2. Stephen Baldwin Wants to be Taken Seriously. Seriously!
I have had the pleasure — if you want to call it that — of having watched Stephen Baldwin on not one, not two, not three, but four seasons of celebrity-themed reality television. That includes two seasons of Celebrity Mole — don't judge — and now two seasons of Celebrity Apprentice. Back in his Celebrity Mole Yucatan days (and yes, that was the name of an actual show which aired on network television), Baldwin was a merry prankster, getting into all sorts of mischief with partner-in-crime Corbin Bernsen. But the funny thing about Stephen Baldwin here is that he actually expects us to take him seriously! He dresses up in a slick suit, puts a lot of gel in his hair, and tries to look as smooth and intellectual as possible. "I'm looking forward to being just a sort of Gordon Gekko ruthless psycho, all rolled into one," he told us. However when it comes to instilling fear and respect, Baldwin is more on the level of the Geico gecko than Gordon Gekko.
Yet, still he tries. Evidently, part of Stevie B's act of convincing us how smart he is involves talking to everyone else like they are incompetent morons. "Stephen Baldwin is really funny," noted Penn Jillette during the task. "He does seem to think that everyone around him is breathtakingly stupid." No, breathtakingly stupid would seem to describe someone who failed to pay their New York State taxes for three years straight.
3. Love is in the Air
Trace Adkins keeps professing that he only agreed to come back on Celebrity Apprentice for one reason and one reason only: to raise money for the Red Cross. He keeps talking about how they helped him when his house burned down, blah, blah, blah. We now know that to be a complete lie…well, at least the part about only being there for the Red Cross. Because now it is perfectly clear why Trace really came back: to get his groove on with Susan Lucci!
Even before Lucci showed up to help Plan B with their task of creating a live soap opera to promote Crystal Light Liquid, Trace was insisting the last scene involve him making out with the 20-time Emmy loser (and 1-time winner). Then, when she did arrive, Mr. Grumpypants acted like he had been shot by Cupid's bow. "I appreciate beauty in any form," said Trace. "Good horse flesh, beautiful mountains, landscapes, and beautiful women." Look, I know a little bit about women. And if there is one thing they absolutely love, it is being compared to "good horse flesh." They're like putty in your hands after that.
But Trace had competition! Because riding the crest of his success in inducing a reciprocal low five from Mr. Trump, Arsenio sashayed into the Plan B war room. And what was the very first thing he did? Kiss Susan Lucci's hand! What sort of spell does Lucci have these men under?
The passion was spreading like wildfire! Next thing you know, Gary Busey was moving in to lock lips with Marilu Henner. Surely Marilu could not resist such a bold Busey advance. "You know what? I'm an actress. You can't imagine the people I've had to make out with. Some great ones. Burt Reynolds comes to mind. But not Gary Busey." Before we move off of this, which Burt Reynolds are we talking about? Is this 1983 Burt Reynolds, (who starred with Henner in The Man Who Loved Women), 1984 Burt Reynolds (who starred with Henner in Cannonball Run II) or 1990-1994 Burt Reynolds (who starred with Henner on Evening Shade)? Big difference. I need a little more info on this before I can come down with a complete ruling on how I feel about that name droppage. I'm sure Marilu can remember which one, because in case you didn't know, MARILU HENNER REMEMBERS EVERYTHING!

Common Entrance Exams
What are the Common Entrance exams?
The Common Entrance exams (11+ and 13+) are a set of rigorous, but not over stretching exams, supported by the majority of the UK's public schools.
Allowing student for this rigorous study at this age puts them at an advantage in developing exam technique, critical thinking, and their overall intellectual development, that not only allows them to flourish for their GCSE and A-Level exams but puts them in good stead for higher education also.
Common Entrance encourages students to consolidate their knowledge gained from their understanding of the subjects taught under the National Curriculum, whilst also enhancing their critical and analytical skills.
The examinations are challenging in a way that encourages the child to develop, in an academic manner, without being overcome.
A breakdown of the subjects that are assessed and how the exams are structured:
At the 11 plus stage, the child sits the core subjects of English, Maths, and Science.
English Common Entrance Exams:
For 11 and 13 plus, the English exam is composed of a reading and writing section, in which the child's understanding of poetry and prose will be examined.
Maths Common Entrance Exams
For Mathematics, children sitting the 11 plus exam will complete a one-hour paper following the guidelines of the National Curriculum, with no calculator.
For the 13 plus, a calculator and non-calculator exam will be sat, following a 30-minute mental math test. The Maths exam is split into three levels, according to the student's' current ability and test scores in class.
Science Common Entrance Exams:
The science exams test not only the students knowledge of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics but the cultural context of such disciplines. The exams follow the outline of the National Curriculum. For the 11 plus, students will complete a one-hour paper worth 80 marks. There will be no choice of questions so students should aim to complete each question.
For the 13 plus, the paper is also split into two levels. Students achieving higher marks in lessons will sit the one-hour paper, and students in Level 2 will sit a 40-minute paper.
For the 13 plus exam, students will also sit a variety of humanities and any languages they are studying.
A science exam at the 11+ and 13+ stages are not always compulsary.
Facts about Common Entrance and the British Education system
The British Education system favours depth over breadth. Especially in primary, therefore there is a focus on numeracy and literacy, which enables students to later flourish in their discovery of other subjects that is of interest to them.
The British Primary system is unique in that a student is able to develop a relationship with a single teacher. This helps the child's development and social skills, that they proceed to nurture when they enter secondary school, and can encounter a range of teaching personalities and inquisitive minds.
Independent Schools that offer the Common Entrance exam, provide children with an education which is outlined in the National Curriculum but offers a range of extracurricular activities, and access to a pedagogical spectrum that exceeds that recommended by the government.
The benefits of studying in the UK
The UK is an epicentre for intellectual and educational growth. Boasting four of the world's top ten universities (Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial and UCL), studying at a top school in the country puts children in good stead for their future development.
Hosting the economic hub of the world, London, studying anywhere in the UK allows students easy access to the capital city.
Here, individuals will be inspired by the variety of cultural and professional landmarks, offering students inspiration for their own progression. By gaining qualifications in the UK this will put you in an opportune position to enter a British University.
How can you best prepare for the Common Entrance exams?
By using practice papers, you can consolidate your knowledge and refine exam technique. Divide your topics into sizeable chunks, for example by using revision cards, and recite those cards to anyone who will listen!
It's important to dedicate time to the subjects you are weaker in, and not just those you enjoy the most.

Review: Altruism's influence on parental decision to vaccinate children is unclear
"If enough people are immunized against a particular disease, it prevents outbreaks of that disease and protects the community. This is known as herd immunity, and it's a very important benefit of childhood immunization," said Regenstrief Institute affiliated scientist S. Maria Finnell, M.D., M.S., IU School of Medicine assistant professor of pediatrics. "But as we are seeing more vaccine-hesitant parents, we need to better understand the factors that influence parents' decisions to immunize their children so that pediatricians can effectively communicate to them the importance of the recommended shots."
As a first step in their investigation, the researchers, led by Dr. Finnell, conducted a systematic evidence-based analysis of peer-reviewed studies on parental decision-making regarding child immunization and found no study designed with the primary focus on "benefit to others" as a motivating factor. Their findings are reported in "The Role of Herd Immunity in Parents' Decision to Vaccinate Children: A Systematic Review," published in the September issue of Pediatrics, the official peer-reviewed journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
"Studies have shown that benefit to others is an effective motivator for adults to vaccinate themselves," said Regenstrief Institute investigator Stephen M. Downs, M.D., M.S., associate professor of pediatrics and director of Children's Health Services Research at the IU School of Medicine. "However, our review determined that it is not known whether the role of herd immunity -- immunizing to benefit the community -- plays a role in parents' decision regarding immunizing their children."
Now that they have reviewed the medical literature and found it inconclusive, Drs. Finnell and Downs and their co-investigators are completing a study to determine whether varying how immunization messages are framed influences vaccine-hesitant parents.
In addition to Drs. Finnell and Downs, authors of the Pediatrics paper, for which there was no external funding, are Maheen Quadri-Sheriff, M.D., a former IU School of Medicine pediatrics resident, and Kristin S. Hendrix, Ph.D., Lynne A. Sturm, Ph.D., and Gregory D. Zimet, Ph.D., of the IU School of Medicine. Dr. Finnell has her clinical practice in the pediatric infectious disease clinic at Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health. Dr. Downs sees patients at Wishard Health Services.

When Apple released the iPhoto '11 version 9.1.1 update, one of the included features was to allow Microsoft Outlook users to send photos via e-mail through that program. Apple has in the past supported the use of Entourage, but the new Outlook e-mail client has a few different protocols and features and needed specific support. Unfortunately even though iPhoto is supposed to send e-mails through Outlook, a number of people are finding the feature broken.
Luckily the problem is not with iPhoto's coding, which would require Apple to recompile the program, but instead is with a crude implementation of the applescripts used to send photos to external e-mail clients. Apple apparently quickly changed the Entourage script to point to Outlook, and while it will launch Outlook, it will not manage the program properly and therefore results in an error.
Being a matter of scripting, you can edit the scripts to allow Outlook to be used. There are several approaches you can take, with some being quick ways to get Outlook working, and some extended steps to the same fix for cosmetic purposes, which allow iPhoto to properly display the "Microsoft Outlook" name in the program's settings.
The fixes will require editing of a couple of files within iPhoto, so first be sure to back them up. Right-click the iPhoto application and choose "Show package contents" to see the program's resource structure. Then copy the following three items to the Desktop or another safe location from within the program's package:
/Contents/Resources/Scripts/Microsoft Entourage.scpt
/Contents/Resources/Scripts/Microsoft Entourage.tif
Once these files are backed up, you can perform the basic fix to get Outlook working, and you can then optionally perform additional steps to get the "Microsoft Outlook" name to appear properly in iPhoto.
The basic fix
This is the basic fix to get Outlook working, and it will involve modifying the current Entourage script to properly handle the Outlook application by adding one missing line and modifying another. Unfortunately by default the program's permissions are set to not allow users to edit these files, so we must first alter the permissions of the script and its enclosing folder (this will not harm the program).
Go to the /Resources/Scripts/ folder and get information on it (select it and press Command-I).
Click the lock at the bottom of the information window, and then click the plus button to add your username to the list
Give your username both read and write permissions, and close the window.
Do the same for the "Microsoft Entourage.scpt" file within this folder
Now that the script is editable, we will modify it with the following steps to properly handle Microsoft Outlook 2011:
Open the "Microsoft Entourage.scpt" file (should open with Script Editor).
Locate the line at the top that reads:
set the new_message to make new draft window with properties {subject:email_subject}
Replace the words "draft window" with "outgoing message"
Next locate the lines that look like the following (they are about two-thirds down the script):
set the content to content & sig
end tell
end tell
Add the line "open new_message" between the two "end tell" lines so it looks like the following:
set the content to content & sig
end tell
open new_message
end tell
Save the file and quit applescript editor.
When this s done, relaunch iPhoto and ensure Entourage is chosen in the e-mail preferences. Then try e-mailing a photo again and the program should properly launch Outlook and create a message containing the photo.
Extended fix option 1: Change the name in iPhoto from "Entourage" to "Outlook"
At this point e-mailing photos with Outlook should work, even though in iPhoto the program is still referred to as "Entourage." To change this, you will have to edit the script again and change all references of "Microsoft Entourage" to "Microsoft Outlook" and save the file. Then rename the file and its corresponding .tif file to "Microsoft Outlook," followed by editing the /Contents/Resources/ClientAppSignatures.plist file (located up one directory from the scripts) and changing the "Microsoft Entourage" reference in there to "Microsoft Outlook," so the entry in this file looks like the following:
<key>Microsoft Outlook</key>
With these changes implemented and saved, relaunch iPhoto, and the program should now properly show the "Microsoft Outlook" name as the e-mail client it is using in the preferences.
Extended fix option 2: Re-enable an "Entourage" option in iPhoto
With the Extended fix option 1 implemented, the program will refer to the name "Microsoft Outlook;" however, it will not have an option for the Entourage program anymore. If you are using Outlook, then it is likely you are no longer using Entourage, but if you want the option to select and use Entourage, then perform the following additional steps:
Locate the backed up files on your Desktop, and copy the script and its corresponding .tif file back to the "Scripts" folder in the iPhoto application package (these files should be called "Microsoft Entourage").
Ensure you have read and write permissions on the script file, and then open it
Locate the line at the top that reads:
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
Change the words "Microsoft Outlook" to "Microsoft Entourage" and save the file
Now go up one directory from the "Scripts" folder and open the file "ClientAppSignatures.plist"
In this file, duplicate the lines that read as follows so the file contains two of them:
<key>Microsoft Outlook</key>
Change the name of one of these entries to "Microsoft Entourage" so these entries look something like the following:
<key>Microsoft Outlook</key>
<key>Microsoft Entourage</key>
Save and close the file.
At this point when you relaunch iPhoto the "Entourage" option should now be available for use if you have the program installed, so you can switch between these two e-mail clients if you would like.

Seattle farmers markets have accepted food stamps since 1995, but benefit transactions still account for a microscopically small portion of purchases. While the figure varies by market and from week-to-week, the Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance estimates fewer than 2 percent of its sales involve Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards.
The situation isn't unique to Seattle: While the USDA recognizes that maximizing the use of food stamps at farmers markets improves low-income households' access to "fresh, nutritious foods," redemption rates nationwide fell steadily from 1993 through 2009, when a mere .01 percent of benefits were spent at farmers markets. "Historically, the percent of farmers' market redemption is very small," the USDA reported in 2010.
But the city of Seattle and the Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance are now hoping to significantly improve local statistics by doubling the value of purchases made with EBT cards. The Fresh Bucks program, which debuted last week and runs through Oct. 1, matches participating shoppers' daily purchases up to $10. According to spokesperson Krista Ulatowski, the goal is to double the average number of EBT transactions at each market. A similar coupon program in Abingdon, Va., sparked the spending of $2,562 in benefits over five months at a market that hadn't previously been authorized to accept food stamps.
"Fresh Bucks increases the purchasing power of low-income Seattle residents while introducing new customers to the small and midsize farmers who sell at our farmers markets," says Seattle Deputy Mayor Darryl Smith.
Many low-income shoppers learn about farmers markets through statewide nutrition programs, but Ulatowski says budget cuts have limited the scope of their promotional efforts. "What's exciting about this program is that the grant is providing additional funding for outreach to social-service agencies, as well as printed and translated material," she says.
The Fresh Bucks program is funded by JPMorgan Chase, the Seattle Foundation, and the Washington State Department of Agriculture's Specialty Crop Block Grant Program. If funding hasn't been depleted by October, the program will be extended.
At the federal level, the United States Department of Agriculture this spring announced a $4 million program to increase food-stamp usage at farmers markets. Since the 2004 introduction of the paperless benefits system created new challenges for markets which couldn't afford— or, in certain cases, plug in—the required EBT terminals, the money is earmarked for the purchase of wireless point-of-sale equipment.
"Increasing farmers-market participation in the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) furthers several worthy goals, including: increasing the variety of healthy and nutritious foods available to SNAP participants, aiding the American farmer, and supporting local economies," the department explained when announcing the program.

A Hug Made It Come True!
In any place at any time you will be in my heart!
In any case for any reason, you will be my love!
Till death tears us apart you will be
the reason I want to stay breathing!
With just a look in your eyes, you can
take my mind, soul and heart to the sky.
I hate our dates because there is a point
Where they will have to come to an end!
When they end I wish they never started
because the pain of missing is more painful than the excitement of meeting!
In 'The Heat' a hand hold, a look in the eye
and a kiss on the cheek made my heart ...

The departure of the Minister of the Environment, John Cortes, to London for a series of meetings has been seized upon by the Spanish media as proof positive that London is going to give Gibraltar a good kicking over allowing the fishermen from Algeciras and La Lnea to use the Rocks waters.
I have no idea why Minister Cortes is in London other than for a wide range of meetings relating to his various portfolios. The majority of these encounters have nothing to do with fishing although I do not doubt this matter will be raised. The minister will also be following in the footsteps of other members of the government who have attended events linked to the presence of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment on duty at Buckingham Palace.
Hence the idea in some Spanish publications that Cortes has been summoned to London to be ordered to allow the fisherman back seems well wide of the mark.
However having said that the Foreign Office will be chewing the rug over any conflict between Madrid and Gibraltar over the territorial waters and will want to avoid any escalation at all costs. As Gibraltar has no fishing fleet to speak of the London view will be why not allow the local Spanish boats in, whats the harm? No doubt John Cortes, having been labelled a mere gardener by Caruana, will in this row call a spade a spade to the great discomfort of the flunkies in Whitehall.
The notion that Britain is going to call to order Gibraltar in this conflict comes from no lesser source than Spains foreign minister, Garca-Margallo. He has stated that he recently met with the British Ambassador to Madrid, Giles Paxman, and both governments want a prompt solution. At the meeting was Spains minister of agriculture, food and the environment, Miguel Arias Caete and that eternal friend of Gibraltar the Cdiz MP and mayor of Algeciras, Jos Ignacio Landaluce. That being the case then who spoke for Gibraltar? I suspect nobody!
Garca-Margallo added that he did not want a conflict with Gibraltar and hoped that good sense would be imposed. Imposed by whom?
Some reports that I have read in the Spanish media talk of Gibraltar recently having changed the rules under which the fishermen from Algeciras and La Lnea could use our waters. Of course Fabian Picardo and his team have done no such thing. They are simply enforcing the laws of Gibraltar that the previous chief minister Peter Caruana was bullied in to abandoning. The law the government and the Royal Gibraltar Police are upholding is the law passed by our parliament.
What surprised me in these reports is that they talked of 300 Andaluca fishermen being denied access to Gibraltars waters. Three hundred? Is that fishermen or boats? I had always presumed we were talking of a small number not 300.
It is possible that Gibraltar in discussions with the fishermen can introduce a system that honours the existing law and the integrity of the Rocks waters, that governs the type of nets that can be used as well as the fish that can be caught. It can be an accord based on practicalities.
The problem is that once Garca-Margallo sticks his oar in the row becomes something else altogether. As Spain takes the view that Gibraltar has no territorial waters the logical stance of Madrid is that its fishermen can go where they like. To accept that Gibraltar has some control over them surely is tacit admission that the waters are ours as international law dictates.
So the Foreign Office and Giles Paxman have to play their hands very carefully. Britain and Gibraltar rule the waves around the Rock and in the context of enforcing its environmental laws it is the Gibraltar Government that holds sway. If that upsets Garca-Margallo, Paxman and the Foreign Office, so be it.

Several Blue Cross Blue Shield units, Arizona, Kansas, North Dakota, Wyoming and New York, have asked to be dismissed from four class actions in multidistrict litigation (MDL) accusing the insurer of anti-competitive behavior, saying that they have no significant ties to Alabama, where the litigation is centered. According to Defendants, the "Plaintiffs cannot allege such facts because moving Defendants meet none of the indicia of substantially transacting business in the Northern District of Alabama." This most recent motion stated.
They do not solicit or advertise in the district. They have no employees or representatives who are located in the district. They do not have offices or own real property in the district. They do not exercise control over any subsidiary or affiliate who transacts business there. They do not offer insurance or other products in the district.
Even if all of this is true, the MDL court has already denied a motion to dismiss filed by these very same Defendants. In fact, the Defendants made these very same arguments.
The MDL was created in 2012, when nine antitrust actions in Alabama, North Carolina, and Tennessee were consolidated in the Northern District of Alabama. At the time of the 2012 order creating the MDL, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association's business model created 38 separate Blue plans operating in local areas nationwide under the company's brand, providing health insurance to approximately 100 million subscribers. The lawsuits generally contend that under normal market conditions the companies would compete against one another, but have instead allocated among themselves regional health insurance markets in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
This recently filed motion to dismiss is not the first time these same Defendants have sought to be dismissed from the case on personal jurisdiction grounds. In fact, Judge Proctor, who is overseeing the MDL, denied an earlier motion to dismiss on Oct. 30, 2015. The court's earlier ruling commented that Plaintiffs were willing to stipulate that the defense was not waived and could be decided after the cases were remanded to their home courts, but that the Defendants declined to agree, instead choosing to push for dismissal.
In the October 2015 order, Judge Proctor also noted that because of the peculiar nature of the MDL proceeding, even should he determine that personal jurisdiction was lacking in some of the class actions as to the moving Defendants, each moving Defendant had filed an answer (instead of a motion to dismiss) in at least one of the cases. Specifically, Judge Proctor noted:
[e]ach of the Moving Defendants, by filing an Answer (rather than a Motion to Dismiss) in at least one of the cases conditionally transferred to this MDL, has conceded that they are properly participating in the MDL through at least one case.
Therefore, if the court granted the motions to dismiss, the Defendants would remain in the case and before the MDL court. In light of the desire to preserve judicial time and resources, rather than continue to brief and address an issue that would have no effect on the MDL proceeding, Judge Proctor denied the earlier motions to dismiss without prejudice and entered an order stating that the Defendants' personal jurisdiction and venue defenses are "DEEMED PRESEREVED to be addressed by [the MDL] court immediately prior to remand, or by the respective transferor courts after remand."
In light of the MDL court's clear ruling in October of last year, we expect the MDL Court to deny the motions to dismiss. If you need more information, contact Rebecca Gilliland at 800-898-2034 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The History
In the 1920s, the idea of personality type was being explored by leading scientists and philosophers. A Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung, wrote Psychological Types during that time, in which he gave a detailed description of what has now become one of the most widely used typologies in the world.
In the 1940s, Isabel Myers began developing a self-report questionnairethe Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® instrumentthat could help people find where they fit in Jung's theory. The use of this instrument has led to an almost universal understanding that there are sixteen basic personality types, each of which can be 'named' by a four-letter personality type code.
Jung first noticed that people seemed fundamentally different in terms of whether they were more extraverted, oriented to the external world of people and experiences outside themselves, or introverted, oriented to their internal worlds of thoughts, ideas, feelings, and memories. Then he noticed more differences in terms of what people were doing in each of those worlds. These he called "functions." They are now thought of as cognitive processes.
Using metaphors for names, Jung described two kinds of cognitive processesperception and judgment. Sensation and Intuition were the two kinds of perception.

He said that every mental act consists of using at least one of these four cognitive processes. Then he described eight personality types that were characterized by using one of the processes in either the extraverted or introverted world; extraverted Sensing types, introverted Sensing types, extraverted iNtuiting* types, introverted iNtuiting types, extraverted Thinking types, introverted Thinking types, extraverted Feeling types, and introverted Feeling types. He also suggested that these processes operate not just as the dominant process in a personality but also in other ways.
As Isabel Myers and her mother, Katharine Briggs, began to craft a self-report instrument, they faced several challenges. They had to take what Jung had seen as an integrated whole personality pattern and try to figure out how to ask questions to get at that whole. They chose to focus on Jung's notion of opposites and force choices between equally valuable psychological opposites. They also added a dichotomy to help reveal the type pattern. The result was sixteen types, each indicated by a four-letter code such as ENFP or ISTJ.
Type as a Whole Pattern,
Not Just Four Letters
The purpose of this website is to help you understand how the type codes represent patterns of how we use the eight cognitive processesextraverted Sensing, introverted Sensing, extraverted iNtuiting, introverted iNtuiting, extraverted Thinking, introverted Thinking, extraverted Feeling, and introverted Feeling.
INFORMATION-ACCESSING PROCESSESPerception
Sensing: Experiencing the
immediate context; taking action in

experiences; scanning for visible

|Introverted Sensing: Reviewing past experiences; "what is" evoking "what was"; seeking detailed information and links to what is known; recalling stored impressions; accumulating data; recognizing the way things have always been. Remembering the last time you wore a particular item or the last time you were at a similar eventmaybe even remembering how you felt then.
|Extraverted iNtuiting: Interpreting situations and relationships; picking up meanings Super Conveniente Asos Curve Cintura Boyfriend Per Vita E Fianch and interconnections; being drawn to change "what is" for "what could possibly be"; noticing what is not said and threads of meaning emerging across multiple contexts. Noticing the possible meanings of what you might wear: "Wearing this might communicate "
|Introverted iNtuiting: Foreseeing implications and likely effects without external data; realizing "what will be"; conceptualizing new ways of seeing things; envisioning transformations; getting an image of profound meaning or far-reaching symbols. Envisioning yourself in an outfit or maybe envisioning yourself being a certain way.
ORGANIZING-EVALUATING PROCESSESJudgment
|Extraverted Thinking: Segmenting; organizing for efficiency; systematizing; applying logic; structuring; checking for consequences; monitoring for standards or specifications being met; setting boundaries, guidelines, and parameters; deciding if something is working or not. Sorting out different colors and styles; thinking about the consequences, as in "Since I have to stand all day "
|Introverted Thinking: Analyzing; categorizing; evaluating according to principles and whether something fits the framework
|Extraverted Feeling: Connecting; considering others and the group-organizing to meet their needs and honor their values and feelings; maintaining societal, organizational, or group values; adjusting to and accommodating others; deciding if something is appropriate or acceptable to others. Considering what would be appropriate for the situation: "One should or shouldn't wear " or "People will think "
|Introverted Feeling: Valuing; considering importance and worth; reviewing for incongruity; evaluating something based on the truths on which it is based; clarifying values to achieve accord; deciding if something is of significance and worth standing up for.

What is it?
The Gary Fong Lightsphere Collapsible is a flexible, portable flash diffuser that builds upon the success of the already popular standard Lightsphere. Its purpose is to soften the light coming from your hot shoe mounted flash in order to give more natural looking flash photos. It does this by bouncing the light around the Lightsphere, sending it out in all directions, in order to create less shadows and provide a more accurate color rendition in your images. It is designed to fit almost any flash that has a swiveling head.
- slide 2 of 6
Design and Build QualityRating
The design of the Lightsphere Collapsible is simple but clever. It has a similar conical shape that mimics the original Lightsphere, but it has been refined slightly in order to help it fold in on itself for easy storage. Attaching it to your flash is not difficult and is based around some flexible, yet grippy, rubber teeth on the inside of the diffuser. These teeth are the key to the Collapsible's universal fit among flashes. They also provide a strong grip that will ensure that the Lightsphere does not come off by accident when you are in a hurry or need it most. If you like to work with a variety of diffusers, be aware that removing the Collapsible will take longer than some rival products, but it does have the advantage of being able to fold flat on your camera if you want to use direct or unmodified bounce flash. I used the Collapsible on a Metz 48 AF-1 and it was a great fit, but the design of this diffuser means that it can work with a whole variety of brands and flash sizes.
- slide 4 of 6
Ease of UseRating
Essentially, this is an easy to use accessory. You tilt your flash head into the upright position and simply push it on. Most people will be able to work that out for themselves, but what about the ring and the dome that comes with the Lightsphere? Well, instructions are included to help with that but they are clearly designed for an international market. That is, there are no written instructions, simply a collection of pictures to help describe to you how you should use the Lightsphere Collapsible in a variety of shooting conditions. A better introduction might be the videos you can find on the Gary Fong website. In these, the creator takes you through the concepts behind the Lightsphere and offers some suggestions on how you might use it.
- slide 5 of 6
Is it better than direct flash? Yes. Is it better than regular bounced flash? Most of the time. In my own portrait tests I often found that the Lightsphere Collapsible did a great job at rendering a more flattering lighting. In a few scenarios, the differences between bounced flash and the Lightsphere seemed negligible, but overall the Gary Fong diffuser did give better results. The lighting was softer and skin tones looked more natural. Given time, and the chance to experiment, I expect that you would find the same results. It is something that takes a little bit of getting used to, but not something that will take you a whole lot of time to figure out.
- slide 6 of 6
Overall ValueRating
Currently, you can buy the Gary Fong Lightsphere Collapsible from Amazon for $56.15. This might seem a lot for a piece of molded rubber, but there are few better ways to achieve the effects that this product can offer. If you are serious about flash photography, then the portable Lightsphere Collapsible could be just what you are looking for.

In the U.S., more than 18 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes, over one million are living with HIV, and every year, 7.6 million lives are lost to cancer world wide.
They are considered the biggest of killers but could there be cures on the horizon?
Today is world cancer day.
The Empire State Building lit up in blue and orange to mark the global event. Here locally, we are one-on-one with one woman's brave story of fight and survival.
"I had acute Mytocitic Leukemia — AML. Now, hopefully I'm cancer free forever," says Anita Finnegan.
Cancer free — the two words Anita Finnegan never thought she would live to say, because seven years ago, Anita was knocking at death's door.
"They told me I was 98% leukemic, that I had maybe 12 or 24 hours left of life," Finnegan says.
It was a frightening final countdown that came out of the blue for this local artist who considered herself the picture of good health.
Flu-like symptoms led Anita to believe she was just under the weather, but her doctor's diagnosis was far worse than she could ever imagine.
Anita immediately began grueling, around-the-clock chemotherapy, before putting her life and hope in a special Southern California medical center with cutting edge research facilities and the highest survival rates for bone marrow transplant patients in the country.
City of Hope helped turn Anita's terminal timeline around.

Thanks for your feedback!
Good ReadI liked Emma but she was a little too much for me. She was just overly sweet and kind of naïve. I had an idea of some of the things that happened to her. She was the type of person who was shocked that bad things happen to people. I liked Aiden. He had a very rough past (which was revealed slowly throughout the story). I can understand his love for dogs and why he was so closed off. I did like them together though. I thought they were good together and despite the things I didn't like about her she was a perfect match to Aiden. One thing I did not like about Aiden was that he wanted Emma but he didn't want her. He was too confused. Then when the story was getting into kind of a lull for me some things happened that had me like WHAT??? Then something happened near the end that had me like what??? The first reveal in my opinion brought something more to the book. It gave some backstory on the history between Emma's mom and Aiden. I think this was needed. I really liked the flow of that reveal. The other thing closer to the end was just too much for me. I didn't care for that part of the story. I can see what the author was trying to do but it was just outlandish in my opinion. I can see how certain things may have been swept under the rug years ago but this thing was never going to fly. Overall I think this was a good read. Even thought I had a few issues, I think other readers would like this story.by Danielle A. on July 24, 2017

Thanks for your feedback!
Wonderful bookM.K. Schiller - a new-to-me author - delivers an almost perfect New Adult romance with The Scars Between Us. Emma Cooper's mother has passed away and left her a rather cryptic set of instructions: find a Mr. Aiden Sheffield, and convince him to come to the small town of Linx, Texas, to scatter her ashes. Intriguing, no? Well, I thought so, and it only gets more intriguing as you read and begin to wonder just what exactly is the connection between Aiden and Emma's mother... I really enjoyed this book. If it weren't for that pesky needing to sleep thing, I'd have read it in one sitting. It immediately draws you in with the question of who the heck is Aiden, and once you actually meet Aiden and see the instant chemistry between him and Emma, you just won't want to stop reading until you find out everything there is to know. Physically, Aiden sounded absolutely divine, and the swoon factor in this book is pretty darn high. Also, the fact that he rescues dogs was an instant hit with me - love dogs. I wasn't really fussed about the cage fighter aspect, but since this book only covers a few days, that wasn't really a part of the story anyway. Character-wise, at first glance Aiden appears to have the stereotypical brooding hot guy with a back-story thing going on, but as I read on, I found it was all done really well and didn't seem at all contrived. Once you actually know Aiden's story, you'll definitely accept he has every right to brood and be a little Negative Nancy now and then. His problems are not superficial, and I thought this part of the story was tragic but fascinating. As for Emma, she was fun. It might seem as though her characterisation wasn't as detailed or as interesting as Aiden's, simply because she's generally just a nice girl who's lived a happy, normal life. We, as readers, live through her rose-tinted outlook and experience each new revelation in this book as yet another blow to the happy bubble she's previously existed in. The romance I thought was pretty perfect. Although the attraction for both was instant, they don't hop to it so soon you're not emotionally prepared for it (hate it when authors do that). No, I was definitely invested in them both by the time the first kiss happened. I did lots of grinning and even laughed aloud a few times at the dialogue. So cute. I'm now going to explain what I meant when I said it was almost perfect, and because this is quite subjective, I thought I'd leave it until the end. So, having read quite a few NAs at this point, I've come to expect them to be intensely emotional reads, and for there to be at least a section of the book, usually towards the end, that completely emotionally destroys me. That has me lying like a quivering pile of heartbroken goop on the floor, unable to process all the feelings. I'm sure if you're interested in reading this book, you've probably already read a few of them yourself. Those awsome, stomach-dropping "Oh my God" moments that just kill you. In fact, since the cover art keeps reminding me of Travis Maddox, we could easily use Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire as a perfect example of a New Adult book that gut punches you repeatedly until you're crying out for mercy. Now, you see, I like that. Love it, in fact. And in this genre, I kinda expect it now, too. That's not to say this book didn't produce feels, it did. But just not to the heart-shredding degree I crave when I'm in the mood for this genre. Schiller instead opted to keep it more tense and action-y, which is her right to do so, of course. I guess what I'm saying is, I have no actual complaints about what was in this book, but for me, there was just that little something missing from it that kept it from being a 5 star read. Because I'm apparently a masochist. Still, if you're an NA junkie, maybe a book that's not quite so emotionally draining could be a welcome relief every now and then! Overall, The Scars Between Us was wonderful book, and I'll definitely be checking out this author's future reads. 4 Stars ★★★★ A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.by A Bookish Life on July 17, 2017

M.K. writes THE BEST heroes!!!M.K. writes THE BEST heroes!!! She also writes some of THE BEST books I've ever read. I'm a HUGE fan, and I don't even read the synopsis of her books before I start reading; I know that if she wrote it, it's going to be absolutely freaking AMAZING. This book was absolutely freaking AMAZING. In addition to writing the best heroes, M.K. has a talent for writing love. The feels-like-you-got-hit-in-the-chest-your-heart-hurts, I'll-never-forget-this-part-of-this-book-EVER kind of love. Each one of M.K.'s books has parts like that, and I can recite each and every one from her books that I have read. And some I've read months, maybe years ago! The love Aiden and Emma had for each other was nothing short of unconditionally beautiful. I can't even put into words how much I loved each of them, but especially Aiden. You want a tortured hero who knows exactly what unconditional love is? Who fights and sacrifices for the woman he loves? Aiden. You will LOVE Aiden. And holy plot twists! This story was CRAZY! I was absolutely NOT expecting so many "But wait! There's more!" moments, and I NEVER saw them coming, but WOW this book is fantastic. You'll be SHOCKED at how this plays out! I LOVED this book and I just know you'll love it too! (I received a copy of this book in consideration of an honest review)by Lauren (Romance Novel Giveaways) on July 17, 2017

What an unexpected gemNew to MK Schiller, I wasn't sure what to expect, what I got was another author in my life to fangirl over. What a truly inspirational read. The story follows Emma Cooper shortly after her world has been turned upside down following the death of her mother and the loss of her family home. Fulfilling her mother's dying wish to scatter her ashes on a river in Texas with a complete stranger, she goes on the road trip of all road trips. A road trip that will change her life forever. Aiden Sheffield didn't have a good upbringing in any sense of the word, but with a stint in the marines and his current job working with dogs, he's found his lot in life. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when Emma walks into it bringing his tumultuous past right back with her. A story of tragedy, love, loss and determination. Beautifully written in dual POV, we follow their tormented journey to the place that started it all. With some gruelling scenes, some super sexy scenes and some emotional scenes this book had me gripped rom the very first chapter, and oh, what an explosive end. I sure hope there aren't too many towns like Linx, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, evil does exist, and it lives in Linx. A sexy, heartwarming, highly emotional read. I loved it. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.by LilleyLoohLah on July 17, 2017

Antibiotics are an important means of treating infections and diseases caused by bacteria, such as pneumonia, strep throat or urinary tract infections. Antibiotics work by killing harmful bacteria. Since their introduction in the mid-twentieth century, antibiotics have saved millions of lives.
Bacteria living in the large intestine (collectively known as the 'microbiome') are essential for healthy functioning of the gut. A person with a healthy microbiome has many different types of bacteria that all work together to help the gut function properly.

Mitt Romney names Paul Ryan his vice presidential running mateMitt Romney tapped Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin as his vice presidential running mate on Saturday, turning to the architect of a conservative and intensely controversial long-term budget plan to remake Medicare and cut trillions in federal spending.
Republican vice presidential pick Paul Ryan brings a wealth of substantive ideas on economic policy to presidential nominee Mitt Romney's ticket. But those same ideas also pose a risk to Romney, who can no longer distance himself from Ryan's controversial proposals, such as creating a voucher system for Medicare.
On Sunday, a day after Romney chose Ryan, the Wisconsin representative and chairman of the House Budget Committee, as his running mate, the Ryan budget plan already took on a central role in the debate. On the talk show circuit, Democrats said Ryan's proposals would help the wealthy while harming seniors and taxing the middle class. Republicans responded that Romney and Ryan have laid out clear proposals to fix the country's fiscal situation – something they say Democratic President Barack Obama has not done.
Speaking on "FOX News Sunday," Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz seized on the specifics of Ryan's budget plan and charged that Ryan's plan would "shred the safety net for seniors" on Medicare and leave seniors with gaps in insurance coverage.
"Whether Ryan one or son of Ryan," Wasserman Schultz said, referring to two iterations of Ryan's budget plan, "You're still going to leave seniors in a dire situation."
But Sen. John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, responded to criticism of Ryan's ideas on CNN's "State of the Union," saying that Obama has cut Medicare – Obama's Affordable Care Act includes savings from slowing the growth in Medicare spending – while Ryan has come up with a plan to save it.
Thune said Ryan will be the best messenger to help Americans understand the need to reform entitlements. "The biggest risk for the country is doing nothing, that's what ends Medicare as we know it," Thune said. "Paul Ryan, to his credit … has come up with a plan that puts Medicare on a more sustainable fiscal path going forward."
Peter Ubertaccio, chairman of the Department of Political Science and International Studies at Stonehill College, said Ryan's strength is also his weakness. "He is a substantive policy guy who's put forward a pretty detailed, well thought out budget plan that focuses like a laser on entitlements, and he's widely viewed as thoughtful and knowledgeable about the budget," Ubertaccio said.
At the same time, Ubertaccio said, "(Ryan) has put forward a pretty controversial budget plan and the Democrats are going to seize on his plan, seize on his words in the past when he's been promoting it…to attempt to suggest that he's way outside the mainstream."
Key features of Ryan's plan include a "voucher system" for Medicare for those currently under age 55, in which government would pay seniors subsidies to buy private insurance. Ryan's plan would give Medicaid money to the states as block grants. It would make major cuts to nearly every area of government spending. And it would simplify the tax code in ways that include lowering the top tax rate and eliminating various loopholes and deductions. (Read more about Ryan's budget plan in U.S. News and World Report.)
Obama senior adviser David Axelrod, speaking on CNN, called Ryan a "right wing ideologue" based on his positions and his budget. Ryan's budget, Axelrod charged, "would include trillions of dollars of new tax cuts skewed to the wealthy… while we're cutting college aid for kids, and research and development, and a whole range of things that we need to grow." Axelrod said Romney himself – whose net worth is pegged at up to $250 million – would pay just 1 percent of his income in taxes under changes proposed by Ryan, compared to the 13.9 percent he pays now.
Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter, on CBS' "Face the Nation," called the Ryan budget a plan "for redistributing wealth to the top."
Republicans, on the other hand, defended Ryan's proposals and said the selection of Ryan shows that Romney is willing to have a substantive conversation about the economy.
"He's made it clear that this is going to be a campaign about big issues and about very different contrasting visions for the future of this country," Thune said. "It's a risk for President Obama to have someone like a Romney-Ryan ticket, where you've actually laid out definitive solutions and answers to America's problems."
Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom said Romney's selection of Ryan was a "big, bold, courageous choice" that indicates that Romney wants to address both the "jobs crisis" and the "fiscal crisis" in the country, and that Romney will be running an "issues-oriented" campaign. Romney has been hurt in recent days by the Obama campaign's attacks on Romney's work at Bain Capital, his offshore assets and his refusal to release multiple years of tax returns.
Romney's campaign has said he will be putting forth his own plan for the economy, rather than adopting the Ryan plan in its entirety. Tim Vercellotti, associate professor of political science at Western New England University, said the selection of Ryan means Romney will have a difficult line to draw in saying he believes Ryan is the best vice presidential candidate but does not fully embrace his budget. "The underlying argument is running mates can differ on issues," Vercellotti said. "Whether voters will find that satisfactory or not is an unanswered question right now."
Jeffrey Berry, political science professor at Tufts University, said Romney had been fading in the polls and the Ryan selection "shakes up the campaign a bit."
The Wall Street Journal in an editorial said Romney's choice "made it more likely that the election debate will be as substantial as America's current problems." USA Today called it a "bold" ticket, pointing to Ryan's knowledge of federal finances and "the sheer force of his ideas for reshaping the role of government." The New York Times blog, "The Caucus" pointed out that Ryan will bring excitement from the Tea Party wing of the GOP to the Romney ticket.
That said, Berry noted that Ryan – unlike, for example, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman – is unlikely to help Romney carry a swing state. Obama has led in the polls in Wisconsin by at least five points throughout the race, according to data compiled by the Real Clear Politics website, and Ryan has never run a statewide race there. Berry said Ryan may weaken Romney in Florida and Pennsylvania, swing states with disproportionate numbers of elderly residents who could be frightened by Democratic warnings of the danger Ryan poses to Medicare.
Berry said voters do not cast ballots based on the vice presidential candidate. But Ubertaccio said Ryan's selection could change the nature of the race.
"The race has been notable for its smallness (so far)," Ubertaccio said. "The big issues have not really been discussed or debated or dissected. Ryan is a policy guy through and through and he's put forward some big ideas about budget and entitlements in particular. These ideas are controversial, but they're substantive, and my guess is we're going to start focusing on those very big issues."

Following a strategic review evaluating a wide range of options—including divestment—officials at top miner Rio Tinto have announced a decision to retain their diamond mining businesses. Rio Tinto Diamonds and Minerals CEO Alan Davies said consideration of "robust medium- to long-term market fundamentals" drove the decision, along with "growing demand for luxury goods in Asia" and "continuing strong demand in North America."
"We have valuable, high-quality diamond businesses that are well positioned to capitalize on the positive market outlook," he said in a statement.
Currently, Rio operates a 100%-integrated diamonds business from exploration through to sales and marketing, and is a top diamond producer through its wholly-owned Argyle mine in Australia, 60% of Canada's Diavik mine and a 78% stake in Zimbabwe's Murowa mine. The mines allow Rio to produce diamonds for all market segments. Rio also has an advanced diamond project in India.
Rio's production share from the three operating diamond mines is sold via its sales and marketing headquarters in world diamond capital Antwerp, Belgium, with representative offices in Mumbai, Hong Kong and New York. Rio also operates a niche cutting and polishing factory in Perth, Australia, for rare pink diamonds from Argyle.
