Hollywood could not imagine narratives that these buffoons actually seem to live, and we seem to actually pay for.
All that's left now is for Kevin Andrew and/or his wife to chime in, and Chris Kenny to laud all concerned, and we can just move on to whatever these nimrods have planned next.Replies

So, hard-working Monkeypod Dutton wouldn't happen to know how a disclosure of cabinet-in-confidence disclosures came to be a key ingredient in the Mad Witch's Coven's cauldron of solid sledges, then?ReplyDelete
GREAT news just in - the journalist at the receiving end of Dutton's abject idiocy wasn't offended.ReplyDelete
People who pay his wages are said to be a touch rankled however. Who would have guessed? Can anyone briefly note what his strengths are, and what encouraged anyone to employ him in public service? I get the feeling we may not being seeing the best of him.

Here's what we talked about this week. If you aren't receiving your THIS FIVE MINUTES each Friday, be sure to sign up!
Many people start fitness programs, but they may stop when they get bored, they don't enjoy it or results come too slowly. Here are six ways to help you stay motivated. 1. Set goals. Start with simple goals and then progress to longer range goals. Remember to make your goals realistic and achievable. It's easy to get frustrated and give up if your goals are too ambitious. 2. Make it fun! Find sports or activities that you enjoy, then vary the routine to keep it interesting. If you're not enjoying your workouts, try something different. Discover your hidden athletic talent. 3. Make physical activity part of your daily routine. If it's hard to find time for exercise, don't fall back on excuses. Schedule workouts as you would any other important activity. 4. Put it on paper and write down your goals. Seeing the benefits of regular exercise and writing your goals down on paper may help you stay motivated. 5. Join forces with friends, neighbors or others. You're not in this alone. Invite friends or co-workers to join you when you exercise. 6. Reward yourself. After each exercise session, take a few minutes to savor the good feelings that exercise gives you. This type of internal reward can help you make a long-term commitment to regular exercise.
Be Fit
Be Well
Be Mindful
Be Winning
Be Happy
Wherever you are in your life – and in the world – Coach Janis pinpoints fitness and wellbeing solutions that work for YOU. You are important enough and creative enough to achieve your goals! Keep your mind in the game. Keep your body in the game. Keep your fierce and abiding spirit in the game.

My Feinwerkbau 601 has performed flawlessly since I purchased it new 23 years ago . . . until yesterday. Now when the cocking arm is activated it will no longer pump air.
I've serviced my other air rifles both springers and PCP's but have never taken apart the 601. I'm hoping someone with experience can give me guidance in the repair. I own a machine shop so am familiar with mechanical things. I just don't want to go blindly into dismantling this work of art.
Thanks in advance. I'm in the USA if that makes any difference in obtaining parts, etc.

For Peyton's first birthday, Blair Britt Events created a fun mod nautical themed party in navy, pink and sea foam green, and it was all captured by Alice Hu Photography. The theme came to life with nautical details from fish nets and oars, to rope accents and starfish. The sea inspiration became interactive for the older kids with a nautical knot tying station, and additional fun was had with tug-o-war and a balloon toss. The little guests also enjoyed boxed lunches for them to grab and go, along with a fully stocked dessert table with treats from Sweet & Saucy Shop and to-go bags to take some goodies home. To quench their thirst, kids could grab a drink from a "sailboat" created with a large bucket and cloth sail. So cute!
One sweet detail we love is that guests wrote notes to Peyton to be placed in a time capsule for her to open at her 18th birthday. The time capsule will also include her birthday party invitation, a list of her favorite things and activities at one year, and notes from her parents and her sister. Love this idea! If you'd like to check out more, stop by the full gallery for all the photos.

Evaluating the impact of teleconsultations requires some basis of comparison. Consistent with remarks in the literature, several of our expert interviewees indicated that a recurrent weakness in telemedicine evaluations has been the lack of a clearly defined control group. In general, a comparator should be the standard or level of care that would be provided in the absence of the experimental intervention.
The design of a teleconsultation evaluation should specify, and justify, the comparator. For an evaluation of teleconsultations for patients in a local site that is remote from desired care (e.g., from a physician specialist), possible comparators include:
- no care;
- inadequate or underspecialized in-person care locally;
- in-person care remotely (requiring patient travel);
- delayed in-person care remotely (requiring patient travel); and
- delayed in-person care locally (requiring physician specialist travel).
Identifying an appropriate control group also depends on whether a telemedicine application substitutes for care provided by on-site personnel, or if it is additive to existing care.
In order to establish a realistic basis upon which to determine the true size of the effect of the teleconsultation, the selection of comparator should reflect as nearly as possible the usual care that would be available in the absence of the teleconsultations. For any given population, this may include any or all of the five possibilities listed above. Therefore, the way to achieve the most realistic comparison may be to randomize patients to usual care, which could include any care mode that they would seek in the absence of teleconsultations, and to teleconsultations.
Experimental designs with contemporaneous controls (i.e., current, parallel control groups) are generally stronger than those with historical controls. Using historical controls fails to account for the confounding effects of the passage of time, i.e., the different prevailing conditions that may exist between the time of data collection for the historical control group and the time of data collection for the current intervention group. That is, changes may have occurred in the study population or aspects of health care delivery or administration during this time that would confound the study results concerning the causal effect between the type of care and the outcomes of interest. Historical controls can be sufficient if there is strong reason to assume that prevailing conditions have not changed over time, and that the relationship between usual (or no) care and the outcomes of interest has remained virtually constant. This confounding effect of time also pertains in instances where data are collected for a population prior to an intervention (e.g., the establishment of a teleconsultation program) and following the intervention. (This is sometimes referred to as "pre-test post-test" design.) Another methodological weakness of historical controls is the opportunity for selection bias to occur, i.e., in the selection of the basis for the historical control. Comparative studies of telemedicine have too often relied on historical controls.
The reliance on historical controls is due to a variety of reasons, including the practical difficulties of assignment of patients (randomly or not) to intervention groups and control groups. In some instances, once the telemedicine intervention was in place, it was impractical to keep patients from using it, thereby losing the basis of a contemporary control group. In other instances, the number of participating patients has been so small (e.g., in low-density rural areas) that dividing them into intervention and control groups would yield too little data upon which to base any statistically meaningful findings. In these instances where sample sizes are small, it may be desirable to conduct multicenter studies. Of course, this typically requires greater funding. Another approach is to use meta-analysis or similar statistical techniques to combine the results of multiple small studies (each of which may not have sufficient sample sizes to yield statistically significant findings) to yield a larger study that can achieve statistically significant findings. However, doing so requires making assumptions about the comparability of the populations and interventions used in the smaller individual studies. As noted above, a recent comprehensive attempt to conduct such a meta-analysis of research reports on telemedicine costs was unable to identify a sufficient number of studies to meet minimal criteria for combining the study findings (Whitten et al. 2000).
Another approach used in teleconsultation evaluations is to use matched populations served by different, yet similar health delivery sites. In these instances, one community retains usual care while the other gets the teleconsultation intervention. The validity of this type of design rests on assumptions about the similarity of the two populations, their respective health delivery sites, and other circumstances that might affect study results.
Among our site visits and expert interviews, the single most often cited aspect of disparity between telemedicine interventions and usual care was third-party reimbursement. Several experts asserted that reimbursement drives utilization of telemedicine, and this theme was confirmed during our site visits. As several experts noted, the basis for comparison is may be undermined when reimbursement is available for usual care but not for teleconsultations. Reimbursement differences might not affect certain telemedicine evaluations, e.g., of the technical performance of a system, ease of use, or operating costs. However, reimbursement differences may confound findings about clinician or hospital acceptance, access, utilization, health outcomes (if dependent on utilization), and other evaluation measures. Thus, for a valid evaluation of a teleconsultation program to be conducted, it may be necessary for the program to be conducted in the same payment environment as usual health care. Even to the extent that a teleconsultation program is shown to be effective and cost-effective, inadequate reimbursement could stand as a barrier to its use.
Reimbursement anomalies can have other unintended effects on telemedicine services. For example, the availability of reimbursement for telemedicine using video technology may prompt the medically unnecessary substitution of video-based encounters for simple telephone calls, which are not reimbursed.
The potential for differences in reimbursement status to confound comparative studies should be considered for demonstration projects where the results of such demonstrations are used to inform decisions about deploying or modifying telemedicine programs or establishing policies about telemedicine delivery or payment. In areas where reimbursement is not available for teleconsultations, a demonstration project should consider including funding for payment for teleconsultations that is comparable to payment for corresponding health care services. This funding could come from regular payers (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, managed care organizations) on a special basis for the purposes of the demonstration, or it could be part of the demonstration budget itself. In either case, the process for providers to secure such reimbursement should not entail any different level or process of administrative than is entailed in reimbursement for usual care.

What is an express credit?
An urgent payday loan is a form of loan in which the settlement is easy to get by and therefore a quick payment of the loan amount to the applicant takes place. Because such a loan is available to the borrower within 24 hours or even just 60 minutes, it is also called an instant loan or a quick payday loan.

Easy and fast payday loan application thanks to express credit
If you need a short term loan to borrow money quickly, an urgent payday loan is the ideal solution. Without lengthy processes you fill out a loan application online and have your desired amount within a very short time. This allows you to settle invoices or fill the void on your bank account at the end of the month. Without having to commit yourself in the long term, you will pay back your loan for the next 30 days.
Credit in less than 24h: immediate payment & instant confirmation
The biggest problem with applying for a loan is the long wait until you finally get the money you need. Especially if you need money fast, delays during the application prove annoying. The credit check often takes a lot of time.
With Bank, however, you will receive the immediate promise for your urgent payday loan within a few minutes. Our credit check takes place in real time and enables the special conditions an immediate payment for the express loan. You also get the option for immediate transfer despite Bank entry or a middle Bank score.
Simply apply for credit online

Then fill out various forms with your personal data (name, address, place of residence) and sensitive data (income, financial position). Once this is done, the identification follows via VideoIdent. At the end you have to upload the required documents and the processing will take place with the transfer of your urgent payday loan. All in all, the entire instant loan application process only takes a few minutes to allow the loan to be disbursed within 24 hours.
What do I need for an urgent payday loan?
The conditions for an urgent payday loan differ in most cases not from normal loans. Even if you want to borrow money fast, you need some financial security. The most important constant here is a regular income. With Bank you can apply for an urgent payday loan from a monthly income of 500 euros. In addition, Bank gives you the option of being granted an express credit even if you have a medium credit rating.
- majority
- Residence in Germany
- Bank account with a German bank
- Average credit rating (Bank score to M)
- Regular income of at least 500 euros

Running too many loans in parallel, you lose track quickly. Especially due to the long maturities, borrowers often no longer know how their financial situation is. However, with Bank, you do not have to tie yourself up for long. As a rule, the term for express loans is 30 days. So you are quickly financially independent again and thereby improve your credit rating.
2-rate option for urgent payday loans in installments
The maturity can also be designed flexibly with Bank: With the 2-rate option you extend the repayment from 30 to 60 days. Thus, the emergency loan also called Blitzkredit fits perfectly to your needs.

Paraguay's state-owned Petropar targets more stations around the country
The newly appointed President of Petropar wants to open Petropar gas stations all around the country. Heavy competition awaits.
Petróleos Paraguayos, Paraguay's state-owned oil company, also known as Petropar, targets a continued but orderly expansion of its service stations across the country, according to the retailer's new President Patricia Samudio.
Since it entered the fuel retailing segment, Petropar has steadily been expanding its network of gas stations. It now has around 150 sites in the country, accounting for 12% of the market. The majority of their sites are located in the Central Department, the most populous and developed together with the capital city.
"We are going to continue growing but in an orderly manner. Petropar's numbers grew significantly. We have 80% of our network located in the Central Department so we have to grow in those areas of the country where we are still not present," said Samudio in an interview with Paraguay's national radio.
President of Paraguay, Mario Abdo Benítez, appointed Patricia Samudio as the new head of Petropar only a month ago. She expects to open 15 to 20 new sites before the end of the year.
A new head of the pack
Petropar faces a stark challenge if it hopes to challenge for a leadership position in Paraguay's fuelling market. Earlier this summer Copetrol SA, a family-owned fuelling company from Paraguay, acquired the assets of Petrobras for USD 383.5 million.
Part of Petrobras' plans to divest in Latin America to focus its resources in Brazil, where it has suffered huge losses due to ongoing corruption cases, it sold its 197 service stations in Paraguay to Copetrol. Through the divestment plan, which also included the sale of 100% of its assets in Chile to Southern Cross Group for USD 490 million and 67% of its shares in Agentina's Pampa Energy Group for USD 892 million, Petrobras hopes to recover USD 21 billion, according to La Nación.
The acquisition has cemented Copetrol's place as the leading retailer in Paraguay as it now manages a network of around 450 stations.
Other key players in the sector include Barcos & Rodados with a network of 320 sites, Puma Energy with 186 stations, Esso and Axion, among others.
The Paraguayan Government liberated petrol and diesel prices in May and June of 2018.

Download Guide for Authors in PDF
Types of article
The Brazilian Journal of Physical Therapy (BJPT) publishes original research articles, reviews, and brief communications on topics related to physical therapy and rehabilitation, including clinical, basic or applied studies on the assessment, prevention and treatment of movement disorders. Our Editorial Board is committed to disseminate high-quality research in the field of physical therapy. The BJPT follows the principle of publication ethics included in the code of conduct of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).The BJPT accepts the submission of manuscripts with up to 3,500 words (excluding title page, abstract, references, tables, figures and legends). Information contained in appendices will be included in the total number of words allowed. A total of five (5) combined tables and figures is allowed.
The following types of study can be considered for publication, if directly related to the journal's scope:
a) Intervention studies (clinical trials): studies that investigate the effect(s) of one or more interventions on outcomes directly related to the BJPT's scope. The World Health Organization defines a clinical trial as "any research study that prospectively allocates human participants or groups of humans to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effect(s) on health outcome(s)". Clinical trials include single-case experimental studies, case series, non-randomized controlled trials, and randomized controlled trials. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) must follow the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) recommendations, which are available at: http://www.consort-statement.org/consort-statement/overview0/. The CONSORT checklist and Statement Flow Diagram, available at http://www.consort-statement.org/consort-statement/flow-diagram, must be completed and submitted with the manuscript. Clinical trials must provide registration that satisfies the requirements of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), e.g. http://clinicaltrials.gov/ and/or http://www.anzctr.org.au. The complete list of all clinical trial registries can be found at: http://www.who.int/ictrp/network/primary/en/index.html. We suggest that all authors register clinical trials prospectively via the website http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
Note: We do not accept single case studies and series of cases (i.e. clinical trials without a comparison group).
c) Qualitative studies: studies that focus on understanding needs, motivations, and human behavior. The object of a qualitative study is guided by in-depth analysis of a topic, including opinions, attitudes, motivations, and behavioral patterns without quantification. Qualitative studies include documentary and ethnographic analysis.
d) Systematic reviews: studies that analyze and/or synthesize the literature on a topic related to the scope of the BJPT. Systematic reviews that include meta-analysis will have priority over other systematic reviews. Those that have an insufficient number of articles or articles with low quality in the Methods section and do not include an assertive and valid conclusion about the topic will not be considered for peer-review analysis.
The authors must follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist to format their systematic reviews. The checklist is available at http://www.prisma-statement.org/PRISMAStatement/Default.aspx and must be filled in and submitted with the manuscript.
Potential authors are encouraged to read the following tutorial, which contains the minimum requirements for publication of systematic reviews in the BJPT: Mancini MC, Cardoso JR, Sampaio RF, Costa LCM, Cabral CMN, Costa LOP. Tutorial for writing systematic reviews for the Brazilian Journal of Physical Therapy (BJPT). Braz J Phys Ther. 2014 Nov-Dec; 18(6):471-480.
f) Methodological studies: studies centered on the development and/or evaluation of clinimetric properties and characteristics of assessment instruments. The authors are encouraged to use the Guidelines for Reporting Reliability and Agreement Studies (GRRAS) to format methodological papers, in addition to following BJPT instructions. Important: Studies that report electromyographic results must follow the Standards for Reporting EMG Data recommended by ISEK (International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology), available at http://www.isek.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Standards-for-Reporting-EMG-Data.pdf.g) Clinical trial protocols: The BJPT welcomes the publication of clinical trial protocols. We only accept trial protocols that are substantially funded, have ethics approval, have been prospectively registered and of very high quality. We expect that clinical trial protocols must be novel and with a large sample size. Finally, authors have to provide that the clinical trial is on its first stages of recruitment. Authors should use the SPIRIT statement while formatting the manuscript (http://www.spirit-statement.org). Funding solely based upon scholarships or fellowships are not considered as substantially funded.
h) Short communications: the BJPT will publish one short communication per issue (up to six a year) in a format similar to that of the original articles, containing 1200 words and up to two figures, one table, and ten references.i) Masterclass articles: This type of article presents the state of art of any topic that is important to the field of physical therapy. All masterclass articles are invited manuscripts and the authors must be recognized experts in the field. However, authors can send e-mails to the editor in chief with an expression of interest to submit a masterclass article to the BJPT. Submission checklist

Ethics in publishing
Please see our information pages on Ethics in publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal publication.
Studies in humans and animals
If the work involves the use of human subjects, the author should ensure that the work described has been carried out in accordance with The Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association (Declaration of Helsinki) for experiments involving humans. The manuscript should be in line with the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals and aim for the inclusion of representative human populations (sex, age and ethnicity) as per those recommendations. The terms sex and gender should be used correctly.
Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.All animal experiments should comply with the ARRIVE guidelines and should be carried out in accordance with the U.K. Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act, 1986 and associated guidelines, EU Directive 2010/63/EU for animal experiments, or the National Institutes of Health guide for the care and use of Laboratory animals (NIH Publications No. 8023, revised 1978) and the authors should clearly indicate in the manuscript that such guidelines have been followed. The sex of animals must be indicated, and where appropriate, the influence (or association) of sex on the results of the study.
Declaration of interest
All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential competing interests include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors must disclose any interests in two places: 1. A summary declaration of interest statement in the title page file (if double-blind) or the manuscript file (if single-blind). If there are no interests to declare then please state this: 'Declarations of interest: none'. This summary statement will be ultimately published if the article is accepted. 2. Detailed disclosures as part of a separate Declaration of Interest form, which forms part of the journal's official records. It is important for potential interests to be declared in both places and that the information matches. More information.
Submission declaration and verification
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright-holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service Crossref Similarity Check.
Use of inclusive language
Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Articles should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader, should contain nothing which might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of race, sex, culture or any other characteristic, and should use inclusive language throughout. Authors should ensure that writing is free from bias, for instance by using 'he or she', 'his/her' instead of 'he' or 'his', and by making use of job titles that are free of stereotyping (e.g. 'chairperson' instead of 'chairman' and 'flight attendant' instead of 'stewardess').
All authors should have made substantial contributions to all of the following: (1) the conception and design of the study, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data, (2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content, (3) final approval of the version to be submitted.
Changes to authorship
Authors are expected to consider carefully the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the definitive list of authors at the time of the original submission. Any addition, deletion or rearrangement of author names in the authorship list should be made only before the manuscript has been accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. To request such a change, the Editor must receive the following from the corresponding author: (a) the reason for the change in author list and (b) written confirmation (e-mail, letter) from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.
Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted. While the Editor considers the request, publication of the manuscript will be suspended. If the manuscript has already been published in an online issue, any requests approved by the Editor will result in a corrigendum.
Clinical trial results
In line with the position of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, the journal will not consider results posted in the same clinical trials registry in which primary registration resides to be prior publication if the results posted are presented in the form of a brief structured (less than 500 words) abstract or table. However, divulging results in other circumstances (e.g., investors' meetings) is discouraged and may jeopardise consideration of the manuscript. Authors should fully disclose all posting in registries of results of the same or closely related work.
Reporting clinical trials
Randomized controlled trials should be presented according to the CONSORT guidelines. At manuscript submission, authors must provide the CONSORT checklist accompanied by a flow diagram that illustrates the progress of patients through the trial, including recruitment, enrollment, randomization, withdrawal and completion, and a detailed description of the randomization procedure. The CONSORT checklist and template flow diagram are available online.
Registration of clinical trials
Registration in a public trials registry is a condition for publication of clinical trials in this journal in accordance with International Committee of Medical Journal Editors recommendations. Trials must register at or before the onset of patient enrolment. The clinical trial registration number should be included at the end of the abstract of the article. A clinical trial is defined as any research study that prospectively assigns human participants or groups of humans to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects of health outcomes. Health-related interventions include any intervention used to modify a biomedical or health-related outcome (for example drugs, surgical procedures, devices, behavioural treatments, dietary interventions, and process-of-care changes). Health outcomes include any biomedical or health-related measures obtained in patients or participants, including pharmacokinetic measures and adverse events. Purely observational studies (those in which the assignment of the medical intervention is not at the discretion of the investigator) will not require registration.
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to complete a 'Journal Publishing Agreement' (see more information on this) to assign to theAssociação Brasileira de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Fisioterapia (ABRAPG-FT) the copyright in the manuscript and any tables, illustrations or other material submitted for publication as part of the manuscript (the "Article") in all forms and media (whether now known or later developed), throughout the world, in all languages, for the full term of copyright, effective when the Article is accepted for publication. An e-mail will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript together with a 'Journal Publishing Agreement' form or a link to the online version of this agreement.

Authors who feel their English language manuscript may require editing to eliminate possible grammatical or spelling errors and to conform to correct scientific English may wish to use the English Language Editing service available from Elsevier's Author Services.
Informed consent and patient details
Studies on patients or volunteers require ethics committee approval and informed consent, which should be documented in the paper. Appropriate consents, permissions and releases must be obtained where an author wishes to include case details or other personal information or images of patients and any other individuals in an Elsevier publication. Written consents must be retained by the author but copies should not be provided to the journal. Only if specifically requested by the journal in exceptional circumstances (for example if a legal issue arises) the author must provide copies of the consents or evidence that such consents have been obtained. For more information, please review the Elsevier Policy on the Use of Images or Personal Information of Patients or other Individuals. Unless you have written permission from the patient (or, where applicable, the next of kin), the personal details of any patient included in any part of the article and in any supplementary materials (including all illustrations and videos) must be removed before submission.
Our online submission system guides you stepwise through the process of entering your article details and uploading your files. The system converts your article files to a single PDF file used in the peer-review process. Editable files (e.g., Word, LaTeX) are required to typeset your article for final publication. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, is sent by e-mail.
Submit your article
Please submit your article via https://www.evise.com/profile/api/navigate/BJPT.
Double-blind review
This journal uses double-blind review, which means the identities of the authors are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa. More information is available on our website. To facilitate this, please include the following separately:
Title page (with author details): This should include the title, authors' names, affiliations, acknowledgements and any Declaration of Interest statement, and a complete address for the corresponding author including an e-mail address.
Blinded manuscript (no author details): The main body of the paper (including the references, figures, tables and any acknowledgements) should not include any identifying information, such as the authors' names or affiliations.
Use of word processing software
It is important that the file be saved in the native format of the word processor used. The text should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced on processing the article. In particular, do not use the word processor's options to justify text or to hyphenate words. However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts etc. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for each individual table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is used, use tabs, not spaces, to align columns. The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts (see also the Guide to Publishing with Elsevier). Note that source files of figures, tables and text graphics will be required whether or not you embed your figures in the text. See also the section on Electronic artwork.
To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the 'spell-check' and 'grammar-check' functions of your word processor.
Article structure
Subdivision - unnumbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined sections. Each subsection is given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line. Subsections should be used as much as possible when cross-referencing text: refer to the subsection by heading as opposed to simply 'the text'.
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Material and methods
Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced.
Results should be clear and concise.
This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1) and so on. Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
Essential title page information
• Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
• Author names and affiliations. Please clearly indicate the given name(s) and family name(s) of each author and check that all names are accurately spelled. You can add your name between parentheses in your own script behind the English transliteration. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
• Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. This responsibility includes answering any future queries about Methodology and Materials. Ensure that the e-mail address is given and that contact details are kept up to date by the corresponding author.
• Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Highlights are mandatory for this journal as they help increase the discoverability of your article via search engines. They consist of a short collection of bullet points that capture the novel results of your research as well as new methods that were used during the study (if any). Please have a look at the examples here: example Highlights.
A concise and factual structured abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).
Formatting of funding sources
List funding sources in this standard way to facilitate compliance to funder's requirements:
Funding: This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Seattle, WA [grant number zzzz]; and the United States Institutes of Peace [grant number aaaa].It is not necessary to include detailed descriptions on the program or type of grants and awards. When funding is from a block grant or other resources available to a university, college, or other research institution, submit the name of the institute or organization that provided the funding.
If no funding has been provided for the research, please include the following sentence:This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI). If other units are mentioned, please give their equivalent in SI.
Math formulae
Please submit math equations as editable text and not as images. Present simple formulae in line with normal text where possible and use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables are to be presented in italics. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Number consecutively any equations that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text).
Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article. Many word processors can build footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Otherwise, please indicate the position of footnotes in the text and list the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the Reference list.
Image manipulation
Whilst it is accepted that authors sometimes need to manipulate images for clarity, manipulation for purposes of deception or fraud will be seen as scientific ethical abuse and will be dealt with accordingly. For graphical images, this journal is applying the following policy: no specific feature within an image may be enhanced, obscured, moved, removed, or introduced. Adjustments of brightness, contrast, or color balance are acceptable if and as long as they do not obscure or eliminate any information present in the original. Nonlinear adjustments (e.g. changes to gamma settings) must be disclosed in the figure legend.
Electronic artwork
General points
• Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.
• Embed the used fonts if the application provides that option.
• Aim to use the following fonts in your illustrations: Arial, Courier, Times New Roman, Symbol, or use fonts that look similar.
• Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.
• Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files.
• Provide captions to illustrations separately.
• Size the illustrations close to the desired dimensions of the published version.
• Submit each illustration as a separate file.
• Ensure that color images are accessible to all, including those with impaired color vision.
A detailed guide on electronic artwork is available.
You are urged to visit this site; some excerpts from the detailed information are given here.
If your electronic artwork is created in a Microsoft Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) then please supply 'as is' in the native document format.
Regardless of the application used other than Microsoft Office, when your electronic artwork is finalized, please 'Save as' or convert the images to one of the following formats (note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below):
EPS (or PDF): Vector drawings, embed all used fonts.
TIFF (or JPEG): Color or grayscale photographs (halftones), keep to a minimum of 300 dpi.
TIFF (or JPEG): Bitmapped (pure black & white pixels) line drawings, keep to a minimum of 1000 dpi.
TIFF (or JPEG): Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (color or grayscale), keep to a minimum of 500 dpi.
Please do not:
• Supply files that are optimized for screen use (e.g., GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); these typically have a low number of pixels and limited set of colors;
• Supply files that are too low in resolution;
• Submit graphics that are disproportionately large for the content.
Color artwork
Please make sure that artwork files are in an acceptable format (TIFF (or JPEG), EPS (or PDF) or MS Office files) and with the correct resolution. If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable color figures then the journal will ensure, at no additional charge, that these figures will appear in color online (e.g., ScienceDirect and other sites). Further information on the preparation of electronic artwork.
Illustration services
Elsevier's Author Services offers Illustration Services to authors preparing to submit a manuscript but concerned about the quality of the images accompanying their article. Elsevier's expert illustrators can produce scientific, technical and medical-style images, as well as a full range of charts, tables and graphs. Image 'polishing' is also available, where our illustrators take your image(s) and improve them to a professional standard. Please visit the website to find out more.
Figure captions
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Tables can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article, or on separate page(s) at the end. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules and shading in table cells.
Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they should follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
Reference links
Increased discoverability of research and high quality peer review are ensured by online links to the sources cited. In order to allow us to create links to abstracting and indexing services, such as Scopus, CrossRef and PubMed, please ensure that data provided in the references are correct. Please note that incorrect surnames, journal/book titles, publication year and pagination may prevent link creation. When copying references, please be careful as they may already contain errors. Use of the DOI is highly encouraged.
A DOI is guaranteed never to change, so you can use it as a permanent link to any electronic article. An example of a citation using DOI for an article not yet in an issue is: VanDecar J.C., Russo R.M., James D.E., Ambeh W.B., Franke M. (2003). Aseismic continuation of the Lesser Antilles slab beneath northeastern Venezuela. Journal of Geophysical Research, https://doi.org/10.1029/2001JB000884. Please note the format of such citations should be in the same style as all other references in the paper.
Web references
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.
Data references
This journal encourages you to cite underlying or relevant datasets in your manuscript by citing them in your text and including a data reference in your Reference List. Data references should include the following elements: author name(s), dataset title, data repository, version (where available), year, and global persistent identifier. Add [dataset] immediately before the reference so we can properly identify it as a data reference. The [dataset] identifier will not appear in your published article.
References in a special issue
Please ensure that the words 'this issue' are added to any references in the list (and any citations in the text) to other articles in the same Special Issue.
Reference style
Text: Indicate references by (consecutive) superscript arabic numerals in the order in which they appear in the text. The numerals are to be used outside periods and commas, inside colons and semicolons. For further detail and examples you are referred to the AMA Manual of Style, A Guide for Authors and Editors, Tenth Edition, ISBN 0-978-0-19-517633-9.

One set of page proofs (as PDF files) will be sent by e-mail to the corresponding author (if we do not have an e-mail address then paper proofs will be sent by post) or a link will be provided in the e-mail so that authors can download the files themselves. To ensure a fast publication process of the article, we kindly ask authors to provide us with their proof corrections within two days. Elsevier now provides authors with PDF proofs which can be annotated; for this you will need to download the free Adobe Reader, version 9 (or higher). Instructions on how to annotate PDF files will accompany the proofs (also given online). The exact system requirements are given at the Adobe site.
If you do not wish to use the PDF annotations function, you may list the corrections (including replies to the Query Form) and return them to Elsevier in an e-mail. Please list your corrections quoting line number. If, for any reason, this is not possible, then mark the corrections and any other comments (including replies to the Query Form) on a printout of your proof and scan the pages and return via e-mail. Please use this proof only for checking the typesetting, editing, completeness and correctness of the text, tables and figures. Significant changes to the article as accepted for publication will only be considered at this stage with permission from the Editor. We will do everything possible to get your article published quickly and accurately.

And just for thought...
If at the End
If at the end of my life, I have not written the next great American novel,
I have loved and been loved.
I have touched the beginnings of life and watered my blooms
even if not all of them sprouted petals.
I can look back, remembering the taste of every fear that chained me,
every tear that sung my hurt,
and I can go to my resting place knowing I never faltered even at my worst.
I will take with me the care, the companions that walked with me
even the ones that were only there for a passing moment.
These moments of passing love filled my heart just the same.
At the end of my life, I can move on knowing that I leave with all of me,
knowing that my memory will stay with those who loved me the most,
knowing that I gave my all for just one smile from them.
If at the end of my life, I have only life to only one child,
I know she will be amazing in every way and she will go on without me just the same.
I can take with me her sweet baby smell, our young woman talks,
and the blessing that I was given the chance to stand beside her as long as I could.
I know, even after I'm gone, she'll always carry me with her in her own way.
At the end of my life, I can go knowing love conquered all
even if I had given up, even if I had cursed it.
I can move on with a smile at all the moments I was lucky enough to live.
Leave a Reply.
At the end of the day, I'm just a girl who has been in love with writing her entire life. I am full of quirks, anxieties, fears, joys, laughter. And all I have wanted to do was give the world a smile.

Title: Vision in Silver
Author: Anne Bishop
Series: The Others #3
Release date: March 3rd 2015 by Roc
Pages: 368
Genres: adult, urban fantasy
Rating: ★★★★★ – 5/5 stars
I won't provide a synopsis, because it will spoil you if you haven't read the previous two books.
I received this book fro the publisher via Edelweiss, in exchange for a review. This does not influence my opinion in any way. The bookdepository link is an affiliate link. If you do not wish to use it, please don't feel obliged to do so.
I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw Vision in Silver on Edelweiss. I screamed internally. Why, you ask? The Others is one of my all-time favorite series and I have been anticipating Vision in Silver since March of 2014, when Murder of Crows was released and I devoured that one. When I got an email that stated I got approved to read it, I actually squealed -and startled my roommate. And it did not disappoint!
When I started reading this, I was in the middle of exams. I received the email around dinner time and knew I had to get up early the next day to study. So I told myself to not pick it up. But around 8, I just couldn't do it anymore. I HAD TO READ IT. I kept reading until midnight, went to sleep and finished it the next day. This series is so addicting!
The reason why I love this series so much is that it is both action-packed, funny and it has great characters as well. You don't really favor one character because there are so many to love. Every side character is important to the story because every side character has an influence on Meg. They are so diverse but most of all they are extremely well-developed.
This novel gave me even more insight into Meg's character. it focuses more on her personal struggle than the two previous ones did but it still has some great action and surprises for you. Since her escape, Meg has been adjusting to life outside the compound she lived in. In Vision in Silver Meg tries to cope with both her tendency to cut and her continuous exposure to things new to her. I loved that we slowly get to know more about her and about blood prophets in general. And don't even get me started on the other characters! Simon… I ADORE HIM. He is one of my favorite characters. How oblivious he can be to such normal human emotions, or our way of thinking makes me laugh every time.
And the world! In this world, The Others control everything. They have the lands, the money and the raw materials. The only reason they tolerate the humans is because they can get something out of it too. But slowly, humans are getting greedy and they have created a movement called Humans First and Last. HFL plays a more prominent role in this book than the previous two, they are gaining more and more influence which leads to violent attacks and confrontations.
I can't really say all that much about the plot because it would spoil you for the other two books if you haven't read them so I will just conclude this review with how I feel about this series.
Vision in Silver, just like the the previous two books in The Others series, kept me on the edge of my seat. I had my eyes glued to the screen and traded hours of sleep -which I very much needed- just so I could keep reading for just a while more. It's the kind of series that makes you feel attached to not only the main characters but to every side character as well. It's full of action but at the same time, it makes you laugh and feel so much. This series needs to get more attention, it is incredible.

Capital acts as a buffer against losses and provides protection for members when a credit union is struggling financially. Therefore, an institution's level of capital is a key measurement of its financial strength. From a safety and soundness perspective, the more capital, the better.
NEW YORK TIMES EMPLOYEES scored 22 out of a possible 30 points on our test to measure the adequacy of a credit union's capital, exceeding the national average of 15.65.
NEW YORK TIMES EMPLOYEES had a capitalization ratio of 22.00 percent in our test, better than the average for all credit unions, a sign that it could have an easier time weathering financial trouble than its peers.
This test's purpose is to try to understand how the credit union's reserves set aside to cover loan losses, as well as overall capitalization could be affected by problem assets, such as past-due loans.
A credit union with lots of these kinds of assets may eventually have to use capital to cover losses, decreasing its cushion of equity. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning money, resulting in lower earnings and potentially more risk of a failure in the future.
NEW YORK TIMES EMPLOYEES scored 40 out of a possible 40 points on Bankrate's asset quality test, beating out the national average of 38.09.
Troubled assets made up 0.00 percent of NEW YORK TIMES EMPLOYEES's total assets in our test, below the national average and suggestive of greater financial strength than other credit unions.
How successful a credit union is at earning money has an effect on its long-term survivability. Earnings can be retained by the credit union, boosting its capital buffer, or be used to deal with problematic loans, likely making the credit union more resilient in times of trouble. Credit unions that are losing money, however, are less able to do those things.
NEW YORK TIMES EMPLOYEES underperformed the average on Bankrate's earnings test, achieving a score of 2 out of a possible 30.
One sign that NEW YORK TIMES EMPLOYEES is running ahead of its peers in this area was its earnings ratio of 0.00 percent in our test, higher than the average for all credit unions.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.
