Angel Densetsu (エンジェル伝説 Enjeru Densetsu, Legend of Angel) is a shonen manga created by Norihiro Yagi. Serialized in Monthly Shonen Jump from 1992 to 2000, in total 15 volumes.
Angel Densetsu is a story about Seiichirou Kitano, a kind and naive boy with the heart of an angel, but the sinister looks of a devil. This causes many misunderstandings, leading people to assume that he is a villain or heroin addict, and results in a career as the head thug, or "school guardian" at his new school.
List of Characters
- Seiichirō Kitano (北野誠一郎 )
- The main protagonist, a boy whose face inspires terror and despair in other people's hearts, but whose true nature is that of a kind-hearted boy. His gentle and caring actions mostly frighten those around him, and while he's used to getting hit for no apparent reason at all (except for his terrifying features), he somehow had developed speed and reflexes which allow him to absorb the power of the blows. He is also observed of having the will to remain standing despite injuries (whether cosmetic or real).
- Although he has no martial arts skill at all and doesn't like violence, he would often jump into 'situations' (Read: fights) head on, either to protect someone or to break the fight. Of course, coming headlong into fights while screaming incoherently (a trait that was also seen in Kitano's father that happens when both are in a state of panic), 'armed' with his already-mentioned scary countenance only serve to confuse the ones he face, and more importantly to serve the rumors of him being a delinquent, especially when the usual circumstances made that he is the only remaining person standing.
- Aside from his speed, reflex, and his stubborn will, Kitano also occasionally uses a special finishing move, a double-palmed push. It is, literally, just a push. Fortunately, or unfortunately, it also bears behind it the whole of Kitano Seiichiro's will. It has been observed repeatedly of having the capability of lifting the victims off their feet and sending them soaring several feet away. This finishing move is instinctual, and mostly used when Kitano is trying to protect someone.
- Characteristically of the series, the angel-hearted Kitano would misunderstand the actions of the people he faces (or forced to face), never even thinking ill of them, while the reverse is almost certainly true. This is the running gag that serves as the centre of which the story revolve around.
- Seikichi Kuroda (黒田清吉 )
- The former "guardian" of Hekikuu high. He's been a slave to the previous guardian for most of his high school life, and he thought he could enjoy being the guardian in his last year of school, but he is forced to resign soon after meeting Kitano. He's the most delinquent-like of the group, skipping lessons to smoke and provoking fights. Although he usually gets beaten up by others (Koiso Ryoko, Takehisa, other delinquents), he isn't physically weak – he is big and has a strong punch. The fact he is constantly defeated lies in his mind – he is easily scared and has tendency to panic. He is also simple-minded enough to be manipulated.
- Kuroda desperately tries to reserve a leftovers of his dignity by acting like a guardian before Ogisu and his sempais. Also he has one-sided crush on Ryoko.
- Ooshita and Tokiyama are his two lackeys/friends. Both of them have rarely been referred to by their actual names. Koide, the class president's assistant calls it a "miracle" that he was able to obtain their full names. As the story progresses, they realize Kuroda's weakness (and strengths, rarely good, though), but they kept on being loyal to him.
- Another piece of trivia from the author himself, Kuroda serves as a pivotal character at the very start of the series, when the author experienced a writer's block.
- Ryoko Koiso (小磯良子)
- The daughter of the Koiso-style kobujutsu karate master, initially set on fighting each and every high school delinquent, and convinced that Kitano is evil and very strong. After fighting him, however, she discovers his true nature, and little by little she becomes his girlfriend
- In the story, she is considered very strong, having only beaten by sneak attacks or accidents. Both her and Shirataki Ikuno is observed of having the same personality traits.
- Ikuko Hirayama (平山郁子)
- Koiso's best friend, and the only "normal" friend of Kitano. She's very sensitive, and she's the only one to openly notice how much being friends with Kitano has changed Koiso and Shirataki.
- Her name has come to one of the series' running gags, with Kuroda repeatedly calling her Koiso Ryoko's Friend #A(However, this is rendered in a fan translation and may not actually be the literal phrase). Her first name is first used about one-fourth into the story, and her family is not revealed until the very end of the series. The author had even thrown a contest to let the readers guess the family name (only one reader has correctly guessed what her surname is).
- Yuji Takehisa (竹久優二)
- The strongest delinquent of Hekikuu high, previously suspended for beating up one of the teachers: after being defeated by Kitano, he proclaims himself his "little brother". He sports spiked bleached hair and has no eyebrows.
- After claiming loyalty to Kitano, he becomes less delinquent-like. He doesn't get into a lot of fight anymore (although he doesn't lose any of his fighting skill), nor does he skip classes, staying calm most of the time. His old, hot-blooded self, comes to the surface when someone tries to harm Kitano or himself.
- At the end of the series, when confronted with the fact of Kitano being 'normal' -Takehisa's old comrades had come and asked him to join up in order to beat up Kitano- he proclaimed that whether or not Kitano is a delinquent, he is still Takehisa's best friend. He then proceeded to beat up his old comrades with a smile on his face.
- Ikuno Shirataki (白滝幾奶)
- The beautiful daughter of one of the special guidance counsellor and heir of his seat, her mission was to beat up Kitano, but after being defeated by Koiso, she becomes a part of their group. It is the very first time for her to be able to talk to people normally without anyone fearing her, even after her first days of school at Hekikuu High, when she knocked out a lot of male students. At first she is cold and uncaring, which is strictly true, but after knowing Kitano, and his gang, she gradually became softer and accepting. That doesn't mean she isn't ready to fight everyone or anyone at any time. She is still interested in fighting -and later actually ends up fighting- Kitano because of his abilities. She says once Kitano and Ryoko get married, she'll be his lover.
- She also bears a striking resemblance to Clare, the protagonist of Claymore (manga) in both personality and physical appearance.
- Takashi Ogisu (荻須高志)
- Dyes his hair bright red and calls himself "the fighting master". Previously unbeaten, he is defeated repeatedly on the very day he steps in Hekikuu high, a serious blow to his self-confidence. When Ogisu first meets Kitano, Kitano mistakes his red hair for blood and runs toward him, so he ends up scared and running away. He's sure that Kuroda is Hekikuu's guardian, and that Kitano is the number 2, and Kuroda told him that he could fight him only after he beat Kitano; although Koiso makes him think that he defeated Kitano once, in the end he gets beaten up once again. After meeting Shirataki, he gets beaten up by her several times; then, out of humility, he decides to learn the secrets of the Koiso-style kobujutsu and joins the Koiso dojo. At the end of the series, he realizes that he was still a powerful fighter, but was simply overshadowed by Kitano's invincible forces.
- In the end, he's the only one to respect Kuroda, and Kuroda uses him as his subordinate, hoping to use his strength to protect him whenever he's in trouble.

Domestic Violence Shelter
What is domestic violence?
Domestic violence affects men and women of any ethnic group, race, or religion; gay or straight; rich or poor; teen, adult, or elderly. But most of its victims are women. In fact, 1 out of 4 women will be a victim at some point.
The abuser may use fear, bullying, and threats to gain power and control over the other person. He or she may act jealous, controlling, or possessive. These early signs of abuse may happen soon after the start of the relationship and might be hard to notice at first.
After the relationship becomes more serious, the abuse may get worse.
Abuse is also common in teens who are dating. It often happens through controlling behaviors and jealousy.
What should you do if you're being abused? We Can Help
You have a right to be safe! If you need us, we're here.
24-Hour Domestic Violence Hotline • 866-367-9922
Here are some other things you can do:
Your plan might include:
What should you do if you know someone who is being abused?
Keep in mind that the person may not want to leave. He or she often knows the abuser best and knows what options are safest. But it is important for victims of abuse to know where they can get help.
Why do victims stay?
What are the harmful effects of domestic violence?
People who suffer from abuse can be badly hurt. They are also likely to have long-lasting (chronic) health problems, such as depression, headaches, and post-traumatic stress disorder. This is because of the repeated injuries and stress from living with abuse.
Abuse can happen more often and get worse when women are pregnant. It is dangerous for both the mother and the baby. It can raise the baby's risk of low birth weight, premature birth, and death. The pregnant woman is at higher risk of other problems, such as infections and bleeding.
And abuse has a big effect on children. Children who live in a home where abuse happens see violence as a normal way of life. It also raises their chance of being in a violent relationship as adults, either as abusers or as victims. Teens are at a greater risk for depression, drug and alcohol use, and bad behavior.
Domestic Violence Shelter
YW staff counsel victims involved in domestic violence court hearings who are referred by judges and participates in ride-alongs with the Evansville Police Department to follow up on domestic violence runs. Staff meets regularly with the Prosecutor's Office to discuss disposition and follow-up of domestic violence cases. We have collaborative agreements with the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation for tutoring, with 4C's and the Youth Service Bureau for parenting groups, and with ECHO Health Clinic for on-site services. In cooperation with Southwestern Indiana Behavioral Care, whose counselors work with court-ordered abusers, the YWCA provides support groups for their partners and children in the Batterer's Intervention Program. We serve as a local resource for professionals, groups, and individuals by informing the community about domestic violence and providing training
Funding for this program is provided by ESG funds through the City of Evansville, Department of Metropolitan Development

Every time when my semester results are out, i was one among all those distinction holders. I named it the D club where D stands for distinction.Recently i had written my 3-1 exams and yeah i worked like i never did before for these exams. Before 3-1, my preparation methodology was entirely different. I used to study each and every day , but the day before the exam im glued to my TV watching cricket matches.
However i took an oath not to watch cricket before exams and started reading well. It was the same priciple applied to perfection while i was taking my 3-1 exams.Everything went on well.For the first time when i finished my exams i was very confident and felt good about myself. I didnt feel like praying to GOD any more because i took it for granted that my result would be fair enough.
I was very cool and acted as if i screwed my exams and the same was displayed as a caption in various social networking sites and as a news feed on FB and Twitter.
Finally on 7th January,results were out and im shocked that i missed distinction by 4 marks,while one of my friends made it there.So there goes my percentage -- 69.5. How do u feel when u get so close and miss hitting the target? Unfortunately many of my class mates who were known for their academic excellence couldnt make it there as well. So i said to my self a very famous line "AALL IZZ WELL" and there goes my caption.
Important thing is that my marks were sound in all the subjects where my performance was not to the best of my abilities. But two subject score's were dissappointing. Yeah man this is what happens with JNTU.I finally felt that i should go for revaluation kind of thing. And i told the same to all my friends.
But when i downloaded a pdf from the net about the revaluation details,i felt that the following details were worth noting. Here they go:
Item Fee per subject Applicable to
Recounting - Rs.100/- All courses
Revaluation - Rs.500/- All UG courses except B.Tech.
Challenge valuation- Rs.10,000/- Only for B.Tech.
10000 bucks for challenge valuation?? I dont know whos proposal this is, but i felt this is really ridiculous.Definitely it brings a lot of profit for the university.All my dreams were shattered after looking at this. 10000 bucks for a paper is really insane. So i finally decided to go for recounting which seemed to be economical for me(lol).At the end of the day i felt like making a statement saying -- JNTU and its script valuation SUCKS big time.

Dillon Consulting has been recognized with a 2014 Ontario Public Works Association Project of the Year Award in the Transportation ($2 - $10M) Category for the Hannon Creek Realignment and Dartnall Road Extension project for the City of Hamilton.
The project was recognized for how a transportation project with the potential for a negative impact on the environment could result in an enhanced environment for aquatic and terrestrial habitat while still addressing transportation needs. The success of the project rested with having a multidiscipline, dedicated and talented team of Dillon staff focused on meeting our client's needs.
This project was completed in two parts - the Dartnall Road extension and widening, and the Hannon Creek realignment.
Dartnall Road was a two-lane rural road ending south of Rymal Road which needed to be extended to provide arterial access into the City of Hamilton Red Hill Business Park. As part of the road widening to four- and five-lane sections, a new watermain, street lighting and sidewalks were constructed.
Hannon Creek traverses the new Dartnall Road corridor and realignment of this creek which included floodplain and new culvert construction was required to facilitate the extension of Dartnall Road.
Detailed design, ecological studies, assistance for the acquisition of lands for the road improvements, creek realignment and floodplain construction, as well as technical assistance during construction was provided.

It isn't every day that you get your opinion validated by the likes of Jeremy Siegel, the "Wharton wizard," market commentator and senior investment strategy advisor for Wisdomtree ETFs.
Siegel delivered a very bullish talk at Sourcemedia's ETF 360 conference in New York. "Stocks have never been so much cheaper relative to bonds," he said. "The 'New Normal' pushed by PIMCO's Bill Gross is not new and it's not normal." That's because that kind of negative view is based on Keynesian thinking, which is a poor predictor. For example, looking at the aggregated economic data failed to predict the post World War II boom.
The primary driver of long-term economic growth is productivity growth and not aggregate demand, he said, showing charts that demonstrated an upward trajectory for quarterly productivity. Productivity comes from innovation and discovery, Siegel told a crowd of about 150 advisors and ETF producers at the Helmsley Hotel.
"History shows that the rate of discovery is influenced by the number of individuals engaged in common research," he said.
With the internet, several billion people can communicate at once leading to an explosion of research and ideas, which will underly further productivity growth. That will increase disposable income and the availability of products, which in turn will increase demand.
Siegel displayed numerous charts showing that the long-term trend for stocks is upward. From January 1802 to June 2010, stocks have had a real return of 6.6%, he said, compared with 3.6% for bonds, 2.8% for Treasuries and 0.6 for gold. And over a 20-year holding period, an investor would have fewer losses with stocks than with bonds. This doesn't just apply to U.S. stocks, but international equities as well. "In every country in the world over time, stocks beat bonds, showing that the equity premium is extremely robust," he said.
"Ten-year nominal bonds today are returning 2.5%, that minus inflation equals zero return," he said. "That's crazy. The bond bubble is gonna burst." (He pointed out that 10-year TIPs are returning no more than 40 basis points.)
Valuations on stocks on the other hand are tantalizing both at home and abroad, he said. Estimated earnings for 2011 for the S&P 500 are $93.96 at a price to earnings ratio of 12.44, which is 20% below its mean of 15, and 45% below its mean of 18, when interest rates are low. The quality of earnings for the four quarters of reported earnings was high, running at 91.7% ofoperating earnings versus the long-term average of 84%. "The average return when you're investing below the average p/e is 11%," he said. Emerging market stocks are even cheaper, at 10.6 times earnings for the 10 Largest High Dividend Emerging Market Stocks. "If you can pick emerging markets up for under 20, these are very cheap markets," he said.
"You did miss the bottom if you didn't invest before last March, but "I don't think it's over," he said. "In the long run, the pessimists have always been wrong."

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) motion to delay issuing a draft rule required by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). After FDA failed to meet deadlines mandated by Congress, Center for Food Safety sued the agency. Ruling in favor of CFS, the court re-established deadlines for FSMA's rules, starting with all the drafts being issued by Nov. 30, 2013.
FDA has appealed the decision and then sought a stay of the injunction pending the outcome of their appeals. The Ninth Circuit rejected FDA's appeal for an extension but granted the agency an additional 16 days to make up for time lost due to the government shutdown.
FDA said Nov. 4 it will soon announce a 60-day extension of the comment period on proposed rules for Foreign Supplier Verification Programs for Importers of Food for Humans and Animals and Accreditation of Third-Party Auditors/Certification bodies to Conduct Food Safety Audits to Issue Certifications. The current comment period for both proposed rules is scheduled to end Nov. 26, 2013. The move was requested by those in the feed industry to allow for the latest rule on animal feed to be considered in conjunction with the previously announced rules.
The proposed rules for Current Good Manufacturing Practice and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food and Standards for the Growing, Harvesting, Packing, and Holding of Produce for Human Consumption were extended 60 days until Nov. 15, 2013.

Moral education in boarding schools is the topic of this publication which includes summaries of the proceedings of the Bicentennial Summer Institute sponsored by Phillips Exeter Academy in June 1978. Interspersed throughout are passages from a journal kept by a participant in the Institute. The contextual and didactic approaches to moral education are discussed. The relation of moral judgment to action is examined by a discussion of a well-known study done by Haan, Smith, and Block (1968) at the University of California at Berkeley. Another topic addressed is the moral atmosphere of a school and matters of governance. A summary of Lawrence Kohlberg's presentation about stages of moral development is presented. Descriptions of moral education programs which have been successfully implemented in boarding schools are presented. (Author/RM)

|End Date
|Public Wolf Howls
|August 2, 2018
|August 30, 2018

Every Thursday in August, conditions permitting, join us for a famous Algonquin Provincial Park Public Wolf Howl. After a slide talk on wolf ecology, participants receive special instructions, and we then travel by car (on rare occasions, walk) to a place where wild wolves may answer the imitations given by the naturalist staff. This event is held only if weather and accessible wolves permit. The final decision to hold a Public Wolf Howl is determined the morning of the event based upon the weather and scouting by the naturalist staff on the previous days.
Check https://twitter.com/Algonquin_PP on the day of a projected Wolf Howl for confirmation. If you are in the Park the day of a potential howl, check Park bulletin boards for confirmation. If you are coming to a Public Wolf Howl, ensure you have a Park permit, arrive early, make sure your car is filled with gas, and dress warmly for this special program, which lasts about three hours. No dogs are allowed at the presentation or howl location as they can disturb the experience. If a Wolf Howl is not held, the following Evening Program will be held instead – The Wolves of Algonquin - Join a Park Naturalist to learn about the intimate world of wolves and how humans have helped shape their destiny here in Algonquin and everywhere else. Potential Public Wolf Howls take place only on Thursdays in August, or Thursdays in September before Labour Day, when weather and accessible wolves permit.

Decapod Crustaceans from the Maastrichtian Fox Hills Formation
Publication Title
Bulletin of the Peabody Museum of Natural History
Publication Date
Document Type
Systematic paleontology, new species, taphonomy, cuticle microstructure, Callichirus, Hoploparia, Latheticocarcinus, Raninella, pereiopods
Earth Sciences | Geology | Paleontology
Examination of all known specimens of decapod crustaceans from the Fox Hills Formation has resulted in recognition of five species and three distinctly different forms of pereiopods that cannot be assigned to a recognized taxon with certainty. Callichirus waagein. sp. is proposed for a callianassid claw preserved within anOphiomorpha burrow. Hoploparia sp. and Raninella oaheensisBishop, 1978, are reported from the formation for the first time, and the cheliped of the latter species is noted, also for the first time.Latheticocarcinus shapiroi Bishop, 1988, the most common species of decapod in the formation, is re-described; the lateral flanks of this homolid crab are recognized for the first time, and the carapace is reconstructed. Necrocarcinus siouxensis Feldmann, Awotua and Welshenbaugh, 1976, is noted, but no new specimens were studied. All the decapods were preserved within concretions and all but one specimen of Hoploparia were disarticulated elements, suggesting that they may have been molted remains. Cuticle was well preserved and thin section examination of the lamellar structure of Hoploparia cuticle confirmed that, although thoroughly altered chemically, details of lamellar structure are retained.

Hex Kit comes with some old school tiles, and I made this map while I was making sure they worked. These classic tiles come with coasts and stuff just like the new school tiles, but they are much more in the style of the oldest of hex maps: black & white, centered icons, etc. They're still hand drawn with my own mits though. Classic black & white tiles are the tiles that come bundled with the app, out of the gate. Click here to get the map and have fun, just don't use it commercially.

Ed Greenwood / 2015 Commissions
i illustrated maps for someone i consider legendary.
Eventually I will get into how 2015 was and what I will be doing in 2016, but first I would like to talk about some maps I illustrated for an adventure written by his majesty Mr. Ed Greenwood. What that means is my main man Schwalberto, as part of his kickstarter campaign, decided to throw some number of heavy pennies per word at Greenwood to write an adventure for the Shadow of the Demon Lord game. My understanding is that Greenwood once licked Schwalb at some convention and now they are effectively blood brothers or something.
Before I get into the adventure and show off some maps, I'd like to talk about the Forgotten Realms. The realms are a terrible place to game these days; your characters are likely to just occupy space in the area and not actually have any effect on the world. This isn't really Greenwood's fault so much as the realms have been such an important place at the table top since the early 80s that everything has been done. It is hard to feel like you're in the world because the realms have been beaten to death, boiled like tapioca pearls to rehydrate, and then beaten again. I know that there isn't a whole lot of love for the realms in the OSR world because it is too much, there is little left to the imagination. I don't want to play in the realms because I want to play in uncharted territory (Greenwood if you read this, its me its not you). That being said, I love a few Forgotten Realms things: the infinity engine games, Neverwinter Nights, the Avatar trilogy of books, and Calimshan. As Greenwood is responsible for inspiring these arts & crafts, I tip my hat to him. It was a cool thing I got to do, make these maps. Here is a room down sampled to look like shit on your screen, and watermarked.
Die Drop Table Is A Map Is A Die Drop Table
An "Encounter" Area
This was kind of an exercise in scale. I wanted to do an up close area and see how it turned out. I really like how it did come out, and likely this is the last map I will digitally trace, from here on out these will all be the original hand drawn maps with minimal edits. The problem is that a little bit of detail is lost when I start to mess with it in Inkscape. For instance, those trees lose a smidge of depth in the process. From here on out I will also be adding grids onto most of the maps. Anyways, until next time….

About Teach English In China
Here at Teach English In China we all have two things in common; a passion for discovering China's rich culture and a desire to help others experience it for themselves. Since 2005, we have been doing just that, organising teaching placements for over 1,000 people.
We believe living and working in China is a valuable experience that everyone should get the chance to do for a period of time that best suits them. That's why we have teamed up with schools and organisations across China to provide a variety of programme options, meaning that whether you are a graduate, a student or have just completed your A-levels, you have the chance to discover this fascinating country through the eyes of a local without needing teaching experience or knowledge of Mandarin.
As a team of ex-foreign teachers, we have first-hand knowledge of living and working in China, which we use to deliver a high-quality service to candidates. We offer training, help with lesson planning and the chance to meet other participants before you go to China. Most of our teachers have no prior teaching experience, and our programmes are designed to ensure they leave feeling confident, prepared and supported.
We attach great importance to supporting our teachers before, during and after their placements and giving them the opportunity to develop their skills and career beyond the placement.
Programme Options
- Paid Teaching Placement: Open to final year students and graduates of any degree discipline, this programme is designed to give applicants an insight into living and teaching in China. We provide all applicants with a 120-hour TEFL course and a 2-week teacher training camp as part of the programme, meaning that no prior teaching experience or knowledge of Mandarin is necessary. With a salary of between £570-1600 per month, long national holidays and free accommodation, this is a great option for anyone looking to gain exciting international experience whilst getting paid!
- Summer Internship: Students and graduates of any degree subject have the chance to take part in one of our three Summer Internship teaching placements, which last between 2-7 weeks. Summer Interns are responsible for teaching fun and engaging lessons to students aged between 7-15 according to a full-time schedule. Interns receive £140 per month, as well as free food and accommodation. This is a great way to gain teaching experience and an insight into life in China during the university summer break!
- Homestay Programme: Open to anyone over the age of 18 who has completed A-levels or equivalent, our Homestay Programme gives applicants a unique insight into life within a Chinese family home for a period of 1, 2 or 3 months over the summer or winter vacation. Tutoring for 15 hours per week in exchange for food and accommodation, and a stipend of £100 per month. Participants can expect to gain valuable English teaching experience whilst learning about Chinese culture and language.

If I told you every CIO I've spoken with or listened to at a conference this year was under pressure to deliver mobility applications for their enterprise, that would probably be an overstatement.
It's more like three out of four.
Seriously, if user enablement was always high on IT's radar of things to pursue, it's users who are now setting the agenda. For IT, "Build it and they will come," is now "Make stuff useful and they will use it." Screw it up, and your users will increasingly abandon you.
If IT really wants to be in the good graces of the bosses, even for the most selfish reasons, hit them where they live experientially. Nothing looks more out of step than an old html view of your website or app or intranet where you stretch the pane on your smartphone and aim your pinkie at a tiny hyperlink. People return to good experiences, not to bad ones (unless they have to, which only sinks IT's reputation further).
These days, app developers develop directly for mobility platforms and might think later whether to port things to PCs, not the other way around. Please, IT, don't let your Web facing efforts overlook fit, form and function of apps. Go mobility first, even if you don't get your own work done there. (Hint: The API developers I know are becoming very popular and sought out folks by thinking this way.)
Earlier today some of the folks at Gartner dropped a list of mistakes that lead to mobile customer service failure.
Among them:
- No more than three key strokes (or screen taps) to get to required functionality.
- Account for clunky text entry and simplify for each device.
- Don't reuse learned behaviors like autocomplete in desktop apps.
There are more obvious things Gartner's list, like making the app fit the display, making sure things are actually readable and having a scroll as well as a back button so one can correct
as well as erase text.
Heed their warning or prepare to see this list waggled in your face by your user community.
Let me add, as a writer, the first thing that doesn't go well on iPhones and tablets is extended text entry so make a voice app work, have smarter menus or build apps fit for data entry via scanning and QR codes. Build things that use things that mobile does well, like field reference materials, visualizations, alerting, location, payments and uploading images.
Now as for making things useful, I never thought I could appreciate what I've always seen as my company's necessary but evil travel and expense reporting system. I found myself using it late at night after hours because it took too long to use it during the day. It was a mess of data field entry, itemizing, receipt scanning, uploading and even printing and faxing.
But in a blaze of utilitarianism, my T&E service now lets my iPhone import travel details, automatically itemize hotel bills and take crisp snapshots of almost unreadable receipts to prove my billables. I can get most of the work entered as it happens.
I call that productivity to help me do my job more easily. Bravo, Concur! Now if we could just do the same for our sales and conference and other traveling teams.
I could go on and on, but my point is, you will probably win as many friends and admirers with your mobile usability and presentation as you will with your functionality. Our friends at the Guess? fashion design shops will testify to that. As Billy Crystal once said when impersonating Fernando Lamas, "It is better to look good than it is to feel good."
Feel free to share your thoughts on the push to enterprise mobility in a comment below, but not on info-mgmt.com's mobile app because, ahem, it doesn't allow that for now.
I'll be visiting our Web team momentarily.

Past Fieldtrips
JUNE Fieldtrip
The June field trip was a guided tour of downtown Tulsa. Claude Bolze, geologist and professor at Tulsa Community College, will guide us through the historical buildings of our Tulsa skyline. Who knew downtown was a fantastic sampling of geological wonders! From Jurassic aged white marble and Ordovician Chocolate Marble, to fossiliferous limestone, travertine, and Morton Gneiss, take a trip through geological time with TRMS.
We will pass several good restaurants along the tour that should make us very hungry. Lunch after may indeed be in order so bring some $$! The tour started in parking lot #6 (NW corner of 9th and Boston) of the Metro Campus of Tulsa Community College at 8:30 AM Saturday, June 30th.
No collecting on the tour please, security guards get nervous when you approach their buildings with rock hammers!
MAY Fieldtrip
Our field trip to the Ladonia Fossil park yielded many fun finds. Fossilized clam shells (devils toe nails) and shark's teeth were the popular finds of the day. We were able to explore the main Ladonia Fossil Park and a second site further south on the Sulphur River that was difficult to get into, but well worth the finds. In attendance, Peter Grice, Holly and Adam Proctor, Amy, James and Jon Puls, and Hans and Rose Kircsh. Thank you to all for braving the heat, bugs, overgrown paths and quick sand! EEEK!
Our next field trip...
We had a great trip in February to the Museum of Osteology. We had a class on learning how to identify animal skulls and bones by looking at their specific features. As we hunt the rivers and streams of Oklahoma, we now have the tools to identify some of the many bones that we may encounter.
For April we are not going to have a specific field trip as every weekend has a local or regional show. Support other Rock and Mineral Societies by taking a trip to see some of our fellow clubs!
Our fieldtrip to The Great Salt Plains Saturday, April 15 was a success. The weather was cool and overcast, but not too cold. The wind blew, but not too strong so that we couldn't find some beautiful and unique crystals for our collections. Every rock is a memory and we made lots of them on this trip. Thanks to all who attended.
Past field trips for 2017
Arkansas's Crater of Diamonds State Park is the only diamond-producing site in the world where the public can search for diamonds. And the policy here is "finders, keepers," meaning the diamonds you find are yours to keep.
To hunt for diamonds you will search atop a 37 1/2-acre plowed field, the eroded surface of an ancient, gem-bearing volcanic crater. You will access this field through the Diamond Discovery Center, an engaging interpretive center featuring exhibits and an A/V program explaining the three most popular methods of searching for diamonds. The park staff provides free identification and certification of diamonds found here.
Pets are allowed in all park facilities, with the exception of the park gift shop, Diamond Springs Water Park, and Kimberlite Cafe, as long as they remain on a leash under the owner's control at all times.
The diamond-bearing soil in the diamond search area is plowed periodically when weather allows to help bring more diamonds to the surface. Plowing is unscheduled but generally takes place once a month during spring, summer, and fall. Historical structures, old mining equipment, washing pavilions, and sun shelters are located on the field. Diamond mining tools are available for rent or purchase at the park.
Fees to search for Diamonds
Adults -
Children (ages 6-12)
Children under 6 years old
Admission is good for the entire day. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, tickets purchased after 6 p.m. are also good for admission the following day.
Organized groups of 15 or more may receive half price admission
by reserving a date of visit with park staff at least 24 hours in advance. NOTE: Organized groups do not include large family groups.


text: "Pass The Dust, I Think I'm Bowie." was the only full-length put out on the short-lived but highly influential Dangerhouse Records in late '79 and is full of short, sharp, funky revue style tunes with some avant touches here and there, with Black Randy reminiscent of a punk rock David Peel. Black Randy is one of the lost voiced of the punk revolution. This LP has been out of print for years. LP includes digital download of album and seven additional tracks.

CONGRATULATIONS on Mildred Williams' article titled ''Black drownings: A lethal legacy.'' It was noted that for one reason or another many blacks never learn to swim.
Because water is such a prominent part of the Florida geography, the ability to swim is a basic lifesaving skill comparable to knowing CPR. There are, however, some basic cultural/historical problems with black people learning how to swim that the article did not highlight.


text: So often I see and hear that "Big Oil" is responsible for the high oil prices, or that Big Oil has a monopoly on the principle type of energy we use and on the sources of this energy. My experience as an international explorer for oil, suggests that it is not the oil companies, such as Shell, BP, Exxon et al, but the National Oil Companies, and Nations which are the resource holders who are in control of this resource now. Furthermore, the multinational oil companies are losing control of their destiny as they loose access to the areas they need to explore for oil and gas. In many cases the loss of access is political such as in the United States and Venezuela where national policy has excluded the multinationals from exploring. Or it is economic such as in Nigeria where Chinese and Indian oil companies are acquiring exploration licenses. In Nigeria, the national oil companies of Asia are acquiring access rights not based on the net present value or other fundamental economic measures of merit but to ensure their national economies have access to these important natural resources. By contrast the multinationals have failed to compete for these opportunities not based on the geologic potential to find giant oil fields but because the contracts established by the resource holders are uneconomic for "Big Oil" even at $ 100 per barrel prices. Any reasonable person then should see: 1. The idea of "Big Oil" as an omnipotent Industry is fallacious 2. The masters of the economies of Asia do not see any near term potential to replace oil. These builders of the new economies clearly do not believe in wind, solar or other non-competitive green energy schemes

Q: What do you mean by "inclusive"?
A: We mean that all are welcome to participate in our life together as a community. We do not believe race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or religious background are an obstacle to following Jesus in our time and place, nor are they an obstacle to participation in our activities.
Q: What if I have beliefs that differ from yours or others in the community?
A: You are welcome at any point on your spiritual journey. While we believe that our tradition is life-giving and transformative, we expect that for most people belonging comes before believing. A central teaching of the branch of the Christian tradition that our club belongs to holds that before we could ever know or believe in God, God knows us and loves us no matter who we are or where we are at.
Not only that, but we value diversity in conversation and believe that all perspectives have something to contribute. They may even be the most important to listen to. We hope you find a sense of belonging with us, no matter where you might be at in your faith (or lack thereof).
Q: Do I have to be a Christian to be a member of the club or attend any of the events or meals?
A: No. Food & Faith is Christian in orientation and our conversations are guided and enriched by our tradition. One such element of that tradition is informed by Jesus words to "love your neighbor as yourself." As such, we seek to be good neighbors by valuing the practice of hospitality and welcoming. While we are committed to the Christian story, we welcome people of all religious traditions (or no religious tradition) to participate in mutually respectful conversation as a community.
Q: What is your perspective on the Bible?
It is foundational as the central guiding story of our faith and life together as a community. Though foundational, it is interpreted alongside reason, tradition and experience. The Bible is a living word, not a fixed one, and must always be read with fresh eyes and a new perspective guided by the Spirit in the present day. We take the Bible seriously, not literally.
Q: Are you associated with a church or denomination?
A: Yes. We are associated with the United Church of Canada. The United Church is Canada's largest Protestant Christian denomination and a union of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregationalist churches in 1925.Though we are rooted in that tradition, the perspective of the club is more broadly Christian. Members of our club have varied in their background, Anglican, Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, Alliance Church, Presbyterian, and Non-Denominational. Often our club members have non-Christian religious backgrounds or no background at all.

Problems of heavy lifting pose worker injury risk
Skilled nursing providers long plagued by the perils of resident lifting may find the task even more burdensome in light of a growing bariatric population that requires specialized lifting and transport equipment, and more caregivers to assist in the process.
Sources agreed that if a provider hasn't yet been faced with a special needs bariatric resident, it likely will. Georgetown University's Center on an Aging Society reports that nearly 15 million Americans over age 51 are clinically obese – a factor that ups an individual's odds for developing life-threatening diseases, exacerbates arthritis and respiratory conditions, and makes it increasingly difficult to perform activities of daily living without assistance.
Aside from the growing need for rehabilitation and subacute care for bariatric patients, a nursing home may be the best care environment for acutely ill patients who are discharged from the hospital but require additional treatment prior to being sent home. Nursing facilities may also see an influx of bariatric surgery patients who require short-term post-operative care, such as wound management and nutritional therapy, or those who require stabilization prior to undergoing the procedure.
"Obesity isn't just someone else's problem. The healthcare community is seeing a greater number of bariatric patients, and that is having a direct impact on [long-term care] providers," said Karyn French, director of social services, Andover Village Retirement Community, Andover, OH. "If facilities aren't adequately equipped to accept these individuals, these people will have nowhere to go. We have people who travel for hours to get here because no one in their community is equipped to handle them."
Approximately 50 of Andover Village's 200 residents are admitted for obesity and weight loss issues. The facility has been providing bariatric care for nearly 10 years.
Vendors provide a lift
Providers committed to caring for bariatric residents say a greater availability of specialty equipment has made their jobs safer and easier. This can only be seen as good news.
Most injuries come from unsafe transferring and lifting of residents – of any size -- yet alone bariatric populations.
As a result, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has kept up pressure on long-term care providers to educate and train workforces in proper resident handling and transferring techniques. Equipment plays a role, too, particularly with obese residents.
When Edward J. Healey Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in West Palm Beach, FL, made the decision in 1996 to include bariatric residents as a specialized care group, its administrator found only one wheelchair vendor that could accommodate residents beyond 250 pounds. Bariatric lifts, commodes, showers, walkers, beds and scales were also difficult to find – so much so that the center had to either shore up existing equipment or commission a Canadian company to make and ship specialty items, according to Edward J. Healey's administrator, Barbara Landy.
Increased demand from the long-term care sector has helped drive much of the development. Apex Dynamics Healthcare Products, Dawsonville, GA, launched its bariatric product line in October after receiving a greater volume of inquiries on lifts that could accommodate very heavy residents.
"We've even had inquiries about lifts that can accommodate 1,000 pounds," 400 pounds above its current maximum lift capacity, said Keith Cumming, director of sales and marketing.
Others have also seen an increase in interest. Greg Gale, vice president of marketing for Arjo, Roselle, IL, said more providers are recognizing the dangers of lifting residents and are outfitting some rooms with ceiling lifts that can accommodate residents weighing 600 pounds or more.
He recommends two parallel-running ceiling tracks and twin cassettes that can hold up to 900 pounds and allow for power positioning.
Paying a hefty price
Make no mistake, speciality bariatric equipment can cost a bundle. Landy said a single bariatric wheelchair can cost as much as $10,000, and the price of specialty lifts and slings can cost up to twice as much as their standard counterparts. Add to that the expense of bariatric beds and commodes, which can run as much as fiv

SOUTH PORTLAND — The future weighs heavily on Scott Brown, co-owner and sixth-generation operator of Maine's oldest retail business, S.L. Wadsworth & Son, as he imagines the next steps for his 195-year-old family business.
But for one night, he got to celebrate and pay tribute to his family and predecessors.
S.L. Wadsworth in Eastport, the nation's oldest ship chandlery, Monday won the Institute for Family-Owned Business' Maddy Corson Award, which recognizes a superior family-owned businesses with fewer than 25 employees.
Including Brown's son, the business has had seven generations of family members stock the shelves and work the cash register of the hardware, general merchandise and gift shop.
"It's really hard for me to think about the future," Brown said. "It would be emotional for me to see it end."
S.L. Wadsworth was one of several family-owned businesses highlighted by the Institute for Family-Owned Business during Monday's awards ceremony at the Marriott at Sable Oaks, which drew about 300 people.
Other winners Monday included the Morong automotive dealership in Falmouth, which won the Leon Gorman Award for businesses with more than 25 employees; Industrial Roofing Cos. of Lewiston, which won a customer service award; Portland chocolatier Dean's Sweets, which captured the community service award; and Hurley Travel Experts of Portland, which got the First Generation Award.
Family-owned businesses represent about 80 percent of all businesses in Maine, yet less than 30 percent survive to the second generation and only 13 percent make it to the third generation, according to the institute.
Downeast Energy is one Maine family-owned business that recently changed hands to an outsider. Last month, Downeast, one of Maine's largest oil dealers, was sold to an Oklahoma company, ending three generations of ownership by the Morrell family of Brunswick.
Deborah Delp, president and a second-generation co-owner of Yankee Marina and Boatyard in Yarmouth, credited the institute for helping her family tackle issues big and small, from succession planning and corporate governance to simply setting boundaries when needed.
"Take a dysfunctional family and have a successful business and they can destroy that business. All families have their issues," Delp said.

We've just received this update from our OM team in Ukraine:
Ukraine Needs Your Prayers
– The conflict in Ukraine continues to grow in intensity and scale of destruction.
– The MH17 flight tragedy in Ukraine's eastern region has shocked the world.
– The conservative death toll figures from the conflict since mid-April is now over 2000 people and 6000 wounded. More than half of those in the last month. Recently about 60 have died every day.
– The number refugees or internally displaced persons (IDP) is over 330,000.
– In several large cities hundreds of thousands people are without basic necessities. Lugansk still has an estimated 250,000 living without running water, electricity, gas now for 3 weeks.
– Vital city services like water pumping stations, electrical substations and strategic factories etc. have been damaged or destroyed.
– Around 200 bridges have been blown up.
– There are hundreds being held captive.
OM with its ministry partners have been ministering in many different ways. Food and emergency Aid to and sheltering of Refugees, kids camps to IDPs, ministry to soldiers, gifts of Bibles, NT and literature.
– Over the last weeks we have helped finance those ministering bravely to evacuate hundreds of those trapped but wanting to flee the conflict zone. This continues to be a major need.
– There are no indications that the conflict will be over soon. We are preparing for ministry during winter. With an energy crisis expected to hit just a soon as the cold weather arrives, we need to change over from natural gas to an alternative heat source at at least three locations where OM teams are ministering. It is very likely to be a tough winter for Ukraine this year.
– for Peace.
– for evil in the midst of the conflict to be thwarted.
– for salvation for people's souls.
– physical protection.
– heating this winter.
– wisdom, Kingdom partnerships and resources.
Please pray for Ukraine.

All-On-4™ Implants
The All-On-4™ implant treatment is an excellent treatment option for patients who require most or all of their missing teeth to be replaced. This technique involves the placement of as few as 4 dental implants at appropriate mechanical inclinations to maximize fixed support for a full arch of teeth. It dramatically improves a patient's quality of life by avoiding the need for an uncomfortable denture.
All-On-4™ implants is a much improved treatment alternative to patients who have been stuck in the past with dentures due to finances or anatomical reasons. Traditionally, the placement of up to 8-10 implants per jaw was necessary to restore patients with a fixed bridge instead of a denture. To place this large number of implants, patients often had to have additional extensive bone grafting procedures which further added to the high cost of this treatment. With the All-On-4™ concept, the placement of 2 back implants at up to a 45° angulation along with conventional placement of usually 2 implants in the front provides enough support for a fixed bridge while avoiding the need for extensive bone grafting.
The Advantages of All-On-4™ Implant Bridges
- The All-On-4™ implant bridges are fixed in your mouth, functioning like natural teeth
- Because it is fixed in place, the All-On-4™ implant bridge avoids the inconvenient challenges and painful sores often associated with loose, ill-fitting dentures
- Unlike plastic conventional dentures, the All-On-4™ implant bridge has personalized aesthetics and is finished in ceramic to best mimic natural, lifelike dentition
- With support provided by implants, the upper All-On-4™ implant bridge does not cover your palate the way a denture does. This improves your speech, comfort, and ability to taste foods
- For many patients, the All-On-4™ concept can be completed in a single day
- When possible, we plan cases so failing teeth are removed, implants placed, and teeth inserted all in the same day
- For patients already wearing dentures, we often can place implants and insert teeth same day
- In many cases, patients can leave same day with their new teeth and smile so there is no downtime. Eat, socialize, talk as soon as your appointment is done
- Bone resorption is an unfortunate side effect following tooth loss. Many times, this loss of bone means that patients require bone grafting to be done to rebuild a site prior to implant placement
- Since the All-On-4™ procedure involves angulating implants to place them in positions where bone is available, it often helps patients avoid the need for additional surgeries and grafting procedures like sinus lifts
All-On-4™ Treatment Process
Older treatments to restore an entire jaw of missing teeth required multiple surgeries, bone grafting, upwards of 10 to 12 implants, and extended healing times of up to a year and half before a patient received their fixed teeth. That meant patients had to wear dentures for more than year during the treatment process.
With an All-On-4™ style treatment, we can offer candidates fixed teeth immediately following placement of as a few as 4 implants. The All-On-4™treatment process is as follows:
- STEP 1 – We offer Judgement-Free consultations to patients to discuss their treatment goals
- STEP 2 – If you choose to proceed, you will have 2 to 3 visits in our office meeting with our team of specialist to gather all the diagnostic information necessary to plan your All-On-4™ style treatment. We can also discuss sedation options if you are interested
- STEP 3 – THE BIG DAY! You will have an appointment to place your implants and fit your All-On-4™style bridge. Leave same-day smiling, talking, and functioning comfortably and with ease!
To ensure success, patients receiving All-On-4™ style treatment will need to return over the next several months for regular check-ups. Once their gums and implants have fully healed, usually 6 months later, a final mold is made of patient's mouth for fabrication of a stronger, permanent set of teeth that fit perfectly. Once wearing your final teeth, you will need to return for at least yearly visits to perform implant maintenance cleanings to ensure the long-term health of your All-On-4™ style treatment.
