Compared to conventional trees, horizontal spool trees save time and money during workovers and completions. This technology has proven itself in the North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Australia and Africa.
Horizontal Tree Isolation Plugs Pdf
One of the components critical to the effectiveness of trees manufactured by companies such as Cameron, Aker Solutions, ABB Vetco Gray, Dril-Quip and FMC is the Elmar Horizontal Spool Tree Isolation Plug. This patented, high performance product is unsurpassed for reliable pressure control, even in the harshest environments.
The NOV Elmar 'LSB' (Longitudinal Seal Bore) Lock Mandrel Upper Isolation Plug is a high pressure, high temperature elastomeric sealing unit with a no-go lock system that positively aligns the plug within its corresponding nipple profile. It is designed to hold pressure from below by key/nipple engagement and to hold pressure from above by no-go/nipple arrangement.
The NOV Elmar LSB Plug is typically installed above a CSB (Conical Seal Bore) Metal Sealing Lock Mandrel Lower Isolation Plug, although a CSB Plug may also be used in the upper position. Our CSB Lock Mandrel Isolation Plug is designed with a combination of primary metal seal and a secondary Polymeric/Elastomeric seal system, plus an erosion target that protects the metal seal from sand bombardment. Even after prolonged use, the metal-tometal seal retains its integrity offering 100% seal energization over its lifetime.
The systems sophisticated design is compact enough for use in a short tree, is simple to operate and maintain, yet is extremely robust and reliable. Such a degree of reliability is the product of space age materials that provide a combination of metal-to-metal and elastomeric seals for H2S and CO2 service conditions and NOV Elmar's stringent ISO 9001 quality assurance system. Each Plug is rigourously PR2 tested for design approval under API6a and 17D.
Operating the NOV Elmar plug is very simple; it is set with an NOV Elmar Running Tool, that is attached to the plug and lowered into the nipple. Fluid pressure is applied above the plug helping energize the metal seals nose. When fully energized, the metal seal no-go's on the hanger nipple profile, ensures the correct alignment of the key and key profile.
While fluid pressure is maintained, downward 'jarring' action is applied driving the Expander Sleeve downward, pushing the keys outward into nipple profile and locking the plug into place. Upward 'jarring' releases the running tool, which also inhibits premature release of the plug, while a 'telltale' pin confirms the setting status. The taper-on keys and Expander Sleeve act as the primary hold-down mechanism. Unidirectional check 'bullets' act as the secondary hold-down mechanism and a measure against vibratory movement. Releasing the Plug requires deforming the check mechanism to allow the Expander Sleeve to move upwards to retract the keys.
Typical Technical Specifications:
NOV Elmar design, manufacture and certify Pressure Control Products to meet and exceed the following established industry standards:
Plug Systems Available:
Products are fully traceable and interchangeable, inspected 100% to assure a product of the highest quality exceeds our customer expectations in accordance with NOV Elmar established QMS accredited to BS EN ISO 9001:1994

HAVERFORD >> Plans for a town hall meeting with U.S. Rep. Pat Meehan fell through last Tuesday.
Meehan, R-7 of Chadds Ford, did not make a hoped-for appearance at the District 7 Citizens for Equality event, which drew 75-80 constituents from across the district's five counties to Hope United Methodist Church in Havertown.
Citizens for Equality co-founder Christine Russell said her group invited Meehan to participate in "a respectful dialogue" focusing on ethics and values, including compassion, fairness, respect, honesty and responsibility as they relate to D7 individuals and families.
A member of the House Committee on Ethics, Meehan was asked to join a panel of experts and address these values within the framework of government
According to Russell, Meehan's staff initially said they were "trying to arrange his schedule" but never confirmed or declined the invitation.
Meehan's spokesman John Elizandro said Thursday that "the event was not planned in consultation with our office. Mr. Meehan and his staff have met on a number of occasions with this group's members to facilitate a meaningful dialogue on issues of the day."
A chair intended for Meehan did not go empty. A rubber stamp with Meehan's picture and the words "Yes Man" was used as a stand-in.
Russell said her group wants Meehan "to not rubber stamp President Trump's policies."
The meeting included presentations by Dominic Sisti, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania,
Gina Curry, a sociology and criminal justice instructor at La Salle University, and Carmen Guerrero, co-founder of Coalicion Fortaleza Latina.
Addressing health care issues in America, Sisti maintained that a basic level of health care should be provided to all members of society. "This is an ethical imperative, based on a theory of justice," Sisti said.
Universal health care is costly, but not as costly as "our currently fragmented, utterly unjust system, which the American Health Care Act will make even worse."
Sisti pointed to figures from the Congressional Budget Office showing that the American Health Care Act would slash Medicaid funding by $834 billion over the next decade.
An estimated 23 million fewer Americans would have coverage, with 14 million fewer on Medicaid.
Premiums would skyrocket for older, poorer Americans while millionaires would gain, Sisti said.
Meehan voted against the ACHA when it came to the floor of the House.
Addressing the U.S. criminal justice system and needed reforms, Curry told the tragic story of Kalief Browder, an African American teen who was arrested in 2010 on questionable charges of stealing a backpack.
Though he was never tried or convicted of a crime, Browder endured three torturous years at Rikers Island, where he was beaten by guards and inmates. Browder spent over 400 days in solitary confinement. He committed suicide in 2015, subsequent to his release from Rikers.
"He is an example of how the United States has treated young people in the system … He's dead and he wasn't guilty," said Curry.
Guerrero said that under the Trump administration, "The fear and hopelessness in the immigrant and refugee communities create chaos in our daily lives.
"I ask Meehan to stop sending money to Mexico, to governments that kill their own people."
Additional speakers like Lillie Williams provided moving personal perspectives on how government policies affect people's lives.
Williams' husband, Jonatan Palacios, a native of Honduras, was arrested May 11 by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents outside the couple's Haverford home, "without a hearing, for an uncertain amount of time … having never committed a crime except the one of escaping terrible violence and poverty when he was a child, and being ill-equipped to navigate our country's complex immigration laws," Williams said.
"We were targeted because we came forward and were trying to do the right thing. We had filed a petition last October that began the process of fixing my husband's status based on marriage. But instead of letting us finish … we were targeted and told that it didn't matter."
Williams asked Meehan to support H.R. 1036, the American Families United Act.
"Our government, our representatives have the opportunity to stand up for my rights and say no to separating U.S. citizens from their families."
Members of the audience had opportunities to comment and ask questions Russell said her group would deliver to Meehan.
Some asked the congressman to speak out against Trump's proposed budget cuts to public education, Russia's alleged meddling in the presidential election, and firing of former FBI director James Comey.
Among the queries, "Will you promise to oppose any cuts to Medicare and Medicaid?" someone asked.
"Why have you not called for President Trump to release his tax returns?"
"When will you be able to have a town hall?"
Debbie Lowe wanted to know how the House Ethics Committee would deal with its newest member, Greg Gianforte's, behavior related to his recent assault charge for bodyslamming a journalist.
Jamie Malley said that while Meehan voted no on one anti-environmental law, he did the opposite when voting on 11 other bills, including the REINS Act, which "significantly limits ability of federal agencies to pass regulations that protect the environment and health."
"How can you claim to care about environmental issues with this voting record?" Malley asked.
Malley wanted to know whether Meehan would endorse or introduce legislation based on a carbon tax and dividends proposal.
Russell said in an email prior to the meeting that her grassroots, all-volunteer organization was established in November 2016 to better understand and improve the district's political representation.
"Because of gerrymandering, D7 crosses five counties, which means constituents are not able to easily coordinate, collaborate or be represented by any one county or township group.
Therefore, this group is essential to provide consistent, clear, and concise feedback on and to our Congressman, while coordinating efforts with those like-minded allies in our townships, counties, parties, businesses and non-profits."
Although a small group from Citizens for Equality meets monthly with Meehan's office, "many more people want to be involved, to ask questions and share their experience and education … They want to hear from Rep. Meehan directly and have him represent their everyday lives, not just big-money lobbyists who can pay for access," Russell said.
A videotape of the town hall has been posted on You Tube.

Hey guys! This was written for The Hogwarts Games, Women's Tennis Round 2. Though I can't say I think this is a particularly good piece, it's something, at least, and something is always better than nothing. So! This takes place in Narcissa's head, really, at her and Lucius' wedding. I'm not sure when Cyrus and Druella died, so for the purposes of this fic please assume that Cyrus died before the wedding and Druella after. Yep. That's about it. Oh, and even though Narcissa is really supposed to love Lucius and all, it could have started out differently, yes? That's what this fic aims to represent, besides the differences between her thoughts and what Andromeda would have thought. Or something to that extent. Yeah, I'm not too sure, either. You guys can decide.
So, I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Narcissa sometimes wished she had followed Andromeda, out of the Black family.
She looked around the tent, and sighed. This was one of those times, most definitely.
Of course, that wish would be squelched almost immediately, for the very idea was disgusting. A Black, mixing with mudbloods and muggles? The very idea was preposterous. It would be like wallowing around societal mud, and that would be repulsive and completely below a Black. After all, the Blacks were a very influential, very powerful family, and Narcissa didn't understand why anyone would want to trade a respectable pureblood lifestyle for that of a mudblood's. Surely it couldn't be as comfortable, as proper?
But for all its propriety, it did get suffocating. Being a Black in pureblood society was about being submissive, as well –follow Father's demands, become whatever the Blacks needed at that time –if it was a Malfoy wife, then that was all good and well.
In her own way, she was following Andy out of the Black family, wasn't she? What was different about their situations was that she was exiting the Black family into a respectable, pureblooded one –the Malfoys –while Andy had left for some mudblood Narcissa had never really noticed before her sister had run off with him –Tanks, wasn't it? No, Tonks?
Yes, Tonks. Narcissa often wondered what her sister had seen in him –he was just so muggle. It was expected, of course, given that he was a mudblood, that Andy would have been disowned the moment she announced her engagement to him, and this often led Narcissa to ponder the reasons Andy had chosen to go ahead with it anyway. Did she really think she was better off with a mudblood?
She might have, but Narcissa knew better. Purebloods were above muggles, above those despicable thieves of magic, the mudbloods. They were simply above, while the rest of the world was scum below their feet. It was a simple, universal truth which her sister had, for reasons she couldn't comprehend, disagreed with. And that, of course, had led to her being cast out of the family for good –not that it seemed her sister had minded. In fact, Narcissa had often thought her sister had seemed positively ecstatic (though she had tried to hide it) about being cast out; when Druella and Cyrus had all but thrown her out of the house, Andy had summoned her things from the porch and walked off with a little spring in her step Narcissa had never been able to figure out. Why was she happy about it? It was a great dishonor, to be cast out of one's family, especially if said family was pureblooded.
In that moment, Narcissa had realized she had never understood her sister much at all.
But that was enough about the past. Narcissa fingered the white satin skirt of her dress, humming softly to herself. It was her turn to get married now, like her sister had, though unlike her sister, she wasn't getting cast out for it, and her groom was a respectable, well off, pureblooded man. "And that's all good and well," Narcissa reassured herself. "Because you want this. Think about all the prestige and power the Malfoy name will bring you…"
She bit her lip lightly. She did want this. Even if she didn't know whether or not this marriage would bring her happiness (happiness was a long forgotten concept, if she was to be honest with herself), she at least knew she would be doing better than Andy was, however Andy was doing. She really hadn't heard about Andy for a long time, and she wasn't bothered about that in the least. After all, Andy was gone to her, much like her father was (thank Merlin; his expectations had simply grown more and more unreasonable since Andy had become disowned), lying in his grave. Though of course, that hadn't stopped her mother from doing the job of accepting Lucius' proposal on her behalf, her own wishes and considerations be damned. While she hadn't many qualms about marrying Lucius (a respectable man, she had gathered from her time in Hogwarts) she would have appreciated a choice, or even just a say in the matter. Maybe this was why Andy had ran-
Enough about Andy! Narcissa snapped at herself. Thoughts about Andy were ridiculous, were they not? She shook her head, smiling to herself. Yes, today was about her. Well, her and Lucius.
But, still… Narcissa sometimes thought it would be far, far better if the expectations of being a Black, and that of Lucius' parents, were absent. She sensed that Lucius could be a better man, truly, if society wasn't expecting them to be so much. But society's expectations were there, and Narcissa could only think wistfully about the kind of freedom Andy must have attained.
It was at times like this, when another major choice in her life had simply been taken from her, that Narcissa felt that there was close to nothing she would not have given to understand the thoughts that went through her sister's mind. They must have been liberating thoughts, to have been able to put a spring in her step as she was cast out.
And as she was escorted out the tent and down the aisle, Narcissa thought that she would have given anything to experience that liberation.

The wrong guy was handed a pink slip Monday and shoved out the fuselage door of Air Lions. Matt Millen ought to be the one hurtling earthward toward unemployment, not the guy he fired Monday morning, Steve Mariucci.
Do the Detroit Lions stink like diesel exhaust? Absolutely. They can clear out a stadium faster than a bomb scare. But if Lions ownership (Hello, anybody there?) can OK the canning of Mariucci, the least William Clay Ford could do is make it a package deal.
Ford knows all about deals. His car company is pushing the Keep It Simple promotion these days, "where everybody pays the same price," it says in the full-page newspaper ad. Perfect. Let's apply the same logic to Lions president and CEO Millen: He should pay the same price as Mariucci.
It isn't easy making a case for a Year 4 of the Mariucci regime. The Lions are 4-7 in the NFC's worst division, put up Honda Accord city gas mileage numbers in every meaningful NFL offensive ranking (25th in rushing yards per game, 26th in points per game, 27th in pass rating, 27th in total yards per game), and are fresh off a Thanksgiving Day loss so mind-numbingly dismal that Detroit fans began chanting, "Let's go Red Wings!"
Since his arrival in 2003, Mariucci has gone 5-11, 6-10, and now this. No playoff appearances. No nothing, but the occasional brown paper bag sightings at Ford Field.
"I believe that this was a roster capable of making a playoff run," said the suitably grave Millen at Monday's news conference. "And I still believe that. I still believe that. Quite frankly, we have not lived up to our expectations. I believe we've underachieved as a football team. And I also believe that we have not developed our younger players and that's bothersome, especially the way we had anticipated it going."
Let's be honest here: Was this roster really capable of a playoff run, or did everyone confuse potential with production? The offense looked good on a sheet of 8x10, but it also looked very young, and fragile, too.
Quarterback Joey Harrington is a wonderful guy, plays a nice piano, but it wasn't an accident that Millen brought in veteran Jeff Garcia as a 2005 insurance policy. Harrington, pulled from the Thanksgiving Day disaster, still plays as if they just handed him the playbook 30 minutes before kickoff. Is that Mariucci's fault? Harrington's fault? Or Millen's fault for drafting him in the first place?
Wide receiver Charles Rogers leads the league in Most Blue Cross Filings. Fellow wideout Roy Williams has shown moments of brilliance, but not enough of them. Running back Kevin Jones has done a second-season belly flop, though NFL Films isn't exactly cranking up the editing room for a special on the Lions offensive line. And receiver Mike Williams is still a work in progress.
Rather than assume his share of responsibility for the Lions' annual collision with icebergs, Millen fired his third head coach since assuming the job in 2001. With the exception of Los Angeles Clippers VP Elgin Baylor, I can't think of a front office executive who has won less and still kept his job. In fact, Millen recently received a contract extension, which is like giving an Oscar to Jackie Chan.
At what point does Millen start not living up to expectations? When exactly does he admit that he has underachieved? Under Millen's remarkable leadership the Lions are 20-55. The only thing they've changed is their uniforms. Otherwise, they remain eligible for federal disaster relief.
"Let me reiterate and say it's not a happy day," said Millen (duh). "Steve is, like I said, he's as good a person as I've been around. He's a close friend of mine and it bothers me."
Mariucci will be fine. He's a class guy, a U.P. guy, plus the Lions owe him the remainder of his $5 million salary this season and the combined $11.5 million they were going to pay him in '06 and '07. That should ease the hurt.
But Mariucci deserved better than an exit interview with five games still remaining in the season. Does anyone really think interim head coach Dick Jauron is going to make much of a difference? Not even Jauron, who joined the Lions because of Mariucci, is that naïve.
"We're not going to install much in a five-week period," said Jauron, when asked about the possibility of scheme overhauls. "You're not going to significantly change anything and hope they can function."
Jauron, the good soldier, will be gone soon enough, too. Or back to defensive coordinator under the next victim Millen hires.
"Some of you may ask, 'Why [fire Mariucci] now? Why not at the end of the season?' " said Millen. "To me, it's simple. We have five games left. We have five games left to develop our younger players. We have five games to prove we are who we think we are, especially with our younger players."
Actually, the question I'd like to ask Millen is this: Why are you still here?

Beautiful Bats
One of the most misunderstood animals found in Illinois is the bat. There are many persistent, false rumors and legends that have given bats a bad name. Many of these stories have been created out of a lack of understanding and outright fear. But bats are far from being something to be feared. They are highly beneficial. If you are sitting out on your porch, patio, or deck at dusk, you might just see them swooping around your yard. Bats are the only mammals that are capable of true flight with a range of ability. Most bats in Illinois tend to be proficient fliers catching the vast majority of their food while in flight. Bats found in Illinois are small with the most common bats having a wingspan of 12 inches or less and weight ½ oz. or less.
There is not just one species of bat found in Illinois. In fact, bats are abundant. Thirteen species are found in Illinois. Some are more common than others, some stay year round, and some are migratory or partially migratory. There are six species known to reside in Illinois throughout the year. These bats are the more common bats seen around the state. The Big Brown Bat, Little Brown Bat, Eastern Red Bat, and Northern Long-eared Myotis are some of the most common bats in Illinois and are widely distributed. Bats that are known to hibernate in Illinois are Little Brown Bat, Big Brown Bat, Southeastern Bat, Indiana Bat, and Eastern Pipistrelle. In this group of year-long residents, the Indiana Bat and Southeastern Bat are endangered. There are other bats that may be found in Illinois throughout the year, but they tend to be in smaller numbers. The majority of these bats move to adjacent states or further south for the winter. The Grey Bat, Eastern Red Bat, Silver-Haired Bat, and Rafinesque's Big Eared Bat tend to leave the state during the winter months. In this group Grey Bat and Rafinesque's Big Eared Bat are endangered. The Hoary Bat and Evening Bat are not typically found in Illinois during the winter months moving further south when the weather begins to get colder.
Bats are often associated with blood sucking, but all species of bats in Illinois are insectivores. They eat hundreds to thousands of insects each night. A single female bat with a pup can eat in excess of 3000 insects a night. This is highly beneficial to all residents of Illinois. Bats in Illinois eat insects that cause a number of problems, including those that cause disease. Though they will eat some biting insects like mosquitoes, they tend to go with easy meals which usually are larger insects like moths or some of the larger nocturnal insects. Bats are extremely beneficial to farmers eating insects that are highly damaging to crops. It is estimated that they provide a benefit of 3.7 billion dollars to farmers across the nation by reducing the amount of chemicals that are used on farm fields. Around the world, they are important as pollinators and seed spreaders in addition to pest control. Many of the foods that you love would not be available without bats. These include coffee, chocolate, and citrus fruits.
Though there is some public health concerns associated with bats, they are no more dangerous than any other wildlife. They can carry rabies, but as a whole they are less likely to have rabies than many other mammal species (only 3-5% of tested bats each year). By far the biggest danger that bats pose comes in the form of fungal infections (Histoplasmosis) associated with their feces. This only becomes a danger when you are using a building that is heavily used by bats or when you have a large number roosting in your home. The same danger is presented with bird feces.
Bats are a vastly misunderstood animal by the general public and this lack of understanding is one of the things that present the greatest risk to bats. A better understanding removes much of the fear that is associated with this animal and might even create some passion to help these animals that are threatened by habitat loss, disease, and lack of roosting sites. Bats reproduce very slowly so when habitat is lost or a disease destroys a population, they are very slow to recover. One of the biggest threats to bats currently is an invasive fungus called White Nose Syndrome that is making its way across the US.

NOTE: I have moved the entire High on Homeschool blog over to Blogger. Come over and take a look! It's been redesigned and is much more fun on the eyes. Http://www.highonhomeschool.blogspot.com.
My mission is to dig up quirky and fun resources you can use to help your children learn about different subjects, whether you are a homeschooling family or not. There are clever folks out there who ponder over unusual ways to interest a child in a topic of knowledge; it's these clever people who spark me and their materials are quickly becoming a big part of our homeschool curriculum. Cleverness needs to be applauded, except, of course, if you happen to be training a velociraptor. Then clever takes on a different spin, eh?
After logging many hours hunting for homeschooling resources that are creative and wildly fun, I'd like to share these resources with you, to hopefully make your job as a teacher or parent (or both) more enjoyable! When was the last time you picked up a book/DVD/game and said, "this is pure genius! What a terrific way to look at a topic!"
I hope you find some useful information here to make those teachable moments with your kids more silly. Please take the best and leave the rest and by all means, speak up if you find a stellar resource that knocks your socks off.
I'm also going to include the components of various unit studies we embarked upon which you can use as reference points if you wish. And then I might as well add some thoughts about homeschooling and our experience to round it all out.
Why shouldn't we have fun while we are learning? The means to that end are available – so let's go find them!
Remember……what we feed our children every day in body and in spirit is what they will become.

Longniddry garden
Nine months after planting and the grasses and perennials in this West Lothian garden are establishing nicely. The Miscanthus planted on top of earth mounds lends height without obscuring the view out over the golf course to the Forth and Fife beyond.

The Blower Anti Heeling System is designed for rapid heeling compensation during fast and heavy item loading operations. The system can be combined with a Hoppe Anti-Heeling System (Frahm–type) by using the same U-Tank. Based on continuous measurement of the heeling angle, the compensation is automatically achieved by blowing air into the heeling tank to press the ballast water to the opposite side, controlled by Hoppe's microcomputer HOMIP. Blowers provide continuous air flow, which is directed by butterfly valves with fast acting Hoppe pneumatic actuators.
The complete system includes:
- Anti-Heeling Control Panel
- Blower Unit (one or more independent blowers)
- Butterfly Valve Group (pneumatic actuators)
- Valve Remote Control
- Tank Pressure Sensors
- Level Switch (Overflow)
- Inclinometer
- HOMIP microcomputer
Key Features / Benefit Summary:
- Rapid reaction and compensation
- Easy to operate, clear visualisation
- Free programmable, easy changes to meet different requirements
- Manual mode to realize special operations, e.g. pre-heeling for lifting heavy items
- All electronic components type approved by major Classification societies
- Allows safer, more rapid loading and unloading, shortens harbour time
- Reduces damage to ramps, rolling cargo, cell guides and containers
Operational Stability Test:
Connected to Hoppe's Stability Test System (Loading Computer) the Anti-Heeling System can be used to carry out an operation inclining test to verify the actual stability.
Heavy Lift Load Compensation:
In a more complex version the Anti-Heeling System uses 4 Anti-heeling tanks with powerful blowers and measures heeling and trim angles, e.g. by Hoppe's precision motion measuring system HOSIM, to keep the vessel in a pre-defined upright floating condition, while the onboard crane lifts heavy items.

Contracting isn't for everyone, for the majority who make the move, contracting proves to be a wise and satisfying move, although – like all careers – there are likely to be challenges along the way.
Contractors come from all walks of life, however, there are a number of characteristics you'll need to possess (or improve) to become a successful long-term contractor.
- Are you a self-starter? – Contractors are responsible for finding their own work, and dealing with renewals. It can take a while to become adjusted to this new way of life, particularly if you have worked for the same employer for a long time.
- New environments – Contractors are expected to join projects and rapidly get up to speed with the client's requirements, as well as acclimatising to new groups of people and locations.
- Dealing with finances – Whatever business structure you work under (your own limited company, or an umbrella company) you will need to spend some time dealing with your financial affairs and budgeting.
If you go down the limited route, a specialist accountant will take away most of this burden for you, however, you must ensure that you meet your tax obligations in full, and on time. The administrative burden is lower for umbrella employees; however, the limited route is more tax efficient.
- Contingency Fund – Contracting can bring its own share of uncertainties, particularly during recessionary times. From the start, you should avoid the temptation to spend all your contract earnings, and set aside funds for a 'rainy day', when you may find yourself on the bench.
How long could you survive without contract income? Try to set aside at least six months' living expenses in a savings account.
- Networking – A large proportion of contract roles never even reach the job boards, or recruitment agents. If a vacancy comes up in a project, contractors working in the team may be asked if they know anyone suitable to fill the role. For this reason, you should try to keep in touch with old colleagues, and thanks to LinkedIn, networking has never been easier.
- Skills – Alongside the traditional economic rules of supply and demand, your skillset is your most powerful tool for securing the most competitive rates. As a contractor, it is your responsibility to keep your skills up-to-date, and you will have to pay for any additional courses yourself. Also, make the most out of online learning – which is ubiquitous these days.
- Negotiating – Although you will undertake contract work on a fixed-price basis, there is usually some room to manoeuvre when setting your initial rate. Clearly, you will need to assess your situation carefully when pushing for a higher rate, as your position of strength will depend on the level of competition for the role, the economic climate, and how much the client wants to hire you above other candidates.
- Become an Expert – Contractors are hired for their expertise, so you will be expected to demonstrate your abilities from the off. Although the temptation may be to keep your knowledge to yourself and just get on with the job, you will gain kudos and respect by offering help and guidance to colleagues. If you develop a reputation as the 'go to' contractor, renewals and word-of-mouth recommendations are more likely to come your way in the future.
- Flexibility – A very important trait of the successful contractor. You may have your heart set on a particular type or role, or location, but the whims of the contracting market may scupper your plans. You need to be prepared to travel, and undertake contract work which may not fit your 'ideal' in terms of interest, industry or the skills you use.

McALLEN, Texas — Federal authorities seized more than 5,900 rounds of ammunition that were destined for a drug cartel in Mexico as criminal organizations continue to stockpile weapons.
The most recent seizure took place at the Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge when 26-year-old Marco Antonio Medrano Gutierrez tried to drive a Ford pickup into Mexico, court records obtained by Breitbart Texas revealed.
Agents with Homeland Security Investigations as well as Officers with U.S. Customs and Border Protection had Medrano take his vehicle into a secondary inspection area. As authorities searched the vehicle, Medrano told CBP officers that there were various ammunition rounds hidden in the vehicle. In total, authorities found 5,942 ammunition rounds hidden within the panels of the pickup. Medrano Gutierrez is listed as a Mexican national in court documents, however it remains unclear if he is a legal resident or if he had a tourist visa at the time of his arrest.
On Monday, U.S, Magistrate Judge Peter Ormsby formally notified Medrano of the charges against him and ordered he be held without bond.
As Breitbart Texas has reported in the past, Mexican drug cartels have been responsible for the out-of-control violence that continues to spread over Mexico. Despite Mexico having some of the strictest gun laws, cartel armies in that country have been able to stockpile Russian RPG's, grenade launchers, bazookas, machine guns, and other weapons.

I spent my first day monitoring steps and sleep using my new Jawbone Up3 fitness band. At first, I was pumped exploring the app and setting goals. Then I was ready for bed and eagerly directed the device to "start sleep."
By 3am I was up. I wonder if the band was capturing my awoken state. I tossed and turned until 5am and thought, "well this sucker won't measure anything I don't already know." It wasn't as though wearing it would cure my insomnia, but I was hopefully to learn about the quality of sleep I got while actually sleeping.
When the fitband alarm gently woke me up I couldn't wait for the following report...
Firstly, it's wrong!
During a period of so called light sleeping 330-515am I was wide awake, so my accomplished goal of sleeping 8 hours is inaccurate. Then, I noticed how much of a light sleeper I really am. REM and deep sleep combined accounted for only 2 hours and 12 minutes of the night while I was awake for another two!
With that, this report actually freaked me out!
Sleep is such a valuable asset in life and yet we often believe we're okay without it. Truthfully, we're not. According to research, not only is our long term health and immune system compromised without sleep, but we are often walking through our day relying on sweets or caffeine for energy boosts, irritable, moody, napping or secretly hoping for a nap, falling asleep in meetings, lectures or warm rooms, and simply dragging ourselves through the day. None of the above supports a healthy body or mindset. This experience is bad for even our self-esteem.
If you're feeling any of the above, think about your sleep habits, and work to improve them. But whatever you do, don't let a fitness band freak you out like it did me. Measuring sleep routines is only half the battle. Now, on to making sure I get more out of sleepy nights ahead!

Exploration trends - benchmarking by region
You can pay by card or invoice
Report summary
This report details regional trends in conventional exploration from 2007-2016. We analyse exploration performance across eight regions: Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America, North Africa, Sub-Sahara Africa, Russia & Caspian and Middle East. Global exploration investment fell to just US$42 billion in 2016, half that of 2014 levels. In the face of collapsing oil prices, companies slashed budgets. Regions characterised by a large proportion of deepwater, frontier opportunities were hardest hit – the Middle East, following by North Africa and Sub-Sahara Africa, saw the biggest falls in spending. Our ten-year view shows a bleak picture in terms of value created thanks to the fall in global commodity prices. Only two of our eight regions achieved positive full-cycle value creation over the decade - Middle East and North Africa. Sub-Sahara Africa added more than 50 bnboe of conventional volume over the decade, following the opening of the East Africa gas province.

Hey, my loves!
Let's talk about trends!
I've already written a post about the trends of this summer and one of the amazing trends I wrote was the yellow color that is all over coming in all types of pieces.
Well, of course I couldn't resist choosing these super cool yellow boots in suede leather to collaborate with this trend that I'm so in love with.
Just because I loooove to play with all types of styles, I chose to wear a pair of fishnet ankle socks for the first time ever, to see if I'd look as cool as the other fashion bloggers around the world. Haha
Beauties, I just loooooooved this combo! I feel like wearing them every time now! Lol
To go with the details of my Cinderella feet, which by the way aren't that basic, I chose a simple and feminine look based on black and white.
Since the style is a street and chic totally simple and basic why not a black hat to go with the overall of the look!
You know you picked up the right pieces for your look when you can see that every piece is going perfectly with each other. The hat, the socks, the boots, the bag, the skirt are coping amazingly together.
Well, that's it! I hope you like it.
Boots • Zara | Skirt • Only | Hat • H&M | Sunglasses • Rayban | Bag • Chanel | Socks • Pieces

SOURCE: 3D Signatures inc.
October 17, 2016 09:30 ET
WINNIPEG, MB--(Marketwired - October 17, 2016) - 3D Signatures Inc. (TSX VENTURE: DXD) (the "Company" or "3DS"), a personalized medicine company developing precision clinical tests using a proprietary software platform based on three-dimensional analysis of chromosomal signatures, is pleased to provide a letter to shareholders providing guidance and insight into the Company's milestones over the coming year. Jason Flowerday, the Company's CEO, is excited to report on the company's early progress and to provide a roadmap to commercialization.
Dr. Sabine Mai, the Company's co-founder, has discovered a new, complex, and dynamic class of biomarker. With strong supporting data for fourteen different cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, in addition to drug development applications, it is imperative that 3DS is focused on core initiatives that will drive value for shareholders and make efficient use of time and resources. Management has prioritized four programs for the coming year: 1) validation and preliminary approval of its lead prognostic test for Hodgkin's Lymphoma, 2) initiation of a major clinical trial for blood-based monitoring tests for Prostate Cancer, 3) strategic engagement with pharmaceutical companies for development of companion diagnostics, and 4) securing the right people and partners to elevate its business.
Hodgkin's Lymphoma
There are approximately 10,000 new cases of Hodgkin's Lymphoma and an estimated 1500 deaths in the United States and Canada each year. Physicians cannot today predict which patients will respond to standard chemotherapy and enter long-term remission or not respond and relapse, requiring alternative but more aggressive forms of therapy. There is currently no test to predict whether patients will respond to standard chemotherapy or not.
3DS plans to announce a clinical trial for a Hodgkin's Lymphoma precision medicine test in the coming months. The trial seeks to predict, at point of diagnosis, whether patients will respond to standard chemotherapy or not. The company expects to engage a nationally recognized and accredited laboratory partner in the validation and approval of a Hodgkin's Lymphoma Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) for Canada in 2017.
Prostate Cancer
Every year, there are over 3,000,000 existing and new cases of prostate cancer in the United States and Canada. A large proportion of these patients are needlessly over-treated and/or subjected to surgery -- costing the healthcare payers billions of dollars annually and inflicting unnecessary treatment and complications on patients. There is a significant unmet need, at every stage of the disease, for accurate and minimally invasive risk-assessment tools to allow clinicians to make better treatment decisions. 3DS wants to arm physicians with the tools necessary to confidently personalize treatment decisions for each individual prostate cancer patient. No such tests currently exist.
The Company plans to announce a major clinical trial for prostate cancer precision medicine tests in the coming weeks. The trial will seek to predict the most effective treatment plan for the individual patient and would represent a first-in-class minimally invasive (blood-based) risk-assessment tool for prostate cancer patients at various stages of disease and treatment.
Drug Development
Based on published work by Dr. Mai and her collaborators regarding real-time ex-vivo feedback on several new therapeutic candidates and inbound interest from a number of major pharmaceutical companies, 3DS is activating a dedicated strategy to engage industry in discussions around partnership opportunities. 3DS's technology has the potential to identify lead therapeutic candidates through drug-screening, select specific patients for clinical trials, monitor patients during clinical trials, and ultimately work with pharmaceutical companies on the approval of companion diagnostics for precision medicine. There is significant potential value to be realized by pharmaceuticals companies in the form of efficient identification of new drugs, targeted clinical trials, objective real time feedback during clinical trials, and expedited regulatory approval by way of companion diagnostics. We are excited by these potential opportunities.
People and Partners
The 3DS team is an enthusiastic and group of scientific, business, legal and accounting professionals that are working hard to execute on milestones and realize the potential of 3DS' technology. The Company has been fortunate to secure a strong and dedicated board of directors and management team at a relatively early stage of its growth:
To learn more about the team's background, please visit: http://www.3dsignatures.com/corporate/.
3DS has formed a Clinical & Scientific Advisory Board ("CSAB"), chaired by its co-founder Dr. Mai, for the purpose of seeking ongoing advice from international recognized clinical and scientific experts on the development of the company's priority biomarkers and its proprietary TeloView™ software platform. The Company continues to add internationally recognized expertise to the CSAB.
Of equal importance to the Company and its commercial success is the formation of a Business Advisory Board ("BAB") comprised of industry veterans and business leaders with international life sciences business success. Their experience and networks are critical to 3DS. The Company's senior management is in active discussions with BAB members to confirm its commercialization strategy, initially focused on Canada and United States, and to assist the company in selecting academic and clinical partners to co-develop its novel class of biomarkers.
Engaging strategic academic and commercial partners, particularly in the United States, is a significant part of the Company's business plan. A number of discussions are underway with potential partners and 3DS will continues to engage new potential partners with a view towards expediting commercialization and maximizing market acceptance and penetration of its products.

We are young, careless and free. We live our lives to the fullest, and we want to experience everything we can to make living brighter and happier. On the other hand, is it OK just to exist without thinking about life itself? Sometimes the moment comes, and you stop to understand the world and your place in it.
What Is the Philosophy?
Philosophy is a science about the nature of knowledge, matter and existence. It first originated in antique times in Greece. Philosophers were the people who doubted beliefs in gods ruling the universe and tried to find an explanation of the world around them. If we translate the word "philosophy", it means "love of wisdom."
Do Both Chemist and Historian Need Philosophy?
As students, we learn a lot of new and interesting things during our studies. Each of us has already chosen the way we want to go in our lives. Some see themselves as respectful professors in the Humanities, others as famous scientists. Philosophy helps us see the world from different perspectives; get acquainted with the thoughts of people from different generations and lifestyles.
Is There Anything Left to Explore?
Yes! Though we live in the 21st century and it seems like everything has been already discovered, explored and learned, it hasn't. Fundamental problems of existence are still worrying the minds of intelligent and inquisitive people.
Is There Any Point of Remembering so Many Names and Theories?
While studying philosophy, we are being fed with theories and names. It is easy to get lost. It may seem that these studies only complicate the way we see the world, but actually, they don't. We start to perceive reality from a different point of view, and we broaden our outlook. If we study philosophy, we enable ourselves to be open to new ideas. It also helps us to understand cultures different from ours.
Do We Have to Learn Everything?
It depends on the curriculum whether you should just blindly follow the information teachers give you or you should do some researches yourself. Sometimes philosophy classes are made to impose certain ideas that are convenient for government. Nevertheless, you can find advantages even in a situation like this: you can improve your critical thinking and get interested why exactly these theories were chosen for your studies. If you do that, you will improve your understanding of the way the world works.
To sum it up, there were so many people before us who tried to understand the way the world works, and there will be many more. You may agree or disagree with their theories. You may even create your own one. And this is the main advantage of learning philosophy - you can finally make up your mind about religion, politics, social relations and the number of other important subjects of modern society.
