Going Green
This post was written by Melanie S. in response to the Day 17 Challenge: Go Green. Be vigilant about limiting your ecological footprint.
In this day and age, attention to the environment is critical; however, many people fail to think about their ecological impact. Carelessly throwing away excess food, plastic, and paper products, the accumulating landfill has certainly taken a toll on the world around us. Many do not realize that recycling, buying fewer consumer products, or even using washable containers in lieu of plastic bags can drastically reduce our ecological footprint on the planet. Let me backtrack a little so you may understand the concept of an ecological footprint. This concept is the amount of human impact on the planet, which is measured individually or as a community. The more eco-friendly an individual is, the smaller footprint that individual has on the environment.
On March 17, St. Paddy's Day, the challenge action was to go green and be vigilant about your ecological footprint. Burlington High School students were encouraged to be aware of their impact on the environment and research environmental scientists who examined the ecological footprint. This day was a more difficult day for me because I already recycle plastic and paper products so I had to think of new and innovative ways to reduce my ecological footprint. I looked up an ecological footprint calculator and began my exploration. As the website asked me questions, I began to realize how simple it was to reduce my impact. For example, buying locally grown foods, eating lower on the food chain, and even starting a compost in my backyard can lower Carbon Dioxide emissions from transporting the products, reduce excess waste from bones and fat, and adding nutrients back into the soil. Other things such as making fresh squeezed fruit instead of buying juice (throwing out the container) and turning off the lights when certain rooms are not in use greatly reduces your environmental impact.
This challenge encouraged thinking outside of the box and being aware of yourself and everything around you, which is something that we learned when reading The Reluctant Fundamentalist. Though this novel does not address environmental issues at all, it does highlight the importance of awareness, of being conscious of your beliefs and behavior, of understanding your impact on the people and places around you. The novel - one that addresses issues of class; echoes Gatsby in its presentation of the dangers of nostalgia; and provides a critical view of racism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, and patriotism - really helped to open our eyes. Thinking about how we develop our beliefs, as well as our habits and behaviors extends beyond the thematic topics of the book. What we do as individuals impacts others. Our actions can make a difference.
The Go Green challenge action was interesting, informative, and beneficial. It served as an important gateway to making the world a better, safer place. More importantly, it prompted thought about how we live and how our decisions affect others.

Hi Melanie! I love that this was the challenge that you were assigned to write about because, as a student of AP Environmental Science his year, I have become much more aware about the impact that my choices have on the environment and ways in which to improve global conditions (as I am sure you have as well). Like you, I already recycle all of my papers and plastics, as well an any other materials possible, in an attempt to reduce the amount of waste that we, as humans, produce daily. I, too, wanted to further aid the environment and this past summer, I decided to cultivate a garden in the hopes of improving atmospheric conditions, even if it was just a little bit. Like you, I want to become more environmentally aware and I think that this challenge does a great job of facilitating that.

Seeing that our environment is slowly deteriorating because of over consumption and emission of hazardous gases, it is great to see that you have found new ways to reduce your ecological footprint. I completely agree with your idea, that we have a tendency to careless throw items away that could be recycled because we are either not paying attention or because it is believed it would not have an impact on the environment. It is interesting to see that some of us are knowledgeable of the environmental impacts our actions can have, yet we continue to do the same actions. Even though I know that everything counts, I have a habit of unintentionally throwing away items that could have been recycled or saved. From this challenge it allowed me to be more aware of what I do and find new ways to also reduce my ecological footprint.

I feel like in the past week or two, I really haven't gotten to read anything for fun At All, which is not a shocker because studying for tests takes all of your time. Some of these books got started while we were on our Derby roadtrip, so that is why they got finished.
That being said, I am really looking forward to MORE summer reading! I spent quite a bit of time last weekend sorting though various reading lists and adding some things to my library holds list.

A new study from Juniper Research has found that adoption of MaaS (Mobility-as-a-Service) platforms will replace more than 2.3 billion urban private car journeys annually by 2023, compared with just 17.6 million globally in 2018. This is equivalent to 18 times the number of taxi journeys across New York in 2016.
Juniper Research defines MaaS as: "Urban transport solutions that are integrated into a single platform by which users can determine the best route and price across several end-to-end travel services and modes, according to real-time data such as traffic conditions, time-of-day and demand."
The new research, Mobility-as-a-Service: Emerging Opportunities, Vendor Strategies & Market Forecasts 2018-2023, found that West Europe will lead MaaS adoption, accounting for 83% of global MaaS trips in 2023.
It found that the success of public-private partnerships, the high quality of transport service provision and positive trial outcomes are major factors for traction in Europe. Conversely, Juniper forecast that the growth of MaaS in the US will be slower, given the highly-fragmented nature of the state and federal system, coupled with lukewarm legislative support for regulating a free market.
Juniper ranked 15 world cities based on their readiness for large-scale MaaS service deployment. Metrics considered included the existing/planned stage of deployment, cohesion of public transport services and infrastructure development. The top 5 ranked cities were:

ESSENCE.COM: You worked with Michael Jackson several times. What do you remember most about him?
CROUCH: Michael was a kind, gentle, soft-spoken, loving and giving person. Michael truly loved performing and sharing his gift with the world. But he was really shy also, especially with new people. Sometimes we would go to the studio and Quincy Jones would be behind the boards and I would ask, "Where is Michael?" He would be hiding in the studio because he knew the choir was coming in. I would always tease Michael about that, but that's just who he was. He was a wonderful person.

In the December 13th research note, analyst Jim Suva highlighted that with over 90% of its cash sitting overseas, a one-time 10% repatriation tax would give Apple $220 billion for M&A or buybacks.
Based on a their screen, using five filters - 1) Strategic fit, 2) Global scale, 3) Transaction size, 4) Few non-strategic assets and 5) Likely impact on Apple's share price - they assigned a 40% chance of a Netflix takeover.
Suva said a hybrid approach to using the cash may be best, with Apple using 1/3rd of its cash to acquire Netflix and 2/3rds of its cash for larger buybacks.
Other potential takeover targets highlighted by Suva (with percentage likelihood) were: Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) (25%), Electronic Arts (NYSE: EA) (10%), Activision (NASDAQ: ATVI) (10%), Take Two (NASDAQ: TTWO) (10%), Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) (5%) and Hulu (0%).

Around the world Scouts are defined by different laws. From the original nine laws published in 1908, each country has adapted, removed and added to the list. Some of these changes were to align them with different political systems, while others were because of tighter or loser affiliations with religious organizations. Even in the UK the Scout Law is a living set of ideas that have changed over time.
On these tabs are examples of Scout Laws from around the world, with key differences examined. As you look at each, think about how your understanding of the Scout Law fits and contrasts with those from other places in the world.

Weight lifting is quite enjoyable if you do it properly and in the safest manner possible. You will love the workout you are getting, the results you are receiving, and the benefits you are reaping due to building muscle. You will first need to come up with an exercise plan that works for you. This article is a great stepping stone to get you on your way.
Always take in enough vegetables. Often, vegetables are overlooked in a muscle building plan, in favor of the emphasis on proteins. There are a lot of important nutrients that are rare in carb- and protein-rich foods but plentiful in vegetables. Vegetables are also rich in fiber. Fiber helps your body to effectively use protein.
You need to make sure you eat plenty of vegetables in order to maintain a healthy diet. Diets that are designed to promote muscle growth typically emphasize protein and complex carbs while placing much less importance on vegetables. Veggies have nutrients that other foods high in carbs and proteins do not. Additionally, they are great sources of fiber. Getting enough fiber means your body will assimilate proteins efficiently.
The bench press, the squat and the deadlift should form the focus of your workout sessions. All of these exercises are thought to be the basis of effective bodybuilding routines, which is true. They have been proven over time to build up strength, increase your bulk and improve conditioning overall. Try to fit some form of these exercises into your workout.
Form is most important. Do not get caught up sacrificing the correct form trying to go faster. It doesn't matter which exercise you perform, slowing down your reps to ensure that your technique is perfect will help you to get better results in a shorter amount of time. Don't rush, and focus on doing each rep with proper form.
Make sure to research the best exercises for increasing muscle mass. There are many different exercising options that are available to muscle builders, including toning multiple groups of muscles at the same time. You need to have a varied muscle workout in order to build up the various muscle groups.
Increasing Muscle Mass
Include carbohydrates in your diet if you wish to build your muscle mass. Your body needs carbs to survive the grueling workouts to which you are subjecting it. Also, if you don't eat sufficient carbohydrates, your body will use protein as an alternative energy source. Having enough carbs will help your body function better and help get you through your workouts.
Wwarming up is vital to your success in increasing muscle mass. The process of increasing muscle mass subjects your muscles to increased stress, which increases the probability of injury. If you warm up, you avoid injuries like these. Don't do any heavy lifting until after you've done some light exercising for five or ten minutes, followed by a few light to moderate sets to get warmed up.
If you do extreme cardio workouts or want to train for a marathon, don't try to build bigger muscles. While doing cardio is great for fitness, too much of it may negate your attempts to build muscle through strength training. Put most of your efforts into strength-training if you wish to grow muscle.
You need lots of protein when building muscle. Protein is essentially what constitutes muscles. If you do not eat enough of it, your body cannot create new muscle tissue. Make sure that two or more of your larger meals, as well as a couple of your daily snacks, contain protein.
Always stretch thoroughly after working out to give your muscles the best chance to repair and grow properly. Holding stretches for thirty seconds will be sufficient for younger exercisers under the age of forty. A person that is over 40 years old needs to hold each stretch for a minimum of sixty seconds. This helps to lessen the chance of injury after you have just worked out.
Make sure you are eating enough carbs to support your muscle-building program. Carbohydrates are crucial for maintaining the necessary amount of energy you will need during your workout routine. If you aren't getting enough carbs, the body ends up breaking down protein and using that for energy. Eating enough carbs can help with your workout.
Eating proteins will help you build your muscles. Protein is a primary building block for muscle. Not consuming enough of it can actually cause your muscles to deteriorate, which ruins your purpose of trying to bulk up in the first place. It's likely that you'll have to consume around one gram of it for every single pound that you weigh every day.
You need to get enough protein if you want to build muscle. A great way to get the proper amount of protein is by consuming supplements and protein shakes. Such beverages are especially useful following exercise and just prior to bedtime. You must consume about one shake a day. To gain muscle mass, try consuming around three per day.
Train opposing muscles while in the same session including your chest and back, or quads and hamstrings. This is a good way to let a muscle rest while you focus on another one. This will allow you to bump up your workout intensity and you won't have to be in the gym as long.
Complete as many repetitions as you can during your workout. Do fifteen lifts at the minimum with a break of a minute or less in between. By doing this, you are letting your lactic acids flow, which in turn, helps muscle growth. Try to do this as much as you can during each session to get the best results.
Ensure that your overall caloric intake is high enough. There are a number of online calculators to help you calculate what your caloric need is, for how much muscle you hope to build. Once you have determined your caloric needs, you need to make sure that you increase your levels of carbohydrates and proteins in proportion to get the maximum benefit.
Don't bother lifting for more than an hour at a time. The body begins to produce more cortisol, a stress hormone, after sixty minutes of working out. Cortisol is a hormone which can block testosterone, wasting the effort you exert in your weight training program. For the best results, only spend 60 minutes or less working out.
Sometimes you may find that some muscle groups are growing less rapidly than others. Doing a "fill set" can help to avoid this problem. This is a set that has about 25 reps a few days after the last workout.
To supplement your muscle development in the gym, make sure your diet includes high protein foods. Protein is one of the primary building blocks of muscle, and eating too little can actually cause you to lose muscle, defeating the purpose of bulking up. Depending on your body weight, each day you may require 1 gram of protein.
Some moves are simply incompatible with too much weight, so be careful. You can risk injuring yourself seriously if you have too much weight on your joints in neck work, dips and split squats. You should use heavy weights for deads, presses, rows and squats instead.
Make sure that you are taking in enough calories each day to achieve muscle growth. There are many online calculators that will help you estimate the number of calories you need to eat each day to gain the desired amount of muscle. Let these tools help you to design the ideal muscle development diet.
Even if you do not relish the concept of being bulky, giving your muscles a good workout can be beneficial to your life, in general. It can increase strength in your body, lungs, joints and even self-esteem.
You must know your limits, but you shouldn't stop doing a set until you've lifted as much as you can. When you plan your routine, you want the final set to take you to exhaustion. If needed, reduce the time you spend on your sets when you get tired.
There's a better way to do your bicep curls. You won't receive the greatest benefit from doing a typical bicep curl because the bar or dumbbell does not move beyond the parallel point. The problem is that the top half of such curls is where you can get the most benefit. You can correct this through the use of seated barbell curls.
15 Grams
Never bypass stretching before a lifting session. Stretching is essential to warming up your muscles and preventing injury, and stretching exercises post-workout can help your muscles relax as they enter the recovery phase. In order to speed up relaxation and shorten your recovery time, you can also add a schedule of massages to your workout routine.
Try consuming a lot of protein before and after exercising in order to increase muscle mass. Try taking in 15 grams within a half hour preceding training and 15 grams following the workout. This is roughly the same amount of protein contained in a glass or two of milk.
Your goal should be to get between 20 and 30 grams of protein from each meal. Spreading out your protein consumption in this way will help to ensure that you are eating enough of this valuable nutrient to help you build muscle effectively. For example, if you need 180 grams of protein per day, consuming six meals at thirty grams of protein per meal will get you that 180 grams you need.
Do not workout more than three or four times each week. Your muscles need time to recover and grow. Working out a lot more than you can handle could injure your body, making it counterproductive in the end.
A well-balanced exercise routine must include a cardio portion. While your cardiovascular routine won't increase muscle mass, it will better prepare your heart for your more strenuous weightlifting routine. Work in a few short cardio routines every week to keep your heart healthy without disrupting your muscle building routine.
Make your bicep curl better. Usually, when doing bicep curls, you don't get a lot of benefits from the upper portion since it is common to fail to move the weight past the point where it becomes parallel. However, the strongest portion of curls is the upper part. Just go ahead and do some seated barbell curls to fix this.
Adults who are looking to build their muscle should look into a supplement called creatine. Creatine has been shown to help you add bulk. Creatine is a leading weight training supplement. If you are not yet done growing, avoid all supplements.
Your short-term goals need to be reasonable if you hope to succeed. If you are hoping to do a three-hundred pound squat before your fourth week is over, you are only setting yourself up for disappointment and possibly an injury! Once you have established a baseline strength, you should strive for modest improvements throughout your regimen. Sometimes, you might surprise yourself and surpass your goals early. Use this as encouragement to keep working out.
When working out to gain muscle, be sure to stretch. Proper stretching can provide multiple benefits to your regimen. It staves off sore muscles so you are able to recover more quickly, meaning you don't miss valuable time at the gym. Plain stretching exercises can also widen range of motion, which can help you during muscle building exercise, as well.
Alternate grips, when possible. To get more strength, use a mixed or staged grip when doing deadlifts and rack pulls. Staggered grips assist you in twisting the bar in one direction, while the underhand grip puts the bar in the opposite direction. This will keep the bar from sliding over your hands.
You should establish a training routine that is adapted to your goals. Performing the same routine on a regular basis may not be the most fun way to exercise, but it does allow you to see how you're doing. As you keep progressing, additional exercises can be added or you could change an exercise if you become bored.
You'll feel better and happier than you ever have if you have a healthy body, and the goal of building muscle can help you become healthier. When you combine cardiovascular exercises with weight training, you can achieve your results in less time than by doing cardio exercises on their own. Pair them up and workout often and you'll see changes in no time!
When you encounter pain during a workout, stop! Tendons and muscles are very fragile, and you should never push these to the limit for the sake of gaining muscle. Sore muscles require rest, so give each muscle group a break from workouts.

Open almost 46 years and Northside Shopping Centre has never looked better. That is thanks to it's latest make-over that officially launched on Saturday September 10. The famous shopping centre first announced plans of its facelift back in 2013.
From then until now the centre has gone through a massive rejuvenation both internally and externally. The project has created 300 jobs in the process and cost €5m. This is the most significant revamp since its last bit of construction in 1988.
The centre holds a special place in the hearts of the local community. It is seen as a community retail centre, so the motto of this revamp perfectly sums up the project as "A new face, with the same heart".
We hope to welcome you all to the new look Northside Shopping Centre very soon.

Countries list API
Created: Last updated:
If you have a web application and need a list with countries on a regular basis for your website you might be wondering if you can hook into this website through an API (application programming interface) and query the data.
Limited API availabele
I am working on a RESTful interface right now and so far it works great with about a few methods. It may need a couple more methods but I am little busy working on other things.
Currently the API only supports the REST architecture and is not fully documented to properly explain how to the data in various ways. The return lists are in XML format.
You can access the API with the /api link which will have a brief overview for how to use the API. Again this may not some more work but if you are familiar with REST you should be able to figure it out. Note that the parameters currently have to be GET requests.
Anyway. Your best bet is getting the source code and install it yourself, though. I understand that if you don't use PHP this will not be an option for you.
Where can I get the source code
See the other FAQ page Where can I get the source code for how to code. The data is pretty static for one reason and if you pull the data directly into your website I cannot guarantee in any way or form that the website is up and running not to mention that the response times are anyway near what you need.
What about libcurl or cURL
You can certainly sent POST requests directly to this website like the form does with libcurl/cURL [Wikipedia] or other forms or programming interface. I currently don't have any constrains on IP addresses or other measures to prevent this kind of requests but this might change if I see a large increase in request hurting the overall performance of the website.
In such a case I will consider setting up a dedicated link and server and this might happen without further notice as long as I don't know who to inform. As of now I don't have any plans and a timetable for this.
How can we contact you
If you have a desperate desire to get the data through an API or need help with the source code installation please use the Contact Form and drop me a note.

These easy and simple Gluten Free Biscuits are a gluten free version of my mom's biscuits. These buttery, flaky, fluffy gluten free biscuits are everything you want in a biscuit!
pin this recipe to your gluten free recipes board
My mom has always made the best biscuits ever. They're flaky, they've got a little bit of crunch to the bottom and they taste amazing.
No, they're not southern biscuits. We're New Englanders so you won't find a southern biscuit here. But these do not disappoint.
However, when my mom went gluten-free a few years ago, she stopped making these biscuits. Basically, she was punishing us. Just kidding.
She really did stop making them, just not to punish us. I'm just a tad bit dramatic…These days, she'll occasionally make her regular version of them for us gluten-eaters and she uses a gluten free box mix to make biscuits for herself and my husband.
But, since Adam missed mom mom's regular biscuits so much, I've started using her recipe to make them gluten-free.
One of the keys to good gluten free biscuits is properly measuring the flour. I know technically, I should be weighing the flour but I don't actually have a digital kitchen scale so I use measuring cups.
Plus, based on my reader survey, you guys all seem to be using many different flour mixes so giving a measurement by weight would be pointless unless you used my exact flour blend (see below for the one I use).
Before measuring my flour for any recipe, I give the flour a quick stir. Then I spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge, like the back of a knife or the handle of the spoon I used for scooping.
That way, I'm not using too much flour. USING TOO MUCH FLOUR WILL MAKE THESE BISCUITS DENSE.
I must say, I've had the best results with these gluten free biscuits when I use my Brown Rice Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend. I've tried them with white rice flour blends and they're not nearly as good.
The white rice flour is heavier than brown rice flour and it makes the biscuits a bit heavier and more dense, even if you measure the flour properly.
Another key to getting that beautiful flaky separation in these biscuits is chilling the dough after you cut them. Once I cut out all the biscuits, I place them on the baking sheet and put the whole sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking. I've added that to the notes in the recipe as this is a new and improved step!
These gluten free biscuits are great as a bread product with dinner but I have an equal amount of love for them for breakfast. I love warming them up with a bit of butter and some honey or jam. De-licious.
They also freeze really well so if you've got extras, stick in the freezer and then reheat them by wrapping them in aluminum foil and heating them in the oven.
Craving gluten free biscuits and gravy? Try it with these! I've also got a great sausage recipe that would be great to make a gluten free biscuit sandwich with!
So you guys can get rid of your boxed gluten-free biscuit mixes now (ahem… mom…) and give this recipe a try. It's easy and the results are great! For a gluten free drop biscuit recipe, check out my Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake – I use this base recipe and add a bit more milk. They're just as fantastic!
(click here to get my recipe for amazing Gluten Free Dinner Rolls)
For gluten free dairy free biscuits, I use Nutiva palm shortening and unsweetened coconut milk. You can also read through the comments and see what others have tried when making these dairy free. Enjoy!
Bonus – Be sure to watch the video below to see just how easy these are to make! You can also watch the video on Facebook where you can easily share it with your friends and family!

What are the Best Debt Consolidation Companies in Alva OK
Who has the best Alva debt consolidation services?
Alva consolidation services offer a way of taking multiple debts and taking them all and wrapping them together into one payment. So if you have 5 different Alva loans, each with a different interest rate and length, a Alva debt consolidation loan will pay these off and then you will be left with one Alva loan with a total on the loan of all the paid off loans. The best part is that these types of Alva consolidation loans typically have lower interest rates than the ones you are getting rid of.
What is the best place in Oklahoma to find Alva credit consolidation lenders?
Search online for the best debt consolidation lenders in Alva OK. The reason the best place to find Alva debt consolidation lenders in Oklahoma is because you will be able to find the right Alva lender for you. Your local Alva banks may not specialize in the right Alva consolidation loans for you or have Oklahoma lending standards that are too stringent. By searching for the best Oklahoma debt consolidation loans online, you can assure yourself of getting the right Alva loan.
More On Debt Consolidation Loans in Alva OK
As I said above, prior to the credit crunch we had basically "easy money" whereby the Alva banks were encouraged to lend to pretty much anyone in Oklahoma with a pulse. As the economy tanked and their Alva debts mounted, a large portion of these people who got easy credit are now looking for Alva credit card consolidation programs. These Alva loans can be obtained but they are just like any other Alva loan. Your Oklahoma credit rating, your ability to repay the Alva loan, an availability of collateral to secure the loan and the current Alva bank policies on Oklahoma lending will determine if you get a Alva consolidation loan or not.
Where Is The Best Alva Loan Consolidation Service?
As I discussed above, the typical Alva loan consolidation service usually has a lower interest rate than the standard Oklahoma loan that is putting you in the poor house. Be aware that just because you are in trouble with your Alva monthly payments, does not mean that you will automatically get Alva loan consolidation.
Where Can I find The Best Alva Debt Consolidation Help?
I spoke of collateral before and this is a big aspect of why Alva debt consolidation lenders may give you Alva loan consolidation. Unsecured Alva loans are the riskiest loans to give by a Oklahoma lender. This is because if the Alva loan is defaulted on, the bank cannot get the money back. By requiring collateral to provide security on a loan (as some Alva banks do for Alva debt consolidation loans) the bank reduces their risk for the loan. A secured Alva loan allows the lender to offer the loan to you and then to offer the Alva loan at a reduced interest rate. Be careful to make sure you pay off the Alva credit card consolidation loan on time. If you were required to put up collateral and you default, the Alva bank will take that collateral as a way to recoup their loss.

So recently there have been a few products that have been playing on my mind recently and thought I would share them with you. These are a few of the products which are currently on my September wishlist, which I really want to try and most importantly buy, some are new releases others have been out a while!
I'm not sure if any of you are interested but I thought I would share with you, in hope some of you can maybe give me any advice/ reviews on these products and if they are worth the money.
1. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder 'Diffused Light' £40
- Captures, diffuses and softens the way light reflects on your skin
- Utilizes cutting-edge photo-luminescent technology—transparent micron-size, color correcting particles—to alter and refine the appearance of the complexion
- Delivers a multi-dimensional luminescence to every skin tone, making it appear younger, unlike traditional powders, which simply sit on the skin to cover imperfections
- Free of parabens, talc, fragrance, nano-particles and gluten
Reading the above with a 4/5 Star rating on Space NK, its hard to not want this dreamy powder!
2. Lancôme Teint Idole Cushion Foundation '010' £30
'"Thanks to Teint Idole Ultra's cushion technology, Lancôme introduces its first full-coverage, compact and refillable liquid cushion foundation. The lightweight and refreshing makeup instantly brightens skin and gives a flawless and velvety-looking complexion. The puff applicator provides even and buffered dosage for high coverage and long-lasting hold."'I LOVE the Teint Idole Liquid Foundation, its such a buildable, flawless coverage foundation which lasts all day, however its not very good for travelling on the go and not ideal for touching up out of the house as its rather a risky mess with a brush and glass bottle.So no surprise I need (meh, want then) to try out the originals little sister! This one has an incredible 5 star on the Lancôme website also (Eek!)
'"Vibrancy and freshness of a liquid blush in a portable cushion. This new blusher cushion instantly refreshes by bringing vibrant colour to your cheeks. Choose the intensity you want and apply with the mini puff applicator. Lancôme Blush has never been so fun!"'
'"Colour correcting, wrinkle reducing, and dark spot defying – talk about a miracle product! Create a perfect canvas for foundation application and even out skin tone with this silky, lightweight blend of antioxidants and vitamins A & E. The formula helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores for visibly softer, younger-looking skin"'.I'm really suffering with a lot of redness around my chin around at the moment, more than ever before so really on the look out for the right product to counteract against the red, this looks ideal.
'"Effortlessly sculpt, chisel, shape, and slenderize your features for enhanced definition. Unlike traditional bronzing powders, the Shade + Light Contour Palette is loaded with a unique selection of matte shades that capture the true hues of shadow and light. The three contour shades create realistic shadows to recede facial features, while the three highlight shades impart a soft luminosity to amplify dimension"'.

Are there multiple viewing options in the portal?
While viewing a broadcast on a tablet or computer, you will see either 2 or 3 icons at the right of the event description bar near the top of the portal. The first icon provides a "full view" option with the video presentation maximizing the portal. The second icon offers a split view and is helpful if the client is utilizing any other features, such as Twitter feeds or live stats updates. If you're watching a live sporting event and the client has live stats available, the third icon offers a "stats heavy" window with rich statistical information and a minimized video or audio player. Additionally, you can watch up to four events simultaneously in the portal by clicking on any of the view icons at the bottom of the video player, and selecting another available event.

If you're attempting to watch a live or on-demand event that is free, you generally will not be required to create an account or sign in. For live events, simply click on the "Watch" or "Listen" icon and you'll be redirected immediately to the portal page for the event. If the portal is set up on a pay-per-view or pay-per-listen basis, you will be required to register or sign-in, and you'll be guided through the steps after clicking on the icon for any event.
Why am I experiencing low-quality audio or video?
If you're experiencing video or audio playback that skips, freezes or buffers, please ensure you have sufficient bandwidth and computer resources available. Buffering can also occur if there are connection issues on-site. If you're not experiencing video or audio playback issues, but encountering other issues, such as pixellated video or distorted audio, there are very likely issues at the originating site. We work proactively with our partners to address these issues and are generally able to resolve them in a timely manner, but certain conditions are outside our control. Please click the "Submit Support Request" link inside the "Help" tab if you need assistance addressing issues.

Are the live broadcasts available for archived viewing?
Archived broadcasts will be available in the "On Demand" tab of the portal. Keep in mind that our staff manually edits and prepares the archives for most audio-only events before they are posted to the portal, so please allow up to 72 hours or more for those to become available. Video archives are generally available almost immediately following the event. Keep in mind that many clients choose not to archive some or all of their events, or choose to password-protect their archives. If you are asked for a password prompt, please contact the client directly if you're like to request access.
Who do I contact with a complaint about the broadcast production?
If you don't have any issues with the audio or video playback, but have a complaint about an element of the production, you can use the "Submit Support Request" link inside the "Help" tab.

Our live stats modules utilize XML code generated by the software used by the majority of colleges and universities. However, the only sports that include live stats output are soccer, field hockey, volleyball, basketball, ice hockey, baseball, softball and lacrosse. Additionally, some schools choose not to utilize our live stats service, while others only provide live stats for home games, and that can also be contingent on the availability of a high-speed Internet connection.

Streaming traffic uses a different protocol and transfer mechanism than live stats, so it's virtually impossible to guarantee a perfect sync between the two. Also keep in mind that the stats might not be entered immediately on site, which can result in delays in the live stats. If the on-site stats computer is experiencing technical difficulties, the live stats will not update. We contact our schools when the stats have not been updated for 5 or more minutes, but you're also welcome to contact us using the support link if you think there might be an issue.
How do I purchase an passport to access an event?
You can follow these steps to purchase a passport:
1) On the portal landing page, click on the appropriate watch or listen icon next to the broadcast you're interested in
2) Select the passport you'd like to purchase and click "NEXT"
3) Login with your username and password or register a new account by clicking "REGISTER"
4) Enter your personal and billing information (this information MUST match exactly the info on record with your credit card issuing bank) and click "NEXT"
5) Enter your credit card information and click "NEXT"

US banking regulators have ordered to shut down Pakistan based Habib Bank's official branch of New York. The branch was working for almost 40 years. The decision was taken after the regulators found that bank was repeatedly failing to heed concerns over possible terrorist financing and money laundering.
Habib, is the largest private bank of Pakistan. Officials said that the bank neglected all the compliance problems and red flags on transactions that potentially could have promoted terrorism, money laundering or other illicit ends. So there was no other option than to shut down the bank.
A fine of $225 million has also been imposed on the bank. The ban is imposed by the state's Department of Financial Services, the authority responsible for regulating foreign banks. Initially the penalty of $629.6 million was decided but later on it was reduced to $225 million.
Habib bank had started its operations in Network in 1978. The bank was warned and ordered to stop illegal transactions which were occurring through the bank but bank failed to comply. As per the regulators, bank had done transactions of total amount equal to billions with banks such as Saudi private bank, Al Rajhi Bank. These banks have their connections with al Qaeda.

In This Week in NDSA, our secretary Roxanne Brazell, discusses her affiliation with the Art Colony of Morongo Valley, a prominent community of artists and crafters, who is looking to archive and preserve its historical artifacts. This is the first of the three part blog series by Roxanne.
Since I am not formally working in the digital content management (DCM) field, I am always looking for ways to increase my skills in this area. I am part of an art and craft Guild, the Art Colony of Morongo Valley (ACOMV) in the hi-desert of southern California. This is a prominent community of artists and crafters in the small town of Morongo Valley. The organization has a board of directors and 40 members. The guild has been in existence for 51 years and is tossing around the idea of archiving and preserving its historical artifacts. Each of the board members have retained some of the organization's items and are seeking ways to preserve a lot of the ACOMV's old news article, a few physical photos, a lot of digital images from the past few years, and potentially short videos in the future. The guild does not retain copyright of the news articles and many of the images, so we will be seeking the publisher's permission and will consider the best options for managing the collection.
We are hoping to gain permission to use the articles from 1964 to at least 1985, because the organization has so few photos prior to this period. Since we're in a small town, it will be interesting to find out if the newspaper publisher will give us permission to use the articles and photos. One of our board members is the historian of the group and I will work with her to create the archive over the next year and half. Using the archived and preserved records later, we may also create a short video about the history of the organization next year to increase awareness about the organization in our community. At this stage, we are assessing our current and future needs, so we can begin evaluating digital asset management programs. Stay tuned for a future post on our needs assessment of this project.

Got out the last round of edits to Shell Game today, which meant I could finally get back to researching drought-tolerant crops and human mutations, in preparation for Mission the Next. Of course, all this relentless productivity has me kind of chained to my computer for twelve hours at a time.
How does my roommate Buckminster, AKA The Management, feel about all this?
In a word, unimpressed.
I do not neglect my cat for the computer, I promise you. One aggravated "Mew" from the other room and I am flying catwards to administer worship. But Buckminster does not like waiting, not even for the length of time it takes for me to launch myself across the apartment at full speed. And I can't just play with her before I start working, because all play-related activities (including laser tag and her all time favourite, "The Bengal Tiger and the Mystical Flying Doom-mice") happen only when Buckminster is good and ready. Dangle a catnip toy in her face if her inner feline rhythms have not reached the play cycle, and she'll be all:
I have a feeling that I'm going to see "Can do better, must try harder" in my next performance review.

It has been a bit since the last newsletter and wow, there have been just so many wonderful and meaningful events that have taken place! I will try to just highlight what has taken place and keep things moving. On a national level, I was blessed to be nominated, accepted and inducted into the Masters Martial Arts Hall of Fame on August 1, 2014 in Long Beach, California. This is a tremendous honor that I am very proud of. Click here to see Master Reid inducted into Master Martial Arts Hall of Fame Press Release.
While in California I ran into Guru Daniel Prasetya, who was marketing a new martial arts teaching platform called Martial Codex.
I also was blessed to meet many fine people and practitioners. One of whom was Kumu Michelle Manu, a 9th Degree Black Belt in Kaihewalu Lua. This is the same Lua family as Guru Bahati. She is a very skilled martial artist and I may bring her to Atlanta later this year to share her knowledge (and a few lumps... lol). Stay tuned.
I traveled to Denver and tested students of Sifu Curtis Letson and Dragon Hand Martial Arts on Friday August 15, 2014. The group worked very hard and represented their Sifu and club very well. On Saturday August, 2014 I taught a number of workshops covering Kuntao/Silat, Classical Pa Kua, Hsing-i and Praying Mantis (Praying Mantis Group Photo Is Below).
I also got a chance to work with Sifu Curt and Simu Krissee. Plus to top things off, I got a chance to spend some time with Bapak Willem DeThouars and see some of my college classmates. So blessed!!!
On the home front we have also had plenty of activities and events take place. Another year of Outdoor Conditioning is in the books! We had our End Of Summer Party, and what a celebration it was! The same weekend we worked our first promotional booth as Reid's Shaolin Martial Arts at GTC Cobb 12 Theaters for the opening of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I want to thank our staff and students for all of their support and assistance over the three days. We could not have been successful without you guys!
Last weekend we hosted our August 2014 Beginners Martial Arts Workshop and had a nice turn out. The students enjoyed their lesson so much that they have decided to stay and continue training at our school!
Today we had our first students EARN their White Belts in our Youth Martial Arts Program. Callen Cole, Kacie Cole, Sam Rogers, Grayson Hightower, Eli Ashburn, demonstrated Horse Stance, Bo Stance, Sparring Stance, Ready Stance, Jab, Jab-Cross, Shaolin-Ready Position and Recited the School Creed. I am very proud of their efforts!
Our school transition continues to move forward and I do truly believe that our modifications and adjustments will make for better business and a strong school. You may not know that we have been redesigning and updating our school location site. Bookmark the new url: mariettashaolinmartialarts.com.

Ok that was a mouthful, time to stop typing and go train!

Words of Wisdom
"One of the things my teacher told me was, to never put down other martial arts styles..I also interpreted that statement to mean that it applied to people as well...Martial arts, like life itself, depends on us focusing our energies on improving our individual lives...Our everyday choices should make the impact we would like on our life and the world around us. A moment of consideration, is the simplest and most powerful tool we possess to change our life and the world around us". - Grandmaster Shelton R. Moreland

By Adrienne Dresevic, Esq., Carey F. Kalmowitz, Esq., and Kathryn Hickner-Cruz, Esq.
November 2010
1. Medicare Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are a product of federal healthcare reform legislation.
By now, most healthcare providers have at least a basic understanding of the recent and broad sweeping federal healthcare reform legislation commonly known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which was enacted on March 23, 2010. One aspect of PPACA eliciting significant interest among healthcare providers is the Medicare Shared Savings Program, under which ACOs that meet certain quality performance standards will be eligible to receive Medicare shared savings payments. PPACA requires the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish the Medicare Shared Savings Program no later than January 1, 2012.
2. ACOs will be eligible for financial incentives (enhanced reimbursement) based upon the quality and efficiency of care provided to their patients.
Under the Medicare Shared Savings Program, physicians and other professionals manage and coordinate the care of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries in a multi-disciplinary manner through ACOs. ACOs that meet certain quality performance criteria will be eligible to participate in the resulting Medicare savings. The ACO physicians and other professionals will continue to receive payment under Part A and Part B of the Medicare fee-for-service program in the same manner as they would otherwise. ACOs will not be penalized if quality benchmarks are not attained.
3. ACOs will not be permitted to directly choose the patients for which they are accountable.
PPACA provides that each ACO will be assigned at least 5000 Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries based upon those beneficiaries' utilization of primary care physicians.
4. Primary care physicians will play an integral role in each ACO.
Since assignment of patients to an ACO is based upon the primary care physicians participating in the ACO, it is anticipated that, as a practical matter, primary care physicians will be required to have a relationship with only one ACO and will have substantial influence within the their respective ACOs.
5. Those ACOs that retain patients and refer patients within their ACO network will have the greatest opportunity for success.
Although ACOs will be responsible for the care of their assigned beneficiaries, Medicare beneficiaries will be able to choose their healthcare providers even if such providers do not participate in the ACO to which the Medicare beneficiaries are assigned. There will certainly be an incentive for ACO physicians to refer patients to other physicians within their own ACO.
6. ACOs must satisfy numerous eligibility requirements in order to participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program.
Each ACO will need to satisfy numerous requirements, including, without limitation: (a) being willing to be accountable for the quality, cost, and overall care of Medicare beneficiaries; (b) contractually committing to participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program for at least three years; (c) maintaining a management structure that includes clinical and administrative systems; and (d) adopting processes to promote evidence based medicine and patient engagement, report on quality and cost measures, and coordinate care.
7. Healthcare providers have substantial flexibility when structuring their ACOs.
PPACA provides that numerous types of organizations can become ACOs. The various types of models include, without limitation, hospital employment models, group practices, joint ventures, physician organizations, physician hospital organizations, management services arrangements, and service line models.
8. The ability to efficiently and effectively share information will be key to the success of any ACO.
As a condition of receiving Medicare shared savings payments, ACOs will need to submit information to the Secretary of HHS that is necessary to determine the quality of care furnished by the ACO. Each ACO will need to have the information technology and other electronic health record infrastructure in place to maintain, share, retrieve, and report meaningful and usable data.
9. ACOs will serve as a catalyst for further integration among healthcare providers.
In order to achieve the clinical and administrative coordination and sharing of information that will be necessary to the success of ACOs, physicians, hospitals, and other professionals will need to integrate, but within the constraints of applicable law, including the federal Anti-Kickback, Stark, and Civil Monetary Penalty laws, federal tax exempt laws and federal and state privacy laws, federal anti-trust laws, and the state corporate practice of medicine doctrines.
10. The healthcare community is currently preparing for future participation in the Medicare Shared Savings Program through ACOs.
As of today, there are many uncertainties surrounding the requirements that ACOs will need to satisfy in order to receive payments under the Medicare Shared Savings Program. Notwithstanding this current state of affairs, many providers are wisely looking beyond the basic contours of the proposed Medicare Shared Savings Program and developing strategies to prepare for its future implications.

The first time that I nervously approached an editor to pitch a series of travel stories, I had a story and photos ready for print plus examples of past work and a resume prepared.
Two sentences into my resume speech, the editor interrupted me with "Show me your work," then pleasantly surprised me with "Yeah, this is good, let's have a story ready for the next edition." (Talk about getting to the point.)
Like most writers, I have responded to 'need this yesterday' phone calls and burned the midnight oil more than a few times, but I have never suffered from a lack of ideas for articles or stories. My interest in the lifestyles of different cultures in beautiful places and a keen desire to see the world are always leading me to unique experiences.
When my best mate and I decided to leave successful careers in Sydney in order to sleep under the stars for a year or two while we walked and hitchhiked around Australia, Women's Weekly published "Around Australia, Selling the Shirts Off Their Back." In Bali, I was fortunate enough to attend a sacred ceremony in a remote jungle village, an experience which inspired "Under the Trance," a cover story for Bali Echo Magazine.
I have spent much of my career freelancing, traveling, and using my education and skills to work in a variety of jobs around the globe in such places as New Orleans, Sydney, Kyoto, Torres Strait Islands, Guam, MIcronesian Islands, and now Ubud, Bali. After some hair raising experiences, including a serious accident in a remote region, I realized that versatility is the key to thriving, and sometimes surviving, in my chosen lifestyle. Writing (and getting paid for it) requires the same skill.
A Micronesian shaman once told me that my life would have many adventures and that I would see "the whole big story beyond the waters and across the lands." I hope he was right. I continue to write about life's rich tapestry, woven by cultures around the world
