Familiar: year-long print campaign (class project)
For our midterm in my Advertising Creativity and Copywriting class in Fall of 2014, we were broken-up into small groups to develop a year-long ad campaign for Odell Brewing Co. My team put forward several ideas eventually deciding upon print as our most effective medium. We focused the ads on the artwork of painter Normal Rockwell for his iconic American style and recognizable image. Though we understood Rockwell was not known by name by our Target Audience of young males ages 21 to 35 we took the risk knowing that the images would still resonate with that particular group as well as expand the brand to a larger demographic or perhaps allow it to set up a future campaign.
With the images being the centerpiece of our ads we chose a minimalistic style of copy, using just headlines as well as Odell's logo and a rotation of beers for each month to connect the message between the images and the message of Odell.
As the campaign developed we focused on two words that would become integral to the process and design: 'nostalgic' and 'togetherness.' As we researched our client, we found that Odell's already long established brand and an air of quality of vintage or well-aged. This matched well with our design in both content and message. What we felt we added to the existing brand was the idea of 'togetherness.' The year-long campaign focused around holidays and its natural companion of family and community.
The above images are a class final design project by Spencer Gillard as part of a larger group presentation.

Collecting Profits Software
Collecting Profits is a software developed for trading binary options online automatically. In other words, without need of any knowledge or ability to understand financial trends and investment systems. This type of software is called a trading robot, or bot, and it allows you to earn money from the high payouts offered in binary trading. Sign up and open an account through the Collecting Profits site.
Is Collecting Profits Safe?
Binary options is a high-reward/high-risk investment that allows you to receive up to 95% yields within minutes. Of course, there is risk involved, but the Collecting Profits algorithms were designed to lower your risk and increase your profit margin.
Yet another aspect of the safety of your investment is working with a reliable company. In that sense, Collecting Profits is completely safe, because it only authorizes fully regulated binary options platforms to use its software. Each month, one licensed broker is recommended by the Collecting Profits developers. Nowadays the chosen company is OptionWeb, known as the largest and most trustworthy company in the industry. OptionWeb is under the supervision of the CySEC financial authority in the European Union, and is therefore totally safe. Offering multiple benefits, such as a welcome cash bonus, OptionWeb is a serious corporation, and a leader in the online trading markets. Obviously a safe choice for you, and the type of corporation that will accompany you once you open your account.
One of the flaws of similar automated robots is that they are not careful in choosing a company that will protect the investment of its clients. In that sense, Collecting Profits has made sure to guarantee that your funds are in reliable hands.
How does Collecting Profits work?
To succeed in binary options trading clients need to correctly predict the outcome of transactions with short term expiry . Within fifteen minutes, a 100 dollar investment can turn into 180. If the prediction is incorrect, the money invested in the specific option is lost.
In such circumstances, there are two facts that stand out as the keys to achieving success:
- The best way to earn money from binary options trading is a consistent level of accuracy
- The ultimate goal is a formula that generates correct predictions
This is where Collecting Profits comes into play, and modifies the risk and odds in your favor. Using advanced algorithms and high tech tools, the software is able to follow the stock markets and analyze its activity in real time. By cross-checking data and historic trends, the Collecting Profits service is able to recommend trade results which you can activate simply by clicking on the highlighted trade.
Collecting Profits Testimonials
Another reason to trust Collecting Profits is the growing number of traders that have approved this tool and the results it brings. Collecting Profits can be used by you even if you lack any experience in online investing. Nonetheless, professional traders who have turned binary options into their main source of income are always looking for new signal services and trading strategies to improve their results.
A review of Collecting Profits users testimonials reveal that this software, which was developed for Australian traders while considering their investment profile, is able to indeed create profit and a regular income. Of course, even then, it is imperative that you always take into consideration the risk factors. No financial derivative can offer such high gains unless it involves certain volatility and is speculative in nature. Yet the early success of Collecting Profits is a strong indication that it is worthwhile to start using this free trading software.
What are the risks of trading online
For an investment to be able to offer yields of 75% in average, it must be accompanied by a level of risk that includes the total loss of the invested funds. Therefore, one must treat such an opportunity in a realistic way and understand that there is also the possibility to lose the money that was invested.
Therefore, you should make a calculated risk and invest amounts of money that you can afford to lose. Then again, it is possible to avoid loss by following some basic risk management guidelines:
- Never remain in a trading session if you have lost more than 20% of your capital
- Preferably exist the trading platform if you have achieved a 10% gain
- Use regulated brokers only
- Improve your odds using innovative trading tools
That is why Collecting Profits is such a helpful addition to your trading strategy. With it, binary options have become the perfect venue for creating an additional income and improving your finances.
Binary trading basics
Even if you are completely new to online trading, Collecting Profits allows you to make money. The main reason this is possible, besides the simplicity of the software and its user-friendly interface, is the structure of digital trades.
The steps necessary for trading options are defined and remain always the same:
Choose an asset, define and investment value, and make a prediction.
Binary options assets are divided into four categories: stocks, indices, currencies and commodities, and if you have no idea how to select one over the other, do not worry. Collecting Profits can perform this step for you.
The value you invest in each trade can be determined by the size of your account. If you open a 1000 dollar account, trades of 50 euro each should be just about right. Yet you can start by making a 200 dollar deposit and slowly work your way up to the larger numbers.
The last stage is the one which involves using the power of Collecting Profits. The software, which does not require downloading, highlights the recommended result on each individual trade, so that all you need to do is click on the highlighted option and wait for the results and ensuing profits.
Collecting Profits Newest Version
Another important factor for a software to be efficient is keeping up with market developments and innovations. Collecting Profits is constantly researching ways to upgrade its algorithms and formulas, and in June 2015, it has launched its new version.
The new Collecting Profits software continues to offer some basic qualities that make your life easier:
- It does not demand downloading or installation
- It is automatically incorporated into the trading platform of the broker with which you open your account
- It suggests trades for all types of options
- It is completely free of charge
While the changes to the Collecting Profits upgrade might not be visible, they are very relevant. With new technology and a massive improvement in the speed at which it collects data in real time, this software is mastering the art of predicting trades, and offering you the best chance of earning money online.
Algorithmic Trading Advances
Algorithmic trading is the name given to the transactions performed as a result of mathematical calculations performed by software. This type of procedure is very common in all facets of financial markets, and has grown significantly in the binary trading field. The main benefit of algorithmic trading is the improved results it can attain in predicting the evolution of markets.
Collecting Profits has always been an algo-trading software, yet now it has incorporated the most advanced type of technology: artificial intelligence. This addition to the already precise Collecting Profits software has transformed a great product into a constantly ascending mechanism.
With its new feature, Collecting Profits now analyzes not only stock market data, but also its own performance. It is capable of verifying what was its degree of success and calculate why certain trades were incorrectly prognosticates. Most importantly, it then retouches it own formulas, to lead them to better results, based on its developing experience.
Collecting Profits Australian Profile
Collecting Profits is the only binary options automated robot programmed and built to serve the Australian markets. It was tested to perform at its best during the peak periods of Australian online trading hours. It is also the only such software to execute trades and predictions involving multiple Australian assets, as well as the local currency, of course.
Obviously, the trading platform offers assets according to availability. Although the best brokers in the business, those associated with Collecting Profits, have more than 100 different assets on their list, not all these stock, commodities and indices are available for trading at all times.
The reason is simple: for an asset to be made available, the stock market carrying this specific asset must be open and functioning. Thus, during those hours in which European or American stock markets are closed, the amount of trades that can be performed diminishes.
Unless, of course, you have opened your account with Collecting Profits, which as was explained, was developed for Australians. While the full scope of availability also depends on the broker, you are ensured a better chance of success when using a robot devised for succeeding in this geographical location.
How to open an account
Opening an account with Collecting Profits is easy and fast. This is a software, not a platform provider, so the account itself is opened and managed through a regulated binary options brokers. You do not have to worry about selecting the broker. Just go to the Collecting Profits site and start the signup process. You will be automatically redirected to the suitable broker where you will make your deposit. The minimal value is 200 dollars, although 500 dollars will give you a better chance of benefiting from the various features offered by Collecting Profits.
Once you open your account, you can immediately access the trading platform, where you will see the highlighted trades, indicating that the software is already working and suggesting the best opportunities for you. Although it is smart to follow these suggestions, remember that you are always in full control of your investment, and can choose to manually operate the platform, disregarding the predictions being made by Collecting Profits.

Without a doubt, water blasting is one of the more dangerous aspects of Bodine's business, which has the most potential for life-affecting injury. Bodine regularly utilizes water pressure from 10,000 to 40,000 PSI in its maintenance services. Water blasting equipment has sufficient pressure to cut through reinforced concrete and every available protection utilized.
The high-pressure water-cleaning industry remains a relatively new business. Outstanding advances have been made in the cleaning equipment used to perform the job and Bodine has made use of all available technology in protective equipment, automated lancing machines and back-out prevention. As a part of a comprehensive plan to make water blasting as safe as it possibly can be, Bodine has incorporated the Turtle Skin personal protective suit to its safety requirement to reduce the possibility of injury.
Turtle Skins are the most effective PPE available for water blasting to date. No material that can be worn by a person will withstand a sustained stream of high-pressure water and enable movement required to complete the work activities. The Turtle Suit is a protective garment that protects the front of the body including the chest, forearms and legs. The suit is designed to protect against a non-sustained "quick swipe" of water up to forty thousand PSI. The suits are expensive and have to be replaced regularly due to the environment in which they are used. However, the reduction of one injury more than justifies the purchase, use and inconvenience of wearing the suit.
Bodine is the only industrial maintenance contractor in central Illinois to incorporate the use of Turtle Skins into the blasting process. The suits are believed to equal the blaster itself with regard to importance in the success of a job and safety. Projects will not be performed without either of their use.
Bodine does not believe that Turtle Skins are the final solution to protect our employees. The company will spare no expense investing in the safest products available in our industry to protect the employee, reduce our injuries and offer the best service possible. Bodine will continue to explore and utilize every technological advancement available and require their mandatory use to ensure the safest work environment for our employees. Our employees are our biggest asset and deserve every safe-guard available.

There's a lot of disagreement among scholars as to the circumstances under which the Tao Te Ching was first recorded.
I am fortunate to know the real story.
It was November 11th 1975, just outside the Icelandic port of Seyðisfjörður. Lao Tzu, a very old man, decided to die in the sea, somewhere between Iceland and Great Britain, commenting quite profoundly on the senselessness of the third cod war.
At one point, he was spotted in the middle of a graceful backstroke alongside a lengthy fishing trawler with 81 people aboard.
The people all lined up along the starboard side to see this ancient bearded Chinese man swimming effortlessly in force nine gale winds.
To each crew member he issued personal and relevant wisdom.
To the eleventh person lined up against the guardrail on the starboard side of the ship, he recited the following passage:
Thirty spokes will converge
In the hub of a wheel;
But the use of the cart
Will depend on the part
Of the hub that is void.
In the hub of a wheel;
But the use of the cart
Will depend on the part
Of the hub that is void.
With a wall all around
A clay bowl is molded;
But the use of the bowl
Will depend on the part
Of the bowl that is void.
Cut out windows and doors
In the house as you build;
But the use of the house
Will depend on the space
In the walls that is void.
So advantage is had
From whatever is there;
But usefulness rises
From whatever is not.
When he had spoken briefly with all 81 members of the crew, he swam further into the ocean and died. The third cod war ended soon afterwards.

Hemming/Urumov Oral Boards
Case 1. 30 yo female with leg pain and SOB. R24, T38.5, BP 135/80, P 107. O2 Sat 88%. On exam, patient has rales in right lung. History reveals patient has sickle cell disease. CXR shows right basilar infiltrate. CBC shows leukocytosis and HGB of 6.7. Diagnosis is acute chest syndrome. Critical actions: Opioid pain medication, PRBC transfusion, supplemental oxygen, antibiotic therapy, and hematology consult. You can also give bronchodilators. Caution with IV fluids to avoid pulmonary edema.
The acute chest syndrome (ACS) in sickle cell disease (SCD) can be defined as:
- a new infiltrate on chest x-ray
- associated with one or more NEW symptoms:
fever, cough, sputum production, dyspnea, or hypoxia.
Adam Bonder comment: Data in pediatric patients shows that early use of incentive spirometers can prevent some cases of acute chest syndrome.
Table 1- ETIOLOGIES OF THE ACUTE CHEST SYNDROME
Hemoglobin S related
Unrelated to Hb S
Direct consequences of Hb S
Indirect consequences of Hb S
pulmonary infarction - in situ sickling
fibrin thromboembolism
The major clinical problems lie (a) in distinguishing between infection and infarction and (b) in establishing the clinical significance of fat embolism.
Case2. 16 yo male presents with altered mental status after falling overboard into a lake. Lake water was frigid due to cold weather during late fall. BP 130/80, P52, R 12, Rectal Temp 33.1. ETOH level 160. CT head and CT Cspine are negative. Diagnosis: Environmental hypothermia. Critical actions: Airway assessment/management, Check Glucose, Active re-warming, evaluate for concomitant trauma. Admit near drowning victims who are symptomatic in any way (cough, altered mental status, dyspneic, abnormal breath sounds) or patients who have CXR or laboratory abnormalities. Asyptomatic patients can be discharged after a period of ED observation.
Definition of Drowning from Szpilman NEJM 2012:
According to the new definition adopted by the WHO in 2002, "Drowning is the process of experiencing respiratory impairment from submersion/immersion in liquid."13 The drowning process begins with respiratory impairment as the person's airway goes below the surface of the liquid (submersion) or water splashes over the face (immersion). If the person is rescued at any time, the process of drowning is interrupted, which is termed a nonfatal drowning. If the person dies at any time as a result of drowning, this is termed a fatal drowning. Any submersion or immersion incident without evidence of respiratory impairment should be considered a water rescue and not a drowning. Terms such as "near drowning," "dry or wet drowning," "secondary drowning," "active and passive drowning," and "delayed onset of respiratory distress" should be avoided.1

Case 3. 38yo male with left ankle injury while playing basketball. Vitals are normal. Thompson's test shows no plantar flexion with calf compression. Diagnosis is Achilles tendon rupture . Critical actions: Thompson's test, pain medication, orthopedic consultation, and splinting/non-weight bearing. Risk factors Achilles tendon rupture include floroquinolones, steroids, and prior Achilles tendon rupture.
*Thompson's test
Elise comment: Always verbalize your thought process behind your decisions when taking the Boards. It helps the examiner assess your knowledge. The current thinking is that you need to be cautious with fluids in sickle cell patients. They all have right heart dysfunction and are prone to pulmonary edema. Be sure to ask for a hypothermia thermometer for hypothermic patients.
Harwood comment: You can actually sometime palpate a defect in the Achilles tendon when it is ruptured. Ultrasound also can identify Achilles tendon rupture. Hypothermic patients that are still shivering will usually survive. If patients cannot shiver, you need to actively rewarm them. Those who can't shiver do have a risk of dying. If the patient is the equivalent of a slab of meat in the fridge and not moving or shivering, you need to actively re-warm them.

Lambert Vascular Ultrasound
Use a linear probe to optimize your image of the vessel.
Keep the indicator on the probe to the operator's left. AND The indicator on your screen should match the indicator in your hand. In general both should be on the left.
Most ultrasonographers use the transverse view to visualize vessel cannulation.
When piercing the skin with your needle, the needle entry point should be back from the probe the same distance as the vessel is from the probe on the screen. You basically are creating a right angle.
Needle insertion site----------------Probe location
> Vessel
When the needle is on the vessel on your screen, you actually need to jab the needle into the vessel.
Peripheral veins in the upper arm are another good option for vascular access. Mike says any large vein in the upper arm will work. You need a longer than normal angiocath (5cm preferred) to get deep enough. We have the longer angiocaths in the charting room cabinet and in the inventory room.
Ultrasound is 95% sensitive and 98% specific when evaluating for extremity DVT.
Most lower extremity DVT's are either in the femoral area (common femoral vein) or the popliteal area (popliteal vein). The clot is usually near joints (hip and knee).
You diagnose DVT by demonstrating non-compressibility of the imaged vessel. Full compression means no clot.
In the popliteal region, "Pop on Top". Meaning, the popliteal vein is superficial to the popliteal artery.
Things in the popliteal region seen on ultrasound that can be confusing include Baker's cysts (comma shaped) and lymph nodes (kidney appearance shape/texture)

Silver screen and small screen actor Cas Anvar couldn't believe he was stepping onto a soundstage in a STAR TREK episode when he first emerged in costume as Sentek in Episode 10 ("To Boldly Go: Part I").
After playing opposite Ben Affleck in Argo, an Oscar winner for Best Picture, Anvar has stayed busy with Hollywood in film and TV roles in productions like the Princess Diana biopic Diana, the sci-fi adventure Source Code and suspense thriller The Factory. He has also appeared in Steve Spielberg's The Terminal and then there's a long list of TV roles on Anvar's resume, including appearances on NCIS:LA, In Plain Sight, Boston Legal, Castle, and 24.
But to emerge in full Romulan garb on a planet set in rural Georgia? That was one of his personal career highlights – so far.
"On my very first scene, they brought me to the planet set. And it was amazing. I'd never really seen a real STAR TREK set before. You don't realize how those sets were constructed back then. This thing was so authentic with its fake boulders and sparkly mineral dust and the elevator on the surface of the planet. Then I had my first exposure to holding a disruptor and doing the big fight scene. It was everything you've ever imagined when you watch STAR TREK!"
Anvar is a Canadian born and trained actor whose big break came with his role 2003's Shattered Glass with Hayden Christiansen, and his professional career began following graduation from Canada's prestigious National Theatre School. Anvar is also a well-known voice actor, whose talents can be heard in some of the world's most popular video games (including Call of Duty: BO2, Halo 4, and Assassins Creed: Revelations.)
As a voice actor, he was familiar with Star Trek Continues executive producer Vic Mignogna. Anvar learned about the opportunity to join the cast as a guest star following a fortuitous meeting with STC director James Kerwin and through a connection with STC make-up artist Lisa Hansell.
As a voice actor, he was familiar with Star Trek Continues executive producer Vic Mignogna. Anvar learned about the opportunity to join the cast as a guest star following a fortuitous meeting with STC director James Kerwin and through a connection with STC make-up artist Lisa Hansell.
"I'd been exposed to STAR TREK CONTINUES before I found out about the opportunity to participate. Their reputation was very high, and the production really is amazingly impressive and very high quality. I like the way STC uses technology to make it possible to produce 'new' episodes of The Original Series without losing authenticity," Anvar said.
Anvar is a fan of all flavors of STAR TREK, noting that "there's not one that I've missed. I'm a Roddenberry fan – a fan of the universe that he created. But each of the STAR TREK series is like a movement in a symphony. Each one has a place and a purpose and its own unique flavor."
The "Vulculan"
To prepare for the role of Sentek ("I call him a 'Vulculan," says Anvar), he thought about what would be required for a cool and collected Vulcan to appear as a hot-headed Romulan.
"This is a character who grew up on Vulcan with emotional suppression. And he's masquerading as a Romulan, who is much more emotional and volatile. So how does this character allow himself to pass as a Romulan? He has to behave in a way that is a little less Vulcan, trying to find the balance. You have a lot of imagery and a wealth of knowledge of Vulcans by watching Leonard Nimoy as Spock. Of course, Sentek was performing in a very non-Vulcan way. That made for an interesting challenge to try to figure out how he could rationalize such impulsive and dangerous behavior. It was fun to figure it out."
In the Steps of Bill Shatner
"I studied psychology and sciences at McGill, and I think Bill Shatner did as well. He started in theater and did some Shakespeare, and of course everyone knew that he was an alumnus of the school. He went on to perform at Stratford in Toronto."
That connection to Shakespeare proved very fortuitous.
"I actually got Bill Shatner to endorse a fundraising effort for a Shakespeare campaign, along with Christopher Plummer (an honorary McGill graduate.) Both of these famous actors came from my hometown. But after 9/11, our Shakespeare company had a financial problem. These great actors were sympathetic and helped us raise the money we needed. Later, of course, I also worked with Shatner on Boston Legal and saw him as the incredible Denny Crane."
The always-busy Anvar just finished season three of The Expanse, which will reach viewers on the SyFy network in the coming months.
"Season three of The Expanse is looking amazing. And I'm just about to go to Toronto to shoot another feature film called Beneath Earth and Sky."
But thinking back, he loved the opportunity to play a STAR TREK alien.
"Honestly, it was a surreal experience. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be on STAR TREK and play some sort of an alien – ever since I was a kid. To getting to realize that dream was exciting," Anvar says.

In the feverish drive for domestic energy, all energy sources are on the table. With renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, surging, and oil and gas continuing to be not only the primary source of energy, but also the prominent "evil-doer" in the energy industry, other sources have been able to slide under the radar of the public—for better or worse.
After the disaster in Fukushima, nuclear energy has been on the ropes, but it is not down for the count. Despite the limitations placed on the nuclear energy industry regarding building new power plants, uranium is still highly valued and highly sought after. Granted, the uranium mined may not be for solely energy purposes, but it is still being extracted a fairly quick pace.
In Wyoming, uranium mining is a perfect example of sacrificing the future for the present.Prospectors have made deals with farmers allowing them to tap into minerals, oil, and gas beneath their properties, which struggling farmers are eager to agree to in order to receive extra income.
Though the surface is dry on the majority of the lands prospectors are pursuing, underground, vast reservoirs hold billions of gallons of water suitable for drinking, according the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Everyday though, injection wells pump hundreds of thousands of gallons of toxic and radioactive waste from uranium mining into these underground aquifers.
The Safe Water Drinking Act forbids injecting industrial waste into or above drinking water aquifers, but the EPA issued what are called aquifer exemptions which gave mine operators permission to ignore the law. Over the last three decades, the agency has issued more than 1,500 such exemptions nationwide, allowing energy and mining companies to pollute portions of at least 100 drinking water aquifers.
Sacrificing clean drinking water both in the present and the future, which many scholars believe will be the next resource wars and conflicts are fought over, for the short-term gains in domestic energy production, is a reckless policy which can only lead to problems.

Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law Response to U.S. Supreme Court Ruling in Buck v. Davis
Court Ruling Grants New Sentencing Hearing for Duane Buck
The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law issued the following statement regarding today's Supreme Court decision in Buck v. Davis:
"Whether or not to impose the death sentence on a criminal defendant is the gravest task that a jury is called upon to perform," said Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law President and Executive Director Kristen Clarke. "Today's Supreme Court decision in Buck v. Davis confirms that racial discrimination infects every level of our criminal justice system, including decisions about whether or not to impose a life or death sentence. In this case, rather than presenting an individualized view of Mr. Buck at his sentencing hearing, the prosecutor relied squarely on an 'expert' report that stereotyped African Americans as dangerous and violent-prone. The Court's ruling today makes clear that race threatens the integrity of our criminal justice system but also casts further doubt on the continuing fairness of the death penalty as a form of punishment in our country."
The Lawyers' Committee and Jones Day, LLP filed an amicus curiae, "friend of the court," brief in the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Buck v. Davis. The case involves the question of whether the Fifth Circuit improperly denied Duane Buck, a death row inmate, the right to appeal when his trial defense counsel knowingly presented an "expert" who testified that Buck was more likely to be dangerous in the future because he is African American, where future dangerousness was the central issue at sentencing. The Lawyers' Committee's brief was filed in support of Mr. Buck and argued that the expert's testimony, combined with a deeply engrained stereotype of "blacks as criminal," tainting the jury's decision approach to the sentencing phase of the trial. Mr. Buck was represented by the NAACP LDF, along with the Texas Defender Service and Holland & Knight, LLP.
This release was published on the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law's website on February 22, 2017.

A civil right is an enforceable right or privilege, which if interfered with by another gives rise to an action for injury. Examples of civil rights are freedom of speech, press, and assembly; the right to vote; freedom from involuntary servitude; and the right to equality in public places. Discrimination occurs when the civil rights of an individual are denied or interfered with because of their membership in a particular group or class. Various jurisdictions have enacted statutes to prevent discrimination based on a person's race, sex, religion, age, previous condition of servitude, physical limitation, national origin, and in some instances sexual orientation.

If you are an author, speaker, or some kind of advisor you need to know what companies and associations will best serve you. It's not easy to monetize your knowledge, talents, and experiences so when people dedicate their organizations to your cause, you should take notice.
- National Speakers Association – The national events, the local chapters, the strategic partnerships, and the opportunities to get close to the best of the best is what makes this organization make the top 3. What they don't want me to say… They have had their fair share of growing pains, and it can be hard to really break into the "good old boys club", but it would appear the positives far outweigh the negatives. The bottom line is that getting involved and being consistently good will give you as good of a shot as anyone. Check out nsaspeaker.org.
- GKIC – The national events, the local chapters, and the focus on truly making money will not be better experienced anywhere else in the world. Many claim no BS, but Dan Kennedy does it better than anyone with real authenticity and real results. What they don't want me to say… Attendance is down, Bill Glazer is missed, and things feel more corporate then ever. The bottom line is that GKIC is growing a new group, Dan Kennedy is better then ever, Dave Dee is the real deal, and the people that go to GKIC events are doers, not dreamers. Check outGKIC.com.
- Infusionsoft – The support, the consistency, the growth, the annual events, and the local user groups make this org more than a software company. They are a movement of entrepreneurs and small business owners. No software company has created the cutting edge culture Clate Mask and Scott Martinuea have created. What they don't want me to say… The software is still a little harder to use than most people would like. The bottom line is that people want their CRM software to do a lot, and if it does a lot you have a lot to learn. No one makes learning software easier, and they regularly certify experts that you can hire to build your Infusionsoft database for you. While most people's organizations having steady or shrinking numbers, Infusionsoft's continue to climb with over 5,000 people expected at the upcoming ICON16 annual conference. Check out AttendIcon.com.
And here is an honorable mention to what just might be the fastest growing leads group in the country… Team Referral Network, with both local and online chapters. With hundreds of chapters in the southwest and new ones popping up everywhere (including overseas) you need to check outTeamReferralNetwork.com.

Leak Repairs
Our technicians evaluate all reported leaks from inside the building and implement a comprehensive repair scope of work in accordance with their findings. Photographs of the completed work will accompany all invoices. On occasion, additional work is required to ensure a complete watertight condition and a supplemental detailed proposal will be submitted for client approval prior to completion.
Tenant Improvements
A significant cause of reported roof leaks is a result of poorly installed tenant improvement penetrations. Often times, the roof is an after thought of the construction process. We follow repair guidelines as outlined by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), as well as material manufacturers and roofing consultants. Our goal is to stop leaks before they occur.
Roof Maintenance
As ever-increasing material costs continue to impact the price of new roof installations, it becomes essential to maintain one of the most costly building assets. Roof maintenance is a building owners best method of maximizing roof service life while reducing the potential for leaks along the way. Annual inspection and repair allow the little things to be addressed before they develop into major deficiencies and thereby impacting business inside the building.

Portland PPC has been fantastic for me.
"Portland PPC has been fantastic for me. It has allowed me to get regular medical care from a doctor I felt I could trust, even though my insurance only covers big things. I have been able to build a relationship with my doctor, receiving care over time to gain greater wellness. It's a great way to fill in the gaps that are left when insurance doesn't really cover the everyday kinds of care that we all need from our health care providers."

Case Number 096050 - Laboratory Test to Aid in the Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis
Ellen Monson
Patients having several neurological diseases have been shown to have elevated levels of axonally-derived proteins (i.e. tau and neurofilament proteins) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and in brain tissue. Three monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) recognizing CSF tau proteins were developed. The Mabs were found to label a ladder of 30 kD to 50 kD tau proteins in CSF from patients with disease states producing axonal damage such as head trauma or CNS tumor but not in CSF from controls. High levels of tau protein in CSF were shown to be diagnostic of axonal degeneration in head trauma. An ELISA assay was developed with these MAbs to aid in the diagnosis of patients with axonal damage.

As you may have read, Freddie and I have been together for almost seven years, and lived together after only two months of knowing each other. Well, now it's been six months since the wedding and I'm here to dish on what I've learned in the half a year since we said our vows and became husband and wife, with a little Q&A from Martha Stewart Weddings.
So, what's the biggest surprise about married life?
No huge, scary newlywed surprises for me, but there is an indescribable feeling that came along. I never knew that getting married would make me feel like our bond was even stronger than it was before. But it's as if suddenly you realize you have this unbreakable connection with someone, and you look at each other differently and hold each other in a different, more special light.
Is being married how you envisioned it?
It's a sacred experience. For those of you who are married already you know what I'm talking about. And for those of you up next, you'll experience this too. Having a ceremony to celebrate your love with friends, family, and before God, takes your relationship to a deeper level. I've definitely found myself doing more "wifey" duties. I used to not really enjoy cooking, but now I love using our new gifts to create yummy dinners. It's a special time in our lives being newlyweds and we're enjoying the "us" time before we decide to grow our family.
What was the biggest adjustment to make?
Although Freddie and I have been partners in love and business for a while, I found myself adjusting to communicating with him about more decisions I made. It's not something he asked for—just something I innately started doing. It was a difficult adjustment, rather me being aware that my choices carried more weight and affected both of us.
Did you officially change your last name? How did that process pan out?
Oh yes! I couldn't wait to be Jenny Cipoletti! The process seemed daunting but my tip would be to just bite the bullet, and make all of the appointments so you don't miss a beat. First step was the social security card, and once I had that I could update my driver's license and passport. From there, get ready to prove to everyone you're married by carrying around copies of your marriage license and multiple forms of ID. It's crazy how many things you have to update—credit cards, bank accounts, doctor's info—but it's all worth it!
How are the thank-you notes coming along?
They're definitely coming along. They go out in waves. We didn't do a mass thank-you note. We wanted them to feel personalized. We worked with our stationer, Jonathan Wright to create folded cards that echoed the invitation design, with our names calligraphed in French blue and printed in the center of a gold leaf wreath. I suggest ordering your thank-you notes well in advance of your bridal shower, so you have them ready to write on once you start receiving gifts. I have a massive list that I'm still working my way through, but I'm almost done!
And what about the photo album?
Yikes! Not at all. We're thinking about it, but just haven't done it yet. We did order small prints of all 1,500 images by our photographer Katie Mitchell though. We have grand plans to sit down and pick our favorites and then order a coffee table book.
What memory from the wedding have you thought about most since it happened?
So many just went running through my head just thinking about how to answer this question. On the day of my wedding and the days leading up to it, I was in this super clear, present state. I knew the days would fly by so I was absorbing every feeling and moment like it was my last. There are so many memories to choose from—my dad reminding me to breathe while walking me down the aisle, the smell of the fireworks, our peaceful first dance, cutting the wrong layer of the wedding cake, tearing up the dance floor with my bridesmaids—but the fondest of them all was before all of that. The morning of our wedding, we woke up super early. I snuck downstairs to the kitchen and asked the chef to make a smorgasbord of food. I snuck back upstairs and Freddie and I sat at the foot of the bed in our robes eating and listening to the song we had our first dance to on repeat. The massive French doors in the room overlooked the Chateau's lake and the morning dew was just clearing. It was the calm before the storm, and a magical moment between the two of us.
What are you most excited about for the next six months of marriage?
Our honeymoon! We just have to figure out where and when!
Want another look at the wedding? Check that out here. To check out my other posts and the rest of our wedding weekend, click here. And don't forget to follow me on Instagram at @margoandme to see all things #margoandmeandmartha and #jenfredwed2015.

DEFRA: The Triumph of Hope over Experience
We can now add DEFRA to the list of those who never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
That opportunity was to use something other than the human eye, the gold standard technology established for such purposes in the reign of Queen Anne, to detect animals that might be infected with foot and mouth disease virus on the farm.
In 2002 Callahan and colleagues (1) described a real time PCR test that could be performed within an hour on or close to premises where there were animals that might be infected with foot and mouth disease virus (or even in a World Reference Center for Foot and Mouth Disease should one be convenient to the outbreak).
This test was more sensitive than traditional foot and mouth virus isolation and had the added advantage of detecting virus in non- optimal samples in which the virus was dead and not detectable at all by cell culture.
But Callahan and his colleagues also demonstrated something remarkable and previously unsuspected - that this PCR test could detect foot and mouth infected animals 2 or 3 days before they showed any outward signs of disease and before virus could be identified by any other means.
Had this rapid PCR test been performed on a few nasal swabs collected from each farm examined by animal health officers in Surrey in recent weeks there is no question but that infections would have been detected long ago even though lesions were not recognized.
The British veterinary authorities and the government's Chief Scientist, David King, have known about this technology since 2001 - they were told in advance long before the paper was published so they could get a head start on adding this to Britain's list of foot and mouth counter-measures.
As a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons of almost 40 years, I am astounded and baffled as to why the government is allowed to continue to practise obsolete veterinary medicine that is clearly contrary to the welfare of animals that the government has decided shall be solely in its care.
There can be no other branch of veterinary medicine where modern science is totally ignored yet veterinary surgeons retain their licences to practice.
I also read that the Countess of Mar was told in the House of Lords that "tests have to be validated by the OIE"... This is not true. A country can use any means it wishes to control foot and mouth disease whether or not OIE approves. What it must then do is use tests approved by OIE to resume international trade in animals and animal products. So the UK would have been perfectly within its rights, far better off and further on its way to eliminating foot and mouth and resuming trade if it had used a PCR test that works yet is not approved by OIE rather than visual inspection, which manifestly does not work, despite its hallowed origins in the dawn of the veterinary profession and its celebration in the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Warby Parker Robinson Today, every individual understands the value of style. The garment industry has actually come a long means and also today it is one of one of the most prosperous industries and also is quickly growing daily. Each week, the publication has plenty of brand-new fashion designs and also style senses. A person without using feeling will constantly be warded off by the culture. It's really significant to wear great as the dressing is the first point which is noticed by others. Fashion as well as using sense are necessary to look updated and also suit the society. A person who gowns according to the 18th century will certainly be humiliating himself in front of others.
Every years brought some clothing preference with it as well as with the flow of time several styles obtained obsoleted and were changed by new ones. Not everybody understands about every brand and when they are asked to pick in between one, they found themselves all at sea. During the previous couple of decades, fashion sense has actually swiftly altered as well as a lot of brand-new styles are introduced.

When Affinity Equity Partners and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts bought Oriental Brewery for USD 1.8bn in May 2009, the cost of debt financing was so high they asked the seller, Anheuser Busch InBev, to fund part of the buyout. What a difference a year makes, Debtwire reports.
Despite the shockwaves gripping Europe, lenders in Asia are flush with cash and the two sponsors have received numerous offers to refinance the USD 825m LBO loans they did borrow for the purchase just nine months ago. Both Korean banks and foreign institution lined up in recent months to court the sponsors for a recapitalization of the number-two South Korean brewer, said three sources close to the situation.
Liquidity is returning to the Korean banking system in a big way this year and that has boosted Korean banks lending and underwriting capability, two sources at Korean banks said. That jibes with the Bank of Korea's decision to raise its 2010 GDP growth forecast to 5.2% from 4.6%, a significant jump from a 1.8% growth rate in 1Q10 and 0.2% in 4Q09.
Each major Korean bank is capable of underwriting KRW 300bn (USD 270m) per transaction – twice the amount they could underwrite at the height of the financial crisis, one of the two sources said.
Affinity and KKR could use that liquidity to recoup some of their collective USD 675m equity investment in Oriental on top of refinancing the company's loans. But now that the shoe is on the other foot, the sponsors would only consider a transaction that actually reduces debt by lowering its interest expense, said one of the sources close.
In their eagerness to land a mandate, some Korean banks offered to shave margins on Oriental Brewery's debt by 200bps across the board, said a second Korean banker with knowledge of the proposals.
Oriental's USD 825m senior loan maturing in 2014 pays an initial interest margin of LIBOR +600bps and steps down as the company meets de-leveraging milestones. Anheuser Busch Inbev's USD 300m vendor note pays an initial margin of L + 800bps and steps down to L + 700bps from July this year.
Korean banks would be willing to fund a deal with leverage of up to 5x EBITDA, compared to 4x when the original financing closed, said the second Korean banker with knowledge of the proposals. The brewer will likely generate KRW 300bn (USD 268.5m) of EBITDA this year compared to KRW 255bn at the time of the buyout, said the source.
Assuming lenders sign up for a 5x levered deal and the sponsors use it to refinance both outstanding LBO debt and the vendor note, that would leave roughly USD 218m for a theoretical dividend payment. The sum far exceeds what any interest-rate reductions could compensate for.
Given that almost all of Oriental Brewery's revenues are KRW-denominated, the Korean banks' willingness to refinance the LBO loan facility entirely in won should be especially attractive to the company's sponsors, said the Korean bankers. The USD 825m-equivalent LBO facility is currently split into a USD 475m tranche and a KRW 450bn tranche.
KKR bought Oriental Brewery with a USD 1.8bn bid in May last year, beating Affinity and MBK Partners for the asset. KKR later sold 50% of the asset to Affinity.

Apple Computers, Inc. was founded in 1976 by college dropouts Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. It began as a vision of changing the way people viewed computers. Jobs and Wozniak wanted to make computers small enough for people to have them in their homes or offices. Simply put, they wanted a computer that was user-friendly. [pp15-16]1
Jobs and Wozniak started out building the Apple I in Jobs' garage and sold them without a monitor, keyboard, or casing (which they decided to add on in 1977). The Apple II revolutionized the computer industry with the introduction of the first-ever color graphics. [p21]1 Sales jumped from $7.8 million in 1978 to $117 million in 1980, the year Apple went public. 2
Wozniak left Apple in 1983 due to a diminishing interest in the day-to-day running of Apple Computers. Jobs then hired PepsiCo's John Sculley to be president. However, this move backfired and after much controversy with Sculley, Jobs left in 1985 and went on to new and bigger things. He founded his own company NeXT Software and he also bought Pixar from George Lucas, which would later become a huge success in computer animation of such movies as Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., and Finding Nemo.[pp. 47-48, 54] 1
Back in 1985 Sculley turned down an appeal from Microsoft founder Bill Gates to license its software. This decision would later come back to haunt him because Microsoft, whose Windows operating system (OS) featured a graphical interface similar to Apple's, became their toughest competition in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s.2
Over the course of a few years, Apple's market share suffered slowly after its peak in 1990 and by 1996, experts believed the company to be doomed. It was not until 1997, when Apple was desperately in need of an operating system, that it bought out NeXT Software (Jobs' company) and the board of directors decided to ask for some help from an old friend: Steve Jobs. Jobs became an interim CEO, or iCEO as he called himself (Jobs was not officially the CEO until 2000). Jobs decided to make some changes around Apple. He forged an alliance with Microsoft to create a Mac version of its popular office software.2
Not long after this decision was the turning point for the company. Jobs revamped the computers and introduced the iBook (a personal laptop). He also started branching out into mp3 players (iPod) and media player software (iTunes). This was Jobs' best move yet. While computers are still an important part of Apple, its music related products (i.e. iPod and iTunes) have become the company's most profitable sector.2 Apple has also recently released the iPhone, a cellular phone, and the Apple TV.

Steve Jobs' company NeXT manufactured NeXT Cube, which, while way too expensive and not commercially successful, was actually used as the world's first web server!

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Macaluso!!! He was so great with my teenage daughter after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. He saved her life and our family's life. He is a top surgeon who knows his stuff! He is very personable and always treated my daughter good. I've had to wait for over an hour in his office before. But remember, you usually have to wait for the best ones!!!
- Julie H.
Dr. Simmang is amazing. During my visit with him I was very nervous. I was new to my colostomy pouch and my visit was to schedule my j-pouch operation. Dr. Simmang was very calming, he is easy to talk to and overall a caring doctor. I had my successful j-pouch surgery and Dr. Simmang has been great. I would recommend him – don't think you'll be disappointed.
- B. Alday
Dr. Hughes and his staff were extremely friendly, professional and accommodating in getting me in for the initial visit and then the procedure. He was very helpful and also educational in walking me through the entire process and follow up. At 55 years old, I am very confident they were thorough in their screening to ensure I had no issues. I wish all doctor offices had this same ease of access.

My best friend Lauren just had her 22nd birthday, she had a Lady Gaga themed birthday party. Everyone had to come dressed as Gaga or else. I'm crazy for anything themed, my costume idea came from something I saw her wear at her show. It was this huge flowy marshmellowy costume that she danced around in all over the stage and looked ridiculous in of course.

From Jim
Dear SamTrans Family:
"The eleventh day of the eleventh hour of the eleventh month…," the day once regarded as the end of World War I, the "war to end all wars," November 11th has evolved to be a day to honor and celebrate Veterans for their service and sacrifice for all of us. Sadly, WWI was not the "war to end all wars," in fact fighting and war may never cease, making it even more important to recognize the brave sacrifices of those who have served our country.
I am proud of each of the Veterans in our SamTrans family. I am proud because as an organization we recognize and celebrate our Veteran's service and sacrifice. To observe the importance of our nation's Veterans, today we are running "SamTrans Salutes America's Veterans" and "Caltrain Salutes America's Veterans" messages on all our buses and at Caltrain stations.
As an agency, we are committed to serving those who have sacrificed for our country through the establishment of a Veterans Mobility Ambassador Program that enlists Veterans familiar with our services to help train fellow Vets on the use of the Caltrain and SamTrans systems.
The District also actively works to recruit Veterans using the Veterans Affairs Vocational Rehabilitation service, the online job recruitment service HireAHero.com, and by participating in job fairs specifically targeting Veteran recruitment like the one recently held by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce at AT&T Park.
I recently learned that when professional football teams and sports television networks have recognized military service during some of their games they were paid to do so. Shame on them. Patriotism and celebration of military service ought not to be for sale or done because "it is good for business."
To be honest, I don't care whether it is "good for business" or not. It is the right thing to do.
I want to extend my personal thanks to each Veteran here at the District and to those in our community and to each of your families for their sacrifice and support.
I also want to send my best wishes to all our active duty military personnel here and abroad.

Question: A friend of mine gave a cheque to a supplier to deliver goods but the goods were not received. Does my friend have the right to instruct the receiving bank to not cash the cheque?
Answer:Unfortunately, your friend cannot do that. Once a cheque has been signed and delivered it is illegal to try to have it returned. Article 401 of Criminal Law 3 of 1987 and its amendments state that a bounced cheque crime could be established even from the person merely issuing instructions to the bank not to cash it. The Supreme Court explained in one similar case that the charges remain valid regardless of whether the commitment from the other party has been fulfilled.
