More details
The GC150 pump was a very common pump used in lots of UK made hot tubs, easily identifiable by its blue wet end. These pumps were mainly used in SpaForm hot tubs as a primary 2 speed circulation pump. As with all pumps over time the seals and motor often fail leading to leaking wet ends and burnt out motors. The GC150 was discontinued well over 10 years now and with that parts for the wet end are no longer available.
There is no direct replacement for this pump and you are likely to be recommended the Hydroair Magnaflow HA440NG or Waterway Spa-flo pump. These pumps are great replacements but you will always have to chop and change your plumbing as the GC pumps used a different thread pitch which only suits their unions. The good news is that the wet end (blue part) is usually fine and can be transplanted to another motor, making it easy to fit back into your hot tub.
GC150 Pump Refurbishment what we do....
We collect your GC150 pump and once its back here our engineer salvages the useable discontinued parts and fits them to a new E.M.G motor, impeller and shaft seals, port seals and wet end seals. We then test it to ensure there are no leaks on either speed and then send it back to you with a full 12 month guarantee**and report. All this for £389.99.
We always aim to get your pump back to you within 5 working days, but this will depend on the time of year and/or how busy we are.
GC150 Pump Refurbishment what we need you to do....
Once you have added the refurb to your basket and checked out in the usual way, we will make contact to arrange a collection time that works for you and gives you time to pack up the pump.
In order for us to collect your pump you will have to remove it from the spa, this is not difficult and is safe to do, we are always happy to help so just give us a call for further advise on removal - 01326 371488
Rather than you post us your pump which would cost upwards of £25.00. We collect your pump using our courier which helps to keep the cost down due to the volume of parcels we send. Also we can track the parcel which lessens the chance of your pump going missing.

If you tried to fit a new pump for example the HA440NG or any other make for that matter you would find that it would not connect to your existing screw on connections, (unions) fitted to your spas plumbing.
The GC150 used a different thread pitch on its ports and a smaller sized union; 1½" BSP thread and 1½" sockets.
New replacement pumps now nearly all use 2.00" pipe and a 2.00" buttress thread pitch to connect up the unions.
In order to fit a new pump like a HA440NG you would need to alter your existing pipe work. This would normally involve cutting off your existing unions and a few other parts to get back to "bare pipe" so new unions can be fitted. If you have a Spa Form hot tub this would also normally mean removing the gate/slice valves fitted just before the pump.
Every now and then we come across a pump that we cannot repair. If this is the case we will contact you to discuss options. If we can't carry out the refurb due to a failed part that we need to salvage, and you choose to fit a new current pump remember a plumbing change/alteration must be undertaken. We will be happy to assist and advise which pump to buy and how to go about altering your pipe work.
Please note the following will apply.
Any money amounting to more than the initial refurb cost of £389.99 in alternative pumps and parts will be added to the final bill.
We would always advise of the costs and time scales involved.
If the pump is un-repairable and you do not want to proceed you can choose to have the pump sent back to you or have us dispose of it.
Please note the following will apply.
1. We dispose; a £30.00 collection and collection fee is taken to cover costs.
2. Pump sent back; a £30.00 collection and collection fee is taken to cover costs, plus a £5.00 delivery fee.
Please remember that it is your responsibility to pack your pump with adequate protection. If your pump arrives to us here at Hydrospares damaged and the refurb cannot be carried out you will be charged for the collection and return of your pump (£35.00) the remaining will be refunded.
As pumps are heavy items, we recommend using a sturdy cardboard box with a good amount of shock absorbing material to cradle the pump securely.
Hydrospares bears no liability for pumps that are damaged in transit to us due to inadequate packing.
We include a 12 month warranty on the returned pump, however should your pump fail in this time due to a Wet-End fault we would be unable to repair it due to the discontinued parts. We would then offer a new different Wet-End to be fitted to your motor, this would then mean some pipe work alterations would need to be done. We will fit the new Wet-End to your motor at our expense and retest and deliver back, however we would not cover the expense of collection and the extra plumbing parts needed to make the alterations, we are of cause more than happy to assist in the process and advise on the parts needed and supply the parts. We only offer to fit a new Wet-End to your motor at our expense because when we undertake the initial exchange and examine the parts we only continue if we deem the parts to be in an expectable condition and offer continued service.
Should you have any questions or would like to discuss then please don't hesitate to contact us
Hi, I am trying to oget a refurbishment on a GC150 pump - do you still offer that service?

Today I bought a pack of string beans. They were fresh. They were trimmed. They were not organic. And they were wrapped in plastic. I was in the bodega buying a few last minute items for Blaise's sleepover party (Yes, there are 10 10 year olds not sleeping in my living room as I write this). The last minute items included snack foods . I bought Sun Chips and felt less guilty, although I'm not sure that's just not greenwashing. I also bought a big bag of pretzels and cheese puffs — I just gave into the impulse to indulge Blaise's for his Bday.
Those big bags of snack foods was as far as I would go. I resisted the urge to buy seltzer — finally remembering that I had pledged not to buy water bottles. I made home made lemonade instead. The kids drank it happily along with water. Ironically, when I unwrapped the string beans, I realized they were packed on a styrofoam tray whichI had pledged not to buy. (Does it count that I bought it without realizing?) It doesn't matter. I don't want to buy styrofoam. Styromfaom is made out of petrolium.
One of my things is that I don't understand money. I mean, I don't get money in the big sense of how much there seems to be now a days. In my own lifetime, I have seen the world and the people who inhabit it, earn, spend and in this case collect more money than it seems humanly possible to spend.
$270 Million dollars is one of those obseenely large numbers that mean nothing to me — like the trillions they talk about in the news when they talk debt. But it is an obscene amount. And According to this post on Care2.com, the Gulf Oil Spill: 10 Horrifying Facts You Never Wanted To Know by: Beth Buczynski the he owner of the Deepwater Horizon rig leased by BP is actually profiting from the biggest oil spill in US history .
"7. Transocean Ltd., the owner of the Deepwater Horizon rig leased by BP, has been flying under the radar in the mainstream blame game. Because of past experience with Gulf Oil spills, Transocean decided to insure the Deepwater Horizon rig for about twice what it was worth. In a conference call to analysts earlier this month, Transocean reported making a $270 million profit from insurance payouts after the disaster."
Ethics aside, how is that even legal? But the scariest thing, (and we're back to those big meaningless numbers here) according to a BP press release from yesterday, so far the cost of the spill to BP is aobut $930 million. This includes the cost of the spill response, containment, relief well drilling, grants to the Gulf states, claims paid. That's excluding consideration the other potential costs and liabilities to come associated with this travesty. It's too early to figure that cost out.
An old consultant friend of mine once told me, "money is just a score card." If that were true, than BP is definitley losing. But unfortunately so are the shrimp fisherman in Louisianna and everything that used to live in the sea and along the shores of the gulf.
What will it take to change how we define value with some other system beside money? There's got to be a better scorecard.
Meanwhile, we can sign petitions and fight legislation that protects the oil industry, but the biggest impact I think we can make is to vote with our dollars to not buy products or food that are a part of the petrolium oil chain.

Key Performace Metrics For Effective Management
A patient whose documentation supports 2 analysis factors, 4 information factors and high threat would qualify for stage 3 MDM. For instance a affected person whose documentation supports three diagnosis factors, 1 knowledge point and moderate threat would qualify for level 2 MDM. What are the RVU values for a degree 2 and stage three hospital admission? A degree 3 hospital H&P admission is valued 50% increased than a degree 2 hospital H&P admission based on complete RVU and practically 48% increased based on work RVU. The only documentation distinction between degree 2 and a level 3 hospital H&P admission is within the medical determination making component. Our medical supply retailer has a various choice of medical provides from prime manufacturers in every category. Other Medicare distribution data is out there at the CPT 99222 and CPT 99223 articles linked close to the top of this lecture. Medicare does present respectable steering on danger of complications and/or morbidity or mortality with their danger table (shown beneath).
This is the premise of the purpose system beneath the Marshfield Clinic Audit Tool that is utilized by most Medicare carriers. Our overarching objective is to attain significant reforms that will maintain what works in our well being care system and fix what is broken. I'll try my finest to tie all of it collectively and present you simply how related a level 2 and degree 3 admit are in their medical choice making elements. Remember, the two out three highest levels of documentation in analysis, knowledge and threat will decide the general stage of MDM. When mixed with history and examination documentation, the MDM makes up the final necessary component for determining the right CPT code. Remember, the historical past and examination documentation required for a degree 2 and level 3 hospital H&P admission are identical. For history, documentation must embody no less than 4 HPI parts or the standing of three related chronic medical conditions, 10 or extra evaluate of systems and a minimum of one ingredient each from previous historical past, family historical past and social history.
VA to place no less than one employee at each medical center whose sole job would surround overseeing development and leasing tasks in the world. High complexity medical choice making could be met primarily based on diagnoses and information components. Listed below are all eleven potential documentation permutations for medical determination making of a stage 2 hospital H&P admission. For instance, ordering a stress test to extend the complexity of medical choice making on a chief complaint of massive toe pain could elevate some crimson flags if the chart undergoes an audit. From the arguments within the preceding sections, one can recognize that the key to understanding medical professionalism is not to be found in a simple dictionary definition. This same train might be done to find out a degree 3 hospital H&P admission as effectively. Some coders could say high threat should be present to fulfill standards for a degree 3 admit. To qualify for a given kind of determination making, two of the three elements within the desk have to be either met or exceeded.
Nearly 25 years ago, the inspiration started as a tiny group of dedicated individuals assembly around a kitchen table in Raleigh, North Carolina. While this point system shouldn't be officially part of Medicare's E/M Services Guide, the risk desk is. Using Medicare's E/M Services Guide as a reference, I have integrated the Marshfield Clinic level system as a facet-by-facet reference beneath. I have provided a screenshot right here for quick reference. This level system is the idea for the bedside E/M reference card provided by The Happy Hospitalist pictured above and linked here once more for simple reference. Unless otherwise specified, the model described right here is 2003AB (July 2003). The UMLS data sources are up to date quarterly. Purchasing reasonably priced medical tools may be the very best provide for those who are simply beginning. MicroMeSH: a microcomputer system for looking and exploring the National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) vocabulary. Therefore this paper introduces the open-supply Python library MIScnn. These accompanying symptoms may be fever, chills, vomiting, nausea, an urgent need to urinate, urine that's dark or cloudy, feeling pain when you urinate, discovering blood within the urine, or finding small kidney stones in the urine. Funding from the VOCA grant program could also be used to assist quite a lot of companies and activities to help victims of crime.
Most E/M services are given a relative value unit (RVU) value by CMS. The Marshfield Clinic Audit Tool was developed because of the obscure language and problem in interpreting rules in Medicare's E/M Services Guide. Many examples of the Marshfield Clinic level system can be found on the internet. Page two of this Codeapedia reference provides an in depth description of the purpose system. Where CAN I GET A copy OF The point SYSTEM? If the producer of any enterprise does the work of distribution or selling of merchandise, the hurt these merchandise cause for the individuals or the property can be sued over. The preferred hospital disinfectant merchandise at present on the market and accessible to buy for domestic use on-line are Virkon disinfectant and PERAsafe sterilant. Most of the sellers provide warranty for the products they sell and this is the perfect option to opt for. Medical vacationers can request data on pricing, hospitals, docs and many others. and select the option that suits them the best.

Glancing through L.A. Opera's 2015 schedule, one encounters a host of familiar names, from Verdi to Mozart and Rossini. Sandwiched between them, however, is a most unusual engagement that starts Thursday night and runs through the weekend: "Hercules vs. Vampires," a new opera written by film composer Patrick Morganelli to accompany Mario Bava's 1961 cult film classic "Hercules in the Haunted World."
The premise might sound like the chintziest of gimmicks, but Morganelli has composed a serious piece, a complex 74-minute work performed live by a cast of nine singers and a 26-piece orchestra while the film silently plays behind them, singing from a libretto (also by Morganelli) that not only retains much of the film's dialogue, but also synchronizes with the actors' mouth movements.
"There's a whole art to that," Morganelli says. "Words have a shape and a rhythm to them that have a lot to do with the actual vocal line, and this had the additional burden of having to synchronize with the film. Plus, you have to give singers a vocal line that they can actually sing."
Ccommissioned by a Portland company in 2009, "Hercules vs. Vampires" was well received on its initial run, but Morganelli decided he'd spent too long on the piece (six months, despite his first assumption it would take him six weeks) to let it "sit on a shelf in my studio." After initial discussions with the American Cinematheque, he brought it to L.A. Opera.
"It's not that there was pushback, but it took a while to get their arms around what it was," he recalls. "But L.A. Opera, as an organization, is very adventurous and forward-looking, and even though they can do the standard repertoire with great success, they often seem to try to offer very different things to their audience."
For his first opera, Morganelli drew on a multitude of inspirations, ranging from Ravel and Debussy to Penderecki and Ligeti, while making sure to avoid sword-and-sandal cliches – "big drums, trumpet fanfares" – and to refrain from letting the film's camp appeal dictate the music.
"Obviously, this isn't 'The Bicycle Thief,' but Bava was really trying to tell a serious story here. So my general sense about it was to do the same thing," says the composer, who was a Bava fan going into the project. "Elmer Bernstein once said that sometimes you can achieve an amazing effect in a comedy if you score it very seriously. So I thought the unintentional humor in this film would be well-served by a score that takes it very seriously, and the net result would have its own wit or charm to it."

Buy Now Dearest Mine Women's Brass Plated "New York Nights" Petite Photo Locket Necklace 18 Inches
This peacock feather photo locket necklace captures a single moment, and inspires many more. It's meant to carry a story, start a conversation. An actual miniature photograph graces the front of this tiny treasure locket and is sealed with a glass-like coating for protection and shine. Locket is fashioned from high quality premium brass that has been professionally plated in an antique gold finish for a vintage-inspired style. Locket pendant measures 1 1/4 inches tall and comes with an 18 inch rolo chain. Inside has space for 2 photos. This treasure makes the perfect gift for yourself and others! everyone has a story…yours is waiting to be told! *Proudly made in the USA! Be sure to check out more of my locket collection in the "Handmade" Department on Amazon!
- A beautiful memento of our recent trip to NYC to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Just what I hoped it would be!
- I got this for my wife as one of her gifts for our one year wedding anniversary. She loved it and wears it all the time! I just love all the photos and lockets so much I wish I could get them all for her! It's such a pretty piece of jewelry, and there's something about a locket and putting a little photo of us as a couple inside to carry with her that makes it extra special! We've had this locket for almost 4 years now and the color on the front photo hasn't faded at all and still looks great! The actual locket gets a little tarnished if left in a really humid environment, but rubbing it with your fingers, or a very tiny spec of chrome cleaner from the auto shop makes it look as good as new. I wouldn't say the chain is "baby proof" but for a normal adult without a lot of yanking it's fairly strong and we haven't had a problem.
Overall this a great item!
- Received this beautiful photo locket less than 48 hours after ordering it! It was beautifully packaged in a velvet pouch. Be sure to check out all the options as there are more lockets in different designs than what you might initially see on your screen. These photo lockets will be a special gift unique to the person you're giving it or buy for yourself like I did! They are great conversation pieces too made one of a kind by the pictures you put inside.
- I am SO pleased with the quality of this locket!! The craftsmanship and attention to detail are clear! I even loved the way it was packaged. Overall, a wonderful experience! I would highly recommend these beautiful lockets!!
- I ordered as a gift for my daughter. It arrived promptly and was wrapped in beautiful paper. It is very pretty and I am impressed with the quality. Best of all, my daughter loves it. Great gift!
Sorry, comments are closed for this item.

Did This Canadian Designer Rip-Off Brutal Truth's Logo?
So there's this Canadian designer based in Belgium. His name is Devon Halfnight LeFlufy. (Believe it or not, that's his real name.) A quick Google search shows that he's kind of a big deal. And he made this crewneck, for which he is charging a mere $144 (down from its original price of $240). It should immediately look familiar to any extreme music fan:
In case you need a refresher, here's the logo for revered grind band Brutal Truth:
So, to Mr. LeFlufy's credit, he did make some changes to the original logo. Not to his credit, he still clearly stole the original logo. I mean, best case scenario, this is a case of cryptomnesia. And that's still not an awesome scenario.
What's amazing to me about this is that he thought no one notice. "Oh, they're just some metal band, who gives a shit?"
Well, we noticed, LeFlufy. We noticed!
Thanks: Mita

Attorney Leslie McAfee has been charged with stealing more than $300,000 in guns, jewelry and art from his friend's estate after he died of cancer in March 2010. He was arrested when a beneficiary named in the will contacted police after receiving nothing from the estate.
McAfee plead not guilty at his arraignment on a felony complaint with charges including; four counts of grand theft, 35 counts of grand theft of a firearm, six counts of perjury and one count of forgery. The perjury charge stems from McAfee allegedly claiming to be executor of the estate when McAfee re-registered several guns in his name. If convicted, McAfee faces a maximum of 37 years in prison.
If you, or someone you know has been charged with Grand Theft, Perjury, Forgery or any other type of Theft Crime or Weapons Crime, contact a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney, for a free consultation.

Inequality and Growth
|This book analyzes fiscal policy and its link with inequality. Fiscal policy is the government's most powerful tool for addressing inequality. It affects households 'consumption directly (through taxes and transfers) and indirectly (via incentives for work and production and the provision of public goods and individual services such as education and health). An important message of the book is that growth and equity are not necessarily at odds; with the appropriate mix of policy instruments and careful policy design, countries can in many cases achieve better distributional outcomes and improve economic efficiency. Country studies (on the Netherlands, China, India, Republic of Congo, and Brazil) demonstrate the diversity of challenges across countries and their differing capacity to use fiscal policy for redistribution. The analysis presented in the book builds on and extends work done at the IMF, and also includes contributions from leading academics.

|Five years after the onset of the global financial crisis, Europe's economy is still fragile. Notwithstanding recent positive signs amid calmer financial markets, medium-term growth is likely to remain frail owing to continuing weaknesses and vulnerabilities at the country level and in the fabric of European institutions and banks, especially in the euro area. In addition, unemployment in many countries has reached very high levels. The IMF research collected in this volume provides a number of guideposts that offer an opportunity for stronger and better-balanced growth and employment in Europe after what has been a long and dismal period of crisis.

|With an aging population and declining productivity growth, Europe faces serious challenges to raising its output growth. Adding to these challenges are the various gender gaps in the labor market. Despite significant progress in recent decades, there are still fewer women than men participating in Europe's labor market, and women are more likely to work part time. Furthermore, a smaller share of women reaches the top rungs of the corporate ladder. Could greater gender equality in the labor market help mitigate the slowdown in Europe's growth potential? Against this backdrop, this paper investigates the drivers of female labor force participation in Europe as well as what effects greater gender diversity in senior corporate positions might have for Europe's economic performance. Reexamining the factors driving women's labor force participation is particularly important because in many European countries the process of closing the gender gap has stalled despite greater gender equality in human capital investment, declining birth rates, changing social norms, and equal legal access to employment opportunities. Investigating whether firm performance could be improved if women held a greater share of senior positions is also essential given that the empirical evidence from past research into this question has been inconclusive.

Christmas is a week away, and I remember my stay in India. I arrived in New Delhi, and travelled to Rishikesh in order to do yoga and meditation for a month in May /June 2018.
There is yoga all over the place in Rishikesh. You have to either walk around or google to see what is offered where.
Walking around is like risking your life each time, Rishikesh does not have any sidewalks or crossovers, so you walk 30 cm from the cars, busses and trailers. You get used to it though, and eventually becomes comfortable with it.
For a month I stayed in Kriya Yoga Ashram. They had wonderful Hatha yoga, and the twice a day meditation was based on breathing in and out of the chakra´s and the Kosha´s. The first meditation started at 05.30 am and at night 06.30 pm. There was yoga 0800-0900 am and 0500-0600 pm. The Guru was there the last week. He spoke for about 15 minutes about the breath each time.
There were a few books you could buy, but compared to a bookshop down the street they overcharge at the Ashram.
There was silence in the Ashram, but you were allowed to leave during the day, and the gates clossed at 09.30 pm.
Personally I am not an Ashram kind of person, but it was a wonderful experience just for a month to see what it was like.

First feature by French documaker-anthropologist Eliane de Latour, "Bronx-Barbes" takes viewers into the heart of Africa's ghettos, where gangs rule by violence and the way out is often in a coffin. Helmer's intimate knowledge of contemporary West Africa is evi-dent in the colorful dialogue and convincing settings. Yet pic's thirst to recount every detail of slum life proves a double-edged sword, making it an ethnographic docu first and a product of the storyteller's art second, with a weak second half. Beyond fests, this well-made French-financed film, shot on the Ivory Coast, should pop up regularly in African programs.
Toussaint (Antony Koulehi Diate) and Nixon (Loss Sylla Ousseni) are teenage pals who can't find a job and have to steal to eat. When they acci-dentally murder a ganglord one night, they are inducted into the Bronx, a tough 'hood run by the elders and their sonnies.
Toussaint uses his wits to rise to the top; the more scatter-brained Nixon gets tossed in prison for burglary. At that point, Toussaint ups the stakes to raise money to get him out, turning in his switchblade for an automatic rifle.
Showing the ghetto as a rite of passage for poor young urban Africans – and therefore not all bad – De Latour doesn't shy away from involving the boys in some brutal scenes. A group rape of a young girl, Mariam (Edwige Dogo), shocks even Toussaint, who returns to court her as his girlfriend. In another shocker, homeowners beat a young thief to death.
When leads finally move on to the ghetto of Barbes, an even tougher life awaits them. However, story runs out of steam well before the end cred-its, swimming in a sea of local color – such as a stretched funeral sequence – that often has no direct bearing on the plot.
A point of interest is the dialogue, reworked by the local actors themselves and filled with amusing slang that comes across even in subtitles. Though modified to a certain extent to be comprehensible to French-speaking auds, the language (Nushi) is still sharp, witty, vulgar and convinc-ing. Also intriguing is extent to which the youths adopt famous Westerners' names for their monickers–Clinton, Nixon, Capone, Tyson, Chirac, Tu-Pac, etc.
Stephane Fontaine's widescreen lensing and frequent use of a handheld camera give film a very different look from most African pics – another indication of its mixed French-African roots.

The presidency of Donald Trump and the reshaping of US policies is creating many questions in Canada. Will Canada flourish or fare badly? How will our economy perform with major changes made by our biggest trade partner?
One economic solution is to target, grow, and amplify partnerships between indigenous corporations and corporate Canada to accelerate employment, business, and community investment within Canada.
The current situation for many of Canada's indigenous peoples is dismal. Canada's indigenous peoples struggle with bleak socio-economic conditions and face enduring poverty. Now more than ever, we need to work towards solutions to foster the entrepreneurial and innovative capacities of indigenous people, as well as focus on advancing indigenous workplace inclusion.
To this end, Indigenous Works, a national social enterprise, works with the private sector to build partnership strategies to generate employment, business, and social investments for indigenous people. Our partners include leading inclusion employers such as Suncor, Goldcorp, GardaWorld, and Wilbros. Indigenous Works also reaches out to companies and sectors that are not yet involved. As president and CEO of Indigenous Works, I'd like to ask you three questions: Are indigenous people on your radar? Has your leadership put the opportunity for indigenous partnership on your agenda? Have you discovered the business case for indigenous engagement?
Indigenous Works will release a new research report in September 2017 entitled "Researching Indigenous Partnerships: An Assessment of Corporate-Indigenous Relations." Malatest Program Evaluation & Market Research surveyed over 500 firms and found the majority of large companies are disengaged, have no indigenous strategies, and the indigenous opportunity is simply not visible. On average, the partnership index score was 13 out of 100, and 85% of corporate Canada fell in the disengaged category. Only 28%, or approximately one in four, were aware of the Truth and Reconciliation Call to Actions to the business community.
Consider this: companies in the large-business segment employ 39%, or 6.9 million Canadians (adjusted from 2011 Statistics Canada data). If 39% of the indigenous labour force of 540,000 was employed by large companies, it would generate 210,402 indigenous careers.
Imagine gross domestic product growing by over $200-billion over the next decade1 – our collective resolve could make this happen.
What can large companies do toward rebuilding Canada's relationship with its indigenous peoples? Here are five steps for corporate Canada to play in its role in reconciliation. At Indigenous Works, we call it the five steps to partnership prosperity:
Have a conversation with your employees, management, and board of directors about this five-step plan.
Now is the time for corporate Canada, indigenous corporations, and government to create partnerships for prosperity. We need authentic partnerships to work cohesively across every economic sector, leading to a prosperous Canada for all. Let's make it work together.
Kelly J. Lendsay is president and CEO of Indigenous Works.
Kelly spoke about harnessing the power of partnerships during his keynote address, "Inclusion leadership – The power of partnerships, who is leading, and why." at CPABC's 2017 Fall Pacific Summit in Kelowna, BC.

P. S.-Should you be ordered to join me with your regiment these instructions will be turned over to your successor in command.
No. 208. Report of Colonel Thomas R. R. Cobb,
Georgia Legion, of operations June 26-July 10.
HEADQUARTERS GEORGIA LEGION, July 17, 1862.
CAPTAIN: In compliance with the order of General Stuart I have the honor to report the operations of the cavalry under my command from June 26 to July 10:
We left our camp on an hour's notice on the evening of June 25, joining General Stuart upon the Brooke turnpike and continuing the march until we met the army of General Jackson near Ashland that night.
Nothing special occurred with my command on 26th.
On the 27th, near the close of the battle at Cold Harbord, we were ordered forward into the field. The position in which we were halted exposed my entire line to the fire of one of the enemy's batteries, which lost no time in opening upon us. Finding my men immediately within the range and to shells striking under their horses and exploding over their heads, I promptly removed them under the cover of the hill; fortunately no casualty occurred.
On Saturday, 28th, one of my squadrons, under command of Major Delony, was in advance, with orders to proceed to Dispatch Station. Finding it defended by cavalry, they were promptly charged and put to flight. On pursuing them beyond the railroad another company of cavalry was found in line, who were as promptly charged and routed.
The only casualties to this quadroon was a flesh wound received in the arm by Lieutenant Early; a slight saber cut on the head by a private (Walters), and slight wounds to once or two horses.
Our success enabled us to cut the wires and break the communication between the enemy and his base. While separated from the main column on 28th my command captured three wagons and teams of the enemy had several prisoners that were sent to the rear.
On Sunday, 29th, I was detached and ordered to proceeded to Tunstall's Station to destroy the track, cars, &c., at that point, which was done. On that evening I rejoined the command at the White House.
On Monday, 30th, by order, I left one squadron at the White House to complete the work of destruction there, with orders to preserve certain property and send it to Richmond. This squadron did not rejoin me until after the 10th.
I continued with the column until Thursday, July 3, when I was ordered by General Stuart to take position near Shirley, on James River, in the rear of the enemy. This position I occupied until the 10th. I found the rear guard consisted of about 2,000 infantry, one battery of artillery, and about 500 cavalry. These protected a wagon train of 300 or 400 wagons. With the assistance of a few guns and two regiments of infantry I think I could have captured this train and its guard, and I applied accordingly both to General Lee and General Stuart. They were not furnished, doubtlessly for good reasons, until General A. P. Hill arrived on the 6th (I believe), at which time the entire train and guard had crossed the creek and joined the main army.

A serious side effect may include excessive bleeding caused by the use of an anticoagulant to reduce the clotting capacity of the blood. Such drugs are usually prescribed to avoid the risk of developing clots in the lower limbs.
A step further from side effects is an adverse reaction. An adverse reaction is an unusual and unexpected reaction and it can be minor, major or dangerous. A drug induced allergic reaction, for example, is one type of adverse reaction. An example of minor adverse reaction is hives caused by taking penicillin. This same drug can also lead to a life threatening shock reaction.
Some of the drugs and the side effects/adverse reactions attributed to them are:
Type of drug – Side/Adverse effects
- Analgesics, anti inflammatory – Heartburn, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, stomach or intestinal bleeding, constipation, diarrhea, headache, drowsiness, dizziness, skin rash, hives, itching
- Antibiotics
- Cephalosporins – Secondary infections, which may result in rectal and vaginal itching; diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, skin rash, itching, hives
- Erythromycins – Secondary infections, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and rarely, skin rash or irritation
- Tetracyclines – Secondary infections, skin rash, photosensitivity, appetite loss, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, sore tongue, mouth or throat, damage to teeth in infancy
- Anticonvulsants (epileptic seizures) – Staggering, confusion, slurred speech, vision changes, skin rash, swollen gums, nausea, vomiting, constipation, hepatitis
- Antidiabetics (Oral) – Skin rash, heartburn, jaundice, bone marrow depression; overdose may even result in abnormally low blood sugar
- Antihistamines – Drowsiness, fatigue, weakness, dry nose, mouth or throat, headache, nervous agitation, double vision, reduced appetite, nausea, vomiting, reduced tolerance for contact lenses
- Antihypertensives – Low blood pressure, impotence, fainting or lightheadedness in general. As there are a lot of different hypertensive drugs, their side effects are also varied
- Beta blockers (for high BP) – Fatigue, cold hands and feet, dizziness, skin rash, appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, vivid dreams, hallucinations, depression, wheezing, heart failure
- Diuretics (for increased urination) – Lightheadedness, dizziness, increased blood sugar and uric acid levels, muscle weakness and cramps, skin rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice and, rarely, bone marrow depression
- Anti Ulcer medications – Dizziness, headache, skin rash, diarrhea, muscle pain, tremors, irregular heartbeat, breast swelling and tenderness in men and rarely, lowered white blood cell count
- Thyroid hormones – Overdose may cause heat sensitivity, excessive sweating, skin rash, menstrual problems, tremors, irritability, insomnia, rapid and irregular heartbeat, chest pain, diarrhea, weight loss
- Tranquillizers – Drowsiness, lethargy, confusion, unsteadiness, fainting, skin rash, blurry vision, slurred speech, nausea, changes in libido
- Xanthine bronchodilators – nervousness, irritability, insomnia, headache, skin rash, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, rapid and irregular heartbeat, excitability, muscle spasms, convulsions
The reason for these side effects is that most of these drugs have chemicals that have certain toxic properties. These conventional drugs are made from one isolated or synthesized active ingredient so each one does only one job and this generally causes side effects. This is why there have been so many prescription drugs that got pulled from the market after enjoying several years of FDA approval.
The sad thing is that very few doctors nowadays bother to inform patients about possible side effects due to close and cozy relationships with the pharmaceutical industries.
Half of the truth is that pharmaceutical companies will only tell doctors as much as they want to and not reveal the complete picture. Therefore, the doctors are not completely to blame because they cannot warn patients against side effects of chemicals they are not aware of.
The trouble is that the business is so profitable is that these medicine manufacturers are more concerned with profits and FDA approval rather than the overall effect on the patients.
This is one reason why several doctors are now beginning to recommend complementary alternative treatments, like herbal therapies and medicines.
In fact, the number of herbal remedies available for different ailments equals (if not exceeds) the number of regular drug treatments provided by pharmaceutical companies. The point is that prevention always was and always will be better than any cure, mainstream or alternative.
The advantage of herbal remedies is that they move an individual towards a lifestyle more geared toward prevention and cure in the early stages of any affliction. Herbalists use the whole herb, because the dominant ingredient seems to work more effectively, without side-effects, and for the benefit of the whole body. This is known as synergy.
Pharmaceutical drugs work only after the problem has development, they do not try to prevent problems because then the manufacturing companies would go into a loss. This is where herbal remedies leave the mainstream drugs behind. This is also the reason why so many people are daily turning to herbal therapies.
Herbal remedies treat the cause of the disease and not the symptoms (like conventional drugs).
What is good to know about natural herbal remedies is that they are much more well-tolerated than clinical drugs, hence causing fewer side effects. If you are prone to experiencing side effects when you take conventional drugs, natural herbal remedies may just be the solution that you seek.
Natural herbal remedies also tend to be much cheaper than drug remedies as they are grown and not cultivated inside a laboratory.
Because of their balancing effect, herbs such as ginseng are adaptogenic (help the body cope with stress, mainly by supporting the adrenal glands). This term is also used to apply to herbs that have a normalizing effect. Hawthorn is an adaptogen for the heart and circulation as it can stimulate a weak heartbeat or slow a rapid one, depending on what is needed at the time.

Thanks for response. The problem I was trying to avoid was the V13 clicking the Share button & then clicking the Word link. With V12 I can have the Share ribbon open all the time & avoid the multiple clicks.
To add the Word icon to the menu, click on "More", then "Customize ribbon" then add the Word image from the Share heading.
So easy it is not worth taking a screen shot.

What Makes Heat Pumps Special?
You've wondered about replacing your old central HVAC system ever since you moved to Charleston, South Carolina, and if you've been searching for a new system, you've likely come across the heat pump. But what is a heat pump? What makes it different from your standard central air conditioner? A heat pump offers both the cooling comfort of AC and the cozy heating of a furnace in one unit, as well as other benefits. Here's how.
What Makes Heat Pumps Different?
Your central AC unit circulates refrigerant through a closed-loop system in order to cool your air. Your system pumps that refrigerant through a compressor unit that places heat and pressure on the refrigerant, which allows the compressor coil to transfer the heat from the refrigerant to the outside air. The refrigerant then travels back into evaporator coils in your indoor air handler, pulling heat from your air and consequently cooling it. Fans blow that cooled air through your home. Heat pumps are best used in moderate climates, as their heating efficiency drops if temperatures are sustained below freezing for long periods of time.
While your air conditioning unit does its job well, it's basically a one-trick pony. It can cool your air, but if you want heat in the winter, you also need a furnace that uses combustion to heat your air. A heat pump, on the other hand, can both heat and cool your home with one unit. Heat pumps also used a closed-loop system, but the system on a heat pump can blow hot air into the home as well as release it outside.
What Are the Benefits of Heat Pumps?
As a two-in-one system, heat pumps offer a variety of benefits. Not only does this system take up less space in your home, but it will also take up less of your budget by cutting utility costs thanks to higher energy efficiency.
Heat pumps offer the comfort benefits of both an air conditioner and a furnace while also providing higher energy efficiency. To have a heat pump installed in your home, call M&B Heating and Air at 843-628-1775.

Elementary schools starting 20 minutes earlier while middle and high schools begin later
By KEVIN BRADY
That's how my son, Patrick, and likely thousands of other local teens, view new schedules that will see high schools begin at 8:30 a.m. starting next August, an hour later. Up until midnight watching The Late Show with Stephen Colbert or a blood-soaked zombie movie, all while dad sleeps. Sweet indeed.
Dream on Patrick.
And the Hillsborough County School Board, which voted unanimously last Tuesday, Oct. 17, to change bell schedules for all public schools, is hoping local students do just that; dream more.
"I think finally society is starting to wake up to how important sleep is to children," said Sally Harris, who represents the majority of South County on the school board including Riverview, Ruskin, Apollo Beach and Gibsonton.
"I've wanted this change since I was a PTA president at Coleman Middle School 20 years ago," said Harris, a foster mom to more than 40 children over the last four decades. "I think (school bell schedules) were created at a time when we needed teens to help in the fields, but we just never changed it with the way the world changed."
The 2018-19 school year will mean:
High schools and magnet middle schools will start at 8:30 a.m. not 7:33 a.m. as they do today. Students will be released at 3:25 p.m., not 3 p.m.
Middle schools will start at 9:25 a.m., 25 minutes later than they do now. The final bell will come just 5 minutes later than it does today at 4:20 p.m.
Elementary students will start their day 20 minutes earlier at 7:40 a.m. with the final bell ringing at 1:55 p.m., not 2:15 as will this school year. Already 48 elementary schools that start at 7:45 a.m.
Changing elementary school bell schedules has proven the most contentious of the changes. In an effort to mollify parents, schools will offer before- and after-school care at a low cost at all elementary and middle schools based on need.
"A 20-minute adjustment really isn't too drastic," said Carmine Alfano, principal of Summerfield Elementary in Riverview which serves 783 local students. "The only feedback I've received from my parents is concern about daycare, which is always an issue with elementary school students. It might mean we get more kids involved in our HOST program. Before and after school care is going to be the key." HOST is a before- and after-school program offered by many elementary and middle schools.
Starting school 20 minutes earlier will help elementary students who tend to get up early anyway, teachers have told Caren Katz, president of the Apollo Beach Elementary PTA. It's not a view shared by all parents. "Even though it's only 20 minutes earlier I guess that 20 minutes is valuable to the parents in the morning. You would be amazed, but I've been at school at 8 a.m. when our bell rings and there are many parents still bringing their kids to school."
While she makes sure her children arrive early, Katz is concerned more students will be tardy under the new schedule. "I don't want it to be disruptive to everyone else when those kids are rolling in late. Other parents are very in favor of the new schedule because it will help them get to work."
"We can look at all the research in the world … but somebody is going to be upset, said Harris. "We did not take this decision lightly."
More than 12,000 county students are late for school every day because their buses cannot complete routes between schools on time, according to adminstrators who proposed a new bell schedule as a way to resolve the problem. Staggering start times would allow bus drivers time to transport almost 90,000 students on time and save money, officials said.
In April, the idea was put to the seven-member school board who decided they needed input from students, faculty and especially parents before making a decision. Almost 57,000 students, parents and faculty filled out an online poll between August and October, 30 percent picking Option A, one of six on the survey. The next most popular option drew only 18 percent.
High school students and administors seem to be embracing the change most enthusiastically.
Taylor Land, a junior at Lennard High, is looking forward to the new schedule in her senior year.
"I think the new bell schedule will be good because it will give students more time to get ready (in the morning)," said the cheerleader who anticipates pratice ending a little later next year.
"(The new schedule)will give us time to sleep and actually be prepared for school and be ready to learn," said Olivia Speed, also a Lennard junior.
About 90 percent of high school students get insufficient sleep on school nights, eight to 10 hours, according to a University of Rochester report released Oct. 3. The same report said teens who start school before 8:30 a.m. may be at high risk for mental health issues. Use of cell phones and tablets at night are most to blame, according to reseachers.
"I've heard nothing negative at all (about the new schedule)," said Denise Savino, principal of Lennard High. "The (school) district informed us every step of the way so the way it rolled out no one was surprised."
Diane Shotwell, principal of Riverview High, said there will always be pros and cons with any schedule. "Whatever the schedule is we will make it work."
"I heard mixed response from parents," said Stephen Szwerluga, president of the Rivervierw High PTA who has three children at the school, all seniors. "Some parents are happy because some of the students have a hard time waking up in the morning. On the negative side, it seems like it will be a longer day for some students because they work after school so they will have to hurry up and get ready for work."
Riverview students, who have followed the issue closely Szwerluga said, feel it's a "pretty good exchange. They get to go to school an hour later and only have to stay 25 minutes later."
"We have had a handful of calls this week since the bell schedule was approved by the school board," said Tanya Arja, a district spokesperson who reported calls in support and against the new plan.

Brown 8, Cornell 1
Saturday, Bruno posted an early lead over the Big Red (10-8, 1-3) in the conference opener. First baseman Marc Sredojevic '17 led the Bears with three RBIs and two runs, while outfielder Sam Grigo '18 also notched a pair of hits and two RBIs. Starter Christian Taugner '17 delivered a strong performance, allowing just one run and three hits in seven innings for his third victory of the season.
After Brown scored twice in the first, second baseman Brian Ginsberg '18 added a solo home run to left field in the top of the second to widen the lead. Pierre Le Dorze answered in the bottom of the inning with an RBI single, but Bruno secured the victory with a five-run fourth inning.
In the top of the fourth, shortstop Rich Ciufo '20 and third baseman Willy Homza '19 scored off a single from Grigo, before catcher Josh Huntley '17 drove outfielder Rob Henry '17 home on a fielder's choice. Sredojevic hit a home run to right field, sending Huntley home to give the Bears their seven run lead.

Google helps SF homeless with free phone number and voicemail
Here's an example of how corporations can help renew society:
Google Expands Free Phone Number and Voicemail Project
San Francisco Chronicle
February 28, 2008 4:40 PM PST
Google is partnering with homeless shelters in San Francisco to distribute free phone numbers and voicemail accounts to those without homes, the company said Wednesday…
Since the acquisition of Grand Central last year, Google has been participating in periodic Project Homeless Connect events in which it has been providing the homeless with free phone numbers and voicemail accounts that they can access from any phone. More than 4,000 phone numbers and voicemail accounts have been distributed this way, Craig Walker, a senior product manager of voice products for Google, told the San Francisco Chronicle…
On Wednesday, Google announced that it would expand Grand Central's project and partner directly with homeless shelters that will now be able to give out phone numbers and voicemail accounts and help individuals set up their accounts anytime. The idea is to expand the service, and eventually offer it in other cities, a Google spokesman said…
For homeless individuals, a phone is a luxury, and yet, telephony communications is an essential tool in our society. Without a phone number you can't apply for a job or even get on a waiting list for low-income housing.
Said Google's spokesman, "Being able to give a phone number to people and access voicemail can be a very powerful thing in sustaining quality of life…."

The girl broke the cardinal sin this morning, the holy of holy.
She woke me up before my alarm clock. Worse still, ten minutes before the alarm clock was due to blast my fragile consciousness from its slumber.
The only word that can possibly pull me from my sleep and winch my eyelids open began the break through my dreams, in which I was being allowed to sleep a little longer.
'Mummy' the voice danced along the edges of the fog that passes for brain activity and I slowly started to connect the dots and realise this was my daughter trying to gain my attention. Slowly my eyes began to crack open like a roller shutter on an off licence the day after the local thug has been sent to prison. Words are not a really possibility in those first moments of wakefulness, only the prehistoric grunts of our ancestors 'Urghhh?' I questioned, the girl knows all too well exactly what information that grunt contained, the burry shape I was starting to see as my eyes protested the business of focusing for another day, took a step back and it was at that point that I knew with the automatic sense you develop quickly as a parent that this was no emergency. Nothing was hanging off, there was no blood and nobody was in peril (apart from as a consequence of the pre alarm awakening).
My eyes had now resigned themselves to their role in life and I could see the face of a girl arranging herself to attempt to appear to be suffering greatly 'Mummy, I have a sore throat.' she stated somewhat clearly for someone afflicted with a sore throat. I could only croak the response 'And?' given that my sense of compassion wasn't yet on the clock.
I was now sadly more in the land of the awake then the asleep and deliberate movement was now much more of an achievable possibility, I sat up a little and raised an eyebrow still waiting for the reason I had been deprived of the pleasure of hitting snooze on the alarm clock. I set my morning alarm ten minutes before the time I really do have to let go of my dreams of dreams just to allow myself the giddy pleasure of hitting snooze… on a school day.
The girl was going to have to come up with a very good reason why she felt it so urgent that I knew she had a sore throat 20 minutes earlier than her first opportunity in the normal order of the day. 'My nose is runny as well' she stated not helping her case one little bit.
She was unable to give any kind of answer to the question of what she expected me to do about it let alone a satisfactory one and she was also unable to justify why she had felt it prudent to wake me up to give me this information. I sent her back to bed but for me it was now awake and it seemed, also suffering from a sore throat and blocked nose. So rather then get up and have a head start on the day I got up and got a head start on Facebook. The kick in the teeth came a quarter hour later when I called up that it was now time to get up. The boy appeared rubbing his eyes a few moments later but no sign of the girl. When I went to investigate I found her in bed, asleep.
I have naturally disinherited her. Not that there is really much of anything to inherit but it's the principle of the matter.

XVII Conferencia nacional: gestión de los problemas de drogas y alcohol en la atención primaria
11 de mayo de 2012 Cardiff, Gales
As the Olympic Games hit the UK, this well-established conference returns in 2012 with the theme, Going for Gold 2012: Right treatment, right time, right place, which will explore how we can strive with our patients to be winners in achieving the best possible health outcomes.
Building on the success of previous conferences, this long-running event will once again examine the critical role primary care plays in working with drug users, their families and carers.
The conference is the largest event in the UK for GPs, shared care workers, drug users, nurses and other primary care staff, specialists, commissioners and researchers interested in, and involved with the management of drug users in primary care. Delegates will benefit from:
- A high-quality programme put together by leading experts in the field.
- A diverse format of high-profile plenary sessions, smaller workshops and poster presentations, led by the some of the best speakers in the sector. Confirmed speakers so far include: RCGP Chair of Council, Dr Clare Gerada, Professor John Strang of the National Addiction Centre, Professor Jim Orford, a leading academic expert on addiction in the UK and Professor Steve Rollnick, Professor of Clinical Psychology of motivational interviewing fame.
- The chance to network with peers and experts and make useful contacts.
- The opportunity to contribute to and take part in the programme through short papers and poster sessions.
- RCGP accreditation for CPD.
With a change of organisers to the RCGP, we are trialling this year's conference as a packed one-day programme, providing delegates with the same high-quality content but offering excellent value-for-money and the convenience of just one day away from work at a time when diaries and budgets are being squeezed.
Social events
Join us for an informal drinks reception the night before the conference on 10 May, at Cardiff's lively bar & restaurant, Browns. Food will be available to order if you wish to dine, and the bar will be open all evening for ordering drinks. This is not only a good opportunity to network with your peers, but also a wonderful place to socialise due to its warm and enjoyable atmosphere. We will be meeting from 7pm onwards, so please do come along to enjoy a pre-conference informal gathering.
For information on the location and directions, please visit Browns website. Should you wish to join us, please tick the relevant box when registering online. If you have already registered but would like to attend, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com. We look forward to seeing you there!

I just went back to using Dr. Bronner's after a couple years of being without it, and I found that I really missed it's simplicity. I use it for a lot of things, and the fact it's nontoxic is a huge plus.
I won't get to into it here, but the other day I had a discussion with someone regarding the affordability of non-toxic, natural products available for purchase.
The belief that natural skin, body, and household products are more expensive than their more conventional products is not without merit; after all, many manufacturers of such products do sell them at a premium, putting them out of reach of many households. The media likes to exploit this information as "news", discouraging many people from even looking for the affordable non-toxic products on the market.
That being said, there are several products that are inexpensive, safe, non-toxic, and readily available at most stores. My favorite one to mention, especially to anyone thinking they need to buy 10 different bottles of products for all the different uses at home, is Dr. Bronner's castile soap. I bet you didn't know that those colorful bottles of soap, each covered with the ramblings of Dr. Bronner himself, are not only affordable but are also organic, cruelty-free, Fair Trade, biodegradable, and packaged in recycled plastic bottles.
The best part? You can buy a single non-toxic product and use it for all of the following:
I have been using Dr. Bronner's products for years now and have never been anything other than happy with whatever I purchased from them. I have gone through phases of using the soap for most of the uses above and also using it just as a soap and shampoo, which I am currently doing now.
For anyone who thinks that buying non-toxic, safe skin, body, and household products is too expensive, I say do yourself a favor and buy a single 32-ounce bottle of Dr. Bronner's soap for less than $15 (at Amazon, at least) and see how many uses it has and how long it lasts. Even better, buy it in a bigger bulk capacity at your local natural foods grocer.
There are affordable products out there to help you detox your life, but sometimes you need to know where to look for them.
I just went back to using Dr. Bronner's after a couple years of being without it, and I found that I really missed it's simplicity. I use it for a lot of things, and the fact it's nontoxic is a huge plus.
Love Dr. Bronner. Been using it for years, it's a great product.
The location where they make the soap is located not 5 minutes from where I work. It's great to see a locally owned, family company do very well. I've used their products for years.

Often simple things really matter. And the use of keywords in linking text is one of those simple things that turn out to be hugely important. Linking text, sometimes called anchor text, is the clickable text that takes people to another page or resource. You need to choose that text carefully.
If I was refer people to this article I could use the linking text, 'Latest article': the text is meaningful, clear and wouldn't need to change every time I published a new article. However, I'd be missing out on some important opportunities. Using the actual title of the article, 'Keyword phrases in linking text', is a much better option.
It's important to place keyword phrases into linking text for two reasons:
In highly competitive situations the extra 'points' that Google gives can mean the difference from appearing on the first page of results and appearing nowhere.
To embark on an effective link building campaign you must be aware of your important keyword phrases and incorporate them into your titles and linking text. You also need to influence the words external webmasters use to link to you.
Including keywords in title text is attractive to human visitors as well as being a fundamental search engine marketing tactic. Your title also has the opportunity to influence the words that an external webmaster may use when linking to your site. Title text is the tooltip that appears when you mouse over a link - try it with this example: Link.
If your title is meaningful and useful, another webmaster is likely copy it, or at least edit it rather than go to the trouble of creating their own linking text.
There are two types of linking text to consider - internal and external. As far as Google is concerned, internal and external linking text are both important.
The internal linking text that you use is completely within your control so you have opportunities to use keyword rich linking text. Yet many people overlook this and use lazy phrases such as 'home', 'click here' and 'read more'. Avoid these phrases and use keyword rich linking text instead.
Introducing variety into linking text is also a good tactic. Good writing in English uses a variety of different ways to say the same thing and keep the reader interested. Likewise in linking text, use variety. This keeps readers interested and also provides additional information for search engines.
This is the linking text that sits on external sites and links to your website. You may think that you're at the mercy of other webmasters in how they link to your site, but there are many situations where you cancontrol the external text that links to you:
After that you do depend on how individual webmasters decide to link to your site. The best way to influence this is to write good titles and linking text in the first place. Then all the webmaster has to do is to cut and paste.
Even if the webmaster decides to write his own text, what you have written will influence how he does that and at least some of your keyword phrases are likely to be included.
To help determine your most effective keyword phrases, you can use the excellent Wordtracker service. Initially, this may seem like a lot of work but the benefits can be tremendous. If you plan methodically and practice, using keyword phrases in your linking text will become second nature - and a highly effective way of engaging your website visitors and boosting your search engine results.
