The Business Innovation Program represents a range of effective ways in which The Government of Ghana can accelerate innovation.
The intention of this recommendation by Goodman AMC is to help create a coherent package of support activity with clear routes, enabling businesses in Ghana to move more rapidly towards marketable products and services. Our vision at Goodman AMC is to continue to be innovative in developing and integrating our programs in response to business needs in Ghana.
The Business Innovation Program
The main aim of a Business Innovation Program will be to work with public and private industries in Ghana to develop and implement innovative strategies for key sectors to help maximize new business opportunities and growth in manufacturing, agro-processing and services and to also enable these key sectors to be able to compete with the international market.
The Business Innovation Program if implemented by the Government of Ghana or any other organization in Africa will have the sole purpose to help accelerate economic growth by stimulating and supporting business-led innovation. It will be focused on providing new and innovative solutions to enhance the ways both public and private sector businesses operate.
Globalization brings both opportunities and challenges. To share in global growth, Ghana has to compete effectively and this will depend on how the country is able to develop rapid technological innovative ideas, effective strategic management of knowledge, and create a clear focus on higher value-added goods, services and industries.
The Business Innovation Program will help tackle the barriers to innovation by working across business, academia and government, striving to create a more effective innovation environment, reducing risk and promoting collaboration, knowledge exchange and open innovation.
It will build strategic partnerships with key organizations such as the research councils as well as connect and create engagement between people and organizations in Ghana which might not normally work together, and act as a catalyst to enable developments that otherwise would not take place in key government agencies.
Why Ghana Needs a Business Innovation Program
Most public and private sector businesses in Ghana lack the creative ability to develop innovation driven ideas that will enable them to be able to tap into available business opportunities and current trends in doing business in Ghana. This makes it difficult for them to compete on the international market.
- Develop and implement strategies for key public and private sectors to maximize new business opportunities and growth in manufacturing, agro-processing and services.
- Accelerate economic growth by stimulating and supporting business-led innovation.
- Enable Ghana to be a global leader in business innovation and a magnet for innovative businesses which can apply technology rapidly, effectively and sustainably to create wealth and enhance quality of life.
- Make Ghana one of the fastest countries in the world to start up a new business, and one of the easiest countries to set up a small business.
How the Program Will Operate
Turning Government Actions and Policies into Business Opportunity
The actions of all agencies and departments under the government can change markets and create opportunities for innovative businesses.
The Business Innovation Program will work with Government Ministries in Ghana to identify areas where policy, standards, and regulation can stimulate business innovation, creating innovation platforms as appropriate.
The Program will aim to help unlock the potential of the Government Ministries and Agencies to act as an 'intelligent lead customer', engaging with business to seek innovative solutions to public sector challenges.
By understanding their policies and innovation objectives, and adding the perspective of technology and business capability, this program will be able to form strong partnerships and work together to define specific program activities. This combination of resources can result in the leverage and alignment of significant public sector funding to create greater momentum for innovation.
Working with Departments and Agencies under The Ministry
This program will aim to work strategically with all government departments and agencies. It will be tasked to identify and develop innovative ideas and carry out actions that will make the operation of all these agencies and departments easier and flexible for sustainable Ghanaian business growth.
As the program works to help join these departments and agencies, it will also be important to communicate effectively how these organizations complement each other.
More widely, the Program will use communication strategically to ensure that it works effectively with these bodies to reach the businesses that can contribute most to innovation and growth, listen to their perspectives and needs, and communicate the outcomes of the projects supported and their economic and societal impact.
Partners in Innovation
The Program will also work alongside private sector organizations which invest in and promote business innovation. This will create partnerships and make new alliances, that can bring together business, policymakers, regulators and research thereby creating a business environment that enables rapid innovation.
Partnerships with businesses, from the largest to the smallest, will be at the heart of this Program. The program will listen and support business needs, mostly businesses which deliver a wide range of innovation. It will engage directly through the Idea Development Partners.
Idea Development Partners will help the program target and stimulate business innovation by drawing on the expertise of Ghanaian research institutions.
Innovate Ghana Campaign
The Program will develop a communications initiative that will be focused on encouraging mostly individuals to be innovative and be able to discover market and business opportunities.
This will enable them to build an internationally competitive skill base and promote more opportunities for individuals in realizing their potential. It will also boost enterprise and make this the decade of the entrepreneur, and rebalance the economy across sectors and across regions.

Ahead of spiked's conference 'The New Intolerance on Campus', taking place in London on 17 February, some of the speakers will kick off the discussion here on spiked. Here Joanna Williams outlines her opposition to the boycott brigade.
When Louise Richardson became the first female vice chancellor of Oxford University she made headline news for her defence of universities as places where all ideas can be freely debated. Yet her comments, and later those of Oxford's chancellor, Lord Patten, were newsworthy only because so few people from within the academy have had the nerve to tackle censorious students head on.
Some academics no doubt see student politics as simply none of their business. Others agree with the students' demands and espoused political causes to the extent that they lead by example in promoting censorship as the best way to deal with views considered objectionable.
Despite paying lip service to academic freedom, there is one issue above all others that many scholars think justifies restricting free speech. The campaign to boycott Israeli universities and scholars is the legitimate face of censorship on campus and it is often led by academics.
This month, 18 academics from Warwick University signed a letter to protest against the visit of an Israeli Embassy spokesperson at an International Relations Society debate entitled 'Question Time: Israel and Palestine'. The signatories argued:

Indicators for monitoring sustainable development goals17 sustainable development goals
The UN General Assembly has adopted 17 sustainable development goals (SDG), subdivided into 169 targets for 2015-2030. They are to be monitored according to an initial list of 244 indicators.
These goals and targets make up a common roadmap for all States for the transition towards sustainable development. Consultation has begun, under the aegis of the National Council for Statistical Information (CNIS), to put forward appropriate indicators for monitoring implementation of the SDGs at national level.
To achieve this, statistical indicators already available at national level for the 244 international indicators, in an exact or approximate version, have been identified and collected within the Official Statistical Service (SSP), the Banque de France and the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs.
INSEE, which coordinates the statistical work on the indicators for France, produced a leaflet on the SDGs monitoring.
Goal 9: Resilient infrastructure and innovationIndicators for monitoring sustainable development goals
- Modal share of public passenger transport (excluding air) in domestic land passenger transport
- Modal share of non-road transport of goods in domestic land transport of goods
- Manufacturing value added
- Salaried headcount in manufacturing industry sector
- Value added excluding taxes in the manufacturing industry by company size
- CO2 emissions (excluding CO2 emitted from biomass) in relation to GDP (expressed in purchasing power parity for 2012 in millions $US)
- Domestic expenditure on R&D as % of GDP (research effort)
- Research staff (researchers and support staff) in full-time equivalent
- Total amount of public development aid in the Infrastructure and Economic services sector
- Subscribers to mobile networks
Pour comprendre
In September 2015, the UN General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda establishing 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and 169 targets for 2015-2030. There are three main objectives: to fight inequality, exclusion and injustice; to tackle climate change, and to wipe out poverty. These goals and targets are not legally binding on States but merely form a common roadmap for the transition towards sustainable development.
In March 2017, the United Nations Statistical Commission approved a list of 244 indicators relating to the sustainable development goals and targets to be achieved by 2030. This framework of indicators, intended primarily for monitoring the SDGs worldwide, will be revised in 2020 and 2025 in order to take methodological developments and production capacities into account.
Every year, the UN Secretary General will prepare an annual report on progress with a global overview of the SDGs. States are also invited to produce national reports, which will focus on their own national monitoring indicators.
In France, the Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition and the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs coordinate and support the implementation of the SDGs.
In addition to this political guidance, INSEE coordinates statistical work on indicators for national monitoring. It is also part of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Devlopment Goal (IAEG-SDGs), which ensures the selection and implementation of international indicators.
At national level, in conjunction with the publication by the French General Commission for Sustainable Development of a report on the SDGs in 2016, INSEE carried out a census of producers of official statistics to gauge the feasibility and availability of the statistical indicators in France.
As a result of this census, an initial list was produced of indicators available at national level, in an exact or approximate version of the indicators required at international level.
Consultation has begun under the aegis of the CNIS to select the relevant indicators for monitoring SDG implementation at national level and to propose additional indicators where necessary.

Aiden McGeady's double gave Republic of Ireland the points as they began their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign with a 2-1 win in Georgia.
The Everton midfielder left it late to snatch victory for his side in Tbilisi, turning on the edge of the area before firing home his second goal of the game in the last minute to get the Irish up and running in Group D.
He had put the visitors ahead in Sunday's encounter with a well-taken 24th-minute goal before a wonder strike from Tornike Okriashvili looked to have guaranteed Georgia a share of the spoils when he let fly from distance shortly before half-time.
Ireland were far from at their best for long spells and they let their tempo drop in both halves.
But McGeady's late intervention gave boss Martin O'Neill victory in his first competitive game in charge, and crucially a platform on which to build their qualifying campaign.
Ireland reverted to a more familiar line-up after naming an experimental XI in Wednesday's 2-0 friendly win over Oman in Dublin.
And it was O'Neill's side who controlled possession in a lacklustre opening 20 minutes in which Georgia appeared happy to defend deep and attempt to counter-attack.
Georgia's tactic almost proved successful when Nikoloz Gelashvili capitalised on sloppy defending by Marc Wilson to race through on goal, but his shot from the right was deflected wide of the far post.
From the resulting corner, Akaki Khubutia's glancing header narrowly evaded the stretching Ucha Lobzhanidze.
Ireland almost immediately punished those missed opportunities with a swift counter-attack of their own to break the deadlock in the 24th minute.
James McCarthy did well to control Jonathan Walters' knock down and the Everton midfielder then slid a pass into the path of club-mate McGeady, who kept his nerve to slot past the onrushing Giorgi Loria.
The visitors appeared comfortable after their opener, but Georgia levelled seven minutes before the break with a breathtaking finish from Okriashvili.
Ireland were caught cold as the midfielder turned Stephen Ward before lashing his shot past a helpless David Forde into the top right-hand corner.
Loria was injured at the end of the first half in a collision with Stephen Quinn and failed to return after the break, with Roin Kvaskhvadze taking his place between the posts.
Ireland continued to enjoy the lion's share of possession in the second half but struggled to find a cutting edge and were often wasteful with the ball.
McGeady proved to be their most potent weapon, the winger shooting just wide from a well-worked set-piece before he then curled a shot straight at Kvaskhvadze from the left.
O'Neill introduced Shane Long and Robbie Brady for the final 15 minutes in an attempt to boost Ireland's attacking threat, but it was McGeady who was the difference.
In the final minute, the 28-year-old brought the ball down and turned sharply on the edge of the box, before showing quick feet and bending an accurate strike into the top corner.
O'Neill can now focus on next month's clash against Gibraltar on the back of a win, while Georgia must regroup ahead of their trip to Scotland.

It looks like stained glass. It feels like stained glass. It even reflects like stained glass. But it`s not. It`s stained-glass overlay, a simulated stained-glass process that gives the appearance of the traditional work for significantly less and in a fraction of the time, its producers say. Stained glass overlay is a 10-year-old process that has been franchised worldwide to 180 cities, including the traditional European stained-glass bastions of France and Germany.

George Simmons (Adam Sandler) is a successful standup comedian when he is diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia that is untreatable except for an experimental drug regime that has a very low success rate. It means he has less than a year to live.
During a show at a comedy club, George gives a very bleak performance that is not well received. Following him, Ira Wright (Seth Rogen), a struggling up-and-coming standup comedian, gives a performance in which he scathingly comments on George's preceding act.
George hears the act and decides to employ Ira to write for George and to perform as his personal assistant and general gopher. Ira's world is very different to the successful George's. Ira lives with two other guys in a small apartment and he sleeps on a foldout bed in the living area. He is envious of the apparent success of his flat mates and is struggling financially. As he enters into George's world he is overawed by George's marks of success — money, women, belongings — everything and anything he wants.
As Ira adapts to being part of George's world, his wide-eyed wonder and innocence begin to challenge George as George tries to come to grips with his imminent death. On the way, George begins to confront the superficiality, loneliness, and despair of his life.
Funny People is a profound examination of a whole range of themes — death, happiness, friendship, materialism, celebrity fame, marriage, and much more. Apatow has packed into the 146 minutes of this story as many subplots and themes as he could — many of these could make full narratives in their own right.
Adam Sandler is excellent as the troubled celebrity and Seth Rogen plays his role with innocent subtlety. Sandler and Rogen work extremely well together and the narrative moves along.
Because Funny People is about the world of contemporary standup comedy, it is stuffed with coarse language, sexual references, and other confronting adult material. But this material almost seems a desperate counter to a life of desperation.
As I have said, Funny People is not a comedy. It would be better described as a drama with humour. It is very deep and offers lots of material to think about. The resolution at the climax of the movie is mixed and no easy answers are offered to the question of what gives life meaning. But there are hints. We, as viewers, are respected enough not to be given a trite conclusion — at least not for all the characters.
I had read an interview with Judd Apatow where he said he wanted to make a serious movie. He has. So be warned. Don't go to see a comedy. Go if you want to be confronted with some serious questions about life and, in particular, think about where and how you find your happiness.
Coarse language and crude sexual humour throughout, and some sexuality
Positive Review
'Funny People is a true brass ring effort, a reach for excellence that takes big risks. It's 146 minutes, with a story that's more European in feeling than American.' - Mick La Salle/San Francisco Chronicle
Negative Review
'The denizens of Judd Apatow's Funny People have been pulled every which way to fit a misshapen concept, yet they remain painfully unfunny, and consistently off-putting.' - Joe Morgenstern/Wall Street Journal

Reporting from Washington — Even as deep federal budget cuts loomed at the end of last year, members of Congress from both parties paid taxpayer-funded bonuses to their staffs.
Overall, House members spent about $21.5 million more on their office payrolls for the fourth quarter of 2010, when bonuses are traditionally paid, than they spent for the average of the three previous quarters, according to LegiStorm, a Washington group that tracks congressional pay.
Defeated and retiring lawmakers paid an average bonus of about $4,000. Returning lawmakers paid an average $2,300, the group found.
The money came out of the average $1.5 million allocated to each office for expenses including salaries, travel and bottled water purchases — money that, if unspent at the end of the year, goes back to the Treasury. Some lawmakers have boasted of sending leftover funds from their office budgets to the Treasury to show their frugal ways.
Former Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (R-Fla.) was at the top of the bonus-spending list, paying out more than $200,000. Overall, 20 members of California's 53-member House delegation said they paid bonuses last year, including five who spent $100,000 or more.

Development and Progress of the Appalachian Higher Education Network
|COACH Mission Similar to AHE Network
"COACH empowers Boston Public School students to make informed decisions about their futures. Harvard students work in the schools to provide information and instruction on how to navigate the college application and financial aid process. We encourage students to explore educational opportunities as they develop and pursue long-term career goals."
From the COACH Web site
Forming the Network
In April 2000, ARC issued an RFP for new centers. The competition was open to all "institutions or agencies with demonstrated ability to operate and manage grant funds," (Request for Proposals by the Appalachian Regional Commission for Appalachian Higher Education Network Centers, April 28, 2000.) except for high schools, local education agencies, and for profit businesses. (Restrictions were due to a statutory prohibition against making grants to for-profit enterprises and to avoid any conflict of interest between ARC's grantee and subgrantees.) To help assure local ownership, each $50,000 grant was to be matched at least one- or two-for-one. The centers were to be faithful replications of OACHE and WVACHE and would work closely with high schools, community groups, other agencies, and the institutions of higher education that most frequently receive students from their self-defined regions. The RFP required that contracts be awarded to those entities that had the most viable plans and that would serve "a predominance of high schools in [economically] distressed counties (as designated by the Commission)." (Given the diversity of the Region and its school systems, ARC wanted to ensure that all distressed counties would have equal opportunity, regardless of student population or the number of schools.)
ARC received five proposals. Gattuso, White, Nancy Brooks Smith, Appalachian Regional Commission Liaison Office, US Department of Education, and Jeffrey H. Schwartz of the ARC Education Program reviewed the proposals and recommended to ARC federal and state co-chairs funding two of them. Centers were thus established in Kentucky and Alabama.
Having been authorized by the governors and federal co-chair to fund up to four centers, ARC released a second RFP in January 2001, and intensified its search for a funding partner. While two very strong proposals were received, one from Mississippi and one from Tennessee, without additional funding only one of them could be funded. In September 2001 the site in Mississippi was funded. The Mississippi site was funded first as it proposed to serve a greater number of economically distressed counties. ARC sought and, in February 2002, received a grant of $75,000 from the W. K. Kellogg foundation to support the two centers in Mississippi and Tennessee. Thus, the Tennessee center was funded and became operational in June of 2002.
As a part of its Distressed Counties Program, ARC again appropriated funding for the AHE Network in fiscal year 2003. Thus a third solicitation of centers was issued in May 2003. Both proposals, one from North Carolina and one from Virginia, were strong. Both were funded and the centers began operating in September of 2003.
Currently, AHE centers operate in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Figure 3 shows the service areas of the eight centers.

Timbaland Accepts Swizz Beatz Challenge
Swizzy's Got More
The press conference tour for Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor's upcoming fight (August 26), made its way into Brooklyn's Barclays Center In New York last night. Before the event, Swizz Beatz took to the main stage to call out Timbaland by challenging the producer to a beat battle. During the evening, Swizzy reiterated the challenge with our very own, Naji.
Back in February, Swizz Beatz had a similar battle against Just Blaze, that was streamed live on their Instagram accounts. Timbaland accepts Swizzy's challenge below.
Moving on to the main event, things between the 'Money Mayweather' and 'The Notorious' one continued to heat up. During the press conference, Floyd, who recently was hit with a $7 million tax lien, made it rain on his challenger. Pause. In response, Conor gave Money a copy of JAY's 4:44 for homework. Take it, listen and learn.

Teeth ?
First my wisdom teeth. Instead of having to have them pulled out they just feel out on their own. As they fell out they begin to chip into pieces Which did not hurt at all... This happened over the course of about a year. In that year I had to deal with several deaths in the family. One in particular was my grandmother. It was easy for me during the process but my mother took it really hard which was expected. During that time I would get these really really bad pains in my mouth. Mostly on the right side toward the back. At the time of my grandmother's passing the only thing I found was that the top to the back right had to do with the losing of a parent or something of that sort in the last few months i can tell just by talking to someone if they were going through something similar . normally when that hurts it is to do with a person that has lost or is losing a loved one. Maybe they just walked out of that person's life instead of death. Now on the other hand toward the front at what i call the K-9 tooth. I found that it begins to hurt when someone is angry. It feels as if the tooth is being twisted in my mouth. At times I can not even talk when this is going on. Now some may say go to the dentist but that is not the case here. In fact I at times can tell people what or who made them made. So I know it has something to do with the hurting tooth. I start feeling the pains before I even make contact with the person. Then once I talk to the person the pains go away. That is how i know who it was that I was feeling. Today the last piece of wisdom tooth fell out of my mouth and now the left side is starting to hurt just like the right side. The only thing I have been able to come up with so far is that it may have something to do with kids. I not sure yet but i am still feeling my way through this thing. Since my first post I have been able to get a lot of things under control and there are new things coming up. Help would be highly Thanked!!

As she uncapped her marker and began writing on the wall, any nerves Amberly Mendes had about her presentation—a talk about non-small cell lung cancer mutations given to a room full of students and faculty members in the University of Pennsylvania's radiation oncology program—were replaced with a confident smile.
Though she had only been working with the disease in her clinical research internship for about a month, Mendes relished the opportunity to connect with colleagues.
"I had never heard of a 'chalk talk'," she says. "It's a presentation without a PowerPoint. You only have a whiteboard, so you illustrate while you talk. It was a great experience and such a creative way to share information."
Jumping into new things is second nature for Mendes. It's a mindset that's allowed her to experiment and grow—starting out as a business student at her vocational high school before choosing to study biology at Suffolk—picking up skills as she refines her plans.
"In high school, I realized that business really wasn't my passion, but I learned communication and presentation skills I use all the time now to talk about my research," she says.
Mendes had an opportunity to do that this spring at the American Society of Microbiology Conference in New Orleans, where she and her mentor, biology professor Celeste Peterson, presented their joint research on bacteria. She also received the society's capstone fellowship award, which paid for her travel expenses and provided professional development coaching on topics like how to network with other scientists. The honor came only a few months after Mendes received a life sciences award at the McNair Scholars national conference.
The competitive internship program Mendes is participating in this summer at the University of Pennsylvania allows her to sample classes and find even more chances to hone her communication skills—like presenting her findings in the chalk talk.
One opportunity Mendes pursued when she came to Suffolk, volunteering with children and families in Massachusetts General Hospital's pediatric unit, has had a profound impact on her future plans:
"Sometimes I'll have a tough day and feel stressed, but then I volunteer with a three-year-old patient in the hospital who's just excited to show me his favorite trucks. It puts things in perspective and pushes me to do more."
Now Mendes is working toward a career in medicine, using her summer internship to develop her clinical research chops and meet older students following the same path.
Wherever Mendes' life takes her, two things are certain: she will never stop pushing herself, and she will always strive to make a difference.
"I get the most out of giving back," she says. "To me that's what Suffolk is about—giving back, no matter what you do."

Does the thought of Twitter completely confuse you? That's ok, there is a level of intimidation before you use any new social network. However, over the timeframe that we (@EDDFoundation) have been on Twitter, we have learned how easy it is to use and how it can be a very helpful resource for those battling sarcoma and other diseases.
Here are just a few of the reasons this social platform is informative, supportive and a strong networking source:
Constant stream of updates: Depending on how many people you follow on Twitter, you'll see that it is a rapidly moving stream of information. Many Tweeters link to new articles, blog posts, breaking news and more. Feel free to use the search tool and pay attention to hashtags as well as that is what is trending on Twitter.
Tweetchats: Almost like an online chatroom, Tweetchats are an organized timeframe in which a certain group of people meet on Twitter to discuss something. For example, #TreatDiariesChat is a Tweet chat that meets on Tuesday nights and discusses different topics. These Tweetchats often bring in experts and others who are going through a similar situation. You can follow the Tweetchat by clicking the designated hashtag (eg #TreatDiariesChat) and use that hashtag when you contribute.
Networking: Every time you support others on Twitter by following them or through retweeting their updates and favoriting their tweets, they get a message alerting them that you have done one of those things. This lets them know that you are out there and may connect the two of you. This is how we met Stephanie Zimmerman a sarcoma survivor and director of myHeartyourHands as well as Andrea Nugent, a breast cancer survivor, author and founder of Bionic Girls. Both women have been featured on our blog and are exceptional contacts made through Twitter.
Some popular Tweeters in the sarcoma community include (this is just a sampling, but if you want to add anyone, please let us know in the comments):
@CureSarcoma: Sarcoma Foundation
@Sarcoma_UK: Sarcoma UK
@Bruce_S: Bruce Shriver, Founder of the Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative
@TeamSarcoma: Liddy Shriver Sarcoma Initiative
@1Million4Anna: 1Million 4 Anna Foundation
@EDDFoundation: Eric D. Davis Sarcoma Foundation
@DanisFoundation: Martha Simmons of Dani's Foundation
@SarcomaAlliance: Sarcoma Alliance
@MyHeartYourHands: Stephanie Zimmerman
@NoreenBo: Noreen Boland
@CancerHAWK: Robyn Stoller
@23andMeSarcoma: 23 and Me
@BriMacIsaacFndn: Brian MacIsaac Sarcoma Foundation
@KickSarcoma: Dr. Grace Moshi
@MDAndersonNews: MD Anderson
@TonyOncDoc: Dr. Tony Philip
@TheCSHF: The Cynthia Solomon Holmes Foundation
@MandosCause: Armando Del Toro
And there are so many amazing, informative and supportive people in the cancer and rare disease communities on Twitter as well. Right now this list is focusing on sarcoma, but eventually we'll add to our list with some of those Tweeters as they are so valuable as well.

In the 1960s, people asked if your tv was color or black and white. The '70s were all about the 8-track. The '80s and '90s found us toying with CD-ROMs, DVDs, and computers with superhigh-speed processors. Well, welcome to the new millennium, where the big question isn't what kind of PC do you have, but how many. And, as the number of systems and peripherals in homes increases, families are looking to embrace another new technology–home networking.
Whether you choose a wired or wireless solution, there are a number of compelling reasons for networking your home PCs. Networking lets you use a single printer for all the systems, share file storage and backups, and enjoy after-hours online games with the family. Homes with networked computers can share a single phone line, making arguments over who gets the connection a thing of the past. If broadband Internet access via cable or a DSL modem is available, you'll quickly discover that a home network is essential for domestic tranquility. Shared Internet access even works well over a 56Kbps dial-up connection, and it can help lower your monthly ISP charges–and your phone bill. Better yet, networking lets you access files from other servers, such as those at work. That could put telecommuting squarely in your future.
Whichever type of network you choose, you'll need a gateway–a hub that directs network traffic to and from your devices. Many of the new wireless residential gateways pack most of the functions into one easy-to-install package. A good unit will bundle a DSL or cable-modem wireless access point, an Ethernet hub, a firewall, and an Internet router in a single box. Because different DSL providers have different modem requirements, you typically buy an all-in-one unit preconfigured by your ISP when you set up service. Before you begin, be sure to ask your provider if there are any additional specifications that you should know about or any other equipment you'll need.
Other new gateways are designed to work with the DSL or cable modem you got from your ISP. You buy these gateways off the shelf from computer and electronics retailers (such as Circuit City, Best Buy, and CompUSA) and handle setup yourself. If you choose a wireless network, get ready to spend a little extra money. In addition to the gateway, you'll need a PC Card, a PCI card, or a USB adapter for each device on the network.
Joseph M. Edwards, 27, and his fiancée, Carmen Harris, 24, live in Laurel, Maryland, where the winter weather can often leave them stuck at home. Their home network, however, has made snow days as well as sick days a thing of the past. Edwards, a senior network engineer for eLink Communications in Bethesda, Maryland, is a self-professed networking guru who has been providing PC and networking support to telecommuters for the past seven years. Edwards discovered his talent for computers through an internship at the National Institutes of Health while he was a student at Howard University.

He has a Masters in Social Work and is also a licensed clinical social worker. Prior to Parrott Creek, he volunteered and worked in the social services field since 1998. Every day he is inspired by his clients and gratified to work with the smart, funny, and dedicated staff at Parrott Creek.
When he is not working, he craves outdoor adventures such as hiking, animal/bird viewing and scuba diving, or urban adventures such as art, movies and almost any kind of live music.
Andrea Rohm, Juvenile Diversion Program Manager
Andrea has worked at Parrott Creek for 11 years, but was actually a Diversion Panel Volunteer for several years before she was hired. She started out as a part‐time Program Coordinator and then moved to a full time coordinator where she served 6 cities on her own, it was a bit hectic! In 2008, she became Diversion Program Manager and has loved almost every minute of her many wonderful, but challenging at times, days at Parrott Creek. She has always felt that when she got this position, she had "arrived", fulfilling her passion for youth, and hopefully making a difference.
Because Parrot Creek is such an awesome, supportive, collaborative work environment, she plans on staying until they change the locks and don't give her a new key…
The other capes that Andrea wears, besides "Super Diversion Lady" of course, is "Super Wife" (she asks "please don't check with her husband for confirmation on that self proclaimed Title!"), "Mom" and "Ma". She has been married almost 32 years, has 3 grown kids and 2 grand kids whom she loves to spend time with. She loves to read, hike, bike, find good deals, and travel. She also loves to sing show tunes, much to her family's chagrin.
Justina Johnson, Development Manager
Justina Johnson joined Parott Creek in 2017 with a background in fundraising, communications, and finance. Justina graduated from California State University, Chico in 2010 with a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and a Certificate in Literary Editing and Publishing. Her background in writing and editing has driven a career in grant-writing and non-profit fundraising, and she has served in management and development roles at non-profit organizations in California and Oregon.
Justina is passionate about community engagement and Parrott Creek's work serving youth and their families. She loves reading, baking, and outdoor adventures with her family.

Tard with a rundll problem.
Ok, so every time I restart my system I get 3 rundll error messages. Saying something like "specified module could not be located". But these don't seem to be typical dll's, that is, well.. this is an example of one:
They're all variations of that. Now.. I know I was infected with something or another.. which is why I decided to go to town with iolo system mechanic after my antivirus "removed" the threat. However.. I may have went a little too far in my spring cleaning frenzy and possibly deleted some important files. I googled the hell out of this topic, but to no avail.
Can anyone tell me what this is/or might be? And if at all.. how to fix it?
Keep in mind I be very poor, so all those file recovery programs are a no go.
Thank you.

Hi, welcome to the forums :)
Although you say the virus you had was cleared it still looks like your system/registry is trying to call the files during boot.
I advise you download MalwareBytes and perform a full system scan.
Once complete, in the Start search box type %userprofile%\appdata\local\temp and delete everything in the folder then %systemroot%temp and delete everything in that folder then perform a reboot.
You may be prompted that some files are in use, just skip them an continue

Thank you for the welcome, and the lightening quick reply.. I don't think my post was up an entire minute!
Just for clarification, which I often need, I simply run the scan and follow your instructions? No purchase necessary?

Hi, sorry for the late reply (dam laptop repair)...
There's no purchase necessary, just download the free version and run the scan :)

So I used the Malware scanner and it found and removed a lot of junk that Norton AV didn't.. go figure. I also deleted what I could in the locations you directed me to, but that didn't seem to work.. actually another rundll error has popped up. Oh, and I greatly appreciate your help.. I feel like a needy kid tugging at your pant leg.

Most portable reflectors
This portrait of my good friend and fellow photographer, Sjoerd Booij was taken while we were out shooting for my Midnight Rabbit series (flash) not too long ago. After shooting several scenes we fit in a quick portrait before calling it quits. For the Midnight Rabbit series I only use the available light so I didn't have lighting with me so we looked for the strongest light around and found it in a storefront. I was planning on shooting with the light shining directly on him but while determining the softness and direction of the light using our hands we saw that it was also reflecting off Sjoerd's hands onto his face. That was the eureka moment! The most portable reflectors are your own hands, we'll the models hands.
This diagram shows the setup (did my best on editing in some hands)
This behind the scenes shot better shows the hand positions.
This is what we came up with in the end, so using the one light and both Sjoerd's hands we suddenly had a three light setup, with the storefront light to the rear left as a rim light, his right hand as a main and his left hand as fill.
The RAW version
And this is the final edited version.

The Nativity in 2009..
Eloise "Hey mom – we can't figure out who Joseph is."
Me "He is one of the guys."
Eloise "We know that – but there are like 6 guys here, which one is he?"
Me walking into the room "Well, these 3 look like kings or wise men, and these 3 are shepherds – so he must be one of the shepherds."
Eloise "Do we need a Joseph anyway because isn't God really His dad – why isn't God on this thing. Is Joseph really His step dad or what?"
Esther(randomly) "Is this the same Mary that is in the lamb song? I don't think she is married she is just a kid who has a little lamb."
Eloise "Well, I don't we should just use any of these guys without knowing who the real Joseph is. I am not doing it. We cannot just use any Joseph."
Esther "Why don't we just use a different guy each day – the green shepherd today, the blue king tomorrow. They can just take turns with Mary."
Merry Christmas.

Serial numbers can add value to paper money if they have number patterns that are special to collectors. Solid, ladder and repeater serial number patterns, which are collectibles, can significantly increase the value of dollar bills. Bills with serial numbers that form historic dates are also collectibles.Continue Reading
When redesigned dollar bills come out, the bill with the first serial number may be worth several times its face value. Collectors look for serial numbers with similar digits, numbers that count upwards or downwards, and numbers that look the same forwards and backwards. Dollar bills with pairs of repeating serial numbers and seven similar serial numbers also fetch more than their paper value on popular bidding sites.
Bills with serial numbers that form historic dates, such as 9/11 or the declaration of independence, are valuable collectibles. Serial numbers that do not form historic dates are also valuable to a collector with the birthday or anniversary formed by the pattern of the numbers. The value of bills with special serial numbers depends on market rates and the value the buyer and seller attach to specific numbers. Individuals who own bills with special serial numbers can sell them to dealers, such as USA Rare and Cool Serial Numbers, or auction them in currency auction houses, such as Heritage Auctions.Learn more about Currency & Conversions
