Several tests are commonly used to find out if your breast change is due to cancer.
Your doctor will feel your breasts and the lymph nodes under your arms. They will take a full medical history and ask about your family history.
A mammogram is a low-dose x-ray of the breast tissue. This x-ray can find changes that are too small to be felt during a physical examination. Your breast is pressed between two x-ray plates, which spread the breast tissue out so clear pictures can be taken. Both breasts are checked. This procedure can be uncomfortable, but it's over in about 20 seconds.
If the lump your GP could feel during the physical examination is not shown on a mammogram, other tests will need to be done.
An ultrasound is a painless scan that uses soundwaves to create a picture of your body. A gel is spread on your breast and a small device called a transducer is moved over the area. This sends out soundwaves that echo when they meet something dense, like an organ or tumour. A computer creates a picture from these echoes. The scan takes about 15–20 minutes.
This form of breast imaging uses a large magnet in a scanner to image breast tissue. Breast MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is more sensitive than mammography or breast ultrasound. It is commonly used to screen women at high-risk of breast cancer, but it can also be used in women with very dense breast tissue. Breast MRI is becoming more widely available, however it requires special expertise to interpret the results.
During the scan, you may have an injection of a contrast dye to make any potential cancerous breast tissue easier to see. To have the breast MRI, you will lie facedown on a screening table with cushioned openings for your breasts. The table slides into the machine. This test can take 30–60 minutes.
Your doctor will suggest a biopsy if an abnormal or unusual area is felt in your breast. During a biopsy, a small amount of tissue is removed from your breast. A pathologist examines the removed tissue and checks for cancer cells under a microscope. There are a few ways of taking a biopsy, and you may need more than one.
A thin needle is used to take some cells from the breast lump or abnormal area. Sometimes an ultrasound is used to help guide the needle. The test is a bit uncomfortable – it can feel similar to having blood taken. It is usually done in a specialist's rooms, by a pathologist in a hospital outpatient department or at a radiology practice.
A wider needle is used to remove a small piece of tissue, called a core, from the lump or abnormal area. It is usually done under local anaesthetic, so your breast is numb, though you may still feel some pain or discomfort. During this procedure, a mammogram, ultrasound or MRI is used to help guide the needle.
"I had a core biopsy by ultrasound and didn't find it very painful. Afterwards I had a small amount of bruising. I have heard other women say I was lucky, and they experienced more pain and bruising."
This is also performed under local anaesthetic. Lots of small tissue samples are removed using a suction-type instrument and computerguided technology.
If the abnormal area is too small to be biopsied using the methods above, a surgical biopsy is done. Before the biopsy, a guide wire may be put into the breast to help the surgeon find the abnormal tissue. You will be given local anaesthetic, and the doctor may use an ultrasound or mammogram to insert the wire. This is done in the radiology department.
The biopsy is then done in a separate operation using a general anaesthetic. The lump and a small area of breast tissue around it are removed, along with the wire. This biopsy is usually done as day surgery, but some women have an overnight stay in hospital.
A pathologist will examine the breast tissue. The sample comes from a biopsy or tissue removed during surgery. The findings of these tests will be outlined in a pathology report, which will include the size and location of the tumour, the grade of the cancer, whether there are cancer cells close to the edge of the breast tissue and whether there are cancer cells in your lymph nodes. The pathology report will help your doctor decide what treatments are best for you. Additional tests will be done to show if the cancer has receptors for hormones or growth factors.
Hormones affect some types of breast cancer. Hormones are chemical messengers in the body that transfer information. Before menopause, the ovaries produce the hormones oestrogen and progesterone. These hormones can cause cancer to grow.
A hormone receptor is a protein in a cell. In breast cancer, hormone receptors receive signals from oestrogen and progesterone to promote cancer cell growth. There are two types of hormone receptors: oestrogen receptors and progesterone receptors. About two out of every three breast cancers contain hormone receptors.
A cancer that is ER+ or PR+ is more likely to respond to hormone treatments.
The HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) test looks for a protein that is found on the surface of cells. This protein causes the cell to grow and divide in an uncontrolled way. Tumours that have high levels of these receptors are referred to as HER2-positive (HER2+).
About one in five women have HER2+ cancer cells. Treatment with targeted therapies, such as Herceptin® is usually recommended.
The use of the Oncotype DX Breast Cancer Assay or Oncotype DX test is still new in Australia, but it is widely used in the United States.
In Australia, this test costs $5000, and is not currently covered by either Medicare or private health funds.
The Oncotype DX test uses a sample of breast tissue to analyse a group of 21 genes. These genes help predict the risk of breast cancer coming back after treatment and if you are likely to benefit from chemotherapy after surgery (adjuvant chemotherapy).
Women who are suitable for this test include:
Talk to your doctor if you would like to know more about this test. A pathologist will take a portion of the tumour tissue, which will be sent to America, where all Oncotype DX testing is currently done. Your doctor will usually receive the results within 2–3 weeks.
If the tests described above show you have breast cancer, one or more tests may be done to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of your body. The test and scan results will be written in a pathology report.
Blood samples may be taken to check your general health, and also to look at your bone and liver function for signs of cancer.
Your doctor may take an x-ray of your chest to check your lungs for signs of cancer.
A CT (computerised tomography) scan is a type of x-ray procedure that takes pictures of the inside of the body. Unlike a standard x-ray, which takes a single picture, a CT scan uses a computer to compile many pictures of the body. It can show if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or other organs.
To make the scan pictures clearer and easier to read, you may have to fast (not eat or drink). You will also be asked to drink a liquid and have an injection of a dye into a vein in your arm. This can make you feel hot all over for a few minutes.
You will lie flat on a table while the CT scanner, which is large and round like a doughnut, takes pictures. This painless test takes about 30–40 minutes.
A bone scan may be done to see if the breast cancer has spread to your bones. A small amount of radioactive material is injected into a vein, usually in your arm. This material is attracted to areas of bone where there is cancer.
After a few hours, the bones are viewed with a scanning machine, which sends pictures to a computer. This scan is painless and will not make you radioactive. You should drink plenty of fluids on the day of and the day after the test.
A PET (positron emission tomography) scan is a specialised test, which is rarely done for breast cancer. It uses low-dose radioactive glucose to measure cell activity in different parts of the body.
A small amount of glucose is injected into a vein, usually in your arm. You will need to wait for about an hour for the fluid to flow through your body.
You will then lie on a treatment table that moves through a scanning machine. This body scan will show 'hot spots' where the fluid has accumulated – this happens where there are active cells, like cancer cells
While a PET scan is not a routine test, it may be used if other types of scans don't give doctors the information they need.
There are extra costs associated with some tests and scans, depending on whether you are treated in a public or private hospital. Talk to your medical team for information about how much you will be charged.
The tests described on above show if the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Working out how far the cancer has spread is called staging. Stages are numbered from I to IV.
|Stages of early breast cancer
|Stage I
|The tumour is less than 2 cm in diameter and has not spread to the lymph nodes in the armpit.
|Stage IIA
|The tumour is less than 2 cm in diameter and has spread to the lymph nodes in the armpit.
|The tumour is between 2 cm and 5 cm in diameter and has not spread to the lymph nodes in the armpit.
|Stage IIB (early)
|The tumour is 2-5 cm in diameter and has spread to the lymph nodes.
|Stages IIB (advanced), III and IV refer to advanced breast cancer. For information about these stages, call Cancer Council 13 11 20 or visit Cancer Australia.
The cancer will also be given a grade. The grade describes how fast the cancer is growing.
|Grade 1
(low grade)
|Cancer cells look a little different from normal cells. They are usually slow growing.
|Grade 2
(intermediate grade)
|Cancer cells do not look like normal cells. They are growing faster than grade 1 but not as fast as grade 3.
|Grade 3
(high grade)
|Cancer cells look very different from normal cells. They are fast growing.
Prognosis means the expected outcome of a disease.
Most people with early breast cancer can be treated successfully. Survival rates have increased significantly over time due to better diagnostic tests and scans, earlier detection and improvements in treatment methods. According to recent statistics, the five-year survival rate for women with IDC, the most common type of breast cancer, is 90%.
A cure may still be possible for people with other types of breast cancer. For many, treatment can improve quality of life.
You will be cared for by health professionals who specialise in different aspects of your treatment. You may also see other allied health professionals who work alongside the doctors and nurses.
Allied health professionals provide important care and support services. The following health professionals may be in your multidisciplinary team (MDT).

Andrology – Disorders, Clinic Services and Male Care
Andrology is a medical specialty that deals with the health and disorders of the male sex. Andrology is committed to the treatment, research, education and patient care of male infertility, with particular focus on the male reproductive system and urologic issues unique in men. Also, an andrologic clinic specializes in laboratory aspects of infertility diagnosis.
Some of the disorders treated by andrology specialists are:
- Impotence or erectile dysfunction
- Infertility
- Intersex and transsexuality
- Ejaculatory disturbances
- Penile curvature
- Priapism
- Sperm conducting system defects
- Andrologic cancer (scrotum, testes, penis)
- Hypospadias
- Swelling of scrotum
- Intra-scrotal content
- Veneral disease
- Groin swelling and hernias
- Delayed puberty
- Penile torsion
Components of the Male Reproductive System
The male reproductive system consists of several organs acting to produce spermatozoa and to deliver it to the female reproductive tract. The system depends on testosterone, produced in the testis, and it is regulated by the pituitary and the hypothalamus. The components are:
- Testis – site of germ cell development.
- Scrotum – houses and protects testis.
- Epididymis – tubule connected to the testis to bring spermatozoa.
- Vas deferens – transports mature spermatozoa to the prostatic urethra.
- Seminal vesicles – contribute with 70% of the fluid volume of the ejaculate, rich in fructose and prostaglandins.
- Prostate – 25% of the fluid, rich in zinc, critic acid, choline, acid phosphatase, seminin, important for the function of spermatozoa during and after ejaculation.
- Penis – responsible for the delivery of male germ cells to the female tract
The male reproductive tract is dependent on the endocrine and nervous systems.
Common Andrology Services
Some services provided by andrologic clinics include:
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
- Sperm preparation for IVF
- Male infertility consultation
- Sperm cryopreservation
- Sperm harvest
- Intrauterine insemination
- Semen analysis
- Cancer treatment
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation
- Surgery
Specialized Tests
- Sperm Morphology Classification
- Sperm Viability Testing
- Hypo-osmotic Swelling Test
- Anti-sperm antibodies
- Leukocytospermia
Andrology Specialists Recommendations
To prevent disease and maintain reproductive health, andrology specialists recommend
- regular exercise
- lead a healthy lifestyle
- scan the testes regularly for abnormalities, in order to prevent cancer among other disorders.

A77 memory card write speed
Dec 3, 2011
I did some test how fast my A77 can write to different types of memory cards. I have 3 card at hand:
Sandisk Extreme 8GB Class 10 30MB/s
Sandisk Extreme Pro 8GB UHS-1 45MB/s
Sandisk Extreme Pro 32GB UHS-1 95MB/s
I tested with the following settings:
DRO off
The results were quite interesting:
fast cards like the UHS-1 types only make sense if you shoot raw
a class 10 card is more than enough if you only shoot jpeg
here are my results (I did shoot for 20sec then waited until the buffer had flushed)

Batman Forever
Batman Forever
Release Date:
1995 - Warner Bros.
Joel Shumacher
Val Kilmer - Batman/Bruce Wayne, Tommy Lee Jones - Two-Face/Harvey Dent, Jim Carrey - Riddler/Edward Nygma, Nicole Kidman - Dr. Chase Meridian, Chris O'Donnell - Robin/Dick Grayson, Michael Gough - Alfred Pennyworth.
The Dark Knight of Gotham faces multiple villains again in "Two-Face" and the "Riddler". After a criminal throws acid in the face of handsome prosecutor Harvey Dent, the former District Attorney spawns a villainous multiple personality named "Two Face", horribly scarred on one side (the evil side), and beautiful on the other (good side), he is a crime lord obsessed with indiscriminate chance--due to his view of the injustice of his injury. Using a two-sided coin, he makes all decisions by flipping either heads or tails. Two-Face illogically blames Batman for his disfigurement and simply wishes him dead. The Riddler, real name Edward Nygma, is a disgruntled inventor and ex-employee of Wayne Enterprises. Terribly jealous of Wayne's success and sophistication, and rebuffed for the invention of a device that meddles with the human mind, he uses riddles to show his superiority over Wayne and Batman. Inserting herself into the mix is a sexy criminal psychologist who is turned on by the Batman's split personality syndrome. And a crime-figting partner is born when Two-Face tries to blow up the circus. Acrobat Dick Grayson becomes the high flying boy wonder "Robin" when his whole family is killed by Two-Face's actions. Feeling guilty because it was all a ploy to draw out The Batman, Bruce adopts Dick, and eventually the youth discovers the Batcave. Also introduced in this movie is new director Joel Schumacher, credited with killing the franchise by bringing in too much kitch and neon.

What a beautiful language German is! No wonder there's so many famous German poets, playwrites and composers! And actually German is also very much used in todays international business world! Whether you want to get better grades in school or you just want to be able to have a simple conversation on vacation or apply with a German company, as a native speaker I can help you reach your goals!
I grew up in the German part of Switzerland. I was exposed to the language throughout my schooling years. In my professional life as a doctor's assistant and later CEO assistant I needed to communicate daily in the German language. I studied business for 3 years. Over the last 3 years I have taught numerous people German. Some only need a little guidance, others keep on coming back to master more fluent conversation.
I'm flexible with my time and willing to adapt to my students' needs.
German started in my extended family and has gradually become a central part of my life. First I studied German for five years in grammar school. Then I traveled to Germany multiple times, and hosted Couschsurfers from Germany and Austria. My nephews are being raised bilingual in English and German, and I have both native and second language German speakers in my nuclear and extended family. Having this broad perspective on how German fits in the landscape of international communication, I can adapt a students' education to fit their needs whether it be in mastering school skills or learning German for travel, work or to build relationships.

Probate is the legal process used to carry out a person's will after their death; a probate attorney advises you on how to perform the steps in the process. In general, once you have identified and collected the dead person's belongings, including their money, property, and other assets, you pay the person's debts and taxes. Once all debts have been paid, you distribute their money and property according to the language of the will. If there is no will, the laws of the state where the dead person lived control how the property is distributed. A probate attorney helps you plan what happens to your property when you die, as they can probate wills and act as your probate court estate representative. A probate attorney also represents family members and beneficiaries wishing to challenge wills.

It is the second installment in The Expendables film series.
Principal photography took place over 14 weeks (beginning in September 2011) on an estimated $100 million budget. Film locations included Bulgaria, Hong Kongand New Orleans. Controversy arose over the accidental death of a stuntman and environmental damage caused during filming in Bulgaria.
The film was released in Europe on August 16, 2012 and in North America the following day. The Expendables 2 grossed over $310 million worldwide, with its greatest success outside North America. Critics generally considered the film an improvement over its predecessor (citing an increased use of humor and action scenes), but its plot and dialogue received negative reviews. A tie-in downloadable video game was released on July 31, 2012 as a prequel to the events of the film. A sequel, The Expendables 3, was released on August 15, 2014.
Mr. Church reunites the Expendables for what should be an easy paycheck, but when one of their men is murdered on the job, their quest for revenge puts them deep in enemy territory and up against an unexpected threat.

hello, Cerebral Palsy is usually caused by brain damage that occurs before or during a child's birth, or during the first 3 to 5 years of a child's life. since there is no genetic cause for this, there are no risk of giving birth to cp baby, if the delivery is unevent full. now the ideal time to have second baby is after 3yrs(2-3yrs ) of first baby, with out worring concieve for second baby, should have proper health check up during pregnancy ,, to have a uneventful delivery.

The second you launch your website online, you're accessible by an estimated audience of 1.8 billion people around the world. The thing is, even though English is traditionally the mother tongue of the Internet, 78 percent of web surfers don't speak English as their first language (in fact, China will soon be the dominant language in terms of users, if not pages, with 407.7 million online Chinese speakers fast closing the gap on 495.8 million English speakers, according to Internet World Stats).
If you're only targeting a limited demographic with your website — for instance, gig reviews for live music fans in Seattle — then you won't really be bothered one way or the other if your site is inaccessible to non-English speakers. But if you're in the business of selling products or services online, then you're essentially cutting out more than three quarters of your potential customers.
Research from Common Sense Advisory has shown that 85 percent of consumers — even multilingual ones — won't make important purchases from a website if they can't read about the product in their own language, and who could blame them?
More Reasons to Target Multiple Languages
There are other reasons to think about targeting multiple languages in your online marketing than purely the numbers, though.
One good point to consider is broadening your international customer base to protect against currency fluctuations. If your purchasers are buying from you in only one currency and that currency takes a dive, then so do your profits. But if you have a range of currencies coming in, then you're relatively safe.
Another good point to consider is that search engine competition in non-English markets is generally far less than among English language websites, simply because there are less websites overall, and therefore less keyword saturation. By creating localized and optimized websites for Germany, or China, or India, you've got a much better chance of climbing to the top of the local Google (or equivalent) rankings than you do with an English language site.
I saw that there was less competition in the European translation market, particularly in Germany and the Scandinavian countries, so I decided to test the waters with five translated and localized pages for my company's website. The results were so encouraging we went ahead and built fully localized sites for France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland (in French, German, and Italian), Belgium (in French and Flemish), the Netherlands, Luxembourg (in French and German), Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
Tips for Localizing Websites
When it comes to localizing websites, make sure to only use translators who are experts in the industry, and who live in the countries they will be translating for. Previous experience has taught me even if a translator is fluent in a language, their translations will often sound foreign to local ears if they aren't living in the country and absorbing the culture and the constant changes in the local idiom.
This is especially important for marketing collateral where branding is involved, as creating effective marketing requires a fine blend of nuance, cultural knowledge, and language use to subtly imprint your message in the reader's mind.
Simply creating these websites isn't the only step, though. To keep customers coming back, and to maintain your place in the search engine rankings, you have to keep your websites regularly updated with fresh original content that is of genuine use to the reader, and not just crammed with keywords to the point of incomprehension.

Computer science research and applications have grown increasingly data driven. At the same time, the natural sciences have experienced an explosion of data, and are being increasingly driven by computation. While historically the tools created in these two disciplines have been created in relative isolation of each other, increasingly there is bidirectional flow, with insights from machine learning, system modeling, visualization, and software engineering rapidly advancing the pace of scientific discovery, and the statistical rigor of the empirical sciences, driven by a desire to fundamentally understand how the world works, pushing the computational sciences.
The Nature + Computing team at MSR-Redmond is a diverse collection of researchers drawn from across the organization who develop and apply the tools of data science to scientific data and whose research interests are focused on the study of nature.
The broad aim of precision medicine is to understand the causal mechanisms underlying variation in clinical outcomes and to improve the efficiency of all aspects of medicine—from scientific discovery to bedside application and disease prevention. Our group is working on projects ranging from vaccine design, to cancer therapeutics, knowledge extraction and basic science using the tools of computational biology.
Our group focuses on improving mental health, developing personalized systems to recommend behavioral changes that affect a wide variety of outcomes, and developing technologies that transform the lives of individuals living with physical impairments.
We are committed to using the tools of computer science and machine learning to tackle some of the hardest challenges in environmental sustainability, including conserving biodiversity, ensuring robust food systems, and mitigating climate change.
The recent advances in biotechnology and the increasing challenges in electronics make this a good time to study how these two areas may interact. We are investigating how to apply biology to address current engineering challenges and how to apply engineering principles to the design and optimization of biological systems.

Nope. I got a mere 1/week cleaner to help the wife but her car should be a big "problem" along with every other car as well as mine. I like rules that are enforced consistently and equally. That's all. And yeah the 2garage folks do have more of the services parking. But I'm not jelly. Good for them. Just don't be a fucking hypocrite.
Quote:No I don't. What I'm trying to point out here that it's a bunch of dogwalking or evening stroll dickheads who want to see the foliage *perfectly* in the evenings. I'm a dogwalker. It's marginally nicer to not see parked cars. Overall? Who fucking cares. Get a life.
I guess if it were 23:00-07:00, I wouldn't care, but is that what you're doing? You get home at 23:00 and leave eight hours later?
Quote:This is interesting. You may be on to something. I'd need a lot more data. Certainly endless cars from 8am-7pm isn't a calculation here though.
You think having cars in the street in front of every house doesn't impact values?
You realize that you don't own the street in front of the house, right? It's common area, not your property to do with as you see fit.
Uhh yeah I do realize that, of course. I basically said a much before since I want to get the car as far on to the property as possible, possibly entirely. But the general vibe in most hoods is most common usage. If you haaaad to stick a car anywhere, would you put it in front of your own place or one of your neighbors?
Quote:I think it is. Some homes have shittier setups for two cars. Being a kind understanding neighbor would mean you just accept that. "Instead let's form a posse so we can all be insufferable pricks together. Ta-ta." If I ever become like this just shoot me.
It's not a matter of "handle."
Quote:All valid. I should go take a pic so you can fully understand how unproblematic this spot is.
I'm driving home the other day, and a kid loses his ball in the street and runs out in front of me. I stopped easily because I saw him from far away. Obstruct that view with a Honda Odyssey and neither of us see as well. I'm not saying it'll be a bloodbath in the streets, but it adds a degree of risk simply for the sake of you not having to move cars around because you didn't get the big garage. It's an obstruction in the road in a place where people are moving in and out constantly.
Yes, these people bought homes in a community of like-minded people and want to make sure the biggest investment in their lives is protected from people with no skin in the game, and they expect you to play by the rules of the place with which you voluntarily associate. What a bunch of assholes!
Congratulations on being the reason people hate renters.
"I don't have anything invested in this neighborhood, so fuck the people who do."
Congratulations on being the reason people hate renters.
"I don't have anything invested in this neighborhood, so fuck the people who do."
Yeah I'm just a renter. But I don't throw wild parties or wreck the place. I'd counter here that shit really hits the fan when an owner starts a monster reno. Lawsuits. Etc. Renters are mere tourists for a hood, long-term.
And "voluntarily associate with"? I didn't sign nada. No guidelines. Nothing. As far as I understand it's private property signed over on a legal agreement for full usage by me with all attendant rights and privileges.
"Community of like-minded people". Right. In the future I'm going to steer clear of such groups. Bow to the group or else. "Parking your car out front? Better check with the neighborhood gauleiter! He walks his dog past your place and you do *not* want to upset him."

I bought new kitchen appliances, and I got a call last week that they could deliver them on Monday (today) which is two days earlier than originally scheduled. They told me they would call again on Friday to confirm my delivery time, which they did. Today, I got a call from the delivery company "you didn't schedule your delivery out far enough, so we can't deliver until Thursday now."
The big reason I'm upset is they won't disconnect the old appliances, so last night I removed all my appliances and now they're sitting around for removal, so I don't have use of my kitchen for an extra three days.

Odd situation going on in the Piob house. Mrs. Piob, who's 10 months in to her one year probation with the new government job gig, is being offered a promotion to the bottom rung of upper management. It's pretty unheard of to be bumped to this level while still under probation but I'm trying to talk her out of it. They hired her in at the top pay grade, so the raise will be minimal, but of course it comes with the increased hours and responsibility one would expect. Trying to convince her to pass on it and wait for something better to come along. She's obviously impressed folks so I'm sure a better chance will come along within the year.
Just odd to talk someone out of a promotion like this.

Is she capped out, or is there potential for a grade increase along with the promotion?
Promotions can be a weird beast in government. My boss got promoted last year (into a spot basically nobody else wanted). He was already capped out on salary, so he basically doubled his responsibilities and got a lot less attractive job duties in exchange for a new title.

Supreme Court decides there is no point to the 'point of no return' test for insolvency defaults - .PDF file.
By Brian Cain
The wording of the provisions contained in section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986 is often incorporated into finance documents — in the instant case some loan notes — so that an event of default will occur if the debtor becomes insolvent within the meaning of the section.
Eurosail was a Lehman Brothers group special-purpose vehicle (SPV) set up to be the issuer of the relevant series of notes. BNY was the trustee of the loan notes. Section 123 with some minor modifications that are not material was incorporated into the notes. If Eurosail was unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123, BNY then had to decide whether to certify that occurrence as being materially prejudicial to the interests of the noteholders. If BNY certified Eurosail was unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123, there was an event of default. The effect of that would be to materially alter the ranking of the various noteholders in relation to their priority for payment of principal due on the notes. There was consequently a dispute between the noteholders of various classes as to how section 123 and the provision in the notes should be construed and applied. The question for the Supreme Court was whether Eurosail was unable to pay its debts as they fell due within the meaning of section 123…

I teach a simple, powerful style of meditation informed by ancient Buddhist methods and modern cognitive science. I've taught meditation at Harvard and NYU, to a leadership team at General Electric, at law firms, and to kids as young as seven.
I offer personal lessons and group workshops.
I also run Breathing Room NYC, a free meditation group for people with anxiety, and Mindfulness for Lawyers, which offers meditation workshops for lawyers and firms.
Simple Methods. Incredible Benefits.
Meditation can bring enormous benefits, even in the midst of our busy lives. Most of the buzz around meditation focuses on stress relief, and it absolutely does that. But the practice offers so much more: a radical happiness that doesn't depend on outward conditions.
Meditation isn't a religion or New Age fluff. It's a simple practice, validated by modern science, that introduces a calmer, more satisfying mode of being.
Meditation for Modern People
My mission is to help people experience the deepest benefits of meditation while living a full, engaged life.
We live in the modern world, and we like it that way. We have jobs, hobbies, and people we love. We're not interested in abandoning everything to live like monks. The good news is we don't have to.
The radical happiness of meditation is close at hand, whether you live in a Tibetan monastery (I'm guessing you don't) or a big city, like me. We just need to practice in a way that lets our meditation and daily activities feed one another rather than fight one another. That's what I teach.
My Background
I've been meditating for over a decade and have studied with masters from around the world. In 2014, the meditation master Culadasa guided me through seven months of silent retreat. After retreat, I moved to New York City, where my meditation practice keeps me from going nuts (more or less). Read more about me here.
Practice with Me!
If you want to arrange a meditation lesson or workshop, have a question, or just want to say hi, drop me a line below! I try to respond to emails within 24 hours.

Pros : Interiors good
Cons : very poor milage
Look and Style : pleasing, looks are somewhat acceptable.
Comfort : Not much Comfortable. Front seat monolithic. Very less boot space.
Pickup : very poor.
Mileage : very very poor, it gives 11.5 kmpl in city. They claim of more than 20 kmpl. And I don't think that is achievable by Hyundai in near future. Hyundai makes people fool by making such tall claims.
Best Features : I have to think about it.
Needs to improve : Pick up. Pick up is very less, which is more annoying in highways. Not a car to be the drive in a high way.
Overall Experience : Average. I am driving this car for last 10 months. and I am regretting buying this. I am planning to sell it. Moreover, in last 10 months, I have to visit more than 5 times to service centre. The executives are unable to identify the source of the problem and rectify the same in one go for small problems also. Keeping staff of low calibre.
i am a first buyer since cant say.
ya ur true loads of manufacturing defects in hyundai cars and except accent all other cars are crap in hyundai worst company worst service, worst cars
I bought i10 sports AT . The mileage /litre offered is never reached both city and long run. But it is in the paper only. Pick up is good compared to the engine capacity. Seat is not comfort
i-10 mileage is very low campier to other car.after sales service is also very poor
company claims for 20kmpl but my i10 1.2 KAPPA but giving 10 kmpl without A/C in delhi & 13.5 on highway without A/C,i complained to service center & says ur driving sense is not good while my other car is zen ESTILO which giving milege on highway 20 kmpl with the same driving sense
yes, the mileage is very poor. But the pick up is good in highways and while overtaking. The pickup may improve after using for some more time.

"The Hushabye Shell Afghan is a beautiful blanket that would be a great shower gift. The pattern is an easy shell stitch and the colts are great for a boy or girl. I am sure that it will keep baby nice and warm. It is made with a nice four ply yarn and should work up fast. This one to save for a later date."
"The wavy rainbow baby blanket is one of the cutest that I have seen. The colors are so bright that a baby will enjoy looking at it. The blanket could also be worked up in other colors that would be great for that special little one. this is not for a beginner, so if this is your first try at crocheting you may not want to try it. Looking forward to working on this."
"The Springtime Lace Afghan Pattern is so cute. It will make a great baby blanket for that special baby. This could be made in many different colors that will really be pretty.

"he Cape Cod Afghan is really a cute pattern. It would be a great one for beginners. The pattern only calls for two skeins of yarn. The pattern reads really easy.

This beautiful glass pendant from Diamond Tech will look like it is store-bought when you're done making it. It makes a unique necklace, or you can use a shorter chain for a trendy bracelet or anklet.
- 1 piece Fuseworks™ Yellow Sheet Glass
- Fuseworks™ Kiln Paper
- Fusework™ Fuse Art Decal - Floral
- Fuseworks™ Microwave Kiln
- Fuseworks™ Large Silver Pendant Bail
- Fuseworks™ Glass Cutter
- E6000® or other glass glue
- Using a glass cutter, cut two 1" x ¾" pieces of Yellow sheet glass. Clean glass using paper towel moistened with water. Completely dry the surface of the glass with a lint free cloth.
- Next, cut a 2" X 2" piece of kiln paper. Remove the lid from the Fuseworks™ Kiln. Place the kiln paper on the kiln base.
- Layer the two pieces of yellow glass on the kiln base. Carefully set the base with glass inside the microwave. Cover base and glass with kiln lid.
- Fuse at full (100%) power for 2 minutes; 30 seconds. PLEASE NOTE: All microwave and kiln combinations will have different firing patterns. Be sure to take careful notes and log all fusing times for future use. After time is up, open microwave and, using Hot Mitts, carefully lift the lid enough to inspect the fusing process. Add additional time in 30 second increments until desired results are achieved.
- Remove kiln from microwave using the Hot Mitts and place on a heat resistant surface. Cool the kiln for at least 40 minutes with the lid on. Removing the lid or peeking under the lid during the cooling will result in your piece cracking. Glass remains hot for a long time and should be handled with great caution. Cool your kiln completely.
- Remove the Fuseworks™ Floral Decals from their packaging. Use a scissors and cut the Gerber Daisies and the word "Dream" from the card.
- Place daisy decal in water for approximately 30 seconds. Slide the decal off the backing paper and position decal onto the glass surface, using image for placement. Pat dry using a paper towel. Repeat this process for "Dream" decal.
- Cut a 2" X 2" piece of kiln paper. Remove the lid from the Fuseworks™ Kiln. Place the kiln paper on the kiln base. Place the glass with the decal facing up in the center of the kiln. Place kiln inside a microwave and cover with lid.
- Fuse using the chart below.
- When firing is complete, open microwave and using Hot Mitts, carefully lift the kiln lid enough to inspect the glass. If your decal appears as a white silhouette, continue fusing at 15 second intervals until the white disappears.Remove kiln from microwave using the Hot Mitts and place on a heat resistant surface. Cool the kiln for at least 40 minutes with the lid on. Removing the lid or peeking under the lid during the cooling will result in your piece cracking. Glass remains hot for a long time and should be handled with great caution. Cool your kiln completely.
- When glass has completely cooled, adhere a large silver bail to the back of the pendant using a glass adhesive such as E6000®. Allow the adhesive to dry according to glue manufacturer direction. Slip pendant onto your favorite chain or choker and enjoy.

Medina College has been praised by Ofsted for making progress.
INSPECTORS have praised school leaders at Medina College for improvement efforts.
The Isle of Wight school was deemed to *require improvement in March 2015, but following their latest monitoring visit to the school, in January, Ofsted said senior leaders and governors were taking effective action to raise standards.
A greater culture of openness and collaboration, improved feedback, support for vulnerable students and efforts to improve behaviour under headteacher Karen Begley were all highlighted in the report, published this week.
Inspectors also commended the work done to stock the library with more books and involve the new librarian in helping raise literacy standards.
Executive headteacher Peter Shaw, who is also responsible for Carisbrooke College and the Island Innovation VI Form, was said to have been instrumental in the improvements.
"His determined, personable and effective leadership has promoted much greater collaboration between staff at Carisbrooke and Medina Colleges and he has sensibly welcomed support by Hampshire local authority advisers.
"Much has been achieved in the first four months of this new leadership arrangement," Ofsted said.
More work needed to be done on evaluating pupil progress and attendance for disadvantaged students, the report added.

Commercial Servicers Face Host of New Challenges
Commercial servicers are faced with a number of challenges in a complex and evolving environment. Increasingly loans are being split up, there are insurance issues in the aftermath of some major storms in recent years, as well as the ongoing terrorism insurance issue, there is the possibility, however small, of spillover of the recent subprime sector problems into the commercial mortgage arena. The emergence of the collateralized debt obligation product presents an opportunity as well as a challenge. Recent signs of excess in commercial mortgage lending, particularly on the securitization side, also point to the possibility of higher default risk down the road. These are the most talked about issues and would appear to be the ones at the top of most commercial servicers' minds. However, it emerges that the one issue of most concern to commercial servicers is technology and its use.
At the Mortgage Bankers Association's recent Commercial Real Estate Asset Administration & Technology Conference in San Antonio, some of the major issues were discussed. Even though loans have become increasingly complex and insurance issues have come to the fore recently, an audience poll at the conference revealed that servicers view technology as the most important challenge for them. After technology, other issues of concern to servicers are product complexity, need for standardized forms, mitigation of risk and importance of education.
While the subprime lending spillover factor was identified as an issue, this did not emerge to be a major concern for the servicers attending a wrap-up session at the conference. Communication, both internal and external, was another issue identified, along with company evolution, the regulatory environment and the insurance environment.
Risk mitigation is certainly on the mind of a lot of servicers. This is an emerging issue, according to Kathleen Dufraine, vice president, Global Realty Outsourcing, considering that credit enhancement and springing lock boxes are being talked about and environmental issues are coming to the fore.
Insurance will always be a key issue, according to Ms. Dufraine, and servicers need to work with the insurance industry. The MBA has created a committee and put out a white paper on the topic of force-placing insurance. Servicers have to adapt to changes, according to her. Outsourcing and offshoring are continuing to be popular options.
And as loan products get more complex, there will continue to be continued regulatory scrutiny.
As for the possible fallout from the subprime sector issues, Deborah Schiavo, managing director, Bear Stearns, said that as a consequence of B&C issues, the impact of which has been filtered down throughout the commercial and multifamily area, spreads have widened and underwriting has been highlighted. Lenders are becoming more conservative considering the possibility that they might take a hit on loans that will be securitized. The upside of this is that higher single-family defaults are likely to lead to more multifamily business.
About the importance of communication, Ms. Schiavo observed that it is surprising how little communication there is throughout the assumption process. Letting everyone in the process know what's going on can help borrowers be more patient.
Dan Szparaga, the MBA's acting vice president for the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization, believes that the MISMO initiative has a key role in dealing with all sorts of issues, facilitating the flow of information through the backend and providing potential for savings.
Suzie Bashore, vice president, information technology, Prudential Mortgage Capital, noted that Prudential's theme is trying to standardize a lot of processes and pinning down responsibility.
