Buying a used hybrid is a popular option for car buyers, and this option is growing more popular each year. CBS Money Watch sums it up this way, "Buying a used hybrid avoids the new-car hybrid premium that can take many years to recoup in gas savings. And yet you still get the environmental benefits – both high gas mileage and low emissions of climate-affecting greenhouse gases and other pollutants."
It's hard to justify paying $8,000 to $20,000 extra for a new hybrid when there are more than 400,000 used models on the market these days, according to Edmunds.com. But how do you know when you've found the used hybrid that's right for you?
For some people, no hybrid is the right hybrid. These cars sell at higher prices, drive differently and require different upkeep from regular vehicles, and, for some people, that's a deal breaker. If you are looking at hybrids because you value living green and keeping your carbon emissions low, a hybrid might not be the best way to accomplish your goals. How Stuff Works blogger Patrick E. George notes that hybrids still run partially on gasoline, plus the lithium or NiMH battery packs that power hybrid cars create an entirely separate carbon footprint. George writes, "The batteries inside hybrid cars depend on materials like lithium and cobalt. Mining for those minerals is an extremely destructive process, and one that has left entire mountains leveled in their wake." George recommends a small, used diesel car as a viable option for those who wish to make the tiniest environmental impact possible.
Depending on how you drive, however, a hybrid might make a smaller dent in global carbon emissions than any other option. Most hybrids feature an electrical drive that shifts from electric power to gasoline around the speed of 30 mph. They also feature an automatic shutoff and startup feature for stop and go traffic, which further saves on fuel. So if you do most of your driving within city limits at low speeds, your car will only need to burn enough gasoline to keep the battery pack charged and to bring you up to higher speeds when necessary.

One of the biggest challenges my clients face is predicting their legal expenses and outcomes so they can avoid going blindly into the night and hoping things work out. They want to get their hands around what the budget will be, what the likely outcome will be and the potential upsides and the downsides of their matters. They also want an analysis of the most business-prudent course while making sure they're not letting go of their rights. When I get hired, my clients have already developed a trust in me because we've discussed their situation, and they know that I understand their goals as well as they do.
Jason Gaskill handles commercial and complex litigation and class action cases, as well as matters involving construction, intellectual property and technology and pharmaceutical and medical devices issues. He represents clients in both state and federal courts throughout Florida and counsels companies and individuals in a variety of commercial disputes. They include enforcement and defense of restrictive covenant violations, construction defects, contract disputes, trade secrets, title insurance defense, insurance coverage defense, real property disputes and business torts.
With undergraduate degrees in biology and chemistry, Jason finds that his background in science helps immensely in communicating within the biotech industry. Because these clients typically don't have the time to explain complex scientific concepts, issues and processes, it's imperative for them to hire someone who already "speaks their language" and can immediately grasp the specifics of their legal issues as Jason does.
Employing a practical and outcomes-driven strategy, Jason prefers to plot a course that accomplishes the clients' objectives as expediently and efficiently as possible, rather than methodically plodding through each potentially trivial issue. He doesn't take it personally when clients are happy to be done dealing with him – because that means their problem or dispute has been resolved. But he stays in touch, and they know he's always there for them.
Jason serves in a number of leadership positions. He is the business chair of Sarasota-Bradenton Chapter of BioFlorida, a statewide trade association for innovation in the bioscience industry. He graduated from Leadership Sarasota, a program developed to encourage continuing stewardship and oversight of the Sarasota County community. He has also holds a number of leadership roles in the Sarasota County Bar Association.
" I am always conscious of my clients' end-result needs and assist them in obtaining alternative resolutions where appropriate. "

Canadians often pride themselves on their toughness. We can handle cold winters, hot summers and the occasional body check during a game of hockey. That doesn't mean we don't get emotional and even shed a tear or two when necessary. In fact, Canadian babies may actually shed more tears than babies anywhere else in the world.
Researchers at the University of Warwick looked at the data from 28 studies to uncover what instigates colic (severe abdominal pain often caused by gas) in babies and which countries have the highest rates of it. The study, published in the Journal of Pediatrics, found that Canadian babies have some of the highest colic rates in the world, with 34 per cent of our tiny tots suffering from it. But it isn't all bad news for exhausted parents: colic rates for Canadian babies tend to drop sharply after this time period.
According to the study, while four-week-old Canadian babies cry an average of 150 minutes per day, babies in other countries only cry an average of 118 minutes a day. Colic also hits babies in most countries around the five to six week mark, but Canadian infants suffer from colic the most between three and four weeks of age.
Canada isn't alone in its high rate of criers, though. In the U.K., 28 per cent of babies had colic in their first two weeks out of the womb, while 21 per cent of Italian babies eight to nine-weeks-old also suffered from it.
Denmark, however, boasts the lowest crying time for babies, with only six per cent of babies aged three to four weeks suffering from colic.
The data collected was based on diary entries from parents, with researchers noting that differences in crying patterns between countries could be influenced by cultural norms towards child rearing and the diligence of parents when recording crying entries.
"In Canada, babies cried on average for 30 minutes more, so 2 1/2 hours a day," Dieter Wolke, the study's lead author told CTV News.
As for differences in crying time between countries, Wolke said that the causes behind the discrepancies were unclear. "We can only speculate on the reasons why there are country differences, in particular between Denmark and the rest of Europe and North America." The study was also unable to pinpoint what causes colic in babies.
Parents can hopefully take some solace in the group's findings, which indicated that the amount a baby cried was not a reflection of how well it was cared for. Around the world, 40 per cent of crying in an infant's first few months is completely inconsolable.
"I think an important takeaway is that we always look to the parents… that they are doing something wrong. Our findings don't suggest that," Wolke said.
So if you have a colicky baby, it really isn't your fault — it's probably Canada's.

Im still having no luck with my ebook. one friend can download it from her email, but when trying to open it the computer wont let it open, and says the file is corrupt. Another friend is using hotmail and when I send her the file, hotmail deletes it so that she cant do anything with it anyway.
If anyone knows whats happening here I would greatly accept some help with it, Im almost at my wits end with the whole thing,
Someone must know how to help
Sending large files via email is never very reliable because of how many email systems and servers are setup.
If the ebook works before you put it into email, and stops working when it arrives, it must be something of this type.
Why not put a copy of the ebook on a web site, to download, and send the customer the URL to download from.
I have tried your suggestion, and thats not working either. The file downloads fine and when opened we are getting the error message that says the file isnt a win32.
I have also compiled the book on a different computer, but to no avail (still the same outcome). Any more ideas?
If yes, then the problem must be related to email and/or transfering to/from your site.
For going via your site, check1. Check the size of the download matches the original2. Check you uploaded the ebook EXE with FTP set to BINARY mode.
I have tried to download from my webspace and this doesnt help, it still doesnt work. I dont have alot of time now to sort this out as I have started a new job.
I would love to get this book up and running, but I really dont know how Any help would be great
If your ebook is uploaded, give me the link and I'll see if I can download it, or if I get errors, etc.
Can you post us a link to your download?

The last few technology conferences I have attended have been filled with talk about "tech lash." People feel trapped by the tech companies that hoard your personal information and are tight-lipped about how they use it. At the same time, it's hard to distance yourself from those companies and still function online. But is the privacy solution hiding in plain sight?
The issue is that we don't always know what specific information is being collected or how it is being sold, tagged, profiled and used. However, a small number of companies — Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon, plus Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent — house a huge percentage of the information on the internet. That's a dangerous thing.
Right now, there is no perfect privacy solution for the internet. At least not yet. There are pockets of privacy protections, such as encryption, adblockers and cryptocurrency. The problem is, they are all hackable and gameable. For example, some ad blockers reportedly allow cookies from companies that pay them enough. Cryptocurrency transactions aren't encrypted, and if they were, encrypted data has a mathematical link to identifiable information if hacked.
Bitcoin And Other Suggested Solutions
Bitcoin has been championed as an option for securing financial transactions on the web. With Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, there is no mapping between users' cryptographic key pairs and their real-world identities. However, there are many ways to de-anonymize transactions. In addition, the data is often unencrypted during the transfer over the internet and can be hacked or intercepted. Bitcoin is neither completely transparent nor completely anonymous, so its privacy capabilities are not guaranteed.
Bitcoin was built on the blockchain. Blockchain is a public database that holds transactional information in blocks, which decentralizes the data. Those blocks are secured through cryptography. That is where the privacy solution comes in — decentralizing and encrypting the data. However, as with Bitcoin, data in transit is not encrypted. Moreover, a stolen key to the block can unlock it and once it's unlocked, the transaction history of the user(s) would be viewable. And like Bitcoin, pattern recognition can reveal a person's identity.
Another use case of blockchain technology that has quite the buzz is Dock.io. Dock.io creates a decentralized data set of your personal details, such as employment history and verifies that data. Then, the user can control what data is on the internet about them and who has access to it. That level of control helps with privacy and reputation management. Because it is built on the blockchain, it has the same risks as Bitcoin.
Another technology that has been discussed for years is federated data systems. Federated systems first came into play over a decade ago with the Liberty Alliance Project, which was a standards body trying to create protocols for sharing information across various organizations. The problem with federated systems is there is no financial incentive for businesses to adopt this practice.
So, what should you do about all this? Give your input to the Privacy Manifesto if you have opinions or ideas. Don't willingly hand over your data to these companies. Mind your data like you would mind your cash. It's valuable. If it weren't, they wouldn't want it so badly. Protect your data wherever you can. Use security products like Symantec to stop websites from placing trackers on you. Use Qwant and DuckDuckGo and Brave to keep your search and browsing practices private. Use an encrypted chat, social media and collaboration platforms where you can go to stay private.

Wichita, KS-based Legend Senior Living is supporting college students in Kansas who are interested in health-related issues affecting older adults through a $75,000 donation that created the Legend Fellows Program at Wichita State University, according to an article a university foundation publication.
This year, the program is supporting a doctoral student in the School of Nursing as well as an aging studies student in the Department of Public Health Sciences, both of which are part the College of Health Professions. Other departments within the college may be included in the future.
"If you want to participate in this field, you'll have the wind at your back for job opportunities," Tim Buchanan, founder and CEO of Legend Senior Living, said in the "Horizon Now" article. "We hope to show WSU students how the knowledge they're acquiring can be applied to the field of senior living."
The students will be expected to work on projects that address some of the challenges facing the senior living industry, such as ways to enhance the lives of senior adults, strategies for reducing hospital admissions and ways for healthcare workers to avoid job burnout.
In the photo above: Dan Loon, a Wichita State University alumnus who is vice president of advancement and education at Legend Senior Living, gives student Ashley Schalk a tour of Legend's Regent Park Rehabilitation and Healthcare, part of the Regent Park continuing care retirement / life plan community.

Watch | Reindeers for pizza delivery?
Nov 29, 2016 15:42 IST
about the video
In preparation for the Christmas season, Domino's Pizza in Japan started testing the ability of reindeers to deliver pizzas to residents. People in northern Japan's Hokkaido, well known for its blistering year-end cold, may see Rudolph delivering pizzas, as regular bike deliveries become impossible. If the training works, the animals' location will be traceable on a smartphone app with the location marker as a reindeer icon. It assures that the reindeers would be well treated, and would only be delivering a maximum weight.

My mistake. Need SYLT sample to test. USLT haven't timestamp, so will not support it.
I'd love to provide you with a sample, but
1) my tagging software (mediamonkey) only shows one tag-field "Songtext", which I found somewhere to be interpreted as USLT. I don't even know how to get access and then transfer my lyrics to a field named SYLT.
2) so far none of my lyrics have timestamps. You don't see a chance to support this? E.g. by just showing the whole lyrics text, if no time stamp or only "[00:00:00]" is there?
3) Does it help, if I add timestamps in my "Songtext"-field manually? (might be some effort, I read about software helping with this)
You should use CU Lyrics add on to lyrics not have timestamps.

Volkswagen has been given approval for its $14.7 billion (around £11bn) settlement with owners of cars in the US affected by the emissions scandal.
The settlement money, which is the largest sum in US history, will be used to compensate some 475,000 drivers. Owners can choose between getting the software fix or selling their car back to VW. They will also get additional compensation payments of between $5100 to $10,000, regardless of which choice they make.
The final approval follows comments from US District Judge Charles Breyer last week that indicated he planned to approve the deal.
No change for Europe
Volkswagen continues to draw criticism from political figures as it stands by its decision to not offer compensation to European customers, despite the mounting pressure to do so.
Spokesmen from Volkswagen have claimed that compensation is not necessary in the UK and the rest of Europe because the fix is less extensive and customers will, therefore, have their cars back soon after they have been recalled.
A further $2bn (around £1.5bn) will be put into the development of zero-emissions vehicles, such as hydrogen fuel cell cars and electric vehicles, while $2.7bn (around £2bn) will be put into environmental mitigation.
In the UK, it was recently revealed that Volkswagen offered to cover the cost of government retesting of vehicle emissions. However, the offer was only extended to Volkswagen Group vehicles, rather than all of the cars tested from various manufacturers, which reportedly cost a total of £2m.
The results of the retesting scheme revealed that only Volkswagen Group products used the so-called 'defeat devices', the discovery of which sparked the emissions scandal.

Arsenal should reignite their interest in Leicester City full-back Ben Chilwell after first being linked with the player back in 2015 by The Mirror.
Unai Emery has led Arsenal valiantly this season after a 3-1 victory over Leicester City on Monday night extended the Gunners winning-streak across all competitions to 10 matches but it is clear there is still a lot of work to do.
The Gunners struggled down the left side of defence due to the absence of Nacho Monreal and it provided further evidence that Arsenal need to be proactive in their pursuit of a long-term replacement for the 32-year-old Spain international.
Monreal is entering the final few months of his contract and Arsenal are short of alternatives in the squad, with Sead Kolasinac yet to convince since arriving on a free transfer from Schalke and the Gunners being forced to use Ainsley Maitland-Niles as an unorthodox full-back at the start of the campaign.
An ideal option is Leicester full-back Ben Chilwell, who caused the Gunners problems in Monday night's clash and has proved his worth with a tremendous rise this season.
Emery has placed a focus on attacking for his wing-backs at Arsenal this season, shown by Hector Bellerin's two assists in the victory over the Foxes, and Chilwell would provide a similar threat on the opposite side.
[brid autoplay="true" video="305269″ player="12034″ title="Are Emery's Arsenal Silently Gunning For The Title"]
A superb first touch from the England international saw Chilwell skip past Bellerin for the first goal of the game, where his cross was diverted into his own net by the Gunners full-back, and he was a thorn in the side for the hosts throughout the game.
Chilwell's attacking threat would fit perfectly into Emery's plans for Arsenal and, still just 21, would solve the Gunners' concerns down the left side of defence for the long-term and has the potential to be the club's best full-back since Ashley Cole.
He would not be a cheap recruit due to the fact he recently penned a six-year deal with the Foxes but Arsenal must make a move in the market.

Our boss, Sir Rob Wright, has been in north Wales seeing our work with the RAF family in action. Sir Rob tells us more in this post.
I've had really useful and interesting couple of days seeing our work in north Wales. The new St Dunstan's Centre in Llandudno will make a big difference to blind and visually impaired RAF servicemen – from the WW2 generation to those injured in Afghanistan today.
Work renovating this very striking building is steaming ahead and people like James Hill, an RAF veteran who toured the new building with me, will benefit a great deal.
The new Airplay multi use games area and play park we've constructed at RAF Valley is making a big difference to families on station. I was delighted to meet Laura Mitchell yesterday, who is married to an RAF Search and Rescue pilot and has three children: Ben, Tim and Andrew.
They have all benefited from the Airplay Parks and Airplay Youth Workers that we fund on station. It really is tremendously pleasing to hear first hand how the programme is making a difference.
Today I have the privilege of addressing personnel at the station, talking about the broader spectrum of care we provide for the RAF family.
I'll also catch up with the Search and Rescue force and members of 208 Squadron – I am president of the Squadron Association.
The last couple of days really brings home how our work is changing lives for the better – and how the need for our support endures.
By Sir Rob Wright, Controller of the RAF Benevolent Fund

UNLUCKY Theresa May today had her major relaunch overshadowed by a pesky cough, a set that fell apart, and a prankster who handed her a fake P45.
The PM - who repeatedly coughed and was on the verge of losing her voice - battled her way through her keynote speech to close the Conservative party conference in Manchester.
She apologised sincerely to Tory activists for the party's disastrous election as she tried to combat claims she was leading a zombie government.
But during her heartfelt speech, prankster Simon Brodkin - known as Lee Nelson - got on stage and gave her a fake P45, saying, "Boris asked me to give this to you."
The PM took it and put in on the floor next to the podium - before the joker was taken out of the hall.
As he was dragged away by security guards, he shouted: "Boris back me up please!"
MPs have hit out at the dreadful security lapse that left the man near to the Prime Minister for around a minute.
Greater Manchester Police said Brodkin had been arrested - but later announced he had "legitimate accreditation" and was released.
After he had been removed and shouted down by activists, a defiant Mrs May laughed the hiccup off, and joked: "I'd like to talk about someone I'd like to give a P45 to - and that's Jeremy Corbyn."
And in yet another embarrassing blunder, a letter fell off the slogan written on the stage's backdrop.
But the PM made light of the whole situation by tweeting out a picture of her strepsils and cough medicine on the table next to her speech.
The P45 said it was 'issued by' Boris Johnson.
Under 'reasons for termination' it said: "Neither strong nor stable. We are a bit worried about Jezza." Total tax to date said: "Ask Phillip".
No10 said after the incident: "We are expecting there to be a thorough investigation into what's happened."
A Conservative spokesman said: "In light of the arrest during the Prime Minister's speech we are working with the police to review the accreditation process and security arrangements for Party Conference."
Tories called for an inquiry into conference security after the prankster managed to get to the front - right next to the PM and the rest of the cabinet.
Justice Secretary David Lidington says "questions will be asked" and Philip Hammond said: "I'm sure the conference organisers will be looking into that breach".
Activists clapped as she tried to clear her throat to continue her rousing speech.
Mrs May - who has had a cough all week - was struggling to speak when Mr Hammond reached up to her and handed her a cough drop.
She then said: "I hope you noticed that - the Chancellor giving something away for free."
Top Tories were quick to line up to rally around her afterwards - despite the disastrous speech.
They said her cold showed her she was "human" and that she defied the odds to bring the party together.
But one Tory minister told The Sun after the speech: "What the f**king f**k, f**k, f**k. F**k."
Another Tory MP said: "As Napoleon always asked... I'm not sure Theresa May is lucky. An opportunity lost and there aren't many left."
And one said it raised serious questions about her leadership: "It's going to be like 2008 when we watched Labour hang onto Brown and sleepwalk into defeat. We cannot let that happen to us."
Mrs admitted it was her fault the Tories lost their majority, telling party members: "I am sorry."
The Prime Minister laid out her radical plan to build hundreds of thousands of new homes in order to reduce the pressure on house prices.
And she is also finally unveiling the long-promised cap on energy prices to help out struggling consumers.
Promising to deliver the 'British dream' to win back young voters from Jeremy Corbyn, the Prime Minister vowed: "The priorities of working people up and down the land... must be our only focus."
The Prime Minister made a series of heartfelt pledges including:
- Spending £2billion on new affordable housing to bring down sky-high home prices
- Capping rip-off energy prices so big firms can no longer take advantage of customers
- Reforming the university tuition fee system and freezing the maximum amount students pay
- Reviewing mental health treatments to help out the vulnerable
- Changing the law on organ donations so people will be listed as donors unless they opt out
- Listening to the public more to avoid a repeat of the snap election fiasco
- And she hit out at Jeremy Corbyn for letting antisemitism, misogyny and hatred run free in Labour
Who is the prankster who interrupted Theresa May's speech?
SIMON Brodkin, better known as his most famous comic charioteer Lee Nelson, has performed outrageous stunts across the world, upstaging everyone from Donald Trump to Sepp Blatter.
The Londoner first hit fame when he starred in his own BBC3 show in 2009, but has become infamous in the past few years for his daring pranks.
It has even led to him getting his own show on Channel 4 earlier this year, dubbing him "Britain's Greatest Hoaxer".
Explaining why he pulls off his pranks, Brodkin previously told the Radio Times: "It strikes me there are are people, companies and institutions that could do with being brought back down to earth a little bit.
"Targets who if I burst their bubble, may well result in me receiving a few high-fives. So, why not ruffle a few of those highly preened feathers?"
He added: "I don't randomly select people to target. A great deal of thought goes into who I want to prank and whether I can justify pranking them.
"They are people who act as if they are untouchable – the rich and infamous, the great and not so good.
"They are always big, always powerful. I would never pick on the little guy – that would be bullying."
In 2013 he managed to get onto the pitch at Goodison Park as his character Jason bent ahead of Everton's math against Manchester City.
And he was arrested after leaving the England football team bemused as he tried to board their team bus as they set off for the World Cup the following year.
He also managed to get on stage during an episode of the X Factor - and somehow managed to evade security to gatecrash Kanye West's Glastonbury performance in 2015.
Mr Brodkin got into a FIFA press conference and showered its then-boss Sepp Blatter with fake money - saying it was part of a bid to bring the World Cup to North Korea.
He also managed to get through the first audition for Britain's Got Talent by dressing up as a rapping rabbi called Steven Goldblatt.
Last year he mocked the Volkswagen emissions scandal by dressing as a VW engineer at the Geneva Motor Show and attempting to add a "cheat box" to the car.
In one of his most daring stunts he travelled up to the re-opening of Donald Trump's Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, and hijacked the President's speech by handing out balls with swastikas on them.
And last September he "renamed" Sir Philip Green's £100million super yacht Lionheart the "BHS Destroyer", in reference to the recent collapse of the department stores which he used to own.

To win by default [Again]
Reader comment on item: Jihad or Criminality?

Well - this asking of:
"He is trying to help the poor journalist Lisa Wangsness and I will leave it to the readers to judge you our dear Amin!"
Is ridiculous and bizarre. Again poor thinking. An argument is won on merit alone.
- - -
He has no answer - and he gave none . . . hence I win by default. It is not so much helping Wagnsness - but exposing poor thinking of DHM. Something that I am rather good at . . .

WA State Gov't, Heart Foundation & Cancer Council: Cancel your anti-obesity campaign
This petition had 740 supporters
This morning the WA state government, Heart Foundation and Cancer Council released an anti-obesity campaign employing scare tactics in a bid to fearmonger viewers into adopting a thinner physique.
Using graphic images the advertisement labelling visceral fat "toxic" will be broadcast everyday across a range of mediums.
We, the undersigned, believe this campaign to be both irresponsible and harmful. We call for the WA State Government, Heart Foundation, and Cancer Council to cancel this advertisement immediately.
Unlike tobacco and drink-driving, food is not a substance people can abstain from. Health and weight issues are highly complex and body disatissfaction is one of the biggest predictors of eating disorders and dysfunctional eating patterns. Scaring and shaming people about their bodies is not the answer.
Existing research shows that shaming people about their body size does not lead to health-giving behaviours. These kinds of campaigns only exacerbate the existing stigma and bullying based on body size, which is harmful to everyone.
With a largely unregulated weight loss industry, many become desperate to escape fat stigma by engaging in weight loss behaviours that are harmful to health. Unlike tobacco and drink-driving campaigns, the focus of this anti-obesity campaign is on appearance instead of behaviours. This is dangerous.
Not only are eating disorders appearing at younger and younger ages, but according to the National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC), eating disorders have increased two-fold in Australia over the past 5 years (http://www.nedc.com.au/for-the-media ). While this ad may be aimed at adults, it is naive to think school children will not be negatively impacted by this.
In fact, a pioneering research paper published in the Oxford Journal of Medicine 2004 reports "...health education messages about overweight and weight control are likely to make young people feel worse about their bodies and themselves in general."
Anti-obesity campaigns like this one are likely to contribute to increasing rates of eating and dieting disorders. Eating disorders sufferers should not be the necessary casualties in the crusade against obesity.
Research shows that fitness is a far better predictor of health than weight, and people of all sizes need to exercise and eat well if they want to be healthy.
UPDATE: On June 27 Lydia Jade Turner contacted The Heart Foundation's Chief Officer, Maurice Swanson, requesting to see the methodology used to support the foundation's claims that the advertising messages had been "thoroughly tested to ensure they are effective and unlikely to generate unintended consequences." Turner also left a voice message on the Foundation's contact line.
Over a week later, we have yet to hear back. Turner also raises questions about the foundation's claims of having "collaborated" with eating disorder experts on this campaign - You can read more about this issue here http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=13830
UPDATE July 10:
After more than a week had passed in making requests to see methodology, The Heart Foundation's LiveLighter campaign director, Melanie Fineberg, and its Chief Executive Maurice Swanson, finally provided brief information about the campaign's methodology to Petition Organizer Lydia Jade Turner. The information was SO vague that Lydia asked some standard questions: how were long term consequences tested for? how was risk of eating and dieting disorders assessed? what questions were put to the participants?
Instead of providing answers, Fineberg has made it clear there will be no further discussion about methodology. Given $9 million of taxpayer's money has been spent on what will be a 3 yr campaign, surely The Heart Foundation should be transparent about these matters.
It seems Fineberg's claim in the WA Today that the advertising messages were "thoroughly tested" and "unlikely to generate unintended consequences" is one The Heart Foundation can't back up.
UPDATE: 30 JULY 2012 - The Heart Foundation claimed they had collaborated with members of the National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC) in formulating this ad campaign. We have now been informed that the Chair of the NEDC has contacted the CEO of the Heart Foundation, Mr Maurice Swanson, to tell him that they 1) do NOT endorse the ads, and 2) repeated concerns that the ad campaign contradicts NEDC's guidelines on 'safe messaging' re health and weight, and is likely to have harmful impact. We are now pushing to have the NEDC publicly announce that they never endorsed this campaign, and that it is likely to be harmful.

FORT MCMURRAY, Canada (AFP) - Crews worked on Tuesday to start restoring water and electricity in this Canadian oil hub turned into a ghost town by a towering ring of fire that reduced its suburbs to ashes.
Government authorities, meanwhile, met with oil company executives in the oil sands region of unseasonably dry Alberta province to discuss how to get evacuated workers back on the job and production up and running again.
Oil is the lifeblood of the region's economy, and the fires raging around Fort McMurray for the past 10 days or so have led to a 40 per cent drop in output.
Oil facilities have escaped major damage so far. But fires are still burning and officials said the main task is to keep them contained around those plants so workers can be flown back in.
Fire fighters using heavy machinery have cleared away swaths of forest around the oil facilities to keep the fire from spreading into them.
A ride through Fort McMurray showed the center of the now-empty city of 100,000 came out of the disaster largely intact. But the suburbs, where some people got just a half hour's notice to evacuate a week ago, were singed.
The outlying areas are now a ruined, scorched landscape dotted with the odd survivor, like an elementary school here or a bus stop shelter there, coated in soot but still standing.
Plots of land where houses once stood are now separated by melted, twisted skeletons of metal fences.
Neat, nicely kept neighbourhoods - with single-family homes, yards with swing sets and houses for dogs - are pretty much gone.
Outside one lot, a totally charred bike lies in the driveway of what had been a house. All that's left is a disfigured stove, covered in rubble and leaning against a blackened wall.
Fires are stilling burning to the east of the city. And the tally of how much land was charred now stands at 2,230 sq km, with 2,400 homes and other buildings destroyed.
As one approaches the city from the south on Highway 63, the lush green grass of springtime quickly gives way to scorched trees whose foliage went up in flames.
Still, it could have been much, much, worse, said Alberta Premier Rachel Notley.
"The city was surrounded by an ocean of fire only a few days ago. But Fort McMurray and the surrounding communities have been saved and they will be rebuilt," she said Monday night.
"I've never seen anything like this," said city fire chief Darby Allen. "If that fire had gotten into the downtown, we would have lost the downtown area."
Inside the city, electrical utility crews got to work replacing wooden poles burned away by the fire, so they get power lines back up.
It will be at least two weeks before people can start returning to their homes, if they still have one, said Allen.

Not being prepared on the water is almost as bad as not finding fish. Eliminating wasted time and mistakes will help you catch more fish anywhere.
One of the biggest problems when fishing a spinning reel is line twist with monofilament lines. Youtube can show you in real time.

Getting an Affordable Car Shipping Rate from Alabama to Connecticut
Whether youre moving to a different home or you want to have your new car safely delivered from Alabama to Connecticut with cheap car shipping carriers, you always have to be careful as you filter through the results to find companies that are able to provide budget services.
The good news is, as long as you are thorough with your research, chances are youll find a suitable carrier that will not only handle your vehicle with care, but also help you achieve a much needed reduction on your overall moving expenses.
How Cheap Are Car Transport Companies?
The question of anyone interested in moving a vehicle these days often goes something like: how much does it cost to ship a car from Alabama to Connecticut with cheap car shipping companies, and am I better off just driving the car myself?
While this is a valid question the unfortunate truth is that not all services are alike, and youll often have to search high and low to find a trustworthy company that can handle a move over a distance of more than 1,000 miles without charging exaggerated fees.
The average car shipping rate associated with cheaper companies will usually fall beneath the $1,000 mark; however, depending on specific features and options you may require, this amount can be higher or lower.
For instance, if youre on a budget, you can opt for an open carrier which is often just as safe as an enclosed one for regular, small vehicles. Also, if youre in a hurry, consider booking your delivery earlier instead of opting for the more expensive, express shipping.
All in all, Alabama to Connecticut auto transport costs can generally drop to less than $700-800 as long as you keep these advanced features to a minimum and choose a car transport company willing to help you find more flexible pricing solutions.
Get the Best Alabama to Connecticut Car Shipping Rate
For all our clients in search of low budget solutions, our experts here at American Auto Move are more than willing to help out with advice, information and useful guidelines geared toward locating the most affordable options and best level of quality.

About Us
Magyar Marketing was established by my mother, Elizabeth A. Szabo and was based in Youngstown, OH for 20 years. Since 1988 my mom thoroughly enjoyed providing connections for Hungarians living in the USA who either missed having access to important segments of their culture or may have never known the rich traditions that are part of being Hungarian. I grew up surrounded by many Hungarians but I am not a fluent speaker. Three of my four grandparents were born in greater Hungary and moved to the USA when they were children between 1890-1912. My husband, Don, has Dutch and German heritage and his grandparents also all came around the turn of the century.
After my mom died in 2008, we relocated Magyar Marketing to southern Indiana where we lived with our four children. After living in New York for a few years, we are back in Evansville, Indiana where we continue to encourage everyone to discover, celebrate, and share Hungarian heritage with their family and friends. We like to celebrate all things Hungarian and have discovered and developed a number of products to help you do the same!
Please call 1-800-786-7851 or email email@example.com to request a free catalog, information on our tours to Hungary, and to receive our e-newsletter in your email inbox!

One of the things I love in the art room is seeing the variety of work the students produce and getting it out for others to see. It often takes a while to get enough of the items completed but this week gone the tessellation displays have gone up in Pods 2 & 3, as well as a large school of fish and other sea creatures swimming in the Agora. These fish started out as a tracing around our shoes. One of the kids renamed the "foot fish" as FOOSH and the name stuck. Enjoy.
Monthly Archives: May 2013
This week our first group of kids finished the food handlers course and sat their test.
A huge congrats to all the kids, as everyone passed!!!
A very big congratulations goes to Nick, who not only passed but got 100% on his test! Well done guys we knew you could do it!
Now we will be using these food safety practices with more awareness and understanding why this is so important in our kitchens here at school and home and in work places!
Cooking with EJ, Kimchi Mandu
This week we started our cooking with the Pod 3's Korean class.
EJ and myself decided a dumpling would be something the kids would love,as when introducing new foods to anyone it is always a good idea if it resembles something familiar, in this case similar to a dim sim.
We learnt that in Korea every home would have a jar of "Kimchi", which is a traditional pickled, spiced cabbage (generally napa cabbage, I think we would recognise this as wombok?).
Having finding this hard to purchase in Ballarat (we will need to stock up from Melbourne), I googled some quick recipe versions with ingredients we could find from our supermarkets! Not quite traditional but similar!
Some of the boys made a dipping sauce we downloaded from the net, and EJ gave it the seal of approval!!!
We used wonton wrappers, but since then I've found a simple recipe, which I rolled the dough through a pasta machine to get the right thickness. I experimented with this and found it much tastier!
After preparing our filling we cut the wontons into circles filled, sealed and shaped them!
With some of our mandu (Korean word for dumpling), we steamed, and with others we fried in a little sesame oil.
Which reminds me, I must ask EJ if sesame is something that is used often in Korean cooking? As in some of the recipes I have come across tends to have a lot of sesame seeds or oil in them!
We thought over the next few weeks we would keep making these and perhaps a Kimchi Pancake too.
Here are some lovely pics of our yummy Kimchi Mandu we made!

Mother's Day
The Pod 1 & 2 students have been creating presents for Mother's day in the Art & Woodwork rooms.
Mr Rantall had the Pod 1 students making little planter boxes which were later spray painted. When they visited Mr Westaway in the Art room, they made picture frames out of icypole sticks and drew pictures to go in their frames.
The Pod 2 students also made presents out of icypole sticks but they taped 6 sticks together so they could fold like a concertina. Once painted up, the sticks had a lovely message written on them.
Happy Mother's Day.
Term 2 Week 3 SPORTS REPORT
Last night our girls Basketball team played their first game against St Thomas More. By all reports the girls ran like the wind.
Unfortunately Lumen Christi was a late cancelation so our Boys team will play their first game next week against Grammar.

3D c-AFM Imaging of Conductive Filaments in HfO2 Resistive Switching Devices
MetadataShow full item record
Resistive switching in metal-insulator-metal devices is promising as an alternative to flash memory. The change in resistance from insulating to conducting and back again is theoretically caused by the formation and partial destruction of conductive filaments composed of a metal or oxide structure. These filaments have a significant effect on device performance and stability. However, due to their small size (nm range) and location within the device, the filaments are difficult to study directly. Various techniques such as TEM, SEM, and c-AFM have been used to obtain 2D or 3D images of the filaments in an attempt to determine their morphology, conductivity, and composition. In this study, AFM and c-AFM were used to investigate the topography and local conductivity of the oxide layer and construct a 3D image of a conductive filament in formed p+Si|HfO2|Cu devices. Damage to the oxide layer was found to vary with both oxide crystallinity and forming voltage, conductive regions were found to be associated with the damaged areas, and the 3D data collected for the filament revealed an hourglass morphology.

text: Tel Aviv District Court Judge David Rozen on Sunday rejected former prime minister Ehud Olmert's request to leave the country on business for four days on the grounds that he has been convicted and sentenced to jail time for bribery.Olmert requested to travel from June 9-13 in order to facilitate business deals including foreign investment in Israel. His former chief architect in Jerusalem, Uri Shitrit, made a similar request, which was denied in the same opinion. The court said that the only exception for leaving the country under such circumstances was special medical needs, which did not apply to either of the convicted men.Olmert was sentenced to six years in prison for his conviction on two counts of bribery in the Holyland real estate affair last month.The judge delayed the arrest and imprisonment of all of the Holyland defendants until September 1.Olmert and the other defendants may further delay any prison time by filing an appeal within 45 days of the May 13 sentencing and asking the Supreme Court to delay their imprisonment pending a decision on it.A similar request made to the Supreme Court in 2011 by former president Moshe Katsav was honored by the court and delayed his imprisonment for about six months.Olmert could obtain an even longer delay due to the complexities of this case. They include his July 2012 Jerusalem corruption trial appeal, also before the Supreme Court, and an expected indictment against him for allegedly blocking his former top aide Shula Zaken from cooperating with the state.

Short Term Rehab
How Short-term Rehab Can Help You Recover
If you've been sick or injured, you may not be ready to go back home even when you're released from the hospital. You may not be able to handle all your daily routine or do everything you could before your injury. Short-term rehab gives you the opportunity to continue to get stronger and healthier while getting the care you still need.
Improve Quality of Recovery and Reduce Timeline
When you choose to go to a short-term rehab facility, you will have access to physical therapy every day. The treatments will be designed for your injury which may be better than trying to do your own fitness. A therapist will make sure you stay active while monitoring you for overuse or other problems.
Because you can get more therapy, you may be able to reduce the timeline of recovery. You can get well faster and get back to your normal routine sooner. For retirees, they are at a greater risk of reduced capacity after an injury, but rehab can help you regain more of your former abilities.
Reduce Risk for Secondary Injury
When you go home after an injury, you may be alone or have limited help. You'll be more likely to take on tasks or try to do more than what your body is ready for. With short-term rehab, you only do the activities deemed to be safe and work your way up to full activity when your body is ready.
For instance, hobbling around on crutches or using a walker after a hip or leg injury can leave you more susceptible to a fall. At a rehab facility, you can call for assistance when you move around, which will lessen the risk for further injury.
Prevent Future Injuries
As you go through rehab, you not only work on your injured body part, you learn how to strengthen the area surrounding it. You'll learn exercises you can continue to do at home even after you've completely recovered.
As you work to get healthier and stronger, you lessen the chances that you'll have the same or similar injury in the future. You may become more aware of risks and weaknesses you didn't know existed. A therapist can teach you how to take care of yourself and deal with health issues specific to aging.
You Aren't Alone
It can be rather scary to be at home alone when you're not 100 percent well. You may worry about what happens if you fall or can't take care of yourself. With short-term rehab, you have peace of mind to know someone's always nearby if you need assistance. This allows you to focus on recovery instead of worrying about getting hurt again.
If you or your loved one has suffered a bone break, sprain or other injury or is recovering from a sickness or surgery, short-term rehab may be the right option after release from the hospital. Consider how it can help you reach your goals and once again become independent.
