The FARSI (Persian) Language:
Persian Language, also known as Farsi, is the most widely spoken member of the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian languages, a subfamily of the Indo-European languages. Farsi is the language of Iran (formerly Persia) and is also widely spoken in Afghanistan and, in an archaic form, in Tajikistan and the Pamir Mountain region. Farsi is spoken today primarily in Iran and Afghanistan, but was historically a more widely understood language in an area ranging from the Middle East to India. Significant populations of speakers in other Persian Gulf countries (Bahrain, Iraq, Oman, People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates), as well as large communities in the USA. Total numbers of speakers is high: over 30 million Farsi speakers (about 50% of Iran's population); over 7 million Dari Persian speakers in Afghanistan (25% of the population); and about 2 million Dari Persian speakers in Pakistan.

What a very special thing to do. Use your paddle to find the marine life, go fishing, or just do a bit of sightseeing. The backcountry is our top pick for where to go, but even in the canals or off the beach is excellent in the Florida Keys. If you did not bring your own, a Kayak Rental is the way to go.
Pick between all of the various watersports options, as you get lots of choices. Do something different each day. Low wind days are the best for getting on the water and enjoying the water clarity. The people working here are very professional.
King F.
It sure is nice having lots of choices of good things to do. I was amazed how beautiful it is in this whole entire zone. I would also check out the Islamorada Bicycle Cruiser Rental Shop as they have great deals for your bike riding.
There's just something special about the boat trips on the Atlantic Ocean that keeps me coming back for more. Do not far from the Islander upper keys" class="comment-more6">Oceanside Islander Upper Keys which is another place we have stayed at and the Sunset Inn is just across the street.
Boats are awesome down here and are really good to rent. If you have the time, be sure to go on a kayak too. Each is different. In the boat we do tend to go slow to see underneath.
You can rent a wave runner boat here and take an adventure tour that is as good as it gets. We like the bars behind the Postcard Inn, the reef Snorkeling, and the sandbar parties. Over by Robbie's there are mangrove tunnels and kayak rentals.
They will bring the kayaks to you at your resort. Just call and set it up. You keep the kayak for the entire vacation trip. The multiday rental means lots of exploring each day.

Everyday Contracting
Make Contracts you can enforce with Customers that can pay
Manage Credit
6 Steps to Improving Cash Flow
Collect A Debt
Statistically, the probability of collecting a debt drops between 60 and 90 days to around 73%. By 180 days you have only about a 50% chance of collecting at all.
By the time an Account is 90 days overdue, if a debtor actually intends to pay you, you should at least have made a Payment Agreement in relation to the debt which is being performed. If you don't, waiting any longer is usually a mistake.
For best results we recommend businesses follow a Debtor Management Procedure and refer debts to us for collection between 60 and 90 days.
Debt collecting is a competitive sport - if you're not getting paid someone else probably is. Often the creditor making the most noise will get paid first.
Let us make that noise for you. It's what we specialise in.
Our techniques have been developed and proven by an Accredited Specialist in Commercial Litigation.
We use letters, emails, phone calls and SMS Messages to engage debtors and recover debts promptly.
Our written and phone demands are more sophisticated and effective than even the biggest collection agencies.
We consistently get results that other collectors can't and aren't afraid to take on debts that other collectors have given up on.
We have also pioneered our unique and copyright protected Fast Track Payment Agreements. If a debtor asks for time to pay, if you agree, we are able to swiftly make a legally binding Payment Agreement incorporating our Fast Track Payment Agreement Terms & Conditions via our Payment Plan Offer Portal. When a debt is subject to a Fast Track Payment Agreement recovery becomes much simpler and certain in the event of a default.
We charge a commission on money collected. Our commission varies as follows depending on the amount of the debt:
|$1,000 - $3,000
|30% (plus GST)
|$3,001 - $20,000
|25% (plus GST)
|$20,001 - $50,000
|20% (plus GST)
|$50,001 - $100,000
|15% (plus GST)
|> $100,000
|12.5% (plus GST)
Where you have a contractual right to recover collection costs, we will recover both the debt and our commission on your behalf.
If you have multiple debts, we can negotiate a flat rate commission to collect on all of them. Call us or email your Aged Debtors Report for a proposal.
Search fees, which enable us to find out pertinent information about debtors and their assets, may also be payable, however, these are capped at $60 (plus GST) per debtor.
Submitting debts for collection is easy and usually takes only 2 or 3 minutes.
Go ahead and put us to the test. Whether you have 1 or multiple debts, we have no doubt that you will be so blown away with our results that we will soon be the only Collection Agency that your business uses.
We aim to collect every debt without the need for Court proceedings or enforcement action. However, where a debtor is unwilling to pay or enter into a Fast Track Payment Agreement there is usually no point deferring recovery action through the Courts.
Our collectors can seamlessly manage the process of initiating Court recovery action, serving legal process and obtaining default Judgments. If you have an existing Court Judgment or Tribunal Order we can take enforcement action on your behalf.
We work fast and ultilise online Court services wherever possible.
Our collectors will relentless pursue recovery and utilise all appropriate enforcement options until a debtor pays or engages with us.
We can garnish wages or monies directly from bank accounts or other debtors.
We can also coordinate other enforcement options including Writs for the sale of Land or Chattels, Bankruptcy and Company Liquidations.
We look forward blowing your mind by demonstrating our ability to collect debts like no one else.

Trade Cycle
Reference work entry

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-349-95189-5_1666
The dynamics of capitalist economies are characterized by two facts: sustained growth of production and employment and wide oscillations of these magnitudes and the level of prices as well. This oscillatory behaviour of economic activity as a whole is indeed the subject of trade cycle theory. The use of the word 'cycle', besides pointing to alternation of ups and downs, also suggests the idea that oscillations are somewhat regular.

Goa has a unique history of institutions of local self government dating back to ancient times. Descendents of ancient settlers of the villages, called Gaunkars, organized themselves into "Communidades" or "Communities" which functioned as autonomous unit of village administration. The Government was vested in the assembly of elders of each clan or Vangor. Members of Communidades consisted of (i) Zoneiros(ii) Acsaocars (iii) Gaonkars. The primary activity of the Communidades was leasing out their commonly held agricultural land, orchards, ponds, through auction. The income was utilized to fund common services for the village like those of priests, barbers, construction and maintenance of markets, halls, etc. This village governance was allowed to exist alongside the Portuguese administrative machinery.
The second form of local Government prior to liberation in Goa were the Camara Municipals, introduced by the Portuguese, having their jurisdiction over both urban and rural areas of the entire taluka. They collected various taxes and received government grants, performed civil functions including the construction of building. Until a few years before liberation, these self-sustaining bodies were neither elective nor local. Their offices were reserved for 'Casados'.
It was only in 1959 that Juntas de Freguesias (rural self government bodies) were established by the Portuguese through the Portaria (Notification) No. 7575 of 23rd July, 1959, assigning them the responsibilities of repairs of village roads, drains, bridges, gutters, street lights, within their jurisdiction. This was the third self-governing unit that existed prior to the liberation of Goa. Thus prior to liberation, there were Panchayats in the villages but they were not codified and the people used to settle their grievances themselves rather approaching the Government authorities. There used to be Regêdor (village headman) in each village who was entrusted with some of the functions which are now exercised by the Village Panchayats.
I am very happy about the launching of the Curtorim Village Panchayat Website. I must say that this is going to help everyone in a better way. The accessibility to updated audit reports, action plans and project details on this website is a brilliant idea. I would like to congratulate the Curtorim Village Panchayat and their team for starting this initiative. Here's wishing Panchayat and all the people of Curtorim the very best for the future.
Shri. Aleixo R. Lourenco
Our Village Panchayat will soon be launching a website for the benefit of our people. It will not give the history and geography of Curtorim and statistical inputs but also and more particularly, information on the governance of our village. This website will cover as many topics as possible however, additional inputs may be required in the course of time for which we solicit the cooperation of our people. This website will be regularly monitored and updated from time to time.
This project is the product of our serious efforts put in by the members and staff; however, the driving force behind it has been our Ward Member Shri J. Santano Rodrigues – Conveyor of Goa PRI's Union. I hope this website will benefit our people in that they will be able to have the desired type of information at the click of a mouse.

If you have been on nephritis treatment for a long time, you can try Toxin-Removing Treatment in our hospital-Beijing Tongshantang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The following is a real patient story in which a nephritis patient gets a better treatment in our hospital.
Before coming to our hospital, he has took treatment in his local hospital for two years. But his condition relapses frequently. In order to get a radical therapy, he comes to our hospital. When he just arrived at our hospital, his urine protein was 2+ and occult blood was 1+. The key of our treatment is to cleanse toxins depositing in your kidneys out. After a detailed check up, we give him Toxin-Removing Treatment. As its name suggests, this therapy can remove toxins out, regulate kidney internal environment and recover kidney's filtration function.
Half month later, proteinuria and negative both turn negative.
From his story, we can see the first step in nephritis treatment is to first purify your blood. Without a clean blood environment, you can not get a good result. Because toxins and wastes in your body will cause further kidney damage and reduce the efficacy of medicines you take. If you take medicines without a clean blood environment, you can not get a good result. Toxin-Removing Treatment purifies your blood and then improves your renal function through dilating blood vessels, improving blood circulation, preventing inflammation and coagulation, degrading extracellular matrix, providing nutrients and removing blood stasis. Only in this way can your nephritis be treated from the root.
Nephritis can be treated well by Toxin-Removing Treatment. About more information, you can email us to firstname.lastname@example.com. We will reply you as soon as possible.

Thursday, August 18, 2016 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Wednesday, September 14, 2016 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM
On March 8, 2016, the Ontario Legislature passed Bill 132, the Sexual Violence and Harassment Action Plan Act, which amended a number of statutes by adding provisions regarding sexual harassment and sexual violence. In particular, Bill 132 included a series of changes to various provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act . These amendments, which will be in force on September 8, 2016 , could profoundly change how workplace harassment is addressed in Ontario workplaces and create new and challenging issues for employers.
Expected Learning Outcomes
The Participant will:
Wednesday, September 28, 2016 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM
In 2005, the Ontario Government passed the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act "AODA" to make Ontario accessible by 2025.
Accessibility standards have been created as part of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. These standards are rules that businesses and organizations in Ontario need to follow to identify, remove and prevent barriers so that people with disabilities have more opportunities to participate in everyday life.
Expected Learning Outcomes
The Participant will be introduced to the Act, and the various Standards e.g. Customer Service Standard, Transportation Standard, Integrated Standard of which includes Communication, Technology and Employment.
Through the use of a "self-audit" tool, the Participant will have a better understanding what is required for meeting due diligence compliance, the timeframes of which the compliance is required, the reporting obligations and the liability exposure for failing to comply.
Wednesday, October 5, 2016 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Ontario has a history of reasonably good labour relations, with some periods of conflict. In general, there have been fewer work stoppages in Ontario's BPS than in the private sector.
Employment has increased steadily in the past two decades across the major BPS sectors and industries, including education, health and social services, and public administration. Over the period from 2000 to 2011, Ontario public-sector employment in health care and social services increased by 39 per cent and in education by 34 per cent. By 2011, Ontario BPS employment accounted for just over 17 per cent of total employment in Ontario.
About 70 per cent of BPS employees are unionized - a far higher percentage than the roughly 15 per cent unionization rate in the private sector.
This high level of unionization produces a two-way street that requires joint oversight to foster effective union-management relationships. Any organization that wants to change the way in which services are delivered must work with the people who deliver those services and with the unions that represent those people.
This session has been designed for individuals that currently work in a unionized workplace environment.
Expected Learning Outcomes
*Continental breakfast is included
Wednesday, November 16, 2016 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Conflict is inevitable in any workplace. In any size of organization, dealing with conflict is part of your day-to-day responsibilities. The ability to recognize and understand the causation of conflict, to assess and minimize the risk and/or impact of conflict, and to effectively resolve conflicts will serve you well as an organizational leader.
You will be exposed to alternative approaches to minimizing or avoiding conflict in the workplace and leave with a general understanding of the importance of seeking common ground for early resolution and for achieving mutual gain.
The participant will acquire the fundamental skills to enhance their leadership role and assist them in looking at issues with a different perspective.
Expected Learning Outcomes
In this workshop, with the use of a standardized "Dealing with Conflict Instrument" the Participants will:
*Continental breakfast is included
Wednesday, October 19, 2016 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM
Workplace Accommodation and Return to Work planning for Physical and Psychological Disabilities can become a daunting task for any sized organization. What are our legal obligations? What are we allowed and not allowed to ask for from our Employees and their Physicians in support of meeting our obligations? What about Health and Safety risk factors? Do we manage work related issues differently than non-work related issues? This session has been designed for individuals that currently manage Workplace Accommodation and Return to Work planning. This session will provide to you, best practice techniques and tools on how to meet your obligations.
Expected Learning Outcomes:
*Continental breakfast and light lunch is included
Wednesday, November 2, 2016 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM
Organizations are challenged with the complexities of a never ending evolving change to our Workplace Safety and Insurance reporting obligations here in Ontario. Individuals responsible for this organizational function e.g. Finance, HR, OH&S, etc. are required to assess, and minimize risk as it relates to work related claims and how they should be managed for minimizing liability exposure.

* Canada and Ontario became GM shareholders in 2009 bailout
VICTORIA, British Columbia, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Canada has no immediate plans to sell its shares in General Motors Co, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on Friday, and the province of Ontario said it would offload its GM stake only when it can get the "best possible return" for taxpayers.
Both were responding to a report in the Globe and Mail newspaper on Friday that said Ontario's finance minister believed it was time for both the Canadian and Ontario governments to shed their GM shares.
"I don't think at this time it would be in our interest, the taxpayers of Canada, to engage in a fire sale of those shares, and I don't intend to do it right now," Flaherty told reporters in Victoria, British Columbia.
The two governments became shareholders of GM in 2009 when they contributed a combined C$10.8 billion ($10.89 billion) to a bailout to keep GM afloat. The U.S. government provided about US$50 billion.
Canada and Ontario's combined 9 percent stake, made up of around 140 million common shares and 16.1 million preferred shares, was worth C$3.5 billion at the end of September.
"I was in the private sector for many years. I wasn't in the habit of selling stocks at half their price," Flaherty said.
Separately, Aly Vitunski, a spokeswoman for Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan, said Ontario will sell its GM shares "when the time and circumstances are appropriate and in a judicious manner to ensure that Ontarians receive the best possible return on their investment".
The Globe had quoted Duncan as saying that "the sooner we're out of the stock the better".
Selling the stock would give an immediate boost to the coffers of both governments, which are both trying to reduce their budget deficits, the newspaper said. That is because the book value of the shares on the government's books is much lower than the current share price.
Flaherty said he has had "continuing discussions" on the subject of the GM stake with U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

The Town's support of the Xposure After School Program has been most important and meaningful to the children who are and have been involved in this extraordinary after school program that has focused on the tools our children will need in order to compete and experience success in the 21st century academic and employment arenas. Here at Town hall, we have helped facilitate the youth's access to the Cable Access Television studio as well as to program space needed to support their radio program. In so doing, we have supported the program staff as well as the children in providing an environment and opportunities conducive to the development of speaking, writing, interviewing and presentation skills – an environment in which the staff felt supported, inspired and motivated to provide the youth with these skills.
Ray Thomas has advised us that the Greenburgh Xposure After School Program has been nominated for two Emmy Awards under the children/youth categories for their television and radio interviews with the Lewis brothers ("It's A Crime Not to Save") and Dr. Olivia J. Hooker, ("Whatever Happened to Black Wall Street?") respectively. Decisions by those considering the Emmy Award will be released on or by May 6, 2017.
One of the interviews featured a interview with Greenburgh resident, Dr. Olivia Hooker who is now 102 years old. Watch the video.
We will continue to work hard to provide our youth with the tools they need to be great successes in life. The Xposure after school program is a great opportunity for many of our youth. The program has received funding from the Lanza Family Foundation.
2017 NY EMMY NOM - WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BLACK WALL STREET 2017 NY EMMY NOMINATED - Whatever Happened to Black Wall Street Featuring Dr. Olivia Hooker Watch and Listen to this historical account of the burning of Black Wall Street by 101 Year Old Dr. Olivia Hooker. The Interview was conducted by 2017 NY EMMY NOMINATED Xposure Greenburgh WXGB Fun Finance Radio interns Harshita Shet, Adrianna Murrell, Sydney Jackson and Jalisse Higinio. BIO Dr. Olivia J. Hooker was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma on February 12, 1915. Ku Klux Klan members ransacked her home during the Tulsa Massacre of Black Wall Street of 1921. Later Dr. Hooker was a founder of the Tulsa Race Riot Commission in hopes of demanding reparations for the riot's survivors. In 2003, she was among survivors of the riot to file an unsuccessful federal lawsuit seeking reparations. After the riots, Dr. Hooker's family moved to Columbus, Ohio where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in 1937 from Ohio State University. While at OSU, she joined the Delta Sigma Theta sorority where she advocated for African-American women to be admitted to the navy. She received her Masters ten years later in 1947 from the Teachers College of Columbia University. In 1961, she received her PhD in psychology from the University of Rochester. Dr. Hooker applied to the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES) of the U.S. Navy, but was rejected due to her ethnicity. She disputed the rejection due to a technicality and Hooker was accepted. However, she had already decided to join the Coast Guard. She entered the U.S. Coast Guard in February 1945.

The demands and expectations on Institutional Research (IR) have continued to expand over the years, yet there have been no studies on cost effective ways to develop and maintain the knowledge and skills needed by professionals in the field. This quantitative study supplemented with limited qualitative data explored the impact of participating in an Institutional Research (IR) affinity group on the development of the three tiers of organizational intelligence and the strength and nature of the social network that exists among the participants. Surveys were collected from members of a community college IR affinity group in New Jersey along with minutes from the IR affinity group meetings and postings on the IR affinity group listserv. Data were analyzed using SPSS for the quantitative analysis and Node XL for the social network analysis. The findings suggest that communities of practice, such as the IR affinity group, can aid the development and maintenance of some of the skills and knowledge related to the three tiers of organizational intelligence in the field of IR. These results also support King and Bouchard's (2011) assertion that professional development efforts need to establish clear learning goals that are coordinated, directed, and supported by distributed leadership to build capacity.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Pfizer Inc. on Monday gave taxpayers a glimpse into how banks are using some of the Treasury Department's $200 billion in bank aid, saying it had lined up $22.5 billion in what would be the largest high-quality bank deal since March.
The world's top drugmaker PFE, +0.47% said it was financing one-third of its $68 billion takeover of rival Wyeth WYE with debt and had received a commitment from a syndicate of five banks -- J.P. Morgan Chase JPM, -0.35% Bank of America Merrill Lynch BAC, +0.07% Barclays BCS, +1.34% (BARC), Citigroup C, +0.17% and Goldman Sachs GS, +0.09% -- for the financing.
If Pfizer uses bank loans for the entire $22.5 billion in debt built into the deal, as it's expected to do, the financing would represent the largest bank-loan syndication since government-sponsored enterprise Sallie Mae SLM, +0.62% raised $31 billion in March, according to Dealogic.
Analysts say the deal shows that where incentives like lucrative underwriting are on offer, banks are ready to open up their purses.
"The money is there," said Ken Jaques, senior analyst at Informa. The banks "are just picking and choosing."
The five banks syndicating the bank debt also advised Pfizer on the takeover, a typical arrangement in big mergers.
And the deal shows where some of the capital injected into the banks under the Troubled Asset Relief Program is headed. Some Congressional lawmakers and President Barack Obama have criticized the banking industry for not using this capital to increase loans to consumers and businesses.
"It's good to see that banks are doing what banks are supposed to be doing," said Pfizer CEO Jeff Kindler on a conference call with reporters Monday. Read more on the Pfizer/Wyeth deal. J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs have all received government aid under last fall's TARP program.
"Banks are under a lot of pressure to lend," said Leslie Barbi, head of fixed income at RS Investments, a unit of Guardian Life Insurance Co. that manages $19 billion in fixed income assets.
Bank lending has been stymied, she says, by banks' constraints to keep their capital levels high as they write down huge chunks of bad loans and securities. Plus many would-be borrowers look too risky as the economy sours.
"I bet they're jumping up and down and clapping hands to lend to this kind of borrower," said Barbi of the banks in the Pfizer syndicate. "It's a boon to them."
The bank financing also reflects a revival in high-quality corporations' ability to access lending markets, which had nearly shuttered late last year as investors flocked to safe-haven Treasury debt and cash.
So far this month, companies with investment-grade ratings have raised $2.3 billion in bank loans -- or about 6% of the capital raised in January of last year, Dealogic says.
Next stop, bond market
Analysts anticipate Pfizer will ultimately issue public bonds to pay down some of the bank loans, adding to string of recent issues by bellwether companies including McDonald's Corp. MCD, -0.40% and FedEx Corp. FDX, +0.53%
Pfizer could issue $5 billion to $7 billion in new public bonds to fund the takeover, said Jaques of Informa.
Such issuance would tap into resurgent investor appetite for investment-grade debt with yields that tower over comparable Treasurys.
Pfizer's 5-year bonds now trade about 340 basis points over Treasurys. If its ratings get downgraded, yields on new debt could top 6.5%, pushing the spread even higher, Jaques said.
At that level "people will definitely buy it," Jaques said.
Pfizer anticipates its ratings will get downgraded by the ratings agencies, and it said it halved its quarterly dividend to 16 cents a share to prevent further erosion.
Moody's Investors Service said it was putting Pfizer's Aa1 long-term ratings on review for possible downgrade and anticipated it could fall to A1, still well within the range of investment-grade credit. Standard & Poor's said it expected to lower Pfizer's ratings to AA from the coveted AAA rating.
Carol Levenson, director of research at Gimme Credit, said it's not surprising that a high-quality company has been able to line up so much bank financing. But bond investors may not show the same comfort level as the banks did.
If Pfizer's bank loans just last for one year, as is typical for so-called bridge financing, "this will put some pressure on Pfizer to refinance an awful lot of short-term debt in the capital markets, which may be difficult, particularly as the company has just voluntarily lowered its credit quality," Levenson said.

Hey cats and kittens! And speaking of cats this one's out of the bag: the Drop Dead Shop is getting pumpkin carving stencils this year!
I don't know too many artists who make their own pumpkin stencils, especially of their own characters, but I thought it'd be something unique for this year and I thought a skeleton on a pumpkin would suit Halloween pretty well. They're currently going for $4 and will also include instructions (carving knives or tools however will NOT be included). Right now Vince's mug is the only design available, but Betty will be joining him very soon as well as some other Halloween Vince-related goodies so stay tuned!
Thanks again everyone for all your comments and support. If any of you use the stencils for carving your pumpkins this year please let me know! Take care and stay spooky!

A CLECKHEATON teenager who had been the subject of a missing persons appeal has been found "safe and well."
Police said yesterday they were concerned for the welfare of Katie Wickham, 15, who had last been seen in Turnsteads Avenue, Cleckheaton, at 10:30pm on Monday.
Officers believed the teenager to be in the Batley and Spen area, and confirmed this morning that she had been found safe.
Police thanked the media and public for sharing the appeal to help find her.

President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet picks and his campaign rhetoric have industry experts worried that his administration will increase surveillance on Americans and gut the regulatory bodies that oversee cybersecurity.
"The president-elect, his advisors and future Cabinet members appear to see more enemies lurking in the homeland than in Russia or other cyber superpowers," said David Cowan, an investor in cybersecurity start-ups with Bessemer Venture Partners. "I fear that for the first time, the federal government really does pose a 'Big Brother' threat in cyberspace."
In addition to privacy concerns, the U.S. faces enormous threats to critical infrastructure from nation states, criminals and activists, and experts say it's unclear whether Trump will get the right advice on how to protect the country, or whether agencies will be adequately funded to do their jobs.

By M. Rosenfeld, J. Zaks
One of the members discussing fresh traits of their respective fields and in parts of universal curiosity in those court cases are such world-famous geometers as H.S.M. Coxeter, L. Danzer, D.G. Larman and J.M. Wills, and both recognized graph-theorists B. Bollobas, P. Erdos and F. Harary. as well as new leads to either geometry and graph thought, this paintings contains articles related to either one of those fields, for example "Convexity, Graph thought and Non-Negative Matrices", "Weakly Saturated Graphs are Rigid", and plenty of extra. the quantity covers a large spectrum of issues in graph idea, geometry, convexity, and combinatorics. The ebook closes with a couple of abstracts and a suite of open difficulties raised throughout the convention.

This was my first go with an airbrush foundation and I will say my experience is positive. The product itself can be either light, medium, or full coverage depending on how much time you want to spend layering. I did not spray this directly on to my face - instead I sprayed it on a brush and buffed it into my skin. The results were really nice - satin finish and even coverage. I am NC25-30ish and the shade medium was an excellent match. The only reason I wouldn't repurchase is the value - or lack thereof. If used daily, this won't last a month and for $28 that's just dumb. If this ever goes on sale, then I'll repurchase.

Although this stuff is quite expensive and doesn't last a month if worn daily, I will continue to buy it. It really does look like someone has airbrushed my skin when I wear it. It goes on evenly when sprayed directly on the face (hold your breath! It's nasty to breathe in) and it covers all of my age spots seamlessly and evens my skin tone beautifully.

I don't think I will repurchase this one again. It is definitely more for a light to medium coverage. It is extremely lightweight and natural looking which is a plus. You can not however where colour corrector underneath it. This is definitely more of a buildable coverage. The can asks you to spray from fairly far away which means that the foundation is spread more and the coverage is little. I suggest using a really nice fluffy brush or a beauty blender to apply it as this gives it a much more airbrush look. This is certainly a fun product but there is very little product for an expensive price so it isn't something that I will repurchase.

So far I love this foundation. I have really dry skin, freckles, and break out on my chin like crazy. I also have dark under eyes. Dermatologist is having me use benzoyl peroxide cleanser and prescription differen gel (adapalene). Also taking doxycycline so my skin is super sensitive right now to everything and sunlight. I have been searching for a foundation that will cover up all the dark spots from old break outs, even out my skin, and give me a hydrated and smooth look while my skin heals. My skin looks light on my face but I prefer to wear a shade darker to help cover all my flaws and of course I do go down my neck with this stuff too. I have been trying sample after sample of foundation from Sephora on a quest to find something that I love. Last night I bought the Dior air flash foundation, (Sephora sales person matched me), I took it home and put it on, it covered nothing and it was too light. That stuff is $62 and for that price it should have granted me 3 wishes imo. I tried spraying it directly on to the brush I bought for it, (flat kabuki that sp showed me), and then this morning tried again with the beauty blender. It didn't work and it was a disappointment after reading all the good reviews. But I had also seen this Sephora type was a possible (better) dupe so I returned the Dior and got this for half the price. Instead of having a sp match me, I picked the "medium" shade from the 10 choices with the help of my husband, and went home to try it. It did everything I wanted a foundation to do. It's everything I have been looking for so far, and if it doesn't cause me any break outs in the next few days then I am going to keep buying this. I spray it on the brush and buff it in, and on my chin and nose I spray it directly on my face and buff it in. I also buff some on my next and upper chest where I have some redness. This has a soft natural very skin like finish. I didn't need much concealer or powder at all either. Also, I did use a primer- I have the Sephora illumating one that I love and also too faced hangover. I use tarte rainforest of the sea mist to set and get a little glowy look after applying everything and I am so happy to finally find something.

I was really excited about this. I love the coverage, I think it covers acne scars very well. I also like the color match, I got one in a yellow undertone which is hard to find foundations that have yellow, so that is a plus. I spray the can directly into my brush so that it doesn't waste product, I really don't know why people would spray this onto the face! The con to this product is I am pretty sure it has been breaking me out :( I have sensitive skin and I think it must be the alcohol in it. So sensitive skin people, be warned.

I tried this foundation out after hearing that it was similar to Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation. Because I'm not quite convinced that I need to spend $62 on a foundation . . . just yet. After finally using up my spray canister (took 2 years - reserving it for special occasions, 6 months past the expiration date without any issues!), I can honestly say this is up there with Estee Lauder Double Wear as one of my favorite foundations.
I purchased Medium, which does indeed have a neutral undertone. I'm quite warm, so it pulls a tad orange on me, but not noticeably so. Fawn seems to be a better tonal match, but it's touch lighter than I need - I might try it next and darken it up with some bronzer. I've tried using this foundation by spraying it directly onto a big flat top kabuki and also by spraying it onto the back of my hand or a old sanitized gift card (I need to just buy a palette, hah) and I think I prefer it directly sprayed onto the brush. A Sephora make-up artist did use this with a Beauty Blender on me, but I feel like that might waste a fair bit of product given that this has quite a thin viscosity.
The coverage seems to be satin to matte medium and can be built up to medium-full. However, this foundation can look cakey if you apply too many layers. It feels far lighter on my skin than Double Wear, but of course, isn't as resilient as Double Wear. I think over a decent primer, this does look almost "airbrushed," but it still looks like my skin. This foundation also photographs beautifully, no white cash or blotchiness. Admittedly, it will breakdown on my T-zone on hotter and more humid days after three or four hours, but the foundation reacts well to a light blot and powdering.
I ended purchasing this for my best friend, a faithful Diorskin Airflash addict. She claims it's a decent dupe, but it's nowhere as good. But hey, for half price, it's worth a try.

Sorry to bring the rating down, but this is just meh. I purchased this earlier in the summer because I heard it was a good dupe for the Dior airflash, and wanted to try something different. I tried to use it with a beauty blender, flat top kabuki, my fingers. Just didn't have enough coverage. It wasn't terrible, and I might still revisit it for more casual days, but it was lacking. I do have to mention though that my ultimate fav foundations are koh gen do aqua foundation (around 65), Armani luminous silk (around 62), and Chanel vitalumiere aqua (around 50 I guess?) so I do tend to buy higher end, and maybe that's made me a bit biased on the quality.

After years of searching, I have finally found my HG foundation! I have spent tons of money trying to find the right foundation that blended well, didn't look heavy but lasted all day, didn't turn my skin oily after a few hours, and was the right color. This is a lot harder then it sounds! However, I heard about this airbrush foundation and gave it a shot. At $28, it was a lot cheaper than other brands I've gone for. To my surprise, it gave my skin a flawless, airbrushed look I'd never had before. It looked like my skin, but better! All I have to do is spray it on my face and buff it in with a wet beauty blender, and I'm done! One bottle lasts me for about 2-3 months, which is worth it to me. Would HIGHLY recommend!

I LOVE this foundation, and I can be very picky with bases. First of all, the spray I'm not a massive fan of, it's a little messy, so I apply it by spraying it on my brush and buffing it in, and it gives a beautiful finish. This foundation holds up through anything, foundations fade on me quickly throughout the day, but not this one. I use it with a hydrating and/or illuminating primer (beccas is one of my favs) since the formula is a little on the drier side, but not so much that it's an issue for me. I use the shade medium and for reference I am about nc35-nc40.

I am the first to admit that I have not quite mastered application of this but I doubt I am supposed to spray it directly at my face. Because of that, I spray it on my hand and then use my Beauty Blender sponge to apply. Then I dampen the sponge to even it out, blend it in, and if necessary build it up in certain areas. This offers medium coverage that can be built up to close to full coverage. I find it difficult to blend and when built up, it looks very cakey and makeup-y (not natural). Finish once it sets is matte, bordering on satin. I do have a great colormatch in the shade Fair (I am NC15), but only because I am currently tan (for me) as it's August. In the dead of winter this will be too dark and the lightest shade (Cream) is too pink for me. On a hot August day, this foundation gets shiny on me through the t-zone by noon, and starts to look even more cakey on bultt-up areas. I will continue to try to make it work, but I have a feeling it's just not quite right for me.

Oral Argument For Whether Single Text is TCPA Claim
As we have frequently discussed, Article III standing is a recurring issue here at TCPALand. This week another TCPA matter was heard in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeal where the court is attempting to decide whether the receipt of a single text message is sufficient to meet the definition of a concrete injury under Article III. The case is Salcedo v. Hanna et al., case number 17-14077.
Here's the background: Plaintiff John Salcedo brought a class action lawsuit against Alex Hanna and the Law Offices of Alex Hanna, alleging that defendants violated the TCPA by sending unconsented-to text messages promoting Hanna and the law firm to Plaintiff and other former clients of theirs.

British Electronic Duo AlunaGeorge have dropped two new singles entitled Turn Up The Love and Last Kiss. The duo were inspired to release Turn Up The Love due to the "fuckery" in worldwide current affairs. Upbeat groovy tempos are felt on Turn Up The Love, which spreads positivity. Group member Aluna Francis (the light-skin singer) took to social media to explain:
alunageorgeAnd this morning we served Turn Up The Love for breakfast! What is it about? I don't need to explain that, that's up to you this time, the reason we wrote it was because we needed a lift, a boost when these times are throwing us so many blows. I hope at the least it brings you a glimmer of light ❤
Aluna Francis is beautiful and talented!
Turn Up The Love god-damn-it
Have we heard similar?
Turn Up The Love is reminiscent of AlunaGeorge's collaboration with DJ Snake on the remix of a 2013 smash. That smash is of course You Know You Like It (Remix), which peaked at 13 on Billboard Hot 100.
Turn Up The Love Official Audio
Run it up, run it up
I swear it's simple, turn up the love
You can call my bluff
But I swear it's simple, turn up the love
Turn Up The Love Rating
With the windows down on a summer's drive you can really identify with the hedonism with Turn Up The Love. My initial reaction is positive and my head was nodding throughout listens. Aluna has an amazing tone with her voice and she rarely fails to deliver. It's a good song.
Now on to Last Kiss…
The other new release is entitled Last Kiss, which originates from the band being in Jamaica. You can almost hear the tropical climate in the production. Again, it is feel-good music, so it's a no brainer. Last Kiss is a sweet island mid-tempo mixed with breezy percussion and rhythmic guitar licks.
alunageorgeVery Very Very pleased today, first we shared Last Kiss with you last night. It was written in Jamaica among the palms overlooking the water, where even if you're sad it feels sweet. I think you can feel that in the music! Hope you enjoy
Last Kiss Official Audio
If it's gonna be my last kiss
I don't wanna miss it
If this is my last wish
Last Kiss Rating
I was loving this one instantly as on the "eargasm scale" her voice was arousing me more. Aluna has that butter voice on electronic beats that speak to the listener.
The purpose of the two releases was to show versatility between upbeat and ballad according to the press release from Aluna.
"The creative concept is to release two tracks, one upbeat song and one ballad, to symbolize 'light and shade' and highlight the duality of both songs" – Aluna
Tour Life
Currently AlunaGeorge are on tour with Coldplay, joining the band on 14 stops in UK, US and Canada. Salute to George Reid on the buttons, who is sonically responsible for these hits.

In all 4 images, we see anti-aliased, sub-pixel positioned, ClearType text. The rendering on the right column is pixel snapped, which sends the glyphs through a refined codepath by Mikhail Lyapunov for rendering the final text in an extremely polished state; every time one changes the location or size of the text, it runs through this codepath and smoothly renders the text for that location on the pixel grid.
We turn off pixel snapping during an animation/scrolling primarily because animation looks best if the text is anti-aliased but not pixel snapped. Snapping animated glyphs to the pixel grid causes weird visual artifacts during the animation.
For V1, the rendering system automatically detects an animation or scrolling of text, turns off pixel snapping, and turns it back on when the animation is completed.
So why 1 second? We animate snapping back on at a hard-coded speed, and that speed was optimized for the most common case of scrolling text at fontsizes of 10-12.
At some point, we discussed enabling the developer to animate the strength of the snapping of the text (so that text smoothly shapes into the final rendering) but the API design and underlying codepath was out of reach for this version.
Please let us know if you (the designer/developer) want control over "strength of Pixel Snapping" in vNext via the ladybug website.
