Reduce wasted bandwidth by controlling what applications are used and for what purpose
A critical element of our NGFW is the ability to intelligently and strategically filter network traffic, internal as well as external. Employees using bandwidth for social media or insecure websites create a wide range of problems from performance reduction to risk exposure (illegally downloaded copyright material, dark torrent site visits).
From online gambling and gaming to social media, it's important for companies to enforce Internet usage policies for both productivity reasons as well as to help employees avoid various addictions.
Reduce wasted bandwidth by controlling what applications are used and for what purpose
Ensure that applications used and web sites visited are business related and less likely to contain viruses and other malicious content
Minimize time spent on non-business related activities (1 employee X 1 hour per day across an org= $ lost) that use corporate Internet resources
Optimal use of resources, technical and human, is essential to productivity and the performance of your organization.
With Clavister you get the tools and capabilities to ensure that your internet connection isn't clogged with torrent downloads or productivity drops because of distractions from social media, games and such.
As an added bonus you reduce the risk of getting infected by nasty ransomware, viruses and other vicious things.
Simply put, Clavister Internet Usage Optimization provides the tools for greater productivity, fewer security incidents and that mission critical business applications have the necessary internet capacity.
Clavister Application Control (AC) provides an effective way to identify and manage how applications are used in the network regardless of port and protocol used. The need to control how applications behave in the network regardless of ports and protocol grows exponentially when more applications runs over the same Web-ports (80/443, HTTP/HTTP) and evades normal port based firewall policies.
Clavister WCF supports Dynamic Content Filtering of Web traffic, a fully automated function (discarding the need to manually block URL addresses) that Clavister maintains using a global infrastructure of databases. These contain a massive number of current Web site URL addresses, grouped into a variety of categories such as shopping; news; sport; adult-oriented; etc. These databases are updated every hour with new, categorized URL addresses while at the same time older, invalid URL addresses are dropped. The database content is global, covering websites in many different languages, hosted in countries around the world.
The User Identity Awareness and Application Control functionality provides an extremely powerful and versatile tool for highly granular visibility and control of "who-does-what-and-when" in their networks. You'll have the ability to pinpoint user access to applications across both wired and wireless networks, regardless of connecting device.
Another benefit with User Identity Awareness is that its reports and log information can be correlated and turned into actionable intelligence, answering questions like who's wasting the most bandwidth, who spends the most time on non-business related web-browsing, which user has the highest risk-profile and similar questions.
Completely blocking all non-business related applications and websites might create dissatisfaction among users who want to do their bank errands from work, visit social media every now and then and other reasonable behaviors. A good way of balancing security risks, productivity and employee satisfaction is to apply different policies during work hours, lunch breaks and after-work hours. Clavister supports advanced policy schedules that makes this balancing easy and efficient.
Performance for business critical apps will improve as less resources are being used for non-business related activities. In many scenarios as much as 80% of bandwidth usage can be saved by implementing Clavister's Internet Usage Optimization features.
Identify problematic and risk prone users into actionable intelligence that can be used to achieve better overall online behaviour.
Ensure that internet usage policies becomes well known and enforced in the organization. Achieve accountability through user-friendly guidance about appropriate browsing and network usage behaviour, in turn reducing stress for employees.
Drastically reduce the risk of security breaches and viruses and worms making their way into the network due to users visiting potentially malicious websites or using applications that evade normal firewalls. Achieve compliance by being able to keep track of how data is flowing in and out of the company network.


text: The Indiana All-Stars have proven they can turn it on when they have to. Coach Julie Shelton just hopes Saturday they decide to do it a little sooner. The highly-talented, yet slow-starting All-Stars go for the sweep against Kentucky. The girls, who won 71-64 last Saturday thanks to a strong final seven minutes, host the second of the two games at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. "Our slow starts is a concern,'' admitted Shelton in a phone interview Thursday. "It would be nice to get off to a strong start. "These girls do seem to flip it on when they need to. There's another level they can go to. But I do expect us to put it together Saturday.'' The All-Stars showed just how quickly they can get it going Tuesday. The Junior All-Stars led 38-28 at half-time of an exhibition game at Valparaiso University before the All-Stars stormed back for an 84-67 victory. The All-Stars used pressure defense, led by lightning-quick FahKara Malone, to ignite what had been a sluggish and uninspired effort until the final half. "It starts with the defensive end,'' said former St. Joe star Melissa Lechlitner after the exhibition win. "Everyone on this team wants to score, but defense leads to easy baskets and gets us going. It gets us in the right mindset.'' Lechlitner, who will play at Notre Dame next season, has been a steadying force, posting 11 points in the win at Kentucky in the first game. "Melissa is just a great player,'' said Shelton. "She's a good floor leader and has made good decisions for us. She is hard on herself as a player and that's a good thing for a coach.'' Lechlitner also hopes that her team brings its best from the opening tip Saturday. "We need to send a message from the start Saturday,'' said Lechlitner. "We have to come out and play well right from the get go.'' The Indiana backcourt will be a big key Saturday. In addition to Lechlitner, the runner-up for Miss Basketball, the All-Stars count on Pike grad Ashley Barlow. The explosive Barlow, who will join Lechlitner at Notre Dame, led Indiana in its win at Kentucky with 23 points and 12 rebounds. Dee Dee Jernigan of East Chicago Central scored 12 points in the first game. "I think our kids are confident,'' Shelton said. "Winning both games is very important to us. The first game wasn't easy and we expect another tough game Saturday. "We need to rebound better and use our defense to get our transition game going. That's when we play better.'' Kentucky, which trails in the girls series 33-28, will try to rely on its size advantage. The Bluegrass state All-Stars count on Meredith Marsh, Chelsea Lymon, Amber Norton and Miss Basketball Arnika Brown. Marsh, who led Kentucky with 15 points in the first game, and Norton will both play at Vanderbilt and Lymon at Middle Tennessee State.

How can a payroll service help you to hire a paid carer?
Hiring a paid carer for yourself or a relative is a great way to ensure that you have the right person for the job, as well as the flexibility to determine what tasks need doing, at what times and how much it will cost. We have a detailed guide on how to hire a paid carer on the website, and one of those points is to know your responsibilities as an employer, especially when it comes to arranging payment and making the necessary deductions for tax and National Insurance.
It is this financial side of things that can put many people off of hiring a paid carer, choosing to use an agency instead so that the agency is responsible for payment and deductions. This is a good solution for many people, but it does mean that you lose some control over the care that you receive – you might find the carers that are sent have a limited time before their next appointment or that it's not the same person every time.
Using a payroll service can be a good solution. This means that you can still be an employer with all the benefits that come with it, but they will do all of the calculations and liaising with HMRC on your behalf so you don't have to worry about money matters.
How does a payroll service work?
A payroll service will help you to register as an employer with HMRC and will then act on your behalf to ensure that the relevant payments and deductions are made. You will supply details of your paid carer, including their personal information, the amount you are going to pay them, and how often you are going to pay them. At the end of the pay period, be that a week, four weeks or a month, you supply a timesheet to the payroll company which details the hours that your employee has worked (and any holiday/sickness taken). The payroll service will calculate how much you owe to the paid carer and how much is owed to HMRC, then they will issue a pay slip for your employee with all the details on. All you have to do is transfer the money. The payroll service will also supply P60s and P45s as needed.
What does it cost?
Of course, using a payroll service costs money, so you need to offset the amount against the benefits that it brings to you in terms of reduced administration. There are various payroll companies out there, and You're the Boss offers a dedicated payroll service for employers of paid carers. It costs £10 to set up a new payroll per employee, and then £8 per payslip issued. As a guide, if you had one paid carer in your employ and you paid them on a monthly basis, then it would cost you a total of £127.20 for a year. You can find out more about costs and our payroll service here.

Steve Marriott is one of the British music scene's greatest vocalists. Midnight of My Life is a poignant study of talent, ageing and what success means.
It's July 1985 and while Rock and Roll's great and good are strutting their stuff at Wembley, Steve Marriott is propping up the bar of a dingy pub in Putney waiting to play to a small crowd of boozers. While he waits for the rest of his band, bitter and drunk, an encounter with a young revival Mod restores Steve's faith.

Five Vine videos teasing the anticipated trailer for "Game Of Thrones" season 4 were released on Friday, Jan. 10.
A day earlier, the premiere date for the fourth season of the popular HBO fantasy-adventure series was announced -- the show will return on April 6. The trailer is set to be released on Sunday, Jan. 12, at 8:58 p.m. ET, before the debut of the cable channel's new series, "True Detective."
Watch the 5 Vine trailer teasers below. They show characters such as Daenerys, mother of dragons (played by Emilia Clarke -- she is wearing a gorgeous two-toned blue gown and looking pensive), Jon Snow (who is played by Kit Harington -- he is seen wielding a sword in a battle and still probably knows nothing) and Tyrion (played by Peter Dinklage -- he is seen in shackles!)
UPDATE: The "Game Of Thrones" season 4 trailer is here! Watch it now.

The Explorers Club cordially invites you to screening of WATERSHED, a new film executive produced and narrated by Robert Redford, and produced by his son, James Redford, The Redford Center and Kontent Films. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Mark Decena.
WATHERSHED explores a new potential ethic for water-stressed areas of the American West. In order to raise awareness of the crisis Redford teamed with his son James to produce an environmental documentary focused on the plight of the Colorado River system.
"The watershed issue is something that's happening all over the world, where the need for water is greater than the amount of water to provide for it," said Redford; "We're picking the Colorado River as an example of what's going on with watersheds all over the world."
Spanning over 1,400 miles, the Colorado River travels through seven U.S. states, serving some 40 million people in and around the watershed. While the flow ends in the Gulf of California, most of the water never makes it that far due to demands from irrigation, reservoirs and municipal use. The population in the region is expected to reach 50 million by 2050 and with temperatures rising and precipitation patterns becoming more erratic, demand will inevitably outpace supply in region.
Can we meet the needs of a growing population in the face of rising temperatures and lower rainfall in an already arid land? Can we find harmony among the competing interests of cities, agriculture, industry, recreation, wildlife, and indigenous communities with rights to the water?

text: http://financial.seekingalpha.com/article/25527 Instability in Global Financial Markets May Trigger Repricing of Assets Posted on Jan 30th, 2007 Michael Panzner submits: In "Prepare for Asset Repricing, Warns Trichet," the Financial Times' Gillian Tett describes what seems to be a quickening sense of alarm among some policymakers. Current conditions in global financial markets look potentially "unstable", suggesting that investors need to prepare themselves for a significant "repricing" of some assets, Jean-Claude Trichet, president of the European Central Bank, warned at the weekend in Davos. The recent explosion of structured financial products and derivatives had made it more difficult for regulators and investors to judge the current risks in the financial system, Mr Trichet said. "We are currently seeing elements in global financial markets which are not necessarily stable," he said, pointing to the "low level of rates, spreads and risk premiums" as factors that could trigger a repricing. "There is now such creativity of new and very sophisticated financial instruments . . . that we don't know fully where the risks are located," he added. "We are trying to understand what is going on - but it is a big, big challenge."... Malcolm Knight, managing director of the Bank for International Settlements, said: "Financial innovation has produced vehicles for leverage which are very hard to measure . . . liquidity is increasing very rapidly and this is affecting asset prices." Central banks were scrambling to address the problem by intensifying their joint discussions via forums linked to the BIS, he said, but he warned that international co-operation and data gathering efforts "need to be deepened". A few have even started voicing once unthinkable concerns about who will clean up the mess if and when policymakers' worst fears are realized. Stanley Fisher, governor of Israel's central bank, pointed out that it remained unclear "who takes responsibility for the [financial] system" at a time of crisis, particularly given that the "hegemony of the US is diminishing". Given all the warnings coming out of Davos recently, some might be wondering how things had gotten to this point to begin with. While there have been a number of interconnecting factors involved, yesterday's Wall Street Journal addressed at least one key driver: "The Greed-Fear Imbalance." The smart money knows today's liquidity-inflated financial markets are full of risk. That was clear from the chatter at last week's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Yet private-equity firms, hedge funds and investment banks are acting as if the good times will continue. Skewed incentives, which pump up greed and damp fear, explain the discrepancy. Fortunes will be made if the good times roll on; but the insiders won't lose much if there is a crash because they are mostly playing with other people's money.... The main way to get seriously rich quickly these days is to play the hedge-fund or private-equity game. The incentive system -- the notorious "2 and 20" under which managers get some 2% of funds under management as an annual fee and 20% of the profits -- favors those who can scoop up the biggest pots of other people's money. The primary aim has become to gather assets rather than to deploy them effectively. That's not to say the smart money likes to make bad investments. But when things go pear-shaped -- as with Amaranth Advisors -- the managers don't share in the losses or give back past takings. In a well-functioning market, greed and fear are appropriately balanced. The "heads-I-win, tails-you-lose" structures rife today have distorted the balance.... The smart operators are aware the party can't go on forever. But the longer it continues, the more money they will make. What's more, there is no obvious reason why it has to end now. There may be kindling on the forest floor, but where is the spark that is going to ignite it? The snag, of course, is that as time passes, more brushwood accumulates. When the conflagration comes, it could be dramatic. An understatement, perhaps?

Stop trying to get me to kill my children and start helping me create a life for them.
Why is the message of the rich first world to the poor third world never, "Let me help you" and always, "Just enough of me, way too much of you"?
Here is what Africans need, if you actually ask an African and not simply a rich busybody trying to control the breeding swarms of untermenschen:
We need:
– Good healthcare systems (especially prenatal, neonatal and pediatric care).
Needless to say that postpartum and neonatal deaths are alarmingly high in many Sub-Saharan African countries. This is due to the paucity of specialized medical personnel, equipment and systems. Women are not dying because they are having "too many" babies but because they are not getting even the most basic postpartum care. A childbirth or labor complication can very easily be fatal, for both mother and baby. To alleviate this problem new, well-equipped and well-staffed birthing centers with neonatal units need to be built in easily accessible parts of the poorest communities. And if Melinda Gates really insists on reducing population, she can have highly trained Natural Family Planning (NFP) instructors strategically placed in these women's healthcare facilities. At least then there would be a natural and holistic approach.
– Food programs for young children.
This would serve a two-fold purpose if it is incorporated into free or highly subsidized nursery school programs. It would nourish and strengthen the growth of these children, who are so, so vulnerable to malnutrition, and it would also serve to encourage parents to bring their youngsters, ages 3 or 4, to nursery school. In so many parts of Africa, children miss out on nursery school education because it is expensive and considered a luxury reserved for the rich and middle class. As a result, the children miss the first few crucial years when basic math and reading are easily learned. By the time they are considered "ready" for school, at age 7 or 8, they struggle academically. Many of them never quite catch up and so drop out after six or seven years. This is when a lot of young girls are married off as mid- to late-teenage wives who unfortunately would become the perfect recipient of the Melinda Gates comprehensive contraceptive care!
– Good higher education opportunities– Chastity programs
Not just new school buildings or books, but carefully laid out educational programs that work – scholarships, internships at higher levels, etc. – are needed. Despite the problems and obstacles to primary and secondary education, a significant number of young girls make it into universities, polytechnics or colleges. The problem however is that, most of the schools and resources are substandard and outdated. As such, the quality of higher education is low and cannot compare to that of more privileged countries. Even though the teachers put in their very best and the students work hard, the system is inadequate and will always produce disadvantaged graduates who are not confident enough to stand with their counterparts who have studied in other parts of the world.
Such programs in secondary schools, universities and churches would create a solid support system to form, inform and reassure our young girls and women that real love is that which is healthy and holy. Many African girls are no longer sure about moral sexual ethics thanks to the widespread influence of Western media, movies and magazines. More support should be given to programs that encourage abstinence before marriage and fidelity in marriage. This approach would go a long way to combating the spread of HIV and other STDs through the continent. And it would certainly lead to happier marriages!
– Support for micro-business opportunities for women
The average African women is incredibly happy, hard-working and resilient. Any support both economic and through training would most probably be used well and wisely.
– Fortify already established NGOs that are aimed at protecting women from sex-trafficking, prostitution, forced marriage, child labor, domestic violence, sex crimes, etc.
Many of these NGOs do not have much success because they are not well-funded. Though most of them have good intentions, they lack professional input from those such as psychologists, logisticians or medical personnel needed to tackle various problems.
$4.6 billion dollars can indeed be your legacy to Africa and other poor parts of the world. But let it be a legacy that leads life, love and laughter into the world in need.
If you want to help out and don't know where to start, The Work of Mercy is chockablock full of ideas. And here's the retirement plan:
Then the King will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35* for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 37 Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? 38 And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? 39 And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?' 40* And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.'

A three-month undercover drug investigation involving officers from several agencies resulted in the arrests Tuesday afternoon of three men on marijuana- trafficking charges.
Officials said the three were arrested at a motel west of Lake Worth after they attempted to sell 500 pounds of marijuana to agents from the Fort Lauderdale Police Department's Organized Crime Bureau.
Police said Peter L. Harbuck, 61, of Sunrise, John D. Culverhouse, 49, of Brooksville and Robert Ecklund, 33, of Pompano Beach were arrested at about 4:30 p.m.
Culverhouse and Ecklund both were being held on $250,000 bond, police said. Harbuck, who also has been arrested in connection with the weekend seizure of 650 pounds of cocaine in Broward County, was being held on $500,000 bond.
Investigators said the three traveled to Palm Beach County to pick up the marijuana, which had been stored in the area. Agents said they do not know exactly where the marijuana had been kept.
The arrests were the result of a joint investigation involving Fort Lauderdale police, Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies and agents from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.

McKinney is sharing the healthcare assignment with incumbent Waylon Co., St. Louis. Waylon is working on a fall campaign; McKinney's first effort is expected to break later this year or early in 1999.
The role of the two agencies has yet to be fully delineated, according to Rob Apatoff, senior VP-marketing for Aetna.
"We're still in the process of structuring that," said Mr. Apatoff, adding that the insurer decided to go with two shops because both gave strong presentations.
Healthcare advertising is increasingly important for Aetna because the insurer is building a U.S. focus on HMOs and other managed-care plans. Aetna sold off $50 billion of life insurance policies to Lincoln National Corp. last month as part of this effort to focus on healthcare.
McKinney beat out Angotti , Thomas, Hedge, New York; Bronner Slosberg Humphrey, Boston; and two other undisclosed agencies.
It's expected that Waylon will handle more promotion-related work with the addition of McKinney as lead agency.
McKinney CEO Don Maurer said the handling of media buying is still in discussions.
Separate from the healthcare business, Ammirati Puris Lintas, New York, handles corporate and retirement-service advertising for Aetna, which spent a total of $63 million last year, according to Competitive Media Reporting. That business was not included in the healthcare review.
This win marks the first time McKinney's relatively new management team all were involved in the same pitch. The team included Mr. Maurer, Senior VP-Executive Creative Director David Baldwin, Director of Account Planning Lesley Murray and Senior VP-Group Account Director Mark Schofield.
"There's been a lot of evolution if you look at what has happened over the last 18 months," said Mr. Maurer, citing not only the expansion in management but also its acquisition by CKS Group, Cupertino, Calif., last year.
Vice Chairman C. Anthony Wainwright, who joined the agency in April 1997, initiated the original contact with the new client.

There are many tips on kissing people give, but here I will share the most important ones.
If someone is stressed about when they will have their first kiss, or are not sure if they are kissing well or right, then there are a few things they should know.
There are a few things to think about
- before,
- while,
- and after kissing.
If someone is stressed about when they will have their first kiss, or are not sure if they are kissing well or right, then there are a few things they should know.
First, are you in an appropriate situation? Some people do not like to be very public with their affection, while others do not care. Know how your partner feels about this. Being considerate of their level of shyness as well shows great levels of empathy, which is great for any relationship.
Or if the person you want to kiss doesn't share your feelings, you should not try to kiss them. Have them open up to you more first.
Next, think about your breath.
- What did you eat today?
- When did you last brush your teeth?
Kissing someone right when you wake up without brushing is something for old, old couples. Sweet foods and fruits make your mouth taste better than spicy ones. Gum and mints can always be used against bad breath.
Also, think about if you have chapped or dry lips. Balms can be used to make lips soft and very kissable. It might seem to be a small detail to you, but it often is a big deal for your partner!
While kissing, make sure you relax and enjoy it! Many people forget this.
- Most people tilt their head to their right shoulder when going in for a kiss. Lock eyes before, and then close them when your going in for the kiss.
- React to your partner. Feel the rhythm for when to open your mouth or do anything with your tongue.
- Don't be sloppy with your tongue or over aggressive.
- You should think about massaging their mouth. Take it slow and then speed it up later. Also try not to drool.
- The rest of your body should engage as well. Caressing with the hands on the hips or in the hair may make the situation more enjoyable.
After kissing, don't make it awkward. Say something or smile and kiss them again quick. Hold their hand or something to show your affection for them. Kissing is a good way to show affection to your partner.

Jock itch is an infection of the groin area caused by fungus. The medical term is tinea cruris, or ringworm of the groin.
Alternative Names
Fungal infection - groin; Infection - fungal - groin; Itching in the groin; Ringworm - groin; Tinea cruris; Tinea of the groin
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Jock itch occurs when a type of fungus grows and spreads in the groin area.
Jock itch occurs mostly in adult men andteenage boys.Some persons who have this infection also have athletes foot and ringworm.The fungus that causes jock itch thrives in warm, moist areas.
Jock itch can be triggered by friction from clothes and prolonged wetness in the groin area, such as from sweating.
Jock itch can be passed from one person to the next by direct skin-to-skin contact or contact with unwashed clothing.
Jock itch usually stays around the creases of the upper thigh and does not involve the scrotum or penis. Jock itch may spread to the anus, causing anal itching and discomfort. Symptoms include:
- Red, raised, scaly patches that may blister and ooze; patches often have sharply-defined edges.
- Patches areoften redder around the outside with normal skin tone in the center.
- Abnormally dark or light skin. Sometimes, these changes are permanent.
Signs and tests
Your health care provider can usually diagnose jock itch based on how your skin looks.
Tests are usually not necessary. If tests are needed, they may include:
- A simple office test called a
KOH exam Skin culture
Jock itch usually responds to self-care within a couple of weeks:
- Keep the skin clean and dry in the groin area.
- Do not wear clothing that rubs and irritates the area. Wear loose-fitting underwear.
- Wash athletic supporters frequently.
- Over-the-counter antifungal or drying powders can help control the infection. These contain medicine, such as miconazole, clotrimazole, terbinafine or tolnaftate.
You may need treatment by a health care provider if your infection lasts longer than 2 weeks, is severe, or frequently returns. The health care provider may prescribe:
- Stronger topical (applied to the skin) antifungal medicines or oral antifungalmedicines
- Antibiotics may to treat bacterial infections that occur from scratching the area
If you tend to get jock itch, continue to apply antifungal or drying powders after bathing, even when you do not have jock itch.
Expectations (prognosis)
Jock itch usually responds promptly to treatment. It is often less severe than other tinea infections, such as athletes foot,but may last a long time.
Other causes of
Lichen simplex chronicus Eczema Pubic lice
- Chemical irritation
Inverse psoriasis(psoraisis that affects the skin folds)
Calling your health care provider
Call your doctor if jock itch does not respond to home care after 2 weeks or you have other symptoms.

text: Previous Post | Next Post MVRH Now Offering Cutting Edge, Non-operative Procedures that are Changing Lives for Local Patients 11-18-2014 By Mountain View Regional Hospital Patients are receiving relief from pain via a new procedure now available at Mountain View Clinic. Mountain View Clinic offers platelet rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell injection therapy that aim to provide exceptional results while minimizing patient pain. Research has proven that PRP and stem cell injection therapy is a non-invasive and non-operative way to stimulate and accelerate growth and healing. Patients who engage in these regenerative therapies at Mountain View Clinic use their own blood and stem cells, preventing transmissible diseases and promoting the body to heal itself. The PRP and stem cell injection procedure is a fairly simple, non-invasive way to promote healing at the site of injury or pain. This cutting edge procedure mimics your body's natural healing response - whenever your body's soft tissue is injured. Your body's first natural response is to flood the area with platelets as they are filled with growth and healing factors. These factors are the catalysts for this repair by recruiting stem cells to the site of injury. PRP and stem cell injection therapy optimizes the body's healing process by injecting a high concentration of platelets directly into the injured area. The physicians at Mountain View Clinic are highly trained in these procedures as well as being Board Certified and fellowship trained. These physicians and their staff use top quality equipment that they have sourced to ensure the best possible results. PRP and stem cell injections are ideal for individuals who face ailments such as: tendonitis, tendonosis, ACL injuries, arthritis of the knee, hip or shoulder, rotator cuff tears, tennis elbow, hip bursitis, patellar tendon injury, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendon injury. Patients interested in the PRP procedure should schedule a consultation appointment with Mountain View Clinic to determine if they are a good candidate. Categories: News

Hello, my name is Clay Collins and welcome to this episode of the Marketing Show. And by the way, I just got done finishing what is probably the worst macchiato of my life. I should have known not to order this when the barista didn't know how to make it initially and was, you know, told me some story about how Starbucks had invented the macchiato for commercial purposes which I know its complete BS, because when I was in Italy recently they were being consumed left and right, so Starbucks, by the way, did not invent the macchiato. And just for you information, if someone ever tells you that they did, they're probably gonna make a pretty crappy macchiato.
Anyway, that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with today's marketing show which is all about a limiting belief that most people have in business that is sort of stopping them from truly creating the kind of income that they need to make to really-really-really turn their business into a long term serious endeavor. So as an intro to this, I want to talk about the three ways that most people believe they need to pursue or the three ways that most people go about trying to create more income in their business.
So the first way is…to increase products, right? You can sell more products to your existing lead base or your existing customer base. So that's method number one.
The second way is to increase traffic to your existing offer. So you send more people to your sales page or to your offer page and that results in mo' money.
The third way is to increase conversion. So you can have the same amount of traffic going to the existing offer and if the percentage of people who buy based on that sales pages increases then your gonna make more money, right? Because you've tweeted that sales page, you've honed the message, you've refined the message, you've done stuff to increase conversion.
So these two bottom things, right? Increasing traffic and increasing conversion, come about as the result of marketing. These are marketing activities. Getting more traffic to your website is absolutely a marketing activity. Increasing the percentage of people who see your offer who end up buying is also a marketing activity. Creating more products is absolutely not a marketing activity, which doesn't mean it's bad. I'm just saying it's not a marketing activity. Now most people, when they need to create more income in their business, go about it by creating more products. And the reason for this really comes from a limiting belief that, drastically increasing their traffic, is going to be difficult to do, and drastically increasing conversion is difficult to do. And because they don't really know how to increase traffic or increase conversion, they end up increasing the number of products that they produce. And long term this is much-much-much more costly than increasing traffic and increasing conversion. The reason for this is really twofold.
The first is, increasing the number of products that you create is incredibly- incredibly costly. Every time you create a new product, you need to divert your focus away from the marketing piece and you need to create a, you know, not only a new product but you need to create a new sales letter, you need to create a new website, you need to create a new message, you have to, you know, there's just a flurry of activities that happen when you create a new product from scratch. It's not about the product at all, in terms of the time. That takes up some of the time, but the majority of your time, you spend creating new sales messages, new email marketing campaigns, getting new affiliates for your new product, and doing a whole bunch of stuff. Every time you start from scratch to create a new product, it costs you. It also costs you because it confuses your customers. If you are in a certain market and you spend the bulk of your time promoting one product in that market and all a sudden you have a new product, I guarantee you that no matter how clear you are about who the two products are for, people are going to get anxious and they are going to get confused and they are going to be much-much less likely to buy when you have multiple products.
The Paradox Of Choice, By Barry Schwartz
Because, what happens, there's a book called The Paradox of Choice that's entirely about this, but what happens is people don't like the anxiety they feel when they have to decide between two different things, and often, they end up purchasing nothing at all. So, this is incredibly costly to do. Why is this less costly to do?
Well, you can create systems to increase traffic. You can create pay-per-click campaigns, you can create SEO campaigns, you can do a variety of things to automate the process of bringing traffic to your business. It does require some investment, it does require tweaking and honing and testing and tracking and doing some analytics goals, and you know, creating systems.
But when you invest in increasing your traffic, you're investing in a high ROI activity that can be automated, right, and scaled. Buying traffic and converting it is something that absolutely can be automated, and absolutely can be scaled.
Increasing conversion also is something that can be automated and that can be scaled. You can hire a copywriter, you can bring people in house, you can create a system around testing and tracking in your business that allows you to increase conversion.
On the other hand, creating products is something that is very-very-very difficult to automate and scale. Yes, you can create systems around creating products and you can outsource it, and you can do a bunch of things there, but a know very few truly great products that have been created as the result of automation, right?
Normally if you want to create a good product, you bring in your best people, your best engineers, your best thinkers, and you have them dedicate, you know, some serious brainpower and some serious creativity and some serious research and development funds to creating a product.
So, you know, this is an incredibly costly thing that you can do. What most businesses do, and why most businesses fail, is that they spend about 80 percent of their time making new products from scratch. And they spend about, oh, anywhere from, you know, 20 percent of their time to 10 percent of their time, creating sustainable marketing systems for increasing their traffic and increasing their conversion in a sustainable, automated fashion that grows their business long term.
So, I guess what I want to propose to you is this. Every time that you think you need to create a new product in order to increase your revenue by selling a new product to your existing customer base, it's costing you. It's costing you time. It's, in a number of cases, decreasing conversions in your business because people are becoming more and more and more confused about what to buy.
So, instead of creating new products – which you do need to do occasionally – I encourage you to focus on traffic and to focus on conversion and drive more traffic to the same offer. Tweak that offer. Test that offer. Hone it. Refine it.
Create a system around marketing your product and tweak it and hone it, little by little, ratchet it up, you know, make little tweaks here and little tweaks there, to your existing marketing systems. Drive more traffic, increase conversion and you will have a much, much, much higher ROI than if you just go about increasing your products.
But again, this is a serious marketing activity, and as much as people would like to think of themselves as marketers, most people are not ready to go out and buy traffic. They aren't ready to really, really, really test conversion and do what needs to be done there. They'd rather just write 50 more blog posts. They'd rather just, you know, just have another brilliant idea about creating a new product and have a suite of products, right?
So, the real marketing work is going to result in higher ROI. So, my advice, once again, is that, if you think you have to create another product in order to increase your income, you have a marketing problem and you need a market solution.
Anyway that's it for today's marketing show. Thank you so much for watching and I will speak to you soon. My name is Clay Collins, and I hope you have a wonderful day. Take care.

Bullying, What is BULLYING. Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual.
If somebody you know is getting bullied or for adults the word would be ADULT BULLYING. Everybody is different in some way, It doesn't matter what the way the person is dressed or how they walk or even talk.
The reason people bully is because they are either jealous or they have no life or that's what they have been taught in their childhood if that's the case then that is really sad.
Don't listen to the people who bother you. All I have to say is stay strong and amazing cause u are amazing no matter what people say remember that.

Festival Life
At Olympia Waldorf School, like Waldorf schools around the world, the celebration of seasonal festivals renews our awareness of the rhythms of the year and fosters the children's relationship to the world into which they grow. Our festivals are brought to life thought the efforts of our entire school community and are a cherished part of the life of our school.
In addition to our three main seasonal festivals, parents are welcome to attend the various all-school daytime assemblies which are held throughout the year, including the Rose Ceremony on the first day of school, Friday Morning Assemblies, and Eighth Grade Graduation and End of the Year Assembly.
The Rose Ceremony and Eighth Grade Graduation
Michaelmas, the festival of courage, is one of many historical festivals that have evolved over time to encompass both the secular and the spiritual, that are celebrated in Waldorf schools around the world as sign-posts of the changing seasons.
Michaelmas is the feast of St. Michael, patron saint of the sea and maritime lands, of ships and boatmen, of horses and horsemen. Michaelmas is still one of the four "quarter dates" in the British Isles, falling roughly on the dates of the solstices and equinoxes--four days of the year around which community, religious, agricultural, and political rhythms of life were woven. The first term of the scholastic year in England is still called "Michaelmas term." Historically, Michaelmas has also been a time to practice rituals to ensure prosperity for the coming year, such as roasting a Michaelmas geese or baking mammoth loaves of bread.
We too associate Michaelmas with the shortening of days, with the beginning of the school year. It's plain to see why we love this festival--for its celebration of the harvest, for its feasting; for its message of bravery and good deeds; for its encouraging transition from one season to another.
Do you hear the faint jingle of bells? Winter Faire is right around the corner. On the first Saturday in December our school celebrates the magic and enchantment of the holiday season. There will be fun for all ages. This celebration is a gift to children all around Olympia!
Enjoy warm, freshly-baked gingerbread, music and puppet plays, wonderful new crafts and perennial favorites too! There are magical activities for the whole family! Click here to learn more!
May Faire
"...if rituals and festivals have traditionally contributed to the integration and stability of communities and societies, then in the modern context they may do the same for our personal integration and for a healthy social ethos."
—Diana Carey and Judy Large, from Festivals, Family, and Food
"Celebrating festivals illuminates our life on earth with heavenly meaning and shows us the significance of our human existence in the universe. We human beings stand between the two worlds uniting them in ourselves. We are the crossing point where the upper circle representing the heavens flows into the lower one belonging to the earth."
-Evelyn Frances Derry


text: I found this recipe in the archives (originally called Eggplant with Hot Garlic Sauce, adapted from Pei Mei's Chinese Cooking and posted in February 1994 by R. Julia F. Rudden <juliafr@xxxxxxxxxx>.) I've only changed it a little bit. I had this for supper last night *and* the night before, accompanied by Ginger Broccoli (see separate post) and the first time the Quinoa with Green Beans recipe posted on Jan 4 by Jan Bennicoff (recommended!), the second time with an adaptation of another archives recipe for noodles (see separate post). One of my New Year's resolutions (starting from this week - I had to take some time to think about them!) is not to get behind with my mailing lists, so I can participate more fully. So, if I don't post regularly from now on, could someone please email me and remind me? I promise I will post lots of recipes if you help me with this ;-) Kate PS See yet another separate post for the method of chopping ginger finely that I learnt from one of Ken Hom's TV programmes. ---------------------------------------- * Aubergine (Eggplant) in Garlic Sauce * ---------------------------------------- The ginger and garlic must be chopped *very* finely, and cooked longer than you may expect, since we are cooking them in water rather than oil! Hoisin sauce is available from supermarkets (at least in the UK), but you could probably sub any kind of ketchuppy spicy Chinese bottled sauce. Serves 2 1 medium aubergine (eggplant) - about 300g (10-11oz) 1 tsp finely-chopped fresh garlic (about 2 cloves) 1 tsp finely-chopped fresh ginger 1 tbsp hoisin sauce 2 spring onions (green onions, scallions, gibbons), finely chopped 1 tsp dark soy sauce 1. Peel the aubergine if you hate the skin, or leave it on if you like the texture and think it looks pretty. Cut lengthways into oblong pieces about the size and length of 2 fingers side by side. 2. Boil 1 cm (1/2 inch) of water in a wide frying pan, then add the aubergine and cook, stirring occasionally and adding more water as needed, until aubergines are softened to your satisfaction, and very little water remains (about 7 minutes for me). 3. Remove the aubergine to a bowl, then heat another 1cm water in the pan. Add garlic, ginger and hoisin sauce, then simmer briskly for 10 minutes, stirring and adding more water as needed. 4. Add the soy sauce and spring onions to the pan, then add the cooked aubergine, with a little more water if needed. Cook over a low heat for 5 minutes, stirring to coat the aubergine with the sauce. 5. Serve hot or at room temperature. -- A New Year, a New Sig. But not yet.

Telephone area codes are associated with geographic locations. In the United States and Canada, the North American Numbering Plan assigned these numbers starting in 1947. However, there are currently several services allowing the consumer to set a complete 10-digit telephone number regardless of the area.
At first, each state or province assigned a single area code with a central digit of 0, and assigned multiple had a central digit of 1. For convenience with rotary dialing, the areas with the highest populations also had the lowest digits. This is why, for example, the New York City area has the area code 212. In North America, a single area code corresponds to part of a state or province.

The member for Swansea, Garry Edwards, has stood aside from the party after being named at a corruption hearing.
He becomes the ninth NSW Liberal MP to be sidelined amid revelations at the Icac.
look forward to an early opportunity to clear my name," Edwards said in
a statement. "In the meantime, I have decided to stand aside from the
parliamentary Liberal party. I have informed the premier of my decision
and he has accepted it."
Earlier on Thursday the Newcastle
property baron Jeff McCloy told the Icac that he gave about $1,500 to
Edwards. The now mayor of Newcastle said he handed out so much cash to
MPs that he felt like a walking ATM.
Tim Owen and Andrew Cornwell
quit the NSW parliament this week after corruption watchdog revelations
that they were given $10,000 each in the lead-up to the 2011 election.
Developers are barred from making political donations in NSW.
Giving evidence, McCloy said he handed over cash to Edwards as well.

money to?" counsel assisting, Geoffrey Watson, asked.
"The guy
from Swansea came to see me, Garry – he rang me – it was [on a] a
Saturday. He came round to my home; whatever was in my wallet, 1,500
bucks, raffle tickets or something. I gave him a few bob."
McCloy appeared relaxed in the witness box, quipping: "They all come to see me for money; I feel like a walking ATM some days."

"I have a nagging thing in the back of my head about some CDs for her husband. Was that so? I am not sure."
Parker was dumped from cabinet in the premier's April reshuffle.
The inquiry continues.

One of the most striking innovations in gaming this year has been the dynamic and realistic facial animation technology in Rockstar's L.A. Noire. It looks like the company could be planning to use the same technology in its forthcoming Grand Theft Auto V.
Brendan McNamara, co-founder of L.A. Noire developer Team Bondi told UK magazine PSM3, "I think they're looking at it for every game. As much as L.A. Noire is a huge game, Grand Theft Auto is incredibly huge, so you've got all the problems of how big the cast would be and how many lines would you have to record and all that kind of stuff.
"It brings a level of humanity to the experience that means people will - in the first few minutes - start relating to the characters on screen. They don't have to make that decision about 'whether I like this guy' or 'do I actually believe them? - but they can make all the like or dislike decisions based on the actor's performance."
He added, "Rockstar will make those decisions. They generally make the right decisions in terms of what they do for their games. Obviously we'd like them to, and they're more than welcome to use MotionScan, but if they decide it's not right for that and want to use it for another game, then that's fine too."
Thanks to CVG.

Esther Lucille (Brown) Shockley Brightwell, was born March 11, 1923, to Will and Bertha Lupardus Brown. She joined seven other siblings at their home near the end of Hwy D in Kaiser, Missouri. Five years later another sister was added totaling nine Brown Children.
The Brown Family was very poor like so many in rural Missouri at that time. Their lives revolved around chores with livestock, gardening, school and church. She and her eight siblings were kept busy but still made time to hike to a nearby cave for picnics and play in fields. In order to save their shoes, Lucille and siblings walked barefoot two miles through the woods to their one room Post Oak School house. Once there, they put on their shoes and at noon ate the one cold biscuit in their sack for lunch.
Lucille's oldest sister, Lena Brown Bear offered Lucille a chance to go to high school in Tuscumbia, Missouri by helping care for Lena's two children, Sandra and Bill. Near the end of her senior year, on December 20th, 1941, Lucille married Claudius Shockley of Iberia, Missouri. Later the couple moved to Lake Ozark where they bought and operated Ozark Market for a little over nineteen years. During this time their family grew with the birth of five children; Sharon, Lindsey, Donna, Todd and Tim.
Most of Lucille's brothers and sisters lived near each other and thrived by sharing their daily lives. The regular phone calls, meet-ups for coffee, meals and holidays never dwindled over the years. Her brothers and sisters were always her greatest source of joy and fulfillment. As a result her children, nieces and nephews grew up together. The large extended family has become a great source of love and support for each other.
Lucille joined and regularly attended Riverview Baptist Church for over fifty years. She served in many capacities, but primarily in the kitchen, as she was known to be an excellent cook and enjoyed the work. Lucille also joined the Eastern Star in Eldon, and was active in the local PTA organization serving continuously for thirty-five years.
Lucille was a busy energetic woman. She worked in the grocery store with her husband, kept an immaculate house, cooked three meals a day, ironed anything she washed and volunteered at church and other organizations, not counting keeping up with five children all at different stages in life. Lucille also provided child care for several children. After the couple sold the grocery store she began working full time at School of the Osage Elementary building in food service. During the summer she and Claudius worked at the Ozark Opry: he parking cars and she working in the snack bar popping popcorn and waiting on customers.
Claudius passed away in April 1989, after forty-eight years of marriage. Several years later Lucille met and married Vernon Brightwell of Jefferson City, on September 9, 1995. The two shared twenty-two years together continuing to invite family and friends into their home. Vernon passed away in October 2017.
One by one Lucille's siblings passed away and she remained the only one of the nine Brown children. As a result she established a special bond with her nieces and nephews. Each one became a great pleasure and comfort to her.
Lucille was never old in spirit. At age 94 years of age, she continued to work in her yard, attend grandchildren's events, and shop. She invited family and friends over for 'coffee klatches', serving pin-wheel cookies or raisin pie. Most family requests were a meal of brown beans, and fried potatoes. Games of Brown's Bridge or Hand and Foot were a must when visiting. The grandchildren have always adored Lucille; especially her frank conversations with them. They were able to tell her anything and often did. She provided them wisdom through stories of her struggles through life. She and the grandkids often laughed together as she expounded on past and current topics; memories her grandkids treasure.
Esther Lucille Brown Shockley Brightwell, 94, passed away at the Neighborhoods at Quail Creek in Springfield, Missouri on Saturday, January 6, 2018. She was preceded in death by her husband, Claudius Shockley and husband Vernon Brightwell, daughter, Sharon Shockley DeClue (Ron DeClue), her parents, Will and Bertha Lupardus Brown, her brothers; Earl Brown, Uhel Doc Brown, Russell Brown, Mack Brown, and sisters; Lena Brown Bear, Faye Brown Bechtold, Lela Brown Duffield, and Doris Brown Porter.
Lucille is survived by children, Todd Shockley (Daphne Forester) of Camdenton, Missouri, Tim Shockley of San Diego California, Lindsey Shockley McClure (Bruce McClure) of Swann Valley, Idaho, and Donna Shockley Carrender (Gary Carrender) of Lake Ozark, Missouri, nine grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
The family will welcome friends for visitation on Saturday, January 13, 2018 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at Hedges-Scott Funeral Home, Osage Beach, Missouri. Services will be held on Sunday, January 14, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at Riverview Baptist Church, Osage Beach, Missouri.
Entombment will be at Lake Memorial Garden Cemetery Mausoleum, Osage Beach.
In lieu of flowers the family would request that consideration be made to donate to either the Shockley-DeClue Memorial Scholarship fund or the American Lung Association in memorial to Lucille
Expressions of sympathy may be shared online at www.hedgesscottfuneralhomes.com
Arrangements have been placed in the care of Hedges-Scott Funeral Home, Osage Beach, Missouri.

an introductionJuly 27, 2008
hello world!
i am a short and painfully perky LD named kat. i live in michigan. i figure that this would be a good way for me to chronicle some of my recent and future work as well as whatever other lighting geekery i come up with. this is also a good way for people to keep track of what i'm doing these days; i have a bad habit of losing contact with people i like, and then being asked…"so WHAT do you do? WHERE are you?"
let's start there: i am a lighting designer currently finishing out the summer season at a wonderful opera house located in southern michigan. i will soon be moving back to school to finish out my third and final year of grad school. after that, who knows? i have big plans [and even bigger dreams], but in the theatre world you learn to take life one day at a time.
anything else tech-related i will probably cover at some point, but feel free to ask! i am generally pretty friendly and laid-back…until dimmer packs start blowing. more on that later.

Grebien gets an SUV, explains reasoning behind it
Grebien gets an SUV, explains reasoning behind it
PAWTUCKET - Mayor Don Grebien has a "new" set of wheels, a sport utility vehicle he says is more suited both to his personal style and family's needs than the Ford Crown Victoria he's driven since he became mayor in January of 2011.
Grebien is heading off talk that a new SUV was purchased for him, a rumor that was again resurfacing on social media sites last week.
"We all know that in my position there are some who will always misrepresent the facts," said Grebien in an e-mail. "There has been no purchase of an SUV for me."
According to the mayor, there were two new SUVs purchased last year for the Pawtucket Police Department Special Squad. It was those two purchases that first got rumors going that he had a new taxpayer-funded SUV, said Grebien.
The 2006 Ford Explorer SUV the mayor is now driving, complete with the classic "70000" license plate, has been used by the Pawtucket Police Department since the vehicle was purchased new back in 2006, according to Police Chief Paul King. The Explorer, which had 69,104 miles on it as of last Saturday evening, said Grebien, was officially assigned to him and registered with the proper plates last Friday.
