Are there non linearities in US: Latin American real exchange behavior
This study tests for non-linearities in the behavior of US dollar real exchange rates of thirteen Latin American countries. For this purpose, logistic and exponential smooth transition regression models are applied to quarterly data over the sample period 1973Q2-2001Q1. There is evidence of non-linearities in the behavior of seven real exchange rates where, in most of these cases, non-linearities are captured by the logistic smooth transition autoregressive model. The extent of non-linearities varies across Latin American countries with Colombia and Venezuela exhibiting the sharpest transition between regimes of low and high real exchange rates.

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
You Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that, as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up and get it sent out to you - it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery Dates provided on product pages.
A mountain pack classic, renowned for its simple, functional design and robust, durable construction. The AK47 is small enough for shorter climbs, yet also big enough for multi-day routes too. Great for alpinism, classic mountaineering and winter walking, it can carry a heavy load of hardware to the bottom of a route in comfort, yet when empty is so light you'd hardly notice it.

An Institution Called Hank Williams Jr (From His Father's Shadow To Monday Night Football)
Eclipsing his legendary Father may not have been what Hank Williams Jr set out to do, but in his struggle to make his own way with his own music, he did just that. Through the many phases of his career he has somehow transformed into an institution of such magnitude that the shadow he casts rises above an entire establishment which had once sidestepped him at times but eventually came to realize he was indeed a force to be reckoned with. He commanded the loyalty of an army of Bocephus fans both young and old long before his determination of doing things his own way was accepted by the industry in general.
The well-documented career of Hank Williams Jr reveals a progressively unfolding attitude towards human rights and a growing displeasure with the politics surrounding the rights of the working class and freedom of speech. The controversy stemming from his not-so-candid comments he made on Fox & Friends which prompted ESPN to drop him from Monday Night Football (For which he received four Emmys) has thrown him into the most controversial situation of his career. Will he back down? Anyone who has closely followed Williams' career will bet that he won't. He immediately fired back with "Keep The Change" a song about the event which can be downloaded free from his official website.
The saga of Hank Williams Jr is well documented recalling the early days of singing the songs of Hank Sr. The shoes of his famous father fit quite well and he was eagerly received by those who could still vividly recall the elder Williams. "Standing In The Shadows" is an echo of where he was at that time. As he struggled to move out of that shadow into his own space, his own songs began reaching impressive positions on the charts on a regular basis. "I Wouldn't Change a Thing About You", "All For The Love Of Sunshine" and "Eleven Roses" were typical for the late 60's and early 70's. But in 1979 you could almost smell the rubber burning from the slamming of brakes and shifting directions. Things began to heat up in the Bocephus camp with songs like " Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound" and "Women I've Never Had." He wasn't phased by the jaw-dropping doubletakes of industry tradionalists or the fact he was branded an outlaw.
The 80's became his proving ground. He tapped into a massive fan base most probably didn't know existed with songs like "Country Boy Can Survive," "Family Tradition" and "If Heaven Ain't a Lot Like Dixie." It was amazing how these fans who ranged from hard rockers to hard core country responded to him. During that time, he was the first country artist to enhance his stage show with hi-tech special effects, something unique to rock at the time. Speaking volumes, the charts tell it all. Before the decade would run it's course, he would win CMA Entertainer of the Year two years in a row. Altogether the awards to date include six Academy of Country Music Awards (three for entertainer of the year), seven Country Music Association awards,(Two were Entertainer of the year) four Emmy Awards for "Monday Night Football," and a Grammy Award in 1990 for "There's A Tear In My Beer." In 2006 he was awarded the Johnny Cash Visionary Award by CMT. Among his most avid fans are famous fellow entertainers, some who were themselves influenced by him on their way up. The attitude towards him today is one of deep respect. Without conforming, Hank Williams Jr became a firmly established institution that no one could repudiate.
In 2009 Hank Williams Jr. hit the stages across the country to promote "127 Rose Ave." The album featured "Red, White and Pink Slip Blues," a song which addressed the brutal reality many face in places hard hit by today's economic woes. Although Hank Williams Jr never had to experience any of the problems in the song, in reality many are living them and can identify with some part of it. The situation in this song, which has now escalated to new heights, is far reaching and not limited to country radio listeners.
Williams is not the only entertainment icon to use music to raise awareness. Last year John Schneider echoed similar sentiments with the release of his video, The Promise. Jimmy Wayne tirelessly continues to use his music to raise awareness for young people aging out of the foster care system, a problem which could be solved with government support and intervention. The Bellamy Brothers also used their famous voices to express their opinion of a few elements of society in their song and video "Jalapenos". Although the song "Keep The Change" appears to be for the most part, a venting of frustration, it also draws a line for a man who is passionate about his country and all aspects of freedom. – Jackie Rowe

I just received an email that asked:
What kind of computer-thing can we get for $800?
We have to spend out a grant by June 30th and we have about $800 left. The way the grant is written we can not purchase a new computer/laptop so if you had $800 to spend what computer-thing would you buy for your company?

A ton of ram and upgrade everyone's PC's

Use simple math to multiply it by 1,000.
800 * 1000 == 800,000
I would then spend $800,000 on:
Sound Cards
A bucket of thermal paste
Keyboards... You get the gist...

Unless you always have the cash to get whatever you need, (I don't), use it for items that you have problems getting. Sometimes the big things are easy, but smaller cost items are not.
I would spend it on hard drives for spares myself. All my servers are Raid setups, with global hot spares, but, extra drives always come in handy.
Jun 24, 2011 at 8:14 UTC
A couple of AMD Radeon HD 6950s to "investigate GPGPU-based highly parallel processing".

This all sounds suspicious to me. I'm having a difficult time believing that a woman would have a hard time trying to find something to spend $800 on.

I don't know what your needs are or what your currently using, but patch management with IT.Shavlik is only $750/yr for up to 100 machines. If your environment is smaller than that we could cover 50 machines for a 3yr period for only $675.
- Sorry for the shameless promotion but you asked what you could spend money on and I'm in sales :-) Seriously though, keeping all of your applications patched is very important so if you want more information please feel free to PM me.

text: "NASDAQ OMX is committed to offering our customers direct access to differentiated financial services platforms from an independent provider," said Eric Noll, Executive Vice President, Transaction Services U.S. and U.K., NASDAQ OMX. "U.S. Treasuries represent a significant opportunity to expand NASDAQ OMX's trading business into a sizable new asset class that will provide our customers with access to a variety of instruments to better meet their trading strategies."Market Expansion and Diversification NASDAQ OMX expects U.S. Treasury volumes – already one of the largest markets in the world with over $500 billion in daily trading volume – to increase, as core drivers gain momentum and economic headwinds subside. Positive market trends such as the stability in the issuance of new Treasuries, the continued electronification of the U.S. Treasury market and the resolution of fiscal uncertainty will drive volume growth. In addition, government intervention through quantitative easing and other market operations has artificially depressed the natural volatility in the U.S. Treasury market. eSpeed is well positioned, through the independent ownership of NASDAQ OMX, to benefit from the normalization of the U.S. government bond market and the cyclical drivers of volumes. At the same time, the acquisition diversifies NASDAQ OMX Transaction Services and allows the Company to maximize new opportunities in the trading of fixed income securities around the globe. NASDAQ OMX expects to utilize the acquisition of eSpeed to trade additional fixed income products, offering customers increased access to a greater variety of trading instruments. Proposed Acquisition Details Under the terms of the acquisition, NASDAQ OMX has entered into an agreement to acquire the eSpeed benchmark, on-the-run platform from BGC Partners, Inc. for a purchase price of $750 million in cash plus certain contingent issuances of NASDAQ OMX stock over 15 years that approximate certain tax benefits to NASDAQ OMX associated with the transaction. Based on the current stock price, NASDAQ OMX expects to issue approximately one million shares annually over 15 years. Committed bridge financing is in place and the Company expects to fund the cash purchase price with cash on hand and in the long-term debt markets.

In search of consumers who, among other things, want to buy a used motorcycle in Ahmedabad, rent a furnished flat in New Delhi or find a date in Goa, Indian entrepreneurs have been capitalizing on Craigslist, an Internet classified advertising website, to target expatriates living in India.
In recent months, the number of people posting and replying to ads in India has soared, according to Craigslist chief executive officer Jim Buckmaster. There are more than five million page views and approximately 12,000 new classified ads listed per month, he said.
The low-frills website has listings for 10 cities in India, and recently added Ahmedabad, and the states of Goa and Kerala. Craigslist ranks within the top 250 most popular websites in India, according to web information firm Alexa.com.
A file picture of Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster at the Fortune Tech Conference in San Francisco, California, on 12 July 2007
In a country where social networking sites are drawing huge numbers of new Indian members, few sites have targeted Westerners as effectively as Craigslist. Bangalore was the first Indian city on Craigslist in January 2005 and is the busiest with almost 2 million page views per month. New Delhi and Mumbai are the next busiest and both started in mid-2005.
Worldwide, the site receives more than eight billion page views a month and Craigslist users self-publish more than 20 million new classified ads each month, according to its website.
In much of the West, Craigslist has become the first place many young people in big cities look for apartments and job listings.
Craig Newmark in San Francisco founded Craigslist in 1995 as a non-profit means to keep locals and friends up to date on events in the Bay Area; in 1999, it converted to a for-profit company and online retailer eBay bought a 25% stake in it the following year.
The site spread across the US before expanding globally in 2003. It now covers more than 50 nations and 450 cities.
That has made it possible for New Delhi real estate agent Abhishek Aggarwal to say that 30% of his business comes from expatriates surfing Craigslist. Aggarwal started posting ads on the site four months ago when a client of his from Santa Barbara, California, mentioned the popularity of the site.
"Not only people from America, but people from all over the world go to Craigslist," said Aggarwal. "There's been a real surge."
On his webvertisement, Aggarwal lists amenities he said expatriates are looking for: Wi-Fi, satellite television and western-style toilets and showers, shopping areas, and ATMs in close proximity.
Another innovative use the site has been put into, is to find trainers for call centres. One company, Bangalore-based Call Ready, recruits Westerners on Craigslist to become voice and accent trainers to work with future employees in the city's medical centres.
"On Craigslist, I can find the right kind of audience that I want to target, usually Westerners or people who come back to India after working abroad," said Ashok Purushotham, Call Ready's business manager in charge of recruiting. "They all look on Craigslist to find jobs."
Purushotham said about 50% of his recruits come from the website.
While most personal ads are posted by Western men seeking Indian women, Indians are also using Craigslist to find dates with Westerners.
One man from Mumbai is looking for a Western companion, with stated intentions of sharing a cup of tea. One ad from Chennai promises "well educated mannered escorts" for foreigners visiting Chennai.
But CEO Buckmaster says India's site seems more career-oriented than, say, neighbouring China's.
"At the macro level, there seem to be more job ads than personals in India, and more personals than job ads in China," he wrote in an email interview.
Some Indian entrepreneurs are capitalizing on the heavy traffic the website gets.
It's often one of the first results on search engines, says Sunil Thomas, a communications engineer from Kerala who owns several pieces of real estate in state capital Thiruvananthapuram.
Thomas has been using the website for three months, but said his business could be better. "Craigslist has helped, but not immensely," he said.
Thomas is looking forward to seeing how the site will help him for the tourist season come mid-September: "I expect business to pick up a lot by then. I think Craigslist will help."

Dyed, shredded coconut provides a convincing background for any number of decorations on a cake. Green coconut works well as grass, yellow coconut makes a whimsical duck and blue or green can be used to make cartoon characters. Food coloring is nontoxic, so it's safe to use on anything edible and flaked coconut is porous enough to easily absorb the colors.
Things You'll Need
- Sweetened, shredded coconut
- Gel food coloring
- Waxed paper
- Zip-top bag (optional)
Place 1/2 cup of sweetened, shredded coconut in a bowl.
Add 1 drop of gel food coloring to the bowl.
Mix the coconut with a spoon until the color is even throughout the coconut.
Add more food coloring and mix again until you're happy with the color intensity. If the color is too dark, add more sweetened, shredded coconut and mix again.
Pour the coconut onto waxed paper and allow it to dry before you use it.
Tips & Warnings
- Try mixing primary colors to get secondary colors by mixing the gel food coloring before you add it to the coconut.
- You can use your hands to mix the coloring into the coconut, if you prefer.
- Put the coconut and coloring into a zip-top bag and shake it well for a mess-free method of mixing.
- Food coloring can stain skin and clothing.

I only need to create PDF forms that can be used internally.Asked by Dick Fotoples on June 01, 2015 at 08:49 AM
I have been using LiveCycle Designer. I only create PDF forms that can be used internally. I don't need a form that can be filled out online or as part of a survey. How would JotForm do this for me?
I need to create forms that can be filled out on a computer or a tablet, then signed by anyone, not necessarily using verified signatures that may be stored on the computer or tablet.
Thank you.

Is it possible to use the calculation field to ge the day of the weekAsked by beatsahead on September 29, 2015 at 02:05 PM
I currently have 3 different pricing structures
Low - Mon-Thurs
Mid - Fri/Sun
High - Sat
Is there any way to use the calculation field (or anything else) to select the correct day of the week when the user enters their date.
It is further complicated that all of December is at high rate.
I believe you are saying that you want to try to create a calculation that can obtain the appropriate day of the week based on the current date.
You could use something like " dateString (datefield0-9) "
Demo - http://form.jotform.us/form/52713738900153? [CLONE IT!]
I apologize, I meant to include this screenshot to show you the returned day name as well.
Thanks for your response, I had seen that formula, but just need the day from the date,
and then 3 different calculation for different days of week, but think I've found a way to do it with conditions.
I get the date field then equal to day. Working on it now.
hi beatsahead.
i experimented based on the conditions / rules you gave (also piggybacked on KadeJM's solution).
Low = Mon - Thu.
Mid = Fri & Sun
High = Saturdays & all of December.
hope i got it right. here's the sample form.
Yeah you'd need to create some conditional logic from this to then display the actual day of the week for each.
I've fixed it in an update on the form I provided you with above and then have hidden the second date field. You
Updated Demo: http://form.jotform.us/form/52713738900153
Additionally, you could combine it with the updated example to for your Low-Medium-High price per grade4pagas's added solution.
They both look great, but not sure what I need to do to replicate, I have low mid high for the days of week, but unable to see how to set December as high?
Got it
Thought I had, but when I create Saturday condition for high I lose December
hi beatsahead.
this is how i did it (the JotForm support team may have an alternative solution):
i just added December on the existing condition for Saturday.
this way, if the field that has the date output contains the values "Sat" or "Dec", it will always show "High".
Your [datestring] looks like a much neater solution than mine, but I do have it working, I had to put December in before the mid and low dates or they took priority.

Glad to hear that you have solved it already. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us again.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was charged with Public Disorderly Conduct in Oct '10 in S. Carolina while on vacation. I have an attorney and am fighting it. In the meantime I was charged with a DWI 1st Offense, BAC >.20% in Virginia (where I live) in Feb '11. I haven't heard yet from my attorney in SC about the PDC charge. My court date for the DWI in Virginia is in April and it looks like I will probably be facing a 1-yr suspended or restricted license along with 180 days in jail with 170 suspended, amounting to 10 days in jail. Since I will be convicted for my DWI in VA prior to any sentencing for the PDC in SC, could a PDC conviction in SC affect anything with my DWI case in VA? Will I be violating probation for my DWI conviction in VA if I'm later convicted of PDC in SC, even though the PDC charge came 1st?
The short answer is yes, a subsequent conviction on the South Carolina case could be deemed a probation violation on your Virginia probation, provided that your probation officer in Virginia is aware of it. Speak to a defense attorney, either in South Carolina or Virginia, about this issue. The attorney will be able to advise you of your options and may be able to work out an agreement among your two probation officers (presuming you're placed on a probationary sentence on both charges) to prevent a violation from issuing. The fact that the underlying conduct in the South Carolina case preceded the Virginia case in time will likely be a mitigating factor to a Virginia judge even if you are at some point violated because of it.Ask a similar question

In Conversation with: Mary Katrantzou
'Black is the natural fall-back to cleanse your palate, and to have a uniform. But look at any designer, and you'll see the way they dress isn't extravagant.'
How stressful has London Fashion Week been?
On a scale of one to 10, it's high up there. You start speeding up the decisions made, and things click into place all in the last week, and then it's about getting the right finish in a very short time.
Does it make you smoke more cigarettes?
Fashion week makes me smoke more, and everyone on the team understands that I need to smoke more, so I feel freer. I mean, I'm a smoker so what can I say?
When was your last day off?
I went to Greece for two days and lost my luggage. It was a stressful holiday – no Prada earrings; no Jil Sander shoes. I lost everything I owned and all my black tops. That was my last time off. And that taught me to never ever take a day off!
Your new collection is inspired by shoes – and it's very different from the previous season.
I'm still in the position where every season you want to do things you haven't done before. Even the embroidery, how we've worked it this season, is different.
Do you always wear black?
I rarely don't. There's so much colour around, and even here at work there's so much of it. And that does make you strip away the colour from your wardrobe. It's the natural fall-back to cleanse your palate, and to have a uniform. But look at any designer, and you'll see the way they dress isn't extravagant.
I read that you sell dresses for upwards of £30,000?
I do.
How often do customers with those kinds of pockets come along?
A lot of our customers buy into it every season, and they buy an extravagant piece or a simple version they can see themselves wearing. Last season we sold the Swarovski crystal and needle-punched felt jumper to a woman in Kazakhstan. There was one woman who came from Belgium who was a collector.
It's nice to have collectors of fashion who buy five to 10 pieces every season just as collectors' items, and there are stores in Canada or Russia or in China that have that market and it validates having those crazy show pieces that you know you'll only produce five of. But do these special pieces make you a living? No. Not if you only do that.
Greece's economic situation is dire – has anyone you know been affected?
I know a lot of my friends are struggling. It's sad because they're my age, in their thirties, and that's the time that you want to have a settled career and get married and have children. Whenever I go back to Greece, I see them without any prospect of a better job, and they're paid a ridiculously small amount. People who are well-educated, with Masters and PhDs, are doing basic jobs, like working at a till in a bank, when their knowledge and their skills are much more advanced.
A lot of companies are merging together and letting go of a lot of people, while some people feel trapped in their position and are trying to figure out when and how they can make a move. Some are leaving and going abroad, but not everyone has the opportunity. Even my parents have seen their pension cut by a third. The amount that you have to pay in taxes is absolutely ridiculous. I think it's a situation that's made people a little more desperate: everyone is out for themselves and people you can trust have no money – I shouldn't be saying this, it's terrible.
Mary Katrantzou is a fashion designer who has been dubbed the 'queen of prints'. Born in 1983 in Athens, she studied at Central Saint Martins, going on to work for Sophia Kokosalaki and Bill Blass before striking out on her own

Love this game is great to play with friends
Was this helpful?
This is simply one of the best titles to of ever been released by Nintendo in the last twenty years. It gives you the ability to be so creative in such a tactile, easy and enjoyable way it would be impossible to get bored with this game especially with the online community with all the amazingly creative people making levels to play and learn from. My daughter of 4 and son of 7 and the grandparents all love playing this. It's a real testament to Nintendo's philosophy on what gaming should be and what better way to express it by giving you the controll, with a little help from a plumber!

Review by Rick L
"It could've been better."
I had to try this game out for myself, since I had heard about it for years. Well, it was different from what I had thought, since I had never seen pictures of the game at all!
Graphichs: 7/10
The graphics in this game were cartoony, but alright. The water in the first level looked AWESOME!! Great job programmers! On the other hand, Amagon looks WAY too strange in his normal form. He looks like a man with a head that's higher than it is wide wearing a woman's swimsuit tiptoeing around with a black stick...er..gun! Whazzupwitdat?! Megagon looks like some stereotypical macho man you see on the beach that all the chicks faint for more than a Backstreet Boy. Whazzupwitdat as well?! Oh well. Not much I can ask why about!
Sound: 2/10
Right now I do not have a head, as the first level music was so bad that my head exploded into tiny fragments. It's repetitive, annoying, and sounds like cats dying, and a dog trying to bark with a bad cold. There isn't much in the way for SFX either. Complain, complain, complain!
Gameplay: 7.5/10
Well, it's alright, but aiming and jumping is just the ultimate b---h. You have to be dead on or you miss entirely. Not fun. Regular Amagon dies in one hit, so you have to be a friggin' acrobat or else you're gonna get killed by one of the many things either on LSD, Acid, or are just pissed off and wanna touch someone to make them show a stupid expression on their face and fall. Megagon is the way the game should be! Nice, easy, damn near invincible, power, my God! He's awesome! Other than that, the controls are very responsive and there's really nothing to whine about, except for my complaint above. Also, NO BULLET LIMIT!! Really, that gets aggrivating. There's no need of it.
Replay Value: 0/10
NO!! Don't do it! Spare yourself the pain of dying 4,383,498 times again! You won't wanna beat it again. Hell, I haven't even beaten the first level, and I KNOW I don't wanna be playin' this again! So take it for me. Only do it to torture someone.
Overall: 5/10
Like I said, this is an average game that could've been greatly improved. If you're lookin' for an OK game, this is the one. If you're lookin' for a difficult game, this could be your niche. If you're lookin' for SMB3 quality like a lot of picky people are, stay away.

Product Description
SPF Protection Level: SPF 30+: Provides high-level protection against sunburn. / SPF 18: Provides moderate-level protection against sunburn.
Water Resistant: SPF 30+: Retains effectiveness after 80 minutes of activity in water or perspiring. / SPF 18: Retains effectiveness after 40 minutes of activity in water or perspiring.
Product description: Spring has sprung, which means many of us have started thinking about sun protection again—but shielding your child's (and your) skin from the sun should be a year round priority. That's why California Baby is offering this kit of suncare essentials made for everyday, year-round wear. The lightly scented sunblocks are naturally-based and instead contain titanium dioxide, an active ingredient that provides broad-spectrum protection by reflecting and scattering dangerous UVA and UVB rays before they can penetrate the skin's surface. Our protective lotions are lightweight and easily absorbed and do double duty for moms as a daily moisturizer under makeup. Like all of California Baby's suncare products, those in this set are PABA-free and non-greasy. Purchase these products as a set and save—plus get a cool pair of designer kid's sunglasses to protect your little one's peepers!
A note from Jessica, developer of California Baby®: This kit is perfect for a day outdoors filled with fun! I always cover up with the SPF 18+ as a base before leaving home and use the SPF30+ lotion to reapply throughout the day. Use the stick for extra coverage on sensitive spots such as your lips, nose, ears and scars. Remember to reapply every 2 hours, or after 80 minutes of fun in water!

What are the secrets of persuasion?
Persuasive Speaking
What are the secrets of persuasion? As an experienced speaker, when you give a presentation you are articulate and enthusiastic. You have your facts straight and your talk organized in a logical fashion.
But do your audience members take the steps you want them to take? Do they buy what you're trying to sell? Will they do what you're asking them to do?
To be effective, your speaking can't just be well researched or well prepared – it must be persuasive. The missing ingredient for many presenters is an understanding of the audience's attitude toward the subject, and how to overcome any areas of resistance.
This advanced BRODY program provides models to structure an effective persuasive presentation, based on the audience's attitude toward the subject and what is being proposed. You'll also learn techniques to deliver presentations with authority and passion, and how to handle challenging questions.

• Analyze their audience and areas of resistance
• Organize a persuasive presentation to achieve an end goal
• Develop logical and emotional appeals to sell their ideas
• Create powerful and compelling visuals that reinforce their message
• Handle challenging audience situations
• Deliver impromptu presentations
Target Audience:
Experienced presenters or graduates of "Present with Success" who have already developed strong platform skills. Great for anyone who needs to "sell" their ideas, products or services.
Participants are asked in a pre-work memo to create a 5- to 7-minute presentation, including visuals, to bring to the in-person program.
• A 75-minute pre-program webinar is highly recommended to allow for more practice and coaching during the face-to-face session.

Creating FDA-compliant cGMP Training Program
Product ID: 703401
Training Level: Intermediate to Advanced
- Duration: 60 Min
Customer Care
Fax: +1-650-565-8542
Email: email@example.com
This webinar will explain how to implement an effective and FDA compliant GMP training program. It will discuss regulatory requirements and expectations for a well-trained workforce.
Why Should You Attend:
The life sciences industries are under a growing scrutiny from the regulators, legislators, and our customers to produce high quality medical products and services. For the past decade, the FDA and other regulatory agencies have been increasingly focusing their efforts on ensuring that the people who produce medicines and other medical products and services are qualified. The lack of or inadequate training continues to dominate the FDA's inspectional observations. In a recent 12-month period, the FDA issued more than 40 Warning Letters that pulled up organizations for inadequate training of personnel.
Having an effective and compliant GMP training program is one of the most effective ways that can assure our customers, the regulators and legislators that we produce high quality services and drug products that are pure, safe and effective.
By attending this webinar, participants will gain a better understanding of the regulatory expectations for an effective and GMP-compliant training system. The instructor will draw upon more than twenty years of working in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry and a decade of developing and delivering effective GMP training programs to explain how such training programs should be implemented in a compliant manner.
Areas Covered in the Webinar:
- The need for an effective GMP training program in your organization.
- Regulatory requirements and expectations for a well-trained workforce.
- The implementation of an effective and FDA-compliant GMP training program.
- Delivering a memorable GMP Training.
- Follow-up efforts that ensure the reinforcement of GMP training.
Who Will Benefit:
- Training Department Management
- Training Professionals
- Instructional Designers
- Supervisory Management of Operational Departments
- QA/QC Personnel
- Manufacturing Managers/Supervisors
- Pharmaceutical and cGMP Auditors
- Compliance Officers
- Validation Specialists, Scientists, Engineers
- Medical/Technical Writers
- Consultants/Service Providers
- Engineering and Design Controls Teams
- General/Corporate Counsel

Topic Background:
The life sciences industries are under a growing scrutiny from the regulators, legislators, and our customers to produce high quality medical products and services. Having qualified staff should not be seen only as a regulatory requirement. An effective and compliant GMP training program also provides a competitive advantage for our businesses. This is especially true in these difficult economic times. The cost cutting measures that organizations implement often result in the reduction of qualified staff, which leads to situations where the people who are left have to pick up tasks that their colleagues used to do. Moreover, budgetary pressures cause companies to reduce their training programs. The combination of these two factors often leads to additional stress and an increase of mix-ups, errors and contamination.

10 things you need to know following Week 1
Pro Football Focus is grading every player on every play of every college football game this season. Seriously.
That's a lot of information to take in every week of the season. Here are the 10 most important things you need to know from the action of Week 1.
1. Malik Zaire is a contender to win the Heisman.
All of the usual "it's only one game" and sample-size arguments apply here, and for all we know, Texas could be on its way to having a very rough second season under head coach Charlie Strong.
But Zaire was outstanding on Saturday in the Fighting Irish's big win over the Longhorns, completing 86.2 percent of his passes including 13 of 14 throws 10-plus yards down the field and both of his 20-plus-yard throws. He earned a +6.2 overall grade, which is a star-caliber performance — for reference, Heisman winner Marcus Mariota never produced a game grade that high last season. And more importantly, he earned a +5.6 passing grade (also better than any one game from Mariota last season).
It's not that he wasn't effective as a runner — he had a particularly nice 14-yard scramble to evade pressure for a first down in the first half — but he proved Saturday that he is a true dual-threat, something that we saw signs of in our grades for him in his two starts last season. Compared to fellow Heisman candidate Trevone Boykin, the TCU quarterback, he has displayed much more of a well-rounded game, albeit over a much smaller sample size.
We'll see if he keeps it up, but Zaire played like one of the best QBs in the country on Saturday.
2. Josh Rosen already looks better than Brett Hundley.
Speaking of impressive debuts by quarterbacks that we don't want to get too carried away with, the UCLA true freshman produced the following stat line on Saturday in the Bruins' win over Virginia:
28 of 35 for 351 yards (80 percent completions, 10.0 yards per attempt), three touchdowns, no interceptions, and a +4.1 overall grade with a +4.6 passing grade (he lost some points as a runner)
That'd be really good for any college QB in any game – much less a true freshman in his first collegiate action. In fact, it's a better game grade than any produced by UCLA's QB last season, Brett Hundley.
Rosen displayed really impressive accuracy and the arm strength to make downfield throws as well — he connected on three of his six passes over 20-plus yards, and had another dropped by one of his receivers.
3. Ohio State QBs continue to stand out more as runners than passers.
It was something of a surprise to see Cardale Jones get the starting nod of J.T. Barrett for the Buckeyes' win over Virginia Tech Monday night. Jones ended the game with a solid +1.8 grade, which came from a +0.1 passing grade and a +1.6 running grade.
This is consistent with what we saw from both Jones and Barrett last season, when each graded negatively as a passer but excelled as a runner. (Barrett earned a +0.9 grade versus the Hokies on just 10 snaps, completing his one pass attempt for 26 yards and ripping off a long run.)
All offseason, we didn't see much separation in the two players' performances from last season, but at least based on common perception, Jones is believed to have the stronger arm and be the better downfield thrower. Jones did fare well with his deep ball Monday night, completing four of his seven pass attempts of 20 or more yards for 131 yards and two touchdowns, including one drop. Jones led Barrett in this area last season as well, so perhaps that was the deciding factor for head coach Urban Meyer between the two QBs.
4. Texas A&M's Myles Garrett might be the best pass-rusher in the country.
The common narrative on the Aggies under head coach Kevin Sumlin is that the offense is consistently effective and entertaining, while the defense has been something of a mess. The opposite was true during Saturday's win over Arizona State, with the offense producing just three positively graded players (including freshman wide receiver Christian Kirk, who electrified with a 79-yard punt-return touchdown six catches for 106 yards and another TD) and the defense producing 10.
The standout on the defense was true sophomore edge rusher Myles Garrett, who produced an outstanding game grade of +8.4, including a +7.7 pass-rush grade. (Fellow rush end Daeshon Hall also received a lot of credit for the defense's success during the game broadcast, although he posted a more modest +2.4 overall grade, +1.2 pass-rush grade. That's good, but Garrett was on another level.)
5. Alabama again looks like a dominant team – with a new star at running back.
The Crimson Tide earned a blowout win over Wisconsin Saturday night, and RB Derrick Henry stole the headlines with his three breakaway touchdown runs and 11.3 yards per carry average. His game grade of +2.3 might seem modest by comparison, but his 181.3 elusive rating (our measure of how effective a running back is, independent of blocking) was off the charts.
The Crimson Tide had several more impressive individual performances, particularly in the trenches (+4.6 grade for C Ryan Kelly, +3.3 for TE O.J. Howard, +3.1 for NT Jarran Reed, +2.8 for RG Alphonse Taylor), and starting QB Jake Coker was solid in his starting debut with a +1.5 grade. He'll need to improve against pressure (he was 0 for 2 with two sacks on four pressured dropbacks) and on downfield throws (0 for 3 on attempts of 20-plus yards), but the good news is that there are several productive players around him on both sides of the ball.
6. Christian Hackenberg earned a bad grade against Temple – but not as bad as his grades last season.
We went deeper on this subject after the Nittany Lions' to the Owls Saturday, but based on our 2014 grading, it's tough to call Hackenberg's struggles against Temple a surprise.
Hackenberg was our lowest-graded quarterback against Power-5 competition last season. He ranked No. 76 out of 76 qualifying QBs. So while his -4.4 game grade against Temple was bad, he actually graded the same or worse in eight of his 13 games in 2014.
7. One of the nation's most talented running backs is already out for the season.
Pittsburgh's James Conner might have been flying a bit under the radar compared to the likes of Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott or Georgia's Nick Chubb, but he was actually our highest-graded running back from the 2014 season, ranking No. 10 in our elusive rating stat.
Conner went down with a seemingly minor knee injury in the Panthers' win Saturday over Youngstown State, but the news came down Monday that he suffered a torn MCL and will require season-ending knee injury.
This is devastating news for Pitt, as Conner was the team's best player. His replacement Qadree Ollison played well Saturday, rushing for 207 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, but producing as much as Conner did in 2014 will be really difficult.
8. Auburn might finally have a defense to match its offense.
Not unlike Texas A&M, Auburn has had a rep for being an offensive juggernaut under head coach Gus Malzahn, but not necessarily a stout defensive team. While the Tigers certainly made things more interesting than they needed to in their win Saturday versus Louisville, it has to be promising to see standout performances from three of their defensive linemen.
Defensive tackle Montravius Adams led the way with a +7.6 grade, while fellow D-tackle Dontavius Russell and defensive end also had excellent games with +6.1 and +5.2 grades, respectively. Adams and Lawson were particularly effective rushing the passer as well, and it was encouraging to see Adams post a +3.6 grade against the run. He was our No. 5 interior pass-rusher in the country last season, and if he continues to show this kind of improvement as a run defender, he could be one of the best defensive players in college football by season's end.
9. Vernon Adams Jr. was just average in his Oregon debut.
The most talked-about play in Oregon's Week 1 victory over Eastern Washington was the cheap shot that knocked Adams, the current Ducks starting QB and former EWU QB, out of the game, but that over-shadowed what was unfortunately a mediocre performance from him to that point.
Adams is expected to be fine for the Ducks' huge Week 2 game against Michigan State, and he's likely going to need to improve upon his -1.8 overall grade for Oregon to come away with the win. His stat line was gaudy, including 76 percent completions, but he wasn't one of the top performers of the week in our QB grading.
10. Braxton Miller is adjusting to wide receiver just fine.
Miller earned an impressive +1.9 overall grade in the win over Virginia Tech Monday night, catching three passes for 79 yards and a touchdown on just five targets. Look for that targets number to go up as the Buckeyes get Miller more opportunities in the open field – he forced two missed tackles against the Hokies and produced the highlight-reel play of the night with his spin move.

Do you find that strange?

Do you find that strange?
It means you don`t give your heart away easily
Have an opinion?
No, it's not strange. Everyone is different. I have a close guy friend who has also never had a true crush on anyone. He got his first girlfriend last year (they broke up like 4-6 months ago) and he only dated her because she liked him.
Eh, maybe you just have a heart that's super duper picky.
Thanks :)
Nah most people are ugly haha like me ):
Nah. There are asexual people in the world so..
I'm not saying you're one tho lol
No, I don't find it strange.
Not at all! You are probably just selectivve about who you are attracted to. 😄
What is strange is how I can have a mega crush on a guy then suddenly be turned off them when they show an interest in me 😞
nah man you're chillin
Well look who's back.
No it's not weird you'd be surprised just how many people don't have em or are rather late bloomers in that area.
It's odd but not strange
I'm the same and I consider myself normal.
... Relatively normal
