Tokyo Trip: Pocket MomentsPosted: July 4, 2012 Filed under: A Tourist For All Seasons, Have A Nice Day | Tags: Camisoles, Flats, Pants, Purses, Socks Leave a comment
For Day 6 of our trip, we went outside of the city and into Kawagoe, a quieter area with small shops and restaurants. I wore a flowy top, which in my mind's eye, was my closest approximation to a kimono (please excuse my dour face; this is when I was starting to not feel too well).
Since I was starting to get the sniffles, I had several tissues in my pocket. I've realized that I feel incomplete if I'm wearing an outfit without pockets; I need pockets to store essentials or for a place to rest my hands. Thankfully, my skinny cargo pants has many pockets.
We walked around and enjoyed the smaller town-feel. As the sun moved out from under the clouds, the day got a little bit hotter. I used our umbrella to shade myself, almost wishing I had a prettier parasol instead.
We went back to Ginza tired yet sad that this would be our last night in Japan. We wanted to go to a hibachi, but since we were tired, we settled on McDonald's and ate our food while watching a variety show in our hotel room. An unexpected yet fun way to end our trip.

Some people must wear jeans on their off work days. I must wear either skinny pants, jeggings, or leggings. I can't get enough of them; I wear at least one of these types of bottoms almost every weekend. I'm in the camp that thinks that they're so comfortable and are the perfect complement to the many loose, blousy fitting tops that I own. So, it goes to show, that I would wear my black jeggings with a flowy top for a girls' night out. Unfortunately, since it was girls' night out, Chris made his own plans, so I had no other choice but to use my back-up–my trusty mirror–to highlight my outfit.
I had no idea what to wear initially, but I knew I could style everything around my black jeggings. Plus, I figured that anything that doesn't look dressy enough can be dressed up with the right accessories. My number one goal is to be comfortable with what I'm wearing. The last thing I want is to be overly self-conscious about my clothes when I'm out to have a good time. So, on the comfort list I have: 1) a pair of well-worn jeggings (check), 2) a fun, flowy top (check), 3) a cute sweater to keep me warm (check), and 4) rockin' jewelry to liven up my look (check for the earrings and necklace).
I also decided to wear my go-to heels because I knew that would instantly dress up my outfit. Luckily, they've been broken in so they didn't hurt my feet at all (I'm all for heels as long as I don't end up limping in agony at the end of the night).
And–ta-da!–instant outfit–and I didn't have to go shopping for it (this time). What do you like to wear for a night out on the town?

Hang in There, BabyPosted: November 16, 2011 Filed under: Loungin', Somebody's Old Clothes to Love | Tags: Camisoles, Earrings, Flats, Pants, Scarves, Vintage Leave a comment
I was in a purple and black mood today (I was also in a purple and black mood yesterday, but there is no official blog evidence of this). I also felt inspired by the bandanas that were popularized in the 1940s and 1950s, and of course, inspired by Little Edie Beale of Grey Gardens fame when I chose to wear the scarf on my head. I love the funky pattern of the scarf and knew that since I couldn't wear too many accessories, the few accessories that I did have had to stand out. I wore my vintage earrings because I love the design, and I thought they would be a cute addition to my outfit, but unfortunately, my nephew got a hold of one, so I immediately took them off (obviously after the pictures were taken). So, really, I wore the whole outfit the entire day minus the earrings (apparently, I'm still learning what is appropriate to wear when taking care of children).
Luckily, I made it through the day without any other wardrobe changes, although, I can't say the same for the little one. Babies seem to have an astounding amount of clothes because 1) everyone wants to buy them miniature-sized version of adult clothes, 2) everyone wants to buy them adorable-themed clothes, and 3) everyone knows that babies are not naturally clean creatures and constantly need to be changed after they get dirty from eating, playing, playing while eating, or from any "diaper accidents" (which can also occur while playing). Oh, to be a baby again. You have lots of clothes and have people who will clean you. That's the life.

Cuttack: In the fight between two Ravenshaw Hostels, six students have been suspended today. The students belong to the New Hostel and Lalitgiri Hostel that have been sparring since a few days.
The varsity hostel students have been fighting after a heated argument between two groups belonging to the two hostels occurred few days ago.
Today six students were suspended and while three of them will not be allowed to attend the upcoming exams for the fourth semester, three others will be barred from sitting for exams for the second semester as part of a disciplinary action by the University administration. Apart from these students, 10 others have been left after being warned for their activities and involvement in campus unrest.

NOAA forecasters estimate a 90% chance of geomagnetic storms on Nov. 2nd-3rd when a fast-moving stream of solar wind is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. Solar wind speeds could exceed 800 km/s and spark a strong G3-class geomagnetic storm. Sky watchers in the USA should be alert for Northern Lights as far south as, e.g., Oregon and Illinois.

OSVS & The Community
Affordable Pet Care For Every Owner
OSVS strives to make veterinary care affordable for every pet owner, but sadly, many pet owners simply cannot afford such care. In an effort to assist some of these owners and help keep these pets as part of their family, OSVS administers a number of assistance funds which are designed to provide financial support to clients in need. OSVS and its staff do not use any of this money for administrative costs; all donated funds go directly toward patient care.
The Paris Fund
Named by its founder after their own pet, a cute little dog whose owner wanted to help pet owners who could not afford veterinary care. This fund is used to help clients who have done all they can financially for their pet, but for whom a small amount of assistance could make a difference.
The John Montanaro Oncology Fund
This fund was established following the untimely death of Rhode Island native, John Montanaro III. John's legacy of generosity and concern for animals was forged after his own pet was diagnosed and treated for cancer at OSVS. John sadly passed away from leukemia at 19 years of age but donations to this fund will help make cancer care more affordable for some of the patients seen by our oncology service.
The John Montanaro Memorial Garden was completed in the fall of 2011 and was dedicated in the spring of 2012. It is a quiet place for owners to sit and reflect when they have a pet being treated at OSVS or to grieve following the loss of a beloved family pet.
Individuals interested in having an engraved memorial brick with their pet's name in the memorial garden should contact Ms. Linda Adams at 886-6787. The donation of $150 for the brick will go directly to the John Montanaro Oncology Fund. The engraved bricks will be placed in the garden walk at least twice yearly.
The Companion Animal Foundation (CAF)
The CAF was founded 10 years ago to help low-income pet owners whose pets require veterinary care. This is a tax deductible, IRS-recognized non-profit organization that has helped care for and treat hundreds of animals who otherwise would have gone without care or been euthanized. Donations are distributed to veterinarians who are members of the Rhode Island Veterinary Medical Association for them to use at their discretion and based on fund availability.
The CAF is not administered by OSVS. To donate or for eligibility information please visit www.companionanimalfoundation.org/ or call 401-521-PETS (7387).

Interested in Savannah?
We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for Savannah each week.
Topics include Transportation, United States: For Foreign Visitors & more!
The first place shoppers should go in Savannah is without a doubt, the City Market, the "art and soul of the city." The market began in 1755 as a farmer's market, a place to buy everything from fish to tobacco. The market exists today with flair of its origin still in the air thanks to the horse-drawn carriages encircling the area. Plan to spend considerable amount of time here shopping, browsing artist's galleries, dining, and live entertainment in the pubs at night.
This is an artist's city, therefore galleries are scattered throughout, especially in the Historic District, the heart of Savannah. Chroma Gallery has been voted Best Gallery for the past three years and it is easy to see why. They carry great regional and local artists. Gallery 209 has beautiful work including city scenes that you may want to take home with you to never forget the charm of Savannah. For incredible photography art, be sure to visit the Jack Leigh Gallery. This artist is famous for "The Bird Girl" photo that was chosen to adorn the novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil which is set in Savannah. "The Book" Gift Shop is a quaint little shop. Anything and everything you could possibly want to do with Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and "The Bird Girl." The folks there are extremely knowledgeable and hospitable.
River Street Plaza offers a large variety of boutiques stretched along 9 blocks of waterfront property. For chain stores, the Oglethorpe Mall has over 100 shops and 4 department stores. The art gallery to visit in this area is of course the River Street Art Gallery
No matter what you shopping pleasure is, strolling through this city at a relaxed pace will eventually bring you to a boutique of your taste.

About MIS Quarterly Research Curations
The purpose of MIS Quarterly Research Curations is to identify topics of significant interest to the IS field and other disciplines, identify MISQ articles that make significant contributions to these topics, and provide researchers with easy access to a bundle of MISQ articles on which to further build or extend research. Each curation will include a short summary of the topic and the bundle of MISQ articles related to the topic. It will be accessible from the MISQ web site and will serve as a living document that is updated as new articles related to the topic are published. The MISQ Research Curations initiative will be managed by a Research Curations Editor in close collaboration with the Editor-in-Chief. The Research Curations Editor and the EIC will invite a team of researchers who collectively represent different perspectives related to a topic to develop a curation. The curation will undergo an iterative development process before it is released. Research Curations Editor: Ashley Bush abush @ fsu.edu (Florida State University)
Information Systems (IS) Sourcing is a broad umbrella term that refers to the contracting or delegating of IS- or IT-related work (e.g., an ongoing service or one-off project) to an internal or external entity (a supplier). It encompasses various sourcing models that are typically based on the distinction between ownership (in-house or third party) and location (domestic, nearshore or offshore), as well as online sourcing models. The significance of this topic for the IS discipline is evident in the number of publications that have addressed different aspects of IS sourcing since 1998 when the first two MISQ articles on this topic were published.
Health information technology (health IT) research is conducted at an intriguing intersection between societies, organizations, and consumers. Health IT is defined as "a broad concept that encompasses an array of technologies to store, share, and analyze health information." The rapid increase in adoption and use of health IT since the mid-2000s has afforded considerable research opportunities to evaluate and test existing theories (e.g., Paul and McDaniel Jr 2004) as well as to create and refine new ones (e.g., Gao et al. 2015).
The notions of knowledge and its management have been at the core of the information systems (IS) field almost since its inception. Knowledge has been viewed in several ways in the prior literature, including as a state of mind, an object, a process, access to information, and a capability. A commonly-used definition characterizes knowledge as a justified belief that increases an entity's capacity for effective action (Alavi and Leidner 2001, p. 109). Relatedly, knowledge management (KM) has been defined as a systemic process to acquire, organize, and communicate individual knowledge so that others may make use of it (Beck et al. 2014). Knowledge-management systems (KMSs) support these processes for creating, exchanging, and storing knowledge (Beck et al. 2014), and have been viewed as being either repository-based or network-based (Kankanhalli et al. 2005).
Information systems (IS) use is among the most central constructs in the IS discipline (Straub and del Guidice 2012). It is reported to be the most widely-studied construct in our field (Cordoba et al. 2012), and it is certainly one of the most consequential, for the nature, modalities and extents of information systems use significantly impact outcomes at individual, group, organization, network, society, and country levels.
This curation highlights the 22 articles with a primary focus on information privacy that have been published in MIS Quarterly (see Table 1). Almost all of the definitions of information privacy in these articles have relied on the concept of a data subject's control of information about himself or herself, and we embrace such a definition here: "the ability of the individual to personally control information about one's self" (Awad and Krishnan 2006; Smith et al 1996). Note that Bélanger and Crossler (2011) offered definitions of information privacy concerns (distinct from, but obviously related to, definitions of information privacy itself) at the group, organizational, and societal levels.
Trust is the enabler of social interaction. Although the origins of research on trust traditionally lie outside the Information Systems (IS) domain, the importance of trust for IS research rapidly grew in the late 1990s, and it is still growing with the increasing ubiquity and advancement of technology in organizations, virtual teams, online markets, and user-technology interactions.
The security of digital assets has grown from being the concern of a few technologists to an issue that impacts society at large in virtually every sector, including government, business, and healthcare. This general trend is mirrored in the pages of MIS Quarterly. Although the importance of securing digital assets was recognized as early as the journal's second year of publication (Halloran et al. 1978), research on security was relatively sparse until the last decade which has seen a marked increase of published articles on the topic.

Making citizens vote is not good for democracy. This fine analysis in The Economist points to some of the reasons; it "protects inept politicians and rewards inflammatory ones," for instance. But the article misses a big drawback. Compulsory voting makes the political process centrifugal (polarizing), for fringe candidates begin to get electoral support. This was pointed out by Fred Riggs, a political scientist, in his 1994 paper Problems of Presidentialism.
In the context of India, it is interesting to note that the National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution had, at first, proposed making voting compulsory. But the recommendation was later dropped before the final report. This came to light in a member's note of dissent.
Here's The Economist article…

All went well and now all her contacts calendar etc are gone. Does iTunes backup all that stuff to the address book on the Mac without you going in and specifically ask it to do it like in windows to WAB? Is there any chance I could recover the contacts at least? I did restore from backup and all is the same. Thanks in advance.

There are many structures across the United States that stand as symbols synonymous with the cities or communities in which they are located.
In New York there is the Statue Of Liberty. In Washington D.C., the Washington Monument. San Antonio has the Alamo. And within a small Vernon Parish community called Burr's Ferry, lies the Burr's Ferry Bridge.
Built in 1937, the Burr's Ferry bridge spans the Sabine River between Burr Ferry and Newton County Texas. The two lane bridge acts as the converging point of Louisiana Hwy. 8 and Texas Hwy. 63.
The Louisiana Highway Commission, Texas Highway Department and the U.S. Bureau chose the Parker through truss system for the design of the 1,882 footbridge. The bridge was built by William Horace Williams Company of Fort Mcintosh, Texas.
Its unique design and its age were two reasons why the Burr's Ferry Bridge was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on May 18, 1998.
The Bridge is located where the original ferry was once operated. The ferry was located on the middle branch the Old Beef Trail, which ran from Alexandria to Huntsville, Texas.
The ferry remained in operation until the bridge was built in 1937.
In March of 2016 the bridge's future was in jeopardy after it was damaged by severe flooding in the area. For nearly a year it was closed due to the damage.
Both the states of Louisiana and Texas proposed that the bridge be torn down and replaced by a new one. This idea left the small community of Burr Ferry heartbroken.
The bridge, however, was able to be repaired and saved. It was reopened to traffic on January 7, 2017, after receiving an estimated $5 million dollars in repairs.
With its aged steel girders and low clearance of 12-feet-8-inches, it is one of the prized structures of Vernon Parish and certainly the prized landmark of Burr Ferry.

It is often a lonely endeavor for artists, even those who have college degrees, to map a successful journey through the art industry. This is the result of art departments facilitating art practices without producing viable workers; of archaic perspectives that do not classify many art practices as work; and of elitism in labor practices in the arts.
This week I spoke with professional artist Brent Fogt (MSFS '85) in Chicago about his experiences in academics and the arts. Fogt's story highlights the need for educational and professional programs that can help artists identify and pursue potential employment opportunities.
After graduating from Georgetown, Fogt worked at the US Department of Commerce under the Presidential Management Internship program. While working there, he began spending lunch breaks at various D.C. museums that were walking distance from his office. This unstructured exposure to art institutions eventually inspired him to shift focus from political science to the arts.
Fogt attained his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1997 from the University of Texas College of Fine Arts. He appreciated how the program exposed him to art history in addition to studio practices. Georgetown also recognizes the importance of both fields and merged the two disciplines in 2007, creating today's Art & Art History Department.
Fogt subsequently pursued graduate studies at the University of Michigan's Stamps School of Art and Design. His practice then took him to Jackson, Miss., as an Assistant Professor of Art at Millsaps College, and in 2010, he moved to Chicago.
The 21st century art world does not have clearly defined paths to employment, similar to disciplines like political science. Fogt and his classmates in the arts were encouraged to be entrepreneurial in order to succeed, even if that meant engaging with the work force outside of the arts.
Many university art departments do not describe themselves as pre-professional programs. Though they might include professional development components, many prefer to stay inside the ivory tower to facilitate individual insights and discoveries without the confines of social or financial realities.
This choice offers several advantages. First, creative practices benefit from an intellectual environment not shaped or evaluated by deliverables or political trends. Second, students need to establish a minimum level of personal awareness and priorities before accurately identifying their roles in the industry at large.
However, the confines of the ivory tower also impose certain limitations. The arts are one of many sectors in the economy where readily accessible paths to sustainable long-term work opportunities are both few and elusive. Even superlative academic training often leaves artists to independently build a functional career. The reality is that many give up.
This is not an efficient model. Resources are used to train and prepare people in the arts but not how to work in the arts. This problem is compounded by a cultural resistance to recognizing artists as workers and art as something of communal value. It would help if artists and academics worked to replace that narrative with one that duly places the arts alongside other professions that effect political, economic, social and communal lives and institutions.
One way to achieve this is to balance the ivory-tower environment with real-life training. Education for some professions already works this way. Pre-law and pre-medical programs pair classroom instruction with internships and residencies to facilitate the transition from the classroom to the workplace. Art departments should develop a version of this model.
Transitioning from the classroom to a job in the arts, however, hinges on a broader cultural recognition of the artist as a worker. Current econometrics fails to classify many art practices as labor, reflecting choices and traditions that need to be challenged.
For instance, gross domestic product growth typically infers improved well-being. However, treating victims of a train wreck or health problems caused by urban pollution increases GDP, without prompting a celebration of train wrecks or health problems. Artists are among numerous labor groups undervalued because excessive reliance on neo-liberal econometrics distorts the perceived value of their work.
Sustainable work options for artists are also limited because of the art industry's winner-take-all mindset. Other industries, sports for example, also often reward only the most famous or highest-achieving. Though the quality difference between some artists' work might be negligible, the difference in income or financial stability might be colossal. To redress this inequality will require a broad cultural shift from elitist to democratic practices and, again, the experts — artists and academics — should shape the campaign.
Fogt appreciates his time as a student of the arts because it pushed his work to new levels and taught him the value of being entrepreneurial in the 21st century art economy. He assesses himself by using both external and internal criteria. He considers participation in exhibitions, residencies and workshops as confirmation of his status as a professional artist. He also considers it affirming when working on his art brings him joy.
Fogt started a BOLT studio art residency at the Chicago Artists Coalition this July. This yearlong residency will allow Fogt to create new works and expose him to local critics and curators, as well as the work and processes of the other residents. This exposure will advance both his production as an artist and his career as a worker. Programs like these are important for helping those who work in the arts to find viable options for employment.

Wearing the same combination throughout your training routine can be nowhere near beneficial as you may think. Every type of physical activity you involve yourself in, will in some way demand something different from yourself and from what you are wearing.
Variety is key to getting your levels of performance up and adding something different into your workout wardrobe. Below we have listed some stylish workout wear you need for different types of activity you will be doing!
Basketball continues to be one of the major sports in the world and works your body in different ways when practising it.
It is most definitely a sport that continues to look a lot easier than it actually is, especially as the pros make it look so easy. When it comes to your own basketball game, with practice it will pick up however, there are things you will need to look the part.
Look for mesh shorts that come down to the knee and pair it with a jersey or even a plain tee, just to ensure your colours match.
You can finish off your basketball outfit with the classic Nike Jordans or alternatively, look out for thick heeled trainers to help with the constant demands of the game.
Weight Lifting
You will see a lot of people in a lot of different outfits when they throw around some weights at the gym, however, it does not always mean they are best prepared.
Wearing anything to the gym can seem like a good idea, especially as you are drenched in sweat, however, the reality of it is not so great. Dry fits are always perfect for the gym, especially as it gives your body the opportunity to breathe when it is put through the vigorous process.
With the ever changing trends in fashion, you can easily confuse the ordinary joggers for gym joggers and it will not get you the best results. Look for brands like Under Armour that test their products to ensure that they are perfect when you wear them to the gym.
The same principle should be applied to any outerwear you look into and of course the t-shirt that you wear. Ordinary t-shirts are made from different materials and can often not help your body breathe when you begin to sweat.
No matter what level of football you play at, you should always have some form of football gear.
There are a number of colours you can choose from in regards to football, especially as different brands have taken on the football market. It will help you keep comfortable and will prepare you from any potential collisions there could be in the sport.
Again, there are brands such as Nike, adidas and New Balance that have created dry fit styles and muscle fits helping you breathe and participate in the sports without the need for constant adjustments, making you feel as comfortable as possible.
We finish the selection off with one of the toughest exercises you could possibly do, yoga. Yoga works muscles that you may not have exercised in a very long time.
Whether you are doing it religiously or you are doing for the first time your body and your clothes need to be prepared for what yoga is about to put you through. Yoga is about expression so look for something as comfortable as possible and style to stay away from tighter fits.
The looser the fitting, the more flexible you'll be. Nike, Reebok and Sweaty Betty all offer different fittings and shapes so that you feel comfortable as you are holding positions for an extended amount of time.

It's time for the next book review of the month, and this is what I read in April, along with Divergent review that I already posted. Read that here: http://mydaisychaincloset.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/book-review-divergent-by-veronica-roth.html .
So after I read Divergent, I had to read Insurgent. Unlike the Hunger Games, when I read the first book I had to read on. I was sad after the first book and didn't want the second book to be a let down and it wasn't.
When reading Insurgent, by Veronica Roth, the original book began to feel so simple and basic, as the second book is a little more complicated.
Insurgent was such a good read, and again I had to force myself to obey limited reading rules and force myself to put the book down. There are so many emotions in this book; grief, anger, nerves, confusion and happiness, just some of them. This means you stay hooked, and even with a more complicated storyline, you will be absorbed.
One thing this book is filled of it plot twists. Throughout the book the plot will suddenly change and leave you guessing what will be it's future. Veronica Roth is such an amazing writer, and uses plot twists to leave you constantly surprised anf shocked! This is a brilliant ability that she implicates in every page, and I would bet that no-one at any point in this book could guess its end!
If you haven't yet read Divergent, PLEASE DO, as I'm sure you will love it. Don't be scared by the fact it is a trilogy, and don't be put off of you have already watched the film- this book is incredible and is the next big thing, so don't miss out!
Please tell me down bellow what you think of my review, and any thoughts you have of Insurgent!
I also have read Allegiant, by Veronica Roth, the final book. This does not have the same gripping plotline as the others but holds the same, if not more, deeply moving ideas and words that feel so important to the way we live. The ending if unpredictable and although I have never cried at a book, I have never been so emotionally touched- to the point that I was nearly shaking. I loved this book, and the whole series, as I think it has taught me important lessons and has provoked thoughts that let me see this world in different eyes. Life is valuable, and through all obstacles we must find a way to be brave- to show the dauntless in ourselves.
I have great respect for Veronica Roth, she has bravery and knowledge, honesty, peacefulness and selflessness as well as every other possible aptitude. She has put a powerful story into the world, a touching romance but also deeply moving ideas and important life messages. She not relise that, in the hype her books are getting (which they do diserve), that they matter to the people that read them. I hope one day she can feel my gratefulness, as she is an incredible woman.
Please read the Divergent series, it is the best book and series of books I have ever read. It gives you fantasy and love, romance and guidance, and so many more things. It is a wonderful book.
Thank you,

HMUN Frequently Asked Questions
Application and Registration
Who is eligible to apply for the conference?
We cordially invite high school students from all across the world to apply, either as delegations or individual delegates, to participate in Harvard Model United Nations.
When is registration?
Our registration opened at 12:01 AM EST on May 1st, 2017 and closed at 11:59 PM EST on October 4th, 2017.
What is priority registration?
The priority registration runs from May 1st, 2017 to May 31st, 2017. Applying under priority registration does not guarantee you a spot in the conference nor does it guarantee you your preferred country assignment, but it does show a high level of commitment which we will take into consideration when accepting delegations.
When are priority registration decisions released?
The decisions are released fourteen days after the end of the application period for Priority Registration I. After this, the acceptance process is done by rolling admissions.
Where can I access the registration application?
Please click here to access MUNBase, our registration portal.
What is MUNBase?
MUNBase is the online website where delegations apply, check the status of their application, submit delegate names, submit position papers, and check the status of their payments. Delegations create a MUNBase profile as part of their application.
How do I apply for financial aid?
A detailed instructional video about the financial aid application can be found here.
What happens if I don't register on time?
Our registration closes at 11:59 PM EST on October 4th 2017, and thus, any delegations that apply after that time will not be considered in our decision-making process.
What happens if I cannot submit documents on time?
Normally, late fees are applied to anything submitted after its deadline. However, if there are extenuating circumstances, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com detailing your situation before the deadline if possible and we will do our best to consider an extension.
I am a college student, can I apply?
HMUN is a conference for current high school students only. However, college students are encouraged to apply to our sister conference, Harvard National Model United Nations.
I am a highschool student. Can I come to HMUN by myself?
Students can apply as individual delegates, but must do so with a faculty advisor of some sort. All high school students must travel with a faculty advisor to the conference.
Can I staff HMUN?
Our HMUN conferences are staffed exclusively by Harvard undergraduate students.
I have no MUN experience; should I apply?
All high school students, regardless of MUN experience, are highly encouraged to apply to HMUN. There will be training sessions at the start of conference to cater to first time or new MUN competitors. We invite all delegates of all levels of MUN experience to come together in this learning experience.
When are decisions released?
After the first round of priority registration admissions, decisions are released on a rolling basis. More information on our schedule can be found on our information page.
I don't like the country I have been assigned/ I was assigned a country I did not put in my preferences, can I change it?
When considering country assignments, we do our best to assign delegations their preferred countries; however, because of the sheer number of applications we receive each year, this is often not possible. That being said, we do keep a list of high schools that would prefer to represent a different country than the one they have been assigned; should a delegation drop out of the conference, we may be able to accommodate some of those requests. If you would like to be added to this list, please email us at email@example.com to let us know.
Waitlist Process
I have been placed on the waitlist, what next?
HMUN will notify schools placed on the waitlist when another school has dropped out and a suitable spot opens. However, if you would like to be taken off the waitlist for our conference or it became too late for you to be able to attend conference in the event of you being accepted, email us at email@example.com.
Will I definitely get a spot later if I am on the waitlist?
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee all schools on the waitlist will get a spot in our final conference.
When will I be notified that I got off the waitlist?
Some schools drop out as late as November or December and thus we cannot definitely say when you will be notified of the final decision.
Committees and Structure
What type of committees does HMUN offer?
HMUN offers three different kinds of committee: General Assemblies (GA). Economic and Social Councils and Regional Bodies (ECOSOC), and Specialized Agencies (SA). These committees differ in both size and procedure; generally, GA committees are the largest and most structured, followed by ECOSOC committees, and finally the smaller crisis committees of the SA.
What is the difference between applying for GA/ECOSOC and SA?
Applications to the Specialized Agencies also contain an additional individual application process. Please contact email@example.com with any questions about the individual application process.
What is a crisis committee?
While their format may differ from committee to committee, these tend to be smaller committees featuring live news updates (crisis updates) that can react to the committee's actions and create a more immersive simulation. Crisis committees do not pass resolutions, but instead directives (which are shorter than resolutions and concern only concrete actions), as well as communiqués (which represent formal messages through diplomatic channels), and press releases (which are public announcements on behalf of the committee). Crisis committees are often national cabinets or other advisory councils endowed with power, meaning that delegates typically represent individual characters rather than organizations. These individuals often have personal connections and so-called "portfolio powers" that delegates are encouraged to use to advance both the committee's agenda and their own.
Where can I find a list of all the SA committees?
A list of all Specialized Agency committees can be found here.
Who do I contact for payment questions?
Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com with any inquiries about payments or MUNBase.
How much are the late fees?
The late fees are as follows:
- 35 USD for school fees paid past the deadline (October 11th, 2017)
- 50 USD per school for delegate fees paid past the deadline (November 1st, 2017)
- 50 USD for delegate names and liability waivers submitted past the deadline (November 8th, 2017)
How can I send payments to HMUN?
Delegations can send money to HMUN by wire transfer. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more payment details.
When are payments to HMUN due?
Please refer to our Timeline and Schedule page for a full list of dates and deadlines.
Further Requirements
What is a liability waiver?
A liability waiver is a form that outlines our security rules for the conference and regulations of the hotel. The Liability Release Form is required for participation in HMUN and must by submitted by Wednesday, November 8, 2017.
Why do I need to submit a liability waiver?
Liability waivers are required from all delegates and faculty advisors to participate in conference. This affirms that you have read and agree to the security rules for conference and the regulations of the hotel.
Where can I find the liability waivers?
The liability waiver form can be found here.
When do I need to submit the liability waivers by?
Liability waivers need to be submitted by Wednesday, November 8, 2017.
How do you support visa obtaining processes?
HMUN provides a visa letter for delegates and faculty advisors that are attending. HMUN does not work directly with the U.S. embassy to supply visas, you must go to your U.S. embassy and submit the required documents to obtain a visa.
How can I obtain a visa letter from you?
If you need a visa letter email email@example.com and provide the names of the delegates and faculty advisor that are applying for a visa.
Can I add more delegates after I have been accepted?
Each delegation has a maximum number of delegates that can attend conference. You can only add more delegates so long as you do not exceed the maximum number of delegates that you have been assigned.
Can I bring fewer delegates than the number I was given?

What is the deadline for submitting position papers?
Position papers are due on January 16, 2018. Please see our timeline page for a more complete list of deadlines.
Does HMUN guarantee accommodation?

It is not mandatory for delegates to stay in the Sheraton or the Marriott; however, we do encourage delegates to stay in close proximity to the conference.

Here is a painting by Terra Bajraghosa- one of the finalists for the Soverign Art Foundation Asia prize. The prize entry is below, one of the other works is above. See my earlier post on this prize here.
|2006 –
Hebson makes several specific types of art work, most recently: intense, romantic and darkly atmospheric seascapes and shipwrecks. She also does some portraits…. see below!!
Born in 1974 in Romsey, UK, Hebson studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and The Royal Academy of Arts, both in London. Currently the Artist in Residence at Durham Cathedral, she was also awarded a Derek Hill Foundation Scholarship earlier this year and spent three months studying at The British School at Rome. Hebson has exhibited internationally and was selected for this year's Jerwood Contemporary Painters exhibition. She has previously been the recipient of an Arts Council Award and Duveen Woman Artist Award. For the last four years, she has lived and worked in Berlin where her love of middle European writers has developed.
Hebson commented:"I am absolutely ecstatic to be awarded the Sovereign European Art Prize, especially by such a distinguished panel of judges, whom I can't thank enough. My painting of a shipwreck does appear quite prescient in the light of recent events! However I was genuinely surprised to hear that I had won with such a dark and romantic image. This award is, for me, the icing on the cake in a year of unprecedented experiences and I would like to thank all those who have supported me in getting this far. "
Th winning picture is very gloomy and melancholic, her main inspirations are mostly art historical.
See here for nadia's website. I personally prefer her portraits, but perhaps I would given that I run a bespoke portrait painting business.!
See here for my previous post about the sovereign art prize.
News- The finalists of the 2008 Sovereign Asian Art Prize will be auctioned at a charity dinner on Wednesday the 29th October at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Hong Kong.
!!newly updated!! Click here to see my other posts on some of the 2008 entrants, artist Suroso Isor, Terra Bajraghosa, Robert Langenegger.
Now, Here are some works by previous winner, UTTAPORN NIMMALAIKAEW.
Its not cheap at HK$25,000 for a table of ten or HK$2,500 for single tickets, but will be an incredible evening for those who can go!
If you are cant't afford this, or don't have the time to attend the 29th October but still wish to place a bid on one of the 30 artworks, its still possible to place a bid on the 30 artworks.
You are able to view all the 30 artworks who are finalists for the Sovereign Asian Art prize, here.
To see the exhibition in person, you can preview them at the Landmark on 21st- 26th October, but you can only see them if you could be interested in placing a bid! For a personal preview of the paintings please contact the organisers on +852 2542 1177.
Okay, so I cant afford to buy anything! But I still enjoyed looking at the upcoming art!!
Regarding the previous winner- Nimmalaikaew's works start from a canvas backdrop that is set inside a deep casement, and that is then lightly veiled by multiple layers of thread and netting. The artist paints (as well as prints with an Ink Jet) not only on the canvas but also on the thread and netting in order to create shimmering portraits and figurative scenes. He actually creates a depth of field that goes beyond three-dimensional space. At a thematic level, his present work expresses a deep reverence and love for family.
Nimmalaikaew spoke of his work in an interview with Jonathan Thomson of Asian Art News shortly after being presented with the Sovereign Asia Art Prize at a Hong Kong ceremony:
It took me quite a long time to develop my concept. The layers help represent the complexity of life and relationships and all of the stages of life. The actual technique started with a mosquito net and things seen through the netting. I intentionally draw the threads through the netting and leave them drooping to suggest a life flowing, of aging, and physical degeneration. It is part of my concept that people have to look through my work, not just at it. People have to see my work and experience it…. It is impossible to replicate my work in a photograph.from "Inevitable Cycles," (July/Aug 2006) 16 Asian Art News [Interview of Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew by Jonathan Thomson]

Buckling of Slanted Columnsby Chin-Hao Chang, Assoc. Prof. of Engrg. Mech.; Univ. of Alabama, University, AL,
Serial Information: Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 1974, Vol. 100, Issue 4, Pg. 737-756
Document Type: Journal Paper
A slanted column may represent an inclined member of a truss, a frame, or a meridional element of an axisymmetrically deformable conical shell with rigid edges. Such a structure has a unique constraint condition. A set of nonlinear equations for buckling of elastic slanted columns is derived by the variational method in cooperation with the Lagrange multiplier to deal with the constraint condition. The bifurcation of such columns with simply supported ends is considered along with results obtained from conventional methods. No bifurcation will occur for columns with other end conditions. A set of formulas derived from the linearized eigenvalue method is also presented. The results obtained from the latter are slightly higher than those obtained from the nonlinear theory. The buckling loads may lower further if the change of the inclined angle at the loaded end is taken into consideration during the deformations.
Subject Headings: Buckling | Columns | Deformation (mechanics) | Nonlinear analysis | Bifurcations | Load factors | Trusses | Rigid frames

Home Shop Network, Anand Mahal Road, Surat
I was asked by our friend QUEEN BEA to write a guest column about Men and Home Shopping" in order to get a male perspective on home shopping and the home shopping culture. Shows and vendors I loved disappeared, favorite hosts disappeared, and some of the fun and uniqueness seemed to evaporate. I was the original Home Shopping Empress – launched the program nationally back in 1986 – the company grew from $10 million in sales to over $750 million and my gag order has ended.
The specialty baker is scheduled to be featured on the network several more times through the rest of the year. DeBetta suggests following up every two weeks, but don't be discouraged if months pass without word from the network. Number seven in the last section previewed the QCard, QVC's financing arm to extend credit for their purchases.
Establishing a network (or networks) can lead to more introductions, leads, referrals and productive business exchanges. So admit your crime and tell us what or who convinced you to buy an item on a TV shopping network. Additional Home Shopping Network compliant EDI transactions may also be obtained through DiCentral.
If your customer isn't on our list, we'll work with you to make the connection. No longer seeing eye to eye with Mr. Speer about business or personal matters — Mr. Speer did not share his religious devotion and differed with him on the future of the company — Mr. Paxson left the Home Shopping Network in 1990.
Is a network of leading companies in the world of diversified media, news, and information services. You will not receive any rewards on gift cards, service offerings, warranties and any purchases occurring from bidding on an HSN trademark.

Over the past few weeks, I've gotten to the point where I wanted to just leave Facebook behind.I have a fairly light social media footprint when it comes to Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest. But I do hang out in the Facebook precincts on a fairly regular basis, so fairly regular that my boss has occasionally asked me how I'm enjoying retirement.
Sadly, there has been a lot of vitriol spewed on the pages of friends (and even strangers) who manage to show up in my newsfeed, and I really didn't like the negativity.I would post something fairly innocuous about women, for example, and some wiseacre would make a crack about Sarah Palin.Or, I'd link to one of my columns on the Pope, and I'd have people questioning why I stayed in a church that "protected pedophiles."
The last straw came when I commented about Ben Carson and how much I liked him as a human being, but would probably not vote for him as President. Some woman who we'll call Gloria because that was, in fact, her name, said she could never vote for a racist.
It's hard to actually block someone while you are hitting your IPhone, but I managed to do it.
The following night while lying on my bed and scratching my doggie's tummy with one elbow, I posted an off-the-cuff commentary about an incident that had happened earlier that day. I thought it was a decent "slice of life" mini-essay, clicked "submit" and then went to bed.
When I woke up the next morning, it had been "liked" over a hundred times, along with dozens of comments like "thank you so much for posting this wonderful story" and "please don't leave Facebook Christine, we love your humor and kindness."
Clearly, this was not the comments section on the website of your local newspaper.
By the end of the week, the post had been shared over twenty times and "liked" close to three hundred times.I know that's not a lot by George Takei standards, but for me, it was phenomenal.
It also showed me that people are searching for good things, for reasons to smile, for moments where politics are irrelevant and hating one president or another is simply the sign of a barren imagination and a wizened heart.
So here's that posting, for those of you who are not my Facebook friends:
Tonight, instead of the bus, I treated myself to a cab ride home. My driver wore a turban, and a tired smile. "Where you need to go ma'am?" I said, "just a few miles down the road, not far from the Llanerch Diner." I could have sworn his smile sunk even lower around the sides of his mouth. "OK, ma'am," and he opened the door for me, almost chivalrously, and off we went.
"How are you tonight," he said, in a heavily-accented voice. "I'm fine, just exhausted," I sighed. He said, "You'll be home soon. Just down road."
I asked if he was from Punjab, and he sat up straighter and said, "yes, but I'm a U.S. citizen now." Glad I hadn't told him I was an immigration lawyer, I asked how long he'd been here, and he said, "since 1981."
"Did you ever go back?" I asked. And he shook his head, sadly, and said, "I wanted to go back so many times at the beginning, but I just worked and worked and didn't have time or money." He paused. "Then, I got married, had sons, lots of bills. So no go back."
And then he said, shoulders slightly slumped, "No family there now. Mother and father gone, brother in Dubai, sister dead. No reason to go back. Anyway, this home."
We neared my street.
He asked if I had a family. I said I did, but that my mom had passed away last year. He said that when his mother died, he felt his heart go over the ocean, back to India. Those were his words. He said he wished he hadn't worked so hard, so he could see her one more time.
And there I sat, eyes wet, wondering how in the hell I'd picked this sad cabbie. I'd been tired, yes, but until I walked into his cab, not suicidal.
And we pulled up to my front porch filled with pumpkins and witches and wreaths studded with Candy Corn, and he turned around and said, "Your mum teach you to make pretty home."
And, not telling him that it was my sister who made this magical tableau, I thanked him and gave him a very, very big tip. And the tired cabbie kissed my hand.
We're all fellow travelers. Sometimes tired, sometimes sad, sometimes grateful. The times when gratitude drops into our laps, without warning, are the best.

While not all of our patrons are tourists visiting loved ones or coming to see all that Florida has to offer, we certainly play host to our fair share of people just passing through. On the other hand, the majority of our customers here at Mulligan's Beach House Bar & Grill are locals hailing from any number of towns and cities along the coastline of East Florida. Even folks from Boca Raton and Palm Beach have been known to travel a bit north to one of locations in Stuart, Jensen Beach, Vero Beach, Sebastian, Lauderdale by the Sea, and Lake Worth.
Our point is this; whether you are a tourist or a third-generation, native Floridian, come on by to get some local, fresh seafood, world-class hospitality, and a truly unique atmosphere. We proudly serve the freshest seafood, delicious landfood, choice cocktails, and much more. We even have private dining options with holiday specials, so if you are deciding where you want your business' holiday party to be, consider our variety of locations and select holiday menus!
With that said, let's move onto today's promised topic, wild facts about Florida's many theme parks. We've got same great options to choose from, including Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Seaworld Orlando, Legoland Florida, Busch Gardens Tampa, and many more. Keep reading if you are interested in learning some zany facts, you might just read a few handy secrets that will prove to be useful the next time you head to Orlando…
Interesting Tidbits About Disney World And Universal Studios Florida
- Florida is at sea level. While that might not qualify as "interesting", it is a useful pre-fact, if you will. Disney World's Magic Kingdom has a little-known tunnel system which is used by park employees to get around quickly and discreetly. These underground tunnels, interestingly enough, are actually on sea level. The park is built on top of this ground level, in a coincidental homage to modern Rome.
- This one might surprise you a little bit. If you go to the Magic Kingdom, you might be surprised to see some ash flying around. No, it's probably not from a nearby controlled burn. It's more likely from a deceased person's remains. People just like to be left where they remember being happy, we suppose. Oddly enough, this happens so much that the park has its own vacuum to take care of this occurrence.
- Walt Disney World Resort proper is just about as large as the city limits of San Francisco. However, only 35 percent of the resort's grounds have been developed. The Animal Kingdom alone is over 400 acres in size. It makes sense that it is the resort's biggest theme park.
- Speaking of the Animal Kingdom, there are over 3,000 species of animals in its some 4,000,000 plants and trees. What a habitat!
- Every day, a random family is chosen to be able to stay at the very top of Cinderella's castle in the Magic Kingdom. The apartment was intended to be used for Walt Disney and his family.
- The "Land" pavilion at Epcot Center is used for the growing of some 30 tons of food used by Epcot Center's many restaurants in addition to being a mildly entertaining exhibit!
- Speaking of Epcot, do you know why it is named what it is named? "Epcot" stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. With the dawn of the internet and all that comes with it, we are not sure the powers-that-be understood how daunting of a task keeping this park "futuristic" would actually become.
- Walt Disney World was originally planned to be built in St. Louis, Missouri. The blueprint showed that the plan was to have the park be categorically indoors because of the cold winter months.
- Disney World purchases more fireworks than any other entity in the U.S. save the nation's military itself. We aren't sure why the military is using fireworks, though.
- Gators want to experience the most magical place on earth, too. Some have even been known to join in the fun by taking a dip in Splash Mountain's pool. The whole park is built on a swamp, after all.
- There's a small, half-court basketball court on the top of Matterhorn Mountain. Perhaps you've seen the employees repelling down the mountain in their themed costumes. One of them reportedly got bored and brought the fixins' to build a court up there to help pass the down time.
- Shifting gears a bit, you can check out an actual piece of the Berlin Wall at Universal Studios near the Blue Man Group entrance. It's in a garden behind the Hard Rock Cafe, and isn't something you get to see or touch every day!
- If you've been on The Rip Ride Rockit, you probably noticed that each seat comes complete with a touchscreen you can use to select music to enjoy while you nearly soil yourself during the ascent. But what you might be less familiar with is the fact that you can select a wide array of hidden songs if you hold down the logo on the top of the screen for around 10 seconds. Here's the kicker, though; you need to have a three-digit code to access these songs. Luckily, the folks from the top seafood restaurant in East Florida have you covered with the full list here.
- Always ask to take the tour when you are at Universal Studios. You'll skip the long lines and see some hidden gems while you are at it!
Stop By Mulligan's
No, we aren't located in Orlando. But that doesn't mean we aren't allowed to tell you about how much we love all that our home state has to offer. If you find yourself a bit tuckered out of the theme park experience, we find the ocean serves as a lovely tonic. Combine a waterfront, tropical restaurant with some of the very best seafood you'll find near and far, and you have yourself a dining option you just can't pass up. Stop by our Lake Worth restaurant or another one of our locations very soon! We'd love to host you.

It is part of Kottayam taluk and is 16 km east of Kottayam town.School not listed here include BMM Higher Secondary School and MGM High School, both in Pampady.The PIN given for Vimalambika Public English Medium School is wrong.

Pampady is a 'village panchayat', most of which is rural with the main town having a limited urban look.

HRD minister to design new vision for higher education along with 39 university VCsSeptember 9, 2014
HRD minister Smriti Z Irani will interact with the vice-chancellors of 39 central universities to discuss ministry's new vision on higher education. For this, she will be in a retreat with the VCs in Chandigarh for two days, September 12-13.
Irani already had similar interactions with directors of IITs and IIMs. The minister is likely to stress on greater synergy between higher and school education.
One of the key issues to be discussed will be the report by the AM Pathan committee that had prepared a single legislation to govern all central universities. Currently, each central university is governed by its own Act passed by Parliament. Pathan's report and draft bill was unanimously criticised within the HRD ministry last year. It was felt that the proposed legislation will not only take away the historical character of many universities but will also compromise their autonomy. The bill was also criticized for proposing a tedious process of governance. For instance, it had said the office of chancellor should be abolished and replaced by a Council of VCs (CVCs) to be headed by HRD minister. It had also suggested a separate recruitment board for appointment of teachers and non-academic staff in central universities.
The ministry will also impress VCs about the need to get accreditation from National Assessment and Accreditation Council. Sources said, when it comes to quality, central universities cannot be getting different treatment than private universities.
The retreat will see Irani insist on time-bound implementation of new government's emphasis on technology-enabled higher education. In this regard, implementation of SWAYAM (Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds) programme is high on priority. Under this scheme to be launched on September 25, professors of IITs/IIMs and central universities will offer online courses free. A small fee will be charged in case learner requires a verified certificate. In the first phase, IITs of Bombay, Madras, Guwahati, universities of Delhi, Manipur, Punjab and Banaras Hindu University will be offering varied courses.
National E-Library platform will also be discussed with VCs. E-Library is Irani's pet scheme under which an online portal will be launched to democratize access to knowledge. Top class content from institutions such as NCERT, CBSE, IITs, IIMs and other central universities will be hosted on this platform. Also on the agenda will be the ministry's new UNITE (University Network Initiative to Enhance Education) programme that proposes to make 20 classrooms in 21,000 colleges wi-fi enabled and give 600 universities a full-campus wi-fi Local Area Network.

I am all for things that smell amazing so when I was given this new tousle me softly range I was blown away by how amazing they all smell! Sex Hair, totally sex hair! With tones of wild violet and pomegranate (the scent de jour right now) I just can't get enough of it! I thought the Herbal Essence range called Colour Me Happy smelt amazing, but this is so much better!
This range Left from right is:
-Tousle Me Softly Touchably Soft Shampoo and Conditioner
-Tousle Me Softly Mousse
-Tousle Me Softly Flexible Hold Hairspray
-Tousle Me Softly Tousling Spray Gel
Rather then using a curling iron which I do sometimes do I have another way I like to curl my hair and I have pictures to show you the result too.
In the night before I wash my hair with the Tousle Me Softly Shampoo and Conditioner and whilst hair is still wet I apply a generous amount of Tousle Me Softly Mousse to allow my hair to have some grit the next day and to hold the style.
Then I seperate my hair into down the middle into 2 sides and pull the hair up in 2 tight buns (a la Sailor Moon) (IF I want to go even crazier I can do multiple buns which has tighter curls) and off I pop to sleep. Yes my hair is still wet.
The next morning when I wake up I unravel the buns and gently separate the waves. This is where I spray the Tousle Me Softly Tousling Spray Gel which helps to set the waves and really brings out that amazing smell again.
I then made a deeper side part and once content I finished off with the Tousle Me Softly Flexible Hold Hairspray which doesn't feel to stiff either.
The end result is below:
My Hair in the morning
This next picture is taken when I came home from work in the evening to show you how it holds through a full day of work. My makeup is a little worse for wear though so I apologize…
My hair and makeup in the night time almost 12 hours later….
What these products encourage you to do is to mess up your hair and play with it, scrunch it, the messier the better and with all that confidence from having sexy hair, with it smelling great as well, you will be hot to trot with this range of hair products!
You can buy these products from Priceline and other supermaket and department stores.

You need this: If you like to curl or funk your hair up on a regular basis, you sexy, naughty minx you!

There are many terms that are specific to auto insurance, and they can be confusing. It can really seem hard to understand. This article is designed to help you understand more about your auto insurance coverage. Your car insurance choices will be smarter ones when you are clear on all of the language involved.
Driving Record
Be careful to always maintain a clean driving record. You will be charged a considerable amount more for car insurance if you have traffic tickets or accidents on your driving record. If you already have an accident or tickets on your driving record, you may be able to lower your insurance costs by taking a traffic course.
Your vehicle's make and model is the number one influencing factor on your auto insurance rates. If you want a top of the line, luxurious vehicle, your insurance will be higher. If your goal is to keep your auto insurance costs low, pick something safe and reliable that is sold at a modest price.
Property Damage
When purchasing new auto insurance, you should always be sure you have property damage liability. This type of insurance covers any property damage your car does during an accident. Forty-seven states require this by law. You can save money if you have coverage on property damage.
Replace your high-performance car with a simpler, less costly one. If you drive a sports car, you can expect to pay a higher policy cost. Low-profile cars are the better option. Those with high performance engines will be expensive to cover because they are involved in more accidents. Also, since sports cars are more often the target of theft, they are more expensive to insure.
Whenever you are requesting a car insurance quote, understand that the annual premiums are not the only thing that matters. Scrutinize the details in different policies so that you are aware of benefit limitations, application specifics of deductibles, coverage minutiae, etc.
Record all offered discounts, and determine which ones you might be able to get. You will be shocked at how you can save on premiums.
Insurance companies are not all alike. You can always shop around to receive competitive quotes from different companies so you can choose the pricing that fits your needs.
If your car is driven a minimal amount of miles each year, let your insurance company know. It could save you money. This makes cutting your driving down a wonderful way to save money.
Some people find it difficult to decide on how much car insurance they need. If you are relatively well off, you should buy more liability coverage. For example, if you have $50,000 of bodily injury liability and $200,000 in personal assets, and you are found to be at fault in an accident, the other party could sue you for the $150,000 in medical bills that are not covered by your policy. A good insurance policy, with appropriate levels of coverage, will more then pay for itself in the event of an accident.
You should consider your monthly insurance payments when you are car shopping. Keep in mind that cars with better safety features get lower premiums. Most sports cars are not considered "safer vehicles". When you are purchasing a car, remember this important fact!
If flaws in your driving record are causing you to pay more for auto insurance, there may be solutions available to you that could lower your rate. In exchange for taking driving lessons and courses after driving infraction your insurance company may give you a lower insurance rate. Other companies, like Progressive, now offer customers the option of temporarily installing a chip into their car which monitors their everyday driving habits; if those habits demonstrate consistently responsible driving, then your rate will be lowered.
You should raise your deductible if you need to save money on a premium. Higher deductibles have a huge impact on how much your insurance costs will be. Understand however, that this is the amount you will pay in the event of an accident. To cover the cost of that accident, having an emergency fund in place will be helpful.
If this article has made the labyrinth of car insurance a little easier to navigate confidently and successfully, it has fulfilled its purpose. Educating yourself about your choices is the best way to conquer your confusion when it comes to auto insurance.

Not every company can handle search engine optimization on its own, and may choose to outsource such needs instead. This is a perfectly reasonable way of doing things, and spares the client the need of having to front up cash and time to establish their own team. SEO outsourcing providers handle the task the client needs them to for a price, speeding up the process. However, there are times when even the service provider that the client has chosen has to outsource those tasks themselves. This is what is known as white label SEO.
What is this?
White label SEO is normally recognized as a variation on the value added reseller (VAR) distribution model. This means that a company purchases the service package from a small provider and markets these services as their own, with their labels and brand name and reputation. The actual provider is entirely invisible to any clients, and all correspondence and reports are held in the strictest confidentiality. Any communication that the provider has with the client must either pass through the outsourcing companies or have the information and logo of the reseller.
Why do this?
One of the claimed advantages of this is that the relationship with the client lies solely with the reseller. If the SEO outsourcing provider finds that the work being done is not up to the standards of the client, then the company has the option of simply hiring a different vendor's services. This causes no lapse in the communication between the client and the reseller, since the sub-contracting was not within their association. This also allows medium-sized SEO outsourcing firms to offer their services to larger companies without spending resources on expansion before it is ready to.
Partial expansion
White label SEO is also done by some firms that are looking to expand, but are not yet ready to do so. IT firms that do not initially offer search engine optimization may turn to outsourcing companies to provide those services or act as consultants. This allows a company to build business contacts and clientele for SEO services while biding time to develop their own in-house team. This can also be utilized to handle orders from clients that are simply out of the scope of the reseller's capacity to provide.
White label SEO practices may seem unusual, but they are legitimate and offer companies a few advantages. It is ultimately no different from standard reseller practices, with the exception that the service provider remains unknown to the client company. It can be a useful tool for an expanding company, increasing revenues and expanding clientele.
