Makeup Artist School
Hi, I'm Anastasia Andreani, co-founder of Vizio Makeup Academy, the world's leading Makeup Artist School. With the help of an amazing team, my partner and I have created the first cloud-based makeup education. I love teaching as much as I love makeup and skincare, so the development of our makeup academy has been amazing for me. I grew up just outside of Chicago, IL, where I worked and earned my degree in business. However, I soon realized I simply wasn't fulfilled at a 9-5 job in the business world. I decided to follow my lifelong passion in makeup artistry and skincare. Since my early teens, I have been obsessed with makeup, reading beauty magazines, and searching for the newest cutting edge techniques, skin products, and so on, so it made sense for me to follow my heart into the beauty industry. I began my journey into esthetics and makeup artistry. I attended Pivot Point International School, where I earned my esthetics license. I started working in a day spa, where I specialized in makeup artistry, skin care, and facials. I quickly became intrigued by the anti-aging industry and cutting edge skin trends, so I continued on to study medical esthetics and makeup artistry, where I began working under a physician in a medical spa. Wow! What an entirely new world this led me to. I learned so much about the newest advanced technologies and products, but what I realized mostly was I loved studying the many different faces that greeted me every day. Faces are the most fascinating and inspiring creations in this world, with all the different shapes and sizes, skin tones, cheekbones, and expressions. But besides the faces, the personalities and life stories of people, and my love for art and education are what have kept me so in love with what I do! After several years working in the field of makeup artistry and esthetics, I decided to take what I had learned over the many years and pursue my love for education. With so many YouTube videos and makeup tutorials, I thought it was confusing for people to learn about makeup artistry. I was so blessed to find my partner in business and in life, my husband helped me with the technology part, and together we began creating online beauty education. My puzzle came together when I found the world's most amazing makeup artists working in Hollywood, California and Las Vegas, Nevada. Their expertise and techniques have taken Vizio Makeup Academy to a whole new level by teaching aspiring makeup artists to pursue their dreams. That leads me to where I am today, excited and proud to introduce our newest online makeup academy to the world. Technology really is a beautiful tool, and combined with a fantastic and dedicated team, Vizio Makeup Academy was born. It's truly been an amazing journey so far! I love connecting with people, and I absolutely love reading your comments and feedback, so feel free to reach out to me. xoxox Anastasia Andreani firstname.lastname@example.com

The aging issues impact men equally, as women get affected, and the worst situation arrives with low energy drive, low muscle build, lower health and the most important low sex drive with arousal issues.
From time to time market has observed various observations through male enhancement supplements that promised a lot, but deliver a little. Low testosterone is all responsible for delivering you erectile dysfunction, low ejaculation time and fewer erections.
Still in regards to those I recently observed a new arrival on online segment that was termed as Testo Fire X. The supplement aids to enhance the male virility and vitality by enhancing the hormone flow in male body, and could be used as a daily regime.
Still you need to be clear here that no real evidences were found after complete research done on its composition. Entire characteristics mentioned above are just a personal observation of author and can't be related as final answer to sort out sexual issues.
Further Testo Fire X works on to improve the complete sexual wellness of male group that include enhanced libido level, improved energy and stamina to perform for long hours at bed, enhanced ejaculation time while performance duration, harder and long lasting penis erection, natural boost to testosterone hormone of body and high sleep mood to stay away from mood swings.
According to creators of Testo Fire X the key ingredients that formulated in its bottle usually include zinc, horny goat weed, Vitamin B6, Tongkat Ali, Rhodiola Rosea, Fenugreek Extracts, zinc, minerals, L Arginine and antioxidants.
Further the statements mentioned above are not evaluated by food and drug administration (FDA), and its final result may vary from person to person depending on their health condition and the way pills are consumed.
Minors who are below 18 years of age must strictly stay away from its use and the pills must never be overdosed to avoid side effects. The essential pills are made easy to consume on a daily basis, and for better impression it is advised to use pills twice daily. Drink plenty of water and healthy nutritional food while you are consuming the pills and have regular exercises.
As far as pricing is concerned product is sold through 14 day trial base only at price of $4.56, afterwards you would be charged with $87.67 for full size monthly subscription. Since it is a trial offer so that would not allow for refund back of money still the cancellation could be done in between 14 day trial period.
Looking after the official website of Testo Fire X we only discovered out that its official website is very new and is lacking essential customer reviews and feedbacks. The product looks an expensive deal and may not work as per the expectations. So better would be to stay away from its use and get best prescription from physician only.

Rumor Has It...
The drive from the DFW area to Santa Fe, NM was a fun filled, icy adventure punctuated by one moment of almost terror as we watched an 18 wheeler lose control on black ice, head straight for the median and jack knife to a stop just before careering into our lane at the exact moment we were skating by while trying to get the ABS brakes to do something besides take a nap on the ice.
Here's some photos from the trip for your enjoyment.
Just as an FYI, allergies, high altitude, and a sedentary lifestyle do not mix well. An hour and a half of attempting to teach M&M was enough to have her and I both worn out and ready for a nap. The Queen was sent to enjoy the slopes without us.
Just as a PS to the FYI, planning a ski trip for New Years when everyone and their dog are off work makes for a very crowded ski area.
2 comments:
Hope you all had a great time, looks fun. I stay away from ski's, my legs are only coordinated for a skateboard or surfboard, it would be a disaster for me.ReplyDeleteReplies
Senior, we had an enjoyable trip regardless of how much/how little time we spent on the slopes. I got the reaction I was looking for from The Queen. The accomodations were nice. But for the first part of the drive to get there, the weather was good. I should probably get into better shape before attempting skiing again. Can't skateboard or surf to save my life. Too much gangly and not enough skill.Delete
On another note, my memory says you live or lived in the northern Florida area. If that is correct, drop me an email at krerick at google's mail service. I've got some questions for you.
I am not easily offended. Please feel free to express your opinions: good, bad or indifferent. Basically, the "Golden Rule" applies. You get what you give. Treat others like trash here, and your comments will be trashed accordingly. Rudeness and vulgarity will not be tolerated.

Eating at Cannolis is murder on Claire's figure…but chasing a singing killer could be deadly.
>>>Enter to win all three Terrified Detective books<<<
Private Detective Claire DeNardo is afraid of everything. Simple things like balloons, roller coasters, and hairpieces make her knees knock loud enough to be a band's rhythm section. Unfortunately, the only job Claire can find is working for her Uncle Gino in his seedy detective agency. Until now, her cases have all been middle-aged men with trophy wives who needed watching. But Claire gets swept up in a murder case despite being afraid of conflict, bodily harm, and hurting anyone's feelings. She enlists a jaded security guard, Ed, to help her. But when Ed is attacked and left comatose, Claire must stumble along by herself. Both the client who hired her and the handsome police detective want her off the case. When the wrong person is charged, it's up to the terrified detective, to summon all the courage she can to find the true killer.

Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) Ecosystem Change and Hazard Susceptibility
Project Leader: John Brock - USGS Florida Integrated Science Center, St. Petersburg, Florida
Data and information management is a critical component of every science study, and the methods of data storage, backup, retrieval, data sharing and dissemination must be carefully considered. Defining a data management scheme is particularly important for interdisciplinary and integrated science studies, because the resident researchers need access to basic thematic data sets, and require a convenient method for sharing data amongst one another. Another important task is the providing of information on research activities to the general public, local managers, and policy-makers. The system must also evolve into a method for scientists to share their research results and data upon completion of data collection and analysis. The data management system must be sufficiently robust to provide adequate support of study goals and objectives, but should not be overly complex as to burden the scientists with unnecessary tasks nor require excessive expense and maintenance.
Broadly, data and information management in the NGOM Change and Hazard Project will split into Task-specific systems for work-in-progress data sets, and a separate "umbrella" project-wide data and information management system housed in Task 1. Each Task will develop and implement an individual information management plan that is applicable to the data and information needs of that Task's unique working-level data handling. Within the Task-specific data and information systems, data structures, file formats, file maintenance, and data backup will be the responsibility of each researcher. Following data processing, interpretation, Tasks are expected to deliver mature, quality-controlled data and information products to the project-level data and information management system, where basic metadata records will be created.
The first evolution of the NGOM Change and Hazard Project project-wide data and information management system was realized with the creation of a Google Maps -based web portal for distribution of published lidar, bathymetry, core and imagery data. This webtool offers a familiar user interface for use in the discovery of georefrenced, project relevant data sets. The second purpose of this tool is for use in coordinating multi-agency surveying and data gathering efforts around the NGOM region in order to minimize reduncy and maximize cooperation.

First of all, let me say that it's always amazing to work with friends. I enjoy that as much as meeting new people, but it's just the overall feeling of knowing someone and knowing their likes and dislikes, good sides and bad sides, that allows Creatives, Designers, Photographers etc. to create the best results. I've worked with Una for many times now, and she never ceases to amaze me with her confidence and desire to inspire other people in the fashion industry. Una is someone I've met in college about 2 years ago, and has grown to be one of my best friends today. She's a fashion student, who's working hard to achieve her goals of one day owning a Boutique, Designing and offering Stylist services to others. One of the most creative people I've met – Please make sure to check her out at http://thesanktuary.blogspot.com/.
As far as the Photoshoot, I've taken my creative freedoms to Style, Shoot and Edit the Series below. We've used the roof of my apartment building in Los Angeles, CA as our location, as it offers an amazing variety of atmospheric patterns and backgrounds. I adore this roof so much, you guys have no idea. For this set, we've used a dress that had been hanging in my closet for a while..We've decided to keep her make up simple and classic, because her look is already exotic and powerful enough for the camera and I did not want to disguise that with unnecessary make-up agendas. I'm considering this the classical beauty side of the shoot, as there's more to this series…Stay tuned..I hope you guys like this.
If you are interested in booking me for a shoot as your photographer – Just email me!

|Matt Hynes
Now we know who Hynes meant by his "family".
Crain's reports:
Mayor Rahm Emanuel's departing chief lobbyist has a new gig and, metaphorically, it isn't far from City Hall. Matt Hynes, who last month announced his departure as the the mayor's director of legislative counsel and government affairs, will be joining Grosvenor Capital Management L.P., the firm run by Emanuel confident and kitchen-cabinet member Michael Sacks.Sacks is one of the biggest money-bags patrons feeding Emanuel's campaign trough. He was part of the Emanuel team that negotiated City Council's parking meter deal with operator Chicago Parking Meters LLC. Former mayor Daley now works for that firm. Sacks reportedly talks with Rahm several times daily.
Ald. Bob Fioretti, 2nd, one of Rahm's potential opponents in next year's race, voted "no" on the meter deal and says unpaid mayoral advisers are one thing. "It's another thing when you have them as active participants in a government function," he says. "We want government-business partnerships, but not these types."
Sacks is a big promoter of charter schools and serves as a mayoral adviser on the topic. He also sits on the board of After School Matters, Mayor and Maggie Daley's cash-cow after-school program which was used as back entrance to the old City Hall patronage system.
Hynes is not the first Chicago politico recruited by Sacks. Earlier moves to the firm include Kurt Summers, former chief of staff to Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, and Mr. Emanuel's chief information officer, Brett Goldstein.

Ocean recreation and especially surfing can be threatened in many ways. Loss of beach access can limit opportunities to recreate in certain places. Ocean pollution can threaten the health of ocean users, kill coral reefs or result in beaches being closed. Modifications to the shoreline and alteration of coastal processes from seawalls, jetties and beach fill can change nearshore bathymetry and impact the quality surfing areas. Over development of our watersheds can impact water quality and limit sediment flow that provides sand and cobble that make up surf breaks and reefs. Offshore development such a oil drilling, wave and wind farms, and aquaculture can impact recreation along the coasts in numerous ways. Finally, impacts to ocean wildlife, whether it's over fishing, invasive species or impacts to marine mammals, can make the ocean a less wild place diminishing ocean recreational experiences that range from spearfishing to whale watching. Given all of these threats, what are the solutions to protecting ocean recreation and surfing?
The Surfrider Foundation takes a multi-pronged approach to protecting ocean recreation and surfing. Here we provide an overview of those approaches and we will dive into each one in more detail in subsequent posts.
Reactive protection: In many cases a surfing spot is threatened by a specific project that demands a defensive reaction to the threat. This was the case when the Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) threatened the surf at Trestles by proposing a six lane highway what would impact water quality and gut the watershed that supplies the cobble and sand that makes the wave great. Another recent case was the proposed seismic testing in Morro Bay that would have kept surfers out of the water for weeks on end while decimating the local porpoise population. You can see where we have active campaigns and those we've already won here.
Reactive fights are a necessary evil but not the best way to protect surfing. To paraphrase Sun Tzu, the best fights are the ones you win before you start.
Surfonomics: When the value of a natural resource is unknown, they are often assigned a value of zero. This is often the case with surfing, where hackneyed stereotypes of lazy, burned out surfers result in disregard for the economic contribution of surfing to coastal communities. Not surprising to any surfer, surfing is an important economic driver in places where high quality surfing areas attract surfers to their community who then spend money in local businesses. By using techniques developed in the field of resource economics, the Surfrider Foundation is helping to better understand the demographics, behavioral patters and economic values associated with surfing. This information can be an important tool for the protection of surfing.
Go here to learn more about these efforts.
Ocean Recreation studies for Ocean Planning: Expanding beyond surfonomics, Surfrider is engaging in state and regional non-consumptive ocean recreation studies to characterize recreational use for entire states and regions. We are focused on non-consumptive, meaning non-fishing, recreation because other organizations are better suited to capture information on fishing. These studies provide a broad overview of ocean recreation and are used to ensure that ocean recreation is a consideration in ocean planning decisions. For example, Surfrider completed an ocean recreation study in Oregon to aid planning for offshore renewable energy (wind and wave energy) projects so they minimize impacts on ocean recreation. We have plans to conduct similar projects in Washington and along the Mid-Atlantic region.
Wave Protection: The holy grail in protection of ocean recreation is to establish permanent protection by designating ocean recreation and surfing protected areas. Marine protected areas are one mechanism to protect ocean recreation and Surfrider has been involved in marine protection designations in Oregon, California and Puerto Rico. Surfing-specific protection areas are also emerging as a surf protection tool. There are efforts underway in New Zealand and Australia to protect surfing areas and the nascent World Surfing Reserve program has designated surfing reserves domestically in Malibu and Santa Cruz.
In combination, these efforts are developing important information about the value of coastal and ocean recreation and finding ways to ensure protect ocean recreation for the future

Truth be told, I really wish I had a cutting machine. But I don't. So I learn to make do.
I would love to add a Silhouette Cameo or Cricut cutting machine to my arsenal of craft tools. But for now, I'm cutting my projects by hand. I've found that with a little time and a bit of patience, you can still create really cool gifts - even without a cutting device.
This week, I hand cut this nursery art for a friend's baby who was recently baptized.
Would it have been easier to make this with a cutting machine? Most definitely! But what I lacked in crafting tools I made up for with perseverance.
So maybe the lower curve of the "s" is slightly jagged, and center of the letters are absent, but let's not dwell on that okay? Just humor me, and agree that it adds to the gift's charm :)
Want to make your own? Here's how...
- First create your graphic using PicMonkey, or equivalent. Begin with a blank image resized to the dimensions for your frame. (Send me an email if you need help getting started.) Design your graphic in regular view and once satisfied, switch to a reversed image by clicking the two sideways arrows. (Located on the text edit box - where you select the color.)
- Save and print your image (on cardstock). It should look something like this...
- This will be your guide for both stitching and cutting. The printed portion will be on the back side of your art.
- Stitch selected portions before cutting.
- Then cut out name and hearts with craft knife.
- Line backside with pretty fabric.
- Embellish frame with rosettes made in corresponding fabric.

Fyre Festival organizers Billy McFarland and Ja Rule are facing several major lawsuits after attempting to put on a music festival in the Bahamas only to have it collapse before it began.
The most recent suit, filed in the Southern District of Florida, was brought by two Fyre Festival guests, Emily and Kenneth Reel.
Filed by Greenspoon Marder and seeking $5 million in damages, the suit names Fyre Media, McFarland, Ja Rule (Jeffrey Atkins), and two PR firms that were tasked with handling promotion for the festival, 42West and Matte Projects.
"Even basic due diligence would have revealed that the Fyre Festival could not possibly live up to the hype, as basic infrastructure was not even in place," the complaint reads. "And, upon information and belief, the PR Defendants did nothing to ensure that what they were marketing, and in turn what people were relying upon in purchasing tickets, was or even could be true."
One shot showing a woman swimming in the sea off Exuma is highlighted, which according to the plaintiff, is incorrect, as one of the employees of the festival was told not to go near the water off Exuma because of "a rampant shark problem," the lawsuit says.
Here's the full Fyre Festival promo video:
The lawsuit outlines what the expectations were for this supposedly "luxury" festival vs. the realities. Take a look at the pictures below:

Initial purchase + soup recipe and for the remaining money clarity We go to the hard for a successful FB shop 4 mines will suffice to blow up any hero from 1 lvl to 3 Good bundles at the beginning of the miner + puja, the darxir + miner The second position for a length of mines is the bends I prefer to put all the same on the bends because it is more likely to kill someone When the enemy support goes to make a challenge (and he will do it), then it will successfully undermine and we will get a fb gold and experience Miner as well as the invoker (sandstreak) gets experience from either end of the map if someone undermines 3 position for mines is rune, quite often someone goes to check runes at the beginning of the game and later.
You can put in the very beginning before the release of creeps for fb. Landmines can be used for heras taverns (miner good pusher and release) Personally, I like to use the skill build (max mines and suicide without a camp in the priority of land mines) to an amateur Arrangement of distant mines, the most favorable arrangement of "honeycomb" gives the largest radius of defeat And at the same time the most effective way.
Do not place all mines in 1 point (except landmines) 2400 mag damage can demolish almost everyone who will blow a tavern (from 6 to 11 lvl) Sometimes izi rempage Defer from the miner is also good, now I will demonstrate one of the best ways of the def To break the mines the enemies must go to xg (fall into the zone of action of mines, izi, and def) C xg slip misses The situation with the gem is very easy to solve, forge the enemy on mines while he will beat them Next will be no comment, I think and so everything will be clear) Good luck in all endeavors of this hero LT..

"Peck's Office Plus delivered on everything they promised. They listened to our needs and designed a system that worked for us. The materials are top notch and the installation was performed skillfully and when promised. When we needed to expand our office some years later we did not hesitate to have Peck's Office Plus supply and install our new work stations."
"As our office is dealing with recurring growth spurts, we always rely upon the Peck's Team to assist with the design, the layouts and to obtain the proper furniture. They are professional, responsive and expeditious every time. We don't look anywhere else for all of our office needs."
"I cannot imagine tackling a project such as relocating a corporate office with such efficient success with anything less than the expert abilities and know-how of Peck's Office Plus. Not only was my trust in them complete, but the pleasure that is working with this outstanding team cannot be matched."
"Professional, creative, competent, and a complete pleasure to work with. With limited and difficult space to work with, Robert transformed our office into a beautiful and useful work space."
"I'm writing to tell you quite formally how terrific you've been in helping me plan, design and furnish my new office. The typical response that I've been getting from my clients and prospects is- Wow!"
"We have been working with Peck's Office Plus for over eight years now and they have always provided great products, reasonable prices and most of all excellent customer service. We recently opened a brand new two story state-of-the-art facility in Brooklyn and needed a creative cubical design that would fit our decor and maximize our workspace. Robert and Mike W were great they worked tirelessly for weeks and came up with a high-end look that didn't break the bank,"
"I have worked with Legacy Office Solutions many times and not only because they have the best selection of office furniture. Most important is their outstanding customer service department. You will never have to worry about an item arriving defective or damaged. They inspect all their deliveries before they ship them to you. If there is ever a problem you can always reach someone who can resolve any issue on the spot. They make the process of furnishing office space hassle free. I highly recommended them."

As a former minor league catcher, Dominic Campeau knows how to give signs.
Eighteen years ago, he caught Eric Gagne before his hat became as filthy as his pitches. The two played on the Canadian national team. It didn't take long for Campeau to realize why the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Gagne as an amateur free agent that summer in 1995.
"He was throwing gas as a 19-year-old," Campeau said.
Once Gagne made the big league team, Campeau said Gagne invited him to Los Angeles often to watch him pitch.
Campeau is back in Southern California and it has nothing to do with Gagne.
Gagne, the 2003 Cy Young Award winner, has been out of the major leagues for five seasons. Campeau is still involved with the game of baseball, giving signs to high school players.
Campeau is the new baseball coach at Sage Hill School. He replaces Danny Gonzales, who stepped down after three seasons in charge of the Lightning.
Campeau said Gonzales plans to return to the program as an assistant. The two are switching roles after Campeau joined Gonzales' staff as an assistant last season.
"Danny wants to focus on getting a teaching job in California," said Campeau, who found himself in a similar situation last summer.
To know how badly Campeau wanted to teach in California, the number of schools he applied to says it all. Three-hundred schools heard from Campeau.
Only one school called Campeau with an opportunity. One school is all it took for him to leave Florida because teaching in the Sunshine State turned dark for Campeau.
"Financially it didn't make sense," said Campeau, who also needed to relocate to Southern California for another reason. "I was in a long-distance relationship. My girlfriend lived here and I was in Florida. I came to visit her last year and we were in San Diego when [Sage Hill] contacted me about a teaching job."
The rest is history as Sage Hill hired Campeau to teach history.
As for that girlfriend, she's still around. Campeau said he and Lora Carreon are engaged.
She teaches as well, working as a professor at Cerritos College. The two live in Orange with Campeau's son, Dominic Campeau Jr.
Like his father, the young Campeau is a catcher. He played varsity at El Modena High last season as a freshman and hit around .400.
While Campeau got Carreon to say yes when he proposed to her, his attempt of having his son come to Sage Hill to play for him wasn't as successful.
"I tried," Campeau said, "but he said, 'Dad, I'm happy at El Modena.'"
Campeau tried to find a replacement for Ryan Fishel behind home plate. Sage Hill lost a standout catcher in Fishel.
Last season as a senior, Fishel hit .400, finished with a .556 on-base percentage, drove in 13 runs, walked 18 times and swiped 11 of 12 bases. He earned Daily Pilot Newport-Mesa Dream Team and first-team All-Academy League honors.
Despite losing Fishel, Sage Hill expects to return most of its roster from last season. Only a couple of players graduated off a team that reached the CIF Southern Section Division 6 playoffs for the second straight season, finished 13-7 overall and placed third in league.
Campeau believes Sage Hill is primed to contend for a league title, the program's first since the 2009 season. Players who Campeau is counting on to lead the Lightning are first baseman Conner Bock, who hit .438 with 27 runs batted in as a freshman last season, and utility player Kellen Ochi, who hit .306 and went 4-3 as a sophomore, and incoming junior pitcher Parker Reposa, the staff's ace.
"This is going to be the first time that I've been an on-campus head coach on the high school level," said the 40-year-old Campeau, who has coached high school baseball for 15 years, mostly in Florida. "I know how hard it is not to be with these kids. Being here will only help us."

That's right, the treat that no one ever actually gets at Halloween is this season's Pumpkin Spice, in that I'm seeing Caramel Apple everything popping up. Sure, we had some examples from last year, but this year it has really gotten out of hand. With that in mind, we turn to our first subject, the legendary Caramel Apple Twizzler.
|King Size, because you are my fans, and want me to suffer.
|Kang and Kodos would be proud of these candies.
Oh God, what have I done? Seriously, this is all the worst parts of candy ever conceived and rolled up into terror. There is nothing apple here, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. In fact, if anyone says "Yeah, that's sort of like an apple" they are clearly evil space zombie communist vampire werewolves and need to be driven from their space enclaves. Seriously, fuck this flavor. The so called caramel fairs a little better, in that it is caramel in the same way a Sugar Baby is caramel...if that baby was barfing at the time. WHY IS IT GRITTY? When will manufacturers learn that GRITTY IS NOT A THING? The combination of both of these fucking terrible flavors is as nauseating as it is offensive to the mind. Come on Hershey's (the parent company of Twizzlers). Did someone put you up to this? DID THEY? STOP RUINING THINGS I LIKE. I ate two. I threw the rest out. I NEVER DO THIS.
On the FACE Rating System these get a Damning FOUR frownie faces, because seriously, fuck this shit, fuck the factory it was made it, and to hell with the person who thought this would be a good idea. If I never see another package of this travesty again, it'll be too soon. No one should eat this. DOGS should not eat this. I wouldn't wish these on prisoners. GAAAAAAAAAAH.

|Michael Wallace, MD, MPH
1990-91 Sarnoff Fellow
Professor and Vice Chairman of Medicine
Michael's father, Dr. Andy Wallace, was a scientist in Dr. Sarnoff's lab at NIH.
What impact did the Sarnoff Fellowship year have on your career?
The exposure to research early on in my training put the "fire in my belly" (literally, as I ended up going into gastrointestinal research).
Why should medical students consider the Sarnoff Fellowship apart from other programs?
Sarnoff offers the "whole package" of research, mentorship, and long term career development opportunities.
What are your professional aspirations?
To be able to tell my patients that we have an in depth understanding of their disease and have treatments that are curative and based on that undergoing.
What is your greatest professional accomplishment?
My first fully published first author paper, the day I finished fellowship, in the Annals of Internal Medicine. I smiled all day.
What is your most memorable Sarnoff moment?
Dinner at the Sarnoff's house in Bethesda and meeting Mrs. Sarnoff. I also very much enjoyed the link with my father's research, who worked in Dr. Sarnoff's lab at NIH in the 1950s.
What are your hobbies?
I have a wonderful wife and 3 boys with whom I spend most of my free time. We go to the beach, surf, play tennis, and run. My teenager likes to play paintball so I do that to (not my favorite, but I enjoy the time with him).

All great leaders, whether they are presidents or managers, have their own philosophies on how to lead other people and get them to work towards a common goal.
As a part of my coach education, I got the opportunity to define, express and present my leadership philosophy.
Below is my leadership documents:
My leadership philosophy – Johan Solinger – 161031
SUMMARY – My leadership philosophy – Johan Solinger – 161031
For those of you who want to have a short text version in your web browser, below is my guiding principles that I work with in my leadership as a football / soccer / futsal coach.
How do we behave towards each other?
Each player must know what is expected of him / her.
What attitude should we have towards each other?
What time should we meet?
My task as a leader is to be as clear as possible about what I expect from my players, both socially and individually on the pitch. Therefore, it is required that I, as the leader, set up clear guidelines on how the group should work for us to tighten in the same direction.
Clarity makes everyone aware of what is expected of them and what they can demand of each other and their leaders. Creativity spurred by clear guidelines.
For me it is completely unthinkable to lead without showing commitment. How will the other be able to feel alive if I as a leader have an awkward body language, monotonous voice and look like I hardly care?
To create a dedicated group, I need to take the lead and show that I want something with the group. There is a phrase in the CBT-related sports psychology that goes like "Move your ass and your mind will follow", which basically means that your thoughts can change by your actions. If I, with my whole body and voice, show what I want to achieve, the emotions and thoughts within the group will change.
I believe in a group that is committed, focused and concentrated. In this way, it will also be fun to go to trainingsessions and games.
I am the leader who decides what and how we should do things to achieve our goals. This means that I have the last word, but it does not mean that I do not believe in interaction between players and staff members.
For me, it is incredibly important that the players dare to express their opinion, given that the forum and the time is right, of course. If they do not tell us how they feel, I will never understand how they think. Therefore I try to advocate a climate conducive to dialogue.
That said, I am the leader who takes decisions, but I always have my door open and ready to listen to other viewpoints. I do not necessarily sit on all the answers, but the group together certainly does.
* * * * *
Of course there are many more things that permeates my leadership, but these three words are my main ones.
If you would like me to present my full leadership philosophy for your club / association, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or +46 763 69 09 70.

Customer Relationships: Is leaving you too easy?
When a customer leaves the fold, the tendency is to blame outside forces. They were shopping price. They had a change in personnel. They thought they could do it in house. They know someone over there. Of course any of these, and many others, could be true. Rarely, however, are they happening in a vacuum. There are other dynamics at work that have made it easy for someone to change allegiances.

Treading water can be alluring. Just stay afloat long enough and someone will come along and save you. But what if no one knows you're out there? Better to take matters into your own hands. Pick a landmark and start swimming.
Hatch Show Print: Power From Simplicity
"The Hatch poster, though, kicks with a louder boot,"
says Jim Sherraden, manager at Nashville's Hatch Show Print. And he's right. Just look at them – in all their bold, chunky beauty.
So what gives them the extra kick? Truth. Simple and unadulterated. The limits of the letterpress force clarity – in both message and hierarchy of presentation.

How Your FAQ Page Can Further Your Conversation
What is your FAQ page saying about you?
When I see FAQ pages, I read them – or at least scan them. Not only can they be the easiest way to find information, they can also be an interesting look into what web site owners believe about their site and what they offer, and what they think their visitors care about. The standard approach is the easy one – factual answers written in a plain vanilla style. But that wastes an opportunity to engage with readers as human beings rather than as robots.

The inkjet printer has evolved in recent years, to the point where you can now expect most current models to include a scanner and copier, and maybe even a fax machine too. Other common features include wireless networking, touch-sensitive controls and memory card slots for printing photos straight off a camera.
These features are now so widespread that you can even find them in low-cost models such as Epson's 'small-in-one' SX445W, which costs a mere £69.99. The latest addition to a printer's armoury is the ability to print documents from mobile devices such as an iPhone or iPad.
Most printer manufacturers now produce apps for iOS devices, though they've been a bit slower to adopt Apple's own AirPrint technology. When you're using a new printer with a Mac or PC, you normally have to start by installing the driver software that controls the device. However, AirPrint is one of those elegant Apple technologies that "just works". If a printer supports AirPrint, then your iPad or iPhone can automatically detect the printer on your Wi-Fi network, and send photos or other documents straight to the printer without the need to install any additional software or apps.
HP was the first company to support AirPrint, and its Envy 110 printer also includes HP's own ePrint feature, which allows you to print from anywhere in the world by emailing your documents directly to the device over the internet. Epson, Brother and Canon also support AirPrint, however, neither the Kodak Office Hero 6.1 nor the Lexmark Pro715 support this feature, although both companies provide apps for printing on iOS devices. The Kodak printer also includes an email printing option similar to that of the HP Envy 110.
It's interesting to note that the price range for these printers is book-ended by two space-saving compact printers – the cheap and cheerful Epson Stylus SX445W and the ultra-sleek HP Envy 110, which comes in at just under £250. Between those two extremes you'll find a wide range of different designs and features, so read on to find out which iPrinter is the right one for you.
iPad & iPhone User says...
You don't have to spend a fortune to get a printer that works with the iPhone or iPad. Epson's Stylus SX445W supports Apple's AirPrint technology and costs just £69.99. Its compact design and competitive running costs will particularly appeal to home users on a tight budget, although it's downside is that it's not particularly fast.
At the other extreme you've got HP's Envy 110. This is the sort of printer that Apple might produce – its sleek, low-profile design immediately sets it apart from its rivals, and it supports AirPrint straight out of the box. However, it has an Apple-esque price tag, coming in at almost £250, and hits you with high running costs too.
Far more businesslike are the Brother MFC-J825DW, Kodak Office Hero 6.1 and Lexmark Pro715 printers. These are 'four-in-one' models that include a fax machine, as well as a printer, scanner and copier, so they're aimed at office users rather than home users. All three are big and bulky, and cost between £160 to £199, but they're packed with features that help them earn their keep.
The Brother MFC-J825DW didn't make a great first impression as it arrived without up-to-date software for Lion, but once that was sorted out it proved a fast and efficient printer, offering good quality for both text and graphics.
The Pro715 from Lexmark isn't much to look at, but its 50-sheet document-feeder marks it out as a real workhorse. Its print quality and speed are both very good, and Lexmark's high-yield black ink cartridges provide running costs of less than 2p per page for black-and-white printing. Unfortunately, colour printing costs are well above average at 12.5p per page, so the Pro715 is best kept for occasional colour work.
In contrast, Kodak's Office Hero 6.1 provides low costs for both colour and black-and-white printing. However, it proved to be slower than we'd expected and isn't quite the office hero that it could be.
Ultimately, it was Canon's Pixma MG6250 that hit the sweet spot for us. This was another printer that required a firmware update to add AirPrint, but then it combined high speeds with the impressive output quality of its six-ink printing system. Its printing costs are a little above average, but its speed, quality and all-round versatility make it a good alternative if you want something that can cope with a heavier workload than the Epson Stylus SX445W.

Arrrggghhh Matey, are you ready for some family fun this summer? Head to Shipwreck Fest in Anacortes for a treasure hunt the whole crew will love. It is a massive community effort by the vendors, residents, businesses and the Fidalgo Island Rotary who makes this thing come true every year, which is a gigantic feat, considering the massive city blocks these antique show, craft fair, art fair and garage sales occupies.
Thirty-eight years ago, our commercial fisherman sold their used gear as yard art on Commercial Ave. "Shipwreck" has evolved into a massive community garage sale including a flea market and antique works. The event starts at 8am, but there are usually some businesses and booths that get started right at first light, just like the old-time fisherman used to. This event features over 400 vendors set up in booths along Commercial Ave while each booth brings something new and usually very eclectic and you are sure to find something that you can't live without. There is also some food stand set up that serve a variety of different and delicious treats. This event is family-friendly and is organized by the Fidalgo Island Rotary Club.
Please come by early on Saturday, July 21st on Commercial Ave in Anacortes, Washington from 8am to 4pm and don't miss out on this massive event!
If you would like any more information about other local events in Anacortes, please contact us: (360) 899 – 5027 or email@example.com.

Like an eclipse Duane Brown Jersey , it covered the sun and then gradually glided away. With no second thought, a nearby old village bloke quickly short back, ?it?s a sign, it?s a sign, didn?t I tell you Frank Clark Jersey , it?s definitely a sign?. That wasn?t a sign. That was an American Pilot, Caril Ridley, conducting a high altitude flight test using a hang glider in India. Since that day, December of 1974, and today Rees Odhiambo Jersey , February 2007, the industry has grown tremendously.Hang gliding is done by suspending an individual from the wing of the craft in a harness that is attached to the frame of the wing for safety and stability. For maneuvering Jarran Reed Jersey , there is a control bar provided for the pilot, with which he can turn right, left, lift and descend. The maneuvering is done in accordance with the prevailing wind conditions. While landing, the craft is stalled because of which the pilot can land safely on his feet.The craft can be easily transported because it can be dismantled and pack into a smaller compact form. Once on location Germain Ifedi Jersey , it can be reassembled and the pilot can strap back in the harness system. The pilot has to take a running start for the craft to get enough lift and once that?s done, hang gliding begins. Once the craft is in air, it is kept in forward motion by the gravitational pull. In addition to this, the pilot can take advantage of the wind currents to stay aloft. The glider is pulled in the upward direction by the pilot that allows the pilot to float back to the ground.Though hang gliding has a fare share of its fans, yet the fatal accidents remain its arch enemy. The craft Tedric Thompson Jersey , by its self, is a fairly safe and sturdy construction but the outside condition and inexperience of the pilot can turn it into a coffin. Otto Liliethal, the ?glider king? of Germany and the pioneer of human aviation, himself was clamed by fatal glider crash.Many countries have imposed restrictions that allow hang gliding in certain specific areas. Along with that the pilot would have to sign in a log book and prove his credentials. Such designated places have a landing zone so that the bystanders are not harmed. Although hang gliding can be carried out almost anywhere Amara Darboh Jersey , yet staying in such designated areas help minimizing the risk.
The biennial event marks another milestone for the Royal Brunei Navy (RBN). The event is one of the largest multilateral maritime exercise and aerospace exhibitions in the Asia-Pacific Nazair Jones Jersey , and is focused mainly on the defense industry.
""While Central Asia was probably never lush and verdant, it was certainly greener 23 million years ago and probably even greener in the more distant past Delano Hill Jersey ,"" said Jeremy Kesner Caves, a doctoral student at Stanford University's School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences and the lead author of the study published online in the journal Geology.
The researchers arrived at their conclusions after measuring a particular isotope, or version, of carbon in buried Shaquill Griffin Jersey , ancient soil samples. The isotope speaks to the dryness of conditions at the time of the soil's deposition. Wetter, rainier conditions allow for greater numbers of organisms, including plants a.

Iraqi forces battling their way into Fallujah have repelled a four-hour counter-attack by the Islamic State group – a day after entering the southern part of the militant-held city with the help of US-led airstrikes.
A leading aid group meanwhile raised alarm over the unfolding "human catastrophe" in Fallujah, where an estimated 50,000 people remain trapped, and renewed calls on warring parties to open up safe corridors for civilians to flee.
The dawn attack on Tuesday unfolded in Fallujah's Nuaimiya area, most of which was captured by Iraqi troops the previous day, two special forces officers said.
IS militants used tunnels and snipers, and targeted Iraqi forces with six explosives-laden cars that were destroyed before reaching their targets, the officers said. Iraqi forces suffered casualties, but the officers didn't provide details.
The officers said progress was slowed by roadside bombs planted by militants. The troops also paused to destroy tunnels in the area. The officers said 106 militants have been killed since Monday.
Fallujah was the first Iraqi city to fall to IS and is the last major urban area controlled by the extremist group in western Iraq. The militants still control the country's second largest city, Mosul, in the north.
The US-led coalition and Iranian-backed Shiite paramilitary forces are helping the Iraqi army in the battle to retake Fallujah. But the fight is expected to be protracted, as the militants have had more than two years to dig in. Tens of thousands of civilians remain trapped in Fallujah and hidden bombs are believed to be strewn throughout the city.
"A human catastrophe is unfolding in Fallujah," Jan Egeland, the head of the Norwegian Refugee Council said, adding that only one family managed to escape from the town on Monday. Since the offensive began a week ago, 554 other families have escaped from areas surrounding Fallujah, which lies 40 miles west of Baghdad.
"Warring parties must guarantee civilians safe exit now, before it's too late and more lives are lost," Egeland added. The NRC said a lack of food, medicine, safe drinking water and electricity in the city is "pushing families to the brink of desperation".
The spokesman of the UN refugee agency, William Spindler, said 624 families – or around 3,700 individuals – have fled over the past week, citing figures by Iraqi authorities.
Spindler said the UNHCR "understands another 500 men and boys over 12 years old are held for security screening" which can take five to seven days. "We understand some 27 men were released" on Monday, he said.

This woman is amazing. That's basically all I have to say here—I think I've found a new hero. There's been a lot of stuff on GT lately about how Ramaa Mosley is trying to act like this white savior—women like Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe seem to be the ones we should be listening to! I've never heard of the book or documentary featured on the Report before, and you all are a smart and informed bunch of people so I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Hidden Fire
An Australian-set paranormal drawing on the Aboriginal Dreamtime in a hot, suspenseful series debut.
Gili Adams is willing to do anything to protect her parents, even travel to Australia in search of the mythical opal, the Dreamtime Fire. But her resolve is tested when she has to enlist the help of anthropologist Morgan Hunt, the Guardian of the opal and the man who once accused her of using her feminine wiles to steal a priceless artefact. She's faced with an impossible choice: lie to the man she never wanted to lose or risk her parents' lives.
Nothing can be allowed to stand in her way... not even her own heart.
Coming Soon
She tucked her arms tightly across her chest and leaned her hip against the edge of the desk. The pose pushed her breasts high and Morgan had no trouble working out she wasn't wearing a bra. His lower body tightened in reaction at the thought of those breasts. Damn it, six years should have been long enough for his body to forget. Apparently not, but that didn't mean he had to do anything about it. She'd gotten under his skin once. No way was he letting his guard down this time around.
"Hi, Gili. Bye, Gili." He raised one eyebrow and flicked a sardonic smile at her as he pointed over his shoulder. "There's the door. Don't let it hit you on the ass on the way out."
Okay, that's totally crass, Morgan old boy, but hell, what does she expect ?
She straightened and dropped her arms, hands fisted at her sides. "Can't we even have a civil conversation, Morgan? I really do need to talk to you."
"For the life of me, I can't imagine why. Best I remember, we said all we had to say six years ago. Round about the time you tried to seduce me."
" I seduced you ?" She burst out laughing, although there was more anger than amusement to the sound. "That's not how I remember it. You trailed around after me for six weeks with your tongue just about wiping the floor. You were determined to get me into bed and everyone on that dig knew it."
"Hah, don't tell me you didn't enjoy every minute of that time. Right up to the moment when you swiped that seal ring out from under my nose."
"I. Am. Not. A. Thief," she spat out, a telling pause between each word. A rush of color flooded her cheeks and her breasts rose and fell with her rapid breathing.
As his body responded yet again, Morgan shook his head. It was her fire that had attracted him in the first place. If he wasn't careful, he'd fall into the same trap all over again. Maybe if he pissed her off, she'd get angry enough to march out in a huff and leave him alone.
"I did not steal that ring, Morgan." Her voice had softened, but was just as determined.
"No, you just provided the distraction so your partner could do the dirty work. A great scheme, I must say. You sure had me fooled."
He stared at her, at her glittering eyes and the slight wobble of her little pointed chin.
Ah, hell, he didn't mean to make her cry.
What did you mean, asshole?
He groaned under his breath. He was being a jerk, but it was the only way he knew to protect himself. He wasn't about to go through this again.
"Jeremy was my boss , not my partner. And there was no scheme as far as I was concerned. I had nothing to do with it."
"Yeah, right." Keeping his face shuttered and pulling the anger about him like a cloak, he suddenly flicked his fingers. "Hey, come to think of it, you owe me, lady. We never did finish that night of debauchery you started in Iran. Hell, I never even got to use any of those fancy, glow-in-the-dark condoms you bought. Talk about leaving a man hanging. Maybe I should start collecting now."
Morgan winced as the words tumbled out of his mouth. He sounded like an arrogant prick. Damn it, he was acting like an arrogant prick, but all he could remember at that moment was the pain she'd left behind when she'd betrayed him and disappeared.
"Oh my God, do you actually believe that crap you're sprouting?" she gasped, her face blanching.
She swallowed and dragged in an audible breath before moving closer and poking her finger in his chest. "The way I remember it, we'd no sooner arrived at the condom stage when you jumped out of bed and took off without any explanation. I lay there for half an hour wondering what the heck I'd done wrong. Only to have you return and accuse me of being a thief. If anyone was left high and dry it was me."
Damn. She was right…to a point, anyway.
"I tried to find you the next morning, but you'd left the site." He paused a moment. "Along with the ring."
"You think I'm going to stay around after that? I'm not that desperate." She eyed him up and down, a smile full of derision twisting her lips. "Baby, you looked like a good thing, but not that good."
Morgan felt the lash of her scorn. It flicked him raw. His pulse pounded in his head and common sense disappeared in a heartbeat as another burst of anger rushed through him. He whipped an arm about her waist and pulled her close, flattening her breasts against his chest.
How could he have forgotten these glorious breasts?
That was the problem. He hadn't forgotten anything, including the pain of thinking she'd betrayed him.
Before she could protest his caveman tactics, he lowered his head and captured her mouth in a savage kiss. Sensation slammed into him, driving through his blood like a bushfire out of control. Heat rolled over him, stiffening certain parts of his anatomy into almost painful proportions.
He wanted to punish her for leaving the way she had, but what started as a kiss of retribution soon softened, took on a richer texture.
Hunger rode him.
Until his legs shook and his fingers dug into her soft arms.
Wanting more, he increased the pressure, his tongue flicking at the seam of her mouth. She immediately opened to him and he submerged himself in her tantalizing taste.
With a groan, he angled his hips until his erection pressed against her lower stomach. He was right. Six years wasn't anywhere near enough time.

From the heart of the Bangrak district, my shot for this week's photo challenge is an example of the contrast that is impossible to escape in Bangkok. At times I felt like I was in a dystopian world of fiction, with the wealthy living the high life in their skyscrapers while everybody else is left to forage for themselves in the dark underbelly of the city.
Of course it isn't quite that extreme. But it's not so difficult to imagine this kind of world after you've just walked down a dirty, hot and crowded side street full of the smells of Bangkok, into a 5 star hotel with a rooftop bar to boot.
I think part of what makes Bangkok such an exciting place to be is this quite obvious and ever present juxtaposition. It's all very confusing and equally fascinating at the same time. The city is so unpredictable, your senses constantly overwhelmed no matter where you look. I've never been anywhere quite like it!
Have you visited a city with such obvious contrasts in every direction? How did it make you feel? Maybe you'd like to experience a dystopian world of fiction?! I'd love to hear from you!

Once Upon a Star Trek…
A few years back… before the first of J.J. Abrams Star Trek movies came out.. the photo's below appeared on websites…
I thought: Well, he cute as heck but he's no Kirk.
I thought: I wonder how well he will do with the Vulcan pinch?
I thought: Someone else play McCoy?! Not gunna happen!
I thought: wow just as pretty but can she really play Uhura?
I thought: What? Another Miracle Worker? I doubt it.
I thought: Wow two great smiles, but can he be as "cute" a Russian as Walter?
I thought: hmm a young Sulu? I wonder if he can fence?
And I never gave a thought to Pike!… but this one did make me wish I was younger so I could have a crush!
I thought many things.. none of which were very positive. It was one thing to do Star Trek movies but it would be sacrilegious to use the same names of the Originals!
Kirk is Shatner!
Spock is Nimoy!
McCoy is Kelley!
No way is a different face with the same name going to convince me that these were the men and woman from the "original" Star Trek that I have loved for so very long!
………….no way until Karl Urban really, really did act like McCoy.
And no way, until Karl Urban even sounded a bit like McCoy. (what's happening to me?!)
That make me look closer at the others… after all, this was supposed to be them at a much younger age than they were when we last saw them in the movies!
Hmmm.. yep.. Kirk is still arrogant.
Spock can still keep a straight face and deliver the "fascinating" line.
I will admit, different time line or not, it's still a tad hard excepting the love of Spock and Uhura… but I'm getting there.
And Chekov just made me laugh out loud with this cute Russian accent! (W-W-Wicktor, W-W-Wicktor…)
Sulu,the man who, way in the future would captain his own ship, was still learning how to take a ship out of dock.. that made me smile .
And then the miracle worker came aboard ……and made miracles!
Holy Cow! … This was really going to happen!
I was not only going to see the transformation.. but like it so much that I'd feel like I did when the originals finally got to make their own movies!! This is surreal!
How can I possibly be 34 years older (from the first movie) and still feel this way? How is it that I could hardly wait to see the next movie? This shouldn't be happening to someone MY age! I should be over all the memories of those movies and conventions! But there I was going back to that new movie and then even buying it and watching it more! *fist in air* "I curse thee J.J. Abrams!"
And then … and then… only a few weeks ago the second Star Trek movie came out. Once again I "stepped back" thinking that they can't do it twice to me….
…ok, …………………so I was wrong! (again!)
The actors all fit their parts now!
They ARE the younger of the originals!
And they are fantastic!
The best I can say about Mr. Pine, Mr. Quinto, Ms Saldana, Mr Urban, Mr. Pegg, Mr. Cho and Mr Yechin is this:
If this were the very first Star Trek I ever saw (referring back to the old television series) I would have fallen for them all as much as I did the Originals.
Never in my life did I think I would say such a thing.
Is it because I am old now? Or is it just because this group of actors carries off everything Roddenberry had envisioned his crew to be…and every bit as well?
Deep breath, …………. Wow.
Thank you Gene Roddenberry for your wonderful gift ..
And Thank YOU, J.J. Abrams, for bringing Star Trek back to life and making me love it every bit as much as I loved the Originals!!
Now.. if you will all excuse me.. I have to leave … I am going back to the theater to see My Crew …. and to flood my mind with memories, both old and new!
addendum: I didn't post this before I left. I've seen Star Trek for the 4th time.. can't wait for the dvd to come out!!!
