Types Of Cosmetic Store Insurance
To be safe, a cosmetic store should be covered by the following Kentucky cosmetic store insurance policies:
General Liability - You want more customers coming in and out of your stores and purchasing cosmetics; but, you don't want customers getting hurt when they step foot in your store. In the event of a slip and fall, injury by defects, or other problems in the store, you are liable as the shop owner to pay for medical bills and expenses; your general liability coverage will protect you from such out of pocket expenses. It would also shield you from paying repair costs to the customer's belongings (if they were damaged) while they were in your stores or on your property (such as a car getting damaged in the parking lot).
Your Kentucky cosmetic store insurance policy with general liability coverage will protect you from these very occurrences. Although they are rare, and might never happen in your store, you are better being prepared than having to deal with thousands (or even hundreds of thousands of dollars) of expenses, in the event one of these accidents did occur.
Business Personal Property - Cosmetics are pricey, and the appearance of your stores is important (as customers will make a first impression about your store/product before stepping foot inside). If weather damage (hail, sleet, snow) occurs, if fixtures are broken in your KY stores, or if a burglar breaks a window and steals supplies, this coverage option is going to protect your business from such costs you would otherwise be paying out of pocket to repair.
Without this Kentucky cosmetic store insurance coverage you might otherwise have to shut your doors for a period of time, in order to pay for high repair costs. Storm damage, flooding, stolen merchandise, or even issues with alarm and monitoring equipment are all protected under the business personal property coverage you purchase through your insurer.
Commercial Umbrella - This is also called excess liability coverage when added to your Kentucky cosmetic store insurance policy. This is for the shop owner who wants the highest level of protection possible, and truly wants to protect themselves from any and everything that can go wrong. If lawsuits take place, if you have to go to court, if there is major damage or injuries which occur in your shop, you will greatly benefit from this optional coverage for your cosmetic store. This basically will cover any costs which exceed the level of coverage you purchased with your liability protection through your insurance provider(s).
Workers Compensation - Workers comp is required in most states for any non-owner employees. Employees can get hurt on the job. If they do, KY workers comp will protect you, and pay for medical bills, lost wages, time off, and even pending lawsuits if a former employee (or disgruntled employee) tries to make false claims about an injury. This is extremely beneficial if an employee has to miss time off work due to an injury, as this optional coverage will pay their wages while they aren't able to work in the shop.
Cyber Liability - In today's online world, more and more shops are selling cosmetics online as well as in stores. With this Kentucky cosmetic store insurance policy optional coverage, you can protect yourself in the event of cyber crime, theft, breach, or if a hack occurs, and customer credit cards or accounts are hacked into. Your protection will shield you from personal liability, having to personally repay customers, or possible lawsuits in the event of a cyber crime or attack.
KY Cosmetic Store Insurance
As a cosmetic shop owner, you can't ever be too careful, this goes for your stores as well as online sites. For this reason, you need to consider all policy options when choosing an insurance provider for your Kentucky cosmetic store insurance policy. These are a few options to add to your premium, to ensure optimal coverage, and to ensure you are fully protected from any possible problems which may occur as a shop owner.

Defenders #7
- Story by
- Matt Fraction
- Art by
- Rachel Dodson and Terry Dodson
- Colors by
- Sonia Oback
- Letters by
- Clayton Cowles
- Cover by
- Rachel Dodson and Terry Dodson
- Publisher
- Marvel Comics
"Defenders" #7, although smack in the middle of a storyline, feels fresh and clean and more like a nod to old-school "Strange Tales" than a modern-day issue of "Defenders." That's due in large part to the issue opening with a lengthy Black Cat sequence that covers nearly one-third of the issue. Fraction produces a secret society interested in artifacts and has secured the talents of Black Cat to acquire them. It's a fun romp that gives Black Cat a chance to shine, but it doesn't do much to sell this book as "Defenders."
When the Defenders do finally appear, they're flying in a plane piloted by Silver Surfer (really) on their way to Wakanda. Naturally, that serves up an appearance by the Black Panthers: T'Challa and Shuri. Black Panther (T'Challa) appearing in this issue is a highlight and Marvel could certainly do worse than to bring the Dodsons back to work on him in the near future. The Dodsons' tightly polished artwork, punched up by Sonia Oback's colors, blend the Panthers nicely into this issue while helping to define Wakanda in a visually striking manner worthy of closer exploration.
Fraction writes a relaxed T'Challa, which is quite a contrast to some other writers' take on the one-time ruler. It's refreshing and sells Panther as a ready ally, not a sneaky acquaintance, and the character fits in nicely with Red She-Hulk, Silver Surfer, Dr. Strange and Iron Fist. In a nice bit of cross-marketing, Fraction seizes the opportunity of Panther's appearance in this issue to use his margin messages to promote the Essential Black Panther trade.
Naturally, as can only happen in comics, Panther's journey with the Defenders is set for a collision course with Black Cat. That impact will occur in the next issue as Jamie McKelvie replaces the Dodsons on art. For now, however, the Dodsons do a great job of making this one of the most enjoyable issues of the Defenders to date. This title opened with a visit to Wundagore and the inclusion of Black Cat, Black Panther and Wakanda simply solidifies the wide-ranging nature of this comic while giving those marginal characters and locations a chance to shine.
"Defenders" is a book that has vexed me more often than not lately, largely due to the extra dollar in the pricepoint. With this issue, Marvel tacks on a free digital code, which helps justify the four quarters a bit — and combined with the apparent direction of this title, this book has fresh legs.

My sister gave me her E2000. I run the setup program, my laptop sees the router and it shows a strong signal. When I try to connect with it, it won't connect.
You may be dealing with security...the wireless network should be using WPA2 security mode, and should have a passphrase to connect to it. If it doesn't, then you should add that. The way that I'd suggest dealing with this is to log into 192.168.1.1 with a computer connected with a cable to one of the router LAN ports. Then go to the wireless tab, and wireless security page under that. If WPA2/AES is already selected as the security mode, then make a note of the passphrase there. If it isn't, then switch to that security mode, and set your own passphrase. Then you should be able to connect to the wireless network using that passphrase on your client device.
If this isn't the problem, please describe in more detail what configuration you've already done. Again, you can look at the settings by logging into the web GUI admin screens on 192.168.1.1.
11-04-2011 08:12 AM - edited 11-04-2011 08:14 AM
This is exactly the answer and the solution I was looking for. I'll try to do that and am confident that if I'm successful, then that will solve the issue. My sister mentioned something about a password or code, but couldn't remember the details. Once she said that, I knew that I was in for some trouble.
I had "reset" the router by pressing the button in the back next to the power port. What does this reset button do. I guess it does not reset the security code.
If I have a problem following your instructions, I'll post questions.
I have no success getting to 192.168.1.1.
I simply connected the router, powered it up, reset it again, connected my desktop and cable modem to 2 ethernet ports. was able to surf the web, but no connect to the router IP address. Then switched the modem to the "internet" port and left the desktop on the ethernet port. This time no internet and no connection to the IP address.
What am I missing here?
11-04-2011 09:47 AM - edited 11-04-2011 09:48 AM
What is the IP address of the computer that is connected to the ethernet port of the router? Please check it by right clicking the Local Area Connection icon > select status > click on the support tab.
Cmd/ipconfig says that the IP address is: 220.127.116.11; default gateway is 126.96.36.199
This is your modem's IP address. Make sure the computer is connected to the router's LAN Port and the modem to the Internet port. You should have an IP address of 192.168.1.100 or something relevant.
Are you using DSL or Cable?
11-04-2011 03:20 PM - edited 11-04-2011 03:27 PM
I have a cable modem. No DSL, no FIOS.
Thanks for staying with me. Please understand that I have absolutely no common sense when it comes to networking, so if you could spell everything out simply and completely, then that would be helpful. Don't assume that I know anything about anything.
You asked me for the IP address of my desktop computer and when I gave it to you, now you say that that was the address of the modem. I'm confused. Do the modem and the computer both have different IP addresses? If so, then how do I know which is which?
First of all, if I connect my non wireless capable (NIC card ethernet only) desktop to any ethernet port on the router and connect the modem to any other ethernet port on the router, then I'm able to connect to the internet. After awhile, I lose connectivity and have to shut down the computer and the modem to reset things. I think it has something to do with dynamic IP assignment with the cable modem. Can I eliminate this and assign a static address to my desktop? I know how to do this with TCP/IP.
If I remove the modem from the ethernet port and connect it to the "internet" port, as it SHOULD BE, then I can't connect to the internet.
I assume that the router is functioning as a hub when both devices are connected to ethernet ports, although not sure why the computer loses its IP address after awhile.
Of course, I have not yet spoken about my wireless capable laptop......................the whole reason for this exercise..............
I'm gonna itemize your questions:
1. You asked me for the IP address of my desktop computer and when I gave it to you, now you say that that was the address of the modem. I'm confused. Do the modem and the computer both have different IP addresses? If so, then how do I know which is which?
Yes, the modem and the router have different IP addresses. The modem is the one giving the router the IP address of 24.x.x.x and that's a public or WAN address. You should be able to see it under the status page of your router if you are able to access the page. Now, in order for this router to work with all your computers on the network, it assigns LAN IP addresses to each of your computers. That's why on the hard wired computer (to the router) you should get a 192.168.1.1xx IP address. If you fail to do so, then maybe the router has a problem.
2. Can I eliminate this and assign a static address to my desktop?
No, you don't need to because the router is supposed to give a valid IP address to your computers.
Okay now, let's try to reset your router for 30 seconds while it is powered on. After 30 seconds, turn it off then back on again. Once the power light goes solid, your computer should have a valid IP address now. Make sure that your modem is still connected to the router's Internet port.
We'll get to your laptop later one we are succesful in configuring your router for the hardwired connection. I'll be waiting for your reply.
Unfortunately, once I do that, I'll lose connectivity and won't be able to communicate with you unless/until it's reconfigures properly and the password has been fixed.
Where are you located? I'm in USA, New Jersey. Talk on phone may not be economical, depending on your location.

ANP chief says he is unfazed by suicide bomb attack on himOctober 4th, 2008 - 1:36 pm ICT by ANI
Charsadda (NWFP), Oct.4 (ANI): Awami National Party chief Asfandyar Wali Khan has said that he is unfazed by the attempted suicide bomb attack on him at Walibagh on Thursday.
His comments came even as investigators claimed to have found important clues related to the suicide bombing in which five people were killed.
We have two leads and we are looking into both. It will take three to four days before we say anything with authority, Additional Inspector General (Investigation) Safwat Ghayyur told Dawn on Friday.
According to him, the suicide bomber, of medium height and in his late 20s, charged towards the ANP leader while he was exchanging Eid greetings with activists of his party in his ancestral Walibagh.
I was there in my hujra and receiving Eid greetings. I had seen off about thirty-five people, when I saw this bomber running towards me, Khan told reporters.
Policemen were firing at the bomber but there were only specks of dust. My bodyguard got hold of him and then there was a big explosion, he said, adding that bombings could not deter him or his party from pursuing the policy of working for peace in the region.
The bomber is said to have received eight shots but that didnt slow him down. He said it appeared that the man had been drugged and he did not feel any pain. At one stage, he fell, but got up again.
Khans bodyguard then shot at his forehead and as the bomber fell, he detonated the bomb.
The investigators said the bomber was only 14 feet away when he started running towards Khan but ANP activists sensed the danger and whisked him into the house.
The blast left five people dead, including the bodyguard, police constable Shabir Khan, ANPs Buner district deputy president Shamsuzzaman Khan and bank officer Fazal Ghani.
Khan and his family were flown to Islamabad immediately after the incident.
Body parts of the bomber have been sent to a lab for DNA test. (ANI)

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
You may be invited to some type of group activity this month, or you could be tapped to lead a group to which you currently belong. This can be a time of expanding friendships and you can even be asked to join some type of exclusive group.
There are two eclipses this month, a partial solar in Cancer and a total lunar in Aquarius, on the 13th and 27th respectively. The total eclipse is the more significant and it will fall in your solar chart house of bloody lucre...as in hard earned cash. Hopefully you have kept all your business receipts and such because eclipses tend to put the areas they touch into the spotlight and you as well if there is a problem. Double check your cash flow and address any discrepancies immediately.
Avoid any confrontations with males, especially around the time of the eclipses. Jupiter is energizing your Mars and this will give you great motivation and energy but don't be overly aggressive. Also don't back down if someone wants a piece of you. Well, unless they are bigger or have fangs or are a zombie.
If you like what is on this site, please give to a charity helping kids with cancer or one dedicated to eradicating cancer. Thank You.
2017 Yearly Horoscopes
You have a lot of opportunity to travel and perhaps attend seminars and even do some speaking engagements if you are in such a position to do so and make a bit of cash doing so, even better.
This also speaks to having a few mobility issues and perhaps even someone among you inventing some kind of home assistance device that can make you a lot of money and help a bunch of people stay in their homes (where they should be) all their lives.
Your immediate vicinity is full of confusion and in some cases it could be falling into disrepair, or perhaps you will return to a place you once knew and find it vastly changed.
Your home and family situation remain changeable or a bit unusual this year. You may move house unexpectedly, but if you must, it looks like you will have a chance to move somewhere calming or nurturing.
Your partner looks as if s/he could use a bit of that this year, some TLC and maybe some expert care, or at least a considerable amount more attention than they feel they have gotten from you recently.
If you meet someone this year on a inland body of water, like a river or stream, (not the ocean), this person may be a potential life mate for you. Especially if you happen to really butt heads with them upon your first few interactions. My guess is they will find you charmingly blunt. Or your opposite views are quite stimulating for one another and refreshingly astute. Believe me, these folks are hard to come by so you might want to consider keeping them around just so you don't get bored later in life when the "thrill" is gone, or perhaps merely subsided.
Some of you may have gotten an entry level position this year that made you quickly see that you aren't going to move up the company ladder without some additional training or an advanced degree. Or perhaps you are overqualified for your position and in that case understand that your "superiors" will be less than supportive because they know you can easily take their job.
In general your solar chart this year has changed little from last year, other than some of your auspices for partnerships.
If you buy a new car this year, you might look for a pre-owned one or maybe you will purchase your first real luxury vehicle or your first really nice apartment.
You will find joy this year in your past more than present and if you have a female relative, like a sibling, that you are rather estranged from, look to them to bring you some amount of relief or happiness, or "home" at a time when you may have need of it.
May your 2017 be your best year ever!
You are starting the year off on much better footing than you did last year Cappy. Your ruler, Saturn has come back to your sign and he will be able to assist you much more easily from here. You still will have a lot going on with your 2018 solar chart 1st house, as you have for a while with Pluto visiting your solar chart sun the past couple of years. He hasn't left yet, but you will have an easier time of it this year because of your ruler visiting as well as Venus, the planet of beauty, happiness and money.
If you are a performer of some kind, or make your living in any way based upon your art or a product you have invented you should have an excellent year indeed. You may even have a chance to expand your network of associations through travel and you can reach ever larger audiences if your product is as excellent as it appears.
If you are a man, you might travel to a different country and meet the woman who will become your second wife. You also may take a great trip with your college age kids or just take some classes that you will really enjoy,
Your friends will be very enthusiastic about something you are planning this year. Or maybe you will decide to pursue something you have dreamed about doing for most of your life. This will probably have to do with kind of a humanitarian effort and will require a great deal of effort. There is a lot of opportunity here, but it is unclear as to whether you have all that it would take to accompish your goal. You certainly have some excitment for your project though and you are likely to be able to make a great deal of money, at least that appears to be your goal.
You could make money on the sale of a home or need to move in order to obtain a better income. Hopeful this will come with some kind of transfer package. Perhaps you can take a roommate or neighbor with you to check out your new locale and make a nice weekend of it at the beach while you are there.
Your move might take you to a place quite different from your norm and it might make require a bit of an adjustment. In fact, you may not be very comfortable there at first but you should settle in after you start enjoying all the extra money you are making.
If your partner travels a lot for work you could decide to go along or maybe you have a friend that lives in another country and you'd like to go visit them. All of these would be good potentials.
I send you Godspeed for 2018.
2016 Horoscope
You have definitely got some focus this year, and it appears to be on your community, communication skills, network of people and the groups you belong to and friendships. If you arent a community organizer you really should be. This is a wonderful year for you to do something forth good of a lot of people. If you dont have that kind of power, or are younger, then look for some altruistic group and dive in and do the best you can.
You still have all the power you had last year Goats, with the sun and Pluto conjunct. And the responsibility. Of anyone in the zodiac you got this Goat. You are made sturdy so you can scale mountaintops. You have horns so you can butter the jerk out of the world. You are the sign of the executive. Dont waste this small gift.
I know a lot of younger people read me, mostly by accident because astrology seems kind of mystical and weird. Astrology takes about 50 lifetimes to even begin to study. And you really need a profession if you want to live well so this is at most a sideline hobby. At least if you are any good at it and do it in the spirit it was intended. As a general guideline, not the rulebook of life. Get your rules from a Higher Power.
I say this because it is imperative for me to elucidate the fact that astrologers DO NOT worship the stars. Those who do are stupid because after all, they are just rocks. Therefore, if this subject interests you, go to college. Go to trade school or culinary or art school. Astrology can be a lifetime hobby but I dont see it as a profession. Others do. To each his or her own.
You could experience some pretty intense moments in discussions with others in any group or gang in which you belong. In the case of the latter, and if you are dealing with lethal individuals as in the case of a real gang, try to keep a low profile. Do what you can to slowly slink your way out, even if there is someone still inside you love. Some people actually live in very dangerous environments every single day of their lives, which are usually short. If you are already enmeshed in the whole blood in, blood out thing, then do your best to be invisible and indispensable.
Financially you can earn a few extra bucks in a lot of different ways. Running errands for other people or doing some simple, albeit menial tasks for the elderly or otherwise incapacitated is likely a great idea for some extra spending money, and we certainly need people to assist others in this way, even though it seem so simple.
You can find a job with a very large conglomerate now, perhaps a hospital system or other place with a large campus type atmosphere.
2015 Yearly Highlights
The New Year offers us all a different tune to dance to than that of the year before, consequently offering us an opportunity to make changes in our lives. The first solar chart change happens in the 1st house for you Cappy. Venus, the planet of charm and social niceties, will vacate your personal house, likely meaning that you need to quit being so, well, nice. If you are a leader of others this is especially true. Pluto is still in your 1st house, as is Mercury, the planet of intellect, networking and communication. Therefore, it is probable that if you are going to lead your people to success you need to work smarter and be more focused on your goals. Socializing to make money is not a good business plan.
You will have added incentive to make money this year and there may be a specific investment you desire which adds drive to your endeavors. Be on the lookout for innovative types who can enliven your ideas and bring antiquated business practices into the 21st century. Overtly aggressive methods will also work, but are not necessarily the best option as these can also cause you some very big problems in other areas.
The emotional moon has moved houses in your solar chart into you partnership house. This can make you closer to your spouse, business partner and best friend, which is a very lovely thing. However, it can also indicate emotions which are not controlled. This can be good or bad, but in your case, I think this is good. Being the stoic Goat that you are, a little warm fuzzy might be a nice change. However, it does appear that some of your emotive feelings may come in the form of jealousy, envy or possessiveness for a partner, or visa versa, though it looks more like you. Dont try and control others or use emotional manipulation. Definitely dont freak out and have a jealous fit. People either want to be with you or dont. If they dont, realize they arent worth your effort and move on, youll save a lot of time (and avoid looking like a loser).
Jupiter is helping you out a lot by giving you a huge boost in your charismatic and power sector. Which is fantastic for getting what you want, so the above mentioned possibilities are lessened somewhat, but made worse in that this increase in energy also rules bat crap maniacal types. On a mundane level you may need to start saving for next years tax bill. If you manage the finances for someone else, they may have an excess in fluid resources which need to be invested. I would strongly suggest they take the lead in this and you defer from offering financial advice to them unless that is your fundamental capacity.
The fates are beckoning to you from the uppermost sector of your solar chart and you could receive a job offer from a source you were not expecting or that will take you far away from your comfort zone. Take it. The Universe wants you to see the world from a different vantage point. You can ignore this call, to your own detriment. Falling back on what is easy is an anathema to you cosmically speaking. You need to try something different. If you havent had a job you would consider a career you definitely need to consider finding one, even if this means getting further training.
Finally, Saturn, your ruler, has taken up residence in the most secretive and hidden area of your chart. Saturn is immensely kinder to you that he is to the rest of us, so this isnt likely anything to be afraid of, other than it could mean you need to spend some time in a hospital taking care of some age related health issue. If you arent oldish, then you are probably fine and if it manifests as something to do with a hospital it will be that you need to visit an older relative who is sick.
While Saturn is taking a bit of a siesta, you may want to take some time off from life and do something introspective or find some time to revisit an old dream. Remember, you are NEVER too old, or too young to pursue those things for which you have secretly hoped. You have the north node signaling that you may be able to accomplish a goal you never thought possible. Start out quietly, find out who can help you attain it and what training you may need to pursue it, then make a plan to do it. Nothing is stopping you, no one will thwart you unless you let them. Get out there and make yourself happy!
2014 Yearly Horoscope
Well, my dearest Goats. I have good news and bad news. The bad news is Pluto is still dogging your solar sun, even more closely than last year. You are flirting with some extreme power here, and for the most part you are handling it well. The good news is that you will have it a bit easier this year as the planet of intellect and the planet of happiness are joining your entourage. Well, that is if you dont scare them off. Pluto is the planet who invented the word cool (as well as kidnapper, mobster, stalker and spy). Try cool, I think it will go over better and keep you out of jail.
The other great thing is that you will have increased attracting ability. Venus and Mercury are conjunct, so if you are a poet, get to writing. If you are making people swoon with all your sweet words, make sure you mean them. You can do very well in leadership positions and utilize all these energies by being a diplomat or mediator.
There is a further indicator of an ease in wordsmithing in your house of communications, so if you do have any kind of writing ability you should probably work on it. Even if you dont think you have any talent, you should put your thoughts down anyway, it can be cathartic.
The energy of faith, gentleness and idealism is paired up with an asteroid, called Chiron, who is the patron saint of gifted and intuitive teachers and healers who tend to refuse to play by the rules and enjoy blazing new trails. This energy isnt yours alone, we all get a piece of it in one way or another. Of course, there is a less positive side to it (as there is with all energies) which includes such things as con artists claiming to have a new teaching method or healing technique. There are a number of icky possibilities, including people pretending to be hurt or disabled and using it to gain sympathy or some other ulterior motive. Be especially wary of people you meet at church or at some community event. This energy can bring some of the most uplifting and heartwarming experiences, or it can crawl around in the gutter with the snipes.
The added indulgence in your solar chart is that the moon is involved in this, so you need look no further than your own home for any of the above mentioned items. This can bring someone very intuitive or nurturing into your sphere. The kind of person who can take one look at you and know you need a pot of chamomile tea and some alone time. Or maybe your brother will show up on your doorstep swearing you only have to watch their four delinquents for a week and after a month you have to file a missing persons report and find him holed up in a crack den romancing five prostitutes. Obviously there are vast variations on this theme. I hope yours are of the former type and not the later.
Part of the reason I worry for the changes in your family unit have to do with the fact you have Uranus in your family house, which signals some very surprising changes. You might move someplace suddenly or to somewhere very different from where you have ever lived. You could see your children leave the nest or you could find out you are going to be a parent. Aging parents may also cause some unexpected moments, from getting in an altercation in a public place to driving their car up a tree because they didnt see it there. Be patient with them. Remember, it is their world that is falling apart and in some cases they may not even fully understand it. If their mind is okay then their accident is likely just that, an accident. Even if they are a little slower than you remember, give them a break.
If you have a boy or man living with you there is a likelihood you may not get along very well this year. If it is a younger person it might be they are going through a rebellious stage. Be extra careful with regard to accidents around your home, you will be much more accident prone doing home improvement projects. When I had this configuration many years ago I kept cutting myself while chopping up things while cooking.
There is further indication that using an authoritarian or paternalistic attitude with kids around you will not work out well for you this year. A child might display some sort of latent talent and if you are harsh or dictate to them they will squelch it and you will be guilty of undermining anothers confidence or genius. That brings bad ju-ju on you eventually. Dont do that.
If you have a lost love, they might turn up on your doorstep now. If you are looking for a date, going someplace from you past might help you meet someone. All the things I am relaying to you in the last couple of paragraphs have to do with the south node in your solar 5th house. Do a quick internet search on this if you want to know more. Taken alone the south node is a little ghoulish, I dont like it and I like it less in this house. Keep your kids safe.
You do have greater benefic Jupiter in your house of marriage and best friends. This will go a long way towards bringing some good feelings into these relationships. If you are looking for a long term partner, this also can bring you several options. The only downside to this is that if you are a great catch, especially financially, and lets face it, almost all Capricorns are, especially the women. You might have a bunch of opportunistic types sniffing around you. If they ask about your investments, give them the boot.
Happy and joyful tidings come from universities, religious organizations, your in-laws, overseas travel, foreigners, influential types and international business. You might have a few laughs with some of these folks or you could make a quick little profit.
The competition is heating up in your career sector. If you dont work in an overly competitive field then it will play out with people that you work with, especially bosses, being rather testy. If you are the boss, you probably need to mellow out a little. Refer to the first couple of paragraphs. The consequences of your actions regarding the misuse of power are something you want to avoid this year. Plus, because of that energy in your family house creating chaos and making people crazy you might have someone go off on you if you get too uppity. I used to carry pepper spray and a knife. You should probably invest in some form of personal protection if you have a job of some prominence or work in places where you never know what you might encounter, which is like, everywhere.
If you dont belong to any charitable or humanitarian groups, you should join one. Especially one that includes people who are older. Friends from your past can be quite helpful. However, I dont think they will be much fun. And, you are likely to owe them something in the end if you ask favors. But doing something like Meals on Wheels would do you a lot of good and a lot of other people as well.
This year is one to remain practical and do what you can to make decisions that will be relevant for years to come. At no time should you tamp down your feelings either. You need to use them in all long term decisions. Being practical doesnt mean you dont take into consideration feelings, both yours and other peoples. This isnt going to be a light hearted kind of year for you, so take your fun where you can (remember that strangers, foreigners and even the clergy can offer you a great deal of humor when it is greatly needed). Finally, keep your temper in check, but under no circumstances allow others to walk on you. Your family can be your greatest blessing and you biggest curse this year. As can your ability to nurture others, or lack thereof.
The universe is asking that you use your intuition and you will find that you are much more psychic than usual. You will be rewarded with opportunities for emotional connections with people too. Again, I think you would greatly benefit by doing some charity work. You will receive a great deal more than you give, and these moments will be some of the best you have all year.
I hope you will have an absolutely fabulous year, with fun and prosperity raining down on your world. Please remember to say a prayer for those who are less fortunate, especially the kids with cancer.

United Technologies Corp. stock surged $3.75 a share Friday, as Wall Street reacted to a third-quarter earnings report that apparently convinced many investors the Hartford-based conglomerate had bottomed out and begun a rebound.
The stock closed at $47.12 1/2 on the New York Stock Exchange, an 8.6 percent increase representing one of the stock's largest one-day gains in recent years. More than 1.3 million shares changed hands in trading several times heavier than its average daily volume in recent weeks.

I wonder if it solves the problems when the channels are not perfectly in sync? I have a manually sorted DVB-T channels section but my autosort handled huge amount of DVB-S channels are usually bit different in vdr instances due to frequent updates. I think timersync works only when the channel numbers match.

This is an updated version of a story posted Wednesday at 11:16.
BOSTON – Justices on the state Supreme Judicial Court are reviewing a 300-page report on patronage and hiring practices in the state's Probation Department including the role played by state Rep. Thomas M. Petrolati, of Ludlow, in the growing scandal.
Paul F. Ware, an independent investigator appointed by the justices in May, submitted the report on Wednesday. The court has impounded the report and has provided no schedule for its official release, according to Susan Mellen, clerk for the high court.
The court appointed Ware on May 24 to conduct the investigation of hiring and promotion practices within the Probation Department, long used for patronage by state legislators.
The Probation Department has hired Petrolati's wife, Kathleen; Robert Ryan, the husband of Petrolati's chief of staff; Andre Pereira, a former legislative aide; and political contributors to his campaign.
Petrolati's involvement in the probation dispute may also cost him his leadership position and bonus pay on Beacon Hill.
Depending on the probation report, House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo may not reappoint Petrolati as speaker pro tempore, the No. 3 position in the House that he has held for the past six years. If he is re-elected speaker, as expected in January, DeLeo could unveil his leadership appointments in January or February.
Seth Gitell, a spokesman for DeLeo, declined comment on Wednesday.
If Petrolati is stripped of his leadership position, he would lose $15,000 bonus that he receives in addition to his regular $61,440 salary as a legislator. A Ludlow Democrat, Petrolati has served 24 years on Beacon Hill.
Colleen M. Ryan, chief of staff for Petrolati, said on Wednesday that Petrolati will not comment on the probation investigation at this point.
Petrolati attempted to quash a subpoena for him to testify in the sweeping investigation by Ware's office. In September, the state Supreme Judicial Court rejected Petrolati's request to kill the subpoena and said Ware had the power to compel him to testify.
In May, the justices of the state Supreme Judicial Court placed a longtime ally and friend of legislators, Probation Commissioner John J. O'Brien, on administrative leave following reports in The Boston Globe that painted the Probation Department as a haven for patronage where promotions can hinge on political donations.
John P. Pucci, a Northampton lawyer for Petrolati, recently referred to an article in CommonWealth magazine in Boston that said the practice of recommending people for jobs in probation was widespread and goes well beyond Petrolati.
The magazine reported that probation officials disclosed to Ware that they have a database of people who contacted the agency to recommend someone for a job or probation.
"It sets up a helpful context," Pucci said.

Slots With Bonuses
The infinite casino sea offers so many waves of satisfaction giving you trouble to choose entertainment that suits your taste. So, every bettor should first try out different popular best free online machines. Of course, it is important to get basic information about the holy grail of every machine – the Bonuses. What kinds are there? Which of them are present in the specific game? What are the experiences from the previous bettors? Good news is that pokies without free online Bonus games are very rare. When even plain classic slots without special background stories have additional features, imagine with which creative options Slots by Themes abound.
Slot Games with Bonus
Bonuses are not always about an extra payment such as Jackpot. They can also stand for some other terms related to the specific bonus of the machine as:
Wild, Scatter, Expanding Wilds, Stacked Wilds, Multipliers;
Pick me up, Shooters, Arcades, Hidden Objects, classic Card Gamble;
Usually gets you an extra spin round or the additional phase;
Slots Bonus Games
Software developers always compete in how to attract new bettors, and hence rules are becoming more innovative. However, the ground is pretty much the same. To make it more clear, here are two themed slots, from many of video slots available, as a good example of how this features work:
Rumble in the Jungle Slot
This jungle inspired pokie has five reels and twenty pay lines. It is a progressive Jackpot machine with the initial bet of 0.20 coins and a MaxWin of 12,500. Besides, it has great add-on features, such as bonuses:
- Wild Wins
A Wild symbol in the form of a flower bouquet. It usually comes stacked and can increase chances for a payout;
- Jungle Spin
A separate game which opens when 3 scatters show up on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th reel. You get five free spins and have a chance to win up to the 100x stake. Moreover, if five golden jungle fruits come your way, the Jackpot is yours;
- Monkey round
Another great mini phase where a player spins a three-reel machine and collects icons. Every icon has its own multiplier. When a bettor completes a certain collection, he/she walks away with a number of multipliers reached by that moment;
- Pick a Parrot
A typical pick me game. The rule is simple. Bettor chooses of one of the birds with hidden values. These rewards are not so high. About 2x to 3x a bet. However, this is expected in a low variance pokie;
- Mystery Prize
An additional option and completely random. When a monkey splits a banana on the display, you have won the reward. The amounts are higher than in the basic game;
The Wizard of Oz Slot Machine
Five columns and thirty bet lines carry up to 50 000 in this movie based machine. The bet ranges from 0.01 to 5.00. Wild of the machine substitutes any other element except the Scatter and the top Jackpot combination. Other than free spins and a fantastic Jackpot, interesting bonuses are available:
- Glenda Good Witch
An additional feature icon is showing Glenda, the character from the Wizard of Oz. It brings expanding wild. This element can land on any reel. When it appears, it can extend up to all five of them and transform into a wild.
- Oz Pick
A special option activated by the Scatter symbol. It is available on reels one, three and five. Here a bettor can choose between the monetary reward, the Winged Monkey feature, or the Road to Emerald City option. The Road to Emerald is an interactive phase and activates an extra round. The Winged Monkey triggers the additional spin round.
Iron Man Slot Game
The Iron Man franchise is one of the most beloved and celebrated productions of all time from Marvel Studios. Being a hero that is so popular, it would only make sense to present him on the slot machine to gamblers across the globe. Playtech innovation is the online gaming software provider behind the development of the Iron Man slot game.
This slot machine game features five reels and twenty selectable bet lines. It comes with numerous bonus features that help players win big. Even though the Iron Man slot is fixed, it comes with some pretty big wins that can go as high as five thousand coins. The icons used in the game are elements drawn from the movie including Iron Man himself (who makes an appearance on the reels twice), the film's logo, missiles, playing cards, a briefcase, etc.
An addition to the slot game is the inclusion of a bonus round that is labeled Missile Attack Bonus. The player activates it by landing a set of five iron man icons on active win lines. One is then taken to a different screen where they have to play the superhero in the presented quest to open different instant prizes such as real money, free spins, and chances to multiply their wins. If three or more scatters are achieved on the reels during this bonus round, players receive an extra fifteen spins that are played consecutively. The game comes to an end when the spins are depleted.
This slot can be enjoyed for free or for real money play. In the real money version, a gamer can wager as low as one cent and as high as five dollars on each active win line. This makes it suitable for a wide range of gamblers. The Iron Man slot garnered so much popularity that it saw two more slots based on the same theme produced – Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3.
Wheel of Fortune Slot
The Wheel of Fortune slots has been regarded to have a fan base that is second to none. These slots are the ones that put International Gaming Technologies (IGT) on the map in the gaming business. Since its development in 1996, the slot has been known to give players some of the biggest wins in both online and land-based casinos. The beauty of the Wheel of Fortune is that it incorporates numerous slots in its theme. All these slots share a similar theme and gameplay. They all come with five reels and the same number of fixed win lines. Even though the number of win lines may appear lower than those featured in popular slots, Wheel of Fortune slots offer no less than seven hundred ways for the player to become a winner with every spin.
The lowest amount that can be wagered on each pay line is 0.01 dollars while the highest stands at five dollars. The jackpot price could rise as high as fifty thousand coins. Even so, there is a huge difference between the highest and the second highest achievable win on these slots, which stands at two thousand five hundred credits.
The main feature in these slots is the Wheel of Fortune icons that acts as a multiplier. The other icons featured on the reels differ depending on the specific slot being played. With the power to replace any icon on the reels except for the scatter, a set of three or more Wheel of Fortune icons on the reels multiplies a player's winnings by two.
The three jackpots that are featured work to make the gameplay more exciting. Each has a specific reel that they appear on and collecting those awards players with different prizes such as free spins and money.
The Wheel of Fortune bonus round present players with a wheel which they have to spin and complete various puzzles. The wins from this bonus round accumulate similar to a progressive jackpot. This bonus round is only available to players who bet the maximum possible amount.
A production of Microgaming, one of the bigwigs in the casino business, the Thunderstruck slot has gone a long way in gaining a lot of popularity since its development back in 2004: only a few slots have remained so popular over such a long time. The theme featured in this slot surround the Norse God of thunder, storms, and lightning, Thor. It comes with five reels and nine fixed win lines, which are few in comparison to most other online slots.
The icons that are used in the game are related to the stormy theme used. They include:
- The god of thunder himself, Thor
- A hammer
- Lightning
- A horn, etc.
The most notable feature in this slot is the free spins bonus round. When a player matches three or more scatters on the reels, which are represented by rams, they receive fifteen free spins. They are played consecutively once they are acquired. The offer of free spins may not be special, but it is the multiplier that accompanies them that makes things interesting. All the wins that a player gets during the free spins round are multiplied three times making the winnings quite big. Fifteen more spins are added if another set of wilds is triggered during the free spins feature.
The only downside to this slot is the fact that it is only suitable for low rollers. Therefore, players who are looking to win large won't find it rewarding. Even so, a sequel of the slot was produced, Thunderstruck II, which gives players a chance at higher wins.
Casinos Offering No Download Slots
Slots with bonuses are a popular occurrence in most online casinos. They are created for players who enjoy spinning on the go or do not want to fill up the memory space of their gadgets. Some of these casinos include:
- Casino Cruise
- Grosvenor Casino
- Betat Casino
- Bet365
- Betway Casino

Raids target foreign fish worker exploitation
A number of businesses, homes and trawlers have been searched in a probe into the alleged exploitation of foreign fishing workers.
Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary said warrants had been used at business and residential premises in Annan.
It added similar searches had been carried out on trawlers at Silloth in Cumbria and Peterhead in Aberdeenshire.
The operation involved about 150 personnel from both the police and its partner agencies.
It was part of an ongoing investigation being coordinated by Scotland's smallest police force.
It is being supported by a range of agencies including the United Kingdom Border Agency, the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency, the Serious and Organised Crime Agency, Maritime and Coastguard Agency and Marine Scotland.
Ch Supt Gary Small said: "I can confirm that we are currently coordinating welfare and support arrangements for 17 foreign nationals located during this morning's searches.
"These individuals came to the UK from the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Indonesia to work in the fishing industry.
"Given we are at an early stage of a large-scale and complex enquiry, I am not in a position to comment further in relation to the specific nature of the allegations being investigated at this time."

Story Description:
Baker Publishing Group|August 1, 2012|Trade Paperback|ISBN: 978-0-7642-0887-4
A story of romance and intrigue on a beautiful island resort from two bestselling authors, Tracie Peterson and Judith Miller.
When Melinda Colson's employer announces they'll be leaving Bridal Veil Island to return to their home in Cleveland, Melinda hopes her beau, Evan, will propose. But Evan isn't prepared to make an offer of marriage until he knows he can support a wife and family. Evan works as the assistant gamekeeper on Bridal Veil but hopes to be promoted soon. Letters strengthen their love, but Melinda remains frustrated at being apart from the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Then she learns of a devastating hurricane in Bridal Veil and knows she must give up her position as a lady's maid and make her way back to Evan.
The destruction on Bridal Veil is extensive, meaning every available person is needed to help with cleanup and repairs. Melinda finds a new job on the island, but Evan seems even busier than before, meaning she still never gets to see him. Has she given her heart to the wrong man? And when Melinda overhears a vicious plot against President McKinley, who is scheduled to visit the island, is Evan the one she should turn to? Will Melinda and Evan ever get the chance to stand at the front of a church and promise "to love and cherish?"
My Review:
Melinda Colson works as a lady's maid for Mrs. Mifflin in their home in Cleveland, Ohio. Currently they are vacationing at Bridal Veil Resort where they have a beautiful home but Mrs. Mifflin refers to it as a "cottage." Evan Tarlow works on the island as the assistant gamekeeper and he and Melinda are in love. Melinda wants to marry Evan right away but Evan refuses as he wants to ensure that he can fully support a wife and a family before he commits himself.
Mr. and Mrs. Mifflin decide to return home to Cleveland two weeks early as they are expecting some prestigious company and Melinda is just beside herself. This means she has two weeks less to spend with Evan. She finely breaks the news to him that she will be returning to Cleveland the following day and they promise each other that they'll write constantly.
While in Cleveland, Melinda learns there has been a devastating hurricane that has hit Bridal Veil Resort and she is totally panic stricken that Evan has been injured or worse. Much to Mrs. Mifflin's surprise, Melinda quits her job as her house lady, packs up her bag and returns to Bridal Veil Island. Has Evan been injured?
Melinda finds a job on the island and is pressuring Evan to marry but he remains committed that he won't marry until he can support her and a family. He is expecting to be promoted and hopes the promotion comes through or he won't be able to afford to marry and he is busier than he was before and has little time to see Melinda. She is worried that perhaps she has chosen the wrong man.
News comes that President McKinley and his wife will be visiting Bridal Veil Island and shortly thereafter, Melinda learns of an assassination plot against the President during his trip to Bridal Veil. Who should Melinda turn to for advice, her boss, Evan, or one of the investors?
This was a beautifully written story that captured my heart right from the beginning. The love between Melinda and Evan was so real. The descriptive narrative in the book allowed me to picture in my mind's eye Bridal Veil Island very clearly which always endears me even more to a story. I felt apart of the people on the island. I would highly recommend this novel to anyone.

This bridge is similar to the Market Street Bridge but the Newell Bridge retains a vastly higher degree of historic integrity, having no major alterations or loss of original material.
This bridge is an impressive cable suspension bridge with riveted Double-Intersection Warren through truss stiffening. The main cable is a wire cable, while the suspenders are steel rods with eyes and turnbuckles. The bridge has been noted as one of the first suspension bridges to have been built entirely of steel as opposed to wrought iron. This is not the result of anything spectacular, it is merely a function of its 1905 construction date. Prior to 1900 wrought iron was widely used for metal highway bridges because it was less expensive. During that time steel was also produced but was used for railroad rails where the stronger steel was a requirement, and this drove up the prices of steel, while wrought iron remained affordable. However, after 1900, steel became readily available and wrought iron quickly became a thing of the past.
The bridge's stiffening trusses have two styles of sway bracing that changes from every other panel. One is v-laced design whose height tapers at each end, and the other is made of two lightweight beams that also has attractive curved knee bracing curling above and below the lower beams, and below the upper beam. The merger of the upper beam's knee bracing and the upper knee brace of the lower sway bracing beam create a half-circle appearance. There is also a couple spots where there is a third built-up box beam acting as sway bracing.
The Newell Bridge is historically significant as one of the last few remaining suspension bridges on the Ohio River. There used to be many more, but they have been destroyed one way or another. It is also among the oldest bridges remaining on the Ohio River. The Ohio River has been devastated by the repeated frequent demolition of major historic bridges and so the surviving historic bridges on the Ohio River are becoming more and more critical to prioritize for preservation. The bridge is also significant because it documents the suspension bridge type as it was being used in the period very well, and as such is a good representative example of the technology.
The Newell Bridge is a privately owned toll bridge, that was owned by a company originally known as the Newell Bridge Company, then the Newell bridge and Railway Company, and today the Homer Laughlin China Company. The bridge has been extremely well maintained. Private bridge owners do what is most fiscally responsible for the profitability of their investment, and that is to properly maintain the bridge, and perform larger rehabilitation projects as needed. Private owners realize that ignoring routine maintenance and then demolishing and replacing the bridge is more costly. Government agencies should take note of this, since they often instead waste tax dollars by neglecting old and historic bridges until they deteriorate then they demolish and replace them.
The toll house on this bridge appears to have riveted roof trusses and as such it is certainly old and may be original along with the bridge.
The historic bridge inventory mentions that E. K. Morse of Pittsburgh was consulting engineer. This is assumed to be Edwin Kirtland Morse. He was an engineer for the Morse Bridge Company of Youngstown, Ohio who begin doing engineering consultation on his own in Pittsburgh after the Morse Bridge Company went out of business.
Information and Findings From Ohio's Historic Bridge Inventory
The toll bridge carries a 2-lane road and sidewalk
over the Ohio River between Newell, W.Va., and East Liverpool, Ohio. The
Homer Laughlin China factory complex is on the West Virginia end of the
bridge. The bridge's northern (Ohio) approach spans cross over the
4-lane US 30. Ohio DOT BMS inventories the two truss approach spans, and
WVDOT inventories the main suspension span over the river, but
historically they are all part of the same privately-owned toll bridge
Physical Description
The Newell Toll Bridge is a suspension bridge with a 750'-long main span flanked by steel truss approach spans. The cable suspension bridge has built-up steel towers and is conventionally composed of wrapped steel wire cables with wire suspenders and a stiffening truss. The stiffening truss is a riveted, double-intersection Warren configuration which transitions to simply supported thru-truss approach spans.
The bridge appears to retain integrity of design and materials.
Summary of Significance
The Newell Toll Bridge is historically significant
for its associations with the development of the Homer Laughlin China
Company and the company town of Newell, W.Va. (Criterion A). The Newell
Bridge Company applied to the War Department for a permit to build over
navigable water and was awarded the permit in 1903. The permit was
modified in 1904 when the alignment of the bridge was shifted 75' north
from the original proposed alignment due to difficulty acquiring clear
title to the approach on the Ohio side. The bridge's design was by
consulting engineer E. K. Morse of Pittsburgh. Construction contracts
were awarded in May 1904 with the steel work awarded to the American
Bridge Company of Pittsburgh and the substructure work to Mr. C. M.
Driver, also of Pittsburgh.
The eligibility of the Newell Toll Bridge has not been previously considered by either WVDOT or ODOT (Apr. 2009) (Communication with C. Fint, WVDOT).
The bridge is one of 10 suspension bridges inventory. The bridge type is used for both pedestrian and vehicular bridges starting with Roebling's 1856-67 Cincinnati bridge. This later example, representative of the type/design, has a moderate level of significance.

Hey All, this is going to be a pretty short post, as the how to is pretty simple for this project. In all, it took about an hour to do this update to my closet. Like the title says, Quick Closet Shelves.
See, we have more limited storage space in our house. There are small closets, and only the ones in the bedroom and a small one by the back door. With that being said, we have always kept all of our clothes folded and in dressers, the closet was just for sweaters and my dresses. The issue was always managing to make all of the clothes fit into the dresser drawers, and when looking for something, having to really dig through to find it. As you all know, digging through a drawer ends up causing you to have to refold at least a few things. This caused a chain effect of "why bother putting the clothes away when they will get messed up and be difficult to find" which lead to piles of clothes on the dresser or still in the hamper unfolded.
I finally had enough and took off to Home Depot one morning, mid-folding. I took measurements of my closet, decided how many shelves I wanted and that was it. This project came to just over $40.00 CAD and so far has been amazing for such a small change. Even my husband is doing some of the folding.
Make sure you read through the instructions and look over the plans fully before you start your project. Check out the "Before You Start" page for more on tool information, tips & tricks. Always stay safe and wear all safety protection. It is always best to make your cuts as you go and as they say, measure twice and cut once.
If you have any questions just ask away!
Shopping List
3 - 5/8" x 15 3/4" x 96" White Shelves
5 - 1" x 2" x 8'
Cut List
My closet is 47" Wiide by 25" deep. There is already one existing shelf in, and I want to add 6 more.
6 - 5/8" x 15 3/4" @ 46 3/4"
6 - 1" x 2" @ 46 7/8"
12 - 1" x 2" @ 17"
Tools Needed
Mitre Saw / Circular Saw
Measuring Tape
Brad Nailer
Safety Glasses
Ear Protection
Fist all you need to remove the current closet rod and then measure and mark off the locations on where the shelves are going to be.
Note: Keep in mind that the heights of where you are off are for the support locations. The thickness of the shelves will be above that.
Identify where any studs are. Usually you can tell from the existing shelf in your closet. The support that is there for it will have either nails or screws in place.
Install all of the 1" x 2" supports. I used a brad nailer, and added more nails in the locations of the studs. Where there were no studs, I put the nails in on an Upward & Downward angle
Starting from the top, place the shelves in. There you have it, Quick Closet Shelves!

We discuss what we mean by 'radicalisation', and what its connections to socialisation, terrorism, and 'religion' might be. We take on the methodological question of how one might go about researching such a contested topic, and look specifically at some of Matthew's findings relating to the causes of radicalisation, and the neo-Durkheimian 'sacred'.
By studying only video games, we impede ourselves and the progress which can be made; there are many aspects of video games which are affecting other elements of popular culture.
Conference report for The Religious Studies Project by our very own Venetia Robertson, RSP Editor and a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney.
In this interview, postdoctoral researcher of U.S. Catholicism, Francesca Cadeddu, shares some of her reflections on Roger Allen LaPorte, whose contested martyrdom by self-immolation is the topic of her present postdoctoral project.
Given its contextual and perspectival malleability, the notion of 'authority', and even more so of 'religious authority', is challenging to define and to study. In today's interview with Paulina Kolata, Dr Erica Baffelli discusses the notion of authority and charismatic leadership in the context of her research on New and 'New' New religions in contemporary Japan.
Report by Venetia Robertson, University of Sydney
For four days at the beginning of August, I attended the International Society for Media, Religion and Culture (ISMRC) conference within the beautiful grounds of Canterbury Cathedral in England. Hosted by Professor Gordon Lynch of the University of Kent, this conference brought together scholars
On a recent visit to Edinburgh, Louise met with Heidi Campbell to discuss her recent article "Understanding the Relationship between Religion Online and Offline in a Networked Society", which presents five key traits of the concept of "networked religion". These are: networked community; storied identities; shifting authority; convergent practice; and a multisite reality. Campbell presents an overview of each of these traits and concludes by questioning how digital communications technologies might affect religious authority in the future.
It goes without saying that 'religion' is a topic that frequently finds itself in the media spotlight. Whether we are talking about the recent Boston Marathon bombings, the funeral of Margaret Thatcher, the Arab Spring, or the recent critique of the UK government's welfare policy levelled by four major British churches, the ways in which the media negotiates, constructs and engages with this complex category has an enormous impact upon public opinion and understanding, and is increasingly relevant to academics, religious practitioners, journalists and the wider public.
"These kinds of situations can create a confluence of undisclosed interest, a phenomenon that can call into question even further the accuracy of media investigation and reporting."
The study of religion in the media is an interdisciplinary field which has been of interest for scholars in media studies, religious studies and sociology among others. In this interview, Christopher Cotter and Teemu Taira discuss the relevance of study of religion in the media from the religious studies point of view as well as the media discourse on religion – the ways in which media covers religion, functions as defining what counts as religion and negotiates its social location.
"Religion is not, in Beyer's model, something that attempts to respond to this process. Rather it is an integral aspect of globalization."
Anzac and Awe: Religion, Violence, and the Media in Australia
By Zoe Alderton, University of Sydney
Published by the Religious Studies Project, on 9 May 2012 in response to the Religious Studies Project Interview with Jolyon Mitchell on Religion, Media and Violence (7 May 2012).
Jolyon Mitchell is Professor of Communications, Arts
Discussions of religion in the media nowadays frequently revolve around issues of violence and social unrest. Religions and media can become collaborators in promoting peace and opening negotiations; at the same time the media can become host to extremist narratives which may incite violence. Does the media have a responsibility to promote peace? Are religions becoming more skilled at manipulating the media?

23,500 Fewer Babies Born Preterm
Dec 08, 2010, 03:08 EST
Number of Preterm Infants Drops to 523,033
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Dec. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- More than 23,500 babies were spared the serious health consequences of an early birth in 2008, according to new data released today by the National Center for Health Statistics.
According to the National Vital Statistics Report, Births Final Data 2008, 523,033 infants were born preterm, before 37 weeks of pregnancy, in 2008, down from a high of 546,602 in 2007.
The federal report contains detailed national birth information on a variety of maternal and infant health issues. For the first time, the report provides data on the percentage of newborns that fall into the gray area of "early term." These babies, who are born at 37 and 38 weeks of pregnancy are not preterm, nor do they meet the criteria for full-term because they were born before 39 weeks of pregnancy. However, these early term infants have higher death rates and are more likely to have health problems than full-term infants (39 to 41 weeks of pregnancy). In 2008, about 28 percent of infants fell into this early term category and only about 54 percent of infants were delivered at full-term, according to the report.
"Every week of pregnancy is important to a baby's health and the last weeks are critical because many important organs, including the brain, are not completely developed until then," said Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes. "The fact that 23,500 fewer babies were born preterm is encouraging and we hope it's the start of a trend because there still are more than half a million babies born too soon in the U.S. each year, and premature birth is the leading cause of newborn deaths."
Preterm birth is a serious health problem that costs the United States more than $26 billion annually, according to the Institute of Medicine. Babies who survive an early birth often face the risk of lifetime health challenges, such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities and others. Even infants born just a few weeks early have higher rates of hospitalization and health problems than full-term infants.
Following three decades of increases, in 2008 the nation saw the first two-year decline in the preterm birth rate, a 4 percent drop from 2006. The 2008 final preterm birth rate dropped to 12.3 percent, from the 2006 final rate of 12.8 percent. There were declines in the preterm birth rates for all racial and ethnic groups, according to the report.
The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. With chapters nationwide, the March of Dimes works to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.
