Most people are very concerned with their appearance especially about their hair. A change of hairstyle can make a person more or less attractive, which indicates hair is vital in one's physical appearance. A person may lose hair for a variety of reasons. It can be a side effect of medications, hereditary, due to an unhealthy scalp, excessive salon treatments, abusive hair styling and because of using products not suitable for your hair type. For thinning hair, take care of your scalp. Massage your scalp everyday to increase blood flow with the use of scalp massager. You also have to choose milder shampoos and avoid using hair products that can be harsh to your hair and scalp. If you find that you have severe hair fall then consult a specialist.

Overall this kit is well made and easy to install.It really dresses up the interior and looks like factory. The only problem I had with this kit is part that goes over the shifter handle. It is too large and has to be cut down (both sides,top and bottom ).

Our success depends on our people performing at their best – and for this they need to feel motivated, connected and valued. By making sure our employees are engaged, we create a culture of personal responsibility, diversity and innovation.
We track engagement levels with our biannual survey. Since 2016 was a non-survey year, our focus was on addressing issues raised during the 2015 survey. These included: communication and the pace of change and the need to revitalise our process orientation. These were central themes in our Global Leadership Workshop.
Our process orientation and strong process-owner roles continues to be fundamental to the way we operate. We will reinforce process roles and knowledge throughout the organisation and we will place further emphasis on continuous improvement and performance impact on the customer experience.
We believe that a sense of team and common purpose needs shared values. In such a diverse business, it is more important than ever to create a common 'language'. Our values are: • Customer focus and long-term view • Quality and innovation • Freedom and responsibility • Partnership and fun
Recognising positive behaviours and performance is important to us and we acknowledge our colleagues in a number of ways. For example, any employee can nominate a colleague for an Excellence Award in four categories: customer, innovation, operation or leadership. We also recognise teamwork with our awards for market and factory of the year. Going forward, we will monitor progress against actions identified as we prepare for our 2017 employee engagement survey. As part of our continued commitment we will review our employee engagement strategy during 2017 and we will investigate and determine additional tools to be used to measure engagement, looking at the total employee experience throughout the employee life cycle, from attracting future talent, to the employees who leave the company.

Open season set for 3 civilian benefits programs
By Kathryn Iapichino, Air Force Personnel Center
/ Published November 09, 2012
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas --
Open season for three civilian benefits programs will be Nov. 12 through Dec. 10, Air Force Personnel Center officials announced. Those programs are
the Federal Employees Health Benefits Pro-gram, the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Pro-gram and the Federal Flexible Spending Account Program.
Federal Employees Health Benefits
In the FEHB program, premiums will increase an average of 3.4 percent above the 2012 premiums. There are several plans from which to choose for 2013, including high-deductible and consumer-driven health plans.
Employees should take advantage of this opportunity to review and update their health plans. Open season is the best time to review health care coverage, not only to make desired changes, but to ensure plans have not been altered or discontinued. Employees should also review plan premiums for 2013, since some may increase more than the 3.4 percent average.
For 2013 FEHB premium costs, open season comparison guides and individual plan brochures go to www.opm.gov/insure/openseason/index.asp.
Air Force-serviced civilian employees can make their FEHB open season enrollments or changes by one of two methods: Employee Benefits Information System or the Benefits and Entitlements Service Team phone system.
EBIS, a secure web application, is located behind the Air Force Portal and the AFPC secure web site. An advantage of making an election via EBIS is that employees can print a copy of Standard Form 2809, the Health Benefits Election Form, as soon as they complete the election.
Employees who want to use the BEST automated phone system can call 800-525-0102, press 2 for civilian employees, then 2 for BEST benefits and entitlements, and follow the prompts. Hearing impaired employees should call the telecommunications device for the deaf line at 800-382-0893, or the local San Antonio number: 210-565-2276. Benefits counselors are available 24 hours per day, seven days a week.
Federal Employee Dental and Vision Insurance Program
FEDVIP provides supplemental dental and vision insurance coverage. It is group coverage on an enrollee-pay-all basis. Seven plans offer dental benefits, and three plans offer vision benefits, including regional, national and international coverage. The three enrollment categories available are self only, self plus one, and self and family.
Coverage and benefits vary, but they generally include preventive-care services, oral and eye exams, orthodontia, and a variety of eye- and oral-care products and procedures.
FEDVIP and FEHB are entirely separate programs. Federal employees who are eligible to enroll in the FEHB program may enroll in FEDVIP, even if they do not enroll in FEHB. Eligibility is the key.
FEDVIP enrollment automatically continues from year-to-year, like FEHB enrollment. FEDVIP enrollment also continues when enrolled employees retire. There is no "five year rule" and employees cannot cancel FEDVIP coverage just because they retire. Cancellation must instead be based on a qualifying life event.
Federal employees who wish to enroll, change plans or cancel their enrollment in the FEDVIP program during this open season must do so by visiting the BENEFEDS Web site, www.benefeds.com, or by calling BENEFEDS toll-free at 877-888-3337 or the toll free teletype terminal number at 877-889-5680.
BENEFEDS will "turn off" open season enrollment functions at midnight Eastern time Dec. 10.
The enrollment process involves two parts. First, enrollees must create a BENEFEDS.com account by providing demographic and employment information. When this one-time step is complete, eligible employees can compare plans and enroll.
The effective date of FEDVIP coverage for the 2013 plan year is Jan. 1. Premium deductions will begin for Air Force-serviced employees with the pay period beginning Jan. 13, and will be reflected in their Leave and Earnings Statement for that pay period. Premiums will be deducted on a pre-tax (premium conversion) basis. Enrollees pay the full premium for dental and vision coverage, with no government contribution.
FEDVIP premium costs and individual plan brochures are available on the OPM Open Season web page.
Federal Flexible Spending Account
During this open season, eligible employees may enroll in the FSAFEDS program for calendar year 2013. The three types of FSA accounts are the Health Care FSA, the Limited Expense Health Care FSA, and the Dependent Care FSA. The FSAFEDS program allows federal employees to set aside pre-tax money for a wide range of medical and dependent care expenses should they incur eligible expenses and require reimbursement.
Employees who are eligible to enroll in the FEHB program may participate in the FSAFEDS program, even if they are not currently enrolled. Employees who enroll in one of the high deductible health plans and are eligible for a health savings account may not have a regular Health Care FSA account, but they may enroll in the LEX Health Care FSA. All employees with qualified dependents may enroll in a Dependent Care FSA, except temporary employees with no fixed work schedule whose tour of duty is six months or less.
In 2013, in accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the maximum amount an employee may defer on a pre-tax basis for a health care flexible spending account may not exceed $2,500 per plan year. This change, however, does not affect the maximum contributions for a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account which will remain $5,000 for benefit year 2013.
The FSAFEDS program also has a 2.5-month grace period. If the 2013 account is not exhausted by Dec. 31, 2013, eligible expenses incurred Jan. 1 through March 15, 2014, will be applied to the remaining 2013 balance.
Enrollments are made via the FSAFEDS Web site at https://www.fsafeds.com, or by calling toll-free 877-372-3337 or TTY 800-952-0450. Enrollment does not carry over automatically from year to year. Employees must submit a new enrollment for each year they wish to participate.
Detailed information on the FSA program is available on the FSAFEDS Web site, including an online calculator that will help estimate the FSA contribution and potential annual tax savings.
For more information on any of these programs or other civilian employee benefits and entitlements, visit the myPers website at https://mypers.af.mil, select the Civilian tab, and then select Benefits and Entitlements from the dropdown menu.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with a new blog on jrsbarbq.com. Here are some highlights:
– We had one of our best nights of TV production ever at NXT on Thursday while taping five, one hour broadcasts of NXT. The marathon took less than four hours which is a credit to all involved on the production and organizational side notwithstanding the talents themselves.
– @BigELangston had an impressive night and I look for 'E' to have a memorable 2013 in WWE. Hugely strong, highly intelligent, athletic with good feet, Big E simply needs experience to become what WWE needs from him and that is to be a break through star ala The Shield.
– Good work at the announce desk by Tony Dawson, Tom Phillips, William Regal and Brad Maddox. Maddox could evolve to be very good in the color commentator role as he has a natural gift of gab, good timing and is a bright kid. I always said that he reminded me of the late, Eddie Gilbert while watching Maddox in the ring down in talent development. @MichaelCole and I enjoy working with the young broadcasters who are getting plenty of reps in NXT.
– WWE has hired a new, strength and conditioning coach which is a brilliant move for the long term development of every talent in the system.
– HUGE RAW Monday in Philly headlined by both @TheRock and @JohnCena in the house live. The redemption vs. legacy tag lines are all well and good and while being accurate never discount the fact that both men are hugely competitive and accustomed to being 'the man.' They are Alpha Males of which is always interesting to observe. I've often wondered how Rock and Cena would have co-existed during parts of the Attitude Era especially when one throws in an element like @steveaustinBSR. It would have made for an interesting locker room. These two men travel in different circles and have never been in the WWE grind long enough together to build the unique and often times unspoken bond that many performers have. Call me naive if you choose but I see two, strong willed men who will try to show up the other on April 7 when finesse inside the ring ropes won't be acceptable to them or the fans.

Quote from: junebug72 on May 29, 2014, 06:14:45 AMIt's beyond stupid One. It's disgusting. The disregard for human life is catastrophically foolish. Arrogant SOB's. To be frank, human life, as a whole, is irrelevant when compared to other life forms, as a whole. Sure, we're the most intelligent species on Earth, as far as we know, but that doesn't mean we're worth more. According to a new estimate, there are 8.8 million species on Earth. Each is an essential part of the biosphere. They have predators, and they have prey. They make and/or consume oxygen. They filter the oceans. Humans (the species; not our accomplishments; we have done some pretty amazing things) are not essential to the biosphere. We have no predators. We don't even have prey, technically; we don't eat exclusively this or that. We consume oxygen, sure, but that's about it. We manipulate other species through selective breeding to suit our purposes, regardless of what it does to the species in question.To put the human species above all other species is to value humans 8.8 million times more than other species. I'll put that into numbers:1/8.8 million is: 1.13636364*10-7, or 0.0000000113636364%. That's how much of Earth's biosphere humans represent. To put this into more numbers, there are 100 trillion bacteria in each human body. Even if we only took the bacteria in one human, they outnumber humans as a whole approximately 14285.7:1.Which is not to say that human life is irrelevant. Just that when we do things like this, we need to think beyond ourselves. We need to realize that we're not the center of the Universe[1]. We're not even the center of the world. 1. Except when it comes to calculations.
Well I sure can't argue with that. Excellent post One. Very impressive number skills.
Quote from: junebug72 on May 29, 2014, 07:06:00 AMWell I sure can't argue with that. Excellent post One. Very impressive number skills. Thanks.I do want to stress, again, that I am not saying human life is irrelevant. Just that, when we take into account the other species as a whole, one species (that doesn't even contribute to the biosphere in any significant way, I might add), is irrelevant. That's why we've been able to exterminate viruses without any harm to the biosphere. They are not alive, technically, but even if they were, they don't really do anything other than kill other beings. They don't breathe. They don't eat, nor are they eaten. They don't reproduce (not really). They do nothing aside from causing death.

Actor and activist Ben Affleck has paid tribute to Rwandan politician Aloisea Inyumba after learning of her death on Thursday (06Dec12).
The Argo filmmaker and star had worked with Inyumba over the years in his efforts to raise awareness and aid for Rwanda's neighbor, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and he was upset to hear that the Minister of Gender and Family Promotion had died at the age of 48 after a long battle with cancer.
Taking to his Twitter.com blog to remember his pal, he writes, "Deep sadness to lose a friend & hero, the remarkable Aloisea Inymba (sic), Rwanda's Minister, Gender & Women in Development".
Affleck has made several trips to Central Africa in recent years and established his own charitable foundation, the Eastern Congo Initiative, in 2010 to help women and children affected by rape and sexual violence.

Museum's programs for kids explore science
BRIDGEPORT -- Learning should not be put on hold at the end of each school year.
That's the philosophy at the Discovery Museum and Planetarium, where week-long summer programs for those entering kindergarten through ninth grade can keep the wheels of learning turning, said Lynn Olins, the museum's education director.
"Our goal is to generate excitement about the sciences, to have fun ... and slip in a little learning," said Olins, laughing.
The five-day programs will begin again on Monday and run through Aug. 9, ranging in cost from about $185 to $310 per session. Discounts are available to museum members.
Olins said classes are grouped by ages: Braniacs, 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m, for children entering kindergarten or first grade; Adventurers, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for children entering grades two through four; Voyagers, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., for children entering grades four through eight; and Explorers, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., for students entering grades five though nine. Extended-day programs, which run until 5 p.m., are available for each group for an additional $60 fee per session.
Olins, a former teacher in the Fairfield public schools, said class themes change weekly so students may attend as many as they wish without repeating a program.
More InformationA lot to learn
Discovery Museum, 4450 Park Ave., Bridgeport. Weeklong interactive nature and science programs through Aug. 9. Registration required. 203-372-3521 extension 121. www. www.discoverymuseum.org
This week, for example, students in the Voyager program will be an "Ocean Explorer." Each "will build and test an underwater robot, climb into a real submarine ... and take part in an expedition to Long Island Sound."
During the following week, July 22-26, Voyagers will explore "Spa Science," in which the science behind common beauty products will be explored. Participants will create their own, taking home a basket of handmade products at week's end.
Sure to be a sell-out is "Discovery CSI," July 29 through Aug. 2, described as the "perfect program for those who like to solve puzzles and have an attention for detail." Students will take fingerprints, extract DNA and learn how forensic science solves mysteries -- while "solving a museum crime" on their own.
Among the other programs offered are those on bugs, space science, things that fly (bubbles, birds and airplanes), ancient cultures, dinosaurs, pirates and film animation techniques.
There's even a "Don't Try This At Home" session (Explorers, Aug. 5-9), Olins said. Although designed to attract "mad scientists and evil super geniuses," the program is safe and fun, she said.
In addition to field trips to Long Island Sound, some programs include visits to an area airport and to the Pez Visitor Center in Orange.
There are still openings in several programs, Olins said. Parents are required to register their children in advance. Some scholarships are available for those who need financial assistance; an application is available on the museum's website.
"We're working very hard to keep the wonder of science alive. It's so great to see that `ah-ha' moment that many of these children experience. For me, it's like being a grandparent: I love getting the students all fired up about science and then sending them home to their parents," Olins said, laughing.

And he's got a passion for books. When the Washington Post ran an article a few months ago about his life at home, it included this sentence: "Souter is a ferocious reader -- he has thousands of books piled up in the farmhouse -- and friends said he is eager, finally, to organize them into a library."
Organizing your books into a library may not be as easy at it sounds when you live in a colonial farmhouse, though. Justice Souter recently had to find a new house:
My opinion of Justice Souter only rises -- when your books threaten your house, side with the books!
Gilman said Souter told him one of the reasons he decided to move was because his Weare house wasn't structurally sound enough to hold the thousands of books that make up his library.
"He said there was just so much weight from the books, it would be too much for the house to support," Gilman said.

Milford high students build record-setting bridgeNANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
February 04. 2014 10:13PM
MILFORD — With some popsicle sticks and glue, three Milford High School students have constructed a record-setting bridge.
Max Ayotte, 16, Jackson Whitehouse, 17, and Tristan Kazo, 16, are the state winners of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation's "TRAC" competition. The Transportation and Civil Engineering program is intended to give kids a better understanding of what goes into planning and designing the roads, bridges and highways in the Granite State.
Ayotte, Whitehouse and Kazo became part of the competition through teacher Frank Xydias' engineering design class. Xydias created teams of three students each, and tasked the groups with designing and building the strongest bridge using the least amount of materials, while keeping within the parameters for length and height established by the DOT.
But before they started working, the class was visited by officials from the DOT who gave an in-depth presentation on the structure and design of bridges and the problems they encounter. Then it was time to build.
"We had an original plan, and we thought it would work," said Ayotte, "but then we had to scrap it and reuse the materials to make a better one."
"We overcomplicated it," said Jackson.
With Kazo taking the lead designing the bridge on engineering software called AutoCAD, the team went back to the basics — an arch made with laminated popsicle sticks that gave the structure a lot of strength, and trusses angled at varying degrees to provide stability.
"The planning was definitely the hardest part of the project," said Kazo.
"We took a typical bridge and added our own ideas to it," said Ayotte.
And though there were awards given out at the competition for the most original design and the most classic design, Xydias' team was going for strength.
"We wanted it to hold as much weight as it could," said Jackson. But to win the strength competition meant the team had to take into consideration the weight of the bridge as well. The result of those two measurements is a ratio of bridge weight to load strength, and that's where the team had the competition beat. The team's bridge weighed just 580 grams but held 258 pounds.
"Our ratio was a record-breaker in the state," said Jackson.
The team members said they may go back next year and try to break their own record, but they're really not interested in making bridges full time. Though the goal of TRAC is to encourage kids to consider careers in transportation and civil engineering, Ayotte and Kazo want to be mechanical engineers, and Jackson is hoping to join the Navy, fly planes and study aeronautic engineering.
"I want to design the planes I fly," he said.

On June 15, 2013, the JDRF Greater Bay Area Chapter held one entertaining Gala—an exclusive preview of Disney•Pixar's Monsters University, the highly anticipated prequel to Monsters, Inc. By all accounts, the Gala was a monstrous success, largely due to the evening's honorary chairs—longstanding JDRF supporters John and Nancy Lasseter.
The Lasseters became a part of the JDRF family after their son, Sam, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D) more than 10 years ago. As chief creative officer of Pixar Animation Studios, John dreamed up this very unique celebration—for the seventh time, he reserved the special honor of screening the newest Pixar movie for a JDRF benefit to raise funds for T1D research.
Back to school in June
The event took place on the Pixar Animation Studios campus in Emeryville, CA, which was transformed into Monsters University for the evening. Student clubs competed for new members with information booths and posted flyers. Guests enjoyed monster- and college-themed food, including mini pizza slices with mini microbrews, macaroni and fleas bites, and MU BLTs. "Students" were able to tour studio facilities in the Steve Jobs Building—which doubled as a misfit fraternity—and view the work that goes into the creation of an animated classic.
Though university-themed, the Gala welcomed students of all ages. Lisa Fischer-Colbrie, a Chapter volunteer whose husband Mark is a member of the JDRF International Board of Directors, said, "If there's a Pixar event, we're here. Our whole family is with us." This included daughter, Megan, and sons Matt and Tyler. Tyler, who has T1D, co-chairs the chapter's Young Leadership Committee.
No spoilers ahead
School spirit was drummed up by the University of California's renowned marching band and cheerleaders, who greeted guests as they arrived and escorted them to screenings of the film. Gala Chair Nancy Riley, whose 19-year-old son has T1D, drew a parallel between the movie's theme and the JDRF family's quest for a cure for T1D. "As Mike and Sulley discover in Monsters University, a challenging journey is always easier with friends."
In her welcoming remarks at dinner, Nancy Lasseter referred to guests as "JDRF alumni" and the event itself as a "homecoming." Her husband, John, observed that the 375-strong crowd had "the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the advancement of diabetes research." Both the silent and live auctions offered spectacular prizes through the generosity of sponsors, including Monsters University collectibles, distinctive trips, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. The energetic and engaging Olympian and cookbook author Brian Boitano acted as master of ceremonies.
College-bound athletes, Gala all-stars
Enthusiasm for the evening was high, and the Gala raised more than $1.65 million for T1D research. The Fund-A-Cure challenge alone raised $810,000 and featured the Peterson family of Los Gatos, CA. Twin 19-year-old brothers and baseball phenoms Eric and Kort Peterson both live with T1D. The family shared the moving story of Eric's diagnosis with T1D at age three, followed within a year by a diagnosis of leukemia. As his parents fought to manage Eric's T1D through chemotherapy, his mom, Karen Peterson, discovered she had a rare form of cancer. Karen lost her battle with cancer, but throughout her illness, her husband, Jeff, says, "She was more focused on Eric than herself, which was amazing."
At the age of 14, Kort was also diagnosed with T1D. Eric helped his twin learn to balance his T1D care with a demanding athletic schedule. Both boys continued to excel at baseball, as they had since they were toddlers. This fall, Eric will attend University of California, Berkeley, as a recruited walk-on to the baseball team, and Kort will enter University of California, Los Angeles, on a baseball scholarship. They will live apart for the first time, but will continue to support each other from a distance, as will their father Jeff, stepmother Julee, and sister Bryn. Of the separation, dad Jeff says, "The comfort for me is in knowing JDRF is continuing to look for the best—the best doctors, the best research." Julee adds, "We can just live life because JDRF is fighting the big fight."

Consumes large, set amount of optium & plasma per turn if activated. Should not prevent local sensor scans from superordinate imperators of the same house, as their warplanet & planets/systems with radar installations should be considered equipped with the decryption key for viewing through the cloak. Otherwise, if planet/system is cloaked, then it is considered "dark", unable to see or be seen. As it's use will automatically disable local radar, it will also disable participation in the House Intelligence System (see below). This should be an expensive upgrade. Prerequisite(s) - Radar, Research Center. Command/Intel Center (Home Planet Only): Ability to participate in House Intelligence System. Radar view (if so equipped, activated & not cloaked) of all planets/systems within the house can now be seen. Can be enabled/disabled. Consumes set amount of optium & plasma per turn if enabled. Superordinates may block subordinate's ability (if they also have built the Command/Intel Center) to view the superordinate's systems. Prerequisite(s): Radar, Research Center, Population over 500k. <Navigation> Display coordinates of planet/system selected. A line added to the object details on the navigation map stating the CP of the object. If hostile then potential only, actual if friendly. Ability to plot courses with multiple waypoints. Make each entry for attached ships (displayed at bottom of nav map) a link to the ship assignment page for that ship. As a bonus, add ability to select multiple ships for common mission assignment. Jump drive course plotting. *(see section below under Warplanet). <Warplanet> Display currently plotted course. Summary of ships in attached fleet with total CP. (i.e. 24 Interceptors, 14 Heavy Frigates, etc.,etc.) *Allow jump drive activation to be for a variable distance, depending on waypoint. (i.e. from 35 to 300LY). Make recharge time be in proportion to distance travelled. (ex., 35-100LY = 3 days, 101-200LY = 4 days, 201-300LY = 5 days...Maybe Short, Medium & Long jumps?). As a bonus, perhaps, make possible an option for an "Emergency Jump" when 300LY is just not enough. Give it a specific chance of malfunctioning if unsuccessful (say 35%) resulting in a random direction/distance jump; however, if successful, results in an increased jump in the desired direction of up to 50% farther.

Emergency Jump would still be subject to the same provisions and restrictions as a normal jump, which already gives an undeniable strategic maneuvering advantage versus an attack by an integrated imperator's warplanet. I might even further suggest that the commission of an Emergency Jump would leave the jump drive incapacitated for an additional 1-5 days afterward (regardless of success or failure), due to the huge strain on the engines.

Back to top LocutusGuest Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2005 17:36 Post subject: The only problem that I see would be that if a person bought a Intel center, and his sup disabled it after all that trouble. For a big player, it might not matter, but small players wouldn't like it. Back to top LordlingGuest Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2005 19:41 Post subject: You raise a valid point of concern, Locutus. Allow me to attempt redress: Technically, under normal circumstances, the super wouldn't be able to deactivate the sub's Command/Intel Center, only prevent him from utilising his (the super's) radar feeds. The sub would still be able to view radar intel from any imperator within the house that he is either superior or equal to in the hierarchy. Additionally, I would think that a super would probably only exercise this control under extreme circumstances, such as the adjustment period after a hostile integration. In this case, I would perhaps suggest that, since the newly integrated imperator's Command/Intel Center (if existant), would be tuned to another house's network, then it's status should be made Disabled, immediately after integration, with an option button given to send a request to the super to be brought into the network. This would prevent an imperator, integrated by hostile action, from being able to view all the systems of their "new" house, and relaying this information to other hostile forces. The house leader should have ultimate control of this feature, with the ability to deny or allow participation to anyone in the house. This was suggested primarily as a House upgrade, which would incidentally benefit all trusted imperators of the house. Further, if the imperator has a poor repoire with his house (and knows it), then it probably wouldn't make much sense to build it in the first place. Perhaps I see it this way because I belong to a house where mutual respect & cooperation are the norm. Only 2 types of imperator would build this upgrade: A team player, or a spy. Back to top LocutusGuest Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 16:17 Post subject: Ok, I think that your suggestions are very good.

[ie 2204 for a shields only levi, or 8 for many people's shield h1 etc] Multiple waypoints... yes, but not too many WARPLANET: plotted course... dont think it's necessary because of navigation screen summary, yes varying jump distances, FIRMLY NO from me as with emergency jumps - destabalizes the game, and gives MUCH too much of an advantage to jump drives, the idea of warfare with them is that you must be between 270 and 330LY to attack something with a jump, and that if you are 150LY away from a jumpdrive WP, you are safe this is a feature for me, definately not a bug if you want a little story behind my "logic" rather than just opinions: any less than 300 LY and the jump core has not fully warmed up before shutdown any more than 300 LY and the jump core will overheat one suggestion which i do think is interesting, would be to have an "error" factor in the jump of upto 10º? maybe the number would need adjusting for balancing and then a normal distribution shaped around that, so 67% of the jumps are within, say, 5º of the targeted course, 95% within 10º, 99% within 15º and 100% within 20º of the targeted course... either clockwise or anticlockwise and equally 67% within 5LY of 300LY, 95% within 10LY, 99% within 15LY and 100% within 20LY so in theory, if you aim due north for a jump, the chances are that you will be no more than 5LY away from the point 300LY north of you, however there's a chance that you are a short distance away, maybe 2 days correction flying if you went 280 or 320 LY +/- 20º of the target, but just 1/2500 chance of the being >15LY / >15º out just to add a slight error value, maybe only applicable when the target point for the jumpdrive is not in your own space, or a 50% reduction of error if it's within your own radar range... the possibilities are endless, however controllable or frequent, or changeable or emergency jumpdrives are not right for the game in my opinion_________________Major alphabravo in the house Thalgados-Sissyhood Back to top PaulAtreidesGuest Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2005 21:42 Post subject: alphabravo clearly put some time into thinking about these changes.

Good communication between patients with cancer, family caregivers, and the health care team helps improve patients' well-being and quality of life. Communicating about concerns and decision making is important during all phases of treatment and supportive care for cancer.
The goals of good communication in cancer care are to:
Patients, their families, and their health care team face many issues when cancer is diagnosed. Cancer is a life-threatening illness, even though advances in treatments have increased the chances of a cure or remission. A patient who is diagnosed with cancer may feel fear and anxiety about treatments that are often difficult, expensive, and complicated. Decisions about the patient's care can be very hard to make. Good communication can help patients, families, and doctors make these decisions together and improve the patient's well-being and quality of life.
Studies show that when patients and doctors communicate well during cancer care, there are many positive results. Patients are usually:
Patients and their families should let the health care team know how much information they want about the cancer and its treatment. Some patients and families want a lot of detailed information. Others want less detail. Also, the need for information may change as the patient moves through diagnosis and treatment. Some patients with advanced disease want less information about their condition.
There may be differences in how involved patients and families want to be in making decisions about cancer care. Some patients and families may want to be very involved and make their own decisions about cancer care. Others may want to leave decisions to the doctor.Communication is important at different points during cancer care.
Communication is important throughout cancer care, but especially when important decisions are to be made. These important decision times include:
Studies have shown that cancer patients who have end-of-life discussions with their doctors choose to have fewer procedures, such as resuscitation or the use of a ventilator. They are also less likely to be in intensive care, and the cost of their health care is lower during their final week of life. Reports from their caregivers show that these patients live as long as patients who choose to have more procedures and that they have a better quality of life in their last days.
This summary is about communication needs in adults and children with cancer. Section titles show when the information is about children.
Families can help patients make better decisions about their cancer care. Patients and their family members can join together as partners to communicate with the doctor and health care team. When possible, patients should decide how much help they want from family members when making decisions. Communication between family caregivers and the health care team should continue throughout cancer care. It should include information about the goals of treatment, plans for the patient's care, and what to expect over time.Communication with the doctor helps caregivers as well as patients.
Communication that includes the patient and family is called family-centered communication. Family-centered communication with the doctor helps the family understand its role in caregiving. Family caregivers who get specific and practical direction from the health care team are more confident about giving care. When caregivers receive this help, they can give the patient better care.Language and culture can affect communication.
Communication can be more difficult if the doctor does not speak the same language as the patient and family, or if there are cultural differences. Every patient with cancer has the right to get clear information about the diagnosis and treatment so he or she can take full part in making decisions. Most medical centers have trained interpreters or have other ways to help with language differences.
If cultural beliefs will affect decisions about treatment and care, the health care team should be told about these beliefs. For example, a common Western belief is that an informed patient should make the final decision about cancer care.There may be problems with communication.
There are many things that can block communication between the patient and doctor. This can happen if:
Family caregivers can sometimes help when communication problems come up.
For more information see the PDQ summary Family Caregivers in Cancer.
Studies show that children with cancer want to know about their illness and how it will be treated. The amount of information a child wants depends in part on his or her age. Most children worry about how their illness and treatment will affect their daily lives and the people around them. Studies also show that children have less doubt and fear when they are given information about their illness, even if it is bad news.There are many ways for parents to communicate with their child.
When a child is seriously ill, parents may find that communication is better when they:
See the PDQ summary on Pediatric Supportive Care for more information about helping children with cancer.
It is helpful for patients and caregivers to plan ahead for doctor visits. The following may help you get the most out of these visits:
Patients and family caregivers should talk before the appointment to help get ready for possible bad news or information that is different than expected.Patients and caregivers can make a checklist of specific questions about treatment.
When talking with the doctor, ask specific questions about any concerns you have. If an answer is not clear to you, ask the doctor to explain it in a way that you can understand. Include the following questions about the patient's treatment:
For more information from the National Cancer Institute about communication in cancer care, see the following:
Check NCI's list of cancer clinical trials for U.S. supportive and palliative care trials about communication intervention that are now accepting participants. The list of trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about communicating with the cancer patient and his or her family. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Supportive and Palliative Care Editorial Board.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's Web site. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).
