Version 220.127.116.11 (03/15/2011)
Note: You will need to uninstall any previous version(s) before installing this version.
- Windows 7 64bit compatibility changes.
- Minor misc. improvements (Styles, etc).
Version 22.214.171.124 (03/20/2009)
- Made some internal changes to better handle reference processing (in anticipation of new dictionary modules – Thompson's Chain Reference, and International Standard Bible Encyclopedia).
- Fixed a couple minor bugs.
Version 220.127.116.11 (03/12/2009)
- Added a few more English Bible translations.
- Added a King James 1611 Red Letter Edition Bible version that does not contain the Apocrypha.
- '3 Maccabees' and '4 Maccabees' are now included in all Apocryphal texts.
- Added Tooltips to the Bible and Ref Works List Windows.
- Added several new English Bible translations, as well as several non-English versions (Dutch, French, German, and Spanish). All together there are now around 40 Bible versions available. Here is a listing of the currently available Bibles.
- Added an "Ignore Diacritics" checkbox option to the "Search Window Options" dialog . If checked, the search engine willignore all diacritics in the search text.
- Because of the number of available CrossAlive Bibles (~40), only a small subset of the available Bibles are downloaded and installed by default from the CrossAlive website. After the main product has been installed, the user can then decide to install or uninstall any/all Bibles at their discretion.
- A new "Manage Bibles" menu option has been added to the "Organize" menu contained in the "Bible List Window".
- A new "Manage Commentaries" and "Manage Dictionaries" menu option has been added to the "Organize" menu contained in the "Reference List Window".
- The "Search Window" results list has been reworked. It is now a multi-select list that enables the user to perform actions on a set of selected items. The mechanism for the selection of multiple items follows the normal Window's multi-selection list rules (ctrl + select toggles selection, shift + select extends the selection, etc). Selection is denoted by the presence (or absence) of a "highlight strip" at the very left of the search item.
- Added user registration support. This is a volunteer, non-required, user comfort orientated only item. Nothing is (or will be) done with any supplied user info – except to loosely track CrossAlive usage and distribution. Part of the hope here, is that we can, in the future, gain some valued input from the user pertaining to their specific experiences and observations while using CrossAlive.
- Added a basic "Print" option to CrossAlive system windows (Bible, Commentary, Dictionary, and Search windows).
- Main CrossAlive window "Organize/Close All" menu item now supports Commentary and Dictionary Windows.
Version 188.8.131.52 (08/16/2008)
- Added a user configurable display option for customizable viewing of Strong's Numbers.
The user can now configure Bible and Commentary Windows (via their respective "Options / Settings" dialog) to display Strong's Numbers in one of the following formats:
- None - Strong's Numbers will not be displayed
- Numeric - (default) The numeric Strong's number will be displayed
- Original Language - The Hebrew or Greek word associated with the Strong's number will be displayed
- Transliteration - The transliterated Hebrew or Greek word associated with the Strong's number will be displayed
- "Copy Verse/Definition/Entry" now uses the source window's formatting routines for the formatting of the copied text.
For example, if the user has a Bible Window open and selects a range of verses to copy, it will now be copied using the Bible Window's formatting routines. Thusly, all formatting that is performed for the display of the verses in the Bible Window will now be done for the copied text. This same process is also present for the Commentary and Dictionary windows. The following example illustrates some of the changes present as a result of this change:
Bible Window copy - Old:
"Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But he answered them, "You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down." As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?" And Jesus answered them, "See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. " - Matt 24:1-8 - ESV
Bible Window copy - New:
Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple
Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. But he answered them, You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down."
Signs of the Close of the Age
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?" And Jesus answered them, "See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. " - Matt 24:1-8 - ESV
Version 126.96.36.199 (07/07/2008)
- Wrote a new set of tooltip processing routines to better be able to present footnotes and references in a more informative manner.
- Renamed HisWord to CrossAlive. The rename was made per the request of Tom Hoover - who currently has a PalmTop Bible program by the same name.
Version 184.108.40.206 (06/11/2008)
- Added NASB Bible version with Strong's Numbers.
- Fixed an html source formatting issue with the normal NASB text in Psalm 18 and 54.
Version 126.96.36.199 (06/10/2008)
- Added code to alert the user when a new version of HisWord is available for download.
Version 126.96.36.199 (06/08/2008)
- Removed the NIV, TNIV, and HCSB Bible versions.
Version 184.108.40.206 (06/08/2008)
- Changed the 'ProductCode' for HisWord, so that the install procedure will automatically uninstall any previous version.
Version 126.96.36.199 (06/06/2008)
- Added support for Pre and Post search result filtering. The pre-filtering mechanism only
applies to Bible and Commentary text searches (ie. It has no effect when searching dictionaries).
The pre filter level of granularity is at the Testament and/or category level (Old Testament,
Pentateuch, Wisdom, Gospels, etc), as further dissection seemed of little gain.
Pre filtering criteria is set up via the green filter icon on the Search Window menu/tool bar. If a Pre-filter is set, then the Search Window title text will reflect this by showing a "(PF)" in the title. The pre filter criteria is maintained as set, until the user physically sets it to another value (ie. it is maintained across HisWord invocations as well as across disparate searches).
The post filtering criteria is set by accessing the down arrow on the red filter icon at the same location. As was previously the case, pressing on the post filter icon root (not the down arrow, but the area to the left of it) will clear any post filter criteria set. Note, the post filter criteria is dynamically created each search, as it is dependant upon the search results.
- Restored
Ctrl + LeftMouseClickfunctionality to the Search Window - for Bible Windows only.
When you perform a search and you LeftMouseClick on an item reference, that reference will be navigated to and highlit in the associated Bible Window (as normal). If, however, you hold the
Ctrl keydown when you select an item with the mouse, HisWord will navigate to that reference for every currently open Bible window - if possible (not all Bible versions have the same books - ie. Apocrypha).
For instance, if you have an NIV, NASB, and HCSB Bible Window currently open, and you perform a search on one of the Bible Windows, when you
Ctrl + LeftMouseClickon a Search Window result reference, the NIV, NASB, and HCSB windows will all be positioned to the selected reference.
- Made HisWord restore to the "Normal" WindowState if it was either Maximized or Minized when closed.
- Completed search display code for Regular Expression searches.
- 06-05-2008 -- Fixed a handful of formatting issues in several of the included Bibles. Most of the formatting issues dealt with the "words of Jesus" not being shown as such, or an extraneous italicized tag being awry. These issues were made apparent by the previous output performance rework.
- Fixed a chapter/verse conflict in the HCSB. The version of the HCSB text obtained for HisWord actually had 1Sam 4:22 as 1Sam 3:22 - causing various problems with footnotes and the like.
- 06-04-2008 -- Reworked the text output mechanism for the Bible, Commentary, and Dictionary windows. This was done to improve performance of especially large and/or 'note' intensive displays (though every display has significantly benefited). Displaying windows, such a Bible Window of the KJV with Strong's numbers, is now relatively instantaneous.
Version 188.8.131.52 (05/29/2008)
- Added support for "Strong's Numbers" into the system.
This entailed the following:
- Adding "The King James Bible With Strong's Numbers"
- Adding "Strong's Greek Dictionary" - (SGD)
- Adding "Strong's Hebrew Dictionary" - (SHD)
- Adding "Vine's New Testament Bible Dictionary" - (VNT)
And modifying the following to support the above additions:
- Bible Windows now support Bible versions with Strong Numbers. Currently this only entails the King James Version (no others are planned at present)
- Commentary Windows now support inline Bible versions with Strong's Numbers.
- The Search Window will now accept references to Strong's Numbers.
To search for a given Greek Strong's Number, precede the number with a 'G' (no spaces in between), for a Hebrew Strong's Number precede it with an 'H'. For example, to find all references to the Greek Strong's Number 2316, you would type in "G2316" (without the quotes). To find the Hebrew Strong's Number 430, you would type in "H430".
Strong's Numbers can be used in all simple and Boolean searches as normal textual input.
Example 1: ((G2316 AND written) AND G444) AND (NOT truth)
Example 2: ((G2316 OR H430) AND man) AND sin
Note that, obviously, any search that contains an "AND" of a Greek and Hebrew word will always fail - Hebrew, Old Testament - Greek New Testament.
- Context menu support has been modified to support right-clicking on a Strong's Number. This will let the user perform lookups and searches as with all other normal text lookups and searches.
- Modified the context menu "See Alternate Definition" submenu items to reflect whether the specified dictionary contains an entry for the topic in question. A very lax lookup/search is performed on the text selected. If an exact match cannot be found, a gross check for the plural/singular form is performed - this is not guaranteed to match all cases given. A quasi-match is noted by bolding the dictionary's title text in the popup.
- "Chapter" menu selections (activated either via right mouse click on the Book List Window, or from the navigation toolbar chapter dropdown) nows shows which chapter is currently selected before a new selection is made.
- Added the ability to set the main text font and color in the Search Window.
- Removed reference to "Personal Notes" (future enhancement) from the Bible Window Settings Dialog.
- 05-10-2008 -- Fixed some extraneous parsing anomylies in the "text reference" parsing code. In particular, references like "Dan 3:1, 5:6" is now handled correctly (before you had to specify "Dan 3:1; 5:6".
- "Text reference" parsing code has had a couple minor additions added to it. They are:
- Single chapter books can be referenced without specifying the chapter. Hence references like "Jude 6-10" will be understood to be referencing "Jude 1:6-10" by default.
- You can now specify "and all following verses" via "ff" as the verse designation. Hence references like "John 3:4-ff" will be taken as "John 3:4-36"
- 04-20-2008 -- Fixed some extraneous clipboard format issues (rtf text was being set for both the rtf and text formats in some cases).
- Added a "Coalesce References" option to the Bible Window and Commentary Window "Copy Format" option dialog. This option tells the system (during a Search Window context menu "Copy References" selection) to coalesce the references (eg. John 3:1; John 3:3; John 3:4; John 3:5; John 5:6; John 5:10; John 5:6; John 5:10-12 is coalesced into John 3:1,3-5; 5:6,10-12)
Version 188.8.131.52 (04/19/2008)
- Added quick definition selection items into the Dictionary Window "Goto" reference menu.
Version 18.104.22.168 (04/17/2008)
- Added "Nave's Topical Bible Dictionary"
- Added/updated "About" information for newly added Dictionary Works.
- Reworked context menu support for Commentary and Dictionary selection
- Reworked (removed, actually) support for "default" Commentary and Dictionary settings from all options dialogs. (This was done in concert with the previous context menu change)
- Added support for the "View" menu in the Reference Works List.
- Also added Reference Works List display support for the appropriate settings in the "Options/Settings" dialog.
- 04-10-2008 -- Added "Hitchcock's Bible Names"
- Added "King James Bible Dictionary"
- Fixed issue with Book List window not syncronising properly when switching from one dictionary to another.
- Fixed a problem with the Book Window not being cleared/updated appropriately when all Document windows were closed.
- Fixed a problem with right-click context menu items. When a right click ocurred in the first word of a line - on the first line of the screen, the context menu items containing auto-selected words were not correct (due to RichTextBox character non-visability).

Originally posted by lowki
then can telepathically communicate, share dreams and go from there.
That is the concern. You say it will come true,yet I have been told that they may not ocme true,since the dreams are self-centered more or less,which means Im polarized "service to self" moreso than to others.
Thing is, it shouldn't ever be a choise of ones own happiness and dreams OR helping others. If I could I would choose both, or to get my dreams and after I have satisfied that need move on to other people and help them with 100% hands on attitude,because I have already achieved my dreams. If I start helping them now, as much as I can,it will be a constant struggle due to me actually thinking of my own dreams and unhappiness and sadness I feel because I can't realize the dreams so far.
Also a question, when you say continuum of experience, what does that mean exactly ? A bit vague for me.
Do you mean life experience in general, as in live my life the way I see fit and eventually it'll happen ? Or do you mean experience that has to do with certain things that will help me achieve my dreams directly ?
Thanks, Unity99 (won't mention her name just in case,who knows who might be reading these besides us) said you might help me by giving hints and suggestions how to maybe exactly achieve this time travel bit etc. But I'm guessing there really is no way to do it the way I described is there? Not yet at least or am I mistaking?

I wish to add something to this since he brought up my name.
You mentioned writing down. I know you call them spells, whereas I call them positive affirmations and a form of prayer or positivity turning negatives around. The universe is frequency and sound, words, writing, all have affects.
magic 1.
The art that purports to control or forecast natural events, effects, or forces by invoking the supernatural.
So I was wondering if he could write down his intentions, post them on the wall, pray/meditate, ask before sleep and meditations, perhaps some form of chakra gateway.
Of course there is no guarantees, its more a journey, and one should be flexible in my own opinion.
Your thread is really great by the way, very interesting. Lots of love, joy, peace, happiness.edit on 14-6-2011 by Unity_99 because: (no reason given)

I ascended when I was a pirate through negative love (acceptance) of my fellow pirates.
I've had three incarnations,
the first I was a male miner of sorts using a relatively unsuccessful hybrid,
I died early as a counsel decided that the host body was causing me too much pain.
Then I incarnated as a female genetic engineer,
I participated in some food lathering orgies in my spare time.
My first two life times I spent underground,
the mining one I was mainly in tunnels,
where as the genetic engineer female I spent mostly under ground buildings.
Then I incarnated as a space ship helper "android" gray alien,
I had Nordic Orion masters,
but I rarely looked much above their waist,
I was getting my orders from a higher ranking gray group leader.
I died in the soviet union in the early 80's from a rifle wound to the chest,
reincarnated as a homo-sapien.
To help we with you ascend.
I can still interact with the gray hive mind -- either directly or through memory.
So if you have any questions about Gray alien society feel free to ask.

I'm always fascinated by the way in which people create and personalise their religious paradigm, especially if it is one (which has main themes) that remain constant over a long period of time.
Having said this, I remain ever bored if I personally examine such beliefs for too long, as they are overwhelmingly bizarre.
In this context, I'd like to ask a question, but I'll present a caveat first. What I am about to ask is indeed slightly influenced by my finding all of this to be rather comical and insane. However, it does stem from an admission of Loki's -- although perhaps not completely intentional -- that he has taken it upon himself to (at least once) try '___'.
My question, Loki, is simply to ask for an explanation of the extent that drugs have influenced your life up to this point,
and for an honest assessment of their place of prominence therein.

Call it what it is: an RV resort
Week after week I read all negatives of building an RV resort on Love Creek. It is clear to me that there are issues that I feel need to be introduced. I am not an expert in environmental concerns, traffic problems or road conditions that were addressed at the various meetings which I attended. I feel that that is the concern of the developer and all the appropriate federal, state and county committees that will be involved with this project. However, my concerns are economical. While in attendance, I heard no one mention about the employment advantage and the economic impact as to how much revenue would be brought into the community.
My wife and I have been RVers for over 20 years. Our current RV is a fifth wheel which is pulled by a truck with an overall length of approximately 40 feet. We have RVed extensively to destinations throughout the United States, including Alaska and western Canada. RV resorts and campgrounds are different in some respects. RV resorts are normally destination places where families come on vacation plus they are looking for amenities such as swimming pools, wi-fi hookups, cable TV, mini-golf, etc. There are always planned daily activities for both children and adults. This is what's expected at an RV resort, and the rates reflect all of these amenities. Campgrounds, in many cases, offer fewer amenities at a lower rate. All RV resorts and campgrounds have quiet times with strict rules on noise and when to extinguish campfires. There is usually 24-hour security in all campgrounds and resorts to monitor the rules. What the developer for the RV resort at Love Creek is doing is developing a high-end resort, which leads me to believe that there will be nothing built detrimental to the area.
My wife and I were both employed by the 3 Seasons RV Resort in Rehoboth Beach which bordered the homes at the Rehoboth Yacht and Country Club. We were full-time RVers at that time looking for a place to live and retire since moving from our previous home. Having family ties in the area, we chose to live in Briarwood Estates.
The layout and operations of 3 Seasons RV resort were superb. In the building plans of this new resort, it seems that the most controversial issue is the traffic impact and road conditions on Cedar Grove Road. Historically, 3 Seasons operated from March 15 through Thanksgiving weekend. The high concentration of traffic on Country Club Road was July 1 through Aug. 20 plus weekends. At no time was Country Club Road traffic impeded to stop-and-go because of campers entering or leaving the RV resort. Most all resorts that we have camped in are on secondary roads and have large parking facilities for checking into the park at their welcome center. In addition to eliminating parking problems and traffic to and from Rehoboth, 3 Seasons contracted with DART, and a bus came into the park on a regular seven-day schedule from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. to pick up beachgoers, shoppers and people wanting to go into Rehoboth. The camp store sold the daily pass for a flat fee. Jobs both seasonal and full time will be created once the resort is up and running, and don't forget the construction force needed to build the resort at Love Creek.
In conclusion, there is a need for another RV resort in this area. I can tell you that we keep running into previous campers from 3 Seasons and they all say the same thing: "Why did they ever close that park?" It is our belief that by developing the Love Creek RV Resort, it is going to buy a lot of joy and happiness for a whole new generation of campers and possible future homeowners here in the Sussex County area.

Want to discover new bands that are playing in your area? Well, Timbre is a music discovery app that wants to make it easier to discover bands.
What users do is that they boot up the app, the app discovers the user's location, and then a variety of bands that are performing in the area will be displayed. Users can tap on the name to start hearing music from that band. If they're interested, they can tap the tickets icon to search ticket websites to go see that band, or to tap the share icon to just share that band with others. Timbre calls this local music discovery, as it is based on finding local concerts.
If you're traveling, you can find bands in other areas by manually entering another location. As well, there's the ability to increase the search radius to up to 50 miles, or decrease to as low as one mile if you're looking for really local shows. The app is now available on Google Play.

rnJul 2, '02To tell you the truth I don't feel protected at all. Should I "blow the whistle" I feel that my job will certainly be in jeopardy. New Mexico is a "free will" state which means you are free to be fired at any time with or without reason.
However, I was looking for a job when I found this one and I don't feel as I would hold back if I knew of fraud or simular crimes.
-RussellJul 3, '02The nursing unions in NY, led by the New York State Nurses Assoc just got it passed last month, after a 4 yr battle for it.
You can find all the other states & where they are with the staffing law, mandatory ot law, whistleblower law & many others that affect us by going to the governmental affairs page on the American Nurses Assoc website. Click federal & stateJul 3, '02<Should I "blow the whistle" I feel that my job will certainly be in jeopardy. New Mexico is a "free will" state which means you are free to be fired at any time with or without reason.>
EXCEPT if you have whistleblower protection laws!!Jul 4, '02New Jersey. Look under CEPA for Conscientious Employee Protection Act. Apparently some of the ramifications can be loss of medicare funding for 6 months, loss of Magnet if you have that lame designation, and unfair labor pratice violations.
It is a great idea that is very long overdue. I'm not sure what other states have whistleblower protection but there are quite a few that either do have it or are working on it.Jul 4, '02We have whistleblower protection in Wisconsin I believe, however, the information is missing on the WNA site.Jul 4, '02from ana government relations....
click on link below to check out map for which states have passed whistleblower legislation or have introduced state bills.
federal legislation introduced under medicare regulations,
bipartisan patient protection act of 2001, s. 1052 , upon passing, would force facilities to loose medicare funds or ability to accept medicare clients upon guilty judgement if facility violates whistleblower provisions.
whistleblower laws prevent employers from taking retaliatory action against nurses through actions including suspension, demotion, harassment or discharge for reporting improper quality of patient care. across the nation, nurses are speaking out or "blowing the whistle" against workplace conditions that jeopardize patients and staff and they need legal protection. with the restructuring of health care and its cost cutting measures, nurses are frustrated as they try to provide quality patient care while staffing levels, resources and support are often inadequate.
as part of the american nurses association's (ana) nationwide state legislative agenda, ana, in cooperation with state nurses associations, is promoting strong whistleblower laws on the state level that provide legal protection so nurses can be patient advocates without fear of reprisal. on the federal level, ana has been actively pushing for the enactment of the bipartisan patient protection act of 2001, s. 1052 which includes a whistleblower provision for nurses and other health care professionals.
in 2002 legislation enacted in md prevents retaliatory action against any individually licensed or certified employee who discloses to a supervisor or board an activity, policy or practice that is in violation of a law, rule, or regulation. ny enacted legislation prevents an employer from taking retaliatory action against an employee who discloses to a supervisor or a public body an activity that constitutes improper quality of care or refuses to participate in that activity. the law also establishes a fund that consists of money received from civil penalties related to this law to be used for improving quality of patient care. whistleblower legislation is also being considered in ct, fl, hi, ia, il, and ri.
in 2001, whistleblower legislation enacted in or prevents a hospital from taking retaliatory action against nursing staff for disclosure of an activity, policy or practice of the hospital that is in violation of a law or professional standard of practice and that poses a risk to patients. the law also protects the nurse from participating in any activity that the nursing staff believes poses a risk to the patient. wv law prevents retaliation or discrimination against any health care worker who reports wrongdoing or waste or advocates on behalf of a patient in regards to care
national and state legislation affecting nursing found here:
http://www.nursingworld.org/gova/state.htmJul 4, '02Although this is a little bit off topic, the following is a prime example of how things can go very wrong for nurses, and how knowing your rights is so important.
I wonder if any of you are aware of the nightmare that occured
here in my hometown a few years ago. Below is an unofficial version of what happened. Has been referred to as the Health Sciences Centre Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Incident.
The facts of this infamous incident have become public only after a publicly funded inquest was done, and the incident is truly frightening -- especially if you are a nurse. A few years ago, the largest tertiary care facility in Winnipeg decided to start a pediatric cardiac surgery program at the HSC. It seems that not a lot reasearch was done in the feasibility of such a venture, and it appears to have been mostly a political move rather than being pased on specific population needs, or available professional support.
Anyway, a surgeon was recruited from the States with little actual experience, but seemingly based on the fact that he was a graduate of Harvard School of Medicine. It seems that from the start, there were concerns from the OR nurses working with this doctor. Reports or his gross incompetance were widely ignored and, resulted only in a "there, there" attitude from administration. Some nurses were disciplined due to their refusal to work with this doctor, or for voicing concerns directly to him. The specific details that have released of what occured during these surgeries, are truly frightening. The concerns were reported to the local College of Physicians and Surgeons, and did not result in his dismissial. Eventually it was determined that this surgeon was responsible for 12 infant deaths on the operating table. It appears that only when the parents and families of the dead started demanding answers, that the plug was pulled on the program and the surgeon was terminated. Details of the public inquest are available on the net and I will direct anyone there who is interested. Scarry thing is, this Docter was able to return to the States without the incident being on his record, and is presently working in California.Last edit by adrienurse on Jul 4, '02Jul 4, '02Whistleblower law for health care workers passed in 2000 in California. California Senate Bill 97 was passed and signed by Governor Gray Davis. This bill extends whistle blower protections to all employees who work in acute care facilities. Under the provisions of this legislation, employees may not retaliate against employees who file complaints regarding unsafe patient care. Violators are subject to fines.
Suicide note written by Mary Hochman, RN, right before she walked down to Tajiguas beach in California on a September day in 2000 and shot herself in the heart with a .38 caliber revolver:
" Since I became a whistleblower my entire life has been ruined. I tried to do the right thing to protect my patients. I have no job. I cannot pay my bills. I have no faith in nursing. If a nurse reports wrongdoing to the State her life will be ruined like mine. She will lose her patients, her friends at work, her seniority.
Medical records can be changed by administrators and no one will do anything. Nurses notes were replaced by a nurse who wasn't even in the building on the stated date. Another nurses notes were destroyed. Is there anyone out there who understands how important it is that nurses be able to report wrongdoing. These nurses must be protected when they report to the state.
If a nurse cannot protect her patients I do not want to be a nurse. This has taken all hope away from me. I cannot continue to watch my husband and my daughter suffer because I was a whistleblower."
Mary had reported patient abuse at a nursing home. Because of her, this nursing home was shut down.Last edit by fiestynurse on Jul 4, '02Jul 4, '02FYI RE: Winnipeg Whistleblowing Incident

Isn't it scary? We have a cardiologist who lied to a family and said the heart cath procedure went well and he has no disease. Problem was, he never was able to access the artery to do the stinking cath in the first place. Another doc turned him in to adminsitration and he is still on staff to this day. Whistle blowing laws are desparately needed. Isn't it sad that this is the case??? My grandfather was an honest doc who died in 1980. He turns over in his grave on a regular basis. If anyone feels the earth moving in the NYC area, it's just poor Grandpa Jim rolling over in digust again!!!Jul 5, '02<New Mexico is a "free will" state which means you are free to be fired at any time with or without reason.>
Not exactly - In New Mexico recently, 6 nurses, represented by the American Nurses Assoc legal team, went to court over this because they WANTED to blow the whistle on a physician at their facility & testify for the pts he harmed but the hosiptal was blocking them & retaliating against them. The court sided with the nurses. Story below:
The American Nurse -
July/August 2001
NM Whistleblowers Win In Court
A New Mexico judge granted a motion to protect six RNs who acted as whistleblowers against a physician whose alleged incompetent and unprofessional actions plaintiffs say led to the death of a patient.
The six nurses -- all members of the New Mexico Nurses Association (NMNA) -- are either current or former employees of Memorial Medical Center in Las Cruces, NM. Based on ethical grounds, they testified in support of a lawsuit brought forth by plaintiffs Thomas Smith and Irene Dockray against Lorraine Martinez, DO. Martinez is accused of negligence and incompetence involving Smith's wife, Deborah, who died from sepsis after Martinez allegedly failed to treat her. She also is accused of permanently harming Dockray during a medical procedure.
ANA had filed an amicus brief in support of the nurses that detailed the importance of the Code of Ethics for Nurses and patient advocacy in the context of nursing practice.
"The nurses in this case adhered to the profession's Code of Ethics," said ANA General Counsel Alice Bodley. "Under this Code, they are required to stand up, speak out and protect their patients. The judge's ruling is a victory for the workplace advocacy efforts of the ANA."
Although the parties await a written order, the Hon. Thomas Cornish of the Third Judicial District Court ruled July 6 that he would grant the plaintiffs' motion for rules governing the questioning of nurse witnesses.
The court specifically ruled that Memorial Medical Center could not require its employed nurses to speak only through -- or with -- hospital attorneys. The court also held the hospital accountable for any retaliation against the nurses, stating that retaliatory action will be considered contempt of court. And, despite objections from the hospital, the judge included a charge nurse under this protective ruling.
"This case sends a message in New Mexico and throughout the country that nurses can and will stand up and make their concerns known about inadequate or deficient patient care," said NMNA President Judith Dunaway, MSN, RNC, HNC. "The nurses tried to work internally through the hospital system, but that system didn't work. When nurses express concern over inadequate care, their concerns should not be ignored. Now the barriers have been removed that would hinder nurses in New Mexico from speaking out for their patients."
ANA President Mary Foley, MS, RN, added, "Nurses should never feel that their jobs or licenses are jeopardized because they speak out against poor medical practice or unsafe patient care. It's our responsibility as nurses to advocate on behalf of our patients."
This ruling not only provides protections for the nurses involved in the case, but also reveals the importance of nurses' ethical requirements and the need for state law and judicial proceedings to protect nurses who speak out on behalf of quality patient care.
>>>>>>>>Aug 28, '02Whisleblower laws are incredibly ineffective. In short, it's a sham. In Missouri where there is a whistleblower law, it has no teeth since the employer will most certainly find some wrongdoing to harass or discharge the nurse "for cause." To tie the emplyer's action to retaliation, you must prove that there is a relationship between your reporting and the "legitimate" reason for their employer's actions against you. Additionally, there is no agency or funding to assist the nurse. In other words, the only recourse is through civil courts and the case is almost impossible to prove. Any witnesses you might have will dummy-up or get amnesia to protect their own jobs. Although nursing unions and organizations are making progress to protect a nurse, we're still very far away from having a voice in protecting ourselves and our patients. In most cases, the nurse fights the battle alone, shunned by coworkers for making waves, and ultimately loses her job and is labelled a "troublemaker" which makes finding a new job more difficult. Been there, done that.

Live and breathe the story of England at royal castles, historic gardens, forts & defences, world-famous prehistoric sites and many others.
Excavations suggest two distinct periods of habitation in about 800 BC and 500 BC.
A fortified tower is erected on the headland. It was probably one of many signal stations build on England's north-eastern coast by the Romans.
A chapel is built within the foundations of the Roman signal station and a small cemetery created.
William le Gros, Count of Aumâle, builds the castle. King Stephen makes him Earl of York.
Find out more about the history of Scarborough Castle
Henry II becomes king and demands the return of all royal castles. Scarborough passes to the Crown.
Henry begins to rebuild the castle. He plants a new town beneath its walls and builds the great tower.
King John spends more on Scarborough than on any other castle in the kingdom. He adds a new royal chamber block and an extensive outer wall.
Henry Percy, 2nd Baron Percy, and his wife are granted licence to live in the castle. They build a bakehouse, brewhouse and kitchen in the inner bailey.
Richard III is the last king to stay at the castle, when he assembles a fleet to resist the invasion of Henry Tudor, later Henry VII.
Constable Sir Ralph Eure declares his support for Henry VIII against the Pilgrimage of Grace and is besieged in the castle. Although damaged by gunfire, the castle is held successfully.
Thomas Stafford seizes the castle, hoping to raise a revolt against Queen Mary. The castle is easily captured and Stafford and his accomplices are executed.
Royalist Scarborough endures one of the bloodiest Civil War sieges. The walls of the great tower are sheared and half the building collapses during Parliamentarian attacks.
Two German warships fire more than 500 shells on the town and castle from the bay. There are 17 civilians killed and more than 80 seriously wounded.
The castle is taken into state guardianship. The 18th-century barracks block is demolished and the Roman signal station and later chapel are excavated.
The castle is placed in the care of English Heritage.

"The Last Time" as written by Robin Miriam Carlsson, Johan Oskar Andreas Ekhe and Ulf Peter Lindstrom....
Ever since I was a little girl even younger than I am now
I always felt good about you in a special way
I don´t know how
And we always seem to find our way back to the love
that we are sharing
And every time we say it´s over
I can't forget you sweet loving
After every time we brake up things always turn out the same
I tell myself that I have shaped up
but I am still a part of this game
You always seem to come back into my life
When I thought I´ve forgotten you, you always show up
It´s drivin´ me crazy, it´s got me going wild
And I don´t know if this is ever gonna stop
You always seem to come back into my world
And this time I hope we´re stayin´ on track
´Cause I don´t want to be anybodyelses girl
I hope this is the last time you´ll ever come back
I want you back ´cause you´re a good man,
The kinda´ man who loves you all through the night
And though it never turns out like I planned
Somehow it feels so right
So this time, boy don´t run away
´Cause you´ll always have a place in my heart
And I swear I´m gonna love you ´til the day,
´Til the day that death do us part
I don´t have the strength to be proud anymore
I want it all to be just like before
I guess what I´m really tryin´ to say
Is that I want you to come back, Come back to stay,
I love you
(´cause I really love you) want to (I just want to) get closer
(get much closer) than ever (more than ever)
´Cause I love you
Yes I do, yes I do I do love you baby and I´m telling you now
When I´m down you bring me up and when I´m up you bring me down
So what am I suppose to do when all I want is
to get back with you baby

When it comes to sustainable seafood, San Francisco gets it. As a progressive, seaside town, seafood is plentiful and the options for eating sustainably are constantly improving.
That's one of the reasons I was excited to be in town last week. That and, for the past few days in San Francisco it's been all about the oceans. With the TedX "BIG BLUE" event on Thursday night, the oceans were stealing the spotlight. San Francisco was an appropriate back drop for this event because the people of this city are intrinsically tied to the oceans. The bay, the piers, the seafood are all a part of the culture. And its citizens are more and more tuned in to eating sustainably because an increasing number of local outlets are making it possible. This city is on the right page.
But for those who still aren't hooked, stay with me. There's even more reasons why eating seafood caught responsibly is the healthy and socially responsible choice -- and that's why I'm really here, to share this with the TedX community.
The bottom line is that wild seafood has the potential to help feed our growing population -- specifically the 9 billion people who will be here in 2050. A fully productive ocean could provide the entire animal protein diet for a billion people, or 13 to 15 percent of the animal protein produced on the entire planet. But this is only possible if we put in place science-based fishery management around the world.
Food for thought: The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says that the world must produce 70 percent more food to meet the coming hunger needs in 2050. But the resources needed to create that additional food are increasingly scarce. Meanwhile, the poorest billion people on earth already depend upon fish as their primary source of animal protein. Unfortunately, the global fishing fleet doesn't, in general, fish sustainably and global fish catch has dropped since the late 1980s. The status quo isn't sustainable.
If we're going to allow wild seafood to help feed a growing population we need to responsibly manage the resource. We need to go country-by-country to help address this crisis by enforcing legislation to restore ocean productivity in the nations that catch the largest amount of fish.
So what can you do to promote sustainability? This city is off to a great start -- so there's no shortage of options. Local businesses like Siren SeaSA (a CSA for seafood) and "I Love Blue Sea" (a sustainable seafood supplier) are making it easier for Bay Area residents to eat responsibly caught seafood. It's reaching local eateries, too. Fish Restaurant in Sausalito, Tataki Sushi Bar, Fog Harbor Fish House and others have taken progressive steps to make sure that only the most sustainable species are served. As for what to eat -- pacific herring is a great example of a key forage fish (the ocean's small fish) found in San Francisco Bay that local seafood consumers should be choosing, rather than seeing it exported for pennies per pound to feed livestock or farmed fish. These are little thing that make a big difference.
In the end it isn't just an ocean problem anymore. It's a people problem. So take advantage of all the choices San Francisco has for eating sustainably and do your part (i.e. pick up a Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Guide or download the app) or visit us at Oceana. And remember, if we save the oceans, we can feed the world.

1. Combine the cream, egg yolks, sugar, and pinch saffron in a medium saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. The sauce will start to thicken in about 15 minutes, but do not let it boil. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl set over ice. Add the milk, chardonnay, and white pepper; stir until cool.
2. Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's instructions until just set, about 25 minutes. Place in the freezer for 1 hour before serving.
3. Thinly slice the apple into thin batons and soak in a shallow bowl of chardonnay until ready to serve. Divide the ice cream among 4 bowls and garnish with the apple batons, a sprinkle of sea salt, and a few saffron threads.

1081-B St. Rt. 28 #280
Milford, Ohio 45150
Dr. Robert Gibbens 3/4/12
Director, Western Region
2150 Center Ave.
Building B, Mailstop 3W11
Fort Collins, CO 80526-8117
Dr. Gibbens,
I am contacting you today because I am outraged by the recent cruel
and unnecessary deaths of ten cats
at the Southwest Bio-labs (85-R-0015) of Las Cruces, New Mexico.
A December, 2011, USDA inspection report for this facility cites the
lab for inadequate indoor housing
facilities. The incident which took place occurred in October of
2011. Apparently a thermostat malfunctioned and caused temperatures in a room which housed cats to rise
precipitously. The excessive heat caused ten cats
to die.
It is clear that this facility also committed violations of several
additional portions of the Animal
Welfare Act. While the facility was cited for a violation of Section
3.2 Indoor Housing Facilities, I believe that
several other sections of the AWA were violated, including: Section
2.33 Adequate Veterinary Care, which
includes requirements for adequate observation of animals.
Additionally, Section 2.32 Personnel Qualifications
– providing qualified personnel to care for animals, etc.
It is clear from this inspection report that the cats in this
facility were not adequately observed, they
were not protected from injury, and the facilities in which they
were housed were grossly inadequate.
Therefore, in light of the direct nature of this violation, in light
of the fact that this violation took the lives of 10
cats, I hereby insist that the Western Regional Office of the Animal
& Plant Inspection Service immediately
initiate the process necessary to levy a substantial fine against
Southwest Biolabs. I am aware that fines can be
issued in the amount of $10,000 per violation, and that in some
instances; this can be multiplied by the number
of animals affected by the violation. In light of the seriousness of
the fatal nature of this non-compliance, I urge
you to utilize the per animal option, and issue a fine of $10,000
per animal killed in this situation, or a minimum of $100,000 based
on the single violation which has already been issued and the ten
animals it affected.
I expect that your office will reply to this correspondence within
five business days.

Executive Director, SAEN

Rats, mice, birds, amphibians and other animals have been excluded from
coverage by the Animal Welfare Act. Therefore research facility reports
do not include these animals. As a result of this situation, a blank
report, or one with few animals listed, does not mean that a facility
has not performed experiments on non-reportable animals. A blank form
does mean that the facility in question has not used covered animals
(primates, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, pigs, sheep,
goats, etc.). Rats and mice alone are believed to comprise over 90% of
the animals used in experimentation. Therefore the majority of animals
used at research facilities are not even counted.

If you Google BI Search, the way-back machine takes you to a raft of stories from 2006 when talk was rampant that the future of business intelligence might lie in a blinking cursor in a text pane. Before and since, vendors have been working to make data and information access more intuitive for casual users, a model youd expect to grow as text mining and analytics mature.
With emphasis on existing reports and other unstructured information, Google also figured large for BI search in 2006 and quickly struck partnerships with most of the well-known BI vendors. I still read about this and expect well see more, even if no one has yet approached me with a powerful use case.
What Ive been looking for are better ways of making natural language queries against structured databases, (which would look something like Internet search), so I paid a bit of attention to SAPs introduction of Business Objects Explorer at their SAPPHIRE conference last week (I was not in attendance). I missed my meeting with SAP, not unusual for the SAPPHIRE rat race, but better yet, talked to Katrina Coyle, Global Information Manager at Molson Coors who has been beta testing SAP Business Objects Explorer for just six weeks and already wants it pretty dearly.
Molson Coors is a longtime SAP customer, a good thing since Explorer revolves around an in-memory database in SAP Netweaver BW Accelerator appliance, optimized Intel processing and Adobe Flash presentation.
I let Katrina lead me to the good stuff. (Disclosure: Apart from my interview I have seen video demos but not actually laid hands on it). The accelerator brings in data that is indexed (as opposed to searching the entire database) and loaded into spaces containing a cube, part of a cube or multiple cubes for search. One of our biggest spaces we created has 900 million records, which really are indexes, and it is unbelievably fast, three or five seconds through huge data sets and inside the data its milliseconds.
Faster is better but the greater proposition is in the interface and presentation. Molson Coors introduced the test platform to relative novices in a five-minute Webex presentation and turned them loose in a sandbox environment. We have a lot of movement within our organization, especially in sales. You know how it is when you move, theres ramp up, you dont know where that data is or where our overstock is, says Coyle. This is very different from asking which report you should look at: you type in a region, a time period over last, hit the button and boom, it comes back with a suggestion of what you want and 99.9 percent of the time the first thing it proposes is what you want.
Drilldown and filtering clarify the information and the results are liberated in Flash through displays that (hopefully) make the best sense of the information. Coyle says the response times means Explorer is being used in meetings (where people are already looking at reports and dashboards) to answer the usual follow-up questions.
Forrester Research analyst Boris Evelson had a look at Explorer at SAPPHIRE and calls it a powerful example of natural language search. A business analyst can explore a what-if scenario, and a very casual user who will never be comfortable with any kind of OLAP or even a dashboard or matrix-based display can quickly find things and put them into facts and dimensions.
The Explorer product grew out of Business Objects Polestar search product, and SAP calls the new release (general availability is later this year) the greatest integration yet of SAP and Business Objects technology. But nobody actually owns it yet so I will be looking for a case study or profile of this or similar technologies as they come into use. Stay tuned and add your thoughts below.

You are hereForums / CPIM Exam Preparation / General Discussion / results
Apics March 18 2012 results are out.
If you have appeared the exam then expect to get the score card in a day or two
I cleared first 2 papers BSCM & MPR with 310 + scores
Do you mind sharing your experience with the MRP exam?
I was ill-prepared for the exam and went in with less than an hour's worth of studying. I managed to pass by the skin of my teeth with a 300. Now that I just took the ECO exam, and failed, I see that the BSCM was simple compared to the latter! There was little if anything in the ECO practice exam content that was on the actual test. Most of the BSCM questions I kinda knew the answer, but with ECO, I knew was unsure on most and completely clueless on several!
BSCM is the easiest of all and no one should feel overconfident by clearing it with a good score.
ECO & SMR are the toughest to clear

Prepare the staging and production servers for deployment. Generate the production files in the format required. Install and test the site constituents in the production environment. Prepare graphics and other multimedia files for low-bandwidth transmission.
Implement Deployment Plan
Undertake the steps identified in the Internet Architecture Blueprint to deploy the technology and applications for this incremental release.
Configure Server
Work with corporate networking services or with your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to ensure that the server is registered on the internal corporate or provider network and that an IP (Internet Protocol) address is assigned.
Install all necessary system software and packages to configure the staging server, if the organization uses one, and/or the production server.
Set-up the directory structure for the files on the server. Make sure the files are named and distributed correctly within the structure.
Install Site Constituents
Generate the site pages in the format required (e.g., HTML, SGML, or PDF) using the content and executable files that comprise the site constituents. A small site may create the pages by hand but larger sites need to generate the pages dynamically and automatically to facilitate growth and maintenance.
Generate the site pages using an automated tool that formats the site constituents from their native formats to the target format, using information stored as attribute/value relationships in a knowledge base (e.g., relational database, or component object repository), along with templates and style sheets. Create links to inline media (e.g., on page graphics) and other Web pages.
Conduct Site Installation Tests
Test the links and interfaces between applications and ensure they work properly in the production environment. Use a software tool to identify broken links.
Tune the Server
Prepare graphics and other media for low-bandwidth transmission. Fine tune the files supplied by the site developers of the content and applications.

How to leash train your puppy
Info Guru, Catalogs.com
Rate This Article:
Thank You For Voting
These steps to leash train your puppy will get him walking like a champTraining your cute little puppy to walk on a leash is one of the most critical phases of dog obedience. The results, when done properly, can positively impact the way your new dog interacts with you and your family, on and off the leash.
The number one requirement, without question, is patience. Dog training requires repetition, that's how dogs learn, and leash training a puppy is no different. Before you get started, find a good pet supply store and select a collar that fits your puppy and a sturdy, six-foot leash.
Step 1
If you puppy hasn't seen a dog collar yet, get her used to having one around her neck before starting to leash train your puppy. If she's giving you a hard time, try putting it on when she's playing or eating. The distraction of another activity should be all you need to rope that doggie.
Don't be alarmed when she starts rolling around attempting to either chew it off or dislodge it in some other manner; it's normal. I know if some oversized bi-ped slapped a choker on me I'd try getting that thing off too, at least until I got used to it.
Step 2
Okay, now it's leash time. It's understandable that you want nothing but the best for the pooch, but avoid going out and buying the diamond encrusted, genuine crocodile skin leash; at least initially. A simple thin, lightweight non-leather leash will do just fine for now. You can gussy her up with a top-of-the-line collar later.
Once the leash is clipped on, let her wander around the house for a bit, supervised of course. She'll get used to having it on soon enough; which you'll know once she's forgotten about it.
Step 3
There a couple of things to keep in mind now that we're close to moving outside for our first jaunt on the leash. First, keep the initial forays short and fun with A LOT of praise for every minor coup. Next, understand the objective of leash training a puppy: your pup should walk along side you, not in front as if she's the alpha dog. Finally, don't pull on the leash if she's trying to go too fast; it can hurt her and end up pulling your arm out of the socket; a lose-lose situation.
It's walk time
Alright, let's go for a walk (with a pocketful of treats, by the way)!
Start by walking around the familiar environs of your home. If she decides to plop down and not move, resist the urge to pull her. Rather, call her over and wait until she comes, praising her and giving her a treat when she does. The same applies if she takes off like a rocket; don't yank her back, but simply stop and call her. When she comes to you, and she will eventually, praise her and toss a treat her direction. The same rules apply when you head outside for the first time.
That's all there is to leash training your puppy!
It will involve a lot of starting and stopping, at least at first; this is why patience takes a front seat. But you'll find the rewards of your effort well worth it; more enjoyable walks, safer for the little gal since she won't try and chase down cars, and leash training your puppy will set the tone for other training as she moves into adolescence.

This is a guest post from Robert Brokamp of The Motley Fool. Robert is a Certified Financial Planner and the adviser for The Motley Fool's Rule Your Retirement service. He contributes one new article to Get Rich Slowly every two weeks.
Unless your last name is Rockefeller, Hilton, or Walton (as in Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart — four of the seven richest Americans are Sam's heirs) chances are you had to work for the money you have. If you're not yet retired, you still have years of that work ahead of you. And you retirees aren't completely off the hook, either: Houses and cars need to be repaired, meals need to be cooked, and taxes need to be filed. If you don't do these things yourself, you'll have to pay someone else to do them.
Your ability to turn your labor into a paycheck — or to do things yourself, so you don't have to fund someone else's paycheck — is your "human capital." This combination of knowledge, experience, talents, work habits, and social skills is perhaps your most important income-producing asset (as I wrote in January).
I've been thinking a lot about "enhancing human capital†over the past couple of years, especially as we've entered the toughest employment environment since the early 1980s. Few people can take their jobs for granted. Too much can change: the economy, technology, competition, even health (affecting one's ability to do a job — approximately one-quarter of retirees stopped working due to health problems).
Then there's the question of how to grow your net worth these days. Cash and bonds are at decades-low yields, and we all know now that the stock market doesn't always go up. Thus, the asset we have the most control over is the one we take a shower with (assuming you do it alone, at least some of the time). A great career can result in a great retirement, because a higher income allows for more savings and retirement benefits.
But let's face it: Earning a higher paycheck isn't easy these days, so it takes deliberate planning, extra work, and perhaps bringing a higher-up into the shower. Since I'm not a human resources expert, I asked one of my Foolish colleagues — Angelique Keenley, Vice President of HR at The Motley Fool — for suggestions. She passed along these 11 ways to improve your income-producing capacity.
- Keep acquiring degrees and certifications. We can increase our human capital throughout our lives by getting more education and professional certifications and by doing other things that enhance our résumés. Which skills, professional designations, or degrees could you acquire that would make you more valuable? (Don't spend your time or money on just any old degree — get one that counts in your current or desired industry.)
- Join professional organizations and build a strong network. Higher-level positions are almost always filled by "someone who knew someone," not by a stranger applying for a job opening.
- Continue to seek out excellence in your field. We at The Motley Fool call it "deliberate study," and you don't attain it by just showing up and doing your job every day. Spend time reading blogs, attending conferences, and talking to others in your field who are smarter than you.
- Network inside your company. Don't pass up opportunities to have lunch with the CEO or other senior leadership. As well as making important friends, you'll learn things about the business that will make you more valuable — and help further your career.
- Get (or become) a mentor. Seek out someone you admire, either inside or outside your company, who would be interested in helping you grow. And look for ways to mentor those less experienced than you; besides the whole "good karma" thing, it's another way to demonstrate the value you add to your company.
- Stick around awhile. It's a good idea to stay with your company for at least two years before moving on. A résumé that shows a lot of jumping around can be a definite red flag.
- Work for little to nothing. If you're looking to make a career change, offer to serve as an intern for someone who's established in the profession you're interested in. You'll see what the job is really like, acquire a few skills, and begin making contacts. And you can always do altruistic volunteer work, even if you're unemployed. You may just meet your next employer there.
- Take on additional responsibilities. Employers hate it when someone says, "I'll only take on this additional responsibility if you raise my pay." They love it when you say, "I took this on three months ago, and this is the success I've brought to the company. Can we talk about a raise?" We know someone who took this approach; instead of the $1,200 raise a previous boss had promised, the person's new boss approved a $15,000 increase.
- Make a difference. Is there anything about your company you can point to and say, "This is all thanks to me" (besides the stains on the carpet)? What about the way you work would be hard to duplicate?
- Research the trends in your profession and industry. Keep an eye on relevant trade journals (you know, such thrilling real-life publications as Welding Journal, Pig International, Modern Brewery Age, Seed World, Professional Candy Buyer, and Portable Restroom Operator). You'll get the inside scoop on where your industry is headed.
- Become a do-it-yourselfer. Are you spending a lot of money on something you could learn to do yourself? Besides the monetary benefit, studies show that lifelong learners are less likely to suffer cognitive decline.
J.D.'s note: I'm a huge proponent of personal development. Your career is your most valuable asset, and by becoming a better worker (whether for yourself or for others), you boost your ability to earn. And that doesn't just pay off now — it pays off for decades to come. Here are some other articles on this subject from the GRS archives: "How I Gave Myself a Raise", "Five Steps to Six Figures in Seven Years".

FC Spartak Moskva have made their first major signing of the summer after securing midfielder Tino Costa from Valencia CF for a fee thought to be in the region of €7m.
The 28-year-old, capped twice by Argentina, has signed a long-term deal with the Russian side that finished fourth in the Premier-Liga last term. Costa will join compatriots Nicolás Pareja and Juan Insaurralde at Spartak and arrives with nine seasons of European football under his belt since starting out in the French lower leagues in 2004.
He broke through to the top flight with Montpellier-Hérault SC in 2008, but it was his move two years later to Valencia that brought him wider recognition. He made over 100 appearances for the club and was a regular starter in the Liga and UEFA Champions League, experience that will benefit Spartak ahead of their 2013/14 UEFA Europa League qualifying campaign.
"The club would like to wish the midfielder the best of luck on his latest journey. We thank him for his commitment and effort," Valencia said on their website

Claire Danes studies bipolar sufferers online to perfect her portrayal of top C.I.A. agent Carrie Mathison in TV drama Homeland.
The actress has won much acclaim for the role and she puts it all down to the amount of research she does.
She tells WENN, "I've got a stack of books by the bed - madness, bipolar I and II, and, you know, sanity, insanity, and I watch a lot of confessionals on YouTube.
"People who have this condition, bipolar, are often up late at night and have a lot of energy and a desire to talk and no one to talk to, so they talk to the camera and that's always very useful."

About Leading Successful Change
We live in a world where change is the norm rather than the exception.
The sad fact is that the majority of change efforts fail. Chances are that you have led, or been part of a change plan that has failed.
Why did it fail, and how can the next change be successfully implemented?
In Leading Successful Change, Greg Shea and Cassie Solomon demonstrate that change, real change, means changing behavior. Making behavioral change stick means changing the work environment — or, more precisely, the work systems that comprise the work environment.

Preliminary Monsoon 2015 Outlook for Pakistan
Using local, regional and global data sets up to April, a Preliminary Monsoon 2015 Outlook for Pakistan is prepared for June-July-August. Its salient features are given below:
- Pre-Monsoon showers are expected during second fortnight of June and monsoon will attain its normal rhythm gradually toward the end of July.
- In general, 2015 monsoon is expected weaker than normal, therefore less than normal rain is foreseen during June-August.
- Monsoon rains will mainly concentrate in AJK, Northeast Punjab and upper KP embedded with extreme precipitation events sometimes exceeding 200mm per day.
- Models are indicating some heavy falls in catchment of Kabul River in Pakistan and Afghanistan due to interaction of westerlies and monsoon currents.
- Due to less cloudiness and relatively clearer skies in GB, glacier melt rate will be higher. A careful operation of dams will be required to avoid the synchronous peak flows.
- In Sindh and Balochistan, rainfall during the period is expected to remain much less than normal which may aggravate the drought conditions in Thar and Cholistan.
CYCLONE ALERT Potential Cyclonic Activity in Arabian Sea
In Arabian Sea, the persistence of clouds shows an area of convection with a potential of development of a cyclonic circulation over there. Sea surface temperatures and upper air analysis also point toward the development of a deep low pressure area. The numerical models are continuously indicating such cyclonic activity in Arabian Sea at a distance of 1600 km south of Pakistan coast in next couple of days.
Preliminary Outlook for Monsoon 2014
Pakistan Summer Monsoon Season spans over July to September. As a routine practice, Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) issues the Monsoon Outlook around mid June incorporating the dynamics of local, regional and global meteorological parameters up to the end of May each year. However, South Asian Climate Outlook Forum (SASCOF-5) designated by World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has already issued Consensus Statement. Outlook made by this forum and preliminary outlook of PMD are presented below: South Asian Climate Outlook Forum (SASCOF-5) The outlook suggests that below normal to normal rainfall is most likely over South Asia as a whole. Below normal rainfall is likely over broad areas of western, Central and Southern parts of the South Asia and some areas in the northeastern-most parts of the region. Normal rainfall is likely over broad areas of northwestern and eastern parts and some island areas in the southern most part of the region. It is noteworthy that no part of the South Asia is likely to receive above normal rainfall. Preliminary Monsoon Outlook by PMD The emerging climatic features linked to El-Nino development have fairly large potential to suppress Pakistan Summer Monsoon 2014. According to the preliminary estimates of PMD, the amount of rainfall from July to September may be moderately below normal in Sindh, Balochistan and Southern Punjab while nearly normal rainfall is expected in North Punjab, KP, GB and Kashmir.
Weather Advisory- Monsoon 2012
Met Office predicted more monsoon rains over upper parts of the country during coming 4-5 days. Met Office informed that fresh monsoon currents have started to penetrate in Kashmir and adjoining areas of Punjab, which are likely to grip most of the upper parts of country during the weekend. A westerly wave is expected to approach northern parts of Pakistan on Saturday/Sunday.
