"The book is more than just a compilation of intriguing stories and details about life in space....In addition to providing irresistible descriptions of his work, the book--which has been translated into 20 languages--also acts as a self-help guide, with Hadfield offering practical applications to what he has learned over the years."Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

Because of the stong Zoroastrian states to the west of China, the Chinese expanded not into Central Asia and Tibet but into Mongolia and Northern Asia. Wars with Russia sapped China's strength and led to the independence of Beijiang. Despite China's power, European powers came to dominate China. The Manchurian Qing dynasty was subjected to a rebellion and fell to the New-Sung Dynasty.
Today, while China's borders are perhaps much reduced compared to what might have been, its internal power structure is relatively strong, with a strong backing from Buddhist authority. China's ancient culture and ideals reign strong in what the Chinese still call the Middle Kingdom.

We all know that there are certain chemicals in our foods that are not that good for us, but much of it is often unavoidable, as toxins, it seems, are in almost everything we touch or consume. The scientist and/or government may say that trace amounts of a single toxin are not harmful. My theory is that if you are getting trace amounts of chemical toxins from multiple sources, they will add up to toxic levels at some point. I read that study of packaged macaroni and cheese products were found to have "phthalates" in them. Phthalates are man-made chemicals that are hormone disrupting. They have been linked to a "plethora" of behavioral and brain development issues in fetal and childhood development. The phthalates are not added directly to the products but are infused into the packaging material which then leaches, over time, from the package into the cheese powder. Experts say to try and make the mac and cheese from scratch and avoid the packaged products if possible. Phthalates are in so many products it is almost impossible to avoid. As I stated, you are only exposed to trace amounts, but what is acceptable to you?
Did you know that back pain is second only to the common cold as the most frequent cause of sick leave? Back pain accounts for approximately 40% of all work absences. A study from 1999 found that an estimated 22 million people suffer from back pain that lasts one week or more with an estimated 149 million days of lost work. So what would those numbers be today in 2017? Chiropractors are experts on diagnosing, treating, managing and preventing back pain. If you haven't had back pain yet, you are lucky, because for most Americans, it is just a matter of time. Visit the pro's who handle these problems on a daily basis!!
If you have kids or grand children, then this is a bit of a disturbing news. Researchers analyzed 11 years of federal data and found detectible levels of lead in 20% of over 2100 baby food samples. As you may or may not know, there is no safe blood levels for lead in kids. The toxin was found most often in fruit juices such as grape and apple, root vegetables such as sweet potatoes and carrots and cookies such as teething biscuits. Lead can cause problems with cognition, attention and behavior as well as the cardiovascular system and immune system. None of the samples, unfortunately, were identified by brand name so I cannot provide that information. Another researcher who analyzed an EPA study that was released earlier this year, found that food is the major source of lead exposure in 2/3 of the toddlers. It may be a wise choice to eliminate these specific food items from your kids diet. Do your own research on this topic also!!

Serine / threonine-protein kinase PLK1 / PLK-1, also known as polo-like kinase 1 (PLK-1) or serine / threonine-protein kinase 13 (STPK13), Polo-like kinases (PLKs), is a family of four serine / threonine protein kinases that are critical regulators of cell cycle progression, mitosis, cytokinesis, and the DNA damage response. PLK1 / PLK-1 is ubiquitously expressed. The mRNA and protein expression of PLK1 / PLK-1, -2 and -4 are coordinately regulated during cell cycle progression, but PLK3 levels are independent of the other three family members. PLK1 / PLK-1 is the most well characterized member of this family and strongly promotes the progression of cells through mitosis. During the various stages of mitosis PLK1 / PLK-1 localizes to the centrosomes, kinetochores and central spindle. PLKs are dysregulated in a variety of human cancers. PLK1 / PLK-1 overexpression correlates with cellular proliferation and poor prognosis. Serine / threonine-protein kinase that performs several important functions throughout M phase of the cell cycle, including the regulation of centrosome maturation and spindle assembly, the removal of cohesins from chromosome arms, the inactivation of APC / C inhibitors, and the regulation of mitotic exit and cytokinesis. It is required for recovery after DNA damage checkpoint and entry into mitosis. PLK1 / PLK-1 is required for kinetochore localization of BUB1B, spindle pole localization of isoform 3 of SGOL1 and plays a role in regulating its centriole cohesion function. PLK1 / PLK-1 Phosphorylates BORA, and thereby promotes the degradation of BORA. PLK1 / PLK-1 also contributes to the regulation of AURKA function and phosphorylates SGOL1.

If you're looking for a fashionable way to live sustainably, then perhaps you should consider trainers made from ocean waste. Adidas showed them at Paris Climate Summit 2016.
In June, Adidas and the organisation Parley for the Oceans, began a partnership for sustainability. Parley for the Oceans is an nongovernmental organisation which raises awareness about the state of the oceans and forms collaborations to help protect them.
They state on their website: "We need to defend diversity on land and in the sea and we need solutions, and these solutions can only be realized by harnessing the imaginative side of human culture – the arts."
Adidas is a founding member and so supports Parley for the Oceans in its Ocean Plastic Program that aims to end plastic pollution of the oceans.
Now, conveniently coinciding with the Paris Climate Summit (COP21), they have unveiled a prototype for a shoe which features a 3D printed midsole which uses recycled polyester as well as gill nets, while the upper part of the shoe is made with ocean plastic.
Unfortunately. there are no plans currently for the shoe to become commercial. Adidas are hoping that this challenging product will be brought to markets "in the future" and that they will even be able to produce these trainers on a large scale.
As for another prototype which was unveiled in June at the United Nations (see below) – this is set to hit the market in April. This shoe has an upper made from yarns and filaments which have been reclaimed from ocean waste and illegal deep-sea gill nets.
These aren't the only ways in which Adidas intends go green either; they have now said that they will phase out the use of plastic bags in their retail stores too.
To follow this story, you should check out the hashtags #OceansClimateLife and #COP21 or watch the video below!
If you are interested in another way to get rid of plastic trash in the ocean, please read this story on "The Plastic Bank".

Overcoming Resistance to Employee Involvement
By Peter B. Grazier
Originally published in EI Network December 1, 1993
Most of the attendees had some role in spreading employee involvement within their organizations, and most were frustrated to say the least. What is it about our workplace today that seems to resist movement to a concept that has proven itself over and over?
As I have been working with organizations over the years to create participative work environments, this question has been central to my successes and failures. If one can understand the dynamics of change, both personal and organizational, the probability of success will be greatly enhanced.
What I have learned is that there are three basic elements in creating successful change:
- The desire to change
- The ability to change
- The permission to change (for those in organizations)
1. The Desire
to Change
Most humans will not change their beliefs, habits, or behaviors unless they are motivated to do so. Most will not change, even if change is for the better, unless there is come compelling reason. As long as the perceived rewards of staying as we are remain greater than the rewards of changing, we will likely stay as we are. Or, conversely, as long as the perceived risks of changing are greater than the risks for staying the same, we will be unlikely to change.
I was recently given the below cartoon which, to me, symbolizes this concept perfectly in terms of today's changing workplace.
"I trusted him more when he had a whip!"
The supervisor or, symbolically, the slave master, is attempting to change (humanize) his management style with his "Slave of the Month" program. Meanwhile, one slave says to the other, "I trusted him more when he had a whip!"
Not only does the slave master have difficulty changing, but the slaves are also feeling some discomfort, even when the change is beneficial to them! Our desire to hold on to things that are familiar and, hence, comfortable is strong.
Of the three elements required for change, my bias is that desire is most important. Little happens if there is no real motivation to change. And strong motivation frequently makes up for shortcomings in the other two. A central question, then, is how do we create this desire to change?
First we must create awareness of the need to change. What are the compelling reasons to move away from the familiar and comfortable and move to something different and perhaps uncomfortable?
In today's competitive world economy, more and more people are becoming aware of the need for improving the way or organizations work. However, if we really want to turn up the heat on change, we must discuss internally the specific challenges facing our organization.
Who is our competition? What are they doing? What new products and services are they adding? Is the market for our product or service expanding or contracting? What are our costs and revenues per employee versus our competition's? Will our products be subject to new environmental controls? What will rapidly expanding telecommunications technology mean to us and our existing work processes? Can we reduce our overhead expenses to match those considered best in our industry? Could we really become "paperless?" How could we reduce our basic work process by 10 steps this month? How could we improve turnaround time by 90%?
It is my opinion that the more profitable an organization is, the more creative it must be in creating the appropriate challenge. One organization I worked with wanted to increase the rate of implementation of employee involvement, which for several years had been painfully slow. The company was old, well established in its market, and experiencing continued earnings growth. What, I asked myself, would provide some motivation for these people to move forward?
By chance, I came across an article discussing one of their strongest competitors. The article related performance data of the competitor showing, for example, that its revenues per employee were twice that of my client! I shared this information with the management team and they were shocked by the numbers. They could now see the potential threat posed by a competitor with such strong financial performance.
In this case, the risk of inaction became a greater motivator than the discomfort of changing to a participative style of management.
Strategies to Develop Awareness
From a practical point of view, how can this type of information and resulting dialogue be generated?
- Develop a proactive organization newsletter that discusses issues relevant to its future.
- Initiate management dialogue sessions with other managers, supervisors, and employees.
- Conduct training sessions that deal with the need to change.
- Use case studies that demonstrate what happens when organizations don't respond to changes in their industry or environment: GM, Sears, IBM, Xerox (early 80's), and others.
- Conduct book study sessions at the work group level using, for example, books that show compelling reasons for change.1
- Ask people (perhaps in a small group format) "What would happen if we don't change?"
- Bring in examples of competitor's products and discuss the implications.
- Put up a master bulletin board in a central area and invite employees to post articles on the industry, competitors, challenges, and so forth.
- Conduct a Future Search Conference, (see section entitled Large Scale Involvement in the Facilitation section of our bookstore) to seriously discuss the future of the organization.
- Encourage senior managers to "wander" frequently throughout the organization asking appropriate questions regarding the need to change.
- Change reward systems to align with those behaviors the organization wants to expand. For example, performance evaluations should reward a participative style for leaders at all levels and active involvement in organization improvement for all employees.
Again, the purpose of these strategies is to create some discomfort or dissatisfaction with the status
quo--a realization that to stay as we are is more of a threat than to move forward with new concepts.
The above strategies make one major assumption, however, and that is that management is not already destroying employee motivation and allegiance with destructive dictates and mandates. For example, those organizations prone to laying off employees at the first sign of financial weakness will find it difficult, if not impossible, to implement and sustain any form of participative management. A layoff as a first alternative to cost reduction contradicts the notion of participative management. Employees will find it hard to commit fully to the organization and its mission, goals, and ideals.
2. The Ability to Change
If the motivation for change exists, then people will need some assistance developing the skills to change. Ignorant of the dynamics of human behavior, we assume that once people understand the need for change, they will miraculously move in that direction.
However, what holds us back is our ingrained beliefs and resulting behaviors. For example, I may want to become a participative manager but all my previous training has conditioned me to be controlling and directive and, clearly, the decision maker.2 And down deep inside, I might really have doubts about this employee involvement stuff. To change my beliefs and ultimately my behaviors significantly, I will need some help.
Strategies to Develop Ability
- Join the Association for Quality and Participation
and tap into a valuable network of people going through the same change.
Get on mail lists for other organizations providing support services dealing with change in today's
Define a clear vision of the new work environment. In specific terms, what does employee involvement, empowerment, and self-direction mean in our organization?
Example: Employee Involvement Vision
- All employees engaged daily in improving work processes and solving problems
- 50 ideas per year per employee for improving the work and the workplace
- Managers and supervisors encouraging and supporting new ideas on a daily basis
- Work teams meeting on a weekly basis to expand and enhance process improvement innovations
Example: Empowerment and Self-Direction Vision (partial list for example only)
- Supervisor trains group members, delegates daily work group skills, and focuses on longer/wider-range value-added work
- The work group sets and measures its own standards of performance
- The work group determines its own training needs
- The work group deals with its customers
- The work group sets and monitors its own budget
- The work group operates without daily direct supervision
- Peer evaluations are used to improve individual performance
- The work group interviews and selects/hires new group members
The vision serves as a clear picture of what the organization will look like in the future.
- Attend
training on the new skills required by managers, supervisors, and front-line employees.
- Publicize "success" stories as they occur in the organization. This helps people see what the organization wants of them.
- Attend specialty seminars,
conferences, symposiums, and so forth that discuss the new work concepts.
- Visit other organizations that are further along in the process and learn from them.
- Invite guest speakers in from other organizations to relate what they have learned about change and the new work concepts.
- Contact video services
and search for videos that discuss or model involvement, empowerment, team, and quality concepts.
- Conduct structured dialogues where managers, supervisors, union representatives, or employees can discuss safely their fears and concerns with the new concepts. Why might they hold back? …and what has to happen for them to move forward? Small group formats work best.
- Strive to simplify the entire improvement (quality) process. A bureaucratic process will cave in under its own weight.
- Conduct a management session on understanding the organization's beliefs. Do the beliefs support the changes necessary for progress, or will they hold the organization in its current system?
Because our prior training and conditioning is such a significant barrier to our ability to change, we need to take some very proactive steps (such as the strategies listed above). Our learned behavior is like a spring that pulls us back to a comfortable position whenever we stretch a little too far. Breaking free of that spring is difficult, but possible, if we take conscious actions that eventually replace the old behaviors with new ones.
3. The Permission to Change
Finally there is the issue of permission. When a change is personal, we only have to give ourselves permission to change. But when the change is in an organizational context, permission must be granted by those in power.
I may have the desire to change, and I may have the knowledge and ability to change. But if I work in an environment that doesn't enable me to change, very little will happen. Desire and ability are there, but permission is not.
I am told frequently by seminar participants that they are constrained by those above them and they don't know what to do. Here are some suggestions:
- I could do nothing and wait for my organization to get serious about improvement and involvement concepts.
- I could learn more about the new workplace concepts and begin to discuss them with others, particularly those above me.
- I cold lobby my bosses to take seriously these concepts of involvement and improvement to secure a future for our organization.
- I could invite my bosses to a seminar, AQP local chapter meeting, conference, or other session.
- I could ask for permission to experiment with the concepts.
- I could buy my bosses copies of the book Walk the Talk. (Depending on my comfort level with this idea, I may want to give them anonymously.)
- I could send articles regarding our industry and its competition to my bosses, to entice them to look further into change.
- I could secretly put my bosses on the mail lists of organizations advocating change.
- I could begin making changes (without permission) within the confines of my workspace and see what happens. A front-line supervisor that wants to experiment with team and improvement concepts might begin by quietly involving his or her people in improving their work processes. Documenting any improvements would then validate the concepts. (Makes use of the important principle: It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.)
- I could send a letter to the CEO encouraging senior management to look seriously at improvement and involvement concepts. (Requires a high level of confidence and risk taking.)
- I could ask to make a presentation to the senior management team and attempt to influence their thinking about the new workplace concepts. (Also requires a high level of confidence and risk taking.)
- I could assemble a group of others in the organization who also feel strongly about the need to improve our work and operate within this group to promote change.
The point of this list is to show that if you work in an organization that does not yet support the new workplace concepts, all is not lost. There is probably something on this list that would fit your personal comfort level. Too many of us throw up our hands and say "What can I do?" rather than "Here's what I can do."
The question of permission is a very personal one that we must answer for ourselves.
In this article I have tried to address the ongoing concern of how to overcome resistance to employee involvement, empowerment, self-direction, and improvement concepts. This is an issue we all struggle with, and I wish there were a simple answer. What I have learned is that no one strategy will work for everyone. The reasons we resist change are very personal and unique, so to change the thinking of many people in an organization will probably require a variety of approaches.

Andy Murray splits from partner Kim SearsPosted on: November 30, 2009 16:41:12
Tennis ace Andy Murray has split from his partner of four years Kim Sears.
The sportsman and his girlfriend were previously living together in a £5 million home in Surrey and the student has now moved back in with her parents.
Despite Kim touring all around the world with Andy and cheering him on from the crowd as she watched him play, it seems as though they have decided to call time on their relationship.
A friend of the world number four said that they are both still young and it is not unusual for people to split up in this way.
"There were no blazing rows or anything like that. Kim left Andy's house under amicable circumstances. They are still in contact with one another and remain good friends," the insider continued.
In similar news from the world of sport, Abbey Clancy the girlfriend of footballer player Peter Crouch - recently told People that the couple plan to have a long engagement before they tie the knot.
Anyone who, like Andy, has just split up from a long-term partner could get back into the dating game by joining an online dating agency.

L.C. and Audrina Patridge Bury the Hatchet?
Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge have either settled their differences or one of the Hills writers has penned a teary reunion scene.
The battling pseudo-reality starlets were spotted leaving L.A.'s Crown Bar last night, holding hands like there was no such thing as Audrina being kicked out of the house. What a difference a rewrite makes!
Conrad and Patridge recently had a falling-out due to Patridge allowing OK! magazine to photograph her in the backyard of the house she shares with L.C. and new best friend Lauren "Lo" Bosworth.
Lauren reportedly arrived home to find a photo shoot going on in "her" home and pitched an appropriate reality-television wobby on Patridge.
Conrad is said to have been furious because she had promised an exclusive on the backyard to another publication.
Boy, the back of that house must be pretty hot. They must have a fountain or something equally grand to be causing all this commotion.
Patridge is also said to have been confronted with a note on the front door one day telling her she needed to vacate the premises.
All seems to have been forgiven, for now.
That or we've all just been suckered in by some very viral marketing for the new season of The Hills.

Happy New Years Eve. It's almost 2013! Time to release the new calendar girls!
January has a certain confidence in her stride, doesn't she? Ready to tackle a blank slate full of possibilities. I hope to channel this sketch's energy as I prepare for the clock to hit 12.
Right now I'm feeling overwhelmed and a little bit more like a sketch that has just run a marathon and is standing, hands on knees, trying to catch my breath... not that I've ever sketched anyone like that... my girls are always poised.
2012 was a year for the record books for me and my little business. I literally could cry with joy just thinking about how far I've come and about how much love and support and enthusiasm I've encountered this year. I really couldn't be prouder of the milestones of the past year. But with all this accomplishment comes a lot of exhaustion. So, as happy as I am looking back, when I look forward I feel ready to take a nap. Is it really time to start over again, striving to get bigger and better? Is this even possible?
My New Years Resolution is more of a new years wish. So, as I sit in my studio this December 31st, watching the fading light on the Empire State building, I plan to wish on the new years ball that is waiting to drop tonight, glittering into a sea of tourists just a few blocks north, for the courage to continue to grow in this brand new year.
I'm not setting any hard and fast goals tonight. No yoga challenges or flossing regimes or sugar denials here. I'm just feeling grateful and making a wish and letting the clock turn. I have a feeling things will work out with this positive attitude. How zen am I?
Cheers to 2013 and to finding new creativity in the year ahead! Go put on your Furry hats and stride into the future like January here, this year is our oyster!

hear! hear! congrats on the best year yet with more to come! happy new year, inslee! p.s. you're such a great writer! love reading your posts!
I'm not sure you know how truly inspiring you are. Seeing you succeed has encouraged me to follow my dreams. You don't need to depend on wishes everything you have you have earned through so much hard work and determination. You will only do more amazing things in 2013. Happy New Year!! xoxo Kaitlyn
PS- I was on the fence about packing my fur hat for my big move to the East Coast. It is now in my suit case. :)
I'm just now writing a comment on one of your amazing entries, but I must say that I've adored your sketches ever since I stumbled on your website. :D I love your work and I only hope that one day you could make a header for my site too. Or make a sketch of me at least :))
Your blog actually inspired me to create my own. Best wishes to you this year!
Dani :)
Happy New Year! I'm so excited for you little business because it will only get bigger and bigger. I love seeing all your projects=0)
Inslee, this is my first year trying both painting and blogging and one of the most inspiring things for me this year was when I came across your blog and thought "how I would love to draw and paint like that!" I pulled my mom aside and we looked eagerly through dozens of your sketches. I'm so glad I discovered you in 2012. I hope you enjoy continued success with your brand!
My most favorite!!
Inslee, you are a true beauty! I am so fortunate that you created my skethch. I will love it forever. Thank you. May you sparkle even brighter in 2013!

As we step into the new dawn of 2017, I wish all members of the SSB and their families a very happy and healthy new year. On behalf of the Sashastra Seema Bal, I also extend my best wishes to all visitors to our website.
A new year is a time for stock taking of our achievements and fulfillment of targets, a time for introspection into our shortfalls and failures as also a time of celebration of every little and large success through the year. Looking back on 2016, I can say with a deep sense of satisfaction that SSB has surged ahead on every front. We have emerged stronger with every challenge and learnt with every experience. This has further strengthened our resolve to rededicate ourselves in the service of this great nation.
We salute the supreme sacrifices of our brave martyrs, including Late Constable Ghanshyam Gujjar, who lay down his life fighting militants in Srinagar recently. The bravery of those who died fighting, as also of those who survived despite severe injuriesin the face of adversity, serves as a great source of inspiration for us.
As a Force selflessly serving the nation for the past 54 years, we have multiplied almost three fold from 25 Battalions in 2001 to a sanctioned strength of 67 Battalions in 2016 to further increase to 73 Battalions by the year 2018-2019. Over the past year we have had unprecedented success in seizure of narcotics, contraband, wildlife produce as well as arms and ammunition, to the tune of Rs. 306 crores. As many as 5001 criminals were arrested and handed over to the local police. This includes a sizeable number of left wing extremists and their supporters.
We maintain that our borders with Nepal and Bhutan are open for traffic but completely closed for trafficking. This message has been broadcast loud and clear through our crackdown on all those who indulge in this dastardly crime against humanity. We have been able to work in close conjunction with governmental and non-governmental stakeholders against human trafficking and we have been able to rescue more than 533 victimsthis year.Every member of the Force is passionate in his/her fight against this malaise and we have had many moments of pride this year when personnel on their way home on leave have been so sensitive as to detect and report suspicious behaviour at railway stations, leading to rescues of over 50 children, purely in their individual capacity.I take this opportunity to thank, on behalf of all my Force personnel, all the NGOs who have been working tirelessly with us on the border and giving us information and support in our earnest endeavours.
Our very presence on the borders has contributed towards stemming the denuding of our forest wealth and resources. Rare flora like Yarsa Gambu and fauna such as tokay (gecko), sand boa snakes that have a very high value in the dark market are seized on a regular basis by our vigilant personnel on the border. More than Rs. 46.61 crores worth of wildlife products have been recovered this year.
We have upgraded technologically in our mobility, weapons, protective gear, security and surveillance and are using our new capabilities to achieve optimum efficiency and effectiveness in our area of operation.
Having traditionally been involved in training both male and female border population in the use of arms to be self reliant since 1963, we were also the first Border guarding force to induct women personnel into border guarding duties in 2008. We are striving towards recruiting more and more women so as to attain 15% of the total strength, as a first step towards mainstreaming. Our women personnel are fully deployed shoulder to shoulder with their male colleagues whether during border-guarding duties, or as part of the Brass Band or even performing dare devil acts as part of the motorcycle squad, working in every sphere, with dedication and élan. SSB, on its part, is working towards providing a gender sensitive work infrastructure, equipment and environment for all personnel so as to ensure optimum efficiency and output.
We, in the SSB, follow a process of inclusive decision-making where our personnel are party to their own welfare and most initiatives have been taken on the feedback from our personnel. During my visits to operational units, many jawans expressed concern that because they were deployed on the border and most battalions are also located in smaller towns near the border, their families were unable to get the benefit of good health facilities and proper education. They could not afford to keep their families in cities where such facilities were available. We took up the case for establishment of separated family accommodation in 11 new cities, which was duly approved by MHA. These SFAs will be secure and self sufficient with all facilities so as to enable the families of jawans to not be inconvenienced due to their absence. In addition we have empanelled a large number of hospitals so that our personnel have access to better and more widespread medical facilities.In order to further ease the stress of our jawans who are often away from their families, we have issued dependent ID Cards so that their families can directly avail of Central Police Canteen facilities, Air/ Railway concessions, health facilities, etc even in their absence. For the benefit of our retired members, we have set up Pension cells in all units to ensure speedy redressal of pension related grievances.
Our motto, in keeping with our acronym, SSB, is Seva (service), Suraksha (security), Bandhutva (brotherhood). Winning the hearts and minds of the people has always been a way of life for our Force. In order to uphold the friendship of our country with Nepal and Bhutanand reduce antagonism and fear in our friendly neighbours, we created Border Interaction Teams consisting of male and female personnel, in plainclothes, trained in soft skills, local language, identification of criminals and victims, detection, search and seizure procedure, narcotics identification were deployed as the front face of SSB on designated border check posts.
Our presence on the remotest of villages on the border gives us the added responsibility of ensuring that various schemes of the Govt. reach their intended beneficiaries. Under the Swachh Bharat initiative, we adopted 309 predominantly girls schools and built 120 toilets. We facilitated the opening of over 3.5 lakh Jan Dhan Yojana bank accounts all along the Indo Nepal and Indo Bhutan Borders. In collaboration with the Ministry of Women and Child Development, we conducted 29 income generation programmes where 875 women and girls participated under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme. Under the Border Area Development Programme we have been prioritizing projects for maximum welfare of our border population. One of these was the purchase and deployment of 9 fully equipped ambulances on designated points on the border used in emergencies by 2907 patients on both sides of the border. 63 vocational training programmes and 36 farmers training programmes were conducted this year. We conducted 20 educational tours for students from schools in remote areas on the border, militancy prone areas and left-wing extremism affected areas. The most recent one was exclusively for 143 girl students from very remote tribal areas, many of whom had never left their villages, before then. They were exposed to the rich and varied heritage of our country and at the end of their tour, congregated at New Delhi to witness our Anniversary celebrations. We are grateful to the Hon'ble President of India, Vice President, Home Minister, Ministers of State and other dignitaries for interacting with them and giving them memorable experiences to take home.
We had received the President's Colours in 2004 and 12 years later, are proud to have hosted the Hon'ble President himself. I would like to make a special mention of how grateful the Force is for his gracious presence at our reception function, as a part of our Anniversary celebrations,for the first time in our history since inception.
SSB is a unique force. We were the first to use civic action as a means to building bridges with the border population. We thrive on the affection and goodwill that we receive from the public we serve and interact with. Our medical and veterinary doctors conduct several camps in remote border areas and now, even in Naxal affected areas, treating patients and livestock, distributing medicines and maintaining the general health of the people in our area of responsibility. 508 medical and 241 veterinary civic action camps were organized in 2016, providing medical care to 53727 patients and 69396 animals.
As the first responders in disaster situations, SSB has not only reached out to help Nepal earthquake and Uttarakhand flood victims but also rendered yeoman service in cloud bursts and land erosion in Darjeeling, floods in J&K and Uttar Pradesh, flash floods and landslides in Himachal Pradesh. In 2017 we plan to train and equip Disaster Relief and Rescue units in all our Battalions so as to attain complete self-sufficiency and be of even better service, should such a situation recur. We have already started the process and hope to have these units in place in the next couple of months.
SSB salutes the spirit and dedication of numerous sportspersons all over the country. We have recruited over 400 national and international sportspersons under sports quota this year and look forward to even more laurels not only for our Force but also for our country. I have given instructions to all my units to spot upcoming talent and adopt deserving athletes from among poor and underprivileged families in our area of responsibility. SSB will sponsor their training, nurture them and guide them onto the path to representing India in the future. Do let us know if you know anyone who fits into our plan.
Our toll free number 1903 is operationalized to encourage stakeholders on both sides of the border to freely report misdemeanor, corruption and anti social activities so as to help us in our drive towards zero tolerance towards all kinds of crime. I would request you all to widely disseminate this number. SSB official twitter handle @DGSSB and SashastraSeemaBal Facebook page keeps you informed of all what is new in our world. This is where we reminisce, relate tales of courage, share our success stories and also pay our respects to our departed souls. Please interact with us and help us to serve you better.
2016 has been an excellent year. We strive towards making each year better than the one gone by and are looking forward to becoming more alert and more aware (Sajagevam Sachet) in 2017. I am confident that all officers and personnel of this Force will march into the New Year with complete honesty, integrity, motivation and dedication and set new standards of success.Today we rededicate ourselves to ensuring a safer, more secure and bright future for India.
I, on behalf of the SSB, once again wish you all, fellow citizens of India as well as all our friendly neighbours of Nepal and Bhutan, a very happy and healthy new year.
Jai Hind

Starting my review early because I have had a great experience so far. I was contacted by Elena from newlife plastic surgery. She was so helpful which I loved becaused I'm a out of state patient. I sent my pictures in and im a perfect canadiate for the procedure. Im just really thankful for Elena and all the informaion she gave me. So if everthing goes right I will hopefully be having my bbl surgery in late Auugst. I will had to my review as I go along.
21 Years Old No Kids Just Wanting the Perfect Body!!!!!! - Miami, FL
Miami Plastic Surgeon
4.5 out of 5 stars 234 reviews
Starting my review early because I have had a...
Complete Deal!!!
I forgot to tell you guys I'm completely happy about my deal not only do I get a bbl but also a week of stay in a recovery home for $6000.00 it gets no better than that. Fit my budget completely!!!!
So Hey girls said I'll keep you updated on my process. So first let me start off by saying I have paid for my surgery in full no payment plan no down payment the full amount. I preferred that cause that's how serious I am about this decision in my life. So my surgery date is Tuesday 8/23/16 with new life plastic surgery. I'm a month out still haven't heard from the lab lady now I'm getting worried simple fact I hate rushing and doing things on the last minute. Now alot of people going to the same facility are telling me their surgery date got pushed back and honestly I don't have time for that. Cause I have bought plane ticket and took my time off work. So that's really all at this point. I attached some wish photos. At this point just taking the vitamins and etc they want me to take
Worried and Stressed the f*ck out!!!!
1 week from surgery. So today I received a call but no good news. I was cleared for surgery they told me I was4 days ago. So I finalized everything my plane tickets my days off at work and even bought a $100 happy booty pillow lol. So i thought everything was good. I got my labs done like 3 weeks ago and my white blood cell count is high. But they knew that and still cleared me for surgery. My doctor told me I don't have an infection she just think I have a high wbc like some people in the population do. Now its a week from surgery and their saying I can't have surgery because it's against the law cause my white blood cell count is high. Talked to my doctor today we did a new lab test today so hopefully everything goes well. Cause to be honest I'm already emotionally drained from this process and I'll just ask for a damn refund. Like why clear me than tell me no it was a mistake I'm so frustrated and worried about this whole situation so pray for me guys that everything ends up in my favor.
I haven't met him yet but I will update this review as I go along. But im super execited to meet him.

One day without any warning my father took our much loved dog Sandy, a gorgeous border collie away without telling us. We never really knew where our dog went, so I guess it was easier to stop thinking about it. We loved that dog and it was it a terrible loss.
That was one of many deprivations inflicted on us by our father for what seemed like no apparent reason other than malice.
When a parent treats their children like this, it leaves a lasting impression. And they can make decisions about who they are and how the world works for them.
I had a client say to me recently that what happened to her was so long ago and she couldn't see how it still affected her today 45 years later. And yet her life had been constantly out of order and she had struggled emotionally all of her life.
Childhood experiences write on our wall. They imprint on our unconscious mind and can leak through into our present reality until resolved.
It usually takes more than one experience of similar situations like the stolen dog to create a belief. I could rattle off many like being allowed to join gymnastics and then when it was discovered I was really good at it, the money for it dried up. Or how the same thing happened with the marching girl organisation I was so quickly pulled out of.
Perhaps it was all the clothes my mother put on lay by for me that all passed their pick up date and were returned to stock. Or the red Malvern Star bike that never made its way into my life that I prayed for every night.
Then it was not only what I didn't get that shaped my belief system, but what was taken from me. My father ripped all my dozens of Beatles photos off my walls and burned them. That nearly broke my heart. Nothing but pure malice there. And the huge collection of rocks (I wanted to be a geologist or an archaeologist) I had accumulated from quarries and creek beds over years that were dumped for no reason at all.
There are many more instances like this that could be added. But this is not a pity party or a 'poor me.' This is about how our experiences shape our beliefs.
Viewed from an adult perspective and considering that many really poor and deprived people grow up to become incredibly wealthy, my petty experiences seem trivial and childish. And while that might well be true, I was a very intense, demanding and resentful child. And always being a 'why' sort of person, when I looked around and saw what others had, I wrongfully assumed that either some major flaw in me was responsible or that I was being punished by God.
So, by the time I was grown up I truly believed that I couldn't expect to have what other people took for granted, even though that made no logical sense. I believed that life was a struggle and that I had to work harder than anyone to get even less results. Now, I didn't sit around and consciously think these thoughts, but they did lurk in the back of my mind and they did show up in results in every area of my life.
What fantastic limiting beliefs to be trying to negotiate the world with. But because I had so many limiting experiences which confirmed my 'reality,' these beliefs were not easy to change.
But change they did. Not overnight. But with some deep inner work.
Childhood teaches us who we are. But it's not final. That version of ourselves and our perspective on life can be changed. We can choose to change. Although childhood can be a fertile breeding ground for limiting and negative beliefs, it is never set in cement, even though it might feel like it sometimes.

About the Creator
Born in 1960 and brought up and educated in the Waterloo/Crosby and Thornton regions of Merseyside. I joined the Merchant Navy straight from school in 1977 and spent nearly five years going away to sea, leaving in 1981. After a brief spell unemployed I became an Assistant Cook within the Social Services Department of Liverpool City Council. I worked for them for 13 years attaining the position of Head Cook for for the last four. In 1989 I met the woman I knew was going to be my wife and we were married in 1991 and now have four children. In 1997 I left catering behind and became a courier for a mail order company. I loved this job but getting mugged two weeks before the Christmas of 1999 made me re-think things and I gave it up after my daughter was born in 2000. In 2002 I had kidney failure that nearly took my life, I've recovered now and have just started a new chapter in my life by becoming a Support Worker for adults with learning difficulties.

EXCLUSIVE: Platinum Studios, a producer of the upcoming Cowboys & Aliens, has joined forces with Andrew Lazar and Top Cow Productions to turn the Top Cow comic Vice into a live action feature film. Vice tells the story of hard-core teen felons who join the FBI's Critical Response Unit as a way to clear their records. Their bad attitudes and formidable powers make them as dangerous as the bad guys they pursue. Top Cow president Matt Hawkins created the comic in 2005. Lazar will produce with Platinum Studios chairman/CEO Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, and Randy Greenberg will be exec producer with Hawkins and Marc Silvestri.
Andrew Lazar, Platinum Studios And Top Cow Target 'Vice'
16 Comments
Really?Out of all the Top Cow properties they choose Vice?I've never even heard of it and it just so happens to have been created by the Top Cow president.Figures
I'd much rather see Witchblade, The Darkness, Magdalena or Aphrodite IX.
Agreed with Renner on this one… This comic will never see the light of day as a film. Uninspired & boring. Maybe back in the 80s. Lol.
It's all about summer 2012—
The Avengers
Edge of the Unknown
Pretty sure I read that they're already working on a "Witchblade" movie, but I could be wrong. Never heard of "Vice" either, but Top Cow seems to do that a lot, that of the heads of the company coming up with something and then handing over an outline to a for-hire writer.
In other words it's a ripoff of The Mod Squad which was so of its time back in the 60's. It was updated and turned into a horrible movie in the 90's. I'm sure Vice will be a big success. (rolls eyes, runs and hides)
I loved Silvestri's stuff going way back.Haven't read to much Top Cow recently though.
I think they were doing a Witchblade movie or something.
Oh, yeah! THE MOD SQUAD REDUX – Got it!
This sounds similar to Breakout Kings on AMC. I'll pass on both.
I liked it when it was called 21 JUMP STREET.
So…it's The Mod Squad (again)?
No it's not Mod Squad it's Vice Squad don't you see the difference? You people in flyover country just don't get it.
Actually, this is nothing like Breakout Kings. I work in a (can't say) and the assistants watched the pilot and we laughed our asses off. VICE sounds serious, BK is a FUN show.
Agree I have kept an eye on all top cow announcements and its always the pilots or long lost comic that get the chance. Are they scared of risking the fan favourite properties. Like darkness etc, witchblade movie was suspended from the looks of things. Unlike marvel there characters are fresh not rebooted
So fun Fox (and every other network save for the home of THE CLEANER) passed on it…
this IP scam has been going on for awhile. let's pretend there is actually a graphic novel fan base for an idea by printing a limited edition (or even just doing a few storyboards) and then go to an exec or producer who wants to be hip and hasn't read a comic book since he was 12 sometime in the mid-80s. there are more or less sophisticated ways of pulling this one off but the idea that somehow the next spiderman or even the next history of violence is lurking somewhere in the vast IP warehouses of these platinum-style companies is… a bit of a crap shoot.
Ugh, this sounds terrible. Would rather see the feature version of Mr. Belvedere.
I want to know why all the poster shows people who look like 40 year olds if they're supposed to be teens. I'd also like to know who the artist who used the cheesy looking bad guys from Death Wish 4 to use as models. I mean when is the last time someone saw a tough guy on the streets sporting a headband? What is this, like 1984?

Ashton Eaton of the United States added the world decathlon title to his Olympic crown in a dominant display at the World Athletics Championships on Sunday.
Eaton, who won silver in Daegu two years ago, finished the gruelling two-day 10-discipline event with 8,809 points.
Germany's Michael Schrader took silver (8,670), with Damian Warner of Canada claiming bronze (8,512).
"I felt good today," said Eaton, described by Jamaican sprint king Usain Bolt after his Olympic win in London last year as the best athlete in the world.
"I won the gold -- the only medal in decathlon that I didn't have (at the worlds). Now I have everything. It was my goal, what I was putting in all that training for."
But there will be no quick exit back to the United States for Eaton, who recently got married to Canadian heptathlete Brianne Theisen.
"Tomorrow, I'll be in the stands, watching my wife Brianne compete," he said.
Eaton produced a solid second day of performances, overcoming a fright as he heavily clipped his second hurdle in the opening 110m hurdles before recovering to finish in a leading 13.72sec.
The American's best of 45.00m in the discus saw him bank another 767pts for 6,280, as Schrader moved into second.
Eaton then cleared 5.20m in the pole vault and threw a best of 64.83m in the javelin before clocking 4min 29.80sec in the final 1500m.
In the first day of action on Saturday, Eaton started well, clocking a leading 10.35sec in the 100m, a third-best 7.73m in the the long jump, and 14.39m in the shot put.
But the world record holder dropped to fourth after a best in the high jump of 1.93m. Teammate Gunnar Nixon's 2.14m saw him soar briefly into the lead, followed by Schrader.
Eaton duly retook the overnight lead with a 46.02sec in the 400m, leaving him on 4,502pts, just nine ahead of Nixon and Schrader, a further 66 points adrift.
Schrader said he felt lucky to have come through a raft of injuries.
"Who would have thought that I would be able to execute my competition so well?" he said.
Eaton's teammate, reigning double world champion Trey Hardee, in fifth after three events, failed to register a height in the high jump for a disappointing end to his campaign.

I was arrested for driving with a suspended license for an unpaid speeding ticket.
The police were called to my house for an issue I had with a family member. I was unaware the license was suspended because I thought I paid the ticket. The police did not pull me over, did not see me driving, or anything of that nature. What can I do?
Did you tell the police that you had been driving, or did any of your family members tell the police you had been driving? While it is good that the police did not see you driving that is not an automatic win. You have to be careful with the suspended license charge because it arrives a minimum fine of $500, 2 days in jail, and carries an additional 6 month license suspension. If you can get the unpaid ticket cleared, reinstate your driver's license, and show your license to the prosecutor when you go to court.

My company has no workman comp insurance & I had too hire an attorney. He will be filing a motion with the workman uninsured fund in NJ..
I tried several times to contact him on finding out this question but he is not returning my calls.
The NJ Uninsured Fund pays for Temp disability and medical treatment. The uninsured Fund does not pay for any permanent injury. The fund will not pay until ordered to do so by a judge and only after the court has established that there is no insurance coverage for the respondent. The mere filing of the claim to join the uninsured fund does not commence payments. Typically several months will pass as the insurance issues must be completely resolved. At that point the fund has the right to take over and direct treatment.Ask a similar question
In all states except Texas where I practice, employers are required to have Worker's Compensation insurance and what you are using to your attorney in this case is a backup to that when the requirements fails. There are limits set in place on what can be recovered from such backup funds. I suggest that you put your concerns to the attorney in writing and ask for an office meeting to get the answers clarify. But he not be able to give you clear answers yet, so be patient.Ask a similar question
Employer are required in most states to have workers' compensation insurance. I suggest that you contact an experienced workers' compensation attorney who will meet with you for a free consultation.
You should consult an attorney for advice regarding your individual situation since every case is different and not all information is relayed in an online question. The Hedrick Law Firm is a workers' compensation firm located in Wilmington, NC, we invite you to contact us and welcome your calls at 910-343-1432.

Loved it, it but it started to rust....
I loved loved loved this shirt. Wore it twice and kept it in my closet like a treasure. Without any reason, the metal rings started to rust, left brownish spots and the fabric around them just broke. Truly disappointed...it was a birthday present.
Hi zarathustra, I'm sorry to hear about this! Someone from our team will be in touch with you! -Free People
Came apart before I even got a chance to wear it!
I am so disappointed in this shirt- it is beautiful and I was really looking forward to getting to wear it but sadly some of the bead work came undone- which caused a lot of it to unravel. For the price of the shirt, the quality should be top notch but that wasn't the case at all. So bummed.
Hey rosali, Sorry to hear about your shirt. Someone will be in touch. -Free People
A favorite.
This item arrived in mink while I was visiting my local FP. I would have never grabbed it on my own but I'm so happy the associates know me better than I know myself. Loose fitting & cropped with a gorgeous shoulder detail, it can be worn dressed up or down. This top is my new favorite!!
