Required counseling by:
- Financial aid appeals
- Student judicial review
- Dean
- Faculty
Career Counseling
- Changed degrees several times and are still unsure of the best one for you.

- Managing responsibilities
- Adjusting to or from college
- Self-esteem
- Motivation
- Assertiveness
- Managing stress and anxiety
- Crisis management
Early Alert Program
How do struggling students benefit?
The Early Alert program is a collaborative effort between professors and advisors to help students who are at risk of failing one or more of their classes at HCC. Faculty members submit an early alert through the Student System to an Academic Advising Office. The early alert will then be assigned to an academic advisor who will make contact with the student to provide services to improve students' performance and success in reaching educational goals.

Compare cheap flights to Guinea
Guinea is located in West Africa and is a former French colony. Recently, it uses the name Guinea-Conakry to be distinguished from other countries like Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. The country is also the world's leading exporter of bauxite, comprising 25% of the world's supply. Aside from its rich mineral resources, the country also boasts breathtaking natural resources.
The beauty of nature
From rivers, hills, highlands, mountains and falls, almost all forms of natural wonders can be found in Guinea. Though Guinea doesn't have national parks, tourists can still enjoy these places, especially the Tinkisso River near Mali and the Fouta Djalon highlands.
The hidden cave
A more exciting adventure awaits you at the Kakimbon Caves that can only be accessed via public boat. Local Baga people consider the cave sacred. Yet, it is important to bring a guide with you for your safe trip at the caves.
Indeed, big surprises come in small packages. This country is a proof to it. Visit Guinea now and book your ticket via Skiddoo.

I worked as a medical staff but I shared virtually in many battles that took place from north to south of Iraq, the more important battle is the liberation war of the Faw-district recovering again to the Iraqi authority from Persians in 1988, closely I saw all of the taken place battles there.

ReferenceError: Use before delaration (Edge) ReferenceError: can't access lexical declaration `X' before initialization (Firefox) ReferenceError: 'x' is not defined (Chrome)
Error type
What went wrong?
A lexical variable was accessed before it was initialized. This happens within any block statement, when
let or
const declarations are accessed before they are defined.
Invalid cases
In this case, the variable "foo" is redeclared in the block statement using
function test() { let foo = 33; if (true) { let foo = (foo + 55); // ReferenceError: can't access lexical // declaration `foo' before initialization } } test();
Valid cases
To change "foo" inside the if statement, you need to remove the
let that causes the redeclaration.
function test(){ let foo = 33; if (true) { foo = (foo + 55); } } test();

|Safe Haskell
Formalizes and proves the following theorem, about arithmetic, uninterpreted functions, and arrays. (For reference, see http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/z3/fmcad06-slides.pdf slide number 24):
x + 2 = y implies f (read (write (a, x, 3), y - 2)) = f (y - x + 1)
We interpret the types as follows (other interpretations certainly possible):
- x
SWord32(32-bit unsigned address)
- y
SWord32(32-bit unsigned address)
- a
- An array, indexed by 32-bit addresses, returning 32-bit unsigned integers
- f
- An uninterpreted function of type
The function
read and
write are usual array operations.
Model using functional arrays
type A = SFunArray Word32 Word32Source
The array type, takes symbolic 32-bit unsigned indexes and stores 32-bit unsigned symbolic values. These are functional arrays where reading before writing a cell throws an exception.
thm1 :: SWord32 -> SWord32 -> A -> SWord32 -> SBoolSource
Correctness theorem. We state it for all values of
y, and
the array
a. We also take an arbitrary initializer for the array.
Model using SMT arrays
type B = SArray Word32 Word32Source
This version directly uses SMT-arrays and hence does not need an initializer. Reading an element before writing to it returns an arbitrary value.

Cathy Crosby, a CFCA board member, joined Walk2gether during the last leg of its journey through Chile. Here is her reflection on the nearly 8,000-mile walk through 12 countries to show solidarity with those living in poverty.
"La palabra es gratitud." (The word for the day is gratitude.)
CFCA President Bob Hentzen's words gathered us in a circle hours before dawn in the rain, the morning of Walk2gether's last day.
Cathy Crosby
Dead birds and dry riverbeds along our route had offered silent witness to the plight of the people.
Gratitude for the rain underscored our thanks for months of safety, the gift of one another, and most of all the countless gifts from sponsored friends and their families.
Connection, connectedness and unity (not uniformity) are threads woven through my Walk2gether experience.
These words hint at, but fail to capture, the profound interconnections that are the heart of CFCA.
CFCA and its Hope for a Family sponsorship program are built on loving relationship, beginning with Jesus' love for his heavenly Father, his earthly parents, each person he encountered, and extending to all of creation.
As a sponsor, I have been privileged to travel to Guatemala and Kenya to be with my sponsored children and their families. That relationship is foundational. Our prayers, letters and photos keep us connected.
Walking is a powerful reminder of our connection to our earth as well as one another.
When walking in darkness or slippery mud, we must take care with each step, often directly in the footsteps of the walkers in front. Those following will step into our footprints.
In daylight we share creation's countless small gifts: a lingering wildflower, a spectacular cloud formation.
Gravity grounds us and binds us to our planet, yet our spirits soar as each mile unites us as companions on our life journeys.
A sliver of fingernail moon, waves crashing over the seawall, distant mountains and huge sand dunes: these images integrate each physical step with an awareness that our careless misuse of God's gifts contributes to the burden of our sisters and brothers living in poverty.
The rhythm of our days made walking sustainable and enjoyable. Our initial hours of silent walking offered the perfect time for prayer and reflection.
Approximately every 3 miles (5-6 km) we met smiling, clapping CFCA-Chile staffers and bountiful refreshments. Fruit, cookies, coffee, tea and a few surprise treats sustained us each morning.
A 30- to 45-minute break let us care for our feet and chat with one another, sharing Walk2gether and our stories.
One of many daily miracles was a hot roadside lunch by Chilean mothers on tables set with colorful tablecloths, real plates and utensils, even including dessert!
The love with which they prepared and served our meal nourished us as much as the food.
Our days ended by nightfall, and our efforts were rewarded with God's glorious sunsets. The evening meal let us relax together, anticipating the next day and resting in gratitude for this one.
Bob's wife, Cristina, and her granddaughter walk during the last day of Walk2gether.
Walk2gether offered me the opportunity to visit Edna, a bedridden but lively elderly woman, sponsored by a friend of mine for 13 years.
We brought my friend's photo into the room, and our conversation about her allowed her to be present with us in a palpable way.
The sponsor-to-sponsor connection was another highlight. We shared stories of our sponsored children and aging, our growth in faith through sponsorship, our sharing of the CFCA story with others in multiple ways.
Both Kansas City and Chilean staff walked with us; seven countries were represented along this final leg!
Several of Bob and (his wife) Cristina's family members accompanied us, and their strong bond graciously included all. The joyful commitment of Bob and Cristina's young grandchildren powerfully reminded us of our connection to CFCA's future and the many still waiting for sponsorship.
Gratitude. Reflecting on my Walk2gether experience will continue for the rest of my life.
I'm grateful for the countless gifts by families, staffers, and Bob and Cristina's profound witness to Jesus' love, through joining my steps physically and metaphorically with so many others.
I hope to continually expand and deepen my awareness that sponsorship "is about walking together not just with your feet, but with your heart."

The great river-courses which have shaped the lives of men have hardly changed; and those other streams, the life-currents that ebb and flow in human hearts, pulsate to the same great needs, the same great loves and terrors. As our thought follows close in the slow wake of the dawn, we are impressed with the broad sameness of the human lot, which never alters in the main headings of its history--hunger and labour, seed-time and harvest, love and death.

Sen. Schumer endorses Hagel for Defense secretary
- Chuck Hagel picks up key endorsement from New York Sen. Charles Schumer
- Schumer says he met with Hagel for 90 minutes
- Endorsement smooths way toward confirmation for Hagel
Defense secretary nominee Chuck Hagel picked up a key endorsement Tuesday from U.S. senator and Democratic leader Charles Schumer.
"Based on several key assurances provided by Senator Hagel, I am currently prepared to vote for his confirmation," the New York Democrat said in a statement. "I encourage my Senate colleagues who have shared my previous concerns to also support him."
While Hagel is a former Republican senator from Nebraska, some current Senate Republicans have opposed his nomination by saying he has been too critical of Israel and not critical enough of Iran.
Schumer, the Senate's No. 3 Democrat, had declined to endorse Hagel, but said the nominee allayed concerns during a 90-minute meeting that took place Monday at the White House.
The endorsement likely smooths Hagel's path to confirmation in the Democratic-run Senate.
In a written statement, Schumer said that Hagel "expressed the need to keep all options on the table" in confronting Iran over the means to make nuclear weapons.
Hagel also said he supports "Israel's right to retaliate militarily in the face of terrorist attacks by Hezbollah or Hamas," Schumer said.
"Regarding (Hagel's) unfortunate use of the term 'Jewish lobby' to refer to certain pro-Israel groups, Senator Hagel understands the sensitivity around such a loaded term and regrets saying it," Schumer said.

Modern Slavery Act
Aggreko is a global business serving customers in over 80 countries worldwide. We supply power and temperature control equipment to businesses and homes around the world.
We have three business units. Our Rental Solutions business provides power, heating and cooling in developed markets. Our Power Solutions business provides power, heating and cooling to emerging markets for customers with longer-term power needs. Our Global Products and Technology business is responsible for our product lines which are common across both the Rental Solutions and Power Solutions businesses, including renewables and storage offering, as well as power adjacencies such as temperature control and loadbanks. We build our equipment at our manufacturing facility in Dumbarton, Scotland and we service and maintain all of our equipment internally at our hubs and depots around the world.
We work with a number of major OEM suppliers for the main components of our equipment. We also procure a wide range of goods and services from a variety of suppliers across the world to maintain our equipment and to support our business.
Aggreko takes its social responsibility seriously and is committed to conduct our business in compliance with the highest ethical values. We apply high employment standards across our business, complying with relevant employment, health and safety and human rights laws to ensure our employees are safe. We have a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery.
We have reviewed our employment practices across our business and we have not identified any practices in which our workers are:
- forced to work through mental or physical threat;
- owned or controlled through mental or physical abuse or threat of abuse;
- de-humanised, treated as a commodity or bought and sold as property; or
- physically constrained or whose freedom of movement is restricted (eg. through the retention of passports or movements tracked).
We have regular site visits by management and we conduct regular opinion surveys of employees in which any relevant concerns could be reported. We also have an anonymous, confidential, external whistleblowing hotline in which concerns can be reported. We have not received any reports in 2018 which would raise concern that any such practices exist within our business. Our HR teams are alert to flags which could signal concerns relating to modern slavery and understand how they should report any concerns of this nature.
We also expect our suppliers to adopt a similar approach in relation to the protection of workers. Our Supplier Code of Conduct sets out the minimum standards we require from all suppliers to Aggreko. It specifically requires our suppliers to comply with workers' fundamental rights and that their workers should:
- be paid in compliance with local laws;
- not be required to work more than the maximum hours of daily labour;
- be free to form or join a workers council; and
- not be subject to any form of forced, involuntary or debt bonded labour.
All new suppliers are required to confirm compliance with these standards. As part of our risk assessment in relation to potential modern slavery risks we identified as high risk suppliers those suppliers which are (i) located in countries where there is a higher prevalence of modern slavery according to the Global Slavery Index 2016; and (ii) provide unskilled labour; security services; cleaning services; or OEM goods. . In response to this risk assessment we have required all existing suppliers which fall within these high risk categories to confirm compliance with the standards set out within our Supplier Code of Conduct.
We continue to monitor modern slavery risks and controls across our business and will respond appropriately if we consider the risk in any areas of our business to have increased.
We are providing training to all employees on modern slavery risks in 2019 and we will continue to monitor modern slavery risks and controls across our business. We will respond appropriately if we consider the risk in any areas of our business to have increased.
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. This statement constitutes our Group's slavery and human trafficking statement for the financial year 2018 and details the approach adopted by Aggreko PLC and all subsidiaries of Aggreko PLC including Aggreko UK Limited and Aggreko International Projects Limited. This statement was approved by the Board of Directors on 24 April 2019.

Alex Eyler is an artist and a Lego enthusiast. In my book, that makes him awesome. One of his biggest obsessions is movies. This week, in honor of the 83rd annual Academy Award nominations, he released images of the 10 films nominated for Best Picture done up in Lego bricks and custom minifigs. Just look at little Jeff Bridges and his scowl. So cute!

Towner Art Gallery are pleased to announce that German artist Lothar Götz will transform the exterior walls of the gallery into a large-scale, colourful geometric mural this summer.
Götz, who is based in the U.K., was chosen from 60 artists and designers from an open call for the Brewers Towner Commission to create an artwork to mark the 10th anniversary of the gallery's move from its original home in Eastbourne's Old Town.
The Brewers Towner Commission is part of a year-long programme celebrating ten years in the Towner building, which opened in 2009 after the gallery moved from its original home in Eastbourne's Old Town.
The Brewers Towner Commission is a painted commission that will encompass all rendered facades of the award-winning building, which was designed by Rick Mather Architects. This exciting public artwork will be made possible with the support of Brewers Decorator Centres, with the company aiming to spark conversation and support artistic practice in Eastbourne, where the company is based, and beyond.
Drawing on its architecture, angles and unique exterior recesses and alcoves, Götz's mural – his largest to date – will envelop the length and width of three sides of the award-winning building.
Götz's work – typically large-scale paintings, drawings and installations that respond to existing architectural structures – has included commissions for South Bank Centre, London (2014) and Leeds Art Gallery (2017). This will be his first major commission on the south coast and the first time an artist has been commissioned to create an artwork for Towner's exterior.

Jair Jurrjens SP - $6
these guys are locked in for me, my last untouchable player is either:
Kevin Youkilis - $16
Ubaldo Jimenez - $16
You have to have 23 active players in the league, 9 pitchers and 14 offensive players with a salary cap of $260.
would appreciate some input on whether I should lock up Youk or Ubaldo. whichever one doesnt get protected in my initial 9 is going to be on my next tier, but I have a bad feeling the guy I dont protect is going to be taken.
A Little Help Please??

The methods of landscaping steep slopes and hillsides must simply address creative ways to hold the property in place. And while designs may vary depending on location, materials, and other circumstances, the basics are pretty much the same for most. Some basic methods will hold or simply cover the soil and others will be more elaborate and dependent on other principles
For instance in Coon Rapids Mn , if deep rooted ground cover plants are used without any retaining walls or support, the method of watering will need to be adjusted much different than that of flat or terraced ground. So the survival of ground cover plants and lawns on hills and steep grades will also require different considerations for proper watering.

Landscaping Design and Ideas - landscaping services near youIn order to start a outbound telemarketing strategy for your landscaping business you should begin with creating a script that will work. It is almost always preferable to create your own script according to principals which work rather than using a canned script you obtain on the web. There are numerous reasons behind this among them: You appreciate your prospects and the requirements much better than another script creator ever will. A script made for your unique product or service is going to sound better than a general script which prospects could have listened to from other companies. You can have the script give you just the important information and fit your offering accurately.Even though it is crucial that you use a script made just for you there are numerous tactics that can be used to increase conversions. Quick scripts are usually the most effective telesales scripts. The potential customer has to know why you are contacting them and why they should be interested within several second of getting on the phone. Get to the point promptly, do not go with the full sales pitch on a first call, keep with the essentials. Keep the aim of the call in mind when creating the script. If you are producing a lead or setting an appointment that should be the goal of the call. Don't add anything that doesn't need to be included, it will only annoy the potential client and your conversions will be affected.This is the basic format you can follow:Hi ____________, this is NAME calling from Landscaping Company. We're currently providing landscaping services to several of your neighbors, our company is offering free quotes for home owners in the area. We offer full services such as.... and low cost affordable full service plans to homeowners.Rebuttals to common questions: I understand you already have a service but we guarantee to beat any rate, and we offer additional services such as... I know its a little early to be thinking about landscaping, but we can give you a quote and lock in a much lower rate for the entire season than you'll get if you wait until May. That's great, I just need to verify we have your information correct: I have your name as... and your address as... and your phone number... What is the best time for you on DAY?Thanks for your time and just to confirm we'll be stopping by on DAY/TIME to take a look at ____ and get you a quote on having some work done. Have a great day.When you have a good finished script developed you shouldn't be hesitant to try to make improvements. It can call for some changes based on the telemarketer's feedback to get things running smoothly after the calls start to be made. You will also want to come up with answers to questions that prospects may ask during the call.
While the majority of elements discussed here focus on the erosion control and planting of hills and sharp grades, there are also other elements that may need consideration. In some instances, access may be necessary up and down the side of the lot and so of course there will be a need for stairs or steps. This directory has a lot of great ideas and pictures of stairs and steps that can be used in landscaping and garden.

Energy Engine
We are brand new to 99 Designs and look forward to meeting the best of the best! We have lots of collateral requirements but for now we need a corporate logo.
Energy Engine is a brand new professional services energy consulting company that helps business reduce their electricity and natural gas rates in all deregulated markets. Energy rate reduction is all we know and the only thing we do.
The name of the company is formally Energy Engine Inc. however we are marketing our efforts as our tradename which is Energy Engine. Our brand should reflect PROTECTION, TRUST and SECURITY.
Our management team is young and in their mid thirties. Our leadership board is made up of more senior business owners, executive managers and academics to help provide credibility to more senior decision makers in larger firms. The logo should be professional however our communication and marketing approach is going to be very retail focused.
Our competitors have weak identities and their messaging is chalked full of technical and financial content. We don't like this!
We want to communicate our message with simplicity and clarity, but most of all, we want our logo to be different and a cut above the rest.
Please use our tag line in your submission: reduce your energy rates
The logo should print well on white space, and should include horizontal and vertical layouts. Horizontal is most important.
Our energy rate reduction services can be utilized by all businesses including small, medium and large consumers, however, our target customer is medium sized businesses.
We define medium sized businesses as a hotel, property management firm, manufacturing company, car wash, national chain of retailers, etc.
The decision makers in the companies that will use our services are COST CONTROL MANAGERS for larger companies or BUSINESS OWNERS for smaller companies. In the past, these primary decision makers were older accountants and financiers (50-60 years old) that were very analytical and conservative. What we have found is that many Generation X (mid 30s to early 40s) now are responsible for making cost management decisions so we want the best of both worlds...an identity that embodies professionalism (protection, trust and security) but is still stylish, sleek, polished and has that twinkle that subtly elevates us above the rest.
Using cartoons or clip art would be catastrophic.
Main logo:
Energy Engine (no incorporation moniker)
reduce your energy rates (this is the tag line)
Once complete we may require about 2 other variations of the logo at no cost (horizontal and vertical)
Project Requirements:
The Mark or Emblem: This emblem will be used as our aesthetic throughout our collateral on web and print materials.
The type face or font: Try not to use an irregular font that is difficult to find or has to be purchased.
The name ENERGY ENGINE is powerful so all caps might be important. Others tried in small caps and softened the image so much that the power of ENERGY ENGINE was lost.Maybe it could work?
The colors:
They have not been defined so create them for me!
Be creative here.
Do not use just 1 color.
You can 1 color but 2,3,4 variations of it in the same pallet.
I will a need a vector and jpg of the logo and the specific details of the colors you selected whether they are RGB or Pantone.
For those about to rock we salute you!

I have the exact same problem. Now with 2 Batteries! All this happened in the last few days. My batteries are arround 52% and 57% charges. The Power Manager indicates that my battery condition is poor and that
"A battery error has occurred. The battery cannot be charged. Replace the battery."
I've been using these 2 batteries with no problems for the last 6 months. 3 days ago, suddenly, while playing a 3d game running on batteries, the computer just turned off and It wont turn on with the battery, just with the AC adaptor. Orange battery indicator also flashing all the time.
I thaught that might be only a defective battery and I was planing to send it back to Lenovo for waranty replacement.
But then a couple of hours ago, using the other battery, the exact same thing happened. I was playing the same game (World of Warcraft, by the way) and suddenly the computer turned off, and I now have a second dead battery.
Can this "battery fuse" mentioned in the thread go off because of heating? I mean, the computer does heat a bit when playing games, but really nothing to worry about. Is it possible that the battery fuse is so sensitive?
I've read a post in some other board regarding a "procedure to manually drain the battery in Lenovo computers" which supposedly can help revive dead batt. Is this true?
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem. Maybe I've found a cheap, quick, easy solution.
The flashing orange light started with the original battery. I thought, "OK, I need a new battery," although it seemed awfully premature.
My wife has the same laptop with an almost new battery. I tried her battery and the flashing continued.
I ordered a new "compatible" (non-Lenovo) battery and the flashing continued.
On Monday, I phoned Lenovo tech support. The rep guided me to some updated power management software. If the software didn't work, the problem was likely the "system board," he said, adding that the system board fix would cost nearly $500.
The software did not correct the problem.
The prospect of shelling out $500 makes me become very resourceful. I suspected all along that the various batteries weren't making proper contact with the brass prongs sticking out the rear of the laptop. By pulling or tilting the battery I could sometimes get the charging light to go from blinking orange to solid green.
I found a rectangular piece of piece of clear plastic clinging to the back of the laptop above the contacts. The contacts are mounted in a dark plastiic plug.The clear plastic piece is about a half-inch long, 1/4 inches wide and less than an eighth of an inch thick.
I pried down the plastic plug so there was a gap above it and wedged in the clear plastic, lowering the contacts a few millimeters.
When I plugged my battery in, the light immediately went to green.
I prefer neater repairs than is. But what the heck was that clear plastic doing there in the first place. Did the manufacturer discover a misalignment with the battery contacts and stick on the clear plastic to fix the problem? Was the clear plastic wedged in originally as I have done, or simply placed above the contacts, as I found it? Was the plastic wedged in originally, knowing that this was a fix that was bound to fail?
I'm not particularly proud of the repair I made, but at least I've got a laptop with a rechargeable battery.
I have tried other batteries in my Laptop and they work perfectly, I have also tried my batteries in other exact same model laptops from people in the office and they don't wotk. The problem is in my batteries.
I'm starting to consider the battery fuse theory much more seriously. Is it possible that the battery fuse broke because the PC was demanding too much power from the battery? I was using a high resource-demanding game.
Anyway to me this looks more as a design defect than a battery/software issue. I mean, I was not using some dark piece of software in my laptop, I'm using Windows Vista and a game that 10 million people arround the world use daily.
Any ideas?
Kalep. Whatever the problem, we shouldn't be having these issues with a reputable computer brand such as Lenovo.
Surely, it's a design flaw.
I discovered today that my wife's Z60t battery won't work in my laptop, despite my crude fix described in the earlier post. But at least I have my "compatible" battery with a green battery light and a full charge.
I've ordered a seven-cell Lenovo battery which is supposed to be shipped July 10. Now I'm having second thoughts. It might be a waste of $185.

Zengrits, Kalep,
It seems you have two different problems, although both are giving you similar symptoms of a battery no connect.
It sounds like you had a mechanical fit issue - without seeing the system, I'm unsure about whether the plastic parts you are describing were originally part of a guide to ensure the battery made solid connection to the contacts. It sounds like you have accomplished this though, and resolved your trouble. Congrats.
It sounds like you could have a fuse that has opened (blown). This fuse is a safety mechanism, which will open under a number of conditions, often in the case when some of the cells in the battery become too different in charge capacity. In a worst case scenario, this would be the result of an internal short, so the fuse opens to prevent the battery from further charging / discharging, and limits the possibility of damage to the system from the battery. While this can occur at some point in a batteries life, like tires or brakes on your car wearing out, Lenovo has worked closely with it's battery suppliers and put in place some extended battery warranty programs.
Click here to visit the service page and see if yours qualifies for replacement.
I note a number of Z series Thinkpads listed on the last two lines of the table, so it is possible you have one of these batteries. Check your FRU number on the battery and visit the site link above.
Only the following battery FRU part numbers are affected by this issue and eligible for replacement with this web tool:

B2Media necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 85 diseños de 23 diseñadores freelance.
B Square Media (also as B Squared Media)
Based in Australia, B Square Media is a consultancy that offers companies marketing and business services around traditional and new marketing methods such as social media.
We are young and dynamic and present our information in clean, simple to understand language. We believe that everyone has the right to learn and understand technology and marketing principles without feeling intimidated or like they have to spend a lot of money to educate themselves.
Our Primary auduence are SME (small to medium sized enterprises) and are operating in traditional spaces - service provides like accountants, lawyers etc. Our secondary audiences are people who are entrepreneurial and traditionaly spend more time working in their business than on their business.
There is not a specifc gender skew and assume 35+
We require a logo that will best represent our brand - we want it to be simple and clean but not look like it was created in Powerpoint.
It can be represented as B Square Media and B Squared Media (we are currently working on this securing this variant of business name) or B2 media (with the 2 in superscript), and ideally we would like to see both variants. We would be interested to see options for both.
It needs to be 'fluid' - it will be used on our site, for ppt presentations and in print.
We are open to suggestions about colour - we want our logo to 'pop', without blowing someone's head off. We would like to avoid the standard corporate dark blue and would prefer dark purples or dark greens.
We would like the logo to have an element of iconography which can be used in conjunction with the logo but also in isolation to represent the brand (like the apple for mac's)
If possible, we would also like an icon (different to the logo) that we can use as our 'helpful hint' alert - might be a geeky gadget or a siren or something (have a look at the "Dummies Guide" to anything books for how they indicate a helpful hint). We dont want to copy theirs but it gives you the gist of how it would look.
Also if possible, we would like a 'ribbon' . It is a design element which we can use in ppt or in other documents that is really either the bottom or the top of a page (similar to a border or a frame).
This is a clean slate - we have no brand basis to work from so the world is your oyster.

On May 3, 1972, the day following the sudden death of J. Edgar Hoover, Richard Nixon appointed L. Patrick Gray III to be acting director of the FBI. It was a job he would hold for just 361 days.
Watergate cut it short. The infamous break-in happened just six weeks into Pat Gray's tenure, pushing him onto the cover of TIME Magazine, the dust jacket of All the President's Men, the only innocent man there.
Thirty-five years have passed since those tumultuous days. "Watergate Affair, 1972-1974" is now a standalone category in the Library of Congress catalog system. John Ehrlichman's icy suggestion to let Pat Gray "twist slowly, slowly in the wind" has been enshrined as a familiar quotation. At the center of it all was Pat Gray, and for all those years he kept his silence.
Until now.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Party Rental Company Subjected Black Employees to Racial Slurs, Federal Agency Charges
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today that Pinnacle Amusements, Inc. of Charlotte, N.C., violated federal law by subjecting black employees to a racially hostile work environment. Pinnacle Amusements is a family-owned business that specializes in corporate, school, church and private party amusement rental needs, such as slides, moon bouncers and other inflatable party products in the Charlotte-Metro area.
According to the EEOC's complaint, for six years, Benjamin Henderson, a driver and warehouse employee, and other African American employees were repeatedly subjected to unwelcome derogatory racial comments and slurs. These epithets included the "N-word," as well as racial jokes by one of Pinnacle's owners, who was also the company's owner / vice president. According to the EEOC's complaint, Henderson complained about the racial harassment, but the owner / vice president ignored his complaints, telling Henderson that he was "just joking," or that Henderson was a "tough guy" and could handle the racial slurs and comments. Henderson also complained to Pinnacle Amusement's co-owner, who is the company's president. Despite Henderson's complaints, the racial harassment continued, the EEOC said.
Racial harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition, Title VII makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment because of his race. The EEOC filed suit (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Pinnacle Amusements, Inc., U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, Civil Action No. 3:10-cv-00065) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement. The agency seeks compensatory and punitive damages for Henderson and other African American employees, as well as injunctive relief.
"The evidence presented to the EEOC indicates that one of Pinnacle Amusement's owners created a racially hostile work environment which Mr. Henderson and other black employees endured in order to keep their jobs," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District Office. "It is this agency's mission to eliminate discrimination in the workplace and we will vigorously prosecute cases like this."
Tina Burnside, supervisory trial attorney in the Charlotte District Office, said, "Racial harassment in the workplace will not be tolerated. This case was especially distressing because this owner subjected a black employee to racial slurs, considering it a joke. Discrimination is not a joke – it's a violation of federal law."
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

What is the current understanding of the effects of television or other digital device screens on your sight or your child's sight?
These can be computer screens, smart phones, tablets, and similar devices.
While complaints of eye fatigue and discomfort are common among digital device users, these symptoms are not caused by the screen itself. Digital screens give off little or no harmful radiation (such as x-rays or UV rays). All levels of radiation from computer screens are below levels that can cause eye damage such as cataracts.
Digital screens do exposure your eyes to blue light. Blue light exposure you get from screens is small compared to the amount of exposure from the sun. And yet, there is concern over the long-term effects of screen exposure because of the close proximity of the screens and the length of time spent looking at them. According to a recent NEI-funded study, children's eyes absorb more blue light than adults from digital device screens.Learn More
Fatigue, dry eyes, bad lighting, or how you sit in front of these screens can cause eyestrain. Symptoms of eyestrain include sore or irritated eyes and difficulty focusing. You may also have symptoms of eyestrain if you need glasses or a change in your glasses.
You can help prevent eyestrain by making changes to your workspace and by visiting your eye doctor. Here are a few suggestions on how to make your workspace more comfortable:

Stevens Undergraduates Present Research on Reducing Back Pain
Lower back pain is the second most common cause of disability for adults in the United States. Faced with the rising number of individuals suffering from the condition, undergraduate students Emily Noonan and Hanna Sidoti at the Stevens Institute of Technology will be presenting their research on the effects of whole-body vibration on lower back pain at two major conferences in 2013.
"Emily and Hanna demonstrate how Stevens undergraduate students are conducting substantive research that strives for genuine societal impact," says Dr. Michael Bruno, Dean of the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science. "We congratulate Ms. Noonan and Ms. Sidoti on these accomplishments so early in their career, and we look forward to seeing what they achieve in the future."
Emily and Hanna are presenting posters about their research at the annual meetings of the International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery (ISASS) and the Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS). The students conducted the research as part of the Stevens Innovation and Entrepreneurship Summer Research Program, under the direction and supervision of Dr. Antonio Valdevit, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering. "Over the course of ten short weeks, Emily and Hanna were very productive, and their hard work resulted in important contributions to the field of orthopedics and have shed some light on possible causes related to low back pain," says Dr. Valdevit.
Whole-body vibration is a growing concern, especially among those in the transportation and traffic industries such as truck drivers or helicopter pilots. Extensive exposure to whole-body vibration has harmful effects, particularly to the spine. The spine consists of individual bones called vertebrae that have small joints located between the disc and behind adjacent vertebrae called facet joints. These joints provide stability to the spine while preserving flexibility needed for mobility. The deterioration of facet joints can result in considerable back pain. Emily and Hanna studied the response of facet joints in the lower back to elevated frequencies of vibrations.
Diagram of a Facet Joint
The undergraduate scholars exposed bovine vertebrae, which are analogous to human vertebrae, to loading frequencies of 5Hz, 20Hz, 40Hz, and 80Hz. They then computed and analyzed the net deformation. The results provide a mechanical representation of the facet joint responses to high frequency vibration conditions and may be a basis for determining individuals who are at greater risk.
Emily and Hanna conducted the research together in the summer of their freshmen year. Emily Noonan's interest in prosthetics led her to enroll at Stevens and explore the field of biomedical engineering. "I am inspired by the opportunity to improve the quality of life for individuals who have lost a limb," says Emily.
Hanna Sidoti is a biomedical engineering major and plans to attend medical school and work in the orthopedic field of sports medicine. "With this major, I will receive a more in-depth education. It will be very beneficial to study biomedical engineering to learn the mechanics within orthopedics," says Hanna. As an active student athlete, she is also a member of the accomplished Stevens Varsity Women's Soccer team.
