Ms. Ann's boudoir session was so gratifying in so many ways. I wanted to create subtle, yet sexy and classy images for her as she wanted to give her husband an boudoir album for their 22nd anniversary. When I asked for one piece of advice for a long, lasting beautiful marriage, she replied, "Go out on date night every week!" That advice was given to me before and even though that seems impossible with two kids these days, we will definitely try to go out more as we will be celebrating our anniversary some time soon.
Thank you Ms. Ann for a fun, memorable session. I cannot wait to hear what your husband says when you give him your album.

Prescription drugs are hugely beneficial to the health and wellness of many people throughout the country, but the nonmedical use and abuse of prescription drugs has become a large problem. While initial use of the drug is voluntary, continued use of the prescription drug can lead to changes in the brain and the hormones your body produces.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, about 52 million people have used prescription drugs in a nonmedical capacity at least once in their lives. One survey from NIDA found that 1 in 12 high school seniors had used Vicodin for non-medical reasons in 2010, while 1 in 20 had used OxyContin.
Symptoms differ based on the type of prescription drug you are abusing. When used appropriately, opioids can effectively help you mitigate chronic pain and improve your quality of life. When abused, opioids cause a distinct sense of euphoria, but they can be life threatening in the event of an overdose. When taken in conjunction with central nervous system depressants, opioids can increase the risk of death by respiratory depression.
Central nervous system depressants, usually benzodiazepines, work directly on GABA, a neurotransmitter that can cause feelings of calm, drowsiness, and physical relaxation, making it an effective treatment for anxiety disorders and insomnia. However, after extended use of CNS depressants, you may require more or a higher dosage to feel some of the same effects. Using depressants with alcohol also slows down your breathing and heart rate to a dangerous point. Suddenly stopping use can also lead to life-threatening symptoms.
Stimulants were initially designed to treat obesity and asthma but have since been adjusted to treat depression, ADD, and other disorders. When taken properly, stimulants increase your energy, alertness, and concentration. Physically, they can increase heart rate and blood pressure and open respiratory system pathways. When abused, they have a high potential for addiction and can lead to dangerous health symptoms, like high body temperature and irregular heart rate.
The rise in prescription drug abuse in Florida and other states is often attributed to the generally increased availability of drugs. Furthermore, online pharmacies make it very easy for even kids and teens to purchase prescription drugs.
HARP provides a medical team experienced in the treatment of prescription drug abuse as well as a safe, supportive space to help you recover from prescription drug abuse. To learn more or get help today, please call us at (877) 806-5022.

Hospice care is compassionate, comfort care for patients at the end of life. Our medical doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, therapists and volunteers provide home-based care and assistance that empower the patient, caregiver and family to have the fullest and most meaningful end-of-life experience.
When a new patient comes to us, an interview with our medical and social work staff establishes a care plan that meets the patient and family's unique goals and circumstances. Hospice staff, volunteers and community resources are configured to provide patient comfort, ease care-giver responsibilities and guide the family through the many details that arise.
Most often hospice care is provided at the patient's home where they are most comfortable. When circumstances dictate, hospice care can be provided in a hospital or nursing home.
Hospice services are fully paid for by Medicare, Medicaid and most commercial insurers. A medical opinion that the patient has 6 months or less to live is required from the patient's primary care or specialized physician. This does not mean that our care is limited to 6 months; with proper approval, coverage can be extended based on changing patient prognosis.
To an overwhelming degree, patients and families we serve say that they waited too long before calling us. Many patients thrive under our timely and loving care. This is because hospice care is not a last resort, but a last earthly reward. It allows families to step back from the complexities of legal, insurance and other matters and focus on a bucket list and creating more memories.
Chautauqua Hospice & Palliative Care is the only Medicare-certified hospice provider in Chautauqua County. No other healthcare provider can provide the gold standard Medicare hospice benefit in Chautauqua County.
If you or a loved one is in the late stages of life, please speak with us about the services we offer.

Atlanta calls itself The City Too Busy to Hate. Philadelphia has long been known as The City of Brotherly Love. New York, NY is The City So Nice They Named It Twice. Are these tag lines an attempt to convince us that cities are not the concrete jungles of our imaginations? Or could the public relations hype actually be true?
In Chicago I witnessed a motorcycle accident in which the biker, who was stopped at a red light, lost her balance and fell face-down. Badly shaken and bleeding from having knocked out at least one of her teeth, the woman sat crying in the middle of the city street. Her riding companion helped her to the curb and a couple walking on the sidewalk stopped to help. My friend crossed the street to offer encouraging and calming words to the injured woman. He wanted to ensure that the couple intended to wait with her until the ambulance arrived—not an insignificant wait, though the average response time to a 911 call in various cities is a topic for another discussion.
After the incident, my friend mused about city life, suggesting that it fosters isolation and an unfriendly stance toward one's neighbors. He wondered whether city people are less likely to help a stranger than their suburban counterparts, asking me, "Did we witness an exception that proves the rule, or has my perception of societal norms been adversely affected by living in Chicago?"
I am not naturally inclined toward cynicism, nor have I personally experienced the breakdown of the social contract between neighbors in the cities in which I have lived. Still, his question lingers in my mind as I walk the quiet streets of my suburban neighborhood, where people generally drive alone in the climate-controlled comfort of their cars. My neighbors wave to me as I wait for the traffic to abate so that I can cross to the sidewalk which runs along only one side of the street.
Are city dwellers too busy to be friendly or too busy to care about the persistent urban myth of their social isolation?

I've been twice to Pulau Weh in the last years. First time because I was in Aceh and decided to check it out. I didn't dive though and later I was in Padang and realized you could now fly straight to Sabang from Medan.
Overall Pulau Weh offers nice beaches, good diving but not much more. You can include it as a beach escape in a larger trip to Sumatera but I don't think it's worth the trip on its own. It's a good destination if you are living in Singapore though.
The website Sumatra-Eco Tourism has uploaded a good map of the island. The tourism scene gravitates around the beaches of Iboih and Gapang in the North-East.
I always stayed at Gapang because it feels more like a beach than Iboih that more "urbanised". Both are not far from each others so you can always switch if you want.
Besides diving and relaxing on the beach, there is really not much to do there. By renting a motorbike you can find some more remote beach and nice views.
Diving is good but not exceptional for Indonesian standards. I mean Pulau Weh is way less impressive than Raja Ampat or Komodo for instance.
You can still expect some decent corals and lots of fishes. I remember that we spotted some unusual sights like a honeycomb muray getting its teeth cleaned or an octopus catching a fish.
The dive shops claim that some big pelagic can be seen (like mola mola, whale shark or mantas). I don't know exactly in which extent this is true. I just saw an eagle ray on my side.
Fair point : it's not really crowded underwater so the diving conditions are quite good.
I'm not gonna dwell upon too much because the Wikitravel page is quite accurate and comprehensive. Key takeaways :
- You can either fly with Garuda from Medan (and Batam) to Sabang or take the ferry from Banda Aceh.
- For ferry schedules, check the website of local dive operators for up to date informations (ex: Lumba Lumba).
- Different kind of accommodation available. Starts around 70'000Rp if I remember well in Gapang.
- Scooters can be rented for about 100'000Rp a day.
Pulau Weh is a popular destination in the weekend and it gets very crowded in case of long weekend. Booking ahead is really recommended in this case (be especially cautious in May).

Nine planets are in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Apart from Earth, these planets were named after the gods of Roman mythology. If you're having difficulty remembering the order of the planets, a few memory tricks can help you keep them straight.
The Inner Planets
The planets closest to the Sun are small, and are largely composed of rocks and metals.
Mercury's orbit ranges from between 29 million miles and 43 million miles from the sun. It is mostly composed of iron. Because it has no atmosphere, and orbits close to the sun, temperatures on Mercury can vary wildly, from over 400 degrees Celsius to under negative 150 degrees.
Venus is roughly the size of Earth, and orbits 67 million miles from the sun. Its thick, toxic atmosphere traps heat, making Venus the hottest planet, with temperatures that can reach over 460 degrees Celsius.
The Earth is your home planet, orbiting between 91 million and 94 million miles from the sun. Earth is dense and composed of metals such as iron and nickel. It is largely covered with liquid water, and the only planet known to support life.
Mars orbits at an average 142 million miles from the sun, and is roughly half the size of Earth. It has two visible icy poles, and appears red because it is covered in rusty, iron-composed minerals.
These four inner planets are separated from the outer planets by the asteroid belt, a ring of asteroids 92 million miles wide.
The Outer Planets
Apart from Pluto, the outer planets of the solar system are gas giants, which are largely composed of thick, swirling clouds of gas. You can use this difference to remember which planets are inner and outer.
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, and has a mass greater than all the other planets combined. It orbits between 460 million and 508 million miles from the sun, and has 67 moons.
Saturn orbits between 839 and 938 miles from the sun, and is best known for its visually impressive rings, whose diameter is as wide as the planet itself. Saturn has 62 moons, the largest of which is named Titan.
Uranus orbits at an average of 1.79 billion miles from the sun, and has a distinct light blue color. It has faint rings, and orbits around the sun on its side -- its south pole is pointed directly at the sun.
Neptune is a dark blue gas planet that is smaller and heavier than Uranus. It orbits 2.8 billion miles from the sun, and has 14 known moons.
As of 2006, Pluto is considered a dwarf planet rather than a planet, but is still often considered among the nine planets. It orbits between 2.76 and 4.59 billion miles from the sun, and is composed of rock and ice. Temperatures on Pluto are cold, under negative 200 degrees Celsius.
Mnemonics for Remembering the Planets
A mnemonic is a tool you can use to help memorize the planet order. In a mnemonic you take the first letter of each planet's name and create a sentence out of them. For example:
"My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas"
You then memorize this sentence, and can recall it to remember how different planet names are arranged. Many mnemonics are available for the planet names, and you can even create your own. Check with your teacher about whether to include Pluto before you start using your mnemonic to memorize the planets.

ENFJ personality type
ENFJ: Extravert-iNtuitive-Feeler-Judger
- Extraverts are outgoing, energetic and action-oriented. They are enthusiastic and expressive
- iNtuitives pay more attention to information that is imaginative and original. iNtuitives focus on the future.
- Feelers let their feelings and emotions play a leading role because of their concern for other people.
- Judgers prefer a lifestyle that is decisive, planned and orderly. They like a life that is organized and controlled.
An ENFJ at a glance
Realizing dreams, their own and those of others, is what life is all about for an ENFJ. They are outgoing, enthusiastic, articulate, empathetic, decisive and above all, passionate about life! ENFJs are productive and organized people that are very energetic. They are usually very good at anything that captures ones imagination and interest.
Because their self-confidence and enthusiasm is contagious, people enjoy being around an ENFJ. They love their straight-forward approach, directness and drive to get things done. ENFJs have the ability to juggle several thoughts and projects at the same time. They get a kick from their current achievements and are excited about the possibilities of the future.
Their probable contributions to an organization
Each personality type has a different set of skills, talents and attributes that they bring to an organization, group or relationship. Here is a list of those most commonly associated with personality types like ENFJ.
- Brings energy, warmth, enthusiasm, fun and cooperation to tasks.
- Seeks to be fair and ethical.
- Shines under appreciation - the greater the appreciation, the greater the dedication to an organization.
On a team
Some people work well on teams, others work best on their own. Understanding the personality types of team members provides information about how individuals are likely to carry out their work and interact with each other. Given the personality preferences of an ENFJ, the following are the strengths (and possible weaknesses!) they will most likely bring to a team:
- Is a natural leader and facilitator.
- Brings structure and organization to the group along with humor and sensitivity.

On the Threshold of Knowing
Lectures and Performances in Art and Academia
In this in-depth analysis of artistic and academic lectures and performances, Lucia Rainer features an innovative conceptual and methodological tool that augments Goffman's Frame Analysis with a praxeological perspective. This way, she gives profound insight into how knowledge – as a practice and a concept – is associated with clarity rather than truth. Based on four case studies – including John Cage's unpublished and unabridged audio recording of Lecture on Nothing – the study explores how the concept of lecture performances, which adheres to two frames that never entirely blend, provides a space to (re-)negotiate the artistic-academic relationship.

What will the tourism industry do about the spread of protests over hotel working conditions?

Yet the Korean Federation of Private Service Workers marked the occasion by protesting in front of the country's ministry of culture and tourism over hotel working conditions.

About Monks
Patrick Abbott, the founder and owner of Monks Coffee Roasters, has always been a great coffee lover. He has been working in the coffee industry for years – from helping people designing their business models to setting up cafes. When Patrick got the opportunity to come to Holland, he wanted to have his own coffee place… so he founded Monks, on the Bilderdijkstraat in Amsterdam.
It all started over a cup of coffee
Patrick knew he needed a POS system, so he started out with Lightspeed. However, the system is too complex for a small cafe like Monks (35 seats) and the monthly fee is expensive. Also, the sales person in charge was a bit pushy and was not particularly good at explaining the system. Patrick knew there are other options out there and thus began asking other cafes in the neighbourhood.
He was given different advice about different systems but several of the cafes were using WaiterOne. The solution is inexpensive as it was quite new in the marketplace, so Patrick decided to give it a try. After a few months using the system, he met John.
John, CEO of Countr POS, is a Monks regular customer. He lives above the coffee place and often stops by for a coffee before heading to work.
"John told us about what he is working on, showed us the demonstration of the system, explained how it works and how much it costs." says Patrick. He signed up for the free trial and played around with the app.
The switch
Another reason that made Patrick decided to switch from WaiterOne is its customer support. "It was almost impossible to contact the support and tell them our problems," says Patrick, "not to mention that it took a long time to get a response back." Moreover, if there is a problem with WaiterOne, Patrick has to wait until the next app release to have it solved.
Patrick needs a system that is going to work for him and grow with him simultaneously. Having the right point of sale system in place is vital for him because it counts his money. If it doesn't work well, he will let go. "If the system doesn't work, I would not know how much sales I made. It looks like we are selling coffee, doing fine, but we need to know exactly what's selling and what's not."
Thus, he thought maybe it's time to switch.
"John asked us what we wanted in the app and what sort of features we need. It was a great approach to begin with. When I talked about different aspects of the program that we needed, John says he can make it happen or he can fix it for us. So, it feels like we are special and have a customised version of the app – and that's really good!"
The switchover happened very quick – all done in less than an hour. The app was already set up for Monks and within short period of time it was up and running. "Countr's on-boarding process was straightforward and easy. The app is working just fine."
All that we need in one system
Monks has been using Countr for a few months and the system has lent a much-needed hand. For example, it significantly reduced the error margins on the cash register. "We had problem with our till before. At the end of the day everything was not adding up because we have separate keypad for bank cards. It never happened with Countr, we found the system is very accurate."
Having Countr in place is not only beneficial when evaluating sales data, but also valuable for making data-driven decision in real-time. The reporting tools provide him with actionable insights that he needs to measure the success of his business.
Countr keeps us on track. I really like the reporting features – the analysis is very good and it helps me to understand how we are doing (business wise).
Thanks to Countr, Patrick is also able to make a customised list of tables – a feature that WaiterOne was trying to introduce but never worked for him. It is important for Patrick to have this feature as it helps him to be more organised and keep better order accuracy.
Patrick explained that dedicated customer service was his main reason for choosing Countr – he appreciates there being a team there to assist him whenever he has a question.
The support team is reachable and always accessible if we need something – the answers are always there.
"Additionally, John is watching how we are growing and that is important. It is good to have the boss nearby." says Patrick while laughing. "He cares a lot about the app because it is his baby."
Patrick says he often gets questions from his customers about the system he is using. "They see how I handle the order and payment, and they ask what system I use. I show them how the system works and give them John's card – in case they want to know more about Countr. I believe in the system so I want to give support as much as possible. It's done a lovely job, why not promote it?"
Not only does Patrick let his customers play around with the app, but he also speaks to his colleagues who pointed him in the direction of WaiterOne – "this is my graduation from WaiterOne and now I've switched to Countr". They come to Monks to see how the system works and discuss with the Countr team the possibilities to switchover.
By using Countr point of sale technology, you can simplify your day-to-day business process and focus on growing your business. The system helps you to run a more efficient business. It covers you from taking payment to processing sales to managing inventories and gathering customer data.
Secret to Monks successful coffee business
Since Monks has opened to the public, the place is always full of happy customers. It has a growing number of regular customers coming back all the time, and has an extremely high ratings across social media platforms and review sites. Patrick and his team know his regulars – who they are, the coffee they drink, and even their seat preferences. They are working hard to make their customers feel comfortable and welcomed, everyone receiving warm greetings from the staff when they walk in.
"Generally, people need three places in their daily life. The first place is your home, the second place is your work, and then you need one other place – somewhere you go and feel comfortable, somewhere else you like to spend your time. We want to make their third place our place, not somewhere else. We put a lot of effort to achieve that. It is actually not too difficult. It really is about doing the simple things well and ensuring the staff are happy with what they are doing."
Patrick always make sure that he and his team deliver the best service. The staff are always well-trained and they have very high product knowledge. Patrick also knows it is important for the staff to have everything that they need to do their jobs properly. He says that he has been really lucky with the promotion and publicity that Monks are getting. He created Facebook and Instagram accounts but only did a little promotion there. "Most of the pictures on social media are posted by our customers. They tag us, we repost it. There are a lot of photos and great reviews on Google as well, so bloggers found us very quickly when they are looking for a cafe in Amsterdam. They take photos and write about us because we make excellent coffee."
It is important to always make sure that the product is what it says to be. If you are consistent, you cannot fail because people will choose your place.
If you want to check out Monks Coffee Roasters, it is located on Bilderdijkstraat 46, Amsterdam. On the surface, Monks is a coffee place but in fact, it's a place where friends and family come to relax and reconnect. Who knows it might be your new favourite place for catching up with a friend… or even your next office away from the office!

However I know there is at least a few people who would like to verify that the list of java files matches expected (actually a client I work with wrote a custom task to verify just that). -- Cheers, Pete ------------------------------------------------------- "When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries of life disappear and life stands explained." -Mark Twain ------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:email@example.com>

There has to be consequences, right? The government and credit agencies couldn't just let you take a bath on your home and leave you be.
- Taxes – In the event that your lender agrees to the short sale, it's a good possibility they may be able to issue a 1099 for the difference on your unpaid balance. The provision lies in a section about debt forgiveness. You will want to consult a real estate lawyer who can help you estimate the potential amount of taxes you may owe under this provision.
- Credit – A short sale will not appear on your credit report. However, the status of your loan will show up. If you are in default on your loan and you complete a short sale it would be considered a redeemed pre foreclosure. It's often shown as 'paid in full for less than agreed'. Creditors will know you completed a short sale and while you may not think its done a lot of damage to your rating, creditors ultimately make the final decision on whether to give you a loan, not your credit rating.

Robert Gagnon responds to Church of England's guidance on bullying
Robert Gagnon, former Associate Professor of New Testament at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, writes about Archbishop Justin Welby and the Church of England's new advice on handling 'homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying'. Article reproduced by permission.
Justin Welby for some time now has shown himself to be unfit to head up the Church of England. The purpose of the office of bishop (episcopos, overseer) in the church is first and foremost to secure faithful adherence to the doctrines, including ethical stances, of the core teachings of Jesus and the apostolic witness to him in the New Testament. As regards matters of sexual ethics the current Archbishop of Canterbury has failed. Indeed, he has been slowly working in the opposite direction from that which his position demands. This latest appalling "guidance" to 4700 CofE schools regarding how to handle transgenderism provides further evidence for his unfitness.
To claim that providing space for children to be socialized into a "transgender" or homosexual life is consistent with the teaching of Jesus and the apostolic witness to Christ (especially Paul) is heresy, pure and simple. It is not for nothing that Genesis 1:27 (to which Jesus appealed as the central text for sexual purity, along with Gen 2:24) correlates being made in God's image closely with being made "male and female," an expression that everywhere else in the Hebrew Bible (all in Gen 1-9) denotes a complementary sexual pair.
This was ancient Israel's way of saying, via divine inspiration, that God's creation of "male and female" impinges on the affirmation of humans being created in God's image. To act immorally, especially to offend against one's God-given identity of "male" and "female" through gender-negating acts, is to commit sacrilege that effaces rather than enhances one's divine image-bearing.
Consequently it is absurd to appeal to the fact that all humans are made in God's image as a justification for providing "safe spaces" for affirming homosexual practice or transgenderism. Sadly, this is precisely what Welby does when he states in support of this new "(anti-)guidance":
"Central to Christian theology is the truth that every single one of us is made in the image of God. Every one of us is loved unconditionally by God. This guidance helps schools to offer the Christian message of love, joy and celebration of our humanity without exception or exclusion."
On the contrary, a faithful appeal to our image-bearing is a call against any compromise to the inherently self-dishonoring actions associated intrinsically with homosexual and transgender activity. God loves people unconditionally not as an encouragement to celebrate sexual immorality but as a stimulus and empowerment away from such practices.
Moreover, while God's love is unconditional, salvation by grace is not: It requires faith in Christ's atoning work and resurrection, which, while not meritorious, in turn leads invariably to a transformed life away from sin's lordship. Otherwise the faith in question is not true faith but rather mere intellectual assent to the truth. This is why Paul warns self-professed believers of destruction if they should persist unrepentantly in gross sexual sin (1 Thess 4:1-9), including homosexual practice and transgenderism (1 Cor 6:9-10).
As a result, those who violate these commands with impunity are indeed excluded (as a remedial, not punitive measure) from the fellowship of the church (1 Cor 5). The point of such discipline is to bring about repentance, without which the individual will be excluded from God's kingdom. To turn this around to mean that allowance (and, by action, implicit promotion) of transgenderism is consistent with "the Christian message of love, joy and celebration of our humanity without exception or exclusion" is to make a breathtaking nullification of the NT witness.
That the Archbishop of Canterbury does not know this, much less comply with it, is all the proof any faithful Anglican needs that, however nice Welby may be or faithful in other respects, he has violated the obligations of his office and should no longer be accorded the authority normally associated with it.
Andrea Minichiello Williams of Christian Concern is quite right when she states:
"These rules are unkind, unloving and lacking in compassion. We are all against bullying, but the Church is using these guidelines to pursue an agenda that runs counter to the Church's teaching.... We are getting to the point where if you are not careful the slightest slip from the correct agenda in a Church of England school will get you punished. The anti-bullying agenda is aimed against people who step out of line – the anti-bullies are becoming the bullies."

Internal consistency is very important when developing an overall bank of organizational job descriptions. The employer may want to select specific formats, fonts, logos, and other elements to streamline and standardize the appearance of the documents. Consistent language such as preferred action words and frequently used terms can help create cohesiveness throughout. Internal consistency may also help "ensure equitable comparisons of content across jobs" in justifying employee salary decisions (Milkovich and Newman, 1990).
The term 'job description' is a flexible one, but here I'll be using it in a modern context, to describe all of the copy you'd use on an online job board. It usually includes information like job title, duties, salary, etc.

- It leads to unsustainable population growth that destroys natural resources like forests, which turn into cities
- Mass immigration into the Western World occurs, liberals welcome the invaders, social services collapse due to the pressure of the extra population. Cities expand, global warming is worsened
- Libs blame whitey
As I am negating this resolution, the burden of proof falls to the pro side to prove that Liberalism and White Guilt will actually destroy the world.
I will now respond to my opponents arguments.
My opponent has offered no evidence of any kind in support of his wild, ignorant assumptions, thus they should not be considered to hold any validity or truthfulness.
Vote Con.
It is more like making some points across about the fact that white guilt ends up making damage to both european and african nations, by making the african population baloon, which leads to social conflict and immigration to Europe, where even MORE social conflict will occur
it is OK if you dont wanna address my points that the environment is being destroyed in the tropicals as the population explodes, and mass immigration is destroying Europe as consequence
1. It has not been proven that white guilt alone causes aid to be sent to foreign nations. Moreover, it is unproven that this causes population booms, and finally it is unproven that this leads to any of the impacts you have proposed.
2. In response to the environmental and social conflict impacts, even if your link was to still stand, or if you could prove that white guilt causes this, neither of these would destroy the world.
Vote Con.
Also, without white guilt, politican support for foreign aid would be minimal, and politicians wasting money in such adventures would be removed quickly from office

We believe our work best demonstrates who we are and what we do. The following gives a flavor of the challenges our clients face. As you will see, our clients are as diverse as the goals we help them achieve:
* An emerging global company seeking to establish its corporate reputation

A few questions for an e-mail interview...
0) First, do you see a slowdown in the Indian economy?
1) Between India and China, how do you see the growth shaping up? Is there a likelihood of India overtaking China?
2) On China, again, a few additional questions: What do you think are the major problems? Are currency and repatriation issues to contend with? Do we have the data on repatriation from China? Do the Chinese make good JV partners? Are there lessons that Indian business can learn from China, and vice versa?
3) Investors have been bullish about India. What, according to you, are the major factors that attract investors? At the same time, we see Indian businesses setting up units in other countries... your view.
4) What policy changes (law and tax) are required in India to make the country more attractive as an investment destination?
5) On your work for governments and government bodies, across the world. (e.g. HK, Gujarat) Is it a good idea for governments to use their swelling forex reserves for investing abroad?
6) As emerging economies, are China and India falling into the same traps that the developed world fell into - (e.g. traffic congestion, uncontrolled auto expansion...)
7) Any other points of interest.

The agency says the increase in its new housing price index was powered by gains in Toronto and Oshawa, which were slightly offset by a decline in Vancouver.
On a year-over-year basis, the index was up 2.3 per cent in February, following a 2.4 per cent increase in January, with the gains again driven by prices in Toronto and Oshawa.
The largest year-over-year increases were recorded in Regina (up 5.9 per cent), Toronto and Oshawa (up 5.8 per cent) and Winnipeg (up 3.8 per cent).
The largest month-to-month increase came in Regina, where prices were up 2.4 per cent because of higher land development costs and higher costs for material and labour.
Prices were unchanged in five of the 21 metropolitan regions surveyed.

Global Disability Innovation Hub aims to 'disrupt disability'
A new hub aiming to improve the lives of the world's one billion disabled people through technology, co-design and innovation is coming to the heart of East London.
The Global Disability Innovation (GDI) Hub, based within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, is being led by University College London (UCL), with partners including the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC), Loughborough University London, London College of Fashion, Leonard Cheshire Disability, the Victoria and Albert Museum and Sadler's Wells Theatre.
The idea emerged from work led by UCL's Catherine Holloway into finding practical uses for the latest research on disability and innovation. The Hub's development was spurred on by a UCL Grand Challenge award, led by Dr Maria Kett, that allowed over 150 people to take part in a week of 'hacks' focusing on a number of challenges, including designing transport for Zimbabwean disabled children and developing methods for people with visual impairments to navigate the new UCL East campus.
"From a personal perspective I have had a desire to create a centre where people could co-develop their own assistive technologies for some time and I proposed this idea when UCL Engineering looked for possible projects for our new UCL East campus," says Holloway, now co-director of the GDI Hub.
"It became apparent quite quickly, working with LLDC's Paralympic Legacy team and realising the scope of opportunity afforded by the partners coming together on the Cultural and Educational District of the Park, that this could be much bigger than I had first envisaged.
"I am very keen to ensure that the Hub develops spokes globally, each one dedicated to developing new ways of co-creating assistive technologies, of embedding sensor technology for adaptability and feedback and to developing metrics of success."
The goal is for the GDI Hub to become a leading centre of research and knowledge sharing, as its manifesto highlights:
"Taking inspiration from CERN we are ambitious. We intend to become the world's leading cross-disciplinary research and practice centre on disability issues. Barefoot activism meets robust research meets tech solutions – we believe that creativity, innovation and change comes from the spaces between the places where we feel comfortable right now."
It may still be very early days – the Hub was officially launched in September – but already many innovative multidisciplinary research projects are underway alongside outreach activities and new academic opportunities.
Projects that have already begun include two funded by the EPSRC. Power-up! is focusing on developing novel driving interfaces and power supplies for wheelchairs, while the aim of Accessible Routes from Crowdsourced Cloud Services (ARCCS) is to create small sensors that attach to wheelchairs and automatically classify surface type and number of pushes, using this information to develop maps highlighting accessibility.
"Following on from this we have a project called Street Rehab where we are transferring learning from ARCCS to India and working with a team there to create accessible maps of New Delhi," says Holloway.
"Then we have a research project looking at how customisation of prosthetics can promote individual identity through form and function and a team of disabled people (LLDC's Built Environment Access Panel) working with LLDC to ensure their world-leading inclusive design standards are applied and to inform and support the planning of new buildings and homes on the Park – including the new UCL campus," she highlights.
There are many different ways people can get involved with the Hub, with a growing online community where people from around the world can exchange ideas and findings, outreach events including further hackathons planned for the near future and new academic courses currently in development.
These include sponsored PhD opportunities with the Hub's founding partners and a new MSc course that will see students work on practical projects with local makers and practitioners.
"We are developing an MSc in global disability innovation," says Holloway. "UCL is leading this, but it will be delivered with Loughborough in London and UAL's London College of Fashion."
The aim is for this course to encourage and attract disabled people from a range of different backgrounds, as the Hub recognises that "diversity makes genuine real sense and lived experience is essential to good decision-making".
In addition it will be launching a number of PhD studentships for a September 2017 start and is currently scoping short-course opportunities around issues like inclusive design.
The Hub has also set a date for its first-ever summit: 13-14 July 2017.
"We have just appointed our first two members of staff," enthuses Holloway, "one of whom's sole task is to deliver the summit. It is envisioned that there will be satellite events across the country, with the main event taking place at UCL East's temporary campus at Here East."
It's an exciting time for those interested in 'disrupting disability' and there are many different possibilities for engineers from all walks of life to get involved. Holloway is excited to see what the future will bring and hopes that interest will be high in the Hub's various activities, with more to be added next year including volunteering and teaching opportunities.

I know, it's Valentine's Day. But it's also the week of the Wakefield Rhubarb Festival, and frankly
Mine came from Daylesford Organic, the posh farmshop-in-the-Cotswolds run by Lady Carole Bamford. Well worth a day out for excellent produce, beautifully presented, and a rather good lunch to boot.
Rhubarb originates from the Russia/China border area. It has been used since ancient times for medicinal purposes, usually in a dried form as a laxative, and it was first grown in
But you're right, today is Valentine's Day, so what could be more romantic than a pink vegetable that is harvested by candlelight? I liked the sound of some of the recipes for Rhubarb Confit, but my friend the Allotment Owner and Rhubarb Connoisseur has issued dire warnings about not interfering with the fragile flavour of early rhubarb, so I am doing it the simple way, with just a little orange juice and grated orange rind, because I want to serve it with wild duck.
(And now might be a good time to offer up a word of gratitude to the great god Tesco, who has so bountifully bestowed upon us the gift of unwaxed oranges, which is good news indeed for the grating public.)
Wild duck with rhubarb and orange compôte
The compôte
3 sticks forced rhubarb, chopped into ½″ lengths
4 tbsp caster sugar
½ zest of 1 large orange
Juice of 1 large orange
Put all ingredients into heavy bottomed saucepan, stir gently to amalgamate, and simmer very gently covered until rhubarb is tender. Remove lid and allow liquid to reduce for about five minutes. Leave aside with lid askew.
The duck
Olive oil
1 mallard
Salt, pepper
Preheat oven to 400ºC
Anoint the duck with olive oil. Pour a thin layer of oil into a heavy ovenproof pan and bring to smoking point. Sear duck on all sides. Season with salt and pepper and place pan, covered, in oven for ten minutes. After ten minutes, uncover and test for doneness. The duck may well need another five, even ten minutes. Allow to rest for at least five minutes.
Serve with rhubarb compôte, greens and mashed potato.
(If you are cooking for your True Love, your mashed potato should be faultless. Cook the potatoes until they are soft all the way through. Drain thoroughly and dry on low heat. Mash completely. Add hot milk and whip until your wrist aches. Adjust seasoning and add unsalted butter to taste. Whip again until you are exhausted. Only then will your True Love know how much you care. Your mash will be soft and velvety and voluptuous. Who needs chocolates?)

Hi all,
We use HanDBase to download Workorders created by our field operators to our Access database in the office. The Workorders are then processed by the office staff and deleted from the Access table that the HH syncs with.
There is a Workorder HBDB and a related HDBD for WOLabor, WOMaterial, WOInventory and WOEquipment. All of these sync with their respective tables in Access. Any workorders that are processed by the office staff have the associated records for those workorders deleted from all of those tables.
The problem we are having is that, after the next sync of the device, the workorder records that are deleted in the Access table do not get deleted in the Workorder HBDB on the HH device, even though in all the other HBDBs (WOLabor, WOMaterial, etc.) the records are deleted. I have to go into the Workorders HBDB and delete them manually. All other syncing seems to work correctly.
The only thing that I can think that is happening is that maybe the sync process is trying to delete the Workorder records before deleting the records in the related databases, and it is not getting deleted because related records still exist in the other HBDBs. Could this be the case and, if so, is there a way to force the order of database syncing?

Care Continuum
We collaborate from the village level through to the office of the Administrative Director of Health Services with the common goal of better health outcomes.
Health Advocacy
We advocate for improved health through our community education programs and materials.
Physical Therapy
Using instruction with a specifically designed exercise program, our focus is on prevention. Our therapists treat chronic conditions/provide post-op follow up when necessary.
Women's Health
Education, prevention, support and resources such as prenatal vitamins are helping us to make a real difference today, and healthier pregnancies for future generations.
Dental Care
Nearly all the school age children in the region have been treated with fluoride. Professional dental work is also provided at our clinics. We provide hundreds of people with brand new smiles.
Diseases, ailments, and infections of the skin are common in poverty-stricken areas, but care is not. Our dermatologist runs a very busy clinic and is one of our most in-demand specialties.
While our focus is on eye health education, we've set our sights on screening, testing and offering eye-care for everyone in the region. How amazing is that?
Hospice Care
End of life and compassionate care can be offered in the final days of an individual's life
Want to become a volunteer?
" People pay attention to your life outside the environment in which they have direct contact with you ". Let your actions speak for you!
Our Model
We collaborate with Honduran practitioners to deliver world-class health care and education in the villages of Opatoro and Santa Ana Regions. We are the only NGO offering health services in this region.
We take time to get to know the communities, the people and their home environments, where we can make realistic assessments for a continuum of care with their local nurses and health promoters.
We work with community leaders to understand institutional structures and how to work within them. The local doctors and nurses, health promoters and village advocates, guide us with expert knowledge for providing best practices.
We're committed to these regions to help improve general health and outcomes with an emphasis on prevention. Our friendships play a very important role for returning team members. Volunteer colleagues from Tegucigalpa, the US and other countries have established strong ties with their rural counterparts.

|Evaluating whether a property is set true or false
|Wed, 07 Feb 2001 13:28:48 GMT
I read in a property file containing: deploy.deployable = false inside my build.xml, I do something like: <target name="build_tar" if="deploy.deployable"> <echo message="deploy.deployable = ${deploy.deployable}"/> And in the results, I see the target is executed and it echoes the value as false. I understand the if only checks if the property is set and not it's value. Is it possible to check a properties value? What I'm trying to do is allow the user to set whether their app is deployed or not via a property file. Is it possible? _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

As your business grows it becomes more important to develop good leadership skills. Nobody is born a perfect leader, it is something that you learn and develop 'on the job', but the key thing is to be aware of what it takes to be a good leader and make the effort to develop your skills.
Business Coaching Insight:
As a leader you don't need to know all the answers but you do need to be okay with harnessing solutions from your team
These four key leadership skills are the ones to focus on developing first if you're a business owner.
1. Strategic Thinking Skills
This involves working 'on' the business rather than 'in' it.
It's really important that business leaders avoid getting bogged down in the details of running a business because your number one priority is being focused on the business vision.
While your employees are busy down in the engine room, you should be up on deck keeping your eye on the horizon and steering your team on the path to get there.
And, as you take in the wider view, part of your role also involves anticipating changes or new opportunities and determining whether the business needs to change direction.
2. Decision Making Skills
Unfortunately we are not taught decision making skills and for many business leaders this is a complex and uncomfortable part of their role, especially when the stakes are high.
As a business owner it is critical to be able to determine what's important, what it means for the business, what the consequences could be and what direction you need to take because of it.
It ultimately comes down to having sound judgement so how do you make sure you're making the right decisions? These tips may help:
3. People Skills
Surrounding yourself with the right people and aligning them around the businesses vision and goals is so critical that it is unlikely that your business will achieve it's goals until this piece of the puzzle is in place.
The first step is being able to spot and employ those people who are as motivated to build a business as you are. The second is treating them as partners and allowing them to fully contribute.
A business owner with good leadership skills should focus equally on results and people.
Trying to get a business to succeed just with your own sheer will and effort is very ineffective, not to mention exhausting.
4. Communication Skills
Good communication isn't just about the amount of meetings you have in your business. The 'quality' of the conversations you have in your business are just as important, if not more so.
If you don't invite employees to contribute or they feel fearful about speaking up, then it doesn't matter how many meetings you have because the communication you'll be having will be too one-way and therefore, not very effective.
When you share information and invite participation from your team it generates more trust and they are more likely to buy into your decisions and take ownership for putting them into action.

Right now I am feeling content. I am typing this while laying on top of my unmade bed with my sweet little Connor beside me. He is happily chatting and cooing away with a few high pitch squeals for added emphasis.
It's Friday morning and its cold and wet. Today is supposed to be the last day of school for Mia before the winter break. But I decided she could start early. It's just one of those days outside where it seems mean sending her off to school, especially when they aren't going to be doing any work today anyway. I knew she was thinking she would rather stay home. So I'm letting her.
Ryan just got dressed, into another pair of pjs. It's pj day at his preschool today and he was so disappointed that he was going to miss out since he doesn't go on Fridays. So I told him we will have our own pj day at home. He thinks its the best thing ever.
And it feels good. Something so simple has made my littles so happy and I can overhear them saying to each other that today is going to be the best day ever.
That says it all really. Our kids don't want or need much at all to make them happy. They just want to be allowed to be young and feel that their feelings matter.
It's so simple yet it's also so simple to forget.
Happy days.
