Head of Fundraising and Communications, David Boorman
The newest member of the leadership team, David joined Bliss as Head of Fundraising and Communications in October 2016. With 10 years' experience in fundraising and marketing, David has worked with charities such as Marie Curie, Muscular Dystrophy UK and the National Autistic Society to develop income growth and brand strategies across a number of fundraising streams and audiences. David also has an MSc in Charity Fundraising and Marketing from City University and sits on the advisory panel of fundraising think-tank Rogare.
David says: "It's such an exciting time to be at Bliss. With an ambitious new strategy to reach every baby born premature or sick each year, we need the support of all the fantastic people who donate money or take on a challenge more than ever. But the hard work carried out by all of the staff and volunteers at Bliss, and the miracles performed every day by staff in hospitals across the UK, make me proud to be part of something so worthwhile. I know that together we can make such a huge difference."
Head of Services, Zoe Chivers
Zoe has been at Bliss for eight years. As Head of Services she oversees our research work, the information we provide, support for parents from our volunteers as well as the training and development work with health professionals through the Bliss baby charter. She also represent parents' views on several NHS working groups such as the Neonatal Critical Care Clinical Reference Group. Her previous experience has been in other charities supporting patient empowerment and in the corporate sector.
Zoe says: "What really motivates me is the passion and the enthusiasm to make the lives of babies as best as they can possibly be. I have seen many changes at Bliss over the years but what remains the same is the way we build strong relationships with health professionals, the NHS, parents and our supporters. It is great seeing some of the babies that we have supported grow up and become advocates for the work that we do!"
Head of Finance and Operations, Paul Butler
After training to be an accountant and a 19-year career in the City, Paul left stockbroking to work within the charity sector. Since then, he has had several directorships and senior management roles, ranging from international development to membership based charities and joined Bliss in March 2015. Paul specialises in finance, HR, IT, risk and business modelling. He likes nothing better than climbing mountains and playing his trumpet.
Paul says: "I consider Bliss to be a great place to work and I am motivated by being part of its mission and making a difference, managing the Charity's finances and back office services."

The Book Fair, popularly known as 'BOI MELA' organized every year during the month of February at the Bangla Academy premises is not merely a collection of books.It is a passion of Bangladeshi people.It reflects the history,tradition and pride that grew over thousand of years of Bangladeshi culture.
I visited the Boi Mela again last evening.It was yet another new experience.All the visitors were new.I was amazed to see the completely new set of visitors walking happily.They were smiling,sharing and gossiping with divine pleasure.They were buying books with great enthusiasm.I felt very amazed to see that peoples thronged in front of a number of book stalls.The crowds also looked exceptional and new.They created no chaos.They were very disciplined.
The stalls also looked new with new sets of books and new sets of sales personnel.
Never again I saw the same little child staring at the white swans swimming in the
round pond of Bangla Academy.A new mother was playing with her little kid .
A new set of writers took the seats of Lekhok Kunjo(Writers' Hamlet) and exchanged pleasantry.
I enjoyed silently all the new things in the Book Fair.It is always a meeting place of passonate hearts.It is always a lively place.

"So Trini, you ready to go to the Peace Conference?" Kimberly asked.
"Yeah, Jason and Zack caught an earlier fight and should be in Switzerland by now," Trini answered, "Kimberly, are you sure it's okay for you to be here I mean, you have that thing in Angel Grove you need to do." The former Yellow Ranger had to tiptoe around the superhero subject as they were in public.
"The others can handle it for a day or two while I see off my best friend." The Pink Ranger assured her.
"Thank you for coming to see me off Kimberly." Trini said.
"It's no problem, really." Kimberly said. Suddenly a scream shattered the serene mood. The cab driver slammed on the breaks in front of a disaster scene. A group of six people in strange clothing, even by Power Rangers standards was wreaking havoc on the block.
"I heard something about some supervillian criminals escaping from prison last night. That must be them, and that Spiderman guy is leading them. We have to do something Kimberly!" The former Yellow Ranger said.
"Trini, if you stop to fight now you'll miss your flight to Switzerland. Besides we don't even know if your morpher works after the power transfer. I'll fight them alone." Kimberly told her as she opened the cab door.
"No, I can't let you do that, I'll just have to try and morph." The two stepped out of the cab and hid behind a building so they could morph.
"It's Morphin' Time! Pterodactyl!" Kimberly called as she pulled out her Dino Buckler.
"Saber-Tooth Tiger!" Trini called as she morphed into the Yellow Ranger.
Doctor Otto Octavius was caught off guard by the explosion that went off nearby. Who could have possibly done that?
"What the devil?" he muttered. As the smoke cleared he saw two people in power suits of some kind.
"Hold it right there you freaks!" the one in pink and white said. The voice sounded female, intriguing.
"Nobody calls me a freak! Scorpion roared firing Acid at the pair. The corrosive material grazed both of them as they tried to dodge; causing sparks to fly off their suits.
"Who are you?" Octavius inquired.
"We're the Power Rangers and we're the ones who will stop you." the one in yellow declared, the voice was also female like the other.
"Well these two aren't our targets but if they're going to get in our way I say we take them out." Shocker opined.
"I'm with you." Rhino agreed. Doc Ock considered the situation. These two would get in the way of destroying Spider-Man.
"Mysterio," Octavius said over his headset to the only member of the Insidious Six who wasn't in the immediate area, "We have new targets, be ready.
"Very well." Mysterio replied.
So we have:
Kimberly and Trini, already morphed
The Insidious Six from the 90's Spiderman cartoon which is comprised of:
- Doctor Octopus
- Rhino
- Shocker
- Mysterio
- Scorpion
- Chameleon (Currently in the guise of Spider-Man)
*All of the Insidious Six have their standard equipment.
*The Insidious Six must defeat two Rangers to win
*The Rangers must defeat the Insidious Six OR hold out until Spider-Man arrives in fifteen minutes time.

Reality TV is a lot of people's go-to guilty pleasure. We love watching outrageous people doing outrageous things and usually getting away with all it since producers always make sure we see our beloved troublemakers next season. But some of these TV stars can't tell the difference between scripted reality and actual reality and end up messing up their lives in some major ways.
20. Ryan Jenkins
First he was a contestant on Megan Wants a Millionaire. But it didn't bring him as much exposure as Jenkins' marriage to Californian model Jasmine Fiore. They've been together for half a year, which was filled with abuse and constant arguments. Then in August 2009 Fiore's crushed dead body was found inside a suitcase. She was identified by her breast implants and Jenkins killed himself soon after.
19. Josh Duggar
Josh Duggar appeared on 19 Kids and Counting, but the world knew his name after a series of well-publicized scandals. He was accused of molesting five girls back in 2002, was caught using the Ashley Madison website and even accused of sexually assaulting porn star Danica Dillon.
18. June Shannon
As if everything she's doing at TLC's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo reality show wasn't tacky enough, "Mama" June Shannon ran into legal troubles when she failed to pay child support in 2008. The show was eventually cancelled after it was reported that Shannon was dating a registered sex offender. Parent of the year, anyone?

Neural circuit basis of sexually dimorphic and learned behaviours in Drosophila
Group Leader page
We have a variety of interests investigating the circuit logic of innate behaviours, especially sexually dimorphic behaviours dependent on pheromones. We are also interested in how learned behaviours interact with and suppress innate behavioural responses.
On the technical side we also have major efforts in tool development to enable mapping of neural circuits including processing multi-terabyte light microscopy datasets. We are also leading a large collaborative effort using whole brain connectomics with EM data that is opening up many opportunities to map neural circuits at synaptic resolution (see http://www.zoo.cam.ac.uk/departments/connectomics).
Please get in touch to discuss specific project ideas (in these area or indeed any area of our group's work) that match your own scientific interests. Projects are likely to involve a combination of the techniques in the lab including molecular genetic manipulations, quantitative behaviour, optogenetics and electrophysiology/multiphoton imaging, connectomics and computational neuroanatomy.
Since we have developed (and will continue to develop) a variety of molecular genetic and software tools and imaging and behavioural hardware, we would strongly encourage applications from students with an aptitude for software or hardware development or some background in physical / quantitative sciences as well as a serious interest in brain and behaviour.

Deloras A. Stone and Estate of Jerry Stone vs. WVU Hospitals
PA-Daniel McCune; J-Gaujot
* In May 2010, when Jerry Stone was admitted to WVU Hospital, in addition to various medical problems, suffered from mobility and nutritional problems. While a patient, he developed a decubitis ulcer. Deloras Stone alleges WVU Hospitals failed to treat the decubitis ulcer once it was diagnosed. After being discharged from WVU Hospital, it became necessary for Stone to be admitted to another facility in Pennsylvania where he underwent surgical debridements and other medical treatment which affected his recovery and rehabilitation. Jerry Stone died in December 2010. Deloras Stone is seeking judgment against WVU Hospital for adequate compensation, attorney fees, interest and costs.

Doctor Pascal
Emile ZolaISBN: 9781595690517;
Страниц: 280
Doctor Pascal Rougon, a medical man at Plassans and a distin-guished student of heredity, had brought up his niece Clotilde (daughter of Aristide Rougon alias Saccard) from childhood. Years afterwards they found that they passionately loved one another... His mother, Felicite Rougon, who feared that his researches on heredity might bring scandal on the family, burned all his papers, and in one hour destroyed the work of a lifetime... A child was born to Clotilde, a child which Pascal intensely desired, in the hope that through it might come the regeneration and rejuvenation of his race... The story in the book is both simple and sad. (J. G. Patterson) --- Pascal's works on the members of his family is, in small, what I have attempted to do on humanity, to show all so that all may be cured. It is not a book which, like La Debacle, will stir the passions of the mob. It is a scientific work, the logical deduction and conclusion of all my preceding novels, and at the same time it is...

Silverman, former associate curator of the International Center of Photography in New York, notes in her introduction to this collection of photographs of dogs, "Photography cannot explain the social customs that allow one culture to devote itself to the dog as a pet while permitting another to serve him as a stew, but it does show the diversity of these attitudes." Her fascinating selection of photographs from 1844 to 1983 leans more heavily to the pet side than to the stew, but it does reflect the attitudes of societies toward dogs. The photographers represented include such masters as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Robert Capa and Diane Arbus. A few of the 108 black-and-white photographs are of pets of the famous—Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Gertrude Stein, Edward Steichen—but most, canines and humans alike, are of more modest achievement. While this is mostly a dog lover's book, of course, few people could resist gazing fondly at such photos as the 1938 postcard of an anonymous American holding two animals, one on a leash. The caption, from the days when hand lettering was used on postcards, reads, "Wm. Brown A Trip Around the World With Dog & Wolf. 25,000 Miles in Less Than 7 Yrs." (Knopf, $25)

Amanda de Cadenet is a photographer and host of the series "The Conversation With Amanda De Cadenet." She has also appeared in the films "Four Rooms," "Fall" and "Brokedown Palace." But she might be most famous for simply being famous in the 1990's, where she was considered a wild child and partied with Courtney Love and dated Keanu Reeves, and Duran Duran's John Taylor.
Amanda de Cadenet is the daughter of British racecar driver Alain de Cadenet. Growing up, she said, "I went from being able to walk down the street and being ignored to hitting puberty and having men whistle at me. I was an insecure young girl and it felt good to have attention, even though it was inappropriate." In an interview with the Daily Mail she said she was sexualized early and was "struggling to find an identity and seeking to fill the loneliness with anything I could."
Related: Which Country Has The Hottest Women?
Amanda de Cadenet began modeling when she was 14. Her career as a television presenter began when she was fifteen "as the host of two of the UK's most successful television shows. What can I say, I started young and quite frankly needed a job once I got out of the juvenile detention home that I spent some time in."
She met her future husband John Taylor when she was 16, and they married three years later. She gave birth to her first child when she was 19. She left London and sought a normal life in Los Angeles. While in LA, she worked as a photographer and is the youngest woman to shoot a Vogue magazine cover.
As for her partying ways, she said, "The benefit of starting so young is that I finished young, too. I stopped taking drugs at 20, so I've had 20 years of a very clean lifestyle."
After 15 years, she returned to television in 2012 with the interview series "The Conversation With Amanda De Cadenet." She said, "I wanted to create a show where women talked about issues that were central to their lives."
She has been married to Nick Valensi of The Stokes since 2006. She was previously married to John Taylor from Duran Duran. She said, "I have about 30 close female friends but only two male ones – Keanu and my husband." She added, "My relationships with women have always been strong, but for the earlier part of my life the only relationships I had with men were sexual."
Amanda de Cadenet currently resides in Los Angeles.

So here's what I ate over Christmas. On Christmas Eve, my parents watched the boys while Tony and I did some last-minute Christmas shopping and then went out for lunch. I had a steamer bowl of clams and mussels in white wine broth with whole wheat rolls. I forgot to snack much that day because we were pretty busy. I was going to do a fondue but decided against it since we weren't even home from the church Christmas pageant until 6pm. So when we got home we just had appies (or "pickies" as my Newfie relatives call them) and watched Christmas movies.
We had sausage, cheese, pepperoni, crackers, veggies and dip, and everyone's favourite- bacon wrapped water chestnuts. They're amazing! I didn't have too many of those because they have a lot of sugar in them. I wasn't really paying that much attention to how many carbs I was eating that day, and it turned out I wasn't eating nearly enough carbs because I had large levels of ketones the next morning (oops!).
Christmas morning we had steel cut oats that I had put in the crockpot the night before, so they were hot and ready for us to enjoy as soon as we got up. Steel cut oats rank lower on the glycemic index than regular oats, so I thought they would be a good breakfast for me. I ate them with sliced bananas, peanut butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon and Skinny B cereal. Alas, I think I put a little too much of it in my bowl because my blood sugar was a little high (8.1). But it was Christmas morning so I didn't worry too much about it.
After we opened presents we had brunch, which consisted of scrambled eggs, sausages, hashbrowns and multi-grain toast.
It was lovely, and my blood sugar was great afterwards. It was low enough that I enjoyed a little of my mom's homemade fruit bread that afternoon.
For Christmas dinner, we made the usual turkey, stuffing, yams, mashed potatoes, and steamed vegetables. I ate what I would normally eat (well, I maybe went a bit easier on the stuffing!).
Again, my blood sugar was great! I was able to enjoy a tiny sliver of cheesecake for dessert. It was so delicious and I savoured every little bite.
So that about sums up what I ate for Christmas. I really didn't have to sacrifice too much, it was more about being mindful of my portion sizes. I should really eat this way every Christmas!

There must be something in the water. How else did Mattawa, situated at that mystical place where the Ottawa and Mattawa rivers meet, become one of the world's truly great motorsports destinations?
Though you'll still find canoes and quiet trail rides here, if you're looking for the spirit of Canada's earliest explorers, seek out the grunt of high horsepower. Thanks to the natural diversity of the region, some very dedicated volunteers, and a real culture of motorsport adventure, Mattawa's Voyageur Country has emerged as a motorsports Mecca.
That's the gist of the Mattawa motorized experience: getting outside your comfort zone, tackling all challenges, and using whatever kind of vehicle you can. On land, water, snow, sand, or in the mud; be it on an ATV, Motorcycle, PWC, snowmobile, or whatever—Voyageur Country is where you'll find it.

Germany is set to become the first in Europe to allow babies to have their gender classed as 'indeterminate.'
The move will allow newborns who show characteristics of both sexes at birth to be classified by their parents as neither male or female.
It is hoped that the change will alleviate the pressure on some parents to make a quick decision over gender reassignment surgery straight after birth.
The new law - which comes into effect today - reads: "If a child cannot be designated male or female, then they should be entered on the birth register without such a status."
A spokesman for the German government added: "A key aim of the new rule is to relieve parents of the pressure of having to decide a sex straight after the child's birth, and thereby agreeing overly hastily to medical procedures to settle the child's sex."
The condition affects as many as 2,000 people with German government figures suggesting at least 150 'intersex' babies are born in the country each year.
Officials are keen to state that this move isn't creating a 'third gender' as the box for gender is left blank rather than a third option being selected.

Re: Least Favourite Episode?#11
In Camelot and Marco Polo
billyp wrote:Not one particular episode, but the storyline of Vito going to New Hampshire was like taking a character of minor importance and giving him his own spin-off. I think it plays little importance in the series as a whole. The fact that Vito is gay and causes a rift between NY & NJ is important, but could have been simplified. I think Chase was stretching his storyline to accommodate one more season. (or 1/2 season).

The closest I can think of is Chris's movie project, but (despite my feelings on that) even that is somewhat interesting. Vito's story was not. It was poorly acted, written, and executed. I just knew the whole time he was going to be killed at some point. It definitely seemed like filler. Vito isn't bad as a background character, but solo screen time? Not my idea of Sopranos. And it has nothing to do with the gay revelation. For the record, "Unidentified Black Males" is one of my favorite episodes. I just didn't like how far they felt like they needed to push that storyline. All very forced.

A rapid development environment using docker for convenience
Takeoff is a toolkit for rapid development, allowing you to prototype web applications using it's command line tool.
Installed via
npm you can find a list of commands for creating and managing Takeoff environments. Environments are created based on Blueprints.
Installing takeoff is simple, via NPM.
npm install -g @takeoff/takeoff
takeoff init <myenv>
cd <myenv>
takeoff start # This starts the default environment container in `envs/default`
To see how this all works, it's all explained below.
Blueprints are repositories with some batteries included applications and configurations for containers. Takeoff uses these to build a full working environment in minutes. A blueprint generally contains a backend component, a frontend, a database and an ingress server.
Currently Takeoff only ships with the default blueprint (but it's relativly easy to create new ones!) called takeoff-blueprint-basic and it provides:
node 8 API server powered by Hapi. Using
node 8 allows the use of
async/await to make code more readable. Included in the application is a User system for username/password login and basic user management, 2 levels (admin and user - and easily extendible). There is also a JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication system that gives you control over access to your API endpoints.
React Frontend with React Router V4, Redux and ReactStrap (Bootstrap 4). The frontend comes with a basic Dashboard layout and homepage. A login page with some basic validation allows you to log in (the default login is
admin/password). Do not expect this to be a fully secure environment. Once logged in you have a basic user CRUD application to manage users, and a navigation bar that you can customise.
Disclaimer: If you build an app with this you wish to deploy, you are responsible for your own security.
A Postgres 9 database. Within the Hapi application, Sequelize is used as the database connection and ORM. Here we can use this to create migrations and seeds, as well as create simple or complex model types as you like. The postgres setup also comes with a simple configuration file.
A Nginx ingress server, by default running on
port 80 (which means you get http://localhost or http://
Under the hood it uses
docker and
docker-compose to minimise the hassle of setting up frontend, backend and database servers (support for minikube is coming soon).
Using Docker volumes, the development files for the applications sit on your local computer file system, however the applications run within
docker and hot reload on changes. This means you can switch between your code and browser in seconds and see the changes and not have to worry about manually compiling before seeing your changes. On the server side this is accomplished with
nodemon and on the clientside with
webpack using hot reloading, so in most cases you don't need to refresh the browser at all.
If you ever get disconnected from your docker sessions afer starting them up, you can type
takeoff start again and you will reconnect to see any log output.
Takeoff is designed to cut out those first few crucial hours where you are setting up your project environment, such as babel and webpack configurations, user authentication or even just selecting a framework. It's perfect for hackdays, rapid prototypes, or teaching new coders by having a pre-configured environment in just 4 simple commands.
It cuts out the scary/annoying bit and gets right to the fun bit!
This software has some dependencies, and currently has only been fully tested on Linux using Docker Community Edition.
First install this, once installed you will have the
docker and
docker-compose commands. You also need
git and
node >= 8.4.0.
You should now have a server running at http://localhost. You can access the API via http://localhost/api.
After installing, you will have this folder structure in your Takeoff environment:
|- blueprints/basic # The basic blueprint that Takeoff ships
|- envs/default # The default environment installed
|- env # Folders with the source code you can change
|- api # This is the Hapi API Server
|- app # This is the frontend app
|- nginx # Nginx configuration
|- db # Postgres DB config
|- docker # This is where all the docker configurations are kept
|- docker-compose.yml # The glue file for your services
|- api # This is the Hapi API Server
|- app # This is the frontend app
|- nginx # Nginx configuration
|- db # Postgres DB config
When you install a new blueprint, it is cached in the
blueprints folder; this way when you create a new environment below it uses your local copy. If you want to update a blueprint, for now go into the folder and type
git pull origin master. A command will be coming for this soon.
Unofficially there are two blueprints:
default environment in the
env folder and
basic in the
blueprints folder.
When you want to create a new environment you can type:
takeoff new <environment>
takeoff start <environment>
This will start up your new named environment using the
basic blueprint. Make sure you have stopped any other environments running unless you have changed ingress port assignments.
There is also a Wordpress Blueprint, you can find out more about installing it via it's documentation (it may currently be broken, and I want to make this into a more general PHP blueprint anyway).
Currently only Linux is fully tested and supported out of the box, but support for other OS is coming (testers and contributors welcome!). There is a page for Windows Users to provide extra information in the quest to get it working.

Adding to his endless ironies — like making his 2013 debut the very day that his titanic suspension was announced — Alex Rodriguez took the field sans his foil to the left.
Not even BFFs go well for A-Rod, who detonated his "blood brother" kinship with Derek Jeter by essentially telling Esquire that Jeter was overrated. Then, of course, he was traded to the Yankees and got a famously frigid shoulder from the captain for years.
Part of what makes A-Rod's plunge into purgatory so vivid is the contrast 30 feet away, where Jeter has been standing in angelic relief for A-Rod's entire, volcanic tenure in New York City.
Jeter lives in stoic contrast while the masses swarm A-Rod, jabbing microphones in his face, barking questions and writing his epitaph. Jeter handles his business with complete stealth, perhaps the only NYC icon who maintained a modicum of mystery for an entire career.
Even if you're sick of his scripted platitudes, his monotone, corporate cliches after every game, Jeter is adored by New York in a way that A-Rod will never fathom. You'd never know that A-Rod was a better hitter and fielder than Jeter because of his off-field histrionics. The whole PED thing doesn't help, either.
A-Rod, who has his mail forwarded to Page Six, has often been more interesting, introspective and productive, but never more beloved. He made his baseball coffin, as it were, and soon he will see when his career will be lowered into the soil.
So you'd think karma alone would bequeath Jeter a longer, more lucrative career. But will it? Can we say with any certainty that Jeter has more games left in his beleaguered legs than A-Rod has in his mangled hips?
Jeter snapped his ankle in grotesque, public fashion last October, and then broke it again in April. Then he returned to a pulled quad, limping back to the disabled list. Now, he has strained his calf, busting a U-Turn back to the DL.
This isn't a coincidence. Between his age and injury, Jeter is experiencing textbook symptoms. Anyone who has seriously injured their leg knows that the body compensates in other areas, from the back to the quad to the calf. It's a wonder that Jeter lasted this long without profound impairment.
Jeter has called his 2013 season a "nightmare." Indeed, Jeter now has to answer questions about his physical health and the mental health of his former friend. At what point does Jeter graduate from bad luck to old limbs? He appeared to be fading two years ago, then had a stellar comeback last season, a stunning renaissance with a .300 batting average and over 200 hits.
But it could just be that he's returning to natural form. He is, by all historical standards, way too deep into his career to be great. Maybe 2012 was just a bonus, a de facto curtain call from the captain. He has spent so long living the good life, which has led us to expect unreasonably gaudy results.
Jeter is about a year older than Rodriguez. Even if A-Rod takes a forced hiatus next year, he could return fresh in 2015 — with a new batch of something undetectable — and revive his moribund career. Jeter, who seems to have done it all by the book, can't catch up to Father Time's fastball. Without the equine potions that his peers have abused for too long, Jeter will decay, like all other players, like all other humans. Even honesty has a price.
The saddest irony would be seeing Jeter fade before Rodriguez, whose place in the history books is now dubious at best. There is no doubt that A-Rod will watch Jeter give his Hall of Fame speech long before he gets so much as a text message from Cooperstown.
Either way, the finish line is in full view for both. How close they are could depend on our lens, or on their legs.

Prince Harry leads race, plays rugby on his 2nd day in Brazil
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) ' Prince Harry began his second day in Brazil running a one-mile (1.6 kilometer) race and playing rugby in Rio de Janeiro's Flamengo beach.
The prince held the Brazilian flag as he led more than 1,000 youths, local authorities and artists during Saturday morning's race.
After the race he and a group from Rio's Morro de Cantagalo (Moho-jee-Canta-gahluh) slum played rugby for about 30 minutes.
Harry is also scheduled to take beach volleyball lessons and tour another hillside slum.
He arrived in Rio Friday and met with top business people, artists and sporting figures at an event center atop Rio's iconic Sugarloaf Mountain.
He planned to travel to Sao Paulo state on Sunday for a charity polo match.

Credit Repair
Regardless of how much money you have, your credit often acts as a gatekeeper for certain acts of commerce and maintaining good credit is the cornerstone of living a financially healthy life. But as with many things in life, not everything goes perfect.
Triumph Law Group offers services to help repair your credit and have a fresh start. Please beware, many companies make promises they cannot keep. At Triumph Law Group, we are committed to giving you an accurate and FREE credit analysis before you retain our services. No surprises. No Hassles. No worries.
What is Credit?
Credit is a lending mechanism that allows us to purchase goods and property that we could otherwise not afford to pay in cash. Credit scores measure our credit worthiness, and banks and credit card companies use the credit score to evaluate the likeliness that we will pay back debts owed. By paying debts on time and keeping a good credit score, lending entities know they can trust us and lend money at lower interest rates. Those who do not keep good credit scores will see higher interest rates in their loans and utilities bills, and access to credit will be restricted.
Your credit history is reflected in your credit report. The report contains all of your personal information (name, addresses, date of birth, social security number and employment history), lists your debt information (amount owed, status of payments, whether payments were made on time or late, or never paid), and gives your FICO credit score.
The best way to maintain a good credit is to understand your credit score and learn how to read your credit report.
What is Credit Repair?
Credit Repair is a legal way to fix problems with your credit; everyone has the right to repair their credit. The 1970 Fair Credit Reporting Act states that all information posted on your credit report must be 100% accurate, complete and verifiable. Any inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information must be promptly corrected or deleted from your credit report. How does Credit Repair work? There are three private credit bureaus that organize and list financial information reported by creditors: Experian, Transunion and Equifax. In order to repair credit, one must contact these companies and request to update or delete inaccurate/incomplete/unverifiable information from a credit report.
Can you repair your credit on your own?
YES. You have the right to repair your credit on your own. But if you're like most people, the time and hassle of trying to make sure you fully and accurately comply with all the steps necessary to repair your credit may not be worth it. Triumph Law Group offers low priced services that are hassle and worry free! How long does credit repair usually take? Credit Repair can take anywhere from three months to one year, depending on each individual case. Everyone has a unique credit history that can affect how long it takes to repair the credit.
How can you get started?

Sifakas of Madagascarwatch a preview
From the Primates series
by Anne Zeller
color, 22 min, 1997
Non-profit, K-12, and Individual pricing also available
See pricing information and conditions
Two very closely related species of sifaka are compared in this video in order to provide some detailed information about their behavior. The diademmed sifaka is very rare and has only recently been brought into captivity. This footage taken in its natural habitat is currently the only available material showing it in the wild. This species is compared with verreauxi's sifaka which is much more common and frequently filmed animals. Comparisons between these two similar species increase our understanding of the adaptive strategies of this type of lemur which is one of the largest remaining forms. Theverreauxi's sifaka is highly adapted to dry conditions and is shown feeding, locomoting and defending its territory from an incoming group. The pacing of this video is slow to allow the observer time to really look at this unusual animal and its highly unusual form of locomotion, which is vertical clinging and leaping between trees and bipedal dancing on the ground.

Biographical entry Soden, John Smith (1780 - 1863)
Member of the Company of Surgeons, 1800; FRCS Dec 11th, 1843, one of the original 300 Fellows.
- Born
- 29 March 1780
Coventry, UK
- Died
- 19 March 1863
Bath, UK
- Occupation
- General surgeon
Born at Coventry on March 29th, 1780; was educated at King Edward's Grammar School. He was then apprenticed to George Freer, of Birmingham, the author of Aneurysm and some Diseases of the Arterial System (1807), who evidently inspired his pupils with higher aims that the mere routine of practice, for Soden was Jacksonian Prizeman in 1810 with an essay on "The Bite of Rabid Animal". Moreover, Joseph Hodgson (q.v.), a fellow pupil with Soden, President of the College in 1864, was the author in the following year (1811) of the Jacksonian Prize Essay on "Wounds and Diseases of the Arteries and Veins" – an elaborate piece of work.
Having qualified in 1800, Soden entered the Army as a Hospital Mate on June 13th, 1800, became Assistant Surgeon in the 79th Highlanders three days later, served in Egypt, and resigned before April 16th, 1803. After returning to London he settled in practice at Bath, where he was appointed Surgeon to the United Hospitals, the Eye Infirmary, the Penitentiary, and the Lock Hospital. He thus took up a position as a leading practitioner in Bath, a successful operator and eye surgeon. He was an original member of the British Medical Association. He practised at 101 Sydney Place, Bath, and died in retirement on March 19th, 1863. His son, John Soden (q.v.), succeeded to his practice.
He was ambidextrous in operating for cataract, sitting facing the patient, the patient also sitting; he made the lower incision by means of Baer's triangular knife. Puncturing the cornea almost vertically, he watched for the jet of aqueous humour, then carried the knife across the anterior chamber without touching the iris. Soden made an admirable collection of the Portraits of Medical Men – Ancient and Modern, British and Foreign. It was presented after his death to the Royal Medico-Chirurgical Society by his son John Soden, of Bath. The collection consists of four folio volumes containing 872 mounted medical portraits, with two additional volumes, the one of caricatures and newspaper cuttings, the other of autograph letters and signatures of medical men. The six volumes are preserved at the Royal Society of Medicine, where they are known as 'The Soden Collection'.

Judging from the telephone calls and also from some of the field visits I have made, we are going to have some big grass to kill in some not so big rice. When the freeze hit, the grass handled it much better than the rice.
In a lot of situations, there was the question of whether or not the rice stand would survive, so no herbicides were applied.
In other situations the rice just looked so sick the grower or consultant was afraid to apply any herbicides.
The end result is a lot of fields with two- to three-leaf rice and tillering barnyardgrass and broadleaf signalgrass.
Some options I consider in these situations are Ricestar HT, Ricestar HT plus Facet or Quinstar, and Super Wham plus Facet or Quinstar.
Anytime I am dealing with big barnyardgrass or signalgrass, I try to get some Facet or Quinstar in the program. If the problem is barnyardgrass and it is tillering, the rate needs to be 0.33 pound per acre or higher in the mixtures.
In some situations where the rice was still sick from the cold weather, I switched from Super Wham to Duet to be easier on the rice. Both the Ricestar HT and propanil mixtures with Facet or Quinstar have been excellent.
I often base my choice between the two programs on other weeds in the mix.
The keys to control with these treatments are having good moisture at application and getting some moisture behind the Facet or Quinstar for activation.
In situations where Facet or Quinstar can not be used, the 24-ounce rate of Ricestar HT will control some pretty big grass if there is excellent soil moisture at the time of application.
It is a good all-around treatment for barnyardgrass, broadleaf signalgrass and sprangletop.
Regiment can also fit in situations where the grass is only barnyardgrass, especially where broadleaf weeds such as smartweed may also be present. The new adjuvant recommendations for Regiment have helped that herbicide.
The disadvantage for Regiment is it does not control sprangletop or broadleaf signalgrass and the grasses usually occur in a complex.
In Clearfield rice, if the situation with big grass is similar to the one described above, consider Clearpath on the first application. The Facet will help the Newpath out considerably on the bigger grass.
All I can do in an article is paint with a broad brush. Different situations require different treatments, and there are a lot of different situations. The main thing is it is time to get the fields cleaned up now.
My philosophy of weed control is do whatever you have to in order to have nothing in the field but rice when you go to flood. Feel free to call if I can help.
On another note, this is another year to "throw the book out the window." I do not like winging it, but most have never been through a situation like we have with the freeze and so many of the crops emerged.
I and some other consultants and university guys have talked some farmers into keeping some stands of rice that they were less than enthusiastic about. We now have to try to clean those up. That will be hard enough.
I would remind everyone again that these fields of sick rice with thin stands can not stand any glyphosate or Newpath drift. Rice is a crop with an amazing ability to overcome adversity. I am confident that a lot of these fields that growers are worried about will do just fine if they do not get hammered with a drift.
Please be careful and communicate with your neighbors. Remember glyphosate this year has a 10 mph wind restriction on it.
I will close with a word of encouragement from a mentor, former rice specialist Bobby Huey, who told me more than once, "Ford, a thin stand of rice will fool you every time!"


text: I'm using the latest version of MultiGame ISO Creator. I've used it several times before with no problems, all games loaded fine in the Backup Loader. Now something weird is happening. Because I'm not "at home" right now, I want to verify the MultiGame images before burning. The program appears to create them with no problem, the resulting ISO size is correct. Then I switch to "extract" mode and not all the games show up. Part-way through the list it shows a banner-less game with a ? for the name. Sometimes this is even the 1st game on the list. I've used shrinking, altering (correcting) the game names, changing the order, and all of this has worked in the past. Dolphin still reads the MultiGame ISO correctly, and all of the games are verified as working before making the Multi. I've tried different combinations of games and shrink settings and it's giving me these messed up ISOs every time. Just to see if it would work (maybe the MultiGame Creator was just bugging), I tried burning one: successful burn, but according to my drive only 7MB of the disc is being used. It sucks because I can't test these in my Wii at the moment. Any ideas about whether they will work or not? Is this normal for MultiGame Creator to make ISOs that seem messed? Edit: I have the correct disc settings, Type=DVD5, Region=USA.

Our new 12 week weight loss guide combines advice on healthier eating and physical activity. You get a brilliant information pack for each week of the plan, which is full of advice and tips, plus a brilliant stick-it-on-the-fridge planner to help you track your weekly progress.
Being underweight can damage your health. Weighing too little can contribute to a weakened immune system, fragile bones and feeling tired. There might be an underlying medical cause for your low weight, such as an overactive thyroid. Or you may simply be underweight because your diet isn't providing you with enough energy. Stress or other emotional problems can sometimes cause a change in eating patterns that is hard to recognise.
We were all brought up to finish the food on our plates, but sometimes it's more than we really need. Try our simple tips to get you and your family into great healthy eating habits.
The eatwell plate applies to most of us – whether we're a healthy weight or overweight, whether we eat meat or are vegetarian, and no matter what our ethnic origin.
Anyone with special dietary requirements or medical needs might want to check with a registered dietitian whether the eatwell plate applies to them.

Just wanted to say thanks! I met husband using your service. Roomates.com did a great job of introducing me to many people with whom I had things in common. The last thing I expected was to find the man of my dreams. We met at the beginning of September and fell in love almost instantly. Our wedding is planned in March. This was not our goal, we were but just looking for a roomate and to save a few dollars. But we are eternally grateful and thank you so much for the connection!!!- Gail
Three cheers for Roommates.com! I found the most ideal roommate in less than ONE WEEK! I cannot thank you enough for saving me so much time and effort! I was concerned about displaying fliers in public places because I had no idea who would be calling and how safe it would be to interview potential roommates. Your website made me feel secure in my search! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I still can't believe how easy it all was! - Caroline

First, there was dinner: Thai salad with chicken. Then it was Froot Loops for dessert. Yup. But never in a gazillion years will this come out of a cereal box again…
It's the most interestingly-shaped Froot Loop ever produced at a cereal factory on the planet. This specimen is one of a kind. What a fascinating, oblong shape. Yes?
The 'Loop is about an inch long. If you look real close you will notice the face of the Virgin Mary on the left, as well as the thumbprint of Elvis on top.
I could fetch a high dollar price for this mutant 'Loop on Ebay — enough to pay off my mortgage 'n stuff. But instead, I did the more logical-sensible thing?
I ate it.
I basically ate the payoff monies for my mortgage. Damn.

What is Suspension Training?
Born in the U.S. Navy SEALS, TRX Suspension Training® bodyweight exercise is a revolutionary method of functional training. Using a TRX Suspension Trainer™ and your own bodyweight, you can perform hundreds of different exercises and control the intensity by adjusting body position and angle.
What is Rip Training?
Born in Taekwondo and Physical Therapy, Rip™ Training is a new form of functional training with elastic resistance. It complements TRX Suspension Training® bodyweight exercise by offering a total body workout emphasizing rotational power and high velocity movements that can be adjusted for any level.
Q: Who will benefit from Suspension Training?
Everyone can benefit from Suspension Training. Because the user can effortlessly control the resistance and level of difficulty by simply shifting the position of their body, the TRX Suspension Trainer Professional is perfect for gentle rehabilitation, hardcore athletic training, and everything in between.
Q: Is Suspension Training appropriate for people who are out of shape or just beginning an exercise program?
Yes, because the user has control over the amount of bodyweight resistance, control of the angle in which they place their body, and can control their stability by their foot placement (wide stance, narrow stance, single leg) which means it can very well be used for people that are not professional or performance athletes nor regularly active. Suspension Training can also be used to assist a number of movements that are too difficult for many deconditioned users.
Q: How is Suspension Training different from other types of resistance training?
Traditional weight training often only works one muscle at a time which is contradictory to the normal coordinated muscle effort used to complete most activities. Focusing on only one muscle at a time is more likely to lead to overuse injuries and muscular imbalances, as well as potentially limit strength and movement gains. Suspension Training allows for the use of multiple planes of motion and works multiple muscles and joints simultaneously.
Product Questions
Q: Do I need any other equipment?
The TRX, your body and bit of motivation is all you will need to get a great workout! If you have other equipment available to you, it can be integrated into your program to provide increased variety and different challenge.
Q: What is the TRX made of? Is it elastic?
No, the TRX is constructed of industrial strength soft nylon webbing, so the resistance is generated by variable bodyweight and gravity rather than the stretching of elastic bands.
Q: Is there a weight limit for the person using the TRX Suspension Trainer Professional?
We recommend a maximum user weight of 350lbs. We performed a product design testing that includes a 4 Times Load Testing. This means we take four times the maximum user weight and load it on different parts of the TRX to ensure that the product will not fail. So although the maximum user weight is 350lbs, we have actually loaded it with 1400lbs.
Q: What is the difference between the TRX Suspension Trainer Professional & the TRX FORCE Kit?
Both include a TRX Suspension Trainer that are functionally similar. The TRX FORCE Kit has a different color scheme and includes a TRX Door Anchor and the TRX FORCE DVD & Guide. The TRX FORCE DVD & Guide is a complete 12-week strength and endurance training program built for the needs of the tactical (military and first responder) and other serious athletes.
Q: How much space do I need to train on the TRX?
To be able to perform all exercises on the TRX, you will need a comfortable space that is 6ft wide and 8ft in length.

Neighborhood Partnership Program celebrates 1st anniversary in Jeannette
The Neighborhood Partnership Program (NPP) has reached the one year mark in Jeannette.
The Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development's website describes NPP tax credit program as "long-term collaborations (five years or more) of business, government and community leaders to produce a comprehensive, asset-based and relationship-driven approach to community development."
Companies that participate in the NPP donate a portion of their state tax to be used for various projects in the community.
In Jeannette, the project is led by Westmoreland Community Action (WCA), which is a county-based nonprofit that is the lead agency of the housing project on South Sixth Street and the Bridges to Prosperity Initiative. WCA also operates a Head Start program in the city.
Director Tay Waltenbaugh and his staff work closely with the Elliott Company and First Niagara Bank, which are the initial funders for this NPP project and have pledged about $500,000 over a period of five years for beautification projects in the city.
This coming year, DeLallo's and UPMC will join the group, which raises the amount of annual contributions coming into the city to about $700,000 over the next five years.
Last year's $100,000 is close to being spent. According to Waltenbaugh, the funders have agreed that any remaining money can be carried over into next year.
Projects completed within the last year includes the tree removal at Altman Park and on Clay Avenue, the purchase of seasonal flags, flag poles, hangers and hanging baskets for Clay Avenue and the purchase of planters with flowers for both City Hall and Altman Park.
Other expenditures included new signage for the city which should be installed in the near future and the purchase of equipment for watering the plants and for city-wide cleanups.
Although the overall focus is beautification, Waltenbaugh said, "The funders do have a say-so in how the money is used and DeLallo's wants to make sure that the children in Jeannette are fed, so we will be discussing feeding programs in the future."
Elliott and First Niagara Bank have made it clear that funds from their companies are to be used for beautification.
Lenny Galante, who, along with Rob Fejes, hung the flags on Clay Avenue, has suggested decorating with cornstalks for the fall and he also has made repairs to the Christmas bells used on Clay Avenue.
The Community Action Team of the NPP meets monthly at City Hall. For dates and times of upcoming meetings contact Waltenbaugh at email@example.com.

More than 20 ceramic masks are strewn around Pam Tagariello's living room, but she can't bear to part with any of them.
"One piece definitely leads to another," said Tagariello. "I imagine many of the masks, especially the ones with leaves, hanging on trees or in a garden. They need to be around plants or in a yard."
She hopes to soon have a showing that will put all of the completed pieces on display.
Tagariello, who normally works with pastels, printmaking, figures on paper and collage, began dabbling in hand-building while visiting a friend's house. After taking a class through Hawaii Potters' Guild less than a year ago, she began passionately creating hand-built masks.
Each mask takes about five hours to complete, which includes two firings. Linoleum carvings are often used to add leaves or other finishing touches, a skill Tagariello perfected through printmaking. Through the guild she has learned to make glazes, fire the kilns and use spray guns.
One of the biggest perks of taking classes through the guild is the use of studio time, she said. "Students can get a lot of hours of practice. We also work alongside professional artists and advanced students -- we have an opportunity to continually learn."
Established in 1967 as a nonprofit organization committed to the support and development of ceramic arts and crafts, the guild has grown into a successful studio with many of its potters active in the local art scene.
"Clay work depends upon a lot of practice," said Kwock. "The more students take advantage of the studio, the faster they develop into an accomplished potter ... they learn techniques faster." All levels of potters use the studio, from novices to 30-year veterans.
"There is a great deal of personal satisfaction when learning these kind of skills, Kwock said. "Everyone needs to find their niche to express themselves."
» Tuition: $165 plus $127 for clay; members $150

IRS cracks down on family gifts of real estate
Amazingly, it appears that most people who have given away real estate to family members in recent years have not filed a gift tax return with the IRS.
The IRS requires a gift tax return to be filed any time a person makes a gift to someone other than a spouse of more than the annual exemption amount (which is currently $13,000). So if a person gives a piece of real estate to a child, or sells it to them for $1, or even sells it to them for a price that is more than $13,000 below its actual value, a gift tax return must be filed. That's true for residences, vacation homes, and investment properties. [Read more…]
Talk with your heirs about the advantages of inherited IRAs
Leaving an IRA to your children or grandchildren can be a great idea. That's because withdrawals from the IRA can be "stretched out" over many years, and the IRA can grow tax-free for decades, giving your heirs a huge tax benefit.
However, if you're planning to leave an IRA to your heirs, it's important to talk with them now about this strategy – so they understand how to take advantage of it.
A recent study by the AXA insurance company showed that 87% of children who inherit an IRA from a parent liquidate it within a year of the parent's death. [Read more…]
2012 could be a great time to equalize family gifts
There's a limit on how much money you can give away each year without paying gift tax. For 2012, for instance, you can give any person up to $13,000 without paying tax.
Many people make annual gifts to family members as part of their estate planning. This is a smart idea, but one problem is that over time it can result in unequal gifts to different parts of a family.
For instance, Edna has three children: Alan is single, Stella is married with one child, and Andy is married with four children. Each year Edna gives $13,000 to each of her children, their spouses, and her grandchildren. [Read more…]
How to transfer a family business to the next generation
Many people who seek estate planning advice are owners of family businesses, and one of their chief concerns is how to pass on the business to the next generation.
The fact is, there are almost as many ways to transfer a family business as there are family businesses. There's no way to know what's best for you without a thorough discussion of your goals, your family, and your complete financial picture. However, there's no question that dealing with a family business is an essential aspect of planning your estate.
Here's a broad, general look at some of the ways in which a business can be transferred to your children: [Read more…]
How do I organize separate business activities under one business entity?
Additional Information:
I am a teacher in Quincy and in addition to my salary I sometimes receive wages for tutoring, and also income from our rental property. Is it recommended and is there a way to organize these separate business activities under one business entity?
Organizing several side businesses under one umbrella may sound like a good idea at first but there are several reasons (for tax purposes and non-tax purposes) why you should keep all businesses separate. First, if you have all businesses in one entity (whether a corporation or a LLC) they are all at risk in a lawsuit. Using your facts, if a guest of your tenant slips and falls on the property they would be able to attach the income from the rental property as well as any tutoring income (if they get a judgment against the business). Also, losses from rental activities are treated very differently from all other business activities. If you generate a net operating loss from an activity you are materially participating in (tutoring would likely qualify), that loss can be used to offset income from other activities. However, rental activities are presumed to be passive activities (unless you can prove you are in the real estate business and devote significant time to that activity) and the losses that are generated can be limited. Putting any other activity in the rental activity entity might keep you from realizing those losses. You can achieve better results using more than one entity and you will likely get better protection for all your assets and income. [Read more…]
Properties were foreclosed and I will file for bankruptcy. Am I still responsible for tax leins?
Additional Information:
I owned some rental properties in Braintree that were foreclosed on several months ago. I am getting ready to file for bankruptcy to wipe away the deficiencies. I am still getting bills from various taxing authorities for tax liens on the property. My question is, since I no longer own the properties and the bankruptcy will wipe away the deficiency, will I still be responsible to pay for the tax liens?
Since your questions mentions "various" taxing authorities the answer probably is yes you are likely still on the hook for the taxes owed. The liens are a mechanism to secure payment only and are generally not dependant on ownership of the subject property. Had you sold the property in a private transaction, the liens would have had to be satisfied either before the closing, or at the closing and before the proceeds were distributed to you. It is very likely the taxing authorities will be looking to place liens on other property you own. If you have the ability to pay a lump sum to erase any of the liens you may be able to negotiate a reduced liquidation payment. Also, the liens may be able to be removed if you can prove insolvency or in some cases if you file for bankruptcy.
Assuming this refers to Massachusetts State taxes, the back taxes were likely paid by whomever purchased the property at foreclosure – likely the lender/servicer. For example, say the principal balance of the mortgage was $250K, the arrears plus fees were $15K and the tax lien was $5K, then the foreclosing lender/servicer likely purchased the property at foreclosure for $270K ($250K + $15K + $5K = $270K). State taxes are always first in line and unpaid taxes have to be paid at conveyance, which includes a foreclosure sale. The tax lien amount will be included in the total deficiency, which will presumably be discharged in bankruptcy. [Read more…]
I cannot say enough good things
"I cannot say enough good things about David. When my wife and I decided to get serious about our estate planning, David was the attorney we chose to work with. He took a great interest in making sure we understood all of our options in terms of creating our wills, powers of attorney, and health care directives. His knowledge in all areas of estate planning impressed us immensely. After our initial consultation with David, my wife and I felt 100% comfortable with our decision to hire David. We now have peace of mind when we think of how our assets will be passed on according to our wishes. I have a financial advisory business and only think of David when I have clients who need to complete their estate planning. " – Peter Murphy, Estate Planning
