Smart Writing Service is based in Hong Kong. It has been around since 2008. It works mostly with American, British, Canadian and Australian students. It's support and office facilities are based in Latvia - presumably for lower operating costs.
This location is not the only way in which this service is different from most - their whole approach to working is slightly different to the norm, and this is something you need to consider when using them.
The website, itself, is clearly set out and very well organised. There is a good FAQ section and the services section is comprehensive and clear. If anything - there is a bit too much information - it can feel a little cramped as you work your way through it all.
Most SmartWritingService customers reviews also comment, quite frequently, on how different this company is - not everybody likes this.
Services are comprehensive and varied. They include relatively rare beasts like Capstone projects and PowerPoint presentations.
Some SmartWritingService reviews thought that the services list was too big - how could they specialise enough to do a good job? We remain neutral here and think that you need a good balance of services and specialties.
The basic SmartWritingService prices are based on your academic level, your specialty, your deadline or timeframe and how many pages of work you are after.
We asked for a "free" quote, (more on that below) for a Bachelor level paper of 10-pages, with a deadline of 14-days and promptly found out that you have to leave your name, address, phone number and email address to find out what the prices are! The company says that they do not disclose personal information to third parties, but you can get quotes from hundreds of other companies without giving them your life too. We did find out that the above paper would cost you $160 before any discounts are applied.
The basic SmartWritingService.com discounts are lifetime type reductions of 5% off with the first $500 spend, 10% with $1,000 and 15% for more than $2,000.
Smart Writing Service promo codes do not seem to be available.
SmartWritingService coupon code offers do not seem to be present as well.
Smart Writing Service is legit; it has been around for eight years online. The service encrypts information and guarantees probity.
Payments are made by credit cards or PayPal, and the payment system is totally secure and encrypted. Smart Writing Service do not disseminate or sell any cardholder or personal information to third parties.
Ordering is easy with the service through a drop down menu where a customer inputs information of the writing assignment and other information necessary.
Any private data, or the order written for the customer, also, never sold or disseminated to third parties. Access to accounts is via a password and username system. The site is fully encrypted, and copy and papers are destroyed once accepted by the student to eliminate plagiarism and disclosure issues.
Smart Writing Service have over 500 writers on their books, and they guarantee that these writers create original, plagiarism free papers, which will need minimal revision. The company claims that these writers are Masters and Ph.D. degree holders and that they are from all types of academic institutes and backgrounds. This enables them to know their way around the various formats demanded by the different colleges and what is needed for each. In practice, we feel that this may spread their alleged expertise a little too thinly.
Smart Writing Service have a unique delivery system which is available for an extra fee; this is known as "Progressive delivery" and the idea is that the paper is sent out, by the writer, in blocks or chunks. This enables the student to hand it in or amend it or just see what the progress is without having the whole thing landing on them at once. You do, of course, have to pay for the whole thing upfront regardless of how you choose to have it delivered.
Most SmartWritingService.com review sites agree that there is not sufficient quantity of information provided onsite to assess the standard of writing.
There is a "free" plagiarism checker - this allows the checking of up to 5 papers a month if not a client, and up to 100 if you are.
The company claims that another "free" service is its "quotes" on prices - seriously? Why would anyone pay for this anyway?
Smart Writing Service testimonials are shown on the site and are consistently complimentary - these are internal - so treat them with a degree of caution.
Smart Writing Service No one can accuse this company of being modest in its claims. Everything on the site has an assurance or a "confirmation" - for example - in the testimonials section they invite you to send in your own so that they can "prove" that they are real - we remain unconvinced.
SmartWritingService.com rating scores on external sites think that this company does not live up to its slick, all-knowing image and suggest looking around before deciding which company to entrust your work to.
"They are late with paper. I wanted a good reliable writing company as my partner, but found this! Yes, people with whom I talked were very polite, but the research paper I ordered was written awfully! There were dozens of various mistakes!"
"This company disappointed me. The writer failed to meet the deadline and the paper itself was written really badly. I believe the writer wasn't even a native speaker, as there were too many spelling and grammar mistakes. I contacted the support team in order to ask for revision, which is said to be free. But they refused to make a free revision and told me I had to pay. It's a pity that I've ordered from them."
"My Literature essay, which was performed by one of their writers, brought me "C". It's a pity, because I expected to get a high grade having ordered from a professional writing service. "

Explain the main contrast in the poem "A Contemplation Upon Flowers."
1 Answer | Add Yours
In the poem "A Contemplation Upon Flowers," the main contrast is the way flowers view death versus the way the poet views death.
The flowers have no fear of death. In fact, they are ever present in death. They decorate the bier at death looking "fresh and spruce."
The poet asks the flowers to teach him to view death differently. The poet fears death but in contrast the flowers have no fear of death.
The flowers are fragrant even in death. The poet desires to have sweet breath in death much like the flowers. The poet desires to breathe sweet fragrances as he dies.
The flowers seem to understand their purpose more so than the poet. The flowers bloom with no vanity. Then they die and go back to the earth from which they are born. There is no fighting death. The flowers obey and wither in dignity.
The poet sees the contrast in the way he accepts death versus the way the flowers so "gallantly" die and go back to the earth.

My 11 year old daughter tore her ACL in a soccer tournament on Memorial Day. I've been researching pediatric sports medicine doctors and ACL repair techniques like crazy. As any parent does these days, I hit the internet hard and fast to learn all I could about ACL surgery, pediatric sports medicine doctors and orthopedic specialists.
What did we do before all this information was at our finger tips like this?
Since the last post, we've had a few things happen:
- Dr. Polousky ordered an xray of Jaeda's left hand to determine her bone age. It came back that her bone age is 13 vs. physical age of 11.5. This means her bone development is the same as the average 13 year old girl THIS IS IMPORTANT.
- Dr. Polousky also got a few xrays of her spine (she has a 12 deg lumbar curvature we're tracking) and pre-op pics of her legs to see if they are even and straight pre-surgery for comparison to post surgery.
- I mailed a disc of Jaeda's MRI and initial xray to Boston for Dr. Kocher to review. Turns out they want all the reports and office visit notes too, not just images, so I sent a second disc with her latest images and all the reports a couple of weeks ago. Getting those from Children's Hospital Denver was a royal pain in the ass (different post).
So here are the big questions that
we I was asking both doctors to answer:
- Are Jaeda's growth plates closed enough to have the modified adult ACL repair (which drills tunnels through the growth plates)?
- Are her growth plates open enough that she should have the physeal sparing surgery perfected by Dr. Kocher?
- Why wouldn't we just do the physeal sparing ACL repair regardless of this borderline growth plate issue?
- When are you available to do the surgery?
A doctor from Boston called me after he reviewed the first images I sent and said:
- He recommended the physeal sparing ACL repair because the knee images looked like her growth plates were wide open.
- Dr. Kocher was booked at least 2 months out and there wasn't any way he'd get her in before school started.
- We'd need to be in Boston for a week and most of that would be in a hotel not the hospital.
I asked the doctor (resident?) if it made a difference on his recommendation that her bone age was 13. He said "Yes, that does make a difference."
He hadn't received that report yet and hadn't had it to look at prior to calling me. He said that Dr. Kocher recommends the modified adult ACL repair for girls over the age of 12 (for boys it's 14), so that if her bone age said 13, it would make a difference. He wanted to see that report and discuss it with Kocher and would call me back.
My next question:
Is there a better outcome with the modified adult than the physeal sparing?
No, it seems to be about the same.
Why wouldn't we go with physeal sparing regardless then?
The modified adult is more consistent with the path of the natural ACL. They haven't seen any difference in "failure" rate or function between it and the physeal sparing technique, but it seems like it should be better because it's closer to natural. The physeal sparing puts grooves in the top of the bone to keep the tendon in place so theoretically the tendon could slip out of the groove vs. the tunnels where that isn't possible. Also the physeal sparing uses the IT band for the replacement tendon and the modified adult uses the hamstring. They need their IT band.
Doesn't she need her hamstring too?
There are 4 hamstrings and the hamstring grows back kinda. They aren't quite sure what the substance is that forms to replace the hamstring, but it functions the same and the strength difference between the leg with the missing hamstring and the other leg is negligible ~ 2 to 3% if any.
Yesterday Jaeda and I met with Dr. Polousky to see what he thought after seeing the additional xrays.
Stay tuned for our decision…

Joint venture to design Ohio stormwater storage tunnel
The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) selected MWH in joint venture with Hatch Mott MacDonald (HMM) as design consultant for the Dugway Storage Tunnel project. Combined with MWH's work on Easterly Tunnel Dewatering Pump Station and HMM's involvement with the Euclid Creek Storage Tunnel, the project represents a key component of the organization's 25-year plan to protect Lake Erie and its tributary rivers and streams from combined sewer overflows.
As the result of a successfully negotiated consent decree with the U.S. and Ohio Environmental Protection Agencies, NEORSD will implement the long-term plan to include wet weather treatment plant upgrades, collection system improvements, green infrastructure, and deep storage tunnels. NEORSD selected MWH to provide facility design and engineering for the Dugway Storage Tunnel as well as design support during construction for this critical project.
Buried as deep as 280 feet below ground, the 24-foot-diameter Dugway Storage Tunnel will connect to the MWH-designed Easterly Tunnel Dewatering Pump Station and the HMM-designed Euclid Creek Storage Tunnel, which are both currently under construction. That network will capture, store, and treat sewer overflows from storm events, preventing untreated wastewater from spilling into the surrounding watershed.
Construction of the Dugway Storage Tunnel improvements is anticipated to take four years following the initial 18-month design phase.
Information provided by MWH
Submit news and photos of planned, ongoing, or recently completed projects to Bob Drake at firstname.lastname@example.com. In April, "Project Notes" will highlight mining/energy projects and geotechnology; in June, stormwater and site planning are the focus.

I finished this beekeeping year with five hives going into winter. Hopefully they will make it through and be ready for spring to get back to work. This year was my best year yet for honey and it was mostly down to one very vigorous hive and its queen.
This is my first honey of 2014. it was very crystallised so I had to separate the wax by heating it a little . It has the consistency of runny toffee but with a wildflower kick in the aftertaste. Really quite a robust flavour unlike anything I've ever tasted from a shop.I only took a few frames as I'm hoping the bees will give me some more honey later this season with two good hives but lighter and more easily extracted honey later in the season.
At the moment my bees are very active. I began the season with two strong hives and am currently running with seven hives . I initially had to make three splits when queen cells appeared in the strongest hive .Within days this strong hive split again anyway and I had to retrieve this particular split from my neighbour's garden . I got them in a tree and collected them in a cardboard box, but in my haste forgot my boots and picked up a few stings on my ankles.That was enough excitement for one week….
Just yesterday the bees started spiralling and spinning around the hive again and I had to suit up and chase and catch another split.It's a busy time and I had to ready new brood boxes for the e new nuclei.It was time to get more frames built …it's going to be an interesting summer. I'll be busy inspecting and maintaining seven hives.
This is what happened when I was collecting a swarm of honeybees from above my head in a tree. Most of the bees dropped into my waiting box when I shook the branch , but the queen fell behind my head .That was where the remaining bees went to find her , so they clustered behind my neck leaving me helpless to reach them or shake them off. Had it not been for the assistance of my wife , I'm not sure how I could have removed them.
Last winter I lost my entire first honeybee colony. Truthfully, they didn't grow as quickly as I had originally hoped, but they survived wasp attacks akin to the Battle of Britain and came into the autumn in seemingly good health. I can only imagine that either the extreme dampness in November or the fact that there were not enough of them to retain sufficent heat to sustain themselves caused their demise. I fed them and they were given the various required treatments but maybe there wasn't enough forage or possibly the farmers sprayed the fields with something harmful to wildlife.
There are a lot of possible factors and bees have been dying worldwide on a large scale for some years now.In any case , every one of them died so I'm starting again. Last year I ordered another queen and nucleus. They should arrive in a day or two. Proposed delivery is the first Saturday morning in June. Fragile Planet have already been in touch with delivery details so keep those fingers crossed. Here we go again…
You couldn't make it up : Fragile Planet called yesterday to tell me my nucleus of bees were finally ready and would be with me within twentyfour hours. Little did I realise that it would be my old mate Rafferty [ the original Postman Pat!] who would drive up in his big red van and tentatively hand over the little buzzin' box. The little critters are currently sitting on top of the hive waiting for their great installation tomorrow. It's a beautiful day here so hopefully more will follow, as will photographic evidence when I get it organised. Nicole took these first day snaps while I was otherwise occupied! Keep watching the skies!!
Sometime in the first few weeks the queen left or died. I got onto Fragile Planet right away and they posted out a new queen right away. Duly installed in her little queen cage, she was introduced and released to the brood body, I checked a few days later to see if the bees had accepted her and luckily all was well. I closed up for a week and on my birthday I checked again. We managed to get some photos of her this time. She has a white spot for 2011 so she's easy enough to find now.

He was still bleeding. I yelled, "Someone's killed Father." I breathed in kerosene air, licked the thickness from my teeth. The clock on the mantel ticked ticked. I looked at Father, the way hands clutched to thighs, the way the little gold ring on his pinky finger sat like a sun. I gave him that ring for his birthday when I no longer wanted it. "Daddy," I had said. "I'm giving this to you because I love you." He had smiled and kissed my forehead.
A long time ago now.'
On 4 August 1892 Andrew and Abby Borden were murdered in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts. During the inquest into the deaths, Lizzie Borden was arrested and charged with the murder of her father and her stepmother.
Through the eyes of Lizzie's sister Emma, the housemaid Bridget, the enigmatic stranger Benjamin and the beguiling Lizzie herself, we return to what happened that day in Fall River.
Lizzie Borden took an axe. Or did she?

Inveneo is happy to welcome our newest staff member, Kelly Doley, who recently joined the team as the Project Manager. Kelly brings a wealth of knowledge to the Inveneo environment.
Ebola has become an increasingly serious health crisis around the world, and humanitarian aid organizations in West Africa are in critical need of ICTs (Information and Communications Technologies) to effectively support health care workers. In response, Inveneo is assembling a team that is preparing to travel to Accra, Ghana.
The past few years have seen dramatic advances in the use of hand-held devices (phones and tablets) for program monitoring and for survey data collection. Progress has been slower with respect to the application of ICT-enabled devices for program evaluation, but this is clearly the next frontier.
Across the continent, Africans are receiving health care by frontline health workers in every situation imaginable, from modern hospitals to primary care facilities and health posts in rural villages. In most of these situations, there will probably be a mobile phone. There may even be more than that.

Storage research - Understanding storage resources
Finding suitable sites for the storage of CO2 close to emissions sources is often the biggest uncertainty in the CCS chain. Earlier work by CO2CRC identified a number of large, high quality storage reservoirs in Australia. Some of this storage capacity is found in saline formations located near major sources. CO2CRC research aims to further understand and model the sedimentary architecture, geomechanical behaviour and likely fluid flow at potential sites. In addition, CO2CRC is developing suitable technologies and strategies for managing CO2 injection and storage together with monitoring and verification technologies to show that CO2 storage is safe. This research and demonstration will enable governments to effectively plan mitigation infrastructure strategy and regulatory regimes.
Development and operation of geological storage research facilities, Otway site
CO2CRC will use its world-class facilities and operations at the CO2CRC Otway Project in leading edge CO2 storage research. It will operate a series of targeted, small scale experiments at the Otway site to test and demonstrate various trapping mechanisms for CO2 stored underground. Other techniques to be demonstrated are effective modelling and monitoring of stored CO2.
Otway Stage I integration
Injection stopped for Stage 1 in September 2009, but the long timescales of reservoir processes, and the strong seasonal influence on environmental monitoring, mean that at least another year is required to gather and analyse the monitoring data. CO2CRC researchers are compiling other data gathered during Otway Stage 1 with the aim of publishing the results in an integrated form.
CO2 storage in saline formations - Otway Basin
This research aims to characterise the geological, geochemical and hydraulic architecture, formation water salinity, geomechanical and geothermal conditions of saline formations with CO2 storage potential within the Otway Basin, supporting further geological characterisation for the CO2CRC Otway Project injection experiments. Storage systems are being modelled to evaluate potential impacts on existing aquifer systems and energy resources within the basin.
Understanding CO2 storage in saline formations
The near and far-field effects of CO2 storage in saline formations need to be better understood as a basis for evaluating CO2 storage capacity, injectivity and containment, evaluating the impact on other resources and as a basis for effective management of large scale CO2 storage in saline formations.
Reactive reservoir rocks and their impact on CO2 storage in terms of injectivity and containment
This project investigates the chemical interaction between the CO2 storage rock, CO2, its co-contaminants, formation fluids, and the deep microbial activity. Natural CO2 accumulations provide valuable information as analogues for CO2 storage, in particular on the mineral reactions in the storage host rock. Short-term mineral reactions can occur during CO2 injection in a reservoir with reactive minerals such as clay or of volcanic origin that can impact injectivity. Flue gas streams from coal-fired power plants contain varying amounts of NOx, SOx, and O2 that could potentially be sequestered instead of scrubbed from the flue gas stream at great cost. Microbial activity can generate biofilms that can potentially be deployed for CO2 leak prevention.
Seal geomechanics and potential for CO2 leakage
This project aims to assess the geological circumstances in which faults (and fractures) in mudstone seal rocks may impact on the flow of CO2 through these rocks and other geomechanical processes that might result in CO2 moving out of containment.
Predictive modelling of storage reservoirs
The CO2CRC Otway Project is unique in that it is currently the only site anywhere in the world where there is scope for injecting tens of thousands of tonnes of CO2 under geologically well-constrained research conditions. This project aims to use the existing Otway facilities to improve predictive modelling for a range of reservoir types and a variety of trapping mechanisms, and to extend the Otway learnings to potential storage sites.
Improved monitoring and verification (M&V)
This project will use the Otway site (and potentially other research opportunities) to develop more reliable and cost-effective monitoring systems for future demonstration and commercial projects. The objective is to develop and maintain an inventory of M&V techniques, with detailed information on the strengths, weaknesses and applicability of each technique, and on the interpretation and quantification of the measurements that can be made.

Hey Everyone! So I told you I would give you a list of watercolor art supplies I use when practicing watercolor script. You really only need a few items and then practice, practice, practice!!
1. First let's talk brushes. I like to use a smaller round brush like the one here . For this brand I suggest a #6. A smaller size gives you more control of the brush and makes your lines cleaner. You have less brush to complete your strokes, so the length of the brush doesn't get in the way. Of course a larger brush works when you have a rather large piece of paper.
2. I like to use practice paper to start because when you first start you are just learning and you go through a lot of paper. You can even just practice on computer paper and as you get better switch to watercolor paper found here . This paper is more cost effective but as you get better you can switch to even better paper found here .
3. I really like using Soho paints. They are so dense in color, a little goes a long way. You should start with a classic black and then once you get better you can start mixing colors.
4. I love using a disposable palette, such as this one . It is so easy to travel with and it gives me enough space to mix colors if I need to.
All these items can be found at Jerry's Artarama.
I hope this gives you a good start when practicing watercolor lettering/script. It takes practice but if you have good watercolor art supplies, it makes a world of difference!

Hey Everyone! As you can tell I have been really getting into making videos. Being an artist, I am very visual, so I like to show my process every now and then! I have been practicing my watercolor script, hoping to eventually teach a workshop centered around it. I thought it would be fun to match my practice to a song. Since I am obsessed with Alessia Cara's new EP "I'm Yours," I had to use it! Hope you enjoy! Stay tuned next week for supplies I use to practice watercolor script!

Happy Tuesday! I am not ashamed to say I am a fan girl of anything Lauren Conrad. I started following her journey all the way back to Laguna Beach and now she just previewed her first runway collection at NYFW! How amazing is that?! The collection is called LC Runway. You can shop the whole collection at Kohl's! I love when designers put out affordable lines because not all of us can drop $400 on a new dress. Know what I'm saying?
Anyways, I was inspired by the line to do some fashion illustrations of her new collection. The colors are so soft and light so I chose to paint on a black canvas. Really, in this case, I painted on black sketch paper.
I know people enjoy seeing the process so I did a time lapse video as well! Hope you enjoy it and don't forget to check out her awesome collection!

Happy Tuesday! I thought this week I would give you a clip of a floral watercolor painting in action, as I am getting ready for all my watercolor flower workshops this fall! If you are interested, you can click here for more info and tickets.
Workshops filled a void for me. I love teaching but I want to be able to do my business as well, so I am grateful I am able to combine the two. Are there a few things you love to do and have you thought about combining them? I would seriously think about this question because it could lead you to your next stepping stone. Creative ideas are within us we just have to reach for them!
Side Note: I love choosing the music for my videos. This one is from Alessia Cara "Seventeen". I just love her new EP!

Happy Tuesday Everyone! Hope everyone had a creative weekend. This weekend I had some down time to work on some projects that I have on my long to do list. For some odd reason, I usually get my best ideas at night. I find I always get over excited right before I have to go to bed, so I am on Pinterest past midnight. I do not recommend this but sometimes my brain does not shut off! Anyone else have this problem?
Today I want to give you a small preview of what I have been working on! If you follow me, you know I love painting fashion illustrations. Some of the detail designers put into each of their garments is absolutely amazing. I sometimes like to picture myself in these high fashions and painting them makes each picture a little more clear.
I remember my Aunt buying a Barbie software for fashion design and I think that is when I gained a real interest in creating clothes: whether it was sketching or actual making. I always have had a dream of breaking into the fashion industry: more of the branding side with my paintings. I may get there but as of right now I can appreciate exploring and creating my favorite fashions! I say never give up on your dreams and always work toward them. Enjoy!
Keep Creating,

He asks offensive linemen what they think, sometimes making adjustments based on their advice. He watches film of contemporaries and old-timers, sometimes calling them for tips. He's pretty much willing to give anything a shot. After leading the NFL with 20 sacks last season, Ware is convinced he needs to mix things up just to stay ahead of the competition.
"Every year, the offenses are gunning for you and they're changing, so you've got to be able to change, too, to stay on top," Ware said.
This must be a coach's dream, right? Here's a superstar player in his prime trying to put more things in his "toolbox," as Ware calls it.
Well, coach Wade Phillips wishes Ware would cut it out. His point: Don't mess with a good thing.
"I've told DeMarcus if he does too much (tinkering) he hurts himself," Phillips said. "The moves he has now, that we've identified, we tell him, 'These are the ones we want you to use because these are the ones that are best for you."'
Phillips formed his less-is-more philosophy over 32 years in the NFL, many spent as a defensive coach working with Hall of Fame pass rushers like Reggie White, Bruce Smith and Elvin Bethea.
"They didn't have many moves," Phillips said. "They had a great move that nobody could stop or, if they could stop it, they had a counter off it."
Phillips compares an effective pass rusher's repertoire to that of a baseball pitcher. A guy with a blazing fastball doesn't need many more pitches, probably just a change-up, which comes in looking the same but slower, and a breaking ball, which moves a lot.
Ware's arsenal is pretty similar. His best moves are a speed rush (the fastball), a start-and-stop move that Phillips calls the "stutter" and Ware calls his "shake and bake" (the change-up) and a crossover similar to what basketball players use (the breaking ball).
Ware's speed is unique for someone 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds. He gets into backfields so fast that he's been wrongly flagged for offsides three times in the last two years, according to Phillips.
Because blockers know they have move quickly to get in his way, Ware uses that against them with the stutter. When he slows down, they plant their feet - then, he takes off around them.
"Franco Harris, he had that," said Phillips, who saw Harris in his prime at least twice a year while coaching the division-rival Houston Oilers in the 1970s. "DeMarcus has that kind of explosion that not many have."
As he's refined his moves, he's upped his sack totals. Ware has gone from eight as a rookie to 11 1/2, then to 14 and another jump to 20. His 53 1/2 sacks since 2005 are the most by anyone in the NFL.
His 20-sack season puts him in exclusive company, too. Only six others have had that many since sacks became an official stat in 1982. White is the only one to follow it with at least 14 sacks the next year; he had 18 in 1988.
That challenge motivates Ware. It's part of the reason he added five pounds of muscle over the offseason and why he's constantly searching for more moves.
"I've always said, how consistent can you be?" Ware said. "I always think about Michael Jordan. Every game, he's the guy. You can slow him down, but you can't stop him. That's what I'm trying to do."
Which brings us back to the friendly debate with Phillips: To experiment or not to experiment. Phillips isn't surprised Ware wants to branch out. He's heard it from the other great pass rushers.
"They get bored with beating everybody," Phillips said. "But what's wrong with throwing the fastball by them if they can't hit that?"
Ware has the ultimate comeback: The stutter comes from his practice-field laboratory.
He saw New York's Osi Umenyiora and Philadelphia's Trent Cole use it, so he tried it one day against Dallas left tackle Flozell Adams.
"Ever since, I've been incorporating that in everything I do," Ware said.
Considering how well that worked out, it's no wonder Ware is still sneaking things in during practice and letting Phillips figure it out later.
"I'll just let him see it on film," Ware said, laughing. "Then he'll say, 'I don't like that move, I don't think it's going to work, DeMarcus.' So if I do a move, I've got to make sure it's a sack."
Ware, coach differ over new moves

Top 10 Reasons Why Tim Burton Made Better Batman Movies Than Christopher NolanI like Tim Burton's Batman better than Christopher Nolan's. I do like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight but I don't like The Dark Knight Rises. Here's why.
The Top Ten
None of the batman movies or any other superheroes movies are close to the dark knight - zxm
I hope you realise that Tim Burton only directed Batman and Batman Returns. Batman Forever and Batman and Robin were directed by Joel Schumacher. - Brobusky
This list is so dumb. Tim Burton movies suck and looks cheesy as hell.
The Dark Knight is better than both of Burton's films. However, Burton's two films are better than Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises in my opinion. - BeatlesFan1964
Nah, chris bolan's movies had better plots, better stories, better everything. Though I'll admit,
Michael Keaton had a better batman voice, and there was a better bat mobile. - Therandom
Sorry, but Tommy Lee Jones Two-Face was just stupid and looked like he had makeup on (which he did) - Brobusky
Two face was A. Joel Schummancer, and b. Terrible looking. - Therandom
But the villains weren't as good. - Therandom
Sometimes more isn't always better...
The Joker, Two-Face, Bane, Ra's Al Ghūl, Scarecrow, Victor Zsasz, The League of Shadows, Carmine Falcone, Sal Maroni, Joe Chill, Talia Al Ghūl... need I say more? - Brobusky
Oh yeah, that toy commercial they call 'Batman and Robin' was WAY more interesting than one of the greatest comic book movies of all time. (The Dark Knight) - Brobusky
No. Just no - Therandom
As long as doesn't have bat-nipples then I can enjoy the costume designs
Two words: Bat-Nipples - Brobusky
I don't think so. - zxm
I enjoy the first four Batman movies than the Dark Knight trilogy. - Mettsbackup
The city is way more cooler looking than it was now. - MettsbackupV 1 Comment
Not at all. - Therandom
I liked the tumbler version better.
The Schumacher Batmobile looks like a giant penis for crying out loud! - Brobusky
This is true, nolan's wasn't even called the batmobile - Therandom
The Contenders
Which is the reason why I hate Burton movies

WordPress has just released the 1.1 version of their iPhone Blogging application. This was mostly a bug and stability fix so their are no noticable feature updates or changes. They did reference the coming 1.2 version and provided a link to it from their announcement iphone.wordpress.net.
The 1.2 version virtually looks like my Don't Like and Wish List combined together. It is supposed to include the ability to add links to posts, better image insertion, and password protection. This app already has gotten me blogging more but the addition of these items would make my life much easier.
Thanks WordPress team for awesome blogging software and an awesome software app!

'The Times will publish Christopher's 300th "A Good Walk" on 22nd August [2015]!'
'These were powerful places to stand and surmise, with sunlight slanting across the graves and blackbirds fluttering in the cemetery hedges. Walking back north up the hidden cleft of Sherbrook Valley, with the stream chuckling quietly under its bridges and slopes of birch and pine closing off the valley from the outside world, the mud, blood and slaughter that waited for the young trainees of Brocton Camps seemed utterly inconceivable.'
The First World War Camps of Cannock Chase | The Cannock Chase War Trail [Walking Britain]
'Cemlyn is one of North Wales Wildlife Trust's star reserves and regarded by the Anglesey County Council as the "jewel in the crown" of its Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.'
Cemlyn Shingle Ridge Walk [National Trust]
'If the Corporation of the City of London hadn't bought the "Coulsdon Commons'"– Riddlesdown and its neighbouring "wastes" of Kenley Common, Coulsdon Common and Farthing Downs – for £7,000 in 1883 (nearly £1 million today), there's little doubt what would have happened. All four high green open spaces would have been gobbled up in London's inexorable southward expansion. As it was, the City of London dedicated the 350 acres of Coulsdon Commons, "fine, open, breezy downs, already largely used for purposes of recreation by the public, and now for all time secured for those purposes".'
'It's a rare pleasure to find a place as well set up for four-seasons walking as East Dean ...'
'Back in 1985, a head-over-heels fan of Cider with Rosie, I spent a day exploring Slad with Laurie Lee as my guide. I've never forgotten the deep and amused affection that the author showed for the little South Gloucestershire village where he grew up ...'
Celebrating the Laurie Lee Centenary [Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust]
'Under a milky grey sky we climbed the stony road through Altbritain Forest, its spruce and firs footed in the dense blanket bog that has grown to enwrap these hills over the past two thousand years. Waves of lime green sphagnum flowed over the dark peat under the trees, to be replaced by tuffets of green and orange deer grass as we left the cold shadow of the conifers and climbed the long flank of Mullaghaneany ...'
'Where can Games-goers in need of a few hours' escape find a decent walk in varied surroundings that's only a hop, skip and jump away from Olympic Park? Opting for the bustle of markets and the open atmosphere of London's waterways, we set off in search of breakfast at a market stall, a chat with the animals in the city farm and some quality idling by canal and river.'
'Stagenhoe is a Grade II listed stately home and surrounding gardens located in the village of St Paul's Walden in Hertfordshire. It is approximately 5 miles (8 km) south of Hitchin. It is one of two large manors with fine grounds in the village, the other being the historic home of the Bowes-Lyon family St Paul's Walden Bury.'
'A still afternoon over the Brecon Beacons. The Grwyne Fawr river ran dark and noisy after rain under the single arch of Llangenny bridge, the landlady of the Dragon's Head Inn worked on her flowerbeds in the sunshine, and all seemed right with the little world folded into its valley in the eastern skirts of the mountains. It was a stiff old pull up the hill out of Llangenny ...'

Some people will give up right away. Others may wonder where they'll end up. Of course you get scared. Even if you are brave and determined enough to get on, you will still find yourself praying that everything goes well. My first week using the train in Cape Town, there are many emotions running through my head. Despite being an experienced commuter back home in Rome, I feel completely out of my depth facing Metrorail in South Africa.
Welcome to Cape Town. The most beautiful city in the world. As with every city, it has a side that is well known to the locals and yet unfamiliar to tourists. After chatting to Capetonians, they revealed where they love to hang out. Here are some of the top choices.
Every place on this planet tells a story. Even the smallest, tucked away places on earth have a history to share. Located in northeast Germany, where people from all over the world come together, there is a place that has an undeniably remarkable written history: Berlin. Six letters illuminating the epitome of sophistication, beauty and the enigmatic. It is a vibrant and gritty playground like no other.
Despite being the capital city of Australia, Canberra doesn't get the attention it deserves. Nestled between Sydney and Melbourne the town has a lot to offer for local and foreign tourists.
Venice. An island surrounded by the Venetian Lagoon. Commonly the number one choice for newlyweds embarking on their honeymoon, this city receives more than 20 million tourists every year and is a World Heritage Site.
A well-known journalist and writer, Guido Piovene claimed: 'La Calabria sembra essere stata creata da un Dio capriccioso che dopo avere creato diversi mondi, si è divertito a mescolarli insieme.' Literally translated, this means: 'Calabria seems to have been created by a capricious God who, after creating different worlds, was amused to mix them together.' These words ring true if you are lucky enough to travel through the heart of Calabria. Here you'll see an inspiring blend of magical with mystical, especially in some of the less frequently travelled areas of the province.
Contrast is the best word to describe the Rhine-Neckar region: industrial areas are only a short drive away from one of the largest wine regions in Germany; big cities are located next to small quaint towns; international students and people from all around the world form the cultural mix of this region.
France is a beautiful country to visit – it's full of fascinating history, elegant architecture and breathtaking landscapes. However, generally tourists stay in the capital city, Paris, or head to a beach on the Cote d'Azur. But France is much more than that. So let me show you how you're missing out on the most valued cultural gems in France – the castles in the Loire Valley.
Located in the north-west of South America, Colombia is a place where people will greet you with a cup of coffee or with a typical 'buenas' (good day).
It's no secret, Paris is one of the most beautiful capitals in the world and for several years, it was the most visited European city. The metropolis has impressed millions with its breath-taking monuments, haute couture stores, and refined cuisine.

Data analysis
Gene Mapping
This data course is a primer to statistical genetics and covers an approach called linkage disequilibrium mapping, which analyzes non-familial data and has been successfully used to identify genetic variants associated with common and complex genetic traits.
We hope many students find this introductory course interesting and are motivated to study further topics in statistical genetics to understand biological variation from statistical standpoints.
Previous knowledge of molecular genetics and basic statistical concepts, such as statistical tests and estimation, is required. Basic knowledge on genetic variations is offered at the start of the course.

The graph of f' (not f) is given below. http://webwork.marianopolis.com:81/wwtmp/Haldane_course/gif/1131348-125-setNYA-Assignment-9prob3image1.png At which of the marked values of x is A.f(x)...
The graph of f' (not f) is given below.
At which of the marked values of x is
A.f(x) greatest? x=
B.f(x) least? x= ?
C.f'(x) greatest? x= ?
D.f'(x) least? x= ?
E.f''(x) greatest? x=?
F.f''(x) least? x= ?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Lets begin by examiming the graph of `f'(x)` . `f'(x)>0` for every x that is marked. This indicates that `f(x)` is increasing on the entire interval.
Thus `f(x)` is greatest at `x_6` and least at `x_1` .
We can read off the graph that `f'(x)` is greatest at `x_3` and least at `x_5` .
Finally, `f'(x)` has a local minimum at `x_1` , so `f''(x_1)=0` . Also `f'(x)` has a local maximum at `x_3` , and another local minimum at `x_5` indicating that `f''(x_3)=f''(x_5)=0` .
`f'(x)` is increasing at `x_2` and `x_6` and decreasing at `x_4` . Since `f'(x)` is decreasing at `x_4,f''(x_4)<0` and is the least value for `f''(x)` .
Of the two points where `f'(x)` is increasing, it appears to be increasing faster at `x_6` so `f''(x)` is greatest at `x_6`
f(x) greatest at `x_6` , least at `x_1`
`f'(x)` greatest at `x_3` , least at `x_5`
`f''(x)` greatest at `x_6` , least at `x_4`

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- No matter what might happen Saturday in the NFC West, I won't be here to blog about it.
All four franchises could relocate to another country and word might not reach those casting votes in annual Pro Football Hall of Fame balloting.
The process begins at 9 a.m. ET and concludes with announcement of results at 5 p.m. ET.
None of us will know results until the announcement is made. I'll be presenting the case for Cortez Kennedy and will share thoughts after results are known.

Cleaning your clothes with a personal steamer can save you hundreds of dollars per year in dry-cleaning costs. Steamers are efficient, gentle and safe on most garments. A steam cleaner works up to five times faster than an iron, and is excellent for removing wrinkles. It will not stain or scorch clothing. Steamers also can be used on curtains, tablecloths, linens and upholstered furniture.
Things You'll Need
- Steam cleaner
- Rust-proof hangers
Add water to the steam cleaner, turn it on and allow it to heat up.
Hang clothes on clean, rust-proof hangers. Hang pants by their cuffs with clothes pins.
Grasp the steamer head, and press the "steam" or "on" button until it emits a steady amount of steam.
Touch the steamer head lightly onto wrinkled clothes, and use upright, vertical motions to apply steam until wrinkles disappear.
Allow steam-cleaned clothes to air dry.
Tips & Warnings
- Try steaming difficult wrinkles from the underside of the garment.
- Avoid touching the steam cleaner head on silk or velvet. Do not add dye, perfumes or salt to the steam cleaner water. Do not overfill the steam cleaner, and ensure it does not run dry. Do not pour cold water into a running steamer.

This is by far my prettiest coverlet yet. It looks so nice in my bedroom. I am super pleased too, with the way it washes up.Read More
The twin size barely fits over a twin-size bed.Read More
This bedding looks so pretty and it makes me smile when I walk into the too.. Washes very well and holds shape. Highly recommend.Read More
Love the color, the only problem was that it did shrink a bit when washed in cold delicate.Read More
I bought this for my parent's beach house. It's perfect there. The king size is a little awkward in length, but overall it looks nice and it's lightweight enough to be comfortable, but not hot, on a summer night.Read More
The coverlet is a little bit grayer then it appears in the picture, however, the quality is excellent. I have a California king mattress and I would have liked it if the coverlet came in that size. Instead of just offering king, the c/k would be sufficient for both size mattresses especially with the drop of 16 inches. The coverlet is soft, well made and certainly not something you will find in any store. I did search different sights for the product and found Overstock to have the best price. With reference to the shams, instead of both being open on the same side, I would suggest that two open on opposite sides to give a better appearance on the bed.Read More
Bought the coverlet and its very nice, but would have liked to shams to be included with the coverlet,Read More
Loved the coverlet and pillow case. What everyone has said about the color is true; it is not blue. However, the quality is good. I got the twin size and the length and width were both adequate. Very much so. Was surprised to read on the package that though product could be washed, dry cleaning is recommended. I don't plan to dry clean and am a little afraid to wash it. Hoping for a good outcome.Read More
I bought this to go in my beach house rental. Love the quality and the look. Wish it were a bit longer on the sides as I am going to have to use a dust ruffle and it doesn't have one to match so you will have to use either white or cream I would think. Still like this thoughRead More
This coverlet and its matching shams (purchased separately) are of a very high quality, and have a lovely color and design. I purchased two coverlets and 5 shams to use in two rooms with beach/water themes. At first I thought they were pretty expensive (for Overstock), but when I saw the quality of the workmanship and design, I was sold.Read More
I ordered this item in the blue color. Took it out of the package and it is basically colorless...more of a gray than anything.....Did not suit my needs at all so, I am returning. The return process is a major hassle....Read More
flimsy material-not attractive I was disappointed and returned itRead More
Nothing great, but can't say anything bad, I just don't love this blanket. It looks exactly like photo. Not sure if its the fabric or shade of color or the print but something about this isnt something I really like. Decided to keep it for a spare.Read More
Even nicer in person. Very high quality, soft and understated. I ordered the full/queen for my queen size bed and the size is very generous. The material is soft and very comfortable. It's just perfect for the master bedroom. I ordered the white on white and I'm very pleased with my purchase. Overstock always comes through with the best values and quality for the money.Read More
This coverlet is beautiful! I bought two and wish i would have bought more. It is durable and washed well.Read More

Published byPearl Cain Modified about 1 year ago
ECONOMIC VULNERABILITY AND RESILIENCE OF SMALL STATES By Lino Briguglio and Gordon Cordina University of Malta Prepared for the conference "Small States and Resilience Building" Malta, 23-25 April 2007
Layout The presentation is organised as follows: 1. Introduction 2. Economic vulnerability 3. Economic resilience 4. Juxtaposing vulnerability and resilience 5. Strengths and weaknesses of this approach 6. Concluding considerations
Introduction..1 The economic characteristics of small states are well documented, and include limited ability to exploit economies of scale; lack of natural resource endowments and high import content. Other characteristics relate to limitations of diversification possibilities; dependence on a narrow range of products; limitations on the extent to which domestic competition policy can be applied.
Introduction..2 In the case of island states, a major problem relates to high international transport costs and uncertainties of industrial supplies due to insularity and remoteness. In spite of this, many small states would seem to be performing relatively well. This paper will explore this seeming contradiction.
Introduction..3 It is pertinent here to refer to two strands of thought in the literature on small states: ► that based on the premise that being small is an advantage and that is why small states succeed ► that based on the premise (as is the case in the present study) that being small poses a number of disadvantages, and that those small states that succeed do so in spite of and not because of small size. The second strand of thought can be explained as follows: A young person who is born blind can succeed, even more than others with good eyesight, not because he is blind, but because he may try harder to succeed – ie success in this case is in spite of and not because of blindness
Economic Vulnerability..1 There are inherent features associated with small states, which lead to economic vulnerability. Such vulnerability arises from the fact that the economies of small states are, to a large extent, shaped by forces outside their control.
Economic Vulnerability..2 ► Economic vulnerability refers to proneness of an economy to exogenous shocks, lying outside its control ► many studies have shown, that small states tend to be more economically vulnerable than other group of countries ► Manifestations of vulnerability include high degree of fluctuations in GDP and in export earnings
Economic Vulnerability..3 ► In spite of their economic vulnerability, many small states manage to generate a relatively high GDP per capita, when compared to other developing countries ► This has been called the 'Singapore Paradox' ► One can explain this paradox by juxtaposing economic vulnerability with economic resilience ► Economic resilience refers to the extent to which an economy can withstand or bounce back from the negative effects of external shocks
Economic Vulnerability..4 ► Economic vulnerability indices have been constructed by Briguglio (1995, 1997), Briguglio and Galea (2003), Farrugia (2004), Commonwealth Secretariat (2002), United Nations Committee for Development Policy (2005). ► Main determinants in Briguglio and Galea (2003): Economic openness Export concentration Dependence on strategic imports ► Vulnerability indices conclude that small states tend to be more vulnerable than other groups of countries
Economic Resilience..1 Meaning of economic resilience (resilire) refers to: ► the ability of an economy to recover quickly following adverse shocks: shock counteraction ► The ability of an economy to withstand shocks: shock absorption
Economic Resilience..2 ► Nurtured resilience can be measured by an index which refers to what a country is doing to mitigate its inherent vulnerability, such as sound economic governance ► The combination of the vulnerability and resilience indices would indicate the overall risk of being harmed by external shocks
Economic Resilience..3 An economic resilience index has been constructed by Briguglio, Cordina, Farrugia and Vella (2006). It includes four variables capturing shock-absorbing and shock- counteracting elements: ► Macroeconomic stability ► Microeconomic market efficiency ► Good political governance ► Social and environmental conditions
Economic Resilience..4 Macroeconomic stability is important for shock- Counteraction. Components used in the index : ► Fiscal deficit to GDP ► Misery Index: Inflation + unemployment ► External debt to GDP
Economic Resilience..5 Market flexibility is required for shock-absorption: Components used in the index: ► Markets and their efficient operation through the price mechanism is the best way to allocate resources in the economy ► Regulation of credit, labour and business (Economic Freedom of the World Index) ► Measures the extent to which markets operate freely, competitively and efficiently ► Identifies regulatory restraints and bureaucratic procedures on competition and the operation of markets
Economic Resilience..6 Good political governance is an overarching requisite for good economic management conducive resilience building. Components used in the index (referring to the legal structure and security of property rights (Economic Freedom of the World Index) ► Judicial independence ► Impartiality of courts ► Protection of intellectual property rights ► Military interference in the rule of law and political system ► Integrity of the legal system.
Economic Resilience..7 Social development, leading to well developed social relations and effective social dialogue improve the chances of effectiveness of resilience building policies: Components used in the Index, taken from the HDI: ► Heath (life expectancy at birth) ► Education (adult literacy rate and school enrolment ratios)
Economic Resilience..8 The resilience index was constructed as follows: All observations were standardised to give values from 0 to 1 ► Index was computed by taking a simple average of the four components: Macroeconomic stability Microeconomic market efficiency Good governance Social development ► The index was computed for 86 countries in different stages of development and of different sizes.
Juxtaposing Vulnerability and Resilience..1 Resilience Index Vulnerability Index
Juxtaposing Vulnerability and Resilience..2 Vulnerability Resilience Results produced by Briguglio et al (2006)
Vulnerability Resilience Juxtaposing Vulnerability and Resilience..3 Overall tendencies: ► countries which fall in the "best-case" quadrant are mostly the large developed countries; ► countries which fall in the "self-made" quadrant include a number of small states with a high vulnerability score; ► countries which fall in the "prodigal-son" quadrant include mostly large third world countries; and ► countries which fall in the "worst-case" quadrant include a few vulnerable small countries with weak economic governance.
Vulnerability Resilience Juxtaposing Vulnerability and Resilience..4 Regression results indicate that resilience is positively related to GDP per capita and vulnerability is negatively related to GDP per capita
Juxtaposing Vulnerability and Resilience..5 Creating a methodological framework: By distinguishing between inherent economic vulnerability and nurtured economic resilience, it is possible to create a methodological framework for assessing the risk of being affected by external shocks, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows that risk has two elements: ► the first is associated with the inherent vulnerability conditions of the country that is exposed to shocks, and ► the second associated with good economic governance ► the risk of being adversely affected by the shock is therefore the combination of the two elements.
Juxtaposing Vulnerability and Resilience..6
Strengths and Weaknesses of the Approach..1 Strengths: This approach could be used to: ► Support decision-making, setting targets and establishing standards ► Monitor and evaluate developments ► Derive quantitative estimates ► Disseminate of information and drawing attention to the issue ► Quantitative estimation helps to focus the discussion on the essential elements ► Promote the idea of integrated action
Strengths and Weaknesses of the Approach..2 Weaknesses: The methodology requires indices to be applied. This is associated with a number of weaknesses: ► Subjective choice of variables ► Problems of measurement ► Averaging and weighting procedure ► Lack or shortage or other inadequacies of data ► Non-homogenous data
Concluding Considerations ► Results of juxtaposing economic vulnerability and resilience permit an assessment of the reasons behind the economic success or failure of small vulnerable countries. ► Vulnerability is negatively related to economic development due to the effects of negative external shocks. On the other hand, resilience building influences positively economic development as it helps a country to withstand or absort these shocks. ► Many small states succeed economically not because they are small, but in spite of the small size constraints, due to good economic governance.
