20 yr old TB mare with two different feet
This is so typical to see in horses! One foot is very upright and "clubby" while the other is flat and either under-run or foundered. The trick is to get the contracted foot to open up while getting the flat foot to tighten up it's connection. With this mare, both feet were almost dead with very little blood circulation from years of shoes and contraction. She was very shut down and depressed with poor conditioning. This photo was taken BEFORE trimming. The clubby foot has a very contracted coffin bone that probably has a lot of bone loss.
After a few trims
Still apparent is the difference in the two feet. Since this horse has only had a couple of trims, she is still in the beginning stages of transition to health. But she has already improved in her attitude and movement.

- Antifragile – a term used to mean the opposite of fragile, and denote things that gain from disorder, chaos, stressors. It is not the same thing as 'robust' or 'resilient'. Fragile things are negatively impacted by uncertainty, stress. Robust things are unimpacted by them. Antifragile things actually grow and flourish in the face of uncertainty and stress. The analogy "wind puts out a candle, but encourages a fire" embodies this.
- This is an interesting and important concept to think about as it is all around us in nature and evolution – only the antifragile setups could have lasted billions of years in an unpredictable universe. Yet, no known language has a word for the 'exact opposite of fragile', leading the author to coin antifragile.
- Human emotions are a good example to understand 'antifragile' behavior – thoughts or emotions such as anger and bitterness grow the more they are suppressed. Countless stories tell the tale of someone whose love/attraction for their chosen ones grows in spite of emotional abuse or mistreatment from the person they desire.
Book Summary: Give and Take by Adam Grant
- Reciprocity Styles: People can be classified based on reciprocity styles as givers (do more for others), matchers (operate on quid-pro-quo basis) and takers (look for personal gain at the expense of others).
- Success and Reciprocity Styles: There is a high correlation between patterns of success/productivity and reciprocity styles. On the success ladder, the people at the bottom are givers. Surprisingly, the people at the top are also givers. The takers and matchers occupy the middle. The book is about how giving enriches you in various ways, and what differentiates givers at the bottom and the top.
Credit Cards, Beginner Bucket List – 2016
I found myself having conversations with several friends about must-have credit cards. This post is an attempt to record all of them in one place, and is aimed at credit card beginners. For immigrants from places where plastic money isn't prevalent, it is important to understand why routing all bills and purchases through credit cards is recommended (purchase protection, cashback, and building a good credit history). This list is by no means comprehensive, just what worked for me. For better resources, go here or here. If you hate having to deal with this stuff at all, scroll to the very bottom for a tl;dr.
Below is a listing of all the credit cards that are nice to have, and why. All cards listed are no annual-fee cards, unless specified otherwise.Read More »
Getting There: A Book of Mentors
This book is a collection of memoirs and life lessons from leaders in diverse fields, ranging from investing (Warren Buffett), art (Marina Abramovic), business (several) to academia (Nitin Nohria). The content is surprisingly fresh and different from what one may have read from these same people elsewhere. The candid, reflective and conversational tone makes the book a great bedtime read.
Below are some snippets from each of the subjects.
Self-Efficacy: The exercise of control
This blog post is an attempt to condense some learnings on self-efficacy. Some of us have been introduced to the concept by this illuminating book – A Defining Decade by Meg Jay. The internet unfortunately does not provide good content on what self-efficacy is, how to build it up, the numerous aspects in which it affects your life, so the only way to dig these up is to go straight to the source – Albert Bandura's psychology textbook that collates his pioneering research on the subject. The book, however, is 604 pages long and extremely dense with strictly academic language. A tl;dr version exists here; short, approachable, yet in heavily academic language as well. This blog post is a 'notes to self' version of the book, and an attempt to make learnings from the book accessible.
What is self-efficacy?
Self-efficacy is the set of beliefs and attitudes that you can get something done, influence things and events in your environments and cause certain outcomes.
Self-efficacy is not the same thing as confidence – you can be supremely confident that you will fail. Confidence is the degree of strength of a belief.
Self-efficacy is also not the same as knowing you will succeed – self-efficacy says you have a sense of agency, and that you have control, no matter what the outcome.
If you have heard any of the following references growing up and wondered if they were merely feel-good things to tell yourself, here is the good news – self-efficacy research that provides a solid backing to and understanding of these popular sayings
- Whether you think you can or you cannot, you are right.
- I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
- Life's battles do not go to the strongest or biggest man, sooner or later (they) go to the one who he thinks he can.
Why should I care about it?
Research shows that people with a self-efficacious outlook –
- approach difficult tasks as challenges to be mastered rather than threats to be avoided.
- foster an intrinsic interest in the activities they take up, and are deeply engrossed in them.
- set themselves challenging goals and maintain a strong commitment to them.
- heighten and sustain their efforts in the face of failure.
- quickly recover their sense of efficacy or belief in themselves after setbacks or failures.
- attribute failure to insufficient effort or deficient knowledge and skills which are acquirable, rather than some innate deficiency with themselves.
- approach threatening situations with an assurance that they can exercise control over them.
- have reduced stress and lower vulnerability to depression.
- have higher levels of accomplishment.
If such people sound awesome, self-efficacy is worth learning about.
This sounds like it is about work and accomplishments. I am not ambitious or I don't like talking about these subjects. Why should I care about it?
Efficacy doesn't just affect how you perform, it affects your thought-processes, the attitude you carry to pretty much any situation and as a consequence, social and emotional aspects of your life. For example, take shyness. Research shows that shy people know perfectly well how to behave socially and how to pull off smalltalk. They are simply reticent because their perception (self-efficacy) of their social skills is poor.
Book Summary: The Happiness Advantage
Seven principles from the book:
- The happiness advantage: Happiness does not follow success. The reason is that each time we are successful, we change the goals (the definition of success) just a little bit so happiness remains a moving target. Instead, research shows that success orbits around happiness. Behaviors that create happiness and positivity lead to success.
- The fulcrum and the lever analogy: Your belief of your talent and capability to get outcomes is analogous to the length of the lever you have. Your mindset about yourself and the task at hand is the fulcrum. Remember that by shifting the fulcrum you can lift a larger weight using the same length of lever.
- The tetris effect: People who play too Tetris have their brains wired to spot for Tetris-like patterns and shapes in the real world. They are constantly on the lookout for 'gaps' that can be filled to complete a Tetris line. The human brain works similarly in the real world – you will spot whatever you are primed to look out for, so prime yourself to look for the good, the positive.
- Falling up: There is a way to use your failure and suffering ('downward momentum') to propel yourself upward. Highly resilient people are able to cope with many falls and eventually succeed because they are falling up, learning and growing with each fall.
- The Zorro Circle: There are two categories of people – one with an internal locus of control (they believe they have the power to shape things), another with an external locus of control (believe they can be helpless and other people or luck play all the role). Build an internal locus of control, starting with a small circle. The small circle is a metaphor for one small task that you can build control over and do well. Then gradually expand outwards to take more challenges as you strengthen your belief.
- The 20-second rule: Humans end up not picking happiness-generating things or activities (e.g. actual hobbies, exercise, social bonds), because they require a non-trivial initial investment or overcoming inertia. Humans instead pick activities that are low-friction, easy to start (e.g. watching TV) but don't generate happiness or satisfaction. To change this, change the direction of friction by just 20 seconds. The author placed a guitar on a stand in the center of his living room, to avoid the 20-second effort of picking it up, and got better at keeping his goals of playing everyday. Similarly, he took off the batteries of the remote and placed them 20 seconds away, and it got easier to shun TV.
- Social Investment: When adversity strikes, some people are the first to abandon their investment in the people around them, spending less time with their mate, kids or friends to work instead. This is counter-productive. Your social support network is the biggest investment you can make in times of adversity – it helps you pull through.
- US Navy's research shows that the prizes for efficiency and preparedness go to squadrons whose commanding officers are openly encouraging. Squadrons getting the lowest marks are frequently led by officers who are negative, controlling and of an aloof demeanour.
- Mental construction has a direct impact on the physical aging process. In a study, a group of men of age ~75 were isolated and put into settings that faked the appearance of the year when they were 55. They spent one week in these circumstances, and objective markers of youth – agility, memory etc went up for them.
- Mental construction and perception influences the impact of external circumstances: A group of youngsters rubbed with a placebo but told that they were being rubbed with poison ivy started showing actual signs of irritation. In another group that was actually rubbed with poison ivy but told that they were being rubbed with a harmless substance, only 2 out of the 14 allergic people developed rashes.
- Mental construction of our daily activities, more than the activity itself, defines our reality. This is why job crafting is a good exercise. It involves looking at the activities of your day-to-day job and trying to connect parts of it with your long-term purpose and larger calling.
- Mindset: The most successful people are not the ones who have the longest hours. These are people with a mindset that helps them work more productively and amidst more pressure than their peers. They take the same units of time given to everyone and use their mindset to become efficient and productive.
- Note the lever in the lever and fulcrum analogy is not 'ability' but 'belief in your own ability'. Belief in your own ability is a stronger predictor of on-the-job performance than the actual level of skills or training that you have had.
- Not pursuit, but creation or construction of happiness: The term the 'pursuit' of happiness is misleading. It is in your power to create happiness for yourself, so use the phrase 'creation/construction of happiness' instead.
- How can your current tasks be connected to your larger personal goals in life? Jot down the work that you do, and then draw an arrow to the right, and jot down the outcome. Jot down what the outcome means after another arrow, and keep asking 'what does this lead to' and drawing more arrows till you get a consequence of your work that is meaningful and impactful to you.
- "A few choice words can alter a person's mindset, which in turn can change their accomplishments." This is worth keeping in mind as you interact with your spouse, kids, friends and colleagues.
- Words matter: Two groups of people were asked to play the same game. One group was told it was the 'wall street game', the other was told it was the 'community game'. People's behavior and level of cooperativeness in the game was very different in the two cases, despite it being the same game.
- The Pygmalion Effect: Pygmalion was a sculptor who created a beautiful woman's status out of a marble block and fell in love enough to ask a Goddess to make the statue come to life. The Pygmalion effect in real life is demonstrated when absolutely ordinary kids are presented to the teachers as having 'gifted ability' in a class, and a year later, their performance has actually shot up. The teachers' beliefs spread into their non-verbal cues and behavior to the students' morale and their efforts.
- Expectations we have about our children, co-workers and spouses – whether or not they are ever voiced, can make that expectation a reality.
- Deadline is a negative word: Use something like lifeline instead. Talking or thinking about deadlines make you focus on the 'end'. When you reconnect yourself to the pleasure of the 'means' as opposed to only focusing on the ends, you adopt a mindset that is more conducive to not only enjoyment but also better objective results.
- The Tetris Effect is a metaphor for how our brains dictate the way we see the world around us.
- The gorilla experiment shows we can miss something obvious when we are not looking for it. When we are looking for something, we see it everywhere. Positive tetris effect is scanning the world for opportunities and ideas that allows our success rate to grow.
- Optimists are able to maintain high levels of well-being during times of hardships; they hone skills crucial to high performance in a demanding work environment.
- The photo-counting experiment shows that luck is not entirely extrinsic, unlucky people have just primed themselves to not spot opportunities that are staring them in the face.
- This is where the 'writing what you are grateful for, daily' exercise helps. It primes your brain to spot goodness, till it comes to you naturally. CEOs who attempted this experiment found two useful side-effects – enlisting their kids to do this with them at the dinner table, they found that the kids refused to have dinner till the exercise was completed, holding them accountable and forcing them to 'see' goodness when days at work were horrible. Secondly, they became better at seeing the things to be grateful for in their marriages as well.
- Adversarial growth – there are several calamities from people are known to emerge stronger from, including breast cancer, natural disasters and refugee displacement. By having a positive reinterpretation of the situation, and developing resilience and hope, they 'fall up'.
- Learned helplessness – Dogs were placed in a box with two chambers, one with shocks and one without. They could easily jump from one chamber into the other. Researchers periodically rung a bell and started the shock. They expected the dogs to jump each time the bell rang after a few attempts, instead the dogs learned to be helpless and just bear the shock.
- People are often quick to learn helplessness. If their efforts to do something to make things better don't work in one attempt, the first pass of the experiment, they don't even try when faced with the situation again. Furthermore, the learned helplessness is applied (often wrongly) to other situations as well.
- ABCD paradigm: Adversity, Belief, Consequence and Disputation. Your beliefs after adversity will shape whether you think the consequences are good, bearable or bad. If they are bad, you should dispute that in your head.
- Two parts of the brain – the jerk and the thinker: The pre-frontal cortex is for rational decision making, its motto is 'think, then react'. The limbic region where amygdala dominates is more emotional and its motto is 'fight or flight'. For more effective people, their pre-frontal cortex wins in a stressful situation. Brain scans show that it lights up more. For people who are easily worried or stressed, the limbic region dominates. Irrespective of the person, once the stress has reached a critical point, even the smallest setback can trigger an amygdala response, essentially hitting the brain's panic button.
- Developing effective stress response: Step 1 is to verbalize it, put your feelings down into words. Step 2 is to which aspects of the situation you have control over and which ones you don't. Surprisingly, when people focus on aspects they can control, their work ends up influencing the other aspects, seemingly out of their control, as well and the overall result is positive.
- Self-awareness is a swift antidote for emotional hijacking.
- Habits are like financial capital – forming one today is an investment that will automatically give out returns for years to come. By forming positive habits, you are making your nervous system your ally instead of your enemy. The dividends paid off by habits come without continued concerted effort, or extensive usage of willpower reserves. A powerful example – the author slept in gym clothes, with sneakers by the bed and a mental plan of what to do for the workout at night, for a few months. As it became a habit, working out in the mornings came naturally to him.
- Set rules in advance, and free yourself from the barrage of choices that deplete your willpower.
- When we encounter an unexpected challenge or threat, the only way to save ourselves is to hold on tight to the people around us and not let go. Research shows that people who believe success is a lonely path, and divest themselves socially in hardship fare worse than those who capitalize on their social support networks.
- "Love – full stop": A study at Harvard followed 268 Harvard graduates for 70 years. The researcher who supervised it for 40 years, summarizes it as 'love – full stop'. Those who scored highest on 'warm relationship' aspects earned $141,000 a year more at their peak than others. Social capital provides stress relief and a significant competitive advantage.
- "If somebody must jettison a part of their life, time with a mate should be last on the list. He needs that connection to live." Not following this when pressed for time, is like dumping food on a life-raft but keeping the life-raft furniture.
- We each have our own versions of the offensive line (football metaphor) -with our spouses, families and friends, big challenges feel more manageable and small challenges don't even register on the radar.
- How a person responds when you share good news with them, is way better a predictor of your bond with them than anything else.
- Experiments show that in work environments, just one positive team-member can change the objective accomplishments of the group. Power to spark and spread positive emotion multiplies if you are in a leadership position.
Action Items from the book (do the following everyday):
- List 3 things that happened during the day, that you are grateful for. A persistent habit of looking for 3 good things each night will prime your brain to spot positivity and increase gratitude.
- Maintain a journal. The people who recover the best from setbacks and distress are those who can understand what they are feeling and put those feelings into words. Journaling helps increase self-awareness, which is the first step to gaining control.
- Adopt a positive tone and facial expression. It benefits the objective performance and results of people around you.
Book Recommendation: Principles of Psychology by William James
Book Summary: 'Creativity, Inc'
Ideas from the book
- Make sure your environment facilitates, and not hinders, the culture that you want to foster. If you want open communication oblivious to ranks and pecking order, a rectangular meeting table is a bad idea. So are name or place cards.

Despite ending the week with a loss and starting it with another setback, Campbellsville High edged Washington County 3-2 for their eighth win in the last 11 outings.
Ben Janes went the first 5 1/3 innings on the mound and Taylor Levi got the final five outs with four strike-outs.
Janes also had two hits for the Eagles while Stealth Townley had a double and two run batted in and Aaron Schwoebel, Levi Murray and Lake Wiseman all had singles.
Campbellsville University learned early Friday evening that it will play its first-round games of the 2010 NAIA Baseball National Tournament in Joliet, Ill., located 40 miles southwest of Chicago.
The Tigers will be the No. 2 seed in the five-team tournament and will face host team, No. 3 University of Saint Francis (Ill.) in the first round on Tuesday at 4 p.m. (ET). Cumberland University (Tenn.), ranked No. 2 nationally, will be the No. 1 seed and host the winner of the tournament's opening game between No. 4 Robert Morris (Ill.) and No. 5. Mayville State (N.D.).
After losing a pair of one-run games and one on a three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh, Taylor County's baseball Cardinals reeled off three consecutive home triumphs.
Green County freshman Brennen Milby no-hit the Cardinals on May 4 despite strong pitching performances by Dustin Bennett (three innings) and Matthew Johns (four strike-outs in three frames).
A day later, LaRue County edged Taylor County 2-1 in nine innings.
Johns had three hits for the Cardinals while Bennett and Levi Smith had two apiece.
Kelsey Feltner had three hits while Destiny Wilson, Tiffany Slone and Karissa Atkinson had two safeties each and senior Ashley Kessinger pitched a complete game as Campbellsville High School Lady Eagles bested Bardstown 10-7 on Tuesday.
Bardstown led 3-1 going to the bottom of the third with Feltner's inside-the park homer being the lone CHS run.
However, the Lady Eagles responded with three runs in the third, four more in the fourth and finished with single runs in the fifth and sixth.
Campbellsville High School will be looking for another head football coach after the recent resignation of Jason Chappell.
Chappell, who guided the Eagles to a 7-5 worksheet during his one year at the CHS helm, will accept an assistant coaching position at Middlesboro/Bell County area. (He and his wife Leigh Ann are members of a church in Middlesboro, which is Leigh Ann's hometown.)

I know that many atheists are hesitant to Join or participate in an Organization but we must consider that our voice will be much harder to ignore if we all stand up and speak together. I am not asking you to do anything or donate any money, just to share your thoughts and opinions. We would also be joining other groups around the state to give us more of a voice in state and national government. If you know other atheists let them know about this. We all live our daily lives among people that think differently than we do, I think that speaking to other locals with respect for critical thought and reason could make all of us feel a lot more comfortable living where we do. We live in a City thats name translates to "the body of Christ", in an area thick with religion and mysticism. I know it won't be easy but I do feel it is important for us, as non theists, to have more of a voice. Also, if you get a chance I would suggest you take a look at http://www.atheist s.org it is a very informative website. If anyone is interested in this idea please contact me at [email protected] om Or post here. (Apr 16, 2007 | post #1)

NUI Galway's School of Business and Economics Hold Annual Career Mentoring Event
Tuesday, 13 November 2012
Pictured at the recent NUI Galway J.E. Cairnes School of Business and Economics Career Mentoring event was: Aisling Walshe, Bachelor of Commerce student; Eoin Cahalan, Accenture; and Jessica Dunne, Bachelor of Commerce (International) student.
NUI Galway recently held its annual Career Mentoring Day giving 25 students from the University's J.E. Cairnes School of Business and Economics the opportunity to meet with volunteer mentors holding senior positions across various professions on a one-to-one basis.
Topics discussed throughout the mentoring session included the challenges of the current employment market, the importance of networking and making effective job applications. The mentors also offered careers advice covering sectors such as marketing, accountancy, management, consultancy, teaching and human resource management.
Dr Gerard Turley, Programme Director for the Bachelor of Commerce programme at NUI Galway, said: "Mentoring provides a crucial link between university life and the workplace. In recognition of the difficult transition from college days to work life, the School of Business and Economics at NUI Galway organises mentoring sessions for different business programmes, including undergraduate Bachelor of Commerce students, Masters of Economic Science students and Executive MBAs."
Students participating found the opportunity to meet with senior professionals invaluable with NUI Galway second year Bachelor of Commerce (International) student Nadja Lorenz commenting: "It was a fantastic and unique opportunity. Going into the event, I knew exactly what I wanted but now, and this is crucial, I know how to get there. I can already start working on it with the advice I got from my mentor. It's much easier now that I know where to start and what to pay attention to. The advice I got was unique and invaluable."

Building near Kipling home in Vermont open to rentersMay 15,2013The Associated Press
DUMMERSTON — A building on property in Vermont that was once the home of author Rudyard Kipling is now open to vacationers for rent.
The carriage house sits just a stone's throw from Naulakha (now-LAH'-kuh), the Dummerston home that Kipling built in the 1890s and where he wrote "The Jungle Book" and other works.
The Landmark Trust USA is preparing the Carriage House, which dates to the 1890s, for its first renters at the end of the month, the Brattleboro Reformer reports (http://bit.ly/19sEcyV).
The first floor housed Kipling's carriage and a greenhouse. Servants' quarters were upstairs.
"Here we are with this amazing property, which is now empty and in perfect condition," said Kelly Carlin, the trust's regional property manager. "It's got historical significance. It's a perfect complement to Naulakha."
The trust already rents out the Naulakha to short-term tenants. The home, named after a book Kipling co-authored about an Indian jewel, was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

Northeast football announces 2012 schedule
Northeast Mississippi Community College's head coach Ricky Smither has announced the team's 2012 football schedule which is set to kickoff at Tiger Stadium on a Thursday, August 30 against Copiah-Lincoln Community College.
Northeast will once again face another hard road in its 2012 campaign after one of the toughest schedules in the Mississippi Association of Community & Junior College's (MACJC) during the 2011 season.
However, the Tigers were able to handle the pressure of the schedule last season by posting a 6-4 overall record. Northeast was also ranked as high as twelfth in the National Junior College Athletic Association's (NJCAA) polls last season and capitalized on an impressive 5-0 start while falling in the first round of the playoffs in overtime to Mississippi Gulf Coast 20-17.
"We had a tough schedule last year, but that is just part of this league," explained Smither. "Everyone is good and you have to be ready every week and last year we were able to do some good things for our program and we hope to do the same in 2012."
Northeast will kick off the first half of its season at 7 p.m. in Booneville verses the Wolves before going on the road to face Jones County Junior College on September 8. That game with the Bobcats will feature a rare start time with kickoff set for 7 p.m. on a Saturday evening in Ellisville.
Smither and crew will get back to Thursday night action the following week on September 13, at 6:30 p.m. against Holmes Community College in Goodman to open up divisional play and in week four the Tigers host Northwest Mississippi Community College at 7 p.m. on September 20.
The second half of the season, Northeast will take the trip back down to Perkinston to face Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College on September 27 at 7 p.m.
On October 4 the Tigers travel to Clarksdale where they will look to battle with the Tigers of Coahoma at 6:30 p.m. and on October 11 will host the MACJC state and NJCAA defending national champions the East Mississippi Lions at 7 p.m.
Northeast's homecoming opponent will be crosstown rival Itawamba Community College with game time set for 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 20.
Last but not least the Tigers will be at Mississippi Delta on October 25, at 7 p.m. in Moorhead.

BBB Customer Reviews Rating represents the customers opinions of the business. The Customer Review Rating is based on the number of positive, neutral and negative customer reviews posted that are calculated to produce a score.
|Customer Review Experience
|Positive Review
|5 points per review
|Neutral Review
|3 points per review
|Negative Review
|1 point per review
BBB letter grades represent the BBB's opinion of the business. The BBB grade is based on BBB file information about the business. In some cases, a business' grade may be lowered if the BBB does not have sufficient information about the business despite BBB requests for that information from the business.
BBB Letter Grade Scale
Star Rating scale
BBB Customer Review Rating plus BBB Rating is not a guarantee of a business' reliability or performance, and BBB recommends that consumers consider a business' BBB Rating and Customer Review Rating in addition to all other available information about the business. If the BBB Rating is NR then only Customer Reviews are used for the Star Rating.

Complaint: I placed an order on 1/13/15 with this on-line company, purchasing several beauty products. About one-third of the items were damaged or unusable -- dried-up liquid makeup, rusted pencil sharpener, dried/caked dry make-up. I had great difficulty contacting customer service, but when I did, they sent me a form for damaged items in order to be reimbursed. I filed this on 2/7/15.As of 3/7/15 (and several e-mails later), I have not received the promised refund. They reported that it was posted "on their end" on 2/12, yet no one can provide proof of that, and my card has no such "refund" posted.
Desired Settlement: Refund to my credit card of $14.72.
Business Response: To whom it may concern:
We regret to hear that the customer experienced any issue with their most recent order with Beauty Encounter. Customer notified us that they were unhappy with these products:
A refund of $14.72 has been posted on 3/11/15, and customer has been advised that a refund was processed accordingly. Although we cannot satisfy every customer with their expectation of the merchandise, we will always work with them to reach a positive solution.

Complaint: I placed an order on 5/29/2014 at beautyencounter for three different perfumes. Beauty Encounter sent me the wrong three perfumes. I opened the package as soon as I received them and promptly called customer service with the intention to ask for an exchange. I called two separate times. The person I spoke to heard my complaint and assured me that Beauty Encounter customer service would email me back with a prepaid return label. However, she herself could not access my account. She told me to call back at 4 pm central time if I wanted to speak to someone by phone. I proceeded to wait until 4:00 central and called back. The person I spoke to whose name is ****, was extremely unprofessional and not only mocked me, but accused me of lying, said that no one named ******* even existed at Beauty Encounter, said sarcastically that, "I'm sure someone named ******* exists in the world, but not here", and proceed to tell me that she refused to send me a return label because this issue was somehow my mistake. She want inconsiderate, condescending, and rude throughout the entire phone conversation, and when I told her what the previous person told me, she discounted it like it did not matter what so ever and told me what she was going to do. She then refused to provide me with an email address or phone number of a superior, or for corporate, and said that no call history existed between me and the person I spoke to earlier. The level of unprofessional behavior exhibited by this person who claimed to be a supervisor and the manager of Beauty Encounter was frankly hard to believe. I agreed to ship back the items which were incorrectly sent to me and simply asked for a return label sent to my email account (like the previous customer service rep mentioned) which would have only cost a few dollars. However, she seemed nonchalant said I never called earlier when I clearly did (how else would I have known they were out at lunch and to call back at exactly 4:00pm central?).
Desired Settlement: I do not understand how this mistake may have occurred, but I removed the must essence testers from my cart before checking out (yet they still appreared in my order confirmation page). The second I opened the package and saw this mistake I called ******* in customer service to voice my concern. I would simply like a prepaid return mailing label so I can send back the wrong items I received as well as the three perfumes I intended to purchase "Must de Cartier Claire de Jasmin by Cartier 1.7 oz

Complaint: I made a purchase from Beautyencounter.com for my daughter for Christmas, and it was the wrong item. I returned the product and purchased the correct one. I never got my refund. When I contacted the company they said they never received the return (two months later). I had a tracking label that showed what date/time it was delivered to the company. I forwarded that email to the company, they still maintained they had not received the product and suggested I contact MY CARRIER. I tried to explain they wouldn't be able to help me, since they already proved they had delivered the merchandise. The company has refused to issue my credit.
Desired Settlement: I would like them to refund my $53.88 as they should.
Business Response: Greetings from Beauty Encounter,
We have enclosed our communication with the customer ***** ******* and provided the appropriate refund. Their original refund request amount of $53.88 was not issued, however we did advise the customer that original shipping cost of $11.94 was non-refundable. $41.94 is the amount that was paid for the product, and refund was provided on 4/16/14 . We have resolved this issue with ***** ******* directly, feel free to contact us with any additional questions.

Complaint: This company states that it sells "genuine" perfume products; however, they do not. This company is in the business of selling high-priced imitation scents. After "googling" this business, I discovered many, many other customer reviews/complaints; you begin to see a pattern of disappointed customers and repeated poor customer service. Several customers, including myself, paid full price for fraudulent products. Beauty Encounter.com states they will "guarantee" your satisfaction; however, after contacting the company for a refund, they are rude and do not assist with refunds or returns - simply stating that you cannot return items because they are "hazardous materials" and cannot be returned using the USPS. How convenient this is for them - how else would you return an on-line purchase? Additionally, several of their perfumes and other products have been reported as being "rancid" or having contained bacteria. Because these are personal beauty items that contact people's skin, eyes, and mouth I believe this company's fraudulent business practices also poses a public health risk.This company is literally selling fraudulent items as "new," some customers have even stated that they have received USED items, re-packaged as new! It is frankly unbelievable that this company can remain in business as I thought it is illegal to fraud people.
Desired Settlement: I personally have contacted the company to request a refund, after being denied (of course) I have contacted American Express to try to get my money back through my credit card company.
Selling counterfeit products is a determent to any legitimate business such as ours. We started as a "Mom and Pop" shop and would not be where we are today by selling counterfeit products. We are a growing company and are recognized globally as a trusted source since 1999. We have provided customer with a scan copy of the purchase order coming directly from Penhaligon Ltd. We only source authentic products and in this case, directly from Penhaligon's Ltd. We regret that the customer had a poor experience with this product, and though the item had significantly past the return period, we have provided a full refund. We have raised their concern directly to Penhaligon's Ltd. Again, we do not take this claim lightly; and though not everyone will have the best experience and we cannot satisfy everyone, we never sell items that are fake or counterfeit in any way. We will continue to offer the best and authentic products at the best prices in the market to our 100,000's of satisfied customers worldwide. We have resolved the issue with the customer directly.

Why Germany needs a functioning euro-periphery: Its trade surplus with the rest of the eurozone...
Why Germany needs a functioning euro-periphery: Its trade surplus with the rest of the eurozone fell to €62.2B in the 12 months ended in March - the lowest of any 12-month period since 2002. Much of Germany's solid growth has come from Club Med states borrowing to buy Bimmers. With credit cut off and PIIGS economies contracting, the German surplus is disappearing.

Germany has just posted its highest ever export numbers (98.8 billion € for March alone!). The editorial is correct that Europe is the main trading partner and trade there has fallen dramatically, but on the other hand it has been overcompensated by the Americas and especially Asia.

Research Institution:
AbstractThis SBIR Phase II research project strives to develop an Advanced Ultrasonic Beamformer that is unparalleled in its scalability and signal processing features. The ultrasonic beamformer architecture will be unique in its breadth of features. The architecture was developed as the superset of features across several fields including medical imaging, medical therapy, bone density measurement, vascular imaging, and materials characterization. This approach provides each field with an instrument capable of operating outside the normal performance envelope, thereby presenting opportunities for the development of new uses of ultrasound. The benefits of this array include better frame rates, crisper images, and more accurate surgery. The higher frequencies used in materials characterization, when brought to medical imaging, will allow array transducer to be used where only conventional, single element probes could used in the past, for example in intra-cardiac imaging for surgical instruments, and also for tumor ablation. By design, the proposed architecture encompasses the abilities of many different fields. Each field then enjoys performance capabilities beyond what is normally available, providing a general-purpose tool for research.

I would like to code a DLL which should be loaded by a non-QT application. As a result when my DLL is loaded I dont have any
QApplication/QCoreApplication. As a result my Signal/Slot mechanism is not working.
I searched deeply in Qt forums but couldnt achieved a good answer yet about how to handle such a problem. I created a
QThread moved my
QObjects to that thread and created a fake
QApplicationCore and called its
exec() function inside QThread's
run() function. This way my Signal Slot mechanism worked but I am not happy with that indirect solution. I should be able to activate my threads slots from the main non-Qt thread's execution space. What is the correct way of working with such dll plugins? Direct answers and reading source reccomandations are welcomed. Thank you
Note: The external application loading my DLL is a Windows app. It's a third party application and I cannot touch it.
