Islamabad: India were all set for a clean sweep of badminton golds of the 9th SAF Games after the men and women lived up to their top billing and set up all-India finals in all the individual events today. Having won the team events, Indian men and women gave a clinical display today in the semifinals and booked all the berths in the individual finals to assure themselves of all the golds on offer in badminton. Chetan Anand and Abhinn Shyam Gupta will clash for the men's singles title after straight sets victory over local lad Wajid Ali Chaudhry and Sri Lankan Udrp Kumara respectively. Chetan defeated Wajid 15-10 15-4 while Abhinn accounted for Udrp 15-13 15-7. In the women's semifinals, B R Meenakshi thrashed Sri Lankan Renu Chandrika while Trupt Murugunde was even severe on another Lankan, Pamish Dishanthi Arumawadu, winning 11-0 11-1. Rupesh Kumar and Markose Bristow defeated Jayakody and Yaslal Edirisinghe of Sri Lanka 15-10 15-6 to set up the doubles final with Jaseel Ismal and Vidyadhar who knocked out home pair Umer Zeeshan and Rizwan Asghar Rana 15-11 15-2.

The mixed doubles final will be between the pairs of Bristow-Meenakshi and Jaseel-Gutta who advanced with contrasting wins. The former overcame Edirisinghe and Chandrika 15-5 15-17 15-10 while the latter waltzed past Aliyar Baig and Saima Manzoor of Pakistan 15-4 15-2. (PTI)

Guess where I'm drinking?
I asked the bartender to make her favorite specialty cocktail -- and I got a very, very sweet, lemony vodka martini that I'm sure most women would love, but I did not. My fault, not the bartender's.
For our next course we switched to wine, and it turned into a truly sweet evening.
Can you guess where I'm drinking?
Special bonus: Anyone who gives the first correct answer to the week's Where am I drinking/eating posts is entered into a pool -- and every Monday, we select one lucky winner who'll receive an EatDenver dining deck, worth up to $520 in discounts at independent restaurants.

State Treasurer John Kennedy, who serves as a substitute teacher about three times per year, said one reason that nearly one in four students in Louisiana public high schools fails to graduate in four years is lack of discipline.
"Too often there are one or two kids in every class who constantly interrupt and disrupt the learning process for themselves and others, often through physical and verbal abuse of the teacher and fellow students," Kennedy wrote in one of his periodic guest columns.
Kennedy praised a boot camp-style alternative school program launched in Rapides Parish for students who are often in trouble.
"The rules are simple: no jewelry, no graphic T-shirts, no green hair, no distractions," he said. "Alternative schools are one answer."
Finance Committee finds projections off
During a transportation hearing last week, state Senate Finance Committee Chairman Jack Donahue, R-Mandeville, noted that original cost estimates for 16 projects voters approved in 1989 were far off the mark.
The initial price tag was $2.5 billion. The latest is $4.7 billion, and two remain unfinished for the package called TIMED.
Donahue said officials were unable to find anyone in state government involved in the initial, woefully low estimates.
"How could we be so far off?" he asked.
Lieutenant governor recalls punny victory
Steve Clemons, Washington editor-at-large at The Atlantic, wanted Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne to recount his victory in a vile pun contest a few years ago, saying it would be the best way to open discussions on energy policy for a town hall in New Orleans.
The international contest was sponsored by San Jose State University to find the worst opening line of the worst novel imaginable. The contest is in honor of English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton, who wrote "The pen is mightier than the sword."
Dardenne fumbled with his phone to find the passage.
"Falcon was her name and she was quite the bird of prey; sashaying past her adolescent admirers from one anchor store to the other; past the kiosks where earrings long to lay upon her lobes; and sunglasses hope to nestle upon her nose; seemingly the beginning of a beautiful friendship with whomsoever caught the eye of the Mall Tease Falcon."
NRA backs Cassidy in La.'s U.S. Senate race
The National Rifle Association is backing Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy in Louisiana's heated Senate race.
Meanwhile, more than 500 local elected officials across the state backed the re-election of U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, the Democrat.
Cassidy faces Landrieu and tea party-backed Republican Rob Maness in the Nov. 4 election.
Maness has been endorsed by the National Association for Gun Rights, Gun Owners of America and Gun Rights Across America.
Education leader: Core concerns to increase
Scott Richard, executive director of the Louisiana School Boards Association, said parental concerns about Common Core will increase after the new school year's first round of grades come out in a few weeks.
Richard said there are plenty of reasons to slow implementation of the new standards "to get all of this right before we start hammering teachers and basing their pay on this experiment that we are calling Common Core."
Vitter 'gold standard' for overcoming scandal
The Washington, D.C.-based National Journal identifies Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana as the apparent "gold standard for surviving a political scandal" in an article this week on how politicians have weathered public embarrassments.
"Vitter may well be the Teflon Don of political sex scandals," the DC-insider publication writes of Louisiana's GOP front-runner for governor in 2015.
Vitter, who's in his second term in the U.S. Senate, formally announced his plans to run for governor earlier this year.
"The evidence suggests that, if you can trudge through the first few weeks of bad press and public outcry, voters will eventually leave you alone — or better yet, forget all about you," the National Journal writes.

- Witch Healer Pendant
Witch Healer Pendant
By Abby Willowroot
The Witch Healer Pendant is from Abby's Traditional Witch Designs Collection. Some whimsical, some powerful, all honoring the witch within!
In medieval Europe a 'witch' was often a wise person, usually a wise woman, one who was skilled in the healing arts. She may have had knowledge of ancient herbal medicines and was often a midwife as well. Her religious beliefs, if she had any, were more often than not a faith based on the ancient environment which surrounded her and thus she had a supreme belief in, and respect for Nature. Her faith lay in the sun, the moon, the forest, and in all livings creatures. She also had a special reverence for the seasons of the year and the seasonal festivals celebrating the change in the weather and the harvesting of crops.
Today, we are again seeing these witches in our midst. They are the herbalists, midwives and witch-priestesses who heal our spirits, bodies and hearts. Our Witch Healer Pendant is perfect for celebrating this tradition. A charming cloaked figure moves through the fog, bringing her cauldron and herbs. She is a healer, a guardian of ordinary folks. The pendant honors this much respected person, the midwife who brings babies safely into the world; the healer who is knowledgeable about herbs, ointments, and potions; the wise woman who people turn to in times of trouble, disease and sadness.
This beautiful Witch Healer Pendant is cast from 100% lead-free pewter and serves as a celebration of witch healers past and present.
Includes free cord or chain. Measures approximately 1 1/4" high.
Each of Abby's wands and jewelry pieces are made in California, U.S., with care and skill. Each one is made with the finest materials, positive intent, careful craftsmanship and great energy, everything a fine wand deserves, a fine piece of jewelry deserves... and more importantly... Everything You deserve!
Each is made of Lead-Free Pewter.

Like the iPhone, the Apple Watch uses transparency to add glitz to its interface. But did you know that you can easily disable transparency on the Apple Watch? Yes, it's simple and quick to turn off transparency.
How to disable transparency on the Apple Watch
To turn off transparency on your Apple Watch, follow these simple steps:
1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the My Watch tab at the bottom of your iPhone's screen.
3. Tap on General.
4. Tap on Accessibility.
5. Tap on Reduce Transparency
6. Tap on the Reduce Transparency switch to turn it off.
Why disable transparency on your Apple Watch?
There are two primary reasons why you might want to disable transparency on your Apple Watch:
1. It will help make text and other parts of the Apple Watch interface more legible.
2. It may also help conserve the battery power of the Apple Watch.
Of course perceptions about legibility will vary from user to user, but it's certainly worth giving it a shot. And it certainly won't hurt your battery life, and may help extend it significantly beyond it's usual range.
Reducing transparency came up in a recent Reddit thread and redditors had their own thoughts to share about whether or not it was worth doing:
Tastybread: "...I reduced the transparency and I swear everything is moving much faster. Third party apps seem to be loading faster in glances as well. Hey Siri seems more alert too. Also you're right: it looks much better this way."
ThatCoyote: "When you posted that I immediately changed to reduced. It looks way better."
My_Normal_Account: "...just tested. Definitely is faster in certain areas. Swiping in glance mode is completely smooth now. Before it was [really] choppy if going too fast. Pleasantly surprised."
Dead_smed: "Thinking this might also make any improvement to the battery life?"
Johnthepaptest: "Yes probably. It's an established fact that turning off transparency in Windows 7 saved laptop battery life by reducing processor load. It's the reason Microsoft removed transparency in Windows 8. And it's probably the same deal with the Apple Watch.
EDIT: Also, the Apple Watch uses an OLED screen. Black pixels on OLED screens receive no electricity and produce no light, so yes, Reduce Transparency will definitely save battery on Apple Watch."
Eriamjh1138: "Transparency just makes me feel like my eyes are going bad."
DrewDCA: "You are right, it's much prettier turned off."
I disabled transparency on my Apple Watch
Like the folks in the Reddit thread, I turned off transparency on my own Apple Watch. I found that legibility did indeed increase, it was significantly easier to see things on my watch. And I also found that I did not miss transparency in an aesthetic sense at all. The watch interface still looked great without having transparency enabled.
As far as battery life goes, I didn't notice too much of a difference though I did have about seven percent more battery life at the end of the day without transparency being on. I ended up with around thirty two percent battery life left instead of twenty five percent. So disabling transparency seemed to help extend the battery life of my Apple Watch a bit.
My advice is to disable transparency on your Apple Watch and see if you like it. If it's something that you can live without then you may find that your Apple Watch is easier to view, and that its battery will last a bit longer than usual.

Wallabies name unchanged line-up
Australia has named an unchanged team for this weekend's second test against Wales in Melbourne on Saturday, despite concerns over the fitness of tighthead prop Sekope Kepu.
Kepu strained a tendon in his forearm during the 27-19 victory over the Six Nations champions in the opening match of the three-match series in Brisbane last weekend but has been named in the starting line-up, subject to a fitness test.
"We are hopeful that 'Keps' will be good to go, but we do have a contingency plan in place if we need it," Wallabies coach Robbie Deans said.
"There are five props in the group we have with us in Melbourne so we saw no need in bringing anyone extra in."
Ben Alexander, who can play on both sides of the front row and is named as a replacement, is most likely to step into the breach should Kepu prove unable to play at Docklands on Saturday night.
Berrick Barnes retains the number 10 shirt after a much-improved performance against the Welsh than he showed in last Tuesday's shock 9-6 defeat to Scotland in Newcastle.
Kurtley Beale, who along with fellow fly half options Quade Cooper and James O'Connor missed last week's matches through injury, has not sufficently recovered from his shoulder problem to be considered for selection for Saturday's second test.
Although pleased with his side's improved performance at Lang Park, Deans said the victory would not have dented Welsh confidence that they can win a test in Australia for the first time since 1969.
"That belief won't have been altered by last Saturday night," Deans says.
"If anything, that game - and more particularly the opportunities that they were able to create within in it - will only have hardened their resolve."
Wallabies squad:
Adam Ashley-Cooper, Cooper Vuna, Rob Horne, Pat McCabe, Digby Ioane, Berrick Barnes, Will Genia,Wycliff Palu, David Pocock, Scott Higginbotham, Nathan Sharpe, Rob Simmons, Sekope Kepu, Tatafu Polata Nau, Benn Robinson
Stephen Moore, Ben Alexander, Dave Dennis, Michael Hooper, Nic White, Anthony Faingaa, Mike Harris

Sclerotherapy Procedure Made my Leg Veins Worse

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
Okay, these do get points for being inexpensive and stretchy. They would probably be fine for a recital. However, compared to the pricier tights, they don't compare if used for competition. The rhinestones had glue hanging from them and the fishnet itself was wider and thicker than I was expecting. I will be sticking with Bodywrappers for quality and appearance.

Was this review helpful to you? YES (
Bought these for girls age 11-13. The fit was good. On some legs too long but were able to pull up so fit was great. All girls were able to get on without tearing. Seem more durable than I would expect for disposable. Would recommend.
Great price, great quality, and great for performance.

When Tommy Tuccillo -- owner of Just for You, a stuffed-toy and flower delivery company in New York -- learned that one his main products, Ollie the Turtle, would appear in the movie ''Cop Land,'' he decided to cash in. In the film, an Ollie is pictured briefly in scenes involving Sylvester Stallone and Annabella Sciorra. In real life, Tuccillo ordered up 10,000 Ollies -- in sizes ranging from six inches to four feet, priced from $8 to $150 -- and arranged to sell them in Manhattan movie theaters. In realest life, it didn't work: Ollie's cameo just didn't electrify the masses. ''I guess kids aren't really seeing 'Cop Lan' and saying, 'Daddy, I want that!' '' says Tuccillo. Apparently not. Only one Ollie was sold opening night.Continue reading the main story

Author: Cesare Vecellio (Italian, Pieve di Cadore 1521–1601 Venice)
Artist: After Cesare Vecellio (Italian, Pieve di Cadore 1521–1601 Venice)
Artist: Christoph Krieger (German, born Nuremberg, died Venice, ca. 1590)
Publisher: Damiano Zenaro (active Venice, 1563–ca. 1604) , Venice
Date: 1590
Medium: Woodcut
Dimensions: Overall: 6 9/16 x 4 15/16 x 2 1/16 in. (16.7 x 12.5 x 5.2 cm)
Classifications: Books, Ornament & Architecture
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1906, transferred from the Library
Accession Number: 21.36.146
Cesare Vecellio, who joined the workshop of his famous cousin Titian before 1548, was active as a publisher by 1570. This book contains 420 illustrations of costumes (exotic and domestic) by the woodcutter Christoph Krieger and marks the culmination of a trend that began in the mid-sixteenth century with a series of costume engravings by Enea Vico. The first section of his book covers European dress, including Ottoman Turkey, while the short section on Africa and Asia includes the costume of Persians, Moors, and Arabs. Here the book is open to Vecellio's engraving of La favorita del Turco. The elegantly dressed woman is probably meant to be Roxelane, a beautiful concubine who became the favorite wife and confidant of the Ottoman sultan Süleyman the Magnificent (r. 1520–66).

"Natural gas midstream operations" is industry shorthand for the processing, conditioning and treatment of that commodity once it comes out of the ground. Wellhead gas is moved by way of a pressure differential created by compressor stations, through pipelines to gas processing plants. Processing removes water, CO2, and other materials, so that the resulting finished gas meets applicable quality, safety, environmental and business standards. The subsequent salable gas product manufactured by a processing facility is then delivered to customers via transmissions pipelines.
Gas gathering and processing are often described as the "Midstream Segment" of the natural gas value chain.
These functions include multiple processes to separate natural gas, by extracting liquefied hydrocarbons into bulk natural gas liquids (NGLs). These resulting NGLs can be further processed by fractionating facilities into:
- Ethane,
- Propane,
- Butanes, and
- Pentanes plus (natural gasoline).
NGLs are used for production of plastics, the manufacture of gasoline and for consumers' heating and cooking needs.
America's private pipeline network spans 2.6 million miles, and transports 64 percent of the energy commodities consumed in the country.
The following table summarizes some of the key pending or proposed regulations that affect the Midstream natural gas segment:
Regulation Table (pdf)
Regulations Affecting Midstream Operations
Natural Gas Transmission and Gathering
- On May 12, the US EPA issued three final rules requiring the oil and gas industry to further ratchet down on methane GHG emissions from new and modified production and related infrastructure. New and Modified Sources of Methane GHG Emissions — The final regulations will add an estimated $530 million in additional costs by 2025, according to the US EPA, and represents a 25 percent increase in estimated costs from that contained in the proposed rule last summer. US EPA estimates the combined benefits of the final rule to total $690 million by 2025. The new regulations on new and modified sources are effective immediately and also will now embrace low-producing wells as well as require more frequent site inspections (link to final rule).
- Source Aggregation — This final rule addresses when to combine, or "aggregate" air permits for oil and gas sector sources by narrowing the scope of the aggregation. The new rule sets for the first time delineates a threshold to assess when emissions from facilities are adjacent via a three-part test that theoretically make it easier for permitting agencies and applicants in making consistent source determinations under prevention of significant deterioration and new source review programs (link to proposed rule).
- Tribal Lands — This final rule provides for issuance of a Federal Implementation Plan for new source review permitting for oil and gas production on tribal lands. US EPA claims the new rule will streamline the preconstruction permitting process though industry sources take issue with that (link to final rule).
US EPA also issued a request for information from the industry relative to existing sources of methane GHG emissions that are largely viewed as the precursor to their future regulation.
- "Information Collection Request (ICR) — EPA issued an initial draft of an ICR that seeks a broad range of information from the oil and gas industry on how various pieces of equipment (e.g., compressor stations, processing facilities) are or can be configured to impact emissions controls, how installation of this equipment can be accomplished, and what the costs are to do so. The ICR will be sent to a representative sample of the impacted industry and an additional round of requests could occur later this year. The ICR is a prelude to eventual regulation, likely in 2017, of existing sources of methane GHG emissions."
Separately, PHMSA announced on May 6th its intent to regulate underground natural gas storage.
- Underground Storage — This is largely PHMSA's response to emissions related to the leakage from the Aliso Canyon storage facility in the Los Angeles area. Collectively, all of these regulations are certain to spur further debate (and litigation) in this area.

UNTIL AUGUST 27TH: Endless Endeavors
LSE Library, London.
The LSE Library summer exhibition marks the 150th anniversary of a petition to Parliament signed by 1,499 women calling for women's suffrage. The exhibition celebrates the achievements of those early suffragists and the organisation which became the Fawcett Society. Although the 1866 petition was unsuccessful, the Fawcett Society regards this moment as its foundation.
'I think the most important thing is to make a demand and commence the first humble beginnings of an agitation…' wrote Helen Taylor to Barbara Bodichon in May 1866. Less than a month later, John Stuart Mill MP presented the women's suffrage petition to Parliament.
For many people the right of women to vote is taken for granted, but it was actively campaigned for 62 years before it was won. It was not until the 1928 Equal Franchise Act that women over 21 could vote on the same terms as men.
On display is an original pamphlet of the 1866 petition which was sent to weekly newspapers in July of that year. It is one of two known copies in the country. A beautiful suffrage banner and hanging inspired by the petition are also on show. In 1913, the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies presented Millicent Garrett Fawcett, its President, with a brooch encrusted in green, red and white jewels, the colours of the suffragists. This newly-discovered brooch is displayed for the first time.
If you would like to know more about the stories behind the exhibition or would like to arrange a group visit contact Gillian Murphy: email@example.com.

This test was taken on Computer.
Study: I've read the TExES EC-12(161) book however, this book was not enough. The book is a good overview. It represents the main ideas, but you must find "supportive evidence" for main ideas. The Texas Teachers training module was an excellent study resource. I purchased the book "Curriculum, Assessment and Instructions for Students with Disability". I read the chapters on emerging readers and teaching math. I used 4 domains and 12 competencies as my study map.
Test: When I studied and when I took the test, I kept in mind the main philosophy of Special Education. The test seemed to be easier than I expected. There were mostly scenario based questions. As a legally blind person, I had to use the personal reader which requires a tremendous amount of concentration. I completed the test in four hours. I passed with a 254!
This test was taken on Computer.
Study: T-Cert was the first tool I used to prepare me for the test. Then I purchased a Certify Teacher testing preparation program. I quizzed myself with self-made flashcards every opportunity I could. Understanding the competencies is crucial. I passed on the first attempt with a 258. I feel that certify teacher prepared me for the test. Passing on the first attempt made the expense of the program worth it.
Test: The test was surprisingly harder than I expected. Domain four was more difficult than I thought it would be. Understanding what the competencies are was most helpful for helping me passing the exam.
This test was taken on Computer.
Study: I highly recommend doing the Special Education Teachers module here on Texas Teachers - it was a great resource and helped me feel well prepared for all sections except Domain III, competencies 8 & 9, teaching English Language Arts/Reading/Math. I checked out several resources from the library that focused on these topics, the most helpful of which was: Curriculum, Assessments, and Instruction by Bigge. There are two chapters on ELA and one on Math which were great for concepts and context. What iced it for me was biting the bullet and paying the $55 for certifyteacher.com. Going through all 160-odd ELA and Math questions really got me comfortable with the variety of what could be asked. I really appreciated the opportunity to sit down and take a full 120 question test to understand what it would be like. I also appreciated walking through the flashcards as well. I used the resources provided by the TExES prep manual, which I highly recommend, but it definitely is insufficient on its own. I used T-CERT, which, by the time I got there, I knew most of the information (from the Texas Teachers module). I studied for 5 weeks, averaging 15 - 20 hours per week.
Test: As I worked through the 120 question test at home in just over two hours (recognizing at that point, I had seen all of the ELA/Math questions and several of the others were repeats), it was a bit of a surprise to have taken a full 4.5 hours to complete the test. I found it helped me tremendously to write out the key words of the question and the answer choices on my scratch paper to work through the details in my mind. I had time to go back and check the ones I marked, and I think I changed one, but it was reassuring to have the time to go back. If you have adequately prepared, I think you will find the test more long than hard. It definitely is primarily application questions, so you must understand the concepts of each domain and competency well enough to apply them, and I thought the questions on certifyteacher.com were very helpful in practicing application, as well as their description of the whys behind each correct answer. I got a 277, and that echoed how I felt coming out of the test - which was that I had an informed opinion on almost all of the questions and felt pretty good about how well I did. I took the test on a Friday, and found out my scored early afternoon the following Tuesday. This was my first test of this type to take.!
This test was taken on Paper.
Study: I studied for about a month and a half. The first two weeks I read the REA book and highlighted important areas. The next two weeks I studied Certify teacher (Excellent for practice tests!). Certify teacher helped with understanding the type of questions to expect for each domain. The final two weeks I reviewed TCERT (great at explaining the different types of disabilities and how to instruct them regarding their disability); I also watched a couple of Youtube SPED videos as an overview of what I have learned. Make sure you check your out the free practice tests from google. When all the questions become repetitive...that's when you know your ready. Just make SURE you STUDY!
Test: I passed with 261! The test is not as hard as many try to say if you had enough time to prepare. The test had questions regarding the different types of disabilities(ex. dyslexia). I had about five math questions, none of them were too hard. Make sure you know how to calculate your percentages off a certain item. The test was about 70% scenario based it seemed, on how to instruct a disability. Other questions were more factual questions.
This test was taken on Computer.
Study: I used the XAMOnline book, as well as the TeXes study guide. I read a lot of the book and answered the study questions for both.
Test: I passed the test the first time with a 260. It was very long and I had to get up and take a break. I went through the test twice and really took my time. Pay close attention to what the question is asking. There were a lot of Asperger's questions on the test. It really helped to answer the practice questions first.
This test was taken on Computer.
Study: I used T-Cert, Certify Teacher, and EC-6 book. I also took component of sped and a generalist class.
Test: The test was as hard a I thought it would be. You need to focus on what the question is asking for. The questions were mostly about learning disabilities and your responsibility as a educator, in addition to about 20 questions on reading and 20 on math. I passed the first time with 251. Make sure you recheck questions you may doubt. Have faith you will pass and don't over study because you will forget important things. Good Luck!
This test was taken on Computer.
Study: I used the terms on Quizlet to study as well as some information from the online courses for Texas Teachers. I tend to procrastinate so I actually began studying two weeks before the exam. I would have long study sessions at my local coffee shop. If I could go back, I would study for shorter amounts of time and start at least 1 month before the test. I'd also purchase a study book to become familiar with the types of questions that would be asked. Quizlet helped to familiarize me with the information but did not help with the depth.
Test: The test contained a bit more than I thought would be on it. But, like most tests, you could deduct what the best answer is if you know the purpose of Special Education. Keep in mind, however, that grade level definitely does make a difference in some of the answers. In preparing for the test, you should use the prep manuals given by TExES to review the competencies to develop a more in-depth idea of what the questions want from you.
This test was taken on Paper.
Study: I studied for the test using REA and felt ready until I took the T-Cert course online. The T-Cert helped fill in the gaps that the REA book missed. I studied for about an hour a day 2 weeks before the test as well as one full Saturday. I had a lot of knowledge going into the test because of working in special education as an aide. I believe that helped me the most.
Test: The test was much harder than I thought it would be. I was caught off guard with the amount of Language Arts and Math questions. I had expected there to only be situation based questions. In the end I had marked 41 questions to go back and review, mostly Language Arts. I was scared I hadn't passed but ended up getting my results 3 days later and passed with a 290! I took 4 hours and 30 minutes with one 3 minute break. I had time to go through the entire test twice to double check my answers. My advice is to focus on the laws and language arts. Good Luck!
This test was taken on Paper.
Study: I studied for this exam using Quizlet and the REA Texes study guide. The best advice that I found on the online study community was to take the Special Ed online course before your test. That course is designed to prepare you for the actual test.
Test: The test was mostly scenario-based which I had expected. I finished in under 2 hours. I took the test on a Thursday and received score on Tuesday. I passed with a 276.
This test was taken on Computer.
Study: Do the modules located at https://pact.tarleton.edu/TCERT/index.cfm. They were EXTREMELY helpful! Take the practice test and read all of the handouts they offer! It seems like a lot but it really isn't. I completed the module once only and didn't really study anything else.
Test: While taking the test itself, imagine the "perfect" school environment. The questions are designed to assume the school has an unlimited budget along with unlimited time. I ended up scoring a 272 out of 300! GOOD LUCK :)

enough time to congratulate you there and then. It's nice to see clever,
but easily accessible, maths smarts bear fruit.
Only 6 minutes work, by the looks of it. Scaling up indicates that 10^12
might take (on a similarly sized number) over 2 years. I reckon a sieve
should do that range in minutes.
I wonder if some bizarre kinky 3-way divide-and-conquer CRT
split/sort/combining method would win the race though. (That's all most of
these square tests are - checking simultanious modular properties)
However, I guess the efficacity of either will have to remain unknown
until someone actually encounters such a situation where they need just
2 extra digits, and they've already ECMed like Billy-oh. I trust they'll
pipe up when they do (David? Andy? Anyone?!). Well in advance, that is,
if they're interested in the CRT one - it's just random firings in my
brain at the moment, but it's just a gut feel that it should work, and
my guts are usually right. However, the GenSv method is ready to roll
as we speak.
First rule of Factor Club - you do not talk about Factor Club.

Master in European and International Financial Law LL.M.
University of Luxembourg, Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance
This specialisation covers all theoretical and practical aspects in the field of banking and financial law. European law is taught both as a subject matter (European Securities Law, European Banking Law, European Investment Funds Law, European Company Law) but also on a comparative basis. The programme includes also lectures on Banking and Securities Law of several European jurisdictions.
The programme benefits from the support of prestigious private and public partners. The proximity of the EU institutions and Luxembourg's role as the leading financial centre for investment funds in Europe, make the Faculty an ideal place for gaining expertise in banking and financial law. With an option to further specialise in Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) during the last semester, students can further enhance their knowledge of the laws regulating Undertakings for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities (UCITS).
Why specialise in European Banking and Financial Law at the University of Luxembourg?
- Support of prestigious private and public partners, at the European and national level: the European Investment Bank, the European Investment Fund, the Ministry of finance, the Luxembourg Central Bank, the Securities Regulatory Commission, and the Insurance regulator, the Luxembourg Banking Business association, Luxembourg Stock Exchange, Arendt & Medernach, Bonn & Schmitt, Bonn Steichen & Partners, Elvinger Hoss & Prussen and Linklaters.
- Unique in Europe: Specialise in "Investment fund" during the second semester: The Collective investment schemes (CIS) option prepares 20 students for a legal career in the field of collective investment schemes or investment funds Law.
- Sharpen your English and French language skills, thanks to bilingual programme (specialised language training in legal English and French is offered by the University during the year).
- Selected lectures at the House of Finance (Goethe University Frankfurt). Moreover, a large amount of lectures and seminars are delivered by first-rate practitioners from above mentioned law firms chosen for their individual expertise.
Investment fund specialisation
The option Collective investment schemes (CIS) , is a track of the Master in European and International Financial Law's specialisation in European Banking and Financial Law second semester. With no other university offering legal training in CIS Law of comparable depth, the features of this program are unique in Europe.
Career opportunities
Foreign students can return in their country to practice law. Students can also decide to stay in Luxembourg and work in a financial institution in Luxembourg. In order to work in a Luxembourg law firm, students will need to take the Luxembourg bar exam. Preparation to the bar exam starts in October and last around 6 months. More information on the preparation (Cours complémentaires en droit luxembourgeois or CCDL ») can be found at: http://www.mj.public.lu/professions/avocat/stage_judiciaire/index.html.
Students, who are already lawyers in their home jurisdiction, when it is a Member State of the European Union, do not have to take the Luxembourg bar exam.
In general, students have no problem to find a highly qualified job in Luxembourg. The level of compensation in Luxembourg is competitive compared to other countries.
Students can also decide to start a PhD. Positions are available on a regular basis.
Structure of Studies
1 year LL.M.
Qualified and motivated advanced law students are welcome at the University of Luxembourg and are encouraged to directly enter into the European Economic and Financial Criminal Law specialization. During the one-year Programme, each student will follow an established curriculum intended to give him or her in-depth knowledge of, and practical training in, European Economic and Financial Criminal Law. Applicants must have already successfully completed four years of law studies (Master/240 ECTS), including courses on criminal law and European Union law.
2 year LL.M.
Students not meeting the criteria for the 1-year LL.M. may apply for a 2-year LL.M., with the first year thereof being common to all LL.M. programmes offered by the University of Luxembourg. Students in that first year may choose courses from a variety of offerings in European, comparative, and international law. Applicants must have successfully completed three years of law studies (Bachelor/180 law ECTS) to be considered for the optional 2-year Programme.
The first semester program is dedicated to learning the basis of European banking and financial law. The second semester is dedicated to seminars and case based learning. Since 2012, students can choose, upon agreement of the direction of the program, to follow in the second semester an "Investment funds" track.
A selected number of students, upon availability, can take part free of charge in the high level "Islamic Finance Seminar" which takes place usually in March.
The program can be followed in one year or, upon agreement and for a limited number of participants, on a part time basis.
Around 25 students are admitted each year, with a maximum of 40. Applications are examined by a selection committee on a continuous basis. Admission is highly selective. Due to this stringent selection, the success rate of students is close to 100 %.
Excellent knowledge of English and French is required. The majority of lectures takes place in English. However, written exams can be answered either in English or in French. Crash courses in English and French are available, upon a fee, at the start of the semester.
The student body is highly international with usually more than 10 different nationalities, mostly but not exclusively European. Therefore, the atmosphere is strongly and uniquely international. Two students come from the Higher School of Economics (HSE) in Moscow, which is one of the best law schools in Russia.
This school offers programs in:
- English

text: One of the best things about surfing the internet is you never know what you're going to expect when you get to a website. That can be a double-edged sword of course. Focus Boy is all about male models. As is usually the case in the modelling world, you never know what you're going to see. Now, I'm not the kind of dude who keeps up to date on the latest scoop in this culture, but if the guys on this site are the types of hunks being portrayed in the fashion mags and such these days, then all I can say is - "Oh Boy!!". When this site opens you may be a little intimidated as it does give one the impression that you'll be expected to shell out some money. But actually, that's not the case. Just click on any of the hunky men's images and you'll be taken to more pics of them. As well as a little background information. On your left is the main menu which will lead you to spectacular links and references to many more incredibly good looking men. This isn't about pornography per say. It's about appreciating the beauty of guys blessed with very good looks. If you can dig that, then you will certainly have a good time here.

Here's Some Stupid For Lunch
Loretta Lynch's Attorney General confirmation has been delayed.
It's a grab 'n' go kind of day here at the Cafe. One quick bite and then off to move the Great Climate Change Hoax around again outside.
The debate about confirming Loretta Lynch is suddenly getting partisan.
If there has been a less aware sentence ever written, even in Tiger Beat On The Potomac, I can't think of it.
It's the "suddenly" that makes it art.

Jake Cruise is at it again and this time he found himself in the company of a very hot, very cute AJ Irons. Given AJ's gorgeous physique, outstanding smile and perfect ass, it's amazing that he's got personality to boot. Apparently he's a lot of fun and up to most things - especially being serviced by the likes of an older man like Jake. AJ just kicks back and lets Jake do what he does best - get a guy off with his mouth and whatever else he's willing to let get used. From rimming AJ's splendid man hole to sucking on his toes, Jake went to town on this very handsome man. Can you really blame him? Once Jake sees AJ's on the brink of ejaculation he grabs his cock and strokes it at a manic pace until AJ's jizz covers the both of them!

The legendary explorer and adventurer know as Congo Bill was content with living in his home, Africa. He has sworn to do whatever he needs to protect it. When Bill is called to the deathbed of his old friend Chief Kawolo and offered a magic ring. Bill was skeptical especially when he was told by the chief to rub the ring and it would transfer his mind into that of the legendary Golden Gorilla. He accepted the ring to humor his friend's dying wish. With that the medicine man ended up saving Bill's life; several weeks later an earth quake trapped Bill in a deep cave cut off from all life. After trying his entire book of tricks to escape his decided to hopelessly rub the ring his friend had given him. Instantly, despite his doubts he found himself inside the body of the Golden Gorilla, totally in control of a powerful being.
Racing to the cave-in, he used his massive strength to clear the blocked entrance and wondering what had become of his body without him being "home". He realized that when he switched his consciousness that of the Gorilla was swapped into himself and vise versa on reentry.
Currently with the mind of the Golden Gorilla now gone along with Congo Bill's human body, Bill now lives life in the immortal body of the legendary Golden Gorilla as Congorilla. He has recently joined a separate Justice League group in the Cry for Justice comics, which is led by Green Lantern Hal Jordan. He is hunting, along with the new Starman, for the person or persons responsible for killing his pack of gorillas he was in charge of protecting. All he has to go on is a scent which he is tracking from continent to continent.

My last blog took you on a journey through my life in 2015. What a whirlwind huh?
My hope for part 2 of that blog is to clearly communicate where my personal life & business is headed in 2016. I've set some personal goals for 2016; I figured it would be most appropriate to share them with you today.
- Be more present & intentional.
- Re-do my website and make it more personalized to me. Also switch to a responsive design.
- Blog more personal things
- Plant a vegetable garden and/or be involved in a CSA so I can practice some canning for the winter months
- Spend less money
- Learn to rest & relax
- Read books.
- Finish our front porch
- Get my hormones in balance!
- Investigate a solution for making our attic a "useable" space
- Fix our front yard – it floods so bad when we experience a lot of rain!
- Take a restful trip with Kevin
- Condense my student loans!
- Be even healthier…..this includes resting, being active, remembering to take my vitamins, etc.
As far as professional goals for my business goes, let's go back in time a little.
I've been photographing since September of 2010 and I've learned SO much since then. I've been hands on with some of the best photographers in the US, ran a successful business, met some of the best people who I can now call friends….and all because I decided to jump and go after something I enjoyed. I graduated from Mount Olive College in 2012 with a Bachelor's of Science in Visual Communication. And, for those of you that don't know, I do work a full time job (in addition to photography) in Public Relations at our local community hospital. It provides health insurance for our family, retirement and gives us financial stability so that we can live a generous life. I love the people that I work with at the hospital and my "real" job gives me a chance to give back to the community by planning & promoting wellness events in our town. My loving husband, Kevin, is an ordained minister and is the Worship & Creative Pastor at our church. He's been there almost 6 years! He's also a phenomenal songwriter & skilled musician. He writes music for himself & his band while also writing & playing with Matt Bartlett & Majesty Rose. He's actively involved in The Burn Goldsboro, a 24-hour prayer movement here in our hometown & he also travels with the other 3 bands to lead worship & play shows around NC & sometimes other states. In September we will have been married for 4 years! Crazy. Time flies. And, we have an adorable dog, #thedogliza, who we've had for about our entire married life. She really is our baby. We are passionate believers in living life in community with people. In fact, most nights during the week our time is spent gathered amongst friends and family, sharing a meal together (or a doughnut).
To help you better understand, for me, a normal week during wedding season looked something like this:
Saturday – Wedding days are an easy 12 or 13 hour day. I shoot would typically shoot the wedding, download photos, rate photos, then go to bed with a very worn out body. I would choose to drive home really late or get up early & drive back home to be back for church to support Kevin & to see our family.
After my moms cancer diagnosis, I began thinking of what 2016 would look like: needles, infusions, chemo, radiation, doctor visits, medication…..moments I wouldn't have chosen for myself or my family. But yet, thats what we face. And with all that lying before us as a family, and all the other things I want to be present for this year, I'm setting a new vision for my business.
- In 2016 I will shoot no more than 10 select weddings. These will be weddings that I prayerfully consider before booking.
- For 2016, I'm saying no to other types of sessions so that I can spend time with my family. I will no longer be photographing family portraits, senior portraits, maternity or lifestyle portraits. (If you have already booked a session, of course I will honor that!)
- To compensate for the above, and still be able to photograph for the families I so greatly love, I will be offering 3 rounds of mini sessions in 2016. The dates for those sessions are as follows: March 19, July 30, November 12. I plan to stick to those dates….unless there's a lack of interest or if something unforeseen happens in my mom's care & I need to cancel or reschedule.
- As best as humanly possible, any engagement sessions will be scheduled on Wednesday or Thursday evenings like I did in 2015. Kevin is away on those evenings and by me shooting while he's not at home, I'm not compromising our time together as husband and wife. The weekends will be reserved for family time, weddings or the occasional bridal shoot!
- I'm not sure what 2017 will look like, if these changes will stay the same for then or if it will all be different….for now, I'm just taking it one day at a time.
- I will still be blogging. Heck, I may be blogging more….who knows? For a long time I've wanted to blog recipes from my kitchen, goals & dreams, our house renovations, essential oils, and natural living…..so keep an eye out. I promise I won't be silent.
Proverbs 3:6, promises that He will make our paths straight if we acknowledge Him in all we do.
There is no perfect job. There is no such thing as perfect health on this side of eternity. There is no perfect spouse. There is no perfect church. There is no perfect time to have kids. There is no perfect decision. Each choice will have just enough imperfections to make them some combination of good and not so good. The great news is that my imperfections will never override God's promises. God's promises are not dependent on my ability to always choose well, but rather on His ability to use well.
God, I trust You beyond any fear I have of making the wrong decision. Today, I hand over all my uncertainties to You. May you glorify yourself in my life in 2016.
I hope all of this makes sense to you, clients & friends. Thank you for supporting me in my dreams & in my desire for a more intentional year. As weird as it may seem, I'm looking forward to a more empty calendar and seeing how much time I can spend with my family & friends. I promise I don't love you any less. I just need some space with the Lord, surrounded by those I love, to breathe, rest & dream again.
