As you check your cell phone statement each month to make sure it is correct, it's not always easy to understand what everything means. And if you don't know what all the charges mean, it can be difficult to know whether something is right or wrong.
Charges You Agreed To
First, check your statement to make sure you are being billed only for the services you requested. Some amounts are frequently called "recurring charges," because you pay the same cost each month. You may have to refer back to the contract or service agreement to know what services you signed up for. Many plans offer—at an additional cost—text messaging, three-way calling, extended hours, or additional minutes. You don't want to be charged for a service you didn't order.
Before you sign a wireless service contract, get a good explanation of the cost to you of each extra item. Ask for a sample statement that includes only the features you ordered, so you won't find any surprises when you get your first bill. Your first bill shouldn't be the first time you see all of the charges. After you have signed the contract, you typically will be locked into those fees for the rest of the contract. If you see a charge on your statement that isn't correct, contact your provider.
Charges That Add Up
Next, check your wireless statement to make sure you've selected the right service plan. Before you got your cell phone, you had to guess how much you would use it. After you have used your cell phone for a while, you have a better idea of how much time you need by studying your statements. You don't want to pay too much and have a plan with more minutes than you routinely use, but you also don't want to pay a lot extra each month if you go over your maximum minutes.
Cell phone costs are calculated differently than for regular land lines. You are probably accustomed to paying the flat monthly charge for unlimited local calls and per-minute charges for long-distance calls you make on your land line. Most wireless services charge by the minute for all calls that you make and for those you receive . Depending on your wireless service, you may also see "roaming" charges at a higher per-minute cost if you make calls outside the service's calling area.
Most cell phone companies offer a trial period; however, it is seldom long enough to let you review your first bill before hefty contract termination penalties kick in. Many cell companies allow you to move to a different plan with more—or fewer—minutes. Before you change plans, be sure you find out if you will be charged any new fees, or if you will have to extend the length of your contract.
Charges You Don't Understand
You expect to have to pay federal and local taxes. But your cell bill may have several other charges that sound like taxes or government fees. These go by a variety of names, such as "regulatory cost recovery," "Federal Universal Service," "E-9-1-1," or "number portability." The government does not require the companies to collect these fees. They are the business costs to comply with government regulations. If you see a fee you don't understand, ask your carrier to explain.
When You Have a Question or Complaint
First go to your service provider for answers or to resolve your issue. Try to negotiate with the company if you think you have been wrongly charged. You should file complaints with the Federal Communications Commision and with the Better Business Bureau.

DAYTONA BEACH -- People traveling into and out of the Volusia-Flagler area for Christmas are likely to be more affected by crowded planes, trains and highways than a storm that snarled traffic across the Great Plains this week.
Steve Cooke, director of business development for Daytona Beach International Airport, said Tuesday the storm hasn't affected local air travel so far.
Forecasts call for it to sweep into the Northeast by the weekend, so Cooke advised passengers traveling in that area to check the flight status with their airline before heading to the airport.
Amtrak has reported only minimal delays because of the storm, spokeswoman Christina Leeds said from Washington.
No matter what the weather, all modes of travel are expected to be packed between Friday and Jan. 2, according to estimates from AAA. The automobile club projects 91.9 million Americans will travel 50 or more miles from home during that period.
That's up 1.4 percent from last year and is the second largest holiday travel volume in the past decade, representing 30 percent of the total U.S. population.
Nine out of 10 holiday travelers plan highway trips this year, according to AAA. That's a 2.1 percent increase from 2010, while air travel is expected to decline by 9.7 percent.
Travelers using mass transit for their holiday trips should arrive early for check in, spokeswomen for AAA and Amtrak said.
And it's always good to be prepared for the unexpected, said AAA's Jessica Brady. That includes packing necessities like prescription medications in carry-on luggage so they're readily available if passengers are stranded in an airport.
Brady also advised travelers flying to destinations where it's likely to be cold to wear their heaviest jacket and boots during the flight rather than packing them in checked baggage. That will keep luggage lighter and could save an extra fee based on the weight of checked bags.

Flydubai has inaugurated its new service from Dubai to Tashkent becoming the first carrier based in the UAE to offer direct flights to Uzbekistan.
The inaugural flight departed on 11 March from Terminal 3, Dubai International (DXB) and was welcomed on arrival at Tashkent International Airport (TAS).
On board the inaugural flight was a senior delegation from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) led by Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Minister of Economy in the UAE. Trade delegation included the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, other business entities and members of the UAE media.
Al Mansoori, UAE Minister of Economy, emphasised on the importance of this step, further pointing out that the country maintains a leading position in the global air transport map and serves as an important centre for enhancing global connectivity through its sophisticated international airports and air carriers with world-class reputation and a wide network of destinations. He also stated that the civil aviation sector continues to serve as a major pillar in the vision adopted by the UAE, under the guidance of its leadership, to strengthen economic relations and establish partnerships with various developing countries. This sector is also seen as one of the main channels for increasing trade rates and investments and enhancing tourism and cultural exchange.
Ghaith Al Ghaith, chief executive officer of Flydubai, said: "Uzbekistan is an important trade partner for the UAE and the start of flights to Tashkent represents a significant milestone in helping to strengthen commercial ties between us. We are pleased to be the first UAE carrier to launch direct flights between Dubai and Tashkent, opening up another underserved market in Central Asia and supporting Dubai's vision of creating flows of travel and trade."

Every company tracks its revenues over recognizable periods of time (e.g. months or quarters) and will typically set targets and produce forecasts that they measure revenue delivery against. This blog looks at how to track a forecast using revenue delivery and pipeline usage.
The Typical Shape of Revenue Delivery
The way that revenue accumulates through a period is fairly predictable. It starts close to zero but frequently some revenue has been booked before the period even properly starts. So it may not be exactly zero on the first day. Revenue then increases through the period until it reaches a maximum.
The shape of revenue delivery through the period is generally recognizable and frequently looks like a "hockey stick," similar to the below image. Revenue accumulates slowly at the start of the period and then accelerates towards the end, resulting in the revenue accumulation curve climbing rapidly.
Typically, it looks like a hockey stick because the process is like this:
- At the start of the period there are opportunities that are a long way from closing.
- These opportunities progress over time and begin to close.
- Towards the end of the period the focus shifts to meeting targets, the focus is on opportunities that are most likely to close.
- The result is that by period end the pipeline has been drained of opportunities that are well advanced.
- A new period starts, the process repeats itself.
The shape of the revenue delivery curve is generally characteristic and will be repeated period after period. There may be some seasonal variation. There are some events that can affect the revenue flow, e.g. widely observed holidays. In addition, Q4 will often produce an outsized amount of revenue.
It should be noted that the exact amount of revenue in one period is not likely to be the same as in any other period. Businesses grow and decline over time. When we say that the revenue delivery curve is generally characteristic, we are thinking in terms of the percentage of final period revenue that has been delivered on any particular day. So, it starts around 0%, it ends up at 100% and the journey between 0% and 100% is characteristic.
Of course, the shape is not exactly identical across periods, but it is close. By looking at a range of prior periods we might see that on a particular day an average of 55% of the revenue has been closed, but in fact it varies between 50% and 60%. For every day of the period we can get the average and variation around that average.
The Typical Shape of Pipeline Usage
There is another characteristic curve that helps us understand a business–pipeline usage. To explain pipeline usage, let's start at the end of the period. Pipeline is defined as the total amount of opportunities that have close dates in the period of interest. As we get to the end of the period, every opportunity that is within this definition of pipeline must either have been won, or lost, or had a change in close date that pushes it out of the period. Therefore, at the end of the period, the pipeline must be zero. Of course we nearly always see a non-zero figure because the CRM has not been fully updated. But at some point, the number is zero.
At the start of the period, the pipeline is full of opportunities that we hope to close. In terms of the shape of the curve as it inevitably gets to zero, it may not simply decline. Sometimes it rises until it reaches a maximum, then starts its decline. Whether the pipeline starts the period at its maximum, or whether the maximum occurs sometime later depends on factors such as the sales cycle length compared to the length of the period.
The important thing is that once again, the shape is characteristic and tends to be repeated. You will recall that all revenue delivery shapes look the same by working in terms of percentage of revenue delivered and in the case of pipeline, we do the same. We divide the pipeline by the amount of revenue delivered in the period. Therefore, on the first day of the period we might say that we have 5x pipeline – 5 times as much pipeline as final revenue. Or put it another way, we expect to win 20% of the pipeline and turn it into revenue.
The first image shows revenue delivery, and the second shows pipeline usage.
Apart from the curves that show the characteristic shapes that we have discussed, you will see the "clouds" that surround those curves. These clouds show the typical variation that we see over a number of months. If you're interested in the calculation behind this, please ask.
So, Why Is This Useful and Important?
Let's look at the day that is current in the revenue delivery example. It is 14 days from the end of a month. The chart shows that on average we have delivered 43% of revenue but variation between 36% and 50% has been observed over time. This is nice to know, but how does that help in the current period? I know I am at day 14, but I clearly do not know what the total revenue for this period is going to be, because we haven't got to period end yet. All true, but we do have a forecast and the forecast is what we are suggesting we can deliver at period end.
Let's work with this example a little more. Say the forecast is $10m, and the revenue delivered by day 14 turns out to be $4.3m, i.e. 43% of the forecast. I can say with confidence that we remain on track to deliver the forecasted $10m.
But what if we had only delivered $3m, or 30% of the forecast? Well, our understanding of history tells us that we have always delivered significantly more revenue on day 14. The sales team might say "but this time is different, just look at how much pipeline we have." This may well be true, but closing opportunities takes time and that is why the revenue delivery curve has a characteristic shape.
An alternative example is, what if we had delivered 60% of the forecast? The question is now "why are we so far ahead?" If we normally hit 60% 8 days prior to period end, and pipeline is now at day 8 levels, then it looks like business is getting closed faster than usual. When we recalculate the characteristic curves, this will be taken into account. But if we have more normal levels of pipeline for day 14, then it looks like the forecast is going to be soundly beaten.
Use Historical Characteristics to Track Delivery of the Forecast
The purpose of using these characteristic curves is to understand whether we are on track to deliver a forecast, and this is right through the organization anywhere that a forecast has been made.
The first time we check these charts is when the forecast is submitted. Assuming that the period in question has already started, we can check whether the forecast is supported with history. It is possible that it isn't, and it is possible that there is a really good reason why "this time is different," but it leads to a discussion and helps assess the credibility of the forecast.
After a forecast has been agreed, the charts are continuously reviewed for any signs that the forecast is heading off track. If you don't do this, and you wait until late in the period to see how things are panning out, then it will be too late to do anything about it. If you get the earliest possible warning that there might be trouble ahead, then you have more time to do something about it. You might do something as simple as asking for a new forecast, but you might also start to look across the organization to see how the shortfall can be made up.
Take a look this this chart. Here is a forecast that looked great when it was made, but went off the rails. Wouldn't you want to know that as soon as possible?
Final Thoughts
In summary, revenue delivery and pipeline usage are generally consistent over time and this knowledge can be used to assess forecasts when they are made and make sure they remain on track through to period end. If there is trouble ahead, and this is discovered early, the more time there is to do something about it.

After all, 'I just don't have time' is an all-too common excuse we're all guilty of using. Most probably way too often, and more than likely to justify putting off something that we either don't want to do or don't have the motivation for (not to worry, we won't name-shame).

I LOVE the idea of a RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS and I do them often. I have never been on the receiving end of one. And to say I've been having a rough few weeks, is a total understatement! So this was perfect timing and I will continue to pay it forward!
Thank you 😊

Save the World
Last night was the season finale for Heroes. I'm not going to post any spoilers but wanted to say that while not 'OMG AWESOME', the season finale was very good and left me wanting more. They actually did wrap up several dangling story threads while leaving enough for next season.
For a comic book geek like myself this show combines some of the greatest parts of comics into a great night time drama. I usually hate dramas but by adding in the comic book element, I'm a fan. Call me a hypocrite, I don't mind.
NBC has all the full episodes of Heroes available on their site.

Downton Abbey: Maggie Smith's best one-liners
Violet Crawley really has a way with words - here are some of our favourites from the Dowager Countess...
Quick tongued Violet Crawley – played by the Emmy award-winning Maggie Smith – has had us in stitches with her clever quips and put-downs since series one.
Here are a few of our favourite Maggie moments…
Remember back in series one when Violet met Cousin Isobel? They almost get on nowadays, but relations were a lot pricklier at first. When a friendly Isobel reaches out to the Dowager Countess, her response was rather cold…
ISOBEL CRAWLEY "What should we call each other?"
DOWAGER COUNTESS "Well we could always start with Mrs Crawley and Lady Grantham…"
The look on the Countess's face when she was first introduced the notion of "the weekend" was priceless. What it must be like to have such a charmed life that your Sundays run on into Mondays without a need for differentiation… If only!
EARL OF GRANTHAM "You do know I mean to involve you in the running of the estate?
MATTHEW "Oh don't worry. There are plenty of hours in the day and, of course, I'll have the weekend."
DOWAGER COUNTESS "Wha- what is a weekend?"
Remember when Lady Mary wasn't happily wed to Matthew? And what a scandal she caused by bedding exotic hot-blooded Turk Pamuk who then went and died on her?
Pre-marital sex and covering up a death all in one night? Oh Mary, it'd never have happened with a nice English boy…
DOWAGER COUNTESS "Oh my dears, is it really true? I can't believe it. Last night he looked so well. Of course, it would happen to a foreigner… It's typical!"
MARY "Don't be ridiculous."
DOWAGER COUNTESS "I'm not being ridiculous. No English man would dream of dying in someone else's house. Especially someone they didn't even know."
Ah, back in the day when Mary wasn't head over heels for handsome Matthew. As Violet was well aware getting hitched with a saucy secret like Pamuk to hide is a tricky matter – and you do always need a plan B…
DOWAGER COUNTESS "The question is, will she accept Matthew?"
CORA "I'm not sure."
DOWAGER COUNTESS "Well if she doesn't, we'll just have to take her abroad. In these moments you can normally find an Italian who isn't too picky…"
Remember Lavinia? A lot of people weren't best pleased when she showed up at the start of series two, seemingly scuppering any chance Mary and Matthew had of finally getting together. If only we'd known then how that would all turn out, maybe Violet wouldn't have been so scathing after meeting the poor lamb for the first time…
DOWAGER COUNTESS "So that's Mary's replacement? Well, I suppose looks aren't everything…"
CORA "I think she seems rather sweet. I'm afraid meeting us all together must be very intimidating."
DOWAGER COUNTESS "I do hope so."
Violet Crawley has never had much time for whingers, Edith. You should know that by now…
EDITH "Am I just to be the maiden aunt? Isn't this what they do, arrange presents for their prettier relations?"
DOWAGER COUNTESS "Don't be defeatist dear, it's very middle class."
Violet never did much like newspaper mogul Richard – and she wasn't the only one pleased to see the back of him! We don't know about you, but it pretty much made our Christmas…
DOWAGER COUNTESS "Well, what on earth's the matter?"
RICHARD "I'm leaving in the morning Lady Grantham. I doubt we'll meet again."
DOWAGER COUNTESS "Do you promise?"
And here we are at the start of series three. Violet has never been one to shy away from her dislike of Americans – and Cora's mother is no exception.
DOWAGER COUNTESS "I'm so looking forward to seeing your mother again. When I'm with her I'm reminded of the virtues of the English."
MATTHEW "But isn't she American?"
DOWAGER COUNTESS "Exactly."
A comedy gem from series three here. When, in a hilarious plot twist, ALL the Earl's formal shirts go missing from his room and, horror of horrors, he has to wear an inappropriately informal shirt under his dinner jacket, Martha Levinson says he looks as though he is "dressed for a BBQ", but Violet goes one better, 'mistaking' him for one of the staff…
DOWAGER COUNTESS "Oh do you think I might have a drink?"
[turns to Earl of Grantham] Oh I'm so sorry, I thought you were a waiter…"
There's only room at Downton for one quick-tongued matriarch and, although it was lovely to have Shirley MacLaine in the cast for a couple of weeks, we have to agree. Long may Violet Crawley look down on the inhabitants of Downton and pass her witty judgement on them all…
DOWAGER COUNTESS "Just how long is she here for?"
EARL OF GRANTHAM "Who knows…"
DOWAGER COUNTESS "No guest should be admitted without the date of their departure settled"

Katie gets to The Point - training in Medical Acupuncture
We are welcoming Katie Farrell who joins the clinic as a full time associate physiotherapist as of today. In March and April Katie completed further training in medical acupuncture.
In this blog, Katie gives us an overview of what she learnt and and how these skills will benefit her clients.
Over to Katie...
Over the past two months, I spent two full weekends completing the British Medical Acupuncture Society's Foundation Course here in Dublin. The course content was extremely useful and very interesting, and was taught by Dr Mike Cummings and Simon Coghlan, Practice Principal here at Mount Merrion Physiotherapy.
We discussed many topics around medical acupuncture, including safety, neurophysiological mechanisms, clinical aspects and how we can apply it into our own practice as healthcare professionals.
The course had both theoretical and practical elements, with lots of time for interactive discussions and questions throughout. There were 10 of us taking the course. This small number allowed for great learning opportunities, and time for one to one guidance and help when needed.
We got into the practical aspects almost straight away. There is brief initial pricking sensation as the needle breaks the skin, this sensation can be minimized depending on the speed of insertion. Then a comfortable dull, achy sensation can be felt when the needle is within muscle (what traditional practitioners would refer to as De Qi), or sometimes no sensation is felt.
Lots of practical time throughout the course meant we could really focus on practicing each point taught to us. I was able to get used to different handling techniques and palpation, and get individualized feedback from the tutors as they supervised. Over the two separate weekends, and having practiced in between, I really noticed my confidence increasing.
We learnt a lot about acupuncture mechanisms of action, and the effects the technique can have on the body.
Medical acupuncture can:
- Encourage healing within the tissues by increasing local blood flow
- Have a pain relieving effect within the body; this is referred to as the 'segmental effect' of acupuncture. It inhibits pain signals arising from specific areas of the body and stimulates the body's own pain suppressing mechanisms.
- Have a calming effect and improves well-being, by stimulating other parts of the brain, in particular the limbic system, which is the emotional center of the brain as well as the hypothalamus which modulates autonomic activity.
- Also be used to identify and effectively treat myofascial trigger points. Myofascial trigger points are tender 'knots' that develop within taut bands of muscle and can cause referred pain; they may also show a local 'twitch' on palpation. When the needling into a trigger point, it may reproduce a recognisable pain.
As health professionals, it is very important for us to understand and be aware of the different effects of acupuncture, as they can each be used for a different purpose. Having a complete understanding of this can help us individualise treatment, depending on our patient's diagnosis.
On the last weekend, we also learned about electro acupuncture, which uses electrical impulses to stimulate the inserted needles. It can enhance the pain relieving effects of acupuncture on the body. It can be particularly useful in cases of chronic pain, as it can produce long lasting relief.
How can medical acupuncture benefit you?
Medical acupuncture is most effective in musculoskeletal conditions, such as myofascial pain syndrome (associated mainly with trigger points), osteoarthritis, lower back pain, neck pain, tennis elbow and other conditions such as muscle strains. I found it very useful to learn about the effects of acupuncture in these diagnoses as clients with musculoskeletal injuries make up a large percentage of who I treat in the clinic.
Other painful conditions that can be helped buy acupuncture include, myofascial and tension headaches, and jaw pain. It has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of migraines.
We also touched on non-painful conditions where acupuncture can show good results, such as overactive bladder, irritable bowel syndrome and sinusitis. I found this very interesting, as I had previously been unaware of these uses for medical acupuncture.
I found the course highly beneficial and I am really looking forward to be being able to incorporate it into my clinical practice for the benefit of my clients.

Since Van Cleef & Arpels launched the Alhambra collection in 1968, the brand's most famous offering has been admired the world over. Inspired by the lucky four-leaf clover, the range of necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets and even watches has been growing ever since.
'Created by Van Cleef & Arpels in 1968, in keeping with its tradition of excellence and savoir-faire, the Alhambra long necklace captured the spirit of the age and introduced new ways of wearing jewels in everyday life,' says Nicolas Bos, the brand's president and CEO. 'Fifty years later, it stands as a reference that has profoundly influenced the history of jewellery.'
When the collection's first necklace launched in the brand's Paris boutique, it was an instant success, offering an accessible entry-level piece for a new type of Van Cleef customer and an alternative to the label's existing high jewellery offering. Instead of using an abundance of precious gemstones, the necklaces featured unusual, beautiful materials such as malachite, tiger's eye and lapis lazuli, teamed with yellow gold, all of which were adored by stylish Van Cleef customers in the 1970s.
It wasn't long until exceptional women from the worlds of fashion and film began to wear the collection. Figures such as the Princess of Monaco, actress Romy Schneider and French singer Françoise Hardy were early adopters of the pieces, bringing them further into the eye of the media. In more recent times, Hollywood stars such as Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz are regularly spotted wearing the designs.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the range, Van Cleef & Arpels has announced the arrival of nine new pieces, inspired by archival designs. Set in yellow, white and rose gold, the creations also feature mother-of-pearl, onyx, rock crystal and diamonds, alongside the classic lapis lazuli.
Both new and existing pieces from the collection are available to purchase from the brand's place Vendôme flagship and around the world. Here's to the next 50 years, and beyond.

Group will assist in program delivery study, develop facilities recommendations
An approximately 40-member Capital Project Community Advisory Committee, representing stakeholder groups across the district, will play a major role in shaping a districtwide facilities improvement project over the next two years. The committee members' names are listed below.
The members include parents of students at each academic level and from all schools, taxpayers without children in the schools, parents of Niskayuna graduates and preschool-age children, district grandparents, and staff members who reside in the district.
The committee will hold its first meeting on Tuesday, August 28, and will generally meet monthly.
Approximately 60 community members responded to the call for volunteers for the committee. Due to the need to limit the size of the committee and ensure a cross-section of the community, not all who volunteered could be selected.
The focus of the capital project will be to modernize learning facilities based on the strategic direction of academic programs and a projected increase in enrollment over the next decade. It is also expected to address a variety of issues identified in the district's 2016 Building Condition Survey to protect the investment taxpayers have made in Niskayuna schools over the years.
As part of this process, the district is working with a consultant to examine the potential for other PreK-12 program delivery options, including school configurations, given the vision of the district and anticipated enrollment increase. The committee will work closely with the consultant this year.
The committee will act in an advisory capacity to the Board of Education, with the Board determining the final scope of a capital project proposal. The current timeline calls for a capital project vote in the fall of 2020.
The district will report regularly on the committee's progress through the website and district newsletters.
"I welcome our committee members to this important work and thank them for dedicating their time and energy to it," said Superintendent Cosimo Tangorra, Jr. "Our goal is to maintain our facilities and ensure they are safe, efficient and suitable for modern programs that prepare students for future success. It's critical to have such widespread community involvement in this process."

- Moringa Oleifera (leaf)
The above ingredient might not be as effective as proven by clinical studies and scientific research, the potency should contain 100% pure leaf, fruit and bark extract. The serving size is not sufficient (500 mg twice daily) as 1200 mg a day is needed for effective results.
Other Ingredients:
Vegetable Capsule
Served in a Vegetable Capsule
It is recommended to take two capsules each morning with a meal.

Our Conclusive Review About Healthy Choice Naturals Maximum Moringa
We are very pleased to find that the manufacturer offers a very good guarantee and that the supplement is served in a vegetarian capsule. We are not so pleased with the fact that the serving size will not be effective as it is far too low. The manufacturer suggests that 500 mg be taken twice daily, the clinically proven serving size is 600 mg to be taken twice a day. It is fundamental that the correct combination of pure leaf, fruit and bark extract is used to provide optimum results.

It must have been aliens occupying the earth burning fossil fuels back then.
In my latest documentary, The Environment: A True Story, I set the record straight on "man made" climate change by showing what we know about the Earth's climate over the past 500 million years, not just cherry-picking from the most convenient recent years.
The truth is, there's been a lot of hype and bad science around this subject that has led to unjustified shouting by the alarmists.
If you're ready for some sound information and straight talk on "man-made climate change", please watch and share this video and consider making a donation to the Kickstarter campaign by visiting www.JohnRobson.ca to help get this important film made.

Let me warmly welcome you to discover the new issue of our Youngzine. As this release was being prepared under the isolation period caused by covid-19, we have to tell you that we really missed you so much!
Home education cannot guarantee appropriate preparation for school. But not all the parents want their child to go to an ordinary kindergarten. A worthy modern alternative to state kindergartens is private pre-school institutions, which can help those who cannot or do not want to raise a baby before school at home.
An international school is an organization that works in the field of education and implements its unique integrated educational programs approved by the Ministry of Education of a particular country.
Dear friends! We are pleased to invite you to online presentations with the Management teams of CIS International School!
We are glad to invite you to an online seminar which will be held on 28th April on the Zoom platform.
Dear friends! This week CIS held an online seminar "Safe Behavior in Social Networks" for students and parents of our campuses.
We want to help take care of our students. We are glad to invite you to an online seminar "Safe Behavior in Social Networks" for children and parents of CIS campuses, which will be held on the Zoom platform.
English is a real golden key to communication in the modern world. Today no one doubts the need to teach a child the language of international contacts. But is it better to learn English with a native speaker or a Russian-speaking teacher? Such a dilemma is inevitable for parents!
The Skolkovo campus is located in the western part of Moscow in the vicinity of the Skolkovo Innovation Centre, surrounded by a national park and numerous sports fields.

Silver Hen On Nest Boxed
The lovely large Hen on Nest is a much nicer way to store your eggs than in the carton. She is decorated in a hand sponged stylized feather pattern in black on cream on her upper body and subtle yellow sponging on the base. Softly depicted yellow chicks nestle within her feathers. Kept in a cool place, your eggs will cook better than having been stored in the fridge, as they are less likely to 'pop' in the boiling water.
This gorgeous ceramic hen is part of the Toast & Marmalade range by Emma Bridgewater. She will grace any kitchen counter, and also makes a lovely wedding present or housewarming gift, (your new nest)! Matthew Rice has designed a chicken coop shaped box for the hen to travel in, with a pitched roof and hand drawn and coloured wooden panels and tiles. The box is printed with amusing drawings, covering the care of hens and types of feather marking.
Toast and Marmalade Range
The Toast and Marmalade designs are a combination of the Black Toast and Marmalade ranges by Emma Bridgewater. Marmalade is a colourful design in vibrant yellow and orange on a cream background and looks wonderful when mixed with the austere cream and black typographical Black Toast pieces, also by Emma Bridgewater, in conjunction with her husband Matthew Rice, who designed the black lettering. In keeping with the Emma Bridgewater concept of mismatching patterns and colour to great effect, the Toast and Marmalade range combines the elegant black lettering of the Black Toast range with the zingy citrus imagery of the Marmalade range.
Box dimensions: Length: 24.5cm Width: 17cm Height: 21cm
Dishwasher & microwave safe, not oven safe.
Recommended lower temperature wash and liquid detergent preferred to maintain appearance.
Emma Bridgewater's English earthenware is made by hand in her factory in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire in England. The spongeware patterns are decorated entirely by hand.

Emma Bridgewater is a brand that captures the imagination. It features iconic designs based on simple, uncomplicated elegance that are fresh and original, yet true classics as the same time.
Established in Stoke over 25 years ago, Emma's thirst for creative design has led to an expansion from her range of pottery to a huge variety of different products, all of which are intended for everyday use.
The company was born in 1985 when Emma, seeking a simple cup and saucer, found the options lacking. The choice seemed to be either much-too-formal fine bone china, or clunky earthenware. It was the need for a middle ground that propelled Emma to create her own range: practical and reliable pottery but with a colourful and stylish design worthy of any kitchen.
Working together with her husband, Matthew Rice, Emma Bridgewater has created a multitude of recognisable designs, from the Black Toast range to the Polka Dot and Starry Skies ranges, all of them as collectable as each other. These fashionable creations have earned her many enthusiasts, and we're proud to say that TemptationGifts is one of them!

Manzi, T. 2007. Tackling social exclusion or ensuring gentrification? Social housing and the management of mixed income communities. CRESR Seminar Series. 12 Dec 2007 Sheffield Hallam University
|Tackling social exclusion or ensuring gentrification? Social housing and the management of mixed income communities
|Manzi, T.
|Conference paper
This paper examines the management of mixed-income communities; an issue which has become central to UK housing practice. Based on five case study neighbourhoods, in England and Scotland, the paper examines management initiatives designed to generate sustainable mixed-income communities. The paper pays particular attention to allocation policies, resident involvement, partnership and anti-social behaviour strategies within the context of neighbourhood management approaches. The first part of the paper considers the main justifications for the development of mixed-income communities, understood as tackling social exclusion through: limiting neighbourhood effects, developing social capital and engendering respect. The second section considers the practical application of these ideas, using the case study material. The main argument is that the central objective (that of tackling social exclusion) may be undermined by a policy of 'state-sponsored gentrification' evident in exclusionary and individualistic management strategies towards mixed-income communities.

Happy Valley LaunchBox Welcomes Six Innovative Startups to Program
State College, PA
When Eric Barron stepped into office as the Penn State president, he pledged to light a fire under a rapidly growing community of entrepreneurs at the university.
His $30 million investment launched Invent Penn State, an initiative that has helped fund, develop, and provide a helping a hand to entrepreneurs throughout the Commonwealth.
The most recent example comes in the form of Happy Valley LaunchBox, a program that will act as an incubator of sorts for student startups at 224 S. Allen St. in State College.
Happy Valley LaunchBox announced the first six so-called LaunchTeams on Jan. 15, paving the way for the startups to complete a business training program. Each team will also have access to legal and marketing consultants as well as the downtown co-working space, all at no cost thanks to university funding.
"We believed, based on research, that there was a need for LaunchBox -- a dynamic and collaborative university-community entrepreneurial environment," Penn State Vice President for Research Neil Sharkey said. "But we were pleasantly surprised by the high number of applications and the diverse mix of entrepreneurs and startups that applied for our first cohort. There are a lot of great ideas to be commercialized. We made tough choices."
Nearly 50 companies applied to be LaunchTeams, and the final six were selected from a pool of 11 finalists. There are some familiar names among the inaugural class of Happy Valley LaunchBox startups, like Project Vive -- a low-cost, hand-controlled device that will give the gift of speech to those without a voice. That startup, led by Penn State biomedical engineering student Mary Elizabeth McCulloch, was showcased as part of the Summer Founders Program's Demo Day in August, where student startups presented the work they accomplished with $10,000 grants over the 2015 summer.
ReDi Index is taking on sustainability with a new system to measure an organization's recycling efforts and the progress made toward zero waste.
Scenomics is creating a software-as-service product that healthcare organizations will use to "identify and quantify the value of their technology investments," a press release from Happy Valley LaunchBox said.
Somnus is tackling snoring -- well, actually sleep apnea -- a dangerous medical condition that affects people in their sleep. The product is a medical device that will be able to diagnose sleep apnea at home, a notable improvement from the current diagnosis process that includes a costly, time-consuming, and uncomfortable stay at a sleep clinic.
Squid Bioadhesives was inspired by the suction cups of squids. Yet another medical startup, this company is working on a protein-based bioadhesive that's "10 times stronger than other natural adhesives and is capable of bonding underwater, as well as self-repairing."
Last but not least is Lockeroom, "a platform for managing youth sports teams and leagues that automates and expedites registration, scheduling, and communication processes for team and league management."
Brook Hart, the co-founder of Lockeroom, was surprised to see just how vibrant of an entrepreneur community there is in State College and at Penn State.
"Something I don't think any of us realized growing up here, was how many talented and successful entrepreneurs there are in this community," Hart said. "We are looking forward to being able to learn from many of the talented people who have achieved the type of success that we are working toward."
Happy Valley LaunchBox will give these student startups an intensive 10-week training program, followed by nine months of additional support to help them develop their businesses. The initiative pledges to help connect these businesses with potential investors and gives them the tools and the physical workspace needed to grow.
Going forward, LaunchBox plans to expand by accepting 10 teams for each semester -- including summer -- for an ultimate capacity of 30 teams that it will support.

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

"When I first started to work with Wendi we had roughly 25 employees and now we are close to 80. Having Wendi as a resource through this growth period has been more valuable than words can describe. Wendi has the ability to easily comprehend a business strategy, create a work plan, flawlessly execute and present those results to the executive team. Without Wendi as a resource the past year would have been much more difficult to manage."

"When Darcey arrived our leave of absence program was a mess. She assessed the situation and helped us improve our compliance with FMLA, OFLA and ADA as well as our union contracts. She changed our processes so we administer leaves more efficiently and consistently. We couldn't have done it without her."
– Benefits Director of a large public entity
"We had been through a period of growth by acquisition and had 4 different employee handbooks covering employees in multiple states with many conflicting policies. Darcey worked effectively with HR leaders from across our organization to develop one handbook with a consistent tone and that reflected our new collective culture."
– EVP, CHRO of a Health Management corporation
"Wendi brought expertise and customized solutions to our HR needs. She has been extremely consistent and reliable with follow-up and follow-through on all our needs and issues. Wendi has worked hard to understand our business, identify our needs and get to know our people. We view Wendi as crucial to our success."

Do You Prefer a Window or an Aisle Seat?
I am writing you today as I just arrived in my destination country. As excited as I was, the plane ride was about 24 hours. Since this was my first trip on an airplane, I was unable to decide between the aisle or window seat. I made a list of the pros and cons of both, and at the end was unable to decide. That was a poor decision on my end as 24 hours on an airplane sure does give someone a lot of time to reflect – as I did as I traveled the whole way in the middle seat. With no options left, I wanted to spare you, Fellow Traveler, in hopes that this would not happen to an innocent passenger again. Below, I have pondered the pros and cons of the aisle and window to help you with this decision.
Aisle – Pros and Cons:
- Easily accessible to the bathroom should you need to move around the cabin
- Other passengers and food/beverage carts pass through the aisle frequently and can bump or hit you in the process
- Offers more leg room as you can somewhat sprawl into the aisle
- Little interference to get out, grab your bags, and exit quicker (especially important if you have a tight connection!)
- Can access your baggage from the overhead compartment during the flight
- Unfortunately with that access, you will also have to get up when others need to go to the bathroom or access the overhead compartment
- Limited window view
Window – Pros and Cons:
- You can look out the window and enjoy the view from liftoff to landing
- You have a place to rest your head as you doze away
- Accessibility to the restroom requires passengers to exit first
- Some people say it helps with claustrophobia
- Can be colder as it is usually up against the vents
- You do not have to worry about passengers who want to get in and out of their seats
- You also have main control over whether to open or close the window shades
I wish you the best in determining the best airline seat for you, as I myself was victim to indecision. The pros and cons of aisle versus window seat can be a hard decision! If you, fellow traveler, have experiences that you'd like to share, please let us know.

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to many things today, but when it comes to choosing another part of the family, some people prefer to go with their gut. Well, in any case, you should make sure that when you are choosing a dog, that you have a good vet in your pocket as well.
While going with your gut might work in some cases, the best thing to do is use logic. You need to pick the breed of dog that suits your lifestyle the best. Since dogs tend to be quite energetic, if you prefer to lead a rather lazy lifestyle, then you might want to get a cat instead.
Learn more about dog breeds before getting a random breed
Characteristics of the dog
The first thing you need to look into is the characteristics of your new family member, because while breed characters do vary a lot, since all dogs will have their own characters, some things will never change. For example, Chihuahuas will always stay angry at the world while Labrador's will never grow up; not in a literal sense.
The dog breed you select should be the one that fits you perfectly, and that means that the dog should fit your lifestyle. As it was said, they tend to be very energetic, but not all of them. There are a couple of breeds that prefer to chill as well, but all of them still enjoy casual walks.
A dog's purpose
Some people get a dog with a special purpose in mind. You have surely heard of therapy dogs or dogs for the blind, and if this is why you are getting a dog, you need to know which breed suits you the best. There are so many different dogs out there, but not all of them are meant for all tasks. In all cases, you should visit Gordon Vet Hospital at https://gordonvet.com.au for your pet.
Different Sizes
As we all know, dogs come in all shapes and sizes, and while that might sound funny, it is important to know how much you can handle. Keep in mind that just because a dog is small, does not mean that he does not require that much care. In addition, just because a dog is huge, does not mean he necessarily needs a lot more exercise than the rest of the bunch.
Your daily activities
If you are somebody who leads an active life, then you should get a dog that loves to live like that as well. This means that a dog who loves to go for walks, runs and play fetch, since that dog will keep you healthy as well. But if your lifestyle requires minimum movement, you might want to settle with a different pet altogether.
If you are a couch potato who loves to stay at home, you might want to consider getting a cat
Living arrangements
There are many people who live in an apartment and own a dog, and while dogs would be much happier with a yard, if you walk your dog on a daily basis, you can pull this off. According to vets at https://gordonvet.com.au/marsfield-vet/, you just need to give your dog the amount of exercise he needs, otherwise, you might end up with daily messes in the apartment.
Final word
There are so many dog breeds out there, that it might be difficult to choose just one. However, when you are picking your breed, you might think about the dog's instincts more than their looks only. Every breed has a different character/personality but their characterizes tend to be the same.
