When detected early, most skin cancers are curable. In fact, non-melanoma skin cancers (like basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas) can be successfully treated in over 99% of cases if they are promptly diagnosed. Both natural (sun exposure) and artificial (sunbeds) sources of UV radiation can cause skin cancer. As a matter of fact, sunbeds can emit higher levels of UVA radiation. UVA rays have the ability to penetrate the top layer of your skin and inflict most of the damage to the lower layers. Over time, repeated exposure accelerates skin aging. Anyone can get skin cancer, but the segment of the population with fair skin and freckles, specifically those with red or blond hair and blue or light-colored eyes, are at greater risk. Most cancerous skin lesions appear after the age of 50, but by this time, the cumulative effects of sun damage have been sustained. With this in mind, UV protection from an early age would serve as the best defense against skin cancer. Some sun smart suggestions include the routine combined use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen, wearing long-sleeved tops, a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, and avoiding sun exposure during the hours of peak UV intensity (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). An easy way to include sun protection is to use a daily moisturizer with a minimum SPF15 rating.

Assignment From Moscow: Get U.S. Crime War Secrets
By RALPH BLUMENTHAL
Published: November 28, 1988
''Turf? What does this mean?''
Vladimir Kikilo wrinkled his nose in puzzlement. A mop-haired, 36-year-old New York correspondent for the Soviet press agency Tass, Mr. Kikilo had just toured a Brooklyn neighborhood long described by prosecutors as the territory of the Bonanno Mafia family and its fearsome Sicilian faction.
It was part of his latest assignment from Moscow. ''They asked us to file big, analytical article on American judicial experience in fighting organized crime,'' recalled Mr. Kikilo (pronounced Kee-KEE-low), who has spent six years with his family in New York for Tass and speaks fluent, if not always perfectly colloquial, English.
In this case, the assignment was particularly daunting: to help the Soviet authorities devise strategies to battle a growing underworld.
He quoted a law-enforcement official as recently acknowledging, in the spirit of glasnost, or increased openness, the emergence of some 200 Mafia types of clans that often prey on the new nongovernment businesses called cooperatives. The official lamented a lack of laws to combat such mobsters. New Opportunities for Crime
''With perestroika, organized crime has adjusted to new conditions,'' Mr. Kikilo said. Thus, he said, the economic restructuring begun by the Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has created ''fertile ground'' for gangsters, who sometimes affect the cartoonish fashions of the Chicago gangsters of the 1920's Al Capone era.
Although, Mr. Kikilo acknowledged, Soviet police authorities have wide latitude to wiretap and otherwise snoop in national security cases, he said they lacked the same powers when it came to investigating criminals.
In recent months Soviet publications have carried articles on the problem, with the weekly Moscow News reporting creation of an organized-crime study group.
Although the Soviet accounts often refer to the racketeers as ''mafia,'' they are unrelated to the Sicilian and Italian-American clans. Rather, officials say, the Soviet version consists of interrelated domestic gangs grouped chiefly in Moscow, Leningrad, Kiev, Lvov and the southern cities of Odessa and Dnepropetrovsk, among others. The gangs derive their income chiefly from extortion and protection rackets, demanding money to allow the new cooperatives to operate and paying off officials to be left alone. Dual Role for Reporters
''Our South is like our Klondike,'' said Mr. Kikilo, who himself comes from the Caucasus region in the South.
Tass is more than a press service that feeds 4,000 publications and television and radio stations in the Soviet Union. It is also an official information-gathering arm of the Soviet Government. So correspondents like Mr. Kikilo often find themselves compiling public data for the KGB and other Government agencies, serving, as he put it, ''as a combination of informer and reporter'' -although not, by his account, as spies.
Before Brooklyn, Mr. Kikilo's quest took him to the office of the United States Attorney in Manhattan, Rudolph W. Giuliani, renowned - even in Moscow - as America's top racket-buster. Mr. Giuliani recently spent an hour instructing Mr. Kikilo in the intricacies of RICO, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, and other weapons in the American war against organized crime.
''It was a real scoop to talk to Giuliani,'' said Mr. Kikilo, who called the prosecutor ''the law-enforcement king when it comes to organized crime.'' He ranked it with such previous journalistic coups as interviewing George McGovern, Peter Jennings and Sting. Irony in Investigation
The irony of seeking help from the same Justice Department that keeps a wary eye on Mr. Kikilo and his colleagues is not lost on the correspondent.
''I think there is a big computer in the Midwest that is recording all this,'' he said, rolling his eyes mischievously during a recent interview in the Tass office at 50 Rockefeller Plaza.
Last week Mr. Kikilo extended his research to Knickerbocker Avenue in Brooklyn for a firsthand look at some sites that figured in one of the cases he plans to highlight in his article - the ''Pizza Connection case,'' in which heroin valued at $1.6 billion on the street was imported through pizzerias and other fronts before 1984.
He puzzled initially over the concept of turf, before nodding understanding: ''Ahh, yes, turf. But would they commit extortion and racketeering only here?''
First stop was Joe and Mary's restaurant, where the Bonanno family boss Carmine Galante was gunned down in the backyard patio in a mob execution in 1979. Mr. Kikilo seemed disappointed to find it now a Chinese takeout place. A Touch of Incredulity
''I couldn't believe that something like this could have happened in this routine environment,'' he said. He confessed he was expecting something more ''fashionable,'' something more along the lines of a Pennsylvania estate that he saw recently on television and that was said to be owned by a relative of John Gotti, the reputed Gambino family boss.
Then Mr. Kikilo added tactfully: ''Very enriching from the point of experience.''

Quantifying the Effects of Modeling Simplifications for Structural Identification of Bridges
Several long-span, prestressed, segmental box girder bridges were built in the early 1980s and many of them are affected by long-term residual deformations. Although some models have been proposed to describe their structural behavior, several uncertainties remain. This paper examines the effects of errors introduced by model simplifications on predicted values. The results are used to improve the estimation of parameter values using model-based data-interpretation strategies. The procedure is illustrated for the Grand-Mere Bridge located in Canada. This bridge is affected by excessive long-term vertical displacements. Model simplifications such as in its degree of complexity are found to have an important influence on prediction errors. Representing these errors by zero-mean independent Gaussian noise does not adequately describe the relationships among the errors observed in this case study. Estimated errors are used in the interpretation of the ambient vibration acceleration data recorded on the structure. The interpretation approach employed is based on error-domain model falsification. This study provides ranges of parameter values that can be used subsequently to characterize more accurately aspects such as long-term creep and shrinkage behavior.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum, I just bought a Verizon S3 and I imported my calendar on the desktop. I still don't have my schedule in the phone because whenever I go to manually sync the calendar on the S3, it gives the error "Unfortunately, Google calendar sync has stopped." EVERY SINGLE TIME. I've set up mobile on the desktop, and I've tried connecting via WiFi and 4G both get the same error.
Anyone else have this issue? Is there a solution?

Excerpts from
Both Riches and Honor
(formerly "Prosperity")

Both riches and honor come of you, and you rule over all; and in your hand is power and might; and in your hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
IT IS NOW ESTABLISHED in the minds of many people that health of body is a legitimate result of spiritual knowledge and eventually will be one of the signs of a practical follower of Christ; but these same people, many of them, find it difficult to believe that health of circumstances can be demonstrated in the same way and is as legitimate and true a sign of the understanding of spiritual law as the healing of the body. Considering riches with a fair, unprejudiced mind, we shall understand why it is that they have been largely in the possession of the unspiritual instead of the children of God, to whom the heritage rightly belongs.
Worldly riches have been feared, despised, condemned, and even hated by spiritual aspirants, because of ignorance of how to be in them and yet not of them, how to possess them and not be possessed by them. Doubtless this attitude of repudiating and ignoring wealth is less deceiving than the other error: greed and worship of money and the fear of losing riches. But the really wise avoid both attitudes through knowing worldly wealth to be but a reflection of the real, the spiritual riches that must be sought first, last, and always. Having found the riches of heaven, you cannot escape the riches of earth unless you purposely repudiate them.
The rich state of being is the Promised Land that belongs to the people of God. Its occupancy by the selfish and carnal is like the Hittites, Canaanites, and others possessing the Promised Land at the time the Israelites began their march, under Moses, out of Egypt to regain their own country. The land, according to the spies (Num. 13), was most desirable, "a land flowing with milk and honey." This innocent land was sweet and pure and goodly even though exploited by the heathen. So are worldly riches: impersonal, good, useful, commanding the world's respect. Let us be true and not despise that which symbolizes a divine blessing, nor yet on the other hand lust for that which is not the real riches; for "how hardly shall they that have riches enter the kingdom of God!" which is a saying that applies to the eager, anxious poor as well as the foolish rich. It is not money itself that is the root of all evil; money as such is nothing but a symbol. It is the love of money that makes the terrible trouble in families and between friends and spoils the candidate for spiritual power and illumination.
The first step in prosperous attainment is to have the right attitude of mind and heart toward worldly wealth; to see that prosperity and spirituality must be wedded here upon the earth and that man's must be the word that makes the marriage an accomplished fact. Too long has prosperity been looked upon as material and carnal, a Dame Fortune, a scarlet woman, fickle and false, like the untrue wife of Hosea, who forgot the source of her riches. "She did not know that I gave her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold." Too long has spirituality, like an austere monk, ascetic, condemnatory, impractical, and exclusive, repudiated "riches" and not known that whom "God hath joined" man cannot keep asunder. That old spirituality is dead. All hail to the new, which does not put off the kingdom to a time after death but realizes that here and now, today, is the place and time for the riches of the kingdom to be made manifest.
Man, like an officiating priest, marries these, the spirituality within and the wealth without, which have seemed to be two and even to have been in opposition, (1) by believing in their union and (2) by revealing that in its true character prosperity is spiritual and spirituality prospers. Prosperity is of God, like life, health, and strength. It is man's privilege to use these divine gifts as he wills; he may use his strength to knock another down; he may use his health to impose his appetites on others; but these uses do not lessen the fact that strength and health are the gifts of God. Man may misuse his prosperity, may derive it from sources dishonest and selfish, but those are his mistakes; the truth is still that all that is universally good in itself is of the same origin, God. And prosperity originates with the all-prosperous One, who makes all things good and very good and never knows failure. There is not one good pursued by man that, when regarded in its purity and from the highest viewpoint, cannot be identified with God. "I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the ... house of bondage." I am the Lord, your good, that delivered you from that great trouble, saved you from that mistake, failure, or other liability -the evil that beset you.
Prosperity is the presence of God. It is that expression of comfort, power, beauty, and freedom which is always associated with the kingdom of heaven. Whenever the advent of the Christ reign is described, the language of earthly riches is used, and the Scriptures teem with heavenly attributes and comparisons, drawn from the prosperity of men of the world. Identifying prosperity with God, we see this to be the truth of its being, that it is omnipresent and universal. Being everywhere, you do not need to go from place to place to get it. You find it within. Then you carry it with you - you are yourself prosperity. Like the poet Whitman you can say, "I seek not fortune, I myself am good fortune." You find it in the business you have now. You fulfill the promise declared of him whose "delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night ... And whatsoever he does shall prosper."
Being universal, the prosperity that is one with God expresses itself in everything and through everyone. It manifests itself in your life as abundant good luck. All the kingdoms of the world yield their best to you. In the vegetable kingdom your plants are healthy, your crops are abundant and not subject to drought, frost, pest, or blight; in the mineral kingdom the gold and silver, the treasures in the rocks, diamonds, coal, and oil, are uncovered to you; in the animal kingdom your cattle increase and keep in fine condition; in the kingdom of man you are magnetic, blessed with friends, with initiative, with executive ability and efficiency. Prosperity, seen to be one with God, is not temporal and changeable. It is eternal. It is not limited in its expression. It is not only manifest in the ordinary ways of the world but it also includes "prosperity" in health and in strength, in honors and in pleasures, in love and in learning. The prosperity of the worldly-minded has the proverbial wings, and there is always a skeleton at the feast of the unprincipled rich. How superstitious they are! They build fine houses and hasten to move into them, because forsooth! rich men have died before they could dwell in their new houses! How fearful they are of competitors! How discontented with the riches they have! How little hold they have upon health and life and their loved ones! Riches without spirituality are Dead Sea fruit. The substance and lasting joy of riches is a knowledge of Truth. Yes, the prosperity of the worldly-minded and unprincipled has wings.
Let us return to the statement that spirituality prospers us and consider how it does so. First, it gives us insight into human character, so that we know with whom to associate in business, what are the things that men want, how to please. Secondly, it inspires confidence within and invites the confidence of others in us. Thirdly, it increases our fellow feeling, gives us a lively interest in the welfare of even strangers, making us magnetic. Fourthly, it gives us a clear head, sober judgment, common sense. Fifthly, it gives us poise and trust as to the future. These are a few of the reasons why spirituality can prosper us; others will be disclosed as we pursue the subject. Good fortune is not a thing of chance. It is not a fatality, not a matter of our stars or our karma, but its cause lies in laws fulfilled either consciously or unconsciously, the latter with most people, the former with the enlightened.
One of these laws, is acknowledgment of the real source of our fortune. This law was fulfilled by Abraham, who would not receive anything from the king of Sodom-"I will not take A thread nor a shoelatchet nor aught that is yours, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich" - and this law was enjoined strictly upon all the Hebrews. For the tendency of the mortal is to ascribe his success to his own skill or labor, foresight or energy, forgetting that even these are gifts of God and that they are being applied daily by others, but without success. Our God dwells within us, our real I AM. This is likewise the I AM of everyone else and cannot be claimed by any mortal ego as his exclusively. It is the same one in us today that spoke to the ancient Israelites and now gives us warning of the way to be eternally prosperous: You shall eat and be full, and you shall bless Jehovah your God for the good land which he has given you. Beware lest you forget Jehovah your God, in not keeping his commandments ... lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; then your heart be lifted up, and you forget Jehovah your God . . . and lest you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth. But you shall remember Jehovah your God, for it is he that gives you power to get wealth.
Cultivating an intimate communion with the divine I AM within us, we are led from one expression of prosperity to another, along a sure road whose every step is scientific and inspired. This inner guide is called "the Holy Spirit" by Jesus Christ, "the Spirit of truth," "the Comforter." It is impersonal and universal yet its voice can be heard unmistakably by those who will not give it a personal interpretation (as when it is called "spirits"-what tricks and folly and even outrages have been perpetrated under the influence of such a delusion!) nor ignore its great commandments given through the prophets. This inner guide has been called by a variety of names, such as "something in me," "my impression," intuition, business sense, even "the prosperity microbe" by a well-known American wit, who says that he never could be rich because he never had had the "microbe." Once many years ago when Bell, the telephone inventor, was first placing his stock on the market, he saw that it was a good investment. He therefore drew out all he had in the bank - it was only thirty thousand dollars-and was on his way to buy preferred Bell Telephone shares, when he was met by an officious friend, who laughed scornfully at his simplicity and persuaded him to return with his money to the bank. "And so I just escaped being a multimillionaire because I did not have the microbe," he mournfully concluded. He had it but did not know its name and nature! By whatever name it is called, it is only another name for business sense or business ability.
A young Chicago broker, who enjoyed an ephemeral Napoleonic run among the bulls and bears on the exchange, was beseeched to give out the secret of when and how much to buy and sell that was making him such a phenomenal success. He confessed that it was no exact system that he could define, only "impressions." "Something in me prompts Me to do it, and it is irresistible," he said. But his power was of short duration, for he did not know that it was the Holy Spirit. Therefore he did not seek wisdom from it, so as to know when ,to abandon the foolish manipulations that are nothing to Spirit, which chooses the nobler instruments of men's hearts and minds rather than stocks and bonds. When ethical laws are ignored and crossed, no ordinary illumination can keep the novice in the use of spiritual power from making a failure. It is possible to ascend heights of success under the tutelage of the Holy Spirit and never become falsely entangled with the moral law, as witness one beautiful character, who was led to the discovery of remarkable mines in Wisconsin, and to establishing a beautiful home in one of the most favored spots in California, where she had a chapel and healed many sick people. She had heard the inner voice from her youth, and like Abraham, she had been assured from the beginning that if she were obedient to all its instructions great riches would be hers; and like Abraham, when she became rich, she had acknowledged the one Spirit, Lord God of the whole earth, as the source of her prosperity. I refer to Mrs. Chynoweth of Edenvale, near San Jose, California, who for years published a most interesting paper describing her wonderful, indeed thrilling and romantic, guidance and protection by the Spirit.
Settling it in one's heart that the law the Master gave - "Seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things [after which the nations seek] shall be added" - is a sound, scientific rule for the establishment of eternal prosperity, let us proceed to fulfill it. And early in the pursuit let us strictly regard that "first." So shall we discover that in a new sense "the first" shall be "the last"; in the sense that to seek first the kingdom of God truly we must make it our last or final search and our only pursuit. This means that we are not in Truth for its prerequisites but for itself. It means a certain indifference to the things "added," indifference as to how long they are in coming, as to whether they ever come - such is the paradoxical state of mind of one who knows that prosperity is inevitable.
Meditate daily upon the pure Being of God under the name of prosperity. Continue the meditation under all the other names as being one with prosperity: God is Prosperity, Omnipresence, Omnipotence, the Good, Life, Health, Love, Wisdom, Peace, Purity, Faith, Truth, All One. Copy the above upon a card, to be put in some convenient place for ready reference. Begin some definite practice such as the following:
Keep a handy little notebook in which to jot down helpful thoughts, original and otherwise.
Identify prosperity with all the other names of God, not all at once but one after the other, from time to time, and watch what masterful thoughts will arise. Thus we reason: Since God is prosperity and God is omnipresence, therefore prosperity is omnipresence; that is, prosperity is everywhere, in all I meet, in my business, in whatever I put my hand to. I do not need to move from place to place. Yet I can go anywhere and be prosperous. Everything and everybody prospers me.
Since God is prosperity and God is omnipotence, prosperity is omnipotence; my prosperity is all-powerful; even though it seem but as a grain of mustard seed yet it can move mountains. Nothing can keep it from me. It prospers itself. Nothing succeeds like success. Since God is prosperity and God is the good, therefore prosperity is the good; that is, on the plane of the Highest, prosperity will bring me good only. It will not bring me pride or folly. It will not mislead me or make me unspiritual. True prosperity prospers others, being of the same nature as the one who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before. My prosperity benefits my neighbor; it is not parasitical; it is the presence of God. Since God is prosperity and God is life, prosperity is life; that is, there is life throughout my affairs. There is no waiting for the death of anything or anyone to bring me prosperity. Prosperity is one with health, that is, there is no exhaustion of vitality and energy in bringing prosperity. Prosperity is one with love. On the plane of the Highest universal unchangeable love, not selfishness and greed, is the key to prosperity. Proceed in this way ad libitum, always taking each name in its highest, ideal sense.
What is here recommended is a practice that has ever been recommended by spiritual teachers from ancient Oriental times, and that was especially indorsed by Jesus Christ in His words "Watch and pray" and in His direction that men ought "always to pray, and not to faint." If the Orientals thought prayer always meant a beseeching and asking for something, Paul would never have given the precept "Pray without ceasing." He knew that it meant communion with the omnipresent One, our life and very self, and communication to us of the vital, blessed gifts of God. The worldly-wise man who grows rich thinks money, prices, property, ways and means, devices night and day in order to gain a prosperity that is but as a breath of wind. The man who would know eternal prosperity thinks God night and day until he sees and knows nothing else but that one supreme, blissful presence.
CHAPTER II - The Magic of Meekness
Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. Happy are the dispassionate, for they shall inherit the earth.
When abstinence from theft in mind (envy and covetousness) and act is complete in the devotee, he has power to obtain all material wealth.
WE HAVE LONG been willing to acknowledge the powerful place that mind occupies in our affairs, that is, by virtue of its objective, not its subjective, activity. Men point to inventions and arts, writings and buildings, business and science as the noble fruits of man's intellect; and these outer results as the means, along with other externalized thoughts, by which mind influences the world. But that there is a way for thought to work directly upon these outer affairs is as difficult for some persons to believe as it once was for all of us to believe that an electric current could be used without a conductor. But just as the Marconi messages do have "conductors," though invisible to men's eyes, so thought force has conductors and is transmitted though the avenues are still unsensed by mortal man.
Science is working with thought, experimenting and collecting data, and certain scientists in the van of progress can hardly restrain themselves from publishing their conviction that thoughts can be felt and measured, analyzed and described, as heat and electricity have been, by their effects. But science is conservative. It is philosophy, acknowledging intuition as a factor in acquiring knowledge, that will keep men abreast of the times and be the handmaiden of the new thought and theology, whose influence can no longer be denied. Suffice it for us to know that all over the world men and women are proving that thoughts are the greatest forces and substances upon the whole earth; that thoughts can be read and their vibrations felt most distinctly; that thoughts create atmospheres that are attractive or repellent according to their character. It is a crying necessity for men to be educated in this field so that they may not be exploited by the unscrupulous, nor fall into the error of such exploitation themselves, but may rather join in using the great thought forces that make for righteousness; that is, for the health and happiness, wealth and freedom of their neighbors as well as themselves.
The word, silent or audible, is the conductor of thought, and the trained mind knows what words to use, and what thoughts to make positive and negative; and how to keep the true thoughts free from adulteration of false notions, opinions, sentiments, and fears. In the preceding chapter we dwelt upon the thoughts that constitute the true positive activity of the mind, that make for success through spirituality. But not only must we know the true positive way of thinking; we must also know the right way to make denials. For in the realm of appearances there are both the positive and the negative to be correctly manifested if things are to be rightly reflected. To try to fill our mind with true thoughts while clinging to old false ideas is like trying to fill a bottle full of ink with milk, without emptying out the ink, with the result that we have neither ink nor milk but a useless liquid. Out of the many affirmations of the last lesson, let us select two: "God is omnipresent" and "God is good." It logically follows that "Good is omnipresent," the first great axiom of the true science of God. It is as simple as two and two are four and it is as important. It is the scientific basis of true and lasting optimism. When the mind has "a reason concerning the hope" that is in it, then hope can pass into certainty, and even at the times when experience and the senses would utterly sweep away a groundless optimism, one can abide in cheerfulness until its wisdom and its effectiveness are proved. Prosperity and cheerfulness are boon companions; one always attracts the other. "Plenty and good cheer" has passed into a proverb.
That the realization "Good is omnipresent" may be with one continually, the mind must be given over to the thinking of Truth night and day. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart,, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind." "The law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate thereon day and night." "Pray without ceasing." "In all your ways acknowledge him." These scriptural instructions can be fulfilled only by determined refusal to entertain the opposite thoughts and feelings. Thus the mind refuses to meditate upon evils and failures, wrongs and losses, fears and worriments. Every time an unhappy thought arises wisdom displaces it with a silent statement of the allness of the good. Reason becomes the schoolmaster, and the sense testimonies are set aside. "Remember Jehovah your God, for it is he that gives you power to get wealth." Not only do we remember this, but we learn to forget the old ways of ascribing our riches to material sources and personal effort. In remembering the Lord our God, we are reminding ourselves of all good, and this means the forgetting of evil. There are people who are suffering from conditions of poverty because their minds are filled with memories of losses and failures. If you think about loss, you produce what you think about. Sometimes it is not the loss of money and things but the loss of friends, or reputation, or some good that seems to have no connection with one's financial welfare.
Socrates says, "He that grieves much is a magnet for attracting waste of property." Cease to grieve or entertain sad memories of any kind. One student of Truth, Mrs. T-, had a revelation as to the cause of her failures upon hearing these words of Socrates explained by her teacher. The psychology of the connection between grief and loss is that grief is a deep feeling about, and meditation upon, lack and loss; and mind being cause, these thoughts of loss are outpictured in circumstances as loss of work, money, patronage, friends, and other forms of deprivation. Mrs. T. could trace a series of failures in prosperity to a marked event in her life - when a beloved son had gone utterly out of her life. She had been a very successful dressmaker; had built up a clientele that was rich and increasing daily so that she was able to keep a large staff of workers very busy in meeting the demands upon her skill, ingenuity, taste, and good workmanship. She had been a widow with an only son when thrown upon her own resources and had had very little of the world's goods. But at this time she had a goodly sum in the bank, real estate that was valuable, and everything pointed to a life of financial independence. But one day they brought her beautiful twelve year-old boy, who had been the joy of her life, to her door- he had been drowned. Although she knew that in Truth he still lived, she was so young in it that she forgot to apply her principles and gave herself up to paroxysms of grief and days and weeks of mourning. Her mournful presence repelled her wealthy clients. One by one they sought other dressmakers and tailors. Down, down went her income, and loss followed loss. Finally she attended a course of lessons in prosperity and received that nugget of gold which Socrates gave. She realized how disloyal she had been to her faith. She was like one awakened from a weird nightmare, and then and there she resolved to put away all sorrow and to remember that her son lived throughout eternity, and no longer to deny the presence of All-Good. From the day of that resolution her affairs revived, and today she has a deep-seated consciousness of God's eternal supply and demonstrates it daily.
Our thinking is assisted by our speech; so let our determination be to speak on the bright side and refrain from talking about "hard times" and "money being scarce" and other forms of financial straits. Man himself decides the character of the times by his mental attitude. Man controls the currency, he can make it free or congested at will; and sometimes one man can be the key log of a whole situation, continuing the "jam" by his stolidity or causing an easy flow by his freedom. As an illustration of the difference it makes whether an individual talks "hard times" or simply refrains from such talk, a man told me the following as an actual experience: There were two merchants in a town in Southern California, both in a flourishing state, when there came a financial panic, which put the character of both to the test. One talked of the bank failures and the gloomy outlook; the other was full of assurance that it could not last, had only cheery answers to all the pessimistic speculations, and never indulged himself in any talk on the negative side. About twenty miles from this town lived a young man on a ranch, which he was developing while depending for his living upon a monthly remittance that came from his home in England. He knew nothing of what was taking place in the rest of the world, as he had no newspapers, receiving his mail only when he drove to town, which was at long intervals of time. On such visits he always laid in a good store of provisions. In the midst of the panic he went to town, stopped at the store of the optimistic merchant, and "stocked up" liberally. Then he went over to the other merchant's place, where he intended to buy just as freely. He found that merchant standing idly at his door, and he exclaimed at the dearth of customers. Thereupon the merchant launched forth on his tale of woe, which so affected the young man that he ceased all further purchasing and soon started back to his ranch, resolving to hold onto his money, although England at the time was not in the least affected by the local stringencies of America. According to my informant, the optimist went through the hard times with little falling away of business, while the other merchant did not recover his old status until long after the panic had passed. It is as foolish for men to hold back their money at a time of national, financial difficulties as for the motorist to shut down on his power when ascending a hill. Nothing can change this natural action of self-preservation but spiritual insight and a regard for one's neighbor's welfare equal to one's regard for one's own.
Three dominant types of carnal thought must be emptied out of the mind,
the belief in evil,
the belief in materiality, and
the belief in the mortal self;
and daily three dominant spiritual ideas must take their place,
the belief in All-Good,
the belief in Mind as the one substance and cause, and
the belief in the God self as all in all.
The power to set aside one's human selfhood through realizing the self that is divine is called meekness. This word is not commonly understood, being generally associated with weakness and lack of spiritedness, whereas no one can be truly meek who is not strong and spirited. Moses has been cited as the most remarkable example of the meekness that inherits the earth. Full of fire and charged with power, he did not use these for his own personal advantage. But be wished all to stand at the same place that he had reached. One of his followers, Joshua, once grew very jealous for his master's glory and power and asked permission to stop certain young men in the camp from prophesying, because they had not been ordained to that work by the great Moses. But the mighty man replied to his disciple in these noble words: "Are you jealous for my sake? would that all Jehovah's people were prophets, and that Jehovah would put his Spirit upon them!"
There are people who do not achieve prosperity because they are so full of their earthly selfhood, all the time thinking of their rights, and seeking to exalt themselves, and demanding acknowledgment from others of their righteousness and ability. Pride prevents them from doing work for which they are specially adapted and which they could honor and exalt if they entered into it in the right spirit. Egotism makes them insufferable to others, even to those who would otherwise be glad to prosper them. Envy makes them bitter and even malicious in their action and speech, so that men who are in a position to choose their associates avoid them. Covetousness and greed make them overshoot the mark in placing a value on their goods; again fear may make them run to the other extreme to undervalue their work and cheapen themselves. Ambition blinds them and after many failures leaves them stranded, wallowing in pessimism and poverty. All this is because they did not know how to let go of their mortal selfhood, the "little I," and so to enter into the power of their mighty meekness. Meekness is freedom from pride, envy, greed, and egotism. It is a certain "emptiness" that has a wonderful drawing power. T
The principle of meekness is the same as that of the vacuum. It is this principle which keeps all good in circulation. What the vacuum is in nature, meekness is with the respect to the rich substance of God. Without a "vacuum" that continually demands filling many movements of nature would cease. It is the vacuum that draws the air into the lungs, and in mechanics it is the secret of the useful pump. Even when men have had but little of this meekness it has made them rich. It is the key to the prosperity of many a "self-made" man. Starting from small beginnings, letting no pride stand in his way, such a man has gone steadily ahead, often quite free from envy of the success of others, and even at the pinnacle of his own success being so free from vanity as to do menial things, if exigency requires it, and not thinking himself lowered by anything he does. Yet he may again lose this meekness; he may forget and let pride and egotism arrest his development, all because his meekness is not grounded in knowledge but is an unconscious gift from his God Being.
When one's God-given meekness continues through life, then one's prosperity includes great honor and position, along with riches. The world loves to honor the man who loses himself in the cause for which he stands. It was this quality in Gen. Ulysses S. Grant that made it easy for the world to honor the United States in honoring him. His reticence, his freedom from egotism, his modesty and freedom from all demands as U. S. Grant, opened wide the gates for the inrush of praise and gifts. The world lay at his feet. He needed only the Christ knowledge to have placed him forever beyond the reach of failure. The full meekness of the Christ is established in the consciousness that makes right valuations. In it there is ever the seeking first of the kingdom of God, and there is perfect deliverance from the pursuit of material things. Material things follow; they seek the person possessed of such a consciousness. He does not need to run after them; they are drawn to him as fervently as steel to the magnet, for he has the substance that they represent. Those who pursue material things are always just missing them, and not until they have ceased to care and may even have forgotten their ardent desire for them, do these things come into their world. The Talmud says: "Who runs after greatness, greatness runs away from; but who runs away from greatness, greatness runs after."
Turn that rich desire nature of yours toward the realization that there is nothing for you really to pursue. All that you have sought, all that is worth having, you already have, you already are. Awake! Arise! Come to yourself in realizing the great truth of the ages that the one desire of our heart is God, and always has been. And God we have, and God we are. For there is nothing else to have or to be. Perceiving this, for very joy's sake you fulfill the injunction of old, "Diligently harken to the voice of Jehovah," wherever uttered, by the lips of fools or in the oracles of masters, in the songs of birds or of poets, in the roar of the earthquake or in the still small voice within. And ever hearing and obeying the prophecy, you find it is fulfilled in your life: And all these blessings shall come upon you, and overtake you . . . Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field ... Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading-trough. Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out. . . . And Jehovah will make you plenteous for good, in the fruit of your body, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your ground ... Jehovah will open unto you his good treasure the heavens, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand.
In conjunction with the meditation, given at the close of the last lesson, meditate daily upon the following, learning the words by heart, and repeating them until there is an answering thrill within you at each repetition:
1 AM THAT I AM is the rich fountain of my abundant supply. By the power of the Spirit rich substance is now overflowing into every avenue and expression of my life. God's presence and power, working all things together for good, is felt and seen in everything I put my hand to. I AM THAT I AM, my true self, fills my whole being and all my world. Where I am there is only good, and therefore declare: There is no place for evil; there never can be any failure; there is nothing to fear. Where I am there is only pure Spirit, Divine Mind, the eternal rich substance of God. Therefore I declare the nothingness of material things. They have no power to attract or bind me. I know no greed for possessions. I have all that is real, and I covet nothing that passes away. Where I am there is only love that loves and gives to all, and therefore I know no envy nor jealousy, no pride nor selfishness. "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Renewable energy sources are originally derived from the power of the Sun's radiation. All types of the renewable energy source are considered the most Ancient and the most modern types of energy that are used now by humans.
Solar Energy ,both in the forms of direct solar radiation and indirect solar radiation "Such as water or wind power" are considered the main source of energy in which all early human societies were based. As when early humans first used fire they were actually harnessing the power of photosynthesis.
Examples Of How solar Energy Is The Main Source Of All Energy Types
1- The solar-driven process by which plants are created from water and from the atmosphere around it "carbon dioxide".
2- Scientists are working in developing new techniques to harness the movement of wind and water which is caused by solar heating of the oceans.
Being around The era of progress ,Communicants now becomes more advanced and architectures begun to design building in a way which could take advantages of the sun's energy, How? That's could be by enhancing their natural use of light and heat ,which will help reduce the use of artificial Sources of heating and lighting.
The Techniques of harnessing the power of the sun. water ,wind are actually continuing to develop throughout the early years of industrial revolution ,but around these years the advantage of coals the first and the most plentiful of fossil fuels has become really apparent ,As it Started to cover the needs of energy which for sure had replaced the the renewable sources of energy.
The Facts of how fossil fuels could cause a series damage to the environment Such as air pollution and also mining accidents have been voiced for several centuries, but with the prices of fossil fuels which were rising in beginning of 1970 ,Humans took this way too seriously also the possibilities of fossil fuels running out made them start searching for a replacement since then.
After World War II ,Nuclear energy appeared it was considered as a cheap ,clean ,and plentiful of fossil fuels ,but the development of nuclear energy has stopped due to concerns about cost ,safety and waste disposal.
That made our minds to think about how clean renewable energy sources are they are harmless to the people and to the environment , don't emit any harmful gases into the atmosphere. and the what most countries discovered and they already started to install a huge solar panel farms ,and also wind turbine farms including the use of the other types of renewable energy like geothermal energy and hydro energy and so on .
Take Notice
Fossil Fuel is about to end so there is no way but using renewable energy Sources for producing electricity, so just trying to reduce the use of fossil fuels and increase the dependency on renewable energy source will save us a lot later in the future.

ASHRAE's Position Document on Environmental Tobacco Smoke is now public and can be distributed.
This ASHRAE statement reaffirms:
The American Society for Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineering
(ASHRAE) is the organization that develops engineering standards for building
ventilation systems. ASHRAE now bases its ventilation standard for acceptable
indoor air quality on an environment that is completely free from secondhand
tobacco smoke, secondhand marijuana smoke, and emissions from electronic smoking
devices. CITATION: ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2013, Addenda 2015 - Ventilation
for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality. ta, GA: American Society of Heating, Refrigerating,
and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. Atlanta, GA: American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. https://www.ashrae.org/File Library/docLib/StdsAddenda/62_1_2013_2015Supplement_20150203.pdf
This is a large step for ASHRAE; however, the document would have gone further to protect all workers and patrons from secondhand smoke exposure if it had not contained a statement that isolated and separately ventilated smoking rooms can control secondhand smoke exposure in nonsmoking areas.
Write ASHRAE to thank its Board of Directors for unanimously rejecting Big Tobacco's interests by adopting this position document. Encourage them to go one step further in safeguarding public health by removing the statement about smoking rooms. You may direct your letters to:
ASHRAE Board of Directors
c/o Gloria Cofer
ASHRAE Headquarters
1791 Tullie Circle
Atlanta, GA 30329
ASHRAE position on secondhand smoke was
cited in the 2006 U.S. Surgeon General's Report.
Additionally, after the ASHRAE Board of Directors encouraged its members to vote against a petition being circulated by the American Gaming Association and the National Restaurant Association to create a separate ventilation standard for hospitality venues, members overwhelmingly voted against the petition, determining that ventilation rates for restaurants, bars, and other hospitality venues are already specified by Standard 62.1, which applies to 100% smokefree areas only.
This marks another victory for public health. The American Gaming Association and the tobacco companies had lobbied ASHRAE to create a separate standard for years. In voting the petition down, ASHRAE's members are reinforcing their commitment to protect health.

If you've felt the sting of the critic's mean words it's natural to want to avoid future attacks.
And it's really easy to avoid criticism.
Simply do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.
In short, waste your life and no one will criticize you.
(Except perhaps your parents because they love you enough to tell you you're wasting your life.)
If you could live you whole life and do nothing but good you still could not avoid criticism.
One man did that and they nailed him to a cross three years after He went public.
Will Rogers said, "I never met a man I didn't like."
At first I thought that was an outlandish statement – especially since he knew so many politicians in his day.
But years later it dawned on me what he was saying.
It makes sense if you put the emphasis on "met".
I never met a man I didn't like.
The more we know folks the easier it is to love them.
Most families have a crazy aunt or curmudgeon of an uncle.
But they are family – they're your crazy aunt or cranky uncle – so you love them in spite of themselves.
It's so easy to criticize folks we don't know, that we see on TV or read a blog by or who cut us off on the freeway or who we work with or ….
Perhaps that's why Jesus could truly love all people. He truly had "met" them. He knew all things about them.
(I suppose being God also helped.)
But perhaps if I would take more time to get to know people and spend less time running my mouth in judgment I could be a little bit more like Jesus.
What do you think?
Why don't you leave your thoughts on this below.
After all, I'm pretty sure, after this post, you won't be critical.
Luke 6:32
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
John 13:35
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

Appropriate for slimmer people with bordered fat-pads. In any case liposuction can't substitute for natural weight loss.
If planned 2 – 3 suction locations a patient can choose from the outpatient procedure "Tumescent method" under local anaesthesia or under general anaesthesia with hospitalisation till the next day at the clinic. In case there are more locations planned for suction or if the locations are extensive then during "Tumescent method" there is a risk of anaesthesia overdose, hence the procedure must be done under local or general anaesthesia.
The principle of the procedure is the inserting of a cannula (a thin tube with holes at the end) through tiny incisions around the fat pad. Cannula moves in the fat, which causes a break up of fat cells. Its content is drawn into the cunnula. This basic principle can be modified by means of various devices.
The most frequent modifications:
- Ultrasonic liposuction – breaking up the fat cells through cannula is simplified due to the ultrasound. Nowadays, the use of ultrasound for a liposuction is potentially considered to be dangerous to health.
- Vibration liposuction (Power assisted technique) – a device, which is in the handle of the cannula, produces in-and-out movement at the cannula, makes doctor´s work and the movement of the cannula easier.
- A laser liposuction - A laser beam that is inserted into the cannula through the optical fibre simplifies laser liposuction – breaking up the fat cells. Very thin cannulas are used for this method.
- Non-invasive methods (fat is to be dissolved / removed through intact skin) by means of ultrasound – Ultrashape, Ultracontour device or radio-frequency undulation Accent XL)
- Injection-Lipolysis – the fat is infiltrated with injections of special substance that are to remove the fat by influencing fat metabolism.
I perform only classic liposuction when the fat pad is saturated / infiltrated with a special solution that makes the liposuction easier. The solution can contain admixture of local anaesthesia if the procedure is done without general anaesthesia. Afterwards the fat is sucked through the cannulas with 3-6 mm in diameter.
Who is the procedure suitable for
The procedure is not appropriate as a substitute of the diet or for general loss of weight. Fat suction from all body surfaces is not possible. Ideal candidate is the one with bordered fat-pads that are formed mainly on the stomach, hips, inner or outer sides of thighs, under the chin and elsewhere. While losing your weight you reduce your weight all over your body surface except for problematic parts, then the liposuction makes sense and it is possible to expect a good result.
Before the operation, consultations, setting the date of the operation
Consultation (active) is necessary as the first step when deciding for the procedure because of the greatest difference between expected result and real possibilities of the liposuction method. Consultation should precede the operation. It is necessary to make an appointment for the consultation by telephone. If it is really difficult for you to come for the consultation then it is possible to do the "consultation" by sending photographs via e-mail on info(zavinac)stepan-plastika.cz or in different way "at the distance". Logically, this way is connected with a certain source of risk for misunderstanding and is appropriate only for an emergency solution. Consultation is done just before the procedure then.
No special preparation is needed for a healthy person. If the procedure is done under general anaesthesia, the pre-operation examination is needed. If the procedure is done outpatiently it is necessary to eliminate a blood clotting disorder in a scope of a consultation examination or through laboratory investigation.14 days before the procedure it is not good to take any medicine containing acetylsalicil acid (Acylpyrin, Anopyrin). Patients who take anti-coagulants are to be considered carefully. It is not suitable to undergo the operation 3 days before and after menses. Operation can be performed during the whole year ,but considering the necessity of wearing compression garments colder months are more appropriate.
If the operation date isn´t set within the consultation, it is possible to make an appiontment for a consultation by telephone. A deposit is to be paid for a date reservation.
How the procedure is performed
It is appropriate to come for a procedure dressed in loose-fitting clothes, so it is possible to put on liposuction garments with bandages under.
Outpatient procedure under local anesthesia:
After the marking of the exact extent, location and photo documentation of the locations from which you wish the fat to be removed, the fat is injection-infiltrated with a solution with admixture of local anesthesia. The substance prevents from a painful procedure and makes the suction easier. As soon as the suctioned part is completely numb, a cannula is inserted into a tiny incision on a skin nearby. The cannula with the smallest diameter is chosen to prevent from formation of roughness The cannula is moved in the fat in the way of "a ray of light-movement" and the dull end of cannula breaks up membranes of fat cells. The fat flows out of them and is suctioned by holes in cannula by means of vacuum of a liposuction pump. Not suctioned rest of the fat is gradually removed in a natural way. After the procedure the incisions are stitched or strapped with a special plaster substituting stitches. Stitches are necessary to be removed on the 10th-14th day.
Procedure under general anesthesia:
In case there are more locations planned for the suction or if the locations are extensive, the consumption of local anaesthesia might get over a safe amount that might result in anaesthetic overdose. That's why it is necessary to provide general anaesthesia to avoid painful procedure. The general anaesthesia can be done outpatiently and after it subsides, you go home. Or you can stay till the next day, which is necessary in case when the operation is of such an extent that might influence general health state of the patient. The way of the performing is the same with only one difference – the anaesthesia is not added into the solution and you sleep during a whole procedure.
Post-operative course and recommendations
It is necessary to aarrange a lift home after the operation. After the outpatient procedure another person should be present in case of any difficulties. The next day after the procedure you put off liposuction garments and all layers of bandages in horizontal position in bed. The bandages will be soaked with the rest of liposuction solution, which flows out through the skin and it is coloured by blood. After you can get up and have a shower. After having showers disinfect the incisions and strap them with a plaster with pad. After liposuction it is possible and necessary to have a shower in common way using common soaps or shampoos. Always disinfect and strap plasters over incisions.
Liposuction garments must be worn all the time especially during the first days with necessary breaks for a shower and using the toilet. Recommended period for wearing the garments is individual and it keeps between 3 to 7 days.
In the first post-operative days the result of the procedure is covered with post-operative swelling that the suctioned parts can be even more extensive than before the procedure. Bruising is very common. Pain is not great and it reminds of bruising or contusion. Temperature of 38 C is not exceptional. After 3 weeks a suctioned fat of there starts to be visible but only after 3 months one can talk about the final result.
During the first 14 days a quiet in bed without any greater burden or movement activities is appropriate. After the procedure it is possible to go to work the next day but you should count on certain difficulties eg. when sitting. After 14 days, fitness exercises are recommended to be started.
After the performing of the liposuction, the fat is not going to be deposited into suctioned location like before, nevertheless; it is necessary to keep principles of healthy regime and adequate food.
Risks of the operation
Formation of asymmetries, roughness, acceleration of cellulitis, infection, loose skin. Dissatisfaction caused by unrealistic expectations towards the liposuction is the most frequent of all cosmetic procedures.

Rowena's review of Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson.
Hero: Michael
Heroine: Jane Margaux
Jane Margaux is a lonely little girl. Her mother, a powerful Broadway producer, makes time for her only once a week, for their Sunday trip to admire jewelry at Tiffany's. Jane has only one friend: a handsome, comforting, funny man named Michael. He's perfect. But only she can see him. Michael can't stay forever, though. On Jane's ninth birthday he leaves, promising her that she'll soon forget him. Years later, in her thirties, Jane is just as alone as she was as a child. And despite her own success as a playwright, she is even more trapped by her overbearing mother. Then she meets someone-a handsome, comforting, funny man. He's perfect. His name is Michael . . .
I read this book for my book club meeting that meets next week and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. For some reason, I really dragged my feet to get this book read but once Ames put her foot down and told me that I had to read this book before any of my other books, I got this book read. It was a really fast read for me and before I knew what was what, I was wrapped up in Jane and Michael's world and my heart was sighing all over the dang place.
Jane is the main character and when she's a child, she has an imaginary friend named Michael who spends time with her and keeps her company while her mother is busy building her empire. Jane's an only child and with her mother always busy in meetings and dinners and what not, she spent a lot of time on her own. Enter Michael. Michael talked with her, he played with her and he made her happy but when she turns nine years old, Michael left her. It was time for him to move on to his next child and it was time for Jane to grow up. The way that things work is that once an imaginary friend leaves a child, the child forgets about them and they move on with their life. They grow up and other things become important to them but something happened with Jane because she never forgot Michael and Michael, never forgot about Jane.
Fast forward, many many years later: Jane is in her thirties and she's working with her mother and just finished a successful run of the play that she wrote on Broadway. She's in talks about taking that same play and turning it into a movie. She's got a boyfriend who is really nice to look at but is more interested in moving his acting career to the next level than he is about Jane. And Michael is in between assignments at the moment, so he's back in New York and when he comes across Jane after all these years, he's thrown.
And this is where the story took off. It was interesting to read through both Michael and Jane's point of views. They were each wrapped up in their own lives and when their lives come together again, it was super sweet. The way that they came together was nice and Patterson did a great job of showing the confusion on both of their parts and then the acceptance, and then the love. Michael and Jane were so good together that I was rooting them on from the very beginning (from when they're thrown together again when Jane is in her thirties, not when she's nine). The way that their worlds collided and then the way that they worked through the obstacles that were put in their ways, it all made for a wonderfully sweet story that I really enjoyed.
The characters, the gritty realness of New York and the story all made for a great way to spend a few hours but even as sweet a story as it was, it was just a fluffy story that made me sigh and then I moved on to the next story. Still, it was good.

Acronis® Inc. (http://www.acronis.com), a provider of affordable, scalable storage management and disaster recovery software, released today the first backup and recovery software optimized for netbooks' screen size and unique hardware configuration. Acronis® True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition delivers the patented disk-imaging technology and bare metal restore technologies of the Acronis True Image family combined with an option for online backup.
Acronis True Image 2010 Netbook Edition is the latest addition to the award-winning Acronis True Image portfolio, following the release of Acronis True Image Home 2010. Acronis is strengthening its leadership by expanding its consumer offerings with solutions that meet specific needs and deliver best value for data protection and disaster recovery.
In a single product designed for the booming netbook market – market research firm DisplaySearch measured netbook sales growth at 40 percent from Q1 2009 to Q2 2009 – Acronis True Image 2010 Netbook Edition delivers the flexibility of where and how often to backup netbooks. From its intuitive graphical interface, users can back up their entire disk locally and to any attached device. One-Click Protection and powerful scheduler allow users to simply create and automate regular backups. Additionally, users can store their critical data online using the optional Acronis online service.
Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition, priced at $29.99 and available in English and German, can be downloaded at www.acronis.com. Available at major retailers, it comes on a memory stick because netbooks lack a CD drive.
"With the Netbook Edition, creating backups is a breeze," said Vlad Kuznetsov, of Menlo Park, Calif., a beta tester. "I am enthusiastic about the Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition. It combines Acronis' power and reliability neatly optimized for netbooks and allows for easy full-system restoration."
Acronis® True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition supports Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP Home and XP Professional operating systems. It requires a minimum screen resolution of 1024x600. The new software supports netbooks that use Intel's Atom 230, 330, N270, N280, Z500, Z510, Z520, Z530 and Z540 chips or the VIA C7-M chip.
"By delivering the first-ever netbook-optimized backup and recovery software, Acronis is continuing its pledge to develop industry-leading solutions," said Jason Donahue, CEO of Acronis. "The netbook market is growing rapidly and netbook users deserve the award-winning power of our disk-imaging technology."

Talk has heated up about whether Micahel Dyer was actually down on the play that essentially clinched a title Auburn, but it wasn't the only controversy in Monday's BCS championship. Though it seems to have affected both teams equally, the turf inside University of Phoenix Stadium caused both teams to slip and slide all over the field while trying to cut (unfortunately for Oregon, those hideous yellow socks didn't come with cleats with extra grip).
Stadium personnel re-sodded the natural surface a week before the game. The poor conditions were ironic, considering the field's turf is something of a calling card for the stadium. According to Turf Magazine (yes, Turf Magazine is a thing) the sod is grown outside and kept on an 18.9 million-pound tray that is rolled into the stadium about 48 hours before game time. This allows the field to have natural conditions, and keeps growers from having to deal with many problems that usually come with indoor turf.
Also ironic is that the turf for this game was actually grown in Oregon…by an Oregon State Beavers fan. Do we smell conspiracy?
Though both sides were affected, it doesn't really matter as Auburn came away with the victory. Tigers fans surely aren't too disappointed by the field conditions, and they can even buy squares of the sod taken from the Auburn end zone and "freeze-dried for permanent preservation" for $100 each. Sounds pretty expensive for something that appears to be low-quality in the first place.
But hey, at least it won't be slippery.

Wonder Woman turns 75!
Wonder Woman celebrated her 75th Anniversary October 21st with a great honor from the United Nations. She was named an Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Woman and Girls! As they say #YouGoGirl!
A number of UN staff members were not happy that a fictional character was given the honor. I get the point. There are so many real women who deserve the recognition and could be really effective in the role. I do think that Wonder Woman is an easily recognized icon and if the campaign can inspire women and girls around the world then there is no harm done. There should be real live, strong and inspiring women ambassadors named more frequently. Hopefully the Wonder Woman controversy will pave the way.
I am a huge Wonder Woman fan so I have been absolutely giddy about all of the new, fun Wonder Woman merchandise that has been hitting the shelves in celebration of this big anniversary. Needless to say my bank account has not been so happy.
Here are some of my favorites:
Dylan's Candy Bar in NYC has been taken over by Wonder Woman and I love all the merchandise. My wallet is in pain but hey this only happens once every 75 years right?
The Gap Kids is featuring a terrific Super Hero line from Junk Food right now.
I bought myself an XXL girls Wonder Woman sweatshirt and never looked back. Who am I kidding? I am totally going to run back to get the Batgirl version!
My stash also includes a Wonder Woman tote bag, and three note books which will come in handy if I ever decide to ruin the pages with ink! The Barbie is part of my collection. I live in a NYC apartment so I have to stop! No more Wonder Woman merchandise unless the 80th anniversary collection is just as fabulous!

Is there a mother on earth who hasn't run to the side of a wailing toddler with a growing egg on his forehead and wondered "OH NO, is this going to be our first visit to the ER?"
There are some comforting guidelines that can help you decide when it's safe to stay home with an icepack, and when you need to check it out, but rest assured that Mother Nature knows they're called toddlers for good reason. She made that frontal bone (the forehead) thicker and stronger than most other bones in the body.
- Did you see it happen? If so you have a good chance of knowing which body part landed on which immovable object. Less worry about hidden injuries, or problems you might be missing because the golf ball size bump on the head is getting your full attention.
- Did he cry immediately? Most kids this age will react as soon as they realize what's happened. This might take a few seconds, but not much longer. If you didn't witness the fall, and there was a sizable gap between the crash and the shriek, there's a possibility that he was knocked out, if only for a few moments. Loss of consciousness ALWAYS calls for medical attention. It's the dividing line most doctors use between 'small chance of worrisome injury' and 'we'd better take a closer look'.
- Which part of the head took the hit? Like I said, that frontal bone can take a lot. Most toddlers fall forward from a height of less than 3 1/2 feet. A knock like this may cause a bump that looks humongous to you, but it's unlikely to cause serious damage. You'll be surprised how fast it comes down with a bit of ice and lots of kisses. The side of the head, the temporal bone, isn't as tough, and a bonk against a hard object may call for a closer look.
- How is he acting? Did he calm within 5 or 10 minutes? After 20 minutes is he playful again? Willing to drink some juice or suck on a popsicle? Is his behavior normal — and I mean, normal for him? Here's where things you've heard might get confusing. You may get worried if an hour after the fall he starts to get cranky and tired, but if he fell at noon and it's now 1 PM and his usual nap time, that's normal for him. Not to worry.
- Is he vomiting? More than once? Lots of kids this age will get so upset, and cry so hard that they'll make themselves throw up. But if the vomiting continues that's a warning sign that something may be wrong. Let the ER doc decide. Inside info: the threshold for most physicians is 4 episodes of vomiting before they get worried, but let's get real. What mother is going to wait for that 4th time?
Bottom line? Most head bonks are just part of learning to navigate upright and those little noggins are designed to take a lot. But if you're worried and your gut tells you something's really wrong, high-tail it to medical attention.
And don't ever forget the magical healing powers of a band-aid. Whether they need it or not.
