From spaghetti bolognaise to carbonara... we owe it all to pasta.
It was Sophia Loren who famously claimed to owe her iconic looks to pasta. Aaah. Spaghetti. That weekly staple. But what do you do with it next? Or have you got a great recipe or two that you stick to already? When I feel like a good pasta dish, few things beat the flavours in this effortless roasted tomato sauce. For quick meals in summer I also love tossing cooked spaghetti with panfried artichokes, chili and garlic. Another favourite is a combination of fresh tomato, rocket and ricotta spiked with some olives or anchovies.Here are 10 of our favourite recipes using spaghetti:1. Summer spag bol
A lighter, brighter and greeener version of everyone's favourite pasta.2. Chicken bolognaiseUse turkey or chicken mince in this recipe for a lighter alternative. Serve with sliced avocado.3. Ostrich steak bolognaiseOstrich meat is a low-fat alternative to red meat and delicious in this ragu.4. Pork banger spaghettiTry adding grated courgette at the last minute to transform this dish into a healthier one, that kids will love.5. Meatball pastaDo something different with mince. Leftover meatballs are handy for snack boxes.6. Tuna herb pastaA good one to remember - delicious and easy to assemble from cupboard staples.7. Spaghetti alla carbonaraTry adding a handful of peas or baby spinach to this quick and tasty dish.8. Quick chicken liver pastaFull of flavour - this combination of mushrooms, sherry and chicken livers work surprising well.9. Spaghetti alla puttanescaReal comfort food. If you are vegetarian, just omit the anchovies in this dish.10. Spaghetti frittataThis is a great way to use up leftover cooked pasta.

Graphic recording is when a person like me documents a group's conversation or a presenter's speech by drawing on a large piece of paper or foam core using markers. This is done in real time with the graphic recorder standing in the room...even a virtual one.
The visual capturing of people's ideas and expressions—in words and drawings—can be a catalyst for generating new ideas, for aiding comprehension, or to help people see emerging patterns in group interactions.
These giant drawn documents (see more examples on the Gallery page) are a joint venture between the meeting facilitator, the graphic recorder and the meeting's participants. They serve as a visual map of the event and allows the group's collective work to be better understood and to be shared with others.
Let's create something together!

Here is a list of the five biggest problems that link builders are going to experience. It is in order of how commonly the mistake is seen. The reasons why these problems happen so often is because people misunderstand the rules of SEO, or their trial and error tests lead them to conclusions that what they are doing is right, but is actually leading them down a more difficult path. Here are five of the biggest problems that people face when link building.
Overestimating How Many Links Are Needed
This is done by people who misunderstand SEO. More links don't mean a higher rank in the search engine results pages. It is a good thing if you have more links than your leading competitors. But how you beat them does not really have any effect on your websites SEO.
The effects are the same if you have 10 links more than your competitors, as if you have 100 links more. The gaining of too many links is a common mistake. If it's done too much, the website may be punished by Google.
Thinking That Link Building Is The Best SEO Method
This happens because link building is one of the fastest ways of raising your position on the search engine results. It has the very quick effect. People can go from being result number 220,000 to being result number 300 within a matter of days. This leads people to believe that link building should be their primary concern.
The problem with this theory is that it was born through a misunderstanding of how search engines actually index sites. The search engines will score a website on various things. If you use a SEO tool that shows PageRank, you may be able to see how well (or poorly) you score on some of these points.
For example, 25% of your rank may depend upon links, 15% on on-page SEO, and 10% on social media markers. Those are just examples of how the percentages may work. But you have to understand that when each portion of your SEO efforts has reached its maximum percentage – then adding to it will make little difference. This is where 2000 links will give you the same benefits as 75 links.
Becoming Accustom To Rejection
People are used to try to gain links through guest posts and requests to join article dissemination sites. Blog owners are going to reject guest post requests and some article disseminators are going to refuse access onto their sites. This will cause the link builder to send the same message to multiple blog owners in an attempt to gain guest posts by playing the numbers game. This results in more rejection as the blog owners will see it as spam.
Linking Only To Build Links
Google judges links by the fact that they may indicate if another webmaster finds your content relevant to something else, or finds your content interesting. A natural link will appear is a website captures somebody's interest. Google will rank a site higher if it has multiple links going to it, but this is not the only reason to create links.
You should build links with a view to gaining direct traffic from them. This will remove your dependence upon search engines. A common mistake is to hide or play down a link. A link should be highly visible and advertised so that people will click on it.
Paying An Online Company To Handle Your Links
This is the cream of bad ideas. You have no way of knowing if the company you pay is actually going tocreate a high quality link campaign, or if they are going to use black hat methods. You have no way of knowing if their company will fail soon and take all of your links with them.
If Google punishes their site or company, then your website may also be punished. Google does not like websites who pay people to manipulate their links. Black link building will be punished.

Title: Double Alchemy: Climax (Double Alchemy Book #2)
Author: Susan Mac Nicol
Publisher: Boroughs Publishing Group
Release Date: 22nd May, 2014
Genre: M/M Paranormal Romance
Purchase Link: Boroughs Publishing Group
Powerful modern warlock Quinn Fairmont found ecstasy with the silver-eyed and not-quite-human Cade Mairston, but to know true happiness the pair must best both the shadow of a long-ago lover and an ancient enemy who seeks to destroy love, light and all they hold dear.
It begins with a Book of Shadows discovered by a London coven. The grimoire is as dangerous as it is rare, which is why it evokes modern-day warlock Quinn Fairmont's desire. He collects objects of great power and beauty—like his lover, Cade Mairston.
Against all odds he and Cade found each other, but their perils have just begun. First is the ex-lover who once held Quinn in thrall. And, someone has been killing warlocks. Could it be one of his own kind? There are those too who would challenge Quinn's power in their quest to overthrow him as Grand Master. Or is the danger something darker, something invoked inadvertently, rising from the shadows, building from the very inside of a man until it brings an end with a quick flash of light? Of the truth, the surface has only been scratched. Now Quinn and Cade must go deeper and find both answers and an end. They must learn what lurks in the hearts of men…and whether it seeks to love or destroy.
WWhen he got home, he smiled as he saw the blind at the front window twitch. The front door opened and a lean, tall frame lounged lazily against the door frame watching Quinn walk up the path. Cade laughed as Quinn bowed low.
"Home safe, my Queen. I promised, didn't I?"
Cade smiled at him, eyes amused, then drew closer, his eyes narrowed in anger. "What did that she-devil do to your face? Did she scratch you?"
Quinn kissed Cade, his lover's concern and love for him like a welcome-home present sitting on the hearth. "Valensia got a little irate at something I said but she calmed down and I got out in one piece, virgo intacta." He grinned wickedly. "I didn't have to hump anyone but I got the book!" He pulled it out of his jacket pocket with a triumphant flourish.
Cade gawped at him. "She just gave it to you? What did you have to promise her to get it?" He frowned. "No, don't tell me. I'll probably get all upset and then we'll argue and everything will just go to pot."
Quinn shrugged, knowing his silence would drive Cade crazy, and went into the house with his boyfriend hot on his heels. He took off his jacket, and as much as he wanted to go upstairs and study the book, he knew he still had a little bit of conversation with Cade to complete. Best get it over with.
"I didn't have to promise anything. It appears Valensia has mellowed somewhat with me since our last encounter. Prickly on the outside but surprisingly a little more relaxed beneath. So apart from a scratched face, now I have the book and I'm praying all the hopes we're pinning on it to find the man we're looking for won't let us down." He looked longingly across at the stairs down to the basement. "So I thought I'd go to the library and see what I can find out."
Cade shook his head in resignation. "You'll be impossible to talk to until you get this out of your system. Fine, off you go. Dinner will be a while." He glanced at him slyly. "I have a few things of my own I need to sort out anyway. I had another text from Cooper. That man is becoming quite a stalker."
Quinn frowned. "Cooper? Who's Cooper?"
Cade sighed. "I've told you about him. He's this rather forward young man at work who keeps me asking me out. Unfortunately he has my mobile number and insists on texting me rather sweet anecdotes now and then."
Quinn shook his head darkly. "Does he know you have me at home? Is he becoming a bit too much?"
Cade laughed. "Yes, he's well aware of you. And I can manage Cooper, I promise. It's rather flattering having a young man pursuing me so ardently."
Quinn was a little put out at Cade's obvious enjoyment of having another suitor. "Exactly how old are we talking about? And I can't have Valensia, but you can have Cooper?"
Cade scowled at his laconic retort and Quinn smiled at him.
"Cooper didn't have me imprisoned in a bedroom so he could screw me every time he felt like it. You know it's not the same. And Cooper is twenty-eight." Cade smirked.

MANHATTAN — Carmelo Anthony is taking his talents to Broadway.
After months of posturing, the New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets finally hammered out a trade Monday night that sends Anthony to Big Apple in exchange for four starters, three draft picks and cash, according to several reports.
The Nuggets will send the All-Star swingman to Manhattan along with point guard Chauncey Billups, forwards Shelden Williams and Renaldo Balkman and guard Anthony Carter, the New York Times reported.
In exchange, the Knicks send most of their starting lineup to Denver, including point guard Raymond Felton, forwards Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler, and rookie center Timofey Mozgov, the Times reported. New York will also send their 2014 first round pick and two second-round picks, in 2012 and 2013, to the Nuggets. Anthony is expected to sign a three-year, $65 million extension as a condition of the deal.
The Knicks also traded Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry's expiring contract to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for forward Corey Brewer, the paper said. It was unclear whether he would stay with the team or be traded elsewhere in another deal.
"I'm glad its over," Nuggets coach George Karl told the Denver Post. "I'm glad it's an opportunity to reinvent. I think everybody handled it as classy as you could handle it. There's some sadness to it, there always will be."
The Knicks paid a king's ransom for a chance to get one of the league's top scorers and pair him with All-Star forward Amar'e Stoudemire. Anthony, 26, has a career scoring average of 30.4 points at Madison Square Garden.
Anthony led the Nuggets to the playoffs in each of his first seven seasons after winning a national title at Syracuse as a freshman in 2003. However, Denver advanced out of the first round just once during Anthony's time there.
"This was a long process and Carmelo is relieved that it is over and he's thrilled to be joining the Knicks," Anthony's agent, Leon Rose, said in a statement, the News reported.
Anthony and Billups will likely join Stoudemire in the Knicks starting line up with rookie Landry Fields and center Ronny Turiaf. New York, which has available roster spots, may sign free agent center Earl Barron or bring back Jarred Jeffries, who could be bought out by the Houston Rockets, the Daily News reported.
Billiups, 34, replaces Felton, 26, whose emergence helped transform the Knicks into winners this season. But Felton's resume doesn't compare with Billups who has made a career out of hitting big shots and leading teams to playoff wins.
"I think Chauncey will go down as one of the greatest winners," Karl told the Associated Press. "His record of seven or eight conference finals is, I mean, that's incredible. I think that's who he is, that's what he stands for."
Meanwhile, Anthony will have to pick a new jersey number for his starring role on Broadway. The All Star forward wore No. 15 in Denver, but that number was retired by the Knicks to honor New York legends Earl Monroe and Dick McGuire.
Whatever number Anthony picks, he and the new-look Knicks (28-26) begin the second half of their season against the Milwaukee Bucks at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday with a tremendous buzz surrounding them. Suddenly, the Bucks are a hot ticket.

Former Celebrity Big Brother star Dane Bowers will stand trial today accused of assault following an alleged brawl at a Butlins holiday camp.
The former Another Level singer was the headline act at a 1990s night at the resort in Bognor Regis, West Sussex, when the incident occurred on April 20.
Bizarrely, hours before standing trial, the singer tweeted that he wished he were Disneyland with Michael Jackson's nephew TJ Jackson as it was raining in London.
The 34-year-old DJ, from Coulsdon, Surrey, who once dated model Katie Price , pleaded not guilty to two charges of assault by beating when he appeared in court on May 15.
His brother, electrician Wade Bowers, 31, South Croydon, also appeared in court and pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of cocaine but not guilty to three counts of assault by beating.
A third man, builder Terry Kean, 35, also from South Croydon, also pleaded guilty to cocaine possession but not guilty to using threatening words.
All three defendants were released on unconditional bail until the two-day trial starting today at Chichester Magistrates' Court.
Bowers, a former Brit School student, became famous in the late-1990s as a member of R&B band Another Level and after the group disbanded he sang a duet, Out Of Your Mind, with Victoria Beckham.
He appeared in Celebrity Big Brother in 2010.
Bowers is starring in a reality documentary series, The Big Reunion, on ITV2 where he is part of a band called 5th Story with fellow solo singers Gareth Gates, Kenzie, Kavana and Adam Rickitt.

The American people deserve to know the truth about gun control.
Passing strict gun control laws will not make us all safer. In fact, as you will read about below, even a study conducted at Harvard found that the more guns a nation has the less crime it tends to have.
In other words, there is a very strong positive correlation between more guns and less crime. This is the exact opposite of what the mainstream media would have us believe, but it makes sense.
You see, the reality is that criminals really, really, really don't want to get shot. When you pass strict gun control laws, you take the fear of getting shot away and criminals tend to flourish. Just look at what is going on in America today.
The places with the highest crime rates are the major cities where strict gun control laws have been passed. In some of those cities the police are so overwhelmed that they have announced that they simply won't even bother responding to certain kinds of crime anymore.
The truth is that the government cannot protect us adequately, and that is one reason why millions of preppers are arming themselves and gun sales have been setting new records year after year.
Unfortunately, the mainstream media and many of our politicians seem absolutely obsessed with trying to restrict our constitutional right to own guns.
They are waging a relentless campaign to try to convince the American people that guns are bad. But is that actually the case? Of course not. The following are 18 little-known gun facts that prove that guns make us safer…
#1 Over the past 20 years, gun sales have absolutely exploded, but homicides with firearms are down 39 percent during that time and "other crimes with firearms" are down 69 percent.
#2 A study published in the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy discovered that nations that have more guns tend to have less crime.
#3 The nine European nations with the lowest rate of gun ownership rate have a combined murder rate that is three times greater than the nine European nation with the highest rate of gun ownership.
#4 Almost every mass shooting that has occurred in the United States since 1950 has taken place in a state with strict gun control laws…
With just one exception, every public mass shooting in the USA since at least 1950 has taken place where citizens are banned from carrying guns. Despite strict gun regulations, Europe has had three of the worst six school shootings.
#5 The United States is #1 in the world in gun ownership, and yet it is only 28th in the world in gun murders per 100,000 people.
#6 The violent crime rate in the United States actually fell from 757.7 per 100,000 in 1992 to 386.3 per 100,000 in 2011. During that same time period, the murder rate fell from 9.3 per 100,000 to 4.7 per 100,000.
#7 Approximately 200,000 women in the United States use guns to protect themselves against sexual crime every single year.
#8 Overall, guns in the United States are used 80 times more often to prevent crime than they are to take lives.
#9 The number of unintentional fatalities due to firearms declined by 58 percent between 1991 and 2011.
#10 Despite the very strict ban on guns in the UK, the overall rate of violent crime in the UK is about 4 times higher than it is in the United States. In one recent year, there were 2,034 violent crimes per 100,000 people in the UK. In the United States, there were only 466 violent crimes per 100,000 people during that same year. Do we really want to be more like the UK?
#11 The UK has approximately 125 percent more rape victims per 100,000 people each year than the United States does.
#12 The UK has approximately 133 percent more assault victims per 100,000 people each year than the United States does.
#13 The UK has the fourth highest burglary rate in the EU.
#14 The UK has the second highest overall crime rate in the EU.
#15 Down in Australia, gun murders increased by about 19 percent and armed robberies increased by about 69 percent after a gun ban was instituted.
#16 The city of Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the United States. So has this reduced crime? Of course not. As I wrote about recently, the murder rate in Chicago was about 17 percent higher in 2012 than it was in 2011, and Chicago is now considered to be "the deadliest global city". If you can believe it, there were about as many murders in Chicago during 2012 as there was in the entire nation of Japan.
#17 After the city of Kennesaw, Georgia passed a law requiring every home to have a gun, the crime rate dropped by more than 50 percent over the course of the next 23 years and there was an 89% decline in burglaries.
#18 According to Gun Owners of America, the governments of the world slaughtered more than 170 million of their own people during the 20th century. The vast majority of those people had been disarmed by their own governments prior to being slaughtered.
Sadly, you rarely hear any facts like these on the mainstream news networks. Instead, they give countless amounts of air time to the radicals that are obsessed with gun control.
And did you know that there is now an official propaganda manual that has been put out for gun control advocates? This manual actually encourages gun control advocates to emotionally exploit major shooting incidents to advance the cause of gun control…

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions empower people to anticipate and embrace change so that business can innovate and grow. It increases the efficiency of the organisation by making the critical business information available for the right people at the right time.
While ERPs can bring about a huge change in how your business is run, an ideal ERP should be simple use and also provide the agility you need to expand business. Choosing the right solution is very crucial for any organisation as ERP implementations are not only risky and complex, the perceived failure rates are also very high.
A research done by Gartner points out that "an estimated 20% to 25% of ERP projects fail outright (late and/or over budget, failed to deliver any benefits, or abandoned). A further 50% to 60% are perceived as having failed because they are considered compromised by the organization in some way.
Though Microsoft Dynamics offers a wide range of ERPs catering to various business needs, Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics AX are more popular and choosing between them requires good understanding about the business needs and goals.
Both Dynamics NAV and Dynamics AX are highly customizable, flexible and offer high scalability for the businesses that are operating from one centralized or multiple decentralized locations.
The primary aim of this article is to shed some light on how both the applications differ from each other in terms of functionality and technology. This ready reckoner can be a good starting point to understand how these robust applications can solve your business problems.

Not all investors are the same. They are motivated by different needs and drivers, they research differently and buy differently.
Using investor personas to research, segment, and understand the needs of each investor and influencer group is a powerful way to be sure you create content that speaks directly to each of them increasing the chances of turning strangers into shareholders.
So What Is An Investor Persona?
Investor personas are research-based representations of whom investors are, what they are trying to accomplish, what goals drive their behavior, how they think, how they buy, and why they buy.
Each persona represents a different segment of investors and influencers you would like to attract. (ie Institutional investors, retail investors, specialty investors, media & influencers). Investor personas help you understand each segment of investors better, and make it easier for you to tailor content to the specific needs, behaviors, and concerns of each group.
Why Do I Need Investor Personas?
Because personas help you gain a deeper understanding of each segment of investors and their buying behaviors. Personas give a name, face, and narrative to the "investor" for whom you want to attract and think about it, if you don't know who you're writing and designing for, how effective can you be reaching them?

What male body language attracts women?
Females apparently are the choosier sex in courtship contexts, but there still is limited information about female selection criteria in real courtship settings. Given that a female knows little about a heretofore unacquainted male, upon what dimensions can (and do) females base their initial courtship decisions? Here, we report findings from observational studies that investigated male nonverbal behavior in a bar context. Study 1 documented the body movements of males prior to making contact with a female. It was found that males who successfully made "contact" courtship initiation with females exhibited different body language in this precontact phase than did males who did not make contact with females, including significantly more glancing behaviors, space-maximization movements, intrasexual touching, and less closed-body movements. The findings from a second within-subject study comparing the behavior of men in a bar when women were present or not present supported the initial study's findings and showed that males' emphasis on these behaviors increases in a mate-relevant context. We suggest that certain aspects of male nonverbal behavior in courtship contexts can serve as self-presentation and mate-value signals.

CORTLAND — Four months into his time with the Jets, Tim Tebow's role has been discussed, dissected and deconstructed. One thing it hasn't been: divulged.
Ask the Jets coaches about how Tebow will be used, and prepare for a non-answer. Even the Jets players remain in the dark about exactly how the team plans to use Tebow on offense. Tebow only has played traditional quarterback during practices open to the media or public in the spring and the first two days here.
Asked yesterday about the Wildcat formation Tebow is expected to be used in, offensive coordinator Tony Sparano played coy.
"Assuming that you think that we have it," Sparano said with a smile. "This is not my first rodeo."
The Jets worked briefly on some of the Wildcat plays for Tebow during organized team activities in the spring. But the offensive players remain unsure of just what Sparano's plans are.
"We have somewhat of an idea, but Tony and those guys are not really coming fully out with what they're going to do with Tebow," tackle Wayne Hunter said. "They're keeping it under wraps."
During the regular season the media only is permitted to watch the first 30 minutes of practice, so teams have plenty of time to work on plays they don't want reporters to see. It's trickier during training camp, when all of practice is open to the media. The Jets do have "walk-through" sessions that are closed.
Jets coach Rex Ryan said he expects the team to work on the Tebow packages some time in camp, but said he was not 100 percent sure about that.
"Clearly we're going to run some Wildcat," Ryan said. "We will have some of those times when Tony has it scripted. We know that's going to be part of what we do offensively."
There also is a thought the Jets might not use the Wildcat in practice at all in camp and wait until the week before the season opener against the Bills to work on it. That will be after the final roster cuts are made to and guard against players currently on the bottom of the roster revealing the Jets' plans if they are released and picked up by another team such as the Patriots.
"That could be," Hunter said. "That would be paranoia. Every team does pick up 'scouts,' though."
Tebow has been as evasive as the coaches when asked about his role. He turns any question about it into an answer about how he's just working to improve. Tebow did say he has not thought about how many snaps he will get.
"I don't have any preconceived notions of anything," he said upon his arrival in Cortland.
Tight end Dustin Keller said he believes the offense won't have trouble picking up whatever is added for Tebow. The Jets also used Wildcat in the past with Brad Smith and last year with Jeremy Kerley and Shonn Greene, so nearly everyone on the offense is familiar with the scheme.
"I think we have a lot of smart guys in this offense that pick things up fast," Keller said. "Everybody's been in some type of Wildcat offense before. So I think it will come fast. As we get deeper into training camp, I'm sure we're going to start practicing those things. I know Sparano is going to play to everybody's strength and obviously, that is [Tebow's]."
For now, Sparano is not tipping his hand.
"What we're trying to do here every single day is to work as hard as we can on continuing the progress with Tim at the quarterback position," Sparano said. "I'll worry about any of that other stuff."

June 3, 2011 - Research presented at the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry Congress and Laboratory Medicine showed that using a lower diagnostic threshold for troponin improves clinical outcomes and patient survival in patients with suspected acute coronary syndromes. Troponin is a protein found inside heart cells that is released when they are damaged by ischemia or reduced blood supply.
Cardiac troponin is regarded by clinicians as one of the most specific biochemical markers for myocardial tissue injury, and the latest generation of more sensitive assays can identify patients with very small heart attacks. By improving the ability to accurately triage patients presenting with chest pain, the use of sensitive troponin assays could provide physicians with important information to help reduce patient deaths.
The diagnostic threshold used during the validation phase was 0.2 ng/mL. During the implementation phase, the diagnostic threshold was lowered to 0.05 ng/mL. The 2,092 patients with suspected ACS who presented at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh were stratified in three groups (troponin During the validation phase, 39 percent of patients with troponin concentrations of 0.05 to 0.19 ng/mL died or were readmitted with myocardial infarction (MI) at one year. In contrast, only 21 percent of patients with troponin concentrations of 0.05 to 0.19 died or had a recurrent MI during the implementation phase. Lowering the diagnostic threshold resulted in more referrals to specialists and better treatment, explaining the improvement in clinical outcomes in these patients.
Nicolas Mills, M.D., Ph.D., a cardiologist at the British Heart Foundation Centre for Cardiovascular Science, and Simon Walker, M.D., Ph.D., a senior lecturer and consultant in the Department of Clinical Biochemistry at Edinburgh University, presented data from their study at a workshop sponsored by Abbott. The session, titled "The Importance of Biomarkers in Optimizing the Treatment of Patients with Heart and Kidney Disease," reviewed findings that were published in The Journal of the American Medical Association on March 23. The research shows using a lower diagnostic threshold can improve the early diagnosis of MI by giving physicians important information to reduce the risk of death and admissions for recurrent myocardial infarction in high-risk patients. Mills and Walker used the Architect Stat Troponin-I assay to explore the clinical benefits of lowering the diagnostic threshold for detecting cardiac troponin.
"In patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome, the more sensitive threshold for troponin testing increased detection of MI by 29 percent. It also identified patients at high risk for recurrent MI and death who would benefit from access to evidenced-based therapies for MI," said Mills. "As a result, the data shows more sensitive troponin assays can improve cardiac patient management by identifying important information for physicians, and, most importantly, save lives."
Abbott's fully automated troponin assay operates on the Architect system, which enables laboratories to perform a broad menu of tests with optimal ease and efficiency. The Architect Stat Troponin-I assay is in available in some countries outside the United States.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Duck357 from Disappointed Like the boots, have had this style before, and same size but this pair the size is not the same, actually smaller. Would need at least 1 size bigger. Would not buy on line again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by tbag from Useless for construction Had two pairs of these boots over 3 months. They are decently comfortable for rubber boots and seem to be at a good price. I'm sure they would be fine for easy use but they are useless in the construction field. Cracks start developing rapidly, in and around the toe, and the boot begins filling with water. Very disappointed with Baffin and these boots.

Rated 2 out of 5 by 10002349 from Just ok I work at a fish plant wear these boot daily they last for 6 months then a crack develops in the arch. I contacted Baffin but they just gave me the run around. Defiantly would recommend buy a boot from a different company but if these are your last resort.

Rated 4 out of 5 by aspoyster from You won't find a better boot for less money. I wear these boots daily for working with shellfish. They are a great length for wading and walking in shallow water for getting your boat back on the trailer. These boots wear like iron and are as comfortable as sneakers. I've had 3 pairs so far and will keep using them as long as they are available. The ones I've replaced were punctured or ripped on the bottom from stepping on sharp objects. The steel shank and toes have come in handy to keep me safe. Lots of guys I work with buy more expensive boots that do not out perform these boots from Baffin. If I'm going to blow out a pair of boots I'd rather be paying half the price of the next nearest competing boots.
Date published: 2014-10-19
Rated 2 out of 5 by Ausname7 from Cracked above the arch I used the boots once or twice for work on a rig, and otherwise used them for walking in tundra and shallow streams. In less than a few weeks of use, a crack developed in the centre of the right boot above the arch. Otherwise, the boots feel natural enough when walking and they protect a greater part the leg.

BA/MS 5 year Program with BA Physics/Chemical Physics at College of Wooster and MS Polymer Engineering at UA
The Program
The "5-year BA/MS Program at The University of Akron with BA Physics/Chemical Physics at The College of Wooster and MS Polymer Engineering at UA" is an accelerated BA/MS program which involves initial completion of 3 years of BA course-work in Physics/Chemical Physics at The College of Wooster, followed by 2 years of undergraduate and graduate course-work, along with graduate thesis work at the Polymer Engineering Department of The University of Akron (UA). The College of Wooster will award a BA degree in Physics/Chemical Physics to the students of this program after the completion of the 4th year of course work at UA. Students will receive a tuition waiver for graduate courses taken at UA in years 4 and 5, and will be eligible to receive stipends in their 5th year similar to other graduate students in Polymer Engineering, when they are registered for at least nine graduate credits.
A 5-year program for UA physics students will soon be offered.
Who Should Apply?
Outstanding physics and chemistry majors who want to earn both their bachelor's and master's degree in five years.
Why Should I Be Interested?
The obvious advantage is that you will earn both your BA and MS degrees in 5 years, but numerous other compelling reasons also exist. You will be attending classes with equally committed and motivated peers. The quality of students in this program should make it a top choice among recruiters. You will receive professional and academic guidance from faculty members within The College of Wooster as well as the Department of Polymer Engineering at UA. This will also be a great opportunity to experience graduate research first hand and will serve as an opportune starting point for continuing on to a Ph.D. degree.
What are the Admission Requirements?
Because the number of students admitted to the program will be limited, admission into this program is not guaranteed. Students will be admitted to the MS program at UA after completing 3 years of BA at The College of Wooster. Students intending to enroll in the BA/MS program will consult the faculty counselors both at The College of Wooster and at UA during their study at The College of Wooster. The Graduate School at UA will handle their admission using a special category, and the admissions committee of the Department of Polymer Engineering will evaluate the applications of potential BA/MS students in their 3rd year. The MS degree in Polymer Engineering is awarded at the completion of the 5th year, when the MS degree requirements of Polymer Engineering Department are successfully completed.
When Do I Apply?
Students interested in this program, should consult with the 3-2 Engineering adviser at The College of Wooster as early in their first year as possible in order to get the guidance needed for their academic plan. Students who intend to pursue the 5-year BA/MS dual degree program may complete the senior year at The College of Wooster in absentia and should apply in writing to the Dean for Curriculum and Academic Engagement by the end of the second semester of the sophomore year and must receive the recommendation of the major department. Once approved, the student will be given pre-admission status in the program. The student will also be added to the BS/MS mailing list and will receive updates about the program and invitations to attend information sessions and informal gatherings. The student's academic performance will be monitored closely and will receive guidance from advisors at both The College of Wooster and UA. The students in this program will be expected to attend school on a full-time basis and there is little flexibility in the scheduling of the necessary courses in order to graduate within the five year period. Therefore, it is important to get guidance as soon as possible.
When Can I Be Formally Admitted to the Program?
To receive official acceptance into the program, in addition to satisfying the admission requirements outlined above, students must also provide two letters of recommendation from the College of Wooster faculty and apply to and be accepted into the Graduate School before the start of their senior year. Once accepted into the program, students must earn and maintain a 3.0 or better GPA to stay in the program. Students who are not able to do so will complete the regular bachelor's program instead of the accelerated BS/MS program.
How Can I Obtain more Information About the Program?
For more information contact Dr. Sadhan Jana at email@example.com or call 330-972-8293, or Susan Lehman at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 330-263-2214.

The sort of information we are gathering is designed to give us as complete picture a possible of the pregnancy and of the teatment and progress of your baby in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Only a small number of people have access to this information. There is no way that you or your baby will be identifiable in any reports or presentations we make about this audit. In an effort to improve patient care nationally, de-identified NICUS data is contributed to the Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network (ANZNN) Data Collection.
For such a system to be accurate and reliable it is vital that every eligible baby in NSW and ACT is included.

Recent Research Studies
Australian Placental Transfusion Study - APTS
The Australian Placental Transfusion Study compares two ways of cord clamping for babies < 30 weeks. The first is standard practice - clamping the umbilical cord at birth immediately so that care of the baby and delivery of the placenta (the third stage of labour) can start straight away. The second is to let the baby get extra blood by holding the baby below the level of the placenta and waiting for a minute or more before clamping the cord. This is called placental transfusion. Placental transfusion may help preterm babies by preventing anaemia and improving low blood flow. This may reduce bleeding in the brain, lung and gut problems, infections and need for blood transfusions.
LIFT study
Human lactoferrin is a protein in breast milk which helps protect against infection. Bovine lactoferrin is a dairy protein in cow's milk and a normal part of our diet. This is a randomised study aims to investigate if adding Bovine lactoferrin to babies' milk can increase survival free from infection and other complications in very low birth weight babies. Babies less than 1500gms are eligible for the study, they are then randomised to either receive or not receive lactoferrin until 34 weeks. Study researchers will then compare short and long term outcomes of both groups.
Central Blood Flow Measurements in Preterm Neonates
Central blood flow (CBF) measurements are measurements of blood flow into and out of the heart. CBF measurements are a more accurate measure of your baby's circulation compared to heart rate, colour and blood pressure. These measurements can be done using ultrasound. We do not know the normal numbers for CBF measurements after 2 weeks of life in preterm babies, so this study is to find out what their normal CBF measurements are and how they change during disease states. We wish to measure CBF in premature babies born before 30 weeks gestation. It involves ultrasounds of the heart on day 14, day 28 and at 36 weeks corrected gestation or just before leaving the nursery. We will also collect any relevant clinical, ultrasonography and blood results data during the baby's admission to the NICU.
Paracetamol Duct Action - PDA TRIAL
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) occurs in 20% in preterm infants greater than 32 weeks gestation and up to 60% in those less than 28 weeks gestation. At present there are a number of different ways to treat a duct both medical and surgical. A recent abstract publication described a case series of five infants who appeared to have spontaneous late PDA closure following the use of paracetamol for unrelated indications. Paracetamol is a commonly used medication in infants with a relatively benign side effect profile, so if found to be efficacious, could provide a useful alternative for treatment of a PDA with some persisting clinical effects. The aim of this study is to determine whether oral paracetamol is a safe and effective treatment for a prolonged PDA in premature babies.

Greenwood Plantation in the Red Hills region of southwest Georgia includes a rare one-thousand-acre stand of old-growth longleaf pine woodlands, a remnant of an ecosystem that once covered close to ninety million acres across the Southeast. The Art of Managing Longleaf documents the sometimes controversial management system that not only has protected Greenwood's "Big Woods" but also has been practiced on a substantial acreage of the remnant longleaf pine woodlands in the Red Hills and other parts of the Coastal Plain. Often described as an art informed by science, the Stoddard-Neel Approach combines frequent prescribed burning, highly selective logging, a commitment to a particular woodland aesthetic, intimate knowledge of the ecosystem and its processes, and other strategies to manage the longleaf pine ecosystem in a sustainable way.
The namesakes of this method are Herbert Stoddard (who developed it) and his colleague and successor, Leon Neel (who has refined it). In addition to presenting a detailed, illustrated outline of the Stoddard-Neal Approach, the book--based upon an extensive oral history project undertaken by Paul S. Sutter and Albert G. Way, with Neel as its major subject--discusses Neel's deep familial and cultural roots in the Red Hills; his years of work with Stoddard; and the formation and early years of the Tall Timbers Research Station, which Stoddard and Neel helped found in the pinelands near Tallahassee, Florida, in 1958. In their introduction, environmental historians Sutter and Way provide an overview of the longleaf ecosystem's natural and human history, and in his afterword, forest ecologist Jerry F. Franklin affirms the value of the Stoddard-Neel Approach.
I have been waiting a long time for this book. And it's even more beautiful and useful than I ever imagined. Within this crucial, revolutionary volume can be found many trails through wild forest, all leading to a grander future. A problem as vast and appalling as clear-cutting needs a brilliant solution, and here it is, from the forester who perfected it. Leon Neel has been my hero since I heard about him, and now Sutter and Way have my deepest gratitude. I call landowners and timber managers everywhere, and anyone else who cares about a piece of land, to read this book. This is not an oxymoron--you can cut a forest and, at the same time, save it too!
- Janisse Ray, author of "Ecology of a Cracker Childhood"
"Herbert Stoddard and his acolyte Leon Neel made a revolution in forestry among the longleaf pines of Georgia's Red Hills. More than applied scientists, they were artists and designers of genius, makers of ecologically balanced landscapes that were also gorgeous parks and hunters' paradises. Now Paul Sutter, Bert Way, and especially Neel, himself, bring us the comprehensive narrative, which is not only enlightening but irresistably charming." - Jack Temple Kirby, author of "Mockingbird Song: Ecological Landscapes of the South"
"This warm and fine personal look at the legendary forest management practices of Herbert Stoddard and Leon Neel will appeal to a variety of readers. Foresters and landowners will profit from its detailed descriptions of the Stoddard-Neel approach to managing forests, one based on old-fashioned woodsmanship, a deep familiarity with longleaf pine forests and a primary concern with the sustainability of the forest ecosystem. Neel s stories and recollections of growing up in the Piney Woods are pleasurable in and of themselves, and they will reward anyone interested in the South and in Southern folkways."
- Lawrence S. Earley, author of "Looking for Longleaf: The Fall and Rise of an American Forest"

The Seamen's Church Institute (SCI) has always strived to promote the welfare of maritime workers. The market crash of 1929 hurt the maritime industry much as it did other industries across the United States. Even with the help of charitable organizations like SCI, seafarers faced unemployment and homelessness and struggled to find a way to survive.
Working conditions for seafarers had deteriorated throughout the 1920s and only got worse as the Great Depression set in. Skilled mariners were in high demand during World War I, and they secured steady wages, good living conditions and job security from shipowners. When wartime contracts ended in 1921, shipowners gave immediate notices of wage cuts. The International Seamen's Union, strong and active at the beginning of the century, stumbled administratively in the early 1920s and was unable to strike successfully against the cuts.
By 1929, very few seafarers maintained an active association with a labor union. Shipowners lowered wages and cut meals, driving men to work longer shifts with smaller living quarters. As life on board ship became unbearable, many men went in search of better jobs. Fewer vessels went out to sea, leaving maritime workers homeless and without money, as most received only enough wages to get by until the next ship came in. Moreover, shipping companies set up blacklists with the names of deserters, making it increasingly difficult for men to get decent work. Organizations like SCI, the Jane Street Mission, and the Seamen's Christian Friend Society found themselves overwhelmed with the number of seafarers seeking relief.
The period of the early 1930s saw seafarers—along with workers in all industries—organize into unions to fight for better working conditions. On the New York waterfront, the Marine Transport Workers of the International Workers of the World, the Marine Workers Industrial Union (MWIU) of the Communist Party, and various local Unemployed Councils sprang into action, calling on maritime workers to rally together.
SCI gathered flyers and other print material from groups active on the NYC waterfront, seeking to understand the needs of seafarers and create a record of their struggles. As part of my graduate studies at Queens College, I delved into SCI's archives to create the exhibit Labor Struggles on New York's Waterfront: A Visual History, selecting documents that show how maritime workers used print media to spread their message.

Here is another craft from yesteryear.
Back when LM was just a wee little one, I found an idea on Family Fun to make rain sticks. They turned out to be really fun, both to make and to play with. We decorated ours with pieces of scrapbook paper and ribbon. But they could also be painted, colored, etc. For more instructions on how to make them, go here:

While on a typical commercial assignment, James, a retired golf caddie, started belting out a simple blues rendition of the song Stardust… High up in the sky the little stars climb, always reminding me that we're apart… a favorite tune of his late wife. James was not a musician by trade, but his soulful interpretation of the melody overcame the shakiness of his pitch. James' delivery was innate. The emotional connection created while taking this portrait stirred my desire to continue with a series. Today, I've photographed over thirty like-souls in a series I call "Music Makers"." – Jimmy Williams

When: Fri., June 29, 9 p.m. 2012
Swaying from angular slashes to wavy rings, The Spacemen capture sounds from the cosmos. Often absent the pressure of vocals, the Raleigh prog-leaners land softly on new experimental terrains. Had Ian Curtis been revived on the dark side of whatever planet you prefer, he might have been like Nathan White, singer of the garage psychedelic outfit The Evil Tenors. They are too romantic to be punks, but they bound with an energy that's certainly reminiscent of the word. Perhaps The Spacemen best encapsulate the double bill with their own credo: "We have finally lost our fucking minds." —James Hatfield

Snow shoveling tour offered to Japanese city dwellers
Shoveling snow is a drag. But not to everybody, apparently, according to the hopes of a tour company that organized quite an expensive snow shoveling tour for city-dwellers in Japan. "Why don't you sign up for the snow shoveling party?" is an actual question in actual ad.
Akiota, a town in western Hiroshima Prefecture, has only 7000 residents, and a staggering 47% of those are elderly. And every winter, when Akiota gets tons of snowfall, there are not enough people to shovel the snow. So what's a town to do when the snow just keeps piling up? Get your local sightseeing association to organize and promote a snow shoveling tour, of course!
For only 5000 yen, or about 42 dollars, you and your friends can go on the "Heavy Snow Region Experience Tour." That's right. Because if you're born and raised in a big city, and especially one that doesn't get that much snow, when are you ever going to be able to experience what it's like to live in a snowy little town in the mountains? The fee includes transportation, lunch, insurance, shoveling gear, and a trip to the local hot spring after the valuable shoveling experience. The tour has three components, according to the ad. "Assistance with problem solving in the mountainous town, heavy snow experience, which most urban dwellers never experience in their daily lives, and hands-on experience with local people living in a snowy region of Japan." Sounds awesome!
Watch Seo In Guk and Shin Sung Rok use face reading to place a rightful king on the throne in The King's Face:
The ad continues. "You can experience real excitement in Aki-ota, where the original atmosphere of Japan still remains! Come savor the sensation with us!!"
Now pick up your shovels and get to work.
English advertisement: http://www.akioota-navi.jp/text/snow%20shoveling%2...
You only have to pay 5000 yen to do this!
