Exporting Datamonitor reports from Business Source Premier
If you export Datamonitor reports from Business Source Premier into your EndNote library you may need to tidy them up a bit in order to get them to display properly. Here's how to do it:
- Open up the reference by double-clicking on it from the list in EndNote
- Change the Reference Type to Report (using the drop down menu)
- You will need to add an Author, which in this case will be Datamonitor - make sure you remember to put a comma at the end e.g. Datamonitor,
- Add the Year - you can usually find this from the first page of the report
- Add the City - it makes sense to go with the UK office, so it will be London
- Remove Datamonitor from the Institution field and put it in as the Publisher
- Close the reference down and save the changes.
Your reference should now format correctly.
Labels: business source premier, datamonitor report, format, References

|Cathay Pacific uniforms have evolved over the years, but not the skirts
"The stereotype of the flight attendant is very old-style already: looking pretty, full make-up and wearing a skirt. It is a good time to have a revamp of our image," says Vera Wu Yee-mei, chairwoman of the Cathay Pacific Flight Attendants Union, representing 7,200 members.
|Wearing skirts in a cold climate is hardly practical
Oh and also their blouses are on the short side so whenever they reach up, sometimes skin is revealed... it has been an ongoing complaint for years. Doesn't management listen to their concerns? Or was saving money on an extra inch of fabric per blouse an issue more important than someone's dignity?
|Hong Kong Airlines also has a skirt-only rule

The company from Redmond plans to release Kinect drivers for use with PCs in April.
Back when Kinect launched on November 4th, the Internet was abuzz with hackers trying to bust it open and get to the creamy depth-percepting center. The prize went to a hacker named Hector, and he released his hacked drivers for all the world to use. And use it, they did: from MIT robots to jiggly boobs. Initially, Microsoft wanted to shut all this creativity down, but the company quickly backtracked, stating that the USB interface of the Kinect device was meant to be open. Now it appears that Microsoft is making good on its pledge to support engineers fiddling with Kinect by announcing its official Kinect software developer kit (SDK) coming in April. The new drivers will allow tinkerers to interact with the motion sensor, video, voice recognition and depth perception of the Kinect at a much "higher level" than what is possible with the hack.
"We think we're going to see a huge explosion in interest," said Craig Mundie, Microsoft's chief research and strategy officer. "We welcome that and will support it."
Of the switch in policy on Kinect and its hacks, the head of Interactive Entertainment, Don Mattrick said, "This seemed like a great way to build on the momentum, intellect and creativity of that community."
At first, the SDK will be available only for people who don't immediately plan to use the Kinect for commercial purposes, that is, people who expect to make money of Microsoft's invention. A commercial license will be available at a later date, for possible integration into all kinds of applications from general computing to games and, of course, sex simulators.
Well, maybe those guys won't get a license...

Seeing the water fall at Devil's Gulch was cool. We got to see where Jesse James supposedly jumped across the gulch and got away from the posse. We got to walk over the bridge and look around at how deep it was and the terrain.
We stopped at a prairie dog town. It was neat to let prairie dogs come and eat from their hands. You can tell this is the time of year they have their babies as when the mom's stood up you could tell their little ones had been suckling the milk.
We were able to see the different colors in the rock at Badlands National Park. We got to walk on the boardwalk and climb around the rocks. The Badlands formed from the bottom of the river - they are basically sediment that formed on the bottom of the river. They formed hills when rain washed into the rocks and made openings. After a long time it eroded the hills. After a good season of rain a foot of rock can be eroded from the hard sediments.

Uh, happy New Year!
I've been a bit remiss in my posting. Usually I get at least one post out per week but, this season has not been kind to me. At least not as a blogger. It has been a great holiday season for the most part - if you don't count the fact that the airline my Dad worked for for forty years burned to the ground.
The holidays were excellent and relaxing for the most part, and my New Year is promising to be busy until at least the spring. A week from now we do an invite only cast & crew screening of my Ogopogo movie; the next week I move into the latest building in Vancouver to be the 'hippest residence in the city' (a mantle it will bear until the athletes' village opens up for residency after the Olympics) and then... its the Olympics! Hopefully shortly there after there will be other cool film news. But let's face it, all of that is really only tangential to skepticism. I don't tend to get too much into the personal life here, so there's a New Year's tip of the hat into my inner world.
I really do have something to say of skeptical import though...
As the holiday season was ramping up I went for a drink with a friend of mine - my roomate at TAM 7 in fact. He mentioned something to me about asshole skepticism that had never even occurred to me.
An important aspect of asshole skepticism - the truly provocative sort of asshole skepticism - is that it contextualizes the domain of rationalism.
The olive branch skeptic has much more power in a world where there is a good sampling of asshole skeptics. The asshole skeptics push the outer boundaries of skeptical presentation and come off as the extemists of the movement. (And in a sense, we are.) Which then allows the olive branch skeptics to come off as relatively reasonable.
In a sense it becomes an effort of making the fallacy of the Golden Mean work in our favour.
The asshole skeptics dress up our rationality in strident statements that appear to be on the bleeding edge of sanity to the credulites and fundies of the world, so that when the olive branch skeptics come along and appear all reasonable (yet promoting the exact saem agenda) they have a much better chance of coming across well as they are no longer the extremists.
It's an interesting idea. And I think there is something to it, though no doubt some of the olive branchers will still curdle at the thought and toss forth the standard "attract more flies with honey than vinegar" pleas for diplomacy. And it's not that they are wrong, it's simply that the appearance of the message is all relative, and by pushing the boundaries we are making the sweetness of their version the honey, 'cause otherwise it IS the vinegar in many people's eyes.

Probate and Administration of Estates
The Trethowans Private Client team is proud to be recognised as amongst the most experienced and proficient in the field of probate and estate administration. It operates within its own rigorous protocol, ensuring an efficient, cost-effective and comprehensive service across the following areas:
- Obtaining grants of probate or letters of administration where there is no will
- Advising executors on their duties and the risks they must consider
- Undertaking detailed or, if required, limited administration of estates from start to finish
- Negotiating with the Inland Revenue on inheritance tax issues and securing all possible tax savings
- Undertaking all necessary work to mitigate capital gains tax for the estate and for individual beneficiaries
- Working with all beneficiaries including charities and their legacy officers to ensure the availability of all relevant information throughout the estate administration process and their involvement in decision-making when appropriate
- Dealing with post-death variations of wills in order to save beneficiaries inheritance tax at a later date or to reduce the tax payable by the estate
- Dealing with all practicalities when required from registration of the death to funeral arrangements, property clearance, obtaining valuations, re-housing of pets, personal arrangements for those for whom the deceased was carer, supporting and guiding executors and families and dealing with all issues connected with the deceased's property from insurers to utility providers
The service we provide is not only efficient but personal. We will help and support with all manner of issues needing attention at the difficult time immediately after death has occurred and right through the estate administration process.
Our aim is not only to ensure that the legal work and practical elements are undertaken to the highest possible standard but in doing so also to help the bereaved come to terms with their loss. Beyond that we give all necessary guidance to the recently widowed so that they can embark on the new phase of their life with confidence and the knowledge of support.
"May I thank you for your considerable assistance to my mother in her role as Executor for my aunt's estate. I know my mother has much appreciated your kind and efficient approach to the estate administration and to earlier matters relating to my aunt".
(An excerpt from a letter to Trethowans in January 2018, typical of the comments we often receive).
Lasting Powers of Attorney
A lasting power of attorney is a document which allows you to appoint one or more individuals to deal with your affairs in the event that you are no longer able to make decisions for yourself.
There are two types of lasting power of attorney; one that deals with your property and affairs and one that deals with your health and welfare.
Why do I need a lasting power of attorney?
Have you made arrangements for someone to help you with your affairs as you get older? Have you made provisions for someone else to act on your behalf in the event that you are no longer in a position to deal with your affairs yourself?
A property and affairs lasting power of attorney is the only way to ensure that you retain control of matters, as it means that you decide who will act for you and do the best for you, rather than leaving it to the court to decide who will make decisions about you and your finances.
A health and welfare lasting power of attorney is a separate document that can allow you to appoint someone who you trust to make decisions on your behalf about your medical care and physical well-being when you are no longer able to speak up for yourself.
Lasting powers of attorney can only be prepared whilst you are well enough to understand the documents and therefore need to be thought about carefully long before they are actually needed.
If an application has to be made to the court to sort matters out because you have become unwell and you do not have either document in place it could potentially lead to an outcome that you would be unhappy with if you were aware of what was going on.
It may be that you never need it at all, so in some ways it is like an insurance policy, but is gambling on your future a risk that you would want to take?
When do I need to put a lasting power of attorney in place?
The sooner you put a lasting power of attorney in place, the better.
The documents can only be made when you still have the mental capacity to do so therefore you should consider taking the action to prepare the document long before you will actually need it; it is not possible to create a lasting power of attorney after you have lost your mental capacity.
If an individual becomes unable to handle their own affairs and does not have an enduring power of attorney or a lasting power of attorney in place, it is possible for the individual's family to make an application to the Court of Protection. The Court will then appoint a deputy to manage their property and financial affairs.

The 2011 Budget was one of a surprising lack of urgency and a demonstration that Government really does not understand, or is choosing to ignore, the magnitude of what faces us. There was little to generate more growth or to capture more gains for New Zealand and the cuts were underwhelming. The biggest problem with the Budget was that there was yet again no shift in the emphasis of our economy towards the tradable sector. Without a major shift to tradeables, and more cuts in spending, we will be forced to borrow more and risk the destructive impact of the increasing cost of credit as the world increasingly worries about lending to New Zealand.
The Government's approach was backed by numbers from the Treasury showing strong growth over the next few years. The problem is the Treasury has been predicting this for a while now.
Each Budget the 'growth rebound' gets pushed out by another year. This puts the Government's 2011 Budget on shaky ground. If the economy grows as forecast then public debt remains sustainable, but if we see another year or two of low growth then New Zealand's Government debt could blow out to Ireland and Greece levels, and New Zealand's borrowing costs will compound the problem.
The graph below from the Budget shows that the tradable sector has contracted since 2005.
Traded/Non-traded Sector Growth
Budget 2011
This changes the outlook for growth as there is unlikely to be much export pick up with the exchange rate where it is at the moment.
Real Exchange Rate Index
Budget 2011
Real GDP numbers have slumped as a sustained high currency level has taken its toll.
This leaves the question how can growth in the tradable sector be restored? The allocation of an earthquake fund and the changes to foreign bank taxation will deliver some benefits, but reducing incentives to save seems to act against the Government's stated intentions. The partial asset sales of Solid Energy and Air New Zealand will also help but the sale of natural monopolies is more debatable. In any case the $5 to 7 billion quoted is fairly immaterial against GDP over the forecast period.
To achieve higher growth the Government needs to:
Much more effort in these three areas would start to address New Zealand's economic underperformance. The OECD, the IMF and the Government's own working groups have agreed that a step change in policy is needed; tinkering will not get the job done.

Young Coimbatore - Young Photographers - Le memorie
- Written by Coimbatore news
- Be the first to comment!
Photography, ya we again found a team of young Coimbatorians who have different eyes to see. Their click has an feel, and an touch. Continue read about them,
Ok, what are you guys, how you came together?
We are The Memory Writers. We got together via a mutual friend, who is also a photographer with similar tastes as us. We bonded well right from our first meet. Our discussions went on from formal introductions-to- how to do this-to- types of cameras used-to places travelled –to- what movie to watch next and what not. All, over a cup of coffee.
Memory writers, how many memories have you captured?
We have so far recorded 37 wonderful ones both in India and abroad through our camera-eye and we hope to keep increasing this number.
There are many capturers, how different are you guys?
We are different because we are a family. We completely understand the emotions that a family goes through and we try to capture all of them. We will also get married some day you know, we have our own dreams on how our wedding should be shot and so will each couple who want us to shoot their golden moments. Our bond with them helps us to understand what they want from us. Also, our relationship with our clients just does not end with the shoots. We keep in touch with each one of them. We make it a point to wish them personally on their anniversaries and the happiness that they express in return makes all the effort worth it. We have our own way of portraying emotions and that is what sets us apart from the rest.
What type of cameras have you tried?
We have used all sorts of cameras! They range from vintage cameras to mobile phone cameras to digital cameras to dslrs! The vintage Twin Lens Reflect is our favourite. It gives us the feel of good old film roll times.
What do you think is the best part of a person's life?
Every time there is a genuine, happy smile from the heart, it is the best. Nothing else matters when there is happiness. Nothing can stop one if they have the courage to face all their hardships with a smile.
What do you really miss in capturing?
We miss capturing all the happy moments of the clients we cannot take on because of our busy schedule and clashing dates! We really feel bad that we are missing out on those beautiful moments. But, we are working on it and we will soon not miss anything!
Let us know the fun that you can't forget.
Selfie is the new thing in town, so we take selfies of ourselves in almost every shoot that we go. Those are own souvenirs from each of the weddings we go. Those are our little memories that we cannot forget.
How do you see the world?
The world is our oyster. We love to travel when we are not busy with wedding shoots. There are so many things to see and so many things to experience. We want to see all of it before age becomes a factor for us to consider.
What about your future?
We are young and our future is what we make. Our dreams are different and we have no idea what the future has in store for us. But we know one thing for sure; we will always be creating memories.
Message for young photographers of Coimbatore.

As you jet away for the Easter break, are you one of those sitting on a packed aeroplane lamenting the glory days of aviation?
With more of us flying than ever before, demand for low-cost airfare has pushed many airlines to look for ever more ambitious ways to save costs and pass them on to the consumer.
But has this really led to worse travelling conditions? Many people would say yes, but knowing what we do about commercial airliners, we're taking a closer look and debunking some of these myths.
Air safety
Air travel is the safest form of transport known to man. There were 1.25 accidents for every million flights last year.
However, back in the 'good old days' air travel was quiet a risk. The 1950s and 60s saw around six fatal crashes a year in the US alone.
There's no doubt that despite the huge rise in passenger numbers, it's far safer getting on a plane today than it ever was in the past.
The price of your ticket
In the 'good old days' a ticket from London to New York would cost the average person their annual salary. That's why you didn't see many 'average people' on aeroplanes.
Today, a return ticket to JFK Airport from Heathrow will set you back just 1% of an average persons' salary. Modern air travel has opened the skies to millions of people.
Comfort on-board
On the face of it, the days of classic air travel where streets ahead of today. Many cabins resembled 5-star hotels and three-hour long boozy lunches were the norm.
However, smoking was commonplace, and the cabins were thick with tobacco fumes.
The other main issue was a lack of pressurised cabins. Until the early 1960s pretty much all aeroplanes were propeller driven, bumpy and
prone to being forced to land during bad weather.
Today's cabins are not only more protected from outside conditions, but also filled with entertainment such as WIFI and in-flight entertainment channels.
Speed of air travel
We recently saw the first non-stop 17 hour flight from London to Perth.
Compare this to the 1940s, when a flight from Brisbane to London could take up to two weeks and include 43 stops.
And don't forget that we are also about to enter a new age of hypersonic air travel. You'll be able to travel from London to Sydney, faster than it currently takes to fly from Gatwick to Malaga.
Glamour, style and sophistication
Ok, so we have to hold our hands up here! Flying used to be a luxury experience for the well-heeled only, and as such it was a much more glamorous affair.
When people flew in the past they wore their best outfits. It also wasn't uncommon to see ladies' poodles with their own seat.
It's a far cry from today's cabins, packed full of tracksuits, trainers and tank-tops. Travellers dress for comfort not style.
So, there you have it, despite being lumped in with hordes of other travellers, you have to admit that today's air travel experience is faster, cheaper, safer and less boring than that fabled golden age of air travel. Blue chip airlines like BA and Virgin may have had to change their approach to deal with competition from the rise of budget airlines, but on the whole we have more choice, more comfort and more convenience. That has to be something to cheer you up as you file through the sheep pen with your shoes in one hand and belt in the other on your next flight.

SteemSports Presenter: @dwin0603
SteemSports Editor: @theprophet0
There are speculations that his relationship with the front office has never been good. They say James believes that the General Manager should consult him or make him a part of every single decision they make and when things don't go James' way, the situation tends to heathen up. There are also rumors that James has had it with Cleveland and he is now ready to leave Cleveland and opt-out of the last year of his contract. Right now, all of these are all speculations. Nobody knows what LeBron truly wants and what he feels, but some believe that he should leave. And now we're going to discuss the reasons why should LeBron leave Cleveland again.
Cleveland's roster is getting old. LeBron is playing his 15th NBA season and he is turning 34 years old. Also, Kyle Korver, JR Smith, Jose Calderon, Jeff Green, and George Hill are all in their 30's. I believe LeBron should find a team that can surround him with young talents to take some load off him. He is not getting any younger, but he's still playing a lot of minutes. It's not easy for a 33 year old to play a lot of minutes for 82 consecutive games.
Cleveland is a good team, offensively, but they are lacking defense. LeBron is a great defender especially in the playoffs, and he is also a great facilitator. But, he needs more than purely shooters around him in order to take the team to the top. The Cavaliers don't have those defensive minded players right now. The Philadelphia 76ers can provide him what the Cavs are lacking. Not only the Sixers, but there are other teams that will give him a better shot at another NBA Championship including the Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, and even the Los Angeles Lakers. These teams are younger and more likely to dominate for a very long time, especially the Sixers with Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid and a great supporting casts.
LeBron James is only thinking about getting his 8th straight finals appearance right now. He is focused only on winning, but the Cleveland Cavaliers' front office looks like they are ready to move on if LeBron decides to leave the team. Acquiring young players in Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr., and Rodney Hood, as well as owning the Brooklyn Nets' pick which is expected to be a top 5 pick. LeBron should let them know that they need him more than he needs them; because there are many teams that would want the services of the Best Player in the world.
Thank you for following @steemsports and you can find me @dwin0603.

California Historical Landmarks in Calaveras County
California Historical Landmark 266
Jenny Lind
Main and Alley Streets
Jenny Lind, located on the north bank of the Calaveras River, was a placer mining town as early as 1849. Most of the placer mining was done along the hillsides above the river - later the river was mined with dredgers. In 1864 the population was said to be 400, half of them Chinese.
Citation from California Office of Historic Preservation
We were unable to locate a California historical landmark plaque for Jenny Lind, but we did find a small marker erected by the Native Daughters of the Golden West to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Joaquin Parlor No. 5.
Settled in the 1840's as a flourishing gold mining, cattle ranching and farming community. Dedicated on the 100th anniversary of Joaquin Parlor No. 5, Stockton, Native Daughters of the Golden West.
April 4, 1987
Some Missing California Plaques
When we visited the following sites, we were unable to locate a California commemorative plaque.
At some sites, it appeared that a California plaque had never been erected. At other sites, there was a base, but the plaque itself was missing. Some sites without California plaques had other historic markers, but they did not note that the site is a California Historical Landmark.

First Apples of the Season
3 comments:
I remember those apples. When they crack like that they have gone to mush - much like moist sand. When not overripe they are very juicy and firm, tart and good. Sadly my one lone apple fell off the tree before it was larger than a golf ball, but the blueberries limbs are weighted down!ReplyDelete
I have never seen apples do that before! But we don't have apple trees here to pick early apples from anyway...very interesting.ReplyDelete
Thank you for stopping by recently and leaving a comment!
I have a yellow transparent. The first year I lived here I couldn't figure out why all the apples were dropping before they seemed ripe. :) They are fantastic for baking and I also dry a lot. Very small crop on my tree this year.ReplyDelete
Thank you for visiting. I love to hear what you are thinking, so leave me a comment. If you have questions leave those as well and I will address them here or in an email response.

eXp Realty Commission Splits & Fees
Many of you have heard about all that eXp Realty has to offer their agents – from powerful lead gen tools to dozens of weekly training classes – but you also want to make sure that the broker splits and fees are better (or similar to) your current real estate brokerage. In the following video, we do a deep dive into the eXp Realty commission splits, annual cap and any monthly or annual fees. There are also comparison charts, based on your level of production each year. The best part of this video…. find out how you can create multiple revenue streams that will allow you to earn more so you can keep 100% of your hard-earned commissions each year!
If you have any questions after watching the video, please don't hesitate to reach out to us! Call Kerry Lucasse at 404-432-1844 or 404-205-8801.
Overview of the eXp Realty Commission Structure
Notes from the Video
Basic Fees & Splits:
eXp has a $99 start-up fee, which includes your business cards, presentation folders, website set up and your first monthly fee. On an annual basis, there is a $420 University Tuition fee that is taking out of your first eXp Realty commission check and includes 20-25 hours of live classes each week, guest speakers, workshops and on demand training. Every month, it is just $50 to be an agent at eXp Realty!
There is an 80/20 commission split until you hit your $16,000 annual cap. For those of you that aren't familiar with a "commission cap", that just means that once you've paid the brokerage $16K, you keep 100% of your commissions for the remainder of your anniversary year. Once you've reached the cap, there is just a $250 transaction fee for the next 20 transactions and $75 after that. In order to keep your monthly costs down, eXp elected to charge your E&O (Errors and Omissions) Insurance by transaction. You just pay $30 per sale until you reach $500 (17 sales). The remainder of the year is no cost. There is also a $25 broker review fee.
Agent Savings:
In the video, we also looked at what real estate agents would take home at the end of the year versus a typical brokerage. For the typical agent with $80K GCI, they would save about $4,400 per year with eXp. For top producing agents in the $300K GCI range, the savings averaged about $54,000. See the full example of the eXp Realty commission / fee breakdown in the video above.
How to keep 100% of your real estate commission:
eXp Realty offers some fantastic opportunities to earn additional income that will help you recoup any splits or fees you paid to the brokerage over the year. The first option is the EXPI Stock Awards where you can receive stock awards for your first transaction, hitting your commission cap and introducing someone to the company. There is also an ICON Agent Program that allows top producers to receive their $16,000 cap back in EXPI stock. You just have to sell 20 homes after capping or earn at least $500K in GCI annually. The third way that you can earn additional income is by attracting other agents to the brokerage and participating in the revenue share program. You'll not only receive 150 shares of stock*, you can also earn 3.5% of whatever your sponsored agent sells until they hit their $16K cap. If you bring 6 cappers to the company, you would earn $16,000 in revenue share… every year. This program creates an environment where everyone wants to help one another succeed… and it's working!
Have questions about the eXp Commission Plan or awards?
Call Kerry Lucasse anytime at 404-205-8801 or 404-432-1844.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not an official eXp communication and the information is subject to change. EXPI stock awards can vary based on the number of agents at the company (per chart in the video) and the stock price fluctuates daily. The ICON Agent Award qualifications may also change from year to year, so before joining our brokerage, please ask for the latest copy of the offerings, awards, and benefits!

NY Times: Horror Genre At Apex
By Robert Marich
Oct 27, 2017—A New York Times article points out that horror films are riding high at box office, accounting for $733 million in domestic box office year-to date. By my calculation, that's 8.5% of the total for the U.S./Canada--not bad for a narrow genre whose releases have restrictive audience classifications.
Says the article: "Even with two months remaining, 2017 has already become the biggest box office year ever for horror. Scary
Horror is a narrow genre, but its films are inexpensive and soaring at the modernt boxoffice
movies have collected $733 million in ticket sales, according to the website BoxOfficeMojo. The runaway success of It (more than $300 million and counting) and Get Out ($175 million) led the way, but October is a golden month for horror and will surely add more to that tally. Happy Death Day was No. 1 when it opened this month (on Friday the 13th), and a new entry in the hit Saw franchise, Jigsaw (due Oct. 27), should also raise the total."
The article recounts horror hits in prior decades; its analysis covers films rated R-restricted audience. Theatrical films with less restrictive audience classifications aren't particularly gripping, so R-rating is a good criterion.
My complaint about the article is its metric of lump-sum box office number does not account for inflation, like a percentage of total box-office that is a proportion of the whole.

Bra Sizing Guide
It is estimated that about two thirds of women in the UK are wearing a bra that is the incorrect size for them.
Breast size can change significantly over the years, especially before and after pregnancy, breastfeeding and weight loss or gain. There may also be a general redistribution of our weight as we get older.
The following guide will give you an idea as to your bra size. However, it is just an approximation and will not work for all women - you will also need to try a bra on to make sure that it is comfortable for you.
|Bra Stop
- Bras in big sizes, Brastop specialise in cup sizes from D to J (with some stock at size K) at discounts of up to 60%.
- Celebrate your curves with bras, swimwear and tops /clothing with built in bras in sizes from 28D to 40L including all the measurements and DD, E, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH, J and K in between!
|Glam Outlet

|Less Bounce
- Sports bras including the Berlei Shock Absorber for every size, shape and sport.
|Lingerie Please
- Same day despatch on lingerie and sports bras, free delivery if you spend over £40.
Measuring your bra size
Take the measurements over the top of a bra that feels comfortable to you.
Note that the above cup sizes are approximate and can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Use the above table as a guide only - it is not set in stone. Also, some manufacturers of sizes larger than DD have different labelling conventions, replacing FF by G, G by H etc - check with the manufacturer concerned what their cup size labelling convention is.
Checking your bra fits correctly
The above measurements are just a guide. You will still need to try one or more bras on to guarantee a perfect fit. Here are some problems with bras and possible solutions:

It is a sad fact, but we probably all know someone who would qualify as a "deadbeat" parent. Although it is usually associated with a parent who fails to support his or her child financially, that term can also apply to a parent who fulfils financial obligations but never spends any time with the child.
Some of these children get lucky: the custodial parent meets and marries a new spouse who willingly takes on the responsibility of supporting his or her stepchild both financially and psychologically. But in that relationship, something is still missing. A stepparent has no legal rights to his or her stepchild without taking some sort of legal action in court. The first step in this process is known as termination of parental rights of the absent parent.
If the stepparent wants to legally adopt the child, the absent parent's legal status must be legally terminated. Legally, a child can only have two parents. So the stepparent can't just file to adopt the child before one parent agrees, or is forced, to step aside.
In some situations, the absent parent may willingly agree to the termination. After all, a parent who no longer sees the child probably doesn't want to continue to pay child support either. Legal termination and adoption by the stepparent relieves the natural parent of both of these obligations.
Sometimes even a parent who has shown no interest in the child for some time may decide to rise to the occasion once the petition for termination is filed. For whatever reason, whether fear of public opinion, a sudden attack of consciousness, or even just a vendetta against the other parent, a fight may ensue. Texas law provides for the possibility of a termination of parental rights even against that parent's wishes if certain criteria are met and the court finds that it is in the best interest of the child for the termination to be ordered.
If you are a parent whose child has been abandoned financially or psychologically, or both, by the other parent, and your new spouse is interested in making the child legally his or her own, an attorney with experience in stepparent adoption can help walk you through the process, whether the petition launches a legal battle or not.

No one stage of life is more important than the next. At Fox Run at Orchard Park, we help you plan for your next steps – wherever your journey may lead.

How Lifecare Works
Consider Lifecare a practical way of delivering long-term care insurance. Our most popular plan provides peace of mind and coverage every step of the way.

The Monthly Service Fee is subject to change each year upon operational cost reviews and NYS approval.

¡Hola y Bienvenidos!
Hello and welcome!
Let me open with a truth. Studying abroad is scary, it is terrifying, it is mind blowing, and it is, to date, one of the best decisions I have ever made. This is my story.
Where I am from:
– The great twin cities, Saint Paul, MN. Love it or leave it.
Where I go to school and what the heck I am doing there:
– The University of Iowa, in Iowa city, Iowa. (creative name right?!) Studying Spanish and Economics.
Why Palma
– for more reasons than I can count, but mostly because it is a small program intensive program which allows me to both complete and internship AND take regular university courses. Here are ten additional reasons why I love CIEE in Palma de Mallorca.
Why Blog about it?
- Remembrance: It is often said of me that I could loose my wallet in my pocket or my glasses on my face (I've done both) so this is my way to remember all of the things I want to do and hopefully all of the things that I will do and all the things I have done.
- Family: I have many families, large and small, given to me and chosen, however most of them share something in common, an interest in keeping in touch. Hopefully this will help me touch many people at the same time.
- To Help: I did a lot of research when I looked into studying abroad and I found that the number of study abroad blogs out there astonishing. However, the program in Palma I will be studying with is tiny, so I found only one blog about the island. I want to share that unique experience with future students.
Buen Viajes.

FIRST ON THE BLOG: If you're looking for a great morning newscast to watch in Southwestern Georgia with the latest news, traffic and weather to start your day off right, then don't go or even look for WFXL. As of last week, it's over.
As of Friday January 22nd, WFXL 31 has stopped and discontinued airing its 4-hour weekday morning newscast, previously known as FOX 31 News – Good Day. The newscast was previously on from 5:00-9:00am and was home to the area's ONLY 4-hour morning newscast as well as the ONLY local morning news from 7:00-9:00am. However, as of this week, it's no longer the case and the only local morning news on the air for the area is long-time leader WALB 10 (NBC/ABC)'s WALB News 10's Today in Georgia and WSWG 44 (CBS/MyTV/CW)'s WCTV Eyewitness News Daybreak at 5:00am and WCTV Eyewitness News – The Good Morning Show at 6:00am, even though the newscast comes from WCTV 6 (CBS/MyTV) in Tallahassee, making WALB 10's morning newscast as the ONLY locally-produced morning newscast in Albany and Southwestern Georgia.
This is what WFXL 31, in a sort of small but official statement, had to say on Facebook last Friday about the reason for cancelling Good Day:
"We hope you were able to join us for this morning's finale of Good Day.
We want to take a moment to thank everyone who has been a part of Good Day, from our guests who shared their stories with us to all of the viewers who joined us every morning.
FOX 31 will still be here to bring you the news that matters to you and the rest of south Georgia. You can always find the latest news on WFXL.com, the FOX 31 mobile app and FOX 31 News at 10."
Brian Perkins, WFXL 31's News Manager said about this to one responder on Facebook and potentially hints the reason as to why the newscast was cancelled:
"Unfortunately, it was difficult to produce enough compelling, relevant, local content over four hours each morning. So we're refocusing our efforts on doing great reporting that can be found on FOX 31 News at 10, WFXL.com, and our FOX 31 mobile app."
So there you go. Not enough content for 4 hours. They've could've shortened it to two hours from 7:00-9:00am and kept the morning newscast. But oh well, all is now lost.
So there will no longer be a Good Day in Southwestern Georgia. It sucks, but for now, we must move on.

I would re-sub to the game if the sub fee was 9.99 still have issues payin 14.99 for this game.
I would re-sub to the game if the sub fee was 9.99 still have issues payin 14.99 for this game.
I would consider it too. But now that Salem has gone beta, and I got a key, I am not sure. That game looks to offer quite a bit, with a much smoother interface.
I checked that game out, nothing special
Umm guys you do realize, that they are like that on purpose right??? These games are not for everyone it is for people who do not want there hand held, and for them to find out how to play themselfs, Not to be rude I hate to see you kids or young adults which ever play games in the 80's and 90's, they where no hand holding or these tutorials that people so need today..
Not trying to troll you either, just makes no sense to me why people today like this so much, to me thats NOT gaming.. but what ever floats your boat, there is games for people who like that kind of stuff its called GW2, WOW, Rift, SWTOR etc.
Sandbox's are for people who are tired of the same ol' stuff we see time and time again.
Thats my 2 cents
To the Op, so because of 5 bucks you won't resub, its less than a lunch and MCdonald's, sometimes I wonder that people can afford to have gaming as a hobby . This free to play market makes me laugh, and to many want games for free and expect DEVS that bust there arse to work for nothing... Being in Game design I know the hard work they/we put into this, and for people to whine over a few bucks amazes me every day.
The game is 40 bucks where most games for 50-120$ So you saved money, they also let you go on the Test server when hardly any company allows that after you Unsub.
PS:F2P is not really F2P..... Most people see the word free and go nuts, and think its free , when alot of people end up spending more then a money sub...in the end that is...

I understand people think it's a lot of money for the game, i think to, and yes Riverspirit there there are many places you can be entertained for the same amount, will not name the games.
I do not think that they will lose money on putting the price 50% down, because I believe they will get more than 100% new players.
And then they have say on the front that the game is not fully developed, so people dont expect more than they get.
I love this game, and I will happily pay the price for playing it, not because I think the game is worth it, but because I want to support the project.
as long as they stick to the style and they do not mix magic into the game and they stick to one server world, love sandbox games.
I understand that, I am a BIG sandbox player and fan. But this game is just not what I am looking for anymore. I cant say I think Xsyon is bad, its not, its just not what me or my guild were looking for. I have since moved on back to Starquest Online because that sandbox is what I am looking for, if only it had an active development team it would be perfect. But unfortunately it is on its way out due to greed, and legal issues with the owner.
But it is considerably cheaper than Xsyon and I find that worth it in itself. Its the price tag of Xsyon that is turning it off from many players. Its just to expensive for what your getting. Sure its 50cents a day, but when compared to Salem which is free, and SQO which is 35c a day, or any of the half dozen other sandboxes that are f2p or pretty close. And with "A" list titles due out by the end of the year, like Repopulation, PS2, MWO, and others I can tell you that many companies are moving to the micro transaction method of payments, which is turning out to be a win win for many gamers.
See, I'm as right as you are. It's just a subjective statement depending on the eye of the beholder.
"idk looks like snow to me" Unclean
"Only a game would assume I'm that stupid" Azzym
Hodo if the game you are playing charged a nominal fee maybe they would still have an active development team like Xsyon. Lets face it, Nothing is Free! I believe Xsyon has been very smart in their approach to development. When you have a limited budget, you work within that budget and develop in stages while keeping the bills paid so you don't have to close your doors like so many (Most) other small development companies have done.
I will happily keep paying as long as Xsyon continues to show the professionalism and customer service they have provided all along.

Facebook Becoming the Next Search
While search engines are continuously locking horns with each other a new phenomenon in terms of search engine optimisation or specifically in the field of developing virtual communities and in the field of online advertising. This phenomenon is the rise to popularity of the different social media networks. The social media networks such as Facebook have been developed primarily to connect friends and college buddies who are not already on the same geographical location, but because of this bridging of space and time through the internet social media is starting to become a big hit among internet users.
According to a survey conducted, Facebook, a type of social media network, have been leading the survey in terms of being the top source for internet traffic . This means that social media networks are effective in driving traffics to and from the target website. It is because of this result from the Web measurement firm called Compete Inc. that Facebook is now being considered by many SEO companies and SEO consultants in utilising it's benefits or capabilities of driving traffic to the target website. It is because of these benefits that search engines have developed their real-time search feature which would include but not limited to microblogs or tweets and even comments and posts in the website.
It is because of the social media network's aim to develop virtual communities that information is then easily passed. It is because of this reason why traffic is seen to be easily sourced from social media networks. With the help of virtual communities you are able to call for a market catalog or is able to create an avenue where you could start to market or "recommend" the product or services being offered online by the target website. Since communities are formed through interests it is imperative that the product being promoted to them must also be inline with their website's line of business. Relevance is still the key in order to become a force to reckon with specially in the field of search or in social media networks.

Gino Vallante has taken his development as a leader seriously throughout his career as a real estate agent and property professional in the San Diego area. Gino Vallante has found success by focusing on creating new opportunities for himself and transitioning into new leadership roles whenever possible. Opportunities to take your professional development as a leader to the next level don't come along every day. You have to be ready to take advantage of these opportunities when they come. Here are three key leadership development keys when transitioning into a new role:
- Learn new skills.
In order to prepare yourself for a new leadership role, you have to be willing and adept at taking on new challenges and learning new skills. Being good at sales is great, but until you can prove you are a good manager, you'll never be in line for that promotion. Take the lead on smaller projects and try to manage a team of professionals so you can prove yourself ready to take the next step.
- Be uncomfortable.
Whenever you take a step in a new direction, it won't feel comfortable. That's okay. That's normal. Taking a step out of your comfort zone and take that step in stride. No amount of professional leadership development is comfortable and easy.
- Ask for help.
In any good organization, there would-be mentors waiting in the wings for less experienced workers to ask them for help. Gino Vallante asked for help from the more experienced salesmen on his staff and learned from them to develop his own skills and get on the fast track to leadership development.
Gino Vallante earned an Ethics Certification from the California Board of Realtors.
