I don't know if you have Frend in an applicator bottle, but I mixed a really strong solution of Roundup (glycophosphate or whatever it is called) and put it in one of those bottles , than hand wiped each leaf of Oxalis. Very rarely now does one appear, I suppose seeded from the neighbours. It took time and patience, but has paid off. As you say, digging it up was impossible. Was told by friends I would never get rid of it! Ina Auckland New Zealand Once it gets going , it is almost impossible to get rid of. It makes a tremendous amount of seed and it is nearly impossible to get all of them when you are tryng to dig up a clump to do away with!

Info concerning University of Detroit Mercy practical nurse jobs, registering in a technical training program, and taking tests for free online. You can enter nursing with either an associates degree or BSN. As a licensed vocational nurse (LVN), you may provide patient care under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN). If you study nursing, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you such as practical nurse jobs, laboratory internships, or vocational rehabilitation. Check with the nursing department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of practical nurse job requirements. Due to advances in health care, there is a growing skill-shortage of licensed practical nurses (LPN), and of qualified medical personnel in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for University of Detroit Mercy.
The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) designation is the first step in becoming a nurse. After Becoming a CNA, you will assist in caring for patients by monitoring vital statistics, bathing, feeding and maintaining personal hygiene. Most CNA programs can be completed within a few months, allowing you to begin working. As the public ages, nursing care has become a major source of employment for new technical program graduates.
The next step in a nursing career is to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN). This is a one year long program, in which you'll work under an RN, and be assigned advanced care work. Practice requirements for LPNs vary from state to state, but basic duties include passing meds, wound care, and administering feeding tubes. 1-year nursing certificate programs train students to pass the licensing test, in order to become an LPN or LVN. It is common for 90% or more of the class to find nursing jobs within 6 months. You don't have to become a registered nurse to make good money, as a licensed practical nurse with several years of work experience can earn well over $40,000 a year.

Moving from the Universal Sports channel to NBCSN (NBC Sports Network) will give the 2016 Boston Marathon the opportunity reach millions more viewers. NBCSN's marathon coverage beings at 8:30 am on Monday, April 18. The network plans 4-1/2 hours of coverage, signing off at 1 pm. Unlike most televised sports events, the Boston Marathon presents broadcasters with an opportunity to cover what's virtually three separate contests — with three unique storylines. There are the elite runners on the men's and women's sides. Then there is the arguably bigger story of the everyday people who run the famous race to challenge themselves — and not any world records. Some of these people will finish long after the broadcast signs off.
For the 2016 Boston Marathon the elite women runners start time is 9:32 am. The elite men begin at 10 am. The elites will finish, unlike our emotional favorites, long before the 1 pm broadcast does. Viewers who want watch on devices can download the NBC Sports Live Extra app for a livestream. The Boston Marathon livestream for browser watching can be seen at nbcsports.com/live-extra.

To clinically characterize a family with nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss linked to the DFNA25 gene and to assess whether mitochondrial mutations influence the penetrance of the phenotype.
Longitudinal clinical and basic science molecular genetic study.
Academic medical center and molecular genetic research laboratory.
Members of a family with dominant high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss.
Questionnaires, serial audiograms, and interviews correlated with molecular genetic data.
Main Outcome Measures
Symptoms, age at onset, serial audiometric data, and the presence or absence of 4 deafness-associated mitochondrial mutations.
Affected individuals typically manifest a high-frequency, slowly progressive sensorineural hearing loss in the postlingual period. The mode of inheritance is autosomal dominant with age-dependent penetrance. Male affected members tended to report an earlier onset of hearing loss than female members. In those inheriting the DFNA25-associated haplotype from an affected mother, hearing loss invariably developed by the second decade of life, whereas those inheriting the DFNA25 haplotype from an affected father often maintained hearing levels comparable to those of age-matched control subjects, even into the seventh decade of life. None of 4 deafness-associated mitochondrial mutations screened (1555A>G, 7445A>G, Cins7472, and 7511T>C) were found to segregate in the family.
It is difficult to differentiate delayed-onset high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss inherited as a simple mendelian trait like DFNA25-associated hearing loss from that due to noise exposure or presbycusis, disorders that may also have a genetic component. An awareness of the clinical presentation of such hearing loss may help clinicians identify hearing loss attributable to genetic causes and improve care for these patients.
TWO IN 1000 children are affected with significant hearing loss at birth or before they reach adulthood.1 Up until the 1970s, maternal rubella and other environmental factors such as ototoxic drugs caused a significant proportion of congenital hearing loss. With the introduction of universal immunization programs and improved perinatal health care, the proportion of congenital hearing impairment due to these factors has been greatly reduced. Today, at least 50% of congenital and early-onset deafness is genetic in origin.2 Genetic hearing loss can be further classified into (1) nonsyndromic hearing loss, which is generally sensorineural and is not associated with any other clinical manifestations, and (2) syndromic loss, which can be sensorineural or conductive and is associated with a wide variety of other abnormalities not confined to the ear.
In the past 10 years, progress in the Human Genome Project and the availability of mouse models of deafness and cochlear-specific complementary DNA libraries have resulted in a huge expansion in our understanding of genetic deafness. Hearing loss is a component of more than 400 syndromes, and, so far, more than 30 genes associated with syndromic hearing loss have been identified.3 To date, more than 70 loci have been reported for nonsyndromic deafness, including approximately 40 autosomal dominant, 30 autosomal recessive, and 8 X-linked, and approximately 30 genes have been cloned.4 Thus, many more genes associated with deafness await discovery.
In general, nonsyndromic hearing loss inherited as an autosomal recessive trait tends to be an early-onset or congenital profound sensorineural hearing loss, whereas autosomal dominant inheritance has a delayed onset and is progressive, ranging from mild to moderate or severe sensorineural loss.5 Mutations in GJB2, the gene that encodes the connexin 26 protein, are the most common cause of recessive deafness in the United States,6,7 and dominant low-frequency sensorineural hearing loss is most commonly caused by mutations in the Wolfram syndrome 1 gene.8,9 However, the genetic heterogeneity of nonsyndromic, high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss makes it difficult to identify the responsible gene or locus from the audiometric pattern alone.
In this report, we present the clinical findings in a large American family of Czech descent with autosomal dominant, nonsyndromic, high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss. Our group has previously mapped the DFNA25 gene segregating in this family by linkage analysis to chromosome 12q21-24.10 Herein we describe the age at onset, frequencies affected, penetrance, phenocopy rate, and progression with age of the hearing loss in affected family members. In addition, because DFNA25-associated hearing loss appeared to be more severe and to occur earlier when inherited from the mother rather than the father, we investigated whether mitochondrial modifier genes might influence the phenotype.
To date, 155 members of this family in 4 generations have been examined.10 This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and all participants gave informed consent. Family members completed questionnaires that assessed the age at onset of hearing loss, previous surgery or ear problems, noise exposure, and other risk factors for hearing loss. Clinical evaluation consisted of pure-tone audiometry, tympanometry, and otoacoustic emissions, when available. Previous audiograms were reviewed as available.
Audiometric data were obtained by means of field visits or standard testing in audiology offices in the subjects' communities. During the field visits, pure-tone thresholds were obtained using a Beltone 120 audiometer with ER3-A earphones and EAR link foam eartips (Beltone Electronics Corp, Chicago, Ill). Tasco T250 earmuffs (Texas American Safety Company, Brownwood, Tex) were positioned during air conduction testing. When air conduction thresholds were poorer than 20 dB hearing level (HL), bone conduction thresholds were obtained at 2000 and 4000 Hz, and tympanometry was performed. Children as young as 27 months underwent evaluation using play audiometry. Ambient noise levels were measured throughout the test sessions with a sound-level meter with model 4155 microphone and model 1625 octave band filter (Brüel & Kjaer, Naerum, Denmark). Noise levels were below the proposed American National Standards Institute standards for noise levels, allowing measurement of 0-dB HL air conduction thresholds with insert earphones and earmuffs.11 We recorded air conduction thresholds for 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 6000 Hz. For some patients, threshold data for 125 and 8000 Hz were available.
The proband (III:14, Figure 1) underwent additional testing at the University of Michigan, including auditory brainstem response, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions, immittance testing, vestibular evaluation, computed tomography of the temporal bone, and karyotype analysis. The vestibular evaluation included electronystagmography, caloric testing, rotational chair testing, dynamic posturography, and the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance.
Hearing thresholds obtained in subjects were compared with age- and sex-matched controls from an unselected population, including individuals with acquired hearing loss due to noise exposure or other causes.12 To differentiate hearing loss caused by DFNA25 from hearing loss caused by presbycusis, these standards were preferred to International Organization for Standardization 7029 standards, which were developed from otologically healthy populations.13 The reference ranges for frequencies from 500 to 6000 Hz were used and grouped by age in 5-year increments from 20 through 70 years of age. Children were divided into 3 groups based on age (6-9, 10-12, and 13-15 years) to facilitate comparison with published reference ranges.14 When the subject's age fell between 2 age categories, eg, between 20 and 25 years, normative data for the higher age were used.
Individuals were classified according to the number of abnormal air conduction thresholds summed from both ears in the 500- to 6000-Hz frequency range. A hearing threshold was considered abnormal if it was greater than the 90th percentile of corresponding age-matched data12 for an adult, or greater than 1 SD above the mean for the corresponding age-matched data for children.14 For purposes of linkage analysis, individuals with at least 4 abnormal hearing thresholds were classified as affected; 0 or 1 abnormal thresholds, within the reference range; and 2 or 3 abnormal thresholds, indeterminate.
The classification of the audiometric patterns of loss was adapted from those proposed by the European Work Group on Genetics of Hearing Impairment.15 High-frequency hearing loss was present when the average of the worst 2 thresholds at the higher frequencies was more than 15 dB greater than the average of the worst 2 thresholds at the lower frequencies. High-frequency losses that were 30 dB greater than lower-frequency thresholds were defined as steeply sloping, as opposed to gently sloping for high-frequency thresholds within 30 dB of the low-frequency thresholds. An audiometric profile was constructed from all available audiograms, including serial audiometric data as available, to determine whether there was any progression of the hearing loss with age.
Age at onset was determined by each person's recollection of the onset of hearing loss, or if uncertain, by the earliest age at which the person wore hearing aids. If anamnestic data were not available for a patient who did not use hearing aids, the age at which a hearing loss was first documented was used.
To investigate whether a mitochondrial mutation might explain why the DFNA25-associated hearing loss appeared more severe when inherited from the mother, we screened family DNA samples for 4 mitochondrial mutations implicated in nonsyndromic hearing loss. Three of the mutations (7445A>G,16 Cins7472,17 and 7511T>C18) are within the tRNASer (UCN) gene, whereas 1555A>G occurs within the 12SrRNA gene.19 Although Cins7472 has been reported only in families with sensorineural hearing loss, ataxia, and myoclonus, we included this mutation in our screen because the neurological manifestations may occur only rarely in some families with this mutation.20 Because siblings can be assumed to share the same mitochondrial DNA as their mothers, only selected DNA samples representative of the family were chosen for mitochondrial mutational screening. The DNA samples included those from individuals who inherited the DFNA25 haplotype by maternal or paternal transmission, unaffected individuals carrying the affected haplotype, unaffected family members lacking the affected haplotype, and control individuals from the Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain pedigrees.21
The DNA samples underwent screening for the mitochondrial mutations by means of restriction fragment length polymorphism assays. Assays were performed under conditions as previously described using HaeIII for 1555A>G,22XbaI for 7445A>G,23XcmI for Cins7472,17 and MboII for 7511T>C.18 To avoid false-positive results due to incomplete digestion, when possible, restriction enzymes were chosen for which the mutation would create rather than abolish a novel cleavage site. Primers were chosen to amplify fragments that contained a second cleavage site as an internal control. The Cins7472 mutation did not create or abolish a restriction site for a rare-cutting enzyme, and there was no cleavage site in the wild-type sequence that could be used as an internal control. Therefore, the XcmI restriction site was created by a substitution of 1 of the base pairs of the sense primer before amplification of the fragment as previously described.17 In addition, a second mitochondrial DNA fragment was amplified containing an XcmI site as an external control and assayed in parallel.
The mitochondrial DNA fragment flanking each mutation site was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and incubated with the relevant restriction enzyme. The products of the restriction digest for each mutation were resolved by electrophoresis on 1.5% agarose gels and visualized with ethidium bromide.
Twenty-four family members had high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss that met the criteria for affected status and unambiguously shared the haplotype common to other affected family members (Figure 1). Fifteen members had hearing losses that were steeply sloping (III:2, III:4, III:11, III:14, III:15, III:17, III:20, IV:1, IV:2, IV:7, IV:9, IV:13, IV:17, V:1, and V:2), and 8 had losses that were gently sloping (II:9, III:1, III:9, III:12, IV:3, IV:12, IV:15, and V:3). Representative audiograms of 2 affected individuals are shown in Figure 2A. Individual IV:5 had an atypical flat pattern of sensorineural loss. All family members who had inherited at least 50% of the disease haplotype from their mothers had hearing loss that met criteria for affected status.
Three family members (III:5, III:8, and III:19) had significant sensorineural hearing loss but did not carry the haplotype common to the affected members (Figure 2B). Because their hearing loss is most likely due to causes other than a mutation in the DFNA25 gene, they are defined as phenocopies. All 3 phenocopies were male and had a significant history of occupational noise exposure. Although all 3 met criteria for affected status, their low-frequency thresholds tended to be better than those of affected family members of similar age. None of the 3 phenocopies had affected children.
Six individuals who did not meet criteria for affected status shared at least part of the haplotype common to the affected members. Two of these haplotype carriers shared less than 50% (III:6 and IV:14), whereas 4 (III:7, IV:4, IV:11, and IV:18) shared 60% or more of the common haplotype (data not shown). Individuals III:6 and III:7 were older than 60 years when undergoing testing (audiograms shown in Figure 2C), whereas the other carriers ranged in age from 28 to 45 years when undergoing testing. All 6 carriers had inherited the haplotype common to the affected members from their affected fathers, in contrast to the complete penetrance observed in family members who inherited the disease haplotype from their mothers.
Determining the age at onset of hearing loss in this family was difficult because of the lack of audiologic data from early childhood and the length of time between suspicion and documentation of hearing loss. Despite the family history of dominant hearing loss, many family members had their first hearing test as part of this study, often because they lacked insurance coverage for hearing tests. Only 1 individual, V:2, had hearing loss suspected at birth, which was later confirmed by results of diagnostic auditory brainstem response at 3 months of age. Male members tended to report an earlier onset of hearing loss than female members, with more than half recalling hearing loss that led to academic difficulties in early childhood (Figure 3). In most cases, the hearing loss was diagnosed in the postlingual period. One individual recalled learning difficulties in school, but his hearing loss was not diagnosed until adulthood. No family members had undergone any ear surgery other than tympanostomy tubes.
In general, the hearing loss was slowly progressive over decades (Figure 4). Consistent with the data regarding age at onset, male members appeared to be more severely affected at younger ages (Figure 4A). The curve for male members older than 60 years reflects better thresholds than for those aged 40 to 59 years, largely owing to more steeply sloping losses in the oldest group. In the aggregate, the degree of hearing loss for female members appeared quite similar before 60 years of age (Figure 4B). The curve for female members older than 60 years is based on only 1 person, who is one of the more severely affected family members. Many members reported noise exposure from factory machinery, farming, and/or recreational activities.
Consistent with the degree of hearing loss, no repeatable auditory brainstem response waveforms or transient evoked otoacoustic emissions were obtained from the proband. No ipsilateral or contralateral bilateral stapedial reflexes were obtained. No temporal bone abnormalities were evident on computed tomographic scan findings. Vestibular testing revealed no objective indications of peripheral or central vestibular system involvement. Results of the modified Clinical Test of Sensory Integration and Balance indicated normal ability to maintain upright stance under a variety of changing sensory input conditions. Results of karyotype analysis were without abnormalities.
For all family members and controls undergoing testing, results were negative for the 7445A>G, Cins7472, 7511T>C, and 1555A>G deafness-associated mitochondrial mutations.
Although newborn hearing screening programs seek to improve early detection of congenital hearing impairment, it is equally important to identify infants and children at risk for delayed-onset hereditary hearing loss. Autosomal dominant hearing loss typically has a variable age at onset and variable severity among family members, and penetrance is often incomplete and age dependent.5
In the family with DFNA25-associated hearing loss, only 1 of 24 affected members received a diagnosis of hearing loss at birth. More than half of the family members had noticed their loss or had it diagnosed by the study before 30 years of age, whereas the age at onset of the remainder ranged from 31 to 60 years. As family members become educated about the hereditary hearing loss in their family, they can better advocate for their children to undergo diagnostic testing at birth and serial audiologic monitoring. Such longitudinal data will yield better estimates of the true age at onset and lead to a better understanding of the natural history of hearing loss in their family.
High-frequency hearing loss associated with aging likely results from genetic24 and environmental factors. Although the heterogeneity of high-frequency hearing loss makes it difficult to distinguish hearing loss attributable to DFNA25 from that caused by other genes, the phenotypic overlap with presbycusis suggests that DFNA25 may contribute to presbycusis in the general population. In this large family, it was possible to map the gene, despite the presence of 3 phenocopies, who usually cannot be identified a priori.
We found an apparent increase in severity of the phenotype when the deafness was inherited from an affected mother instead of an affected father, with all haplotype carriers inheriting the haplotype from an affected father. This variability in expression could be explained by modifier genes, genomic imprinting, or chance alone. Modifier genes are wild-type or disease alleles that alter the clinical severity of the disease caused by pathogenic mutations at another locus.25 One such modifier gene is DFNM1, which rescues the recessive deafness phenotype caused by DFNB26.26 Analysis of our data from a previous genome scan revealed no common haplotype at the DFNM1 locus that would explain why some who inherited the DFNA25 haplotype remained unaffected (A.S.T. and M.M.L., unpublished data, March 2002). None of the 4 deafness-associated mitochondrial mutations screened in this study were found in the family. However, other mitochondrial mutations cannot be ruled out, as the entire mitochondrial genome was not sequenced. The variability in expression of the DFNA25 phenotype could result from other deafness modifier genes as yet unknown.
Genomic imprinting has been demonstrated for certain chromosomal regions such as 15q11-q13, in which paternally and maternally inherited alleles cause different phenotypes, eg, Prader-Willi syndrome and Angelman syndrome, even when the alleles are identical at the DNA sequence level.25 At present, no evidence exists to implicate chromosome 12q21-24 as a region of genomic imprinting, but it remains an intriguing hypothesis.
A recent report of bilateral severe profound sensorineural hearing loss and other syndromic features caused by a 12q22-24.1 deletion in a child suggested that haploinsufficiency for DFNA25 is responsible for the hearing loss.27 Although the deletion is contained within the DFNA25 candidate region, this child's deafness may also result from the deletion of contiguous genes.
Although recent years have seen remarkable advances in the molecular genetics of hearing loss, translating this research into clinical practice has occurred more slowly. The key to recognizing genetic hearing loss is the family history. Many patients may be unaware of their family history or may attribute the hearing loss within the family to coincidence. Autosomal dominant hearing loss may affect any frequency and will not always manifest as a midfrequency "cookie-bite" sensorineural hearing loss. After identification of the DFNA25 gene, it will be possible to examine its role in presbycusis and/or susceptibility to noise in the general population.

Amazon is finally ready to take some measure of responsibility for charging customers' credit cards for their children's purchases without their consent.
In 2014, both Google and Apple settled FTC complaints with payouts of $32 and $19 million, respectively, for similar purchases. Amazon, however, has been considerably more reluctant to do so. They have continued to challenge the Federal Trade Commission regarding the legitimacy of in-app "micro-transactions" made by children but charged to their unsuspecting parents.
The original FTC complaint protested the lack of safeguards preventing unauthorized users from making unlimited purchases. At the time, the FTC asserted that "Amazon's in-app system allowed children to incur unlimited charges on their parents' accounts without permission" and that "even Amazon's own employees recognized the serious problem its process created."
Despite Amazon's rebuttals, a court agreed with the FTC in April 2016. And while Amazon has continued to appeal orders to refund customers until now, they seem to have finally owned up to their responsibility. Customers will be paid directly — the court also dismissed the notion that users might be refunded with Amazon gift cards.
The Federal Trade Commission seems to have been satisfied by the final result. Thomas B. Pahl, acting director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement:
This case demonstrates what should be a bedrock principle for all companies — you must get customers' consent before you charge them. Consumers affected by Amazon's practices can now be compensated for charges they didn't expect or authorize.
Amazon's payout may come late, but it will dwarf both Google and Apple's settlements combined. Roughly $70 million is expected to be in customers' hands in the very near future, covering any potentially unauthorized Amazon Store payments made between 2011 and 2016.

We take a further look at negotiating.
VICTOR: Yes, well, we're prepared to consider your offer Ms Chan, if you can accept some conditions.
SUE: And subject to consideration by the board…
JOHN: What are the conditions?
VICTOR: Well, firstly the price you're proposing. Would that be variable depending on currency fluctuations? The issue is that we're in an unstable environment at the moment – the exchange rate could affect us negatively.
JOHN: Us too!
VICTOR: True, but the problem is that we're tied to the U.S. dollar.
LIN: We could consider hedging against currency in both directions.
SUE: That would be acceptable.
VICTOR: Another problem we may have is that of supply. Our customers often need supply at short notice. If we do get large orders, we need to guarantee delivery – so we need to stockpile. The difficulty there is the capital outlay. How would you feel about a partial offset against our sales?
JOHN: You mean a loan.
VICTOR: I suppose so.
SUE: Would you be agreeable to a deferred payment? We can provide security of course.
LIN: I think that would be acceptable. Unfortunately, I would need to get Board approval for it.
SUE: Of course.
VICTOR: Then I think we might have a deal!
LIN: In principle.
JOHN: Time to celebrate!
He doesn't say 'we agree to your offer', he says 'we're prepared to consider your offer'.
He is signalling to the other side that there is a chance for agreement by using the word 'consider', which means 'think about'.
He then makes this conditional by saying 'if you can accept some conditions'. In English, using the word 'if' in this way is called a conditional.
Victor is saying 'We can consider your offer if you can accept some conditions.' One part of the sentence is conditional on, or depending on the other.
The negative is also true. If they can't accept the conditions, Victor can't consider the offer.
Notice that Sue adds: 'subject to consideration by the board'. 'Subject to' is another type of conditional phrase. She means 'We can agree if the board agrees.' 'Subject to' is a legal phrase meaning 'only if', or 'only after'. There are a number of expressions you can use when giving a condition. Try them after me:
…conditional on the board's agreement.
…providing that the board agrees.
…as long as the board agrees.
…on condition that the board agrees.
Notice that he explains what the problem is… He says 'The issue is that we're in an unstable environment.'
'The issue' means the problem, or the thing that needs discussing.
Practise with Victor some ways of introducing a problem.
The problem is the exchange rate.
The difficulty we have is with the exchange rate.
'Would' is like a conditional. One thing might result in another thing happening.
The exchange rate might change.
Victor is talking about the price for their product. He asks 'would that be variable depending on currency fluctuations'. 'Fluctuations' are changes. We can express this another way: 'If the currency changes, will the price change?' 'Could' is used to express a possibility – something that might happen.
Victor says 'the exchange rate could affect us negatively'. Notice that you can say something will affect you negatively – it will have a negative, or bad effect, or positively – it will have a positive , or good effect.
What is Lin's response to this first condition, or concern of Victor's?
That would be acceptable.
We can give both questions and answers using these 'could' and 'would' phrases. Practise them after Lin and Victor.
Would you agree to hedging against currency?
We could consider hedging against currency.
We could agree to hedging against currency.
We can agree to that.
We would be agreeable to that.
That wouldn't be acceptable I'm afraid.
I'm afraid we can't agree to that.
We wouldn't be agreeable to that.
What is Victor's second condition? Let's see.
I think that would be acceptable. Unfortunately, I would need to get Board approval for it.
The Board would need to approve that.
That would be subject to Board approval.
So it's very important when negotiating to listen for words that signal a condition: words like 'if', 'could','would', 'provided' or 'providing', 'as long as' and 'subject to'.
And words that might signal a problem, such as 'problem', 'unfortunately', and 'however'.
Notice that even at the end, they are being careful about what they say.
In principle.
And right now we've reached the end of today's program. See you next time on the Business of English.

The Las Vegas Finisher Medal collection has grown, glown and spun its way to being one of the most sought after in the running world. We take great pride in owning the #1 spot in the medals category of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series' annual What Rocked survey where thousands of participants cast votes.
Take a run back through the years with us and see all the medals, dating back to 2011 when we first ran the Las Vegas Strip at Night.
Most recently, we amped up our medals in 2018, with a double spinning and glowing design for the Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K medals. These were some of the most epic medals spinning in two different directions and showcasing Vegas at the center of it all with dice in the middle of the medal. Plus is glows in the dark, making it the perfect way to end your Las Vegas #StripAtNight!
We took the famed Las Vegas skyline for a "spin" with the design for the marathon, half marathon and 10K medals. The ring of icons and font within the black circle glowed-in-the-dark, making these a must-wear accessory to all post-race celebrations. With a record number of Saturday 5K participants, we had to up the ante with a sleek black medal with flashy blue glow on the 5K text.
This was a big first for the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series, multiple spinning pieces on one medal. This medal screamed "Las Vegas" about as loud as it could, with the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign morphed into a real, live, spinning slot machine. No details were left unattended to, as the spinning pieces revealed the mileage being tackled: 1-3-1 for half marathoners and 2-6-2 for marathoners. The back of each piece showed a famous slot machine icon resembling the same number on the front (1 diamond for the 1 pieces, 2 cherries for the 2 piece, 3 bananas for the 3 piece, etc.)
The 5K took on a clean look with 5 and King cards stacked on top of each other with a glitter-infused crown on the King. The 10K resembled a 3D stack of 4 poker chips, leaving those who earned it feeling like they hit the jackpot!
In 2014 we implemented our first rendition of playing card medals, changing the rules/numbers to suit our runners appropriately. The green circular design in the center of the card glowed in the dark and was a flashy accessory for those hitting the nightclubs Sunday after the race!
The inaugural Saturday night 5K brought out a jackpot worthy combo of a five die and a King card, with an intricately detailed design unlike anything we had ever pulled off before.
A Series first: first medal design tattoo by a race participant!
This brought us a Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series first: sublimated ribbons. In runner's terms, these were the shiny ribbons we could print designs on, breaking away from the plain and scratchy ribbons we had used since the inception of the Series. Attached to the new Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series branded black and red ribbons was a classic poker chip designs with the green 'suits' glowing in the dark Las Vegas night.
With our Rock 'n' Roll San Antonio Marathon & 1/2 Marathon race the same day (in the morning) as Las Vegas, over 200 daring participants took on the "SA2LV Challenge", running the half marathon in both cities on the same day! This awarded them with the first ever, Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series rotating medal.
We maintained the glow-in-the-dark flare in 2012 adding an all black skyline including the loop-de-loop on the famed New York New York roller coaster! Notice the old school ribbons…
The race moved from morning to evening in 2011 so what did we want our medals to do? Glow-in-the-dark after we awarded them to finishers. We highlighted the night more than ever with a glowing moon and Las Vegas skyline.
Wait and see what we will come up with next! Registration is now open for ALL distances! Secure your spot today and we'll see you in November.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 16, 2016
Award winning bookkeeping software provider Receipt Bank is launching a new feature that streamlines important client processes by connecting multiple accounting apps together.
The new "Additional Integrations" feature allows firms to choose where their client's receipts, credit notes and invoices go once processed by Receipt Bank's industry-leading data extraction software.
The first to get the Additional Integrations treatment is Xero + Bill.com. An accountant using the three apps together can set smart rules to automatically forward supplier bills to be paid to Bill.com or straight to Xero if the payment already matches one in the client's bank feed.
Previously, firms would have to train their clients to use several apps, often leading to confusion and frustration. Additional Integrations simplifies the client experience and makes it easier for firms to access the data they need to provide value-added services.
"Receipt Bank's Additional Integrations feature means we can offer our clients one seamless experience," says Corey Savoie, CPA of Xero Gold Partner firm Aldridge Borden.
"Receipt Bank's commitment to a mobile first experience has been met with delight from Aldridge Borden clients and our team alike as more and more information flows from the client to the firm more efficiently."
Additional Integrations also works with QuickBooks Online and other leading cloud accounting software such as WorkflowMax and Gusto will be added shortly.
"Additional Integrations builds on Receipt Bank's commitment to helping bookkeepers and accountants around the world make their client's bookkeeping effortless," says Alexis Prenn, Receipt Bank CEO and Co-Founder.
"Clients and accountants alike now have one single platform available to them to manage client data. Accountants can further streamline their processes and help deliver an even better experience to their clients."
"At Receipt Bank we're delighted to be shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Xero and Bill.com to help bring a unique mobile first, cloud enabled experience to our partner's clients," says Damien Greathead, VP of Receipt Bank North America.
"More and more, members of the accounting add-on community are starting to work together to solve our mutual partner's challenges. The power of the automated bookkeeping ecosystem is truly in collaboration. Together we can help solve the challenges our mutual partners are facing."
Russ Fujioka, Xero Americas President said, "With more than 500 add-on integrations in the Xero App Marketplace, we have established our open ecosystem to help boost small business productivity. By enabling add-on partners like Receipt Bank and Bill.com to build strong connections with small business owners, we can help entrepreneurs get paid faster and have a complete view of their finances.
"The Xero app marketplace combined with beautiful integrations with and between our add-on partners enables us to better connect small businesses with technology, government and financial institutions so they can truly harness the power of the network."
About Receipt Bank
Receipt Bank provides award-winning bookkeeping automation software for accountants, bookkeepers and small businesses. Over 5,000 accounting and bookkeeping firms around the world already use it to automate data extraction and data entry.
Receipt Bank integrates with leading accounting software such as Xero and has been awarded Xero Add-on of the Year 2012 – 2015.
Founded in 2010 by Michael Wood and Alexis Prenn, Receipt Bank now has six offices worldwide. In January 2016, Receipt Bank raised USD$10 million in growth capital from the Kennet Fund.

The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants. Albert Camus.
"The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive."–Thomas Sowell. Dr. Sowell could have added that places such as political organizations, universities, government schools and other state-run institutions are places where ideas do not have to work and, in accord with his observation, these are the places where the ideas of the political left find homes. Socialism is supported by the young, recipients of government pensions, university professors, politicians, members of the social sciences and social services–all members of groups which need produce nothing but spin to show the exceptional potential which can only be unleashed by application of their progressive concepts.
One of the central errors of the left is, "If there is inequality, there must be inequity." If a group has a lower income, less education, poorer housing, etc., this must be the result of systemic and systematic discrimination toward them. This is such nonsense that only university-based or other government-sponsored groups maintain it. Groups differ in many ways; behavior toward work, attitudes to the use and value of time, dependability, attitudes to training and education, reverence for deferred goals, saving, and etc. To expect groups with different value systems, effort and planning to achieve at the same level is a fevered dream. Yet much of the rhetoric of "social justice" supporting government intervention is directed by the notion of systemic discrimination. Favored groups become net tax consumers which further degrades their ability to function. And that's socialism for you.
President Obama is in Cuba, an old-fashioned Marxist state. I believe that this is a good idea. The government of Cuba has done reprehensible things, all in pursuit of its Marxist ideal, and will probably continue. Increased trade and contact with the world will gradually end this nonsense to the economic and moral advantage of Cubans. Welcome to the end of Communist Cuba.

It towers over the sanctuary in majestic pride. The hill is abundant in all kinds of rare flora and fauna, but the most well known among them is Neelakurinji. This is an ideal spot for trekking and camping, and the Eravikulam National Park, at a trekking distance north of Anamudi, is a nearby attraction.
It is best known for the endangered Nilgiri tahr (hemitragus hylocrious) although it does harbour a number of other equally interesting denizens— such as Atlas moth (the largest of its kind in the world), Nilgiri langurs, lion-tailed macaques, leopards and tigers.
Eravikulam National Park : (15 km from Munnar) The 97 sq. kms park is situated in the Devikulam Taluk and is home to the Nilgiri Tahr. The Anamudi peak (2695 m) is located in the Southern region of the park. Originally established to protect the Nilgiri tahr (Nilgiri Ibex), the Eravikulam National Park is situated in the Devikulam Taluk of the Idukki District.
It was declared as a sanctuary in 1975. Considering the ecological, faunal, floral, geo-morphological and zoological significance, it was declared as a National park in 1978. It covers an area of 97 sq kms of rolling grasslands and high level sholas (evergreen forests).
The park is breathtakingly beautiful and is easily comparable to the best mountain ranges found anywhere in the world. The park is divided into 3 regions - the core area, the buffer area and the tourism area.
Visitors are allowed only to the tourism area, which is in the Rajamala region. The Nilgiri Tahr can be observed at close quarters here. Trekking facilities are available here. Tourists are allowed to go on foot up to Anamudi. This is also a place for adventure tourism.
Anamudi and the Eravikulam National Park surrounding is home to the largest surviving population of Nilgiri tahr. The summit of the Anamudi is vegetated with patches of stunted Arundinaria densifolia and Gaultheria fragrantissima (wintergreen), Anaphalis sp., Impatiens and some species of Eniocaulon.
How to Get There:
Air : Near by airports are at Kochi (130 kms) and Madurai (142 kms).
Rail : Nearest railway stations are at Kochi and Kottayam.
Road : The place is well connected by a well developed network of road transport.
Climate: Temperature:
- Summer: Max: 25.8°C, Min: 15.2°C
- Winter: Max: 10°C, Min: 0°C
Places to stay in Munnar: Windermere Estate, Mahindra Resorts, Fort Munnar, Periyar Mist Valley, Bluemount-Chinnakal, Royal Retreat, Elseem Garden, Western Cottage, Marthoma Rest House, Misha Tourist Home, Idukki Tower-Thodupuzha, Gemini Tourist Home-Thodupuzha, etc.

Christmastime in south east Queensland is steamy, sunny and sweaty. And often rainy, with thunderstorms. But that's ok, because the weather is HOT and there's no chance of catching a cold if you get wet through. Another local tradition of the week between Christmas and New Year is the Woodford Folk Festival, where an amazing line-up of performers converge in the mythical land of Woodfordia to do their thing (Woodfordia is north of Brisbane, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland). This year, I'm thrilled to be offering my nature journaling workshops as part of the Arts and Crafts programme of this fabulous Festival.
Each Woodfordia session is 2 hours duration and costs $35 per person, which includes a materials kit, and a print copy of Make a Date with Nature. Reserve your place via the Festival Workshop Bookings page.
These are the workshop times:
Tue 27th Dec 2016 5:00pm
Wed 28th Dec 2016 9:00am
Thu 29th Dec 2016 5:00pm
Fri 30th Dec 2016 9:00am
Sat 31st Dec 2016 5:00pm
Sun 1st Jan 2017 9:00am
Another wonderful institution of south east Queensland is the Redlands Indigiscapes Centre, located in the southern bayside suburbs of Brisbane. The Redlands City Council is sponsoring a FREE 2 hour Nature Journaling workshop at Indigiscapes on Saturday 14th January 2017 from 10 am to 12 pm. Go to this page for more details, and how to book.

Miley Cyrus Didn't Hide Her Bisexuality From Exes Liam & Patrick
After Miley Cyrus revealed she's bisexual in a new interview with Paper Magazine, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that she never hid her sexual orientation from exes Liam Hemsworth and Patrick Schwarzenegger!
Honesty is the best policy — and no one knows that better than our girl, Miley Cyrus, 22! The controversial pop princess bravely opened up about dating both guys and girls after she secretly came out during her Hannah Montana days. But what did the "We Can't Stop" singer's former flames, Liam Hemsworth, 25, and Patrick Schwarzenegger, 21, think about her dips in the lady pond? Read on for all the details!
"They both new [about Miley's bisexuality], but it was Patrick that was really more accepting and really brought it out of her. He thought it was really hot!" a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "For Patrick, he thought this was extremely cool and was all about it. He loved it!"
And apparently, Miss Cyrus thought her feelings for females made her love affair with Patrick a whole lot easier, too. Talk about a win-win! "She believes it improved her relationship with Patrick because she could be the person she wanted to be," our insider adds. "He really gave her the freedom she was looking for." #RelationshipGoals, right?!
While Patrick highly encouraged Miley's love for the ladies, laid back Liam also had major chill about the situation. In fact, her bisexuality had absolutely nothing to do with their 2013 split. "It didn't contribute to the breakup," the source continues. "Immaturity, family planning and career goals were the main factors."
Miley Cyrus: My Gender Identity Is 'Fluid' — 'I Don't Relate To Being Boy Or Girl'
"I don't relate to being boy or girl, and I don't have to have my partner relate to boy or girl," Miley explained in her chat with Paper. For those who are still unsure of what "gender fluid" means exactly, nonbinary.org defines the term as:
"Genderfluid aka Gender-fluid, Gender Fluid, or Fluid Gender is an identity under the multigender, nonbinary, and transgender umbrellas. Genderfluid individuals have different gender identities at different times. A genderfluid individual's gender identity could be multiple genders at once, and then switch to none at all, or move between single gender identities."
"I am literally open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn't involve an animal and everyone is of age," the Happy Hippie Foundation creator went on to say. "Everything that's legal, I'm down with. Yo, I'm down with any adult — anyone over the age of 18 who is down to love me."
Miley also opened up about coming out to her mother at the age of 14, saying: "I remember telling her I admire women in a different way. And she asked me what that meant. And I said, I love them. I love them like I love boys." From her mom to her exes and now to her Smilers and us, as well — we're just so happy Miley had enough courage to share more about herself with the world!

HollywoodLifers — what do YOU think of Patrick and Liam's thoughts on Miley's bisexuality? Let us know!

1. The vineyards
Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Côtes du Rhone, Languedoc, Provence – just some of the names that come to mind when you mention the phrase French wines. These (and more) vineyards produce about 50 and 60 million hectoliters per year, which makes 7–8 billion bottles. Explore the rich tastes of the French countryside on some of the best wine tours across the country.
2. The cuisine
They say you really get to know a culture through its meals and table manners. Besides an exquisite taste in wine, the French have an unapologetic taste palate and some of the finest signature dishes. Irresistible crispy croissants for breakfast, signature onion soup as a starter for lunch, the iconic pot-au-feu (French beef stew) for the main course, a delicious crème brûlée for dessert, and a selection of fine cheeses along with white wine for dinner – there's great food on the menu any time of day.
3. The seaside
From the Northern coast of Picardy and Normandy, over the Atlantic coastline from Vendée to Aquitaine, down to the Mediterranean beaches from Languedoc to Riviera – France has many wonderful seaside resorts to offer. The beaches come either in broad sandy beaches and sand dunes or in rugged and rocky seashores secluded behind a line of pine tree forest which gives away a signature scent. You could even book a romantic boat cruise in France in order to explore the country through its majestic waterway.
4. The artwork
French cultural heritage is vast and known around the globe. It's no wonder that Paris alone is the home of over a hundred different museums, art galleries and the world's most famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe (Triumphant gate) at Champs-Élysées and the unforgettable Louvre museum. Wherever you go to, you will be able to marvel upon the historical treasures cherished by many scholars and art fans around the globe.
5. European Disneyland
No matter how old you are, where you come from or what you do in life, everybody turns into a cheering toddler once they step into the grounds of the world's most beloved theme park – Disneyland. Situated a mere 32 kilometers from Paris, Disneyland is easily accessible by car or by some of the frequent train and bus lines that charter from Paris. The theme park is divided into three major sections: Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studio Park and Disney Village where you can find fun things to do for every single family member.
6. The castles
The word château originates from France and includes a wider meaning than the English castle: it includes architectural entities that are properly called palaces, mansions or vineyards in English – and France is packed with these marvels of architecture: the prestigious Carcassonne in Languedoc, the military fortress of Bonaguil (Périgord), the enchanting Pierrefonds (Picardy), and the fascinating Les Baux-de-Provence (Provence) are just some of the few to mention.
7. The fashion
Alongside Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan and the USA, France is a leading country in the fashion industry and has been the birthplace of many famous fashion icons and brands like Chanel, Pierre Cardin, Céline, Chloe, Dior, Givenchy, Jean Paul Gaultier, Hermès, Lanvin, Rochas, Vuitton, and Yves Saint Laurent in the clothing department, to the leading cosmetic centers of Île-de-France, Manosque, La Gacilly (near Rennes), and Vichy where all well-known international beauty houses like L'Oreal, Lancôme, Guerlain, Clarins, Yves Rocher, L'Occitane, and Vichy are based at. It's no wonder that Paris is the home of one of the first and most traditional fashion weeks.
8. L'amour
Everything and anything associated with France has a certain romantic flare in it – the language (oh la la), the food, the drinks, the aromas, the clothes, the streets – so it's no surprise why many people fall in love with France so easily and fall in love IN France so easily. That's the main reason why France is a great option for a romantic getaway or a honeymoon destination, as its love landmarks have seen a lot of proposals happening for years.
9. The ski adventures
For those who prefer higher altitudes and are avid fan of snow sports, the French Alps are the place to spend your winter holiday. There are ski areas fit for novice skiers and snowboarders and for the die-hard professionals, with numerous resorts to choose from. The price range maybe as high as the altitude, but the service is remarkable and the nature is almost intact so you'll be sure to have a memorable experience.
10. The women
Surely, one reason you need to visit France not many readers could oppose is – the women. European beauty as you've never seen it before, the glamorous everyday outfits and a mixture of Northern European class with South European feistiness is what makes these admirable ladies like Emmanuelle Béart, Vanessa Paradis or Marion Cotillard stand out on the global stage.
This list of top 10 causes to visit this marvelous country is just the tip of the iceberg, so don't take our word for it – experience the wonders of France firsthand.

American household debt totaled a record $12.73 trillion as of March 2017, so cost of living concerns are more pertinent than ever.
Americans have high expectations for their standard of living, but the price of sustaining those expectations can be steep — and it's rising in certain parts of the country much more than others.
GOBankingRates conducted a study to identify which cities have seen the largest cost of living increase over a one-year period from 2016 to 2017. The study evaluated U.S. cities based on two principal metrics:
- The increase in its cost of living index, which includes food, rent, utilities and transportation.
- The increase in the amount of income required to "live comfortably," a concept used in GOBankingRates studies that combines the money needed to pay for necessities — including food, rent, utilities, transportation and healthcare — with the amount one should budget toward discretionary spending and savings.
We identified the cities where the cost of living index had increased by at least two points (out of a total 100) and the amount of income required to live comfortably had also risen. Combining these two metrics provides both the objective and more subjective side of cost of living expenses. Most cost of living indices do not account for the ability to save or pay for unnecessary purchases, and yet they're both important parts of people's financial lives. Click through to find out the worst places to live because of rising costs.
