under 3 weeks old (under 6 inches in length): In a small indoor cage with access to a heating pad or other form of heat (they are unable to generate their own body heat). Should not have access to water other than very shallow dish for drinking. A chick waterer is preferable and can be purchased online for under $1.00 at JeffersLivestock.com. This is very important, otherwise you may lose your ducklings to hypothermia or drowning. They are not water-proofed without their mother.
3-6 weeks old (between 6-9 inches in length): should be regulating their own body temperature; larger indoor or well protected outdoor cage. Introduce wading/baby pool once underbelly is fully-lined with feathers.
6-12 weeks old: house outdoors, safe, locked caging from predators (dogs, raccoons, etc). Use small gauge wire to wrap enclosure but never use chicken wire. Unlimited access to wading/baby pool to encourage "waterproofing"
12+ weeks: release; can fly and safely lift off water to escape snapping turtles. Is fearful of most humans and all pets. Has learned to seek out natural diet from soil and does not readily accept "handouts". Rate of survival is greatly increased by releasing groups of 2 or more juveniles together.
under 3 weeks old: primary diet should soley consist of Egg Maker Crumbles mixed 1:1 with water (unmedicated) available from the local Feed and Seed. Constant access to clean drinking water; "Chick Waterers" are ideal for this and cost $1-$3 at your local feed and seed. Can offer 10% dark greens and small insects. Anything else can lead to hypoglycemia (seizures from low blood sugar) or metabolic bone disease (not enough calcium, phosphorus, D3).
3-12 weeks old: In addition to earlier diet, allow "rooting" in yard and can also add Scratch Grains to diet (available from Feed and Seed or Food Lion).
The primary complaint in raising ducklings is mess and odor. The most efficient way to house ducklings indoors is in wire bottom cages so that spillage and droppings fall through to the newspapered tray below. Wrap a sheet or towel to cover all sides of the cage except the very front. This will prevent food from being flung everywhere while they "dabble'. Offer a toweled area in the cage where they can rest as a group and stay warm, but replace the towel frequently. Avoid using hay or straw for substrate; it encourages bacterial growth and heavy odors. Use diluted bleach to clean caging; primarily to neutralize odors.
Never raise a single duckling alone. Muscovies are domestic ducks and will imprint on humans, this includes sexual imprinting. Once mature, they will attempt to mate with humans (because they have been imprinted) following release. These ducks will be destroyed by Animal Control if complaints arise. Avoid this problem by raising at least two ducklings and allowing them to bond with one another instead of you (no matter how much they "peep" for attention). Handle them as little as possible and don't let them interact with your pets (otherwise they will think that all dogs and cats are friendly!). They will live longer after release if you raise them to understand that humans and pets are potential predators.
Do not release into an already over-populated area, otherwise local residents will "fix" the over-population problem themselves. Always take a fish net with you on releases in case a duck is not properly waterproofed and you need to rescue the drowning duck. Please keep in contact with us regarding the development of the ducklings, and do not hesitate to call if you have any questions or concerns.
After finding a suitable nesting spot, the female will return each day to lay an egg. After she has finished laying all the eggs (between 12-30), she will remain on the nest fulltime to begin incubation. This will take approximately 34 days. The ducklings will all hatch on the same day, and then she will lead them to the safety of water. She will repeat this cycle up to three/four times per year.
Humane Domestic Duck Management
The goal is to humanely keep populations in check so that acts of cruelty against domestic ducks are reduced. Many people don't like Muscovy ducks and feel they have a negative impact on wild duck populations. When they outnumber wild populations, incidents of cruelty increase.
During the laying period (before incubation), the eggs are still dormat and should be vigorously shaken to cause the internal structure to change. Each shaken egg should be dated with a crayon the day it is shaken and returned to the nest. It can also be coated with vegetable oil. If the eggs are not returned to the nest, the female will mate again and start a new one. Do not shake two of the eggs so that the female will have young to care for, instead of starting another nest once she realizes that the eggs won't hatch. Keep the unshaken eggs on top of or away from any oiled eggs. The shaken eggs can be safely discarded one week after the female leaves the nest with her new ducklings; or 45 days after incubation began. NEVER shake an incubated egg; it has begun development and rather than rendering the egg infertile it will result in a deformed duckling.
Note: This information refers to domestic ducks only! It is a violation of federal law to disturb the eggs, nests, or raise ducklings of all wild ducks without first obtaining the necessary permits.

Last year the RSPCA received over 130,000 animals into shelters and adoption centres across Australia.
And in the past 10 years the charity organisation has adopted out, reunited with their owners or released into the wild almost 800,000 animals.
To help raise money for their good, and often expensive, work the RSPCA is holding their Million Paws Walk.
And this year for the first time in six years, the Glen Innes branch will be participating.
"We've got a very strong group of volunteers," local volunteer Brigitte Burridge said.
But providing care for local pets in need doesn't come cheap.
"We cannot re-home any animals unless they're desexed, microchipped and fully vaccinated," she said.
"That is a requirement and that's probably where the bulk of our costs go.
"We do get a lot of people donating food but quite frequently we also end up buying stuff out of our own pockets."
Ms Burridge said around only 50 per cent of donations are covering the costs of the RSPCA's work in Glen Innes.
And there's no shortage of help needed.
"We have a lot of cats and dogs that are neglected," she said.
"Sally and Judy were involved in the last one."
Glen Innes RSPCA Branch volunteer Judy Fraser was looking forward to Sunday's walk and hoped it would raise vital funds for the local team.
"It's a major fundraising initiative for RSPCA right through Australia and the money that we will be raising goes directly towards Glen Innes for neglected, surrendered and medical help for our animals," she said.
The walk will kick off on Sunday May 21 at King George Oval.
Registration starts at 9am at $5 for dogs and $2 for humans – then an opening at 10am by the Deputy Mayor.
There will also be interaction games, races, face painting, a sausage sizzle, photos by Peter and Rebecca from TSG, competitions for best dressed dog, Celtic canine, owner look-alike, best groomed dog and a Doggone Gorgeous raffle worth $100.

By Dr. Alice Waagen
Founder and President
Workforce Learning
Can American companies, so many of which are run by numbers-driven graduates of MBA programs, make money — and have soul?
I have struggled with these questions for the 15 years that I have run my business. To date, the best answer I have come up with is a tentative "maybe."
Indeed, I have scoured scores of books and articles on the topic of how business leaders can bring strong values and ethics into the workplace. Unfortunately, most of them have been bromides that document short-term change, but fail to demonstrate a sustainable shift in the way the business is run.
So I am cheered not only by this month's Entrepreneur of the Month, Howard Schultz, and his book, "Onward," but I highly recommend a book about another values-based organization that has survived for decades and continues to flourish, Tom's of Maine.
Tom's Magical Formula
Founded in 1970 by Tom and Kate Chappell with just $5,000, products manufactured by the Kennebunk, Maine, firm are sold at more than 40,000 retail outlets worldwide.
Their global outreach began in 2006, when Tom's of Maine became a partially owned subsidiary of Colgate-Palmolive, which now owns 84 percent of the company. The Chappells, who own the remaining 16 percent, sold the majority of their firm for $100 million. The terms of the purchase stipulated that the policies and company culture of the Tom's of Maine brand — a crucial part of what makes the overall company so valuable — would be retained.
The reason is simple. Making money, while maintaining core values, is the key to success for the Chappells, as Tom explains in his 1994 book, The Soul of a Business: Managing for Profit and the Common Good.
In fact, he made a conscious choice — or should I say conscience choice? — to let his personal beliefs drive his business strategy.
That decision came soon after he began studying for his master's degree at Harvard Divinity School, and he had an epiphany: Numbers alone can't drive business decisions. He realized that decisions must be made within the context of a belief system, which he calls the "soul" of the business.
Of course, nonprofit organizations have always operated this way.
Key strategies are determined by how well they will further the mission of the organization — and then the financial implications are examined.
Traditional for-profit organizations invert this approach. And too often, they only consider cash-flow statements, and profit-and-loss reports.
Tom Chappell and his board chose a different path by basing each business decision on the company's statement of beliefs. For example, when customers complained about their deodorant, they immediately recalled the product and began researching the problem. That decision cost them a 30 percent loss in annual profits that year.
How applicable is this model to larger organizations, especially in these challenging economic times?
While I'd love to think otherwise, it seems difficult — if not impossible — for most corporations to make strategic decisions that support their core values at the cost of lower profits.
I do think that the entire nation would benefit if more leaders had the courage to see the long-term gain of a values-based decision over short-term profitability. I see the Tom's of Maine story as one model of how to extract ourselves from the false belief that short-term thinking is the way to run a business.
In fact, reading "The Soul of a Business," reinforces the fact that numbers alone will not produce sustainability. It is his belief in something greater than market share and sales that has kept his business successful for more than four decades. Here's to more of us taking a page from Tom's playbook.
More About Tom Chappell
Like the company he pilots, Tom Chappell has received many awards, including the "New Englander Award" sponsored by the Small Business Association of New England, and CNHB named him the 1991 "Entrepreneur of the Year," and the Entrepreneur of the Year Institute named him 1995 "Socially Responsible New England Entrepreneur of the Year."
Tom's of Maine has been named one of the "100 Best Companies in the U.S. for Working Mothers" by Working Mother magazine and one of the "Top 10 Healthiest Companies" by Health magazine. Tom's of Maine has received the prestigious "Corporate Conscience Award for Charitable Contributions" from the Council on Economic Priorities.
Tom Chappell is active in many cultural and philanthropic organizations, among them: the Dean's Council for Harvard Divinity School, the Advisory Council for the Center for the Study of Values in Public Life at Harvard Divinity School, the Board of Fellows for Harvard's School of Dental Medicine, The Nature Conservancy of Maine, and the Washington National Cathedral National Advisory Group. In 2000, Tom Chappell was appointed by President Clinton to the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy.
A graduate of Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, with a BA in English, Tom Chappell earned a master's in Theology at Harvard Divinity School. He is active in the Episcopal Church of Maine and was a member of the Environmental Stewardship Team of the national Episcopal Church.

What's your superpower? Wait, you don't have one…..I bet you do. I bet there is something that you can do that eludes most of us. I'm not going to suggest that you have a superpower that is yours alone. I'm sure there is some overlap of powers out there. So I just want you to take a minute and pat yourself on the back for whatever that thing is that you do better than most.
I think we spend so much time comparing ourselves to the flawless pictures on social media. It's easy to get sucked into that black hole of beauty and expectation that surrounds us all in our daily lives. Far too easy to feel bad for not measuring up. We do it to ourselves and our children soak it in like little sponges. As a parent I try to tame my crazy critical self around my kids so they don't take on my personal quirks and anxieties. Yes I purposely censor my inner critic and try to keep my own brand of crazy tucked in. It doesn't always work. They're on to me and I suspect they know I would like to lose twenty pounds though I have never said it aloud in front of them. I try to put the focus on the fact that I work out consistently, 3 to 4 times a week. I place emphasis on the fact that I am strong and healthy. I won't even get into my inner turmoil over aging naturally or fighting it with modern science…..I debate this one on a regular basis and I'm still undecided.
But back to the superpower…..my superpower is my willingness to go outside of my comfort zone. I will offer help in situations that I have no idea how to handle. I am secure enough to admit when something is too far beyond my comfort zone and I will ask for help or admit my short coming. I do this as a volunteer and as a business owner. I know it's a little shocking for someone to admit when they are in over their head but I'm here to tell you it is OK.
I have a small business (super tiny – one woman show small). I basically provide help to people (and their pets). It's a simple business which genuinely strives to help people. I started it a couple of years ago when I found it daunting to try and get back into the working world. I had been a SAHM for over a decade and I really needed to work again. It's just a tad hard to get a job after 10 years out of a career during a dismal job market. So I took some time and thought about what I wanted to do. I decided that I wanted to work part time and model humility and a work ethic to my children and I have done that.
Right now my primary client is an 88 year old woman with dementia and mobility issues. I check in on her every day for a couple of hours and make sure she is safe and comfortable. She lives with her daughter who works full time. There have been times when I have walked into a literal shit storm. One day this week my sweet client was trying to wash out her poop filled Depends in the bathroom sink. She was extremely distraught when I got there and my first priority was to get her away from the poop to avoid further contamination and get her clean and comfortable. She was so upset that she was crying and apologizing to me. I remained calm, kept eye contact with her and told her that is was OK and that is wasn't her fault. I got her settled and cleaned the mess. The one advantage of dementia is that you forget stuff. Within an hour my sweet lady forgot about this horrid incident and we went on with our day.
Another challenge I had this week involved a hospice visit. I have been a hospice volunteer since 2008 and this new patient will be one of my toughest. The patient is 47 (my age) and has several adult children and an 11 year old son (same age as one of my kids). I dreaded our visit this week. I have lost friends this age to cancer, this one was hitting me close to home. I shed tears before I even met her. To top it off she wanted me to paint her toe nails which is something I generally suck at. But I showed up and offered to do it anyway and her toes looked pretty when I left. I soaked her feet and filed her nails. I rubbed lotion on her feet and we chatted like old friends. I left our visit uplifted which is the weird thing about hospice. It is incredibly rewarding in it's own mystical way. I don't question it. I just bring my willingness to go outside my comfort zone, my superpower. Tell me what is your superpower?

The China Battery manufacture is definitely commonly known in other circles like a storage battery and in the structure of this battery is actually a couple of secondary cells, meaning these batteries can reach their full kinetic and electrical potential with the application of electrical power to recharge it. Within the words from the scientist, the electromagnetic and electrochemical reaction which is released within the battery is completely reversible, so it can be mentioned that the battery is a sort of an accumulator in a way.
There are many and varying chemical make ups of such cells along with the materials used can be different and may range from lead, sulphuric acid, alkaline, nickel cadmium, nickel hydrogen and lithium obviously – being the latest family member to outperform anything else before that. The advantages of rechargeable batteries are certainly one and a lot of in the sense they give an obvious environmental advantage to the atmosphere. With rechargeable batteries, less of them gets disposed of as well as materials used can be extremely toxic towards the environment inside the sense that disposal can be quite disposable. Also, there are numerous economic benefits inside the sense the cost to dump them properly and without any harm to the environment can be extremely high and exploring the former reason, those two are intrinsically tied and corporations sometimes seek out cheaper and a lot more dangerous ways to get rid of these batteries.
A number of these Rechargeable Li-Polymer battery use a service like of more than 3, 000 charge cycles – in order to see the amount savings a person person can certainly make on their own simply by buying these and nor purchasing normal alkaline and stand alone primary cells to use using their gadgets. The applications for such batteries are plenty and they also include automobile starters, consumer devices, even some light vehicles powered by large batteries, handphones, music players and dexhpky45 cameras. These are among the products which are being used in conjunction with rechargeable batteries. Grid energy storage, a fresh technology in many applications actually are using rechargeable batteries for 'load leveling', where they store a lot of the days electric energy for use when and throughout peak load periods, where energy demands are definitely the greatest and also for renewable energy uses, for example the act of storing power generated from photovoltaic arrays throughout the day to be utilized once the sun drops at night.
By charging batteries in the latent periods of low demand and giving back this energy on the grid at large volumes during periods of high electrical need , load-leveling is a technique that helps to eliminate the requirement for costly peaking power plants so it helps amortise value of generators over more and extended hours of operation. These are some of the technical aspects and the uses of Irobot Vacuum battery, and as you have seen, they far out get to the normal applications and go into the arena of industrial and scientific levels.


text: My assistant just told me that she will be out an additional month and a week! She's had the surgery to her shoulder on July 26th and has been doing physical therapy since 3x/week! She had some arthritis removed and a repair to her shoulder cuff thing. We've had two other people in the office who have had the same surgery and one was out for less than a week and the other for almost two weeks. WTH is her problem? Could this be REAL? That's a total time of 12 weeks recovery? Her history is that she has an extremely low tolerance for pain and every little thing bugs her. She's getting diability from the one we carry and a supplemental plan she carries through the company so I know she is getting within a few dollars of her normal salary. When we talk on the phone - to check in - she's always chipper and sounds great (I would be too if I had almost 3 months off, even with surgery, in the summertime!). I'm so annoyed but of course, I can't say anything. Argh!!!!!!

In Memory
"If there's something you've been meaning to do for a while, start planning to get it done. If there's something you don't want to do – find an honorable way to stop doing it. If someone needs something and you like them and you can more than afford it (and they're not a needy do-nothing)… give it to them. And for gods' sake – don't forget to tell people how much you value them before they keel over and die. Funerals are not a particularly useful time to tell someone how much they meant to you. I notice most people's fears about death have more to do with regrets than anything else." ~Dave Grega of PCP
"It's hard to know what to say when a friend passes, let alone where to start. I remember the first time I met Dave it was way back when he had a pagan group at Clarion Campus in Pennsylvania. Even then, Dave was someone who was beyond outspoken.I could talk about how kind a person Dave was, but what comes to mind is all the debating that our friendship entailed. Dave Grega was not afraid to tell you what he thought. He didn't feel that holding observations back when they had the possibility of stirring positive change. It didn't matter if he was talking to a "Big Name Pagan", a friend, or a random guest on the podcast, he would speak his mind. He wasn't afraid to question or push for change on taboo and complex issues and he encouraged others to do the same.
Life won't be the same without post-producing his laugh to be a reasonable volume, or hearing his snarky disapproval when I was being stubborn in making a hard decision. But if I can pull anything positive out of this tragedy, is that Dave was able to pass at a time in his life where he had found happiness. He had a loving relationship with a brand new baby girl to bring light into his life. He lived his life to the fullest, and with little regret. He pushed hard to meet standards that he put himself up to without asking for acceptance or permission. He was one of the bravest people I know, I feel honored to have had him in my life as a dear friend. Not only for the times where we were able to laugh and joke, but for the all the times that he cared enough to tell me when he disagreed and pushed me past my comfort levels to become more of the person I am today…as I am sure he has done for countless others.
Dave Grega, you will be deeply missed my friend. I don't think I can find the words to properly express the loss that we feel, but know that we'll remember you always." ~Amber of PCP
He could be judgemental, don't get me wrong, but he let people disagree with him. We were able to have a conglomeration of so many people of so many different paths, it was a huge accomplishment. This is the closest I have to family, and it's as if we lost our patriarch. Dave helped to foster a sense of ACTUAL community.~Sam of PCP
"I never really met Dave, but with the podcast I almost feel like we were best buddies. I've had him on my show, he even inspired me to have my own show. His brutal honesty, his ability to make people realize their shortcomings as well as his own is inspiring. He had the greatest laught of out the people I've met. He won't soon be forgotten, that's for sure."~Robby J Bradbury
"One of the things about the show, is that it was so refreshing because it was so different compared to some of the other shows. It was the attitude. Dave and PCP wasn't afraid to point out some of the flaws in the kind of thinking where we should coddle everyone to keep them happy."~Nicholas Farrell
"I didn't personally know David, but he helped me a lot with the podcast. When I would worry that I wasn't being kind enough, or nice enough. But listening to him let me know that it was okay to get angry at things sometimes. I didn't have to be all happiness and rainbows."~Janetta
"I think the thing that jumps out the most is my first impression of the podcast. I was trying not to die of hysterical laughter in the middle of class because I came in on the 4Chan episode. His indomitable sense of humor in everything really stuck with me. It's not going to be the same with out him. He made everyone feel comfortable, it is something that will be deeply missed."~Mystere de la Nuit
"I didn't know Dave Grega well at all, aside from reputation, and hearing about him from mutual friends. When I found out I was going to meet him at supper with some of said friends, I will admit to being a little apprehensive. I am a very devoted Christian, and I was aware that he was a likewise devoted Pagan, and I worried that this laid fertile ground for conflict. I needn't have though, for as soon as he found out I was a Christian, Dave began to express some very intelligent and well-thought-out ideas he had about struggles that both Pagan and Christian communities have, and potential ways to solve them. I enjoyed good conversation over that meal, and walked away feeling quite glad that I had met Dave, touched by his honesty in speaking about the common struggles that span across many different worldviews and faiths."~Levi D.
"This was the first podcast I ever got involved with. I didn't realize until I was on others, that you guys and Dave are rule-breakers as far as podcasting goes. Dave encouraged people to not take things too seriously, and to know that nothing is so sacred that it can't be poked fun at."~Miles Batty
"In addition to co-founding PCP, an irreverent podcast that garnered a large and appreciative audience for its no-holds-barred style, Dave also helped in the running and development of the Proud Pagan Podcasters, was an important early voice in the formation of the Pagan Newswire Collective, and co-founded Lonestar Pagan, the Texas bureau of the PNC. Dave was a key figure in Pagan new media, constantly tinkering, trying out new ideas and technologies in order to more effectively do the work at hand. He had a personality and energy that was almost impossible to ignore, and we are all poorer for his absence."~Jason Pitzl-Waters

A bit further along the South Coast from Colac bay is Cosy Nook. Again my first instinct drew me to the waters edge.
More waves, more clouds, more patterns……
Perhaps when you see something once it becomes part of your own perspective on the world and you simple see the same thing again and again. Or perhaps there is more to it than that…..
On the "great southern road trip" I found myself drawn the waters edge time and time again. But when I look back into my files at older work this is not a new thing. There are lots of "edge of the water" pictures.
I wonder why??
Time to concentrate on making more and find out ….

Engineering is Fun – Khwelling.nl
A mechanical engineer with a never ending hunger to explore the mechatronic domain. Starting with gw-basic, the enthusiasm for programming never stopped, while writing a 3D environment from scratch (VB6) or programming a real-time controller for his CNC milling machine.
This CNC machine is very handy for other projects, like building a Stirling engine. The latest project is still running: 3D printing, using resin and a DLP beamer. Exploring and building different ways, getting the best 3D prints possible. Reading a lot of interesting websites, created by enthusiast people all around the globe, I like to give something back. That's why I like the share my findings and enthusiasm on www.khwelling.nl.

no. i either think ell get a long or i dont. if i think we won't i dont get involved. anyhow everyone gets hurt. relationships just give you a chance to see how you can work through getting hurt and become more resilient to it in fixture,. but its unavoidable because everyone is different and has different sensibilities. no one person can avoid hurt or hurting. they can only endeavor to not do it intentionally, and to learn from it when it happens.
but if i think in advance ill hurt someone I'm not going to get involved. thats silly.10|10|0
good point but sometimes its not all that simple

Yup! Most soul-suckers are pretty easy to spot - assuming you talk to them for a few minutes or so! Plus, I'm naturally attracted to the ONE chick in the room that is, by any and all measures, the absolute worst girl that I could possibly hook up with. And yeah, I usually figure it out pretty quickly these days, but that rarely stops me!
If I had (or rather used) half of a brain, I'd seek out the one that I had absolutely no interest in or chemistry with, then just grab her and run without thinking about it! :) Yeah, that happens a LOT!10|10|0

Coronary Stents Market studies Research Report By 2019
A coronary stent is a tubular structured device made of a thin mesh of wire, which may also be coated with a polymer containing a drug, or made of biodegradable materials. Coronary stents are utilized during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) for the treatment of patients suffering from various coronary artery diseases (CADs) such as acute myocardial infarction, angina pectoris and others. At present, several researches are being conducted in the field of coronary stenting, in order to minimize side effects such as restenosis and thrombosis. Certain new and advanced coronary stents such as bio-absorbable stents have been commercialized in the global market, which demonstrate very less or no common side effects of coronary stenting.
Request a Sample Copy of the Report @ http://www.mrrse.com/sample/1170
The market for coronary stents can be broadly classified into three major segments, namely, bare metal stents (BMS), drug eluting stents (DES) and bio-absorbable stents. In 2011, the drug eluting stents segment held the largest share of the global coronary stents market, followed by the bare metal stents market. During the forecast period 2013 to 2019, the demand for bare metal stents is expected to be low and its overall growth will be offset by the increasing demand for other stent variants, mainly bio-absorbable stents. The bio-absorbable stents market has been predicted to be the fastest growing segment during the forecast period.
Inquiry on this report @ http://www.mrrse.com/sample/1170
Some of the major factors that will be responsible for the growth of global coronary stents market during the forecast period include increasing prevalence of various coronary artery diseases, rising demand for new and advanced coronary stents, aging population and increasing obesity rates. According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, around 17.3 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2008 and it is expected that each year more than 23.3 million people will die due to cardiovascular diseases; this trend is predicted to continue till 2030. Among cardiovascular diseases, CADs are responsible for the highest number of deaths worldwide. However, according to the CDC, U.S., the number of deaths due to CADs has started decreasing due to increase in the number of PCIs being performed by using a range of coronary stents available in the global market.
North America holds the largest share in the global coronary stents market in terms of revenue. The key factor responsible for the dominance of this region in the global coronary stents market was that the top players of this market are domiciled in the U.S., where they introduce their product and gain early-bird advantage in the market. Europe is the second largest market for coronary stents, followed by Asia-Pacific. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the fastest growing regional market for coronary stents. The market growth in this region will be majorly attributed to the increasing incidences of various CADs, high unmet needs of the patient pool, increasing awareness as well as affordability of the patient population of this region and increasing penetration by U.S. and Europe-based coronary stent manufacturers.

Abbott Laboratories, Inc., Boston Scientific Corporation, Medtronic, Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Terumo Corporation, B. Braun Melsungen AG, C. R. Bard, Inc., Biotronik SE & Co. KG, amg International GmbH, Cook Medical, Inc., Stentys SA and MicroPort Scientific Corporation are the major companies engaged in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of various types of coronary stents. These players are in constant competition with each other in order to gain a competitive edge over others by introducing new materials or methods into their existing coronary stent products.

Whitby Harbour - Credit: Chris Robertshaw
The correspondent is probably referring to the rocks due east of the Whitby piers. According to visitmyharbour.com:
Most directions of approach are clear of danger and straightforward... the exception to this is from the East. When approaching from that direction a good offing is necessary to clear Whitby Rock and a shoal patch that extends outwards from the Abbey Cliffs just to the east of the harbour entrance.

I have been with my boyfriend for about two years and things are really great. We've been best friends forever and now as a couple things are nearly perfect. He doesn't have too many friends and he only has one girl friend. They've been texting more lately which I really don't have a problem with because I want him to have friends but he asked her to hang out, like the two of them. I was kind of taken back by it, am I wrong to be freaked out by the two of them hanging out? I wouldn't mind if I went or if it was a group of people but I don't want him to go with just her and when I confronted him about it, he didn't understand why I was upset. Am I allowed to be upset?
Am I wrong to be freaked out by the two of them hanging out?

I can understand your feelings to a point. (If the girl is flirtatious, overly friendly, or if I knew she was interested in him, I know that would bother me a little too.) But in the end it has to come down to your relationship with your guy, how well the two of you get along, how much you trust him, and understanding the reason why the idea of this hang out bothers you. Like you said, he needs friends. Some of them will happen to be girls. It sounds like you're concerned with the fact that they will be all alone. Just the two of them. When usually, when he's alone with a girl, that girl is you. But I don't think you have anything to worry about. It seems like he just wants to catch up with a friend.
Try turning this situation around... what if you had a good guy friend, and you wanted to hang out with him because you haven't seen him in a while... but your boyfriend gets upset by the idea. Wouldn't you get a little confused too? You weren't setting up a date, you don't have romantic feelings for this friend, and yet your boyfriend is upset.
As for your question... no one can forbid you from becoming upset. It's not like you can control those sorts of emotions. (In fact, it just goes to show just how much you care for your guy and don't like the idea of losing him.) But you do have to understand your feelings, and understand what aspect of the situation is making you upset and why. The more you understand your feelings, you'll have an easier time explaining them to your boyfriend, and you'll be able to judge if the feelings are irrational or not.00|00|0
Thank you so much. The thing is though, when I mention that I might hang out with a guy he does get upset so I thought this situation would never even come up, he doesn't seem like the double standard type of guy...but I guess that's just all people haha.
YES! it is perfectly okay to be upset, I mean I totally would. He's YOUR boyfriend. Try to confront him again on how you don't like it when he hangs with other girls other than yourself. See the thing is though, do you trust him? If you trust him things should be fine when he's with that girl. However, does it seem like he doesn't want you to come along? If so, he may be interested in her00|00|0
I couldn't tell whether or not he had a problem with me coming along. When I brought it up he just looked confused about why I was upset and then apologized and said he wouldn't hang out with her alone. Butttt since he couldn't really understand why I was upset I felt like it wasn't exactly a sincere apology and I'm afraid he might hang out with her anyway...
Well if he goes against your wishes...maybe he isn't worth it. If he doesn't try to "hear you out" then it may be time to move on :/ It is going to be REALLY REALLY hard since you guys have been together for so long. Maybe consider asking her(the girl he's constantly texting) how she feels about him. Remind her that YOU are his girlfriend

text: So I went to the Waikele outlet today... I went to pick up my watermelon charm and the M charm. I also wanted to see if they had the white leather Ali because I thought it looked sooooooo nice in all those pictures of that Heroes girl!! It looked like a great size and the white was awesome!! When I got to the outlet every single white leather Ali was either scratched up or dirty, even the ones from the back. As much as I wanted one, I opted not to because I know it'd bug me to death carrying even a slightly dirty bag. Then I saw a black signature Ali and thought it was really nice, but I just recently bought a black signature bag... I spent a good hour contemplating getting it. So in the end, I bought the black signature Ali and am going to think about it for the next week or so. I also bought a J charm for myself (for my bf's name) and the A charm and two other M's for my friends. So here they are below... I'm sure since everyone seems to be enablers here the answer to this question will be "yes"... *lol* But should I keep this Ali? Does anyone else have a white leather Ali and have problems keeping it clean? I guess I just wanted the white one sooooo bad that my judgment is a little cloudy right now.

Internet marketing services a boon to Business
Internet marketing services involve manifold activities like designing and developing a website and promoting it in the search engines. The industry is growing by leaps and bounds due to following reasons:
Finding customers: In the initial promotional stage of the website, it is virtually impossible for the website to gain business. The marketing tactics are adopted based upon the services offered and products available in the form of interesting content available on landing and other pages of the website.
Targeted customer base: Internet marketing services are right means to attract targeted audience who are interested in products and services offered. There is no need to hunt for targeted customers as they are aware of your presence online and will refer to you when the need for those specific products or services arises.
Manage business growth: the need for more work arises when business starts growing online. You have to put-up more efforts to stay connected with the existing customers and maintain a platform to attract new customers. These are rendered through proper services from experts and effective content creation.
Reasonable cost: The cost of services is very reasonable as compared to the cost of marketing in physical market. There are distributors and other barriers between the business and the end user which bar the entry of customers to reach to right product effectively. The cost of Internet marketing is much lower comparatively and there are no middlemen between the business and the customer.
Skilled marketing: Internet marketing services are based upon the skill-set of the experts. Effective and efficient marketing techniques regularly will result in good returns on investment.
Returns on investment are higher in case the internet marketing services are performed productively and judiciously. Starting from the conception of idea to designing of website, its effective development, and content creation, websites are given detailed attention. The marketing procedure involves e-mail marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), pay per click advertising (PPC), and so much more. These activities are performed by expert SEO team under the strong supervision of SEO team lead and managed by Project Manager. The whole process is time taking and needs extra expertise to reach to the desired position in search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. Pay per click ad management plays a crucial role in promoting the websites through proper selection and promotion of right keywords and giving just right importance amongst targeted visitors.
Internet marketing is a full-fledged industry nowadays and works to promote business enterprise online for good return on investments.

Staff, visitors and patients at Hawke's Bay Hospital can now use free WiFi following a rollout from Spark Digital.
The hospital WiFi service is the same product provided in the Spark phone boxes, and is accessible from all of the Hawke's Bay Hospital buildings with Spark Digital also providing phone systems, mobile and IT services for Hawke's Bay District Health Board.
At present, there are now 19 Spark WiFi hotspots across Hawke's Bay, using an average of 10TB of data per month.
Spark Digital Client Manager Leisa Epplett says the early user response has pleased the District Health Board.
"A lack of convenient, cost-effective WiFi within health services is a constant bug bear for people attempting to use the internet," Epplett says.
"For security reasons, the DHB's private WiFi network is highly protected. It does not allow staff to access the wider internet for their own personal use, nor does it allow patient or visitor access.
"Being in hospital is often an anxious time. Giving patients, family members and friends a simple way to stay connected is a benefit for everyone.
"Now, if a patient wants to Skype friends or an orderly check Facebook on their tea break, this new service makes it's as simple as connecting to WiFi."
The hospital's Chief Medical Officer John Gommans believes being able to keep in touch with family and friends and what was going on in the world through news sites, Skype and email will help patients from feeling isolated while they are in hospital.
"Hospital can be overwhelming for some people, especially those who have long recovery times - being able to "keep in touch" will make a big difference to those patients," Dr Gommans adds.
Spark New Zealand has been rolling out its WiFi service across New Zealand since 2012 with over 1000 WiFi zones now operating throughout the country.

Heart attack or also known as myocardinal infarction, is sudden death of hearth muscle due to blood clots in the coronary arteries. The task of the heart to pump 4-5 liters blood throughout the body becomes not smooth if the heart muscle is damaged.
