Several people I know found their dresses at New Natalie's Bridals so I decided to try my luck there too. The store is large with every imaginable dress style at super-affordable prices. I know a recent bride who got a beautiful satin fit-and-flare dress with bling detailing from Natalie's for $300, so that got me pumped! We arrived right as the store opened and were introduced to my consultant for the day, Piper. Her sunny personality and positive energy fortified my hope. My mom showed pictures of the dress styles we liked from her cell phone to Piper and with an idea of what we were looking for, she lead us to a room where we all began picking out dresses for me to model.
As we drove away, Team Mom gave me a pep talk and I shook off all residual disappointment. My enthusiasm was renewed when we pulled up to Bridals by Lori of Say Yes the Dress fame. I took pictures of my team in front of the building and they took one of me holding up a bridal magazine full of dog-eared pages that held my wedding dress inspirations. When we walked into the lovely salon, I said aloud that the television show does it no justice because it looks so much better in person, very modern and classy. There are poster sized pictures of Monte and Lori everywhere and when I saw several other consultants from the show I had to hold in my giggles as I was amused that I had just seen them on my TV screen the day before.
After all, I did have an emotional reaction, but not one overflowing with tears like I see time and time again on TV. When I'm happy and feeling my best, I don't cry, I dance! I can't help it! That's what the silk organza dream brought out of me. Out of more than 50 dresses I tried on, it was the only one that made me dance and I can't wait to do just that on our wedding day.

Drink Beer, Neglect Family
Rated 4 / 5 stars
This is quite possibly the greatest game concept ever. It could have been executed a little better, but I'll give you points for creativity.
Well, I think there are several even greater game concepts... like Minecraft or DOTA ;) but thanks a lot for your words, feedback is one of the things I most anticipate (and dread) whenever I release a game, so positive feedback like this always warms an old man's heart :)
Finn and Jake Collab
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This was quite excellent. I especially liked the calvin and hobbes one.
The Mind
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This game is pretty fucking cool. It's like a mix of fez and super mario. With an awesome soundtrack and cute pixel graphics, this is exactly the kind of stuff I love to play. Great job.
Halloween is gay

The gameplay was addicting and the blood effects were awesome. Keep it up!
Blood effects are so fun. Every player deserves the satisfaction of seeing the defeated enemy or boss splatter everything in 'em in a display and gore leaving tomb of body fashion.

I am humbled by your game. May it prosper.
Uh, thanks. *Burps*
Red Code 2
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Fairly good
In all honesty, I have to admit, I liked the game. I loved the first one, but this one was pretty good too.
The gameplay was good, I liked that you brought back the whole "1 vs 1 million" theme back, battling an endless horde of bugs. However, I didn't really like the whole Hologram deal. It would have been much better if you simply put an AI that would follow you around and shoot on its own. The fact that it would only fire when you did totally destroyed the whole "back to back" theme on the final level. I found no point in it, and by that time I didnt even need a hologram, because you never upgraded him, you upgraded yourself. So by the final level I had a fully upgraded burst weapon and destroyed everything, and then he was Just firing once when I was firing high-powered beams.
I liked the upgrade system, however, as it gave you a lot of options. The only annoying this is that you never needed to upgrade more than 1 gun. I just suped upgraded the burst weapon and I ended up destroying everything with no help at all, even from the hologram. I barely used Grenades, and when I did I only used them for fun. But hey, the options were there, which were nice.
I liked the graphics, they weren't over the top, but they were nice and simple, and were perfect for this game. It gave the right light, if you know what I mean, to this game.
When I first started, I was hoping "nice! I loved the first one, I hope I get the turret again!" But sadly I found out that there was no turret :( instead I found a hologram who, in the 1st and 2nd stages could come quite in handy, but by the 3rd stage he was becoming obsolete and the 4th stage he was outright useless. And again, I bring up the suggestion of instead of a hologram, you give us a 2nd trooper who can slowly upgrade himself, instead of us having to upgrade him (which I never did, really, it didnt make sense for me to)
7/10 stars, for likeable graphics, a great storyline (Except the ending! that was terrible! Gah! I was hoping for something good and instead, just a ship comes up? That dissapointed me) and decent gameplay.

text: Welcome to Class 6 Teacher – Mr Jensen TA – Mrs Burke We have been slower than other year groups to start our topic due to our daily swimming sessions (fantastic pictures to come), but we are now studying the fascinating history, culture and geography of Ancient Egypt, focusing on iconic features such as the River Nile, tombs, artefacts, the pyramids and mummification. Can we crack the Ancient Egyptian code? Will we discover the real importance of hieroglyphics and what decoding their meaning meant for history? Yes we will! Running closely besides our topic work is science, where we will learn about the functions and purpose of the human skeleton. We will look closely at what humans and other animals need to eat in order to be healthy and grow, and discover why exercise is so important for our development and health. In Ancient Egypt, humans may have eaten different things, lived in a different environment and spoke in a different language, but we will soon see that human bodies over time and across the world, are very much the same! To bring our topic to life, we are reading Jeremy Brown and The Mummy's Curse, which is an exciting adventure story following a young boy and his sidekick on a mission to Egypt, where they aim to solve the mystery of the ancient curse. Will Jeremy solve the mystery or will giant mummies rule the world? We are yet to see! Pupils in Class 6 have been reading the story closely, using excellent comprehension skills to not only deduce meaning about plot and characters, but to also identify exciting vocabulary that they have then used in their own writing. So far, we have written letters to Jeremy's parents persuading them that going on a school trip to Egypt is a fabulous, educational opportunity. We have been learning to use speech marks, pronouns, connectives, adverbial phrases and much more, making us confident writers! Next, we will be writing our very own adventure stories!In mathematics, we have become confident with partitioning, place value, ordering positive and negative numbers, and reading coordinates. We are now starting to learn both mental and written strategies for adding large and tricky numbers. Pupils in Class 6 are making excellent progress! One of the many improvements that Class 6 are showing in their work, is the high standard of handwriting. We regularly practise joining our letters correctly and have already awarded three of our pupils a pen license at this early stage in the year! There will be lots more pens handed out over the coming months.

Jermain Defoe, at least, inspired something different from an all-too-familiar state of affairs on the international stage
England plod untested along well-worn qualifying path
England are the perfect case study for overhauling international football, if only for the way they negotiate qualifying groups with such tedious ease just so they can fall flat on their biennial major-tournament faces.
The 2-0 win over Lithuania at Wembley felt like something we'd sat through a thousand times before – from the packed visiting defence to the meaningless last 20 minutes, via the atmosphere that felt more like a late-afternoon high street than an international football match.
Just as you start to question the wisdom of analysing the individual and collective contributions, though, you realise that Southgate has only these formalities against 107th-ranked inconveniences to mould his team into a battle-ready machine. These might not seem like the rigorous conditions to discover if Michael Keane is made of the right stuff for international football but, until someone finds a better way of structuring it all, this is international football.
Being a back-up goalkeeper must be a tricky existence. You do all the drills, all the warm-ups, and then sit there for 90 minutes each week on the off-chance that you might be called upon in an emergency.
That leaves a lot of time to think about extra-curricular activities (not a euphemism, for once) and Chelsea's no.2 number one Asmir Begovic has taken one look at Juan Mata's notoriously charming blog…and taken things to a new level.Why is it weird that a Premier League footballer has his own podcast? Not sure, but let's all have a listen and find out if our Monday morning commute needs Asmir Begovic talking about sport

text: Hi George, Your description of winter and summer ephippia intrigues me. I have done a lot of study regarding Daphnia (I have access to one of the biggest libraries in europe due to legal deposition), but I don't think I've come across this phenomenon. What species of Daphnia produce these two types of ephippia?

There are a variety of approaches to project management. Critical chain management (CCPM) puts more emphasis on the resources required to execute tasks, while event chain methodology focuses on managing events that will affect scheduling. Regardless of the method you choose, the Small Business Administration advises listing out specific project objectives, create a working timeline of both materials and personnel, and monitor all required costs as the project proceeds. Project control means keeping on-track, on-time, and under budget.
A project manager, therefore, is responsible for determining project requirements, and managing all elements of the task. Project management software is available that will help to organize both yourself and your team. Depending on the sophistication of the software, it may include estimating and cost control, decision-making trees, and a workflow analysis. Over the course of any project, the requirements may change mid-stream, without prior notice. Changes can be the result of necessary design modifications, altered site conditions, material availability or lack thereof. Finally, a formal, compliance-based audit may be conducted by upper management after completion. Beyond major requirements within the economics department, you may consider Mercer County Community College research library as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

AC Transit has a technical problem with its TransLink equipment that has forced the agency to put the "smart card" test program on hold, an official with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission said Tuesday.
AC Transit was one of two Bay Area public transit agencies tapped to test the high-tech system that one day will allow transit riders to use one high-tech fare card on the region's buses, ferries and trains.
The other agency participating in the test phase is Golden Gate bus and ferry system, which has not experienced any major difficulties.
AC Transit found that 10 percent to 20 percent of the time the fare cards were not registering properly when users inserted them in the card readers on the buses. The problem: a bad electrical connection.
John Goodwin, spokesman for the MTC, said that about 75 percent of the 700-bus fleet has been inspected, and if faulty equipment was found, the relatively easy fix was made. Clarence Johnson, a spokesman for AC Transit, said the TransLink test could start up again by month's end, and select members of the riding public will begin to participate.
"You don't ever want to have problems, but if you're going to have them, this is the time to have them," Johnson said.
Meanwhile, the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District has put out a call for for another 200 people to join the 800 or so bus riders already participating in the test program. About 1,200 TransLink transactions a day already are taking place on the ferries.
The long-planned TransLink program is expected to be phased in over the next several years. BART, Municipal Railway and Caltrain are expected to launch this year. SamTrans and the Santa Clara VTA are set to go live in 2008. Another 19 public transit agencies are in line to join in 2009 and 2010.

Rogers earning Tribe's trust in tight spots
Rogers earning Tribe's trust in tight spots
That was clear on Wednesday night, when the Indians handed Rogers the ball with one out and the bases loaded in the fifth inning. The righty escaped the jam with a strikeout and a groundout -- only using his curveball -- to help send the Indians on their way to a 10-6 win.
"Now he's stepping into higher leverage situations," Indans manager Manny Acta said on Thursday morning. "Yesterday, that was huge, not only for him, but for us. We trusted him to come into a bases-loaded, one-out type of deal. For him to get us out there had to be a big boost for him."
Rogers has arguably been the surprise of the season for the Tribe's relief corps.
When the Rockies traded the reliever to the Indians in exchange for cash on June 12, Rogers had an 8.06 ERA with 29 strikeouts against 18 walks through 25 2/3 innings. Through 14 appearances with Cleveland, though, he's posted a tidy 2.04 ERA, striking out 22 and walking just three in 17 2/3 innings.
The Indians did not make any changes to Rogers' pitch distribution or mechanics. The team only asked him to try to harness his fastball, which can touch 97-98 mph, without trying to be too fine. Along those lines, Cleveland's catchers have been told to set up in the middle of the plate, rather than trying to set pitches up over the edges.
"His strikeout-to-walk ratio is very, very good right now to say the least," Acta said. "When you have that type of stuff, and you attack the strike zone, more times than not you're going to be successful. He's gaining a lot of confidence right now."

Academic Programs include: Medicine, Physician Assistant Studies, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Pharmacy, & many more! The good news is that communities throughout the nation are doing the onerous work to develop bold plans to change their local health system to foster enhancements in their neighborhood's health. Yoga has quite a few advantages as nicely that may profit your running and is used by most of the top athletes on the planet as part of their fitness routine. In health care, these modifications led to an more and more expensive system which produced increasingly unhealthy outcomes for sufferers and the general public. The state's funds morass means the two state businesses charged with protecting consumer pursuits and helping customers join with coverage options—the Department of Insurance and Get Covered Illinois—are underfunded and in poor health-prepared to serve the public.
We can not proceed to support a medical system that rewards treating critical well being conditions with surgical procedure and long-time period drug dependence. I was forty one years outdated when this started, I have any army of docs who all agreed that I'm completely and permantly disabled and the police department required actual docs to approve me they usually did for medical reasons but social safety denies hoping you will quit. Three years will go earlier than my hearing date. He was referring to a 2010 case through which the corporate paid $422.5 million for allegedly advertising six medicine off-label and paying kickbacks to health care professionals.
Illinois lacks enough income, which represents a structural finances problem, priming the State to have recurring budget shortages and hampering our ability to supply Illinoisans with the general public companies they want and want, thus harming the health of the general public, and disproportionately harming vulnerable communities. Workplace wellness applications are more and more adopted by companies for their worth in enhancing the health and well-being of their workers, as are college well being services with a view to improve the well being and well-being of youngsters.
BMI does not keep in account body composition: Someone who features their weight of their abdomen, might have to be on the decrease end of average, due to the unhealthy fats that builds in the belly space. So, the online omega-3 content of 200 g of dried smelts is the equal to the online omega-3 content material of about 20 fish oil softgels. Your medical crew performs an infinite role in your life helping you create your optimum well being as well as diagnosing issues and addressing larger health issues, too – perhaps even some that could mean life or demise to you or a member of the family! So Steward Health Systems, which bought out by Cerberus Capital Management, has now largely followed this playbook. It states that 40 million immigrants in 2010 alone have affected the U.S. well being care system and it's nonetheless rising. I'm a health freak and that i can tell you i've learned so much info from here.

I remember a couple years ago I decide that I would plan a day to hit the Provo River during a full moon in the summer time. I had always wanted to go for those monsters that you hear only come out at night. I remember it being in July sometime because I wanted to hit the nightly caddis hatch then just stick around until the moon popped over the mountain and then through streamers and mice. Just my luck as the moon was showing itself a very thin layer of wispy clouds rolled in and made it just dark enough that I couldn't see that well. I still stuck around fishing with the light from my headlamp but I ultimate got to freaking scared sitting in the river by myself knowing that there could be a BigFoot come from no where and have a midnight snack. Watching this video has committed me to do get at least one night on the river during a full moon this summer. The only must is that I will have someone with me so I don't get freaked out that I will be eaten by an animal.

Victoria's Secret Models | Skinny to Curvy/
Today's Daily Mail's article about Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio is great, because it underscores what happens when women visually compare themselves to the thinnest woman.
Part of a Victoria's Secret threesome, my first reaction on seeing Ambrosio is that the other Victoria's Secret models Doutzen Kroes and Brooklyn Decker look pretty hefty — translated gorgeously healthy but visibly curvier.
In women's relentless body-image self-scrutiny, it all depends on who you're standing next to — or the image in the photo.
Talking about Victoria's Secret, the Brazilian Yummy Mummy said recently: 'I'm very lucky to work for a brand (Victoria's Secret) that wants women to be healthy. You need to be able to fill out the bra and the panties, so yes, I'm a curvier girl.'

By Zach Harvey
I will quietly admit that when Trump won the election, I breathed a very short and well-concealed sigh of relief—not because I had any personal faith in the man's integrity, intelligence, poise, or political aptitude, but because I'd been getting increasingly alarmed by the audacity of some environmental NGO's in the wake of Obama's marine monument executive order bonanza.
Almost as soon as the ink had dried on an order that sealed fishermen out of thousands of square miles of bottom along the edge of the shelf SE of Cape Cod, Environmentalist interests put a full-court press on canyons further west, including Block and Hudson among other grounds of major import to fishermen from Virginia to Cape Cod. Using the momentum and the precedent of that order, which took a shotgun approach to protecting obscure, recently discovered deep sea corals whose actual location was totally unknown, they sought to close most of the Edge using these same little-studied bottom features.
In the months leading up to Election Day, the left (and enviros especially) was operating as though a Clinton victory were a foregone conclusion, I was becoming genuinely fearful that another four years under a liberal administration would usher in a mania of arbitrary area closures and leave an already punchdrunk fishing industry in smoldering ruins.
For the record, I am not the only left-leaning fisheries guy who felt this momentary relief. Nor am I the only guy who has since found new causes for alarm as our megalo-oligarch President Trump has snatched the reigns of executive power (and then some). My conservative friends in fisheries remain hopeful that our newly-anointed Supreme Leader will deliver on campaign trail promises to approach new regulation with an eye for untangling the statutory gridlock that has hamstrung various industries (the fleet, by extension) for years. For my part, while I'm grateful for the momentum shift, I'm considerably less confident that the next four years will do anything great for the fishing industry.
Here's the trouble. For one thing, a grim truth about our industry is that, on a national, big-business scale, total US fishing revenues, or fishing jobs, look cute alongside any other food-production or leisure/ entertainment industry. America on the whole barely eats seafood—the bulk of what seafood we do consume is shrimp (much of it imported) or Alaskan pollock harvested by a relative handful of corporate-owned factory trawlers in the Pacific Northwest.
Stack our New England fleet up against, say, Big Chicken, Big Beef, Pepsico, or the defense history. Outside of the quaint seaside-town photo-ops or the appealing mythology of the American frontier spirit among independent fishermen (staples of election-year politics in New England), we just don't represent the raw economic juice to command the sort of sustained executive or congressional attention it would take to put a small dent in the foothill of red tape that snarls up most fishing businesses.
More importantly, the huge regulatory burden current fishermen face is a product of many layers of overlapping environmental, budgetary, and interstate-commerce statute, not to mention state-federal jurisdictional gray areas or the thicket of permit issues. The fish-management regime's reach extends well beyond the limitations of executive power, even if it were the President's intention to put that house in order.
The root struggle these last 5 to 8 years—the underlying problem that arises in various fisheries multiple times per fishing year—is a statutory paradox stemming from Congress's ongoing love affair with the idea that regulators must base all decisions on sound science. Unfortunately, with Commerce/NOAA/NMFS personnel and budgets stretched paper-thin in recent years, there has been almost no money available to conduct all the aforementioned groundbreaking fishery research.
As it stands, the only route out of unnecessarily harsh catch restrictions on species like, say, black sea bass, will be a whole pile of data that will eventually hack the considerable statistical uncertainty about the size, composition, or distribution of that fish stock down to size. Current wording in the Magnuson Act requires that regulators subtract the margin for error (as a percentage of the total allocated landings).
Maybe I'm being overly cynical, but hiring freezes and probable major shifts in budgetary priorities don't give me soaring hopes for the fishery's five-year outlook. Or, put another way, with multiple federal agencies that serve much larger segments of the US population in disarray, I doubt we'll see a brighter day for our fishermen atop the new administration's to-do list.
Or course, there's a more fundamental concern for the fishery's five- or 10-year prospects—a familiar worry for those who've been paying close attention to federal fisheries policy over the last decade. For better or worse, we're now five or so years down a path to industry consolidation. Since the enviro world found religion in catch shares some years back, regulators have been using a combination of limited entry/ access and "natural" market forces (working capital first and foremost) to deliver a huge reduction in domestic fishing capacity.
If you want to know where this is all headed, all you need do is examine any other major American industry in the Big Box Era of American business. By any name, catch shares are a tool of corporatization and, more importantly, of privatization. Unlucky for working fishermen, the process by which units of a commodity historically viewed as a public resource fall into private hands seldom favors the little guy.
And if you want to get a clearer sense of where President Trump falls on small-business economics, look at the way the man conducted business in the private sector, particularly the way he has negotiated or leveraged his debts. If you want some insight into his sentiments about the oft-romanticized work of fishing, consider: The guy who plans to build the Great Wall of Texas, who has been crystal-clear about his intent to close America's doors to immigrants, is a guy with little use for the mythology of frontiers or the independent spirit of fishermen.
Many of our politicians and the throngs of lobbyists who steer them have bought into the commoditization—the buying, selling, trading, and individual ownership—of fish stocks (or timber, or water, etc.) as units of future annual harvest with variable exchange rates.
Brutal as it sounds, there are many business ventures that can profit from a given tract of seabed. It's no accident, I've begun to suspect, that Obama sought to enclose and protect a large swath of our ocean. A decade into a closed-door dialogue about "marine spatial planning," we've yet to see the full range of global players currently jockeying for position as we begin to negotiate the lay of fences across our liquid frontier. Mining, global container shipping, LNG ports, offshore wind and hydroelectric, oil, even academic research—business of serious financial consequence trying to gain footing. The clearing of our "common grazing land" of the fishermen who have long pulled their living from a watery extension of the public domain will—sooner than most of us suspect—secure the future for newer, bigger, better commerce.
Business on that scale is a force that dwarfs party politics. If you had it in your head that the far left (a la CLF, Pew, the Ocean Conservancy, EDF) is the sole purveyor of anti-fishing policy, start thinking bigger. Not all that's green is good.
If you have a serious personal urge to secure your fishing future, now is the exact time you need to step up. Do extensive homework before you give any organization clearance to speak on your behalf. You'd be appalled to learn where many respected environmental groups land on key fishing or ecological issues. As for the faith you place in (or withhold from) our new top exec, believe half of what you see and none of what your hear.

Home Features Thought Leadership Five lessons from the trenches on government innovations and the hype cycle
Text size :
The Gartner hype cycle tracks how technologies develop from initial conception to productive use. There is much excitement around different methodologies and technologies in the "government innovation" space, but which of these is hyped and which of these is truly productive?
Last year we made some educated guesses and placed ten government innovations along the hype cycle. This year, however, we went for something bigger and better. We created an entirely non-scientific poll and asked respondents to tell us where they thought these same ten government innovations sat on the hype cycle.
The innovations we included were artificial intelligence, blockchain, design thinking, policy labs, behavioural insights, open data, e-government, agile, lean and New Public Management.
Here is what we learned.
On average, our respondents don't think that any of the methods have made it into truly productive use. In fact, for seven out of the ten innovations, the majority of respondents believed that these were indeed still in the "technology trigger" phase.
Assuming that these innovations will steadily make their way along the hype cycle, we should expect a lot more hype (as they enter the "peak of inflated expectations") and a lot more disappointment (as they descend into the "trough of disillusionment)" going forward. Government innovation advocates should take heed.
This innovation attracted the highest level of disagreement from respondents. While almost two out of five people believe that policy labs are in the "technology trigger" phase, one out of five see them as having already reached the "slope of enlightenment". On average, however, respondents believe policy labs to be in the "peak of inflated expectations".
Both this disagreement over where they stand and the general current level of disappointment with policy labs may point to two things: the highly ambiguous meaning of the concept, and the fact that while many countries have "policy labs", they often are similar in name only and do wildly different things. Proponents of policy labs point to longstanding success stories like Mindlab in Denmark, Policy Lab in the UK, Innovation Lab in the US and city labs such as the Barcelona Urban Lab.
Our survey respondents rather unanimously believe that blockchain is at the very early stage of the "technology trigger" phase. Given that blockchain is often characterized as a solution in search of a problem, this view may not be surprising. The survey results also indicates that blockchain will have a long way to go before it will be used productively in government, but there are several ways this can be done.
On average, respondents believe that artificial intelligence (AI) is in the "technology trigger" phase. Interestingly, this technology also attracted a fair level of disagreement between respondents. While just under two-thirds of respondents thought it was in the "technology trigger" phase, it is also the only other innovation (along with policy labs) where some respondents believe that it has made it beyond the "trough of disillusionment" and into the "plateau of productivity".
This may either reflect the hype surrounding AI or, more optimistically, point to the fact that the future is already here – it's just unevenly distributed. What seems certain though is that AI will, over time, reshape how governments look, think and act.
Some respondents believed that New Public Management (NPM) had moved beyond the "trough of disillusionment" and into the "slope of enlightenment". On average, our respondents rather surprisingly rated NPM as being in the "peak of inflated expectations". It's unclear whose expectations of NPM have not been deflated at this point.
This result may be explained by the absence of a "trash heap of failed innovations" option in the survey. Respondents who believed that NPM never made it beyond the "peak of inflated expectations" may not have had any way to indicate that.
We asked respondents to assess these technologies and methods in the context of the government they were most familiar with. Not every method will be at the same point on the curve in every polity. This is likely one of two reasons behind the variation in opinion that we see (the other one being genuine disagreements over where a method stands).
We received a number of suggestions for methodological refinements, such as measuring how the assessments might differ between countries or levels of government.
Respondents also suggested other government innovations which were not part of the survey. These include evidence-informed policymaking, delivery units, virtual reality and – in a developing country context – the use of mobile phones to monitor government operations.
The "hype cycle" model, this particular survey and the insights are certainly entertaining, but it would, of course, be a mistake to take the results too literally.
There is, however, an important point here. "Innovation" on its own is devoid of meaning. This is true more generally, but particularly so in the government space. Ultimately we should care about government effectiveness. Innovations are only interesting in so far as they allow us to improve people's lives.
The "hype cycle" model can help us manage the progress of a method, hopefully speeding up the time it takes to reach productive use. The Public Impact Fundamentals, our framework for understanding government effectiveness, are a useful lens to look at government innovations and understand how exactly they are contributing to governments achieving impact.

Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Dario (Diego Abatantuono) is a lively, loyal friend, and a good trouper who can recover cheerfully from even the worst onstage disasters. He needs to be, because he is constantly onstage with his best friend Federico (Fabrizio Bentivoglio), who is a barely adequate actor. In everyday life, Federico somewhat timid and unassertive. It's too bad that Dario is having an affair with Federico's wife, but in every other regard, Dario works hard to look after his friend while they are on tour together, playing shows in one small town after another. When Federico discovers the ruse, at first he is hurt, but in the end, both men have become disgusted with Federico's wife's inability to choose between them.

POF's P415-7 operating components consist of gas piston, op-rod, and regulated gas plug. All working components are hard chromed and NP3 plated for durability, reliability, and easy maintenance. Seen here with Aimpoint Micro T-1, SureFire M300, Magpul Angled Fore Grip and Laser Devices' DBAL-A2.
POF-USA or Patriot Ordnance Factory, continues to set new standards of innovation in carbines for tactical use. Anyone who has ever had to clear a building or exit a cruiser knows that within the bounds of reliability and accuracy, shorter is better. POF-USA manufactures some of the most reliable short-barreled carbines on the planet. The subject of our current evaluation is POF's LE/Military Only P415-7 MRR (Modular Railed Receiver) Carbine. Like all POF rifles and carbines, the P415-7 sets new standards of reliability for the venerable AR platform.
What makes POF's rifles and carbines truly different? Suppose we told you that POF's rifles and carbines required no lubrication? Suppose we told you that it really didn't need regular cleaning, either? Finally, suppose we told you that POF AR's would run over 20,000 rounds without a failure? Independent testers have attempted to literally shoot POF rifles and carbines to the point of failure, but as far as we know, nobody has been able to do so. POF's carbines are so reliable, especially in hostile environments such as Afghanistan and Iraq, where Special Forces "operators" are purchasing POF- USA upper receivers out of their personal funds for deployment.
P415-7's forend mounting rails allow the use of accessories such as this Laser Devices DBAL-A2.
POF AR-type rifles are truly unlike any other. Externally, the most obvious difference between the P415 and others is the patented Predator upper receiver that not only features an uninterrupted full-length Mil-Std-1913 top rail and rails at the handguard sides and bottom, but also free floats the barrel, enabling mounting accessories without affecting the rifle's zero. Our P415 came with a 7.25-inch barrel, but is also available in longer lengths up to 18 inches. The P415 nitrate casehardened, "5R" barrel is fluted along its length for rigidity, and heat dissipation. The flutes offer a greater surface area, so heat is more rapidly dispersed that with standard heavy barrels. Flutes also stiffen the barrel and improve accuracy by reducing barrel vibration as the rifle is fired.
The test carbine also came equipped with a Vortex flash suppressor, one of the most effective devices available. Fit and finish of the P415 are excellent. I was particularly impressed with the mating of upper and lower receivers with absolutely no "play" whatsoever. Like every POF firearm I have evaluated, this POF P415 is one of the best-assembled AR-type rifles I have ever seen.
One of the major differences between the P415 and any other is the patented gas system that eliminates the inherent problems associated with Stoner's original design. The original AR direct impingement gas system not only blows large amounts of fouling and particulate matter back into the receiver, but also causes excessive heat to be transferred to the receiver area in rapid semi-automatic or full-automatic fire. There have been attempts to solve the AR's gas system problems in the past, but POF is the best one I have seen. The P415 gas system consists of a regulated (normal and suppressed modes) gas cylinder plug, a 6-inch chrome-lined gas cylinder with a chrome-plated stainless steel piston and operating rod that impinges against a reinforced bolt carrier key. Unlike some other "op rod" systems, there are no springs on the Predator rod. Heat from sustained firing may damage springs that surround op rods that are in close proximity to the barrel. This is especially true in select-fire rifles. The P415 gas system is self-regulating.
The P415 system can be easily and quickly disassembled by simply pressing in on the gas cylinder plug button while rotating the plug clockwise. Once the plug is removed, the piston and operating rod fall out when the muzzle is pointed down. Reassembly is accomplished by simply dropping the rod back into the gas cylinder with the muzzle pointed up. If it doesn't fall into place, all that is necessary is to shake the upper receiver — the rod will fall. The piston is replaced with the gas rings forward. The plug fits only one way and cannot be incorrectly reassembled. All that is necessary is to push the plug into place, press the locking button and rotate the plug counterclockwise.

UAE Ministry of Economy gears up for 5th Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) 2015, to be attended by representatives from 140 countries
H.E. Al Mansoori: "The main theme of AIM 2015 is 'Sustainable Development Through FDI-Induced Innovation and Technology Transfer"
Dawood Al Shezawi: "AIM will highlight UAE's historic achievement in creating UAE Space Agency, reflecting innovation and technology transfer"
Dubai, UAE, 8 October 2014: Under the directive of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, UAE Ministry of Economy announced today (8 October 2014) that preparations for the 5th Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) scheduled from March 30 to April 1, 2015, at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre, are in full swing.
H.E Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansoori, UAE Minister of Economy, said that the past four editions of AIM were successful in bringing together a galaxy of decision makers and investments experts, putting the spotlight on hot investment destinations of the world and the rising stature of the UAE as a top destination for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
This year's meeting, themed on 'Sustainable Development Through FDI-Induced Innovation and Technology Transfer', will be attended by representatives from 140 countries.
HE Al Mansoori said: "As we prepare for the 5th Annual Investment Meeting 2015, we can see the return of optimism to the global economy after more than five years of daunting economic challenges. According to most analysts, global GDP is forecast to grow at 3.0 and 3.3 per cent in 2014 and 2015 respectively."
The 5th edition of AIM will be held at a time when the UAE has become a first class investment destination, due to several factors, such as its strategic location, flexibility in logistics, and advanced infrastructure as well as the increase of FDI flow, which stood at AED 387 billion.
HE Al Mansoori said: "As for outward global FDI, while there is strong FDI growth in growing markets from Asia and intra-regional investment, developed economies are still the main source of investment. However, growing markets are becoming significant investors in their own right, as observed in the last few years, and are likely to reinforce the long-term trend of greater participation by global enterprises in global FDI flow."
Innovation is the main topic of discussion at AIM 2015, which comes at a time when the UAE was ranked first among Middle East countries in overall performance in 2014 according to the Global Innovation Index, published by Cornell University and the European Institute for Business Administration INSEAD and the World Intellectual Property Organization. The high rank, which recognizes success in attracting talent and minds, reflects the vision of the government and its commitment to provide an ideal environment for innovation and technology transfer and exchange of experiences and competencies.
HE Al Mansoori added: "Many countries have realized how FDI can accelerate growth and development due to transfer of technology and high-end industries. Large corporations, the main drivers of FDI, are a powerful and effective channels for disseminating technology from developed to growing markets, and represent a major source of new and innovative technologies."
AIM 2015 will highlight the historic achievement in creating UAE Space Agency, and plans to launch the first exploratory probe to Mars led by research team from the UAE.
Mr. Dawood Al Shezawi, CEO, AIM's Organizing Committee says: "The most prominent research topics in this edition of AIM are the contribution of FDI in transferring of technology and expertise between countries. The forum will shed light on this type of investment and its role in getting the latest and most advanced technological innovations, due to the fact that huge companies own unique capabilities in scientific and technological research. This technology transfer will be accompanied by best organizational, administrative and technical skills."
In spite of the existence of alternative channels for direct investment, which enable countries to attract the techniques of modern technology such as administrative contracts and licenses as well as published research on direct purchase, FDI is the best way to attract feasible technology through close communication between investors and the investment environment, which highlights the theme of AIM 'Sustainable Development Through FDI-Induced Innovation and Technology Transfer'.
"This edition seeks to raise awareness about ways of sustainable development through FDI and the contribution of this investment in technology and innovation in any country. The strategies of foreign companies in determining the type of technology used in existing projects or its affiliates are determined by the effectiveness of technology transfer and promotion of innovation. This step facilitates the entry of new systems and encourages more local companies to adopt them for the advancement of its operations and keep pace with operational global standards and thus ensure long-term sustainability, the promotion of innovation and adoption of high technology."
The operations of technology transfer and indigenization of FDI are on the agenda of several industry sectors in the region and the world, which is an effective and optimum proven advancement of economies worldwide.
Organizers of AIM 2015 say the role of emerging markets is to provide an ideal economic environment for foreign investments and overcome all logistical procedures and ensure its continuity. Emerging markets are also required to invest in infrastructure and services sector to create an ideal investment chain which will achieve positive results for all parties in the investment process.
AIM advocates that dealing with FDI and multinational companies must be conducted in accordance with a clear strategy that makes transferring technology a priority. This includes an integrated study of the ability to acquire and adapt technology as well as the mechanisms intended for technological development.
AIM 2015 will highlight the changes in the world FDI landscape which is continuing its rapid pace and is characterized by fierce competition and its determinants are evolving towards location advantages.
"AIM 2015 will throw light on the ways and means to attract, retain and benefit from foreign investment which in turn creates jobs and develops skills. It will teach how to enhance the technological contribution of foreign firms through education and specialized technological training as well as how spillovers and backward linkages can be realized," Al Shezawi said.
AIM 2015 is expected to attract more than 500 exhibitors from 140 countries, showcasing products, services and projects from sectors like agriculture & agribusiness, aviation, commodities & trading, construction, education & research centers, energy, finance, banking and insurance free zone management government, healthcare, Information Technology telecommunications Infrastructure investment, law & legal affairs logistics manufacturing marine & submarine mining pharmaceuticals, real estate & property development, tourism & hospitality, transportation and waste management.
The AIM 2015 Workshops will feature key presentations addressed by global FDI experts, offering a comprehensive overview of investment related topics. The informative approach of business facilitation will be combined with a tactical review of operational requirements through practical case studies.
On the eve of the main event, there will be a Thought-Leadership Conference highlighting the effective path to inclusive growth, with a focus on incomes and living standards, by building new links with the global economy and attracting FDI that brings with it new technologies. Participants will learn about latest trends in foreign direct investment at the global and regional levels through the launch of the second edition of AIM Investment Report 2015.
The second edition of the AIM Investment Report will be presented on 30 March 2015. AIM 2015 will address many pressing issues such as the policies and the regulatory frameworks needed, including balanced intellectual property rights to effectively leverage FDI as a mean to achieve transfer of technology; the equity and non-equity forms of global firms that favour transfer of technology, know-how and skills; Trends in FDI-related R&D and how to attract them and integrate global knowledge networks and role of incentives in attracting asset seeking FDI and best practices.
Al Shezawi said: "Global growth is still slow, where there is now a shift in the process of growth, according to the latest edition of 'World Economic Outlook' report prepared by the International Monetary Fund. The Fund had predicted average global growth of 2.9% in 2013. Attendees confirmed that the emerging markets for the first time attracted foreign direct investment higher than advanced markets, with a share of 52%."
AIM 2014 attendees included 56 ministers and deputy minister. It was spread over 8000 sqm and was attended by more than the 11,356 people and 469 exhibitors from 112 countries. It was also supported by knowledge partners, 23 commercial partners, 115 media partners, 75 investment promotion agencies. The conference was attended by more than 100 international expert and specialist in FDI.
The country-wise participation was as follows: 1% from North America, 1% from South America, 12% from Africa, 62% from the Middle East, 13% from Asia, 4% from Western Europe and 7% from Eastern Europe.

Elaeagnus ebbingei is a fast growing evergreen, hardy, salt-wind tolerant hedging plant that will even grow very close to the sea. It produces fragrant, creamy white flowers in autumn, followed by small red fruits in spring if a pollinator such as Elaeagnus Limelight is planted nearby. From our experience it seems to fruit best in full sun on poor soils.
If fed with a good slow release fertiliser like Trevena Cross Fertiliser, it will grow 60-90cm/2-3ft once established, with an ultimate height of up to 4m/13ft (although can of course be trimmed to 1.5-2.5m/5-8ft or whatever height you require.)
They should be planted 60-90cm/2-3ft apart from one another - although they can be planted further apart if you do not mind waiting longer for them to form a solid hedge. It will grow well in any well drained soil, even poor, dry soils, as it is particularly drought tolerant, and can be positioned in anything from full sun to heavy shade.
Please note, the picture shown is for illustration purposes only. It is a good guide to plant size and shape, however actual plants may differ a bit from those shown. Please contact us first if you have very specific expectations.

Even If God Does Not Deliver Us, We Will Not Bow
Contributed by Jeremiah B. Menyongai, Jr. on Mar 14, 2016 (message contributor)
1. Even If God Does Not Deliver Us, We Will Not Bow - An Introduction
Contributed on Mar 14, 2016
We must take a stand for God. Just like the Hebrew Boys, we too will be tempted for what we believe. Our God whom we serve can deliver. History and the Bible prove that He can. Therefore He will again. Our problem is that we forget so easily.
2. Even If God Does Not Deliver Us We Will Not Bow Pt 2 Who Is The 4th Man?
Contributed on Mar 14, 2016
The Fourth Man awaits you in the furnace of affliction and will preserve you from the flame of the heat. God never leaves his beloved stranded. He forever protects them from the smell of smokes. Be committed for the fire will only loosen the bondage.
3. Come Out From Among Them And Be Separate
Contributed on Mar 14, 2016
The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been bought with a price. We therefore need to be separate in our actions and speech. We must not let the world spot us. God has called us to a life of example. Like the Hebrew Boys, we must represent God always.

And I get to thinking to my self;
"Self, wouldn't it be more convenient to have both of those rifles chambered in the same caliber?"
And I answer myself that yes, it might be.
"And wouldn't it be more convenient overall if both of them were in 7.62x51? You know, like the several other Sport Utility Rifles you already own?"
And I have to admit that I make good sense.
So, Anybody looking to trade?

Well, the only .308 I have at the moment is an FR-8, otherwise I might take you up on it...

Darn, I was hoping you wanted to get rid of the 2A! I have had 2, and wish I had never gotten rid of them! I have about 100 rounds of GI Match once-fired brass, but no .308, I even have a no-gunsmithing scope mount for it that I have kept hoping I would find another decent example...

Having all your rifles (or pistols or shotguns)in the same caliber is akin to putting all your eggs in one basket. It may well be one mighty fine basket, but if gravity takes it, you are still SOL. During The Great Ammo Drought of 2008-2009, sometimes the only ammo (or even components!) on the shelves were oddball stuff: .357 Sig, .303 Britt, .40 FMJ bullets, Benchrest primers .....
In short: Supprt Diversity! Have 2 of everything!

Due diligence
It is important to balance the risks and benefits of WIL so that students have access to quality WIL activities in a safe learning environment.
Performing due diligence is assessing the risks of the Work Integrated Learning (WIL) activity to ensure the activity is appropriate and safe. This includes:
- assessing the WIL activity for risk
- checking if the student is under 18 years of age
- checking the appropriateness of the WIL activity for that student
- conducting a site visit or phone interview to determine if a new or an unfamiliar site has an OH&S policy and is a suitable location for a WIL activity.
WIL activities for particular fields of study such as Medical and Health Sciences carry a higher risk and require site visits to determine if the location is suitable for a WIL activity.
Visit the Perform Due Diligence process for a guide and resources for performing due diligence.

The LA Times is reporting that News Corp. and NBC are plotting a challenge against YouTube with their own online video website. At this point, I just have to ask… Where is it? It seems like it is all talk. MySpace did a pretty good job with developing their own video player, but it seems like it is too late for it to be a "YouTube killer." Besides, YouTube seems to be a different demographic than those who would like to watch full episodes of '24,' 'Heroes,' 'Family Guy,' etc. If people enjoy these shows, they may as well watch it on TV. The reason why YouTube is a hit is because of videos like these:
And not because you will temporarily find full-episodes of The Office.
News Corp and NBC is asking for help from Yahoo!, Microsoft, AOL, and MySpace. "The media companies don't want to be forced to only work with one distribution entity, in Google," stated UBS Warburg analyst, Aryeh Bourkoff. "I don't think it's too late." Viacom last week announced that they were suing Google for…. $1 billion dollars because of YouTube copyright infringement.
