The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Research in Classroom Learning: Processing and Processes
Ronald P. Leow, Sergio Adrada Rafael, and Marisa Filgueras-Gómez
Sergiio Adrada-Rafael (with Marisa Filgueras-Gómez) is a contributing author, "Reactivity, language of think aloud protocol, and depth of processing in the processing of reformulated feedback," p.201-213.
Book description:
The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Research in Classroom Learning is a comprehensive psycholinguistic approach to the issue of instructed language learning that is uniquely theoretical, methodological, empirical, pedagogical, and curricular. Bringing together empirical studies with theoretical underpinnings, this handbook focuses on conceptual replications/extensions of, and new research on, classroom learning or Instructed SLA (ISLA). In chapters from leading experts, the Handbook reports on the tenets of several models that have postulated the roles of cognitive processes in the L2 learning process and also covers two major methodological data-elicitation procedures to be employed in addressing learner cognitive processes (think-aloud protocols and eye-tracking). With a dedicated interest in the role of this research in pedagogical ramifications, this handbook strives for deeper understanding of how L2 learners process L2 data in instructional settings.
A Cuban Cinema Companion
Salvatore Jiminez Murguía, Sean O'Reilly, Amanda McMenamin, and Michelle Leigh Farrell
Michelle L. Farrell is a contributing author, "Jessica Rodriguez': Espejuelos Oscuros".
Book description: With the recent shift in Cuba-US relations stemming from the relaxing of travel restrictions and an influx of American visitors, interest in Cuba and its culture has increased substantially. A new emphasis has been placed on the island country's many cultural and artistic achievements, specifically in film. Cuban cinema is recognized around the world as having produced some of the most celebrated works originating from Latin America—such as Fresa y Chocolate and La Muerte de un Burócrata—as well as many prominent artists—including directors Tomás Gutiérrez Alea and Humberto Solás. In A Cuban Cinema Companion, editors Salvador Jimenez Murguía, Sean O'Reilly, and Amanda McMenamin have assembled a collection of essays about more than 100 films across six decades, including feature films, documentaries, and animation. These entries also provide information on directors, actresses, and actors of Cuban cinema. Entries range from films like Retrato de Teresa to Buena Vista Social Club and include descriptions of each film's plot, themes, and critical commentary, as well as comprehensive production details and brief suggestions for further reading.
The Precariousness in the Cinemas of the Americas
Constanza Burucúa, Carolina Sitnisky, and Michelle Leigh Farrell
Michelle Leigh Farrell is a contributing author, "Narrating precariousness in Cuba beyond Havana and the ICAIC: The case of television Serrana's Ariagna Fajardo and 'A donde vamos?'"
Book description:
Historically, cinema in the Americas has been signed by a state of precariousness. Notwithstanding the growing accessibility to video and digital technologies, access to the material means of film production is still limited, affecting the spheres of production, distribution, and reception. Equally, questions about the precarious can be traced in cultural and archival policies, film legislations, as well as in thematic and aesthetic choices. While conventional definitions of the precarious have been associated with notions of scarcity and insecurity, this volume looks at precariousness from a non-monolithic angle, exploring its productivity and potential for original, critical approaches, with the aim of providing new readings to the variedly rich and complex cinemas of the Americas.
The Buffoons, A Ridiculous Comedy
Margherita Costa, Sara Diaz, and Jessica Goethals
OVEME v.63. This translation makes The Buffoons, the first female-authored comedy printed in Italy, available to Anglophone readers for the first time. Published in 1641, this burlesque play depicts the mismatched sexual desires of a prince and princess. Although set in northern Africa, the comedy satirizes the Florentine court of Grand Duke Ferdinando II de' Medici, one of Costa's several elite patrons. By featuring the clownish antics of an unconventional cast of dwarfs, hunchbacks, and buffoons, it reflects the bizarre appetites and grotesque entertainments of the day. Ribald puns and commedia dell'arte-inspired slapstick abound, presenting the reader with a comic alternative to decorous women's writing in early modern Italy.
A Dinamica do processamento bilingue
Elena Ortiz Preuss, Ingrid Finger, Sergio Adrada Rafael, and R. Leow
Sergio Adrada Rafael (with R. Leow) is a contributing author, ". La Atención y la concienciación en el campo de la adquisición de segundas lenguas", pp. 191-232.
Les llengües minoritzades en l'ordre postmonolingüe
Esther Monzó Nebot, Juan Jiménez Salcedo, and Laura Gasca Jiménez
Laura Gasca Jiménez is a contributing author, "La traducción y la enseñanza de lenguas de herencia: una aproximación a la experiencia traductora (EN-ES) de hispanohablantes bilingües en los Estados Unidos," p.89-103.
Book description:
Les llengües han estat durant segles eixos vertebradors de l'espai polític i de la subjectivitat creadora. Identifiquen cultures, atorguen nacionalitats i defineixen els límits de l'autoritat. La coexistència normal de diverses llengües en espais compartits que defineix el segle XXI reclama que qüestionem un esperit monolingüe que entrebanca les nostres evolucions socials, polítiques, culturals i personals. Les contribucions que recull aquest volum ens porten a gaudir de la nostra condició postmonolingüe alhora que miren amb ulls crítics el monolingüisme encotillador.
Chapter abstract:
The relationship between language teaching and translation is not an easy one; however, in the last decades, translation has gained growing popularity as a pedagogical tool in language teaching. Following the same line of inquiry, this study constitutes a first a step towards the integration of the translation activity in heritage language teaching as it focuses on revealing the habits, attitudes, and background knowledge of Spanish heritage language learners in the United States. The study was carried out with fifty-nine undergraduate students of Spanish as a heritage language enrolled in a high-intermediate class at the University of Houston. The participants completed a linguistic background survey, a survey about their translation habits and attitudes, and a translation task from English into Spanish. The results indicate that most Spanish heritage learners translate frequently from English into Spanish. The most popular translation contexts are the familiar and personal, the academic, and the professional. Their attitudes towards translation are very positive and most highlighted its instrumental value in the context of the United States. In addition, the translation analysis shows that most participants are able to transfer most original messages of a source text through the use of different translation techniques with varying precision levels. Keywords: translation; language teaching; Spanish as a heritage language; pedagogical translation.
La relación entre la enseñanza de lenguas y la traducción es conflictiva; no obstante, en las últimas décadas, la traducción ha ganado una creciente popularidad como herramienta pedagógica. Enmarcado dentro de la misma línea de investigación, el presente estudio constituye un primer paso hacia la integración de la actividad traductora en la enseñanza de lenguas de herencia, ya que se centra en sacar a la luz los hábitos, las actitudes y los conocimientos previos con los que los estudiantes de herencia de español llegan a las aulas en los Estados Unidos. El estudio se llevó a cabo con cincuenta y nueve estudiantes universitarios de español como lengua de herencia matriculados en una clase de nivel intermedio alto en la Universidad de Houston. Los participantes completaron un cuestionario sobre sus antecedentes lingüísticos, otro cuestionario sobre sus hábitos traductores y actitudes y un ejercicio de traducción de inglés a español. Los resultados indican que la mayoría de los estudiantes de herencia traducen a menudo en la combinación inglés-español. Los contextos principales de traducción son el familiar y personal, el académico y el laboral. Sus actitudes ante la traducción son muy positivas y la mayoría destaca su valor instrumental en el contexto de los Estados Unidos. Además, el análisis de las traducciones indica que la mayoría es capaz de transmitir la mayoría de los mensajes de un texto de origen mediante el uso de técnicas variadas de traducción con diferentes niveles de precisión.Palabras clave: traducción; enseñanza de lenguas; español como lengua de herencia; traducción pedagógic.
Women Screenwriters: An International Guide
Jill Nemes, Jule Selbo, and Michelle Leigh Farrell
Michelle Leigh Farrell is a contributing author, "Cuban Women Filmmakers from 1959 until 2013".
Book description - Women Screenwriters is a study of more than 300 female writers from 60 nations, from the first film scenarios produced in 1986 to the present day. Each entry gives an overview of the history of women screenwriters in that country, as well as individual entries on its most influential. The scope and range of the book, then, is far beyond any existing coverage of the subject. The volume is divided into six sections by continent: Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, North America and South America, with entries from the more frequently written about nations such as the United States, United Kingdom, France and Australia, to nations such as Malta, Romania, South Africa and Switzerland, where a rich but rarely discussed tradition of female screenwriting has been unearthed.
The Transatlantic Gaze: Italian Cinema, American Film
Mary Ann McDonald Carolan
Tracks the influence of Italian cinema on American film from the postwar period to the present.
In The Transatlantic Gaze, Mary Ann McDonald Carolan documents the sustained and profound artistic impact of Italian directors, actors, and screenwriters on American film. Working across a variety of genres, including neorealism, comedy, the Western, and the art film, Carolan explores how and why American directors from Woody Allen to Quentin Tarantino have adapted certain Italian trademark techniques and motifs. Allen's To Rome with Love (2012), for example, is an homage to the genius of Italian filmmakers, and to Federico Fellini in particular, whose Lo sceicco bianco/The White Sheik (1952) also resonates with Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) as well as with Neil LaBute's Nurse Betty (2000). Tarantino's Kill Bill saga (2003, 2004) plays off elements of Sergio Leone's spaghetti Western C'era una volta il West/Once Upon a Time in the West (1968), a transatlantic conversation about the Western that continues in Tarantino's Oscar-winning Django Unchained (2012). Lee Daniels's Precious (2009) and Spike Lee's Miracle at St. Anna (2008), meanwhile, demonstrate that the neorealism of Roberto Rossellini and Vittorio De Sica, which arose from the political and economic exigencies of postwar Italy, is an effective vehicle for critiquing social issues such as poverty and racism in a contemporary American context. The book concludes with an examination of American remakes of popular Italian films, a comparison that offers insight into the similarities and differences between the two cultures and the transformations in genre, both subtle and obvious, that underlie this form of cross-cultural exchange.

Farms, Factories, and Families: Italian American Women of Connecticut
Anthony V. Riccio and Mary Ann McDonald Carolan
Mary Ann McDonald Carolan is a contributing author, "Foreward."
BOOK DESCRIPTION: Documents the rich history of Italian American working women in Connecticut, including the crucial role they played in union organizing. Often treated as background figures throughout their history, Italian women of the lower and working classes have always struggled and toiled alongside men, and this did not change following emigration to America. Through numerous oral history narratives, Farms, Factories, and Families documents the rich history of Italian American working women in Connecticut. As farming women, they could keep up with any man. As entrepreneurs, they started successful businesses. They joined men on production lines in Connecticut's factories and sweatshops, and through the strength of the neighborhood networks they created, they played a crucial role in union organizing. Empowered as foreladies, union officials, and shop stewards, they saved money for future generations of Italian American women to attend college and achieve dreams they themselves could never realize.
The book opens with the voices of elderly Italian American women, who reconstruct daily life in Italy's southern regions at the turn of the twentieth century. Raised to be caretakers and nurturers of families, these women lived by the culturally claustrophobic dictates of a patriarchal society that offered them few choices. The storytellers of Farms, Factories, and Families reveal the trajectories of immigrant women who arrived in Connecticut with more than dowries in their steam trunks: the ability to face adversity with quiet inner strength, the stamina to work tirelessly from dawn to dusk, the skill to manage the family economy, and adherence to moral principles rooted in the southern Italian code of behavior. Second- and third-generation Italian American women who attended college and achieved professional careers on the wings of their Italian-born mothers and grandmothers have not forgotten their legacy, and though Italian American immigrant women lived by a script they did not write, Farms, Factories, and Families gives them the opportunity to tell their own stories, in their own words.

The Encyclopedia also includes writers and subjects of contemporary interest, such as those relating to journalism, film, media, children's literature, food and vernacular literatures. Entries consist of an essay on the topic and a bibliographic portion listing works for further reading, and, in the case of entries on individuals, a brief biographical paragraph and list of works by the person. It will be useful to people without specialized knowledge of Italian literature as well as to scholars.
Unmarried Women: Stories
Matilde Serao, Paula Paige, and Mary Ann McDonald Carolan
Mary Ann McDonald Carolan is a contributing author, "Foreward."
BOOK DESCRIPTION: Matilde Serao is widely regarded as the most successful Italian woman journalist of the nineteenth century as well as being an important writer of fiction. A great observer of life, Serao focused her writing directly on the most pressing problems of a newly unified Italy, urban poverty, and the North/South divide. Historian and critic Benedetto Croce said of her that she had an "imagination that is limpid and alive"; Nobel Laureate Giosue Carducci called her the greatest woman writer in Italy; and Gabriele D'Annunzio dedicated a novel to her. She was apparently on the short list for the Nobel Prize in 1926, which ultimately went to the Sardinian writer Grazia Deledda.
This collection, the first to make Serao's short stories available in English translation, reflects this naturalistic writer's interest in the everyday drama of the lives of women in the Italy of her day. In Serao's spare and simple prose, the young women of turn-of-the-century Naples come to life, negotiating the details of school and work, church and marriage, in a world circumscribed by fathers and chaperones, fiances and bosses. Infused with the writer's deep sense of humanity, their quietly involving stories--at once so poetic and so ordinary--attest to the transformative power of literature, and to the promise that even the most humble life holds.
The Italian American Experience in New Haven
Anthony V. Riccio and Mary Ann McDonald Carolan
Mary Ann McDonald Carolan is a contributing author, "Foreword."
BOOK DESCRIPTION: Using interviews and photographs, Anthony Riccio provides a vital supplement to our understanding of the Italian immigrant experience in the United States. In conversations around kitchen tables and in social clubs, members of New Haven's Italian American community evoke the rhythms of the streets and the pulse of life in the old ethnic neighborhoods. They describe the events that shaped the twentieth century—the Spanish Flu pandemic, the Great Depression, and World War II—along with the private histories of immigrant women who toiled under terrible working conditions in New Haven's shirt factories, who sacrificed dreams of education and careers for the economic well-being of their families. This is a compelling social, cultural, and political history of a vibrant immigrant community.
Understanding Place: GIS and Mapping Across the Curriculum
Diana S. Sinton, Jennifer J. Lund, Kurt Schlichting, and Joel D. Goldfield
Kurt Schlichting and Joel Goldfield are contributing authors, "GIS and Sociology in Foreign Language Learning,"
Book description: Understanding Place is a reference for teachers who wish to deepen student involvement by using GIS technology to analyze, and visualize information. Using interactive maps, students in all disciplines have the opportunity to go beyond words to develop the skills and habits of seeing, thinking, and communicating with information-rich images. When students use GIS and mapping as tools to practice inquiry in their fields, they see more, understand more, and engage in a meaningful way with their subjects. Contributors candidly describe GIS-based teaching, learning, and research across the range of a liberal arts and sciences curriculum.

Old Master Landscape Photography
As a photographer, you probably spend time reviewing the work of other photographers. If you're interested in Landscape Photography, then you will no doubt have reviewed the work of those considered to be masters of their craft such as Ansel Adams. But have you ever stopped to review the work of painters, especially the landscape work of the old masters. With image editing becoming easier and taking on an increased importance in producing a finished image, we should look to the painting techniques of the old masters. It might just give your landscape photography work a new edge if you do.
Take a look at this painting by Andreas Achenbach in 1852 titled Sunset after a Storm on the Coast of Sicily.
(Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Collection, Bequest of Catharine Lorillard Wolfe, 1887)
There are a few points that we should note about how the painter has created this image and the illusion of light:
- There are large areas of shadows to indicate the absence of light falling in these areas. As Photographers we often seek to include detail in shadow areas where perhaps we would be better sending these areas to black.
- Although there are large areas of deep shadows, there are hints of structure and detail in these areas which make you look further.
- Along the skyline are silhouetted trees. These help the illusion of light giving the impression of sharpness and definition in the bright areas area. These are the laws of physics yet when many photographers process images they to try to make everything equality sharp and detailed everywhere in the scene.
- Notice how the light falling onto the water has created areas of detail with contrast and colour present. Here there is structure in the waves which adds detail and the areas where light falls are brighter and more saturated. These areas tend to draw the eye and hold our interest.
- Notice how the painter has created recension in the pointing with the distant hills having less shadow and less well defined detail. This creates the illusion of depth in the painting. Despite this, how often do we landscape photographers strive to produce amazing detail and sharpness from the foreground to the distant hills (blame Ansell Adams and the 64 group for that).
In short, when we edit our photographs, we can control the viewer's perception and journey around the image. Here are a few ideas you might want to apply to your own work if you don't already:
- Consider using a vignette to draw the viewers' attention into the centre of the frame.
- Adding a border helps to contain an image and add weight. It helps create a boundary so that the viewers eye doesn't wander easily outside this.
- Don't be afraid to plunge selected areas into shadow. Techniques such dodging and burning are a great help here.
- Remember that shadows have less detail but still retain large structural elements to maintain interest.
- If you're working in colour, shadows and distant objects have less saturation than close objects.
- Close objects are sharper, with higher contrast and more detail than distant objects. This helps create the illusion of depth, as in the following image.

Taking a great, well composed, well exposed image is the start of the process. You then need to adjust the image using the techniques mentioned above. Remember that the eye is drawn to areas of detail, contrast, light and saturation so selective adjustments are essential. This means you will need to develop (if you haven't already) your ability to make selective changes in Lightroom and or Photoshop. Filters such as the Nik Collection (now available for free) and in particular Viveza, can be a huge help in this process.
Above all else, practice and patience will be required. Just as a great painter didn't master their techniques overnight, if you wish to be a master of landscape photography you will need to experiment and practice.

Contemporary Romance: Taking Chances by @loniflowers (excerpt)
Taking Chances
By Loni Flowers
At age twenty-three, Alex has had a hard life. His parents died when he was quite young, leaving his grandparents to raise him. Right before his high school graduation, his grandparents passed on too, leaving him all alone. After losing everyone he's ever loved, Alex turns to the streets in a self-destructive pattern until he finally ends up in Springhill, where he tries to make a new life for himself.
Clair's childhood was normal until age thirteen, when her father left the family and she never heard from him again. Consequently, her mother went into a deep depression, forcing Clair to grow up quickly. After finishing high school, Clair's heartache over her father's absence as well as her unbearable mother drive her to strike out on her own. But having nowhere to go and no family to speak of, Clair wanders aimlessly from town to town, homeless, and without purpose. Looking for work wherever she goes and living hand to mouth on the streets is tough, Clair discovers, but living with her mother is worse.
Now twenty-one years old, Clair has found her way to the last place she and her family took their final vacation as a family--Springhill. While in town, she crosses paths with Alex and their ensuing relationship grows faster than expected. Soon Clair wonders if coming back to Springhill and meeting Alex was the best decision or the worst decision she ever made. Show More Show Less
Nostalgia seeped through Marie Clair Davidson's mind as she stood on the street corner, trying to decide whether she should stay in Springhill or run to the next city. In the past six months, no other city in Virginia had given her the sense of dread that this town did. Her parents used to bring her downtown every year to window shop and play at the nearby amusement park before traveling east to the coast for a week at the family's beach condo. She still remembered what it felt like to comb her fingers through the cool morning sand after she woke her parents at sunrise, begging to look for seashells. Her fondest memories of her family came from those summer vacations. But they stopped being a family nine years ago. After Clair's father left her mother and her, there were no more family vacations.
If the town were as busy as she remembered, she might get lucky finding work. Smaller than its neighbor, Richmond, Springhill was nevertheless always buzzing with tourists who flocked to the area for the history. Large shopping outlets and several amusement parks created a major tourist district for those families who wanted to stay close to
everything. Her parents chose to stay in Springhill mainly out of convenience. Navigating Richmond traffic wasn't worth the trouble and, if they ever wanted to do something special, they hopped on a bus for a day trip.
Hopefully, it wouldn't take her long to get a quick job, make a few bucks and head to the next town. Clair knew one thing: wherever she went; it wouldn't be back to Charleston, West Virginia. She had been fending for herself since her dad left, at the age of thirteen, and staying out on the streets wasn't much different from trying to live with her divorced mother. Instead, Clair would do what she knew best; travel like a vagabond from city to city until the day finally came when she could find something worth staying for.
As she meandered down the sidewalk in search of some place to grab a bite to eat, she noticed how deserted the downtown area looked. There weren't any shops open; most were boarded up with plywood over their windows. Some of the buildings looked weathered and shabby, making it difficult to even read their names anymore. The streets were empty. Clair could only guess that many of the old shops had abandoned this small town and opted for the more popular Richmond.
After she walked several blocks, she looked up at the sound of a bell and saw a man walking out of what looked like a small diner. As he crossed the street, a flashy, red Open sign caught her attention. Clair walked toward it, hoping it would lead her to a place she could eat. She intended on using the cash given to her by a family she hitched a ride with from North Carolina.
As Clair entered the diner, she noticed a group of guys sitting in the back booth, talking loudly. They looked up at her. Two of them nodded toward Clair, trying to get the attention of the other guys who had their backs to her. When they turned around, they whistled at her, giving her a wink. She rolled her eyes, turning up her lip in disgust. She contemplated looking for another place to eat, but the aroma of grilled food filled her nose, making her stomach rumble and her mouth water. Other than the creeps in the back corner, it looked like a good spot to grab a decent meal, rest her legs from walking and clean up in the bathroom.
She picked up a menu from the counter and looked over it. There were so many foods she hadn't tasted in a long time, hamburgers and hot dogs, soups and salads, ice cream and pie. It all looked delicious. It didn't seem to matter how many meals she skipped or how many times she told herself that she'd get used to not eating, eventually, she could not deny her hunger. After no meals for the past two days, Clair's stomach ached at the thought of eating again.
"Good evening, hon, what can I get you tonight?" the waitress asked cheerfully. Clair ordered a burger, large fries and a Coke. As a treat to herself, she also ordered a slice of apple pie. Usually, she didn't splurge on that kind of food, but she was going all out with this meal.
The waitress tilted her head and looked Clair over. "Are you going to be eating here or would you like it to go?"
Clair smiled sheepishly and looked down at herself. She had the feeling that this lady was assessing her appearance, like people usually did. But Clair looked back at her, her head held high and grinned. "I'll be eating here."
"Okay, hon. Just grab a seat and I'll bring it out shortly."
After cleaning up in the bathroom, Clair hoped the idiots that occupied the back booth would be gone. To her disappointment, they remained. She picked a booth as far away from their voices as she could get. After a few minutes of sitting alone, Clair heard the squeak of the kitchen door open and the waitress approached her carrying several plates in one hand, while holding a drink in the other. How the woman managed to hold everything, she had no idea. All of it would end up on the floor if she had to do it. She wasn't very coordinated when it came to stuff like that.
"Here you go, hon," the waitress said, placing the plates in front of her. "You sure someone your size can eat all that?"
Clair's mouth watered as she looked at the food, "I'm not sure I can eat it all, but I'm definitely going to give it a try."
After the waitress left, Clair dove into her dinner. She watched the obnoxious guys through her hair as she bent forward over her plate. She couldn't wait for them to leave, hoping it would be before she was ready to go. She didn't have to look at them to know they were watching her. It felt like they were boring holes into her with their eyes. Goose bumps chilled her skin, making her sick with apprehension. Clair laughed at the thought of their faces if she gave them the finger, but she knew she didn't have the nerve to do it. She decided if they hadn't left by the time she finished her pie, she wasn't sticking around.
Finally, after a few more minutes, they ambled to the counter to pay for their food. After a few whistles and kissy faces later, they were gone and Clair released a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding. She had a bad feeling about them. Clair watched them through the window as they crossed the street, but it wasn't until they were in the shadows, away from the diner before Clair felt more comfortable.
Stuffed from dinner, Clair gathered her things and noticed the clock on the diner's wall. Eleven. She knew she needed to find a place to sleep for the night and decide where she wanted to go from here. From the looks of the empty shops, Clair wasn't sure she'd have much luck finding work. She wasn't looking for your normal eight-to-five. Clair needed a more stable living situation then she presently had, to work those kinds of hours. She learned from past attempts that she could fool people for a while about her living arrangements, but eventually, someone always found out. And that was always her cue to move on to the next town. After getting caught a few times, side jobs were her best bet. She walked for several blocks before noticing just how deserted the streets were. An orange glow cast dark shadows between each lamppost, and not a soul walked the streets. She didn't remember it being that way. Even for the late hour, tourists were always milling around in this town.
As Clair strolled down the sidewalk, she stopped suddenly when she heard laughter behind her. Turning, two people walked behind her on the opposite side of the street. One whistled and called out to her and she sensed it was one of the same guys from the diner. Panic overtook her. The hair on her arms stood up as she wondered what they might do, if anything. Adrenaline pumping, Clair turned and walked faster. She hoped to put more distance between them and her, but she could hear their laughter getting louder. Directly behind her now, her heart raced, anticipating their confrontation. She tried to cross to the other side of the street, but her legs trembled and she felt weak as her body panicked.
"Hey! Don't you hear us talking to you?" One of the guys half-yelled to her, grabbing her arm. "We just want to talk."
Clair snatched her arm away, giving the guy a disgusted look. She looked him over. He wore an orange, collared shirt, and pressed khaki pants. His hair was combed down, not a strand out of place. He didn't look like a creep, but Clair knew guys like him came wrapped in all different packages.
"Don't touch me," she seethed, "I heard you just fine. If I wanted to talk, I would have acknowledged you. Leave me alone."
"Oh c'mon, baby, don't be like that. You're not lost, are you? Girls out this late and all alone are only looking for one thing… I'm sure we can help you find what you're looking for."
Clair kept walking, ignoring his comments, but then she felt him run his hand down the back of her hair. She spun around and pushed him in the chest. "I told you to leave me alone!"
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him, "What do ya think, Chris? Are you feeling adventurous tonight?"
"I don't know, Paul. I mean, last time it was fun, but what if we get caught? I'm not down for doing jail time again. I just got out, and I don't need to piss my parole officer off again. I'm not going back in, I can't risk it. Plus, you said last time was the last time."
Clair tried to pull away from Paul, but he only tightened his grasp. Panic filled her. Her heart pounded in her chest. The sound thrummed loudly in her ears, and she knew she was in trouble. They had done this before. Clair looked around, but couldn't spot anyone who could help her.
"Come on, man… don't be such a downer. We always get away with it. Plus, just look at her." Paul reached around and grabbed her butt. "You should feel how tight her ass is; you know you want some."
They were talking about her as if she weren't there and, the more they talked, the more her skin crawled. She had to get away. With her free hand, she swung fast and slapped Paul across the cheek. He didn't even flinch, but his eyes grew wide with surprise before they turned to an angry glare.
"Oh, I see you like to play rough, huh?"
With his other hand, he gripped her throat and forced her up against the brick wall of a boarded-up shop. Clair grabbed his hand, gasping for breath as she tried to pry his fingers off her neck. She tried to scream, but her voice trailed off when he clamped down.
Paul released his hold on her neck and brushed her cheek with the back of his other hand. "Now, if you promise to be quiet, I can make this much more enjoyable for you." His touch made her feel sick. She turned her head and bit his hand, her teeth sinking deep. He tried to pull away, but she could taste his blood and it filled her with crazed anger. She tore at him savagely, but suddenly, her head was thrown back and a sharp pain shot through it.
"Fuck! You bit me. It's going to be fun fucking you," he said with a menacing grin as he released the hold on her neck and grabbed her wrists.
Clair swung her arms frantically, squirming between the wall and his weight against her. She managed to evade his grasp and attempted to run, but he was too fast. He snatched her back with a handful of her hair.
"HELP!" she screamed.
Her cry was cut off when Paul backhanded her across the mouth. She stumbled to the side, lost her balance, and fell forward, stopping herself from doing a faceplant with her hands. Paul knelt in front of her and pushed her shoulders back, forcing her to lie on the sidewalk. Straddling her waist, he held her wrists above her head and she could feel his hardness pressing against her hips. Clair retched. As he pressed his finger to her cracked lip, she winced. The taste of her own blood ran across her tongue.
Smiling at her pain, he slid his finger down her neck. "If you scream and try to run again, you'll have a lot more to worry about than me fucking you. Do you understand me?"
Clair nodded.
"Good girl," he said, smiling.
His hands mauled her breasts and she could feel his heavy breathing hot on her neck. Clair wanted to fight, but she was no match for him, and she didn't want to add "dead" to his list of felonies. There was a tearing sound and she felt a cool draft of air across her exposed chest. She turned her head to the side and saw the other guy leaning against the wall, watching them. She caught his eye and detected no trace of compassion on his face. He smiled at her and Clair realized then, if she stopped resisting, it would be over soon. She tried not to think about what he was doing, but his touch was rough and hungry as he ripped her bra away, mashing each breast in the palm of his hand. He squeezed them hard, groaning with pleasure.
The other guy prodded Paul with the toe of his boot. "What the fuck, man? Hurry up!" "What? Can't you see I'm having my moment? Back the fuck up or watch. I don't give a shit. Just shut up and keep a look out."
"Whatever, man. Remember this isn't a love session. Hurry up and do her so I can get my turn."
"Please, don't do this," Clair cried. "Get off me." She wiggled her body, trying to escape, but her hands were pinned beneath his legs.
"I told you to hold still!" he yelled slapping her across the face. The force whipped her head to the side and the taste of blood filled her mouth once more.
Clair gritted her teeth, waiting for it to be over. He pulled at the zipper of her pants in an attempt to pull her pants down from around her hips. Clair closed her eyes, refusing to look at his face. She swallowed a scream, forcing back the pain of his weight against her body, her back aching against the concrete. Her eyes shot open when a deep voice boomed behind her in the dark.
"Hey! Get your hands off her."

Established 20 years ago, Youngevity's core philosophies are based on the principles of co-founder, Dr. Joel Wallach, who has dedicated his 40-year career to answering one crucial question: How can we live younger, longer?
Dr. Wallach's pioneering work proves that nutrition and environmental changes have a profound effect on our overall well-being. He helped expand the definition of wellness, while launching a movement that puts people on a holistic path to better health.
Dr. Joel Wallach, and Youngevity have pioneered the mineral supplement market, spreading the "90 For Life" message throughout the world.
Since 1997, Youngevity has had one objective, to enhance the lives of people through lively health and wealth.
Over the years, continued development and innovation has established Youngevity as one of the most successful companies in the health supplement market.
And this is just the beginning…
Real health and health is only possible if it radiates from a strong, fundamentally-sound center.
There is a core group of 90 essential nutrients that have the greatest positive impact in bringing dynamic health to the human body's complex and multi-dimensional systems.
Dr. Wallach got a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Agriculture from the University of Missouri in 1962 with a significant in Animal Husbandry (Nutrition) and a minor in Field Crops and Soils.
In 1964, he was granted a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine (DVM), also from the University of Missouri.
From 1965 to 1968, Dr. Wallach finished a postdoctorate fellowship at The Center for the Biology of Natural Systems at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.
In 1982, he obtained a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine (ND) from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon.
Groundbreaking research study on Trace Minerals
In 1977, Dr. Wallach found the world's first recognized case of non-human cystic fibrosis in a selenium-deficient Rhesus monkey while he was a scientist at the Emory University Yerkes National Primate Center in Atlanta, Georgia. At the time, cystic fibrosis was believed to be the result of a human congenital disease.
Dr. Wallach's significant discovery set him on a 20-year course of research study surrounding the health benefits of selenium and other trace minerals. As a result of this work, he became referred to as the "Mineral Doctor" and the "Father of Liquid Mineral Supplementation."
Early Work
Dr. Wallach held essential positions with leading zoos and universities in the United States and Africa including Director of the Jacksonville Zoological Park in Jacksonville, Florida; Research Veterinarian for the South Africa National Parks Department (where he was a member of the popular "Operation Rhino" team); and Director of Research at the St. Louis Zoological Park in St. Louis, Missouri.
At the demand of Africa's National Parks and Wildlife Management Department, Dr. Wallach led an exploration to catch and mark elephants in the Wankie Game Preserve in Rhodesia as part of a migration research study. He is likewise among the founders, and a previous editor, of the Journal of Zoo Animal Medicine. He is a prolific author and has actually published more than 70 scientific papers and thirteen books consisting of the famous textbook "Diseases of Exotic Animals." This book is still used today by leading veterinary schools and is on the Smithsonian Institute's suggested reading list for Zoological Gardens and Aquariums.
The founding of Youngevity
In 1997, Dr. Wallach and Ma Lan, MD, MS founded American Longevity, the multi level marketing company understood today as Youngevity. Within 5 years, the company had a growing and effective international network of distributors and chosen customers with workplaces in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and Japan.
Today, Youngevity is a network-marketing leader providing premium, ingenious and special items that benefit health mindful customers and company owners.
First Amendment Advocate
His vigorous efforts and dedication to the general public's First Amendment rights to finish details on the therapeutic advantages of nutrition triggered the FDA to establish Qualified Health Claims for Selenium (" may lower the danger of particular cancers") and Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids (" may decrease the danger of coronary heart disease"). Only a few Qualified Health Claims exist, positioning Youngevity in a distinct position amongst dietary supplement and direct marketing businesses.
Dr. Wallach is the author and co-author of more than 70 articles released in peer-reviewed journals covering dietary and pharmaceutical research study. He is likewise a significant contributor to thirteen books including the well-known textbook "Diseases of Exotic Animals." This book is still utilized today by leading veterinary schools and is on the Smithsonian Institute's advised reading list for Zoological Gardens and Aquariums.
You can see some other Wallach videos here.
First we have the older version of the Dr. Wallach introduction video. This a great video introduction to Wallach and some of what he thinks on nutrition.
You can always watch more Youngevity videos on our Youtube channel with the button above these videos.
In addition to being active in his field of expertise, Dr. Wallach has also written many books.
His published articles mentioned above are only a portion of his works.
The books he has authored, or co-authored include:
The Truth About Nutrition - Joel D. Wallach ND
Holistic Health Made Simple - Cochise Tarak-Saa, Forward by Dr. Joel Wallach
Los Medicos No Mienten (Spanish Edition) - Dr. Wallach, Dr. Ma Lan

Many of his books have been considered well received.
"Dead Doctor's Don't Lie" is a notably popular title among his works since it's revision in 2004.
Dr. Joel Wallach has contributed much to the world of health with his knowledge of vitamins and minerals.

Stop the Washington exemption from Obamacare
U.S. Senators Enzi, R-Wyo, and Vitter, R- La., introduced legislation this month that would require the president, vice president, political appointees, and members of Congress to purchase their health insurance on the Obamacare exchanges without the help of taxpayer funded subsidies. Congressional staff would be prohibited from receiving any contribution greater than what they would receive if they were not employed by a congressional office.
The Senators introduced the bill in response to a recent decision issued on August 2 by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) stating that the government would be able to continue to make employer contribution to the health plans of congressional members and staff. According to Enzi, the OPM's ruling essentially shielded Congress and the administration from higher costs, limited access, and confusion that the rest of America will feel due to Obamacare.
"Not only Congress, but the president and the Administration should live under the same rules they are forcing on the American people," said Enzi. "Delays, exemptions, special treatment is the name of the game with this massively complex and onerous new law, but it's no game. This is people's health care and they deserve fairness. This bill will help them get it."
Congressmen Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) and Dennis Ross (R-Fla.) introduced companion legislation in the House of Representatives and will also offer it as an amendment to House version of the Continuing Resolution.
Wyo Delegation Secures return of Mineral Revenue for State
After "legal review" and "careful consideration", the U.S. Department of the Interior has decided to do what U.S. Senators Mike Enzi and John Barrasso, as well as Rep. Cynthia Lummis, all R-Wyo., argued that the Obama Administration was required to do in May — return sequestered mineral revenue owed to the states. Wyoming will get back approximately $50 million that was scheduled to be sequestered in fiscal year (FY) 2013.
"The sequester has been used to justify a lot of questionable policy decisions but I'm pleased that Wyoming's money will be returned next year. This revenue helps pay for vital investments in our communities and should never have been taken in the first place," Enzi said.
In 2013, the Obama Administration decided that the states' share of mineral revenue under the Mineral Leasing Act would be subject to sequestration – the automatic, across-the-board federal government spending cuts. The Wyoming delegation, along with lawmakers from other Western states, opposed the move. In addition to discovering and advancing the legal argument for the reimbursement of sequestered revenue, the Wyoming delegation introduced legislation that would allow states to collect their own share of mineral revenue.
Enzi bill sends federal land back to Powell
Thanks to legislation introduced by Senator Enzi, the Powell Recreation District will soon be the proud owners of the property they have operated for years. Passed by the Senate and House, in June and September respectively, the Bureau of Land Management will transfer the land once it is signed by the President.
"I'm glad to see this land on its way back to the people of Powell," said Enzi. "They have been excellent stewards of this land for years and I'm confident they will continue to manage the site responsibly in the future."
Enzi would vote against military action in Syria
Senator Enzi stated that he had not seen a proposal for U.S. military action in Syria that he supported and that he would vote "no" if given the opportunity.
"We shouldn't use our military to intervene in the conflict without specific, definable and achievable U.S. policy and strategic objectives. It is too much to risk," said Enzi.
American people deserve full account of Benghazi
U.S. Senators Enzi and Barrasso, R-Wyo, joined a bipartisan group of senators recently in introducing a resolution that calls for a joint select committee to be established to investigate and report on the Benghazi attack in Libya that killed four Americans, including the first U.S. Ambassador to be murdered since 1979.
In the resolution, the senators state that, "President Barack Obama declared in his first address to the nation about the attack on September 12, 2012, 'make no mistake, we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people,' yet there has been no action of reprisal and no justice rendered."
Amendment to strip EPA authority to regulate haze
According to Senator Enzi, the Environmental Protection Agency's decision to partially disapprove of Wyoming's plan to regulate regional haze will create an economic and bureaucratic nightmare that will have a devastating impact on Western economies.Enzi introduced an amendment that would protect state rights to regulate their own regional haze, stripping the authority from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
"The haze we most need to regulate, in fact, seems to be the one that is clouding the vision of the EPA as it promotes a plan that would impose onerous regulations on power plants that will in turn pass those increased costs, in the form of higher energy prices, on to consumers" Enzi said.

Historic potato conference in store for top European researchers
The latest scientific progress in all fields of post-harvest research and development will be presented at a conference in Norwich on 12 to 14 March.
Hosted by AHDB and Certis, the post-harvest section of the European Association for Potato Research (EAPR) meeting will focus on the future of long-term storage in the likely absence of sprout suppressant Chlorpropham (CIPC).
The programme also includes potato tuber pathology, potato physiology, dormancy and store management.
Glyn Harper, Crop Storage Senior Scientist for AHDB, who has helped build the programme for the event, said: "2019 is a big year for the potato industry and the future of long-term storage.
"The likely absence of CIPC in Europe is one such challenge and there will be sessions exploring the regulatory, strategic and possible technical solutions – both chemical and non-chemical. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear leading representatives discuss the challenges concerning the loss of CIPC.
"I'm sure there will be lots of interest to our fellow post-harvest colleagues, who are traveling from across Europe, North America and as far as New Zealand to attend."
EAPR has partnered with Agri-Tech East in an Innovation session, providing delegates with the opportunity to hear first-hand from innovators in the potato and post-harvest sectors about their various technologies
The venue for the meeting is the Maids Head Hotel, Norwich, known to be the oldest hotel in the UK, dating back over 800 years. It is situated in the local area of Tombland and the heart of historic Norwich.
There will be a technical tour on the 14 March, including commercial bulk and box stores and the opportunity to see the facilities and research undertaken to Sutton Bridge Crop Storage Research.

General Merchant Inventory System
This system maintains the products/items that are available in a general shop.
Starting from the purchase of the raw materials i.e. the items entering into
the shop, their cost fixing, their sales were recorded. The items are sold
based on the rate that was fixed during the entry of the item into the shop.
Thus this system maintains the item details grouped by their entry.
Since this software is mainly developed for a general merchant shop, apart from
selling items, there can be few more commerce that can run together. This
software had the provision to add that commerce with the main business.

Summary: It might be an awkward situation for you to be dating someone who is suffering from bipolar disorder. However, a small help offered from your side can help the person you are dating to cope well with his/her disease.
Bipolar disease is considered as a life threatening depressive disease, since the patient suffers from loneliness badly. However, love sways away all the depression and loneliness from life automatically. Thus, if you are dating someone who is suffering from bipolar disease, you can help him/her to get better sooner. Dating could be fun and fun is the one thing that bipolar patients miss in their life. A little tolerance from your side can give a new dimension to your date suffering from this acute mental syndrome. You can make the treatment process easier for the person you are dating, who is a bipolar patient.
Dos and Don'ts with Bipolar Patients
Handle your partner with utmost care. This is the first tip to help them cope with their mental syndrome. Bipolar disease will most likely make the person you are dating aggressive, violent and pessimist. However, you can be the one person who can infuse lot of positive energy in your partner. Get hilarious and make things easy for them. Tolerate their mood swings with love and assure them that you will always be there throughout their good and bad times. Bipolar patients suffer from loneliness. Thus, take your date (who is a bipolar patient) out frequently. Take them out to fun places. Build an atmosphere of fun, happiness and delight around such patients. It helps them in coping up with their depressive mood.
Moreover, if this disease is not yet detected in the person you are dating and you find the symptoms matching, you must convince your partner to seek a doctor. You cannot force your thoughts upon bipolar patients so easily; thus, be very tolerant while you convince your partner to seek a doctor. Once confirmed, you become even more responsible to take due care of your partner. The stress of suffering from this disorder is very traumatic for the patients. In such a scenario, you can make your partner feel absolutely normal. Plan vacations, spend time, love them, comfort them and make them believe that they will get better soon.
Do not show aggression at all under any circumstances. Do not avoid your partner suffering from bipolar disorder due to any unavoidable argument or fight that has happened between the two of you. In fact, it is the worse time to leave bipolar patients alone. They can get depressed in excess and take suicidal steps very easily. Thus, the basic thing that you need to do is avoid fights at any and every cost. If it becomes unavoidable and happens, do not leave your partner alone even for a second. You can never judge the mood of bipolar patients. Thus, do not create negative atmosphere for your partner all by yourself. This will push him/her towards depression and negativity.
Further, you can be of great help to a bipolar person you are dating, since you are liable to spend time with him/her. Your partner will never miss the factors like love, happiness, hanging out, etc., in life. The feeling of loneliness, depression and emptiness will get no place whatsoever. This aids the bipolar patients a lot. They look forward to having some people who they trust in every situation. Therefore, your presence will be an added boon for your partner who is a bipolar patient. You can always be supportive when they try to deal with life normally. Be supportive of them and motivate them to indulge in their normal life schedule all over again.
Your love, patience, commitment, presence, care and support can make the treatment process very easy for your partner. Thus, you can make it easy for the person you are dating to deal with his/her mental abnormality.

In a new report, ECRI's Lakshman Achuthan reiterates his thesis that the U.S. economy is in a recession.
Among his many points was this one about how consecutive quarters of negative earnings growth coincide with recessions. From his report:
This is a bar chart of S&P 500 operating earnings growth going back a quarter of a century on a consistent basis, as we understand from S&P. Others can choose their own definitions of operating earnings, but this is the data from S&P. In this chart, the height of the red bar indicates the number of consecutive quarters of negative earnings growth.
It is interesting that, historically, there have never been two or more quarters of negative earnings growth outside of a recessionary context. On this chart, showing the complete history of the data, the only times we see two or more quarters of negative growth are in 1990-91, 2000-01, 2007-09 and, incidentally, in 2012. This data is not susceptible to the kind of revisions one sees with government data. The point is that this type of earnings recession is not surprising when nominal GDP growth falls below 3.7%. So, even though the level of corporate profits is high, this evidence is also consistent with recession.
In short, earnings recessions seem to coincide with economic recessions.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel are separating after eight years of marriage, according to People. The former couple released a joint statement on their split, noting that they broke up earlier this year:
With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year. To give our family the best opportunity to adjust, we wanted to keep this a private matter before sharing it with the public. We are and will always be united in our support of each other and our family.
In January, Fergie, who first met Josh on the set of his show Las Vegas in 2004, took to Instagram to celebrate their 8th wedding anniversary, along with a photo of them together at sunset.
Josh had a matching post to celebrate the occasion.
Fergie and Josh have one son, Axl, who turned four in August.

You may have picked up on some subtle hints in my previous posts and noticed some changes here on the blog. So let's talk about that today. After many, many sleepless nights, working all night and deep conversations with my husband, I'm now a full time writer here on the blog (and no longer employed). Sometimes you're at a crossroads in your life, and I most certainly was. I'm so lucky he's a part of my life, because not every husband would be this supportive. I worry about him carrying the load for (what I hope will be) this brief period in our lives.
My Job:
My previous work schedule left me feeling like a shell of a person. The shame of it all is that I planned my wedding during this deeply stressful time. Without going into too much detail, my territory grew so large that I ended up covering one-third of the entire North American continent. I left a decent job only to find myself in a horrible one. In my early 20's I would have loved to have a job like this. But I'm in a different place in my life and I have growing kids who need me. Things are a bit different. Had I known this was the path my job would have taken, I would have never accepted it. So even though the job is no longer, still, even a week later, I still wake up stressed and with my heart beating out of my chest.
My plans:
Tuesday was the first day of my new life. I've mostly wandered around the house. I felt numb, but my mind was racing while I considered my next steps. As the week progressed, I got the kids' lunch money accounts refilled, and filled out forms that were piling up. I even noticed some subtle "kid things" like friendship problems, homework issues, and other family things that I might not have noticed when I was under duress. So I spent time on these things. We even played Uno this week. Several times. 🙂
Then I got sick with the flu. Once I started to feel better, I started running again. After today I'll be at 9 miles for the week. Fitness is the first thing that falls off the list when I don't feel good about life, and I intend to change that. I know eventually this will all subside. In a lot of ways, this is opening up my mind to new work options, partnerships, and consulting gigs that I had been too scared to consider before.
Sometimes the best decisions I've made in my life are when I'm yanked out of my comfort zone.
So…what's next?
I'm not exactly sure…do stay tuned also for more free printables. The creative juices are flowing, so you may anticipate more blog changes are a-comin'. While I don't quite know where it's all taking me…somehow I realize — that I DON'T ALWAYS need to have all the answers.
Not today.
In the meantime, THANKS for keeping me company on this crazy journey 🙂

New Advances in Hearing Aids
New advances in hearing aids are constantly improving; with new technology being developed daily.
But, what are the most recent advances that we have seen and how do they help people who use hearing aids? We decided to find some of the newest advances and share them with all of you!
Open Acoustic Fittings are improving the way people hear with a virtually invisible hearing aid! With Open Acoustic Fittings, the ear canals remain free, which can then preserve their natural ability to amplify sound.
Multi Programs are the different programs that come with most hearing aids. They allow you to manually select what you hear by choosing a program that best fits the environment you are in. The main benefit to these is the fact that they can simplify adjustments and the add convenience to the wearer.
Noise Reduction Feature is a recent feature which allows the user to personalize their hearing aids to disable the many unwanted background noises.
Automatic Volume Control is an advancement to hearing aids which allows the wearer hands-free volume control. Changes to hearing aids will be automatically updated, depending on the environment.

Fashion brand Supreme's red clay brick is on eBay for up to $1,000
Skateboarding and fashion brand Supreme put a red clay brick with their logo on it up for sale - and it sold out within a day.
Originally priced at $30, many bricks are now up for sale on eBay, with some sellers asking for up to $1,000 (£772).
This is the latest in a bizarre line of accessories from the New York brand, which have included hammer, calculator and fire extinguisher.
Fashion victims have been anticipating the release of the red clay brick since its preview last autumn.
It is unclear why Supreme has released a brick.
Some think it could be an endorsement or campaign yet to be announced, while others think the company could be playing on the term "bricking a fit" which means "to put together a failed outfit".
How many of these bricks would it take to build a house? One Reddit user appears to have the answer.
They wrote:"So I did the maths and calculated how many bricks it'd take to build a 2,400-square-foot home, which is 117,600 bricks. I then just took the cost of the Supreme brick, I made it $40 to include the shipping and such. So, 117,600 x 40 = $4,704,000. Thank you."
Another user commented: "That's just for a bare a** house. No insulation, no electric wiring, no cable wiring, no internet wiring. That doesn't event account for floors. Either you'd spend extra money to have brick floors, or it would just be dirt.
"I know exposed brick drives up the price of living spaces, especially in apartments in New York … I wonder if the resell price for bricks would affect the Supreme brick housing market? I mean, you'd figure that a brick could very well go for like $60-70 resale if it's extremely hyped. That would make your house worth a little over $7m at $60 per brick. This might be a good business investment."
Regardless of why the brand released a brick, people on social media were very excited about it.
It just goes to show some companies can put their name on anything and it will sell like hot cakes - even if it's a red clay brick.

Stephen started his adventure when his stepfather Gene took him bream fishing on his 6th birthday at Lake o' the Pines in East Texas. They caught 38 keepers using the cheese from their lunch as bait because they ran out of worms. A couple of years later, Gene introduced Stephen to bass fishing on Lake Murvaul using a grape firetail Texas-rigged plastic worm. He caught his first bass and from that point was totally hooked. They entered the local KYKX Big Bass tournament and Stephen caught the biggest fish. Unfortunately, it was a alligator gar. From that day Stephen knew what he wanted to do; fish competitively.
September 24, 1990, he proudly joined the U.S. Army to serve his country. He has and will always have the heart and blood of a soldier. Desert Storm kicked off and he was stationed in Augsburg, Germany with the HHQ Company, 701st MI Brigade.
A couple years after returning from the military, he finally was able to purchase a new Skeeter SS90 bass boat. It was red, white and blue and only a 16-footer, but had all he needed to get started. Living in Nacogdoches, Texas he fished everything within a 100-mile radius. Today, you can find him fishing local tournaments as well as Skeeter Bass Champs and Bassmaster Opens. Believing in giving back, he also is a boat captain for the local high school bass team.

I can't wait to watch this interview. I'm a HUGE Diana Ross fan.
Obviously she knows the truth ;) No need for foolish conversation about death and memorials, etc.

Comfort Optimizer – IF you want a perfect fitting
Audit Data, the company behind the popular Primus hearing test and fitting verification system, are pleased to announce the release of the latest unique fitting module. Called Comfort Optimizer, this module finally manages to address the issue commonly encountered when fitting hearing impaired people with hearing aids. Namely, the computer and associated fitting software is telling you that everything is fitted and should be performing perfectly but your client is saying that its "!just not quite right" or "sounds a little off".
This problem can sometimes be associated to the fact that hearing aids are technically prepared and programmed using targets and rules and further fine-tuned according to user feedback. However, this does not always lead to successful hearing aid acceptance. Successful hearing aid acceptance requires user perception of speech sounding comfortable, tolerable and clear. This is what you will get with Comfort Optimizer.
Comfort Optimizer is independent of any hearing aid manufacturer or target rules. It is only dependent on the patient's hearing loss, sound environment and the hearing aid performance. The development of Comfort Optimizer is based on 3470 combined judgments of loudness, brightness, noise and distortion made by approximately 1000 hearing impaired people. This research enables you to measure what is normally subjective, objectively.
To arrange for a demonstration of this new feature from Primus please email your local regional manager or contact our head office using the details below.
Northern Region – Gary Mulligan – email@example.com – 07768 274872
Southern Region – Mark Clare – firstname.lastname@example.com – 07770 312149

The evolutionary time-scale of technology has been compressing - meaning that development and change is occurring ever more quickly within our technological world. Businesses are presented with a plethora of choices to help them achieve their goals, but it can be difficult to wade through the benefits of each. When breaking down the benefits of cloud computing, there are many factors to consider.
Everyone is familiar with the term "cloud computing" at this point, but what can cloud computing do for your business? While it isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, some variation of cloud computing could be the answer to your company's networking needs, under the right circumstances.
For start-up businesses, the decision is a fairly easy one. Just go cloud! There are little to no upfront costs and the solution will grow as the company grows. Time is always a factor, so having your servers in the cloud gets you up and running within hours, not weeks. Additionally, start-up businesses don't typically have the staff required to maintain and monitor servers and applications. Cloud servers allow you to focus your time and energy on getting your new venture off the ground.
Established businesses also reap many of the same benefits – lower costs, dynamic growth, reduced IT staff, compliance, and simplified backup and disaster recovery. Developing a migration plan to the cloud is the main challenge in this scenario. You'll need to answer some of the below questions when developing your migration plan:
But, you don't have to answer them alone. The right approach is to consult a partner with expertise in cloud migration strategy, like Host.net. Our team can both qualify the network and applications for a cloud environment and formulate a plan to get there with minimal disruption. Without a proven partner to assist, you'll have some major migration issues to overcome.
Some common migration challenges include:
Host.net will examine your network, applications and other requirements to analyze the feasibility of going to the cloud and the costs involved. Once the qualifications have been performed, a migration plan can be created detailing each step, along with a timeline. Our team takes every aspect of the business into consideration during strategy development, including the vastly nebulous subjects of network security, backup, disaster recovery, user experience and customer experience.
If you are contemplating moving your business to the cloud, feel free to contact us for a free risk assessment. Preparation is key! With Host.net as a partner, you will develop a cloud strategy that gives you peace of mind.
