New York, US (PANA) - Despite great strides in the advancement of gender parity, women still lag behind men across an array of critical areas, from political representation and wage equality to education, the UN said on Friday as it kicks off its annual observance of International Women's Day.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who spoke at an event tagged: "Advancing Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women and Girls for a Transformative Post-2015 Development Agenda", admitted that the world had seen "important advances" for gender equity over the past two decades as women's participation in political life had increased, maternal mortality had dropped, and the gender gap in primary education had closed.
Ban, however, said the gains had been too slow and too uneven, adding "We must do far more to accelerate progress everywhere, and we must acknowledge the gaps and chart the way forward."
He said that there were still five countries where not a single woman was represented in parliament, while eight countries still lacked a woman in the cabinet.
Ban noted that, the scourge of early and forced marriages continued to violate the rights of girls, women still did most of the world's unpaid and low-paid work and many women around the world were still denied their sexual and reproductive health rights.
The UN chief said: "This year we have a unique opportunity to end these wrongs and deliver on the promises of Beijing Platform for Action, which is the international blueprint for gender equality and women's empowerment.
"Gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls are essential to our sustainable future."
The secretary-general also said that, as the UN prepared for the upcoming 20th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, the organization would lead the charge on gender issues over the next week through a number of major events, including an International Women's Day march that would wind its way from UN headquarters to New York's Times Square on 8 March.
In addition, the UN has been generating significant momentum and urgency in the lead-up to next week's annual session of the Commission on the Status of Women, the two-week event exclusively devoted to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women which will bring representatives of UN Member States, civil society groups and UN entities together to take stock of where women stand today.
Also speaking, UN Women Executive Director, Ms. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka urged governments to adopt a three-pronged approach in order to remove the root causes of gender equality.
She said that, only with tireless political will, increased resources, and strong accountability could the global community formulate a bold enough agenda to pursue gender equality by 2030.
Ms. Mlambo-Ngcuka also explained that, governments were the primary duty bearers, and governments must repeal discriminatory laws that inhibited the ability of women to obtain credit, own land, move freely, and take responsibility for their own bodies and health.
"The transformative social changes necessary to push forward gender parity must not exclude the private sector either," she observed, noting that, "it had a very significant role to play in investing in the economic empowerment of women."
Employers must make far-reaching changes to employment terms and conditions for
women: Equal pay for equal, decent work.
Mr. Sam Kutesa, the President of the UN General Assembly warned that the persistent issues of gender inequality needed to be addressed through frank conversations and bold decisions for the international community to successfully reach the future sustainable development goals.
The deep-seated norms, beliefs and practices that contributed to gender-based discrimination must be confronted and changed, Mr. Kutesa declared.
"We must support a zero tolerance policy on the structural causes of discrimination against women and eliminate the laws and practices that perpetuate gender inequalities.
"There is no shortage of evidence that when we support the fundamental freedoms of women and girls, they are able to realize their full potential to engage in, contribute to and benefit from sustainable development.
"In doing so, we will all reap the benefits; in our homes, throughout our communities, and across our nations.
In an address to the event, Ms. Michaelle Jean, Secretary-General of La Francophonie and former Governor General of Canada, stressed that gender equality and women's empowerment, including in the economic sphere, access to quality education and training, enhanced participation in decision-making and complete access to sexual and reproductive health services, were not only the business of women.
"All this must be a matter for women and men and requires an early awareness of young minds, because these are the prerequisites for a sustainable economic and social situation, to the entrenchment of democracy and the rule of law, as well as peace," she said.
She stated that these were, above all, fundamental and inalienable human rights.
"It is through this prism that that the world must, 20 years later, look at the record of the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, and it is through this prism that we must understand the post-2015 development agenda," Ms. Jean said.
She noted that through the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) process, there had been progress in achieving targets in the areas of girls' education, access to employment and parliamentary representation.
"But are we entitled to congratulate ourselves as millions of women and girls are still excluded?," she asked, noting that, "normative advances and declarations and resolution we adopt year after year, are nothing without implementation, if the principles and laws made and they are not applied and if the support structures needed to achieve them are not created".
She emphasized: "So do not give in to those who would, in the name of custom, culture, religion undermine the hard-won rights and principles…do not give to those who question the universality of values and principles that honour human family.
"It is that spirit, and with the tenets of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights squarely at the fore, that the international community must find, preserve, revitalize and relentlessly pursue efforts to recognize in practice, equality between women and men, as well as a recognition of the specific rights of women. "The goal is ambitious, but it is achievable!"
According to UN Women, approximately 50 per cent of women worldwide were in paid employment – an increase from 40 per cent more than 20 years ago.
In the international sphere, meanwhile, the global community has widely acknowledged the need to increase women's role in peace building in post-conflict countries, boosting women's presence in area traditionally dominated by men.
"Nonetheless, the data also paint a startling picture: today, only one in five parliamentarians is a woman while, at the present rate of progress, it will take an estimated 81 years for women to achieve parity in employment. At the same time, the pandemic of violence against women and girls affects one in three women worldwide," it said.

Real-Time Visual Tracking through Fusion Features

(This article belongs to the Section Physical Sensors)
AbstractDue to their high-speed, correlation filters for object tracking have begun to receive increasing attention. Traditional object trackers based on correlation filters typically use a single type of feature. In this paper, we attempt to integrate multiple feature types to improve the performance, and we propose a new DD-HOG fusion feature that consists of discriminative descriptors (DDs) and histograms of oriented gradients (HOG). However, fusion features as multi-vector descriptors cannot be directly used in prior correlation filters. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a multi-vector correlation filter (MVCF) that can directly convolve with a multi-vector descriptor to obtain a single-channel response that indicates the location of an object. Experiments on the CVPR2013 tracking benchmark with the evaluation of state-of-the-art trackers show the effectiveness and speed of the proposed method. Moreover, we show that our MVCF tracker, which uses the DD-HOG descriptor, outperforms the structure-preserving object tracker (SPOT) in multi-object tracking because of its high-speed and ability to address heavy occlusion.

Pup Picnic
Pup Picnic: The new kind of dog bowl
Pup Picnic
Pup Picnic: The new kind of dog bowl
Pup Picnic is a 2-in-1 dog bowl with a water bottle attachment. This allows any disposable water bottle to attach to the bowl and act as a feeder. There is a barrier in the middle of the bowl so that it can hold both food and water. Eliminating the need to have 2 separate bowls.
What sets Pup Picnic aside from other dog/ pet bowls is that the water bottle attachment on the side allows for average disposable bottles of water to be screwed into it, acting as a feeder this will prolong the amount of time between refilling the bowl. We also wanted to centralize all your pets basic necessities in one place, rather than have 2 separate bowls. By having bowl with both food and water in one place it can be very convenient to either have at home or take it to go.
The story behind Pup Picnic:
In the summer of 2016, Suffolk University student Joe Tassinari was on a camping trip in Maine with several friends, one of whom brought his dog. At the end long ride up from Boston, the dog couldn't wait to get out of the car. The following day after canoeing, and drinking a few beverages, he noticed that his friend was constantly walking back and forth from his tent back to the campfire to keep checking his dog's water bowl. This is when the idea for Pup Picnic was born.
The Funds that we raise will go towards paying a professional CAD designer to get the final design for Pup Picnic and paying our logo designer.
Reward Levels:
The chihuahua:
Cute dog pictures emailed over to you.
The shitzu:
A bag of homemade dog treats
The Yorkie:
A dog bandana, a bag of homemade dog treats, and a stick.
The Golden Retriever:
A dog bandana, a bag of dog treats, and a 2018 dog calendar.
The Dalmatian:
A dog bandana, a bags of dog treats, and a picture of your dog on a 2018 dog calendar
The K-9 Police Unit:
A dog bandana, a bag of dog treats, and your dog as the cover model and under one month of a 2018 dog calendar.
Risks and challenges
Risks and Challenges:
Some of the challenges that Pup Picnic faces is making sure that we get the highest quality of work from our CAD designer. The water bottle attachment must be designed very carefully in the mockup so that the average water bottle can be screwed in with ease. Once we have our CAD design finalized we can then move onto the next step of finding a manufacturer for Pup Picnic, so we can take it to the next level.

Muppet Question # 5 Answered
Adam asked me the following question almost a month ago:
At Monday, September 05, 2005 6:05:14 PM, Adam said...
Why do you like the Muppets so much?
Well, Adam, thank you for asking. (And my apologies for the tardiness of my reply.)
I suppose the simple answer is because I have always loved them, and it takes me back to my childhood, and I still find them adorable/funny/clever/an escapism today, and because now that I know so much trivia and stuff about them, they've become 'my thing'. People see the Muppets, they think of BEVIS.
But let's look into each of the above 'reasons' a little more closely. Let's scrunitise the logic a bit. As the highly-regarded female philosopher B. Ohn-Say once sang, 'Break it down, now!'
1) I have always loved them – a fairly simple statement; as if written by a simpleton, in fact. A totally self-contained phrase that doesn't really tell us anything useful.
2) It takes me back to my childhood – well, so do chocolate sundaes, but you don't see me setting up whole blogsites on the topic, do you!*
3) I still find them adorable/funny/clever/an escapism today – congratulations, sad sack. Maybe you need to get away for a while. Or get out more often. Or get a life, even. Retard.
4) I know so much about them, they've become 'my thing'. People see the Muppets, they think of BEVIS – this is possibly the cheesiest and most ridiculously arrogant and self-involved thing I think I've ever said. What a tosser! I'd let down my tyres in the car park, if I were you.**
Yep, I'm in a bad mood with myself at the moment, and I'm not even sure why. OK, yeah – it's Monday and I'm tired and I could be out there being fun and wacky, but instead I'm sitting at my desk, blogging myself, and I have a meeting in a couple of hours that's sure to put me to sleep.
Adam, I guess you got your answer, anyway. Because I'm a very sad case indeed.
But I suppose being sad makes me happy, because even in this dark moment, I still think of the Muppets and feel myself being filled with happiness and joy. They're very good at doing that. So I like them. Much.
* I think I'll do this, actually. Good idea!
** No, not you, Riss. Because you actually know which car is mine.


text: So I got a fantastic deal today on a first gen 8 gig iphone with applecare! Its in pretty good condition, the only wear being around the top of the phone and even then, the wear isn't that bad. Things went good as I was testing it out, however, once I got home, much to my dismay, the vibration motor stopped functioning! I don't think its software related unfortunately as when you flick the silent switch, you can hear a very faint click-click. However, like the subject says there is a tiny dent near the silent switch. Though its possible, I highly doubt it was because of dropping the phone, given that the major wear and tear seems to be towards the top of the phone, along the rest of the body, theres a few faint scratches here and there, but nothing huge. I am aware that apple won't cover drops, but if its decided that the phone was dropped, will the warranty be void? Or is that stipulation just simply to keep people who abuse the casing from getting a new phone. I'm not exactly concerned, as the price was good enough that I'm sure I can at least break even as is, but if I decide to keep it, it'd be nice to get it fixed. Trying to find warranty description on apple site, thought I'd post here too in the meantime. Thanks!

Sorry about the delay in the web reports .... just been too busy in the shop to get on the computer to type something out !! Fixing all of anglers problems and splicing fly lines !
Had some good reports for a couple of boating anglers trolling over the last few days who have headed out from Tokaanu. Seems to be Pink Turbo flashes and Spotty Golds doing the trick. One angler reported boating 12 fish today !
Some anglers reported the Tongariro coloured up quickly today and after about half an hour cleared again .... possibly a slip ??
In general most anglers are still catching fish with the odd few starting to find things a little tricky, or possibly have lost their mojo .... or having trouble reading the water ( having trouble keeping up with the changing river due to the floods) ... other anglers reporting "seeing" other anglers land in excess of 15-20 fish.
In the meantime some of the new younger anglers like "Mini Seth" here have been having a ball.
(Below) The other day I was talking about "fishing" versus "catching". These days a lot of anglers only tend to be focused on catching ... got to have the most fish, got to have the biggest fish (i'm almost over hearing about how big fish are, how small they are etc), but are they becoming detached from what fishing may actually be about ? Here are some pictures below that I call "fishing" .... there's more to fishing than catching fish ..
... sleeping, relaxing, not working, spending time with mates ....
.... enjoying a nice evening out.
So, if you are keen, send in some "fishing" photos rather than just "fish" photos.

DEFENDING Frizzell county champions Surrey finally found their form this season to beat current leaders Nottinghamshire inside three days at Trent Bridge yesterday.
Resuming on 95 for six, the hosts were skittled for 176 despite a defiant half-century stand from overnight pair Paul Franks and Steve Elworthy and the departure of the former for 25 to Azhar Mahmood signalled the beginning of the end.
Elworthy hung on bravely to reach his half-century and he was last man out for 52.
Middlesex have a tough task on their hands to avoid their second defeat of the season when they resume the final day at Lord's 172 behind Lancashire's imposing first innings of 565 for seven declared.
The home side lost six first innings wickets yesterday as they progressed from163 for four to 304 all out as Gary Keedy finished with six for 68.
Ed Joyce made 53, Paul Weekes 39 and Ben Hutton 33, but it was not enough and Red Rose skipper Warren Hegg enforced the follow-on.
Second time around Andrew Strauss led the way with 50 not out off 98 balls as he and Sven Koenig (35no) reached 89 without loss as they battled to avoid defeat.
Inspirational performances are required at Edgbaston if there is to be a positive result between Warwickshire and Sussex.
The home side lead by just 134 with seven second-innings wickets remaining after Tim Ambrose (85) and Matt Prior (84) pushed Sussex from 116 for three overnight to 367 all out.
Mohamed Sheikh finished with four for 60 but Warwickshire's second innings began badly as South African-born Jonathan Trott and Tony Frost were dismissed cheaply. Mark Wagh (38) and Ian Bell (35no) took Warwickshire to 79 for three at stumps.

The Ordinary Moments 16 #9 ~ The Half Way Point
It's hard to believe but we are now half-way through the summer break. I almost feel as though we have wasted the last three weeks as we haven't really done much at all. One of the (few) benefits to having a communal garden is that we have ready made playmates for Cheeky Chap. As long as it is a dry day, we are able to send him out into the garden and, more often than not, at least one other… Continue Reading "The Ordinary Moments 16 #9 ~ The Half Way Point"
Disappointing Summer Holiday
I'll be honest; this summer holiday hasn't been a huge success. I had grand plans of doing lots of fun things, having day trips out and generally creating memories with Cheeky Chap but those didn't quite materialise, partly due to the weather (is it me or has it been the most miserable summer in a while?) and partly due to my recovery. I have been so tired and drained of energy. Despite the warnings of a long recovery period I… Continue Reading "Disappointing Summer Holiday"

Sure, we've done all of the local parks, several times and he's spent a lot of time outside in the garden with neighbours when it's dry but it still doesn't feel like we've done much. If you're a parent of a small child, I'm sure you know what it's like. With another four and a half weeks until he returns to school,… Continue Reading "A Kings Camps UK Summer"


text: I have been thinking about this for months and after an exhaustive search of everything (research) I have come to the conclusion this is what I want. This equipment fills my needs. This is all coming from Adorama: 1. Nikon D90 with 2 lenses: 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 ED VR and the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 ED-IF AF-S VR. ($1499) 2. Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens ($109) 3.

SanDisk 8GB Extreme III SDHC card 30 MB's Edition ($79) I can get all of this with 3 day shipping (UPS) for $2,030. All are Nikon USA warranty and Adorama is a authorized reseller of Nikon as most of you know. My question is that a good setup and price (I come here last because you guys are great and knowledgable). Also is there anything else I need. I already got a nice tripod. I know I threw a lot out there and I'm sorry. I know I can probably find a few of the items a little cheaper somewhere else, but I want to buy it all in one place just in case they might give me an additional discount plus it is easier for me that way.

MacRoberts sponsors Nicola Benedetti Concert at The Cumnock Tryst
MacRoberts, one of Scotland's leading law firms, is delighted to sponsor one of the headline concerts of the 2016 Cumnock Tryst, a performance by Nicola Benedetti . The Tryst, which takes place from the 29 September – 2 October, celebrates local talent whilst bringing classical music into the heart of the local community.
The concert takes place at the beautiful setting of the Trinity church in Cumnock on 30 September. Nicola Benedetti – who is the patron of The Cumnock Tryst Festival – will appear with her trio partners Leonard Elschenbroich, cello and Alexei Grynyuk, piano.
The Cumnock Tryst, which is 3 years old this year, was founded by composer Sir James MacMillan CBE, and sees the East Ayrshire town of Cumnock become a meeting place for music for a few days each autumn. It brings some of the world's greatest musicians into local venues, churches and halls – with the community at the heart of all its activities.
The festival has an extensive education programme working both with local schools and adult learning centres and with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. The Tryst also has a three-year relationship with Drake Music Scotland who are specialists in working with people with special needs.
It also involves and encourages local people in volunteering with the festival and last year Sir James created a Festival Chorus the members of which are mostly drawn from the local community.
MacRoberts has a long tradition of supporting the arts in Scotland which include strong ties with Scottish Opera, Dundee V&A and the Citizens Theatre.
John MacMillan, MacRoberts Managing Partner said "MacRoberts has a long tradition of supporting the arts in Scotland, and we are absolutely delighted to be involved with this festival which not only celebrates classical music but also celebrates local talent and communities."
Sir James MacMillan said, "We are delighted that a Scottish leading law firm such as MacRoberts has come on board as sponsor of this year's Cumnock Tryst. The Cumnock Tryst is three years old and we are looking forward to bringing another programme of great music to Ayrshire.
For further information, please contact Gill Low, Senior Marketing & PR Manager, MacRoberts LLP.

MacRoberts LLP is one of Scotland's leading commercial law firms with over 150 years of experience in the legal sector. The firm maintains strong links within the Scottish economy, working with large private and public companies, small and medium-sized enterprises, entrepreneurs and owner-managed businesses, banks and financial services institutions, public sector bodies, charities and all levels of government.
MacRoberts has 43 partners and over 180 staff based across three offices in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee.
About the Cumnock Tryst Festival
The Festival's name, The Cumnock Tryst, was inspired by a piece of music James MacMillan wrote in the 1980s when he was still living in Ayrshire. This was a setting of William Soutar's love poem, The Tryst. Tryst is an old Scots word which means a meeting place, or a romantic rendezvous. The town of Cumnock itself ties into this sense of coming together as its Gaelic name, comunn achadh, means place of the confluence, as the town sits where the Glaisnock River and the Lugar Water meet. For four packed days and nights The Cumnock Tryst is a meeting place for music-lovers.

No. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.
A familiar status update is being circulated around Facebook again this week, in which uninformed Facebook users attempt to protect their privacy by posting a few lines of legalese informing the powers that be at Facebook that they are no longer participating in the site's terms of service. The status reads as a variation of the following:
"As of September 28, 2015, I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, or posts, both past and future. By this statement, I give notice to Facebook it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. The content of this profile is private and confidential information. The violation of privacy can be punished by law (UCC 1-308- 1 1 308-103 and the Rome Statute). NOTE: Facebook is now a public entity. All members must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates."
Here's why this notice is a sham. First of all, Facebook has a set of terms of service that all members agree to when they sign up for an account. A users continued use of the website constitutes agreement with the terms of service. Secondly, this notice is the legal equivalent of buying a house and then posting a note on the door informing your mortgage company that you will not be paying the rate agreed upon in the terms of the mortgage. Want to guess how long it would take your mortgage company to kick you to the curb if you did that? Do you think it would be legally binding for you to send your boss an e-mail informing him that you will not be working for the agreed upon amount because the company's profit structure has changed? Might he show you the door shortly thereafter?
Facebook is no different. They provide a service that you agree to use– free of charge, I might add– and your continued use of that service signifies your continued agreement with the terms of the service's use.
So what can you do if you are unhappy with how Facebook uses your status updates and photos? Not much. You can cancel your account, but that doesn't always mean they can't use the information you have already provided them. Your best bet might be to invite a few friends over, hook up the old slide projector, and share your photos and what you've been doing over the last few weeks at a dinner party. That way you can control the privacy of the evening until your guests go home and start sharing gossip with mutual friends who weren't invited to the party. Otherwise, you're just going to have to get used to the world we live in.
It appears George Orwell's vision of the government as Big Brother wasn't entirely accurate. Turns out Big Brother is actually Big Business, only instead of being subject to his invasions of privacy through political might, we have willingly signed over some of our rights to privacy in order to take advantage of the technology he provides. In exchange, our technological overlord has the right to try to turn a profit in order to keep a free service running.
Now, can we go back to posting cat pictures instead of legal disclaimers?
Update: Another version of this hoax claims Facebook is going to start charging $5.99 per month. This also isn't true.

Enthusiasm and excitement around the film 'Aiyaary' have been welling up for the past few months and now the makers of the film have released the first look of the upcoming Bollywood crime drama created and directed by Neeraj Pandey. The first poster of the film was shared on social media by Siddharth Malhotra captioning "#Aiyaary poster is out now!
This one is for all those who serve our nation selflessly. #Aiyaary in cinemas this #RepublicDay #VijayDiwas @neerajpofficial @BajpayeeManoj @Rakulpreet" on December 16, 2017. Aiyaary is based on a true story about the unsung heroes of the Indian Army and is starred by Manoj Bajpayee and the 32-year-old actor.
The poster is painted in the vibrant colours of the national flag and depicts Naseeruddin Shah, Anupam Kher, Rakul Preet Singh besides Siddharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee. The poster also has images from London, Kashmir and Delhi in the background.
Manoj Bajpayee will portray the character of an Army officer with Siddharth being his protege. Rakul Preet is slated to render the character of Major Jai Bakshi's (Siddharth Malhotra) love interest in the film. The makers earlier released pictures of the film during their Delhi and Kashmir schedule with Siddharth sharing some of the pictures from their shoot.
Aiyaary will release on Republic Day and is set on a collision course with Akshay Kumar starring film Padman directed by R Balki and is produced by wife Twinkle Khanna. Aiyaary and Padman will race against each other to get a better collection at the box office. However, both the films are based on completely different issues.
While Aiyaary focusses on uncelebrated heroes of the army, Padman deals with a social stigma surrounding the use of sanitary napkins and is inspired from the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham. The only similarity which both the film holds are the real stories on which they are based.

The zeal among World of Warcraft professional gamers to attain the greatest level in that many popular substantial online multi-role enjoying game in the quickest manner probable has encouraged many of the experienced players of WoW to develop progressing instructions that would cater to the enthusiasm. One of these is Zygor Guides. Zygor Instructions pioneered the innovation identified nowadays being an "in-game leveling ".This is an add-on leveling manual that is mounted within the overall game itself. Ahead of the introduction of this ground-breaking process, the majority of the progressing books are in the proper execution of e-books. The key issue with this specific format is the distraction it developed while enjoying the game. Players need certainly to go in and out of the game to consult the guide on what will be their next move. But with the introduction of the "in-game information" the said diversion is removed since the information has already been fitted within the overall game itself.
The way Zygor Guides ostensibly performs is it gives you the comfort of observing or consulting the manual while enjoying World of Warcraft simultaneously. It features an on-screen arrow which directs one to the path you need to get and a computerized journey step recognition that tells a new player each time a quest had been accomplished and track his advances within the guide text itself. The product also gets the an unique feature called In-Game Skill Advisor that discovers each time a participant degrees up and gives him with the techniques on how best to invest his new skill points to be able to maximize the features of the school he plays while leveling. This function removed the necessity to open the ability section and changed it instead with the easy step of clicking the integral learn button which immediately and properly areas the points wherever they should go. The experience of using this progressing manual has been likened to playing with the assistance of an expert and experienced WoW participant who powers up your game. With your new revolutionary features, Zygor Information allows players to play World of Warcraft way less complicated and more enjoyable. Their newest variation, offers a player an enhanced graphic graphical user interface and new animations.
Players by using this information are steered towards quests that'll give their characters the absolute most knowledge and at once maintaining them from enjoying these worthless quests that needlessly makes them waste enjoying time. That progressing information promises to get you to level 80 in only 7 days.
Zygor Courses is recognized as as the best offering Earth of Warcraft progressing manuals on the market nowadays. This is developed and produced by John "Zygor" Prepare, a specialist World of Warcraft player who has earned coveted reputations on maxing out many people at rates which are just remarkable in the standards of the game. He is a veteran person, who has been playing WoW when it absolutely was however on its beta version.
That great increase was almost damaged by Blizzard's increase plan change. Blizzard decreed they didn't need people to possess to fund their World of Warcraft add ons. As you get the add on whenever you purchase the person Zygor, and many others who ripped his in game progressing add on, had to discover a way to circumvent this. Zygor did bypass the machine and you are safe using his offered increase in your leveling journey.
I can imagine many people may be Zygor Guides there are any restrictions to the guide such as perhaps the guide enables pre leveled people to jump in at any moment. Effectively, don't concern yourself with this as it's no issue at all. You are in a position to only choose the quest you wish to continue the manual from and you're on the way again.
Yet another concern you may have is that you are worried about to be able to follow it together with your type, exclusively class quests. Yet again this really is number matter at all. The only real difference your type can make is that you may need to take a sidestep to do specific important type quests. Lastly, with facets that modify your progressing pace such as for example rested knowledge, heirlooms and Recruit-A-Friend some might be wondering how that conforms with the guide. It's quite amazing how he was able to implement that nevertheless the increase will keep an eye on your XP rate and will alter to this insurance firms you miss quests.
Do not matter your self with installing that manual either. I was pleasantly surprised when I found an installment magician coming with the information that even removes the necessity of choosing your World of Warcraft game journey, since it immediately sees it.You will not be performing such a thing apart from pressing "next" a couple of times. If you're looking for a progressing manual for Horde, Alliance or equally you can not fail with Zygor's Guide. It's fully guaranteed to increase your leveling. I've performed my reveal of leveling in Earth of Warcraft and never thought helpful information might really be price the investment.
When Blizzard, the organization that developed Earth of Warcrat, implemented a fresh policy that ostensibly built offering add-ons illegal, Zygor Guide developed their exceptional and perfectly legal method that operates within the restrictions set by the company and assures that a gamer's account would not be barred for contravening the rule.
Novices and newcomers could have not a problem when applying this guide it has an Computerized Installment Magician that'll go you through the installment process and may even begin the overall game for you personally right away following installment so you can begin utilizing the guide. Zygor Information is definitely an impressive item that changed the way in which WoW has been played. So if you will want hassle free leveling information which will set you to the highest quantities of the game, it would be price to test this product.

Allison Susser
One of my first conversations with my host family was about breakfast. "What do you usually eat?" I asked my host parents; "I want to do everything the Danish way." My host mom, who is actually originally from Kansas, poured some oatmeal (uncooked) in a bowl, added a little milk, some brown sugar, and that was that.
I arrived in Denmark on August 19th and it is hard to believe it has been over three months since I first got here. Before coming I could not settle on a living option, and it seemed like my mind changed every day. Should I live in a dorm with other Americans? Or maybe in a Folkehøjskole (before I even really know what it is)? Should I live in an international kollegium or maybe a Danish one? What about living with a Danish roommate or a host family? After going through the many different options the Danish Institute for Study Abroad (DIS) had to offer, I decided on a homestay and, looking back now, I am glad I did. This was definitely one of the best decisions I made here, since the Andersen family has really made a difference in my experience abroad.
I have also had the opportunity to do so much traveling while here, and that is also all thanks to DIS. In the past month I have traveled to Russia, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, and Sweden. I can hardly believe it. I knew I would be able to travel a bit around Europe, but never did I imagine I would go to so many places in such a short period of time. This was not what I was expecting when deciding to study abroad in Denmark for the semester. During orientation I remember someone saying that DIS is about learning both in and outside of the classroom and really applying what you learn.
DIS includes three separate weeks throughout the semester just for traveling. Before arriving, I looked at the calendar and saw that blocks of time were marked off for travel, but I didn't fully understand what they meant until I got here. During the travel time, we don't have any classes and are free to do whatever we want. Really? DIS realizes that people are going to travel anyway, so they actually built these breaks into the semester. For one of the weeks it is mandatory to go on a study tour with what is called your "core course," but for the other weeks you can do what you want. Some people choose to explore Copenhagen more, some travel on their own, and others go on a DIS-organized trip.
I went to Istanbul for my first travel week with my core class, Children in a Multicultural Context (my favorite class and one of the reasons I chose this program). We did some sightseeing—saw beautiful mosques and toured the Bosphorus—but we also had a lot of educational visits, going into different schools and learning about the education system in Turkey and how it differs from that of Denmark and the United States.
For my second week, I traveled to St. Petersburg and Moscow in Russia, also with a class. I went to some of the most amazing places I will probably ever go. During my time in Russia, I also got to see what a typical communal apartment looks like, was taught the "right" way to drink vodka, had a dinner party with Russian students, and learned from people who are on very opposite ends of the political spectrum. Lastly, I flew to Italy with friends to see the beautiful Cinque Terre and learned exactly what to do and what not to do when traveling alone (leave early, make sure to get on the right train, and stamp your ticket!). Then I was off to Amsterdam, where I learned more in-depth about human trafficking and its role in Amsterdam's famous red-light district, while also getting a bike tour of the city and going to the only cat museum I will probably ever go to.
After just coming back from this last travel break a week ago, I can't believe it is all coming to an end. It still hasn't hit me yet. From reading this, it probably seems like I have been doing so much traveling that I am hardly ever in Denmark, and it honestly sometimes feels that way. But aside from the traveling, I do the same routine things every day. I eat my usual oatmeal in the morning, pack a sandwich for lunch, catch the bus, and then the metro to the city. After walking about ten minutes to the DIS building, I find all of the other American students (1000 in total) who are also running to class.
Some of my classes, in a way, are similar to the ones I have taken at Goucher. For the most part they are pretty small in size, especially considering the number of people who attend the program, and they are made to be discussion-based. Once classes are over, I might head to StudenterHuset for a chai latte and hang out with friends and then head home to play with my host siblings before dinner at six with the rest of my host family.
All of the traveling has been wonderful – getting to see so many different countries, discovering new places and learning so much has been an amazing opportunity – but I also love the seemingly mundane, routine parts of my every day here. I really feel like I am living here as a student, and not as someone who is just visiting.
It is slowly beginning to sink in that my time left in Denmark is waning. While there are definitely things I miss about Goucher and home in general, I am learning so much here and I almost can't imagine going home yet. I know there is still so much to do, see, and experience –who knows the next time I will be here again? I will not be a part of this family, take these classes, meet these people, and may not get to travel to these amazing places ever again. I will miss, more than anything, being a part of the Andersen family and being a part of this country, because I really feel like I have found my place here, and I am extremely thankful for that.

Mole Removal - Reston, VA - Dr. Knotts was absolutely excellent! I think it's always a little awkward to go in for a non-necessary procedure. You feel a little vain, a little silly, and you always worry it's going to hurt. Dr. Knotts put me at ease immediately, though. He was friendly and very clear with my questions. I can't comment on the aftercare quite yet, but I'm confident it will be consistent with the rest of my experience at Austin-Weston: excellent. More
41yo, Breastfed 4 Kids, Now Flat Chested, Breast Augmentation 450cc, Virginia - Reston, VA - Finally made the decision to get my boobs done after breastfeeding 4 kids. A friend recommended Austin-Weston Center for cosmetic surgery. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I went a few times for my try-ons and pre-op. Didn't really shop around too much, I was content with them and decided to book my surgery. I am 1 day post op, far so good I guess. Simply working on pain control for now.... More
350cc, 5'4", 118 lbs submuscular BA - Reston, VA - Dr. Sigal is kind, funny, knowledgeable, talented, and absolutely everything I could want in a doctor. As soon as I met him, I immediately knew he was the one. He walked into the room with a huge smile on his face and instantly made me feel both excited and at ease. During my consultation, he patiently answered all of my questions and gave me an honest and realistic expectation of my procedure. He was never rushed and always gave me the time to speak my mind and express my concerns. I walked out of my consultation not deciding whether to schedule, but WHEN to schedule.I could not have asked for a more excellent doctor all around - in skill, expertise, and personality. It is obvious that Dr. Sigal has truly mastered the ins and outs of plastic surgery, and it very much shows in both my results and his bedside manner. Overall, I am so thrilled with my experience at Austin-Weston, and I would 100% recommend them to anyone. More
Job Well Done - Reston, VA - Dr. Poindexter performed a face lift and nose operation for me at the Austin-Weston clinic in Reston, Virginia. The operation came on December 18th, 2014 after a consultation on October 30. I recently completed my follow up visits.Throughout each consultation Dr. Poindexter was very professional and I felt at ease with him. Most importantly, there were no surprises. Dr. Poindexter was... More
I have always been flat-as-a-board (Nearly A in bras). Because I had so little breast tissue, I was worried that not much could be done. I didn't want to get a procedure and have them look fake. I found Dr. Weston at the Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery, and selected them since they had a number of breast augmentation photos where the "before" photos looked like me. My breasts look great; they are natural-looking, full, and are a great balance to my shape. The areolar incision meant I have no scars. My recovery was much easier than I anticipated. I had a great experience with Dr. Weston, and strongly believe one of the reasons my experience was so positive is that he is an excellent doctor. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a breast augmentation. Dr. Weston always gave me his full-attention. He was never distracted, never seem rushed; that focus did a great deal to ease my anxiety. This was a seamless experience. More
Flat-chested, Looking for Natural Breasts - Reston, VA - Dr. Weston, and his team at the Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery were outstanding. It was a seamless experience, and I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a breast augmentation. Not only are they in close proximity to DC, but also close to Dulles (IAD) for people out-of-town. Dr. Weston always gave me his full-attention. He was never distracted, never seem rushed; that focus did a great deal to ease my anxiety. One of the things I appreciated most on operation day was the manner in which they set-up the room. When I walked in for the procedure, no tools were out, no "scary" things visible. I walked into the room with two nurses, they gave me anesthesia, and I woke up when the procedure was done in the same clean room. No mess, no tools, like it didn't happen. This reduced my anxiety immensely before and after the surgery. The day after surgery (for my post-op appointment), Dr. Weston recognized that I had been lightly scratching (I had some faint red marks on my chest). I had brushed it off, saying that it must be the bleach or detergent from the sheets the night before (I stayed in a hotel the day of surgery to be close to the office). He insisted I describe everything, and examined my body, suspecting that is was an undiagnosed, unreported allergy. He switched my pain medication, and I had no more issues during my recovery. I've been to a lot of doctors and specialists, and never had a doctor so focused on my health care, and so attentive to seemingly minor things. Dr. Weston was one of the best doctor's experiences I've had. More
Dr. Weston is the Best!! - Reston, VA - Three years ago, around end of December, I started to look for a surgeon to perform my rhinoplasty for the third time. Yes, I had two unsuccessful surgeries when I was younger and my nose was in a very bad shape. My friend recommended Dr. Weston at the Austin-Weston Center. After looking at their before and after pictures on the website, I figured it couldn't hurt to make an appointment for a consultations since it was free. He was not the first surgeon I visited regarding my nose. I took my husband with me and WOW! We were blown away. Not only did we not wait for more than 5 minutes, but also Laura was the absolute greatest. She put me at ease and broke everything down before I met Dr. Weston. When we went into the room with Dr. Weston, he listened to my concerns, then explained to me what he thought would look good. He was very patient and honest with me.... I had brought about 70 questions to ask so I could get learn the most about him and the surgery and he answered them not in a cocky way, but just with knowledge... he didn't avoid one. I never thought I would feel so comfortable with the thought of another doctor doing surgery on my face AGAIN! Dr. Weston is super talented at what he does, so the result turned out to be perfect! I've gotten so many compliments on my nose and face! So, I finally got my confidence back and truly feel great about myself! Dr. Weston is truly gifted and I highly recommend him. I am so thankful that I trusted Dr. Weston to help me enhance what I had. Dr. Weston knew he had a challenge on his hands with my surgery and went above and beyond to make my result the best. More
Amazing Results, I Highly Recommend Dr. Weston! - Reston, VA - I did a lot of research and read reviews. I attended a seminar at the center that Dr. Weston gave and decided he was the best surgeon for me. I decided to get a facelift and have my eyelids done because I looked so tired and angry and people were always asking if I was upset. I did months of research to find the best doctor possible. Austin-Weston Center was the clear choice and I attended a seminar given by Dr. Weston. I was very impressed with the information provided and there was no pressure from the staff. I came back for a consultation and scheduled my surgery. The staff was so friendly and Dr. Weston is truly an artist. I had a great experience, Dr. Weston and all the staff changed my life! More
I chose the A-W Center after consulting with 2 othersI went to the Austin-Weston Center to get one final consult before deciding who should perform my elective breast reduction and liposuction "mommy makeover." Dr. Weston felt like an old friend. Not only is Dr. Weston a gifted surgeon with 20+ years of exp, he's a great people person with excellent comm skills, and an appreciation for what cosmetic surgery means for patients when done well. I've received compliments from people who can't put their finger on what I had "done." 3 mod post-op, I've lost 2 sizes/22 pounds. It was a real turnaround for me. At the Austin-Weston center, the "why" is part of what the surgeons want to know. For me surgery made my outsides match my insides – I'm an accomplished woman for whom weight and stress had taken a toll. My surgery was the best possible experience. I'm a 100% satisfied patient who recommends Dr. Weston without reservation. Count me among the Austin-Weston Center's happiest clients. More
Outstanding Care and Results - Reston, VA - I continue to be impressed with Austin-Weston and Dr Weston himself. I highly recommend De Weston to anyone who is concerned with their appearance. In fact, my wife and sister will use Dr Weston in the near future. More
There are not enough words to express my gratitude towards Dr. Sigal. My whole experience right from my very first consultation was amazing. Dr. Sigal and his entire staff were very friendly and made me feel extremely comfortable. I was so impressed. I looked forward to all my appointments and never felt like I was at a doctor's appointment, it was more like I was seeing friends. Dr. Sigal has a bed side manner that is beyond wonderful!!! Back in March 2011 he performed a abdominoplasty, liposuction of my thighs and also did a breast lift on me. I went into surgery feeling very confident and prepared. Dr. Sigal and the staff left no stone unturned when it came to going over every detail of pre-op instructions, what to expect with the surgery itself and the post-op instructions. Even all the extra precautionary measures they took to ensure I had a safe and fast recovery were incredible. Dr. Sigal and his staff go above and beyond what other doctors would do. More

If you wrote your testimony as a product testimonial, you may have been honest enough to include some disappointments with God. What do you do if you have partial or completely negative experiences with God? What good is a testimony like that? You might be surprised how God can use that.
Everyone is disappointed with God in one way or another. Unanswered prayers top the list, or at least prayers that weren't answered the way we wanted. Live events that leave us asking "Why?" are also culprits that shake our faith in God at a deep level. And there are matters of timing (God can seem so slow to us), trust (God disappointed me in the past, how can I trust Him now?), and any number of other issues that come up.
First, let me say if you are disappointed in God, you are a normal, thinking, feeling individual. It's okay. God can handle your doubts and fears. You've taken the first and biggest step by admitting your disappointment in God.
Whatever negative reviews you may have written about God, however huge or slight they may seem, take them to God right now. Offer it to Him as a wounded sacrifice. Give it to Him and ask Him to heal your heart so He can reveal Himself to you fully. God doesn't have to explain Himself because He's God. But He wants to heal your heart. Only a healed heart can receive all God has for you.
When we live with disappointment in God, we are living with a grudge. We are, in a sense, putting ourselves above God to judge His motives and actions. This is the sin of pride. When His ways don't live up to what we expect, we hold it against Him and refuse to forgive Him because we don't understand His ways. I know because I used to feel that way.
Take time to reconsider how you would write your testimony as a product testimonial. Be honest about any negative reviews you would give God. Then take those issues to God and surrender them to Him. Ask His forgiveness and healing. Ask Him to remove any shadows of darkness that have crept into your heart because of your issue with Him. Today is a good day to be set free. Give it to God and experience the freedom Christ offers.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed (Psalm 34:18, NLT).

Legal Terminology Workshops
All workshops are based on the Law appertaining to England and Wales.
Introduction to Death, Wills and Inheritance – legal terminology
In this workshop we have a go at drafting a Will to get to grips with the standard legal terminology in most wills and codicils. This is so that we can fully understand the need for certainty and precision – the two most important tools of the lawyer charged with drafing testamentary dispositions which accurately reflect the Testator's final wishes. We also cover Powers of Attorney and attempt to fill in relevant forms.
Introduction to Employment Law (including Health and Safety) – legal terminology
Discrimination due to race, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability
Introduction to Family breakdown – legal terminology
Marriage; divorce; civil partnerships; arrangements as to property and children.

Introduction to Contract Law – legal terminology
- Definition of a contract

Compromis de Vente – terminology in residential French property contracts
Specifically for French Translators and Interpreters who work in this area. In this workshop we examine an actual Compromis de Vente together and explore the legal terminology referred to and at the same time we attempt to ascertain if there are equivalents in English law. By the end of the workshop we aim to have put together a comprehensive glossary for future use.
Legal Personnel and Legal Institutions in England and Wales
This workshop looks at the venues in the English and Welsh legal system that legal personnel work in such as; Courts: – Magistrates; Crown; Family, High Court; Coroner's Court as well as the people who work in them such as Judges, Magistrates, Solicitors, Barristers . We also look at legal personnel and institutions in the attendees' own countries by way of comparison – are there equivalents to be found or not?
General Interest Workshops
Professional Conduct and Ethics for Interpreters and Translators
A consideration of various professional scenarios and dilemmas. How do the Codes of Practice of ITI, CIol, APCI and other organisations representing interpreters and translators as well as those provided by various work providers assist us – do they cover all eventualities? If not, what should we do?
Confidentiality issues and problems for Interpreters and Translators
To whom is the duty of confidentiality owed and for how long?
Which type of communications does it cover?
Are there any exceptions?
What do our professional Codes of Practice say about it?
Riding the recession – How to!
Here we go again – triple dip recession on the way; when did your personal recession start; what effect has it had on your business; what are you doing or will you be doing to keep your business afloat; what are your strategies for survival – do you even have any? What about adding new qualifications/ skills, decreasing rates, increasing advertising, looking outside of the UK for work suppliers? Come and pool all information with your colleagues – together we can ride the recession and come out fighting!
Negotiating Terms and Conditions with work suppliers
How to draft a precedent set of T's and C's to keep to hand when negotiating with work suppliers so that you don't get caught out when you have to think on your feet to nail down the job on offer; be professional have all of the T's and C's to hand that you want to include in the contract with the client whether the latter is a private individual or an Agency.
Drafting Invoices, Estimates and Quotes
Terms to insert in all of these documents so that you build up an impressive set of precedents that you can use over and over again; charging interest; late payers; debt collectors; credit reference agencies.
Talk: Interpreting for French speaking Asylum seekers and refugees – linguistic, cultural and political considerations
I presented this talk to the North West Society of Chartered Institute of Linguists in …I will be presenting it again at the invitation of Scottish CIoL at their AGM in Edinburgh in November 2013
Talk: A week in the life of a French Public Service Interpreter and translator (PSI)
I have presented this talk to language students at Salford , Leeds and Leicester Universities on several occasions. After a blow by blow account of what a PSI does in a typical week (including mundane activities such as account keeping and food shopping at Tesco) a lively Q and A session ensues whereby students are let loose to explore issues they need more information about ie "Do you need a car to be a freelance PSI? or Can you be a successful freelancer if you have young children - is it better to be an interpreter or a translator? "
Talk: Starting out as a freelance Interpreter and/or Translator – how to (and how not to!)

I want only AVG TOOL to remove and clickt only for that, the other findings are uncheckt.
Anyway, after the cleaning my browsers chrome and firefox are not working proberly.
I can't have the extensions I want. The browsers crashes all the time.On chrom every time I log in a pop up window appears
''it can find file data''...
After that nothing help:

What is your opinion! Thanks for your good information!
P.S.On the older ADWCLEANER versions never had a problem.

Episode Title: Confession of Guilt
Original Air Date: 4/30/57
Available on: Old Time Radio Mysteries Podcast: Sept. 7, 2009 Episode
Sound Quality: Above Average
This is an interesting find, a BBC British detective fiction show featuring Dr. Morelle, a clinical psychologist who is, depending on your opinion of him, either wonderfully entertaining or a complete gasbag. Personally, I see him as both, and find his gas-bagginess his most entertaining aspect. He is aiding by his long suffering yet good natured assistant, Miss Frayle.
This particular episode opens up with Miss Paula Webb, a presumably attractive young lady, shooting Mr. Powers, an ex-lover. The next scene we discover that the murder is being played as a suicide, a note to the deceased's wife having been left behind. The only thing mysterious about this is that he shot himself through the heart rather than the head as is common in suicide. Miss Webb then meets with Dr. Morelle and lets him know that she shot Mr. Powers but hadn't left the note, he must have already planned the suicide!
The story moves along from here with a number of exciting twists and turns. I haven't heard a mystery quite like this one before and the freshness of the script combined with the arch-smugness of the lead makes this one definitely worth your time.
