Who remembers the game "dead-and-injured"? I don't remember what the real name is.
I have been playing the game with my colleague on paper and I decided to experiment it on IOS just to put everything I have been learning and reading into good use.
What in this life is dead-and-injured?
It is played between two players. Both players have their secret numbers. The secret numbers are picked by following these rules:
Therefore, 3456 is VALID. 3436 is INVALID because 3 is repeated.
Player A tries to decode the player B's secret number by using the player's responses to guess the next set of digits. The response is in the format described below:
|When digits of the guessed number exactly match the digits of the secret number i.e the same positions
|When digits of the guessed number exist in the secret number but the positions don't match
For example, my secret number is 5678.
The following guesses will give the corresponding responses.
|0 dead, 0 injured
|2 injured, 0 dead
|0 dead, 2 injured
|All dead
As simple as the game appears, it needs logic and reasoning to be able to crack the secret number in few steps.
You can find the demo of the IOS app in the video below. Source code can be made available on request.
Shout out to Adeyinka. He worked on the UI while we both worked on the logic.
PS: I forgot to demo the part where the validation of the numbers was done.

Information requested on Red - Dot Test for HIV 1 & 2
Aug 4, 2001
Dear Doctor, I am seeking some information on a HIV test called Red Dot HIV 1 & 2 . It is a rapid room temperature test for HIV 1 & 2 antibodies . It is manufactured by Cal Test Diagnostics, Chino , California. The brochure also mentions Gold Colloidal conjugate membrane for HIV 1 & 2 antibodies and that it is a screening test.
This is not an academic query I write from a place where being HIV positive has very, very serious consequences and most secret tests are performed using the above HIV test.
My specific queries are:
1. As per my doctor, there has been one instance when this test repeatedly showed a mild reactivity but ELISA on the same serum came back negative. So is this test more sensitive than ELISA ?
2. If not, from your experience, can you offer any explanation / information about this tests reliability or this kind of occurrence ?
3. I do not live in USA and despite my all attempts ( searching the WEB, talking to the local suppliers , etc ) , I am unable to find contact details of the firm ( Cal Test Diagnostics, Chino, California ) that makes these tests. Even their brochures does not have any contact details! You are from USA would you have any idea of their contact details ( their phone number for International callers ) ? I and my doctor need to contact them to have a better understanding of this test .
I am sure you can understand the frustration and tension when a person has mild reactivity on Red Dot test , then the same serum tests negative on ELISA then to resolve this , one ends up doing a western blot ( on same serum ) which ends up being indeterminate.
Response from Dr. Holodniy
The company had been sent a warning letter from the US FDA about the performance of this assay. Buyer beware as to the validity of the results.

Welcome to our new series, InstaTrend where we break down the beauty trends burning up your Instagram feed. First up, metallic lips. They're everywhere. We scrolled through the Insta-sphere and found a slew of striking, silvery reflective looks. It may sound intimidating, but you can make the metallic look as subtle or vibrant as you like.
How to wear it: This fun, frosted look is a nice break from the matte lipsticks we love. To keep the look wearable, pair it with soft, subtle eye makeup. Also, exfoliate and moisturize your lips first for perfect application. These vibrant hues tend to highlight every crease and wrinkle on your lips so the smoother the better.
When to wear it: This look is bold and probably won't be your go-to for day wear, but there's always room to spice up your beauty routine when the sun goes down. Festivals, special occasions, nights out on the town—they're all perfect opportunities to rock this fun look.
Ahead is a little Insta-spiration to get you psyched to shine on your own time:
The newest shade, 'Majesty,' from King Kylie's metal matte collection is a black metallic matte with blue undertones.
This Sigma Insta post features the Stamina Power Stick for a royal purple affair. It's incredibly pigmented and has a nice, satin finish.
A more subtle approach to the metallic lip, MAC's 'Blankety' lipstick offers a glossy finish for nude lips.
Insta-Tip: One thing all of these posts have in common? Matte face and eye makeup. The key to playing up your lips is to keep the rest of your face fresh and shine-free to avoid an overload of face shimmer.
Recommended metallic lipsticks on Influenster:
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar-Metallic Authentic | Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar Collection | Milani Lip Color | NYX Cosmetics Wicked Lip
A video of makeup artist Ashley Rosales applying metallic lip gloss has gone viral:
The Woman's World shared this video of makeup artist Ashley Rosales applying metallic lipstick and it's gone completely viral, with more than a million views! In the video, Rosales dips an Artis lip brush into each color before glossing her lips. It's pretty addicting to watch. To get the look, you can get the Ashley's Lip Stax set (vegan and cruelty-free!) for $45 on the Who Is She Cosmetics website.
Have you tried this new trend yet? Any thoughts on it? Let us know in the comments! Head to the Influenster website for more!
Lots of Love!

Garrett Family Preserve at Cape Island Creek
Open to the Public
Things To Do
Get Directions
Cape Island Creek Preserve, 180 acres of upland forest, farm fields and tidal marsh and part of the watershed that includes the Conservancy's noted South Cape May Meadows Preserve, was originally slated for development.
- CLICK HERE to see a slideshow of the many species who make their home on the preserve.
Acquired by the Conservancy in 2000, the preserve offered an unusual opportunity to manage a significant piece of land for migratory songbirds, whose stopover habitat, especially at the southern tip of the peninsula, has been all but wiped out.
In 2013, the generosity of the Garrett family enabled The Nature Conservancy to further protect Cape Island Creek for future generations by acquiring crucial land, improving and stewarding habitat, performing coastal research and installing enhanced visitor amenities.
With its expansive native wildflower meadows, successional fields and taller tree lines, the preserve is a haven for migrating songbirds, raptors, and pollinators like bumblebees and monarch butterflies. The saltwater tidal marsh is a nursery for many fish species, a place where shorebirds can forage and fiddler crabs make their homes. The Nature Conservancy has added many people-friendly amenities including a picnic pavilion, bird blind and artists' easels, to make the visitor experience enjoyable.
VIDEO: An aerial tour of Cape Island Creek's wildflowers.
Meet a few of the inhabitants of the Garrett Family Preserve at Cape Island Creek.
Cape Island Creek is home to over 4 miles of scenic trails, where visitors can enjoy amenities including a picnic pavilion, bird blind and artists' easels.
What to See
The Conservancy has planted native shrubs, fruit-bearing tree islands and wildflowers, and maintains the formerly overgrown fields in an early successional state which maximizes the benefits for wildlife, especially native and migratory birds.
- Check out the tall trees at the fields' edges--they provide hunting perches for raptors like the Red-Tailed Hawk, Cooper's Hawk and Great Horned Owl.
- The Yellow-Rumped Warbler and Eastern Meadowlark are just two of the species that make use of the native, berry-producing trees and shrubs, like black cherry, hackberry and flowering dogwood.
- Bird species such as the American Woodcock and American Goldfinch use the preserve's fields and meadow habitat for feeding, camouflage, singing and nesting.
- The salt marsh habitat attracts wading birds and raptors such as Osprey and Northern Harriers that need a steady diet of fish and other aquatic invertebrates.
Native pollinators, such as bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, rely on the pollinator-friendly flowers and grasses planted here at the preserve.
- Look for common milkweed, wild bergamot, showy goldenrod, purple coneflower, giant sunflower and mistflower
The salt marsh at Cape Island Creek is ever-changing, as water flows in and out during the daily tidal cycles. The frequency and level of tidal flooding divides the salt marsh into three distinct zones each with different plants and animals: high marsh, low marsh, and mudflat.
- High Marsh: Watch where you step around the marsh—busy Fiddler Crabs could be underfoot! These active crustaceans scurry from their upland burrows to muddy areas to feed on microorganisms that live on the outside of sand grains.
- Low Marsh: This habitat is partially flooded with salt water except during low tides, and its protected shallows are a haven for young fish, crabs and shrimp.
- Mudflat and Tidal Creeks: In the area where the mudflat meets the lowland, Ribbed Mussels attach to each other and to the base of the grasses. They help to stabilize the marsh and filter water. Shorebirds like Sandpipers will gather on the mudflat to probe below its surface for food like worms and small clams.
Preserve Guidelines
- Open dawn to dusk
- Bicyclers please yield to walkers
- No motor vehicles allowed
- Please carry out what you carry in

Reese Witherspoon Walks for Breast Cancer
Reese Witherspoon, Avon Global Ambassador and Honorary Chair of the Avon Foundation, joins walkers at the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Washington, D.C. on Sunday. The weekend-long event attracted 3,500 participants who raised $8.1 million.
Here's what Reese, 32, had to say at the event:
On her kids Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4: "[They have] always kind of known me to be who I was, and if people know Mom at the grocery store, I think they kind of like it. Obviously, if you're not having the greatest day, it's not always easy, but for the most part, (fame) brings a lot of positive things into our life."
On her role as an Avon ambassador: "I've always been very focused on creating positive images and doing things to give back to women."
On her Four Christmases co-star Vince Vaughn: "He's great! He's so funny. We had a great time riffing off each other. Sometimes I would just cry from laughing so hard."
On her daughter Ava: "She has a very giving spirit, so it's great to encourage that. There's a great responsibility to educate your children and show them what's important in life, which includes giving back."
On why she participated in this event: "I am very excited to be partnering with the Avon Foundation and to help them continue to affect real change. I feel a great responsibility in my own life to give back to society. As the Honorary Chairman of the Avon Foundation, one of my first experiences last year was to meet Avon Walk walkers at a training walk in Los Angeles. Now I am proud to support the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer here in Washington, D.C. and hope my presence can in some measure express my deep appreciation for all the women and men who participate in the Avon Walks, and for all of the people who dedicate their lives to breast cancer research and care."

Here is Trauma Star transporting a patient from a moped-vehicle
crash which occurred on Big Pine Key May 1st at Although the
97 year old patient was relayed to a
an hour, I understand he unfortunately died from his injuries.
Hurricane season is quickly approaching. Between now and June 1st, you should be receiving two documents which you need to act upon as soon as possible. The first is a request for a salary advance should a hurricane approach the Keys. We give a $400.00 cash advance on your salary for evacuation assistance should you or your family need to leave the Keys when a hurricane evacuation is ordered. You need to let the Finance Department know ahead of time if you wish to be included on the list of people who would like this advance.
The second document you must act upon is a form requesting exemption from hurricane duty. As you know, all certified personnel are required to remain on duty in the event of a hurricane. However, if there are extenuating circumstances, the MCSO will consider a request for exemption from this Hurricane Duty requirement.
Extenuating circumstances may include, but are not limited to the following: single parent households, primary caregivers for elderly parents and households in which both spouses are certified officers employed by the MCSO.
Supervisors have been provided with an official
Request for Exemption from Hurricane Duty form which must be completed and
returned to the Human Resources Division no
later than
You need to make these decisions as soon as possible. Don't wait for a hurricane to approach the Keys before requesting an advance or an exemption. By then, it will be too late.
Police Memorial Day is coming in May. This year, we
will be observing it a week later than usual, on May 24th. I hope
you will all try to attend one of the two ceremonies being held in the Keys; in
Budget time is coming. This year, we are committed
to asking the
Question 1:Off duty details are the only chance most road patrol deputies have to make a little extra money, since there is virtually no overtime for these officers available. Don't you think it is inappropriate, therefore, for a Captain to be signing up for these details, not only in his own sectors, but in other people's sectors as well? I can understand him filling a detail at the last minute if no one else signed up for it, but he is signing up for details weeks in advance in some cases, and taking spots which other, much lower paid deputies would like to have.
Perhaps we could re-write the off duty detail GO to reflect who gets first priority when signing up, like road patrol gets first crack, then sgt.s, then lt.s, then capt.s…after that would come reserves, etc. I know there has been a lot of talk about this, and many deputies resent missing out on the slots he is signing up for.
Answered by Colonel McDonald: Our policy is that patrolmen get first crack, then Sergeants, Lieutenants, Captains and Reserves. In checking with the details that have been worked by the Captain, I have learned that the Captain has only taken these details after they have been refused by lower ranking officers and that is consistent with our policy.
Question 2: We have a member who will shortly be leaving the agency and who will be paid out a portion of his/her sick time. This member would like to donate the remainder of his/her time to the sick pool. In the past, this hasn't been allowed…it's a good idea, but will also ultimately cost the agency money. Can the Administration re-look at this issue?
Answered by Sheriff Rick Roth: State Statute allows the payment of 25 % when an individual retires and if, in fact, they wanted to give away the 75%, they would no longer have the 25 % to get paid for. The forfeiture of the 75 % is what helps us fund the 25%.
Our policy mirrors State Statute for State employees. Allowing people to donate sick time would require us to fund the balance at 100% and from a budgetary prospective this is not possible.

I am charged with the task of writing this month's
rap sheet article since my lieutenant has chosen instead to take a Harley trip
Our loss is Special Operations gain (again) as Deputy Todd Wyatt moves on to fill Jason Madnick's position. At least the work will keep Todd up here where I can nag him occasionally, and at least his reassignment gets Al Ramirez off my back (speaking of nagging!) Just kidding, Al, I know the 'gentle' reminders to me were an effort to insure you'd be able to keep up the great work you've been doing. We're all for that.
We've also received word formally that Pete Johnston
will be retiring in July. I don't blame
him for one minute, given the fact that his wife has already set up their home
Pete's replacement will be Sgt. David Stark, whom we gleefully stole from Sector 6. Congratulations Dave, we're looking forward to working with you, if Joe ever lets you go.
Message to Dillon Corr: If you're going to come up with an excuse as to why you have a black eye, could you do better than "I hit myself in the eye with a cast net." So lame….
I'd like to recognize and thank the Migala family
(three-fourths of them, anyway). Captain
Ted Migala heads our Reserve program and covers for us on the road in addition
to spending many hours in CIU. His wife
Mary Jo volunteers in Records a couple of times a week, which is a great bonus
for us, and daughter Laura is a full time deputy. We're just missing daughter Mary Beth, who
works as a massage therapist in
This month I'd also like to mention Deputy Sever
Hustad for recognizing what could have turned out to be a very serious problem,
and Sgt. Don Fanelli for solving the problem.
While on patrol one night Deputy Hustad came upon a group of teenagers
at a
No one doubts that sooner, rather than later, the alcohol in this building would have disappeared, and we would probably be responding to the outcome – a DUI crash or some other incident. This is a great example of problem solving. I encourage every deputy and supervisor to actively seek out those situations and address them so that they don't turn into something worse down the road. Good work!
By Captain Rick Ramsay
I would like to welcome Lt. George Simpson to the Cudjoe Key patrol station. Lt. Simpson is the new station commander here in the lower keys and we are very happy to have him aboard as part of our team. Lt. Simpson has been here for about a month and is blending in well. He hit the ground running and in the short time he's been here, he's proven to be an asset to this station. I have known and worked with Lt. Simpson for fifteen years. During this time we have always worked well together and will continue to do the same in the future.
Deputy Jay Fisher has recently completed the F.T.O. program and is now on his own on patrol. Jay comes from the jail where he was a shift sergeant and brings his years of knowledge to us. We all would like to congratulate him on his new assignment as well as completing the F.T.O. program. I look forward to working with him and seeing his effect on the community.
We have had several major vehicle crashes since the start of our air ambulance program and have found a true need for the Sheriff's Trauma Star Helicopter. I have found the aviation unit to be responsive, dedicated and reliable with very impressive response time. Their quality of service has been an asset to our district and to the Sheriff's Office and I would like to thank the unit for their work and time.

and all of the victim's jewelry and money were taken. The suspects fled in a truck believed to be
headed toward
With this type of violent criminal activity, and with weapons known to be present, this was a very high risk situation that had a lot of potential to go bad real fast. Coordination to ensure the safest possible plan and location to attempt a felony traffic stop was critical and my hat goes off to the officers involved for a great job (Sgt. Hull, Deputies Cuervo, Mimosa, Peteck and F.W.C.)
The stop was attempted at the South Pine Channel bridge, but the suspects continued to flee north onto the North Pine Channel bridge where they started throwing items out of the window into the water, including the gun and gloves used in the crime. They continued north until they saw Deputies Mimosa and Peteck with the road shut down and the spike system deployed at which time the suspects stopped and jumped out of the right side of the truck. Sgt. Hull and Deputy Cuervo did an outstanding job encountering these subjects, one of whom planned to make his escape by jumping into the water -- until he looked over the edge and saw that it was low tide and there was only about two feet to jump into. The officers did a great job securing the suspects and ensuring safety of the public as well as fellow officers.
The truck was reported stolen from
F.W.C. had units on land as well as on the water to assist. F.W.C. recovered the firearm from the water as well as the gloves and were very helpful and professional. One of the suspects was wearing a watch that was taken from the victim of a prior home invasion so hopefully detectives from the City and County will be able to solve a couple of major crimes from this one apprehension and arrest.
This incident went as well as it possibly could have due to the outstanding work of the officers listed, the communications personnel involved, and the tremendous cooperation between them all. I would like to you all for a great job.

Welcome back to Deputy Tricia Milliken who was out injured and is now back with all the energy she had when she went out. Actually she seems to be even more excited to be here-if that is possible. Congratulations to Deputy Dennis Coleman who completed FTO with flying colors and we welcome him to our family on the road. He is a true asset and an excellent officer. We truly enjoy having him with us out there. Congratulations to Deputy Louis Rivera who just started FTO and from everything I am told is doing a tremendous job and displaying all the traits and abilities of a young rising star within our group.
A special "job well done" to Deputy Willie Guerra for the efforts he made to go home and come back in plain clothes to track down a felony domestic violence perpetrator we had been trying to grab-up for weeks. His efforts were brave and determined and I am pleased to have him on our team.
And on the lighter side-Sergeant Sue Morgan has perfected the best way to sidetrack a violator who appears to be priming himself to file a complaint-while he is ranting and raving about how you should be out there catching murderers and rapists instead of harassing him for something as minor as speeding in a SCHOOL ZONE-she just calmly looks up from her ticket book and says "as long as we are going to be standing here for while-I would appreciate it if you would please zip up your pants." Way to go Sue!
And finally-let me update you on our enforcement
efforts here in
· In March we arrested 13 DUIs, wrote 521 tickets, 330 Warnings, arrested 20 Felons, 73 Misdemeanors and served 24 Warrants.
· As of this writing, in the first two weeks of April we have arrested 7 DUIs, written 411 tickets, 223 Warnings, arrested 14 Felons, 44 Misdemeanors and served 22 Warrants.
The energy and dedication of the men and women in
this command continues to impress me and solidifies my opinion that there are
no better out there than what we have in
Well-that's all for now from Metro Marathon-stay safe out there.
AND REMEMBER….. "Warning! You want a warning, sir? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."

Craig will be conducting the newly implemented YES (shoplifters anonymous) program, the first class to be held Sat May 11th. He has arranged for the conference room at Mariners. Craig has trained with the curriculum and he, along with the entire staff, will be receiving further training from the New York Program Office at our next staff meeting on 4/19.
Pursuant to the IDDS program our staff has served, from January 2001 to date 109 children, and we are currently at cap- 43 cases with 4 on the waiting list. We have to date closed out 75 of those children, and of that number we have demonstrated a 74 % success rate.
There was an IDDS providers meeting in
1.The statistical success rate established in the contract was set too high. It was recommended that the bar be lowered.
2. The level of contact in many cases was excessive, and counter productive and needed to be stepped down, an interim step-down policy was put in place.
Both issues will be addressed by assessment teams to come up with more studied responses.
The civil citation program served from January 2001 to date 165 kids in the county. and had a successful completion rate of 85 %. The average of 10+ cases per month countywide should increase substantially given the devotion of a counselor to address specifically civil citations in the middle and upper keys. His promotion of the use of the citation should help raise the awareness of the line deputies of the value of this mechanism to address first and second time misdemeanant delinquent behavior.

Sir, I wanted to bring an investigation to your attention due to the teamwork involved that resulted in the arrest of a sexual predator.
Det. Gedmin received information from several female
juveniles, who attend
On March 2nd, Det. Ryan was shopping in Winn Dixie on Big Pine Key when a subject wanting to know some information about a sex crime approached her. The subject stated that he had information that a boy was trading sex with an adult for drugs. Det. Ryan gave the man her card and told him that she would need to talk with the juvenile male.
Through follow-up investigation, Det. Ryan determined that the male juvenile involved in the sexual activity with the adult was the same male juvenile involved with the case Det. Gedmin had investigated.
Det.s Gedmin and Ryan met with the victim and obtained information about the sexual abuse. They obtained a taped statement about several incidents of Lewd/Lascivious battery and were able to identify the suspect. Carol Johnson (Victim Advocate) was also called in to assist with the family in getting the proper services. They received approval of the now victims mother to have him participate in a controlled call.
Due to the suspect's primary language being Spanish, we received assistance from Deputy C. Williams for translation during the controlled call. The controlled call was made and the victim asked the suspect about the sex and the suspect did not deny the act. Det. Ryan consulted with the SAO and completed a warrant for the suspect. Judge Becker signed the warrant and placed the bond at $100,000.
The next step in the investigation was to interview the suspect and again we needed the assistance of a Spanish-speaking officer. We requested the assistance of Inspector L. Vega and he was authorized to assist with the investigation. On March 7 Det. Ryan, Inspector Vega, Det. Gedmin, and I met on Big Pine Key. Det. Ryan and Insp. Vega met with the suspect at his residence and Det. Gedmin and I remained in the area for back up. The suspect wished to be interviewed away from his residence so he was transported to the Big Pine Key Storefront.
The suspect was interviewed and he first denied the allegation, but when confronted with the controlled call he confessed to all of the incidents with the victim. The suspect was then arrested and transported to corrections.
This case utilized many departments of the Sheriffs
Office (Crimes Against Women and Children, Sector 1 Road Patrol, Victims
Advocate, and Internal Affairs). As a result of this collaborative effort we
were able to get a sexual predator off the streets of

On April 17. 2002 I arrived home only to find police cars all down the street and an ambulance across from my house. A dear friend who had been very ill for a long time had passed away.
I believe these two officers could see the love. concern and worry in our little group because they would come out every once in a while and give us any little update to help ease our minds.

occurred was that we met and gave the report to Sgt. Hull. He responded to our

pleasure to talk to. He filed a report and assigned us a Case Number, but he
also let us know that there probably would not be much that could be done, from
the Keys, as the fraud was committed in
This morning I received a call from Detective Hamilton, who was also very considerate and reassuring, that he would do whatever he could to help, although there is not much to do from the Keys. He also told me not to hesitate to call him if I needed to. He left me his phone number.

I never thought that I would be writing you this letter but a situation occurred last weekend that just made it impossible not to congratulate you on the professionalism of your department. My wife and I are in the process of getting divorced and unfortunately she is pretty bitter and it is becoming an ugly battle. Friday, on the night of the prom, she and my daughter had an incident where I was forced to step in and try to settle a disagreement between them that turned into a disagreement between my wife and myself.
It happened at the home of a mutual friend (where the girls were all together getting dressed up) who ended dup calling your department to escort my wife off the premises as she refused to leave peacefully. Sgt. Schultz and four other officers (I wish I could recall the names now as they were great) arrived on the scene very promptly and soon the matter was in hand. Deputy Jennifer LaScala in particular played a pivotal role in the negotiations and it was primarily by her skill in negotiations and reasoning with a woman who was in no mood to be reasonable, that the matter was settled.
I want to commend you and particularly Deputy LaScala for your professionalism and sensitivity in this domestic situation. I remain very impressed.

When two Florida Sheriffs proposed their idea, their plan to establish a Ranch to help care for troubled boys, not even they could have foreseen, or imagined, the scope their simple dream would eventually become. After all, the intention was to reach a handful of at-risk youth, offer them a safe place to grow, and a home to work through daily problems. They just wanted to stop the spread of juvenile delinquency and neglect.

expansion, the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches is a statewide network of

An elegant affair with lots of shimmer and sparkle is the perfect excuse to break out the good china.
Creative touches make this party look expensive -- but are super cheap. Instead of purchasing a pricey metallic table runner, use an inexpensive silver curtain panel.
Don't worry if you don't have china to match the theme. Casual white plates will work just fine. Just make sure to use gold or silver chargers beneath each place setting.
Ornamental china with hints of silver and gold set the scene for a swanky holiday soiree. Create your own decorative plates by adorning glittering rhinestones to plain plates.
Simple white napkins pop with a matte silver napkin holder.
Choose clear glasses and goblets with a hint of shimmer, such as this fancy, silver-rimmed glass.
Line buffets and drink displays with decorative metallic garlands and metallic votive candleholders.
Tip: Dust bowls of pinecones or modern potpourri decorative balls with gold glitter for some extra decoration.
A quick trip down the holiday decorating aisle is all you'll need to create a chic centerpiece. Here, we used two, 12-inch ornament stands, small ball ornaments (in both matte and shiny gold), silver and gold garland, and a few votive candle holders with a gold foil finish.
If you're using assigned seating, look for silver and gold ball ornament place card holders to match your shimmering centerpiece.

Pilgrim Nuclear and the public's rights to the shoreline – Opinion
By Meg Sheehan
Posted Aug. 15, 2014 @ 2:00 pm
Is Entergy Corporation legally occupying the public shoreline
on Cape Cod Bay? That's the question local residents want
answered. Entergy's Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station occupies
about one mile of prime waterfront in Plymouth, near White
Horse Beach.
Pilgrim is a nuclear power station that makes electricity. Like
all traditional power plants, it heats up water to make steam
to run turbines. Instead of using coal or natural gas, Entergy
uses a nuclear reactor. It takes in about 510 million gallons
per day of sea water, heats it up, then dumps it heated and
polluted back into Cape Cod Bay. Without using water from
our Bay, Pilgrim cannot operate

Kharagpur, India (PRWEB) January 31, 2013
Students from Vinod Gupta School of Management have just begun a social responsibility program, which primarily focuses on the social inclusion of underprivileged kids in economically weaker sections of the society in and around Kharagpur. Conceived in 2007 by students of the class of 2009, Shraddha has been working in collaboration with the Disha Seema Centre, a non-profit organization, which runs the residential school inside the IIT campus for kids from the nearby localities.
Shraddha also did its bit for bringing JOYFEST (The joy of giving week celebrations organized by JAM magazine) to Kharagpur.
The school was founded by Vinod Gupta through The Vinod Gupta Charitable Foundation in 1993 to develop upcoming management professionals and future CEOs who will lead technology-driven and knowledge-based industries. He has donated over $6 million to set up this school.
The school is the foremost B-School in the IIT system and offers both a Masters of Business Administration (MBA), and a Post- Graduate Diploma in Business Management (PGDBM). The two-year MBA program spans four semesters of full-time residency including a six-month internship. The PGDBM program targets working executives in a flexible, non-residential program. Both promote rigorous study through a state-of-the-art infrastructure.
With this vision, the genesis of Shraddha took place.

'Rent' originators inspire current CCM cast at UC
Students get stories from Tony-winning alumnus producer Kevin McCollum, actor Anthony Rapp and AIDS patients
by Deborah Rieselman
February 14, 2011
Gasps, sighs and sniffles are often heard from an audience when viewing the rock opera "Rent," which deals with relationships and AIDS. But gasps came from CCM cast members on Feb. 8 when the students saw Anthony Rapp standing in the doorway of rehearsal. One of the play's leading actors since its workshop beginning in '94, Rapp is even more recognizable from starring in the '05 movie "Rent."
"You could feel this hush fall over the room," said senior Joey DeBenedetto, who plays several roles in the show. When Rapp remarked how hard it was to find the rehearsal hall on campus, the cast decided to make his search worthwhile and ran through the entire first act — under the watchful eye of the man who had originated the character of Mark Cohen.
"It was profoundly moving," said Richard Hess, CCM (M) '93, director of the College-Conservatory of Music's drama program and director of the play, which runs Feb. 24 through March 6. "The students had invited him, and he clearly wanted to be there. Afterward, he gave 20 minutes of notes on how to live in the songs more fully."
The invitation came earlier in the day when Rapp conducted a master class with the "Rent" cast, an event sponsored by the UC Program and Activities Council. After dinner, the cast sang "Seasons of Love," and Rapp spoke to general students at the Tangeman University Center. "We always invite people to rehearsal," DeBendetto adds, "but we don't really think they are going to come. I was a little nervous singing in front of him, but in a good way."
Rapp's visit was the second VIP encounter the cast had, following UC alumnus Kevin McCollum's master classes a few weeks earlier. In '96, McCollum co-produced both the play, which won a Tony for Best Musical, and the movie. When the play closed in '08, it had become one of Broadway's longest running shows.
McCollum, CCM '84, HonDoc '05, presented two musical-theater master classes where he told how he had decided to produce the show while sitting through a reading of the play. "I looked at 'Rent' and said, 'That's not a show about AIDS. It's about creating family against the odds.'
"I sunk all the money I had into the show. It wasn't reactive; I was following my heart.
"We're in the drug business in musical theater," he explained. "We have to get the chemical reaction needed to get the hair to stand up on the back of your neck. This show starts on earth and ends in heaven."
Later that evening, McCollum talked to the "Rent" cast at their first rehearsal. That was when freshman Matt Hill grew inspired.
"I had an ignorant, closed opinion of the show until I heard from Kevin," Hill later admitted. "The first time I saw it was the movie, and Dad made us walk out, so I thought I shouldn't like it. I didn't understand why everyone loved it so much."
At the rehearsal, McCollum told stories about Jonathan Larson, the composer and writer who died the night before the show opened. He also played workshop songs that no one had heard for 17 years because Larson had rewritten them before the opening.
"Suddenly there was an energy in the room," Hill remembers, "and the stories sounded so much more honest and touching than we expected. I started crying instantly.
"He said Jonathan was in the room, and we were working with him, through him and for him. I believed it. Those things became so clear to me. He put words to things I hadn't been able to understand."
The show often has a life-changing impact on people, Rapp noted a few weeks later. Not only did he talk about heart-wrenching stories he heard around the world while touring and meeting other casts, he recalled an incident at a bookstore where a small boy sang the show's lyrics and handed him a construction-paper notebook in which he had drawn scenes with stick people. "There's a younger generation that continues to fall in love with the show," Rapp said.
Director Hess deliberately structured rehearsals and assignments to enforce the power of the play's message. "Every night before rehearsal, we stand in a circle and tell a story about someone who died of AIDS," DeBendetto says.
"Last weekend, we sang in front of 150 AIDS and HIV-plus patients at a benefit for AIDS research. Next week, patients who are living with AIDS are coming to talk to us about what they are going through. It's been one of the most moving theatrical experiences I could imagine."
Getting in touch with such emotions is vital for actors in "Rent," because the play "demands authenticity and presence," Hess says. "And this is a very different generation. They don't know what AZT (the first approved treatment for HIV) is ."
"This is one of those shows that everyone knows," DeBendetto admits, "but when you get to dive into what it all means and where it all comes from, it's very moving. We're not going to recreate Broadway here, but we are going to create a piece of theater that will move people."

If a person sees the new moon of Ramadaan but could not tell the superiors or was not believed about seeing it, should he fast alone, and what about Eid? Should he break the fasting alone?.
Some of the scholars are of the view that he should fast by himself, but the correct view is that it is not permissible for him to fast by himself or to break the fast by himself, rather he should fast with the people and break the fast with them, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The fast is the day when you (plural) fast and the breaking of the fast is the day when you break the fast." But if he is in the wilderness and has no one with him, then he may start and end the fast on the basis of his own moon sighting. End quote.
Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him)

Prophecy: Music and identity since 1996.
From 1996 on when we put out our first release, Prophecy has represented identity-establishing music and high-quality product design.
Prophecy is part of SPKR.
Multifaceted, independent media group specializing in the discovery, manufacturing, distribution and presentation of high quality music and art.
120 years before our age, there is a Gentlemen's Club of A Forest Of Stars, an exclusive brotherhood of Victorian Englishmen who consider themselves representatives of their era, an era as glorious and splendid as it is decadent and characterised by extreme opposites. This collective finds its musical expression in hypnotic and ghostly Black Metal, expertly streaked with elements of Ambient and Psychedelic. With their 2008 debut "The Corpse Of Rebirth," a concept album on the subject of creation, and their sophomore "Opportunistic Thieves Of Spring," the band laid the foundations for a total work of art under the banner of the glorious Victorian age and the personal abysses gaping behind its facades.

review of neutrogena healthy skin liquid makeup and custom glow blush & bronzer.
i'm crushing right now on neutrogena's healthy skin line.
neutrogena's healthy skin liquid makeup contains an antioxidant blend that gives the uber dewy glow (especially if you mix in just a touch of your moisturizer -- you will be unstoppably radiant). plus it has spf 20, and while i think products with added spf probably don't work as well as separate spf, i'm lazy. approximately $10 at drugstores nationwide.
the healthy skin custom blend blush & bronzer duo you see up top is exact duplicate of my beloved nars cosmetics multiple duo (at $10 vs $45). i could go on, but i don't think it's necessary.

We've designed the site to operate effortlessly and work seamlessly for customers using touchscreen devices who need access to user-friendly information anywhere at any time.
(PRWEB UK) 31 January 2014
The new responsive design website http://www.vanarama.co.uk is comprehensive and fully functional on any device, from the smallest smartphone to tablets, high end computers and everything in-between.
Representing twenty times any previous spend Vanarama has made on its website, Andy Alderson, Managing Director, explains why the investment in the new site is so important, "Our key customer base consists of builders and tradespeople, so it's no surprise that 52 percent of our customers are out on the road, viewing our website from a mobile device. This figure is only going to grow, so it was vital to create a 'mobile first' design to our site. This would help ensure that mobile users would have just as good an experience on their mobile as they would on a desktop PC. The site needed to operate effortlessly and work seamlessly for customers using touchscreen devices who need access to user-friendly information anywhere at any time."
With so many other web-based brokers out there, a key concern for Vanarama in the design of its website was also to make it stand out from the crowd. The internet is a great leveller and, while this is great in certain circumstances, the reality is that it's easy for anyone to build a website using stock photo images and set up a business. This makes it difficult for consumers to understand who they can trust. Vanarama has ensured it will differentiate itself and be taken seriously in a crowded market by creating premium content:
- A large part of the budget was spent on producing its own photography for every van sold. The on-line photo gallery allows the consumer to view each vehicle in all the popular colours.
- 360 degree videos were also produced as well as video walkarounds and reviews.
- Providing impartial reviews from a well-respected motoring journalist on every van sold.
- Including a Running Costs Calculator so customers can easily determine daily running costs.
- Enabling customers to quickly pit vehicles against each other with an on-line vehicle comparator.
Another vital element on the site was conveying the sense of a service-led culture - that the relationship with a customer is only really starting when they sign the dotted-line of the leasing agreement. To this end, Vanarama included key information on the Customer Support Team, the processes the company goes through to ensure that customers receive their vehicle on time, every time, and all enquiries are dealt with efficiently right up to the end of the lease.
"We are really proud to be one of the first van leasing companies to have adopted a responsive design website. We might have laid down a lot of cash in the site, but I see it as an investment in the future. As usage of mobile devices continues to skyrocket, it is essential to our customers to be able to access all of their favourite site features across all devices. Feedback so far has been fantastic, customers can really see the difference between Vanarama and the other web-based brokers," concludes Andy Alderson.
http://www.vanarama.co.uk is part of the Autorama Group which also owns http://www.pickuptrucksdirect.co.uk and is a leading provider of commercial vehicle leasing in the UK. For further press information, please contact Kate Bailey or Andy Alderson on 01442 828777.

Dynamics of Railway Vehicle Systems offers a comprehensive and analytical treatment of the rail-wheel interaction problem and its effect on vehicle dynamics. The development of mathematical models and their applications to dynamic analyses and the design of railway vehicles are discussed. This book consists of 11 chapters and opens with an overview of the background material required to study the dynamics of railway vehicles, with emphasis on analytical techniques used to determine the dynamic response of single- and multiple-degree-of-freedom systems. Numerical solutions of linear and nonlinear dynamic systems are also given, and various problems associated with the dynamic behavior of railway vehicles are addressed. Several mathematical models are proposed to study these problems. The following chapters focus on the wheel-rail rolling contact theories being applied in railway vehicle dynamics problems; modeling of the vehicle and its components on both tangent and curved railroad tracks; and the interaction between railway vehicles and bridges. The final chapter underscores the needs for validating mathematical models that are used to study the dynamic behavior of railway vehicles and train consists. This monograph will be of value to design and research engineers, transportation officials, mathematicians, analysts, and research workers interested in the dynamics of railway vehicle systems.1a15, Association of American Railroads, Track Train Dynamics Program, Chicago (1972). . aCar and Locomotive Cyclopedia, a ...

How To Video
Properly wipe any Android deviceThe default data wipe tool in Android may not be enough to permanently eliminate personal data on your old device. CNET's Dan Graziano shows you how to properly wipe your Android smartphones and tablets.
[MUSIC] A new study claims that the factory reset option built into the Android operating system may not be effective in deleting your personal data from your old device. Using widely available data recovery tools, anyone could potentially access the personal data you thought you deleted. I'm Dan Graziano, and in today's How To, I'm going to show you how to properly wipe your Android device and secure your personal data. I recommend that before you wipe your device, you encrypt it. This will scramble your data, and even if the wipe doesn't fully delete the data like the study claims, a special key will still be required to unscramble it. The encryption feature can be found on stock Android devices by going to Settings, clicking on Security and selecting Encrypt Phone. For Samsung HTC, LG and other devices with a custom skin, the encryption feature maybe located under a different menu such as Storage. The next thing you will want to do is perform a factory reset. This can be done on stock Android by going to Settings, click on Backup & Reset and selecting Factory data reset. Remember that before erase everything on your phone, and you should back up anything you don't wanna lose. Following these two steps should be enough for most people, but if you are really paranoid about your old data, there is something else you can do. After your device has been wiped, load dummy content on it, things like fake contacts fake photos. Why, you ask? After you perform another factory reset, your old data will be buried below the fake content, making it even harder for someone to recover. For more tips and tricks like this, visit howto.cnet.com. You can also reach out to me on Twitter with any questions or comments. I'm Dan Graziano CNET. Thanks for watching. [MUSIC]
