Fans of X Factor contestant Saara Alto who live in her native country of Finland say they have found a way to vote for her on the show.
Nightflyers star David Ajala moves on as Netflix show is axed after one seasonIn fact, the foreign fans have claimed to get 15 free votes per week each, thanks to the iOS app X Factor produced themselves.
A Facebook group called Suomi kannustaa Saar Aalto includes instructions on how to vote for the 29-year-old singer — who reached second place on the Finnish version of The Voice — from afar.
The instructions, translated to English by The Mirror, say iPhone users should 'remember to use a different email address from your Finnish App Store one.'
'You can choose London as your place of residence and you can find various different postcodes by searching for London postcodes on Google.
'You will get an email asking you to verify your new account. After verifying the email the X Factor UK App will install on your phone and you can vote.'
So basically fans of Saara have been pretending to live at various locations in London just to secure her a place in next week's round.
Presumably these votes cannot be discounted, and Saara — who has released four albums and came close to representing Finland in Eurovision twice — may rise or fall this week based on how many she gets.
A show insider told The Mirror: 'It's obviously not that successful because she's been in the bottom two quite a few times. But the reality is, she may not have even made it this far if she wasn't being backed by her own country.'
The non-English support for Saara on Twitter is valtava (that's Finnish for huge).
@TheXFactor @saaraaalto @MrsSOsbourne Finland is going to loose her to world and i'm glad for saara.Thats what she want do 😍😍😍😍—

Saara's main rival this week seems to be fellow 'novelty' act Honey G, whose performance of U Can't Touch This last night was almost ruined by a stage invader.
Meanwhile Saara played piano and sang The Winner Takes It All by Swedish pop royalty ABBA. Somewhat of a telling song title? Finland hopes so…
The X Factor continues tonight at 8pm on ITV.
Metro.co.uk has contacted The X Factor for comment.

It is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery. However, when imitation takes the form of plagiarizing intellectual property, it comes off as more of an insult than an homage. This is especially true in the world of comics, with storied rivalries between companies, artists, and writers leading to the widespread theft of characters for fun and profit. Unbeknownst to us, many of our favorite heroes and villains are actually rip offs of other brands. Minor cosmetic or narrative changes may have been made to avoid outright lawsuits, but close examination can expose eerie similarities between characters owned by rival companies.
RELATED: 15 Times Green Arrow Stole Batman's Shtick (And Vice Versa)
To be fair, many heroes across multiple companies share similar powers, a problem that seems more indicative of a lack of creativity than outright robbery. For example, Flash and Quicksilver are both speedsters, but don't look alike and have very different stories and origins. Even though the character of Pietro Maximoff debuted a full 24 years after Flash, it wasn't the Flash character that was stolen, just his powers. Discounting these particular instances, here are 15 superhero characters that were stolen.
First appearing in The Amazing Spider-Man #194 in 1979, Black Cat is a renowned, cat-themed burglar who wears a sultry black outfit and engages in flirty innuendo with her primary opponent. She is usually armed with artificial claws and a whip, has no superpowers, but is a proficient martial artist and contortionist. First appearing in Batman #1 in 1940, Catwoman is a renowned, cat-themed burglar who wears a sultry black outfit and engages in flirty innuendo with her primary opponent. She is usually armed with artificial claws and a whip, has no superpowers, but is a proficient martial artist and contortionist. Seriously, the only visible difference between the two is that Black Cat has white hair. Of all the stolen superhero properties, this is one of the most obvious.
There is no shortage of bug-based superheroes in comics. In fact, some of the most popular heroes are based on spiders, ants, and wasps. So when DC created a character in 1977 that had the ability to shrink, fly, and sting and was named after a bee, people were largely accepting of the concept. However, many also noticed that she bore more than a passing resemblance to the Wasp, who'd been hanging around Marvel pages with the same powers and costume since 1963. The visual similarities were so blatant between the two characters that the only thing that managed to eclipse the outright plagiarism was Bumblebee's skin tone. As DC's first female African-American superhero, the fact that she's a rip off of a beloved Marvel property is generally overlooked.
This plagiarism is so obvious, it's become a running joke both in the comic book community and in universe. Though he's transformed into the explicit, fourth-wall breaking screwball we know and love today, Deadpool debuted as a straight-laced mercenary in "The New Mutants #98 in 1991. Famously, creator Rob Liefeld showed his original designs to writer Fabian Nicieza who immediately recognized the design template as being identical to DC's Deathstroke the Terminator, a Teen Titans villain who'd been stomping through comic pages for over a decade at that point. Deciding to run with Liefeld's infamous lack of creativity, Nicieza even named the character after Deathstroke, calling him 'Wade Wilson' as opposed to 'Slade Wilson.'
Jack Kirby is one of the most important figures in comic books. When he was working with Marvel in the early 1960s, he was crucial to the development of many iconic characters such as the Fantastic Four, Thor, Silver Surfer, and the X-Men. However, a contract dispute caused him to leave the company in favor of DC in 1970. There, he set to work creating The Fourth World, a series featuring brightly colored alien heroes that developed its own mythology tangential to the existing DC brands. A few of his characters were direct rip offs of his older work. For example, the Black Racer is a more colorful Silver Surfer, the New Gods have a similar group dynamic to the X-Men, and Orion shares Thor's temperament. More importantly though, the entirety of the Fourth World anthology shares Kirby's signature visual aesthetic and narrative style with his previous work for Marvel.
The Richard Rider version of the Man Called Nova got his start as a hero when a dying member of an intergalactic peacekeeping corps chose him as his replacement. Even rookie comic book readers can recognize that this is nearly identical to the origin story of Green Lantern/Hal Jordan. Though both characters have moved in very different directions and there are marked differences between the Nova Corps and the Green Lantern Corps, a hero's origin story is a vital part of understanding their character. When an origin is so clearly being copied from an older, more successful property, it makes it clear just who the writers and artists had in mind when creating this new brand.
At this point, it seems traditional for all superhero teams to have 'the water guy' who can handle any ocean-centric problems and keep the team hydrated on a hot day. Many think that this trend started with DC's Aquaman in 1941, but, in fact, Marvel beat the orange-armored Arthur Curry to the punch with Namor the Sub-Mariner in 1939. Both are Atlantean-human hybrids who are the royal monarchs of their respective kingdoms, can control sea life, and are hesitant of dealing with the surface world. Also, both are notorious for having the most ridiculous costumes of their universes, so there's that.
Swamp Thing is DC's living embodiment of 'The Green,' a human-plant avatar of pure preservation and conservation. Since 1971, he's been the champion of a green, environmentally-friendly lifestyle. On the surface, these all seem like good things. Unfortunately, Man-Thing had already been doing all that and more for a full two months before Swamp Thing saw the light of day. Additionally, both characters look nearly identical and have suspiciously similar origins. Because of the shorter period of separation between the two, this may seem more coincidental than anything. It may be more than coincidence though that the characters' creators, Len Wein and Gerry Conway, were living together at the time. Though both have denied copying the other's work in the past, there is too much synchronicity at stake for there not have even been indirect correlation.
The big baddie of the Marvel universe, Thanos is the Mad Titan, a driven existential alien hellbent on destroying the universe to woo the esoteric concept of death itself. To this end, he is constantly chasing the Infinity Gauntlet, the grand McGuffin of the MCU which will give him the power to unwrite reality. He's also a more colorful version of Darkseid, DC's Tyrant of the alien world Apokolips, who wants to control existence by discovering the Anti-Life equation. Darkseid was one of Jack Kirby's creations in the aforementioned Fourth World and the similarity of his character could be seen as Marvel trying to reclaim some of the work they lost out on due to their dispute with him. If this is the case, than making Thanos brighter and more colorful in a direct imitation of Kirby's style is just adding insult to injury.
On the surface, it appears the only similarity Hawkeye has with his older DC counterpart, Green Arrow, is their shared use of a 12th century weapon in a world filled with contemporary ballistics. Hawkeye had a difficult upbringing in a circus and flirted with villainy before settling down as a hero. Green Arrow was born into a wealthy business family and his liberal beliefs led him directly into being a champion of justice. Apart from their upbringing, however, they are actually more identical than may first appear. Both are wisecracking characters who serve as comic relief for their respective teams, both have girlfriends who adhere to bird motifs, and both employ trick arrows in their arsenal. On top of that, bows are too arbitrary a weapon for one to use without taking influence from a predecessor. Even Green Arrow was openly based on Robin Hood.
The 'Master Assassin' archetype is as common in superhero comics as the 'Superhero' archetype, so it's no surprise that there'd be a bit of overlap just due to a limited amount of material to work with. That being said, when two characters are so similar that they even share a catchphrase, it might be too late to hide the obvious influence one took from the other. Though he may not look like Deadshot, Bullseye, who first appeared 26 years later, also features a prominent, circular design on his head, is also trained in the use of multiple weapons outside of conventional guns, and also constantly proclaims that he "Never misses." Honestly, outside of their appearance the only difference between the characters appears to be motive. Deadshot is a consummate professional who kills for money whereas Bullseye has a psychopathic streak that takes advantage of his chosen occupation.
Created by the great Frank Miller in 1981, Elektra Natchios became a primary romantic foil for the superhero Daredevil, but her job as a the Kingpin's personal assassin drove a wide wedge between them. The iconic panel of her death by the hands of Bullseye with her own sai cemented her place in comic book lore. But her story, particularly her relationship with Daredevil, rings strangely familiar. Perhaps because it's the same relationship shared by Talia al Ghul and Batman. It's the classic 'ninja-assassin-falls-in-love-with-crime-fighter-but refuses-to-give-up-villainy-because-of-personal-vendetta-slash-daddy-issues' story. I believe Shakespeare wrote the first version of it.
The whole gimmick behind the Red Hood character isn't that he's a resurrected Jason Todd. That's just an outlet for the character to work through. No, the real draw of who Red Hood is as a character is that he's Batman but without all that pesky morality. All writer Judd Winick had to do was think of the most famously cool and edgy hero he could come up with and make him cooler and edgier. So instead of borrowing more from Batman, it's clear he looked across the pond, saw that The Punisher was a super graphic character, and then made Red Hood the Punisher, complete with an arsenal of guns, a moral compass that justifies the wholesale murder of criminals, and the training necessary to terrorize and eliminate his victims.
Superman is perhaps the most generic superhero of all time, if for no other reason than he's the one who jumpstarted the entire genre all the way back in 1938. As such, it can be hard for other heroes to step out of the shadow of the imposing American icon from Krypton. It's even harder when you are known throughout pop culture as "The Marvel Superman." To be very fair, Sentry, created in 2000 by Paul Jenkins, Jae Lee, and Rick Veitch, is not just a Superman rip off. He has a very different personality than the Man of Steel and his insane alter-ego, the Void, has created a hero-villain dynamic that Superman is fundamentally incapable of supporting. However, when your powers and place in your universe boil down to essentially 'I can lift all the things,' then you're never going to fully be able to separate yourself from the guy who embodies that very concept.
Sometimes rip offs are unintentional coincidences, sometimes they're knowing tributes, and sometimes they're designed to be scathing, personal insults to other properties. Enter the Squadron Supreme, consisting of core members Hyperion, Nighthawk, Power Princess, Whizzer, and Doctor Spectrum, the respective copies of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern. Aside from their identical powers, the Squadron Supreme emphasizes the worst qualities of the brands they're parodying. Hyperion is bratty and impatient to conquer the world, Nighthawk is brooding to the point of abusive, Power Princess is aggressively arrogant, Whizzer is annoying and self-centered, and Doctor Spectrum is quietly unappreciated, taking a backseat to his more famous colleagues. Creators Roy Thomas and John Buscema could not have made it more clear that this imitation is in no way flattery.
You don't even need to see a picture of Fighting American to know exactly who he's meant to be a direct copy of. Just listen to that name. Fighting American. Fighting. American. Created in 1954 by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, the character was meant to be a protest against Timely Comics, which would later become Marvel. Not only was his origin a complete copy and paste of Captain America's, he also had an unbreakable shield as a weapon, had a teenage sidekick in a blue uniform, and was later shown to have "not aged a day" since WWII. Frankly, it's amazing that Fighting American was created by actual comic book artists. He sounds less like a legitimate superhero and more like the title of a badly-dubbed Russian bootleg of Captain America: the First Avenger.

MINN. PREP FOOTBALL: Storm has explosive potential
In his first six seasons as Stephen-Argyle's head football coach, Ethan Marquis has led the Storm to the Section 8 nine-man championship game four times, including wins in the past three.
Never in that run of success has Marquis gone into a season with the proven offensive talent he has this season with Hunter Yutrzenka at quarterback, Joston Hoeper at running back and Isaac Durand at receiver.
"They're very talented,'' Marquis said. "And I like their work ethic.''
The offense starts with Yutrzenka, a senior who was 69-of-121 passing for 1,060 yards last season. Marquis has never entered a season at Stephen-Argyle with a quarterback who has completed as many passes or thrown for as many yards as Yutrzenka did.
"Hunter is very athletic,'' Marquis said. "He's quick, has a strong arm and he has the speed and ability to run the ball.''
Durand caught 17 passes for 410 yards last season; again, the most receiving yardage Marquis has had in a returning receiver. "Isaac was a state track qualifier (in the long jump) last spring,'' Marquis said. "That tells you he's an athletic kid. He's made some nice catches, and he's added a little more strength.''
To balance out the passing game, Hoeper will lead the ground game. The senior carried 157 times for 958 yards last season—the second-highest rushing yardage Marquis has had from a returning back.
"Joston's not the biggest guy,'' Marquis said. "He has some good quickness. But he's more of a power runner. He's a strong kid.''
Having a proven three-pronged attack makes it easier for Yutrzenka to run an offense.
"We trust in each other,'' the senior said. "When defenses focus on any of us, it opens things up for other guys. We'll try to take advantage of that. If they stop the run, we can throw; if they stop the pass, we can run.''
But, while the Storm have experience at the skill positions, there is rebuilding to do on the line. Senior Zach Gerszewski is the lone starting interior offensive lineman returning from last season's 11-2 team.
"The line is the big factor,'' Yutrzenka said. "They give us room to run and they give me time to throw. We graduated some guys, but we have guys who can fill those spots. I think our line will be as good as last year.''
Marquis is looking for players such as Jesse Clark, Mason Mock, Ethan McGregor and Collin Neuschwander to round out the blocking unit.
"It's mostly unproven guys,'' Marquis said, ''not that we don't think they aren't capable. They haven't gotten a lot of varsity playing time. I think we can have a good line. But it will take time.''

ATSIMA Conference 2018; Starting the Revolution.
Date: Tuesday 10th - Friday 13th July 2018
The theme of ATSIMA 2018 is Starting the Revolution. The revolution was coined by the delegates at the ATSIMA 2016 conference which acknowledged the need for a paradigm shift in mathematics education to make a difference for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learners.
ATSIMA 2018 will create this paradigm shift by exploring the development of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mathematics curriculum. We will hear from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander speakers about their Knowledges and their connections to mathematics. The conference delegates will then have an opportunity to talk through these ideas and start the development of a mathematics curriculum that values our Knowledges. This work has the potential to influence curriculum authorities at the state and national levels.
ATSIMA 2018 is also an opportunity for delegates to showcase their work in mathematics education and, more broadly, in STEM education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaners. Delegates will hear from a range of speakers across several education levels and sectors.
For more information about the conference, go to https://atsimanational.ning.com/conf2018.

I loaded pinstripe from my local ftp server (ftp.tux.org) and installed it

be something to look into.
I did check and see that the motherboard is seeing two cpu id's (the cpu's
are a matched set).
Any ideas?

Many of his books on the value chain and understanding what companies offer witin the industries in which they work were written between 1995-2011.
He invented the "Hassle Map" to help companies conclude on what to do differently. Values are expanding and by tapping into the upside potential of increasing opportunities, firms can increase their capabilites and revenues for newcomers and incumbants.
1. What is the psychology of our customers? What do they want out of life? How do existing products meet those desires? And if they don't, why not?
2. Which hassles drive customers crazy? Are there hassles they barely notice because they're so familiar—but which we might be able to fix?
3. What is using our current product really like? What are its strengths?—and more important, what are its weaknesses? Where does our product waste customers' time, even if only a few seconds? Where does it squander their money, even if only a dollar or two? Where does it create needless confusion, even if it's only momentary? Where does it require extra steps, even only one or two? Where does it generate avoidable risks, even if they're seemingly remote?

Fantasy world - a poem
Fantasy world
We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion.
The great task in life is to find reality.
Iris Murdoch
I have a dream that goes on and on,
A waking dream, a slumber dream,
A dream like a raging fire,
My hearts only desire.
Seemingly caught in a gust of wind,
Spinning and twirling me around,
Flashes of color and distant scenes,
Moving faster than I can glean
Quicker paced and multi hued,
Than this drab and dreary world I know.
Pleasure filled and beckoning,
Tantalizing, magical fantasy.
I long, I yearn, I imagine,
To know what is in store for me,
That burning urge that chills the spine,
To make this dream forever mine!
A peek, a glance is all I seek,
Into that alluring threshold,
While my life goes by unnoticed,
Half lived and forsaken.
This mystery that has me bedazzled,
Blinded and bound me in its power,
Its tentacles about me, wind,
I am crazed, in my desire.
Longing, aching, never sleeping,
Tossing and turning around,
The love of my life here is weeping,
Bitter tears abound.
Life went on and so did love,
Still chasing after my dream,
Knowing not my loss, I walk in a daze,
In a delusional feel.
Reality strikes a solid blow,
Like ice upon my sleep warmed face,
Half my life has gone me by.
I awaken from my daze.
My life, a still born child,
Ended before it began,
Never moved around or made a sound,
Unheard, unseen, undone.
Never give up, I tell myself,
It is not yet time to die,
It is a huge world out there,
There is yet hope.
Picking up the bits, I trudge along,
Puzzling the pieces together,
The words of my mother ring in my ears,
"Don't fly away on a feather!"
This Poem is intended to portray the day dreamy, hazy , fantasy world of some young people, living in that twilight word between dreams and reality.
Thoughts have tremendous power; we can either create or destroy with that power. It is important to control and channelize this energy in the right direction. Dreams by themselves are not wasteful; some great works of art or literature have been birthed there. In order to harness our thought processes productively we need to learn to program our minds.We become successful individuals when we drive our thoughts and emotions instead of them driving us!!
If dreams are your power bases, dream on.. make a vision... make it work..
that was boring i didn't undderstand any word so stop writing poems you are a loser as you now i thougt your porm will be a lot better i have to right something good for my homework but i cant use anything from it so as you kknow stop writing poems your poems suck
Pure beautiful.
This is a very personal sort of poem you have shared, but that's what makes the craft unique and loved. It is interesting how often pain produces beauty. I enjoyed this, thank you.
Beautiful poem.
Super poem. I wish I'd read it ten years ago. It might have woke me up abit! Dreaming, or living out a wish for a particular life can seem rewarding at the time, but if you/I etc. don't start to and keep working to reach these goals (aka. dreams) then we may one day wake up to find the actual chance/s passed by some time ago.
the saying 'procrastination is the theif of time' comes to mind.
Keep writing.
Where do you think my stuff comes from anyway. Sometimes I have the need to get up in the wee hours and write. Lovely. yes.
Hello sofs , I am glad I found your words or you mine ! anyway yur writing is very interesting and makes me want to read more. I like this.
Keep writing.
The power of dreams.. I have written my best poetry work in a dream state lol; but it has to do with rest over clarity more than fantasy. Nice work Sofs.. Cheers.. poetry works well for you.
Beautiful poem. Dreams hold a special place in my heart. It began my craft/art.
My favorite stanza was:
"I long, I yearn, I imagine,
To know what is in store for me,
That burning urge that chills the spine,
To make this dream forever mine!"
When I read sublime art, I get shivers down my spine. It's like my brain gets an overload of emotions... and I never grow tired of it.
Thanks for sharing this,
very nice poem, I certainly look forward to reading more of your work...
its as though its a continuation to our never ending discussions and talks back then.u always strike a cord sophie.keep up the good work.
ah, to balance reality with our world of dreams and fantasy.... such is what life is made of. thankyou for expressing it so well. and thanks for answering my question about avatars. love the flower..
This is a lovely piece on dreams and goals. Your words, your graphics, and your quotes are beautiful. As a world-class dreamer, I especially connect to what you say about the power of thoughts to create or destroy, and the need to control our thoughts and emotions, rather than the other way around, if we want to be productive. Very wise indeed. Keep thinking and dreaming. Many thanks.
Thought provoking! Hats off to your writing skills..
a creative thought and beautiful one
god bless u

These cuties are some of my favorites! We had a total blast during this Boise Engagement session! We walked, we talked and we laughed a lot! I loved seeing them be totally happy and easy in front of the camera, they were naturals! And you can 100% tell how much they care for each other. I was so touched by the sweet words that Alex had for Jackie, "I thought I could write something comical and witty on here(Just to get Jackie riled up). But instead, I thought I could just say that I love my fiancé with all my heart and I can't wait to marry her. She is the most selfless person I know, almost to a fault. She works so hard and if anyone deserves this it's her".
I live to meet couples like this! That adore each other, that are kind to each other, and know how to have FUN! They got an adorable puppy a few weeks after the session, and are just soaking up the new responsibility, joy, and friendship they build with each other at their side! I love it. I CANNOT wait to photograph their wedding in September, you can bet I'll probably cry while photographing, it's FINE.
I feel honored to be a part of their story and can't wait to see what other adventures they start together! Thanks for being a blythe bride, Jackie, and thanks for being a blythe groom Alex, I'm SO excited!

As I lift up my eyes today I saw,
God's majesty displayed as the
mountains majesty surrounded me.
The birds sang sweetly and the
pink blossoms drifted to the ground
as I smelled their fragrance all around.
I lifted up my heart today
And prayed for God to heal my pain.
I listened as He told me all that I might gain.
And so together my love and I knelt
before our God and cried.
Hear our prayers and heal our hearts
As we your children do our part
To obey your laws and keep your commands
Serve our brothers and sisters with our hands.

Would you ever consider naming your children JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell or Adolf Hitler Campbell? In case you decide to do that you will probably not be able to get their name on a cake at Rite Aid! (Just an FYI for all of you who were going to consider it with your next born!!)
I'm in awe! I just can't even fathom this. What do you think the family and friends said when the parents gave their name ideas when they were pregnant? Do you think they got a lot of "ahh, that's so cute!" or "that's my favorite name!" or even "that's what I was going to name Syphalus Gon Area Kla Midea Clap if she was a boy - you are totally taking my boy name!" Why in the world would you want to put your child on a fast track to name calling and being made fun of?

Just watched this short film. If I had a heart, I would be bawling right now.
Ok It's a very short film, won't take much out of your time, but so beautifully made that it encompasses so many emotions and a moving story without a single line of dialogue. I found it genius.

Dr. Ayats | 14/7/2014
First ADR in Europe
This approach is designed to minimize surgical risks
For the first time in Europe, Doctors Oliver and Ayats have implanted a lumbar artificial disc made of polymer, using a new surgical technique that avoids the complications of this type of surgery, so far performed through the abdomen.
"The advantage of this new surgical technique, known as lateral approach, implies essentially the absence of vascular injury risk of the aorta and inferior vena cava that entails the anterior approach, the absence also of risk of injury to the abdominal viscera, and the greater stability of the prosthesis. This means less postoperative pain for the patient, a safe recovery, and a quicker return to daily life" stresses Dr. Ayats.
Moreover, "the artificial disc we have implanted is made of PEEK (polyether ether ketone), a type of biocompatible polymer that has the advantage to allow proper monitoring of the disease using MRI, and in addition this material does not cause misguided digital imaging, contrary to what happens with the rest of prostheses that are in the market", says Dr. Oliver.
Both neurosurgeons working in Barcelona explain that "so far the results have been very satisfactory, with full recovery of the patient, no complications, and a stay of only two days in hospital."
The placed prosthesis, "Inorbit" by Globus Medical, and marketed in Spain by IQGroup, has FDA and CE certifications.

CS Peer GroupB2B CS SIG – Supervisors ForumB2B CS SIG – Senior Leaders ForumContact Center Workforce Management SIGContact Center Executive RetreatEvent Calendar
The Customer Service Peer Group offers collaborative learning opportunities
to compare and share expertise with members from organizations of similar business
models through presentations, peer-to-peer discussion, and case-study examples.
Interaction quality monitoring has been a fundamental pillar of performance management since the birth of the call center. Through the years, how interaction information is captured and analyzed, what benchmarks are established, and how feedback is delivered and acted upon have all varied – often dramatically – from one center to the next.
Leading practices with respect to quality monitoring have evolved over the years in response to changing business realities and the advent of new tools. And, with the growing importance of the customer care experience component of the overall customer experience – increasingly the source of competitive differentiation, approaches must continue adjust. Finding a balance between using quality monitoring as a mechanism to increase efficiency and as a way to improve customer outcomes will be more important than ever.
Join us for this session at which you'll have the opportunity to learn about and discuss current and emerging practices in quality monitoring. We'll kick off our exploration of the topic by hearing from UWEBC members CUNA Mutual Group, Northwestern Mutual Insurance and WPS Health Solutions who will share overviews of their programs and discuss recent changes they have made to their approaches. Then, we'll spend the balance of the session in small group break-out discussions with fellow quality monitoring professionals around aspects of the topic of interest to you.
Participate in Customizing the Agenda: You'll have the opportunity to play an active part in shaping the agenda for this meeting – and to maximize its relevance for you – by suggesting and selecting topics for break-out discussions. Once the agenda is complete, you'll get to choose the discussions you want to join. This will be a highly interactive session so come prepared to share your questions, challenges and insights!
Webcast Available: If you can't make it to the event in-person, you can still watch from your computer. This option allows you to view the presentations, while attending in person provides the opportunity to participate in break-out discussions, ask questions or take advantage of networking opportunities. To attend the webcast, click the "Register for webcast" button on this meeting's homepage. You will receive a confirmation email with the link to the webcast a week before the meeting.

I wanted to make this card very special for my friends wedding.
The card is alot lighter in real life, the photos have come out a bit dark.
I used Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla card stock.
I added lots of pearls , glimmer mist, distressed the edges and inked them.
I embossed the hearts and added lots of layers.
The card was front heavy but after finishing off the inside it sits ok.

Here are some hair care tips that you can use to improve the health and look of your hair.
A healthy lifestyle
will mean healthier body and mind including healthy hair for you too.
Diet and Hair loss
are closely associated, and hence you must pay attention to your diet for a healthy hair. Excessive stress, smoking, not exercising and scarcity of nutrition are can prevent your hair from remaining healthy. Get the required amount of sleep.
While choosing your styling products, make sure that the main component is not alcohol. Presence of too much of alcohol tends to make your hair dry.
Avoid putting your hair styling products directly on your scalp. Doing so will clog the pores on your head.
Before entering a pool, wet your hair so your hair will soak up the initial water instead of the chlorinated water in the swimming pool. When swimming, remember to wear a cap to protect your hair from chlorinated water. In case you are not wearing a cap make sure that you shampoo and condition your hair properly after your swimming is over.
Hot air can be damaging to your hair.
So avoid or minimize the use of hair dryers and hot curlers as much as possible. If you are at all using a hair dryer make sure you use the cool mode of the hair dryer.
Avoid using the blow dryer at one spot for more than a few seconds
. Instead, keep it moving and most importantly you keep it at a good distance away from your hair.
To speed up the drying process, blot your hair dry with a towel instead of rubbing it to dry it. Leave the remaining moisture in your hair and let it dry naturally rather than drying it with a blow dryer.
If you notice a difficult knot in your hair, use your fingers to detangle it instead of combing it, which can result in breakage of hair.
Hair tends to be most fragile when it is wet. Avoid brushing or combing when it's wet, as doing so can cause breakage of hair. Wait until your hair is almost dry before you attempt brushing it.
Use wide toothed and smooth tipped brushes or combs. Sharp and smaller toothed combs can cause damage to your hair.
Keep your brushes and combs clean by washing them every week using soap or shampoo.
Make sure you comb your hair with wide toothed comb or use your fingers to remove any tangles before you start brushing it.
Begin by combing your hair gently at the ends to get any tangles out and work your way up to the root of your hair.
Remember to always brush or comb your hair with a down ward stroke.
Avoid using plastic brushes or combs, which create static electricity, thus resulting in causing damage to your hair.
Learn your hair type, whether it is dry or oily and purchase shampoos & conditioners that are best suited for your hair type. Trial and error and extensive research is the best way to find out which particular hair product is ideal for your hair.
Shower with warm or cool water.
Hot water can dry and irritate your scalp, resulting in irritation at times even.

These days, I'm beginning to hate online conversations that start with "hi." The way most of them end as fast as they start is enough to turn the stomach. Plus many are meaningless and usually end with "k!"
-Hw r u?
-Gud. U?
Arghhhhhhhhhhhh... Bad habits abound online. Which leads us to the main topic today: How to break bad habits. I've never thought about speaking on this, if not for a friend who needed help on whatsapp. Sorry, he needed help real life and asked for help on Whatsapp. And it is all about leaving a bad habit.
Let's proceed, shall we?
Keep the following in mind while trying to break free:
*1* Bad Habits are Bondages:
No one loves to admit it, but those bad habits we are into actually make us slaves, don't they? You find yourself being pulled by a force you can't explain. A force you find hard to break from, no matter how much you try. That's why they say BREAK away from it. Because leaving this habit is like a whole new advanced season of Prison Break. Read on
*2* You are human:
Yes, we've all watched Superman, and would have loved such powers. But what we are, are humans. I feel like singing John Legend's "We are just ordinary people..." here. But I would not. We are not ordinary. Yet, humans are what we are. Which means we fall, and err.
To Err is Human, Right? Because of this, do not overly crucify yourself. Jesus already did that for us all!
*3* Rome was not Built in a day:
Yes, I know you want to break free. It wouldn't just become so easy. You wouldn't drop the habit and start feeling great the next day. Forget the hype about how things would change from black to white "because you made the decision to change." Know it wouldn't be easy. There are steps to be taken, which leads us to the next point.
*4* Break Contacts:
What are those things that prompt us to wallow in our excrement? It is important to cut them off after the decision. This may be bad influencers, like friends and relatives that encourage it.
It could be an object. Trust me, something so simple could trigger something so complicated. Sometimes, you might have to change location, if need be. It's tough, Amigo, but it's achievable.
*5* Face Yourself:
This is actually tougher than it sounds. I've been there. Fear not. You can do it. This is about you facing that inner monster in you, yearning to indulge in the habits you detest. You must be ready to stand your ground, because crazy tests shall be thrown. No, life doesn't hate you. But, it must know whether you are ready to be helped.
*6* Surround Yourself with Positives:
Stay where the glow is warm. Metaphorically. Some habits might not permit the physical sense of glow, if you understand. (If you do not understand, that is cool. Sometimes, just sometimes, what you do not know would not kill you.)
Anyway, you must stay near those who are ready to help you. Who are ready to make you smile under the bludgeoning of temptation. Surround yourself with the positive-minded. They have their challenges, but positivity has a way of making things more bearable.
Like Rocky Balboa said in "Rocky", "I got gaps. She got gaps. But together, we got no gaps."
*7* Distract Yourself:
When the thoughts start creeping in, and they shall come (Oh, they shall!), take your mind off it with all the power you've got( Yes, you are powerful!) and divert your thought on something good. Something positive. If the habit is so strong that you find it hard to find such a positive thing, Focus on God!
*8* Replace Habit with something more wholesome:
There are great things to start engaging in, to fill in the vacuum left by the habit you are dropping. Know why?
Our Lord Jesus Christ talked about what happens when an unclean spirit leaves someone. The spirit becomes restless and wanders for a while. Seems dude's looking for a greener pasture.
In desperation, he comes back to check his previous hood. If he finds out it's clean,(That is, empty with nothing to replace the vacuum he left) he goes back, gets seven of his closest friends.
" Hey, guys, guess what? I'm holding a party at my place. Yeah, I've returned to where I used to leave! What do you think? Bring your friends, and your uhnuhnuhn..."
And Jesus Christ concluded that the future would then be worse than the past. Ponder on this, and replace that habit.
*9* Run! No, Flee!!!
Be ready! Sometimes your head would pound. Have you seen where yams are put in a pestle and pounded with a mortal before? No? Okay, just imagine someone hitting you with the world's biggest cudgel.
Go on, imagine that "someone" is the world's Strongest man! You ain't got no choice man. Run! Breath in the fresh air, and run some more. It works, Amigo, It works! Sometimes, that's all you've got.
*10* Share and Seek Help:
Imagine that friend of mine didn't seek help, would I have been writing this. No, not in a long stretch. I almost can't stop writing here. I'm willing to help more, if he asks for more help.
Why? He SHARED AND SOUGHT HELP. So, he is receiving it. MayDay! MayDay!
*11* God First:
I would be a fool if I leave that out, wouldn't I? All the above would not be easy without the invitation and intervention of God. Pray and ask for God's guidance all the way. And, you know what? He's willing, more than willing, to help you. Halleluyah!
So,,,,, I hope I've done justice to this topic, after some fashion. What do you think about this post? Let me know. Your comments encourage me.
Again, what would you like to add to help out. Believe me, you are doing a lot of people, a big favour. So, Comment, Amigo.

Back in June, I wrote about a yogurt with toffee popcorn in it [Toffee Popcorn Yogurt].
As you know, I didn't really like it.
And now I'm sitting here with another weird yogurt (ok, there's no popcorn in it, but still weird), trying to decide if it's breakfast or desert...
There's toffee in this one too.
It's Toffee Yogurt with Toffee Sprinkles and it's, you guessed it, weird.
It smells like candy and sugar and toffee and more sugar!
And it looks, well... You can see for yourselfs.
But what about the taste? It's not yogurt, that's for sure...
It's tastes more like pudding. Supersweet toffee pudding.
The toffee sprinkles are nice, they are kind of crunchy and adds more depth to the creation.
In the end I can confirm, that this is not a yogurt, but a desert.

PORTSMOUTH — Pounding rain that began Wednesday and is expected to last into the weekend could cause coastal and inland flooding.
PORTSMOUTH — Pounding rain that began Wednesday and is expected to last into the weekend could cause coastal and inland flooding.
The National Weather Service in Gray, Maine, issued both inland and coastal flood watches for much of Rockingham and southern York counties on Wednesday, following forecasts that called for several inches of rain through Friday afternoon. Dealing with a combination of high tides, potent winds and rain that varied between light and downpours, many local cities and towns were keeping a close eye on their beaches.
York Police Chief Doug Bracy told the Herald on Wednesday that the morning's high tide had brought rocks and seaweed up onto Long Sands Beach, and that officials in Kittery were keeping an eye on the coast, too. Given that this time of year brings above-average high tides, the rain makes it much more likely there will be some kind of flooding of the town's shoreline.
"We had a pretty good storm surge this morning," Bracy said.
He said inland bodies of water had been checked and that there was no expectation that those would have any flooding issues; catch basins were also being checked throughout the day. If flooding does occur, he said, officials will wait out Mother Nature, safeguard the roads for travelers and have the highway crews get out and clean up afterwards.
Police in Rye did not report any coastal flooding issues as of mid-afternoon Wednesday, but the evening's high tide had not yet arrived. The Newington Fire Department also reported no significant flooding as of nearly 6 p.m.
While those traveling by vehicle Wednesday had a commute that featured wet roads and sprays of water kicking up from their tires, no major accidents were reported by Seacoast police departments.
The National Weather Service was predicting light snow throughout Saturday and Sunday.
In other areas of the state and region, The Associated Press reported a powerful winter storm dumped a foot or more of snow on Wednesday, knocking out power to thousands and stalling air traffic from Boston to Philadelphia, all ahead of a second system packing strong winds that could blanket the region with another foot of snow.
