Faculty Research Interests
Tobacco Cessation
Claudia Barone, EdD, RN, LNC, CPC, CCNS-BC, APN
My research program involves tobacco cessation. The first area of interest is in training health care providers in the delivery of evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies to patients. This research includes education of health care providers on brief motivational interviewing, counseling, cessation strategies and pharmacotherapy for cessation through pre tests, post tests and 6-month follow-up surveys assessing knowledge and self-efficacy.
A second research focus revolves around establishment and data collection of patients seen in a tobacco cessation clinic. These patients will be assessed using an evidence-based tobacco cessation questionnaire and from the results, develop an individualized, evidence-based tobacco cessation plan. This research is interdisciplinary involving the Colleges of Health Professions and Medicine and the clinic is location in the UAMS Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute.

Congestive Heart Failure, Quality of Life, Symptom Management
Seongkum Heo, PhD, RN
My recent research interest areas are quality of life, self-care, and symptoms in patients with heart failure. I have examined factors affecting self-care, symptoms, and quality of life, and the relationships among the factors. I have conducted studies examining the effects of modifiable factors including psycho-social and behavioral factors on symptoms, quality of life, and hospitalizations and mortality. Psychosocial factors include depression, perceived control, and social support. Behavioral factors include medication adherence, dietary adherence, and symptom management. I have been involved in development and delivery of dietary and meditation interventions to help patients with heart failure self-manage their diet, physical symptoms, and psychological symptoms, and, in turn, improve quality of life effectively.

Psychological and Psychosocial Effects on Trauma
Sara Jones, PhD, ARPN, PMHNP-BC
I am interested in the psychological and psychosocial effects on individuals who experience trauma, as well as perpetrate violence. My previous research focused on assessment and treatment of individuals convicted of sexual offenses. Specifically, I have used neuroimaging to explore the neurobiology of juveniles who sexually offend.
My new program of research explores the mental health needs of first responders, specifically EMT/paramedics and firefighters. When considering the nature, frequency, and intensity of daily, duty-related traumatic exposures, first responders have a significant risk of developing mental health problems. However, they are apprehensive to report problems or ask for help regarding them because of the stigma associated with mental illness and culture of self-reliance. My research is the first to use a community-engagement approach and qualitative design to explore their perceptions about help-seeking and use of mental health services. Findings have the potential to provide foundational data for the eventual development of a mental health program that will be accessed and valued by first responders.

Heart Disease Prevention & Physical Activity Interventions for Older Adults
Leanne Lefler, PhD, Adult/Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist-BC, APRN
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the major killer in the United States, affecting over 17 million with a cost estimated at $2 billion annually. Of all diagnoses, spending for CHD is predicted to escalate as the baby boomers retire. My research focuses on the prevention and early treatment of CHD in older adults. I have examined the accuracy of older, racially diverse women's perception of their personal risk for heart disease, understanding of cardiac risk factors, and the factors that promoted or hindered their attempts at modifying cardiac risk factors. With an interdisciplinary team, I also examined medication adherence in older women with CHD and described typographies of veterans with heart failure concerning values and needs at end of life.
I have conducted quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method research and worked in the church community, acute care and primary care environments. Currently, my interdisciplinary research team is conducting an NIH-funded randomized controlled trial aimed to promote physical activity in older, community dwelling women. We are also involved in feasibility work to determine best methods of conducting research involving physical activity interventions in older adults. I remain very interested in improving the health and well-being of older adults and have published widely on these topics. I also lead the education mission of the College's Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence, a center dedicated to improving the health of older adults and their caregivers, and improving the capacity of nurses to teach and care for older adults.

Oncology supportive care; Sleep deficiency in vulnerable populations
Ellyn E. Matthews, PhD, RN, AOCNS, CBSM
Sleep is a critical determinant of health and well-being. Yet, roughly 30-40% of U.S. adults report sleep deficiency, defined as a deficit in the quantity or quality of sleep obtained compared to the amount needed for optimal health. Using quantitative and qualitative approaches, my funded program of research focuses on the biobehavioral aspects of sleep deficiency in cancer survivors and other at risk populations such as Veterans with traumatic brain injury. My studies have addressed sleep deficiency in racial/ethnic minorities, women throughout the lifespan, and others who are disproportionately affected by consequences of inadequate sleep. Our publications and presentations have tackled the methodological challenges of using data from sleep diaries, and established and innovative devices to measure activity and rest. My ultimate goal is to improve quality of life through better symptom assessment and improved sleep self-management tailored to vulnerable populations, particularly in the South. Certifications in behavioral sleep medicine and advanced oncology nurse specialist are evidence of the clinical expertise that inform my research.

Women and Heart Disease; Psychiatric Disorders and Stress in Veterans:
Risk Factor Modification
Jean McSweeney, PhD, RN, FAHA, FAAN
Women continue to have difficulty receiving early diagnoses of coronary heart disease (CHD) and tend to have advanced CHD when diagnosed. I have been investigating women's early warning and acute symptoms associated with CHD in order to promote early recognition of CHD symptoms. We have recently completed two grants, one funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research, and one by the UAMS Translational Research Institute. These grants focus on predicting which women will have a CHD event in the next two years based on their symptoms, risk factors, and biomarkers. We use an instrument in these studies that we have developed and refined with previous research funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research. Our goal is to further refine this instrument and include the most predictive symptoms and biomarkers based on these 2 studies. Our next proposal will test the predictive ability of our revised instrument in a diverse sample of women. I have also conducted research in other areas of cardiac research including cardiac rehabilitation, heart transplantation, and heart failure. I also have appointments with the Veterans' Administration and the College of Public Health and serve as a co-investigator on a variety of grants. These studies focus on veterans with posttraumatic stress syndrome, families of returning veterans, rural health access, obesity, and food selection and availability. I am very interested in tailoring bio-behavioral interventions. I am also involved in the UAMS Translational Reserve Institute. I use both qualitative and quantitative methods in my research endeavors.

Neonatal Pain and Stress Management
Anita Mitchell, PhD, RN, FNP-BC, APN
My research focuses on preterm infants and infants with congenital defects or who are ill and may undergo multiple painful procedures daily. The pain of these procedures as well as the stress of being in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) may result in adverse physiological and neuro-developmental consequences. Clinical research lays the foundation for evidence-based practice to prevent and relieve pain and stress in neonates. We are engaged in research to test the effectiveness of alternative forms of pain and stress management such as kangaroo care, massage therapy, administration of 24% sucrose, and gentle, low current electrical stimulation. We are also studying the physiologic effects of routine procedures such as eye exams for retinopathy of prematurity.

Arthritic Pain; Tai Chi in Elders; Dementia
Pao-Feng Tsai, PhD, RN
Alice An-Loh Sun Endowed Professorship in Geriatric Nursing
Many persons with dementia suffer from chronic pain that may exacerbate existing cognitive impairment and lead to further suffering. Inability to communicate pain poses great difficulty for pain management in persons with dementia; consequently, their pain tends to be under-treated. Since pain management depends on adequate assessment, it is necessary to find a valid tool to assess pain in this vulnerable elderly population. Therefore, my first NIH funded project, was to study pain behaviors as an objective measure of osteoarthritic knee and/or hip pain. The long term goal of this project was to develop an assessment model that predicts osteoarthritic knee and/or hip pain in elders with severe dementia. My second NIH funded project was to study the effect of Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese martial art, on osteoarthritic knee pain in elders with mild dementia. Many elders show symptoms of osteoarthritic knee while they reside in the community and still actively engage in many social functions. Pharmacological interventions have limited effects and produce serious side effects. Therefore, it is important to identify an effective non-pharmacological intervention to reduce their osteoarthritic knee pain. Our findings showed that Tai Chi is effective in reducing knee pain in this population. My future research will focus on comparing the effectiveness of Tai Chi and other exercise for reducing knee pain in this population.

HIV/AIDS, Substance Abuse, and Mental Health
Patricia Wright, PhD, MPH, RN
My research focuses on HIV prevention, drug use, and mental health. There are wide disparities in HIV and AIDS rates among African Americans and Whites, especially in the South. Drug use has been recognized as one of the driving forces in spread of the epidemic as well as a major barrier to service utilization. I have used qualitative and quantitative methods to examine individual, structural, and contextual barriers and facilitators to HIV testing among rural African American cocaine users, and to integrating HIV testing in substance abuse treatment and other community locations from the perspectives of drug users and providers. Such knowledge is especially needed in the rural South, where the HIV epidemic is growing rapidly. One of the major findings from this study is that many rural African American cocaine users assume they have been tested for HIV as part of routine care. We do not know at this time, however, if this passive testing phenomenon is prevalent beyond this sample of rural African American drug users, perhaps extending to urban drug users or the general population. Future research will investigate the extent of passive testing assumptions in this high-risk population and among others, as well as examining racial/ethnic, gender, and generational differences in risk behaviors, risk perception, and HIV testing. I also collaborate with investigators from the College of Public Health where I serve as project director and co-investigator for a clinical behavioral trial of a sexual risk reduction intervention among rural African American cocaine users. I am very interested in access to health services and factors that influence use of health services.

text: Effective immediately, CNYMS will use the following process for qualification and starting positions. The Open Draw with Passing Points system will still be in effect at all shows on the A Verdi Storage Containers / CNYMS tour. The process that will change will be the order in which the "A" main will be lined up. The top 16 in heat finishes utilizing the passing point system will lock directly into the "A" main. The top 12 or half of the field will then use the redraw system to set the first three or four rows for the "A" main. If the top 4 finishers from the tours previous race are in the top 12 they will automatically be placed into the 12th to 9th positions with the previous race winner starting 12th and the 4th place finisher starting 9th. If the top 4 finishers do not qualify into the top 12 spots they will then start in the order in which they gain heat passing points. If one of the previous week's top 4 does not get into the draw it will then allow for others to fill into the 5th or 6th rows.

Connecticut Mover Review by Nelly
Yesterday, Fallon movers were prompt (arriving early) ready to move our items from storage to our new home. They were professional, courteous and friendly. They even helped clean up the storage site without being asked. I highly recommend Fallon to my friends and family. Moving is so stressful and it was great not to have to worry about movers!

Physical abuse may involve hitting, shaking, throwing, poisoning, burning or scalding, drowning, suffocating, or otherwise causing phyiscal harm to a child. Physical harm may also be caused when a parent or carer fabricates the symptons of, or deliberately induces, illness in a child. (1.33, Working together to Safeguard Children, 2010)
Physical abuse may involve hitting, shaking, throwing, poisoning, burning or scalding, drowning, suffocating, or otherwise causing physical harm to a child. Physical harm may also be caused when a parent or carer fabricates the symptoms of, or deliberately induces, illness in a child.
The extent of physical abuse is hard to establish, but is believed to be underreported. A report commissioned the NSPCC estimated that 7% of children were physically abused by their carer. See Child Maltreatment in the UK: A study of the prevalence of child abuse and neglect – NSPCC Cawson et al 2000.
Physical abuse can lead to neurological damage, injury and, in extreme situations, death. Although physical abuse can be particularly dangerous for babies and young children – e.g. shaking a child can cause major injury or death – its impact, both in terms of physical and emotional wellbeing is of major concern for children and young people of all ages. Physical abuse is a traumatic experience to any child who is victim of it or who witnesses physical abuse within their family environment.
Physical abuse may be particular prevalent in households where there are issues of domestic violence or drug and alcohol abuse.
Physical abuse of children has been linked to aggressive behaviour, emotional and behavioural problems and educational difficulties.
In June 2009, a report commissioned by the Department for Children Families and Schools, concluded that the effectiveness on many of the interventions used in practice in cases of physical abuse have not been well studied. However, the report authors felt that there is strong evidence that parent-focused interventions that concentrated on improving parenting skills and parent-child interactions are effective in reducing inappropriate parenting, improving positive skills and reducing child problem behaviour. For children being looked after as a result of physical abuse, treatment foster care (involving training in behaviour management and intensive support for the foster carer and behavioural and therapeutic input for the child) appeared to be effective in improving outcomes for maltreated children.
For further details see Systematic Reviews of interventions following physical abuse: helping practitioners and expert witnesses improve the outcome of child abuse, Montgomery et al 2009.

Happy Holidays and 2nd Blog-Anniversary
Well, its that time of year again where snow is upon us and houses are filled with families celebrating the Holidays. 2 years ago I started this blog while working as a systems admin at a small company finding my path in the IT world and posting lessons I've learned along the way. Over the past 2 years my career has grown from a virtualization and Windows admin to working as an Operations Engineer for a hosting company primarily working on Linux systems and various hypervisors. I've now found myself in a DevOps role as a cloud engineer working on high availability cloud architecture for household name entertainment companies. Blogging has been a passion of mine throughout my career as i have relied on the blogs of others as well as documentation to find my way out of difficult issues. For things I've run into that weren't terribly intuitive I felt it my responsibility to contribute back to the community in hopes that I can save someone else the same headache I went through to fix an issue. As I come to the 2nd anniversary of the blog I just want to say thank you to all who have come here and read posts and wish all of you happy holidays and happy new year. Also if you're an IT professional I highly encourage you to blog and contribute back to the community, even if you feel like you don't have much to contribute, I guarantee you do.

The industry faced decline and consolidation within the 1930s due to the Nice Despair During the Second World Battle , the Canadian sector gave itself over to wartime manufacturing, and few non-navy autos have been produced. Indeed, Canada's motorized vehicle business played a key position in producing lots of of 1000's of navy automobiles and other tools, and serving to to win the struggle.
World Battle II was a tough time for the corporate. W.C. passed away and his son Bruce took over. Sugar was in such short supply in the course of the struggle that the corporate had to shut down. After the warfare, business was good, but Bruce died of a heart attack in 1949. W.C.'s widow Florence and Bruce's widow Rhea decided they would hold the enterprise going.

Assalamualaikum. Hello :)
I always adore and of course, appreciate whenever people help me in studies, especially when it comes to numbers and calculations. The way they show their concerns, patience and efforts in making me understand clearly what I supposed to catch up, I truly respect.
Honestly, I am super duper 'clumsy' with numbers and calculations. To be true, having an all time love-hate-relationship with those things are truly annoying. I am able to understand but I know my limit as well. I need ample time and slow steady explaination so that I can understand each and every single thing in details crystal clear.
Most of the time, I ask a lot of easy peasy questions with blurry-minded and innocent-naive-face of mine. And the best part is the feedback I get between two probabilities, in a sense of either a good way or the other way round. Frankly speaking, it's very heartbreaking the way people ignore or even not fully deliver answers and explaination with honesty.
You can see it, you can feel it. The honesty. Well, it shows! Thank you for that and I apologize for burden you with my slow-mo understanding which is sooooooo distracting. Sorry!
To sum up, I create a not-so-metaphor-hiperbole-kinda-statement and do you ever feel the same way or it's just me?
Bila ilmu di dada tak dikongsi,
Keberkatannya mungkin kurang.
Bila ilmu di dada simpan syok sendiri,
Orang sekeliling pun kurang senang.
Apalah sangat kalau terlalu nak lokek ilmu, sombong tak mahu beri tunjuk ajar.
Bukankah ilmu itu jika diajarkan dan dikongsikan akan menambah dan menguatkan lagi ingatan?
Cukup tak faham dengan kebanyakan orang yang ada sifat sebegini.
Lokek ilmu.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will reportedly start this Sunday.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo's fractured left collarbone has healed and he will start against the Dolphins on Sunday, reports ESPN's Ed Werder.
Romo sustained the collarbone injury in Week 2 and has missed every game since. Dallas placed Romo on short-term injured reserve after the injury, making Week 11 the earliest Romo could return.
• Week 10 Sour Rankings: Drew Stanton lets loose, Favre's bizarre congrats
Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassell started in place of Romo for the Cowboys, who have lost seven straight games. At 2–7, Dallas is in fourth in the NFC East, three games behind the first-place Giants.
In two games this season, Romo has thrown for 551 yards and three touchdowns with a 98.8 passer rating. Romo has a career record of 77–48.

"A present?" Rogue echoed. "For me?"
"Sure," Sue said. "Let's do it now. The reception is almost over." She took Rogue by the hand. "The rest of you come too."
The group took the elevator to another floor. As they stepped out, Kitty realized in shock that they were in the FF's private residence area. Sue led them into what appeared to be her own bedroom. After sitting the girls on the bed, she retrieved a silver bracelet from her dresser. "This was custom-made for you, Rogue. I'm sorry it's not very Gothy, but we didn't know that was your style. That's my fault, though. Reed just did the tech part."
Rogue looked surprised. "Tech part? Of a bracelet?"
"It's way more than a bracelet. From what Professor Xavier says, it should have a pretty big impact on your life. He's the one who asked us to make it. Well, mainly Reed, but I picked the style. Put it on."
Bewildered, Rogue did so. "Now touch my face." Rogue reached out her hand, but Sue stopped her. "Uh, uh. Without the glove."
"I can't do that."
"You might be surprised. Take off your glove and touch me."
Since Sue was so insistent, Rogue reluctantly did so. To her astonishment, nothing happened. She simply felt Sue's face. No jolt, no absorption, no memory transfer, no power transfer. "What the…? The bracelet is doing this?"
"Yes. It's temporarily nullifying your power. Reed said the best analogy is being grounded."
Kitty giggled. "Usually being grounded is a bad thing."
Sue smiled. "Not this time. It works with everyone, Rogue. Touch someone else."
Rogue touched Kitty, then Jean. "Fuck me!"
"That's actually possible now."
Rogue was a little stunned. "So I just wear this all the time and I can be like a normal person? And take it off when I need to use my power?"
"No, that's backwards. You can't use it for long periods of time. The constant strain causes it to run hot and it will eventually burn your wrist. So most of the time you will need to continue with the gloves. But when you want human contact for a few hours, you can have it by putting on the ground. Like shaking hands at the reception. Or in the bedroom. You can have sex all night, but you have to break it up and let the ground cool in between."
"God damn!" Rogue exclaimed. "I can live with that!"
"I thought you might. Since you won't be wearing it that much, it doesn't matter if it isn't your style."
"Piss on my style. I'd wear a fucking tuxedo with a tiara and bunny slippers if it meant I could touch people."
Sue laughed at that picture. "Anyway, the girls are here. Give it a shakedown. Lie down on the bed."
Rogue followed directions, lying in the middle of the bed. She was trembling with excitement as the x-girls surrounded her.
"I have to finish off the reception," Sue said. "But I'll check on you girls later."
"Wait!" Rogue exclaimed. "I didn't thank you!"
"You can do that later, Rogue. For right now, enjoy yourself."
Kitty was disappointed when Sue left, but hopefully there would be an opportunity with her later. But the focus right now was Rogue. She was thrilled that her friend would finally have a chance for unrestricted sex.
Kitty started off the Roguefest by kissing her. After avoiding skin contact with Rogue for so long, it was disconcerting to seek it out. But as with Sue, nothing happened. It was just like kissing anyone else. Kitty deepened the kiss, using her tongue. Rogue's inexperience was evident. She had never done this with anyone but Amara, and even that on a limited basis. Kitty looked forward to bringing her up to speed, especially enjoying the idea of a younger girl teaching an older one.
Jean pulled Rogue's boots and socks off, then massaged her bare feet. Even that was a new experience. The other girls slowly undressed Rogue, lightly touching whatever was uncovered. The Goth girl writhed under all the unfamiliar sensation. "Ohhhhhhh, I love this!" She just laid there and let them do whatever they wanted to her, at the same time keeping her own hands in motion, handling whoever and whatever she could reach.
Amara sort of hung back. She and Rogue had been together many times, so she wanted to give the others a chance with her. However, it was a new experience to touch Rogue with impunity, even for her, so she lightly stroked a thigh and let the others concentrate on the really fun stuff.
By now Rogue was naked, and the other girls had finished undressing each other as well. Rogue had the second biggest pair of tits amongst the teen girls at the mansion, so everyone was curious how they felt.
Rogue elected to say fully female during this session, so that she could get the multiple orgasms. She didn't want to waste any of this opportunity waiting to reload her rifle. Not to mention the possibility of double penetration. The other girls switched over to a dick, then played with it with one hand while fondling Rogue with the other. Or they played with each other's dicks, but Rogue still got the other hand.
Rogue was in sensory overload, after going from virtually no physical contact straight into an orgy. Jean was kissing her, Tiffany and Amara were sucking her tits, and Kitty was eating her pussy. She fondled one of Jean's tits as they kissed. In the same way that the younger girls had wanted to experience her own tits, she had been longing for Jean's. "Let me suck it." The phrase "more than a mouthful" definitely applied to Jean, but Rogue tried to get as much into her mouth as she could. Then Jean let her slobber up the other one, while squeezing the first.
Rogue rolled over into a doggy position, then Kitty shoved in her dick. At the same time, Jean presented her dick at the other end. Rogue took it in her mouth. As with the kissing, she was a little awkward. She hadn't had as much experience sucking cocks as everyone else. If fact, she had only been doing it since the Rogue Wave, because she hadn't been with anyone who had a dick before that.

When I opened my eyes this morning, a great view was waiting for me without even having to turn my head. I didn't expect it, since I arrived at night and had never seen the park in the morning. That's when I saw how beautiful it can be. The low sun brought warm hues and long shadows to every rock formation jutting up from the ground below. I scanned the view tracing the horizontal bands of sedimentary strata that continues from pinnacle to pinnacle.
I ventured a little further out to setup my next camp. I stayed in those long shadows as much as I could, but that frustratingly consistent sun rose higher and the shade receeded, leaving me to bake in the 109 degree day. Hiking out here and trying to stay cool has been as hopeless as treading water in the ocean and trying to stay dry. So I had a lazy day of reading and sunburning.
Once the sun finally begun to set, the temperature dropped thirty degrees and the location of my second camp gave me a perfect view of the sunset. If the days were this cool, the Badlands would be paradise, but there are two more days over 104 degrees, so I think I'll get back in the car and move to the next spot on this trip. I still don't know where that will be.

you are invited to follow my blogReplyDelete
Nice to see a photo of you. Good to have you in the typosphere, and you are in fact a writer -- you're writing, aren't you?ReplyDelete
@ Steve, Thank you. Your blog is now on my blog roll. Nice blog.
@ Richard, Thank you, I'm a bit out of shape and my funny sox are showing. I was doing yard work and quit due to the wind, kicked off my boots and started cleaning typewriters. Now, back to yard work (never ceases in FL (unless one hires a landscape person))
Wish I had taken Typewritting1 more seriously in the9yh grade back in 1958. I wouldn't be typing with my index fingers if I had.
I write and maintain a spiritual blog which I have titled "AccordingtotheBook" and I'd like to invite you to follow it.
Thanks for the typecast.
That Underwood 4 has character and your type slugs photos are really nice.
I'm not to the point of disassembly yet. Bravo for taking it on. I also self-identify similarly, saying that thanks to NaNoWriMo, I'm a novelist, but not a writer. I wonder why we do that. You especially, as it sounds like people pay you for words on a page. That would be my threshold, so by my measure you are a writer. Can't wait for your segment.ReplyDelete
Keep writing, Bill. Anybody who writes when they don't have to is a writer.ReplyDelete

Where to get boxes for your house move
Historically speaking, how to get boxes for moving was an inconvenient and sometimes expensive experience. With these handy hints though, you will be able to find the moving boxes you want, without all the hassle.
If looking to get boxes for moving, then the best places to find them are at locally owned supermarkets and retail stores. When these types of stores stock their shelves, they usually have a surplus of boxes of all shapes and sizes that need to be disposed of.
All you need to do is ask the managerial staff of such retail stores as bookstores and bottle shops, if they're ok with you taking the spare boxes off their hands.
Any shop that receives stock from an outside source will have boxes at some time or another and most managers are happy to recycle their boxes by allowing others to take them off their hands.
Be wary of some boxes though, that have been used to store fruit or vegetables and have become soft from moisture and / or do no longer have flap-tops to secure them.
Some boxes will be weaker than others, so look at the boxes carefully and judge which ones are more suitable to be used for heavy items and which are in an acceptable state to be loaded with light items only.
For strong, purpose built boxes, you can purchase or rent boxes for moving, at resonable prices. When you are moving your precious and fragile items, the last thing you need is a box falling apart at the seams, just as the Perth removalist is carrying it away.
Specifically designed moving boxes are not only affordable but they are the best protection for your belongings during a local, interstate or international move. The further you are moving the more vital the quality of your boxes needs to be.
There are many retailers in Australia that offer different prices on moving boxes. Many of these businesses also offer a great new option which is renting boxes for moving. When you rent boxes, you pay a much smaller amount of money and return the boxes (in good condition) after you have finished unpacking.
The great thing about this, is that not only is it more cost effective but you also don't have to find a place to stack and store that huge pile of cardboard after you're done. Someone will come and collect it and you will be cardboard free in your new home with no excess clutter to speak of.
Finding the best deal is really up to you. The internet is an excellent resource for searching and comparing deals and prices. It's a really smart idea to check some forums and reviews to see how other people viewed the services (and boxes) from different companies.
Getting your hands on boxes for moving isn't difficult. There are plenty of places competing for your business, so take the time to really know what you require, do your research and get quotes before you spend any money on boxes.
need any help on getting boxes then contact us at 1300 582 008

User reviews
Fish & Co. is just another shop that sells fish and chips to me. There's not much worth praising, and everything is pretty average. The shop sells decent meals, but the fish and chips are nothing out of the ordinary and can be found anywhere else.
The batter of the fish is crispy and sometimes a bit too dry, and it has a rough texture due to the crumbs. However, the flesh inside is very soft and delicious, without the awful fishy smell. The fries are also decent and well salted. The only thing worth remembering about Fish & Co. is their student meals which are at quite attractive prices.
Overall, for food and ambience, Fish & Co is pretty average. I wouldn't mind visiting if I'm in the area and craving for some fried fish, but there are many other alternatives as well.
I for one have been a frequent diner at Manhattan Fish Market and know the benchmark of great seafood. That is why I was pretty skeptical when I first entered this restaurant, somehow thinking that there is no way they can beat Manhattan Fish Market. I was pleasantly surprised at the menu which had an extensive range of choices from multiple different kids of fishes, prawns and other assortment of seafood. One particular issue I have with Manhattan is their long wait times once an order is placed which meant I was surprised yet again when orders were swiftly cooked and came out of the kitchen, fully prepared for my dining pleasure.
I felt great as I was eating there as I got my fair share of great customer service and even better tasting seafood. I am now a converted fan for sure!
Optional Information:
I first laid my eyes on Fish and Co. at 1 Utama while looking for a place to eat. For a person who stayed in England for a couple of years, I bet you know why I decided to try eating here. In case you don't know, it's trying my luck to find a good plate of fish & chips.
The portion of the food is definitely on par with what Manhattan Fish Market offers which is quite satisfying. As for taste, although it is not bad, it is not enough to make come back here again. I definitely prefer Manhattan Fish Market more as the fish & chips I ordered here is a bit soggy. Not sure if it was meant to be like that or it was just plain bad luck though.
I love the environment of the restaurant. It feels relaxing and makes you want to stay there for quite awhile. Not that I am not open to coming back to this restaurant but for now, I'll only come back here if other restaurants are full.
Optional Information:
I was relieved to finally have another option for fish-based restaurant other than Manhattan. What attracted me to this eatery is their environment. The whole ambiance is somewhat cozy and relaxing, less crowded and of course has an overall nice vibe to it. I love having my meals here.
The menus vary and I can't comment further as the only meal that I always ordered is fish and chip, because that's the only thing that looks appealing enough to me. They tasted just nice and filling enough, can't complain much.
No doubt I will always choose this restaurant whenever I feel like having a plate of fish and chip.
Their famed fish and chips are definite must tries but apart from that, I don't feel any of their other offerings are worth the money especially their cod fish. I've ordered cod fish twice and both times they came tasteless. I had to add salt to the cod fish and the gravy provided wasn't even sufficient for a quarter of the cod fish serving. I feel as though I can make a much better one on my own at home with just some soy sauce.
My honest opinion is that this kind of restaurant (think Manhattan Fish Market and Fish & Co.) that serves mostly fish items can be good but unhealthy. Most dishes are deep fried and I think it's not suitable for the health conscious however healthy fish can be.
The first time I got to know about this restaurant was at Paradigm Mall, when my friends and I were walking around looking for a place to have our lunch. Since it was quite new to us, we decided to explore this place.
They offer a greater variety of choices for their fish and chips compared to Manhattan Fish Market, each represented by a country and cooked with different sauces. Their food didn't disappoint us. Their fish and chips looked really appetizing, and tasted great too.
To be frank, I personally think that Fish & Co. is definitely better than Manhattan Fish Market. Those who have not tried it should definitely check it out.
Optional Information:
I only tried once but I fall in love with their fish! The ambience is really suitable if you are looking for a place to chill and relax after long working hour. The service there is good; I was always served with smile even though I asked a lot of question and wasted about 15 minutes before I made my order. I did not wait long before my food arrive, perhaps the environment really make me relax while having some sweet talk with my girl friend. The fish is well marinated and tender, salads is fresh and cool.
Optional Information:
Wandering around 1U and found Fish and Co. The waiter will first give you a cute menu to choose your food. I had order salad since I had no appetite while my boy friend ordered New York Fish and Chips (Yes, it has different types of fish and chips show different cultures of different countries, it's special!). While waiting for the food, there is magazine on each table to get rid of bored if you are eating alone. The fish was so fresh and soft, even the salad was also tasty when served with some fried anchovies.

I feel like I'm in a rut lately and I can't get out. I haven't been very crafty or creative lately and I think it's bringing me down. I'm a much happier person when I'm putting my creativity to good use. I'll admit that I did need a little break after the 10 Projects challenge, but this break has lasted long enough.
I also haven't even been working on Project Life because the new kit only sold at JoAnn is sold out online and in stores. By the time I get that I'll have three months to catch up on!
Where do you find inspiration when you're in a creative rut? I would love to know!
I usually browse Pinterest, read blogs and flip through magazine for my inspiration, but even that hasn't been working for me lately. I think my problem may simply be that we're not getting out enough. It has been the most ridiculously cold winter. I am more than ready for Spring to arrive, and I'm always inspired by the things I see around me, so I'm hoping that with Spring's arrival I'll be flooded with creativity.
I am thinking about maybe doing another project challenge and with my birthday coming up, maybe I'll come up with something to correspond with it. Only I think I'll give myself more time to complete the projects and focus on some bigger things I'd like to make.
Ok, enough about that little vent. I'm off to plan.
Oh, but did you see this lip-syncing contest between Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd last night?! It was hilarious!
I mean, Jimmy is pure awesome. And Paul Rudd. Seriously love him.

Over the past two decades, software architecture research has yielded many different tools and techniques for understanding the architectures of large software systems. However, the work in the area is still characterized by one-off approaches and evaluations on limited and/or proprietary datasets. More extensive empirical research and technology transfer are impeded by myriad disjoint research and development environments, lack of a shared research infrastructure, high initial costs associated with developing robust tools, and a lack of datasets needed to conduct empirical research in this domain. The resulting specialized solutions inhibit further advances in software architecture research, preventing systematic synthesis and empirical validation of novel or previously existing techniques. As a result, researchers conducting empirical studies and practitioners in need of cutting-edge tools must typically re-invent or re-implement research infrastructure (e.g., a seemingly promising technique for reverse engineering existing software systems' architectures) from scratch. In doing so, they tend to repeat each other's efforts, which wastes time and resources—especially if the previous solutions prove to be ineffective in the desired context—and repeats old mistakes instead of moving the field forward. As a result, the opportunities for potential breakthroughs in this domain are regularly missed and the field is replete with solutions that do not work as advertised beyond very limited scenarios and/or are not interoperable.
To address these challenges impeding empirical research in the domain of architecture-based software maintenance, a Software Architecture INfrastructure (SAIN) is needed that (1) provides existing tools and techniques often used in that area and domain of study to prevent researchers from wasting time trying to "reinvent the wheel" and makes those tools accessible and reusable; (2) contains a repository of architectural baselines, benchmarks, and datasets; and (3) serves as a means of integrating these tools in a manner that eases replication and reproduction of experiments, or construction of new ones based on existing tools, techniques, baselines, benchmarks, and datasets.
To meet the need for SAIN and understand the requirements of the targeted research community, four researchers have taken on the task of eliciting requirements from the software-engineering research community and running workshops based on the theme of designing and constructing SAIN. These researchers include: ISR Prof. Nenad Medvidović, a Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Southern California; ISR Prof. Sam Malek, an Associate Professor in the Informatics Department at the University of California, Irvine; Dr. Joshua Garcia, an Associate Project Scientist at ISR; and Prof. Mehdi Mirakhorli, an Assistant Professor at Rochester Institute of Technology, Department of Software Engineering.
Two workshops have been organized so far in support of designing and constructing SAIN. The first workshop on infRastructurEs and InstrumeNts For sOftware aRchiteCturE (REINFORCE), was held on January 11-12, 2017 at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. REINFORCE was structured as a mix of presentations by distinguished researchers and software architects from major companies, as well as "working sessions" intended to solicit the participants' feedback on the aforementioned objectives of SAIN. Dr. Garcia gave a presentation introducing the original vision of SAIN and the challenges it hopes to address.
Each participant was asked to give a 10-minute lightning talk about architecture- based software engineering and the requirements the participant would like SAIN to satisfy. ISR Prof. Crista Lopes gave a lightning talk about her experience as one of the main architects of OpenSimulator, an open-source server platform for hosting virtual environments.
As a follow-up to REINFORCE, the First International Workshop on Establishing the Community-Wide Infrastructure for Architecture-Based Software Engineering (ECASE) was held at the 39th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) in Buenos Aires, Argentina on May 22, 2017. In addition to the continued focus on requirements elicitation, planning, and design of SAIN, ECASE featured refereed paper presentations on novel tools and techniques, or useful benchmarks or datasets, that support empirical research on architecturebased maintenance.
Two keynotes were given at ECASE. Jane Cleland-Huang, a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, gave a keynote presentation on lessons learned by the traceability community in their efforts to build a community- wide research infrastructure. Rick Kazman, Professor in the Information Technology Management Department at the University of Hawaii, gave a presentation on reproducibility problems in the field of software engineering and ideas about how to improve that discipline.
In the next phase of SAIN design and construction, Medvidović, Malek, Garcia and Mirakhorli will work to build: a means of gathering and organizing requirements online, including online surveys; a website showing the requirements the community have converged on so far; and an initial SAIN prototype. This prototype will serve as a pilot study for SAIN. The project will conclude with another workshop to assess the state of the infrastructure and how to move forward with it as a community.
The ECASE 2017 Proceedings is available on the IEEE Xplore and ACM Digital Libraries. For additional information, contact Dr. Joshua Garcia or visit the ECASE website.

As the sun sets this evening, telephones across the swing states will begin to jingle with calls from Romney's pollsters, seeking instant reaction to the candidate's decision, last night and today, to make the attacks in Libya and Egypt a political issue. (Poll-testing responses, message points, and arguments at every key juncture is what monied campaigns do these days.) For all we know, the Romney team will get the answers it wants—a statistically significant number of phone respondents may say, yes, Romney was right to jump on the Obama administration for an alleged apology to the mob in Cairo, and that yes, they should put that message in a television ad. Too late: the moment for which Romney needed to be prepared, to nail the posture of leadership and comfort, has already passed.
If you weren't watching TV this morning, take a few minutes to watch Romney's press conference in Jacksonville, above. The nominee, with the wear of the campaign showing under his eyes, seemed to ramble through his own critique of the president, especially during the hostile question-and-answer period. He failed to articulate crisply how his administration would have responded differently, or to answer the question of why a statement the White House says it didn't approve—and written by far-flung embassy staffers who saw their walls about to be scaled by maniacs—should be held up as the essential document of Obama's foreign policy. The basic answer seems clear enough, though. The Romney campaign saw what it thought was a good opportunity to criticize Obama, and they did what my bosses in politics always warned me never to do: leap without looking. Once it came to light, hours later, that the American ambassador to Libya had been murdered and the situation was way more complicated than a single press release, it was too late for Romney clamber back on message.
Already, television commentators have taken to cable news to identify this as Romney's "Lehman moment"—referring to the bank collapse and market dive exactly four years ago that showed John McCain as wavering and uncertain during the kind of crisis that presidents are supposed to master. There are certainly some similarities. Witness Romney's answer this morning to Jan Crawford of CBS News, when she asked "What did the White House do wrong, then, Governor Romney, if they put out a statement saying they disagreed with [the Cairo embassy's statement]?" Normally I'd omit the _uh_s and repetitions from a direct quote, but in this case they seem illustrative. Here's Romney:
You could go on about how this line of attack is circular (moments earlier, Romney had said that he and the White House had had "the exact same reaction" to the Cairo statement), and why this is precisely the wrong tone for a presidential aspirant to take—mentioning "ambassadors" with anything other than praise and gratitude after one has just died in the line of duty. But you get the point. Sufficient that, un-muting Fox News this afternoon, I heard conservative radio talker Monica Crowley say the words: "what Governor Romney was trying to say..."
Earlier this summer, when I asked a Romney advisor about the governor's lack of mass appeal, he responded, "If Romney's so bad, why's he beating Barack Obama?" Polls now show that he isn't—and it's beginning to be clear why that is. For all the discontentment about the sour economy, it's still on Romney to demonstrate that he'd be a more competent alternative to Barack Obama, and, just as important, the kind of guy you want to see in front of the cameras when something terrible happens. Today, and to date, he's failed that test.

Olga Barreiro (Boston, United States)
While pursuing my PhD at the Immunology Unit in Hospital de la Princesa (Spain), the Weizmann Institute (Israel), the San Raffaele DIBIT (Italy) and the University of California Irvine (CA), I acquired a strong background in vascular biology and cell biology of the immune system as well as deep knowledge in a wide variety of imaging techniques, including spectroscopy and analytical microscopy. During that period of my career, I became more interested in the interaction between the immune and the vascular systems. Such fascination fueled my decision to start a postdoctoral training at the National Center of Cardiovascular Research, (Spain). Then, I was able to expand my knowledge on the innate immunity in the skin, by discovering a novel tissue-resident myeloid subset that interacts with the vasculature and possess a key role in wound healing.
In 2014, I joined Dr. von Andrian's lab at the Microbiology and Immunobiology Department of Harvard Medical School. My purpose was to enlarge my expertise on microscopy, due to the extensive experience of this lab in multiphoton intravital microscopy (MP-IVM). Here, I have been applying this technique to disentangle the complex relationships among the peripheral sensory nervous system, the dermal microvasculature and the skin immune cells that govern many physiopathological contexts. Currently, my main ongoing project is focused on the study of a novel process of intravascular immune surveillance exerted by effector and memory CD8+ T lymphocytes to fight against acute viral infections in the dermal microvasculature.

First I made a spinning game:
|Twinkle Rhythm Game
I quickly found out that my daughter doesn't really like spinner games.
I hope it works better for you than it did for me!
Then, I found some of these great Post-it notes at Target.
Perfect for Twinkle Rhythms
On each star I wrote new words for the twinkles. My little E Girl loves Harry Potter--so we made some Harry Potter themed twinkle words:
Twinkle #1: Harry rides a broomstick
Twinkle #2: Dumbledore
Twinkle #3: Ron Weasley, Ron Weasley
Twinkle #4 (Theme):
Hagrd's Hut is big and round.
By the forest it is found.
With a garden on the side.
Giant pumpkins it supplied.
Hagrid's Hut is big and round.

School life is a defining time in any person's life. Whether good or bad, these few years teach us more than any classroom could ever teach us in our lifetime. This is exactly why you should spend an equal amount out of the class room as you would spend inside the classroom, that's right, after school activities. For some, this might be something that the preppy kids do to pad up their university applications. That maybe right, it does look good on an application whether for a university or a job. But these programs are about more than that, they play a vital part in a young person's life which will mold them for their future.
One argument made against after school activities in private is that there is no time. You might learn what you need to know to pass an exam in your science home tuition class but there are somethings you can't learn in a classroom. In life, we are rarely faced with the problems taught to us in the classroom. Up until now no one has asked me the Pythagorean Theorem or to find sin. But however, I have been in many situations where deadlines have been moved up and team members not seeing eye to eye. I am not saying that what we learn in the classroom is worthless, on the contrary, it has a great deal of value. But to get through in real life, you need out of the classroom experiences as well. This is what these after school programs give you. They give you a taste of what awaits in the real world.
Taking part in after school activities give you independence, sort of. All our lives we are faced with preapproved habits. We rarely go out of our comfort zone but this is a platform where you can come out of that shell. Maybe you like to sing but never tried it, maybe you would like to give debating a go or maybe you think you have a shot getting into the basketball team. The beauty is, you can try it and if you don't like it, forget it but if you like it, your life will be altered forever. You won't find the opportunity to do that in a science home tuition class.
When we look back at our school years, very rarely do we remember what we learnt. What we do remember is our friends, the good, the bad and the memories. Among all of that we will all have those defining moments which when we look back at we know that that is where it all changed.

Walking into a car dealership without understanding the basic terminology of an auto loan is a sure way of needlessly throwing away money. At Approved Loan Store, we believe that better informed car buyers are happier car buyers in the long run, so we have put together the most common terms used in auto finance and explained them in simple, understandable language.
Auto Loan: An auto loan is an amount of money borrowed from a lender that will be repaid by the consumer with interest.
Loan Principle: A loan principle is the amount of money that the consumer is borrowing to purchase the vehicle. For example, if someone purchases a $25,000 car and puts a down payment of $5,000, the loan principle is $20,000.
Interest Rate: Lenders make a profit on a loan's interest rate. The lower the interest rate, the less the buyer will have to pay on the loan in addition to the loan principle.
Loan Term: The loan term is the amount of time that the car buyer has to pay off the auto loan.
Credit Score: A credit score is calculated based on a customer's credit history including whether they made their payments on time, how much debt they are carrying compared to how much credit they have available to them, and how long they have had open credit cards, mortgages, or other loans. Credit scores are used by lenders to determine auto loan approvals. Consumers with high credit scores are more likely to get approved for a high loan principle and low interest rate. Consumers with low credit scores will have a more difficult time getting approved for a high loan principle and low interest rate.
If you have a low credit score and have been turned down for an auto loan, Approved Loan Store wants to help YOU! Good credit, bad credit, or no credit, we will work with you to get you into a great car with interest rates and a loan term you can handle! Get started today by filling out our secure online auto loan application here, and connect with Approved Loan Store on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube!

Stay Healthy With These Great Nutrition Tips!
Nutrition plays a basic element of one's health. Keep reading to discover how to make this article to learn how!
Foods that have been overly processed do not good to eat when weight loss is the goal. The label should list of ingredients you recognize. Avoid nutrition labels riddled with a lot of artificial ingredients listed on their label.
It is wise to keep protein bars or concentrated foods ready in your bag when you travel. You will have noticed that regular meals at airports are becoming harder to find. Either you're rushing through security, sitting on a particular flight or even when waiting, or sitting on a flight that has no food. Having a meal bar on hand can help you fill in the gaps while you are able to eat an actual meal.
Getting the proper nutrition is important for your body to function properly. Taking a multi-vitamin each day is a great way to ensure you are getting enough of the right vitamins in your diet. You can look in a vitamin shops. For example, if you're an older woman over 50, then you need a vitamin tailored to this demographic. Take these supplements everyday with lots of water.
Eat a variety of different colored foods. Fruits and vegetables that are bright in color give us lots of nutrition without tons of calories.Make sure that you eat contains at least one of fruits and veggies. If the fruit or veggie skin is edible, you should also eat the skin; it contains added nutrients.
Make sure to use your daily calorie allowance to get as many nutrients into your body as you can. You will feel better and be healthier if you spend your daily calories wisely,800 calories from healthy vegetables, whole grains and protein as opposed to consuming 1, and proteins. The quality of the foods you are eating is as much consideration as the quantity.
Smoothies are fun to make and nutritious. Here is an easy way to pump up the nutritional content of your tasty smoothie even better for you. Add some flax seed with omega 3 fatty acids or cocoa powder to your smoothie for an antioxidant-rich pick-me-up.Adding one of these two items can make smoothies tastier and give them extra nutrients for better immunity.
It can be difficult for many people to maintain a proper nutritional balance in their diet. If you make healthy foods a regular part of your diet, you may find that comfort foods no longer hold the same level of appeal. You can then start eating with nutrition and not because you feel better emotionally.
If you get rid of ground beef and eat ground turkey in its place, your health will benefit, though the taste may not. Adding a dash of olive oil can make your turkey juicier. You will be consuming fewer fat in your meat and still getting a delicious flavor.
The following tips about nutrition can really affect your life. Follow this advice to gain increased levels of energy and focus, along with decreased stress. Start today, and see for yourself how much better the right foods can make you feel!

Gerald Guralnik died recently. He is credited of one of the discoverers of the Higgs boson and the Higgs mechanism. With someone that special, it makes sense to do something different, something extra.
At Wikidata a lot of time goes into adding the alma mater of subjects. For Mr Guralnik his time at Brown University was added. The time people work for a university or for a research institution is at least as relevant as the time when they studied.
For Brown university there is a category with many of its faculty members. Now that one university has been so well served, there is plenty of room for other universities to be served in a similar way. In Wikidata you find how to set up the query that show the data in the Reasonator.

Gorgeous young lady..nice and nude every set from the first photo..more please
Cordelia has that kind of "devilish smile - fingernail bite" thing down pat. I've always been a sucker for that kind of look. I remember getting one of those looks unintentionally from a woman sitting across from me in the food court of a local indoor mall. She was sitting there reading something while having a coffee when her hand strayed to her mouth and lips. I happened to glance over at her at the same moment she glanced up at me and I don't know who blushed more - me or her. Totally innocent but it really got me started like a full-on double Starbucks. Cordelia does the same thing for me.
"devilish smile - fingernail bite" - yes, that is all of her!
Cordelia is absolutely gorgeous!!! Hopefully she is here for a LONG time!!!
