat up people nearby, but they're trying to nap, suntan, and just—you know—do nothing. You're not reading the room (or the pool area).
You plan real life, on vacation
While you're on vacation, you're already talking about all of the things you'll have to do when you get home. You're looking at your planner, circling openings you have for a teeth cleaning or to take the dog for a check-up. You're not really present on vacation.
You only read books about your career
You can't remember the last time you read a book for pleasure. Every book is about business or career tips. Every book is teaching you a new skill or knowledge you can use in your career. You never just read a romance novel or a humorous book.
You network on vacation
Your networking antenna never goes down. You overhear someone in the Jacuzzi mention what they do, and your wheels start turning on all the ways you could work together. So, you just have to chat her up and exchange information.
You brainstorm on vacation
Everything you see on vacation makes you think about work. It has you brainstorming ideas and thinking about the ways a business operates. You can't just enjoy a resort; you have to look at it with a business mind.
You'll only take a three-day vaca
You won't take more than a three-day vacation. Taking multiple days off of work for a vacation makes you very anxious. You don't want your vacation to interfere with your work, really. But then, that's not a true vacation, is it?
You check out of the hotel early
When it's time to check out of the hotel, you want to do so at the earliest moment possible. Your partner wants to have lunch in a local spot before driving home, but you just want to hit the road. You've checked out and you say vacation is officially over.
You over-pack your weekends
You think you relax on weekends because you socialize, but you over-socialize. You say yes to 10 am yoga with one friend, noon lunch with another, 2pm coffee with another friend, 5pm drinks with this buddy, and dinner with that one. Socializing should leave you feeling energized but the way you do it leaves you feeling exhausted.
You must always watch the clock
You always know what time it is. You never let yourself experience the luxury of not watching the clock. You just over-schedule your life so much that you can't afford to not know what time it is at all times.
Having an unscheduled day makes you panic
Waking up and realize you've planned nothing for your Saturday makes you panic. You instantly text 11 friends to see if they want to meet up and you start looking around your home for DIY projects. You're almost afraid to see what would happen if you just did nothing.

Movie Review: War
This movie has two of my favorite action actors. Jason Statham, and Jet Li. The movie itself starts out action packed and doesn't pause for an instance. In fact, there is a whole lot of gun fighting and hand-to-hand because the storyline revolves around FBI agents investigating an assassin named Rogue whom works for the yakuza, but then starts perpetuating a war between the Triads and the yakuza.
I have to say that it's interesting that with these movies, they're starting to portray asians with actual asians. They even speak the languages, although there was still a mix of Cantonese with Mandarin. I'm guessing that they were hoping that people didn't catch the whole dialect thing.
Movies like this have come a long ways. Even better yet, I'll be getting a copy of War (Widescreen Edition) [affiliate] to complete my Jet Li movie collection (for now).

The popular Start-Up Loans scheme, which provides business loans for 18-30 year olds, will soon be extended to older applicants.
The scheme was already extended earlier this year, having originally been open only to 18-24 year olds. However, the Prime Minister's enterprise adviser, Lord Young, has proposed that the age cap should be removed altogether.
The Start-Up Loans Company, chaired by former Dragons' Den star James Caan, has pledged to cooperate with the government to bring the changes into effect.
Caan said "I welcome Lord Young's recommendation to remove the age cap for Start-Up Loans. Seeing the huge success of the programme to date exceeding our initial targets by 50% leaves me with no doubt that there is significant demand from more mature individuals who want a chance at being their own boss."
Since Autumn of last year, more than 3,500 people have got a loan from the Company and received mentoring. More than 45% of those who have started their business under the scheme were unemployed before being granted the loan demonstrating the schemes potential impact on employment across the country.

Blame it on the region, blame it on the number of employees, blame it on them being the youngest team in the NFL. The Bucs have had 10 employees arrested since January 10th, 2010.
According to Victoria Lim of Bright House Sports Network, Bucs DE Alex Magee was arrested Monday for possession of marijuana and for driving with an expired tag of greater than six months.
That number of arrests – 10 – is glaring, but Magee is one of two players (along with in-season cut Jerramy Stevens) who likely won't be on the 2011 Buccaneers, one of the arrested employees is basically a chauffeur and another arrested player, Mike Williams, wound up in charges dropped. Looking at a similar situation with the Jets, sometimes controversy and accusations of coddling and lack of character can bring a team together.

I'm not a fan of puny women. No siree bob. I like my women to be hard core. Not bitchy. Just tough. The kind of woman who can make a pie from scratch in the morning, change a flat tire at lunch time, raise children (if she wants), get a promotion, lead a company to a profit, unclog the toilet, have an intelligent conversation about world issues and do it all with style. I like a woman who is not afraid to have an opinion but who is open minded enough to consider another perspective. Yep- that's my kinda gal.
Once when I was just out of college, I went on a job interview. The job I was interviewing for was sketchy and I couldn't get a whole lot of information about the company before I went. I showed up and realized it was one of those schemy water purification system sales kind of jobs. I sat down in the room full of other people who also couldn't believe they'd gotten conned into coming to this interview. I debated just getting up and leaving before the presentation started and in walked an attractive twenty something guy who sat down right next to me. He introduced himself as some sort of sales associate with the company. He started asking me questions. After every single thing I said, he said, "Me too!" I have a degree in marketing (Me too!) When I started college I thought I wanted to be an attorney. (Me too!) I'm getting married this fall. (Oh my gosh! Me too!) I just started my period. (Me too!- not really, but you get the point) The company plunked this "me too" guy right next to me to make me feel like everyone else that worked there was just like me. It was a good marketing strategy, they just didn't execute very well.
For years, I think I was a "me too" person. Maybe it's part of being an insecure twenty something. Maybe I'm just feeling reflective as I'm only about a month away from turning 30. Whatever it is, I'm glad that that phase of my life is over. I think the shift in my brain came from finding some value in what I do. When we began the adoption process a few years ago, I finally felt like I had found my passion in life. I found my purpose, my voice, my bliss. For the first time in my life, I felt like I had something to bring to the table that mattered. I had an opinion of my own (imagine that!) and I finally had the confidence to share it. Therefore- this blog was born. People don't always get it, or like it, but I'm okay with that.
When I quit being a "me too!", the people that walked into my life were some of the most amazing women ever. They have depth. They have character. I've always had strong women in my family, but now I was choosing those characteristics for my own friendships. The breadth and depth that being in communities of awesome women has brought to my life has been so enriching. I used to always subscribe to the notion that women are catty and conniving- that is was easier to be friends with men so that there wasn't always "drama". And while it may be true of some women (and men) it is not true of the women that I have around in my grown up life. I think there is something so beautiful about real, grown up women friendships. The kind of friendships that validate you and accept you for who you are but also that challenge you to grow as a person and hold you accountable as you grow. Love it.
I love having friends who can share in each other's joys and let each other have the spotlight accordingly. I love having friends who can kick me in the butt when I need it. I love the support that comes with a great big ol' bunch of gal pals. So today's post is in honor of all of my awesome women friends. You each rock in your own way. You each bring something valuable to the table and I'm grateful for your quiet strength (okay- some of you are not so quiet about it, but I love you just the same!)

Partnership is open to people who are regular attenders of Carey Baptist Church and who feel like they want to make this community their spiritual home and become engaged in the ministry of the church into the community. If you would like to discuss partnership then please contact the office and someone will make a time to meet with you to talk about the other requirements.
When we look at the people, resources and expertise God has drawn together at Carey, the future looks exciting. We see a time when there will be Carey campuses in Perth, Australia and beyond, and there will be an increasing capacity to provide education and support to people who would never be able to provide it for themselves.
We see a future where we will provide hope and compassion to some of the poorest and most oppressed people in the world – where we bring some of our capacity and expertise to work alongside others to support them in their work in education and with families.
We see a change in the cultural climate for communities around the world where a voice of hope and compassion is increasing, and cynicism, fear and oppression is decreasing. We plan to build our capacity to enable us to be part of this transforming vision.
This is a compelling but more distant future, and to get there much needs to be done. The next step is to consolidate our work at Harrisdale and continue to develop the Forrestdale campus.
Please take the time to read the 2020 Vision Document before submitting your application. [see link below]
Complete an Online Partnership Form
Simply fill in the details online and your form will be submitted to the Pastors of Carey Baptist Church. You will be contacted in time to meet and discuss your request.

Removable Partial Dentures in Jensen Beach, FL
Having missing teeth can affect every area of your life. From your self-confidence to eating and even speaking, missing teeth can be inconvenient, embarrassing, and take your mind off what's important - enjoying life! We offer several tooth replacement options in our dental office, including dentures in Jensen Beach, FL.
How Can I Replace Missing Teeth with Dentures in Jensen Beach, FL?
If you are facing extractions or already have multiple missing teeth, we offer a number of options to complete your smile. From dental implants, to bridges, and removable partial dentures, we provide a wide variety of solutions. Dr. Chris Wigley, your top dentist in Jensen Beach, FL, can help in determining the option that will work best for your budget and lifestyle.
Partial Removable Dentures
For patients who do not qualify for dental implants due to a medical condition or for patients who want a more economical option, we offer partial removable dentures. Partial dentures are a reliable and cost-effective way to complete your smile quickly and effectively.
We place artificial teeth in an acrylic or metal base that snaps into your mouth, using your existing teeth as anchors. The clasps can be metal or we can disguise them so that they complement your smile by placing crowns or making the clasps gum colored.
Your artificial teeth will look natural! We custom design partial dentures for each patient, matching the shade, shape, and size of your teeth so that no one notices your denture and you can speak, laugh, and eat confidently.
Benefits of Partial Dentures
Aside from being a cost-effective way to replace missing teeth, your partial removable denture in Jensen Beach, FL will also act as a placeholder for your missing teeth. When you lose teeth, your remaining teeth will begin to shift toward the gaps in your smile. This creates problems with your bite and may create additional oral health conditions such as tooth loss, periodontal disease, malocclusion (a misaligned bite), and decay at the root due to exposure.
Caring for Your Partial Removable Denture
All dental care begins with taking care of your teeth and gums. Since your remaining natural teeth provide the anchor to retain your partial denture, making sure your teeth and gums stay healthy will protect your investment. Excellent home care combined with routine dental exams and professional dental cleanings will go a long way to making sure you avoid additional tooth loss.
Your denture in Jensen Beach, FL should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner designed especially for dentures daily using cool water. Bringing your partial into your dental appointments will allow us to check it for damage, clean it, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a good fit. With the proper care, your denture can last for many years, providing you with a reliable solution to missing teeth.
Considering Dentures in Jensen Beach, FL? Call Us Today!
Contact Jensen Beach Dental today to schedule an evaluation with Dr. Wigley. Our team looks forward to welcoming you to our office and finding the treatment options that will give you a healthy and confident smile.

As a business owner, it can be a shocking experience to find that your business is burning through its budget. Taking immediate action is usually necessary but that doesn't mean you should opt for quick-fix solutions.
The best way to reduce long term expenses is to carefully analyse the way in which your business operates, looking for long-term solutions that could save your company hundreds or even thousands of pounds. Here are some tips on how to get a firmer grip on your business expenses.
Not properly identifying cost can be one of the biggest leaks in your business' finances. By drawing up a flow chart of your operation, whilst carefully costing every element of your business, you can identify where overspending is occurring. This could mean finding a new supplier or modifying your product to come in on budget but you will inevitably be making long-term savings that matter.
A good example of this is businesses wasting money on fuel for their business fleet. By changing practices such as using a fuel card, businesses can have a clearer picture of their outgoings, a more advanced means of responding, and a gateway to significant savings and increased efficiency.
Sit down and examine every process in your business – you will no doubt be able to identify needless or inefficient processes.
Devising ways of improving your processes is paramount. It could well be that your staff need more or better training, but if you factor in the long-term profits and happiness of a properly skilled workforce, it will most definitely be worth it.
Speak to your employees
Asking your workforce where your business could improve can result in some extremely useful, humbling and money saving feedback. Your staff knows the ins and out of the business that can often be forgotten by managers under pressure from people higher up the chain. Holding regular feedback sessions as well as having a suggestions book is a great way of keeping on-going feedback and discussion.
Easy savings
It can be easy to get lost in the finer details of business operations, but there are many ways in which your company can save money without drastic change. Consider things such as wasteful appliances being left on, unnecessary heating or the price of the paper in your office printers. By cutting back to using only what you need and looking for savings everywhere, you could be making considerable savings with little effect to your day to day operations.
The customer is always right
Customers are a great source of information. Not only are they a fresh pair of eyes, they are ultimately the people who will make or break your business' fortunes.
Customer feedback is very useful for evolving your products and services, but it can also help you identify areas where you need to focus more resources, and also where you don't need to spend so much. Customers are unlikely to say, "You should spend less on…" but by asking them what makes them loyal to you will give you an idea of what you need to prioritise.

i've come a long way in the past 10 years. i've graduated high school and college. i've broken up and fallen down and picked up the pieces. i've adopted a cat.
but i still heart britney spears. i don't care what anyone says. i don't care about her personal issues. all i care about is her upbeat, silly, dance pop music that i can sing my lil head off to whenever i need a pick-me-up — and "blackout," her latest album out today, looks like it'll provide me with just that.
I'm not gonna write out a long music review (i've never been very good at that). i'm not even going to recommend anyone buys it. i just want to put this out there — her die-hard fans will buy her album no matter what. and 10 years later, die-hard fan, i still am.

You might wanna check these places:
- Canada: - How about a 3-day trek starting at Bobbie Burns Lodge - home to the region's best-stocked wine cellar. Try the zip lines, foot bridges and iron axes needed to reach your 10,000-foot date with destiny :).
- Brazil: - Alpha Adventure experience, anyone? It's a car-free island 100 miles from Rio de Janiero. It's an experience of aggro-sounding, week long guy retreat with spiking activities such as rappelling and machete-hacking. More refined male pursuits are also options such as yoga and samba lessons.
- Portugal: - Offers some of the best surfing in Europe such as Nomad Surfer's near Praia de Amado. There, you can get instruction and gear plus chilled-out yoga lessons.
- Tanzania: - Go horse back riding and explore its 350,000 square-acre Singita Grumeti Reserve. Consists of 4 nights convoys - 6 riders maximum, with 25 miles passing herd of giraffees, zebras and wildebeests.
- Maldives: It's more than 20 hours flight from the US, but worth it! Check the boat ride offers that connects five nearby islands to form a 12-mile biking and hiking path for visiting villages along the coasts.

Installing Sprayed Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofing system on a new building, or retrofitting your older roof with an SPF roof can save you money in a lot of different ways. Most of the causes of additional roofing expenses don't exist when you have a foam roof system.
Foam Roofs have no seams to split or pull apart and allow water to enter. Foam is ideal for saw tooth or other irregular roof shapes that are difficult or impractical for old fashioned low-tech roofing materials.
Sprayed Polyurethane Foam is also the best insulator on the market. Very little maintenance or repair is ever needed, and with proper care,
it is the last roof you will ever need to buy
Density of SPF is important when it comes to strength and Thermal Resistance. Obviously, higher density means increased strength and higher R-value. Most SPF roofs have densities ranging from about 2.5 pounds per cubic foot to 3 pounds per cubic foot.
Three pound density foam has a compressive strength of about 50 psi and an R-value of 7.14 installed and 6.86 aged (these numbers may vary slightly depending on the foam manufacturer.
Here's an example of how well a good SPF roof insulates. A school district in southern California had recently installed some new, one-room relocatable classroom buildings.
During the late spring and early fall, these classrooms were using their air conditioners an average of 50 minutes every hour. The school district installed foam roofs on some of these classrooms in order to see if it would provide an energy savings. The roofs consisted of three pound density foam, 1.5 inches thick with an acrylic coating system. The air conditioner usage was cut down to fifteen minutes every hour.
That's a fifty-eight percent savings on energy costs.
Sprayed Polyurethane Foam is perfect for many different waterproofing applications. Because it is composed of billions of closed cells, the foam acts as an air barrier, preventing moisture infiltration into the building.
This ability minimizes dew point problems, which unchecked lead to water condensation inside of the structure. Moisture infiltration into the building envelope is the number one cause of building deterioration.
Even when the top coat of a foam roofing system is damaged, the underlying foam will keep the roof from leaking. The Superdome in New Orleans was damaged once in a severe hail storm. Thousands of hairline cracks appeared in the top coat, but no leaks ever occurred, even though it wasn't repaired for over a decade!
If a penetration does occur all the way from the foam layers, the water infiltration will be isolated only to the area where the membrane has been penetrated. Small penetrations in foam roofing systems can be repaired easily with an elastomeric caulk, reinstating the integrity of the system.
Water ponding is quite often a problem with conventional roofing systems. When applying the polyurethane foam in reroofing situations, it is very easy to build up areas of greater thickness while spraying so that water will drain properly. This also eliminates the problem of the additional weight load associated with water accumulation.
Sprayed Polyurethane Foam is a combination of isocyanate and polyol. These two components are fed through a proportioner which heats then pumps the two separate components to the spray gun,
where they are mixed and sprayed onto the substrate.
Because it is sprayed onto the roof as a liquid, it forms a single continuous structure that is seamless and very stable. SPF requires a clean surface for proper application. It must be dry, free of contaminants like oil, and properly fastened to the substrate in accordance with the proper building codes.
A protective elastomeric top coat is required which is typically sprayed on as well, but it is also possible to be applied with hand or power rollers.
Foam roofing has many advantages over traditional roofing methods, and as you read through this web site you will learn a lot more about them. Here are some brief examples:
Polyurethane foam is applied as a liquid, creating a single monolithic membrane that covers the entire roof. There are no seams or joints, the source of the majority of leaks in traditional roofs.
The foam can be sprayed onto virtually any surface, irregularly shaped roofs and protrusions are readily taken care of.
Foam roofing typically weighs around 50 lbs. per square, versus 800 lbs. for a built-up roof and 100 lbs. for ballasted single-ply roofs.
Thermal Insulation:
SPF has the best insulating properties available for commercial construction today.
Foamed roofs require a minimum of upkeep, creating little waste and have an indefinite lifespan.

The overall view of the proposal for a Shopping Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The project scope related to the renovation of an existing property, and the clients wanted an aesthetically stylish and attactive solution for the renovation of their property. The budget was very tight, and thus extensive demolition or large scale new construction was prohibitive. Existing infrastructural elements were to be included in the final design.
My role on this project was a collaborative design effort with RMV Architects, and once the design was finalized I developed a series of architectural renderings for the client.

Offering gross fixed interest of 7.5% per year for 10 years. Minimum investment of £2,000 or £400 for local investors1. Working in partnership with the corporate finance team at Triodos Bank, Linton Hydro Ltd ('Linton Hydro') today launches a £2.5 million secured bond issue to develop a hydro power scheme on the Linton Lock at Nun Monkton, North Yorkshire. The bond will pay 7.5% gross annual interest for 10 years. The money raised will be used to finance the development of a 280 kW hydro power scheme on the river Ouse and to acquire an adjacent 100 kW operational hydro power scheme. It is anticipated that the Linton Lock scheme will be completed and generating electricity by the first quarter of 2017. Once the Linton Lock scheme is operational, the two projects are forecast to generate a combined 1.87 GWh of electricity – enough to power 450 homes equivalent2. The two schemes will be the biggest hydro projects in Yorkshire, using the largest Archimedean screw in the world. Dave Mann, Director of Linton says: "This project will harness the power of the river Ouse to produce a significant amount of clean renewable electricity as well as build new fish passes allowing salmon, sea trout and other species to move upstream and reach historic spawning grounds." Environmental benefits The Linton Lock scheme will bring additional environmental benefits to the river Ouse through the installation of a series of modern fish passes alongside the new turbine. Currently migratory fish species struggle to progress upstream to their historic spawning grounds due to difficulty in passing the lock. An existing dilapidated fish pass at the lock will be refurbished and three new modern fish passes installed as part of the scheme which will significantly improve the migration of salmon, sea trout, brown trout, lamprey and eels in the river. 1 2 Resident at a postcode which is within 15 miles of Linton on Ouse Estimate based on the most recent statistics from the DECC showing that annual UK average domestic household consumption is 4,115 kWh Local benefits The Linton Lock scheme is pre-accredited for the Government's Feed-in-Tariff scheme for renewable energy and will also sell electricity to a local free-range chicken farm at a price lower than the prevailing rate, and any surplus to the national grid. The existing 100kW operational project already has a power purchase agreement in place with LoC02 Energy, an independent sustainable energy provider. Dan Hird, head of Triodos Bank Corporate Finance, comments: "The Linton Lock hydro power scheme is a great example of a renewable energy project which will benefit both local businesses and the environment to achieve sustainability. We are delighted to make this investment opportunity available to individual investors who want to combine a financial return with positive local and environmental impact." Repayments Linton Hydro will repay investors' capital in eight equal annual instalments from the third year, with the first instalment payable on 30 June 2019 and the final instalment payable on 30 June 2026. The company is offering investors interest of 7.5% gross per year on the capital outstanding. Payment of interest and repayment of capital is dependent of the successful construction and operation of the new scheme and the continued success of the operational scheme. The Linton Hydro shareholders have already invested £494,000 of capital into the schemes and this will remain in the company as risk capital until the secured bonds are repaid in full. An investment in Linton Hydro Ltd bonds is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Linton Hydro Ltd's ability to pay the interest and repay the bonds is not guaranteed and is dependent on the success of its business model, in particular the successful construction of the new hydro scheme at Linton Lock and the continued success of the existing 100kW hydro scheme. Linton Hydro Ltd bonds are unquoted securities with fixed repayment dates and although the bonds are transferable, investors should be aware that they may not be able to access their capital during the life of the bond.

What Is Competency-Based Education?
April 2016. Competency education, an educator-led reform, is taking root in schools and districts across the country. The concept behind competency education is simple: learning is best measured by students demonstrating mastery of learning targets, rather than the number of hours spent in a classroom. By redesigning the education system around actual student learning, we will effectively…

"During the morning it rained persistently; and we were glad to see more water coming to us, and so comfortable in the tents at Semna that we delayed our start till the sun shone again in the early afternoon. Then we rode westward down the valley in the fresh light." 7POW;ch25
In the morning the rain eased, along with the Vodafone reception. With the beautiful view of the up-and-coming border ranges, there were worse places to be stuck. In particular the catastrophe unfolding in Brisbane.
The cottage is off the grid, self-sufficient with its own solar power.
However, a quick drive around shows that the bridges are in fact all intact. The roads now open as far as Rathdowney. The police there tell us that our planned route, Lions Rd, is closed; as is the alternative Mt Lindsey Hwy. However, we have the opportunity to move our stuckness forward. We book in at the Rathdowney pub rather than camp along The Lions Rd.
The riding is great, there is no traffic.
The humidity rises, but we reach Rathdowney and rehydrate.
Steak sandwiches, XXXX beer, a jukebox and an early night. Dawn start tomorrow as we have extra kms and hills as we bet on the longer Mt Lindsay Hwy route openning before the Lions Road.

No one forgets their first time.
The apprehension of the task ahead, the uncertainty of what to expect once the action kicks off, the doubt over your performance and, of course, the big question: what safety precautions will be used? Even paintballs pros start somewhere though, so if you're new to paintball and worried about giving it a go for the first time, let us put your mind at rest.
First of all, don't tell anyone it's your first time – they'll only make you more of a target. Instead swagger in with all the cock-sure attitude of Clint Eastwood-meets-Jason Statham, and then simply follow these 3 golden rules….simples.
1. Always listen to your marshal. Whether they're imparting vital mission objectives, debriefing you on essential safety matters or just cracking a joke, always pay attention. Paintball marshals like to share their knowledge and experience, so grab it while it's available.
2. Don't break any rules. Doing so will undoubtedly make you look like the new boy.
3. Think before you fire. The temptation's to run screaming through the woods, spraying everything in sight with paint right? Well look around you. Are the more experienced players doing this? No? Well maybe you shouldn't then either. Use your head and think 'strategy'.

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha is a rather fascinating story that attempts to delve into the economic, social and cultural realities of warfare and the affect that they have on the wider population of numerous kingdoms, or in countries. The only other series that explored the affects of economy on kingdoms and those who rule them so far has to be Ookami to Kyoushinryou (Spice and Wolf), interestingly enough the Maoyuu Maou Yuusha reunites Holo and Lawrence in the form of their voice actors, although Fukuyama Jun is now stuck in my mind as The Dark Flame Master thanks to Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai. What is particularly interesting about Maoyuu Maou Yuusha is its setup, with Yuusha on a quest to destroy the terrible Maou and rid the world of 'his' corruption and destruction. Such a story sounds like something out of any classic fantasy, with elements of King Arthur and his noble quest, or even Lord of the Rings and its world where good and evil are apparently easily defined.
So far the show is ok. I knew it would have a lot of ecchi moments. I just hope the action is there next episode.
