I've wished for a mentor countless times, the way one wishes for a fairy godmother, but she never appeared (neither have the coach, white horses, or glass slippers). Some days, this has made me a strange mixture of sad and mad, envious of those around me who seemed to be so well supported, and wondering if I'd done something wrong to be in such a position.
As my career advanced, I started to appreciate the independence and creativity that were born of the required self-reliance and my desire for someone to guide me more or less evaporated, leaving only a thin film of longing. The longing nagged, like a reminder I hadn't been selected for the kickball team, but I could tolerate it.
Recently, at a Rock Health Retreat for Women (aptly named the XX Retreat) I admitted my frustration at the lack of women mentors (see attached video). But, I realized in watching the video again that I wasn't being completely honest. There are many women who teach, guide and support me—I just needed to broaden my field of vision and stop only looking up.
It turns out my mentors aren't the older, wiser, leaders with battle scars who I was imagining. My mentors are the group of women I'm lucky enough to call friends (and consider my chosen family). I am surrounded by amazing women who inspire, encourage, and challenge me every day to be a better professional and human being. And so, today, I want to recognize and thank each of them.
Lisa is sensitive, in the most beautiful and powerful way. Standing by her as she gracefully navigates challenges and changes in life, professionally and personally, reminds me to be kind to others and myself.
I'm still not sure how Diana does it all, even though I've seen it up close. But it is the selfless love and attention that she invests, which inspires me to recognize the deep, deep internal well from which we each can draw to give to others.
Sangeeta speaks truth to power, fights for those who can't fight for themselves, and is impatient with injustice. She showed me, rather than told me, how to channel that anger into creating lasting change, by marrying it to empathy and respect for our fellow beings.
I miss Michele, who isn't afraid to recognize herself and show others how she feels. She taught me that I could trust and allows me to practice being emotional, messy, and out of control, to work through the many layers of feeling to get to the core of the matter.
Naomi is a force of nature. Her drive and determination are inspiring and witnessing her professional success, matched with her personal happiness, makes me want to work harder, do more, and always bring my best effort to the table.
I didn't like it much at the time, but am thankful Amy pushed me to be more honest with myself and other about who I am, what I need, and how I feel. Her ability to show up has given me the courage to do the same and experience how people respect authenticity.
Christine has allowed me to travel with her on a journey exploring what makes her happy. Although it's a winding, sometimes perilous, road she reminds me it's important to take pause and look inside for direction when facing accidents, diversions, and detours.
I was sick and vulnerable in Rwanda when I met Sara and thought I'd never be so brave to give as much as she does. With her as a model, I appreciate how faith—blending spirituality and science—can be a source of the courage it takes to be of service to others.
Laura reminds me to open up and laugh. It's not just because she's funny, but rather because she does everything she can to make those around her safe. Security provides a jumping off point to play and I appreciate that she has shown me how they are related.
Carlotta influences me even though we're hundreds of miles apart. She has combined raw talent, intelligence, and persistence in multiple arrangements to achieve so much in so many ways. Her creativity sparks mine, and I'm lucky to count on her anytime I need her.
These women have taught me lessons over the years I've known them and I'm grateful for each one. Even more, I'm grateful for the constellation that they together form, which I look to for guidance and inspiration just like the stars.
I'd encourage everyone to think about who truly mentors them, and recognize that while this might not come from the places you'd expect and it might not look like what everyone else has, that it's possible you are surrounded with the just the mentors you need.

Gunners' FA Cup Semi Final To Clash With Chelsea's Huge Game Against Man Utd
Arsenal and Liverpool found out when the FA Cup semi finals will be held today, but the Gunners Saturday game is set to clash with Chelsea vs Man Utd….
The Football Association confirmed the dates for the upcoming FA Cup semi finals this afternoon.
Liverpool face a replay against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park next month in order to book their place in the last four after the pair drew 0-0 at Anfield two weeks ago.
Aston Villa await the victors after they beat West Bromwich Albion in the quarter finals and the Villains will play either Liverpool or Blackburn on Sunday April 19th. The match at Wembley will be broadcast live on BT Sport and will kick off at 3pm.
Current holders Arsenal booked their place in the last four once again after beating Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford last Monday night.
The North Londoners will take on Reading after they beat Bradford 3-0 in their replay this week and the two clubs will now face-off at Wembley on Saturday April 18th. The game will be shown live on BBC One, kicking off at 5.20pm.
However, the decision of the BBC to schedule the game as an evening kick off means that the Gunners FA Cup semi final will clash with Chelsea's huge Premier League game against Manchester United.
The Blues host United at Stamford Bridge on the same day with the game being shown live on Sky Sports, kicking off at 5.30pm – just 10 minutes after Arsenal v Reading.
It leaves neutrals in a tricky situation as to which game to watch and you have to question why the BBC would choose to play Arsenal's FA Cup clash at the same time as such a high profile league game.
Maybe it's just bad luck that the two games collide but surely an earlier kick off at Wembley would have made much more sense for football-loving fans, as well as the broadcasters, as they are both certain to miss out on huge viewers numbers.

In 1975, an animated, talking scroll taught kids how a bill becomes a law.
These days, teaching methods are a little bit more advanced. Take this free, new stunning visualization tool from researchers at the University of Washington's Center for American Politics and Public Policy, which uses big data to show decades of the lawmaking process in action.
The tool, called Legislative Explorer, allows users to track the legislative movements of more than 250,000 congressional bills and resolutions introduced from 1973 to the present.
"Anyone can use Legislative Explorer to observe large scale patterns and trends in congressional lawmaking without advanced methodological training," the website explains. "In addition, anyone can dive deeper into the data to further explore a pattern they've detected, to learn about the activities of an individual lawmaker, or to follow the progress of a specific bill."
And, boy, is there a lot of data. Users can sift through it with a variety of filters: a specific Congress, senator, or representative, political party, topic, committee, sponsor, and more. You can also search for a bill by name and see where it died — or when it reached the president's desk. Once you've picked a filter, hit the "play" button at the top left of the page and watch the magic happen (or not).
Each particle represents a bill or resolution, and their colors correspond to the party and chamber of the legislation, or to its sponsor. Red indicates Republican, blue Democrat, and yellow independent. Mouse over a dot to see more information about the bill. Hover over the people-shaped markers on the left- and right-hand sides to see names of Congress members, their ideology score, and their state. A handy tracker at the bottom of the page tallies the number of total bills for a Congress at a given point in time.
Long story short: You may want to watch this video tutorial before diving in.
At the time of this writing, 6,338 bills or resolutions have been introduced during the 113th Congress — 2,151 in the Senate and 4,187 in the House. Eighty-four of them, or about 1 percent, have become law.

Coy Luther "Luke" Perry III (born October 11, 1966 in Mansfield, Ohio) is an American actor. He starred as Dylan McKay on the TV series Beverly Hills, 90210 from 1990 to 1995, and again from 1998 to 2000.
In 1990, he landed his breakthrough role as the rebellious teen heartthrob Dylan McKay on Aaron Spelling's dramatic TV series Beverly Hills 90210. In the years since, he has enjoyed continued success on TV as well as on the stage and silver screen.
After his parents' divorce in 1972, he was raised by his mother and stepfather in the quiet rural community of Fredericktown, Ohio—along with his older brother Tom, younger sister Amy and stepsister Emily. Perry's relationship with his biological father remained tense until his father's death of a heart attack in 1980.
It was his stepfather, construction worker Steve Bennett, whom Perry looked to as a role model. Perry would later describe Bennett to People magazine as "the one who taught him the important things he needed to know about being a man." Known by his teachers as a daydreamer, Perry lacked enthusiasm for his high school's farming curriculum.
Of his rural education at Fredericktown High School, Perry told Rolling Stone magazine, "We had classes on giving birth to cows and driving tractors." After sticking it out until graduation, Perry left Fredericktown for Hollywood in 1984. Luke Perry arrived in Hollywood in 1984, where he worked a string of odd jobs—from paving asphalt to peddling shoes—in order to pay for acting classes.
After three years of auditioning and 216 rejections, Perry got his first break in 1987, landing the role of Ned Bates in the daytime TV drama Loving. The role required him to move to New York City. In 1988, he scored another dramatic role in New York, on the soap opera Another World. Just a year later, Perry landed the part that catapulted him to stardom, when he was cast in Aaron Spelling's teen drama series, Beverly Hills 90210.
Perry had auditioned for the role of the jock, Steve Sanders, but was chosen to play bad boy Dylan McKay instead. Beverly Hills 90210 creator Darren Star told Rolling Stone magazine, "When Luke walked into the audition, it was like 'Wow, that's the person.'" In 1990, Perry returned to Los Angeles to start shooting 90210.
With Perry on board, Fox Network's ratings soared, largely due to his overwhelming appeal as a teen heartthrob. The media commonly compared him to actor James Dean, who had also been known for his brooding good looks, his cool demeanor and his role as a rebellious but inwardly tormented teen. Perry was even granted the privilege of directing two episodes during the 1999 season. 90210 ran for 10 years and aired its last episode on May 17, 2000, after which Perry took on his first big-screen role, as Ray Ray in Scorchers. Perry continued to pursue his film career with a supporting role in the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie (1992).
At the same time, he embarked on what would prove to be a long stream of TV voiceovers and guest appearances. Perhaps most notable was his role as Rev. Jeremiah Cloutier on 10 episodes of HBO's Oz (2001–2002). Working prolifically, Perry also took a successful stab at theater; in 2002 he made his Broadway debut dressed in drag as Brad in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. In 2006, Perry returned to network TV full time, starring in the NBC drama Windfall, but the show only lasted a season.
Perry quickly returned to film, and resumed his TV guest appearances, including a nine-episode spot on FCU: Fact Checkers Unit. In 2008, he turned down the chance to star in a spin-off of Beverly Hills 90210, but reunited with his former costar Jason Priestly when the two appeared in the 2011 TV western Goodnight for Justice. Perry's recent major film projects include the 2010 comedy Good Intentions.
Having married in 1993 and divorced in 2003, Perry has shared custody of his two children—a son, Jack, and a daughter, Sophie. In a January 2011 interview with Creators Syndicate, he expressed a desire to return to an ongoing TV series role. Perry was also cited by local media in April of 2011, after he joined fellow parents in protesting budget cuts to teachers' salaries at his children's middle school in Sherman Oaks, California.

Candyland Remix is a cute winter polish that Jindie Nails did. It was just Candyland, but she added the small bright matte glitters to it. I definitely like it better. Who doesn't like more glitter!?!
This is a white crelly base that seems ever so slightly tinted, but I can't really decide what color....pink or blue? I think it's so faint that it just depends on what you're next to. It's filled with large/medium neon matte hexes in pink/purple/orange/yellow/green/blue and tiny neon dot glitter in blue/orange/pink/purple.
This polish totally reminded me of the Cadbury chocolate eggs that come out this time of year :P. The formula is a little sheer, so this is 4 coats. It can be streaky if it doesn't have enough time to dry, so don't just jump from one hand to the next. I'm really loving these milky glitters!!
You can buy Jindie Nails in her Etsy shop for $8.50/$5. Her polish is also available at Llarowe, Mei Mei's Signatures, and Ninja Polish.
Follow Jindie Nails on Facebook and Instagram!

Teaching English in Thailand
Just after the May commencement ceremony, a group of students traveled to Thailand with English professor Kathy Swanson. The students were on a short-term summer study program through Augsburg Abroad.
"Experiences in Thai Education and Culture" required students to prepare, deliver, and assess their oral presentation for Thai students in both small group and classroom settings. They learned about pedagogy for teaching effective ELL (English Language Learners) students. The students taught in the cities of Bangkok and Chiangmai, and the rural village of Prachuab Kirikhan.
Junior Bethany Thompson is pursuing a licensure in secondary education with an emphasis in Communication Arts and Literature. She wanted to go on a short-term study abroad trip and said she was intrigued by the opportunity to teach. "I knew it would be an experience I would never forget, and it was," she said.
Thompson learned to have a greater appreciation for the Thai culture and gained valuable teaching experience. "I was able to deal with some particular ELL issues that I may come across in the future. I didn't expect classes of 50 students, but it was just another surprise along the trip," she said.
Becki Iverson is a Sophomore history and journalism major. She said she went on the trip to fulfill a major requirement and to get "a taste of something completely unique and separated from the Western and American lifestyle I'm used to."
The trip taught her to open her eyes to the world around her. "Thailand is a completely different world from the one I am used to in Minnesota, and there were tons of new tastes, sights, sounds, smells, and feelings that I experienced."
As a tall, blonde woman with a pale complexion, Iverson got a lot of attention in Thailand. She said, "I don't think I expected to be as much of a stand out there as I was. There were actually Thai people taking photos with me instead of with the tourist attractions we visited."
Iverson said she would definitely encourage students to go on a short-term study abroad program because it's a safe and cost-effective way to travel. "It's a great way to experience another country without taking a semester or year out of your plans to travel," she said. "And it helps you make some pretty great friends as you travel."

On Wednesday, Mumbai sessions court judge MW Chandwani pronounced his verdict that met with disbelief among the digiterati: "On the basis of the confession coupled with the circumstantial evidence placed before the court by the prosecution, it has been proved that accused number two stabbed the deceased Neeraj Grover and therefore has killed Neeraj Grover."
Dressed in a white formal shirt and black trousers was accused number two -- navy lieutenant Emile Jerome. Seated next to him was his fiancee and accused number one -- small-time Kannada actress Maria Monica Susairaj. Both -- nervous, expressionless and calm -- listened to the judge pronouncing them guilty in the murder of television executive Neeraj Grover.
Jerome has been convicted on two counts, that of culpable homicide not amounting to murder under section 304 part one of the Indian Penal Code and destruction of evidence under section 201 of the IPC, while Maria Monica Susairaj has been held guilty only on the charge of destruction of evidence.
The sessions court judge, however, completely set aside the conspiracy theory placed before the court. The judge observed, "Looking into the circumstances which have been brought on record, and the confession statement of Maria Susairaj, it does not appear that accused number two (Emile Jerome) had pre-meditation to kill Neeraj Grover." The court thus took into account that Emile Jerome, who was posted at the Cochin naval base, came to Mumbai without any intention or preparation to kill Neeraj Grover.
The court also observed that Maria had a chance to back out, "but she went to the extent of going ahead with the plan."
The verdict hasn't really gone down well with the prosecution which expected the court to hand down convictions on the count of murder under section 302 of the IPC. "We are not satisfied with the verdict. We will press for the maximum punishment. We will definitely appeal against the verdict in the higher court," said chief public prosecutor RV Kini.
Kanpur-based Amarnath Grover, father of Neeraj Grover, expressed unhappiness over the verdict. He said, "It's a very disappointing judgment. If Maria has not killed my son, then who has? Maria was the main culprit who had called Jerome to her home leading to Grover's killing. Susairaj should not have been absolved of murder charges."
On Friday the court will hear arguments on the quantum of punishment from all three lawyers -- two for defence and one lawyer for the prosecution. However, Maria Susairaj stands to walk free on Friday as the maximum sentence for destruction of evidence is three years and she has already spent the time in jail.
Maria's lawyer, advocate Sharif Sheikh, said, "I wanted the court to decide on the sentencing today itself. Why should my client stay one day extra in jail? As it is, the maximum punishment for destruction of evidence is only three years and she has technically served her term."
On pronouncement of verdict Richard Susairaj, Maria's brother, was a relieved man. "I am very happy. Very relieved too. I will issue a statement tomorrow, right now I need to give the good news to my parents," he told the media-persons gathered at the courtroom.
An evidently relieved Maria Susairaj too was all smiles. On being asked if she should be congratulated, Maria waved and simply said, "Tomorrow!"
Meanwhile, hectic consultations have begun in the Jerome camp. His father, who has been attending the hearing since the past few days, was calm even as the conviction was handed down to his son.
"The reasoning given by the court clearly shows that it is a case of emotional disbursement, which the crime branch was hell bent on proving as a case of brutal murder. We have successfully managed to prove that it's not a case under section 302," said Jerome's lawyer, advocate Wahab Khan.
The maximum punishment for Jerome on the count of culpable homicide not amounting to murder is up to 10 years or life. Depending on the quantum of punishment that will be decided by the court, the family will consider their further legal course of action.
A television executive, Neeraj Grover was stabbed, his body hacked into pieces and disposed of near the Manor jungles outside Mumbai on May 7, 2008. The prosecution stated that Jerome had gone to Maria's residence in suburban Malad on that day, where he got into a fight with Grover, 26, during which the naval officer stabbed the victim to death. Susairaj and Jerome later cut Grover's body into pieces and disposed it of in the forest in neighbouring Thane.
Both the accused had been charged with murder, criminal conspiracy, common intent and causing disappearance of evidence.
The police had filed a chargesheet against the two accused on May 14, 2008. They were arrested on May 21, after which Maria led the police to Grover's body.
Maria's confession on May 28, 2008, corroborated the police's version of the murder.
On September 16, 2008, the court had rejected Maria's bail plea in the case.
In September 2009, there was a twist in the case when Maria's lawyers were accused of threatening witnesses and forcing them to turn hostile.
Another turn of events took place on May 10, 2010, when Maria's family members claimed she didn't even know Grover.
The court is now all set to pronounce the quantum of punishment on Friday.

Disclaimer: The information in this document is written in response to an announcement by the government of Mexico about changes in the daylight saving time in Quintana Roo for the year of 2015.
Quintana Roo 2015
On December 4th 2014, the estate of Quintana Roo was approved to be under a new time zone in order to promote tourism and be more competitive with other nearby destinations in the Caribbean. This announcement does not include any details about when and how this change will be implemented. However, news web portals are referring that this change will be implemented on February 1st 2015 at 2:00 am by moving the clocks one hour forward.
Currently Quintana Roo is using GMT-6, with this change we will be using GMT-5. This fast-tracked change came with little advance notice and it is not yet official with a decree. Many of our customers are in a so-called "freeze period" where they do not make any changes or deploy any updates to their networks or systems.
Since the new time zone announced is different from what was defined in the previous years, Windows-based computers will not correctly interpret the time that is related to the transition to daylight savings time.
In addition to Microsoft products, other software, OS releases and hardware (phones, routers, switches and managed devices) may require updates and/or changes.
Possible changes: In order to reduce the impact of this change, you may select to manually move their own users and systems to an appropriate time zone (such as the (UTC-05:00) Bogota, Lima, Quito, Rio Branco) on February 1st 2015.
Less than a week is a tough time to get everyone alerted to a change of this magnitude. In order to achieve more seamless transitions to new DST rules and time zones, ample advance notice and concentrated efforts on promoting any change should be provided to the people and businesses impacted.
We will continue to publish advice and recommendations on the LATAM Team Blog at http://blogs.technet.com/latam.
General recommendations
- Change computer time zone to (UTC-05:00) Bogota, Lima, Quito, Rio Branco on February 1st 2015.
- Please note that if you adjust the machine's clock manually, you may have adverse effects on your environment. This procedure is not supported by Microsoft.
- Contact Microsoft Support prior to any modification if you are unsure about the steps to follow in order to be prepared for the Daylight Saving Time change in Quintana Roo.
How to update Windows Servers and Desktop Operating Systems
For further information on how to update your Windows Operating system, please refer to the following article
914387 - How to configure daylight saving time for Microsoft Windows operating systems
How to correct Outlook calendars
Customer needs to follow the steps described on KB931667 to update Outlook calendar. Also, you can refer to the following article http://support.microsoft.com/gp/cp_dst "Daylight Saving Time Help and Support Center".
Recommendations to minimize the impacts on Outlook/Exchange:
- Simulate the changes on a lab environment, so you know what will happen and what to expect.
- Work in conjunction with the operating system team to update the DST dates as soon as possible to minimize the chance of users creating new appointments during the delta period before the operating system DST dates get updated.
Before doing any change on the DST information, request the users to print their schedule so they have a reference to follow in order to manually update the appointments later if needed.
Take a full online backup of your Exchange Servers in case you decide to use the Exchange Calendar Update Tool.
For the meetings with multiple attendees only the meeting requestor should update the time and send the update to the others.
Include the time of the meeting in the e-mail request so that invitees can double check the correct meeting time (such as, "Project brainstorming - 11:00 A.M. Asuncion Time").
Exercise caution with the appointments and meetings in the extended DST period. When in doubt, verify the correct time with the organizer.

Index : Equipment Reviews and Features : Clingons - The movable, Reusable, Instant Eyelet - by UKCampsite.co.uk
the Clingons could be what you are looking for. They are a durable,
lightweight instant eyelet that have a variety of great uses and an
essential piece of camping and caravanning kit.
When I first opened the packet, my initial reaction was "Well that is not
going to hold much, it is too small and not possible!" Well how wrong
I was - once we started gripping them to items and weighing them down, we
were certainly not disappointed. One word of warning, don't hang it to
your t-shirt and see if you can pull it off, you wont and you will end up
with a very stretched t-shirt!!
They come in a small handy pack size and are lightweight and very easy to
carry around, however I would say that the large would be my personal
preference of the two sizes. Not only will it hold more, but the sections
are joined together, unlike the small ones, therefore you are not likely to
lose half of the clip. Of course if you are careful and do not misplace
things, then the small are great for the job in hand.
Very useful indeed, should be essential packing in any tenter's or
caravanner's toolbox or spares box
The Clingons are available direct from
Clingons and are priced as follows:
Large Pack: 4 clingons per pack, available in white, blue or black, size
L70 x W40 x H18.5mm, delivery £1.55 per order on any quantity @ £4.95
per pack
Mini Pack: 4 clingons per pack, available in white or green, size L40 x
W35 x H10mm, delivery £1.55 per order on any quantity @ £4.25 per
(Price correct and time of publication and are subject to
change at any time without notice)

When CB's dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation. His sister has gone goth. His ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any sort of solace. But a chance meeting with an artistic kid, the target of this group's bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that's both haunting and hopeful.

text: The month of June is set aside to celebrate LGBT Pride, and the LGBT community has a lot to be proud of. They've made many strides forward over recent years, such as the legalization of same-sex marriage, but there are still many hurdles to cross, like the recent discriminatory laws preventing transgender people from using public bathrooms. As the fight for rights and acceptance continues, the one place that has completely embraced the LGBT movement has been Hollywood.

it's a bad time for magazines
the magazine biz worldwide is one of the most affected by the recession. advertisers are trimming their budgets and sticking with tried-and-tested titles, readers are no longer buying magazines, publishing houses are downsizing staff. because of this, many international titles have been shuttered. sad... we've also been hearing of local magazines shutting down since late last year (but amazingly, new ones popping up from nowhere). but today we got the saddest news of all: our favorite magazine domino is closing! waaah!! :'-( we've never missed an issue since it launched in april 2005. its last issue will be march. what will happen to our subscription now...
Posted by the fash pack at 7:41 AM

that is truly sad =(

Without Domino after March, that means I won't have any happy/friendly US shelter magazines to read anymore (dead na rin si MS Blueprint). Looks I have to look at Aussie mags instead (beautiful, but not the same). And yes, I do find it shocking that many mags here are still opening...and most of them staffed with people who don't know what they're doing! :-(

this truly broke my heart as well. i love domino and there really is just no replacement. i hope it returns, someday.

From Envisat with love
Especially for Valentine's Day, Envisat picks out a heart from the arid landscape of Africa's Sahara.
This is a multi-temporal Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) image of the central coast of Mauritania in West Africa, perched on the edge of the Sahara Desert.
The heart-shaped image seen at the centre of the picture is actually a land feature called the Sebkha Te-n-Dghamcha – a large depression covering an area about 70 by 50 km across. 'Sebkha' is the Arabic for dry lake, and it was indeed once covered by water – the area's lowest point is more than three metres below sea level.
Most of the water evaporated, leaving behind layers of salt and other minerals including gypsum – today supporting a thriving mining industry. What remains are shallow ponds of salty water, visible in the image.
While optical images are based on reflected light, radar images like this one show surface roughness, recording how radar pulses were scattered back from the ground towards a space-based detector.
Radar images are ordinarily in black and white. The colours come from combining three different image acquisitions into a single multi-temporal image, useful for highlighting changes occurring over time.
The first acquisition was on 23 November 2002, matching to red; the second on 23 March 2003, corresponding to green; and the last on 24 April 2003, shown as blue. The areas of whiteness in the final image represent areas of high surface reflectivity unchanged between acquisitions.
The saltpan surface of Sebkha Te-n-Dghamcha returns more radar backscatter than surrounding rock and desert sand. In the same way, the roofs and walls of Mauritania's capital city Nouakchott reflect radar well, and so show up as the white area on the coast at the base of the image.
The different amounts of colours from each acquisition combine in the final image to form other hues that can be interpreted by experienced image processors – for example, the magenta tint of the Atlantic Ocean shows it was at its calmest during the March acquisition.

Holders of the ISO 27001:2005 Standard will be aware that the "Clock is ticking" and they must upgrade to the new 2013 Standard by September 2015 or risk being de-registered. However most organisations are being cautious not to rush the transition and perhaps get a system that is too complicated or difficult to maintain. This is the sixth part of our series detailing the various steps needed to achieve a successful transition to the revised Standard.
By this time you should have created your documentation set. Now the records and logs are produced to provide results achieved or providing evidence of activities performed. As each organisation will have different requirements for records, we have not gone into detail in this Blog.
These records and logs are identified in the Standard and Code of Practice. The text tends to say "records should be maintained". Records can be in any format, paper or electronic.
Records shall be protected from loss, destruction, falsification, unauthorised access and unauthorised release, in accordance with legislatory, regulatory, contractual and business requirements.
In addition to the documents and records required, there is a need to have a business continuity plan and a disaster recovery plan for IT systems. Once produced the plans should be tested and adjusted as required. Testing can be done in a number of ways:
Table top exercise, where the company carries out the test around a table but no operational systems are interrupted.
Partial test, where the recovery systems are tested, but a full evacuation of the premises is not required.
Full test, where all systems are tested against the Business Continuity plan and DR plan as though a real emergency situation had occurred.
Lessons learned from these tests are incorporated into the documented plans.
Our final part (7) of this series of transition steps will conclude with a full internal audit prior to the external certification body assessment.

I have a spouse who is not considered a dependent by the Organization. At what rate will the repatriation grant be calculated in this case?
If you have a spouse at the time of separation, your spouse need not be a dependent spouse; upon your separation with the Organization, the repatriation grant should be authorized at the dependency rate, provided your spouse is your household member who was installed with you at your duty station.

text: Some time ago, Elon indicated that Tesla was working on a fix to make the seats more comfortable (he also talked about a new seat that was farther in the future). I believe it involved removing or tweaking a support beam in the seat. I have now scheduled my appointment to have the fix done at no charge. Has anyone already had this done? If so, can you please share your experience with the new seat. Thanks.

With the Venue 40 ultrasound imaging system, you get out-of-the-box thinking that you can use right out of the box. There are no buttons, no keyboard, and no knobs to complicate the process or slow you down. With quick boot-up time, you are always ready to scan. And a universal docking system lets you mount this system in a cart or on a table dock so you can take the Venue* 40 to a variety of clinical environments—on battery power.
Just Clean and Go
The GoldSeal Venue 40 features a single-surface screen without seams, buttons, keyboard or a monitor frame that could potentially trap contaminants. A transducer connection, flush with the system, helps to reduce the potential for germs. Even better, the durable screen can stand up to harsh medical disinfectants and everyday wear and tear.
Data at Your Fingertips
Whether you want to record, archive, recall, transfer files, or print, the GoldSeal refurbished Venue 40 makes it easy for you. Features such as flexible archiving give you the freedom to never leave your images in the machine. Even when the Venue 40 is on battery and unplugged, you can send images to your desired destination—whether that's PACS or EMR, wired or wireless. You can also use the DVI port to display your screen on an external monitor.

I've offically lost on my goal to post every day in June! That just means I've got to make up for it in July! I'm not letting myself off the hook for June though- I'm still going to try to post everyday. Hopefully this week I can get some posts built up so I don't have to worry about missing.
Anyway, here's why I didn't post yeterday:
I was having fun!!!
We had a couple over for dinner and game night and we had such a blast playing scategories, taboo and loaded questions (my 3 favorite games!). The couple have been friend with Mike for many years and I'd met them via Skype when we were in Korea but this was my first time hanging out with them in person. It was fabulous! We laughed the whole night through and I felt like I had known them forever. I hope we have many more nights of laugheter ahead of us
I made a pot roast in the crock pot with asian spices and root veggies. I southerned it up a it and made a broccoli casserole. Although, I'm not sure how "southern" a recipe is if you get the recipe from a Californian while you're in Glasgow Scotland!
Yesterday I wanted to blog about a job offer I recieved Friday via voicemail through a staffing agency I've been trying to work with. They left the message at noon while I was cashiering. I called back at 3:30 when my shift ended and the offer had been filled! Why did they even bother leaving a message?!
So tomorrow I am applying at Aldi because they are advertising a starting rate of eleven bucks! Sounds good to me! I'm also dropping my resume in the mail for an activities assitant job that I think would be really fun to have.
Tomorrow I'm attemptinh my first ever CVS and Rite Aid couponing trips. My fingers and toes are all crossed that I'll make out okay. I've gotten deal match ups from a few different blogs, have cut my coupons and sorted them into envelopes labeled with the store names. I've also included coupon policies and an instuction sheet that breaks down my shopping list into transaction listed in the order they should be completed. Learning couponing is exciting and fun, but also a bit exhausting, confusing and nerve racking at the same time. But it is something I am dedicated to learning so I'm going to push through and see if I can figure out how drugstore couponing works.

Good luck with your couponing!ReplyDelete
I love scattagories too, it's my favorite game but I can't get my partner to play it very often..I wish we had more "couple" friends to do things like that with.

Infectious diseases that the system insists have been mostly eradicated due to the advent of vaccines are starting to reemerge, with much of the blame for this being levied on the unvaccinated, who are automatically assumed to be the culprits. But a deeper look into the history of vaccines, how they work and what level of long-term protection they truly provide reveals that these golden calves of modern medicine are actually the vehicles through which infectious disease is being spread, with vaccinated individuals as the primary disease carriers.
It is the opposite of what we have all been told for decades about the nature of vaccines — that they produce immunity to diseases that might otherwise kill you, is one common claim, as is the assumption that refusing vaccines leaves one prone to both catching and spreading otherwise uncommon infectious diseases. These and other modern medical myths about vaccines pervade mainstream thinking, and yet they have absolutely no basis in sound science.
In an extensive rebuttal to a 2012 article written by Forbes' Steven Salzberg that blamed a whooping cough outbreak in the Northwest on unvaccinated children, Dr. Paul G. King, Ph.D., of FAME Systems deconstructs the popular misconception that infectious disease reemergence is the result of people not getting vaccinated. On the contrary, it is the vaccination schedule itself, which the federal government has been coercing people into complying with for nearly the entire last century, that is ultimately leading to and driving these outbreaks.
"Salsberg is simply using a longstanding 'straw man' created long ago by his fellow vaccine apologists to divert the public's attention from the reality that… the current pertussis vaccines are neither effective in providing those inoculated with them long-term protection from contracting whooping cough nor… cost effective," explains Dr. King in his paper.

If you're working on a project, you might need to keep track of time in Excel, so you can tell a client how much time you've spent on their project, and get paid for your work. Or, use the time data to see how much of your day is spent on productive tasks, and how much is spent Googling and tweeting.
Enter the Current Time
To calculate the time spent on a task, you'll need to have a start time and an end time.
To quickly enter the current time in Excel, use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + ;
- When you start a task, use the shortcut to enter the start time in one cell.
- When you finish working on a task, use the shortcut in an adjacent cell, to enter the end time.
In the screen shot below, the Task start times are entered in column B and the end times are entered in column C.
Calculate the Elapsed Time
Based on the start and end times, you can calculat the elapsed time, by subtracting the start time from the end time.
In this example, I'll calculate the time in cell D2, using this formula:
Format the Elapsed Time
There is a 15 minute difference in the start and end times in this example, but the result cell is showing a time – 12:15 AM
To see the result as hours and minutes of elapsed time, change the formatting:
- Select cell D2, where the elapsed time is calculated
- Press Ctrl + 1 to open the Format Cells dialog box
- On the Number tab, click the Time category
- Click on the 37:30:55 format, then click OK
This format displays an overall total of hours, minutes and seconds. Cell D2 now shows the elapsed time of 15 minutes.
Formula Error When No End Time
The formula works well if a start time and an end time have been entered. But there is a problem if only the start time has been entered.
The result in cell D3 is a negative number, because the start time is subtracted from zero (the value of empty cell C3).
Excel displays negative dates and times as #####.
To avoid this problem, add an IF function to the formula in cell D2, and copy it down to cell D3:
Now, the formula checks cell C2, and if it is empty, the formula result is zero.
Formula Error After Midnight
If you're burning the midnight oil on client projects, you'll run into another error. In the screen shot below, the start time for Task 3 is 10:30 PM, and I worked past midnight – ending at 12:30 AM.
The formula result is a negative number, because the end time is smaller than the start time.
To fix this problem, change the formula one more time. If the start time is greater than the end time, assume that the task ended the next day.
In that case, add 1 to the end time, which is the equivalent of adding a full day to the end time. That makes the end time greater than the start time, and the calculation will work correctly.
Add the Task Times
To get the total time for all your tasks, use the SUM function. It should automatically format the total cell in the 37:30:55 format, but if not, you can format the cell manually.

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Spread the bagel bits out on a baking sheet and toast until dry, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool, and increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
Melt the butter in a small sauce pan over low heat. Add the sesame seeds and garlic and swirl until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and cream cheese, increase the heat to medium and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the cream cheese.
Place half the bagel bits in a 9- by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle half of the red onions and capers over the stale bagel bits. Add the chopped smoked salmon. Cover this mix with the remaining the stale bagel bits and top with the remaining red onion and capers. Add the caper brine for good measure.
Now carefully pour the chicken stock cream-cheese mixture over the bagel bits. Use a rubber spatula to press the mix out evenly. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

One of the biggest myths going on for years in the online industry is that you need to pay out thousands of bucks to professional web developers to have a good-quality website for your business. But if this were true then there would not have been so many websites on the web. Although, having the expertise of a professional at your disposal will always lead to the creation of a fine website, the fact is that there are other more cost-effective ways of building a website such as using a website builder program.
Yet another misconception is that only a website builder program that costs hundreds of dollars can help you create the website that you want. Quite to the contrary, there are various free website builder programs that are just as effective and user-friendly in creating customized websites. There is no denying the fact that free web building tools are not as prolific in terms of offering additional features as paid software are, nevertheless, anyone who wishes to establish a decent website to promote their business will certainly find free tools to be ideally suited to their requirements.
Having said all, the choice you make while selecting a free website builder program can have far reaching consequences on your website and in turn, on your business. During your search for the best free website builder tool, you will come across free programs that are nothing more than an eyewash. If you end up working with a free website creator that is very basic and does not offer decent features, then you can forget about creating a good enough website to impress your potential customers. Whether you wish for a free website creator or a paid one, you need to pay attention to the features they have to offer and reading a few reviews can always come handy.
As long as you absorb your impression of a program or software from an honest review, you will never fail to miss the right program. Customer reviews provide fascinating insights into the user-friendliness of website builder programs because the reviewers give first-hand information about their experience and the problems they had to encounter while creating web pages. While going through reviews, you also have to keep reminding yourself that every free website builder program has its glitches and demerits. At the end of the day, you have to look out for the web building tool whose pros outweigh its cons. Making your own website can become a fun activity if you are lucky enough to pick the right website builder program that can provide decent usability and good customization options.
So create a free website today to enjoy the benefits of online website builder tools.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is disproportionately prevalent in older adults. The prognosis for these patients is influenced by a number of factors, including comorbidities and dependence in daily activities. Here, falls are postulated as another factor that may be associated by poorer outcomes among older adults with MM. This study sought to determine the prevalence of falls in a cohort of older adults with newly diagnosed MM and examine associations between falls and functional status, comorbidities, and self-reported health.
National epidemiologic data and self-reported data from the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey were used to identify patients with a diagnosis of MM who experienced at least 1 fall during the study period. Associations between falls and patient-reported data on function, comorbidities, and self-rated health were examined using standard statistical methods for this type of analysis. Researchers identified 1327 unique patients, of whom 376 completed their baseline Medicare Health Outcomes Survey within 1 year of diagnosis. Of these, 190 provided responses to the survey question regarding falls and are included in this analysis. Patients' median age was 77 years; 50% were male.
Over one-quarter (25.2%) of patients reported a fall within the prior 12 months. In terms of comorbidities, among patients who reported 2 or more weeks of depression in the past year, 41.4% of patients reported a fall, compared with only 20.1% of those who did not report depression (P = .004). Patients who reported a fall were also more likely to report a history of congestive heart failure (22.7% fallers vs 7.9% nonfallers; P = .012). Fallers were more likely to report limitations in moderate activities (81.2% vs 62.1%; P = .015) and in climbing several flights of stairs (89.1% vs 64.9%; P = .001). Compared with nonfallers, fallers reported more days in the past 30 days when their physical health was not good (15.8 vs 10.0 days; P = .024), more days in the past 30 days when their mental health was not good (10.7 days vs 4.1 days; P = .002), and more days in the past 30 days when their health interfered with their daily activities (14.3 vs 7.0 days; P = .001). The median overall survival among fallers was 25.0 months versus 52.0 months among nonfallers.
The researchers concluded that falls are relatively common in older adults with newly diagnosed MM, and are associated with more limited activity, depression, and congestive heart failure. Additional studies are needed to elucidate factors that predict falls in order to proactively develop target interventions aimed at preventing falls, especially among high-risk patients with MM.

NBC first aired The Cosby Show on September 20, 1984 and for the eight seasons that the show was being produced, it had a profound impact on the television industry. This situational comedy starred Bill Cosby and was centered on the Huxtable family. The Huxtables are an upper-middle class black family living in Brooklyn, New York. The patriarch of the family, Cliff (played by Bill Cosby), is a doctor while the matriarch, Claire, is an attorney. Together, Cliff and Claire have four daughters and a son that show the issues that the family faces through a comedic lens.
The Cosby Show made a deep impact on the television representations of blackness. Prior to The Cosby Show, blacks had been the center point of television shows that have either been set in a lower class lifestyle, as seen in Sanford & Son, or one that lacks a patriarchal family structure like that seen in Julia. The Cosby Show was a critically transformative moment for the representation of blacks on television because it completely changed the way that the culture of blackness was viewed. The Huxtables were universally appealing because they featured an upper-middle class family that happened to be black and in doing this they brought to light a region of blackness that hadn't previously been highlighted. They showcased the complexity of blackness that encompassed a middle class lifestyle. Through its feature of such complexity, it brought to light the upward social mobility being made by blacks which would expand the black middle class and make way for changes in African American culture. The Cosby Show also attempted to cast such a black middle class lifestyle with a dominant nuclear family unit in direct opposition to the Moynihan viewpoints that blamed the lack of a patriarchal family structure for lack of upward mobility in the black culture. The Cosby Show was written strongly with the underlying theme of "unity," which did come at the cost of placing the significant differences within "unity" on the backburner. Overall, The Cosby Show opened the door to introduce whites to the upward mobility of blacks and the television industry to these new, reformed representations of blackness and African American culture.
The Cosby Show generated a moment in television programming that changed the way in which we viewed blackness. The Huxtables allowed us to see the upward mobility and middle class lifestyle of blackness within a prototypical family structure. The show was a one that cast blacks in a way that could be understood by all, which came with some critiques, but overall paved the way for more shows to cast blackness within a similar setting. Therefore, we can say that starting September 20, 1984, the Crosby moment paved the way for a reformed viewpoint of African American culture via television programming.

Gili Trawangan Becomes the Third Cheapest Island in Southeast Asia
Besides being known for having a beautiful nature, Gili Trawangan is also visited by backpackers because of the cheap cost of living. Gili Trawangan is currently ranked third for the cheapest island in Southeast Asia. Excellent!
This ranking is given by the Trip Advisor travel sites. This site has just released Trip Index Island Sun 2013. It is a recent survey comparing the cost of one night tour for two people in 20 islands of major tourist destination in Southeast Asia.
Trip Advisor Trip Index Island Sun is based on the amount of the total cost for two people staying in a four star hotel, with a two course meal and coconut drinks, beers, massages, bicycle and diving gear rental. Fees collected accurate for the time period of 16 September to 3 October 2013.
"Welcoming the year-end holiday season, Trip Index Island Sun helps travelers know best what they get with the money they have," said Trip Advisor spokesman, Jean Ow -Yeong.
The result is that Gili Trawangan, Lombok is in the third position. According to the survey, two tourists can spend Rp 2,932,920 in one night.
Meanwhile, there are still two other islands in Indonesian that fall into 20 major destinations in South East Asia, namely Batam and Bali.
In one night, two tourists can spend Rp 3,393,004. Furthermore, Bali is at seventh rank. In one night, two tourists spend Rp 3,468,913.
Then in the first rank is Koh Phangan in Thailand with a total cost of Rp 2,647,186. The second rank is occupied by the island of Thailand, namely Koh Tao with a total cost of Rp 2,808,198.
While the most expensive island is occupied by Sentosa Island in Singapore at a cost of Rp9,706,016 according to TripIndex. This cost is three times the cost in Koh Phangan. Another expensive island is Langkawi Malaysia with a total cost of Rp 6,314,679.
"This list shows that Koh Phangan in Thailand is themost affordable tourist destination island, while the Sentosa Island in Singapore is the most expensive one. The biggest trigger of these costs is the price of the hotel accommodation followed by a massage for two people," said Ow – Yeong.
The following are 10 islands of major tourist destination in Southeast Asia and the total cost according to Trip Index.
1. Koh Pangan (Rp 2.647.186)
2. Koh Tao (Rp 2.808.198)
3. Gili Trawangan (Rp 2.932.920)
4. Ko Chang (Rp 3.158.949)
5. Cebu (Rp 3.284.004)

Around 8pm Thursday, May 17th police officers and fellow first responders attended a reported disturbance on Front Street in the City of Hamilton, near the junction with Burnaby Street.
It appears that two local men – believed to be 25 years old and 31 years old respectively – were involved in an altercation in the vicinity of No. 1 car park.
On the arrival of police and emergency medical technicians (EMTs), one of the men was visibly injured – however he apparently declined medical treatment.
It is said that the other man involved also declined medical assistance.
Both men have since been arrested and currently remain in police custody pending further inquiries.
A Magistrates' Court appearance is anticipated Monday, May 21st regarding this matter.
