M.S. Program in Medical Physics
This CAMPEP-approved 36-point program in medical physics leads to the M.S. degree. It is administered by faculty from the School of Engineering and Applied Science in collaboration with faculty from the College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Mailman School of Public Health. It provides preparation toward certification by the American Board of Radiology. The program consists of a core curriculum of medical and nuclear physics courses, anatomy, lab, seminar, a tutorial, one elective, and two practicums. Specific course requirements are APPH E4010, E4330, E4710, E4500, E4501, E4550, E4600, E6319, E6330, E6335, and APBM E4650. Approved electives include APPH E4711, APPH E6336, APAM E6650, and a third practicum. Up to 6 points of this 36-point program may be waived based on prior equivalent academic work. A student who enters the 36-point M.S. Program in Medical Physics having satisfactorily completed, prior to beginning the Program, a course determined by the faculty to be equivalent in content to a required course within the Program may be
considered to have satisfied that content requirement, may be allowed to have that requirement waived, and may be permitted to graduate from the M.S. Program in Medical Physics with fewer than 36 points, but not fewer than the 30-point minimum required by the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Evaluation of prior coursework may include review of syllabi, comparison of textbooks, consultation with instructors, and/or written or oral examination administered by Program faculty. A passing grade on a comprehensive examination is required for graduation. This examination, on subjects covered in the curriculum, is taken after two terms of study.
Certification of Professional Achievement in Medical Physics
This graduate program of instruction leads to the Certification of Professional Achievement and requires satisfactory completion of six of the following courses:
APPH E4330: Radiobiology
APPH E4500: Health physics
APPH E4600: Dosimetry
APBM E4650: Anatomy for physicists and engineers
APPH E6319: Clinical nuclear medicine physics or APPH E6330: Diagnostic radiology physics
APPH E6335: Radiation therapy physics or APPH E6336: Advanced topics in radiation therapy
This is a part-time nondegree program. Students are admitted to the department as certificate-track students.
After completing the M.S. program in applied physics, doctoral students specialize in one applied physics field. Some specializations have specific course requirements for the doctorate; elective courses are determined in consultation with the program adviser. Successful completion of an approved 30-point program of study is required in addition to successful completion of a written qualifying examination taken after two semesters of graduate study. An oral examination, taken within one year after the written qualifying examination, and a thesis proposal examination, taken within two years after the written qualifying examination, are required of all doctoral candidates.
Applied Mathematics
This graduate specialty, for students registered in the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, emphasizes applied mathematics research in nonlinear dynamics, fluid mechanics, and scientific computation, with a current emphasis on geophysical, biophysical, and plasma physics applications.
Applied mathematics deals with the use of mathematical concepts and techniques in various fields of science and engineering. Historically, mathematics was first applied with great success in astronomy and mechanics. Then it developed into a main tool of physics, other physical sciences, and engineering. It is now important in the biological, geological, and social sciences. With the coming of age of the computer, applied mathematics has transcended its traditional style and now
assumes an even greater importance and a new vitality.
Compared with the pure mathematician, the applied mathematician is more interested in problems coming from other fields. Compared with the engineer and the physical scientist, he or she is more concerned with the formulation of problems and the nature of solutions. Compared with the computer scientist, he or she is more concerned with the accuracy of approximations and the interpretation of results. Needless to say, even in this age of specialization, the work of mathematicians, scientists, and engineers frequently overlaps. Applied mathematics, by its very nature, has occupied a central position in this interplay and has remained a field of fascination and excitement for active minds.

Plasma Physics
This graduate specialty is designed to emphasize preparation for professional careers in plasma research, controlled fusion, and space research. This includes basic training in relevant areas of applied physics, with emphasis on plasma physics and related areas leading to extensive experimental and theoretical research in the Columbia University Plasma Physics Laboratory. Specific course requirements for the plasma physics doctoral program are APPH E4018, E4200, E4300, E6101, E6102, and E9142 or E9143, or equivalents taken at another university.
Optical and Laser Physics
This graduate specialty involves a basic training in relevant areas of applied physics with emphasis in quantum mechanics, quantum electronics, and related areas of specialization. Some active areas of research in which the student may concentrate are laser modification of surfaces, optical diagnostics of film processing, inelastic light scattering in nanomaterials, nonlinear optics, ultrafast optoelectronics photonic switching, optical physics of surfaces, and photon integrated circuits. Specific course requirements for the optical and laser physics doctoral specialization are set with the academic adviser.
Solid-State Physics
This graduate specialty encompasses the study of the electrical, optical, magnetic, thermal, high-pressure, and ultrafast dynamical properties of solids, with an aim to understanding them in terms of the atomic and electronic structure. The field emphasizes the formation, processing, and properties of thin films, low-dimensional structures—such as one- and two-dimensional electron gases, nanocrystals, surfaces of electronic and optoelectronic interest, and molecules. Facilities include a microelectronics laboratory, high-pressure diamond anvil cells, a molecular beam epitaxy machine, ultrahigh vacuum systems, lasers, equipment for the study of optical properties and transport on the nanoscale, and the instruments in the shared facilities overseen by the Columbia Nano Initiative (CNI). There are also significant resources for electrical and optical experimentation at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. Specific course requirements for the solid-state physics doctoral specialization are set with the academic adviser, in consultation with the Committee on Materials Science and Engineering/Solid-State Science and Engineering.

Summary Days 7-10
The swelling has slowly gone down and most pain is now associated with flexion and getting up in the morning and putting my leg on the ground. I feel a rush of blood going down my leg which burns for a minute or two, but after doing some plantar flexion/dorsiflexion that pain goes away. The biggest improvement I've seen so far is in my quad contraction:
Physical Therapy
I have started doing official PT with a physio at Academy Physical Therapy. The first session was just an evaluation, and today's session definitely showed me how fast I should be progressing. The biggest hurdle for me is mental, and being able to confidently put weight on the injured leg. Today the physio had me walk for 150-200 feet in the hallways of the office. Physio told me to stop using the brace as and do a few tough exercises twice daily:
- Quad Sets – as many as I can, going to shoot for 3X50
- Wall Hang – This is for flexion, where I lay on my back and mark where my hips are and mark where my feet are on the wall. Slowly bring the legs down to see how far my feet can go on the wall. 5-10 minutes.
- Bike – This is the hardest one so far, but trying to do a full revolution on the bike. For the bike at the PT office, I'm at the highest seat setting (27) and I still can't make the full revolution. Aim for 15 revolutions.
- Wall Squat – 2X15 don't pass 90 degrees of flexion
- Walking – Nuff said

This financial services leading firm just shared its 2015 performance and its 2016 plans on its 4th edition of the famous hedge fund industry M&A overview. This overview entailed the general transaction activities for the firm and the M&A opportunities that the firm engaged in. The overview states that Madison Street Capitals' hedge fund deals that were closed in 2015 all over the world amounted to 42. In the previous year, 2014, the firm had a total of 32 transactions, 10 less than the 2015 figure. This signifies an increase in the number of transactions for the firm and also the general business activities of the firm. An approximate of 27% increase in transaction volume was recorded in 2015 in comparison to the volumes of 2014. The fourth quarter of 2015 was the most prosperous season for Madison Street Capital as most transactions were recorded during this period. The overview says that the firm focuses on much more success in 2016 using its key market drivers to create more opportunities and thus increase their deal momentum. This report reveals that Madison Street Capital aims to be the best performing hedge fund firm this year.
Deeper analysis on the overview reveals that assets in the hedge fund industry were able to maintain their normal best value. This came in the midst of a bad performance session in 2015 that was caused by bad hedge fund strategies. The lagging hedge fund performance pushed institutional investors into rapidly allocating their investments to the alternative asset management sector. These investors were driven by the search of higher competitive returns that were parallel to the rising liabilities. Some of the hedge funds had to operate be optimal portfolio capacity levels to get new clients and boost their income. Due to high operational costs in the industry, hedge funds had to resort to strategic alternatives.

I was just getting ready to put Judah to bed when I walked past our window and gasped. The setting sun had peeked through the rain clouds and shot a beam of late-afternoon yellow onto the tree across from our apartment. It was stunning - a gray background with this super-saturated yellow and green against it.
The leaves flutter lightly and I just watch it all change to gold.
Josh Garrels sings in the background the song that was on when I walked in the door after work today, and it's been on repeat since.
"Tempted and tried, I wondered why..."
"Still, I get hard pressed on every side between a rock and a compromise."
"Truth and a pack of lies fighting for my soul."
"Where did I go wrong? I sang along to every song that the devil wrote like a piper at the gates".
It's an 'already, not yet' sort of song, filled with both the struggle of today and the glory infused by grace, because despite the fight he describes....oh, oh!
"There's so much more to life than we've been told, it's full of beauty that that will unfold and shine like we struck gold..."
"I've got no place left to go, cause I got changed by what I've been shown, more glory than the world has known keeps me rambling on."
And it feels like the voice of God to me and I look up and the brilliant leaves just a silhouette and the sky is illuminated and I am stopped.
And one day when the sky rolls back on us
Some rejoice and the others fuss
Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess
That the Son of God is forever blessed
His is the kingdom, we're the guests
So put your voice up to the test
Sing Lord, come soon
Yes, is He not the treasure I am looking for in every house of cards? Is it not in Him that I find it, this glory I ache for?
And then, in a moment, it's gone. The sun is down.

Regardless of the weight you lose or gain, the proportions of your body and where your body distributes its weight are mostly to do with your genetics.
Right now, I am at my heaviest (plan on losing a bit of weight) and here are my stats:
Age: 19
Height: 5'7"
Bust: 36DDD (around the fullest part is 47")
Waist: 32"
Hips: 44"
Bust-to-waist difference: 15"
Waist-to-hips difference: 12"
I have what they call a "vase" body type - It is really close to an hourglass, except I am a bit more busty.
Even though I am at my heaviest, even when I lose weight, my proportions tend to stay almost exactly the same.
I think instead of trying to reach an "ideal" we should all just embrace our own shape and just make it healthy.

My Favorite First AlbumsPosted: February 25, 2015 by nickd0913 in Uncategorized
Prince recently made a statement concerning albums at the Grammy Awards. He said "Albums — remember those?" Albums still matter. Albums, like books and black lives, still matter." Take what you want from that statement.
I am going to focus on the album part of the statement. I still think albums matter too. I am disappointed that buying albums is becoming a thing of the past. I think sitting down and listening to an album from start to finish is one of the best things you can do. I try to listen to one complete album every single day. When you listen to albums you discover great songs that are never played on the radio and you develop an even greater appreciation for the band. There is no playlist or streaming service that can replace the joy of listening to and owning a great album.
The reason I am talking about albums is because I want to focus on some great albums that have become essential to my collection over the years. A friend of mine who will remain nameless but has the nickname of Trapper once told me that it is common knowledge that a band's 1st album is always their best. That is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard but there are some great 1st albums out there. Today I am going to share some of my favorites.
The Black Keys – The Big Come Up
I vividly remember the first time I heard this record. My brother was playing it in my parents garage. I got out of my car and heard this album playing. I could not believe how great it sounded. It was loud with huge guitar riffs and catchy hooks. I was shocked to find out this band was 2 white guys from Akron, Ohio. First of all they did not sound white and they did not sound like they were just 2 guys. If you claim to be a Black Keys fan, and pretty much everyone does these days,and you do not own this album you need to fix that real quick. Check out "Busted" from back when they used to still play clubs. Turn the volume up to get the full effect.
Wilco – A.M.
There once was a great band called Uncle Tupelo. This band had 2 guys that could not get along. Their names were Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar. So Uncle Tupelo was no more. From the ashes of that band came Wilco(Jeff Tweedy) and Son Volt (Jay Farrar). In 1995 both bands would release incredible albums. We will start with "A.M.". If you only listen to the first three songs on this album you will love it. One of the best starts to any album in a long time. Don't stop with those 3 songs, listen to the entire album. It is a great mix of Stones like rockers and alt country acoustic gems. The Wilco of today is nothing like the Wilco that made this record. I love both versions of this band but "A.M." will probably always be my favorite Wilco record. Give the nasty "Casino Queen" a listen.
Son Volt – Trace
As much as I love "A.M." I love "Trace" even more. I would consider this album a modern day classic. For all intents and purposes this is a straight up country record, that rocks at certain points, but it would never get played on main stream radio. I think in the world of "Alt-Country" this is a top 5 record of all time. Jay Farrar's distinctive voice mixed with the sound of acoustic guitars, pedal steel guitar, fiddle, huge guitar riffs, and great lyrics make for the perfect album. Not one weak song on this record. As one record critic once said, "When in doubt, Trace". This album has been a go to album for me since it came out and it always will be. Here is "Drown" from Austin City Limits.
Counting Crows – August & Everything After
In the fall of 1993 I was living in Cincinnati, Ohio. I was reading Rolling Stone magazine one night and I read the review of this album. I immediately went to the record store in the mall and purchased this album. I had never heard one song from the band or even heard of the band. After buying this album I wore it out for at least the next year. This is one of my favorite albums of the 1990s. I love a lot of the albums that came out of Seattle but at the time I did not connect with those records. I immediately connected with this one. "Mr. Jones" was probably the biggest hit from this record but the album is much deeper than just that song. If you are my age it is pretty much a guarantee you bought this record in 1993-1994. You should bust it out and give it a listen. It holds up after all these years. My favorite song from this record is "Omaha". Check it out.
Patty Griffin – Living With Ghosts
I did not discover this album until it had been out about 5 years. It came out in 1996 and I stumbled up on it in 2001. I found it during a pretty interesting time in my life and basically listened to it every single day for months on end. The album is pretty much just Patty and her guitar. It is, for the most part, the demos she made for the album and the demos became the album. Her voice is incredible, and her songwriting is as good as anyone making music today. I encourage you to check out this album and every other one she has ever made.
These are just a few "1st albums" that I love. Some others that I did not mention.
Ray Lamontagne – Trouble
John Prine – John Prine
Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin I
Steve Earle – Guitar Town
Ryan Adams – Heartbreaker
Whiskeytown – Faithless Street
Dwight Yoakam – Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc.,Etc.
Sturgill Simpson – High Top Mountain

|At least I can still play
Bejweled Blitz…
I've had enough with technology. Apple: You really can't charge a premium for your iPhone 4s and then take the Apple Siri server down. What have I learned today? Technology is not always reliable.
I've learned this over a series of weeks, actually. I feel like every piece of technology I touch dies! Thank goodness my car is still functioning–but my desktop computer, mini laptop…they suffered horrible fates. When my phone freaks out, I become paranoid. Did I break Siri?
All I know is that I've had enough with technology. I'm exasperated. However, I can't exactly write an article by hand and send it over to my editors. Everyone uses electronic submission processes now (thankfully, because my handwriting is atrocious and I can type faster than I can write by hand). My point is this: I can't survive in contemporary society without technology, especially not with my job, which requires being plugged in to write about the latest news and submit articles electronically.
What do you do when you're exasperated with technology? I thought I should stop working for an hour and head onto a video game, but…well, that also involves technology.
Thank goodness I kept some of those good old-fashioned things around. What are they called? Oh yeah. Books!

She started out as a Physical Therapist in 1982 and soon she discovered the Feldenkrais Method, a holistic approach to movement and learning on all levels. At the same time, she was introduced to Eurythmy, which unites movement, poetry and music. Subsequently, she became a Feldenkrais Practitioner and an Eurythmist and worked within both professions out of her private practice in Germany. Since 2008, Andrea and her family have lived in Seattle. In February 2011, she completed her three year Eurythmy Therapy Training in Copake, NY.

Spring is in a hurry here. The shoots are pushing up and multiplying daily. While it is delightful to walk in lighter clothes and shoes, it is disconcerting to see the temperatures break records daily. It is the warmest March on record.
Each year the shoots hold the secrets of forthcoming flowers. Soon this bed will be blanketed with blue as the scylla burst forth. Change and growth - that is spring.

Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP) consists language skills that allow people to communicate using academic language. This type of language takes place in the classroom from kindergarten through college, and in the professional workplace. Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency is also more abstract in nature, which will require the student to employ higher-order cognitive skills in order to acquire the secondary target language.3 Due to the lack of high volume feedback, which is found in basic interpersonal communication skills (BICS) it can take a person from five to seven years to acquire cognitive academic language proficiency (CALP). The adoption of cognitive academic language proficiency depends on many variables such as language proficiency level, age, time of arrival in the United States and at school, student motivation, total years of education in the native language, level of academic language proficiency, negative or low expectations from the student and the teacher, and the degree of support.4

These days there are plenty of dieting books and trendy fads in Colorado on how to lose weight. Many are get rich quick types and some starve yourself types but from Atkins to Slim Fast, there probably isn't anything better than the old fashion tried and true method of exercising and eating right.
Denver is ranked number nine for Healthiest Cities in America according to MSN.com. People in Denver have one of the best-ranked Body Mass Index scores in America with a high level of physical activity. However, Denver has a high rate of diabetes and hypertension, or high blood pressure.
It's not hard to be encouraged to exercise in Denver when most of the city is fairly fit and the mountains are not that far away. However, there are those who carry some extra baggage who have not yet discovered the most natural way to lose weight.
Think back to 1925 when many people did not have easy access to processed foods or "junk food." In fact, 1925 is the year when frozen foods first really took hold by inventor Clarence Birdseye. Many people had to grow their own foods or walk down to the grocery store to buy fresh foods instead of jump in their car to drive down the block and buy an entire cart full of boxed and canned foods.
The onset of technology and convenience foods has encouraged Americans in Colorado to exercise less and sit around more.
The old saying, "exercise and eat right," seems to have disappeared from society. It is either exercise like a maniac or eat right but do not exercise. There is a happy medium that will effectively help people to lose weight, depending on their body types, but moderate activity such as daily walks or jogging for twenty minutes a day will help people in Denver lose weight.
Eating healthy means balancing the amount of meat and vegetables on your plate as well as eating healthy grains and fruit. Many people do not make meals from scratch anymore but rather just stick a frozen dinner into the microwave and expect to receive the required amount of daily nutrients from their processed foods.
One in four babies born in 2000 will develop diabetes. Gluten intolerance is a growing epidemic among Coloradans. What you eat now will greatly affect your body in the future.
Another popular option is to drive to a nearby Denver restaurant and order the unhealthiest thing on the menu. If you must eat this way, then you must remember that the human body is programmed to crave sweets and fats for when life was hard and we worked outside 10-15 hours per day. That is all good and well but not when most people in Colorado work sitting down for eight hours a day. Balance that out with exercise.
Doctors recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate to intense level of physical activity most days of the week. Get the family to Denver City Park and take the dog with you. Then come home and make a home cooked meal that the entire family sits down together to eat.
It is also important to not skip out on any meals. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day to charge you up. Lunch does not need to consist solely of a salad. Your common sense should tell you whether or not something is healthy. Dinner is perfect for Denver family time as well as a post dinner stroll through the neighborhood. For those who do not have children, studies show that women are happier in their relationships when they take walks with their significant other.
Lastly, make sure you get enough sleep because lack of sleep stresses out the body and can result in weight gain.

ARV's = chemotherapy
"Chemotherapy and radiotherapy, whilst highly effective in the treatment of neoplasia, can also cause damage to healthy tissue. In particular, the alimentary tract may be badly affected. Severe inflammation, lesioning and ulceration can occur."
"Th disruption or loss of rapidly dividing epithelial progenitor cells is a trigger for the onset of the disorder."
"Severe inflammation, lesioning, ulceration and bleeding can occur in the mouth, esophagus, and intestine."
"...ability to absorb nutrients much reduced..."
Hummmm, I wonder what 11 years of chemo-compound drugs will do to the intestinal tract? These were short term results done on cancer patients.
4 comments:
Only one remark - the phraseReplyDelete
"whilst highly effective in the treatment of neoplasia"
is really a shameless exaggeration. Chemotherapy has, in actual controlled studies, been found to be about 2 to 3% effective. Such low efficacy would be unacceptable in any other form of treatment. But apparently in cancer therapy, this is called "highly effective".
For a discussion of this aspect, see
- AnonymousSeptember 30, 2010 at 1:54 PM
I am a little confused. Did you go thru chemotherapy? Did you also have cancer at the same time as HIV? Or are you saying antriretrovirals are chemo? Because they are not. ARVs are highly specific meds. Each class targets specific enzymes that HIV requires to replicate. They do not indiscriminately kill other cells. ARVs and chemo drugs are not even close pharmacologically.ReplyDelete
Anonymous, please see my new post to address your above confusion.ReplyDelete
"The caveat in all this is that these drugs are toxic. And the lesson of cancer chemotherapy is that the longer you take the drugs, the greater the toxicity. It's cumulative...That may not be a problem, if it turns out you only have to take these drugs for two or three years to get full (HIV) suppression. But if the time scale is three to forty years, you will reach toxicity."ReplyDelete

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 22, 2016) - Striking workers from the Region of Peel Children's Aid Society (Peel CAS) were at Queen's Park today to ask the government to do what it can to break the deadlock in their ten-week-long strike.
Members of Local 4914 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE 4914) which represents 435 front-line, administrative and support staff for Peel CAS have been on strike since September 18. The largest remaining outstanding issues are caseload and job evaluation language with front-line workers stating that addressing these issues will prevent children from falling through the cracks due to workload issues and will bring Peel CAS in line with comparably-funded agencies.
"This is not about money," said Sonia Yung, President of Local 4914, "this is about doing what is right to protect one of the most vulnerable populations in Peel Region." The strike has carried on for ten weeks despite the union's repeated requests to get back to the bargaining table and offer to take the outstanding issues to binding arbitration. "We have shown that we are the only side that is serious about ending this strike. We believe that we can negotiate this deal, and we also believe that an arbitrator will recognize that these issues are about the children's well-being," she said, explaining CUPE 4914's presence at Queen's Park. "If Peel CAS won't do what is right for the children and families of Peel, then we turn to the government to do what is right and act to break this deadlock."
Several NDP MPPs joined CUPE 4914 in asking the government to act. Yesterday, Ontario NDP Children and Youth Services Critic, Monique Taylor, called attention to the strike and the need for case load caps so that vulnerable children get the care they need. Today, Hamilton East—Stoney Creek MPP Paul Miller gave a statement on the strike and Ontario NDP Deputy Leader Jagmeet Singh compared the situation in Peel to similar jurisdictions, asking whether the children of Peel deserve the same quality of care. In response, Deputy Premier Deb Matthews reiterated that the government could not comment on the specifics of the dispute, but everyone involved needs to do everything they can for the children of Peel.
As of today, no future bargaining dates have been scheduled.

By Bunmi Sofola
Dear Bunmi,
I've been close to a group of women for a long time and we talk openly about various topics. Recently, one of our group member's sister suffered a cancer scare and she was warned not to get pregnant for a couple of years. Our group was all for her not even having sex at all and joked that she should be glad to be off the boil! It was obvious that some of them don't have frequent sex with their husbands.
For the past few years, I've been struggling to overcome a dislike of sex. I love my husband but don't feel like having sex as often as he does. Sometimes we start, but I soon lose interest. I think I have reached the age where sex loses its appeal! I'm approaching 50 and fear he could look for sex elsewhere.
By E-mail
Dear Kubirat,
There isn't a universal age at which your libido switches off. Many couples in their 80s enjoy love making, while there are thirty-somethings who've sunk into sexual apathy.
"Use it or lose it†holds true for lovemaking. So maybe your friends got into the habit of not doing it. It could be causes of unresolved issues in their marriage.
But what about yours? Do you feel resentful of your husband or neglected by him? One theory for loss of desire is that the woman blocks herself with negative thoughts about her partner during sex. As you start off aroused but lose your desire, this sounds a possibility. Focus on the positive to see if that helps. And let your husband know you miss sex. He must feel rejected and will appreciate knowing you want to reconnect.
At 50, this is the time to enjoy love-making without inhibiting fears of pregnancy.
I am obsessed with my teacher
Dear Bunmi,
I am 17 and I've just started at a polytechnic. I really enjoy my studies but I currently have a crush on one of my teachers. Even though he's in his 40s, he looks really sexy. Every time I have lectures with him, I get excited. When he comes up to me in class, I get really shy. I'm normally a loud girl but I'm very quiet during his lessons. I'm sure he has realised that something is wrong. All this is making me disoriented with my studies. Can you help?
By E-mail.
Dear Agnes,
As you've already observed, when you become attracted to the opposite sex, you think and dream of little other than the person who has suddenly become the object of your attention. And because you don't know the person well, you're able to fantasise that he's a desirable and perfect person you'll fall for is often inappropriate and not someone that would make a satisfactory mate.
So enjoy your crush while it lasts. Believe me, the thrilling feelings you now sense will soon pass. One day, not so far from now, your teacher will seem like just another middle-aged man. You'll wonder what you ever saw in him. To end your crush more quickly, focus on all the sensible and down-to-earth things that tell you this teacher could never be your boyfriend. In time you'll be able to give the love that you now feel to some nice young men who catches your eye.
He's nagging me to have group sex
Dear Bunmi,
My current boyfriend is a real charmer and I get on well with his friends. A few nights back, we all went out together to a night club and there was some harmless dirty dancing.
Since the guys brought their own girlfriends, there weren't any bad feelings. Only now my boyfriend has this crazy idea that we should have group sex with some of his friends.
He said he's tried it before and it was not a big deal. What do you think?
Dear Angela,
You'd be out of your mind to even consider it. This whole thing suggests your boyfriend is far more concerned with having a bit of fun than developing a loving caring relationship with you. He's much more interested in being good to his friends than considering what you want. As for his happy-go-lucky friends, they'll see you as an easy meat from now on.
So say a firm no. If you still want to see this man after the suggestion he's made, see him without this bunch of friends hanging around. And if he or his friends come up with another bright ideas, run a mile.
He finds condoms too fiddly!
Dear Bunmi,
My boyfriend is really hopeless when it comes to using condoms. Sometimes he can't put one on at all, but at other times, they will slide on quite easily only for them to slop off even when we try smaller sizes. Please help!
By Email
Dear Leila,
It sounds as if your boyfriend would benefit from reading the instruction inside the packet before he next leaps on you! If the condom won't roll on easily, then chances are that he's not fully erect, or that the condom's inside out. If it slips off during sex then it could mean that he's wilted a little, or that it's the wrong size.
A condom that's too small will slip off just easily as one that's too big, as it won't fit properly in the first place. So perhaps your boyfriend should actually try using a larger size next time1
Our love has lost its sparkle
Dear Bunmi,
I've been in a relationship with a man I greatly adore for close to a year. It used to be a passionate relationship but he's been acting very withdrawn lately. I don't think there's anyone else; it just seems as if the magic has gone and I'm terrified he has stopped loving me. Is there a way I could tell if he still cares?
By E-mail
Dear Amina,
There is no foolproof way to tell if someone has stopped loving you. But there are clues. So try this quick test I came across recently to check the state of your relationship:
(a) Does he still have happy memories of when you first met?
(b) Does he still flinch away when you go to kiss or hug him?
(c) Does he talk positively about you to other people?
(d) Have you actual proof that he has recently lied to you or deceived you?
(e) Is he still talking enthusiastically about a future together?
(f) Has he started to refuse to do things that you want him to do?
If you said 'yes' to questions a, c, or e, score one point for each. If you said 'no' to questions b, d, or f, score one point for each. If you scored a total of six, it's unlikely your partner has fallen out of love. You need to sit down and talk to him about what he thinks and feels. If he's prepared to talk — particularly if he is willing to try to get things back on track then there is still hope.
Isn't this toy boy too young?
Dear Bunmi,
I've just ended a terrible relationship that left me really heart broken. A few weeks back, I ran into this man at a wedding reception and we exchanged business cards. He looked terribly younger when he called wearing casuals than when he did in the agbada he had on at the wedding that I had to ask him how old he was. He said he was 29 and I'm 45!
When I told him, he was young, he said it didn't bother him. My friends believe I should take it as a compliment that someone that young finds me attractive. Should I go for it?
By E-mail
Dear Lade,
I agree with your friends — take this as a compliment and enjoy it thoroughly. But it would be foolish to fall head-over-heels for this young man or expect a long term commitment.
This is almost certainly not something that is going to last. It is a fun fling to get you your confidence back after the break-up. See it as that and you'll be fine. Get serious and you're heading for another heartbreak.

Can A Filipino or Foreigner Buy DAR-Titled Land? (Department of Agrarian Reform)
Have you seen the land titles in the Philippines? Some of them are written in English, some in tagalog, some of them are issued by the Bureau of Lands, some from the Department of Agrarian Reform, some appear to be written by Presidents, and some are even from the United States government. So, are these titles secure?
The answer I've found is that most titles that are issued can be transferred - but the one type of title that is most problematic is those issued by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR).
Here in the Philippines, DAR titles are given from time to time when land is redistributed and broken up, usually to tenant farmers. The titles usually say that the land cannot be transferred, but then it gets vague - that they can be transferred to family, that they can be transferred ten or more years after the issuance, etc.
Well, I've now investigated a bunch of these titles here locally in Dumaguete, Negros Oriental.
The basic answer that I found from many lawyers and from all offices of DAR is that the titles cannot be transferred. If you're a Filipino, you can buy the land, take occupancy, and get a receipt that you bought it, but you are not guaranteed that you'll be issued a title. Sometimes, the DAR officers after years of begging will allow a new tenant to get a new (DAR) title for the DAR land they "illegally" bought. But on the other hand, you run the risk of never getting a title. Of course if you're a foreigner, you're not allowed to own land in any case, so don't even think about trying to buy DAR land!
One local lawyer said he would happily conduct a sale and give us a deed of sale for a DAR property, but that he would never try to process it through the offices, which is a very difficult process, and cannot be done by a lawyer but only by a begging "landowner".
In short, as another lawyer told us, just avoid DAR-titled property, whether it's in the beach, mountains, whatever - because any change of local or general government calls the legitimacy of your title into question. Just by anything else. Of course, the "anything else" title had better be thorougly investigated on its own merits as well!

New Delhi: Contrary of what people perceive of Bollywood, Vidya Balan says she doesn`t feel the industry is a "big bad world".
"I had heard film industry is a big bad world, but I lead my world my way and on my own terms. I was very clear from the beginning and had made it a point that others also know that I was only and only interested in work and nothing more than that," said Vidya in the capital Saturday, attending the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit.
"I became an actor to live life of many actors. I have dabbled in all the mediums. I have done ad-films, I have done television and I have done films, because that is what I wanted to do - be an actor. I grew up as a film fan. I had a burning desire to show my skills to the world," she added.
The 32-year-old also feels that newcomers need to keep their foot down and be clear with their own thinking process.
"I don`t think it`s a bad world. Now that I have been here, I can say this with my experience. One does get to hear about other peoples` experience, stories of exploitation, casting couch. But trust me, all is in your own hands. It all depends on how you present yourself and approach," she said.
Filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar, who too was one of the speakers at the conference, shared the same sentiments.
"I completely agree with Vidya, every industry has an underbelly. It is important for you to make your own choice and stand for it," said Farhan.

It's one of the most infamous screenshots in Xbox history. An early screen grab showed Master Chief wielding a flamethrower. That awesome weapon never made it into the original Halo or Halo 2, much to the chagrin of fans. Good news Halo faithful, Master Chief will finish the fight packing the ultimate Covenant toasting device. The flamethrower has made its way into Halo 3. You may now call in sick the week of September 25.
Burn BABY! BURN!
Flame On!!!
I'm bring this to the next flame war! ;-)
I was thinking of that too. It should be called "Hell Tap" - Fresh Fires from the boiling depths of Hell
Wow, this is awesome...
(Also dont forget to check the second page of that article.)
with a flamethrower is good to me and man that thing looks BADASS
my god..does it ever stop?! we just keep hearing more n more n more about this game!!
i can't wait!!
f*ckin awesome. this can give ratchet and clank a run for it's money in terms of sheer number of weapons
There won't be time for any other game....Multiplayer will be taking MOST of my time. I still play Halo 2 and this looks to be 100 times better....WOW....
one of the best shooters of all time gets some new killing tools, thank you bungie!
What Would you Have your Arbiter Do? :)
ZOMFG!!! Fire weapons!!
I can see it now "1001 ways to cook a grunt" ^_^
Is this picture ingame or what?
dosnt he look amazing ??
i can't think of any time other than the halo3 ad (and they were very clear in stating that it was not in game)that bungie has shown any non-ingame pics or vids. only devs that are scared to show what they have do that.(heres looking at you gorilla games) and yes halo 3 looks awesome!!!
im at work and cant check the page would you mind someone posting a link strait to the pic for me!
I often imagine a scenario where i have to choose just the one game to last me the rest of my life.From all the games that have ever been released and those currently on the horizon, i would bet my being most happy with Halo3 - the fun seems like it will be endless and while we don't actually know if Halo3 will deliver ,i'll quite happily bet on it right now.Waiting on this is becoming truly difficult.
Your so my best friend right now!!!! i wonder if the flame thrower might melt the snow, i bet it does cause this time around bungie seriously thought of everything! i personally thought the beta was sick so adding everything they have talked about just makes the game sound un-topable ( is that a word?) anyways cant wait
I'm so making a game variant called "Hell". :D
well, this is totaly killing the rumor about the flashbang. It´s shown in the E3 trailer too. It got the same shape. Why can´t September come any faster? You´re killing me, Bungie.
I'm pretty sure the flashbang is a piece of equipment.
But it could still be nonexistant.
the Flare, as it is called is an equipment. it was confirmed in the recent E.G.M.
If you go to Bungie.net u can download the new Bungie Podcast that came today. They actually mention that a jackal sniper uses a flare (flash bang) in the campaign while he's fighting a couple of brutes.
So I guess we now have 5 different grenades:
Frag Grenade
Plasma Grenade
Spike Grenade
Flare (flash bang)
Firebomb (fire grenade)
The flare (flashbang) is a piece of equipment, NOT a grenade; It's in the new EGM.
its great that Microsoft is bringing back flamethrower to HALO 3 but SOME of you are thinking like its a new weapon for the HALO franchise. it was in HALO COMBAT EVOVLED(PC). but its pretty sweet that they are bringing it back.
most people missed out when it was on the pc now they can enjoy like the rest of us
i take it you just hit puberty or something
That flamethrower is the [email protected]!#. I think we're having a fiesta on sept 25th. I can't wait to see ya'll online.
Halo online,
So from me it's:
Yeah, looks so awesome! Can't wait to hide from you in a corner online!
It's no doubt that all post Halo shooters borrow from it one way or another... but Halo 3 TAKES from resistance rather blatantly..
Fire Bomb Grenade = Resistance's Air-Fuel fire bomb (this one can stick to the environment and Player characters as well)
Flamethrower = Resistance's L11-2 Dragon (it sucked on Combat Evolved folks.. for real. think they saw how well insomniac implemented it)
The Bubble Shield Equipment = Resistance's Backlash Grenades (not exact same function.. but essentially a large bubble that remains on field that can encapsulate player(s))
The New Spike Grenade = My fav. Resistance's Chimeran brainchild the Hedgehog grenades (they don't adhere to surfaces but shoot spikes everywhere not just in a directed conical fashion like the Halo 3 version)
Has anyone else noticed the uncanny similarities between the new Brute Spiker weapons and Ratchet Clank's (also by Insomniac) Seeker.. Resistance will never be as culturally significant or as renowned as Halo, though it deserves to be, but i just think credit should be given when due
Edit: Haze's asymmetrical multiplayer system also takes monumentally from resistance's human vs. chimera online battles
everyone copies everyone else...get over it
so since resistance used those few things before bungie, the Halo franchise has to miss out on them???
Get real, nobody even plays resistance and it's not AAA game, it's still good though.
I knew you Sony fanboys were stupid, but I figured you could at least read, guess I was wrong. The article states that the flamethrower was planned for Halo 2 but could not be implemented due to the hardware. Check the dates, I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that Halo 2 came out before RFOM.
not a fan troll fa99ot i have an xbox 360 send me a request "Militant Sniper" so I could destroy u and a friend in gears and show u how big a sony fanboy i am.. and resistance is very much a AAA title (gears equivalent in my eyes).. i bet u haven't even played it...
seriously get at me... ill rape any of u xbots on ur beloved platform Tag: Militant Sniper
1. The Flamethrower was in Halo 1 for the PC, so that proves you wrong.
2. The Bubble Shield and other weapons/equipment was actually planned long before RFOM was released, just so you know.
just incase u didnt know halo 1 pc version had the flamethrower so trust me they didnt have to take that from resistance
You're calling people out on a forum? to do what? try and beat them at a video game? You're pathetic. Thanks for you gamertag though. I am sure there are people here that will make good use of that information.
harder, better, faster, stronger
do want to know something i feel resistance copied from halo, the chimera=flood, they infect what they kill, hmmm.. reminds me of the flood from halo, besides resistance doesn't have anything on this game and never will
oh and anyone who uses the term xbot is a sony fan troll
the guy is right. if you read what he's saying, it's true. its lucky for bungie that microsoft has terrible first party games except for halo. if there were other good titles in the ms lineup, you crazed lunatics might see that halo 3 is going to be just like halo 2 which is just like the the original halo. someone tell bungie to come up with some new material....oh, you fanboys act like you've never heard of a flamethrower before. get a grip!
see this is why resistance was forgotten about...fanboys like you compare!
Resistance is a great game
but when you compare it to Gears...
no chance.
Can't compare a piece of sh*t like RFOM to Halo. The ONLY reason its sold as much as it did is cuz it was a launch title. Ive played it, its garbage. It brings nothing new to FPS's and the multiplayer is sh*t. Its so awesome how the chimera can sprint and see through walls...*rolls eyes* And its such a blast playing with 40 ppl in complete silence...NOT.
awesome anyone?
fo real man i need to play with some n4g people on halo or gears my tag is andapaul add me if u want
well there was a N4G clan at one point and I was a member but I dont think anything became of it.
you'd have to contact LUCID.
ill be more than happy to rape the sh!t out of you in gears
MS sure are treating us nice - we're lucky F!ckers
Either they lie about owning a 360 or they actually own it and play more games on it than their beloved poo-ray3 yet they are under mind control like MannyHarlem kid, he thinks just cause he owns both no one cant see hes a blind sony kid pretending like hes neutral, in fact many sony kids who actually trash talk the 360 are playin and having more fun with it than what the delaystation offers= hypocrits but they suffer from so much mind control they still have to bash it so they can be cool and keep their spg badge. I garuantee you sony kids will be playing 360 games like Bio H3 and ME but still talkin shiii about 360 even when Lair is collecting dust after 10 min. -ha ha sony kids are so pathetic=
but with only 2 games I would play this year Resistance and uncharted its not worth buying till next year this time or later after more games and another price cut.
wasn't it bill gates who said halo 3 releases the same day ps3 launches? that's a delay. what about all the millions of 360's that are catching dust at repair centers? not going to be playing much on those systems any time soon. and i have played games on my friends 360 but i didn't like it. the thing sounds like a blender grinding up rocks and if you set within 20 ft. of it you begin to sweat because of the volcano-like heat it puts off. but, since you've been BRAINWASHED into believing it's a good system, enjoy yourself.
pants cause I just sh!t them!
no time uncontrollable. Felt real good though.
Bungie knew what they were doing. Instead of blowing their entire wad at E3 they decided to save their best bits to gradually build up the anticipation all the way up to Sept. 25th...every couple of days we get a little more info...building up more steam until the release date.

What Is TAN Pyramid
Thank you for visiting TAN in search of "What Is TAN Pyramid" online.
It should be difficult to get more small increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having small increases is more rewarding than trying to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to examine publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Second, there's more unpredictability and reward in monies that haven't made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making massive ammonts of cash with various types of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin architecture provides an informative example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an astonishing intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it's generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on quite successful business models made available as a result of growing use of blockchain technology.
The formation of websites has changed many lives, but there is always a concern in regards to the security of websites. There are other people with ill intentions who will see what you're doing online. They could monitor your tendencies with time. Some of the matters they could check online include seeing your online pictures, what you post online and even track your fiscal transitions over time with an intent of stealing from you. Even if there are many options which have been executed, there is always risk due to third parties. For instance, when buying online using a credit card, you may be giving away lots of your personal info to the third party. There are also transaction fees which make online payment expensive.
You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you learn to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! Viewers incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times)
It's certainly possible, but it must be able to understand opportunities no matter market behavior. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even if it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be ok.

Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for broadcast trades on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate jobs to process and affirm these trades. Bitcoin miners do this because they can get transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but they also take part in more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits advanced dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof that the transaction happened. This can be possibly used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or any regulatory agencies. Therefore, it really is more immune to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy threats. Security and privacy can easily be attained by simply being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't place your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.
Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the number of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is just not to imply that markets usually are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there exists no need for substantial amounts of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The slightest occasions on earth market can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.
Since one of the earliest forms of earning money is in money financing, it is a fact that you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites now focus on Bitcoin, Some of these websites you're needed fill in a captcha after a certain time period and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with an acceptable investment strategy.

For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to understand how the process works in and of itself, but it is basically crucial that you understand that there's a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we understand them now where Authorities and banks can just choose to print endless amounts (I am not saying they're doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.
A lot of people choose to use a currency deflation, notably individuals who need to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Fiscal privacy, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; in case you are living paycheck to paycheck, it would take place as part of your riches, with the remainder allowed for other currencies.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too quickly, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could improve drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that could lead to company being unable to continue to run or to stop operation.
You've probably noticed this often times where you frequently distribute the nice word about crypto. "It's not unpredictable? What goes on if the price accidents? " to date, many POS programs delivers free conversion of fiat, relieving some issue, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, many people will soon be resistant to keep any. We need to find a method to combat the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.

In case of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it might perhaps be dealt like a product. Advocates of cryptocurrencies say that sort of virtual money isn't manipulated by way of a key banking system and is not therefore subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are always a limited variety of goods, this cashis benefit is based on market forces, letting owners to industry over cryptocurrency transactions.
The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of character of the method by which it's transacted. All transactions on a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. When you're paid, you get paid. This is simply not anything short-term wherever your web visitors could dispute or need a refunds, or use unethical sleight of hand. Used, many traders could be smart to use a transaction processor, because of the irreversible character of crypto-currency deals, you have to be sure that protection is tough. With any kind of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially get access to your personal secrets and therefore steal your money. Sadly, you probably can never obtain it back. It is quite crucial for you to undertake some excellent secure and safe methods when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing so will guard you from most of these adverse functions.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much higher potential for solving a block, but the benefit will be divided between all members of the pool, according to the amount of "shares" won.
If you are thinking of going it alone, it is worth noting the software settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This option also creates a stable stream of earnings, even if each payment is modest compared to fully block the wages.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers claim that there is "real" value, even through there isn't any physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period that's worth an ever decreasing amount of money or some kind of benefit to be able to ensure the deficit. Each coin includes many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which is among the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of trades dwells. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason for this could be just that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It is also possible the regulators just do not understand the technology and its implications, anticipating any developments to act.
Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a specific address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in the exact same way a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is simply a representation of worth, but there is no genuine tangible sort of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal constraints imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed.

As regards public contracts, SSW's services extend to cover support for both parties in the process of concluding a contract within the public procurement procedure, i.e. those entities awarding contracts based on the procedure laid down by statute (tenderers) and those contractors applying for the award of a contract (tenderees).
We prepare and implement the contract awarding process in the manner laid down by statute and at the stage of concluding the relevant contract.
We support both tenderers and tenderees as regards the use of legal protection measures connected with tenders (e.g. preparing protests against decisions taken by the tenderer during the course of the proceedings; appeals against decisions concerning such protests; legal representation before the National Chamber of Appeal (KIO); assisting in preparing decisions concerning protests and, in the event that an appeal is lodged, representing Clients before the National Chamber of Appeal of the President of the Public Procurement Office).
Public-Private Partnerships
The PPP formula facilitates cooperation between private entrepreneurs and the public sector. The aim of a public-private partnership is to achieve the joint realization of a project based on a division of responsibilities and risks between the participating public and private entities. The PPP concept is currently favoured by the public sector, given the shortage of funds in public budgets and the corresponding need to seek alternative resources to realize projects. For the private sector, the PPP mechanism opens the door to new business opportunities. It is a form of cooperation with enormous potential and opportunities.
Selected projects:
- Advising on the Public Procurement Act in connection with a Client investment involving the construction of a bio-power station, including preparation and verification of the tender documentation
- Organising an unlimited tender in accordance with the Public Procurement Act for the construction of a bio-gas power station (preparing the tender documentation, draft contract, publication of announcement, etc.) and providing ongoing legal advice as regards various issues concerning the progress of this tender
- Advising a Client who was participating in proceedings to award a contract for the delivery of oil; preparing and verifying the bid and tender documentation
- Advising win farms on various legal issues concerning state aid from EU funds
- Advising an international supplier of drilling services on various aspects of the Public Procurement Act (ongoing)
- Preparing legal opinions on the application of public procurement regulations
