Polar bears are struggling as global warming melts their ice, yet each year the fossil fuel industry receives billions in subsidies to continue peddling the dirty fuels that are spewing global warming pollution into our air--and putting the future of polar bears in grave danger.
President Obama has just proposed a federal budget that will cut $41 billion in tax breaks and subsidies from Big Oil and their allies.
Our friends at USAction are sending a message to Congress, urging them to support the proposal to end billions in subsidies to the oil, gas and coal industries. Please join me in adding your name to the petition today.
Take action for polar bears by urging your members of Congress to stop billions in subsidies to Big Oil.
Does this email look funny? View it online here
Enough is Enough. Make Big Oil pay its fair share.Dear Daniel,
Every year Congress hands out billions in subsidies to the fossil fuel industry a colossal giveaway that wealthy oil, gas and coal companies don't need. Those billions could be used instead to pay for important domestic programs at a time when Congress is grappling with ways to reduce the deficit.
Enough is Enough!
Tell Congress to stop the handouts to big oil.
Our country faces a fundamental choice over the relationship between government and its people. It's beyond outrageous that politicians in Congress are considering massive cuts to important things like clean energy and natural resources while giving away $122 billion in subsidies to the oil, coal and gas industries.
President Obama has proposed a budget that will cut $41 billion in tax breaks and subsidies from the big oil companies and their allies.1 But we need your help to convince Congress. Will you join us in telling Congress to end the $41 billion in subsidies to the oil, gas and coal industries?
Most Americans, regardless of their political views, strongly favor ending these subsidies. Congress, stuffed with campaign donations from fossil fuel companies, is ignoring the will of the people, so we need to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Please sign our petition asking Congress to eliminate the tens of billions of dollars in free money to the fossil fuel industry. .

The Tree of Savior team has a new post to give a few details about the transition from Early Access to free to play. From the 21st of April through the 27th of April, Early Access packages will go on Steam sale for 30% off the normal price due to the shortened amount of time players will have access to the Founders' server.
When F2P launches, the team will keep the Founders' server as the only one if and until there is a need for more servers to be added due to increasing numbers of players. Developers feel that this will keep servers full, including the Founders' server. If at some point in the future, founders wish to transfer to another server, those who purchased the exclusive access will be given a one-time Team Transfer to do so.
Through our past experience, we've discovered what we call an optimal player-per-server ratio to allow pleasant gameplay. After looking at the data, we've decided to be more conservative than usual and lower the player-to-server ratio in order to make sure that there will be no waiting queues as we promised.
We will have additional servers on standby in case there is a sudden influx of players when the servers open. An announcement will be made 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to opening those servers in such case.
Read the full notification on the Tree of Savior site.
Check out the purchase data by region below.
That being said, we will consider creating regional servers later down the line if we see enough support from those regions. Most importantly, we will be offering a 1-time Team transfer to regional servers if and when they are created. Only 1 Team transfer will be offered to each Steam account.

4 myths about "Dreaming Big" busted!
What is it you truly want? The thing you haven't shared with anyone (yet). That big audacious something that scares the sh** out of you as in your heart of hearts you know in an ideal world – if money wouldn't be an issue – if someone would give you a magic wand – that's what you would put your time and effort into.
But what happens?
Reality happens.
We tell ourselves it's not possible, it's ridiculous, we won't make money from it and we need money to put food on the table for our families, right? We don't have enough time,…

Capital A List – Celebrity club news – 2nd November
Celebs were out in force last night celebrating Halloween in Mayfair, with reality TV stars Louisa Zissman and Ollie Locke leading the trend of superhero themed outfits . Louisa was out on the town yet again, this time at Mahiki where she decided to go decided to go dressed as Wonder-Woman. Her outfit featured a star spangled skirt, red corset top and matching cape with Wonder Woman logo on the front and she showed off her legs to perfection by wearing a sexy pair of fishnet suspenders. We don't remember the original wonder woman wearing those but they do add a nice touch. Ollie on the other hand was dressed in a not quite so sexy fake-muscle Superman suit.
Apprentice runner-up Louisa made the time to post a quick photo of her night out on twitter for her followers, appropriately titled 'to the rescue', and she wasn't the only one keeping her twitter followers up to date. Ollie also felt the need to share "I have been told to put talcon powder under my costume… However I'm terrified I'm going to end up in a full on Ross Gheller situation" Now that we would have liked to see!Continue Reading →

Lily Allen's been keeping a low profile recently but last night she joined forces with Mr Robbie Williams to perform at One Mayfair for this year's Unicef Halloween Ball. The 'Smile' singer obviously went all out with her alien costume as she was dressed literally from head to toe in green. Lily chose to rock a green sequinned dress, matching leopard print tights, an alien headband and she wore green body paint with sequins around her eyes. She even added a green Chanel bag as the finishing touch.
Lily and Robbie took to the stage to keep guests entertained at the bash hosted by Lauren Laverne and Steve Jones which had a host of other celebs attending including Gemma Arterton and Jodie Kidd. Lily belted out hits with Robbie including new track Dream A Little Dream from his upcoming album Swings Both Ways.This is far from Robbie Williams only performance in Mayfair he performed a hugely successful set at Cafe De Paris in the past, and seeing as this event raised raising £3 Million for charity we're thinking there may be a few more to come in the future.Continue Reading →

One of the things we love about Prince Harry is his determination. He's not the type of person to let a little thing like a broken toe stop him from partying at Mayfair members club LouLou's, and we wouldn't be surprised if we see him out at his regular haunt Boujis some time soon. Apart from partying the prince has other things on his schedule such as his 208 mile 'Walking with the wounded' South Pole trek for charity next month. Far from resting however, the prince stepped out dressed in a navy blue blazer with white t-shirt and bright blue trousers for a smart understated look.
Harry's girlfriend Cressida Bonas chose not to join him on this occasion but this didn't seem to put a dampener on the prince's evening who enjoyed watching Cuban band Buena Vista's Social Club perform. Recently the couple have been inseparable,enjoying several dates together including a romantic a James Blunt concert. Hmmmm, we think maybe after that ordeal Cressida had doubts about Prince Harry's taste in music and chose to give this gig a miss. We're sure they'll be seen out in Mayfair together again in no time though.Continue Reading →

It seems like David Gandy just can't catch a break. After bumping into his ex Mollie King at Rose club last month, the Dolce and Gabbana model now has another ex to avoid when he's out in the Mayfair scene. Les Miserables star Samantha Barks was pictured partying at celebrity favourite Mahiki for her 23rd birthday with a bunch of her friends, drinking one of their famous cocktail fishbowls.
The ex couple's relationship didn't get off to the best of starts with the Model firmly stating he was single in an interview after they began dating. Hmmm. Luckily that hiccup didn't stop them moving forward as they continued seeing each other, but it seems the couple have chosen to call it a day after 5 months due to schedule conflicts. Samantha looked far from heartbroken as she took to stage for an impromptu performance, in a stunning plunging fuchsia dress. Now that's the way to beat a break-up!

Fresh from wowing audiences with his Saturday night X-factor performance, R&B star Robin Thicke hit Boujis in London. The 'Blurred Lines' singer left his army of scantily clad dancers behind instead choosing to spend the night partying with his stunning wife Paula Patton, and who can blame him? The model/actress was looking effortlessly gorgeous in a white and gold outfit though slightly ruining it with the black tights and scarf as she made her way out of the club. We can't really blame her though,the English weather is no joke sometimes a girl's gotta keep warm.
The couple looked happier than ever and it seems the controversial singer was on his best behaviour after last times infamous nightclub photo incident. You know..the one where he was caught getting a little too up close and personal with a fan. Look closely at the photo and you'll see what we mean. Busted! The high school sweethearts have obviously put that incident firmly behind them and the singer only had eyes for his wife the entire evening. Very wise Robin!Continue Reading →

Doctors in support of law reform for voluntary euthanasia
To the Editor: The perspective of the Doctors for Voluntary Euthanasia Choice needs to be challenged.1 Firstly, irrespective of one's views on the matter, it does not seem reasonable for euthanasia to be legalised so that doctors can avoid the scrutiny of the law. Secondly, the authors point out that "pain may not be a prominent symptom, making death by morphine legally unjustifiable", therefore implying that morphine has a "double effect" of sedation and hastening death.
The claim that morphine has efficacy in causing death is erroneous. The principle of "double effect" was first expounded in a trial in 1957, where prosecution and defence expert witnesses differed as to the excess or otherwise of the amount of opioids delivered by a doctor in unrecorded doses to a patient.2
The prevailing medical view then was that morphine in high enough doses caused respiratory depression and consequent death, implying that morphine influences its timing and causation. However, experience over the past 5 decades has shown that the safe and effective use of morphine, other analgesics and sedatives relieves pain and distress but does not cause death.3…

Every wonder where McDonald's stands on the whole marijuana debate in America? Well, if you happen to be cruising by Exit 451 on the New Mexico-Colorado border, you'll see which way that specific Micky D's leans.
This specific franchise recently put up a new billboard advertising its green-chile breakfast burritos, and the whole thing didn't go down without a weed pun. Did we mention that the big guys at corporate are allegedly pissed about this?
PHOTO: @McDonalds billboard joke goes viral https://t.co/dAqwqGgqx7 pic.twitter.com/vxUMxnPUmt
— KRON4 News (@kron4news) June 3, 2017
"Usually, when you roll something this good, it's illegal!" the fast food restaurant sign reads. Kind of hilarious and brilliant advertising, don't you think? You have to remember that the location of the billboard is a key factor here. Pot is legal in Colorado and not in New Mexico.
The internet seemed to enjoy this stoner joke, but corporate wasn't "lovin' it." When reached out to McDonald's for a comment, a representative told HuffPost, "This local franchise billboard does not meet our standards and is being taken down."
Uh oh. We're guessing someone got in some pretty big trouble for this…but hey, we're writing about it, aren't we? In the end, the exposure and little laugh can't hurt business, right?
Especially if you've got a bad case of the munchies, duuude.

Subscribe to Alpha M. on YouTube
Imagine that exercises are like family members- some make you who you are and some you don't really want to deal with. If Alpha had to pick two 'parents' for building a great well developed chest, flies and body weight dips are his choices. Alpha can't tell you which he loves more- flies or dips, but he can tell you that he has been doing dips before he even started manscaping!
Aaron Marino of alpha m. is talking about body weight dips today. The dips stretch and tear, working that chest more than bench press and cables. Because body weight dips are so challenging, an assisted dip machine is present in most gyms. If you can't perform dips, use this machine.
Alpha demonstrates. With dip machines, the wider out is more challenging. Change the hand position inward to make it less challenging as well as to take pressure off of the shoulders. His elbows are out with the body staying in an upright position. Stay at an even tempo. Shoot for around 3 sets of 10 -20. If you can do 20, add some weight.

Hey Ladies,
My first Co-Ord set I've owned and I've been dying to get my hands on one! I absolutely love this one from In The Style and had to have it! It arrived in such nice packaging too; a pink jiffy bag with a little handle! The pink palm tree print is so bright and vibrant against the white background and both pieces have a zip up the back for ease of putting them on. The shorts are fully lined for that extra security when wearing white and the fit is really comfortable too. I'm just hoping it stays nice enough for me to have an excuse to wear this soon!
Love Sarah xo

I have fallen in love with you all over again.
I didn't want to, but I just can't help it. There you all, calling my name just like you used to. You flirt with the idea of us being together again, promising cozy evenings by the fire, legs intertwined on the sofa, sleepy gazes and red wine. You know how to lure me in. It's how you carry yourself through the curving hills and valleys of the icy landscape. It's in your bright blue skies that I swim around in, losing thoughts of reality. It's the way we dance together through this magical motion – swaying and flirting. It's how you make me feel alive and capable and strong and worthy. It's how you never really left me and waited patiently – just for me – all this time.
And this time, I am staying for good. I can't leave again. Because this…this is love.

Hello Again!
July 17th? Where has the time gone? After such a wild weathered June that caused so much havoc and damage it feels so late in the season already. We are still busy continuing our replanting of summer crops we lost over June and maintaining other summer crops and planting fall crops already. Our peppers and eggplant that flooded are finally blooming and have some immature fruit on them. Our new cucumbers and beans that we replanted from the flood are starting to look great, and we will be beginning harvesting our potatoes soon. We can't tell you how sorry we are for the rough weather June we had. It has been such a devastating season for us. We know that we haven't had as much produce diversity so far in our CSA season as we would like, and know that as a consumer that must be a little disappointing. We know there are items that we have given a lot this season so far but we are giving you all that we have. We hope you understand that we can't control the weather and are so sorry that the first part of our summer season has been a little less bountiful that we had striven for. We hope to continue the rest of the summer season and fall with lots of bounty!
In other business, we will officially be having an open farm evening on Sunday August 10th. Mark your calendars for the evening and we will start around 6:45 and be open until around 9:00! We will provide more details soon! If you remember when you signed up we had stated that there will be a one week break in August. This last CSA pickup before the break will be Thursday August 31 and Monday August 4th. Thursday the 7th and Monday the 11th there will be no CSA pick up.
This week's share:
3 lbs bulk mixed beets
bunch carrots
bunch swiss chard
bunch collards
basil bags
fresh dill
green onions
two heads garlic
one jalapeno
zucchini/summer squash
some recipes:
Garlic and Cilantro Marinated Chicken
4 chicken leg quarters, cut into pieces (or whatever chicken cuts you prefer)
3 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped
1 Cup Cilantro, finely chopped
4-6 green onions, finely chopped
1 Jalapeno
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 Tbls Water
1 tsp Honey
1 tbls Lime juice
Combine all marinade ingredients and pour in a plastic bag and then add your chicken pieces. Coat the chicken in the marinade well and let is sit for at least 3-4 hours or best overnight. Removed the chicken pieces from the bag, and throw on the grill or in the oven until meat registers to 165 degrees
Roasted Beet Salad with fresh dill
2-3 lbs mixed beets
6 shallots, finely diced
1 bunch fresh dill leaves, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar or rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Sour cream for garnish
Scrub well, trim ends, then place beets on a baking sheet. Roast until cooked through, about 1/2 to one hour depending on the size. Allow to cool, then remove the skins (they should slip off with your fingers). Cut beets into 1/2inch wedges and place in a medium bowl.
To make the vinaigrette, whisk the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl. Drizzle vinaigrette over beets and toss to combine. Serve on plates with a dollop of sour cream.
Beet and Bean homemade Veggie Burgers
Makes about 6 burgers
3 large beets (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup brown rice (uncooked)
1 medium yellow onion, diced small
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free, if necessary)
2 (15.5-ounce) cans black beans
1/4 cup prunes, chopped into small pieces.
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons brown mustard
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 large egg (optional for non-vegan burgers)
Salt and pepper
To serve:
Thin slices of provolone or monterey jack cheese (optional for non-vegan burgers)
6 hamburger buns
Heat the oven to 400°F. Wrap the beets loosely in aluminum foil and roast until easily pierced with a fork, 50 to 60 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, bring a 2-quart pot of water to a boil. Salt the water generously and add the rice. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the rice until it's a littlebeyond al dente. You want it a little over-cooked, but still firm (not completely mushy). This should take about 35 to 40 minutes. Drain the rice and set it aside to cool.
Heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt. Stir the onions every minute or two, and cook until they are golden and getting charred around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. A few wisps of smoke as you are cooking is ok, but if it seems that the onions are burning, lower the heat. A dark, sticky crust should develop on the bottom of the pan.
Add the garlic and cook until it is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the cider vinegar and scrape up the dark sticky crust. Continue to simmer until the cider has evaporated and the pan is nearly dry again. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Process the oats in a food processor until they have reduced to a fine flour. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
Drain and rinse one of the cans of beans and transfer the beans to the food processor. Scatter the prunes on top. Pulse in 1-second bursts just until the beans are roughly chopped — not so long that they become mush — 8 to 10 pulses. Transfer this mixture to a large mixing bowl. Drain and rinse the second can of beans and add these whole beans to the mixing bowl as well.
Use the edge of a spoon or a paper towel to scrape the skins off the cooled roasted beets; the skins should slip off easily. Grate the peeled beets on the largest holes of a box grater. Transfer the beet gratings to a strainer set over the sink. Press and squeeze the beet gratings to remove as much liquid as possible from the beets. (You can also do this over a bowl and save the beet juice for another purpose.)
Transfer the squeezed beets, cooked rice, and sautéed onions to the bowl with the beans. Sprinkle the olive oil, brown mustard, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, and thyme over the top of the mixture. Mix all the ingredients until combined. Taste the mixture and add salt, pepper, or any additional spices or flavorings to taste. Finally, add the oatmeal flour and egg (if using), and mix until you no longer see any dry oatmeal or egg.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to a refrigerator container, and refrigerate the burger mixture for at least 2 hours or (ideally) overnight. The mix can also be kept refrigerated for up to three days before cooking.
When ready to cook the burgers, first shape them into burgers. Scoop up about a scant cup of the burger mixture and shape it between your palms into a thick patty the size of your hamburger buns. You should end up with 6 large patties.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add a few tablespoons of vegetable oil to completely coat the bottom of the pan. When you see the oil shimmer a flick of water evaporates on contact, the pan is ready.
Transfer the patties to the pan. Cook as many as will fit without crowding; I normally cook 3 patties at a time in my 10-inch cast iron skillet.
Cook the patties for 2 minutes, then flip them to the other side. You should see a nice crust on the cooked side. If any pieces break off when you flip the burgers, just pat them back into place with the spatula. Cook for another 2 minutes, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 4 more minutes until the patties are warmed through. If you're adding cheese, lay a slice over the burgers in the last minute of cooking.
Serve the veggie burgers on soft burger buns or lightly toasted sandwich bread along with some fresh greens.
See you from 5:00-7:00!

Skip to comments.Dan Wheldon (Reigning Indy 500 Champ) Dies After Massive Crash in Las Vegas
Posted on 10/16/2011 3:21:06 PM PDT by drewh

I agree 100%.....Those cars are just jet wings on wheels and once a front tire looses contact with the pavement, they go airborn
I didn't see this live; I was at another race event at Laguna Seca. But a few of us got word of the crash during the lunch break yesterday. I watched the clip when I got home and couldn't get through the entire clip.
R.I.P., Dan.
IMO, putting 34 cars on a high-banked 1.5-miler is just asking for it. With a smaller field (and maybe fewer rookie drivers) they might have been okay there.
But myself, I prefer watching them run on flat ovals; those require the driver to do something besides stand on the throttle.
There were at least 2 cars that went airborne on the clip I saw. Seems like the open wheel cars have a propensity to leave the ground if they rear end another one. It happens in F1 also..

text: Hi all there, I need to know if there's a registry trick / tweak to make Windows Defender works again in Windows 8.1 Professional WMC RTM when by default (into the Windows registry) the Program files directory is no longer C:\ (the Windows O.S. partition) but a different partition on the same HDD. Same question for some other program files (Wordpad, Photo viewer, etc.). Everytime I change that value into the registry those programs ends working, and I cannot fix them in the registry, even as admin, because I'm not allowed to. Any help is really welcome. Regards.

In this article, we will ponder the conundrum of the Seasonal method to set up a Zi Wei Dou Shu chart. This had been debated since a long time ago but these days, it is extremely rare to see practitioners utilising this method of setting a chart. 24 Seasonal Markers (Jie Chi; 節氣) is a summation of the 2 solar terms per month (each month 30.44 days: refer to Solar calendar). Season derivation is used by many Chinese Metaphysics applications like Bazi, QMDJ,etc. Zi Wei Dou Shu uses the Lunar calendar as a convention. By and large, ZWDS practitioners do not utilise seasons but there are exceptions. On a philosophical basis, disciplines like Bazi is of 氣, whereas Zi Wei Dou Shu is that of 數 application.
There is this line in 紫微斗數全集 (ZWDS Complete Volumes) under 紫微斗數總訣, which states "不依五星要過節,只論年月日時生" and this can be interpreted that reliance is not used in the five stars and calculation of seasons to designate life palace but merely that of Year, Month, Day and Time. The five stars in questions are the five luminaries/planets of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn used in archaic astrology like Guo Lao Xing Zhong. The word 節 in the GLXZ tradition is been confused by many Chinese Metaphysicians on the very basis that it actually refers to Middle Solar Term (中氣) instead of Seasonal Markers. In GLXZ, the designation of Life Palace is based on degree of the Sun, and Sun conjunction in palaces based on usage of Middle Solar Term than say Seasonal Markers.
In the paradoxical world of Zi Wei Dou Shu, there are existing proponents of the usage of Seasonal Markers in setting of charts. 張耀文 (Zhang Yao Wen) made his appearance in the '60s and set up his school of ZWDS known as Tou Pai/Ming Cheng Pai (透派/明澄派) and aside from its connections with Japanese ZWDS (refer also: 阿部泰山/Taizan Abe, 鲍黎明/Bao Li Ming) it uses Seasonal Markers (other characteristic of Tou Pai is for canonisation of ZWDS stars). In his book 紫微闡微錄, he mentioned that all setting up of life palace requires usage of seasonal marker, and when pass Li Chun utilise Yin month, otherwise count as Chou month of last year. Setting of Body Palace refer to first day of month, without using season marker. His interpretation of ancient text is as such "不依五星, 要過節" which translates to no reliance of five stars, but season is to be used.
Famed researcher/writer 紫微楊 (Zi Wei Yang) had recalled in the book "紫微新語" about the conundrum with an encounter he had with a cab driver who queried, "If I was born in the Eighth Month but passed the Han Lu (寒露) seasonal marker, should my birth month be Eighth Month or Ninth Month?" There are two school of thoughts. One reckoned that the seasonal marker should be done away and just consider the eighth month for calculation. The other reckoned that the birth month is still raised at eighth month, but the month stars are to be calculated at ninth month in consideration of season. This is tricky on the premise that the month stars consisted of Zuo Fu and You Bi. Second consideration is that these stars are subjected to transformation, albeit under Hua Ke. In the month stars series besides Zuo Fu and You Bi, there are Tian Xing, Tian Yao, Tian Ma, Jie Shen, Tian Wu, Tian Yue and Yin Sha nine stars, and aside from that, we use Zuo Fu and You Bi also to derive San Tai and Ba Zuo.
In Ziping Bazi, seasons play an important role, with reliance especially on the month setting. The Chi forms a basis of the "changes" within the chart, the foundation of the Shen Sha that are been used. Almost the entirety of Chinese cosmology revolves around Chi and its cycles. Yet ZWDS is divorced from this usage. The metamorphosis of Chi leads to creations of Shen Sha, Month series Stars and most importantly the Four Transformers. It is hard to imagine how it is possible to not associate the Four Transformers of Zi Wei Dou Shu from that of this Chi interplay. Another feature that is a stark embodiment of the Chi, lies in the very star Tian Ma. Tou sect ZWDS is not very popular these days, so there are not many people using season to derive charts, and until these methods are subjected to further empirical testings, we will stick to the effective Lunar method for now.

Animals that are treated
Method of treatment using animals is called animal therapy and this is understandable, because in English this word means "treatment of animals". Of course, we are not talking about any violent methods. From such procedures, no creature gets hurt. Basic observation of their behavior calms us and leads to a state of calm. As for Pets, they often are responsible for the harmony of family relations, can improve the atmosphere in the house. Those who have the family all right, and you can buy tickets to the theater, relax with the whole family on the weekends. Often our four-legged friends become the sole interlocutors for those who have no family. In this case, a pet can support, to listen, to understand its owner.
It is recommended to have Pets for those who have children. The fact is that in this case four-legged friends contribute to the development of a sense of responsibility in children, improve concentration, provide an opportunity to develop the skills of verbal and non-verbal communication. Agree that this is very important!
So, what are these animals and what can cure us. Let us understand and we'll start with the usual dogs. As to their nature, these human companions are known for their loyalty,kindness and a high level of mental development. Continue reading

What is a Pension?
To many people pensions are often seen as a confusing subject, full of complicated regulations and financial speak. When it comes to financial retirement planning, many people don't know where to begin, especially when there are so many other financial commitments in everyday life. Despite this, a pension can be one of the most effective and tax-efficient ways to save for retirement, and if you make arrangements now, it can make a big difference to your future life.
In the UK, pensions fall into a number of different divisions:
- Basic State Pension
- Additional State Pension (State Second Pension)
- Personal Pensions
- Occupational Pensions
- Stakeholder Pensions
- Group Personal Pensions (GPPs)
- Self Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs)
How Do The Different Pension Schemes Work?
The majority of pension schemes work in the same way - whilst you are working, you pay a small amount into your pension fund, or, in the case of the State Pension, you pay National Insurance directly from your wages to the government. When you stop working (or reach State Pension age), you then receive regular payments based on the amount you have contributed.
Brief History of the Creation of Pension Plans
The basic state pension (which was formerly known as the 'Old Age Pension') was introduced in the UK at the beginning of 1909, following the passage of the 'Old Age Pensions Act 1908'. A pension of 5 shillings per week (equivalent to around £19 in modern day terms) was payable to a person with an income below £21 per year (equivalent to around £1,600 today), or a pension of 7 shillings per week (equivalent to £28 today) for a married couple. At that time the qualifying age was 70, and the pensions were subject to a means test.
Nowadays, women over the age of 60 and men over the age of 65 are entitled to claim state pension, although from 2010 the state pension age for women will rise, eventually reaching equality with the male pension at the age of 65 by 2020.

Nowadays degree programs in Management are becoming increasingly popular at colleges and universities throughout the United States, Canada and the rest of the world. There is a demand for qualified individuals who have the necessary management, leadership and communication skills needed in any business or organizational activity to accomplish the desired goals, use available resources efficiently and effectively increase profits! We would like to provide you with an opportunity browse through one of our management personal statement samples. To write a great personal statement, you need to know how one should be structured and organized. Our service hopes that this sample will help you write your own effective personal statement.
Take a look at international studies personal statement and make your writting better!
In this age of information technology, increasing commodification and high-impact globalization and glocalization, the entire world is undergoing an all-encompassing and profound transformation. Any nation's economy is likely to exceed or exhaust the boundaries and capabilities of its domestic market, natural resources and human resources in its attempts to expand, grow and perpetually increase profits. This is why economies are constantly expanding on an international level, outsourcing domestic labor forces and searching for ways of expanding markets. The physical, geographical and subjective boundaries that are associated with nation-states are no longer compatible with the concept of a national economy. The intensification of international competition is bound to result in natural resource reallocation on a global scale. Implementing cross-population and trans-cultural management systems while competing on an international scale is a challenging task for developing countries. Based on this broad and critical analysis of our current economic situation, I have decided to apply to an undergraduate program in Management and Economics to further expand my knowledge and skills.
I have plans to pursue a Master's program in management where I can study and research how the international economy operates and how multinational company apply effective management strategies. I was the top student of my high-school class, not only because of my consistent number high rank in terms of academic performance but also because of my role as a major organizer of several extracurricular activities related to journalism. As vice-head of our university's radio station, I have produced many special feature programs. I worked as an intern at a local newspaper and at XX Provincial TV Station where I won a provincial-level award in appreciation of my journalism skills. I was the assistant producer of a special show about the XX Province in a serial program "Across China" by XX's Cable TV. In addition, I have a unique advantage – have completed a Bachelor's degree in English for Science and Technology. My previous academic success and practical application skills will help me work towards completing an advanced degree program. I started my bi-degree program in business administration during my sophomore year. I valued this important opportunity as I discovered that it is the subject of which I am truly passionate. Throughout this program, I systematically studied all the relevant management courses including the Human Resources Management, Marketing and Market Planning. My academic performance in this program was satisfactory and I managed to achieve a high GPA score. In May 2002, as one of the few student delegates, I participated in the Third MBA Development Forum in China held in the City of XX.
I helped my advisor to prepare his presentation and I interviewed leading scholars and business entrepreneurs from all around the world. This experience broadened and deepened my understanding of management and academic perspectives. My distinguished academic performance during the first three years has qualified me for a Master's program in Journalism. I have a clear vision of my future academic pursuits and career objectives. Therefore I have declined the offer in favor of applying for a more advanced education in management, a discipline with Western origins. Management science is undoubtedly a field of study whose teaching and research stem from Western universities. I am also determined to apply for a Master's program in The London School of Economics and Political Science. Your university has a unique academic ranking as one of the best educational institutions in the world and boasts an unparalleled reputation in the western world as having the largest number of leading scholars working in their respective fields. Situated in London, this program will not only expand my professional knowledge but also broaden my sociological understanding.
Recently, I had applied my highly-developed and acute research skills to a major university research project. For an entire year from December 2002 to December 2003, as the sole undergraduate of the research group, I took part in the Study of XX City's Specialized Water Management System, which is part of the country's "863″ key scientific and technological research program undertaken by XX Blue water Science and Technology Company.
I performed a field study of the water resources in the XX region of XX City and collected, sorted, grouped and analyzed data and provided valuable reference materials for the entire research group. In addition, I proposed that Build-Operate-Transfer system could be employed to construct a small-scale waste-water treatment plant.
I participated in a wide variety of extracurricular activities. I learned dancing during my childhood and became the leader of my school's dancing team. Our team launched performed neighboring provinces. Representing XX Province, I participated in China's First National Dancing Contest for University students, where I won the third prize.
Moreover, as a key member in the Student Management Committee of our university library, I organized a campus-wide book-reading festival.

Marketing to millennial travelers isn't impossible. You just have to keep a few best practices in mind.
The Destination Marketing Association International (DMAI) Annual Convention is the event for marketing and management professionals to gain insight and inspiration inside and outside of the industry. This year the YouVisit team had the pleasure of saying bonjour to the 2017 DMAI conference in Montreal. We sampled every croissant in the Old Port, experienced why Montreal is Canada's No. 1 city for hotel business (shout out to the amazing Le Petit Hotel), and enjoyed some strangeness at the Le Quartier des Spectacles that rivaled some of the strangeness of our native NYC.
We also witnessed the great rebrand reveal: Destination Marketing Association is now known as International Destinations International. Plus, we attended some amazing panels and showcased three brand new virtual reality travel and destination experiences at our booth:
Visit Houston
Visit Oakland
Visit Philadelphia
Virtual Tour
Here are our four big takeaways from the event.
Inclusion and diversity
From gender and race, to big and small locales, destination marketers are focused on the wide variety of travelers and making them feel at home. Dylan Thomas, founder of Atlas Obscura, shared how his business gets locals and visitors to submit their favorite off-the-beaten path destination points by crowd sourcing. From root bridges in India, to a clown themed hotel outside Las Vegas, Atlas Obscura includes different perspectives to provide a more robust, vibrant, and inclusive travel guide with something for everyone.
Tech is taking over
Long gone are the days of the travel brochure. Potential visitors are searching for an online glimpse of their travel destination before hitting the "book" button. The DMAI tradeshow floor included Google, which demonstrated some of their recent mapping projects, and a number of different vendors focused on video-driven storytelling.
The YouVisit booth featured immersive VR experiences that allow cities like Oakland, Houston, and Philadelphia to showcase the multiple destinations of one city, while offering potential travelers the the opportunity to choose-their-own-adventure within the experience. Tech is making it easier for visitors to research travel and obtain a try-before-you-buy experience, which often leads to real-life purchasing. As Evita Robinson, founder of Nomadness Tribe, put it: tourism "starts digitally and grows into real-life travel."
Age is only a number
Today's young people often get labeled the "tech generation." Visit Lexington's VP of Marketing, Gathan Bordon, asserted that "millennial is a mindset." In his panel, Bordon pointed out that we're all "digital natives," noting that we can't expect tech to only reach one demographic. According to Bordon, people consume 639 minutes of media a day, which means:
- Screen time doesn't have an age bracket
- destinations must fine-tune their digital marketing strategy.
The key takeaway: Don't cater your digital strategy exclusively for the young. Everyone is digital-first.
Most travelers fear being labeled as tourists. It's the job of the travel marketer to help reduce that fear. So how can destinations break out of their own city's cliches? By making a statement and showing your city's story.
What's your story?
In her panel "The End of Tourism as We Know It," Wonderful Copenhagen's Director of Development, Signe Jungersted, declared that most travelers fear being labeled as tourists. It's the job of the travel marketer to help reduce that fear. So how can destinations break out of their own city's cliches? By making a statement and showing your city's story. Highlight the local, home-grown flavor with bite-sized content that visitors can pick and choose from. This gives visitors the chance to choose their own adventure based on the level of "tourist" they're comfortable with.
Destination marketing is about showing off a city's special spaces: from city parks to a hidden speakeasy, every city has unique offerings that complete its story. We had a great time touring Montreal, debuting our latest VR destination experiences, and gaining invaluable insights from the panels. DMAI–excusez moi, Destinations International–is one of our favorite conferences of the year.
Check out some of the visual highlights below. See you in Anaheim in 2018!

Fires were set in the drapery sections of both the Hecht's and Woodward & Lothrop department stores at the Columbia Mall yesterday afternoon, officials reported.
Damage is believed to total as much as $200,000, investigators said.
Employees and customers at both stores discovered the fires shortly before 4:30 p.m., said Deputy Maryland Fire Marshal Bob Thomas.
Both stores were evacuated and the fires were quickly extinguished by the stores' sprinkler systems before Howard County firefighters arrived.
The stores are at opposite ends of the mall in Howard County.
State fire investigators determined that the fires had been deliberately set and in a similar fashion. No suspects had been identified last night, Mr. Thomas said.

What Is Animal-Assisted Therapy & How Does It Work?
Most people love animals and find them to have a calming effect on their psyche. As Psychology Today discusses, human coexistence with other animals is factored into our DNA as we are pack animals by nature.[1] For this reason, it can feel rewarding to care for and spend time with an animal because it was advantageous to us from an evolutionary standpoint.
Further Reading
It's not just about what animals can do for humans. While making an animal happy is not particularly complicated, humans can experience immediate gratification when they care for animals. In short, the happiness-making is reciprocal between humans and other animals.
Research Findings on Effectiveness
According to the majority of research, animals can effectively enhance therapeutic healing in humans.[2] The following is a brief overview of some of the research findings on animal-assisted therapy in different contexts:
- A Purdue University study reviewed 14 clinical trials that considered the impact of animal-assisted therapy on children with autism spectrum disorders. Each of the clinical trials revealed that the children who received animal-assisted therapy showed improvements in 27 of 30 of the treatment outcomes measured.
- One study surveyed 28 separate animal-assisted therapy research projects conducted from 1997 to 2009 in the context of treatment for people with schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, Down's syndrome, and developmental disabilities. Each of the 28 studies found that the participants with these (and other) disorders who received animal-assisted therapy received benefits that the control group did not.
- In a neuroscientist-led review of 28 animal-assisted therapy studies conducted from 2005 to 2011, 26 of the studies reported beneficial outcomes for participants who received this form of treatment.
Note: A review of 49 animal-assisted therapy studies, including 19 unpublished dissertations of PhD candidates, supported the "file drawer effect" (the tendency for research studies with positive outcomes to be published while studies with negative outcomes are not). The unpublished works showed a lower incidence of positive results compared to the published ones. This finding calls into question if animal-assisted therapy is effective enough to qualify as a legitimate therapeutic approach.[3]
Although animal-assisted therapy is not without its critics, the general tenor is welcoming. To illuminate this point, consider the experience of Cynthia Chandler, professor of counseling at the University of North Texas and an author on the topic of animal-assisted therapy.[4] Chandler has been working and volunteering in this area for nine years (and counting) at an inpatient psychiatric hospital. Chandler has found that some of the benefits of animal-assisted therapy defy quantification but are entirely evident to her in practice. For instance, Chandler works with her dog, Bailey. The healthy, loving, and caring relationship Chandler has with Bailey serves as a positive model for clients and helps them to feel safer, which in turn promotes greater participation in therapy. These types of soft effects may be difficult to research, but as animal-assisted therapy works on the level of the psyche and emotions, its contributions go undetected in many ways.
Animal-assisted therapy has also withstood the test of time. While this practice gained legitimacy in the mainstream therapy community in the early 1990s, in the late 1800s, Florence Nightingale made significant discoveries in this area.[5] It is a little-known fact, but true nonetheless, that the founder of psychoanalysis, Freud himself, incorporated his dog Jofi into some of his psychotherapy sessions with clients.[6] Animal-assisted therapy found its way into the life of some of the most prominent healing workers of the 19th and 20th century, such as Nightingale and Freud, due to its observed benefits and not simply human love for animals.
What Are the Benefits?
Stated most broadly, animal-assisted therapy has been shown to:
- Promote positive emotions and improve mood
- Support the development or expression of empathic skills
- Improve social interaction and communication skills
- Boost confidence
- Ease anxiety
- Reduce feelings associated with low mood, such as loneliness, insecurity, sadness, social isolation, and anger
A 2007 study discussed in Psychology Today provides further illumination of how animal-assisted therapy is particularly effective at improving a recipient's psychological health.[7] The study focused on equine-assisted therapy and found that those who participated in the clinical trial immediately, and at the six-month follow-up mark, showed significant improvements to their mental health. The benefits were found to be akin to the level that accomplished meditators report. The analogy of animal-assisted therapy to meditation itself speaks to the healing effects animals can have on the psyche.
Positive Results
The 2007 clinical trial participants reported that they were better able to:
- Live in the present moment, similar to the "Be Here Now" advisement of the Harvard psychology professor turned spirituality guru Ram Dass (formerly Richard Alpert)
- Feel less regret and less weighed down with worries and regrets
- Decrease feelings of resentment towards others and guilt in general
- Have a more positive future outlook and less fear of the future
- Feel more independent, in control, and self-supportive
Animal-assisted therapy along with animal ownership and pet therapy also provide physical health benefits. Research in the area of cardiovascular health shows a positive link between having a pet and improved heart function. In 2013, the American Heart Association advised the public that having a pet, particularly a dog, likely reduces the risk, or may even play a causal role, in the reduction of the risk of cardiovascular disease.[8] Further, a 1995 sub-study led by the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial involved 369 participants who had a heart attack (myocardial infarction). At the one-year follow-up mark, the heart attack survivors who owned dogs had a significant increased survival rate (the mortality rate was 4.05 greater for those survivors who did not have a dog). In short, the study showed that dogs provided a survival benefit that could not be explained by other factors, such as the person's demographics and other psychosocial factors.[9]
Animal-Assisted Therapy for Substance Abuse Recovery
The species of animals that have been incorporated into substance abuse recovery programs vary widely and include but are not limited to dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, llama, rabbits, dolphins, and wolves. A drug rehab center may host therapy animals that travel to the site at an agreed-upon schedule for sessions, or the center may house the animals permanently, such as some equine therapy programs that maintain stables.
As the sessions are therapist-led, the therapist is licensed to handle the particular species of animal that is involved in the animal-assisted therapy. When rehab centers offer animal-assisted therapy, they typically list this service on their official site as well as in brochures. The specific species of animal involved will likely also be discussed. The treatment schedule will include the time and days that are set aside for animal-assisted therapy. Many centers make participation optional.
As canine-therapy and equine-therapy are the two most common types of animal-assisted or pet therapy offered in drug recovery programs, they will be further elaborated upon in this discussion. Although open-water dolphin therapy is only reportedly used in Hawaii, a brief discussion to this approach is made as an example of how far-reaching animal-assisted therapy can be. While it appears that animal-assisted therapy is beneficial overall, the particular type of animal species involved can influence the process and for this reason a closer look at some animals is helpful.
Oxford Treatment Center provides a program that's structured to include a rich range of experiential therapies in which each patient will take part
