One of the best parts of an engagement is shopping for the wedding accessories, of course. However, despite how much fun shopping for the "big day" can be, it can also be stressful. A bride has a lot of pressure to find flawless accessories that portray her unique style, beauty, and love. Hence why brides tend to bring their closest friends and family shopping to find the wedding dress and accessories of their dreams. The dress is always a showstopper and most of the time takes precedence, while the accessories are often left as the final touch like frosting on a cake.
Last Look is the quintessential platform for gaining feedback for small wedding details such as the bride's shoes, bags, or jewelry. All of the accessories can be reviewed, discussed, and finally approved. The bride can easily keep photos confidential or tailored to a specific viewing party by strategically adding certain individuals to particular "projects" on the app. For example, the groom traditionally can not see the wedding dress, so he could only have access to projects such as the location or flowers.The separation of projects can be a huge organizational asset as there are so many tasks at hand when planning a wedding–large or small.
For the all of the brides who resonate with the roller coaster of emotions that comes with shopping for the perfect wedding accessories, we are here to help. Take the wedding planning one approval at a time with Last Look and keep reading for five chic, quirky, and covetable wedding accessories for the modern-day bride.

2. Grace Gold-Tone Onyx Headband, Rosantica available at Net-A-Porter, $360

Alexandra Browne is a New York native, born and raised, and was engaged last December 2015. She is currently transitioning careers to manage a showroom in the Flatiron district of Manhattan and is moving homes, all on top of planning her wedding–which is next month! Structure and organization is essential when balancing this many tasks. Keep reading to find out Last Look helped Alexandra plan to tie the knot.
When did you start using Last Look?
Alexandra: I began using Last Look the moment I got engaged. I believe it's one of the most important times a bride should utilize the app. I had so many ideas I wanted to incorporate into my big day so the app was a great way to keep everything organized. Right now, I have about 12 projects which I have been using the app for over the past year.
Who in your wedding party uses Last Look?
A: Primarily my bridesmaids and I. I have six bridesmaids who live all over–Long Island, Florida, Chicago, they're everywhere. There are also six groomsmen in our wedding party, but mainly the bridesmaids use the app to coordinate small details and accessories.
How has Last Look made an impact on your wedding planning?
A: The app was the most helpful when picking out bridesmaids dresses. I decided on the Jenny Yoo Soft Tulle Collection, but wasn't sure of the cut or color I wanted. I was between Lilac and Mayan Blue. I had my bridesmaids try them on and upload photos to see what cut and color worked best. A unique feature of the collection is that it can be styled in several ways because the loose panel design. The panels can be tied in any way imaginable. I wanted each bridesmaid to wear the dress a little differently, so it was great to be able to share feedback in one central place.
How often do you use Last Look and at what time during the day?
A: I do my wedding planning in bursts. I would hard core plan for two weeks then take a break to balance work and travel. When I'm in the "wedding planning zone", I use it a lot. Probably daily during those times, either after my 5:00 am work out and while commuting to work or right before bed around 10:00pm.
Do you use Last Look outside of your wedding planning?
A: In the past, I managed social media profiles for various companies. If someone wanted to approve a photo, I would often share the picture through the app. Sharing photos through the app was often more convenient than sending an email or meeting in person. I also used the app from time to time with my fiancé when deciding on home decor. We are in the process of moving, so the app was very useful when envisioning a layout for a particular room.
What feature of the app do you like the most?
A: I love the check "yes" and x "no" feature. It's an easy way to give feedback quickly rather than writing out a whole comment. I also like the export to PDF feature because I can save the photos and comments on my computer or easily send to my friends and family.
Have your friends and/or peers involved in your wedding given you further feedback about the app?
A: My bridesmaids like how easy it was to use. Different people in my bridal party like to communicate in different ways–some like to talk on the phone, some like to text, and some like to use the app. Overall, I received great feedback as the app is extremely user friendly. One of my bridesmaids just got engaged last week and after using it for my wedding, I think she will use it for hers too!

Last Look App Brings An 'On-Demand' Angle To Content Approval
By Lauryn Chamberlain
May 9, 2016 — 12:33 pm
With the rise of the "uberfication" of everything, a plethora of consumer-facing apps have sprung up to address mobile users' on-demand desires. But the need for immediacy and mobile access is equally present in a business-to-business context, and this is the niche that Last Look app hopes to fulfill for creative professionals.
Last Look — which has both B2B and B2C applications — allows users to share photos within a private group so that fellow users (largely co-workers or clients) can comment on, edit, and approve content in a seamless manner. This can streamline and simplify the process of doing everything from singing off on ad content to approving photos to be shared on a brand's social media page.
"Authenticity is of the utmost importance to consumers," said Andrea Marcucci, founder and CEO of Last Look App. "Last Look allows a company to address this by selecting and approving photos that will be released to the public."
GeoMarketing: How does Last Look function in both a B2B and B2C context? Can you give an example?
Andrea Marcucci: Sure. For a first example, let's say you're a fashion stylist and you're working on set. You are working together with a client to create a campaign or a project.
So, you're there, and you're creating the project, and you need to share images with your client, who may not be able to be on set. The app enables the client to see what images have been approved, and in turn allows the person on set to get approvals back from the client in a concise way. The team is all on board and is all on the same page. In the same vein, it also has great applications for social media teams [looking for] image approval.
Another example, in a more consumer-facing context, would be a wedding planner working with a client. A bride has to make so many different decisions — cakes, dresses, bridesmaids dresses, shoes, etc. So this is an easy way for her and her planner to see all of her projects in one place and to see what has been approved or "checked off."
As the world has become increasingly mobile-first, that has changed these internal business processes as well as consumer-facing marketing. How is Last Look addressing businesses' needs?
Last Look is addressing the need for companies, from large corporations to small blogs, to stay up to speed with technology, especially in the creative production space. It is also addressing a social need for consumers — right now targeting mainly brides and social media junkies — to communicate with their peers and receive input in a fast, efficient manner.
One would think by texting or emailing images the approval process would be simple, but it isn't. Emails go back and forth with every iteration, and the conclusion is that they can be burdensome. Last Look creates a space where everyone is on the same page in real-time, saving time and money and sanity.
Last Look raised an initial Angel round two years ago. What's next for the company?
So many things! We are solidifying exciting partnerships, which we will announce shortly. We want to be the go-to platform for approving images.

Book Reviews
[C]aptivating...a cinematic portrait of a historical figure far more complex and compelling than any fictional creation, and a wide, panning, panoramic picture of her world.... Ms. Schiff seems to have inhaled everything there is to know about Cleopatra and her times, and she uses her authoritative knowledge of the era—and her instinctive understanding of her central players—to assess shrewdly probable and possible motives and outcomes.... Ms. Schiff also demonstrates a magician's ability to conjure the worlds her subject inhabited with fluent sleight of hand.
Michiko Kakutani - New York Times
If you think two millennia of dusty research and hoary legend have told us all we need to know about this woman, you're in for a surprise. Stacy Schiff...has dug through the earliest sources on Cleopatra, sorted through myth and misapprehension, tossed out the chaff of gossip, and delivered up a spirited life...for all its splendor of detail, Schiff's book is a model of concision, and its brisk, vividly written chapters move with a swiftness the Nile never enjoyed...a great, glorious spree of a story.
Marie Arana - Washington Post
Startling. Rarely have so distant a time and obscured a place come so powerfully to life. It is a great achievement. It is also a provocative one. Faced with the perplexing question of how to write about a person when the evidence is sketchy and often misleading, Schiff has hit on an ingenious solution. She has written a biography in negative, describing the outlines of what she cannot know by brilliantly coloring around the queen.
Louisa Thomas - Newsweek
Schiff's learning is immense, but worn lightly and with an assured grasp of human nature.
Cullen Murphy - Vanity Fair
(Starred review.) An excellent, myth-busting biography...Schiff enters...completely into the time and place, especially the beauty and luxury of the "great metropolis" of Alexandria, Cleopatra's capital.... And though we all know the outcome, Schiff's account...makes for tragic, page-turning reading. No one will think of Cleopatra in quite the same way after reading this vivid, provocative book.
Publishers Weekly
(Starred review.) [A] swift, sympathetic life of one of history's most maligned and legendary women....[Cleopatra] took into her bed some of the most powerful men in history (Julius Caesar, Mark Antony), maneuvered through a male world with intelligence, skill and sanguinary.... Successfully dissipating all the perfume, Schiff finds a remarkably complex woman—brutal and loving, dependent.

The Bachelorette
Is Rachel Lindsay Engaged? 'Bachelorette' 2017 Star Spills on Proposal!
We knew Rachel Lindsay was a rulebreaker!
Tradition dictates that the Bachelorette star isn't supposed to reveal whether or not she's engaged before her finale — but our Dallas gal doesn't mind doing that in the least!
Rachel is back from filming Season 13, the show is about to kick into gear on-screen, and we've met the 31 men competing for her heart this year.
So, of course, everyone is wondering: Who does she pick, and are they engaged?
Well, if you click over here you can spoil yourself on that first question, and as for the engagement, the attorney did that spoiling all herself!
The Season 13 star revealed on a May 18 press call that she's "very much engaged!"
Gushing about her new fiancé she says, "If I had a list, he would check everything off."
She continues, "Every morning I wake up and pinch myself."
That's not to say there aren't hurdles already!
The 32-year-old admits that, while she's experienced with long-distance relationships, the real "hard" part is keeping the big news all to themselves.
"It's hard when you're so excited about something and you can't share it with everyone," she admits.
The brunette beauty continues, "But we make sure to communicate with each other all the time, and that's all you can really do."
As for wedding plans, the level-headed gal is taking her time with this relationship.
"I want us to get the chance to get to know each other," she reasons.
Then again, she's also not opposed to a quick engagement. All she knows is she wants more time with her new man.
"Maybe it will be quick. Maybe it will be a longer engagement like Shawn [Booth] and Kaitlyn [Bristowe]," she muses.
"We just really want to get to know each other."
The Bachelorette premieres Monday, May 22 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

David Hasselhoff appears as himself in this month's The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie
Did your kids talk you into this? I took this role specifically because my kids said, "Oh my God, Dad, you have to do it." I was like, What's the big hoopla about SpongeBob?
Whose body is more inherently buoyant, SpongeBob's or Pamela Anderson's? SpongeBob's buoyancy rivals Pamela's.
Did you get to keep the 750-lb. David Hasselhoff replica made for the film's special effects, or did that go straight to the Smithsonian? I'm deciding what to do with it. Right now my kids say we should use it as...

On 4-6 May, the 3rd edition of the Scientix Conference took place in Brussels, Belgium. This three day event focussed on teachers and educators from Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) disciplines, and was aimed at working together to improve STEM activities and informal science education. The Astronomy & Society Group of Leiden University exhibited projects as Universe in a Classroom.
More than 350 teachers, policymakers, researchers and project managers participated in the conference. During the three days, UNAWE was presented at a booth with other projects organised by the Astronomy & Society Group, such as Space Awareness and IAU astroEDU.Visitors could take a closer look at the Universe in a Box educational kit or learn more about the various teaching resources available on the website. Also, everyone could participate in a contest to win a UNAWE Earth Ball, an inflatable version of our planet that can be used in the classroom using the Earth Ball activity book.
In the plenary session, Mahbobah Ahmadi promoted Universe in the Classroom and the other projects to the audience. "You don't need a telescope to explore the Universe and inspire children with science." She explained how astronomy is a very useful tool to teach children that we all share the same planet within the universe which gives them an idea of global citizenship.
Mahbobah Ahmadi gives a presentation about the projects of the Astronomy & Society Group of Leiden University during the plenary session.
On the second day, Open Science Hub organised the workshop "STEM in the classroom: How DIY water quality sensors bring science to our students". Over 40 participants created sensors with which students can measure the quality of water and soil around the school.
The closing ceremony started with the UNAWE Earth Ball awards: 5 lucky participants won a UNAWE Earth Ball to use in their educational activities. The conference was closed with an award ceremony for the creators of the best poster and the participant that posted the best tweets about Scientix.

Scholarships and grants are hands down the best way to pay for college. That's because they offer "free" money. Other options to pay for school like loans have costs, such as the interest on the loan. Students should always look for scholarships and grants before getting a student loan.
College scholarships and grants are similar in that they don't have to be repaid. The main difference between the two is that grants are typically given based on need, while scholarships are often awarded based on the student's performance.
Do you excel in academics, sports or the arts? You might qualify for a performance-based scholarship.
Competitions or contests
If you like the idea of writing an essay or entering a sweepstakes for a scholarship, there are plenty of scholarships in this category.
If you're part of a particular ethnic, cultural or social group, many companies and non-profits sponsor scholarships to ensure individuals from a variety of backgrounds have access to a college education.
Business and community based
Local businesses and civic organizations may sponsor colleges to fund the educations of local students.
Grants are often based on need criteria, which vary depending on the source of the grant. However, many providers of student grants rely on information in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to evaluate a student's need. Currently, the FAFSA is released on October 1 of every year. Make sure to complete it as quickly as possible and return it for early consideration for aid.
|Scholarship Resource
sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor
Don't let the name of this U.S. Department of Labor site fool you. While the main purpose of this site is to facilitate job search, it also has a robust scholarship directory with more than 7,500 scholarships, fellowships and grants. The site's helpful filtering feature makes it easy to find scholarships for your discipline, state and degree type.
This helpful site links you to several scholarship databases, and runs a free scholarship search for you
Peterson's provides one of the largest free undergraduate scholarship databases available! They also have scholarship offerings geared towards international students.
|College Board
The College Board provides a free search for scholarships, other financial aid, and internships from more than 2,200 programs.
Formerly, scholarshipexperts.com, this is a fast, easy and free way to find scholarships on the Internet. It delivers accurate and timely search results that have been filtered and customized to match unique user profiles.
|Student Scholarship Search
Student Scholarship Search provides students and parents with a FREE searchable database of college scholarships and grants. No registration required. Scholarships updated daily.

Smart Tip
Did you know local or business scholarships may be less competitive than national scholarships?
Is there a church or cultural organization that you belong to that has a scholarship program?
Do your parents or you work at a company that offers scholarships to the families of its employees?
Is there a local alumni association for the school you are attending that has a scholarship for a local student?
High school counselors and financial aid officers are great sources for finding out about scholarships.
SunTrust explains how you can save money on college by making the most of financial aid.

I searched high and low, and could not believe the price when I saw it on Just Electronics' website, it was a no-brainer! Also bought cabling and connectors, and will definitely continue supporting this supplier in the future.

A FAUX-FELINE fraudster scammed fans of hairless cats in Canada out of hundreds of dollars.
JoAnne Dyck thought she was shelling out $700 for a Sphynx kitten she named Vlad, but two weeks after she bought him, he started sprouting an orange coat of hair.
"He was like a little tiny kitten, no more than 8 weeks old, and he was naked. Completely hairless," Dyck told CBC. "It looked like a Sphynx because he was very, very skinny and his face was really angular."
But when Dyck brought Vlad to her vet in Alberta, she learned that she had been duped by the original seller, who advertised the cat by posting an ad on the classified site Kijiji.
"I thought he was crying for his mom, but he probably was in pain," Dyck said.
The vet informed her that Vlad had been shaved and may have even had a hair removal gel like Nair applied to his skin, which caused cuts and other irritations.
Dyck posted her story to social media, where two other women revealed that they had experienced similar situations that stemmed from purchasing a hairless cat from Kijiji.
Shayla Bastarache, 20, also bought a Sphynx kitten for $650 from the site because she thought she was getting a good deal. The pure-bred feline typically costs around $1,200.
But like Vlad, Bastarache's cat, whom she named Moofasa, started sporting a black coat within a few weeks.
"They just grew their hair back," Bastarache told the Canadian Press.
And when she tried to reach out to the seller, the person's cellphone number was no longer in service.
Bastarache kept her hirsute Moofasa, but Dyck found her cat a different home — claiming it was because Vlad didn't get along with her other kitties.
Dyck did admit she learned a lot from the cat saga, including that prospective owners should always go to a breeder's home and meet the cat first.
"Definitely go to where the cats are being bred. Never meet them anywhere. If they don't let you come to their house, their residence, it's probably a bad sign," Dyck told CBC. "Just be sure that it's a reputable breeder if you're looking for one of these specialty cats."

'Pretargeting' Can't Work on Inferences Alone
Despite advances in advertising technology, retargeting is far from an exact science. Ads that follow consumers who seem like good prospects are often actually hitting too late in the buying cycle, after the consumer has already made a purchase. (That's how ad tech often determines that you're a good prospect.) So retargeting can result in ineffective campaigns, often missing the mark on truly "in-market" shoppers.
To address these inefficiencies, the ad tech community has recently adopted the psychological concept of "priming," in order to "pretarget" audiences. Marketers can now screen audiences to find the consumers that are in-market and have declaratively expressed their purchase intent. The net result is custom audience segments of consumers that are ready -- or primed -- to buy.
Priming, a term from the field of psychology, refers to an implicit memory effect in which exposure to a stimulus influences an individual's behavior toward a later stimulus or event. The individual may be unaware that the first stimulus has influenced her response to the second stimulus.
Marketers who understand priming can use it to their advantage by pretargeting their audiences -- delivering appropriate ads to consumers who have already declared themselves in-market. By pretargeting, advertisers can capture consumers at the beginning of the purchase funnel. Pretargeting marks a vast improvement over plain vanilla retargeting, which often hits consumers after they've already made a purchase.
Tom Goodwin eloquently described the inefficiencies of retargeting in an Ad Age column. Goodwin notes that notwithstanding all of the advances made in personalization and data science, retargeting is still based on a murky collage of uncorrelated past behavior. He describes pretargeting as predictive advertising -- using data on various fronts to infer with good odds what consumers need, perhaps even before they realize it.
Unfortunately, simply using probabilistic data to pretarget will only enable marketers to hazard a guess that an ad will land in front of a consumer, either before or during the buying phase. While predictive advertising and probabilistic data are arguably more effective than most retargeting, they are still synthetic approximations for real answers.
By contrast, a deterministic data strategy has marketers asking consumers directly if they are, in fact, in-market for a certain item (for example, "Are you looking to buy a car in the next six months?"). Often this is accomplished through surveys, in a manner similar to attitudinal campaign research performed by ComScore, Nielsen Vizu or Dynamic Logic, where marketers create custom audience segments of in-market consumers. This flavor of deterministic data can sometimes be found in data management platforms.
Deterministic data can empower marketers to know with certainty that their ads are in front of the right consumers at the beginning of the purchase funnel. This level of confidence comes at a premium: It is more expensive than probabilistic solutions, but substantially more effective.
Marketers want to put the right ads in front of the right consumers at the right time. Advances in pretargeting make this achievable. The strategically powerful combination of pretargeting and deterministic data will change the way advertising is targeted in 2015 and beyond, resulting in better ROI on the buy side.

A few months ago I had to get some money fast to get a new clothes washer. I did not have any credit cards, and we do a lot of laundry as a family. Going to a laundromat once per week is not something I could tolerate. There would be too much laundry to do and it would cost too much. I chose to put the money toward paying back a short-term loan I got with an online payday advance provider. I just worked some overtime and paid the loan back rather fast. I was very happy they were there for me when we needed the washer.
It was only a few weeks ago that we ended up needing a new clothes dryer. I went back to the same online payday advance provider I used before. My wife and I have three kids. We both work. One child works delivering newspapers and cutting grass. However, we still have difficulty saving any money for things like this that can pop up. We do not have stellar credit to get credit cards or a bank loan. However, we still need to replace important things and make repairs as needed. That is the only time I use these payday advances. I also pay them back as fast as possible.
When we have a problem that is developing slowly, I ask about overtime at work. If the thing lasts until I get an overtime check or two in, then that is great. However, sometimes things break and need repaired or replaced suddenly. That is the time I use a payday loan, but only if we cannot wait for the broken item to be repaired or replaced. I have also used a payday loan to pay for a emergency dental visit for one of our kids and even for a vet bill for our dog.

12 Jun Authorized User: Piggybacking Practice To End
Piggybacking is where one person "lends" their good credit to another by making them an authorized user on one or more of their credit accounts. The good credit of the first person is then reported as an authorized user tradeline on credit reports which in turn helps build or rebuild a credit score. And Fair Issac Corporation (FICO), the big daddy of credit scores, says it's going to kill the practice soon.
Bankrate's Brigitte Yuille reports that FICO will adjust its credit score model to leave out authorized user accounts starting in September. A small industry has sprung up matching folks with good credit scores with those who have lousy FICO scores and, for a fee, brokering the authorized user addition. The credit industry considers this fraud and deception — helping to mask the potential borrower's true credit risk — and Fair Isaac says it wants to protect creditors from it.
The irony is that although the change will hurt some consumers who take advantage of these paid services — or families who simply "lend" their good credit to their kids to establish credit — it will just as often be a boon to other consumers. So while Fico may be acting now to protect lenders, it would have been better if Fico had not included authorized user information in scoring in the first place.
How could it be a bad thing? Suppose you are the authorized user on an account used by your cousin Ralph. You don't even remember why except at some point he gave you a card. Now Ralph is in serious trouble and he's racked up a lot of debt and he might have to file bankruptcy. While you may not be legally liable for Ralph's debts, how do you think your credit score is being affected by your status as an authorized user on his unpaid account?
So what relevance does Ralph's credit has to yours? Probably none. You don't have to step up and pay that debt for Ralph since you are not a co-signer. But, while Fico keeps it's model secret, it certainly sounds like they are treating authorized user status as though you had co-signed the debt. From the perspective of Fico's main customers — the credit industry — that might be a good thing. It might encourage you to step up and voluntarily pay the accounts for Ralph that you are authorized to use. That may be good for the lender and for Ralph but all you're doing is taking over his debt problem, probably.
It is easy to see there may be reasons authorized users should have the account payment record reported for them. Many consumers don't really know the difference — or act like there is a difference — between a co-signed debt and simply having authorized use of someone else's account. They may treat it the same way and therefore the account payment history might reflect the authorized user's credit risk. There are likely other reasons why Fico has included this information in their models but, interestingly, they do not claim on their website "What Is In Your Score" tutorial that authorized user accounts are included in the model. So they will be ending a practice which they were not bragging about in the first place.

text: By Sarah Doran | Sep 21 2010UCD Science Day must begin to fall under the jurisdiction of a recognised society in order for the annual even to continue, in spite of the marked success of Science Day 2010.The University Observer understands that due to a new fundraising policy in UCD, Science Day is applying to create a Science Society. The planning of the Science Day 2011 will begin as soon as the application is expected to be granted.A key date in the UCD calendar for over 20 years, Science Day is a long-standing tradition of the Science Faculty.The event made over €34,000 to Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin from funds raised during Science Day 2010. The event proved an enormous success with UCD Science students cycling, 'Jock Walking' and dancing their way to €34,467.88 for the facility.The proceeds have been donated to the Crumlin Medical Research Foundation's Cancer Fund, an organisation that supports the hospital's medical research and the purchase of new equipment for the facility.Last year's Science Day Committee proudly presented the cheque during the summer break. UCD Students' Union Education Officer James Williamson acted as Chair of the Committee for Science Day 2010, saying that it had been a "tough year" and that it was "great to see that all the hard work had paid off".Williamson attributed the success of Science Day 2010 to hard work and student support. "If the students hadn't gotten involved with us it would have completely flopped," he said. According to Williamson, the majority of events organised in the 09/10 campaign raised "more than we expected, with the exception of the 90s party," which occurred in the run-up to exams.An action packed February ensured that thousands of euro was added to the fund for the Research Foundation. In February alone students cycled to Galway, held a Graffiti Party, trekked through lectures in laboratory coats and underwear on the traditional Jock Walk, as well as attending the annual Science Ball.Williamson believes that the efforts of the Committee to ensure people felt involved in Science Day were central to the campaign's success.

Floors take a beating from everyday use, but some things are extra-hard on various flooring materials. Furniture casters are a source of floor damage we often don't recognise until the damage is done. Casters form pits or grooves in wood, scratch tile or wood, and scar and buckle vinyl flooring. They also wear spots in rugs and carpeting. A little extra care to protect floors from casters will keep them looking good for years to come.
Choose an appropriate protective material for your floors. Some vinyl flooring warranties require that owners never place rubber pads or rubber-backed rugs on them. The two materials create a chemical reaction that can damage or discolour the flooring.
Determine how you need to use the furniture that has casters. If it remains stationary, use floor protector cups manufactured for just this purpose. You also can cut small pieces of carpet and put them under the casters.
Place small pieces of wood under casters as floor protectors, except on tile and vinyl floors. Antique and vintage furniture often have small metal wheels that can quickly cause an indentation in wood flooring. Using wood spreads the pressure over a larger area and reduces the likelihood of a deep impression from caster wheels. Wood protectors can scratch tiles over time, and scratch or damage vinyl.
Position rugs or chair pads under furniture that must move frequently, such as office chairs. Chair pads are usually made of vinyl or fiberboard. The ones with teeth are OK for carpets, but can damage wood floors. Don't use vinyl pads on vinyl floors, because they may chemically react; use carpets or rugs instead. Choose a pad or rug large enough for the furniture to move about freely; otherwise it will run off the edge and defeat your protective efforts.
Glue a small piece of carpet on each side of a similar-sized piece of wood for a quick solution for stationary pieces. Make one for each caster. Allow to dry thoroughly, then place under casters.
Replace casters with furniture legs that have a wider area that makes contact with the floor. This is a method of last resort and is only useful for stationary furnishings. It also can take a bit of skill to accomplish.

Bursaries are also available for students what have been accepted at a university or current tertiary students who are already enrolled at a University studying towards any of the abovestated engineering degrees.
The bursary will cover tuition fees; residential and meal fees; and a monthly allowance.
The successful candidate will be required to enter into a binding contract with the Council after graduation for working for the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality for a period equal to the tenure of the bursary. Where bursars are required to undertake experiential training, as prescribed by the course, with the Municipality, an allowance will be paid to the bursars during this period.
Applicants must submit a detailed CV, accompanied by a certified ID copy. If currently in Grade 12, a copy of the applicant's June Grade 12 results must accompany the NMBM bursary application form (obtainable from Reception, Ground Floor, Lillian Diedericks Building (formerly Brister House) or from Ms Sinazo Rambuza, ninth floor, Lillian Diedericks Building).

Artistically they are the most barren regions in Italy, but the combination of mountain grandeur and a relatively unspoilt coastline, often in close proximity, are a unique attraction. Of the coasts, it's the Tyrrhenian that is the more obviously appealing, with spots like Maratea, Tropea and Scilla well on their way to becoming discovered. The Ionian coast, on the other hand, can be bleak and is visited mainly for its ancients sites, relics from days when the area was an important colonial corner of Magna Grecia. Inland, Italy's boot rises to a high and rugged core, ranging from the Norman strongholds of Basilicata to the forested slopes of the Sila massif around Cosenza and the craggy wilderness of Aspromonte.
The capital of its province, will astonish any visitor. It's one of the oldest towns in the world because of the continual presence of mankind from the Paleolithic age up to present times. The "Civita" is one of the most ancient parts of Matera. It overlooks the two karst valleys, that in past centuries, were totally covered with vegetation and rich of caves. Because of the demographich growth, the inhabitants had to move from Civita to other places and so the two valleys developed into, what, we call today "Sassi".

Sandwiched between an earthquake and a hurricane, in the hottest month of the hottest year on record, Georgians celebrated their own force of nature at the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Georgia Mental Health Consumers Network (GMHCN).
For the 550 people who gathered on St. Simons Island, the two-day August conference was packed with chronicles of recovery from a mental illness and stories of successful transformations. And of a movement that began with thirty dollars and an equal number of volunteers, growing into a vibrant organization that now boasts 4,000 members and a staff of 50.
Two of the recovery movement's earliest activists, Joel Slack and Larry Fricks - among the movement's rock stars -- were featured speakers, along with Georgia's Commissioner of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities, Dr. Frank Shelp. Each described how to his platform could unlock the potential of recovery.
Certified Peer Sepcialists
The expansion of certified peer specialists took center stage in this year's conference. Georgia pioneered training people in recovery in recovery from a mental illness who could work in community settings to promote the recovery of others. In the last 20 years the practice has spread nationwide with training programs to certify peers and enable them to work in public settings.
The expansion of Georgia's certified peer counselors from 650 to 3,000 figures prominently in current efforts to reform the entire service system. Officials expect at least one certified peer specialist will become part of every treatment team, and at least one will be working in every crisis stabilization unit.
The Medical College of Georgia recently hired two certified peer specialists to inform medical professionals about recovery, said Commissioner Shelp. He also recommends expanding the mandate to train certified peers specialists with a background in recovery from addiction.
The sum of these initiatives will firmly anchor treatment and recovery programs in the community, consistent with expectations from the Supreme Court's 1999 Olmstead decision, and reinforced with last year's agreement with the United States Department of Justice. The agreement followed years of investigations into allegations of abuses, a rash of suicides, and newspaper investigations into the state hospital system.
The DOJ agreement requires providing a menu of resources for 9,000 mentally ill people in community settings. While other states are cutting back services and curtailing obligations of Medicaid, Georgia is in a unique position to grow and improve its system.
This year, Rome Hospital, in Northeast Georgia was closed, leaving fewer than 350 people in the inpatient adult psychiatric system.
A consequence of closing Rome Hospital was the opening of two peer support centers to meet the needs people leaving the hospital, said Mark Baker, Director of Advocacy. Redirecting money into the community has been a stumbling point for states that have not used the opportunities to track the resources from inpatient into outpatient services.
Baker added that closing Rome Hospital was a direct result of the Supreme Court's Olmstead decision, a landmark case originally brought by the Atlanta Legal Aid Society on behalf of two women seeking discharge from the Georgia Regional Hospital.
At an open mic meeting, the commissioner fielded questions and complaints about service vacuums, especially in rural areas. The disparity in workload for peer specialists was also of particular concern. Several certified peer specialists said they handle a full case load yet are paid less than colleagues with one-third as many people. He vowed to investigate why upper limits for a maximum caseload had become the practical norm.
He also floated the idea of continuing training and education, a backbone of most professions, to sharpen and upgrade skills.
The year's progress
Central to the annual meeting is a membership vote for the five priorities for change.This dates from the founding conference 20 years ago, and is part of the movement's moral grounding, said Larry Fricks:
"From day one it was the vision that we would bring together the people experiencing what it's like to live in recovery from mental illness and addiction, and we would let them speak and we would put aside our own issues to unite and promote what they wanted as top priorities."
For the second year in a row, Commissioner Shelp described the actions taken by his department to address last year's list. They include:
- •A program to expand housing and a director of housing within the division. Although the numbers are still in the low hundreds, with additional funding from the legislature, expansion will include people who are homeless, or at risk for homelessness. To ease the transition to housing, funds covering one time expenses underwriting a successful move have been allocated.
•In addition to including consumers in the general state reform of transportation, effort is underway to end segregated travel. Rather than have special buses for people with disabilities, the goal should be have the public transportation "go to special places," he said.
•Implementation of a training program for the professional staff in conjunction with the RESPECT, Int., seminar. Respect is the core of recovery.
The commissioner made clear that his work was made easier by the support of newly elected Gov. Nathan Deal, for whom mental health courts and problems of addiction are a priority. Both were mentioned in the new governor's state of the union
speech in January.
But, it is the activists who comprise the network gathered at St.Simons in August to whom he looks. They are "the most important advocates," he said, "the most important examples of success." Judging from their response, it appears that the enthusiasm is mutual.
