Jonathan, can you expand upon the question, "what does OEM tell you about the run-time predicates?" a bit.
Where in OEM would I look if wanted to answer that question?

The optimizer cannot ignore the index hint for that query. Therefore the hint is illegal.
The first thing to check is whether you have a column coercion issue. What are the types of the columns and of the input variables - and what does OEM tell you about the run-time predicates ?

From his hospital bed in Munich, Stefano Mauri has congratulated his Lazio teammates for topping the table.
After a 1-0 win in Week 11 over Parma, the Aquile share top spot in the table with Udinese, an achievement absent midfielder Mauri expressed his delight at.
"I suffer here in hospital in Munich, but to see Lazio at the top moves me emotionally and brings back my smile.
"Congratulations to all and a hug to Beppe Sculli who yesterday got it in the end."
The midfielder is recovering after last week undergoing surgery on a problematic thigh strain injury.
Originally he was thought to have recovered from a second degree strain after a five-week lay-off, only for it to recur more severely just a few weeks into his return.
"Unfortunately I'm stuck here. It'll be 30 days in Munich in a specialised rehabilitation centre where they look after injuries of this type.
"When will I return? I can not say too much, but I hope to be back for selection by February.
"Standing is still hard, but the guys are giving me great joy….I look forward to playing my part."

Re: Grooved fittings
Here you go,
Re: Grooved fittings
If you are asking for a measurement on take out for the couplings, fittings, flanges or valves....................that would be none.
It depends on what kind of grooved couplings you are using, in the video you posted those are zero-flex or ridgid type couplings. With the groove depth proper, when you tighten up the bolts, the contact pads actually make the coupling halves offset sideways jamming in the groove itself preventing the pipe and fitting from moving. There is also a flexible coupling made that will allow some movement and the fitting to rotate.
I always measure from the end of the pipe to end of fitting to end of valve to face of flange or what ever you are connecting to.
Hope this helps
Re: Grooved fittings
Yes, I'm talking about the take out. Let's say for argument's sake, I'm connecting two 10 foot lenghts of pipe. I'm guessing there would be a slight gap under the coupling, let's say 1/16 Inch. So my total pipe lentgh would be 20 feet and 1/16 inch when I'm done. Then for each coupling installed I'd have to add in 1/16 inch to my total lenght. Hope this make sense
Re: Grooved fittings
If you are fitting pipe with that close of a tolerance, you must be working an a space ship some where. 1/16" is not much to worry with. If you are laying a long pipe line you will need expansion/contraction joints anyway.
What size pipe are you running and what is in it?
Just cutting pipe with wheeled cutters will leave a 1/16" burr on the end.
I would not worry about it.
Re: Grooved fittings
1/16 was just a number in my example. My real scenario is working with 3 inch pipe. I have to remove a section and install an alarm check valve for a sprinkler system. So i need to know how much space these couplings take up so I can get everything to fit back into the space.
Re: Grooved fittings
Not trying to be a smart @ss or nothing but this sounds like the first time you have messed with any grooved fittings, and your title says you are in fire protection???? The company you are working for should have someone that knows what is going on.
As far as take out, just measure from end to end of the alarm valve, cut out that section of pipe and groove it, put your rubbers on, slide it in place, couple it together, and trim out you alarm valve. Is there a control valve before the alarm check?
Couple of quick questions................
1. How are you planning on cutting the pipe?
2. How are you planning on grooving the pipe? (is it sch 40 or sch 10)
3. Is the alarm check G x G or Flg X g
I hope you have someone that knows what they are doing when you take this out of service. Got any pics?
Re: Grooved fittings
I can understand your concern. This is my first time working with grooved couplings. I own the company. We normally work on fire extinguishers and kitchen fire suppression systems.(Ansul systems ) We do a lot of sprinkler inspection, testing, maintenance, etc. This is the first time installing an alarm valve. It's a 3" factory trimmed valve made by Reliable. It's grooved on the top, flanged on the bottom so I will install an adapter to go from flange to groove on the bottom. I have a Ridgid 915 roll groover and I also have a friend who owns a large sprinkler company that will let me use cutters and other tools. Normally he would do this job for me but he's way too busy so he is pushing me to do it. This is kind of like throwing someone into the deep end of a pool to teach them to swim. I hate constantly asking him questions so that's why I asked here. Thanks. Oh- yes there is a control valve before where the alarm valve is going and no there's no pictures as of yet.
Re: Grooved fittings
The standard Victaulic coupling is the Style 77. Dimensions are found in the table at the following link.
The range of gap for nominal 3" pipe is 0.00 to 0.06 inch. That is zero to 1/16".

How may I ask did you aquire a sprinkler contractors license and what state are you in. Did you not have to have a NICET level III to get a license (five years of design experience in fire protection layout, plus multipule test) or a PE (who could hold his license in any field).
This just does not make much sense to me, something is not right here.
Re: Grooved fittings
When did I get put on the witness stand here? You need to drink a beer and relax! " somethings not right here " you sound like a thrill to be around. I came on here to ask a simple question which miraculously was finally answered by BobNH. Thank you Bob for answering my question instead of giving me a pop quiz. By the way, there is no licensing in my area and in other areas I work under my friends license and he checks my work. I hope I've answered all of YOUR questions and satisfied YOUR curiosity.
Re: Grooved fittings
First off I don't drink and I'm not the one who is up tight. It's a funny thing you are getting defensive when I only asked how you got into the business with out knowing what you are doing. Not sure where you are from since you did not want to post that information, don't know of anywhere you don't have to be licensed to do fire protection work since it is a life safety system. Just as I thought, and you said it yourself "I work under my friends license". That's all that I was saying that something didn't seem right. No need to get you panties in a wad pal, if you will look back at the thread you can see that I tried to help you and was not just telling you to study the coupling and you will figure it out. It's obvious you have never done any work with grooved pipeng and I was just asking some simple questions in the begining to help you out. No I am not a thrill to be around, but at least I know what I am doing. Get you some catalogs and cut sheets and figure it out on your own next time. If you would have taken the time to study as Bob told you to do, you would not have to come to a forum to ask such simple questions. Look at my first post to you, in the first sentence, that answered your question right there.
Maybe when you flood the place out you friends insurance will cover it.
Good luck

This is a leaderless walk around Elk lake, I have posted it but will not be there. It is an easy walk just stay on the trails towards the water and you cannot get lost. For those interested just meet at the main parking lot Hamsterly beach, north end of Elk Lake.
You can get there by going north on highway 17 then turn left on Sayward Rd. The intersection where the Petrocan gas station is. Follow the road and take the first right, then next left into the parking lot.
The walk will take about 2Hrs. Wear proper sturdy footwear and be care full of the tree roots and rocks on the path. Just follow the path clockwise and stay right. If you want to go for coffee or lunch after the Broadmead shopping center is not too far away there is also Starbucks and a bakery. Enjoy!

OTC: Nick Wright Calls The Explanation "A Missed Opportunity" For Whitlock
26 Responses to OTC: Nick Wright Calls The Explanation "A Missed Opportunity" For Whitlock
Nick's part of that show was terrible. He's not even close to ready for prime time.
Greg, I hate saying it but your last two columns have been fantastic (if I never post again here it's because a bolt of lightening has hit me square between the eyes).
I would have loved to listen to Keitzman give this interview. Even though KK has the ego of twelve Whitlocks, I think his professionalism would have taken over.
At the end of the day, Friday afternoon was fantastic radio up until around 4:30. I'm not even pissed that my golf game was cancelled due to mother nature
GH: Donk, Thunderstorms forecast for Tuesday — beware.
I agree, Nick Wright ruined what up to his involvement was pretty good radio.
"walking, talking narcissist neurotic"
That's a pretty good line GH.
Ditto Donkey Punch. Good work on this one GH. I guess it's one of my guilty pleasures in reading this soap opera-esque drama in real life. I've got a pretty funny x-rated story about Whitlack that I'll share sometime. He's got a few skeletons in his closet like most, but probably more than most.
And Covitz, really? Newspapers will be gone in 10 years, if not 5 years. It's just something that is no longer useful. Like Blockbuster video.
Wright was WAY out of his league Friday. I agree with GH 100%, the interesting part of the three hours was put to a halt when Wright started lobbing softball questions and answering the staged phone calls.
I want to hear from the 'Nick Wright is a talent, 810 better watch out' group that posts on this message board. I have zero love for KK, he would have asked tougher question than the OG Gangsta' of Barstow Wright….
I like Nick Wright, but he obviously doesn't get what good radio is.
Listeners don't want to hear Jason Whtilock give a Bob Costas-like take on the big picutre of newspapers relevancy in Kansas City.
Listeners want to hear Whitlock go off on wild, interesting and borderline psycho tangents. Exactly like he did in the first 70 minutes. If Nick truly got it, he'd have crumpled up his paper of questions and pretended text messages weren't making their way into the studio.
Some may laugh, but Max, Tanna and Moffett would have done a FAR superior job than young Nick. Whitlock used to show up on their KY show and they'd either let him go off, or push one of his buttons to get him going.
The Kay Barnes call was maybe THE worst idea in KC radio EVER. The 2nd worst was Nick's idea to pepper Jason with questions about rap music.
Not "everyone" in the city was listening.
Something that others keep missing as well is the fact that Jason was working with Fannin and Zieman to become sports editor and change the overall look of the sports page. Only when Fannin suggested a co-editor did Jason turn on him and run to the media with the story of his illicit afair. Whitlock complaining about Fannin's integrity is a bit hypocritical because he was happy to cash those checks all these years and even work as cohorts the last month or two to revitalize the paper. Had Jason been given the editor job and freedom to change the department a bit, do you think he'd still be there? Hell yes…probably be at the Caddyshack with Fannin necking!
greg you are right. That was an odd couple last night. Randy looked like he was a grandpa who was caught molesting his grandson Nick. Randy kept rubbing his hands. Nick looked 12 with that buzz cut and outfit. Nick has a face for radio. Love the guy but dude needs to sharpen up if hes goign to do TV. Also with Nick's appearence does this mean 810 is no longer in bed with 5?
Those who think KK would have played hardball with Jason are giving him a bit too much credit. Kietz is the king of kissing ass while interviewing his subjects then trashing them in his next segment.
Jim Fitzpatrick
First, there's no way in hell The Star was going to make Whitlock editor, co-editor or quasi-editor of the sports page. You don't put copy in the hands of volcanic personalities.
Second, some people just aren't cut out for TV. I'm sure Covitz was just looking at the keyboard of his Underwood.
jjskck sed:

donkeypunch sez:
I disagree in the fact that KK has no love lost for Whitlock, therefore I think he could have made it her personal agenda to make him look worse. I do, however, know what you're talking about with KK, but I've seen several instances where he's been "mean" per se during an interview…see Scott Pollard interview when talking about the purchased car by Taylor
this is going to sound odd. But let me tell you who I think was a winner in this story. Though i now get the impression 41 covered the whitlock story the only channel I saw carry it was 9 and Karen Kornacky. I was very impresswed with her comments and porfessionalism. she has always been thought of as a non reporter. But she didn't shy away from this story. Good job.
craig glazer
Greg if it were not for you and Hearne, there would have been almost NO Whitlock story before it happened. You guys saw that he was checkin out, nobody else caught on til the last month or so. Nobody. Great job Greg.
The biggest blunder by Nick was simple, he asked a big question early on to Jason…"I hear Fox Sports.com is paying you 2.l million for three years!?" Nick never got an answer from Jason, Nick moved on to quickly so it hung in the air as a FACT. That was the biggest moment to most listeners…see most people don't care much about Fanin and the Star, they don't. We do cause we are in it…but people I spoke to after all said the same thing, JASON WON, HE IS GETTIN MILLIONS AT FOR…simple as that, that is all they got out of it, nothing more. Really. Money is the key to most folks about winning and losing. So most KC folk see Jason as a big winner, he is wealthy(he says) and makin millions at Fox…online….hmmmmm……that was Nick's biggest error, bar none. Wait for an answer don't jump to the next GREAT QUESTION, so fast, it's like a comic running to his next joke, so you might like that one more…etc…
Henceforth I will no longer refer to Nick Wright as "Schnoz". My new name for him is either gonna be Hiroshima Nagasaki, 'cause the guy bombed in his shot at the BIG TIME, or maybe Nick "THE SHITUATION" Wright. He had the perfect opportunity to send Jdub to the psych ward and he blew it. This was his Frost-Nixon moment and his BALLS disappear.
I find it strange that NOTHING about this has been in The Star. C'mon boys and girls for the sake of credibility; something, anything?
Smartman, they never covered this at all, they are too busy watching over the rest of us, to make sure we all behave. Seems they, The Star, need to expose themselves to save face. They won't.
Holly Lawton's poolboy
People are now finally starting to realize that the kid on 610 Sports in the afternoon is…drum roll…a kid. And not an incredibly smart one.
Shan Shariff runs circles around Wright.
Fannin needs equal time. Why not?
He is fucked anyway.
If he doesn't land a killer plum job, he should go on radio and scatter his enemies before him, in real time.
Hell, he could use that threat for a killer severance, but me personally, I hope he doesn't.
Yeah, Fannin should land a killer gig.
What a great opportunity.
Fuck it Fannin, go all in!
P.S. Smartman is right, the lack of coverage in the local fishwrap of record is inexcusable.
Hey Greg,
Your love for Covitz is shining through… care to tell the story of why he deserves to be mocked and ridiculed?
GH: I just call 'em as I see 'em. And I saw a guy in Covitz last night who is a member of the media and well within range of my OTC who I thought needed to get spanked. Worrying about whom gets their feelings hurt by what I write is not a columnist's concern…at least not this columnist. Where is all the concern when Covitz or a sportswriter rips the athletes they cover?
I remember a debate between Whitlock and KK about 5-7 years ago re. K-State's weak scheduling. It was embarrasing how badly Whitlock sounded. KK pummeled him. I think this would have had the exact same result.
Nick Wright BOMBED. WAAAAY out of his league. Whitlock dissed him to his face and Wright never said a thing to defend himself…because Jason was right. Face for radio is right. Holy crap, Wright is weird looking. The whole thing was a train wreck. Whitlock breaking down and crying was pretty strange and uncomfortable. I bet METRO SPORTS regrets having that trash on the air…oh wait, they have local Wrestling on now…
GH: "Where is all the concern when Covitz or a sportswriter rips the athletes they cover?"
Eh, there is plenty of concern expressed in these instances by those who care about those sorts of things… I just thought that maybe you had another Keitz-ate-my-baby story in regards to Covitz.
To hot for mainstream media…I thought they would regret cutting Jason loose, but never for the reasons that are emerging. I'm sure if they[Star} do take a swing it will be measured and you can count on it having some Wallop…
Don't think Joe Sixpack has any interest in who's zoomin who at The Star.
All the 610 guys suck, and Nick is just the latest. They should go back to country music.
Love the tales. Like I said last time, or awhile back, anymore Hollywood stories Glazer?

ELYRIA, Ohio (AP) – An Ohio attorney who blamed a non-existent black man for a car accident to avoid facing drunken driving charges has been sentenced to 10 days in jail.
Twenty-seven-year-old Heather Wilsey, of Elyria, was sentenced in municipal court there after pleading no contest to obstruction of official business and failure to control.
The Chronicle-Telegram reports Wilsey apologized during sentencing.
Wilsey, who is white, had told investigators that a black man she'd met in a bar was driving her car when it crashed into a utility pole in June and he fled. Police found surveillance video showing Wilsey driving away from the bar before the accident.
Wilsey's attorney didn't return a call seeking comment.
Another attorney who was in her car that night also received 10 days in jail.

Tech Giants Settle Major Employee Lawsuit
Four tech heavyweights settled a class-action lawsuit Thursday that alleged they conspired to prevent engineers from getting better job offers from competitors.
According to the The Seattle Times, Google, Apple, Intel and Adobe averted a May 27 trial in San Jose, Calif., by reaching a settlement. The lawsuit claimed these companies followed a "gentleman's agreement" where they wouldn't recruit each other's employees. Plaintiffs were seeking $3 billion in damages on behalf of 64,600 workers.
Kelly Dermody, an attorney representing the workers, called the settlement "an excellent resolution" in a prepared statement.

text: Politzmajster 0 Posted January 28, 2010 Hi all, I'm finding myself in need of new discs and pads. I'm looking for a full set. I can get set of genuine Ford parts for about £250. But I thought that there may be better solutions. I found a set of Mintex discs and pads on eBay for half the price: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220350210686&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1516wt_939 I read some good reviews of Mintex part, but it was for performance stuff and not cheap replacement parts. I know I would need to contact the seller to make sure that the rear pads are the right ones. For the price of Ford parts I could get something like that: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-MONDEO-ST-tdci-GROOVED-BRAKE-DISCS-REDSTUFF-PADS_W0QQitemZ300382820649QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item45f0361929#ht_2527wt_1165 The 40 Groove version is just blingin. The red stuff pads are highly regarded but they are usually over £50 per axle. That would mean they use very cheap discs. I know that grooved discs eat away the pads quicker. Does anyone know how much quicker? Are we talking 2 times, 3 times, 10 times quicker? Please let me know your opinions. If you aren't using Ford discs and pads, can you let me know what are you using and how happy are you with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The five stages of Post-Potter Traumatic Disorder
Nov. 18, 2010 at 5:18 a.m.
It's all getting ready to come to an end. After spending more than a decade with Harry and Co. at Hogwarts, the epic saga will come to a close next summer as the last movie, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," is released in theaters.
For many fans, this will be a trying time and you may find yourself suffering from Post Traumatic Potter Disorder. Worried that may be you? Well, below we've outlined the five stages of PTPD and what you can expect as you try to come to grips with the end of "Harry Potter."
1. Denial and isolation
The first stage of Post Traumatic Potter Disorder is denial and isolation. It's likely during this phase, you will avoid your family and friends and lock yourself in your room, where you manically churn out page after page of "Harry Potter" fan fiction, as you blare the movie soundtrack from your iPod.
2. Anger
At this stage, you will be angry that there are no new books or movies coming and will most likely direct this anger at J.K. Rowling. Eventually, however, you will realize how useless it is to be angry at her considering: 1. You don't actually know her, and 2. She's so filthy, stinking rich that even if she did know you were angry at her, she could give a owl's patootie about it.
Naturally, you will then want to direct your anger somewhere else, but just remember - no matter how much you may want to, you must resist the temptation to punch a Twi-Hard in the face.
3. Bargaining
During this stage, you will try bargaining for new Potter material, whether trying to make a deal with God, sending J.K. Rowling numerous, stalker-esque e-mails or even summoning a demon at the crossroads. You will find yourself saying things like, "In exchange for my first-born" and "I will sacrifice a Trekkie if you do this."
4. Depression
The fourth stage is composed mainly of eating more than 10,000 calories a day of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Jelly Beans (even the ones labeled "Ear Wax") and drowning your sorrows in butterbeer. Also expect rocking back-and-forth in the fetal position as you clutch your exact-replica Ollivander wand and mutter "Expecto Patronum" over and over again.
5. Acceptance
At the final stage, you will finally accept the reality that there will be no new "Harry Potter" books or movies. Feelings of wanting to kidnap J.K. Rowling and forcing her to write another book in an abandoned, snowy cabin somewhere in the mountains, a la Stephen King's "Misery," will wane. And should you find yourself slipping back into any of the other four stages, just remember, it's still bad form to punch a Twi-Hard in the face (even the annoying ones).

Kiyeng eyes gold in Rio after good run in Beijing
Wednesday January 13 2016
Hyvin Jepkemoi Kiyeng, Kenya's unlikely world steeplechase champion, is out to continue her good run at the Olympic Games to prove she is not a one-hit wonder.
After bagging gold as an underdog at last year's IAAF World Athletics Championships in Beijing, she is inspired to hold both the Olympics and world titles simultaneously.
In Beijing, Kiyeng, 23, confounded pundits when she bagged the title in a time of 9mins and 11secs, beating much-fancied Habiba Ghirbi of Tunisia and German Gesa Krause to the lower medals.
She told Daily Nation Sport that to date, her victory still seems like a dream.
"I entered the stadium hoping for a medal. But until now, I'm still surprised that I won gold, considering I was quite tensed," Kiyeng said in the interview.
"Every time I see the gold medal hanging in my cabinet, I'm convinced that another title is possible at the Rio Olympic Games, if I qualify. The victory in Beijing was the happiest moment of my life," she added.
The Beijing women's steeplechase gold was least expected after the 2013 champion Milcah Chemos missed out due to injury.
An "inexperienced" trio of Kiyeng, Virginia Nyambura and Rosefline Chepng'etich carried the country's hopes.
For the first time, Kenya topped the medals table at the end of the championship with seven gold, six silver and three bronze.
Prior to the steeplechase race, the best bet for gold at Beijing's Bird's Nest Stadium was Diamond League winner Nyambura who was in top form.
Kiyeng's 2015 season wasn't too bad. She won gold at the Rome Diamond League after finishing second and third in the Birmingham and Doha legs. But little was expected of her in Beijing.
"I felt obliged to give my all. It wasn't easy, before the gun went off, I had to fight hard off anxiety," said Kiyeng.
She stands a big chance of making Kenya's 3,000m team for March's IAAF World Indoor Championships in Portland, Oregon, USA.
While running 12 laps round a dusty surface in Kamariny Stadium, Elgeyo Marakwet County, during Athletics Kenya's grassroots races six years ago, she did not give up hope after failing to make it past the district level.
She was placed fifth at the national trials for the 2011 All Africa Games in Maputo, but was included in the team albeit as a "weak" finisher.
In Maputo, thirst for greatness pushed her to double up in the 5,000m and 3,000m steeplechase.
She won the steeplechase title but finished fourth in the 5,000m.
A year later, Kiyeng won the steeplechase bronze medal at the African Championships in Porto Novo, Benin.
"The victory in Maputo changed my focus because I decided to concentrate on steeplechase. I realised that it is the race in which I could build my career," said recalled at her village in Kipkorgot, Uasin Gishu County.

Acute Transverse Myelitis (ATM) involves a brief but intense attack of inflammation (swelling) in the spinal cord that damages myelin. Myelin is the protective covering of nerve fibers. Myelin is also called "white matter" due to its color. Because ATM affects myelin, it is a type of "demyelinating" disorder. The spinal cord transmits information between the brain and the body. ATM usually affects the middle (thoracic) portion of the spinal cord. In some cases, it can affect the upper (cervical) portion of the spinal cord.
Boston Children's Hospital treats children with ATM through our Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders Program. The program team is led by doctors specializing in demyelinating disorders, and includes a pediatric neuropsychologist, a nurse and a social worker.
Facts about Acute Transverse Myelitis:
Boston Children's is so much more than a hospital—it's a community of researchers, clinicians, administrators, support staff, innovators, teachers, patients and families, all working together to make the impossible possible.

Is there a writing style for PR?
Traditionally, yes.
PR writing style tends to be more journalistic than editorial. It's more informative than salesy.
However, since PR is now going into the realm of content marketing, writing for PR is beginning to encompass different types of writing. This includes blogging, web copywriting, and even writing for video.
But I believe the foundations for good PR writing remain. No matter what medium you're using, when you're writing for PR, you strive to be direct to the point, factual, interesting, clear and credible.
Things to Remember for Good PR Writing
1. The inverted triangle still applies
You may be familiar with the journalistic style of writing in an inverted triangle. That is, the most important elements of your article are in the beginning, while the smaller details are left for last.
This still applies, because journalists and their audiences are still as busy as ever. In fact, media consumers have more information at their fingertips and no longer have time to read an entire piece. So it's still necessary to put your main point and the basics – who, what, where, when, why and how – up top.
2. Make your piece scannable
Short paragraphs are better than long ones. Break up your article into sections and add sub-headings to distinguish one sub-topic from another. Use numbered lists or bullet points when appropriate. This makes it easy for the reader to get your main points just by scanning your article.
3. Good writing is still good writing
The basic principles of good writing apply to PR writing. These include, for example, using the active voice instead of the passive. Compare the following:
Passive: The new community
Active: The mayor launched the new community centre.
The active voice has more power and punch.
Another principle of good writing is specificity. It's better to be specific than vague, and to be concrete rather than abstract. Again, compare:
Vague: Acme Company increased its revenues last year.
Specific: Acme Company's revenues increased by 45% in 2012 compared to the previous year.
Abstract:Testers said their complexion improved.
Concrete:After 3 weeks of using Berry Eye Cream, testers reported:
- 56% had reduced puffiness
- 87% had fewer lines
- 49% had lighter undereye circles
4. Write for your audience
Your writing will improve if you remember to write for your audience. Who will read, hear or watch the piece you're writing? Imagine one person from your audience, and write for him or her. Your audience will determine your choice of words, tone, and angle.
Using this guideline, your style will be different if you're writing for potential corporate funders, vs university-age consumers, vs eco-conscious parents of children below 12.
5. Use a strong headline
Headlines sell newspapers. Even in today's social media age, headlines can still make or break a piece. Learn to write powerful, compelling headlines that make people want to read or listen to what you have to say. Start looking at your favorite newspaper or magazine and see how they write their headlines and see if you can apply it to your content.
For more details on PR writing style, consult the Associated Press Stylebook.

According to a 2011 Bain & Co. Chinese luxury survey, Gucci stood as the third most desired luxury label in the country behind Louis Vuitton and Chanel. But for Patrizio di Marco, Gucci's president and chief executive officer, that's not good enough.
In advance of a recent string of Gucci promotional events in China, de Marco admitted that he wants the label to step up its game. "What is the memory of Gucci now [in China] in the past few years is a brand that is commercially successful because it opened stores. The perception is very likely the fact that we are logo based, this kind of stuff, so we definitely have to fine-tune and fix things because the brand position as I intend it to be has not been conveyed for a number of faults that I would say are related pretty much to the incredibly fast pace of our development in the country," he said.
Gucci entered the Chinese market by opening 2 stores – one in Beijing, the other in Shanghai – in 1996. As late as 2004, the label maintained only 4 stores nationally. But in December 2011, Gucci counted 46 stores in 32 cities on the Mainland and 57 stores in Greater China among its assets. Di Marco says 10 more are on the way this year. With them, he hopes to usher in three prongs of change for his brand's image. He said, "The problem is that we have to make sure they know why we are, what we stand for, our core values, and that is something that has to be told in numerous ways. I want Gucci in every single moment of its expression to stress again the three features differentiating this brand from any other brand. There is no brand as cool as Gucci and at the same time has the craftsmanship as Gucci and at the same time [socially] responsible."
Gucci initially gained popularity in China for being a logo-heavy brand, which the new rich gobbled up in an attempt to appear sophisticated. But now, as quality, craftsmanship, and elegance take hold in the culture, the Double Gs just won't do.
Di Marco said Gucci is moving away from its Tom Ford era of overt sex and glamour to a new one of sophistication, class and femininity. Frida Giannini, Gucci's creative director, backs this move. "Honestly, I don't see that Chinese girls, they want to be oversexed, that they want to be in leather," she said. "They want to be part of a lifestyle that I think Gucci is, so this is my intention to invite people to enjoy the experience of the Gucci world instead of just selling a pair of stiletto heels with black patent leather or other very aggressive things. I would prefer that someone comes into our store to buy something of a very high quality, a very high design that they can keep in the wardrobe for the next 10 years."

The White Sandbar of CamiguinCategories Beach/Island, Spots
Contrary to common impression, the main island of Camiguin has no white sand beach. The island is an outcome of series of volcanic eruptions long time ago that volcanic rocks and sand make up its coast. The picture of the white beach we usually see in postcards is the White Sandbar northwest of the island, approximately fifteen minutes by boat.
Situated off the coast of the town of Mambajao, northwest of mainland Camiguin, the uninhabited White Sandbar offers imposing beauty with its white sand, surrounding emerald and blue water, and the towering Old Vulcan and Mt. Hibok-Hibok on the backdrop. It is generally flat, shadeless and submerges substantially during high tide, its shape and size are constantly changing due to sea current and tidal movements. Needless to say, it is one of the most photographed spots in all of Camiguin.
But the postcard perfect beauty of White Sandbar is not only above the surface because deep down the water is a colorfull world teeming with marine life. Scuba divers and snorkelers frequent the site to witness the variety of soft and hard corals that carpet the seabed and the busy underwater traffic of tropical fishes. The site is generally unspoiled and unexploited, and diveable all year round.
Although the sandbar is frequented by tourists during broad daylight, it is also great to see during sunrise and even sunset. Note that it has no shade, so get ready to be soaked in direct sunlight when going there specially at midday. Small outrigger boats that can fit up to four persons can be chartered to get to the sandbar for as low as P300 round trip, the boats are docked in the shore of Barangay Yumbing or Barangay Agoho.
Cliche as it is, but you have never been to Camiguin if you have not visited the White Sandbar, so make sure not to miss this spot. For more information about Camiguin, check out Lakwatsero's Camiguin Travel Guide.

Thoughts from the Executive Director – October 2014
Categories: News, Thoughts from the Executive Director
Dear Friends,
This has been a year fraught with strife, war, and sickness that have displaced millions from their homes, neighborhoods and countries. In numerous places around the Anglican Communion, the last twelve months have been just plain dangerous and sometimes even disastrous for our brothers and sisters.
ARDF has heard many awful stories from people suffering, particularly in Africa and the Middle East. Thankfully, ARDF donors have responded generously to these pleas for relief – primarily in South Sudan ($46,200 given) and Iraq/Syria ($100,505 given). Such suffering offers an opportunity to support members of Christ's family who are in need. As St. Paul says, "if one part of the body suffers, all suffer with it" (1 Cor 12:26).
Now, as we approach Thanksgiving, and Advent, ARDF is emphasizing clean water projects that have incredible potential to change lives in the developing world. We humans cannot live long without water—a mere 3-5 days. Water means life, and our bodies cannot function without it. Additionally, dirty water handicaps humans with debilitating illnesses that take away time from school and work, or even lead to death. Our Advent 2014 clean water video explains:
ARDF has supported four clean water projects over the past twelve months that are resulting in multiple wells and more than 40 protected naturals springs—and thousands of changed lives.
Additionally,we have two more projects in research: in South Sudan, Bishop Moses Deng needs five additional wells for the influx of 250,000 displaced persons in the Diocese of Wau, and the Anglican Church in Ica, Peru desperately needs a deep water well to provide water to an impoverished, desert community of more than 4,000 people.
ARDF's Global Trustees approved $55,877 in June 2014 to protect forty-two more natural springs in the Diocese of Buye, Burundi. New concrete access ramps will keep the springs clean, and those using the springs will be trained in proper water hygiene. This project will impact 26,430 lives.
These three projects will impact about 300,000 people who are in need of clean water—but we need your help to raise enough money to complete them.
In the same way that clean water is essential for healthy living, so too clean spiritual water is essential for a healthy spiritual life. Jesus talked to a Samaritan woman at the well about "living water," and he promised the woman—and us—"living water" that keeps the one who drinks it satisfied and even becomes within us "a spring of water gushing up to eternal life" (John 4:14 and 7:37-39)!
Will you join me in giving a special donation to ARDF this year that will allow us to complete these vital clean water projects in South Sudan, Peru, and Burundi? Maybe our Anglican brothers and sisters far away could have a conversation with someone at the well about "a spring of water gushing up to eternal life."
// Donate Now //
Best wishes for a spiritually rich and meaningful Advent.
We are so blessed to be in His Family,
Canon William E. Deiss

Premier League: Sunderland boss Gus Poyet knows results will impact transfer plans
Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has admitted that his transfer plans will be affected by the club's form in the coming weeks.
Last Updated: 13/12/13 9:25pm
The Black Cats are currently five points adrift at the foot of the Premier League table and facing a battle for their top-flight future.
Poyet, who was brought in to replace the axed Paolo di Canio in October, accepts that players will be less likely to join a club which looks destined for the Championship.
And he joked that even if he had limitless transfer funds, he would not be able to lure players of the calibre of his fellow countryman Luis Suarez to the Stadium of Light.
Poyet told the Sunderland Echo: "If I look at Sunderland as a team now and then I look at them after a win on Saturday, then it's a different Sunderland.
"But if we don't move forwards, then maybe a few of them (transfer targets) will say 'well, no'.
"It's not only about money. If we had £40million and we were going to buy my mate Mr Luis Suarez. Is he going to stay at Liverpool or come here?
"He's a good friend, but we're not that close!"
And Poyet accepts that his budget will be impacted should the Black Cats still be adrift at the bottom of the table when January comes around.
"I would imagine so," was Poyet's response when questioned on the issue.

Not to discourage constructive discourse, but ATT has a vast assortment of some of the most creatively and heavily converted armies on the web, including Farsight Enclaves, available with a simple search.
In keeping with our primers, I would recommend you browse those topics, and any others of interest, then return here to develop a log of how your FE army is coming along.

What I think for now is too add pockets and bags like this: http://www.antenocitisworkshop.com/news ... 3/07/2.png . May not be the best image but I hope you get the idea. Also I want to give some models underslung knives. What more can I do to make my army look unique and farsight themed, not just tau in red armor? I would be happy to see some conversions of yours. Thanks in advance.

It is time once again for the seasons to change and to usher in Fall. That also means for many of you that it is time to go through your closet and swap out the Summer pieces for the Fall/Winter pieces. Some of you may store your off season clothing in plastic tubs, some of you may use storage bags and some of you may simply put the off season pieces in a harder to use area of your closet.
Whichever method you use to store the clothing, we thought these 5 tips may help you out.
5 Tips for Storing Your Summer Clothes
Evaluate each item
Pick a day when you are in the mood and be merciless. Look at each item one by one and determine if you have worn it in the last 2 years. If not, let it go. Create a pile of clothing you will donate and add anything you have not worn to that pile.
Evaluate your size
No one likes the fact that they may have gained weight, and that some of your clothing may no longer fit. We all hold out the hope that someday we may get back into that dress, pair of jeans, etc. If it has been more than 2 year since you have been able to fit into the item, put it on the donate pile. It's fine to keep one or two smaller pieces if you think the visual impact of this goal to loose weight will help, but realistically if you do loose weight you'll be so happy that you will want to go out and buy new smaller clothes.
Can you bring it into the next season?
When you are looking through your items, especially simple tops, consider if they can be worn in the Fall/Winter. Tank tops and cami tops work great under open front sweaters and some of your dresses will work in cooler temps when paired with a great blazer jacket. If the pieces can cross over, don't store them.
Check the condition
Before you pack away any pieces, check for loose buttons, pulling seams, etc. Take the time to fix these issues now. If you wore the item and did not launder it, we advise taking the time to launder it before you store it. Body oils that are not visible on an item now can darken and discolor over time when an item is stored away.
Hanging vs. folding & where to store
It is personal preference how you will store your off season clothing; some people have room in their closet to be able to move the off season items from mainly used part of the closet to another area. If you don't have the luxury of all that room in the closet you will probably end up removing the pieces and storing them elsewhere. Hanging works well for items like skirts, dresses and any piece that has delicate fabric that may permanently wrinkle if packed away a long time. Think about other areas in the home that have a pole like a coat closet, basement, etc. Maybe you can hang a clothing pole in the basement for your off season clothing?
If you are storing other items like shorts, t-shirts, etc you can put them in a plastic storage crate or vacuum storage bag. The vacuum storage bags save a lot of space, but your clothing will come out wrinkled when you finally open the bag; this isn't permanently damaging to most items but they may need a fluff in the dryer to remove those wrinkles in the Spring. We don't recommend using cardboard boxes for storing your clothing because if there is moisture around the storage area (like the basement or garage) the cardboard can absorb the moisture and form a musty smell that may transfer onto your clothing. Plus, in the unfortunate event of water leaking into the basement/garage/home the clothing wouldn't be protected in a cardboard box.
Placing a closet sachet in the bins will help to keep bugs and smells away from your off season clothing.Share on Facebook

AG Rao CTO of Tata Teleservices resigns
AG Rao, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Tata
Teleservices, has quit the company amidst speculation that the company's managing
director N Srinath will shortly move to a larger strategic role in the Tata Group.
AG Rao, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Tata
Teleservices, has quit the company amidst speculation that the company's managing
director N Srinath will shortly move to a larger strategic role in the Tata Group.
A Tata Teleservices spokeswoman said Rao had been
"relieved on December 10, following his decision to pursue career
opportunities outside the company", but declined to comment on Srinath's
possible elevation to a larger role in the group. "We don't comment on
speculation," she said.
Top executives familiar with the matter said Srinath, the
former CEO of Tata Communications, had joined Tata Tele as managing director in
February 2011 on a two-year contract which would shortly come up for renewal.
"As one of the senior-most executives who has served as
CEO of two Tata Group telecom ventures and is considered close to group
chairman-designate Cyrus Mistry, Srinath's moving to Bombay House in a larger
role is quite possible," said one of these executives speaking on
condition of anonymity.
Company insiders say Tata Communications' chief network
officer and head customer service operations, Madhusudhan Mysore, is tipped to
succeed Rao as the CTO of Tata Teleservices. "Details of Mr Rao's
replacement will be announced in due course," the company spokeswoman
said, while declining to comment on who the successor will be.
These senior level management changes are taking place in
the backdrop of the company not bidding for CDMA frequencies in Assam, the
northeast, and Jammu & Kashmir, the three circles in which the Supreme
Court cancelled its licences. The company has this year following a strategy of
weeding out inactive customers and subsequently its subscriber base has fallen
from 91 million in June 2011 to 78.35 million by end-September 2012.
Tata Tele is seeking to grow its GSM services and has been
waiting to get spectrum for the last four years in Delhi and 39 districts
across nine circles. Last month, the Cabinet had approved a proposal to give
4.4 MHz of start-up spectrum to the company in Delhi at no additional charge if
adequate airwaves are available, post-auctions.
Analysts say that the company's late switch to GSM, its lack
of GSM airwaves in key markets like Delhi, and a shrinking CDMA footprint were
some of the factors that were deterring the company's growth.
"Late entry into the GSM business is always a huge
disadvantage for any telco in India. Given their continuing spectrum woes on
the GSM front, I won't be surprised if they look at combining resources with
another telco with the M&A approach," said Mahesh Uppal, director of
Com First (India).
There have been media reports about Norway's Telenor being
in talks with Tata Teleservices to combine their operations in India to create
what would be the fourth-largest mobile carrier by users in the country. But
Telenor's chief executive Jon Fredrick Baksaas has said that the Nordic telco
was not scouting for new Indian partners.

Chapter 20: The Exploration of Reality
The earliest records of spiritual research are to be found in the Rig-Veda Samhita, which consists of hymns, or Mantras, addressed to gods, or Devas, who are considered as deities or divinities capable of controlling the destinies of people. The history of the growth of the religious consciousness from its incipiency to its mightiest comprehension can be read between the lines of these sacred prayers, the Mantras of the Veda. The trend of beholding the manifold as expressions of the One, and the One as revealing itself in the many, is unmistakably traceable to the hymns of the Rig-Veda. Through a succession of this unfolding movement of religious visualisation, the Veda-Samhita proclaims its final word on the nature of Reality. The Purusha-Sukta, or the hymn of the Cosmic Person, embodies in itself the most magnificent description of the spiritual unity of the cosmos. In the spirit of a great attainment the Seers of the Veda explored the majesty of the universe as an embodiment of a Supreme Intelligence and Power hiddenly present everywhere and controlling all things as the Soul, the very Self of everything. From the recognition of an other-than-the world location of numberless deities, the vision moves to the glorious presence of scintillating gods animating all creation, who are, further, beheld as the twinkling eyes and thoughts of a boundless God in whom they are all comprehended in a single instantaneous and divisionless entirety. In the Purusha-Sukta is given, perhaps, the earliest complete presentation of the nature of the Ultimate Reality as both transcendent and immanent. The all-encompassing Purusha, who is portrayed as all heads, all eyes and all limbs, everywhere, envelopes and permeates creation from all sides and stands above it as the glorious immortal. The Purusha is all that was, is, and shall be. The universe is a small fraction of Him, for He ranges above it in the infinitude of His glory. From Him proceeds the original creative Will, later identified with Brahma, Hiranyagarbha, or Prajapati, by which this vast universe was projected in space and time. The Purusha-Sukta proclaims once and for all the oneness of God, the universality of religion, the organic inseparability of the constituents of social structure, and the utter imperative of it being not only possible but necessary for everyone to realise in direct experience the Supreme Being, the Infinite Person, in an act of inner awakening. The Seer of the Veda loved humanity and creation as much as he loved the Almighty God.
The Nasadiya-Sukta of the Rig-Veda proclaims, for the first time, intimations of the Seer's sounding the depths of being. The astounding vision of the Transcendent by the relative is the apparent theme of this famous hymn. The Ultimate State is here depicted as not capable of being designated either as existence or as non-existence, for there was none, then, to perceive it, before the manifestation of the heaven and the earth. There was only an indescribable stillness as it were, deep in its content and defying approach to it by anyone. The Sukta says that there was neither death nor immortality, for there was no differentiation whatsoever. Naturally, there was neither day nor night. There was only That One Presence, throbbing in all splendour and glory but appearing as darkness to the eye that would like to behold it. There was nothing second to it; It alone was. From It creation arose. However, how it all happened no one can say, for everyone came after creation. This is the central point of the Nasadiya Hymn, varied forms of the development of which lead to many ramifications of philosophic and religious meditations, in the Upanishads and the later established forms of religion. In a famous Mantra, the Rig-Veda declares that "Existence (or Reality) is One, though the wise ones call It by various epithets like Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, Yama, Vayu", thus unifying all the gods in a singleness of Being.
The Rudra Adhyaya, or the Satarudriya, a hymn of the Yajur Veda, is a thrilling invocation of the Supreme Being as Rudra-Siva, wherein He is addressed in all the visible and conceivable forms in creation. The Almighty Lord is the big and the small, the gross and the subtle, the low and the high, the distant and the near, the visible and the invisible, what is and what is not. Every type of individuality, form and action, every category of living species, everything that is animate or inanimate, all that is gracious and all that is frightening, and every deed that man is capable of doing, all things through which nature works and is revealed, are adored as the forms of Siva, or Rudra, presenting an impossible method of approach to the Impossible God of the Universe.
The quintessence of the Veda Samhitas, and their hidden purport is said to be codified in the Upanishads, which unveil Truth without the embellishments and formative features through which it was seen in the Samhitas. The Upanishads hold that the pleasures of the senses are ephemeral, as they wear away one's energies and tend to one's destruction. Even the longest life with the greatest pleasure is worth nothing. The only desirable aim in this world is the knowledge of the Self, the Atman. The pleasant is one thing and the good is another. Both these come to a man together for acceptance. The wise one discriminates between the two and chooses the good rather than the pleasant. The foolish one chooses the pleasant and falls into the net of widespread death. By knowing It Reality, everything is known at once. One who knows It becomes It. Reality transcends the three states of waking, dream and deep sleep. It is the cessation of all phenomena, the peaceful, the blessed, the non-dual. It is Truth, Knowledge, Infinity. One possesses all things simultaneously and becomes all things at once, and enjoys all things instantaneously, who realises Brahman as identical with one's own being.
The Infinite alone is bliss, there is no bliss in the small and the finite. Where one sees nothing else, hears nothing else, understands nothing else – that is the Infinite. Where one sees something else, hears something else, understands something else – that is the finite. The Infinite is the immortal. The finite is the mortal. The Infinite is in front, behind, to the right, to the left, above, below and everywhere. It is all this at the same time. For one who knows this, everything springs from his very Self. The universe, manifest as well as unmanifest, arises for him spontaneously from his Self and serves him without limitation of time or place.
No one loves an object for its own sake. All love is an inspiration come finally from love of the Universal Self. Things are dear because of the Infinite that peeps through them. The Infinite summons the Infinite in the perception of the beloved. Persons and things are not dear for their own sake. Though all love has a selfish origin in the world, it has a transcendent meaning above the phase of the seer and the seen. Anyone who, by an error, regards anything as being outside oneself, shall lose that thing, whatever it may be.
Where there is duality, as it were, there one sees the other, smells the other, speaks to the other, tastes the other, touches the other, thinks the other, understands the other. But, where the One alone is, who can see what, and by what, who can hear, smell, speak, taste, touch, think and understand what by what? How can one know that by which alone one knows all these things? How can one know the knower? This is the great admonition, this is the treasure-house of knowledge. If one were to give the whole earth as a gift for the sake of this knowledge, one should regard this knowledge as greater than that. Lo, this is greater than all things. Whosoever has his Self awakened within himself commensurate with all things, he is verily equivalent to the Creator of the universe, he becomes the doer of all things; this universe is his, nay, he himself is the universe.
The sacred lore of the Veda consists of the body of hymns known as Samhitas; expository texts on the rituals and methods of sacrifice known as Brahmanas; sylvan texts for contemplation in retreat known as Aranyakas, and mystical meditations known as the Upanishads. The Vedic knowledge is a blend of the highest kind of education of the inner man, through which one is enabled to possess in practical life and experience not only the glories and joys of the world in their fullest measure, but also to transform oneself into an embodiment of the highest form of righteousness and justice, and a moving representation, as it were, of God, the Almighty.

Welcome to 31 Days of Connection! It's been a while since I jumped on board with #writing31days (actually I only did it one other time 3 years ago on my other blog). The posting on this blog has been scarce lately but what better way to get back up and running than with daily posts for the month of October!
31 Days of Connection
What do I mean by Connection? When we look at all of our relationships, whether with our families or friends or with strangers or customers, we see that we need good relationships in all of these areas in order to have a meaningful life. Good relationships happen because of connection. Though connection can happen instantly, it usually comes from putting forth effort and needs continued effort and improvement in order to sustain those connections.
Brené Brown has a great quote about Connection:
"I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship."
If you take a step back and look at your life, I think you'll see that focusing on connection in your personal and professional life will yield growth for you and richer, stronger relationships all around. I'm writing this series for myself as well. I can see that I need to put some work into achieving and maintaining connection in many areas. And I think we should work on it together!
I will be posting about the many different ways we connect and how we can work to improve those. Some ways will be obvious; some will be more subtle; and some will overlap with each other. By breaking this topic down into daily chunks, we can take just a few minutes each day to think about a way that we connect and focus on it for that day. Each day I will be including a challenge related to that topic. This is to help us get out of our comfort zone a little and work to improve our many relationships.
I will be including the links to all the posts right here for you, so if you miss any along the way, just come back here and click on your favorites. Are you ready? Let's do this!

Initialisation and transient data output in Star CCM+
I have two questions -
1) I am trying to initialise my transient run from a solution of a different run? Is that at all possible with STAR-CCM+? Any help would be most appreciated.
2) For transient data output in STAR-CCM+, is the autosave option correct? If so - does the final result have an automatic link to all the other transient files (like other software like CFX have)?
Any quick help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Georgios,
first the second part: No, ccm+ will NOT link to the other files from the transient run - at least not in the current versions. There will be an enhancement, but I don't know in which version it will be released. So just be patient.
for the first question, yes, it's possible, but there are several ways and it takes a lot of memory.
One way is to export the mesh of the transient run. Import it to the sim-file (for safety, safe the sim-file under a new name) of the simulation where you want the initialization from. There will be a new region (or several region when your transient run includes more than one), and now you can right-click on the old region and choose "Replace region", choose the new one in the opening window and depending on your precision requirements, "use higher order stencil for interpolation" (take care, it will need a lot of memory. I estimate, at least 2 - 2.5 GB / 1 million cells). It will take some time.
The other way is to export the mesh and solution data (at least velocity (as a vector) and pressure and tke and tdr as scalar data. Hold Ctrl while selecting several scalars in the export window) of your old file.
Then open your new sim-file and import the mesh (the old solution will be imported as well).
Then go to Tools -> Data Mappers, right-click -> new
Choose source and target volumes (regions, source is the imported one), select the scalar and vector data to map and other options you may want.
The right-click on this data mapper and choose "Map Data".
After the mapping is completed, go in the physics continuum to the folder "Initial Condition" and set field functions as initial values and choose the appropriate field functions, e.g. "Mapped Pressure" as field function for pressure, "Mapped Turbulent Kinetic Energy".....
And enjoy the hopefully faster convergence of the simulation ;-)

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has apologised for getting himself sent off at the weekend, but has faith in his teammates to do well in his absence.
After striking Napoli's Salvatore Aronica and receiving his marching orders on Sunday, Ibrahimovic was hit with a three-match ban on Monday, [12] which rules him out of clashes with Udinese, Cesena and Juventus.
Milan are planning to appeal, with the belief that it is similar to last season's incident between the Swede and Bari's Marco Rossi, which was reduced on appeal from three to two games.
Receiving the Tapiro d'Oro award, a mock award handed to players who have tripped up in some way or another, Ibra apologised.
"I did a stupid thing. It happens, it happens. I have to learn when I am wrong. I don't need the television pictures to know what I did. I messed up.
"I have confidence in the team. They will do well without me."

RIALTO >> A crash between a big rig and an SUV on the 210 Freeway Wednesday morning left one woman dead and three others hospitalized.
Around 5:15 a.m., a tractor trailer going eastbound on the 210 Freeway, just past the Alder Avenue on-ramp, crashed into the rear of a Lincoln Navigator that was stopped on the shoulder sending both vehicles spiraling out of control, California Highway Patrol officials said in a written release.
A 60-year-old woman was ejected from the SUV and was later pronounced dead at the scene by medical emergency responders, according to the CHP.
CHP officials said two other passengers in the SUV were seriously injured and were taken to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton. The driver of the big rig, Sukhdev Singh Bains, 54, of Bakersfield, sustained minor injuries and was also taken to ARMC.
Witnesses to this crash are asked to call the CHP San Bernardino division at 909-383-4247.

Song's Acupuncture and Herbal Clinic
Our Mission
Our goal at Song's Acupuncture and Herbal Clinic is to help you achieve and maintain a state of health so you can pursue your goals and lead a truly fulfilling life. As a holistic healing art, it is incongruous to "specialize" in any one area of health when even something like a simple headache can stem from a multitude of physical, nutritional, environmental and emotional factors. That being said, some of the areas that we have had extraordinary success in are:
- Infertility
- Anxiety / Depression
- Stress Management
- Headaches / Migraines
Classical training in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Kiiko Matsumoto style Japanese Acupuncture, and Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture gives us unparalleled flexibility in dealing with even the most difficult health issue.
Click here for a more complete list of conditions addressed by Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine
How It Works
The theory that the ancient Chinese used to explain how acupuncture works is that the acupuncturist maintains and balances the flow of energy (referred to as Qi) in the body through the use of acupuncture needles inserted in acupuncture points. This restores the proper flow and balance of energy, allowing the body to naturally and properly deal with the problem causing the health issue.
Click here to read more
Looking at a person's health in a linear fashion, we find on one end health, or the natural state of being, and on the other end, disease. Everything from headaches, to neck pain, to common colds, to the flu, to depression, to menstrual irregularities, to infertility, to hypertension (and the list goes on and on) lies in between. AOM works along this entire spectrum, effectively treating those on even the health end of the spectrum. By managing stress, reducing aches and pains, balancing out highs and lows, an AOM practitioner can intervene before these apparently innocuous problems can take hold and progress in to more serious problems.

Covington Advises Charles Stanley Securities and WG Partners on the Admission to AIM of Venture Life Group plc
March 28, 2014
LONDON, 28 March, 2014 — Covington & Burling advised Charles Stanley Securities acting as nominated adviser and WG Partners acting as financial adviser and broker to Venture Life Group plc, the international consumer healthcare company, on its admission to AIM.
On admission to AIM, Venture Life will complete the acquisition of Biokosmes Srl, an Italian company which develops and manufactures topical products, including cosmetics, dermo-cosmetics and medical devices.
The proceeds of the placing will be used to satisfy the initial consideration payable for the acquisition of Biokosmes, as well as to fund the strengthening of Venture Life's commercial team, new product development, and collaboration projects, particularly in China and the Far East. The market capitalisation of the company at admission will be £26.4 million.
The Covington team was led by partner Natalie Walter and was assisted by partner Kristian Wiggert and associate Sarah Hoult.
