Turkey Tail Mushroom: Immunity And Breast Cancer
Shortly after watching a Ted Talk video a few months ago, I decided to start taking Host Defense TURKEY TAIL MUSHROOM capsules. The Turkey Tail is a predominant mushroom found in woodlands around the world, and it seems some of the best help for medical problems could be right under our feet, or growing on a nearby log! In a breast cancer clinical study by NIH (National Institutes Of Health), they found that organic Turkey Tail mushrooms provided by Paul Stamets, helped base immunity function. You can read an article by Paul Stamets about the clinical study and the benefits of organic Turkey Tail mushrooms here. Since I had a diagnosis of breast cancer earlier this year. I want to follow what are safe methods of treating, and preventing any dis-ease within the body, and that is by using natural methods. Especially good when these natural methods and substances are proven in scientific studies. Hello mushrooms, my new best friend.
My doctor Joel Fuhrman M. D. has also recommended eating a lot of mushrooms, greens, seeds, onions, beans, cruciferous vegetables, and berries, as part as his G-BOMB nutrition advice to prevent cancer. You can read about the G_BOMB list here on his website, filled as always with a great deal of good sound nutrition information for everyone, even if you don't have cancer. If you change your diet now, maybe you will not be the one out of every three people, who do get cancer these days. In addition, here is an article by Andrew Weil MD also talking about mushrooms, cancer, and immunity. Yes, it seems mushrooms are all the rage in the medical community! It's a good thing I like mushrooms! I feel with their texture, they can be a good substitute for a meaty feel in some recipes. I used to have a problem digesting mushrooms, but now with my digestive system being changed by my clean eating this past year, I have no problem eating mushrooms at all.
Below is the Ted Talk video, it's short, sweet and to the point. Give it a listen!
Now I buy fresh shitake, cremini, or portobello, mushrooms every week to eat along with my onions. Of course I have greens in my juices and salads, beans in my soups and hummus, and I have berries every morning in my smoothies. From what I have read, it seems the more unusual mushrooms have the more powerful medicinal effects, but everyday mushrooms like white, cremini and portobello mushrooms have wonderful healing qualities too. Please note that the mushrooms should be cooked, and not eaten raw. (Since the findings are not complete on the eating raw mushrooms issue, Dr. Fuhrman says to always error on the side of caution until there is enough scientific evidence to do otherwise. So he recommends eating them cooked at this time.)
I read on the Fungi Perfecti website that you can even place sliced mushrooms out in the sun during the months of June to September for two days to increase the viability of Vitamin D delivery to your body. I am going to start doing that this summer! Guess I will have to put some netting over them.
On the days I do not have fresh mushrooms to eat, I take two organic HD TURKEY TAIL MUSHROOM (vegetarian) capsules. I plan on also trying the Fungi Perfecti Host Defense My Community and Fungi Perfecti Host Defense Stamets 7, Mushroom Blends as well, since these other mushroom species may contain beneficial properties that may be helpful to my body as well. I sent away for the Paul Stamets Fungi Perfecti catalog, and really enjoyed looking through all the ways to grow your own mushrooms at home. I think I will probably also try do that, as it looks like a fun activity! By the way, that catalog is overflowing with all things mushroom! Love the name Fungi Perfecti!
It would be wonderful if you would check out the video below, which is an important talk by Paul Stamets about the world of mycellium. You will find that mushrooms have some amazing qualities, which could actually benefit humanity with some of the major problems we have in the world... and... even with the ants around our house! Here is a link to when Paul Stamets talked to NPR about Small Pox defense and mushrooms. This world of mushrooms is crazy cool! Paul's latest book is called Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World and goes into a greater depth of information about the information in the video below. I hope some of the people who control the world are paying attention. This is information we can use!
Wow! All in all, there is so much to learn about the magical worlds of mushrooms! I suggest you start doing some research into medicinal mushrooms, and see if they might be helpful to you too. There are mushroom products that will help improve the soil you use in your own home garden to grow your own veggies as well. If you are thinking about getting started in growing your own supply of Medicinal Mushrooms here is the book Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms by Paul Stamets to get you started. Really, don't you think Paul must be a true wizard of the Earth?!!!

UK death metal legends Carcass are back with their first album in 17 years, "Surgical Steel." Fans of the band of old know how important they were to the metal scene from their grindcore work to their melodic death metal. Arch Enemy would not exist in its current form if not for Carcass. Opuses like "Heartwork" and "Swan Song" are loved in the metal community (as they should be).
With the dawn of 2013, comes their latest effort, "Surgical Steel," and Carcass seems to have not missed a beat. From the opening intro 1985, they begin with a grandiose, albeit brief, introduction leading into Thrasher's Abattoir, which goes back to Carcass of old and their grindcore sound. The first two track end up being a nod to old school Carcass with 1985 being the year that Carcass was formed by by guitarist Bill Steer and drummer Ken Owen. Thrasher's Abbatoir was the title of Carcass' first original composition. It can be found on their old 1985 rehearsal tape that used to circulate underground. The current version of Thrasher's Abbatoir is an altogether different song now though.
Once those two opening songs are complete, Carcass shifts right back to the Carcass that more are familiar with. For those in the know with Carcass, they basically had two versions of the band. Their early releases were grindcore tracks about as extreme as anything done back at that time. Around 1991, they made a drastic shift in sound to more of a melodic death metal sound. The majority of metal fans are very familiar with these later album as they are more accessible to listeners.
Beginning with Cadaver Pouch Conveyor System, Carcass' shift is still heavy, but focuses on their more melodic sound. The Master Butcher's Apron is an excellent example of that with some truly great guitar riff and a on of nice melodic playing surrounding the death metal riffs. A Congealed Clot of Blood incorporates more strong riffs and some familiar grooves that Carcass has always fully utilized.
While Swedish guitarist Michael Amott of Arch Enemy fame is long gone, his contributions to Carcass' sound can still be heard in their later works which are still being used in "Surgical Steel." Carcass' sound is still so fun that you cannot help but have fun with their music.
Surgical Steel Track Listing:
1. 1985 (1:15)
2. Thrasher's Abbatoir (1:50)

Marvel Releases Q1 Numbers - Flat, But Beats the Street
Marvel today released its Q1 2009 numbers, and its profit beat market estimates due in part to the strength of the licensing segment of the company and, according to Marvel, continued demand for DVD versions of Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, which Marvel produced.
First-quarter net income for Marvel fell to $44.5 million, or 57 cents per share, down from $45.2 million, or 58 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue rose 75 percent to $197 million. According to Reuters Estimates, market analysts were looking for earnings of 37 cents a share, excluding exceptional items, on revenue of $138.2 million.
Publishing revenue for the quarter decreased $0.7 million to $25.8 million, down from $26.5 million a year earlier.
From Marvel's Q1 report:
Marvel Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: MVL), a global character-based entertainment and licensing company celebrating the 70TH anniversary of its founding in 1939, today reported operating results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2009. Marvel also today raised the low end of its financial guidance for 2009, reflecting a stronger than expected first quarter performance in its licensing and film production segments and a decline in the anticipated full year tax rate.For Q1 2009, Marvel reported net sales of $197.0 million and net income of $44.5 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to net sales of $112.6 million and net income of $45.2 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, in Q1 2008. The year-over-year increase in net sales is principally the result of $90.4 million in film production segment revenues associated with The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man feature films released in Q2 2008 and also reflects a stronger than anticipated licensing contribution in Q1 2009. Q1 2008 benefited from $19 million in settlement payments from two licensees.
Marvel's Chairman, Morton Handel, commented, "Strong Q1 results in our licensing and film production segments reflect the power of our corporate and character brands and solid demand for Marvel-branded consumer products and the home video versions of our Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk feature films.
"Further evidence of the broad appeal of our characters is reflected in the recent success of two new Marvel character entertainment projects. This past weekend, Twentieth Century Fox's X-Men Origins: Wolverine generated approximately $158 million in worldwide box office receipts including an estimated $85 million in domestic box office, the largest domestic opening weekend of 2009 to date. In addition, our new animated television project, Iron Man Armored Adventures, recently debuted as the most watched series premiere ever on Nicktoons. The debut of Iron Man Armored Adventures marks the third Marvel character animated series currently airing on domestic television. This tremendous launch demonstrates the popularity of the Iron Man brand which will be further developed by the release of Iron Man 2 in 2010. Our Marvel Studios division recently commenced principal photography on this project which will be supported by a comprehensive global marketing, promotional and merchandising campaign. While contributions to Marvel from X-Men Origins: Wolverine and our animated projects are relatively modest, their strategic value lies in the brand recognition they create with a growing global fan base, providing a foundation to further develop these and other brands in the future."Licensing Segment net sales of $80.8 million were higher than anticipated primarily reflecting strength in interactive games and royalties from better than anticipated worldwide licensee sales. As anticipated, Licensing Segment net sales declined versus Q1 '08 reflecting a $24.5 million decrease in sales from the Spider-Man feature film merchandising joint venture with Sony as well as lower Marvel Studios entertainment licensing revenue than in the year-ago period. These declines were substantially offset by higher contributions from Domestic and International Consumer Products which in aggregate rose by $30.3 million compared to the prior year period. Licensing Segment operating income was $58.9 million in Q1 2009 with an operating margin of 73%. Q1 2008 Licensing Segment operating income and operating margin benefited from $19 million in settlement payments from two licensees in connection with the termination of their respective interactive license agreements that were recorded as other income.
As anticipated, our Publishing Segment net sales decreased by $0.7 million to $25.8 million in Q1 2009 from $26.5 million in Q1 2008, principally reflecting lower levels of advertising revenue, offset in part by a modest improvement in the Mass Market channel and higher average selling prices initiated in Q4 2008. Marvel's major publishing events for 2009 will take place in the second half of the year. Operating income declined by 29% on a year-over-year basis to $7.0 million in Q1 2009, reflecting $1.0 million in investments made in Marvel's digital media initiatives as well as the reduction in advertising sales. As a result, the Publishing Segment operating margin was 27% in Q1 2009 versus 37% in Q1 2008. Marvel continues to target Publishing Segment margins in the range of 31%-35% for the full year 2009.The Film Production Segment recorded sales of $90.4 million in Q1 2009, roughly two-thirds of which related to revenue from sales of The Incredible Hulk DVD released October 21, 2008. The balance of the revenues are principally related to sales of the Iron Man DVD. Against these revenues, we amortized capitalized film production expenses of $71.0 million (based on Marvel's estimate of each film's expected "ultimate" performance), contributing $15.5 million to operating income. Marvel had no film production revenue and a $2.0 million operating loss in Q1 2008, primarily reflecting non-capitalized film-production expenses. Under the category All Other, we had operating losses of $7.8 million and $5.8 million in Q1 2009 and Q1 2008, respectively. All Other in Q1 2009 included no revenue or operating income compared to $1.5 million in revenue and $0.7 million in operating income in Q1 2008 related to our in-house toy operations which have been terminated. Corporate overhead in Q1 2009 and 2008 was $7.8 million and $6.5 million, respectively. Balance Sheet and Cash Use Update: As of March 31, 2009, Marvel had cash and cash equivalents of $83.3 million, restricted cash of $131.3 million and no outstanding borrowings under its $100 million line of credit with HSBC Bank. Aggregate outstanding film-related borrowings declined to $61.9 million at March 31, 2009, from $213.0 million at December 31, 2008, reflecting the repayment of film slate facility debt using Q1 2009 cash receipts primarily related to The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man DVD sales in Q4 2008 and Q1 2009. During Q1 2009, the Company repurchased 694,235 shares of its common stock for a total of approximately $16.4 million ($23.63 per share). The Company has $111.3 million remaining under its share repurchase authorization.

2009 Financial Guidance:
Marvel today revised its 2009 financial guidance to reflect a stronger than anticipated Q1 2009 operating performance and a decline in its anticipated full year tax rate. Marvel has raised the low end and high end of its net sales guidance and the low end of its net income and diluted EPS guidance ranges to $450 - $485 million, $86 million and $1.10, respectively.
Primary Assumptions for 2009 Financial Guidance:
• The Licensing segment is expected to contribute net sales of approximately $200 million - $215 million in 2009 with an operating margin of approximately 66 - 70%.
• The Film Production segment is expected to contribute revenues of approximately $135 million - $145 million in 2009 and to generate an operating margin of approximately 12% - 18%.
• The Publishing segment is expected to contribute net sales of approximately $115 million - $125 million in 2009, with an operating margin of approximately 31% - 35%, reflecting approximately $6 million in ongoing investments in digital media initiatives.
• Corporate overhead is expected to approximate $34 million in 2009.
• Marvel anticipates a 2009 effective tax rate of 37.5%.
• Marvel's guidance is based on 78.2 million diluted shares for 2009 and does not reflect any future share repurchase activity.
Marvel cautions investors that variations in the timing of licenses and entertainment events, the timing of their revenue recognition, and their level of success result in variations and uncertainty in forecasting Marvel's financial results. These factors could have a material impact on year-over-year annual and sequential quarterly results comparisons as well as on Marvel's ability to achieve its financial guidance.Click here to read the full report with tables.

The Remarks of the Rector of ISI Yogyakarta
Modern Art`s Debt to Primitive Artists
Indonesia Primitive Art
Made Gde Putrawan
Pendiri Puma Museum
It all began from my love of artwork, which eventually led me to being an art collector, of not only paintings and statues but also primitive art. Initially I collected artwork as an investment, but then I fell in love with my collection, and I have never wanted to sell any of it even though I got some very high offers.
My love of and pride about Indonesian art has been boosted even more since I participated in art auction for Indonesian primitive artwork overseas. In fact, our primitive artwork is fantastically appreciated there and prices can reach up to billions of rupee.
On one occasion I met Haji Daeng Iskandar who is an art dealer, very well known in the trade of primitive artwork overseas. Daeng has close relations with art collections including Jean Paul Barbier, the biggest collector of primitive statues in the world. He is also the owner of the Barbier-Mueller museum in Switzerland. During that encounter, Daeng mentioned that Jean Paul Barbier had wanted to found a museum dedicated purely to Indonesian primitive statues. I was surprised hearing that, and was inspired to gather up my collection to be put into a museum. Originating from this dialogue, finally a museum was founded and called
This museum will be officially opened on 31 December 2004. This enterprise will certainly be successful because of the support from all of the people whom I will not be able to mention one by one. In selecting the artwork which is displayed in the museum, I was helped by my friends who have experience in this field including Haji Daeng Iskandar and Wahyono Martowikrido (the Head of the History and Archeology section on national Museum in Jakarta)
To add the value of the museum, we agreed to display I Made Wiradana's paintings on the front wall of the museum building. I Made Wiradana is a painter whose work has been inspired by primitive art depicted on ceramic murals. For these reasons, I would like to thank to all of the people who have been involved and supportive and motivating so that PUMA MUSEUM could be established to express my love and care for my own people's artwork. Finally I hope that the museum can help the government to preserve a part of Indonesian culture.

Five Main Characteristics Of An Effective Essay: Tips To Keep In Mind
Essay writing plays a vital role in examining a student's knowledge and research abilities. It has become an essential part of academic life. Essays give tutors an opportunity to evaluate not only students' knowledge of a given subject, but also their ability to express their thoughts effectively. Writing an essay helps you go beyond what was talked about in class and dig deeper into an interesting subject.
Unfortunately, many students write poor essays because they do not know how to create this type of scholarly paper. There is no magic formula that will suit each and every kind of paper and will help you write a great text every time. Nevertheless, there are some key features that each successful essay possesses. If you want to learn how to write academic papers successfully, take into consideration these five characteristics of an effective essay.
- Well-organized and well-developed.
- Answering a question.
- Unambiguous.
- Logical.
- Grammatically correct.
The paper establishes the main idea in the introduction, then develops it in the main body, and finally summarizes the discussion in the conclusion. Each paragraph should also have a clear structure with the main point given and supported. Remember to make smooth transitions between paragraphs. Before writing your text, define its structure, what the main idea will be and how you will develop it in your writing.
Ultimately, to develop an essay you need to ask a question and find an answer to it. Everything you are researching and writing about is done in order to give an answer to this question. Remember this and always make sure you keep your argument to the point and are not deviating from the main idea.
It should be completely clear about what you are writing about. Your text needs to be to the point and without unnecessary details that fill in space but do not bear any meaning. Your reader should not be wondering what the point of your paper is and trying to find some rhyme and reason in your writing.
Support your main point with suitable details, illustrations and well-researched evidence. Use examples to back up your ideas. Do not make unsupported claims.
Use words and phrases that are appropriate for the style of the paper. It is imperative that your text is free of any grammar, punctuation or usage mistakes. Make your text readable and clear. Reread and edit your paper a few times before submitting it.

Readers hungry for more Stieg Larsson will find much to laugh about in this clever, tongue-in-cheek adventure starring Gotilda Salamander and Jerker Rhindtwist.
When Olaf Gedda is found dead in his rose garden, his friend and fishing buddy Salamander is arrested and accused of firing the fatal shot. Her prints were found on the bucket of worms beside the body, so who else could it be? Salamander's old flame, journalist Rhindtwist, makes some inquiries and discovers that a few others had motive as well—the lawyer Manfred von Otter, the butler Henrik Paulsson and the business partner Gunnar Hakanson. Salamander escapes from jail to better conduct an investigation of her own via computer, and manages to snare the murder weapon while trying to take a break from the stress of being a hunted criminal. With the help of solid research on Rhindtwist's part, and well-planted karate kicks on Salamander's, the efficient duo finds its way to justice, Swedish style. Groome has done substantial homework and adeptly recreates the quick pace and clipped tone of Larsson's supremely popular books. He proves himself clever at planting the same type of benign character clues—the copious amounts of coffee consumed, the frequency of sex between Rhindtwist and his managing editor—that Larsson also uses to excess. The few times Groome's characters branch off their worn paths feel slightly false, such as when Salamander cries in front of the police. Also, Groome shows his writerly hand too much when he follows certain plot lines—"Salamander was stumped and thought that spending a little time fishing might clear her head." (Her prototype would never have admitted to being stumped.) Groome's spoof highlights what millions love about the Larsson books—fast-paced action and smart, unconventional heroes—and pays tribute to what drove at least a few of those fans a little crazy—occasionally flat dialogue and tedious moments of explanatory connection.
A fun farce that will either anger or delight the throngs of hopeful Larsson fans.

In the historic market town of Corsham you'll find independent shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs, peacocks roaming freely and maybe even Captain Poldark! The BBC filmed the hit television drama in the High Street, which doubled as a bustling eighteenth-century Truro. The town was also used as a location for the film Remains of the Day, starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.
Corsham is at the south-western edge of the Cotswolds and eight miles northeast of Bath. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, with a historic High Street made up of mellow, Georgian stone buildings, Corsham was historically a centre for agriculture and later, the wool industry. It remains a focus for quarrying Bath Stone.
It contains several notable historic buildings, such as the Flemish Cottages, built in the seventeenth century to house a group of Flemish weavers and the Hungerford Almshouses. You will also find the beautiful Corsham Court.
Set in Capability Brown designed gardens, Corsham Court is one of England's finest stately homes, based upon an Elizabethan Manor dating from 1582, and is home to the resident peacocks! The interiors are laid out as a suite of magnificent Georgian Staterooms, the work of leading eighteenth and nineteenth century architects.
An ideal base away from the city of Bath and with good transport links to explore the surrounding area, Corsham also has a unique and vibrant arts centre, The Pound, a bustling hub of music, theatre and art.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Linlea from Bring back the Weekender Tank! This fabric is way too hot for the Florida heat and humidity, it may be nice under a cardi in the cooler season but for Summer wear it's like wearing a plastic bag. I miss the Weekender tanks.

Rated 4 out of 5 by paulette1 from How about a grey and a soft camel I use these all the time as layering pieces but they are thin so I don't tend to run around in them without an over blouse outside of the house..

Rated 3 out of 5 by Cardi Girl from Check the Material Carefully While these tanks are the typical Talbots quality, I was expecting a mostly cotton tank like the Weekender tanks of the past. Instead these are stretchier and dressier thanks to the modal material and much too hot for popping on under breezy cardigans or wearing casually with a pair of five-pocket jeans. I'm with another reviewer — bring back the Weekenders.
Date published: 2019-05-06
Rated 1 out of 5 by Happy from Defective I ordered my usual size and both armholes were a little large. The one was not only large , but misshapen, like it had been stretched out. No way to wear this on its own. I bought it to wear under sheer tops, as the rose quartz is a perfect color for my skin tone. I also only paid $5 for it so for my purposes I will keep it. It is silky feeling because of the modal and feels good on, but the shape, the mis shape I should say!

Repeat issue. Why are the itchy tags placed on the back? For this reason, I will not be buying.
This versatile tank is created to be worn with the neckline of your choice and the logo/size tag is lightly 'tacked' into place providing easy removal. The item is not 'tagless' because the stamped logo and size would show through.

Will this be available in other colors? Love this tank!
The pima cotton tank (P804886) is shown online in 7 colors.

On the Senate trail, Kirk explains cap-and-trade vote
Posted by Oscar Avila and Jeff Coen at 4:58 p.m.
Republican Senate candidate Mark Kirk, who has touted himself as a centrist for months, got a taste today of the doubts that linger after modifying some of his positions in line with his party's right wing.
Democratic rival Alexi Giannoulias appeared in Chicago with five liberal groups that had supported the Republican congressman in previous races but now say that his shifts to the right led them to endorse Giannoulias.
At a town hall in Warrenville, meanwhile, a skeptical Navistar employee asked Kirk what assurances he could offer that he would maintain his newfound opposition to the so-called "cap-and-trade" legislation that would place limits on carbon emissions and also impose penalties on some fossil fuel suppliers. The employee said the bill hurts manufacturing companies like Navistar.
Kirk infuriated many conservatives by voting for the legislation in June 2009. A few months later, Kirk said he would oppose the measure in the Senate.
In Warrenville, Kirk repeated previous explanations that meeting with business owners all over Illinois helped him better understand the legislation's harm.
"We make a lot of errors in Congress, not out of malice or corruption. It's out of ignorance and lack of understanding of how a $14 trillion economy operates," Kirk said. "As I traveled Illinois, I quickly saw the kind of damage that legislation would cause industries that were not heavily present in my congressional district: heavy manufacturing, agriculture, mining. I had to make a choice between higher employment in my state or sticking with the old vote. "
With Kirk amassing a 22-percentage-point lead among independent voters in the latest Tribune/WGN-TV poll, Giannoulias has cited Kirk's shift on cap-and-trade and his stance on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of the U.S. military as proof he is not as moderate as he appears.
"Just tell people where you stand," Giannoulias said at Thursday's event. "Tell people where you are."
At the event, representatives of Planned Parenthood, the Illinois Education Association, the Sierra Club, the League of Conservation Voters and the Human Rights Campaign echoed the attack in explaining why they no longer support Kirk after backing him in his 2008 run for Congress.
Ken Swanson, president of the 130,000-member teachers' union, cited Kirk's vote against federal stimulus funding for more teaching jobs.
"We didn't leave Mark Kirk," Swanson said. "Mark Kirk left us."
At the same time, Democrats are trying to siphon votes from Kirk's right by saying that he is not conservative enough. Libertarian candidate Mike Labno said Wednesday night that supporters statewide have received Democratic mailers touting Labno's pro-life stance.
The Kirk campaign said that being attacked from the right and the left further confirms that he is a true centrist.
Also Thursday, the candidates continued to clash over Giannoulias' pledge during a Wednesday night debate that he would "go positive" in his television ads until Election Day. Speaking to union members at Rockford's airport this afternoon, Giannoulias again referenced his decision and claimed that Kirk was going to go all negative in the final days.
"It's because at the end of the day, he's got an indefensible record in Congress," Giannoulias said.
Kirk told reporters that his spots would be a mix of positive and "response" ads. He called Giannoulias' effort a "cynical" ploy, given that Democratic allies from outside the campaign will "do his dirty work" by continuing to run negative ads.

Colombia is a predominantly Catholic country, and on December 8th, the people celebrated the Immaculate Conception by lighting candles outside their homes, which were already brightly decorated with lights for the Christmas holiday. The candles are a signal to guide the Virgin Mary to their homes.
There was a wide range of ways the candles were displayed, from lining them up along a 2×4 to placing them inside paper bags and boxes with holiday designs on the outside. The latter two options posed an obvious fire hazard, however that didn't seem to be a big concern.

About Steven C Wyer
Recognized as an expert in online reputation management, Steven Wyer knows how online slander and misinformation can negatively impact one's business endeavors and personal life. Steven Wyer learned first hand that while the Internet is a powerful tool upon which to build a business, it can also be a dangerous web that catches and perpetuates half-truths and misinformation.
A few years prior, one of two nationally successful debt acquisition firms that Steven Wyer helped found was involved in litigation surrounding claims that its capital generating methods were questionable. The allegations brought his firm in front of the SEC. A Federal judge exonerated Steven Wyer of the charges but that piece of information was buried several pages deep into the search results. Steven Wyer had a problem - the charges were visible but his innocence was well hidden.
Also missing from Google's golden first page of results was the fact that Steven Wyer was honored in 1999 as a Nashville Chamber of Commerce Hall of Fame inductee and that he held memberships in many respected organizations, including the National Association of Securities Dealers. Steven Wyer'sEmmy for television production was invisible. Steven Wyer's former business, Wyer Creative Communications, LLC., had earned the respect of powerhouses like H&R Block and CTX but potential clients of his latest ventures would never find this information.
Shortly thereafter, Steven Wyer founded Reputation Advocate to combat these negative entries with more relevant, truthful information. He has since helped hundreds of others from all walks of life do the same. In his recently published book, Violated Online, Steven Wyer tells gripping true-life stories that illustrate to the reader that no one is immune from unexpected web attacks. The book offers detailed information on how to prepare for such a circumstance and to protect one's reputation from being violated online..

Predict Euro 2016 and Win a Cool £1m with TonyBet
The countdown to Euro 2016 has begun and the first of the bookmaker's promotions are starting to come in. Few, however, will be as generous as the offer from the TonyBet review which promises a £1m prize fund for anyone guessing the outcome of each match.
You don't have to place any qualifying bets to enter and as long as you aren't working through any current betting bonuses with the operator, you can get involved just by buying a ticket for £3.00. Once that ticket is purchased, head to the specific promotional page where you must make your predictions.
First thing to do is to look at the groups that are shown at the top of that page and decide which country will finish where in each of those sections. That will give you the games for the first knockout phase which you should enter into the relevant boxes provided.
Now pick the winner of those games and move forward to the quarter finals, the semi finals and then on to the final itself which takes place in Paris on July 10. If you prefer, you can hit the button marked Auto Fill and the system selects at random and fills in the page with a lucky dip entry.
Predict each box correctly and you will win a share of that £1m prize pot and of course, if there are no other winning entries then you can keep the top prize all to yourself!
There are a lot of games to predict and it will take all your skills as an analyst to make the right calls but if this were easy, there wouldn't be such an amazing prize on offer. From an outlay as low as £3.00 it has to be worth a punt to win a million!

Marc Guggenheim has devoted much of his time in recent years to DC Comics-based TV series "Arrow," but he's back at Marvel in August for a stint on "X-Men," as first revealed by IGN.
Guggenheim's run starts with issue #18, following the departure of initial series writer Brian Wood. An interior artist has not been announced for Guggenheim's story; Matteo Buffagni is solicited to draw Wood's final arc.
Guggenheim told IGN that the book will retain its all-female cast, with the "same concept, same conceit" as Wood's run. "My goal is to pick up where Brian left off," Guggenheim said. "It's not going to be this radical change. It should be a very nice, even, easy transition from his last issue to my first issue."
The four-part story will take place in space, with S.W.O.R.D. enlisting the X-Men's help after Shi'ar warrior Deathbird arrives at the Jean Grey School "at the brink of death." Guggenheim said the story was partly motivated by his own nostalgia.
"The Brood Saga grabbed me as an early reader," Guggenheim is quoted. "I didn't want to do another Brood story, because Chris Gage had done 'Children of the Brood,' which was fantastic. But I liked the idea of taking this all-female team of X-Men and putting them in outer space. In doing something that was a little different than 'The X-Men meet Star Wars,' this was more along the lines of "The X-Men meets Aliens.' It's darker, it's a little more mysterious, and it's scarier."
Guggenheim has an extensive background in both comics and television. Prior to his current role as executive producer of "Arrow," he wrote multiple comics for both Marvel and DC, including the "Civil War" tie-in issues of "Wolverine," "Young X-Men" and "Justice Society of America."
Wood took to Twitter to curtail potential speculation surrounding his departure: "I left the title on my own accord, no drama, no pressure, just moving on."
Keep reading CBR for more from Guggenheim on "X-Men."

This is the story of over 100 years of Audi innovation. The story of doing things that have never been done before. And doing them until they're perfect - from the very first Audi ever built, to the Audi 100, quattro® all-wheel drive, ASF® space frame technology, the iconic TT, motorsport, and beyond.
It's the story of doing the impossible, and it still holds true today. The inspiring words that help tell this story are from the poem, "It Couldn't be Done" written by the late poet Edgar Albert Guest.

The logo has been changed and modified about five times, but the concept has remained the same. Its first version was introduced in 1959. It was the brand's name handwritten in pink. Font style is the only thing that has changed since the brand's inception.
The current Barbie logo is just another version of the very first one. It is just the name written in a hand-drawn typeface.

So, the new school year is underway for me. The first week went well & I'm very excited about the new school year.
Today, I'd thought I'd give you a peek inside my classroom & how I set up for the beginning of the year.
As you walk in, this is what you see towards the right. My seating arrangement is in rows that face one side of the room towards the other. This way, it allows for space in the middle of the room so I can get to the back of the room quickly & easily. It also makes it easy for students to work with a partner or form groups. I cut out the "Bienvevidos" (Welcome) letters with my Cricut.
This shot gives you a peek at the far left side of the room. At the far left is my desk area. I have two long banners of papel picado that hang across the room.
This is a shot of the far right side of the room.
This is a shot from the back of the room looking towards the front. The little table in the middle is where I have my projector & laptop.
And here's my desk. I had to take a pic of this because it won't look this for long! *Ü*
Speaking of teacher gifts...
Here are the gifts I made for the teachers in my department.
Then I filled them with some treats.
Here's a closer peek at it.
The first day of school is such a busy day, we may not even have a chance to eat lunch until after school. So having a few treats to munch on during the day, helps hold us over until we can sit down to eat!
Thanks so much for peeking!

Older people leaving hospital: a statistical overview of the transition care program 2009-10 and 2010-11 presents key statistics about transition care services provided to older people directly after discharge from hospital. The Transition Care Program aims to improve recipients' independence and functioning, and has assisted nearly 52,000 people since it started in 2005-06, including 18,000 individuals who received just under 20,300 episodes of transition care in 2010-11. The report includes for the first time an analysis of trends since the program's establishment, and an examination of the final outcomes of people receiving consecutive episodes of care.
TCP assisted nearly 52,000 between 2005–06 and 2010–11 through 60,500 episodes of care
In 2010–11, 3,350 places were available and the average occupancy rate was 82%
Some 18,000 people received care through TCP during 2010–11—and 56% of them improved in functioning
Over the 6 years, more than 60% of people left the program with an improved level of functioning

There are already less than two months left for the November midterm elections in the United States. The Tea Party, a fiscally and culturally conservative political movement that has been changing the political scenery in this primary season, proved that its messages are as operative as they can be following the Alaskan primaries last week.
The star of the movement, Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2008 general elections, endorsed an unknown candidate, named Joe Miller, who ended up beating incumbent Senator Lisa Murkowski. Palin also is taking a trip to Iowa for a Republican fund-raiser this week, a state that is first to hold a contest in the 2012 presidential campaign.
Glenn Beck, right-wing radio and TV commentator, also attracted hundreds of thousands of people last weekend for his "Restoring Honor" rally, and was joined by Palin in Washington. The excitement that is going on among Republican voters reminds us of Obama rallies just two years ago. Obama, who came to power to change "business as usual" in Washington, is now being accused of being the biggest obstacle on the correct course of the country, by this crowd.
The political analysts and poll numbers show us that the Democrat Party will have to endure serious losses in November. The terrible state of U.S. economy has been hitting the Obama administration the hardest, and brings down his and his party's approval ratings and morale. While Obama hosted the Israeli and Palestinian leaders in Washington this week for "direct talks," he did not even get his due credit for the achievement. The American public wants their president to focus on fixing the economy now, and nothing else.
Even closing the chapter on the Operation Iraqi Freedom, a nicer name for a war that caused more than 100,000 Iraqis and 4,000 American troops to die, was not as glorious as one would have expected.
The weakening Obama presidency has already some and is expected to have more upshots regarding its potency to fully control the foreign affairs, including the one with Turkey. One of the negative effects of growing skepticism over Turkey's posture in the region, was reported first in the Financial Times, which argued that there is a healthy opposition in the U.S. Congress against selling arms to Turkey, a message that was delivered to Turkish PM Erdoğan by Obama.
During my long conversations with the senior staff this week from the Armed Services Committee at the House of Representatives, I was told that the U.S. Navy has a goal of replacing or building 313 ships before the fiscal year of 2018, and currently it is well below these numbers. And that is why the subcommittee chairs have been reluctant to decommission any ships to other foreign countries, including Turkey.
Arms sales decisions to foreign countries of the U.S. administration are to be approved by the House of Representatives' Foreign Relation Committee, and so far the committee's officials have been non-responsive to inquiries over the issue. Turkey's ambassador to Washington, Mr. Namık Tan, denied news reports that claimed there was an arms embargo on Turkey or there is a serious crisis between the two countries.
Nevertheless, the opposition comeback in the November elections will leave a feebler executive branch in power and this will not to Turkey's advantage. We already are witnessing a U.S. administration that is having difficulty countering moves or actions that keep coming from the Congress over Turkey affairs. The biggest burden for the Obama administration of this congressional resistance so far is the block on president's ambassadorial appointment to Turkey.
Turkish diplomatic sources stated very recently that they collected optimistic impressions during their meetings in Washington over the ambassadorial stalemate, and that they are expecting this veto to be lifted when Congress reconvenes, as opposed to those D.C. insiders who still bet on otherwise.
On the other hand, there has been an apparent rapprochement between the state of Israel and Greece in recent times, the leaders of the countries visited each other's capitals, and for some experts, the honeymoon between the two was to rock Turkey's balance in the region. While there is plenty argument over the effectiveness of such an alliance against Turkey, the lobby forces of both countries in the U.S. are forging their relations.
The American Jewish Community, or AJC, sent an eight-member group to both Greece and the Greek Cyprus just last week, and had high-level meetings in both countries. In Greece, the group met with Prime Minister and Foreign Minister George Papandreou, Defense Minister Evangelos Venizelos, State Minister to the Prime Minister Charalambos Paboukis; in Greek Cypriot with President Demetris Christofias, Foreign Minister Markos Kyprianou, and senior Defense Ministry officials in Cypriot.
I talked to David Harris, the executive director of AJC this week and asked him whether AJC's recent visit to these countries and better relations with the Greek lobbies should mean that the AJC and other Jewish lobbies are converging their strength with Greek forces. The American Hellenic Council ran full-page ads in the New York Times last month and was able to match those of Jewish and Hellenic messages and demands in the same title: "Time for Turkey to 'Flotilla' its troops off Cyprus."
Mr. Harris stated that AJC's visits to those countries did not happen for the first time, and denied such claims that they are ganging up against Turkish interests in Washington, and added that currently the AJC does not take a position on a possible Cyprus reunification resolution if it were to come to a committee vote.
Leading co-sponsor House members of the previous Cyprus reunification resolutions from 2007 have avoided giving updates on the matter so far, considering the House is still in recess. According to Ali Cinar, vice president of Assembly of the Turkish-American Association for Northeastern region, there is a very little chance for such resolutions to come to the relative committees for a vote before the November elections. Cinar believes that congressional members will be too busy on their campaign trails to talk about the local economic issues and how to create more jobs rather than spending time to collect more signatures for matters that sound like international affairs.
Taniel Koushakjian, director of the grassroots for the Armenian Assembly of America, argued the opposite. "I beg to differ on the subject and would argue that for the same exact reasons, members of Congress will be more open to pass such resolutions, such as the Armenian "genocide" resolution, to satisfy particular constituencies that in return would vote for them as a whole block," he said. And this is why his organization will continue to push hard for the resolution.
The hot summer of Washington was unusually busy for Turkey watchers for a number of reasons. Now that Turkey, a non-permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, took over the council's presidency Wednesday and will head high-level U.N. meetings during its one-month term, and the international diplomacy season opens up its curtains, along with the U.S. Congress coming back from its recess, the U.S.-Turkey relations might continue to look like a roller-coaster experience for all of us.

Thank you for visiting the California Partnership for Long-Term Care website. We've created this website to provide you with an overview of the Partnership program and to answer your most frequently asked questions.
The State of California and the California Partnership do not sell long-term care insurance policies. However, we've included a page that lists the private insurance companies that are approved to sell Partnership policies in California. If you don't have long-term care insurance for yourself, your spouse or your loved ones, we urge you to meet with a qualified agent who can more completely describe the Partnership-approved policies and discuss which policy could best meet your needs.
Only a Partnership approved policy can help pay for the care you may need and provide you with lifetime asset protection, so that even if you use all your policy benefits and need to apply for Medi-Cal benefits, you will not be forced to spend everything you have worked for on long-term care.
A Partnership policy truly provides the independence you want...just when you'll need it the most.

A motherboard which allegedly belongs to the next generation iPhone has leaked online. It looks quite similar to the one found on the iPhone 5.
The Apple iPhone 5S is one of the most hotly anticipated smartphones of this quarter. Apple is expected to unveil the device this September, alongside a budget offering called iPhone Lite. The company is yet to confirm its release schedule for its upcoming smartphones. Nevertheless, in the meantime we get to see a lot of parts and components leak online that are allegedly from the unreleased device. In this particular case, we're looking at the motherboard, which is without a doubt a very essential component of the upcoming smartphone.
There's always a shadow of doubt that can be cast on these components, one can't be certain if they are indeed the real deal. This particular component was leaked by iHospital, a repair shop based in Hong Kong. From the looks of it, the iPhone 5S motherboard is similar to that of iPhone 5. This doesn't come as a surprise, considering the fact that rumors suggest iPhone 5S will be quite similar to the iPhone 5. The upcoming smartphone is expected to have a nominally faster processor with 2GB of RAM, a fingerprint sensor and a 12 megapixel camera.
The iPhone 5S is likely to be unveiled at an event in September, rumor has it that due to production issues, it is possible that the device might not be available for shipping until early October.

Once you've optimised your website copy, you'll find that the most important part of optimisation happens off the page – where links from external sites back to yours play a vital role in telling Google and other search engines how important your site really is.
Link building works best when you have a one-way link from another quality site to your own. You can try all sorts of tricks to build up the number of links you have, but to maximise your results concentrate on obtaining links from quality sites.
Of course quality links are not that easy to get! But many companies have an under-used resource that could generate hundreds if not thousands of quality links. That resource is public relations.
Good public relations and the online practice of link building are natural bedfellows. First, because the dynamics of each is remarkably similar and second, because when used in tandem with important keywords in mind, they can produce spectacular results:
- Public relations is the process of building a company's reputation, largely through the use of positive media coverage.
- Link building is the process of building a web site's 'reputation' by getting links from relevant and respected web sites.
The processes share some important features:
- Success cannot be guaranteed
- Relationships and industry knowledge are important
- You've got to give up some control
- Results can be spectacular
More news sites are writing about and linking to external web sites of all kinds. What better source of a quality link? Not only will these media outlets have large audiences, but they will be spidered frequently by search engine bots.
And the search engines can be confident that the link and the website that it points to is legitimate. To get there, it had to pass through the eyes of a reporter and an editor.
Who better to get such valuable links than PR professionals? Yet how many times do the PR team and the SEO team sit down together?
Not often, if these examples are anything to go by:
1. Last year, Waitrose did a story on a new range of 'ugly fruit'. Fruit that was perfectly good, but just didn't look good enough, and was being sold at a discount. The story was covered here at the BBC and got a valuable link back to Waitrose.com.
Doing a search today on waitrose "ugly fruit" gives over 300 results. But not one of those results comes from Waitrose.com and the BBC link turns out to be the exception rather than the rule. The story failed to generate links because there was nothing to link to – no story on the Waitrose site, no report, no press release, no corporate blog post.
Lesson: While stories in traditional media are fleeting, online stories continue to generate interest and web traffic for many months, even years afterwards. But you need to have content on your site to capture that interest.
2. In Scotland last week, the Sunday Times carried a feature article based on research carried out by the Glasgow Solicitors Property Centre,"What Buyers Really Want".
The report itself was newsworthy with a bit of controversy throw in. I for one wanted to know more and searched for the full report online – it was nowhere to be found.
Lesson: A press release based on the results of a report will generate interest not only from the public, but from other interested journalists wanting to check the story out, or find a different angle they could write about themselves. So publish the report on your site for maximum PR advantage.
3. In the US recently, insurance company Nationwide.com published an interesting report. The press release's title read 'Nationwide survey shows startling number of Americans guilty of DWD' .
Now this headline tells the reader (or the search engine) nothing to indicate what the report is about. After reading it becomes clear that DWD is 'driving while distracted', a phrase that according to Wordtracker, gets just 5 searches a day.
Lesson: Thousands of stories now compete for the attention of busy journalists and they want to see what the story is all about immediately. So don't use words that aren't meaningful and do use keywords that give at least a clue to what the story is all about, and even better attract search engine traffic, especially from journalists researching stories.
There are important strategic insights for public relations professionals and those who engage them:
- News stories stay online – your news item can still be read with great interest months after the event.
- The links the story creates not only bring people themselves but also boost your search engine traffic.
- Online stories can spread like wildfire. Issue a press release online and it can be taken up and commented on minutes later.
- Smaller niche sites assume a greater importance. They're read by people who are passionate and informed, not just interested – and the links they bring can be even more valuable than those from mainstream media.
To get the maximum return from any publicity effort, PR people and SEO people need to meet together and look for the synergies that can be created through their respective disciplines.

Brazil has one of the largest prison populations in the world. The country's jails are largely controlled by powerful criminal factions with access to drugs, mobile phones and weapons.
And the Police in Brazil have arrested a drug lord accused of ordering a deadly prison riot on New Year's Day.
Picture text : Vieira is believed to be the Red Command leader in the state of Goias.
Nine inmates were killed and 14 injured during the unrest at a prison in the central state of Goias.
Stephan de Souza Vieira, 34, was seized a luxury flat in the state of Rio de Janeiro. He had been on the run from the jail since November.
He is a leader of the Red Command criminal gang with drug interests across Brazil, police say.
Vieira, also known as BH, had been serving a 26-year sentence for drug trafficking when he escaped from the Aparecida de Goiania jail.
Police say that he controlled gang inmates from outside the prison and gave orders for armed members to start the riot.
They attacked a rival gang in a separate wing of the prison and set mattresses on fire.

More than 100 inmates escaped during the riot. Dozens remain at large.
Vieira was arrested in a flat in the seaside resort of Cabo Frio.
He was found with a substantial amount of cash, jewellery, several mobile phones and notebooks with details of drug trafficking transactions.
Brazil prison riots... What's the cause behind them ?
Riots are common in Brazilian prisons, which are notoriously overcrowded.
Brazil has one of the largest prison populations in the world. The country's jails are largely controlled by powerful criminal factions with access to drugs, mobile phones and weapons.
A report by judicial authorities in 2016 described security at the rural penitentiary on the outskirts of the state capital, Goiania, as bad.
According to the report, the prison - part of a larger complex - was built to house 122 inmates, but at one point it held 423.
A few years ago, another rebellion broke out in the Provisional Detention Center (CDP) located in the Penitentiary of Rhinestones, in St. Louis.
According to the General Superintendent of Penitentiary Administration, the riot was caused due to the rivalry between members of the same faction, and left three others stabbed and decapitated.
August 25, 2014 5:56 am
Four inmates killed two beheaded in Brazil jail riot.
Inmates rioting for better facilities in a Brazilian jail killed four fellow prisoners, decapitating two of them, and took two guards hostage, officials said.
Negotiations to resolve the standoff were to resume Monday, with 60 percent of the jail still under inmate control overnight, said Elson Faxina a state judicial spokesman.
Officials have cut water and electricity to the enclosure, Faxina added, saying police officers were guarding the prison to stop the riot from spreading.
"A group of prisoners took six inmates hostage; they killed four and have injured two. They also took hostage two guards," he explained.
"Their demands are about facilities; it is an older building and they want food brought in."
But Faxina said there may also be an element of the uprising linked to a fight between drug trafficking factions. "The fact that prisoners took hostages would reinforce that view," he said.
There were no numbers on how many inmates were involved in the uprising, but local media said around 77 prisoners were transferred because they were threatened by the rioters.
The uprising took place in the Cascavel state correctional center in the southern city of Parana that currently holds 1,140 prisoners, he said.
"A group of prisoners rebelled during breakfast and took two officers hostage. Then they beheaded two prisoners," a civilian police agent assigned to the jail, Miguel Llanela, told AFP earlier.
According to news portal G1, the two other prisoners were killed when they were thrown off the roof of the buildings.
"Negotiation are likely to be prolonged, and I hope things are resolved verbally without using physical force," an advocate for prison staff, Jairo Ferreira Filho, told a local radio station.
Meanwhile the prison workers union said in a statement that lack of funding meant there was no regular maintenance of the facility.
"The prisoners say the food is bad, there are no lawyers to work their trials, no basic hygiene materials, few correctional officers," the statement added.
"All these factors together are a tragedy waiting to happen."
In Brazil 548,000 people are currently in prison and there is a need for 207,000 more spots to prevent overcrowding, according to Conectas, an organization specializing in inmate rights.
In May, inmates at a maximum-security prison in northeast Brazil took four guards and more than 100 visiting relatives hostage overnight, ultimately releasing them in a deal that saw the transfer of 16 inmates to other prisoners.
Brazilian authorities have promised the population to fix the problem with overcrowded prisons, but yet, nothing has really happened.

I decided one polish that might look great layered over Vampire's Dessert would be the gold/copper holo polish that is Austin Powers and there is also little bronze bits of glitter through this polish, which you can see in the close up of my shorties, but anyway, I am so glad I tried this, it is a real eye catcher!
Don't worry, I will show you Austin Powers in all its glory in another post but for now here is 1 coat of the Knight, 1 of Vampire's Dessert, 1 of Austin Powers and 1 of the Shield.
I hope you like this layering as much as I am loving wearing it, I am now on day 3 and still going strong.
You may not see a new post on here the next few days as it is my birthday tomorrow and I am going to spend the weekend celebrating so may not be near my computer.
But as always, you can buy Enchanted Polishes from Llarowe and Harlow & Co.
The products in this post were sent to me for review.

T-shirts are not in limited supply on the internet. Throw a virtual rock, and you'll hit five custom T-shirt building sites, including algorithmic ones with millions of mostly-nonsensical messages.
So why start yet another T-shirt website? Apparently, to make T-shirt buying a social event, or even a cause.
"TeePublic is a Kickstarter for t-shirts," BustedTee general manager Adam Schwartz told me on the phone today. "I think when people are backing Kickstarter campaigns, they're often backing a cause … who's behind it and what they're doing it. There's something powerful about feeling like you're connecting with and supporting the artist."
Schwartz and Josh Abramson, who founded Vimeo as well as CollegeHumor, the hilarious but raunchy site for, yes, college humor, are launching TeePublic out of public beta tomorrow. And while it would appear that gaining traction in this extremely competitive market is a very tall order indeed, they have differentiation and, frankly, a plausible plan.
The plan?
Find the best and most interesting artists, designers, and internet celebrities. Feature any t-shirt from those or any other designers for 30 days. Keep only the ones that sell at least 30 copies. Feature those winners on the site more prominently. And then … pay designers $5 for each shirt sold.
It's about quality and crowdsourced curation, Schwartz said, complete with the now-familiar crowdfunding standbys like how many people are "funding" the shirt, how many days are left in the campaign, and a progress bar. But it's also about building a platform for designers to actually make a living.
"Very obviously there are a lot of sites out there," he told me on the phone this afternoon. "But the thing we saw is that even if you can get a shirt or two up on Threadless, it's a nice coup, but it's not sustainable. We're trying to attract a certain level of designer, trying to attract quality."
And … trying to make designers more than a few bucks for a latte on the weekend.
Abramson sold BustedTee — along with CollegeHumor and Vimeo — Barry Diller's InterActive Corp in 2006. But IAC is about "billion-dollar companies," Schwartz says, and media companies at that. So Abramson bought BustedTee back from IAC in the summer of 2011. The site has been growing "at a nice rate" ever since, but it wasn't the place or the platform for a "kickstarter" for T-shirts.
"The T-shirt market is really crowded, and filled with low-quality content," Schwartz says. "We're finding stuff we think is awesome."
