"Women are not a niche."
More and more industry insiders are repeating that simple, yet critical, phrase. Pershing Advisor Solutions president (and ThinkAdvisor contributor) Mark Tibergien wrote a white paper and accompanying column in Investment Advisor on the subject last year. Sallie Krawcheck made it the subject of her presentation at the Envestnet conference in May. Despite the high-profile pleas, too many advisors still treat women as just another target market, akin to physicians or airline pilots.
Yet how can a demographic that accounts for more than 50% of the planet's population be a niche?
"You would never think of marketing to men as a niche," Jane Newton says. The JPMorgan alum, currently a partner and wealth advisor at RegentAtlantic Capital, doesn't claim to be an expert on women, "but I am an expert with the issues of women on Wall Street," and she's knocking down some of the more common, and obtuse, stereotypes that advisors hold when looking to attract more female clients.
"I cannot find consensus that all women want female advisors," she begins. "It instead comes down to trust. If you're asking someone to bare their soul, you have to make it comfortable for them. You can't have it like a doctor's office where they get into the white gown and wait in a cold and sterile environment."
Some women, she adds, specifically request to not work with female advisors, "so in order to instill that sense of trust, comfort and credibility in clients you should have a mix of male and female advisors on staff."
Conversely, she finds that some men want to work with female advisors; others don't. They might not want to work with a female advisor on their own situation, but they might have an elderly mother that's recently widowed, or a daughter that is an executive and needs financial advice.
"You can't lump together a woman who works on Wall Street with a woman who is recently widowed or divorced. The latter might be totally disengaged from their finances. My niche is high-level women on Wall Street, and even then they can't be lumped together. Some are financially savvy and some are not. Some may be in human resources, for instance, or might be mortgage specialists; others may be in the capital markets."
A niche is about setting a course of action for clients that betters their lives, she argues, so her male and female Wall Street clients actually have more in common with one another than many female clients have with other women. "For instance, their whole well-being is dependent on the well-being of Wall Street. They live primarily in the tri-state area and real estate rises and falls with the market. It's perfectly correlated; when it's good it's good, but when it's bad, it's really bad."
From a business standpoint, Wall Street women still struggle "to get a seat at the table" and raise their visibility among their male colleagues, she adds. They might know how to negotiate with their employees and negotiate with their children, but are really uncomfortable negotiating for themselves.
"For this reason, I put together the Wall Street Women Forum, which is now in its fifth year," Newton says. "It's an invitation only event for 125 women, and happens each spring. We talk about these issues. A woman might be considering a new job and wants to know if the numbers work. The headhunter can't tell her that, but we can sit down and go through it with her."
As to the issue of attracting more women to the RIA industry, one that is still overwhelmingly "male, pale and stale," she doesn't claim to have the answers, but she isn't discouraged.
"I think the wealth management field is terrific for women, and I struggle with the reason why we don't attract more," Newton concludes. "Part of the problem is that a young woman might approach their college professor about a job in financial services. Typically, the professor has contacts in the capital markets and investment banking sectors, so that's where the student will be steered. Whatever the reason, we need to do a better job of raising awareness among women about the RIA space, and I want to be a part of it!"

About Tom:
Born in Buffalo, Tom attended Kenmore-Tonawanda Schools, and graduated magna cum laude and as an Academic All-American and a member of Phi Beta Kappa from SUNY/Buffalo in 1987 with a BA in communication and history. At UB, Tom was privileged to attend several classes taught by the inimitable Bruce Jackson and Milton Plesur, and noted historian William Allen.
During his senior year at Kenmore East in 1981, Tom began his radio career. The following year, Tom was hired as a news anchor/reporter by WGR News Director Don Dussias, and also served as a locker room reporter for WGR's broadcasts of the Buffalo Sabres. In 1983, Tom began his talk radio career on WGR's "Extension 55" after John Otto left for KB Radio, and in 1987 became WGR's afternoon drive host. In 1989 Tom moved to Tampa and worked with talk radio legends Jay Marvin and Nancy "Fabulous Sports Babe" Donnellan. Later that year Tom was hired by KMOX in St. Louis, and spent 2 years there before returning to Buffalo to become morning drive host of "Breakfast with Bauerle" on WGR.
In 2000, WGR changed to an all-sports format, and Tom and Chris "The Bulldog" Parker pioneered the "guy talk" format with the hilarious "Bauerle and The Bulldog" program. Hilarious or disgusting, depending on your point of view! In 2002 Tom returned to his news/talk roots and became the host of WBEN's 3 PM - 7 Noon program. "Bauerle" covers a lot of ground, with a strong focus on the War on Terror and National Security, important community issues and fun topics.
Bauerle is known as a tough interviewer with eclectic interests and a rambunctious sense of humor. Tom has been cited by "Talkers" magazine as one of the "100 Most Important Talk Show Hosts in America." He has appeared on NBC's "Today," and Fox News Channel's "O'Reilly Factor" and "Hannity and Colmes."

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
- Alzheimer's Disease
- Attention Deficit Disorder
- Bipolar Disorder
- Bulimia
- Cancer Treatment Support
- Cancer Prevention
- Diabetic Neuropathy
- Metabolic Syndrome
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
- Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
- Psoriasis Caused by Treatment With Lithium
Inositol, unofficially referred to as "vitamin B 8 ," is present in all animal tissues, with the highest levels in the heart and brain. It is part of the membranes (outer coverings) of all cells, and plays a role in helping the liver process fats as well as contributing to the function of muscles and nerves.
Inositol may also be involved in depression. People who are depressed may have lower than normal levels of inositol in their spinal fluid. In addition, inositol participates in the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known to be a factor in depression. (Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit messages between nerve cells.) For these two reasons, inositol has been proposed as a treatment for depression, and preliminary evidence suggests that it may be helpful.
Inositol has also been tried for other psychological and nerve-related conditions.
Inositol is not known to be an essential nutrient. However, nuts, seeds, beans, whole grains, cantaloupe, and citrus fruits supply a substance called phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphate, or IP6), which releases inositol when acted on by bacteria in the digestive tract. The typical American diet provides an estimated 1,000 mg daily.
Therapeutic Dosages
Experimentally, inositol dosages of up to 18 g daily have been tried for various conditions.
Therapeutic Uses
Some but not all studies suggest that high-dose inositol may be useful for depression . 1-4
Inositol has also been studied for bipolar disorder , 5panic disorder , 6,7bulimia , 8 and obsessive-compulsive disorder , 9,10 but the evidence remains far from conclusive. Other potential uses include Alzheimer's disease11 and attention deficit disorder . 12
According to double-blind studies enrolling over 400 people, inositol may help improve various symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) , including infertility and weight gain. 31,33,35
There is also some preliminary evidence that inositol may be helpful for postmenopausal women who have metabolic syndrome . 34
Another very small double-blind study found that inositol supplements could help reduce symptoms of psoriasis triggered or made worse by use of the drug lithium . 32
A small double-blind study failed to find inositol helpful for premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) . 30
Inositol is sometimes proposed as a treatment for diabetic neuropathy , but there have been no double-blind, placebo-controlled studies on this subject, and two uncontrolled studies had mixed results. 13,14
Inositol has also been investigated for potential cancer-preventive properties, 15-22 and there is some evidence that it may help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy in women with breast cancer. 37
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Inositol?
Small double-blind studies have found inositol helpful for depression . 23,24 In one such trial, 28 depressed individuals were given a daily dose of 12 g of inositol for 4 weeks. 25 By the fourth week, the group receiving inositol showed significant improvement compared to the placebo group.
However, a double-blind study of 42 people with severe depression that was not responding to standard antidepressant treatment found no improvement when inositol was added. 26
Panic Disorder
People with panic disorder frequently develop panic attacks, often with no warning. The racing heartbeat, chest pressure, sweating, and other physical symptoms can be so intense that they are mistaken for a heart attack. A small double-blind study (21 participants) found that people given 12 g of inositol daily had fewer and less severe panic attacks as compared to the placebo group. 27
A double-blind, crossover study of 20 individuals compared inositol to the antidepressant drug fluvoxamine (Luvox), a medication related to Prozac. 28 The results over 4 weeks of treatment showed that the supplement was at least as effective as the drug.
Bipolar Disorder
In a 6-week, double-blind study, 24 individuals with bipolar disorder received either placebo or inositol (2 g three times daily for a week, then increased to 4 g three times daily) in addition to their regular medical treatment. 5 The results of this small study failed to show statistically significant benefits; however, promising trends were seen that suggest a larger study is warranted.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a chronic endocrine disorder in women that leads to infertility, weight gain, and many other problems. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 136 women with PCOS were given inositol at a dose of 100 mg twice daily, while 147 were given placebo. 31 Over the study period of 14 weeks, participants given inositol showed improvement in ovulation frequency as compared to those given placebo. Benefits were also seen in terms of weight loss and levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol. Other studies have also found positive results. 33,35,36
Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome consists of a cluster of conditions that promote cardiovascular disease, including obesity, unhealthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, and pre-diabetes. In one study, 80 postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome were treated with diet plus inositol (2 grams, twice daily) or diet plus placebo. 34 After 6 months of treatment, those in the inositol group had improvements in cholesterol and triglyceride levels, blood pressure, and insulin resistance (an indicator of pre-diabetes).
Safety Issues
No serious ill effects have been reported for inositol, even with a therapeutic dosage that equals about 18 times the average dietary intake. However, no long-term safety studies have been performed.
Although inositol has sometimes been recommended for bipolar disorder, there is evidence to suggest inositol may trigger manic episodes in people with this condition. 29 If you have bipolar disorder, you should not take inositol unless under a doctor's supervision.
Safety has not been established in young children, women who are pregnant or nursing, and those with severe liver and kidney disease. As with all supplements used in very large doses, it is important to purchase a reputable product, because a contaminant present even in small percentages could add up to a real problem.

The doctor will ask about your symptoms, and medical and family history. A physical exam will be done. There are 4 main tests used to diagnose diabetes. Most tests results should be confirmed with repeat testing. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends using one of the following tests to make the diagnosis:
Random Plasma Glucose Test
Symptoms typical of diabetes include excessive thirst and hunger, frequent urination, and weight loss. Your doctor will make the diagnosis based on your symptoms and the results of the random plasma glucose test. This test is taken any time of day (without regard to when you have last eaten). A sample of your blood will be taken. The blood glucose level will be measured. A measure of 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) (11.1 millimoles per liter of blood [mmol/L]) or higher along with typical symptoms indicates the presence of diabetes.
Fasting Plasma Glucose Test
You will need to avoid eating for at least 8 hours before the test. A sample of your blood will be taken. The blood glucose level will be measured. A level of 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L) or higher indicates a diagnosis of diabetes.
Two-hour Glucose Tolerance Test
This starts with a 3-day intake of a diet consisting of at least 150 grams of carbohydrates. You will then be asked to fast overnight (between 8-16 hours). The test is generally done in the morning, in your doctor's office.
A blood sample will be obtained from you to measure the blood sugar level. Then, you will drink 75 grams of glucose dissolved in water. Two hours later, another blood sample will be obtained to measure the blood sugar level. If you have diabetes, your blood sugar level will rise higher than normal and remain high for a much longer time than is normal. A measure of 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher at 2 hours is considered a positive test.
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
The HbA1c test is a good indicator of your average blood sugar levels over the previous 2-4 months. This test usually does not require any dietary restrictions. A blood sample will be taken. In most people, an HbA1c level of 6.5% or higher indicates a diagnosis of diabetes.
Other Commonly Ordered Tests
After the diagnosis of diabetes is confirmed, your doctor will most likely order the following tests:
- Urine microalbumin to see if there is any damage to your kidneys
- Blood lipids levels, such as total cholesterol levels, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, and triglycerides levels
- Kidney function tests, including serum creatinine; blood urea nitrogen (BUN); and potassium

Android Development on Arch
Getting SDK and IDE plugins
Install core SDK components from AUR:
Typical installation location is
When using Eclipse as an IDE you need to install the ADT plugin and related packages. If you get a message about unresolvable dependencies, install Java manually and try again. Alternatively you can use Netbeans for development after installing living and usually up to date plugin according to these instructions.
Setting up Eclipse
Most stuff required for Android development in Eclipse is already packaged in AUR:
Official plugin by Google – Eclipse ADT:
- eclipse-emfAUR
- eclipse-gefAUR
- eclipse-wtpAUR
- as an alternative, you can install the ADT via eclipse's built in "add new software" command (see instructions on ADT site).
- if you are in real trouble, it is also possible to download Android SDK and use the bundled Eclipse. This usually works without problems.
Enter the path to the Android SDK Location in
Windows -> Preferences -> Android
Setting up Netbeans
If you prefer using Netbeans as your IDE and want to develop Android applications, download the nbandroid by going to:
Tools -> Plugins -> Settings
Add the following URL: http://kenai.com/projects/nbandroid/downloads/download/updatecenter/updates.xml
Then go to Available Plugins and install the Android and Android Test Runner plugins for your IDE version. Once you have installed go to:
if you have problem with netbeans 7.2 "org.netbeans.modules.gsf.testrunner was needed and not found." Please remove the the Android and Android Test Runner , then change the url of nbandroid to: http://nbandroid.org/release72/updates/updates.xml , update the sources and you just need to install the Android only.
Tools -> Options -> Miscellaneous -> Android
and select the path where the SDK is installed. That's it, now you can create a new Android project and start developing using Netbeans.
Android platforms
Before developing android applications, you need to install at least one Android platform, which can be done either automatically or manually.
Automatic installation
Automatic installation is done via the Android SDK and device manager, which is accessible by invoking (assuming that the
$PATH variable contains the path to the Android SDK
tools directory):
or alternatively:
If the automatic installation errors out, then you must either run the android tool with heightened privileges or set your user account as the owner of the directory. To change the owner ID for all SDK directories, run the following command as root:
chown -R USER /opt/android-sdk
To change the group ID instead (recommended for multiple users), first create the group, perhaps called android, and add your user account to it:
groupadd android gpasswd -a USER android
Next, change the directory permissions:
chgrp -R android /opt/android-sdk chmod -R g+w /opt/android-sdk find /opt/android-sdk -type d -exec chmod g+s {} \;
The final command sets the setgid bit on all subdirectories so that any new files created within them will inherit the proper group ID.
For step-by-step automatic installation, see: Installing SDK Components.
Getting from AUR
AUR currently contains multiple packages with Android platforms sometimes duplicating each other and/or having incorrect file permissions set. All are listed at android-sdkAUR page (see dependent packages list).
Manual installation
For manual installation:
- Download the platform you want to develop on. This site provides online links to several Android SDK components.
- Extract the tarball to
Now, you should see the platform of your choice installed in the Installed Packages window of the Android SDK and device manager.
Android Debug Bridge (ADB) - Connecting to a real device
To get ADB to connect to a real device or phone under Arch, you must install the udev rules to connect the device to the proper
/dev/ entries.
Using existing rules
Install the AUR package android-udevAUR to get a common list of vendor IDs. If ADB recognizes your device (it is visible and accessible in IDE), you are done. Otherwise see instructions below.
Figure Out Your Device Ids
Each Android device has a USB vendor/product ID. An example for HTC Evo is:
vendor id: 0bb4 product id: 0c8d
Plug in your device and execute:
# lsusb
It should come up something like this:
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 0bb4:0c8d High Tech Computer Corp.
Adding udev Rules
Use the rules from Android developer or you can use the following template for your udev rules, just replace [VENDOR ID] and [PRODUCT ID] with yours. Copy these rules into
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="[VENDOR ID]", MODE="0666" SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="[VENDOR ID]",ATTR{idProduct}=="[PRODUCT ID]",SYMLINK+="android_adb" SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="[VENDOR ID]",ATTR{idProduct}=="[PRODUCT ID]",SYMLINK+="android_fastboot"
Then, to reload your new udev rules, execute:
# udevadm control --reload-rules
Note: reloading udev rules under systemd should not be required, as any rule changes should be picked up automatically.
Does It Work?
After you have setup the udev rules, unplug your device and replug it.
After running:
$ adb devices
you should see something like:
List of devices attached HT07VHL00676 device
If you do not have the adb program (usually available in
/opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/), it means you have not installed the platform tools.
If you are getting an empty list (your device isn't there), it may be because you have not enabled USB debugging on your device. You can do that by going to Settings => Applications => Development and enabling USB debugging. On Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) the Development menu is hidden; to enable it go to Settings => About phone and tap Build number 7 times.
# gpasswd -a username adbusers
If there are still problems such as adb displaying "???????? no permissions" under devices, try restarting the adb server as root.
# adb kill-server # adb start-server
Tools specific to NVIDIA Tegra platform
If you target your application at NVIDIA Tegra platform, you might also want to install tools, samples and documentation provided by NVIDIA. In NVIDIA Developer Zone for Mobile there are two packages - Tegra Android Development Pack, available from AUR as tegra-devpackAUR and Tegra Toolkit, available from AUR as tegra-toolkitAUR.
The tegra-toolkitAUR package provides tools (mostly CPU and GPU optimization related), samples and documentation, while the tegra-devpackAUR provides tools (NVIDIA Debug Manager) related to Eclipse ADT and their documentation.
Building Android
To build android, you need to install these packages.
For 32 bits or 64 bits systems
git gnupg flex bison gperf sdl wxgtk squashfs-tools curl ncurses zlib schedtool openjdk6 perl-switch zip unzip
Only for 64 bits systems
lib32-zlib lib32-ncurses lib32-readline gcc-libs-multilib gcc-multilib lib32-gcc-libs
And you need to change the default python from version 3 to version 2
# rm /usr/bin/python # ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python
Download the repo utility.
$ mkdir ~/bin $ export PATH=~/bin:$PATH $ curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo $ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Create a directory to build.
$ mkdir ~/android $ cd ~/android
Synchronize the repositories.
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest (checkout the master) $ repo sync
Wait a lot.
When finished, start building.
$ source build/envsetup.sh $ lunch full-eng $ make -j4
If you run lunch without arguments, it will ask what build you want to create. Use -j with a number between the number of cores and 2 * number of cores.
The build takes a lot of time.
When finished, run the final image.
$ emulator
Tips & Tricks
During Debugging "Source not found"
Most probably the debugger wants to step into the Java code. As the source code of Android does not come with the Android SDK, this leads to an error. The best solution is to use step filters to not jump into the Java source code. Step filters are not activated by default. To activate them:
Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Debug -> Step Filtering
Consider to select them all. If appropriate you can add the android.* package. See the forum post for more information: http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t83338.rhtml
Linux distribution on the sdcard
You can install Debian like in this thread. Excellent guide to installing Arch in chroot (in parallel with Android) can be found on archlinuxarm.org forum.
Android SDK on Arch 64
When using the Android SDK and the Eclipse plugin on a 64 bit system, and the 'emulator' always crashes with a segfault, do the following: Provide a localtime file in /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime e.g.:
# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /usr/share/zoneinfo/localtime
Better MTPFS Support
If you have an Android device that doesn't support UMS and you find mtpfs to be extremely slow you can install jmtpfsAUR from the AUR.


text:
Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is a condition that affects polio survivors. About 20%-40% of people who recover from polio will later develop PPS. The onset may occur 10-40 years after the initial polio attack.
The exact cause is unknown. It is not related to the original polio virus itself. Instead, the syndrome is due to nerve and muscle damage that may have been caused by the original infection.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of developing PPS include:
- Previous polio attack
- Severe original polio attack
- Later age at onset of infection
Symptoms may include:
- Slowly progressive muscle weakness
- Muscular atrophy
- Muscle spasms
- Muscle pain
- Difficulty swallowing or breathing
- Intolerance to heat or cold
If the symptoms during the first attack of polio were severe, the symptoms of PPS may also be severe.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A neuromuscular exam may also be done. PPS may be hard to diagnose because symptoms come and go. The symptoms may also overlap with other diseases.
Testing often involves electromyography. This measures how well your nerves and muscles are communicating.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with an MRI scan .
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
- Muscle biopsy
- Lumbar puncture to assess the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the spinal cord and brain
Treatment focuses on managing symptoms. The goals are to:
- Prevent overuse of weak muscles
- Prevent disuse, atrophy, and weakness
- Protect joints from weak muscles
- Maximize function
- Minimize discomfort
Treatment may include:
- Physical therapy
- Occupational therapy
- Speech therapy
- Assistive devices
- Weight loss, if overweight
- Medication to relieve muscle spasms and pain
- Occasionally, surgery to correct deformities that interfere with function
- Immunoglobulin—currently being studied to treat PPS
There are no current guidelines to prevent PPS. Polio survivors who keep physically fit may have a reduced risk of PPS.

Precious time is often lost through the handling of Software For Retail Shop . Similarly, the more cash is handled the greater the security risk in stores. Fortunately, Point of Sale (POS) technology is making better control of cash in retail stores possible, resulting in benefit for both staff and customers.
One German furniture company has estimated that the payment process and handling of cash at the checkout takes between 15 to 25 seconds. As this is only one part of processing pos system, 15 to 25 seconds is quite substantial time and, when the seconds are calculated for the cash handling from every sale throughout the day…till operators are spending more time on this process than most business owners would like.
Then, there is also the concern of cash robbery and theft. On any given day in a retail business, one, a few or many more employees will handle cash. Think how many different times and how many different people will handle cash in a supermarket on any one day. It is also probable that many managers are reconciling cash and making deposits, which is why they use point of sale systems.
How Do You Select the Best Point Of Sale Systems in Software For Retail Shop ?
In a competitive market, point of sale displays help solve several of a marketer's short-term hurdles. The impact of sales promotion measures is not durable like the results obtained through advertising and personal selling. Sale displays by and large are understood and practiced as a catalyst and as a supporting facility to advertising and personal selling.
Point of sale displays differs from advertising in many ways. Whereas advertising is mostly an indirect and subtle approach towards persuading consumers to buy a product, sale displays is a direct and almost open inducement to consumers to immediately try the product. Secondly, advertising normally has long-term objectives like building brand awareness or building consumer loyalty or repositioning a brand, sale displays performs an immediate task of increasing current sales. Finally, advertising helps sales by adding some durable and long-term value to the product, while point of sale displays aid selling by temporarily changing the existing price-value relationship of the product.
The above categorization is based on the marketing problem to be tackled. If we look at the target group to whom sale displays measures are normally aimed at, we find four broad target groups, viz. the consumer, the trade or channel and influential groups. Bulk of the sale displays effort is aimed at the consumer and the trade.
POS - Point of Sale Explained
It can be challenging to find the right Point of Sale software system for your business. This article provides a checklist of features you should consider when making your decision. In part one, we will look at point-of-sale, customer tracking, and security features.

Point Of Sale Systems
The term point-of-sale is used to describe a variety of things. This can include the checkout counter in a store or a place where transactions occur. More frequently, the phrase refers to a computerized cash register. The commonly used abbreviation for point-of-sale is POS. Each letter in the abbreviation is pronounced individually (e.g. P-O-S) versus pronouncing the abbreviation itself (e.g. paws).
When computers were first invented, large retailers were the first to implement point-of-sale systems to help automate many of the tasks involved with operating a retail store. These computers were very large and expensive. This limited the adoption of point-of-sale systems to large retailers such as grocery chains. The introduction of low cost personal computers during the 1980s allowed retail stores of all sizes to improve efficiencies with the help of pos systems.
A common point-of-sale system includes a computer, cash drawer, receipt printer, pole display, bar code scanner, magnetic swipe reader, modem and point-of-sale software. Each piece provides the following functionality:
- Personal Computer - Operates the POS software and provides hardware interfaces for devices such as printers, credit card readers and so on.
- Cash Drawer - A lock box that stores cash and is triggered to open by the pos software.
- Receipt Printer - Prints a paper copy of the sales transaction for the customer.
- Pole Display - LED display that faces the customer and shows each item and price scan.
2. Create inventory records and SKUs via the purchase order
3. Receive goods against the purchase order
4. On hand stock levels are increased based upon receiving
5. Print price tag with bar codes
6. Sell the goods via the point-of-sale cash register
7. On hand stock levels are depleted based upon SKU scans
8. Perpetual Inventory is automatically maintained
9. Generate reports on sales, inventory levels, purchases, and receiving
10. Manage inventory buying and markdown behavior based upon sales trends
As you can see, the simple point-of-sale system grew into a powerful information system for managers and store owners. Today, point-of-sale systems continue to innovate and some even include:
- eCommerce integration
- Integrated accounting
- CRM - Customer Relationship Module
- Electronic payment processing
- Gift card management
- Service order management
- Marketing
- Revolving accounts receivable
- Customer traffic counters
- Integrated video surveillance
- Open To Buy planning
- Linear inventory modeling
- Special order management
- EDI (electronic ordering)
- And much more...
As retail management systems continue to add more robust features, the term point-of-sale will continue to refer to just a module within the overall system.

Proposed Uses:
The substance gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter, a chemical used by the human nervous system to send messages and modulate its own function. GABA acts in an inhibitory manner, tending to cause nerves to "calm down." Drugs in the benzodiazepine-receptor-agonist (BzRA) family (a family that includes true benzodiazepines such as valium, as well as related drugs such as Ambien or Lunesta) exert their effect by facilitating the ability of GABA to bind to receptor sites in the brain. This in turn leads to relaxation, relief from anxiety, induction of sleep, and suppression of seizure-activity.
Unfortunately, when GABA is taken orally, GABA levels in the brain do not increase, presumably because the substance itself cannot pass the blood-brain barrier and enter the central nervous system. 1 For this reason, oral GABA supplements cannot replicate the effect of tranquilizing drugs, even though they work through a GABA-related mechanism. GABA supplements can affect the peripheral nervous system, however, as well as any other part of the body not protected by the blood brain barrier. Some evidence suggests that orally ingested GABA might cause physiological changes that lead to benefit for hypertension.
GABA is not a required nutrient and it is not found to any extent in food. However, certain probiotics in the Lactobacillus family can be induced to produce GABA as they ferment milk and soy products. 8 GABA supplements can also be created entirely synthetically.
Therapeutic Dosages
In the best designed study of GABA for reducing blood pressure (described below), the dosage used was 10 mg daily.
Much higher dosages are sometimes recommended by alternative practitioners for treating anxiety or insomnia, as high as 1000 mg daily, in the (probably vain) hope that some tiny amount of this orally ingested GABA might make it into the brain.
Therapeutic Uses
As noted above, GABA is still sometimes recommended for treatment of anxiety and insomnia , but it is almost certainly ineffective for these purposes.
However, evidence from animal studies 2-6 and preliminary studies in humans 1,7 hint that GABA supplements can reduce blood pressure .
In the best of the human trials, 39 people with mild hypertension were given either a fermented milk product providing GABA at a dose of 10 mg daily, or placebo, for 12 weeks. 1 The results indicated that GABA modestly decreased blood pressure levels. However, this study was small and suffered from significant problems in design. Additional research will be necessary before GABA can be considered an effective treatment for high blood pressure.
Safety Issues
No serious adverse effects have been associated with the use of GABA. Nonetheless, comprehensive safety studies have not been performed. Maximum safe doses in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease have not been established.

Moving Back Home to New Orleans
A version of this article appears in the September/October 2010 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 03, 2010
Project Home Again develops a replicable model for post-Katrina rebuilding.
Almost five years ago, when Hurricane Katrina went spiraling across the Gulf of Mexico heading straight for a direct hit on the city of New Orleans, kindergarten teacher Chanda Hayes and her two teenage children, Courtney, 13, and Kevin, 14, packed up the family car and left town as quickly as they could, seeking refuge with relatives in Atlanta. Like a lot New Orleanians, they expected to stay a few days, a week at the most. Instead, they wound up staying four years.

Hydralazine causes dilation of the walls of blood vessels and is sometimes used to treat hypertension.
Hydralazine is known to deplete the blood of vitamin B 6 . Taking B 6 supplements may prevent or reverse side effects of the medication. 1,2
There is some evidence that hydralazine might impair the body's ability to manufacture the substance coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10 ). 3 This suggests (but definitely does not prove) that taking CoQ 10 supplements may produce a beneficial effect.
The herb Coleus forskohlii relaxes blood vessels and might have unpredictable effects if combined with hydralazine.

Measuring Your Piercing - Jewellery Measuring Guide
Wearing the correct size of body jewellery is very important. If you wear a size that is too small it could easily irritate or hurt your piercing. If your jewellery is too big it can easily catch your clothes resulting in a damaged piercing.
The measurements to consider with each piece of jewellery are as follows:
Length / Diameter of the jewellery. (A / B in the diagram above)
The above example pictures show you the measurements that you need to take for a Banana Bar, a Ball Closure Ring (BCR), a Barbell and a Labret. Only measure a piece of jewellery that currently fits you correctly.
An alternative method is to directly measure your piercing between both holes using a ruler, although this can sometimes be difficult on your own.
Thickness / Gauge of the jewellery (C in the diagram)
The most common sizes are as follows:
* Navel, Tongue and Nipple jewellery - 1.6mm (or 14 Gauge)
* Eyebrow - 1.2mm (16 Gauge)
* Nose - 1.0mm (18 Gauge)
* Labret piercings are usualy either 1.2mm (16 Gauge) or 1.6mm (14 Gauge)
These are the the standard thicknesses of body jewellery that we sell, so unless you have an unusual piercing, you do not have to worry about this measurement.
We often get asked what are the sizes of jewellery in my country. In Europe thickness is shown in mm but in other parts of the world people use gauge. The following table should help you convert the sizes.
Thickness Conversion
* 1mm = 18 gauge
* 1.2mm = 16 gauge
* 1.6mm = 14 gauge
* 2mm = 12 gauge
* 2.4mm = 10 gauge
* 3.2mm = 8 gauge
* 4mm = 6 gauge
* 5mm = 4 gauge
* 6mm = 2 gauge
* 8mm = 0 gauge
Length/Diameter Conversion
* 6mm = 1/4"
* 8mm = 5/16"
* 10mm = 3/8"
* 11mm = 7/16"
* 12mm = 1/2"
* 14mm = 9/16"
* 16mm = 5/8"
* 18mm = 11/16"
* 19mm = 3/4"
* 21mm 13/16"
Crystal and Materials Colour Charts
Please note that these colours are shown to give an indication of the colour of the jewellery but slight colour variations do occur occasionally. Not all designs are available in all colours.

Man Man Return With 'Life Fantastic,' Pitchfork Premieres First Track "Knuckle Down"
As frontman Honus Honus explains. "Contextually, this is an album fueled by the end of relationships, the death of good friends, an absence of structure, drifting from place to place without a real home. It's funny because in the past I was able to take bad situations and turn them into something creative but this time around I just couldn't at all. I felt nothing, which was worse than being miserable and depressed. Sometimes I guess you have to stumble around in a fog for awhile until you find a way out, rediscover your heart, take comfort in knowing that the only thing you really have control over is how you choose to roll with the punches. In many ways, this is an album about carrying on."
Life Fantastic is the first Man Man album with a proper producer behind the boards. And not just any knob-twiddler, either. We're talking Mike Mogis, the Bright Eyes member responsible for the widescreen backdrops of nearly every major Saddle Creek release. The record also features lush string arrangements by fellow Bright Eyes member Nate Walcott.
"The songs were fully-formed entities by the time we got to Mike's studio," says Kattner, "But he was there to say things like, 'Okay, that's a bit (too) much.' He was able to help us carve the beauty out of the chaos we brought. It wasn't whittling down the points; it was sharpening them so they'd puncture even deeper."
The celebrated avant-garde rock outfit Man Man will release their brand new album entitled Life Fantastic this May 10 on Anti-Records. The album opener "Knuckle Down" is available for streaming today on href="http://pitchfork.com/news/41795-man-man-announce-new-album/">Pitchfork>.

Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Pregnant women occasionally experience an increase in blood pressure known as gestational hypertension or pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). In a more severe condition called pre-eclampsia, a rise in blood pressure is accompanied by protein in the urine and sometimes by sudden weight gain, swelling in the face or hands, and other symptoms. When left untreated, pre-eclampsia can lead to seizures (called eclampsia) or liver, kidney, or bleeding problems in the mother and distress or delayed growth in the fetus. Unless pre-eclampsia is mild, doctors usually seek to deliver the baby early.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Although there are no fully established natural treatments for the prevention of pre-eclampsia or PIH, calcium has shown significant promise.
A meta-analysis (statistical review) of 11 studies of calcium supplementation in pregnancy, involving a total of more than 6,000 women, found that calcium slightly reduced the risk of pre-eclampsia and hypertension, particularly in two groups of women: those at high risk for hypertension and/or those with low calcium intakes. 1
However, by far the largest single study in the meta-analysis found no benefits. 2 In this double-blind study, researchers gave either 2 g of calcium or placebo daily to 4,589 women from weeks 13 to 21 of their pregnancy onward. In the end, researchers found no significant decreases in rates of hypertension or pre-eclampsia—not even when they looked specifically at women whose daily calcium consumption mirrored that of women in developing countries.
The meta-analysis included this negative study in its calculations, but still found that calcium seemed to be helpful.
In a subsequent double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in 2006 and conducted by the World Health Organization, calcium supplements (1.5 g per day) were tried in 8,325 pregnant women whose calcium intake was inadequate. 28 Calcium failed to reduce the incidence of pre-eclampsia. However, it did appear to reduce the severity of pre-eclampsia episodes.
The bottom line: Calcium might be of some benefit for those pregnant women who are at high risk for hypertension or deficient in calcium. However, for well-nourished, low-risk women, effects are likely to be minimal or nil.
All of the above refers to preventing pre-eclampsia. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study suggests that calcium supplements are not effective for treating pre-eclampsia that has already developed. 3
Note: Calcium appears to offer the additional benefit of reducing blood levels of lead during pregnancy. 4
Interestingly, weak evidence hints that use of calcium by pregnant mothers might reduce risk of hypertension in their children. 33
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Calcium article.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Antioxidants are substances that fight free radicals, dangerous naturally occurring molecules that may play a role in pre-eclampsia. For various theoretical reasons, it has been proposed that use of antioxidants by pregnant women may help stop pre-eclampsia from developing. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study found evidence that a combination of the antioxidant vitamin E (400 IU daily) and vitamin C (1,000 mg daily) reduced incidence of pre-eclampsia. 5 Benefits were also seen in another study of this combination, 25 as well as a study using a mixture of numerous antioxidants along with other nutrients. 32 Additionally, a double-blind trial found potential preventive effects with the antioxidant substance lycopene (taken at 2 mg twice daily). 21 However, researchers caution that further study is necessary: Many other treatments have shown initial promise for preventing pre-eclampsia, but lost luster when subsequent studies were performed.
The most prominent of these once-promising substances include folate , magnesium , omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil), and zinc . 7-17,22,24 Furthermore, a large follow-up study of vitamin E combined with vitamin C failed to find any benefit, 29 and in a review of 10 studies involving a total of 6,533 subjects, antioxidant supplementation (of mostly vitamins E and C) during pregnancy did not reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia or any of its complications. 34 In addition, a high-quality randomized trial of 1,365 high-risk pregnant women found that daily supplementation with combination vitamin E (400 IU) and vitamin C (1,000 mg) through delivery was not associated with reduced risk of pre-eclampsia or other serious outcomes. 35
One study involving 235 pregnant women in Ecuador (average age 17.5 ) suggests that daily supplementation with 200 mg of coenzyme Q10 during the second half of pregnancy may reduce the risk of developing preeclampsia. 36 Though promising, the reliability of these results is in question because of low compliance with the supplements.
Results are mixed, yet somewhat positive on the potential benefits of arginine for treatments of pre-eclampsia. 26,27,30,37 In one study, 672 pregnant women at high-risk for pre-eclampsia were randomized to receive one of three treatments: arginine plus antioxidants, antioxidants alone, or placebo. 37 The women were followed until they gave birth. Those taking arginine plus antioxidants were at a lower risk of developing pre-eclampsia compared to the other two groups.
Evening primrose oil has failed to prove helpful, 20 as has a combination of vitamin C , vitamin E , and the drug allopurinol. 6 However, magnesium , taken by injection but not orally, appears to provide meaningful benefits. 18,19,23
One study failed to find N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) helpful for severe pre-eclampsia. 31

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
During regular check ups, your doctor will ask lifestyle questions, including those about alcohol use. Brief questionnaires may also be used to help identify unhealthy alcoholic habits. An honest conversation with the doctor is important for all aspects of health.

The rotator cuff is a group of 4 muscles in the shoulder and upper arm. The muscles help to move the arm at the shoulder and to stabilize the joint. The muscles are connected to the shoulder bone by tendons, which are strong, flexible cords. The muscles or tendons may become damaged from long term overuse or from injury.
Reasons for Procedure
Your doctor may recommend this procedure for:
- A rotator cuff injury that does not respond to rest and physical therapy treatment
- A complete tear in the tendon
- Chronic pain and weakness from a partial tear in the tendon
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Infection
- Excess bleeding
- Blood clots
- Reaction to anesthesia
- Weakness or numbness in shoulder joint
- Detachment of the shoulder muscle
- The operation does not improve function
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Smoking
- Alcohol abuse
- Obesity
- Diabetes or other chronic disease
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
Before this procedure, you will need to:
- Talk to your doctor about any medications, herbs, or supplements you are taking
- Talk to your doctor about any allergies you have
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure
- Arrange for help at home while you recover
- Ask your doctor about assisted devices you will need
You may need to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before your procedure, unless told otherwise by your doctor.
General anesthesia is typically used. You will be asleep during the procedure.
Description of Procedure
There are 2 methods used to perform a rotator cuff repair:
A cut will be made in the skin over the shoulder. The torn muscle or tendon will be repaired and reattached and/or anchored with stitches. The incision will then be closed with stitches or staples.
A few small incisions will be made in the shoulder. A narrow tool called an arthroscope will be inserted through the incision. The scope has a tiny camera to allow the doctor to see inside. Other small instruments will be inserted through the other incisions. These tools will be used to repair the tendon or muscle.
After either procedure, the incisions will be bandaged. Your arm will be placed in a sling or brace to immobilize the joint.
How Long Will It Take?
About 1½ to 2 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You may have some discomfort immediately after. Ask your doctor about medication to help with the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
You may be able to go home the same day. Some may need to stay in the hospital overnight.
Post-procedure Care
Right after the procedure, you may be given medication, such as:
- Pain medication
- Antibiotics to prevent infection
- Medication that prevents blood clots
When you return home, take these steps:
When you return home, take these steps:
- Do not use the arm until instructed. Wear the sling or brace as directed.
- Follow instructions for physical therapy. Therapy is essential to regain shoulder strength and range of motion.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions .
The rotator cuff will take several months to heal. It may take some time before you can raise your arm above your shoulder. It may be up to 1 year before you can hold your arm above your head and do work with reasonable strength. An aggressive and consistent physical therapy and exercise program is the key to a faster recovery.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge at the incision site
- Pain that cannot be controlled with the medications you were given
- Nausea or vomiting
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- The stitches or staples come apart
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Falls, blows to the head, sports injuries, and even listening to loud music can cause ear damage, which can affect hearing and balance. That's because the ear not only helps us hear, but also keeps us steady on our feet.
Kids need to hear well to develop and use their speech, social, and listening skills. Even mild or partial hearing loss can affect their ability to speak and understand language, while problems with balance can influence how they're able to move and how well they feel.
To understand ear injuries, it's helpful to review the ins and outs of the ears. Basically, the ear is made up of three parts — the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear.
Hearing begins when sound waves that travel through the air reach the outer ear, or pinna (the visible part of the ear). The outer ear captures the sound vibration and sends it through the ear canal to the middle ear, which contains the eardrum (a thin layer of tissue) and three tiny bones (called ossicles). The sound causes the eardrum to vibrate. The ossicles amplify these vibrations and carry them to the inner ear.
The inner ear is made up of a snail-shaped chamber (the cochlea), which is filled with fluid and lined with four rows of tiny hair cells. When the vibrations move through this fluid, the outer hair cells contract back and forth and amplify the sound.
When the vibrations are big enough, the inner hair cells translate them into electrical nerve impulses in the vestibulocochlear nerve (also called the auditory nerve, acoustic nerve, or eighth cranial nerve), which sends signals to the brain to be interpreted as sound. The vestibulocochlear nerve also helps with balance.
Hearing loss and balance problems can happen when there's damage to key parts of the ear, like the eardrum, ear canal, ossicles, cochlea, or the vestibular nerve.
Here's a look at the most common causes of ear injuries and how they can affect kids:
Cuts, scrapes, burns, or frostbite. When there's an injury (even minor) to the outer ear or ear canal, bleeding and infection can affect other parts of the ear.
Inserting something into the ear. Things like a cotton swab, fingernail, or pencil can scratch the ear canal or cause a tear or hole in the eardrum (called a ruptured eardrum).
Direct blows to the ear or head. Falls, car accidents, sports injuries, or fights may tear the eardrum, dislocate the ossicles, or damage the inner ear. Wrestlers, boxers, and other athletes who endure repeated forceful hits to the outer ear can develop severe bruising or blood clots that block blood flow to the cartilage of the outer ear and damage its shape and structure (known as cauliflower ear).
Loud noise. Kids can have significant or permanent hearing loss when they're exposed to really loud noises daily or over a long period of time. This is called acoustic trauma or noise-induced hearing loss.
When this happens, the tiny hairs in the cochlea become damaged. Loud sounds (like a gunshot, firecracker, or explosion) can cause it, as can noises that are repeated over time (like lawn mowers, power tools, farm equipment, noise from sporting events, band or shop classes, motorbikes, even movie theaters). But for kids and teens, listening to loud music (at concerts, in the car, through headphones) is one of the chief causes of this type of preventable hearing loss.
Sudden, significant change in air pressure. When we fly or scuba dive, air pressure decreases as we go higher and increases as we go lower. If the pressure isn't equalized, the higher air pressure pushes on one side of the eardrum and causes pain and sometimes partial hearing loss, called barotrauma.
Normally, the eustachian tube (a passageway that leads from the middle ear to the back of the throat behind the nose) equalizes the air pressure in the middle ear to the outside air pressure by opening and letting air reach the middle ear. When your ears "pop" while yawning or swallowing, your eustachian tubes are adjusting the air pressure in your middle ears.
But in kids, the relatively narrow eustachian tubes may not work as well, especially if they're clogged by inflammation and mucus from an ear infection or cold, or blocked by enlarged or swollen adenoids. Any pain or hearing problems are usually minor and temporary, though — they usually go away within minutes and don't cause any lasting damage. In some cases, a child can have pain for several hours if the ears don't "pop." Occasionally, extreme pressure changes can fill the middle ear with fluid or blood or cause the eardrum to burst.
Ear injuries can affect kids differently. Some may have partial hearing loss, with symptoms like:
In other cases, kids may have complete hearing loss or deafness (when they can't hear anything at all).
Depending on whether they hurt one or both ears, kids with ear injuries that affect balance may have symptoms like:
You can't protect children from getting hurt all the time — accidents and injuries are par for the course with raising kids. But you can keep prevent some ear injuries by encouraging kids to:
How long hearing or balance problems last and how they're treated will depend on what part of the ear was hurt, what caused the injury, and how severe it is. While minor injuries usually cause temporary problems, serious injuries may cause permanent hearing loss or balance problems.
Vestibular therapy may help kids with balance problems. And some with significant hearing loss may need a hearing aid, an FM system or auditory trainer (specialized devices that block out background noise), or a cochlear implant (a surgically implanted device that helps overcome problems in the inner ear, or cochlea). They also might need listening therapy with an audiologist (hearing specialist).
Make sure to call your doctor if your child has:
If there's a concern, your doctor can refer you to an ear, nose, and throat specialist and possibly an audiologist to figure out the next step to take./p>

As quality and security software compliance mandates now spiral around us, the firm's Development Testing Maturity Model is a branded product that champions a "phased-in approach" to development testing adoption and software development lifecycle integration.
These services use the SAVE static analysis verification engine as a foundation and the total package here includes code verification services, training, and developer certification. An audit service provides visibility into the quality and security of code supplied by third parties.
Also included is a security service that addresses the top OWASP and CWE issues that impact Java web applications — and this enables them to reduce their risk of security vulnerabilities as well as improve the collaboration between internal development and security teams.
"Development testing is now an industry best practice for all types of companies that develop software-based products and services. However, even with the benefits of development testing, organizations need to ensure its implementation doesn't disrupt the software development process or distract the team from getting products to market quickly and on-schedule," said Coverity's Sunil Nagdev.

Danger stalks the city of steam and shadows.
Janus Mikani and Celeste Ritsuko work all hours in the Criminal Investigation Division, keeping citizens safe. He's a charming rogue with an uncanny sixth sense; she's all logic—and the first female inspector. Between his instincts and her brains, they collar more criminals than any other partnership in the CID.
Then they're assigned a potentially volatile case where one misstep could end their careers. At first, the search for a missing heiress seems straightforward, but when the girl is found murdered—her body charred to cinders—Mikani and Ritsuko's modus operandi will be challenged as never before. Before long, it's clear the bogeyman has stepped out of nightmares to stalk gaslit streets, and it's up to them to hunt him down. There's a madman on the loose, weaving blood and magic in an intricate, lethal ritual that could mean the end of everything…
What was it like collaborating with your husband?
It was the best partnership I've ever had. It's fantastic because when one of has an idea, the other is right there to talk it through. Due to other deadlines and his work load from the day job, we ended up rewriting the manuscript in about a month--and let me tell you, that was stressful. But we buckled down and got it finished... then we ended up doing another round of revisions after that. But the finished book is quite wonderful. I can't wait for everyone to read it!
What do you think about the cover? How did it come together?
I've had many lovely covers from Ace over the years, but this is my favorite. I love it SO MUCH; Andres feels the same. These are the characters we've been carrying around for years now.
My editor, Anne Sowards, asked for a great deal of input regarding what we thought it should look like, so Andres and I found some examples of steampunk covers we truly admired, included those, plus detailed descriptions of the leads, ideas for the background, and then we also put Cliff Nielsen on our short list of dream artists. To our utter delight, they ran with our concept and they contracted Mr. Nielsen to do the cover. He brought our vision to life so beautifully that I can't even articulate it. I'm thrilled!
What should readers know about the series? And why steampunk?
Like all my books, there are compelling characters, but readers should know that my husband is especially meticulous about world-building. He comes to it from a gaming perspective, so he's got incredibly detailed charts and graphs. He's working on maps, too, both of the island and the city. Our goal is to offer enough source materials that people could set a roleplaying game in Dorstaad. The writing is also more descriptive and lyrical; and that's Andres's influence as well. Our editor actually commented on how lovely the writing is, which is pretty cool.
I'd call this steampunk noir, actually, because it is, essentially, a detective story set in a neo-Victorian world. There are steampunk elements, but there's also magic, darkness, romance, and action. I hope you'll all check it out!
Good luck!
EDIT: If the Rafflecopter isn't working AGAIN, just leave a comment about the cover and mention that you're entering the giveaway. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience!

A blessed Lent to all!

My question is this; if we are cleansed of sin thru Christ, why would we need anything beyond that? Why would we need to even go to purgatory?
I completely understand the concept of confession.A protestant would just ask why you need to do it to your priest And while I am not completely orthodox yet, I am not protestant either. I actually look forward to confession is a weird way.
Quote from: Quinault on December 27, 2007, 04:39:50 PMMy question is this; if we are cleansed of sin thru Christ, why would we need anything beyond that? Why would we need to even go to purgatory?This is so similar to the Protestant question - If we are forgiven our sins by the Cross, why do we need to go to Confession?
This is so similar to the Protestant question - If we are forgiven our sins by the Cross, why do we need to go to Confession? I wonder what's the longest we've gone without someone making a guilt-by-association argument. -Peter.
And then the concept of "grave" "mortal" and "venial" sins seems quite odd to me.
Back to purgatory, so then, does everyone go to Purgatory?Unless you know you are dying and go to confession right before, wouldn't everyone die with venial sins? And how often would that actually occur? What "window" in which would you have to confess? I know that I will likely fight all manner of sin up until the moment of death.
I understand that you have a belief in purgatory. That a person sort of "works off" (bad analogy, but I can't think of a better phrase) their sin so that they can go onto heaven.
I would have to look up the precise quote, but C. S. Lewis wrote of this somewhat and the idea of being greeted after death with something along the line of being told to come into Glory even though ones clothing is stained and worn and oneself is dirty and the idea of "Please, may I be washed." The "anteroom" of Heaven is not for paying for sins or to 'get around' things, but to be, as it were, cleaned up after a long trip.
The right view returns magnificently in Newman's DREAM. There, if I remember it rightly, the saved soul, at the very foot of the throne, begs to be taken away and cleansed. It cannot bear for a moment longer 'With its darkness to affront that light'. Religion has claimed Purgatory. Our souls demand Purgatory, don't they? Would it not break the heart if God said to us, 'It is true, my son, that your breath smells and your rags drip with mud and slime, but we are charitable here and no one will upbraid you with these things, nor draw away from you. Enter into the joy'? Should we not reply, 'With submission, sir, and if there is no objection, I'd rather be cleaned first.' 'It may hurt, you know' - 'Even so, sir.'
On the east2west website, Anthony Dragani has a pretty good description of Latin and Eastern Catholics views of purgatory, and how different they are.
My Catholic friend sees the concept of purgatory and confession as a way to sort of get around things here on earth. So you can look at porn, and it is just fine since you can confess it and since it isn't a mortal sin, it isn't going to do anything other than put you in purgatory.
What "window" in which would you have to confess?
On the east2west website, Anthony Dragani has a pretty good description of Latin and Eastern Catholics views of purgatory, and how different they are.-Peter.
I'm not certain what you are asking here.
Lets say a person belives themselves to be dying, so they set up a confession, either by going to confession or having their confessor come to them. But they don't die until a month later. It is a sudden death a month after their confession. Or shorten it to a week, to a day... Does that time inbetween to potentially sin make the confession useless to avoid purgatory?Or what about those that die suddenly in a car accident? Or some other trajedy?I understand the need for confession. But I don't understand how God would send 99.999% of people to purgatory because they haven't been very recently to confession.
And if you need to confess so often, then why don't all Catholics go to confession daily?
Confession doesn't remove the temporal punishment due to sin - it removes the eternal guilt associated with sin. A person could die one second after receiving absolution and still go to Purgatory. Why, because the absolution doesn't remove all the temporal punishment due to sin.
He refers to a "final theosis." Is this correct? I was under the impression that theosis never ends.
Whether we are forgiven or not we face the consequences here on earth. So I understand that not all the ramifications of sin are abolished thru confession and forgiveness. But why would we have to continue to pay them out after death?
Why wouldn't confession and forgiveness of sins be enough? Isn't the work of Christ on the cross enough? If we have to work it off by our own effort, doesn't that mean that Christ wasn't fully God?So you only confess a mortal sin, but any sins could make you go to purgatory? That doens't compute for me.Why would anyone want to go to purgatory? Why not live in the confession area? Is purgatory a more inviting place than I am imagining?
One thing you have to take into account is the RC mindset. RCs see purgatory as a display of God's mercy. Sending 99.999% of people to purgatory would not be seen as a negative to a RC. It means they have died, within the grace and favour of God, and in turn are heading to paradise, but require perfect purifiction first. If God did not show this mercy (purgatory to RCs), that 99.999% would go to Hell since their souls were not perfect. Purgatory is accepted as a natural step towards heaven for those blessed enough to be seen as worthy of eternal paradise.
So, to put it bluntly, God can't be bothered to forgive us completely?
So is that where mortification (i.e cropping yourself) comes into play when you confess?
I came from a very traditional RC background, but while I was studying for seminary, purgatory and temporal punishment were "there to satisfy the justice of God and be perfectly purified". CSPX 118Though, the penitent could satisfy this punishment on Earth as well, or in puragtory, when it was satisfied was/is a mystery.
Some of the first missionaries to the indians were Jesuits, and their practice of mortification was..well....mortifying to the indians.
Oh, I didn't say that. I am just mentioning what my forbearers experienced with Catholic missionaries. I don't have any ancestors that met any Orthodox missionaries.
That is an odd turn of phrase for an Orthodox Christian. We are completely forgiven but we are not perfectly holy when we walk out of the confessional. Don't you have any kind of penance when you confess?
Don't you have any kind of penance when you confess?
No. Everything I've learned from multiple priests indicate that a penance would only be given in order to assist in struggling against a particular sin one is having problems with, more along the lines of medicine than punishment.
