Don't worry. We are okay one.
But...but...but...the contract is signed what. We had a deal. No? Yes, but you didn't read the fine print. It is clearly stated that we (the company) reserve the right to terminate this contract at any time and without having to give any reasons. So in other words...be grateful for the 4 months we are paying you. Now fuck off. You're standing too close to my Mercedes Benz S500.
And so the 46,000 or so Ringgit that this Malaysian would have been able to bring back to Bolehland and perhaps contribute in some small way to that "strong reserve" mentioned below, disappears in smoke. Actually, there wasn't even smoke because they strongly discourage smoking in this place.
Meanwhile back in Bolehland the government is telling us that all is OKAY! We are managing much better than the other Asian economies. Our financial fundamentals are strong. We still have a lot of reserves. I believe this is what the sleepy fler actually said...
'We have some very strong economic fundamentals. And we have very strong reserves. Our trade surplus is still strong... Our savings are also very high...'
Strong economic fundamentals? Do those people even know what that means? Strong reserves? How much? Trade surplus strong? How long do you think that is going to last when the whole world goes into recession and nobody buys what we sell and we cannot afford what they sell? Savings high? Really ah? Even Adam will tell you that savings without sustainable income will fizzle out eventually. Does anybody there have a crystal ball that helps stoke this foolish confidence that we don't know about?
WE are okay they say. By the way, has anybody qualified who that WE is?

Yeah, it's funny how our country leaders are somehow seems delusional on the economy. As if the financial turmoil happening in the US won't hit our shores.
Look at Australia on how they are going to prepare for this economy meltdown.

Dear Pat,
Just wish to say that I'm not trying to stand on any side but perhaps to look at it from a neutral point of view. Or maybe I watch too much X-Files.
I mean if you were in his shoes...what would you have said?
Now, imagine that you know the situation is worse but you also have no idea how to solve it...the best would be to ensure people remain calm first instead of telling people..."we are going bankrupt like Iceland and we don't know what to do"...this would or could create chaotic situation, investors more worried and no confidence...and so on and so forth..ala the buttefly effect.
Yes, as citizens, we always seek the truth but sometimes...can we handle the truth?
- 2:47 pm
I think you people would be very happy if the government people go around and announce - Ya, we are in deep shit. We are in the brink of bankrupt. There is nothing left in the bank negara vault. WE ARE SCREWED.

Sorry about your contract Patrick..
Like the rest of us, hang on in there.
"The fundamental of economics is strong"..isn't that what McCain said a few weeks before the big bang on the Wall Street happened? Plagiarism? Well, he did graduated Islamic Studies, why would he know anything about the economy...oh, forgot, he's swapped the portfolio, now he's in Defense...hmh....next thing you know, we'll wake up being conquered by Singapore while he was snoozing...make it into a movie called,"While you were sleeping"
- 5:26 pm
Dear Patrick, I'm sorry about your contract, but don't worry. you are a actor genius, your english very good. I'm thinking you will get better job which suit for you. To be honest, I'm also a contract employee of the company with the most same terms. so cheer up, my dear patrick, look the bright side. when you are going to back Malasia, could you let me know, I hope I can take picture with you again.
- 12:09 pm
Gomen must be reading this blog and felt embarrassed ... now they are saying that rescue plan wud be announced ...flip flop again? Whatever la, mou ngan thai ....

Love that last line - yes, "we" are going to be fine because "we" are going to retire soon & live in lap of luxury and "we" don't have to worry about finding money to pay house, car, kids' education etc
- 11:42 am
I've to disagree with you.
Let me give you an eg. Say if authority had known that a tsunami our shore and even if authority is incapable to handle it, it's better to prepare their citizens by providing them the true picture so that they can make informed decision.
This is so that when the tsunami hits our shore, at least we would have make necessary planning.
The only thing the gomen shouldn't do is to create fear.
As it is now, throughout the last week when the rest of the world's authorities are sweating trying to fix the financial crisis, just look at the headlines of papers and news...it's nothing but politics.
What Patrick is describing is real. The spilover effect from Wall Street to main street is taking place. There is a delay in Malaysia but that doesn't mean it won't gain momentum. Better to err with caution which is why informing the public with real information is VERY VITAL!
- 1:40 pm
- Umbrella Rec said...
Really sorry to hear about your contract. Lately my friend who was a DJ at Traxx FM got similar fate for her contract - "Chop! Chop! She lost her job". I guess that radio station always lost good DJs. I have switched to listen to radio stations based in England after being annoyed with local radio stations.
Regarding money matters from the government, even if they really have the money...can we trust them with the money? It worries me if the money exists. :)

Happy/Sad Days
Saying goodbye to my classmates was more emotional than I expected. I knew that I would cry, I just didn't expect to be sniffling and stuttering and seal-barking hardcore crying like I was!
For DBT graduation we each hold a seashell and share our thoughts and goodbyes to each graduate before they get to hold the shell and give their goodbyes to the class. I started crying while people gave me their goodbyes and when I started into mine the dam really broke. Before I even addressed the class I gave them all individual cards and handed the instructor my bin of "special prizes" for the weeks when they get double homework or when they get to play Jeopardy for module reviews. It was a good feeling.
I got so many great compliments. People spoke about how different I am now compared to when I first started. I don't slump and mumble anymore. My shoulders are back and I'm a beaming light and I take up the whole room with my laugh-it was so sweet. They talk about how supportive and friendly I am. How hard I've worked at the skills. How different class will be without me.
My therapists each called me a "community maker." That meant a lot to me. For so long I've battled loneliness and felt so isolated. Now I initiate conversations with acquaintances and strangers. I reach out and don't worry about reciprocation. I'm not paralyzed by fear anymore. I'm me. Take it or leave it.
My individual therapist also talked about how much has changed over the past year. How she was really worried about me being able to do DBT with my history of ECT. When I started DBT I was still doing ECT. She said that they'd never encountered anyone who had done ECT that could effectively learn DBT-until me. She called me an anomaly. Special. It was magical. I felt like a diamond. It meant so much to have someone point out just how much I've battled through. How I've beat the odds.
I'm a success story. I want to stay a success story. One day a time.
We have done so much trying to get me back to good since Baby Bananaface was born. Medications, therapies, inpatient, outpatient, ECT, TMS, DBT, exercise. The medications have been a part of my recovery, sure, though I really feel like the DBT and my gym routine are what saved me.
For my birthday I got to share my thanks with my gym instructors and last week I got to share my thanks with my DBT community. I'm so happy that I'm in a place where I can share like that as well as acknowledge how far I've come.
Whew. So many emotions! Anywho. That happened. :o)

I'm so happy for you and proud of you, Hannah, which is not meant as pressure, because as you say, one day at a time, it's a process and a remembering, and sometimes a refresher. You are doing so well, and I am glad you got to hear how much your kindness and lovingness supports and helps other people. I'd have seal barked too.ReplyDeleteReplies

At some point, your lifestyle will catch up to you. Achievers are a crazy breed, We sprint and cram and say yes and pull things off on little sleep with loads of energy, and in doing so, feel like we are checking off some sort of golden to do list. Almost as another challenge to conquer, people like me feed off of the frenzy. For more than a quarter of a century, I didn't know how to describe myself as anything but a perfectionist - a term that I'd literally ingrained into my own identity, losing sight of what it even means or why I'd want to be one. And last spring, the crazy chase finally caught up to me. Returning to work after a week at the beach vacation, I suffered what I would later learn to recognize as a panic attack. Me, the girl who could do it all (in heels with a smile), had hit the wall. In the stillness, and the panic, I heard a voice saying, "you can't keep running at this speed." I firmly believe that God knew I'd never slow down without being knocked off my feet, and I'm incredibly grateful for that moment that I believe changed everything for me.
("But he said to me,'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power
may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9).
Seeing a therapist does not make you crazy. I always joke that my mind runs more than my feet ever do. As someone with input, learner, and achiever as strengths, I tend to process information constantly. Furthermore, with communication as a top strength, I actually think in narratives (or blog posts), which while that may sound impressive, can be exhausting. While running through life at warp speed, I found myself so exhausted that I had nothing left to transfer the thoughts in my head to conversation. I couldn't even talk to Weston at the end of a long day about anything meaningful, I was just frozen. Unfortunately, the thoughts didn't stop, they just built up like books on a shelf in my mind until I thought the shelf would collapse. And then, I found a good Christian friend/mentor who also happened to be a Licensed Professional Counselor, and for the first time in my life, I felt free from my own thoughts. Now I've thought about talking to a counselor for several years now but was always hung up on the stigma that talking to a therapist was for people with "real issues," which of course, as an achiever I couldn't even consider thinking I had (ha!). I didn't need someone to help me manage my stress, I could do it all. Well I now know that a) that's a fallacy in my head and b) even if I could, it's a lot more fun with someone walking alongside me.
("Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up." Ecclesiastes 4:9).
Talk to yourself like you're someone you love. Before this last year, I'd never thought much about the idea of positive self talk. To be honest, I thought that sounded like some hippy-dippy kumbaya mantra. But one day, someone called me out on this and flat out said, "would you say that to your best friend?" The context doesn't really matter, the point was, I had just been made aware that the way I talked to myself was no way I'd talk to a friend. The messages I'd been repeating over and over were not healthy and were not in line with the Gospel at all. The Bible assures us that we are, "made in the image of God," (Genesis 1:27), so as I was telling myself I wasn't _______ enough (insert smart/good/strong/creative, etc.), I was essentially criticizing God's creation. I was throwing out God's promise that He made me to be ENOUGH. It was time to find some new mantras!
("But the things that come out of a person's mouth come from the heart, and these defile them." Matthew 15:18)
Being busy is not something to brag about. At what point did we decide as a culture that working long hours on little sleep with no break for lunch was honorable? When did we begin to define our identities solely by what we do for a salary? Who decided that how we spend our time can be arbitrarily deemed worthy or unworthy based on a predetermined classification system? The longer this goes on, the more we believe it. Trust me. When I considered making a career switch which some might consider a "step back" I struggled for months with what other people would think. Don't I have to have a reason not to work overtime and strive for the top of the ladder? What will they think? One of my favorite, lesser known, Tim McGraw songs is "Who Are They?" I've go to agree with my main man Timmy that we build up this idea in our heads of what other people will think and say, and what I'm finding out is a) usually people don't care as much about what's going on in our lives as we think they do and b) I'm not living for them anyway!
("Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing, and perfect will." Romans 12:2)
There are the same 24 hours in each day, for everyone. If you don't control your time, it will control you. There's a lot to be said about being intentional, but I'll get to that more in my goals for 2015. What I learned this year is that there are things that just happen and things that don't. Deadlines for work, homework assignments for school, meetings, networking events, conference calls, lunch appointments...those things seem to just happen, and what doesn't is spending quality time with those we love the most. You see, I'm married to a very patient, empathetic, loving, non-confrontational man who wants nothing more than for me to be happy. In between the perfect storm of all these factors however, I lost sight of the fact that I had unintentionally pushed him to the back burner. I didn't mean to, of course, but I'd lost control of my time. I'd said yes to too many things. I hadn't made our marriage, and my husband, a priority. I'm grateful for a good friend and an opportunity that helped me realize this before it was too late.
("For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Luke 12:34).
A good actor leaves the stage while the audience is still clapping. In August, I left a job I'd once described as my dream job. I walked away from Springfield Ballet, and many people (including my family and some close friends) were caught off guard and wondered, or are maybe still wondering, why I really left and if doing so was a "smart" decision. The decision to leave a job I truly loved did not come easily or without extensive prayer. Being trusted with an executive level position at just 23 years old was a huge privilege, and a huge responsibility, one I never took lightly. During my 3.5 years in my role, I stretched for and reached impressive milestones and celebrated much success. I worked with a great team and grew to love the dancers and their families like they were my own. But it was the right time to go. I planned and strategized my exit carefully, and when a good friend and industry mentor told me, "a good actor leaves the stage while the audience is still clapping," I knew I'd made the right choice at the right time.
("There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens."
Ecclesiastes 3:1).
Sometimes the last thing you want to do is the thing you need the most. I hate yoga. Well, I hated yoga. I had the idea in my head that I would never get into yoga because it stood for everything I wasn't good at: being quiet, being still, being in the present moment, clearing your mind, slowing down...not to mention the thought of adding heat to a workout was my own personal hell (literally). However, during my September sabbatical when a friend pressured me into giving hot yoga another try, I literally fell into the safe place I needed most. I found a place free from competition and comparison, a place where the emphasis is not on results but on the process, and a retreat from the stress of life that was taking its toll on me.
("Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance character, and character hope." Romans 5:3)
So there you have it - a little glimpse into what the world and the Lord have been teaching me over the last 365 days. It's been a big year, but aren't they all? I've always said, "have no regrets," because I firmly believe that something can be learned from every experience. God never promised that all things would be good, just that He "causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose for them (Romans 8:28). I'm still waiting to see the "aha" for some of the moments from last year, but I know that because of the things I lived through, I've learned, grown, been challenged, and been inspired to make 2015 count. What are you taking away from 2014?

The breast reduction procedure is a medical procedure performed by a plastic
surgeon, to reduce the size of the breasts, and very often shift the breast slightly
on the chest wall. In many cases, this procedure is not done for aesthetic reasons;
it is performed to reduce pain caused by large breasts. The pain could come
from the back, the neck, or shoulders. Most clients of First Health Finance
that have undergone this procedure have sworn it was the best thing they ever
did, and should have done this earlier. In most cases, their back/neck/shoulder
pain is largely gone
Certain medical aids will cover this procedure, if it has been explained in writing,
backed up by the relevant doctor, as to why the procedure is necessary.
However, many medical aids still view the procedure as elective, and will then
repudiate the cover. Even though there are medical reasons why a patient should
be covered, we recommend talking to your specialist and medical aid prior to
booking your procedure date.
The procedure typically takes a few hours, and sometimes a patient can go home the
same day. The operation is performed under general anesthetic, either in the
doctors own theatre, or in a general hospital. The healing process takes a
while, and some scarring will exist. The incision is near the areola, and runs
down the infra mammary crease. The scars are quite obvious, but do fade over
In terms of pain management, your specialist will provide meds to help with the
pain over the first few days, and after 3 or 4 days the pain should be reduced
significantly. After 2 or 3 weeks, most of the FHF patients have returned to
work feeling great. Follow up consults will follow with your plastic surgeon,
in order to ensure healthy healing.

Tell it to the Water
Nearly four hundred messages were gathered from events along the Leeds-Liverpool canal, all written onto dissolving paper strips which were carefully wrapped around pieces of coal and limestone. During September 2016 they were gently placed into the watery depths of the canal.

At the end of 2010, Facebook implemented what it thought was a revolution in messaging with a new service that combined email, text messaging, and instant messaging into one for the social network. As part of that new system, every Facebook user got an @facebook.com email address.
We're now in 2014, and Facebook has realized that its all-encompassing messaging revolution didn't work out as planned. In fact, in the first few days of March the social network is planning to shutdown the Facebook email service completely.
Removing the ability for over a billion users to send and receive email through their own @facebook.com addresses should have alarm bells ringing, especially when it is set to go offline in as little as a week's time. You'd be right if it wasn't for the fact no one uses Facebook email.
Facebook has admitted as much and claimed it is the main reason they no longer want to pursue email as a service on the social network. Users can continue to use the 3rd-party email address associated with their account, but facebook.com addresses will cease to work in the coming weeks. And the fact it will only be live for a couple more weeks shows you just how little the service must be used.
Hopefully no one reading this decided to use their facebook.com as a primary email address. That's the problem with such bolt-on services, there's no guarantee they will continue to exist several years down the line. You're much better off selecting a service that puts email first, like Gmail, Outlook, or Fastmail to name a few.

Much of our staff uses VARIDESK, and we're healthier and more productive because of it.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 20, 2013
VARIDESK™, a line of adjustable height sit-stand desks that promote a healthier and more productive work environment, is making its mark as the industry's most affordable and easy-to-use solution to address the dangers of sitting throughout the work day. Recent studies have proven that workers who sit for most of the day have many of the same health risks as smokers, including a 54% increased chance of death from heart attacks.
Launched in June at NeoCon 2013 in Chicago, where its debut garnered multiple awards including a Product Innovations Grand Prize, VARIDESK adjustable height sit-stand desks are already in use by many forward-thinking companies, including The Container Store, Gas Monkey Garage, Mary Kay, SMU and Viverae just to name a few. Although relatively new on desktops at these organizations, employees have already reported fewer aches and pains often associated with prolonged sitting, and are generally more productive and energetic when they stand to work.
In addition to these immediate health benefits, VARIDESK also addresses long-term health concerns faced by a largely seated workforce, as medical research from the Mayo Clinic, University of of Kansas, University of Western Sydney researchers, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and so many more continues to reveal that sitting at a desk for more than six hours a day can have a significantly negative impact on a person's health.
- Risk of heart attack is on par with people who smoke at least one pack of cigarettes per day
- The more people sit, the shorter their average life span, independent of their level of physical activity or exercise outside of work
- Sitting for the majority of the day increases overall risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes
- Leg muscles immediately become inactive, calorie burning drops dramatically, and ability to break down fat drops by a staggering 90%
"We know VARIDESK is the easiest to use and most affordable option for office workers who are looking for a way to incorporate standing up into their workday," said Jason McCann, president of VARIDESK's parent company, Gemmy Industries. "It's really a win-win for employees and the companies they work for, giving everyone a simple solution when looking for a way to work while sitting or standing. VARIDESK can literally improve employees' health and wellness, and the products give companies a way to promote a healthier, more productive workplace with a minimal investment."
Viverae CEO, Michael Nadeau, added "Offering VARIDESK as part of our client's health management programs supports our goal of impacting people's health by offering resources for healthier lifestyles. VARIDESK also helps us live our message at our own offices. Much of our staff uses VARIDESK, and we're healthier and more productive because of it."
VARIDESK comes fully-assembled and gets placed upon "normal" desktops, making it simple for users to turn their sitting desk into a stand-up desk, and back, in mere seconds. By squeezing the handles on each side of the upper portion of the VARIDESK, users can raise the desk to work from a standing position at intervals throughout the day. Squeezing the handles and lightly pushing down will return the VARIDESK to a lower position so users can work while sitting down.
These ergonomic desks are currently available in three sizes to accommodate a laptop setup or single or dual monitors on the upper portion of the desk, which easily moves up and down to adjust to various heights. Additionally, a free desktop can be used to remind users to stand periodically and also tracks the additional calories that are burned throughout the day by standing vs. sitting.
"It's been interesting to see the companies and individuals that have gravitated toward our VARIDESK solution," added McCann. "From call centers and law firms, to universities and municipalities, to creative types that work at a design or architecture firms, they've all made initial orders from us. We're seeing that the concept of improving your health by doing something as simple as standing up during the day is appealing to a broad swath of workplaces."
About VARIDESK
The VARIDESK™ concept was created within the walls of Gemmy Industries, a Dallas-based company founded in 1984 and best known for its groundbreaking designs and innovations in consumer products, seasonal décor, LED lighting and entertainment technology. In response to a corporate executive who was saddled with nagging back pain, Gemmy identified a need in the marketplace for an affordable, easily adjustable stand-up desk that could provide some relief for office workers stuck in a constant sitting position. In 2013, the company launched VARIDESK, a line of adjustable height stand-up desks that promote a healthier and more productive work environment by allowing you to easily transform your workspace from a sitting desk to a stand-up desk, and back, in mere seconds.

Confirmation preparation is intended for those youth who are baptized, have received First Eucharist, and are seeking to deepen their commitment to Christ and the Catholic Church through the Sacrament of Confirmation. It is a two year program of catechesis, personal faith development, and service for those entering 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade.
The program requirements and expectations will be presented at an information session for parents and prospective candidates on Sunday, September 9, 2018 at 1:00pm in the Community Room. Here is a summary of the preparation goals.
Next steps?
1. After attending the September 9th, Information Session, potential candidates schedule a one-on-one conversation with the Director of Faith Formation. Click here to review list of questions prior to conversation.
2. PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER before the candidate schedules her/his one-on-one meeting with the Director of Faith Formation. Candidates register using the online Confirmation Registration page (debit/credit card payments accepted) or a printed Registration form (cash and personal check only).
3. Candidate and parent complete a reflection paper due by October 1. Select 1 of 3 questions. You may arrange to discuss the reflection in person.
Information for the 2018-2019 year and a link for online Confirmation registration will be added in mid-August.
The following information was for the 2017-2018 year. The schedule for the 2018-2019 year will be similar.
Meeting times are Sunday, 12:15 - 2:00pm, and include two Sundays of focused talks, plus one Sunday of either service or reflection activities. The first 15 minutes is a shared meal with our RCIA candidates. Candidates should sign-up to bring food using the Sign-up Genius link.
Families should be registered members of St. Richard's Cathoilc Church. Follow this link to our New Member Registration page if you are not registered. However, if you are a member of another parish, you must request a letter from your pastor acknowledging that he is aware that your child is preparing to receive Confirmation through St. Richard. Here is a form you can personalize and provide to the pastor of your current parish.
Families in preparation for sacraments must meet two requirements:
(1) the child/ren must be currently participating in a program of systematic, approved catechesis in either a Catholic school or through a parish faith formation program; and
(2) all candidates for the reception of the sacrament(s) must be enrolled in a parish process of preparation for the reception of the sacrament(s), according to Archdiocesan standards.
For more information, please email Susie Osacho or call the parish office at 612-869-2426, ext. 120 or Beth Gaetz ( habla Español) at 612-869-2426, ext. 101.
For various reasons, some women and men who are practicing Catholics were not confirmed as teens. Those that were not confirmed earlier in life often find themselves seeking greater unity with the church later in life. St. Richard's Catholic Church deeply values those that yearn to share more fully in the life of this faith community and the global church.
For this reason, St. Richard's Catholic Church offers an ongoing program for adults seeking the Sacrament of Confirmation. Throughout the year, adult candidates are challenged to engage in active participation in the life of community through the celebration of Eucharist and service and ministry experiences. Furthermore, candidates will participate in formation sessions tailored to meet them wherever they find themselves in their faith journey as they seek confirmation. The actual liturgical celebration of confirmation is celebrated on Sundays throughout the year at Mass.
Those who were baptized in the Catholic or Protestant tradition, but not raised in the Catholic faith, may find the RCIA process more appropriate than adult confirmation. This is decided through conversation between the candidate for confirmation and the director of faith formation.
Those not baptized in any Christian tradition enter into the Catholic faith through a process called the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA).
Faith journeys, while supported and celebrated in community, are personal experiences and no two journeys look alike. Please contact Susie Osacho, Director of Faith Formation, to discern what process best fits your journey to relationship with Christ and the Church. Please remember that questioning is part of the faith process. There is no obligation or pressure to make any kind of commitment to a process or program. Inquiry into the faith is always most welcome!

Be the Model for Learning and for All Learners.
I am writing to encourage voters to approve the bond proposal for EISD. I believe I come to this from two unique points of view. First, I'm a parent of three at Eanes Elementary School; and secondly, I have had the good fortune to lead strategic transformations and design of major corporations and educational institutions around the country.
Our oldest is in the Gifted and Talented Program. Our second child has Special Needs. And the third is a peer model in the District's Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities (PPCD). Needless to say, we have broad and distinct academic challenges, and yet, our story isn't that unique. There are several families with both Special Needs and GT kids in our community.
But what is unique, is the District's unwavering commitment to individual learning styles and abilities, and their commitment to bring the best of all technologies, environments, curriculum and staff to ALL learners.
Our two oldest have been provided extraordinary opportunities, guidance, and teachers which most in our state are not afforded. This is not two ends of a bell curve but two voices of 8,000 unique student voices in our community.
And yet we can do far more to amplify and unlock all of their imaginations.
We recently asked several of our clients who lead major corporations and institutions on the forefront of our economy what they are looking for, and hoping for, of their future staff. They said success will come to those who are curious, creative, courageous, self-reliant, empathetic, collaborative and synthesizers to mention a few.
By the way these are attributes of most of our kids and how they learn and work already. Watch them outside of their concrete block classroom filled with rows of tablet-armed desks and see how they flourish, and what they create.
We must help guide our students to be creative thinkers, to be collaborative and critical problem solvers, to be even more tech savvy than they are, to have the ability to synthesize vast amounts of information and DO SOMETHING of value with it.
Our facilities, furniture and technology must support this type of work and learning, not hinder it. Agile and flexible spaces and technologies, nimble to adapt to all needs is where success lies. Every business is searching for the same.
Our kids work and learn in a very different way than their parents. Dad's old Buick, the old model of rows of desks and being talked to doesn't work anymore. Fear doesn't lead the future, hope does…along with a lot of unimaginable skills. Our buildings, technologies, furniture, curriculum and staff must all work together to create contemporary learning environments that will propel our students well into the future.
To do this it takes a commitment to that future, one that supports a new model of learning. A path that EISD is already on. We cannot afford to take a step back.

text: Hello Everyone, There's one build that I've been wanting to attempt for some time now, I've just been too intimidated to begin. This is (to date) the least posted forum in the case mods section; and if you've ever looked at the iMac G4 mods, they look extremely complex. I always loved the iMac G4, it came in on the heels of the G4 Cube and was an engineering wonder, in my opinion. Right off the top, I want to commend the Dremel Junkie, JBerg, for his comprehensive tutorials available on his website. Without his efforts to share his vast knowledge of the G4 iMac, this project would have never taken flight. I'm going to call this the NUCiMac G4, as it's going to utilize an i3 Intel NUC DC3217IYE motherboard/processor. It will have all the usual components in it, Apple BT & Wifi, mSATA storage, 8 GB RAM. One significant difference in this build over others I've seen so far is that it will operate with an internal 19V notebook power brick and a PicoPSU running off the stock power cord that shipped with the G4. I'm hopeful that the stock 65W PSU (that shipped with the NUC) will operate cool enough to run internally. This will provide the same clean "one plug" appearance that the iMac had natively. I chose the 17" model over the larger 20" due to lower LCD power demands. The larger version creates power consumption challenges that would not allow me to run a single power brick internally. The 17" will push out 1440x900 resolution which is adequate for the usage I have planned for this system. I found this pristine unit on Craigslist for 100 dollars. There isn't a mark on it, and the screen is perfect. It was fully functional on OSX Leopard when I got it home, but it was very slow on that version of OSX. This thread will contain the entire build log from start to finish. At the time of this post I'm about 1/2 way into the project, but am still waiting for parts to arrive for some portions of the build. I'm hopeful that this thread will bring some much needed attention to the iMac G4 forum, and perhaps shine a spotlight on a machine that I believe really deserves it. Cheers! Ersterhernd

Before President Xi Jinping's visit to Russia and Africa, China and Russia signed two major contracts on the sale of arms.
According to the contract, the two countries will jointly produce four Lada Class air-independent propulsion submarines which will then be sold to China. China will also buy 24 Su-35 jet fighters from Russia. Experts say that the Su-35 will reduce the pressure on China's air-defense before China's stealth fighter is put into use.
This is the first time China has bought important military equipment from Russia in ten years. The Defense Ministries of both countries have said that military cooperation between the two countries is of great significance in maintaining regional stability.

Air Pollution Emergencies
Air Pollution Emergency Rule
Under sections 550–562 of the Rules for the Control of Air Pollution in Idaho (IDAPA 58.01.01), known as the Air Pollution Emergency Rule, DEQ is authorized to manage and remedy pollution levels that may constitute a health emergency. The rule is designed to do the following:
- Define criteria for an air pollution emergency.
- Formulate a plan for preventing or alleviating such an emergency.
- Specify procedures for carrying out the plan.
The Air Pollution Emergency Rule outlines criteria that enable DEQ to take appropriate action when levels of regulated air pollutants cause or are predicted to cause a health emergency. The rule identifies four stages or levels of an emergency, with each stage addressing a progressively more serious air quality event.
|The National Weather Service issues an Atmospheric Stagnation Advisory, or an equivalent local forecast is issued, triggering an internal watch by DEQ.
|Air quality has degraded, requiring industrial sources to begin air pollution control actions.
|Air quality has further degraded, requiring control actions to maintain or improve air quality.
|Air quality has degraded to a level that will substantially endanger public health, requiring implementation of the most stringent control actions.
Air Pollution Emergency Criteria
Levels of pollutants in the atmosphere are determined through analysis of meteorological and ambient air quality monitoring data gathered by DEQ. Four criteria stages have been established for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 and 10 micrometers or less (PM2.5 and PM10), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). The criteria apply to any situation or circumstance where pollutants reach, or are predicted to reach and persist, at potentially unhealthful levels.
Following are the criteria levels for each of the four stages of an air pollution emergency:
|Stage 1
|Stage 2
|Stage 3
|Stage 4
|17 mg/m3 (15 ppm) 8-hr avg.
|34 mg/m3 (30 ppm) 8-hr avg.
|46 mg/m3 (40 ppm) 8-hr avg.
|1130 µg/m3 (0.6 ppm) 1-hr avg.
282 µg/m3 (0.15 ppm) 24-hr avg.
|2,260 µg/m3 (1.2 ppm) 1-hr avg.
565 µg/m3 (0.3 ppm) 24-hr avg.
|3,000 µg/m3 (1.6 ppm) 1-hr avg.
750 µg/m3 (0.4 ppm) 24-hr avg.
|400 µg/m3 (0.2 ppm) 1-hr avg.
|800 µg/m3 (0.4 ppm) 1-hr avg.
|1,000 µg/m3 (0.5 ppm) 1-hr avg.
|800 µg/m3 (0.3 ppm) 24-hr avg.
|1,600 µg/m3 (0.6 ppm) 24-hr avg.
|2,100 µg/m3 (0.8 ppm) 24-hr avg.
|80 µg/m3 1-hr avg.
50 µg/m3 24-hr avg.
|385 µg/m3 1-hr avg.
150 µg/m3 24-hr avg.
|350 µg/m3 24-hr avg.
|420 µg/m3 24-hr avg.
|500 µg/m3 24-hr avg.
Actions Required During an Air Pollution Emergency
Emergency criteria apply to any situation or circumstance where pollutants reach, or are predicted to reach and persist at, potentially unhealthful levels. Once an episode stage is reached or DEQ has determined that reaching a particular stage is imminent, emergency action corresponding to that stage will remain in effect until air quality measurements indicate that another stage (either lower or higher) has been attained. At such time, actions corresponding to the next stage will go into effect. This procedure will continue until the episode is terminated.
The following actions are required during each of the four air pollution emergency stages:
Stage 1: Air Pollution Forecast and Caution
- Open burning of any kind is prohibited.
Stage 2: Alert
Includes the measure for Stage 1 and the following:
- Using burners and incinerators to dispose of solid waste is prohibited.
- Operating fuel-burning equipment that requires boiler lancing or soot blowing is limited to between noon and 4 p.m.
- Commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities using coal or residual fuel oil must switch to natural gas or distillate oil if available.
Stage 3: Warning
Includes all measures for Stages 1, 2, and 3 and the following:
- All places of employment must either stop operations immediately or reduce emissions to the maximum extent possible.
- When an emergency episode is declared for carbon monoxide, driving motor vehicles is prohibited except in emergencies or with the approval of local or state police or DEQ.
Stage 4: Emergency
Includes all measures for Stages 1, 2, and 3 and the following:
- All places of employment must either stop operations immediately or reduce emissions to the maximum extent possible.
- When an emergency episode is declared for carbon monoxide, driving motor vehicles is prohibited except in emergencies or with the approval of local or state police or DEQ.
Keeping the Public Informed of Air Pollution Emergencies
It is DEQ's responsibility to inform the public of air pollution emergencies. Via the news media, DEQ takes the following actions during air pollution episodes:
- Defines the extent of the problem
- Indicates actions taken
- Provides the air pollution forecast
- Gives notice when the next update will occur
- Outlines the procedures that must be implemented by the public, commercial, institutional and industrial sectors
- Issues specific warnings and advice to those who, because of acute or chronic health problems, may be most susceptible to the effects of the episode.

KMA Health Priorities -- Cancer
More than 1 million Americans, including more than 26,000 Kentuckians, get cancer each year, according to the American Cancer Society. Many types of cancers can be prevented, including all cancers caused by tobacco use and heavy alcohol consumption. Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the U.S., exceeded only by heart disease. But many people survive cancer; in fact, the survival rate for all cancers diagnosed in 2004-2010 was 68 percent, up from 49 percent for those cancers diagnosed in 1975-1977.
The kyhealthnow initiative set as a goal reducing the state's death rate from cancer of 207.4 per 100,000 by 10 percent by 2020. Many organizations provide information on how to prevent cancer or to help deal with a diagnosis.

Erectile dysfunction is a condition in which a man is not able to achieve and maintain an erection that is required for sexual activity. There are many effective medications for impotence in the market and one among them is Levitra. This drug is available in both brands as well as the generic version in an online pharmacy. Men would like to choose Levitra but they would be confused on which variant to choose. To take a decision, it is important for you to know about the difference between them. Reading this further would help you to take a decision.
What to choose a brand or generic Levitra?
It is up to you in deciding what to choose. First of all, know the difference between brand and generic Levitra. If you buy Levitra online, you would get the pills which contain vardenafil as an active ingredient in it. Even if you purchase cheap generic Levitra, you would get the pills with the same active ingredient and this is the chemical which helps a man to achieve an erection. The difference between the two variants lies in its inactive ingredient, you can order generic after knowing what all ingredients are present in it.There are some people who might be allergic to an inactive ingredient called as colloidal silicon dioxide. They can buy generic Levitra which does not contain this particular inactive ingredient.
Are you really tired of spending so much on ED medications? Then purchase generic Levitra as it would be very cheap. Spend just $151 for generic Levitra in the dosage strength of 20 mg for 60 pills. It means for buying generic Levitra you have to just pay $2 approximately per pill. For buying a brand Levitra, you have to pay at least $5 per pill for the same dosage strength. You can go with brand Levitra if you are not concerned about the money.
When comparing the authentic quality of the brand and generic Levitra, both the medications are the same. If you purchase Levitra online, you can get pills at the top class quality.
Success rate of brand and generic Levitra
The success rate of both the variants of this medication is very high. Since the effectiveness of this drug varies from one person to another, you can order Levitra after knowing which is appropriate for you. Few people had commenced their impotency treatment with brand Levitra but would have later changed to a generic variant. Some would experience similar effect like brand drug whereas others would have no effect on them. So, it totally depends on you. To make it easier to analyze, buy the trial pack of both brand and generic Levitra. Take one pill at a time and check for the effectiveness in you. Make sure that you always choose reputed online pharmacies to purchase Levitra. The type of pills that you have chosen would be delivered to your doorstep. Whatever version you choose, it is definitely possible for you to achieve an erection that is required to perform sexual activity.
