Michael O'Neill will transform the Scotland team and the Scottish FA if he can be persuaded to leave Windsor Park for Hampden.
That's the verdict of the man who in 2011 surprised many by appointing O'Neill the Northern Ireland manager.
It proved to be the best football decision of former IFA president Jim Shaw's life with O'Neill inspiring the country to the Euro 2016 finals and a first major tournament in three decades.
The last time the Tartan Army enjoyed the big time was at France 98. The SFA are determined to end that pain and believe O'Neill is the best man to do it.
He has been their No.1 target since October when Gordon Strachan was sacked for failing to reach the World Cup play-offs, a feat achieved by O'Neill with Northern Ireland before being defeated by Switzerland in controversial circumstances.
Last week the SFA agreed to pay the IFA £500,000 in compensation stipulated in his current contract if they land O'Neill in order to hold talks with the former Dundee United and Hibs player, who would like his future resolved before the UEFA Nations League draw on January 24.
The IFA remain confident O'Neill will stay with them and accept their new six-year contract offer worth £4.5million, believing SFA chief executive Stewart Regan won't be able to convince the 48-year-old to leave his home nation and a job he loves.
While it is clear O'Neill is the main man for the SFA, when he applied to be Northern Ireland boss seven years ago he was the underdog in an interview process that also involved his former international team-mates Iain Dowie and Jim Magilton.
Former IFA president Shaw remembers how the then Shamrock Rovers boss O'Neill blew the panel away with his attention to detail and his ambitious plans, on and off the pitch.
Shaw said: "It's the only time I appointed a manager at that level. Michael was hugely impressive. He put across his theory and approach which was different to the other two (candidates) and he has done exactly what he said he would do in his presentation.
"He demonstrated how he would put the association in a position to qualify for a major tournament in terms, how he would manage people and how he would approach matches. It all worked.
"It wasn't just about the senior international team for Michael, he wanted to improve every aspect of the IFA and he's helped transform the organisation.
"He has gone right down into the bowels of the IFA and has had real influence with the concept of youth development and even the rationalisation of Irish League football where he wanted to see more youngsters being played and that has happened.
"The reason behind that was to develop more players capable of going to play in English and Scottish football who would hopefully progress to international football.
"His attention to detail is exceptional. I remember he started asking us to do things for players in terms of travel and when they were away from home that we hadn't been doing.
"Michael wanted everything to be right and satisfying the players in terms of accommodation and training facilities was very important to him. It was all part of his plan to get players buying into a system that was heading in the right direction.
"Michael is obviously a very good coach and is creative. He doesn't do sterile sessions. He's good at setting up a team and working out what should be done to keep players interested and keep them right physically and mentally but his biggest asset is man-management.
"He built up an incredible togetherness in the team and the country where everyone started to believe. Speaking as a supporter I would be extremely disappointed if he left because of what he has done and is likely to repeat with Northern Ireland but I certainly think Michael has the ability to make it work for Scotland.
"Like he has done with Northern Ireland, if he went to Scotland he would be looking at everything to do with football in the country from the youth through to the senior side.
"He's transformed the way things are done with Northern Ireland and he's so good at what he does I'm sure he could do it anywhere."
O'Neill had a poor start as Northern Ireland boss taking 10 games to earn his first win in charge. After an embarrassing 3-2 defeat in Luxembourg in his opening campaign, some IFA officials thought he wasn't up to the task but Shaw backed his man every step of the way.
He said: "I could see what he was doing with the players and behind the scenes.
"The logic in keeping him was I saw enough of what he was doing across the whole spectrum of Northern Ireland football. It just hadn't produced results at that time.
"Players were buying into what he was doing. We didn't have withdrawals which wasn't the case prior to Michael. You could see everything developing beneath the surface and then it took off. We haven't looked back since."

Sometimes a one-off Information Meeting with one of our specialist consultants is all that is needed.
Information Meetings allow parents to share their concerns and goals with their consultant and get the right advice to move forward. They can be particularly useful when families need additional information about the educational landscape and type of schools that are available, from country preps to urban day schools. This can be when they are moving house, relocating, or when they are seeking schools for their first child in their home patch and are finding the whole business confusing.
Once their questions have been answered, parents can then search for schools independently, or upgrade to one of our senior services if they would like further help from us. If they book the Premier School Consultancy, Global Premier School Consultancy and London services within two months, the cost of the information meeting is deducted. Please see Our Services for more detail.
Information Meetings can cover:
- a look at how different areas compare
- the applications and admissions process
- transferring from one school to another
- tutoring
- assessments
- schools for children with additional needs
- examinations
- how to compare specific schools where your child is already registered
- anything else!
The cost of a one-off Information Meeting lasting up to 90 minutes is £300. The education consultant's travel costs may also need to be added if the meeting is outside London or involves travel of more than one hour/20 miles.
NB The education consultant will be happy to answer all general questions during a one-off Information Meeting and can discuss schools with which you are registered or have visited. We do not recommend specific schools to you at these meetings. This is because all our school recommendations are tailored to individual children following in-depth research on your child and potential schools, and would form a part of a longer schools search service.
Contact us at: [email protected] or 0800 368 7694 (UK) or +44 203 286 6824 from overseas to speak to our administrator.

Bee suits prevent honey bee stings. A honey bee is able to sting a person or predator using its stinger, which is a part of the six segments of the abdomen. When a honey bee stings, its stinger, the poison sac and other parts of the bee's body are destroyed, killing the bee. Although the bee dies, its sting takes effect quickly because its barbs drive the venom deep into the victim's skin. If not removed quickly, the symptoms gradually increase. Professionals always wear a beesuit when working around bees.
Honey bee stings are known to be very painful, but the symptoms that result from a sting vary depending on the amount of poison that has entered the immune system of the victim. The initial pain eventually fades, but only after a period of swelling and itching. Some individuals may also experience visible signs, including redness of the skin around the sting. Although the sting of a honey bee is not commonly hazardous, some people may be allergic to the bee's venom and will experience such severe side-effects as nausea, fainting and, in extreme cases, death.
While a honey bee sting may appear mild, one should consider treatment immediately. One method of sting removal is to use a credit card or blunt knife to swipe the affected area of the skin clean. Venom may be removed within two to three minutes.
A cold compress can lessen the pain and ease the swelling and itch experienced after a honey bee sting. Creams containing skin coolants will also accomplish this. If redness persists, it is advisable to take an over-the-counter pain reliever or antihistamine in tablet form. If symptoms persist or worsen, or if a rash occurs, emergency medical services should be contacted.

Christ vs. Religion
If everyone truly realized how much Jesus truly loves them, I believe so many hearts and minds would change! .... Salvation is a free gift to us, but it is not cheap. It cost God His only begotten Son, who laid down His life for us. No one took it (John 10:18).
And don't get it twisted, satan does not mind religion. That's why there's plenty of them. The enemy has too many people convinced that they can just do good things and be nice people and that will get them into whatever version of "heaven" or "paradise" they believe in. But what satan gets upset about is one's real relationship with and life-change in Christ Jesus. If your "Christianity" doesn't involve striving to follow after Christ, but instead you're just following a bunch of religious rules, are you really a Christian?
Now I'm not saying you have to be a perfect Christian, for there is no such thing. We all have flaws. But what I am saying is that we need to make sure we have invited Christ in so that He can work on our hearts as we grow more and more in Him after true conversion has taken place. Christ does the perfecting over time as we grow over time.
Jesus, the True Light
Jesus came to live the life we could not live, to die the kind of death we should have died, to pay the debt we could not pay so we could have true life in and through Him.
God turned on the light so we don't have to live in darkness. Sometimes we think that by having more money, or by being with the right person, or by having the right job or position in life, that we can have our own light. But the flames of those things can go out and worse, they can burn us if things go awry. Only Jesus, the true Light, never goes out and He does not burn us. Everytime we try to create our own light, we put God-sized pressure on a man-made issue. God is not obligated to do anything for us. It is us who owes God the honor, the glory, and praise for what He has done, is doing now, and will do.
Got Enemies?
It says in Proverbs 16:7, "When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him."
The ones that were always giving you a hard time for no apparent reason but to spite you, will have to admit that because you have made up in your mind that you are going to live right for God because He truly is a "rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Heb. 11:6), that this God we serve is worth serving. He is worth chasing after. He is worth the suffering for a Kingom cause because our treasure is in the things of God. Oh, He is worth it! In fact, after a while, if your enemies come to their right senses, they will want to be like you. They will begin to realize that you, as a child of the living God, are so blessed because you have chosen to do the Lord's will; no matter how messed up things have gotten in your life. You have chosen to stay with the Lord because you know that the God that you serve is able and is willing to bring you up to where you ought to be. Your enemies will not want to be your enemies anymore because they will want to be as blessed as you are! Be encouraged!
Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
You cannot really seek God's kingdom--that is, God's way of doing things--the way God would have you to until you are born again. Jesus let Nicodemus know in John 3:3 that we cannot even "see" the kingdom unless we have been born again. When someone is born on earth, they are born into a certain natural citizenship. If you're born in America for example, then you are considered an American. You have American citizenship. So what does it really mean to be born again? It means you are born again spiritually, and you're citizenship is of the Kingdom of God. He is your King and you are one His subjects. He is a loving King and always has your best interests at heart. He rules from within our hearts to work His Kingdom business in the earth. When we seek God's kingdom, what is so great is that we don't have to worry about the things we need. God supplies all our needs. The Gentiles eagerly seek after things, but when we seek God, we get all that God wants us to have. So we don't even have to stress! So not only do we gain new citizenship when we are born again, but we also gain a new nature that helps us to be Christ-like as the Holy Spirit guides us into all truth (John 16:13).
Good Identification
Don't identify yourself by your problems, issues, and past sins/mistakes. Identify yourself by what God calls you. If you are in Christ, He calls you the head and not the tail and you are above, not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13). God says you are part of that chosen generation, you are part of a royal priesthood, you are part of a holy nation, you are a peculiar person, so that you should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9). You are blessed and not cursed! Know that you can approach God directly with freedom and confidence through faith in Jesus (Ephesians 3:12). Because you are in Christ, your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life! These are just some of the many things about which believers in Christ should remain excited. How awesome is that!
Use Time Wisely
Worrying about things you cannot control is a waste of time.
Feeling guilty and beating yourself down for messing up is a waste of time.
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" (Romans 8:1).
Trying to change what only God can change is a waste of time.
Complaining is a waste of time.
Being fearful is a waste of time.
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).
Playing the blame game is a waste of time.
Comparing yourself to others and wishing you could have whatever they have is a waste of time. You probably could not handle having some of the things other people have anyway.
Don't waste time. Use it wisely.
Salvation & Righteousness
You don't achieve salvation, you simply receive it. You receive it when you believe in Christ and trust Him to be your Savior and Lord. (Eph. 2:8,9). No amount of our own "good works" alone can make us good enough to get to enjoy spending eternity with our Creator, for we are sinful. But when we are born again in Christ, God does not see our sin, but He sees His Son [our lives are hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3)]. Good deeds have their place, but they do not impress God. Our own righteousness is as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). We need to have the righteousness of Christ imputed unto us (Romans 4). When we have the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, we are then pleasing to God.
We might mess up at times and sin as we deal with our flesh, but we should not condemn ourselves nor beat ourselves down. Moreover, we should not condemn others if we witness them falling short of the glory of God. If we truly have been made into new creations by God, then we are Christ's and He is ours. Nothing can change that and nothing can separate us from His love (Romans 8:31-39).
Money, Money, Money
How often do we hear people say, "Money is the root of all evil"? But that is not true. That is not biblical. The Bible lets us know that "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil..." (1 Timothy 6:10). Money itself is neutral. It can be used for good purposes or bad purposes. But it's the love of it that gets us into big trouble. Honor God with your money by tithing (bringing Him a tenth of each financial gain), giving it in offerings, and simply helping others. "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it" (Malachi 3:10). The storehouse was the temple to the Jews and that translates to the local churches for us today. And notice, we are to BRING God the tithe, not give it to Him. You can't give to someone whatever is already theirs. So since the money already belongs to God, we are to simply be good stewards over it, like managers in a sense.
The world "arubbah" in the Hebrew, from which we get "windows" in "windows of heaven" in Malachi 3:10 translates as "floodgates." So God wants to bless us by pouring out blessings from heavenly floodgates! Who wouldn't want that?? (But let's be careful and make sure that we are not trying to leverage our prayers or use God to get more money. Our focus should be on chasing after God and He will then provide Himself to meet our needs.)
And bringing the tithes and offerings to a local church is not about giving money "to the pastor" per se' ... it's about our hearts. Jesus has more parables in the Gospels about money and possessions than about anything else because He knows those things concern us. In Matthew 6:24, Jesus said, "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." "God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). Jesus addressed mammon in Matthew 6:24 because mammon is a spirit that causes people to desire money and material possessions instead of God. Tithing and giving cheerfully are acts of worship to God because you are honoring Him and not giving in to mammon. So the question is: Does God have your heart? ... Do you have money or does money have you?
#Affirmation I do not love money and use God. Instead, I love God and use money to honor Him.
What's On Your Mind?
A true change can come not because you change your geographical location, but because you change your mind about the situation you're in. The change for the prodigal son didn't occur when he left the hog pin. The change for him did not occur when he got new clothes to wear. The true change for the prodigal son occurred when he changed his mind about his situation. If the enemy can get you in your mind then he can get you to be stuck in a negative situation. Our minds are like steering wheels: we tend to go in the direction that we turn our minds. You have to get your mind focused on what God has promised you in His Word. Consider Romans 8:28.You have a real paradigm shift not from getting more money or material things, but from having your mind renewed by the Word of God.
Jesus: The Deliverer
Don't ever think that you are too low for Jesus to reach way down to pick you up. Jesus can reach us right where we are! We get up from a low place by letting Jesus pick us up. Won't you grab His loving hand? See we've got to let Christ in; He does not force Himself on us. Man can try to force his own rules and religion on people, but Jesus is not into forcing people. He is into loving people unconditionally. But even though Jesus loves people, He hates sin. Sin cannot stand in His presence. That's why we need to be washed in the blood of Jesus. Jesus died in our place to nail our sins and the ordinances that were against us to the Cross (Colossians 2:13-15).
Yeshua was a common alternative form of the name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ ("Yehoshuah" – Joshua) in later books of the Hebrew Bible and among Jews of the Second Temple period. The name corresponds to the Greek spelling Iesous, from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus. The biblical meaning of the name Joshua is: A savior; a deliverer. Jesus came to deliver us FROM sin and to bring us TO God. Sin brings about shame and guilt and eventually death. Christ offers true life and peace in Him.

I just want to encourage and inspire as many people as I can for Jesus Christ.

Thanks to our medical, educational, and technological expertise, we have developed solutions which have already enabled the training of more than 40,000 health professionals across the world.
SimforHealth is recognized by BPI France as one of the 2,000 most innovative companies in France (BPI Excellence 2016), is ranked 256th in the 2014 European Deloitte In Extenso Technology Fast 500 (fastest-growing companies over the last 5 years), and raised 5 million euros in May 2016 to speed up its development.
Our mission
Convinced that digital simulation can improve the care of patients, SimforHealth creates and markets customized solutions for digital simulation teaching, aimed at medical students and at health professionals in continuing education.
Our solutions help with patient management via virtual consultations, which rely on a range of methods and technologies including 3D real-time simulators, serious games, virtual reality, mixed or augmented reality. Working alongside health education establishments, our company is thus developing immersive, interactive and collaborative teaching tools.
Working alongside health education establishments, our company is thus developing immersive, interactive and collaborative teaching tools.
Our vision
The medical excellence to which our doctors aspire is not innate. It is only by being faced with a situation, at least virtually, that one can learn.
Being stimulated in one's learning by a virtual patient and by questions, allows learning to be more active, more fun, and easier to memorize. Sharing facts and ideas advances everyone's knowledge.
At the cross-roads of all these principles, digital simulation is, for SimforHealth, the missing link between theory and practice, and is a complementary learning method which should find its place in both initial and continuing training programs.
SimforHealth wishes therefore to be the partner of choice for healthcare stakeholders, to build with them the future of training via digital simulation.
Our philosophy and our values
"Never the first time with the patient",
is the motto at the entrance to the Boston Center for Medical Simulation, on which SimforHealth bases its developmental philosophy, so that a patient can be cared for by health professionals who are perfectly trained.
Respect is also a value which drives our teams. Beyond an open and attentive attitude, respect of others is about keeping one's commitments to them in the long-term, whether it is a member of staff, a partner or a client.
Just as we help students and health professionals, through our training solutions, to aspire to excellence in their profession, so with our staff, we encourage the desire to excel by giving them the means to develop their expertise to reach the medical, educational and technological standards which our sector demands.
Our company is composed of educational and medical experts to provide a better understanding of health training needs, as well as software engineers specialized in 3D to recreate realistic clinical practice conditions.
Sharing of knowledge
We think that all discoveries and new facts should be shared and offered to the community for critical comment and debate, in order to advance the body of knowledge. To that end, we design training solutions which aim to be collaborative so as to increase knowledge exchange on an international level and encourage the professional development of our doctors.
Our methods of in-house working are themselves collaborative and rely on the sharing of everyone's knowledge and experience to arrive together at the best solutions.
Our Research and Development Department is constantly thinking about ways to use the new technologies to provide more immersive and realistic training in healthcare. In this way, SimforHealth is collaborating with CEA Tech to incorporate haptic technology into the virtual world, with the CNRS to develop artificial intelligence for virtual clinical cases, and with the LAMPA research laboratory, and its PhD student in digital simulation Anne-Sophie Milcent, to create expressive virtual agents (endowed with emotions) in order to stimulate or promote empathy in health professionals.
In-house, we make innovation a watch-word so that everyone is motivated by a desire to do better in their role.

Bulletin Report
For the sixth consecutive year, Doña Ana County's annual outside audit has come back with zero findings of deficiencies in processes and protocols.
During today's regular meeting of the Doña Ana County Board of Commissioners – at which the audit was presented – District 3 Commissioner Benjamin L. Rawson noted that Doña Ana County is the only county in the State of New Mexico to receive no findings over a six-year period, and only one municipality – the Village of Causey, population 104, in Roosevelt County – received no findings over the same period.
"It's unusual for a governmental entity of this size to get two consecutive clean audits," said Doña Ana County Manager Julia T. Brown. "To receive six consecutive clean audits may well be unprecedented, and it's a sparkling tribute to the county's Finance Department for managing the strong financial protocols that have been put in place to safeguard the integrity of taxpayer funds."
She noted that, in 2011, the New Mexico State Auditor's Office bestowed its very first Accountability Award for Large County Audit Achievement to Doña Ana County. The award was co-sponsored by the New Mexico Association of Counties.
"Occasionally, department heads and elected officials complain about the budgeting and procurement processes that we have in place," Brown said. "The processes may be cumbersome at times, but they're in place for good reasons, and this string of clean audits demonstrates that they're working as they should."
The county's external audits from 2011 through 2015 were conducted by Hinkle and Landers, PC, of Albuquerque. The 2016 audit was conducted by REDW, LLC, of Albuquerque.
To view the audit in its entirety, visit the Doña Ana County website's Finance Department page.

Audi unveils fuel cell-battery hybrid car at Los Angeles Auto Show
German car maker Audi has introduced a high-performance hydrogen-electric plug-in hybrid vehicle that can travel over 300 miles without tailpipe emissions.
Unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show last week, the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron Quattro features four hydrogen tanks storing about 5 kilograms of hydrogen each, as well as 114-hp power unit in both the front and back – each capable of a temporary power boost to 152 hp.
Designed to compete with Tesla dual-motor electric AWD, the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron Quattro's two motors are powered by 8.8-kWh lithium-ion battery pack borrowed from the A3 e-tron, which, upon depletion, allow the hydrogen fuel cell range extender to kick in for as much as 310 miles of extra range drawn from four hydrogen storage tanks.
According to the article on Torque news, the fuel cell is a stack of 300 individual cells, and can reach efficiencies of 60% with cold-start performance down to -28 degrees C. However, seeing as the acceptable temperature range is only 80 degrees C, Audi has placed greater demands on the vehicle cooling system than a combustion engine.
On the inside, the cabin is fitted with typical A7 model cabin appointments, such as dial on the console for controlling content on the dashboard-mounted LCD. However, instead of a tachometer the car shows a power gauge, and the fuel level indicates how much hydrogen is left in the tank.
In terms of acceleration from a full stop, the vehicle puts zero to 62 mph figure at 7.9 seconds, a bit underwhelming when compared to the company's production cars.

Will earnings kill the party?
For the past few weeks, investors have "partied like its 1999." It felt like the heady days of the tech bubble and not the iconic song by Prince.
They have taken a "What me worry?" attitude that would make Alfred E. Neuman, the fictional mascot of Mad magazine, proud. Investors sent the major indexes soaring after data showed some small hints of improvement in the economy, even as 663,000 jobs were lost in March.
"Over the last four weeks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained 20.35 percent, the best four-week performance since 1933," according to MarketWatch. But will the gains continue even though every pundit from Jim Cramer to your know-it-all relatives expects first quarter earnings to be dreadful? The answer for at least today is a resounding "maybe."
Shares in Europe and Asia were higher this morning amidst the positive response to HSBC PLC's 12.9 billion rights issue, which allayed concerns caused by yet another North Korean missile test. Japan's government also plans on spending $100 billion to pull its economy out of its worst recession since World War II. S&P futures were down early Monday morning on concerns that IBM's (IBM) planned acquisition of Sun Microsystems (JAVA) had collapsed.
Some pundits argue that the good times are not going to last.
According to Bloomberg News, financial services firms remain a storm cloud looming over the economy and any celebration by investors may be premature. And earnings season, which kicks off this week, could increase the gloom.
"While rising home sales and durable-goods orders show the economy may be bottoming, unemployment and consumer debt, as well as prospects that banks will be forced to write-down more loans, may halt the gain in equities," the news service says.

UK petrol prices should be falling
and not rising steadily, according to a new report by the AA.
The motoring organisation says the
wholesale cost of petrol has fallen over the last month.
At the end of December it was £524
per tonne but by the end of January the price had dropped to £505.
The AA says the average price of
unleaded at the pump is a record 128.62p per litre – the fifth highest in
AA president Edmund King wants the
government to consider introducing a price stabiliser.
"We understand prices remain
volatile, but hope retailers will pass on savings when they can," he said.
The AA says it believes petrol
stations are trying to compensate for lower than expected sales in the run-up
to Christmas.
But the Petrol Retailers
Association has defended the level of prices, saying its members have been
"suffering terribly".
He said: "Forecourts are
closing at the rate of around 400 per year with smaller, but socially vital,
rural sites most at risk.
"Attempts to deflect the
impact of relentless government tax hikes by suggesting that retailers are
'profiteering' are ludicrous."
The row comes as Chancellor George
Osborne comes under growing pressure to freeze the 1p fuel duty rise due to
take effect on 1 April.

It only takes hanging with the wrong crowd and making a bad decision for a young person's life to get off track. In 2015, 229,715 babies were born to women between the ages of 15 to 19 years old. Read on to find out how IUD can prevent your daughter from becoming a teenage parent.
Get Your Daughter On Birth Control
Birth control stops pregnancy before it can occur. Parents can choose from a variety of options to prevent teen pregnancy. These options include pills, the patch, a vaginal ring, the shot, the sponge, IUDs, implants, the cervical cap, the diaphragm and condoms. Most sexually active teens use condoms and birth control pills. Unfortunately, they do not always use these methods in the right manner. This results in sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies.
Go With An Effective Preventative Method
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a small T-shaped piece of plastic that is placed in your uterus. It works by preventing sperm from fertilizing an egg. IUDs can stay in the uterus from three to 12 years, depending on the type.
What Are The Four Types Of IUDs?
The four types are Skyla, Liletta, Mirena and ParaGard. The Skyla is the smallest IUD device on the market. It uses hormones and provide up to three years of protection against pregnancy. The Liletta uses hormones and provides up to three years of protection. The Mirena is small, made of plastic and uses hormones. It provides up to five years of protection. The ParaGrad is non-hormonal and has copper filament wrapped around the T-shaped device. It provides up to 12 years of protection against pregnancy.
The IUDs that release hormones provide extra protection against pregnancy and alleviates menstruation cramps. However, this birth control method does not provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Abstinence and condoms are best for preventing STDs. There is also no age requirement to use an IUD.
Most parents want their children to become successful and productive citizens in the world. It starts with setting a foundation for your children and by showing them unconditional love. Some teenagers have sex because they do not feel love or do not have structure at home. You should always preach abstinence to your children. It is the only way to avoid sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies.

For many reasons, some of them vague;Dr.Miracle's ads offend some. When the women in the commercials let out that blood-curdling scream and have this clown-contorted facial expression,it comes off as buffoonery.The producers and editors of these advertisements, should think about the people who are actually viewing them. It doesn't matter who their targeted audience is.There are little black girls and boys, along with people of other races seeing these commercials.
When little black girls see how these women act, it may affect their self-image.They may begin to feel as if whenever anything goes wrong with their hair, they need to run to the chemicals. And if their relaxed hair looks this bad at times, then they wouldn't dare wear their hair natural!
It's not just the relaxer commercial that may bother a strong,black,and educated woman. With all the products, do the women have to have such strong reactions to their "mishaps"? A little black girl might look at this reaction and think "Do black women look that bad?" "Is that how I look?" "What do I have to do be beautiful?" "_____ women ( take your pick from across the racial spectrum) don't look like that." "They're not ugly. They don't have to put the "burning cream" in their hair , like mommy does me."
In one of the commercials, a black woman is in horrified-shock at how her hair looks, then her "man" or husband walks in and begins to tease her about her hair. What does this show little black boys? That whenever a little black girl has a bad hair day, it's okay to taunt and berate her? He may also develop a mental complex that women of other races look or are better than black women;because they don't have to carry out all of these complex rituals on themselves. This black boy will affect the aesthetic standards for black girls. If the black boys are not attracted to dark skin/4a-4c hair type, what does that mean for some little black girls? It means she will do whatever it takes to feel desired and accepted. She may use chemicals,bleaching creams,have surgery,and deny her cultural background.
As for how these advertisements depict black people to other races,it's embarassing. Black people might feel degraded when they watch them.So there is no telling what people of other races are thinking.It's highly probable, that they are amused and confused. Amused at the buffoonery of the actors. Confused at how black people beautify themselves,why would our hair be that tangled and matted in the first place if it's supposed to be straight,and is hair that important to them that they have to scream and cry over it? At times one may feel like it's a minstrel show all over again.
There are three posibilities about the unknowns that wrote,directed,produced, edited,and approved the commercial for broadcast. 1) They're oblivious to what some are seeing and feeling and it is all innocent. 2) They had no control over the situation and had to do what they were told. 3)They are fully aware of all the negative sentiments and stereotypes that could stem from their advertisment, but do not care; they just want their money.
In the end , some may see these advertisements as degrading and embarassing; and may not be purchasing anything from them until they are satisfied by future actions, as in changes.

From: New Bedford Jewish Federation [email@example.com]

Subject: Tragic News - A Special Bulletin - May their Memory Be Blessed
The Greater New Bedford Jewish community joins Jews everywhere as we mourn the deaths of Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Sha'ar and Eyal Yifrah.
A few hours ago the bodies of three kidnapped teens have been found in a field near Hebron. It is confirmed that they were murdered soon after their abduction on June 12.
"I share the grief of their families" said Ellen Hull, incoming President of the Jewish Federation of Greater New Bedford. "We prayed for them as if they were our own"
Only last night, 75,000 met in Rabin Square with the families to pray for the safe return of these boys and hundreds of thousands have been praying and campaigning since their capture.
Personally what I feel at the moment is rage, at the same time my heart goes out to the families.
I hope and expect that those who are responsible for this kind of brutality will quickly be found and severely punished.
This story from the Times of Israel adds some more detail.
This Bulletin is a special email from Amir Cohen, Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Greater New Bedford.

Azure AD Sync Build 1.0.494.0501 was released some time ago and in my opinion it brought a fix for a major problem I was seeing in a lot of cases and that is failing of password writeback with servicebus connectivity error.
I still see a lot of partners struggling with this type of error messages at their end customers and I advised all of them to install the new build. This solved this error in all of the cases.
However, be aware that Azure AD Sync build 1.0.494.0501 now requires the .Net Framework version 4.5.1 to be installed. So if you don't have this .NET version currently installed on your server, you may want to install it before installing the new Azure AD Sync Build.
To stay in close touch with all Azure AD Sync build releases you may want to follow this MSDN version history page.

Massage boosts mood and reduces respiratory problems in children with cystic fibrosis, researchers report. Investigators looked at 20 youngsters with cystic fibrosis, aged 5 to 12 years. The children were divided into two groups. An intervention group received massage therapy from their parents for 20 minutes each night prior to bedtime. Patients in the control group were read to by their parents. At 30-day follow-up, children who received massage exhibited improvement in peak air flow measurements, compared with control participants. In addition, experimental subjects enjoyed decreased anxiety and increased mood, compared with children in the reading group.

UK Coach John Calipari spoke to an assembled group of media members who were invited to his house Sunday to watch the NCAA Tournament Selection Show. Here's what Calipari had to say after seeing the Cats' draw:
On not having any NBA teams in their bracket, which he joked about earlier: "It's a good bracket. I didn't get to see it all. I haven't really studied it, but you kind of wanted to know who those four were with us. When you look at all four brackets, the West may be a little lighter than the others but not much. I mean — is West Arizona and those guys? (Yes). It was pretty hard. That one's hard. What was the other one? I don't know. They're all pretty — again, my concern right now is just making sure we're in a great frame of mind, and this team right now is. We'll take tomorrow complete off from basketball. We may watch some tape later tomorrow night, and that tape is going to be our Arkansas game. And it won't even be with me. It will be with the staff. Let those guys go over the tape with them. We'll come back Tuesday, practice. We probably won't leave until Wednesday to go to Louisville."
On how much it helps to be close to home to get extra rest: "It's helpful. I mean, if we had to go west and leave like tomorrow, that's a tough deal. If you can take a day off, practice and then not have to travel until Wednesday that's a big plus for us. You're talking an hour and 15 minutes down the road, so…"
On Manhattan/Hampton being a tough matchup: "Yeah. Manhattan is good. I watched them play — Steve's team. Which game did I watch? Maybe the championship game. I watched some of that, and I thought they played hard. They pick up, they're aggressive. They're not going to back away. They're not going to be afraid. Steve has done a great job with that team. And they struggled early, so what's happened is they're at their best right now. But they've got to beat Hampton. That's the greatest thing about this tournament. I've coached a bunch of teams in here, and any time you get ahead of yourself you hurt yourself and usually it's wasted time because the team you think is going to advance loses. They didn't even win, so why were you spending any time? So the best thing you can do is stay in your own little pocket of those teams that we have to play: the eight/nine in our region, the team we've got to get in our region. If you're lucky enough to get that, you get that winner of the eight/nine. Just worry about those two games."
On Steve Masiello saying Calipari has helped him along the way: "He and I have always been good, because I think he's crazy like I am. I've seen some stuff, and I tease him all the time. But I think he's a terrific coach. He's a great recruiter, gets after it, coaches his kids, not afraid to coach his kids. The stuff that happened here, I reached out to him and I called our people, 'Let's help him make this right.' Shoot, I even told him, 'Hell, you can stay there (points at pool house). If you need to be on campus, stay in the back. I'm fine with that.' But he got done what he had to get done. I was really proud of our school that there was no — everybody just said, 'How do we help this?' And he — I'll tell you it's a great story. He's bounced back and took all responsibility: 'I had to do this.' So I'm happy for him."
On how the idea to invite media to his house for Selection Show came about: "Well, no one stole the student's transcripts so I had to leave them out. But uh…(Laughter). I mean, I've just always done it. We've always invited media and the players and, you know, let you guys see these guys and be a part of this with us."
On no celebration when No. 1 seed was announced: "You mean here? I wasn't in here. I didn't see it. Look, we all knew we were going to be the one-one. I mean there was no surprise. I think they were trying to figure out who's going to be the two, three, four, five, six. Who is it? West Virginia, let me just tell you something. West Virginia probably got more out of their team — Bobby Huggins — than any team in the country. And here they are. You know, you win a couple games and you may be facing them. And we know now they beat us in 10, we beat them pretty good in 11. It's like always a good game, and they're in there. So I think these guys just wanted to see, 'Like who is in there?'"
On if he was surprised they didn't make Wisconsin the No. 2 seed in UK's bracket after all the recent talk: "I didn't think they could. I mean how could you do it and then — I mean you had to get in front of cameras and explain yourself. In this era of social media and transparency you couldn't go in there and say, 'Kentucky is going to play Wisconsin in a regional final.' You couldn't do it. I didn't think they'd do it. I just said, 'There's no way unless they're ready to take the grief that's going to follow it.' You're talking about — Wisconsin is playing good. There are a lot of teams. I mean, Arizona is playing out of their minds right now. I think Villanova is playing great. Virginia, they're a little bit beat up but they're still — I mean, you've got eight teams, from that eight, in my opinion someone is going to win the thing form those eight. After that there's some teams that have a chance to advance and do some stuff, but I just don't think — those eight teams.
"Those eight teams — they're really good, those eight. And it's not just us. There's no … everybody talking like … Let me just tell you, it's a one-game shot. Foul trouble, struggle, injury, have a bad game, someone else play out of their minds — which we've seen happen against us. Kid from Texas A&M gets 40. We've seen it. Like, 'Oh my gosh, who is this guy?' So, it's not the best of five. It's one and done. I'm telling you that my message will not change. Let's be the best version of each individual player. Let's be at our best. If that's not good enough, I'll live with the consequence. I'll live with it. And I told them, you'll have to live with it. It's not, 'Nine out of 10, they'd have beat 'em.' Yeah, but we didn't beat 'em that time.' I'll live with it. I already live with one in 2008. I did fine. Look, I didn't slit my wrists. I was good."
On the plane ride home: "Quiet. We were all tired. Three games in three days. Noon starts. No shootaround. Get up early. I've been waking up at like 5 and then going back to sleep. We're all tired. We all got on the plane, and I don't think there was two words spoken."
On him seeming pretty comfortable with the draw: "I was good with whatever they did. I have, in my opinion, the best team and the best players. That doesn't mean you win. This isn't best of five, best of seven. It's one game. But as long as we're at our best, that's the most we can ask of these kids. And I'll be fine."
On Willie saying some of UK's players, including himself, didn't have "their minds right" before the SEC Tournament: "Today showed a lot, because that game was so physical. I watched the tape on the plane back. That was a physical game that we withstood. I thought we had a couple, three turnovers, that there was no reason for. Three. So, when you start talking about a 10-turnover game against a team like that, it's pretty good. Willie made the best statement. They said, 'how's you gte yourself going offensively?' … 'Well, Coach put me on that guard' — the Harrell kid — 6-3 guard. Willie had to get in a stance, he had to play like a guard. He said, 'It made my motor go. I played with more energy. And it helped me on offense.' I told the team what he said. I didn't say it. Willie said it. And I told all of them, 'If you think in those terms — 'I'm going to get myself going defensively and the offense will happen' — you'll see this thing go to another level.' But that's hard, because doing what Willie said, you have to be on point. You have to have high energy. You have to be really focused. You have to be in an attack mode. And it's hard. They're not robots, they're not machines. It just doesn't happen all the time."
On five SEC teams in the field: "I was happy. I was hoping Texas A&M would back their way in. You know, it's tough. Texas A&M's issue was the House kid went down. If House doesn't, they're playing us and they could have beat us. They had us double overtime (in the regular season). So, it's unfortunate that injuries play a part of this."
Does it help to play in a gym (Yum Center) that they played in earlier this year?: "I don't think so. I'll be anxious to see how many blue jerseys are in there. The (SEC) Tournament, it was crazy. It was 97 percent Kentucky fans in that building. What? They said 10,000 came to the opening games, because they couldn't get tickets to our games. So they just bought tickets and went to the opening games to be a part of the thing, which is great for the SEC and our fans. I would expect we'll have a pretty good crowd, but let me just tell you something: Those other teams will have their allotment of tickets. And they will be there."
Now that you have to go undefeated to win it all, do you talk about the history of this?: "No. It has no bearing. Willie said it best. 'Everybody's zero and zero.' Teams that are 20-10 could win the whole thing. 22-10 and they finish 28-10 and win the national title. What was Connecticut's record last year? I think it was 28-10. What was our record going in? We ended up getting in the tournament and bam, bam, bam. It doesn't matter. We had nine losses, I think, going in. Doesn't matter. Everybody is zero-zero, including us, which is nice. We don't have to worry about it now. We're all the same."
Does that help that now everybody — not just UK — has to deal with that pressure?: "I've said it, now everybody has the same issues. You lose, you go home. See, to play us before, you live for another day. Now you're strapped up to the chair. OK, you lose this, you're done. And it's like, 'OK, we're all in the same boat. Now how do you play?' We have been in these dogfights, but it doesn't matter. All that aside. One game, one day, you gotta play."
One Response to "Q&A: John Calipari talks after NCAA Selection Show"
Did a bit of research today after the selection show. Here are the Strength of Schedule Averages for each of the brackets. The total number represents all 16 teams in each bracket. Then devided by 16. KY fans won't be surprised. The Mideast Bracket (The Cats Bracket), total number is 783 devided by 16 teams…..SOS…..48.93 for all teams. The Western Bracket (Wisconsin's Bracket), total number is 850 devided by 16 teams….. SOS…..53.125 for all teams. The East Bracket (Villanova's Bracket), total number is 915 devided by 16 teams…..SOS…..57.187 for all teams. The South Bracket (Duke's Bracket), total number is 1014 devided by 16 teams….. SOS…..63.375 for all teams. While the bracketology predictions weren't written in stone, they are confirmed now. The KY Wildcats have the toughest road to the final four.
Duke, with the most losses of all the #1 seeds, has the easiest road to the final four. If SOS were done so that the best records were rewarded, shouldn't the teams with the best records have the easiest path. Isn't the seeding system a reward system? Would it be correct to say conclusively there's some "home cook'n" going on. Draw your own conclusions.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

In the beginning, when the universe was a dark void, Devi's divine smile built the entire universe. She is the energy that exists in every living form. The goddess Ma Kushmanda in Sanskrit means the little cosmic egg. After creating the universe, Devi first created three goddesses Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and Mahasaraswati. The three supreme gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva were born from the powerful Devis. Later, the united form of Shiva and Shakthi infused life into the universe.
On the fourth day, Ma Kushmanda is worshipped and revered as the true representation of the universe. The colour green truly represents her generous heart that enriches every living being. To live a prosperous life, we invoke her blessings today.
