Drake and Josh is a TV shows about two teenage boys (Josh Peck and Drake Bell) with opposing personalities who later became step-brothers. Miranda Cosgrove starred as their little sister Megan.
The series is focused on a pair of step-brothers of opposite personalities; Drake Parker is portrayed as being a popular aspiring musician idolized by his schoolmates and able to court a countless array of beautiful girls with ease, whereas his brother Josh Nichols is depicted as being a nerdy, eccentric, awkward boy of feckless luck with dating and popularity. Residing in San Diego, California with their odd, misfortunate, geeky father; a weatherman named Walter, their loving mother Audrey, and outrageously manipulative and conniving younger sister Megan, the boys are often positioned in outrageous, typical situation comedy misadventures and obstacles that they are faced with the challenge of overcoming while also handling average teenage situations such as dating and popularity.

Lancaster and Morecambe College recently hosted their annual Volunteer Awards.
The scheme was made to recognise and celebrate all the fantastic work the students do at college and in the community.
The event started in 2007, this year being their eighth annual awards ceremony.
Danny Matthews from The Bay Radio presented the awards alongside David Wood, college principal, who congratulated the students for their determination to work and help others, handing out certificates and trophies.
There were a number of certificates given out ranging from bronze to gold, as well as three special achievement awards, given to those students who contributed to an exceptional level for the college as well as the community.
The 'Volunteer of the Year' and 'Outstanding Contribution' Awards were then given to two extraordinary students showing unprecedented enthusiasm, generously giving their time to aid others, displaying their great commitment.
Recipients of the Special Achievement Award included:
*Beverley Williamson, nominated for her dedication and contribution to the Student Council and particularly for her help and support in the organisation and running of this year's joint culture festival.
*Hannah Williamson, for an amazing 290 hours of volunteering, contributing to sport.
*Josh Dent, for his brilliant efforts volunteering to coach children both locally and abroad amounting a total of 325 hours.
Tara Kenyon was hailed Volunteer of the Year. After finishing her HND in public services, Tara took the time to help other students.
Finally, Catherine Huddleston was given the Outstanding Contribution Award in recognition for her four years of service as a Students' Union communications officer and her contribution this year to the running of the Students' Union.

THE figures tell their own stark tale about the scale of the damage inflicted on Leeds during Boxing Day's floods.
Around 3,300 properties flooded. About £9m of damage to roads and other infrastructure. More than £3m distributed in support to affected businesses. People in 30 households across the city still, even now, unable to return to their homes.
But those figures, remarkable as they are, only give half a story. For behind them lie countless examples of people pulling together to help family, friends and neighbours battle through the worst flooding in West Yorkshire since the Second World War.
And today, six months on from Storm Eva and the massive problems that accompanied it, civic chiefs paid fresh tribute to the resilience of the residents of Leeds.
Leeds City Council leader Coun Judith Blake told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "People have come together showing incredible grit, determination and community spirit to get their families back home, businesses back on their feet and help clean up their communities.
"Even with the support available in the last six months, sadly there are still some people who can't get home or into their premises due to the sheer scale of work needed to rectify the utterly devastating impact of the floods.
"We can only imagine how heartbreaking this is.
"Residents and businesses need to be confident that they'll have the financial and physical protection they need.
"That's why it's vital that we continue to press for changes so people have the right level of insurance and that, with our partners, we crack on with the feasibility study that will allow the flood defences Leeds needs and deserves to be installed with all haste."
The £3m feasibility study mentioned by Coun Blake was approved by the council in April and is being funded by the Environment Agency.
It will look at the possibility of extending the soon-to-be completed £45m Leeds Flood Alleviation Scheme – which will initially cover the River Aire in the city centre and Holbeck – upstream to protect Kirkstall.
But if the extension does get the go-ahead, it could still be at least four years until it is actually put in place.
One man hoping there is no repeat of Boxing Day's events in the meantime is Alex Koi, who runs the FrameGame picture framing business off Kirkstall Road.
His premises were left under three feet of water, causing thousands of pounds of damage not covered by his insurance.
It took Mr Koi a month to reopen his business and he admitted: "If the same thing happened tomorrow, then it would be difficult to bounce back again."
Recalling the moment he first saw the havoc wreaked by the floods, Mr Koi said: "It was a bad time but you just get on with it, don't you? I didn't have any choice. My mates came down and cleaned up with me – it was hard work but we got there."
The support Mr Koi received from his friends was mirrored by the city-wide response to the YEP-backed Leeds Flood Appeal. Set up by the Leeds Community Foundation charity to help households, social enterprises and other groups, to date it has raised more than £300,000.
Leeds Community Foundation chief executive Sally-Anne Greenfield said: "We have been overwhelmed by the response from local people, as well as companies and individuals from across the country.
"People not only gave money to the appeal, but have offered their time to help with clean-up efforts across Leeds. We are very proud that we have been able to provide key support and grants to allow people to get back on their feet."

Oh, that look. The twitch. The shaky proclamation "you all think Christmas just HAPPENS, don't you?"
Even commercials poke fun at her, the run down vision of a mom who has visited 10 stores in pursuit of whatever toy her child requested, stayed up til 2 am wrapping gifts or baking 10 different kinds of cookies for some gathering or other.
It's a joke and we all know it - most of us can relate to feeling that way at some time during the holiday season. But beneath the laughter at it all, a still small voice inside me tells me to take a closer look.
It's Saturday and he's taken most of the kids out shopping. The baby naps and I clean and straighten decorations, preparing for company in the evening. And as I clean I begin to see the pride and perfectionism in it all. "Take them with you," I had said. "I can't get the house nice with them here." As if a home couldn't be Christmas-ready a midst childish mayhem.
Mamas, we don't "make" Christmas. We may feel like we do. We may think we do. We may even try to. "I just want to make this Christmas special." "I want to make great memories during the holidays." "I want to make my home beautiful for Christmas."
The truth is, the God of the universe did not elicit our help when He made Christmas. In fact, were we on the earth at the time, likely we wouldn't have even recognized it at all. He didn't need party planners and tinsel, flickering candles or perfectly coordinating family outfits to make Christmas happen. So why do we so often feel like we do?
"It just wouldn't be Christmas without (fill in the blank)."
Yes, it would.
God made Christmas by giving all of humanity a gift that we didn't even know we needed or wanted. He didn't wrap it in bright holly red and he didn't order it from Amazon. He made it. He didn't need us to make it special. He still doesn't.
I can't make Christmas any more than I can make reindeer fly. I can't make it by scrubbing my house extra bright or by playing Christmas music from dawn to dusk. I can't do it by decorating cookies with my little ones or surprising my husband with the perfect gift on Christmas morning.
God makes Christmas, and He offers us, even now, His Christmas gift: Peace. So why is it still so hard for us to accept?
Peace is lost in pursuit of perfection and I can't receive my heaping Christmas dose if I'm still convinced that I'm still the one who makes it all happen. Peace comes when I make space in my home and heart for Him and invite my little ones along on the journey - welcoming Christ's Christmas and letting everything else gently go.
This Advent, I'm praying to let go of pride and perfection and accept His gift of Peace.

Every once in awhile a movie comes along with a title that perfectly describes what it is. Such is the case with "Run," a mindless chase picture that boasts lots of well-done stunts but hasn't a brain in its head.
Patrick Dempsey, the young actor of such comedies as "In the Mood" and "Can't Buy Me Love," stars here as a Boston law student - and poker-playing whiz - who is hired to drive a Porsche to Atlantic City.When he has car trouble along the way, Dempsey stops in an unnamed city and takes in an illegal poker game in an underground casino. There, he tangles with the brutish son of the mobster who owns the joint. When the son is accidentally killed Dempsey finds himself on the run from the mobsters' henchmen, the city's corrupt cops and just about everyone else in town.
What follows is a nightmarish series of foot-chases, car crashes and narrow escapes that take Dempsey through a bowling alley, a hospital, a dog-race track, a shopping mall, etc. And some of the way he receives aid from the one person who wants to help him - a beautiful young woman, of course.
OK, we've seen it all before, but these kinds of movies can still be fun when they employ some cleverness. But "Run" tests audience patience with one dumb twist after another while trying to decide whether to be an outlandish slapstick comedy or a tension-filled thriller. The result is that it fails at both.
For example, there's the slapstick sequence when Dempsey is about to be thrown from a building and saves himself by grabbing hold of the pants of one of his assailants. The pants naturally rip, leaving the would-be killer in his underwear while Dempsey flails about, hanging from the ledge literally by a thread.
Then there's the gruesome moment when Dempsey is in a position to try and help a pair of cops who've been trying to kill him. One of the two seems to be a nice guy and we get hints that he may turn against his partner and help Dempsey. But instead both die a horrible death, after which Dempsey walks away and makes a flippant remark.
So what is this - Harold Lloyd or James Bond?
The movie can't decide and audiences are likely to give up guessing long before either of the above scenes come into play.
"Run" is rated R for violence, profanity and drug use.

November 16, 2005.
PR Newswire.
The American Council of the Blind and a group of individuals who are blind or have vision impairments today filed a class action lawsuit against the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA), alleging that the agency fails to provide the most basic accommodations to its blind applicants and beneficiaries.
Specifically, the SSA communicates with its hundreds of thousands of blind applicants and beneficiaries in standard print that they cannot read, and terminates benefits even if the blind applicant or beneficiary was never made aware of a problem with his or her benefits.
The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. "It is an outrage that SSA, the agency that should know more about disability than any other, sends critical information to blind and visually impaired beneficiaries in print only," states Arlene Mayerson, Directing Attorney of the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund, one of the attorneys representing the plaintiffs.
Also representing the SSA beneficiaries are the National Senior Citizens Law Center, the Oregon Advocacy Center, and pro bono counsel Heller Ehrman, LLP.
"More than 25 years after the passage of federal disability laws requiring that blind and visually impaired individuals receive material in 'alternative format,' the SSA still has no real viable, cost-effective, and equal alternative for communicating with its blind beneficiaries," said Wondie Russell, Heller Ehrman attorney. "Instead, the SSA continues to takes dire action-such as stopping or reducing benefits payments-without providing accessible notice.
Banks and public utilities provide blind and visually impaired individuals with information using alternative formats such as Braille, audiotape, and digital files that can be read aloud by computer software. The SSA has done little - or nothing - to assist its blind beneficiaries, despite numerous appeals," Russell added.
"Blind and visually impaired Americans face one of the highest unemployment rates of any sector of the population," explains Christopher Gray, President of the American Council of the Blind. "This places a large percentage of the blind and visually impaired in the position of being dependent on the Social Security Administration for the means to survive. Yet we cannot get them to recognize us as meaningful citizens with the same basic communications needs as everyone else," he says.
Plaintiffs in the lawsuit have been reduced to borrowing money from relatives, have gone into debt, or have gone without benefits as a result of SSA's failure to give them effective notice of its actions - they can suddenly receive reduced benefits, or no benefits at all, leading to extreme financial hardship.
"Imagine receiving a phone call from the bank that your checks are bouncing and fees are mounting," suggests American Council of the Blind Executive Director Melanie Brunson. "If you rely on automatic deposit of your benefits check, without notice in a format that you can read, deposits stop, setting off a chain of bounced checks, bank fees, and bad credit."
The National Eye Institute reports that blindness or low vision affects 3.3 million Americans age 40 or older, a figure expected to reach 5.5 million by the year 2020. In addition, there are 2.8 million people over the age of 70 who are blind or have low vision.
The most common causes of vision impairment in older Americans include age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy.
"Vision impairments are especially prevalent among the elderly, with almost a quarter of Americans over the age of 80 classified as blind or having low vision according to data published by the government's National Eye Institute," explains Gerald McIntyre, Directing Attorney of the National Senior Citizens Law Center. "In fact, people over the age of 80 account for 69 percent of all Americans who are blind."
Although SSA policy allows blind beneficiaries to request that critical notices be read to them over the phone, few beneficiaries have been notified of this option and those who choose it find it inconsistent, unreliable, and inadequate for understanding the complex information involved.
The class action suit demands that SSA offer correspondence and program materials in alternative formats to its beneficiaries, recipients, and representative payees with vision impairments.

The ONS has released its figures for Output in the Construction Industry January 2014 and New Orders Q4 2013. These figures show that the estimate of construction output in January 2014 has risen by 1.8% compared to December 2013; this increase includes a rise of 0.8% in new work and a larger rise of 3.5% in repair and maintenance.
These ONS figures also show that new orders in construction for Q4 2013 were 1.5% higher than Q3 2013. The figures are led by double digit growth in both public non-housing and private industrial, and a 7.2% increase in private new housing supported by the Help to Buy scheme.
Government figures show that in the first 11 months of the Help to Buy scheme up to February 2014, there were 16,465 homes bought through Help to Buy. The scheme has now been extended to 2020, just one of the announcements made in the 2014 budget that support construction.
The Nationwide House Price Index has reported that house prices increased by 0.4% in March 2014 making them 9.5% higher than March 2013, although still 3.0% below the peak in 2007. But the Halifax House Price Index reported a fall in house prices of 1.1% in the month of March 2014.
At the CIMCIG Chairman's debate last month most agreed that the recovery we are seeing is sustainable but all agreed that more can be done by government, associations and industry to drive the recovery on.

Business Coaching
In old days, there were no life coaches. In fact, business owners in The Dalles were forced to focus on the profit and the things which were required to run a business. Buy nowadays that scenario is changed and now business owners are focusing on return on investments, profits, customer value, and other goals. There are plenty of ways a business owner can improve their business but for the small or long-term success of the business, it required to get some feedback and consultation or coaching from the industry persons. By attending Business Coaching sessions, business owners can improve their business a lot. Below are the 3 ways through which business coaching can improve and deliver results in order to improve the business in a short term in The Dalles .
The Dalles Life Coach: Small Steps Can Lead To Success
It seems that everyone I meet these days wants to be a life coach. "My passion is to help people find their passion." "My purpose is to help people find their purpose." I hear this at many of the personal development retreats and career workshops I attend.
This is a noble and beautiful goal; to dedicate your life to empowering others to reach their full potential. In a world where 70% of Americans are disengaged with their jobs, and millions of people are depressed, unfulfilled, or addicted to prescription pain medication, we certainly need more coaches, enablers, and givers.
In 2012, the International Coach Federation (ICF) reported that life coaching is a $2 billion a year industry. Since there is wide disagreement on the value of professional coaching certification programs and many coaches don't pursue formal training, this number is probably higher.
The problem I have with life coaches is not their lack of certification or qualifications. I have many friends who lack formal training, yet are excellent coaches. Furthermore, I'm not sure anyone can be certified in something as broad as "life coaching," whether it's a 2-week, 2-month, or 2-year program.
The problem I have with some life coaches is that they sell their life, disguised as a coaching product. Perhaps a result of the growing popularity of the lifestyle design industry, these life coaches spend more time trying to live and sell a lifestyle that suits them, rather than investing in the service they are allegedly providing to others.
I see a lot of life coaches post photos on Instagram of themselves on the beach or at yoga retreats with captions like, "Live life full! Be free! #lovemylife" These pictures are in places like Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Bali — often at all-inclusive resorts or very pristine beaches. Usually the coaches are incredibly attractive people with tan skin who seemingly spend a lot of time at the gym or do yoga all the time (as in, like, every second of every day).
We should all strive to live a beautiful life (whatever that means for each of us), I'm just not sure the point is to sell that life. Depicting an idealized life that others should aspire to is dangerous. It misleads clients into thinking that their goal should be to emulate and idolize their all-knowing coach. It also misleads other coaches into adopting deceiving marketing practices and making false promises.
Here's the thing: you don't need to have a pristine life to be a coach. Coaching is about inquiry, asking the right questions, listening, empathy, and empowering someone to become their best self. I know many talented coaches whose life doesn't look that great on social media — some of these coaches aren't even on social media at all! They make a living because their clients recommend their services. They are talented coaches because they know how to coach, not because their life is perfect or they know how to run an auto drip campaign on MailChimp.
I don't do much 1-on-1 coaching, because personally, given my background and lack of coaching training, I think I can provide more value writing, speaking, and doing workshops, but when someone approaches me about hiring me as their career coach, I ask them why they want to work with me. If they say anything close to "your life is awesome, I want your life," I don't respond to their email. Don't get me wrong, my name is Smiley — I love my life. But it's my life. It's not intended to be someone else's.
Trust me, my life isn't for you. I have five roommates. My kitchen has a mice problem. My sink is constantly full of dishes. There are fruit flies everywhere. My bedroom is so small it barely fits my bed. I bring tea bags with me wherever I go to save the $3 (that adds up to like $60 a month!). I can't for the life of me find a moisturizing cream that keeps my hands moist — I've tried like seven different kinds. I can't drink coffee or alcohol anymore since I have really bad acid reflux. I love to do yoga but I fart a lot when I do it, so I can't go to class more than once a week. My back is already starting to hurt — and I'm only 31!
These are the kinds of things I spend my time thinking about — it's just not Instagram life coach worthy material. I can't post a picture of me wallowing in back pain with the caption, "Love my life! #lifeisamazing. Sign up for my 3-step plan to fulfillment now — it's only $495 — ahhhhh, my back!"
I refuse to sell some notion that my life is ideal or perfect — it's inauthentic and it's bullshit. I see some life coaches prancing around the beach and I'm like, "#Livefree?! You just quit your job! I know your ass is broke! Ahhhhh, my back!"
All of us (myself included) are sharing our highlight reels on social media, but I am immediately turned off by life coaches who make life seem easy or perfect in order to sell their product. These coaches give a bad reputation to talented coaches who have a tangible and valuable service to offer.
The coaches I know who make a living from coaching, don't spend their days at the beach. They are on video calls with clients, working with executives and senior managers in office buildings, meeting with students at universities, and running trainings at leadership development programs. They don't work 4 hours a week. They work 40 or 50 hours a week, sometimes more. Their life isn't perfect (no ones life is perfect), but they are still a great coach.
When we depict an idealized life others should aspire to, we ignore the fact that most people's lives are actually really complicated and nuanced. Most of the time, when people are "in flow," "coming alive," or "living with purpose," they are not at the beach or sipping a green smoothie or doing endless yoga or traveling in a foreign country, they are studying in a dimly-lit library at 1 in the morning, sweating in a noisy warehouse, or a managing a classroom full of restless children. Or, they are cooking dinner for their family.
The goal of coaching (and personal development work in general) should not be to get people to ignore these day-to-day rituals, but to find more personal meaning in all aspects of their life. It's not about escaping to the beach and posting a photo (#lovemylife!), it's about finding meaning, purpose, and joy in the day-to-day (and sometimes mundane) rituals that make up our lives.
We need more coaches. More business coaches, relationship coaches, career coaches, leadership coaches, communications coaches, and even more life coaches. But we need coaches who are honest about the services they are able to provide to their clients (and just as authentic about the services they are not qualified to offer).
By all means, design your ideal life and travel to exotic locations—just be conscious of what it is you're actually selling. I'm all for personal development retreats (even ones on the beach) that offer honest and practical solutions for navigating the complex and nuanced world we live in. I have participated in retreats that are extremely powerful; offering someone permission to be who they are, embrace their fears, overcome roadblocks and barriers, set new intentions, align work with purpose, integrate health and wellness into daily routines, and build a community of like-minded peers.
Life is not easy. There are no 3 simple steps to fulfillment or 10 ways to do anything. Happiness cannot be bought for $495 (or $4,095). There is not one answer and there is no quick fix, so let's stop selling one.

What are the Career Options after 10th in Science Stream?As an entrepreneur, you like to do your own thing. But going at it alone is not always the best idea. There comes a time when you need an expert opinion to ensure you and your business reach it's full potential. And that's where hiring a life coach or a business coach becomes a smart move. I've personally experienced the benefits of hiring a coach in my own business over the past year. Below are ten examples of how hiring a coach can make your business more successful. 1. Get Unstuck and Find Motivation Without a doubt the best thing a business coach can do for your business is get you unstuck. As a business owner, you can get in our own way a lot, and spend a lot of time in your head. So you need someone to pull you out of the funk. No matter how much self-motivation you might have, it seems nearly impossible to yourself to keep going. That outside push from a coach is what you need to get moving and get going. Even if it's a confirmation of what you were already thinking, a coach can give you that extra jolt you're looking for. 2. Challenge You to Try New Things As an introvert who runs an online business, I can very quickly become enthralled in my own ideas and goals. This is a comfortable place because you can stay at home in your office all day "creating" and leave the outside world where it is. If you're anything like me, you know how hard it is to step outside your comfort zone and meet new people or try new things. This is one of best things about having a coach on your side. They will give you a gentle push to explore yourself and your ideas more, while giving you that tough love not to quit. Everything we do in life is intertwined; our finances, our businesses and ourselves. For this reason I've worked with both a life coach and a business coach because I needed help getting over my mental and financial blocks. 3. Increase Your Creativity and Income Once I was able to get past my (often self-imposed) roadblocks, my creativity was unleashed and I was able to start brainstorming ideas for better products and services for my customers. A coach will give you the courage to get out of your own way, so you can charge what you're worth, start a line of products to make more money, or increase your prices. A coach also creates a safe place for you to hash out ideas, test theories and ensure you showcase your work properly. For many of us creatives, it's hard to brag on ourselves or share our accomplishments, but a coach will help you get past that insecurity. And once you get that ball rolling, it will be hard to stop you! 4. Find Support and Encouragement You'll be amazed at the things you can accomplish when you have someone who believes in what you're doing. Having a support system around you or hearing a few words of encouragement can lift your spirits when you're down. With everything going on around you, it can get overwhelming, frustrating and even lonely at times. A coach will be right there with you the whole time, helping you take that next step towards success. Of course, the point is to get to a place where you have all the tools in your toolbox to handle what life throws at you. But until you're ready, the encouragement you get from a coach might be just the thing you need to do your great work. 5. Identify Strengths and Weaknesses t's easy to think that we know ourselves really well, and understand our likes and dislikes. But when it comes to bringing out the hidden talents and deep desires, you'll likely surprise yourself. It often takes an outside perspective of someone who knows you really well, to tell it like it is. A coach can identify patterns, and help you exploit your strengths while bolstering your weaknesses. 6. Gain More Confidence You'll never truly know what you're capable of until you have someone who pushes you outside your comfort zone. After working with my own business coach for over a year, I've been able to build up a lot more confidence in my own ideas, thought process and even the way I approach my business. If you're like me, you know you have greatness within you but you aren't always sure if it's a good idea, or something that will get you rejected. It's hard to convince yourself that you have the ability to accomplish your business goals, and that's where having a coach is key. They can help instill the confidence you need to accomplish your big goals, while offering support and guidance for your (sometimes not so great) ideas. 7. Establish Audacious But Realistic Goals It's not difficult to set goals and create dreams and I'm sure you already have multiple ideas for your business listed out right now. But will you ever attain them? With a coach you can! And you better be sure you want to reach a goal because once you mention it, they won't let you make excuses for not trying. Most times they expect you to reach for the stars, because they can see your potential. As they challenge you to try new things, they will also strongly encourage you to think bigger, jump higher and really go for what you want. Audacious goals are the ones that scare us to death, but for an experienced coach they know it's closer within reach than you realize. Then once you reach those crazy goals you'll feel invincible and your confidence will skyrocket! 8. Prioritize Your (Business) Needs First As a business owner it's easy to put your customers, clients and even your family ahead of your own needs. This is especially evident as a solopreneur or freelance who single-handedly keeps the business going. A business coach will help you prioritize your business in a way that will enable it to be successful, without sacrificing the other parts of your life, including your mental and physical health. Additionally, you could even work with your coach to seamlessly integrate your work into your life. With the technology available today, you have no excuse not to take care of yourself so you can give the best to your business and those around you. 9. Be Accountable to Someone What did you accomplish this week? Are you making progress on your goals? These are standard questions at the beginning of each coaching session that will get you sweating if you haven't put in the work. A coach is a built-in accountability partner that nudges and reminds you of what you promised to do, and what you're working towards. It's all too easy to make promises to ourselves and then break them because we don't feel like it, or it's too hard. When you're accountable to someone else, you don't have that luxury. If you really want to accomplish your big goals and take your business to the next level, hiring a business coach is the right step. 10. Harness Your Ideas The entrepreneurial mind is a beautiful thing, but it comes with it's fair share of challenges. One of them being the fact that we have so many ideas, we don't know where to start. On the flip side, you might be clinging to an idea or direction a lot longer than you should. (Beating a dead horse and all.) Having a coach on your side will help you gain a fresh perspective so you can harness your ideas. They will also allow you to pivot directions if it's time to move on. A Coach is the Best Investment for Your Business Running a business alone is a tough thing, and I would say nearly impossible to do successfully. You generally need the support of friends, family and colleagues. But in my experience a coach is also a must. It's like having a best friend who also knows the ins-and-outs of the industry and can share trade secrets with you. They are a valuable resource you can count on and look to when you need guidance or even a friendly ear. Are you having a hard time closing new leads? Hire a coach to help you revamp your marketing campaign. You two can sit down together and hash out your process. Download a free proposal template and do it together; two minds are better than one. Hiring a life and business coach has single-handedly taken my business to the next level. And without that much-needed support, I would probably still be stuck at my day job, hating my life.

Setting Goals:
Being a visionary is required in a business and without vision, it is hard to survive in the industry. Business Coaching is a way through which business owners can learn to create a vision for a company. By creating a vision statement, employees, shareholders will know the objective and the direction of the business. Thus it'll ultimately help a business to set and achieve goals in time. So, it is the most important thing that a business owner will learn from the coaching sessions.
Accurate Pricing:
Sometimes business owners while deciding the pricing of their products or services and they use different tactics like discounts, free trials etc to attract a group of customers. But such tactics can be bad for their business process as per their vision and mission. By doing so, there may be negative impacts on the breakeven analysis of the business. Here a Business Coach can help a business owner with multiple business tools like Price Discount Calculator, Break Even Calculator etc. Such tools ensure that that the pricing and discount should be in accordance with the industry and the vision of the company.
Team Engagement and High Productivity:
High productivity in any business can be achieved only when it's employees will be engaged with each other. There should not be any loopholes in the work process and communication. Sometimes it takes too much effort to deliver high productivity due to lack of the engagement and enthusiasm in the workforce. Business Coach helps business owners to align the employees with the business goals through different engagement processes like Break Down Analysis, Weekly Operation Reviews etc.
To perform all the above-mentioned things is somewhat difficult for a business owner without getting coached by a business coach. Building a business plan, implement it and identifying new business opportunities are the few things which need a assistance from a business guru so that he can recommend necessary changes to make it more efficient. So if you find yourself or know anyone who is in a need of Business Coach in Oklahoma then do let me know in comments.

Edit: I'm knocking a star off of this because I'm not loving it as much as I thought I would. I do like the concept of an oil spray, however, I'm finding that it tends to give a concentrated burst of oil instead of an all over even mist. So it tends to look uneven throughout my hair and can make some sections look greasy. I tried holding the bottle back but then it goes all over the tile floor and makes it a slippery mess. So now I'm thinking the spray may not be the best application after all.
Very nice! And I love how easy it is to use, just spray it on lightly. I use it on the length of my hair, not near the roots. The first time I used it I thought I had overdone it and my hair looked greasy, but it soaked in within a couple minutes and made my hair look healthy.

I received this in a small sample and have repurchased the big bottle because I love it so much. I use this as a finishing spray to reduce frizz and add shine. I have fine curly hair and when my hair is 90% dry I spay a few time into my hand and gently add the product all over my head. This reduces frizz and finishes my everyday look. I've also used this on damp hair before I blow dry as a hair protectant and it works very well. It's worth every penny.

Amazing product. Works so well on my fine, damaged hair. I can use it on wet or dry hair and it never feels heavy or greasy. I feel like it really heals and protects my hair and it makes it look shiny and healthy. Love!

Best shine spray I've found ever since my HG Ojon one was discontinued. This doesn't weigh down my baby fine, color treated hair and imparts a beautiful glossy shine.

This stuff is horrible. Makes my hair oily, matte, stiff, dry. It's a very bad mix of mineral oil and silicones. Huge waste of money.

11/9/2015 update: I repurchased this after using up yet another bottle of my beloved ION Keratin Dry Oil mist. Why? Because I wanted to be fair and give a more thorough review.
This makes my hair soft without weighing it down. I appreciate that it has a bunch of natural oils yet doesn't make me look like a balding rat.
HOWEVER I feel the ION is still very close in formula/performance, but gives more slip than Alterna. That is definitely due to the fact the Alterna version isn't loaded with silicones. Ion does have quite a bit of silicones and my hair loves that.
Alterna's version is still WONDERFUL and I'm VERY thankful for there being another dry oil on the market. However this just isn't "holy grail" status.
Original review:
I'm not saying this is a bad product. I am however, saying, that the price is ridiculous and I was able to find an even BETTER quality dupe. If any of you love this dry oil, check out ION Keratin Dry Oil Mist from Sally Beauty Supply. ION is about $7. The consistency is lighter than Alterna's. If ION's dry oil disappeared off the market, I would settle and continue repurchasing Alterna's Bamboo Smooth "dry" Oil Mist as it is a close second best.
Either way I am just happy to see another dry oil on the market. I can not think of any hair type these would not work on. Dry oils are especially a miracle product for us gals with damaged fine hair as it is very moisturizing yet light in consistency.

My go to dry oil. This stuff is seriously Amazing. It has a strong clean floral feminine scent so beware of that if you have a sensitive nose. It works like magic when flat ironing my curly hair. Even though it might not look it, I have very fine/thinish curly hair that is rather easy to straighten and this stuff doesn't weigh it down at all. It leaves my hair feeling suuuuper soft with added shine and good movment. I also use it when I do up dos for added shine and when I wear my natural curls. This stuff is ace.

I have purchased this numerous times, and it has saved my hair. Countless times, I am done styling my hair and it looks dry and awful. One spritz, one section at a time, then a once-over with a flat iron, and my hair looks 1,000 times better. It doesn't make my hair look greasy or weigh it down.

This stuff is so expensive but with it! Leaves great shine and not heavy at all!! I've tried all sorts of oils and serums that only weighted my hair down. Great detangler when getting right out the shower and super for adding shine to dull hair in any style.

Amazing product that I finally had to get full size! It says for medium hair my hair is medium to thick, very prone to frizz, long, and loves moisture. I only need a small amount which shocks me and this makes my hair so shiny and smooth! I like the sprayer on this but the bottle is delicate so not super travel friendly IMO. I have the small bottles which, one could use for travel because this stuff is pretty amazing. I thought only Argan oil would work for my hair till I tried this. A few sprays on damp hair before I braid it and when I take it out my hair is smooth, wavy, and frizz free. It's also good for touch ups and does not make my hair greasy!
It's definitely on the pricey side but you do not need a lot. Even those with finer to thick hair could use this as a shine spray and/or frizz tamer. I like how it absorbs into the hair it doesn't feel like it sits on top of my hair. When I first used this months ago I wasn't expecting much but when it really made a difference. I knew I had to go full size because I didn't want to go without this! A little goes a long way too which rocks. This is a product I really would and do tell my friends to try, because it just makes my hair feel so lush and under control. It makes me want to get the shampoo and conditioner too. :) Recommended!

As of 2015, Bunn does not make a self-cleaning coffee maker. Bunn coffeemakers should be cleaned every three months to remove mineral deposits. Detailed cleaning instruction videos are available at Bunn.com.
Deep cleaning a Bunn coffeemaker involves placing a quart of vinegar into the brewer and allowing it to sit for at least two hours. Clean the sprayhead using a toothpick to remove mineral deposits, and use the deliming tool to loosen deposits in the sprayhead tube. Next, pour a full carafe of water into the brewer and allow the machine to brew to flush out the vinegar. Flush the coffeemaker with water at least three more times, or until the vinegar smell disappears.

With rock jukebox productions such as "Million Dollar Quartet" proving that there's money to be made translating pop music to the Broadway stage, maybe it's no surprise that Cher is working on a musical incorporating her songs into her life story.
While the singer's Twitter feed is the sort of wild and wooly place that could lead copy editors and casual fans of "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" into a cerebral infarction, Cher spoke of the musical as one of her ongoing projects amid a series of grammatical leaps. One tweet somewhat cryptically said, "Prods. R writing mucial now about my life with my music," and another added, "I'm help.2 write cause i was there & know stories that no1 knows but me! I hope it happens!"
The singer also described a structure that included three versions of herself, one up through the "Sonny & Cher" years, another up to her "Believe" tour in the '00s and a third in present day.
Cher admitted to having Broadway in mind in another tweet, in which she also cautioned, "IT'S A VERY SLOW PROCESS! been working on it quite a while now."

Finally! Guidelines for Email Sanity!
First, let me say that I have thought for years now that the word "email" was hyphenated. Apparently I was wrong. It's not the first time.
Now that I've go that off my chest, I was completely thrilled to hear a segment on "Q" featuring the co-author of The Email Charter: 10 Ways to Reverse the Email Spiral. Hallelujah! This exists!
|10 Rules to Reverse the Email Spiral
1. Respect Recipients' Time
This is the fundamental rule. As the message sender, the onus is on YOU to minimize the time your email will take to process. Even if it means taking more time at your end before sending.
2. Short or Slow is not Rude
Let's mutually agree to cut each other some slack. Given the email load we're all facing, it's OK if replies take a while coming and if they don't give detailed responses to all your questions. No one wants to come over as brusque, so please don't take it personally. We just want our lives back!
3. Celebrate Clarity
Start with a subject line that clearly labels the topic, and maybe includes a status category [Info], [Action], [Time Sens] [Low Priority]. Use crisp, muddle-free sentences. If the email has to be longer than five sentences, make sure the first provides the basic reason for writing. Avoid strange fonts and colors.
4. Quash Open-Ended Questions
It is asking a lot to send someone an email with four long paragraphs of turgid text followed by "Thoughts?". Even well-intended-but-open questions like "How can I help?" may not be that helpful. Email generosity requires simplifying, easy-to-answer questions. "Can I help best by a) calling b) visiting or c) staying right out of it?!"
5. Slash Surplus cc's
cc's are like mating bunnies. For every recipient you add, you are dramatically multiplying total response time. Not to be done lightly! When there are multiple recipients, please don't default to 'Reply All'. Maybe you only need to cc a couple of people on the original thread. Or none.
6. Tighten the Thread
Some emails depend for their meaning on context. Which means it's usually right to include the thread being responded to. But it's rare that a thread should extend to more than 3 emails. Before sending, cut what's not relevant. Or consider making a phone call instead.
7. Attack Attachments
Don't use graphics files as logos or signatures that appear as attachments. Time is wasted trying to see if there's something to open. Even worse is sending text as an attachment when it could have been included in the body of the email.
8. Give these Gifts: EOM NNTR
If your email message can be expressed in half a dozen words, just put it in the subject line, followed by EOM (= End of Message). This saves the recipient having to actually open the message. Ending a note with "No need to respond" or NNTR, is a wonderful act of generosity. Many acronyms confuse as much as help, but these two are golden and deserve wide adoption.
9. Cut Contentless Responses
You don't need to reply to every email, especially not those that are themselves clear responses. An email saying "Thanks for your note. I'm in." does not need you to reply "Great." That just cost someone another 30 seconds.
10. Disconnect!
If we all agreed to spend less time doing email, we'd all get less email! Consider calendaring half-days at work where you can't go online. Or a commitment to email-free weekends. Or an 'auto-response' that references this charter. And don't forget to smell the roses.
For some of you, this may not seem like anything close to an amazing epiphany. Perhaps you aren't on a Board and you don't receive up to 60 emails a day. But surely your mom or some other family member or friend sends you rambling, unorganized crap emails with all kinds of useless photos or "cute" attachments? What about those forwarded chain emails that claim 7 years bad luck if you don't forward it to 10 people within 15 minutes? (FYI, I have never once forwarded one of these and I have not had 7 years of bad luck. I did, however, promptly respond to the senders to these kinds of emails when I first started receiving them and I have not received one since. Victory!)
For me, this charter is somewhat life-changing. I just made the link my email signature (at least for now) and I especially hope that my fellow Board members click on it and it changes their habits as well. I admit, I need some practice with some of these and some of them are occasionally unavoidable (open ended questions), but I am making this the goal of my email writing.
No longer are we just dealing with junk mail via USPS, we are now dealing with excessive and unnecessary words and unwarranted responses which sucks the precious time out of our days and sucks the precious energy from our bodies and minds.
Read on, fair readers. Let's save ourselves from the Email Spiral!

I had a really good time with Mandy the other day. She took me around in her car and chased some bad guys, and we even pulled a guy over. That was pretty cool. I tell you what, her lights went on and BAM! that guy was on the curb SOOOO fast! It was insane. I love her to death! She's such a sweetie. She's taking me to dinner this Thursday with her boyfriend who is also a police officer, and her best friend! I am SO excited!!!

Caching of Database Access Objects's possible?
Palak Shah
Posts: 18
posted 10 years ago
I am working on a web application. I am using
for the presentation layer. Also I am using DAO
for Database layer.
My doubt is about creating instance of DAO's. I am created a DAO Factory which can create instances of DAO's. Whether I can go for caching of DAO or Do I have to create a new DAO for everytime? Would caching done as shown in the code below create Concurrency issues? or please suggest the right way of going about it.
My Struts Action code is as follows:
public class WelcomeAction extends Action { static Category log = Category.getInstance(WelcomeAction.class.getName()); public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { try{ UserDAO userDAO = (UserDAO)DAOFactory.getInstance("com.share.dao.UserDAO"); ResultObj obj = (ResultObj)userDAO.getUserList(); List userList = (ArrayList)obj.getResults(); request.setAttribute("userList", userList); }catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); return mapping.findForward("errorPage"); } return mapping.findForward("success"); }
UserDAO code is as follows:
public abstract class UserDAO extends BaseDAO { public Object getUserList() throws DBException{ Connection conn = null; PreparedStatement stmt = null; Object obj = null; try{ conn = DBConnectionManager.getConnection(); stmt = conn.prepareStatement("Select * from USER_INFO where USER_ID like ?"); stmt.setMaxRows(3); stmt.setString(1, "%"); stmt.executeQuery(); obj = processGetUserList(stmt); }catch(SQLException e){ throw new DBException(e.getMessage()); }finally{ DBConnectionManager.close(stmt); DBConnectionManager.closeConnection(conn); } return obj; }
And DAO Factory is as follows:
package com.share.dao; import java.util.HashMap; public class DAOFactory { private static HashMap hash = new HashMap(); public DAOFactory() { } public static BaseDAO getInstance(String daoName) { BaseDAO dao = null; try { dao = (BaseDAO)hash.get(daoName); if(dao == null) dao = createNewInstance(daoName); } catch(Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } return dao; } private static synchronized BaseDAO createNewInstance(String daoName) { BaseDAO dao = null; try { dao = (BaseDAO)hash.get(daoName); if(dao != null) return dao; Class daoClass = Class.forName(daoName + "Impl"); dao = (BaseDAO)daoClass.newInstance(); hash.put(daoName, dao); } catch(Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } return dao; } }

Why do you want to cache the DAO Objects? Your implementaion will work fine.
But your implementation of the DAO factory and Caching will not help solve the problem of concurrency. You have to handle concurrency in a different way.

I would like to cache so that it does not have to create new DAO for each database call. Any idea how to solve problem of concurrency? or it is better to create new DAO every time?

Caching DAO will only help you with saving the overhead of creating new Objects everytime and they being garbage collected.
If you want to handle concurrency you could do it in 2 ways.
1. Passimistic Locking - I would not recommend this method as it has lot of performance overhead.
2. Table Row Version Checking(Optimistic Concurrency Control) - Introduce a Version_number or TimeStamp Coulumn in your table. Get the version number before calling update. When updating compare the version number.
Hope this clears your doubt.

You should
not access a DAO from the
ontroller, i.e. Action class. Action classes should not contain business logic, but should only serve as a mediator between the
iew and the
Caching of data access objects in the Business tier is possible. Caching of data access objects in Presentation tier/Web server is poor design and should not be implemented.
You can cache DAO instances with a serialized POJO.
Read up on
design pattern. Struts is a framework for View and Controller parts only. Again for emphasis, no business logic in Action instances

I agree James... I need to add the business layer.. However the doubt is about the multiple
accessing the same method of DAO. Since I have only one instance of DAO, would multiple simultaneous calls to same method of a DAO (for different users) create a problem?
Please see my code above and let me know if it'll work!

>..doubt is about the multiple thread accessing the same method of DAO. Since I have only one instance of DAO.
Each thread should have its own set of data access objects. The issue above will create a potential bottleneck if you attempt to force the threads to use only one instance of DAO. This is not recommended.

Multiple Threads will call the same DAO object, putting syncronized in the method will put a bottleneck.
In an environment where you deploy this code in multiple server(like a clustered env) even syncronization will not guaranty avoiding the concurrency issue.

We had a beautiful day to travel up the Chesapeake to the Baltimore area. There were boats….EVERYWHERE. Between it being a beautiful Sunday and a holiday weekend the bay was full of sailboats, jet boats, fishing boats and cruisers…plus people actually doing a little work, like cargo ships and crabbers.
It's time for the next break in our cruising season. We're flying home this week to see family and friends. After a few weeks in Texas we'll help our oldest son and his family move to Pennsylvania. We'll spend a few weeks there helping out and exploring the countryside. We'll continue our trip north when we return the beginning of July. There are so many options on places to go, so stay turned to find out where we'll go from here.

This must have been a great place to catch fish, because there were a lot of people there

Case Study: Fish and BO were diligent photocopiers in whole of 1st year. Then they just realised that efficiency is THE thing to consider, so they just waited until at least one other person got almost all photocopies and they'd just ask them for their consolidated set and photocopy it with much glee. So much time saved. Opportunity cost. Whee.
RULE 2: Lose all shame. Do NOT feel like and obliged while asking someone for their photocopies. Gratitude, yes. Of course. But don't feel bad about the fact that you're asking. Everybody does it. It's a norm, a custom now. The way you're giving back to the pool is by photocopying from the original source at times and letting others borrow from you. Well, dear old Fish is rather extremely enthu this trimester and has been super efficient in getting tons of photocopies so she's earning joint karma for both of us (hee hee).
Case Study: It's been tough, this rule, but both of us are trying hard. Fish has been supremely efficient this trimester in procuring photocopies. I get a couple at times, but not too much.
RULE 3: Keep an eye out. If you're at Swathi (which is the local stationery place where EVERYONE gets their stuff photocopied), look at who is getting one. Get a copy for yourself! Jump in the bandwagon!
Case Study: So Fish and I are at Swathi. We see X photocopying ABCDEFGH. We say "2 copies for us as well please!" Voila! This is really the easiest of the rules. Therefore, frequent visits to Swathi is a must.
RULE 4: Do not hesitate from asking seniors for their stuff. Be shameless. Be ruthless. BADGER seniors into giving you their photocopies. Fish and I used to find it EXTREMELY hard to follow this one because, really now, it's quite a pain running after people and randomly asking them for their stuff when you haven't even spoken to them in ages but then after doing it like TEN times this trimester, I think I should do it more often because most of them are so sweet about it. Plus, they get to get rid of their material, but MOST importantly, they're usually very generous and you feel like a queen because you've saved some time, energy and cash. Plus, some of this stuff comes HIGHLIGHTED which is an added bonus :)
Case Study: This one's a bit of a toughie for Fish, but I've aced it. Hee. So amongst people WE, i.e. people on this blog, know, we (i.e. Fish and I) successfully procured Purple's stuff, even though we'd gotten it longggg back. We also got tons of other stuff so I felt super efficient etc. because I was always like this woman on a mission, texting away to glory.
I THINK that's about it.
P.S.: I need expert help with template, again! *hint, hint*

A successful plastic surgeon's life is thrown into chaos when a mysterious masked patient appears in her office and makes an unusual request in this horrific tale from notorious All Night Long director Katsuya Matsumura. Yoko Noguchi's skills with a scalpel are nothing short of spectacular, and as a result of her talent and her remarkable beauty, the young plastic surgeon's clinic is thriving. When a woman named Yoshie shows up at the clinic after hours with her face obscured and a plea for the doctor to make her face resemble Yoko's, the reluctant doctor reluctantly agrees after being presented with a cash payment that far exceeds her usual fee. Though the surgery is a success and Yoko assumes that is that last she will be seeing of her secretive look-a-like, Yoshie returns soon after to demand yet another operation, marking the beginning of a terrifying cycle that will soon drive the once-successful doctor to the edge of sanity and send her life and career careening towards a devastating climax.

Three brings back their fantastic roaming dealWednesday, September 18th, 2013
Three UK have brought back their fantastic roaming deal; a lot of people were upset when they dropped their "3 Like Home" roaming deal a few years back, but the new "Feel at Home" deal actually has some pretty good terms attached to it. As before, the deals only apply to countries where Three already have a sister network, though the deal will apply whether you are actually roaming onto the Three network or not.
Firstly, the list of countries:
- Australia
- Italy
- Denmark
- Austria
- Sweden
- Hong Kong
- Republic of Ireland
What is different, however, is that it now applies to most customers and tariffs, whether you have a phone contract, PAYG SIM, 3g dongle, or even some business contracts.
So, if you had 5000 texts to send per month in the UK, you can still send 5000 texts whilst roaming without any additional charge. Also, if you have 3UK–3UK minutes, these can additionally used to ring 3 customers in the country you are roaming in. There are a few minor exceptions to this deal (eg certain numbers, such as premium numbers starting 09 would be excluded in the UK, and are still excluded when abroad), and you should check the terms before travelling (especially if you are a PAYG user, as more restrictions apply). You should also still study the remaining roaming charges (eg receiving calls from international numbers).
I should add though, that although data is included in this deal, there are a few limitations to data usage that you need to be aware of: firstly, tethering is NOT included at all, there is a 25Gb limit per month, and data speeds may be slower than the UK.
In fact, Three UK point out that should you exceed 25Gb of data, 5000 texts or 3000 minutes per month in any two months within a year, they may block the service. I doubt the text or minute limit will be a major problem, but if you assume you are limited to just under 1Gb of data a day (which is still a lot of data!) you should be fine. Obviously services such as Netflix could easily exceed that usage, so you do need to think carefully about data usage, but it's still way more than the other UK networks currently offer.
If you want more information, especially around those restrictions, head to this page on the Three UK website for more information.

Are we more than biological accidents with meaningless lives bounded
by the cradle and the grave? Dr. David Fontana, a professor
of psychology in England and Wales, believes we are, explaining why in
his latest book, Is There an Afterlife?
"Unless one rejects the possibility of
survival on doctrinaire grounds, the evidence is very strong," Fontana
wrote in a recent e-mail interview from his home in Cardiff, Wales,
adding that survival provides a much better explanation than does the
super ESP hypothesis, which goes beyond simple telepathy and holds that
mediums receive information from minds of people elsewhere or even
clairvoyantly from the environment, perhaps even gathering information
"I very much doubt if those who
support this theory have spent 30 years investigating, at first hand,
the evidence for survival," Fontana went on. "If they had, it is
doubtful they would continue to support the notion that everything comes
from telepathy or clairvoyance by the living. The idea that the
results obtained by ITC (instrumental transcommunication) can be
explained by psycho-kinesis from the living would be laughable were it
not so tragically misleading."
In his
496-page book, Fontana deals extensively with the super ESP hypothesis,
as well as the "psychic reservoir" hypothesis, which suggests that there
is some kind of cosmic computer which mediums can tap into and
then give immediate feedback with all the peculiar personality traits of
deceased humans. He points out that even if these hypotheses could
be shown to be true, it would not destroy the case for survival.
In fact, they might support the survival hypothesis by showing that the
mind can operate outside time and space.
past president of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), Fontana
currently serves as life vice-president and foundation chairman of the
Society's survival research committee. He is a fellow and former council
member of the British Psychological Society and has published more than
100 scientific papers and some 30 books, which together have been
translated into 26 languages.
"I cannot
remember a time when I was not interested," Fontana replied to the
question of when and why he first became interested in psychical
research. "As a small boy the intrinsic mystery of life fascinated
me, and when I learned, around the age of 11, that there is a society
that exists to conduct this research (the SPR) my interest was further
stimulated. As a postgraduate at Cambridge, I had access to even
more of the extensive literature on the subject, and when I became a
member of the SPR my own research activities took off."
Fontana disagrees when it is suggested that the quality of mediumship
today is not what it was 100 or so years ago. "I have worked with
many good mediums," he explained. "Diana and Alan Bartlett at Scole were
excellent, and I have also seen very good physical phenomena when
sitting with Stewart Alexander and with Colin Fry and with 'Danesh.' I
have had sittings with many good mental mediums, particularly Leonard
Young, Mavis Patella, and Doris Smith." He also mentioned Mallory
Sendall, Mary Armour, Gordon Smith, and Craig Hamilton-Parker as being
exceptional mediums.
He added that he has
heard very good direct-voice phenomena with a number of physical
mediums. "People have less time these days to develop their
gifts," he opined, "but those who do develop them certainly keep up
with the tradition of good mediumship."
The Scole investigation stands out as perhaps the highlight of Fontana's
30 years of research to date. While "The Scole Report,"
co-authored by Fontana with now-deceased researchers Montague Keen and
Professor Arthur Ellison, provides abundant detail of the amazing
phenomena they witnessed, Fontana devotes 27 pages of his latest book to
his experiences during the many séances he and the others attended in
the small English town of Scole. Both physical and
mental phenomena were produced by the "spirit team" from another
dimension. The phenomena usually began with so-called "spirit lights."
These lights appeared to have a substantial form and would land on the
table in front of them, sometimes in their hands, allowing for an
Hands frequently
materialized in Scole. On one occasion Fontana was addressed by
what appeared to be an independent voice, speaking clearly from just
above and in front of him. A number of apports were produced,
including a pristine copy of the Daily Mail of April 1, 1944, reporting
on the trial of medium Helen Duncan. The fact that the paper showed no
signs of aging created some suspicion that it was a modern facsimile,
but an analysis of the paper revealed that it was in fact printed by the
old-fashioned letterpress method used in 1944 and that the paper was
from the same time period. Of special interest to the group were
photographs made by the spirit team on unexposed film brought by the
The difficulty in writing about the
Scole phenomena, Fontana related, is in making them sound believable.
He said that to speak or write of the phenomena is to risk being met
with disbelief, even hostility. "It is to experience something of
the ridicule experienced by great men of the past, such as Sir William
Crookes when he published his findings with (Daniel D.) Home and with
Florence Cook," he states in the book. "Inevitably one becomes
tempted to remain silent…" He concludes that the laws of material
science, as we understand them, simply do not operate in these cases.
Speaking of Crookes and other distinguished researchers, such as
Frederic W. H. Myers, Sir Oliver Lodge, Sir William Barrett, and Dr.
James Hyslop, to name just a few from a century ago, Fontana takes
issue with a comment that the works of these researchers of yesteryear
have been pretty much forgotten. "Among those who take an interest
in the subject, their work is still keenly studied," he countered.
"I am not sure we have people working in the area today who compare with
them in intellect, rigour, and the ability to use the English language
as it should be used. The best-sellers these days tend to be on
the so-called 'New Age' topics. Perhaps the general public does
not have the time today to read the scholarly writings of these men.
More is the pity."
Working with Dr. Annable
Cardoso of Spain, Fontana is currently focusing on ITC. "It
provides first class evidence for survival," he explained. "One of the
many great strengths of ITC is that we can carefully control the
conditions under which the communications are received and thus rule out
the possibility of normal explanations for the phenomena. Another great
strength is that we can now acoustically analyse the voices received,
and results indicate that they lack some of the characteristics of human
speech. This provides further powerful evidence for their
paranormality and for their support for the survival explanation."
Fontana says that the reason we do not yet have absolute proof of
survival is perhaps due to the probability that if there were such
proof, there would no longer be a reason for the personal search and for
the inner development that is a product of that search.

rosemary [ultimately from Lat.,=dew of the sea], widely cultivated evergreen and shrubby perennial ( Rosmarinus officinalis ) of the family Labiatae ( mint family), fairly hardy and native to the Mediterranean region. It has small light-blue flowers. The aromatic leaves, whitish beneath, are used for seasoning, and the oil is used in perfume and medicine. From ancient times rosemary has been regarded as a token of constancy and remembrance. In Hamlet (iv:5) Ophelia says,
There's rosemary, that's for remembrance.There is a prostrate variety. Rosemary is classified in the division Magnoliophyta , class Magnoliopsida, order Lamiales, family Labiatae.

*Prince's free album giveaway via newspapers in Europe has led to an international bidding frenzy that has the product selling for more than $20 a pop on the Internet – exactly what the purple one was trying to avoid.
The singer struck deals with several newspapers throughout Europe to give away his new "20Ten" CD as an insert. He insisted it was the right move to circumvent internet piracy and would cause him "no stress."
But hundreds of copies have gone on sale at various Web sites, attracting bids of more than $20.
One star who won't be bidding on the record is Elton John – the Daily Mirror, which offered the CD last week, ordered five copies of the paper to be sent to his home by courier on Saturday to ensure he got hold of the album.

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN") proposed a rule on August 25, 2015 requiring certain investment advisers to establish anti-money laundering programs and report suspicious activity to FinCEN. FinCEN also proposed to include investment advisers in the definition of "financial institution," which, among other things, would require them to file Currency Transaction Reports ("CTRs") and keep records relating to the transmittal of funds.
FinCEN noted that:
- Requiring investment advisers to establish AML programs and file reports of suspicious activity would bring them under similar regulations as other financial institutions such as mutual funds, broker-dealers in securities, banks, and insurance companies; and
- Requiring investment advisers to file CTRs and comply with recordkeeping requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act may also deter illicit actors from using them as conduits.
FinCEN would delegate its authority to examine investment advisers for compliance with these requirements to the SEC. The proposal would apply to investment advisers that are required to be registered with the SEC.
Attached is a link to the proposing release. We will provide a more detailed analysis of the rule proposal shortly.

Postponing repayment on federal student loans is possible through a number of deferment and forbearance options. These programs are available if you meet certain conditions. Most federal loans also have grace periods so that you don't have to start repayment right away.
Both deferment and forbearances options allow you to postpone payments usually for a year, sometimes longer. The advantage to deferments is that interest does not accrue on subsidized loans while you are in a qualified deferment period. You can get a deferment in most cases while you are still in school. Once you are out of school, you must meet the criteria for the limited number of deferments. These include deferments for unemployed borrowers and for certain borrowers facing economic hardship. Forbearances are more flexible, but be advised that interest will accrue during deferment periods on unsubsidized loans and during forbearance periods. If you can afford it, you should consider making interest-only payments during periods of forbearance or deferments on unsubsidized loans. This does not reduce the principal balance, but it does prevent the balance from growing during the postponement period.
Postponing repayment may be a helpful option, particularly if you don't expect your financial distress to last long. You should be wary, however, if your servicer tells you that forbearances or deferments are your only options. You should consider the full range of other possibilities, including flexible repayment. It is a good idea to review these tips for dealing with your loan servicer.Grace Periods Deferments Forbearance

I'm not someone who ever got caught up in the hype of mousse eye shadows. Lots of brands came up with different variations of the so called cult-favourite formulation in eye shadows till date. I wasn't still sold or tempted to try out any single one of them. The reason? I despise the dated, uber opaque, metallic finish that they leave on the lids. Almost a kind of mist of frost on top that I cannot stand for the life of me.
When I came across these newbies, the thought of them being similar to popular brands slightly saddened me hence I chose wearable colours as that way I'd at least get some wear out of them regardless of their texture and finish. To my surprise, these are a make-up artists delight. Not bridal make-up artists for that matter for runway makeup artists who are always creating that glossy, dewy eye with translucent pigment and a lived in look.
It's not the best when it comes to longevity, not bad but no 10 hour stay and all that jazz. That doesn't bother me however as I really don't mind straightening a few creases here and there. One thing I've learnt when it comes to make-up is that, cream formulations will crease no matter what. The sooner you accept the fact, the sooner you'll stop blaming your wrinkles for the problem.
Coming back to it's gorgeous texture, it's not your typical bouncy mousse. It's something different. More like if MAC Face & Body or Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation had a coloured sibling smooshed up in a little glass container with pigment shot through it. It's silky, waxy texture that's pigmented yet translucent, never fails to amaze me.
It looks gorgeous on the eyes. Slap it on with fingers if in hurry or pull out your fluffy white blending brushes and buff this fabulousness onto the lids for more longevity. The finish of it is pigmented, glossy with a hint of skin showing through and some shimmery particles sprinkled here and there. Tres chic! If you're like me and are looking for wearable, everyday cream eye shadows that don't glue to your lids like adhesive, then you need to give this contemporary concoction a go!
Available for £11 a pop in an array or runway ready shades, they will not disappoint the sophisticat. My top pics are Ecru Land, a minty pastel green and Caramel Candy, a terracotta burnt orange.
