Mentalization-Based Treatment: Basic Training (Milan, Italy)
- Length:
- 3 days
About this course
The training will be delivered in English and there will be simultaneous translation to Italian, apart from day 3 where the training will be delivered in Italian. Therefore, this training is only suitable for Italian speaking participants.
Please note that lunch will not be provided.
Course Outline
Mentalizing lies at the very core of our humanity – it refers to our ability to attend to mental states in ourselves and in others as we attempt to understand our own actions and those of others on the basis of intentional mental states. A focus on this very human activity as a therapeutic intervention forms the core of mentalization based treatment (MBT). It was initially developed for the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD) although it is now being used on a wide range of disorders. This training programme focusses on MBT for BPD.
Mentalization Based Treatment is an evidence based psychological therapy for borderline personality disorder (BPD). The training is organised in a stepped system from basic training to practitioner level and then through to supervisor to training levels.
There are currently three components to training in Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT):
- 3-day MBT basic training course
- Supervision with a senior MBT Practitioner
- 2-day MBT Practitioner training
Following attendance at the basic training course clinicians can participate in supervision to embed their newly acquired mentalizing skills whilst using them in their everyday work. Once the skills are embedded in daily practice clinicians can attend the MBT certificate course for practitioner level training. Following this, practitioners can consider supervision to become supervisors of others in their work place. Click here more information about the MBT Training Programme

Michael Vartan Gossip
Michael Vartan gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Izzy vs. Meredith
Sandra Oh is obviously the class of the show, followed in close succession by Chandra Wilson and Kate Walsh as the breathtaking Addison and of course, we all love Sara Ramirez (pronounced Sah-Dah, soft "d", almost a rolling R and D combination, as I learned when I interviewed her recently for eTalk), and even though it's called GREY's Anatomy, I gotta tell you that even the hysterical Izzy, whose storyline I abhorred last year, is preferable to whiny Meredith, in character and debatably in person – if that episode of Punk'd is to be considered. Full Story
Garner & Vartan: picture perfect
Hollywood is a crazy beast. I look at this photo and if I didn"t know better, I"d think they were completely in love. As it happens, they were only filming a scene for the final episode of Alias. Still…if my husband was smiling like this while "pretending" to be in love with two dimples and a very sweet smile, I"d have some serious concerns. Full Story

Coming off of last year's excellent (and sadly underseen) Young Adult, director Jason Reitman is gearing up to begin production on his next project, Labor Day, this summer. Reitman scripted the adaptation of Joyce Manard's novel himself, and Kate Winselt stars as a lonely mother whose 13-year-old son convinces her to take in a drifter (Josh Brolin) who turns out to be an escaped convict. The three spend Labor Day Weekend together and, obviously, bond. THR now reports that James Van Der Beek has joined the cast as a police officer investigating a missing person's case ($10 says he shows up on Winslet's doorstep at some point in the film).
Additionally, a separate report from THR reveals that, following an extensive search, Reitman has settled on Gattlin Griffith (Changeling) to play Winslet's son in the film. The deal isn't closed, but the actor has entered negotiations. The role is crucial as the story is told from the boy's point of view. I'm a big fan of Reitman so I'm eager to check this one out. The director will have waited nearly a year to start production so that Winslet and Brolin's schedules could free up, so clearly he's passionate about what he's put together. [Update: Feeling left out by the Labor Day casting party, Variety now adds that Brighid Fleming has landed the young female lead in the film, a character who acts as the object of Griffith's affection.]

Gernika peppers
Gernika pepper
Gernika peppers are known for their extraordinary flavour and great quality. Normally consumed fried as an aperitif, as a garnish or first course, they are one of the most typical foods in Basque cuisine.
The Gernika pepper is a local variety of pepper from the province of Vizcaya, the result of the adaptation made by the species originally from America to the area's climatic conditions. Its colour is a deep green and its shape elongated and sharp-pointed. It has a long stalk and its size ranges between 6 and 9cm. On the palate its flesh is fine and soft and it is not hot. It is preferably eaten fried and is a good accompaniment for various dishes of seasonal products. Since 1993, it has had the Basque Food Quality Label, completely guaranteeing its flavour and freshness. On the market it appears packed in plastic trays of twelve units. The Kalitatea stamp and the Gernika Pepper Label logo must appear on this packaging.
More information
Product information

text: FROM: Hunter College Contacts: Corresponding author: Diana Reiss, Professor, Department of Psychology, Hunter College, City University of New York, 646-775-5059/ 212-650-3432 or firstname.lastname@example.com / email@example.com Whale and Dolphin Conservation/US: Courtney Vail, 480-747-5015 or firstname.lastname@example.com Newly-released, independent analysis of killing methods used by fishermen involved in the dolphin drive hunts in Taiji, Japan has revealed disturbing levels of physical trauma and extreme cruelty that fall below international levels of animal welfare. Recent undercover video footage documents what Japanese officials claim is an improved method for killing dolphins and whales in the hunts. The shocking video shows a fisherman repeatedly ramming a metal rod into the base of a dolphin's head, and how the wound, caused by the insertion of the metal rod behind the dolphin's blowhole, is then plugged with a wooden dowel to prevent unsightly bleeding into the water. Lead author Dr. Andy Butterworth, a veterinarian from the University of Bristol (UK), who is internationally known for his work in animal welfare assessment, animal use and abuse issues, Dr. Diana Reiss, a Hunter College Professor and internationally known expert in dolphin behavior and cognition and their co-authors criticize this killing method in a paper that has recently been published in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science (JAAWS). Click here for a PDF version of the paper. Click here for a link to the video footage. PLEASE NOTE: Video footage is not suitable for children — or many adults, for that matter. By comparing the video data obtained directly from the hunts (which occur annually from September to April) with data published in Japan, the analysis refutes claims that the new killing method results in a 'quick death' and instead examines the physical and behavioral impacts of these extremely inhumane procedures. Dr. Butterworth, and his co-authors conclude that this method does not lead to a quick and painless death, contrary to reports from Japanese researchers. Instead, this brutal method leads to significant hemorrhaging and likely paralysis, and results in a slow death through trauma and gradual blood loss. "Our analysis shows that this killing method does not conform to the recognized requirement for 'immediate insensibility' and would not be tolerated or permitted in any regulated slaughterhouse process in the developed world," Butterworth concludes. Therefore, the methods currently utilized in the drive hunts do not guarantee a swift and humane death, may prolong suffering, and do not conform to internationally-recognized animal welfare requirements. The dolphin drive hunts in Japan involve the herding of dolphins at sea and driving and corralling them into the confines of the cove in Taiji. Here, behind curtains drawn across the cove, they are slaughtered for meat, or kept alive for sale to some marine parks across the globe. The scientific analysis presented in this paper underscores the fact that the killing methods used in the drive hunts are unacceptable by any country's standards, including even Japan's own humane slaughter guidelines. "The killing of dolphins by any method is unacceptable, but our research into the true nature of the particular killing methods utilized in the drive hunts in Taiji has confirmed our worst fears. This analysis verifies the unspeakable cruelty taking place behind the tarpaulins that are used by the fishermen to try to shield the slaughter each season," said Courtney Vail, Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) biologist and co-author. "It is a sad irony that in trying to find an improved killing method, but perhaps also to reduce the unsightly flow of blood into the water, the hunters have developed a new technique which likely exacerbates the suffering for the dolphins killed in these appalling hunts," said WDC senior biologist and co-author, Philippa Brakes. "The inhumane killing methods used in the dolphin drives are a blatant violation of any reasonable animal welfare standards and are indefensible given our scientific knowledge of dolphins which has demonstrated their sophisticated cognitive abilities including self and social awareness, cultural richness, and their capacity to experience pain and suffering," said Dr. Diana Reiss, the corresponding author on the paper.

Last week the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights - a common sense financial system reform and consumer protection. This bill provides tough new protections for consumers facing excessive credit card fees, sky high interest rates and unfair agreements that credit card companies revise at will.
This bill is important to the establishment and growth of minority businesses because a greater proportion of minority-owned firms are started or acquired by using credit cards (10 percent of firms) among other sources of capital, compared to non-minority firms (9 percent of firms), according to MBDA's "Characteristics of Minority Businesses and Entrepreneurs." (March 2008)
This finding suggests minority entrepreneurs are more likely to finance long-term liabilities with short-term debt that often carries higher interest rates.
Of all the minority-owned respondent businesses, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islanders and American Indian and Alaska Natives had the largest proportion (13 percent and 12 percent respectively) that used credit cards for the same purpose compared to non-minority firms.
MBDA's Access to Capital Initiative is focused on increasing the availability of credit and investments in minority businesses. The current tightened credit market threatens to halt the growth and expansion of minority-owned firms in neighborhoods and communities throughout the United States – impacting both job and wealth creation.

Story highlights
- Julian Zelizer: Bill Clinton has re-emerged as a political force to be cultivated
- Obama could learn how Clinton got himself re-elected, he says, won high ratings
- Zelizer: Clinton succeeded in countering GOP attacks, stayed focused on economy
- Another lesson for Obama is Clinton's empathy for struggling Americans, he writes
Sometimes it feels like President Clinton never left the public spotlight. Although there were moments during the 2008 campaign when it seemed he was as much of a target within his own party as were the Republicans, these days Clinton is everywhere and Democrats want him by their side. Members of President Obama's campaign team say Clinton will offer them his services next year.
The re-emergence of President Clinton in Obama's circles has been gradual. It has taken time to recover from the tensions that flared during the 2008 Democratic primaries, when some Democrats accused Clinton of making racist remarks following Obama's victory over Sen. Hillary Clinton in South Carolina. But over the past year, the White House has brought him back on more and more occasions to strengthen Obama's standing.
What explains the former president's appeal -- beyond his knowing how to work the necessary magic that got him re-elected in 1996 and left booming approval ratings at the end of his presidency? His strengths offer some guidance for President Obama to improve his standing, even beyond his campaign.
The first is that President Clinton was very successful at counteracting Republicans when they attacked. One of President Obama's great frustrations has been the "messaging wars." He has frequently been frustrated by how the GOP portrays him to the public and defines his policies in unfavorable ways.
Clinton didn't let the GOP do that easily. When Republicans painted the president as left of center early in his term, he responded by aggressively highlighting his centrist credentials, lowering the deficit in 1993 and reforming welfare in 1996. Although he accepted their terms of debate, unlike when President Obama has done the same, he was able to follow through on that co-optation by strengthening his party's standing.
When House Republicans shut down the government over spending, Clinton helped convince the public that they were extremists, forcing Republicans to backtrack.
When the GOP started the process to impeach President Clinton in 1998 and 1999, he focused public attention on that process, which he said was driven purely by partisan concerns. Republicans said that the president was corrupt. The president responded that Republicans were simply using impeachment for partisan purposes. His approval ratings skyrocketed. The GOP struggled.
The second reason is that President Clinton was relentless in his focus on the economy. Clinton, who famously campaigned with "It's the economy, stupid" in 1992, never took his eye off the ball. He continued to hammer away at the recession that he inherited and didn't stop talking about the problems Americans faced. Although Clinton did turn his attention toward health care in 1993 and 1994, he continued to work on the economy, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act. He proposed enterprise zones to try and revitalize urban areas and fought against Republican proposed cuts to key domestic programs. During the rebound of the mid-1990s, Clinton was in a good position to claim credit for the improved circumstances.
President Obama has certainly worked hard to improve the economy. In more dramatic fashion than Clinton, he persuaded Congress to pass an economic stimulus bill as well as financial regulation. But too often, President Obama has seemed focused on other concerns, whether it was health care reform in his first two years as president or deficit reduction after the midterm elections. The situation has left many Democrats yearning for a president who understood that economic recovery was the top priority for many in the party.
The final reason is that President Clinton displayed a phenomenal ability to show empathy with Americans who were suffering, whether they were struggling with hard economic times or were the victims of the Oklahoma City bombing. Although empathy is much different from policy, it was clear that Clinton's ability to forge connections with voters in small groups, or even through speeches, was one of the reasons his polls remained so strong.
This has been one of the hardest challenges for the president, who often seems distant and disconnected from the problems facing the country. Obama, a skilled orator, has had trouble connecting to voters at this level.
None of this is to ignore the many Democrats who still look back to the Clinton years with a skeptical eye. After all, some Democrats argue that he helped to promote the deregulatory policies that fueled the financial meltdown and that he did little to reverse the growing economic inequality in America.
Nonetheless, many aspects of his presidency are attractive in retrospect. For all these reasons, President Clinton is back. The man who often positioned himself against the Clinton legacy is running side by side with him. Besides the campaign for reelection, President Obama should spend some time thinking about what lessons Clinton has to offer this presidency in the final months of his first term -- and in his second term, should that come to pass.

Important Items...[edit]
Brotherhood of Steel Mission Holotape (x3), Brotherhood Scout Report (x3), Reverse Pulse Cleaner, Differential Pressure Controller, HEPA 20 Cartridge Filter (x6).
If you're a veteran of Fallout 3, you'll be plenty familiar with a Wasteland order known as the Brotherhood of Steel. The Brotherhood were all over the Capital Wasteland on the east coast, looking all sorts of threatening in their metallic Power Armor. There's a severe lack of Brotherhood of Steel in New Vegas, however. They're found virtually nowhere in the wild. But if you visit a specific location, known as the Hidden Valley, you'll find the Brotherhood of Steel, resting incognito underground. The Hidden Valley is a vast location near the western edge of the map. The closest and most obvious location near it is the REPCONN Test Site to the southeast. When you arrive, you'll find multiple bunker entrances that lead to underground areas. The one you're looking for in particular should be marked up with graffiti such as "BILLY RULES" to the left of the entrance, and "PEACE!" to the right of the entrance. Once inside, however, you'll quickly be intercepted by the Brotherhood of Steel. They'll strip you of all of your gear and escort you further into the compound. Comply with their wishes.
After being disarmed (and embarrassed), you'll meet with one of the Brotherhood's lieutenants, Paladin Ramos. Paladin Ramos himself will be short with you, however, instead opting to let you meet the Brotherhood's leader in this area, a man named Elder McNamara. Elder McNamara is a cold and curt man who intends on using you to help his group in return for your eventual freedom. Concerned that you found his well-concealed group in the first place, McNamara has decided to equip you with a collar that will ensure you don't stray too far from the Hidden Valley while you do some random jobs for them. Agree to help McNamara out, and you'll get all of your stolen gear and weapons back from a bin when you're let loose. Be certain you reequip your standard gear before moving on, since you're technically still naked when you regain your equipment.
Your first task is a simple one, but then again, that's the idea. Heed McNamara's warning, however, and don't stray too far from the compound, or your explosive collar will detonate. The best way to avoid any unpleasant injuries is to mark this quest as active on your Pip-Boy, and then follow the on-screen compass directions. This will lead you outside of the rusting fence surrounding this area, but you're still safe. You'll soon thereafter run into the NCR officer McNamara wants you to get rid of, a man by the name of Dobson. Dobson is in the area trying to set-up shop so that he can go after Powder Gangers. The best way to take care of him is to simply convince him that you mean him no harm, and that you aren't a Powder Ganger, which will require a pretty basic Speech skill. Keep using that Speech skill to convince him to scurry off unharmed, which takes care of that issue all at once.
Upon returning to the Brotherhood, you'll have to speak into an intercom to be let through the door. Thereafter, McNamara will intercept you and congratulate you on a job well done. He'll then scurry back off to his office, and you should follow right behind him, since there's more to this story than meets the eye. McNamara has more tasks for you to complete. Speak to him and listen to what he has to say. Now that you've proven your worth to the Brotherhood, he'll gladly remove your collar, and you can now come and go as you please. He'll also tell you of three missing Brotherhood convoys at three different locations. He wants you to check up on their statuses, and either bring them back alive, or bring the holotape that they were carrying with them so that the Brotherhood can determine what happened to them. Agree to help McNamara, and you'll be cut loose once more.
As you leave McNamara's office, a man you've yet to speak to will intercept you. His name is Head Paladin Hardin, and as you'll soon find out, he looks at things in a far different light than the Elder does. Hardin isn't pleased that most of the Brotherhood have been underground, permanently, for several years. Only select people are able to leave the confines of the bunker at night to explore and scavenge. He reflects to you the belief that his men are undertrained, having no real-life experience, and wants the Elder to step down or be removed, so that he can take over, free the Brotherhood from the bunker, and become a force throughout the Mojave Wasteland, which he promises will end up helping you. Even if you don't intend on helping him, hear him out. Thereafter, you'll realize that there are some important choices to be made moving forward, since you can really only realistically help Hardin or McNamara, and not both. What will you do?
Now, you can make whatever choice you want, either choosing to side with McNamara or Hardin. Not surprisingly, siding with Hardin is going to bring the Brotherhood of Steel into your fold for the endgame as associated with the main quest known as Wild Card: Side Bets . That's the direction we went into in our walkthrough, so that's the path we'll take here. Should you want to help McNamara, a lot of this walkthrough will still be helpful to you until the very end, but either way, know that that particular path isn't covered here. So the general idea is to follow up on Hardin's "optional" tasks before heading out into the wilderness to find the three missing convoys. You can begin doing that by speaking with Paladin Ramos back up in his office by the entrance to the bunker. Speak with him about the rumors of deposing McNamara, and he'll immediately suspect you've been speaking to Hardin. He'll tell you that he'll unlock some interesting information for you to read on the bunker's computer system, though you'll need to delve back into the depths of the bunker to read the text.
The given text is on the computer system kept by Scribe Ibsen, who is back down in the depths of the bunker near McNamara's location. You'll find him in the data hive surrounded by plenty of computers and subordinates alike. Speak with him, and you'll learn that the computer system is currently down. While you can use a considerable Science skill check to convince him of the solution, that won't stop you from still having to go through the motions of helping him fix the computer virus that's afflicted the system manually. Doing so is easy; all you have to do is jump around from the terminals to find the three with the virus actively on it. Quarantining the virus to those three terminals will result in an unlocking of all of the terminals for you to use. You can now read the information unlocked for you by Paladin Ramos earlier.
Reading the initial reports on the computer will reveal that there have been a few examples of elders being removed from their posts, but when you report back to Paladin Ramos with this information, you'll realize that it's exceedingly rare, and that to some people, McNamara is still looked at as a bona fide hero because of events that took place at the NCR-controlled HELIOS One before everyone was locked in this bunker. Further investigation will net you little new information, though you'll quickly realize that you have to choose one path or the other to finish your tasks with the Brotherhood of Steel, including this side quest. While you can make either decision you'd like, we've opted in our particular walkthrough to help depose McNamara, which will allow the Brotherhood of Steel to help us during the endgame.
Now, it's time to chase after the three missing patrols McNamara told you about earlier. Let's go in the order the game gives you these tasks, starting with the lost patrol that went to REPCONN HQ. Depending on how thoroughly you've explored the Mojave Wasteland thusfar, you may or may not have already added REPCONN HQ to your map. Therefore, you can just quick-travel there if that's the case. If not, REPCONN HQ, which is a three-story-high office building in fair shape (considering everything else around it), can be found near the center of the Mojave Wasteland, south and slightly east of the New Vegas metropolitan area. The Grub N' Gulp Rest Stop is situated to the north, Follower's Outpost to the east, Hunter's Farm to the west, and the NCR Ranger Safehouse to the south.
Once inside REPCONN HQ, your ultimate goal is going to be to work your way to the third floor of the building. It's there that you'll find precisely what you're looking for. In the meantime, though, you'll need to move around the building's first two floors, which will be as simple or difficult as you make it. There are Mr. Gutsy-like robots roaming the halls of REPCONN HQ, but as long as you successfully hack certain computers, one on each floor, you'll be able to enter your face into facial recognition software that will call of the robots from attacking you. If you're unable to do this, then the robots will turn hostile. Other than that, this location will prove to be a rich source of curative items and ammunition, should you be thorough enough in exploring the ruins in its entirety. Once on the third floor, you'll find two corpses of members of the Brotherhood of Steel. Scour their bodies for whatever you may want off of them, being sure to grab the key item, the Brotherhood of Steel Mission Holotape, before moving on.
The second location of interest is Nellis Air Force Base. That is where the second crew of Brotherhood of Steel soldiers were sent. Nellis Air Force Base is the home of the Boomers, the overly-aggressive Wastelanders who regularly lob heavy ordnance into the desert to convince would-be travelers to stay far away from their territory. If you haven't opened up these guys as part of [page4.html the Side Quest known as Volare!] , then you'll need to do that first. Otherwise, you'll never successfully gain entry to Nellis Air Force Base, which will forever seal-off the fate, one way or another, of the Brotherhood of Steel contingent you're after in the area.
Once you do have access to Nellis Air Force Base, however, finding the Brotherhood of Steel soldiers in question is easy. Your best bet is to teleport to Nellis Air Force Base (which is at the far northeastern end of the Mojave Wasteland), and then simply work your way out of the settlement and back out towards the destroyed town that rests outside of the base. The Brotherhood of Steel Paladins in question didn't survive their quest towards Nellis (for obvious reasons), so follow the marker on your map/compass (by making this quest your active quest on your Pip-Boy), and you'll find the dead soldier you seek before long, amongst some rubble. As was the case back at REPCONN HQ, search his body, and you'll find another Brotherhood of Steel Mission Holotape.
We've left the third and final location of the last missing contingent of Brotherhood of Steel Paladins as the last we'll pursue, because it's actually closest to the Brotherhood's secret hideout. So it's all about timing, you see. The third contingent (that, not surprisingly, perished) can be found near Black Mountain, which is a treacherous and dangerous location near the center of the map, but more closely aligned with the eastern edge of the Mojave Wasteland. This area is overrun by pesky Super Mutants and their Centaur friends, so be ready for a battle when you arrive. Your best bet is to simply quick-travel to Black Mountain or nearby Black Rock Cave, and then work your way towards the location marked on the map from there. If neither of these closely-related locations have been added to your map yet, you can find them in between the El Dorado Substation to the east, the NCR Ranger Safehouse to the northwest, and HELIOS One to the southeast.
The body you seek of the Paladin containing the final holotape is in a heavily-irradiated crater in the ground. At you work your way there through winding pathways and canyons, expect to be attacked by Radscorpions and Bark Scorpions. As you get closer to the crater in question, you'll be assaulted by droves of Centaurs instead, and perhaps even some Super Mutants (if you're lucky). If you have some Rad-X, a Radiation Suit, or anything else, use them as you go into the crater, since, as we already mentioned, it's heavily irradiated. At the bottom of the crater, you should find another Paladin corpse, holding yet another Brotherhood of Steel Mission Holotape. If you've been following our directions, that should be the third and final one. Now that you have all three, it's time to quick-travel back to Hidden Valley, where you can reconnect with the Brotherhood of Steel once more.

Dart Editor and SDK
The Dart project ships a lightweight editor, which includes support for refactoring, debugging, code completion, code navigation, and more (Figure 3). The editor can run Dart programs in Dartium (Chromium with an embedded Dart VM) and in the standalone Dart VM. Developers can achieve a fast edit-reload cycle using the editor, enabling the quick iterations Web developers appreciate. The editor is built on the Eclipse RCP framework, and it works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. An Eclipse plugin is now available.
Figure 3.
The Dart SDK, which is bundled with the Dart Editor, contains three principal tools: the Dart VM (dart), the package manager (pub), and the compiler to JavaScript (dart2js).
Pub is the package manager for Dart. You can use pub to manage third party dependencies for your Dart app. The pub tool currently supports downloading packages from git repositories, and will eventually support downloads from pub.dartlang.org.
You can run Dart apps on the command line using the Dart VM. Your app can use files, directories, and sockets in standalone Dart VM apps. Also included is an HTTP server and client, and a Web socket server and client. One of the goals of the Dart project is to enable end-to-end Dart applications, running on both the client and the server. You can download all the Dart tools from www.dartlang.org/downloads.html.
Other tool vendors are joining the effort, such as the Dart plugin for IntelliJ, built by JetBrains.
Learn More
Dart is open source. We welcome discussion and feedback to the Dart mailing list where engineers and community members chat about the project. Documentation, videos, and downloads are also available at http://dartlang.org.
Some helpful Dart links include:
- The Dart Language Tour is a high level overview of the language
- The Dart Library Tour walks you through bundled libraries
- If you know JavaScript, you'll appreciate this mapping of JavaScript to Dart
- Download the Dart Editor and SDK

Lex Cosmetics
I am starting a cosmetics company with the first product launch being nail polish
Women who love cosmetics and also care about makeup that is good for them. Additionally, these women will like that I donate a percentage of revenue to charitable organizations. So, the cosmetics are good for you and the world.
They are 18-35 years old and are expressive. Confident and independent, they work hard and play hard. She's someone who loves to go out with friends and travel.
I need a logo for the word "lex" . The premier use of this will be on a nail polish bottle and should be modern. I think this line will be similar to NARS, Urban Decay or MAC. Style influences for the logo should be Nambe - modern yet feminine.
I want it to stand out from my main competitors (O.P.I., Essie, China Glaze). Also, "Nail Lacquer" should be be somewhere (maybe below "lex") since it will be used on the bottle.
I would like this to be white since it will be on a bottle against color.
I also want to note that the company's products will be good for the consumer (have benefit like moisturizer and nail strengthener) and i am donating a percentage of proceeds to NGOs. I would love if that could somehow be integrated into the logo.
Thank you!

|Catherine (Melzer) and William Boegel
I posted previously on how information can be wrong in obituaries and Catherine and her husband, William, were the examples I used. I figured that it was about time to transcribe Catherine's two obituaries. One is short, sweet and to the point (and lacking in genealogical excitement) and the other is certainly longer and filled with more detailed information. Sadly, you can see what the obituary looks like for this longer one. The newspaper must have been bound and when they microfilmed it the left side of the obit was a casualty. Catherine's obituary was on the front page of the paper and on the far left side. She was apparently important enough to have her passing make front page news, but the image doesn't do it justice.
As luck would have it the majority of the information that isn't visible in the crease is relative easy to make out, especially when comparing some things between both obituaries. I'm a bit bummed about the name of the city/region in Austria that she was born in was lost in the microfilming process. I haven't done any searching to recover the lost information, but at least I've got a good bit of it. It should help (unless, of course, the information is wrong!).
Catherine and William are my husband's 2nd great grandparents.

Making progress at Reiter Foothills Forest
Thanks again to all the hard-working volunteers who have helped make tremendous progress at Reiter. Find out more about whats going on at Reiter on DNRs blog at: http://bit.ly/9zdN9p
Also, we are moving to the design phase for the 4x4 trail system. We have flagged, on the ground, a rough location of the ATV trunk trail. We need some help from the motorbike community to locate their single-track trails.
Weve started filling out the site-specific documents for the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review process for the ORV trail systems (4x4, ATV and single track). Were also working with Snohomish County on the necessary permit applications.
On the non-motorized side of things: We are compiling the comments from the last focus group meeting and updating the concept maps for the non-motorized trails and hope to have them ready for the June 23 focus group meeting.
At the same time, DNRs recreation programs have been in the thick of grant applications. We are applying for grants that will provide bridges connecting the non-motorized sub-areas. Theres still time to send your support letters to David Way; they are extremely important in the success of our grant application. More information about the grant applications is in our May 5 update.
Whats next?
This Sunday, June 20, were having our regular work party. Some of the things well be working on:
· Repairing damaged fencing.
· Maintaining some of the restoration signage.
· Picking up garbage.
· Sprucing up the recently installed kiosk with some gravel.
· If we have time and GPS devices, well continue motorized trail planning.
Work parties start at 9 a.m. and go until 3 p.m. or we run out of projects for the day. Meet at the Reiter gravel pit outside of Gold Bar.
The next two focus group meetings are scheduled for this Wednesday, June 23 and for July 28. For more information, contact Candace Johnson at 360-854-2803 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
July 3 work party cancelled
Were canceling the July 3 work party due to the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Next work party is Sunday, July 18.
Get involved!
If youre interested in helping at Reiter Foothills Forest, we can always use volunteers to help with restoration work and trail planning, construction, and maintenance projects. For more information, contact David Way, 360-854-2830 or email@example.com.

Hello, friends. Friday is upon us once again, and to celebrate, the whole Giz staff will be hanging around this thread until the end of the day to talk about whatever you want. And there's been a lot to talk about this week—our beloved trans-fats have been damned, New York City's giant mass grave was unearthed, and a crack-smoking Canuck mayor had a few unfortunate camera run-ins.
So have at it. Let us know what's on your mind down below, and feel free to let it get weird. This is a safe space.

French troops will stay in the West African country of Mali at least until July as Islamic extremists there put up a tougher fight than expected, officials have told The Associated Press, despite the government's promises to begin a quick pullout within weeks.
The French government has painted the intervention against al-Qaida-backed radicals in Mali as a quick and limited one, and said that France could start withdrawing its 4,000 troops in Mali in March and hand over security duties to an African force.
But the combat in rugged Sahara Desert mountains is growing harder, and there's a rising threat that the militants will turn to suicide bombings, hostage-taking and other guerrilla tactics.
One French diplomat acknowledged this week that a French military presence is expected to remain for at least six months. Two other French officials told The Associated Press that the French will remain at least until July, when France is hoping Mali can hold elections.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the military campaign.
Any French pullout in March is likely to be small and symbolic, leaving behind a robust force to try to keep the peace in a poor, weak and troubled country, the officials say. Mali was largely peaceful until a coup last year led to a political vacuum that allowed militants inspired by an extreme form of Islam to grab control of the country's north.
France, which is winding down its 11-year presence in Afghanistan, has now spent more than (EURO)100 million ($131million) on fighting in Mali over the past six weeks, and is facing the prospect of another protracted and costly intervention against far-away jihadists.
France's defense minister this week seems to be seeking wiggle room on the timetable for a pullout. And one French diplomat acknowledged: "Nobody believes the French presence will be over in six months." Some analysts say even that's optimistic.
Military spokesman Col. Thierry Burkhard said Thursday that about 1,200 French, 800 Chadian and an unspecified number of Malian troops are closing in on an unspecified number of extremist fighters in a roughly 25-square kilometer (15-mile) zone in the Adrar des Ifoghas range near the Algerian border in northeastern Mali.
The oval-shaped area south of the town of Tessalit is the "center of gravity" of a new French operation involving helicopter gunships, fighter jets, mobile artillery pieces and armored vehicles, Burkhard said. He declined to provide details because the operation was ongoing, but indicated that French fighters had killed about 40 insurgents over the last week or so.
Burkhard said he believes al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb was active in the area. AQIM is one of three militant groups that controlled northern Mali for 10 months before France's Jan. 11 invasion sent them scurrying into rural areas. And he left little doubt that the armed extremists, who have hidden underground or beneath the sparse vegetation, are digging in for a long fight.

) -- "If you want to become a millionaire, start off as a billionaire and buy an airline." So goes the conventional wisdom of airline investing.
>>5 Stocks Ready to Break Out This Month
And for years, that advice has been dead on the money; airline stocks have done a good job of enriching bankruptcy attorneys and few others. In fact, it's difficult to even look at historical airline stock performance in the last decade or two simply because so many have gone out of business. So yes, the conventional wisdom says you'd have to be nuts to own airline stocks.
But as I'm about to show you, the conventional wisdom is wrong this time.
>>5 Rocket Stocks to Buy in November
Why Investors Hate Airlines
Airlines are one of the go-to examples when people talk about cyclical industries. Cyclical doesn't mean straight down, though. Instead, it means that after every painful long-term correction, there's some exuberance to be had. And right now, we're entering "buy mode."
So why do investors hate airlines in the first place?
To be sure, there are some big headwinds in the airline business. First, it's capital-intense. New jets cost a fortune, so there are some big fixed costs that need to get vaulted before an airline can book its first penny of profit. Ongoing maintenance isn't cheap either. The safety record for U.S. air carriers is stellar for good reason: The FAA requires airlines to maintain their planes, pilots and crew to a high standard.
Variable costs aren't much better. Far and away, the biggest variable cost for air carriers is fuel. And with the upward trajectory of crude prices for the last few decades, it's no wonder that airlines have struggled to stay profitable. But fuel costs aren't a one-way street.
>>5 Dividend Boosters That Could Really Pay Off
Instead, airlines have three big weapons they can use against the climbing cost of crude: hedging, fuel efficiency and rate hikes. While hedging has lost favor with many carriers (because it's hard to do right and easy to do wrong), more efficient aircraft and rising airfares have been working hard to boost margins at airlines.
Both of those fixes are slow. Higher efficiency means cutting huge checks for new planes, and airfare increases risk ceding market share to rivals. But both have made a material difference in airline profitability in the last few years.
Industry Changes Are Afoot
Another key trend that's pumping profits into airlines has been industry consolidation. In the last few years we've seen
Delta Air Lines
) swallow up Northwest, United and Continental merge together to form
United Continental
), and
) buy AirTran, in addition to scores more lower-profile combinations of every shape and size.
A proposed merger between American Airlines parent
) and
US Airways Group
) is the latest big-legacy combination to hit the headlines.
Industry consolidations cut costs, they improve efficiency, and they improve airlines' pricing power on their most lucrative routes.
The industry shakeups have been dramatic enough that you don't even need to crack a 10-K filing to see that's true. Instead, just ask a frequent flier with elite status whether it's gotten easier or harder to snag those complimentary upgrades on their trips. Flight occupancy has reached a record-high 80.3% this year, according to IATA.
Today, the planes are more full, and less profitable routes have been eliminated. The end result is bigger profits for airlines. And that's putting record industry revenue within reach for 2014.
A Solid Technical Time to Buy Airline Stocks
Ultimately, none of that fundamental improvement matters if the market doesn't notice it.
But airline stocks have been on fire this year, stomping what's already been a strong year for the
. From a technical standpoint, the
Dow Jones U.S. Airlines Index
looks well-positioned for more upside even following a nearly 85% rally year-to-date:
Airlines spent some time consolidating sideways this summer, bleeding off some overbought momentum after a fast start to the year. But the industry broke out again in the middle of September, and it's just now starting to find its legs again.
Looking at the index from a
basis, we're actually seeing even stronger outperformance over the S&P this quarter than we saw to start the year. That's a very strong signal that now's the time to be a buyer.
So, with all that in mind, which airline stocks make sense to buy?
For starters, individual stocks are your only choice. As of this year, there aren't any more exchange-traded funds that track airline stocks. But I think that just two names offer the best of all worlds in the airline industry right now.
Delta Air Lines
Believe it or not, old-school legacy carrier Delta is the best-in-breed airline stock right now. Delta is one of the country's oldest carriers and one of the largest airlines in the world, with more than 720 aircraft serving 247 mainline destinations globally. And it makes sense to own Delta if only for the stellar execution this company has churned out in recent years.
Delta's margins have become huge. The firm was able to drive 13% of every sales dollar directly down to its bottom line in the most-recent quarter. Even if that feat can't be sustained indefinitely, it's a promising accomplishment nevertheless. Delta's balance sheet leverage is manageable, especially considering nearly $4 billion in cash that the firm currently holds in its coffers.
One of the most compelling things about Delta is that despite its legacy reputation, the firm is actually one of the most diversified names in the airline business. Besides its regular brand, Delta owns a stake in Virgin Atlantic, and it operates a private jet charter business. As revenues climb in 2014, Delta's operational prowess should help it reward its investors the most.
Southwest Airlines
One corner of the market that Delta has yet to crack successfully is discount air travel. The firm's Song brand landed for the last time in 2006, reverting back to mainline Delta livery in an effort to cut costs. Southwest Airlines is still the best low-cost carrier play more than four decades after pioneering the model.
Southwest's point-to-point network to nearly 100 destinations eschews the hub and spoke approach seen at legacy carriers. As a result, consumers looking for direct flights at non-hub locations get considerable convenience by booking with LUV. The firm was also the first to roll out a single-aircraft model across an entire fleet, dramatically reducing maintenance costs and keeping customer experience uniform.
Now, as LUV adds on new, more lucrative routes such as Hawaii, Cabo and Cancun, shareholders stand to benefit. Southwest has historically been one of the most effective fuel cost hedgers as well, something that reduces a lot of commodity risk when it's done right. While there's no shortage of publicly traded low-cost carriers out there, LUV is the one to own.

MIAMI (AP) — A special election has been scheduled to fill the seat left vacant by former U.S. Rep. Trey Radel, who resigned earlier this week after pleading guilty to cocaine possession.
Gov. Rick Scott issued an executive order Friday setting April 22 for the primary and June 24 for the general election. The district includes the Gulf Coast cities of Fort Myers and Naples.
On Nov. 20, Radel pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of cocaine possession and was sentenced to a year of probation. He admitted to purchasing 3.5 grams of cocaine from an undercover officer Oct. 29 in Washington.
Several GOP leaders asked him to resign, but Radel had pledged to stay on and rebuild constituents' trust after completing rehab.
Radel had been in office for 10 months when charged.

TORONTO - The federal government is drawing on the national stockpile of the flu drug Tamiflu to relieve a shortage in the country.
The move comes as many locations across Canada report they are in the throes of an active flu season.
Dr. Barbara Raymond, director of pandemic preparedness for the Public Health Agency of Canada, said the move followed discussions between the agency and the drug's manufacturer, Roche Canada.
Higher-than-expected demand for the drug left the company suspecting it might not be able to fill its orders, so the Public Health Agency agreed to release some of its Tamiflu stock, Raymond said.
"That really unexpected increase in demand — far above other influenza seasons — has really depleted the usual stocks which in any other season would have been more than sufficient," she said in an interview from Ottawa.
"Given that we are still in the midst of influenza season and given that we certainly do not want to have any kind of supply disruption at this point in time, the Public Health Agency Canada ... has elected to work with Roche to ensure that there will be no supply disruption."
The stockpiled supplies will be released to Roche, which in turn will distribute the drug to where it is needed across the country. The company will replenish the national stockpile when it gets a new shipment, likely next month.
Raymond said the amount of stockpiled drug to be released to Roche hasn't yet been finalized. But she said the government is confident that taking this move will not jeopardize Canada's pandemic preparedness position.
Raymond said the flu season so far has been brisk, with many hospital and long-term care facility outbreaks reported.

Book DescriptionThe battle for the World Chess Championship has witnessed numerous titanic struggles which have engaged the interest not only of chess enthusiasts but also of the public at large. The chessboard is the ultimate mental battleground and the world champions themselves are supreme intellectual gladiators. These magnificent compilations of chess form the basis of the first two parts of Garry Kasparov's work on the history of the World Chess Championship. Garry Kasparov, who is universally acclaimed as the greatest chessplayer ever, subjects the play of his predecessors to rigorous analysis.
Volume 1 features the play of champions Wilhelm Steinitz (1886-1894), Emanuel Lasker (1894-1921), Jose Capablanca (1921-1927) and Alexander Alekhine (1927-1935 and 1937-1946). These books are more than just a compilation of the games of these champions. Kasparov's biographies place them in a fascinating historical, political and cultural context. Kasparov explains how each champion brought his own distinctive style to the chessboard and enriched the theory of the game with new ideas. All these games have been thoroughly reassessed with the aid of modern software technology and the new light this sheds on these classic masterpieces is fascinating.
