Cleveland: "Well, that was easy…"
Today's #FreeStix! RPOTD is brought to us by the Jan 25th, 2015 thread. It's short but I liked it because pitch forks and hoe's are found in the same backyard tool shed and the image of him shaking a pitch fork is nearly as good as him shaking the hoe. I would have liked to have been a fly on the backyard fence as Stix was trying to decide what gardening tool to shake at the Feds……
STRIKE ONE on the new commissioner. If he backs the Dink Hitter rule for the NL that will be strike four and time for torches and pitchforks.

In the 17 years that I've been in the IT industry I've noticed an energy pattern that keeps popping up in my life. At first I thought it was just me but recently I decided to research into it a little further, as well as listening to the experiences of my colleagues. In doing so it has made me realise that one of the major reasons I want to leave the IT industry is due to the excessive amounts of electrostress in the work place.
I've found that in the same way that drinking caffeine in the evenings can affect some people's ability to get to sleep, the computer and phone has the same affect for me. If I have to work late, or go on my home laptop after a long day in front of a computer at work, I find it harder to get my mind to wind down at night. I enter what I used to call a 'manic phase' that agitates my mind with lots of thoughts rushing around in my head, reminding me of lists of things that need to get done, or going over projects I'm invested in, or random thoughts that I just can't shut out. This makes drifting off to sleep almost impossible.
Most people I know would compensate the lost sleep and lack of concentration by drinking coffee or energy drinks. I choose to give up caffeine in 2005 for health reasons. My doctor diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia when I burned out after being in the IT industry for 5-6 years . At the time they said that theories suggested that the symptoms of Fibromyalgia maybe due to the effects of not being able to reset the nervous system each night. This occurs because of an increase in sensitivity to light and noise, which then disturbs deep sleep – and over a prolonged period of time it creates a viscous cycle. The nervous system gets more sensitive due to a lack of sleep and the sleep is more disturbed due to being so sensitive. The only way to break this cycle is to improve the quality of sleep. So anything that overstimulated the nerves in any way, such as caffeine, only would make matters worse. Now this condition is more complicated than this, and I understand that research is changing opinion on this all the time, but the idea that sleep effected the nervous system like that did resonate with my situation.
More recently I wondered if being an empath also made me extra sensitive to all the electronic frequencies emitted by laptops, monitors, mobile phones, Bluetooth and WiFi. For work I'm in front of the computer at least 7.5 hours a day five days a week, in a building that has dozens of WiFi options. I might use my phone whilst commuting, surrounded by hundreds of other people's phones and laptops. Even though I live in the countryside, my small living room (close to our smart meter) has a TV, two computers, WiFi, 2 mobile phones and a tablet. We have a power line and mobile mast rather close too. I am swimming in electronic interference – could this be why my nervous system gets over stimulated and I can't sleep at night? Could electrostress be the real problem here?
So I did a little digging. I found this chart showing the different brainwave frequencies, what effects it has on us, and what equipment transmits them. I could see that when I'm on the computer a lot I was getting into a high/hyper beta state, which is far from the low delta I needed to be in to get the restorative sleep for my nervous system to reset. It also states that Electrostress is a term recognised since at least 1969 and Wikionary defines it as: "…negative effects of electromagnetic fields on living beings". Chakra Healing Sounds reports that "Scientists estimate that our exposure to Electro-magnetic Fields (EMF) is 100 million times higher than it was 100 years ago". When these two snippets came to my attention I began to suspect why I had recently made certain changes in my life.
In 2016 I had to prune back on personal projects, so that I could spend as much of my spare time and holidays away from the computer as possible. I've had to use this time to unplug in the natural surrounding I'm lucky enough to live in. Sometimes it takes me a few days for my mind to settle down into a more relaxed mode of being, as well as to get back up again into the fast pace of the city when I return to work.
I've known for a long time that the act of being in front of the computer was distressing to me as my ability to concentrate on complicated projects has been a skill that has been declining over the years instead of improving. Not because I'm incapable, but because of the effort it takes to hold complex systems in my mind for prolonged periods of time in a distracting environment that I now know is bombarded with electronic frequencies. Add my empathic abilities and general sensitivity into the mix and it's little wonder why I've had the issues I've had.
During my research I happened to find some companies that provide protective devices against EMFs to reduce electrostress. Realising that these things existed made me consider how nice it would be to create a space that people could come to unplug and detox from electrostress – and develop their psychic abilities free from interference. (So Source, if you are willing and able, I'll follow the way!)
Whether you consider yourself sensitive, intuitive, psychic, or none of the above if you live and work in a similar environment to me then maybe it's time to reassess how electrostress might be affecting your life. Here are a few resources to get you going:

So, yesterday was not a very positive day. I'd even say it was my most "not positive" day so far. Any of you that keep up with education and all the new policies and procedures in place might understand a little bit the difficulty in staying positive lately. Teacher evaluations/ratings, new retirement plan, new health plan (and paying more for both), combined with the lack of appreciation and respect for my profession had me feeling blue. Thinking about it all was only making me more negative as I processed it all. What to do? So I did what every other person who has a computer/smartphone and a pulse does.... I posted my status to Facebook. It said: "Positivity waning. Help." An electronic SOS.
That made me feel a little better.
Then I went for a long walk with my dog. Temperatures have been in the 70's, unseasonably warm so I took advantage of it. I thought positive thoughts as I walked. Thoughts like how many things I have in my life to be thankful for. I reminded myself how lucky I am to have a great family and friends. I watched as my dog bounded happily through the grass just grateful to be outside after a long day home alone. Enjoy the little things.
That made me feel a little better.
As I walked in the door, slightly bouyed by my walk, I caught site of it. My bag. From school. With all the "stuff" in it I needed to do/look at that night. Ugh. Lucky for me I had managed to shift my mood enough that I wasn't going to let that bag bring me down. If I get to it, I get to it, I told myself. If I don't, I don't. Yeah, right. My personality doesn't do well with that. If it's there, I need to get to it.
(Sigh). So, I slugged the bag over near the laptop and the TV, just in case I needed to Google something for school or catch a cooking show for a new recipe. And a quick check of Facebook wouldn't take up too much time. How wonderful that in the short time I was out, several people had sent upbeat, positive messages to me. They assured me it would get better and to "hang in there" and all that rah-rah stuff.
That made me feel better.
When my husband got home from work, he was in a very positive mood. Which, if any of you know him you know that's pretty much the norm for him. He talked about his day at work and how he'll be taking on some new responsibilities that he's looking forward to. I was very happy for him.
That made me feel better.
My daughter called later that night to see how my day was. Of course she had read my Facebook status and kindly invited me to come visit her in Chicago and she'd help cheer me up.
That really made me feel better. (And I'm sure I'll take her up on that soon.)
I awoke today and convinced myself that today was going to be much more positive. A new day full of new experiences.
At school, I stopped by the office to check my mail. And this is what I found.
Today after school, I passed by a parent and one of my students. The parent was looking in their child's backpack to make sure he had his homework and had written in his planner. (He had both.) As she reached over to hug her son, I said hello to her and she smiled and thanked me.
"For what?" I asked.
She had tears in her eyes. "For helping [insert student name] with this."
"You're welcome," I replied. "But HE did it. He comes in every day and does what he needs to do. I don't even have to remind him. He's having a great year!"
"Can I hug you?" she asked.
I'll be honest with you, June seems like a long way away at this point. Especially when I have vowed to stay positive and help others around me. With only two months under my belt, I'm not 100% sure I'm gonna make it. But this time you all helped me.
The Beatles said it best: I get by with a little help from my friends.
Thank you friends.

Seal Coating
One of the most common treatments known to private sectors with respect to pavement preservation is seal coating. While seal coating is not used on cities and county roads, a good seal coating program is an effective way to preserve the aging asphalt infrastructure of industrial, commercial, and retail property owners.
Typically, a private sector property owner will seal coat their parking lots after 12-15 years of the original pavement oxidizing. At this time, a pavement evaluation should be performed to determine if some areas of deep patching should be done at this time. In addition to deep patching, the owner should figure on using some amount of crack treatment to ensure that surface water does not continue to migrate into the underlying sub-base.
There are asphalt based sealers and coal tar sealers. In either case, polymer modification does aid in the life expectancy of the sealing product. It is imperative that the owner understand if the contractor is putting 1, 2, or 3 coats of sealant on the property and more importantly that the dilution ratio specified is strictly adhered to.

We're big fans of streaming workouts at home. And every once in a while, we like to add a new one to the mix.
Meet Rachel Brathen, our new favorite yoga instructor.
We first got hooked on her Instagram photos (most of which are taken at her home in Aruba). Then we discovered her sets of 20-minute yoga videos--just download ($25 each) and watch whenever. The Find Your Purpose collection focuses on yoga to begin or end your day, and the Release and Let Go series will have you zeroing in on your core, your neck and shoulders or other areas of weakness or stress.
Along with her newly published book, we're happy to welcome more of Brathen into our lives. And who knows? If we practice yoga every day, too, maybe we'll get to move to Aruba.

Tentative dates have been set for votes on the missile defense bills we wrote about in a previous alert. Please contact your Senators and Representatives to urge them to oppose these bills if you have not done so already.
*The Senate is expected to vote on the Cochran-Inouye bill as early as late today (Thursday, March 11), but probably in the next few days.
*The House is currently scheduled to vote on the Weldon-Spratt bill next Thursday, March 18.
We have included below is the information we sent you previously about the bills.
Thanks for your help and involvement! Please let us know if you have contacted your representatives.
Oppose National Missile Defense Deployment
ACTION: Contact your Senators and Representatives and urge them to oppose bills endorsing National Missile Defense deployment. Votes are expected soon in both houses, probably during the first week of March. Congressional offices can be reached through the switchboard at 202-225-3121.
LEGISLATIVE SITUATION: SENATE: On February 10, the Senate Armed Services Committee voted 12 to 7 for the Cochran-Inouye bill (S.257) endorsing National Missile Defense deployment as soon as technologically possible. The Cochran-Inouye bill--the National Missile Defense Act of 1999--is identical to the one that the Senate turned back twice in 1998 by identical 59 to 41 margins (60 votes were needed to bring up the measure).
Key undecided Senators: Bayh (Indiana), Edwards (NC), Feinstein (California), Graham (Florida), Kohl (Wisconsin) Landrieu (Louisiana), Lieberman (Connecticut), Chafee (Rhode Island) Jeffords (Vermont)
HOUSE: Reps. Weldon (R-PA) and Spratt (D-SC) have introduced H.R. 4 with about 60 sponsors from both parties stating "That it is the policy of the United States to deploy a national missile defense system." The measure was introduced in 1998, but never voted on.
Swing list: There is no House swing list, but all Members should hear from you in opposition to the measure.
BACKGROUND: While the Clinton Administration has not yet endorsed National Missile Defense deployment, it is moving closer in that direction. In early February, Defense Secretary Cohen added $6.6 billion to the Pentagon's 6-year budget plan, bringing spending on National Missile Defense over that period of time to $10.5 billion (there is significantly more spending for shorter- range missile defense systems as well). Cohen promised a deployment decision as early as June 2000.
Nevertheless, the administration has announced that it opposes the Cochran bill because it ignores other important deployment criteria--such as cost and the effect on relations with Russia--and will veto it if necessary.
Almost all Republicans have endorsed National Missile Defense as an article of faith.
Call today! And please send us a message telling us who you have contacted.
Below are talking points for the Cochran bill. The issues raised by the Weldon-Spratt bill are nearly identical.
The Cochran-Inouye Missile Defense Bill
The Cochran-Inouye Bill (the National Missile Defense Act of 1999) states that "It is the policy of the United States to deploy as soon as is technologically possible an effective National Missile Defense system capable of defending the territory of the United States against limited ballistic missile attack (whether accidental, unauthorized, or deliberate)." Last May and September, this bill was defeated in cloture votes by 59 to 41.
* The Cochran-Inouye bill is unnecessary. The bill will not bring about earlier deployment of a national missile defense. The United States is already proceeding as fast as it can with development and testing. The administration has now dedicated $10.5 billion to permit deployment of a national missile defense by 2005 or sooner, if possible. The administration will make a deployment decision next summer, after key systems tests have been conducted.
* The Cochran-Inouye bill oversimplifies the missile defense equation. The bill would require the United States to deploy a national missile defense as soon as is technologically possible, regardless of its effectiveness, expense, and impact on the US-Russian nuclear arms reduction process. These are important considerations that must be factored into any deployment decision.
* The Cochran-Inouye bill mandates deployment of a defense regardless of the security costs. The bill would require deployment even if the net security costs outweigh the security benefits, as appears to be the case. Russia has made it clear that US deployment of national missile defenses would derail Russian nuclear reductions under the START agreements. Perversely, the bill would thus block those steps that would be most effective in reducing the missile threat to the United States--very deep reductions in Russia's nuclear arsenal. Moreover, US deployment could actually increase the chance of accidental or unauthorized attacks by inducing Russia to rely more on launch- on-warning of its nuclear forces to preserve its deterrent.
In addition, China, whose arsenal currently includes only some two dozen long-range missiles, has said it would seek to upgrade its nuclear arsenal in the face of US defenses.
* The Cochran-Inouye bill mandates deployment of a defense regardless of its effectiveness. The bill says nothing about the performance requirements of the system to be deployed, and opens the door to deployment of a system that may be "technologically" ready against well-behaved test missiles but that could not intercept real-world missiles.
* The Cochran-Inouye bill mandates deployment of a defense that is not even designed to protect against most types of missile threats. A national missile defense is completely unable to address several of the missile threats that would be most likely to emerge from hostile nations. For example, short-range missiles--which are much easier to build than long-range missiles--launched from off-shore boats would land so quickly that the defense would have no time to intercept them. A national missile defense is also not designed to protect against missiles carrying chemical or biological weapons, which are relatively cheap and easy to obtain. Each warhead could be divided into hundreds of simple bomblets to disperse the chemical or biological agents. This many targets would simply overwhelm a US national missile defense, which will start with 20 interceptors and maybe build up to 200.
* The Cochran-Inouye bill mandates deployment of a defense that cannot work against real-world missile threats. The one threat the system is designed against is a long-range missile carrying a single warhead--perhaps a nuclear weapon. But we have to assume that a nation capable of launching a long-range missile at US territory is also capable of the much simpler task of confusing or evading the defense and that, having acquired missiles, it would be motivated to do so. As the old adage goes, "occasionally it is necessary to take the enemy into account." One relatively simple approach would be to hide the incoming warhead in a mylar balloon, and then release numerous identical balloons along with it. The defense would be unable to find the real warhead, and would run out of interceptors by trying to shoot at all the balloons.
Despite decades of research, dealing with such countermeasures remains the key unsolved--and likely unsolvable--problem facing missile defenses.
* The Cochran-Inouye bill mandates deployment regardless of the real nature of the emerging threat to the United States. States seeking to attack the United States with weapons of mass destruction have at their disposal more effective ways of delivery-- namely, by terrorist-type attacks such as truck-bombs, suitcase- bombs or weapons brought into a harbor by ship. Moreover, while launching a long-range missile makes it clear who the attacker is, using these other means of covert delivery can help avoid retaliation. It makes no sense to mandate deployment of a system to shoot down missiles when the real emerging threat is likely to be from other means of delivery, especially if deployment would block deep cuts in Russian nuclear weapons.
* The Cochran-Inouye bill sends the wrong message to Russia about renegotiating the ABM Treaty. Deploying a national missile defense system would require renegotiating the ABM Treaty--or else withdrawing from it unilaterally, which would seriously harm relations with Russia. Passing the Cochran-Inouye bill now sends a message to Russia that the United States sees the ABM Treaty as irrelevant and would simply withdraw from the treaty if negotiations prove difficult. It sends a message that the United States is unwilling to negotiate in good faith and to take Russian security concerns into account, thus sabotaging any negotiations before they even start.

The device was launched in front of thousands of people at its Unpacked 5′ event in Barcelona on February 24, which was the opening evening of this year's Mobile World Congress.
The Galaxy S5 is powered by a 2.5GHz processor and will ship with the Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS. It has a 5.1-inch HD screen, 16megapixel rear camera, two megapixel front camera and HD video playback and recording capability.
It is IP67 dust and water resistant. This means it is 'dust tight' and can be immersed in up to one metre of water for up to 30 minutes. It has 2GB of RAM and 16GB or 32GB of internal memory that can be expanded by 128GB with a microSD card. Also included is a personal fitness tracker, pedometer, diet and exercise records and heart rate monitor.
Samsung UK and Ireland VP of IT and Mobile division Simon Stanford said: "We wanted to give our customers in the UK the chance to get their hands on the next generation of our Galaxy S smartphone as soon as possible by giving them the option to pre-order."

Community leaders today said they had been left "speechless" by alarming speeding figures uncovered by the Evening Post.
The fastest speed snapped by a camera was 126mph in the 30mph zone on Garstang Road, Fulwood.
The incident, which was recorded at 3.57am on May 29, 2011, was revealed as part of a Freedom of Information request, covering the last five years, to Lancashire Constabulary
Other excessive speeds include 108mph on a 30mph stretch of Blackpool Road near Larches Avenue, and 100mph in Southport New Road, Tarleton – double the limit.
College ward Coun Bobby Cartwright said: "I'm mortified to find this out. What lunatic goes on an A road at that speed? It's frightening."
Larches Coun Mark Yates, said he was "speechless" over the 100mph speed on Blackpool Road, recorded at 11.15pm on May 30, 2011.
He said: "I can't believe it. Most people are well aware of the speed limit on Blackpool Road, and the fact that there are speed cameras. It's reckless, even at that time of night. There are still people around after a night out, and there's always other road users.
"There's a lot of lights around there too, and I don't think you'd be able to stop even if you saw they were on red from a long way away."
Neil Greig, director of policy and research for the Insitute of Advanced Motorists (IAM), said: "There are no roads in the whole of England that are designed for these kinds of speeds. Even motorways aren't capable of being safe at speeds of 126mph. There are sight lines and curves. It's dangerous driving, nothing less. Other road users won't be expecting those kind of speeds. It's suicidal."
He added: "What's even more stupid and more worrying is that it's been done past a speed camera. I'm very pleased that they've been caught, but I'm shocked that they've paid no attention to it.
"Speed cameras are only installed in locations were there are already road safety and speed issues. Luckily these kinds of speeds are very unusual, and speed cameras usually work very well at slowing traffic down in key locations."
Chief Insp Debbie Howard from Lancashire police, who is in charge of road policing, said the force is committed to making highways safer.
She said: "Making Lancashire's roads safer is a priority for us and we are committed to reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on Lancashire's roads by working with our partners and constantly bringing in new ideas and focusing on how we can make the biggest improvements in safety with the resources available.
"It is recognised that by reducing motorists' average speed there is a clear link to a reduction in both the number and severity of road casualties.
"Most collisions in the county are linked to driver errors and behaviour and what we term the 'Fatal Four' which is speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, using a mobile phone while driving or driving under the influence of alcohol."
The inspector added: "Lancashire Constabulary offers speed awareness courses for drivers stopped for speeding offences, plus driver alertness and a specific motorcycle course.
"Over the past 18 months three new nationally developed and accredited driver education courses have also been offered to Lancashire motorists as an alternative to prosecution for driving while using a mobile phone, negligent use of traffic conditions or pedestrian rights and failure to wear a seat belt.
"By offering these new educational courses, Lancashire Constabulary hopes to achieve a long-term change in driver behaviour and a subsequent reduction in road casualties. Over 25,000 people took part in them last year and we have received some excellent feedback.
"We have activity throughout the year that is dedicated to tackling these issues and we will continue to work with other agencies to educate road users about staying safe on the roads and enforce legislation.
"This includes educating thousands of children in cycling and pedestrian safety."

Seattle's maritime history and the waterfront's proximity prompted the artist to imagine Suyama Space as a bridge between the built environment and the natural world. At play was her impulse to bring the Northwest coast's watery landscape into the deep, wooded chamber. Walking into the gallery, the viewer experiences a silhouetted wave in space that gives way to a sensory perception of frothy rows of waves. Viewed from either end of the gallery, the rows of hot-glue strands appear as receding horizontal waves of geometric abstraction. Catalogue, essay by Robin Updike.

Japan Underground @ Hyper Japan! (From 22-24 July)
4 July, 2011 Leave a comment
Japan Underground makes a return to the convention circuit, this time with a booth at Hyper Japan, the UK's biggest J-culture party! Taking place from Friday 22-24 July at Kensington's Olympia Two (click here for a map), the event showcases the very best Japan has to offer in terms of cuisine, culture and darn right coolness. Just some of the things on offer which we're personally excited about include the official UK Sushi Awards (we like our food!), award winning manzai comedy from Japanese duo JaruJaru, fashion from the likes of lolita brands Baby, the Stars Shine Bright and Alice and the Pirates and the first UK performance from Kanon Wakeshima, the multi talented music prodigy produced from visual kei visionary Mana!
We'll be there with our booth selling Japanese music singles, albums, EPs, DVDs, Tshirts and magazines – come by and have a browse, or just a chat about music from Japan! Plus! We're very honoured to have been asked to join the panel for the Kanon Wakeshima Talk Show on Friday, and to conduct the interview with Kanon live on stage throughout the weekend. Very exciting stuff! See you all there!
You can read Tom Smith's feature (Japan Underground's founder and resident DJ) on Kanon Wakeshima on the Manga UK blog. Our booth will also sell the very special charity EP Mother, featuring Jpop stars Naomi Suzuki, Ayako Nakanomori, Mari Natsuki and Yuki Koyanagi from our recent charity concert Japan, We've Not Forgotten You in London. All proceeds from the CD will go to charity.

Tonight was "The Comedy of Errors" broadcast from the National Theatre in London with the hilarious Lenny Henry in the lead role of Antipholus of Syracuse. So much fun! Loved the frenetic finger snaps whenever The Syracuse duo became spooked and the Romany minstrels playing Tears for Fears and other great Brit bands between scenes.
Even though this is an early comedy of William Shakespeare and could be considered "frothy", the director found a way to bring issues forward and create touching moments in the reunion of the family.
A fun night out and I am excited about upcoming shows - including a double rescreening of Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Miller swapping the two lead roles on alternate nights.
Enjoy this promotional clip!

3D printer – speeds up to 100mm/hr
3D Systemshttp://www.3dsystems.com
Rock Hill, South Carolina – 3D Systems' Figure 4 Standalone 3D printer enables same-day functional prototyping iteration and low volume production at speeds up to 100mm/hour while delivering Six Sigma repeatability. The statistical result is stated as Cpk >2, where Cpk is the process capacity index.
"The combination of speed and accuracy complemented by a light-based UV curing process, which takes minutes versus hours required by heat-based curing processes, enables ultra-fast throughput and time-to-part," says Phil Schultz, senior vice president, general manager, on demand manufacturing and plastics, 3D Systems.
Materials developed to work with the Figure 4 Standalone 3D printer, enabling the creation of parts for rapid design iteration, functional prototypes, and low volume production with durability, elasticity, and functionality include:
Figure 4 TOUGH-GRY 10 – High-speed material for rapid design iterations providing up to 100mm/hr build speed
Figure 4 TOUGH-GRY 15 – Strong, rigid material for production applications
Figure 4 ELAST-BLK – Elastomeric black material for iteration and design verification of flexible parts
Figure 4 JCAST-GRN – Castable, green material optimized for investment casting of jewelry patterns
3D Sprint advanced software for preparation, editing, printing, and management, is included with the Figure 4 Standalone system.
Plans are to integrate 3D Connect into the Figure 4 platform. 3D Connect is a cloud-based software solution that includes two modules:
3D Connect Service – For remote diagnostics
3D Connect Manage – For fleet management.
Figure 4 Standalone is one available configuration in the Figure 4 portfolio. Figure 4 is design in configurable units for scalability, enabling manufacturing capacity to grow alongside demand in the customer's environment. Manufacturers can grow with the technology from Figure 4 Standalone for rapid prototyping and low volume direct 3D production, to Figure 4 Modular that scales as parts demand grows, up to Figure 4 Production for a fully-automated, fully-integrated factory solution.
What are the biggest challenges you see the medical device manufacturing industry facing in 2019?
- Ability to invest in technology
- Access to capital/credit/financing
- Changing regulatory environment
- Increased market competition
- New product development
- Pricing pressures
- Retaining/growing a skilled workforce

If your back is host to athick forest of dark and wiry hair, then you probably have all but given up on having smooth, hairless skin. Shaving requires an impossible twist to reach your whole back, so even after hours of shaving you're still left with unsightly patches of hair. Your other choice of waxing has proven to be a painful process that leaves your skin red and irritated. While you rightly have cause to avoid these methods, a smooth back free of unwanted hair can still be in your future with laser hair removal.
Let's face it—having unwanted hair in an obvious place like your back can make you miserable. It can stop you from donning your swim trunks and relaxing at the beach, or it can be as serious as preventing you from being intimate with your partner. Whatever it means to you, unwanted back hair can be a detriment to your self-confidence and self-worth. That's why it's so important to treat yourself to laser hair removal treatments to have you looking the way you want. The better you look, the better you'll feel, and your good mood will infuse all aspects of your life.
Laser hair removal can help you achieve your best self with a safe, fast, and painless procedure. The state-of-the-art laser will target your hair follicle, and its heat will disrupt the normal production of hair. At first, it will damage the follicle so that it can't grow hair as fast or as thick as it once did. After several treatments, you'll find that your follicle can't produce hair at all—and you'll be free of unwanted hair forever! To see just how effective laser hair removal can be, check out the before and after results from Hairfree Clinics. Even the dark, wiry hair shown in the 'before' pics are no match against the strength of this procedure.
Though strong, since its procedure doesn't include the use of messy, hot waxes or caustic lotions that need time to burn away at your hair, laser treatments are a quick and easy way to get rid of unwanted hair. It won't take a whole day, nor will it irritate your skin. You'll soon find out that you can easily fit your appointments in at part of your day, whether it's before or after work or even during your lunch break.
Laser hair removal doesn't just have to be for backs. Since the treatments are safe and effective, you can target hair anywhere on your body. Trained and certified technicians can also use the advanced laser to treat hair on your underarms, bikini line, legs, shoulders, and upper lip. Having smooth, hair free skin can be as simple as scheduling a consultation with a skin expert who will devise the perfect treatment regime that's ideal for your hair and skin type.Laser hair removal is a quick and effective way to remove unwanted hair from anywhere on your body, including your back.

Unfortunately, DCS, Inc. received notification of a denied Unum claim resulting from a phone call between a Unum physician and a treating physician. Although I've written about this subject many, many times there are still insureds and claimants who underestimate the clever persuasiveness of Unum's doctors who call treating physicians with the agenda of obtaining an agreement about work capacity.
One of the many strategies of Unum's internal docs is to place calls to treating physicians during the busiest time of the day and hammer them about returning patients to work. The phone conversation is backed up with a fax "confirmation of our conversation" which is NEVER an accurate account of what was actually said. The "stacking of the deck" by doc-to-doc calls is one of Unum's most successful "risk management" activities and their internal physicians are quite good at intimidating other doctors and convincing them their opinions are the more accurate.
Further, treating physicians are in the business of providing patient care, not handling Unum's harassment on a daily basis. Most physicians just want to make the problem of Unum doc's calls "just go away" and many respond without even pulling the patient file for reference.
Mostly, however, when a treating physician throws his/her patient under the bus, it is usually because there has not been a frank conversation between physician and patient as to how phone calls from insurers are to be handled. Every insured and claimant in this country with a Unum claim should be scheduling an appointment with their physicians to discuss the possibility of getting calls from insurance physicians who have a deliberate agenda of denying claims.
What is really interesting is that during conversations I've had with the denied claimants, they often defend their treating physicians, "I know it wasn't Dr. Smith's fault, it was all Unum convincing him what to say", "Or, I'm sure Unum's physicians harassed him, that's why he said what he said." While I somewhat agree with that, I am equally convinced physicians DO know how to say "NO" to insurance companies as well.
First of all, treating physicians should not be speaking to insurance physicians on the phone due to the possible liability lawsuits and HIPPA regulations concerning electronic transmission of patient information. I would have thought physicians might feel "safer" asking for written inquires and responding only in writing. Physicians have been known to document inaccurate information in patient files; isn't it reasonable to assume miscommunication of work capacity under duress could also take place? Unum's docs are counting on that, actually.
Once again, I urgently suggest to all insureds and claimants that they make appointments with their treating physicians and have the ever-important conversation about whether or not to give permission for your doctor to speak with insurance physicians on the phone. These conversations never work out successfully for insureds.
It's also important to discuss your work capacity, or lack of it, with your doctor since some physician's are reluctant to reveal what "they really think" until they get a call from a Unum physician.
Finally, once a treating physician goes on the record by agreeing with a Unum physician, he/she cannot change that position on appeal. Physicians have a tendency to not want to look like an idiot after taking a "return to work position" previously. This limits the options insureds have on appeal to support their continued disability medically.
Unum insureds and claimants need to understand very clearly that this insurance company will do anything – strategize, coerce, harass, cajole, bully, demand, snatch, damage reputations, misrepresent, and collect what you do not owe, in order to profit by denying claims.
Please believe me when I suggest that you have nothing better to do than to meet with your treating physicians and discuss how you wish phone calls from Unum to be handled. Your claim may depend on it. Unum would not continue to make these calls if they weren't profitable.

Congress and the White House are clashing over the federal budget. Congress is considering serious cuts in funding for all public broadcasting. Since January, three bills have been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives to cut or eliminate the $430 million currently allocated for the Corporation For Public Broadcasting (CBP). Pending a vote in congress this week, the Public Broadcasting System (PBS), considered by the public to be the second-best use of taxpayer dollars (outranked only by defense spending [1]), could cease to exist.

ECHO PARK — It's been a challenge this year to keep up with the comings and goings at the neighborhood's restaurants and bars, and more changes are in the works, with new owners emerging for the shuttered Allumette, an expansion planned for Lot 1 Cafe and the owners of a Glendale Boulevard building seeking a restaurant tenant. Here's a run down of some of the changes:
- Allumette – the high-concept, high-priced restaurant – closed only a month ago but a new owner has already claimed the Echo Park Avenue space. The state's Alcoholic Beverage Control Department has received an application to transfer the Allumette liquor license to new owners who plan to operate under the name "The Holloway," according to online records. More details are coming soon about what the new owners have planned.
- Around the corner on Sunset Boulevard at Laveta Terrace, Lot 1 Cafe is planning to expand into adjacent storefronts and is also seeking to sell a full-line of alcoholic beverages. Since opening during the depths of the recession, Lot 1 has added live musical performances, late hours as well as a weekend brunch. Now, owner Eileen Leslie has requested city permission for the expansion, which includes a larger kitchen, more seating and the ability to serve a full-line of alcoholic beverages (it can currently serve beer and wine).
- Over on Glendale Boulevard next to the KFC, the owners of a brick building north of Montana Street are seeking permission to allow a future tenant to serve a full line of alcoholic drinks as part of a restaurant, according to online city records. The same 2,200-square-foot building is now being marketed for lease on LoopNet, with an asking monthly rent of more than $5,000 a month.

Electricity makes up half of New School energy needs, yet it generates a disproportionately large proportion (two thirds) of total carbon emissions. Our mitigation efforts focus primarily on upgrading or replacing existing building systems, improving operational procedures, and
rethinking the intersection of occupant behavior and our built environment.
New York City's climate is dominated by the winter, which causes building heat to be the largest single driver of building carbon emissions. Heat uses nearly 40 percent of the energy in most New School buildings — mostly in the form of oil and natural
gas combustion. Improvements are underway with ongoing system maintenance and conversions from oil to natural gas — which alone can reduce associated CO2emissions by 28 percent.
Air-conditioning accounts for a large part of campus electricity consumption and is a primary contributor to "peak" loads that strain the electricity grid during the hottest summer days. A new central chiller plant at the Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, another in the works at
Arnhold Hall, and other upgrades will help reduce electricity consumption.
Audiovisual equipment, computers, server rooms, and associated cooling requirements on campus consume 20 percent of all electricity used. With increasing computer and connectivity requirements, consumption will continue to rise if unaddressed.
A three-part plan is underway to reverse the trend:
Improving energy data granularity, quality, and accessibility allows for better management. Our
Sustainability Dashboard and
annual reporting provide updates, analysis, and real-time energy data. We are expanding the depth of campus metering systems throughout the dorms and mechanical systems.
Lighting accounts for nearly 30 percent of campus electricity consumption. While individual light fixtures may be insignificant, a single building may contain thousands of lamps, some of which must operate continuously for safety. LED lighting upgrades, occupancy, and daylight-based controls are a
primary focus of our energy efficiency plan.
Our campus is an ever-changing environment, and building systems must similarly adapt. Continuous optimization is a process that applies to all buildings and systems, new and old; it includes equipment commissioning, issue logging and tracking, analysis of building systems such as ice
storage and cogeneration in the
University Center, and energy audits in compliance with NYC's
Local Law 87.
Space heating and cooling can be generated more efficiently with new equipment, but less can be used in general with spaces that are well insulated. Our weatherization program focuses on exterior sealing, window films, and internal thermal barriers.
Staff, faculty, students, and the public all touch our campus in ways that affect the amount of energy it consumes. Our community's awareness and engagement can reduce our footprint in various dimensions. Building facility staff participate in annual energy efficiency
continuing education such as the USGBC's GPRO courses.
The New School participates in Con Edison's Demand Response program during summer months, helping to reduce electricity consumption and strain on the NYC electricity grid when called upon. We're also working to expand the depth and scope of sustainability standards — including those for new construction, cleaning,
and maintenance.

Last week my husband and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary and he bought me an Apple Watch. I really wasn't expecting it and I had wanted one for so long I walked round with a massive grin on my face all day. Now that I've had it for nearly a week and had some time to sit down and go through the apps I thought I would let you know what I am loving.
Now, obviously this app isn't a revelation. We've all used Insta on our phones, but, I love the feed on the watch. The photos just look amazing on the face and its so easy to scroll through and interact with the images. The only down side is that you can't comment actual text to posts, just emojis which obviously have their limitations.
I was surprised that the watch didn't already come with a calculator but this one came highly recommended by every article written about the Apple Watch that I have read. It is a converter and a tip calculator as well as a calculator so its a really useful app that kind of speaks for itself.
This one is fab. Not only does it translate into most languages (including Welsh which I was most excited about) it also allows you to use that app as a complication (clock module) so every time I look at my watch there is a useful phrase in my chosen language waiting for me. This will be great for traveling as you literally just talk to your watch and it will give you the translation back.
Traffic Monitor
This one is very good for everyone who is addicted to Pokémon as much as I am. Traffic Monitor tracks how much data you are using and how much you have left for the month. It also has a network speed test as a handy extra.
This is a lot like Memories on Facebook but combines all of your social networks and also the images that you have on your phone and desktop. So you won't just have the really embarrassing, pointless statuses you put up 5 years ago you will have the really embarrassing photos from Instagram and your phone to accompany them.
Do you have any app recommendations for the Apple Watch?

You could not have done better. Which proves to my opinon that you reach your highest artistic point depicting contemporary nowadays scenes, so to say a "story". You should do more in this way. As far as this one is concerned, I wait for the colouring!ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm not planning on colouring it - the advantage of this style is that it is a lot quicker than a full painting.
However, I love to come back and repaint things, so who knows.
Excellent work of art. Please tell a new story too or a sequelae of Robin. I know that I am being greedy and you are very busy but the heart wants more.ReplyDelete

Graduate Deans and Graduate Education: A National Study.
Lynch, David M.; Bowker, Lee H.
The responsibility for graduate education and the power and authority structure among graduate deans, college or school deans, departments, and faculty were studied using a sample of 338 schools. Attention was directed to the following concerns: institutional characteristics that are related to the organization and administration of graduate education; the professional backgrounds, attitudes, and activities of graduate deans; factors that influence graduate faculty and graduate teaching; and the impact of affiliation with the Council of Graduate Schools. Specific areas of study included: graduate program evaluation, graduate school control of academic processes, the availability of institutional funds in 14 areas necessary to quality education; support for grants acquisition; the personal backgrounds of graduate deans; job structure and responsibilities of deans; the evaluation of graduate deans; faculty advisory committees; satisfactions and frustrations of the graduate deanship; the structural position of teaching in American graduate education (teaching loads, tenure, resource allocation, merit salary); and correlates of unionization. Together with narrative analyses, 47 statistical tables are provided. (SW)

A long day walking through the masterpieces of Florence and you're still not tired? The bed is far from your main thinking? Ok. Let's go discover the main places to pass your night in Florence. To make the thing easy, I suggest you only three big blocks. Click here to see the map.
Visualizza NIGHTLIFE IN FLORENCE in una mappa di dimensioni maggiori
The movida in Florence is here. A long street full of pubs, disco-pub, lounge bar, every kind of place to meet people, drink, and stay outside up late.
Age around 18-35. People from everywhere in the world, many students, and young travelers.
To get there take the street between Palazzo Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery (Via della Ninna, then Via dei Neri) and go straight. Or, from the Duomo, take Via Dell'Oriuolo and straight.
Passed Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge), you come in Oltrarno, the other side of Florence. Here is a different mood. Here is the place of Florentine people, a very pretty neighborhood with nice cafès, bar, restaurants and frequented especially by actors, artists, writers or conoisseurs and art lovers. The age is between 25 and 45.
Near Santo Spirito square are other little squares such as Piazza della Passera and the quarter of San Frediano (where still lot of Florentine people live).
To get there, just pass Ponte Vecchio, go straight in Via De' Guicciardini, and turn right in one of the small streets. Or from Palazzo Strozzi, take Via De' Tornabuoni, pass the bridge then go straight.
Are you looking for the typical old Italian style? So, Republic Square fits you perfectly. This is the place for a quite, but amusing, late evening. With its large surface and the multicolored carousel, this square is right for families and child. Not only. With the huge arch and the elegant historical cafès on its two sides (Caffè Paszkowski, Caffè Le Giubbe Rosse, Caffè Gilli) Piazza della Repubblica is the favorite destination for who wants to remember the Dolce Vita (sweet life) and pay to stay in a place which was meeting point for many artists and writers in the past.
Near Piazza della Repubblica is also a Hard Rock Cafè and, passed the arch, Via de' Tornabuoni and Piazza Strozzi where you can find other nice places, such as Colle Bereto, the bar from where starts the Florentine night before the disco.
From the Duomo, take Via de' Calzaiuoli and turn right in Via Roma, then go straight.

Annual theme "Politcs of Emotion/Power of Affect"
Interdisciplinary Lecture Series (WS 2017/18)
28 November 2017
Structure of Emotion
with Keren Cytter
Keren Cytter was born in Tel Aviv, Israel and lives in New York. She studied art at the Avni Institute for Art in Tel Aviv and, with a scholarship, at De Ateliers in Amsterdam. Since then she has developed a large body of work including a number of films and video suites, theatrical plays, published three novels, and established D.I.E Now, a theatre company whose name stands for Dance International Europe. Her work often results in an elaborated display of emotions in human communication and relationships where the line between comic and tragic and between fiction and reality is blurred. Her work was already honoured with solo exhibitions worldwide, more recently at Pilar Corrias in London (Ocean, 2016), Mathew Gallery in New York (Panoramas, 2016), Künstlerhaus Halle für Kunst & Medien in Graz (Keren Cytter Selection, 2016) and Noga Gallery in Tel Aviv (Here and There, 2015). Furthermore, her work was included in group exhibitions, to name but the most recent ones – at Void Gallery in Derry, Northern Ireland (Nothing But Longing, 2017), Frankfurt Portikus (House of Commons, 2016), Kunsthalle Wien (Political Populism, 2015), Kunstpalais Erlangen (Affects, 2014), Museum Villa Stuck, Munich, (The Sting of the Scorpion, 2014) and in the 5th Marrakech Biennial (Where are we Now?, 2014).

One form was created in my free account and lives here http://www.uumilwaukee.org/room-reservation-form
The other was created with our paid uumke_ypc account and lives here
- raulAnswered on November 04, 2014 at 07:09 PM
Upon checking both forms. I found that the first one hosted on: http://www.uumilwaukee.org/room-reservation-form has an expiration date.
If you want to enable it again you need to set a future expiration date or leave this field blank.
Same goes for the second form hosted on http://www.uumilwaukee.org/form/are-producer-form:
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
- bpoquetteAnswered on November 05, 2014 at 01:55 PM
For each form, I've taken off the expiration date and saved the form. But both forms are still unavailable. We tried refreshing the page in our browsers and clearing the cache. Can you see any other problem? Do we have to re-embed the forms now? Hoping not because our web person is out until Monday. Thanks.
- JotForm SupportMike_TAnswered on November 05, 2014 at 03:04 PM
The forms were automatically disabled on the Expiration Date. You will also need to re-enable the forms from your My Forms page.
