In 2015, the Board approved a new long term performance based share scheme for CEO, Richard Keys, on substantially the same terms as the previous Long Term Incentive Schemes that were put in place in 2008 and 2011.
The Board believes that long term performance based share schemes are desirable to ensure there is an alignment of managements' interests and efforts with the interests of shareholders. Long term incentive schemes also ensure that long term growth and shareholder value are not compromised in favour of short term actions, with management rewarded if the Company performs well over the term of such a scheme.

New York Fashion Week finally drew to an end last Thursday, giving us time to look back on the ultimate trends that strutted down the catwalk. Collections featured recurring elements from the Spring 2016 shows – the ever-popular off-the-shoulder silhouette, but others felt more unique to this season, like extra-long sleeves and slick black PVC.
It does seem a bit early to think about Fall 2016 when summer hasn't even began, however these top trends make us want winter to hurry up! The thought of being wrapped in a statement fur jacket and amazing shearling jackets definitely seems this will be a winter to look forward to.
Classic aviator-style shearling jackets are back for Fall 2016. Shearling jackets were spotted in many collections at NYFW. What's really exciting is that they now come in a variety of cuts and colours. You can go classic in brown or black leather, or mix it up with a cropped or cocoon shape.
There was no shortage of fur (both real and faux) on the runways, which was especially fitting during the brutally cold days of NYFW. It was the use of bold colors and prints that really caught my eye. J.Crew and Rodarte presented colorful versions, while designers such as Tome and Michael Kors showcased "Revenant"worthy brown fur coats.
Off the shoulder cuts were massive through 2015. Now designers have vamped up this trend for Fall 2016, presenting dramatic blouses and luxe-looking dresses with the subtly sexy silhouette.Once again bare shoulders and collarbones proved to be the most popular seductive zones of the season.
Velvet, a timelessly luxe fabric, showed no signs of going away this season. Ralph Lauren presented velvet evening gowns in black, claret, crimson and amethyst.While Lacoste presented velvet pants for men. Tory Burch, Naeem Khan and Jason Wu were also fans. Velvet is a warm thick fabric that revamps any ordinary outfit in your wardrobe.
The menswear trend is the ultimate classy look. While still being able to wear last season's relaxed fit suit, designers have now upgraded the look by using menswear patterns and lots of tailoring. This board room style will raise your fashion standards giving you an elegant look.
Following the layer trend of 2015, Fall 2016 brings an update style with long sleeve turtlenecks under dresses. This is ideal for wearing those skimpy dresses that you love but can't wear until spring/summer.The juxtaposition of textures, prints and colours in this look really stood out on the catwalk in this trans-seasonal trend.

A selfless act by a kind police officer for a homeless woman is making waves online.
Joshua Rounds posted to story on Facebook. He was at the mall when the officer was seen escorting the shoeless woman.
"I asked the officer if he was buying her a pair of shoes and he said yes. So we decided to offer another pair of shoes for her. She started crying and told us that she was homeless and hadn't had shoes in over 2 months. It was clear she was telling the truth. Between us and the police officer she walked out of payless with 2 pairs of shoes a pack of socks and a scarf since the weather is getting cold (the amazing payless cashier heard us helping her and talked to the manager and they gave us a 30% discount) thank you payless for the extra love."
"The officer told her to meet her at the mall parking lot tomorrow at the same time so he can give her a bag of clothes that the department has. She was so thankful she couldn't stop crying. So thankful we could help her and so glad the police officer on duty took time out of his day to go in the mall with her and buy her things we take such granted for. So thankful our city is filled with helpful police officers. I won't say the officers name because I didn't ask him if i could. This just proves that all cops aren't bad.. Help it go viral to prove not all police officers are the same!!!"
The officer was identified as Deputy Bruce Pierson. He confirmed that he arrived at the mall after a report was made that the homeless teenager was seen looking for shade between parked cars. Upon arriving, he saw the girl's bare feet.
"She raised her foot, and her feet were blacker than my boots and calloused, and she said, 'I haven't had shoes in two months,'" Bruce told KTLA.
So the officer took the teenager to a shoe store and had her pick out a pair. The girl, Franki, said she'd been homeless for six years and lived on the streets with two dogs and her boyfriend.
The officer believes what he did wasn't special, at least it shouldn't be.
"It was the right thing to do … I would hope any human would do that," Bruce said.

Edward M. Bannister: An American Artist
Edward M. Bannister: An American Artist, a documentary film, will combine Bannister's sketches & paintings, re-created scenes, special FX of his techniques, as well as vintage & modern footage of Providence, RI. Edward Mitchell Bannister was a co-founder of the Providence Art Club, but first, Bannister was a colleague of Frederick Douglass, husband of the successful entrepreneur Christiana Babcock Bannister and a self-taught, prize winning artist. Neither the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 nor the paucity of educational resources hindered Bannister in realizing his dream of becoming one of America's finest painters. He was as devoted to the art community in Providence as he had been to the abolition of slavery. He was a mentor and inspiration to many, a joyful man of faith despite the gravest iniquities, setting an example without equal. The story is narrated by Bannister's greatest believer, his wife, Christiana Babcock Bannister.

Yankee Hill >> As a foothill resident, Brenda Rightmyer remembers her own terror during the Butte County wildfires in 2008, when thousands of acres burned, so she has an inkling what those fleeing the Ponderosa Fire are feeling now.
It's terror, confusion, anxiety and concern over family, neighbors, pets and home. Nearly any adjective linked to fear is applicable.
Rightmyer has been a key figure in helping Wall Fire victims figure out their lives. After it started in early July, the Wall Fire burned for days into Oroville, consuming more than 6,000 acres and destroying more than 40 homes.
A Yankee Hill resident since 1998, Rightmyer survived the Poe Fire in 2001, the Concow Fire of 2004, and the 2008 fires.
Likely her first message to Ponderosa Fire victims is that there is help and support available. Shelters, food and assistance for immediate safety are available, but when residents are released to go home, bigger questions arise. There will be answers, she knows.
"They're wondering what do they do now. How do they put back their lives."
While she never lost her home, she knows that feeling of helplessness and uncertainty of where to begin. She compares it to a process of grieving.
"Everyone does it differently."
Butte County has set up a team for helping Wall Fire victims piece together normalcy, and people like Rightmyer think it has worked well.
Previously involved in the Butte County Fire Safe Council, Rightmyer is executive director of the Yankee Hill Fire Safe Council, which was set up to reduce the likelihood of wildfires in her community through vegetation management and planning.
Sept. 7 meeting
She has been among the faces helping people get back to normal, which is why she's hoping for a good turn out for a meeting on Sept. 7 in Oroville that was set up before the Ponderosa Fire started.
While it was planned to help Wall Fire victims, Ponderosa Fire victims and anyone else are welcome.
The meeting is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at 3210 Heritage Road in Oroville.
Among other emergency agencies, the county took early and strong role to help fire victims. As the mass of victims were helped as much as possible, the county team was expanded to include Rightmyer as an employee after weeks of volunteering.
On Tuesday, county spokesperson Casey Hatcher called Rightmyer an "ombudsman" to help residents through the recovery process.
"She was experienced with the Concow Fire and with the Yankee Hill Fire Safe Council. Brenda is part of our Disaster Recovery Operations Center team, which talks about the recovery process."
Hatcher said the team was meeting daily during and after the Wall Fire, but has now changed to weekly.
"Brenda's involved. She understands the county process and has access to county staff and information." Hatcher said it's too early to see if Rightmyer will be called into action for the Ponderosa Fire. Rightmyer started by helping Wall Fire victims sign up for state hazardous waste removal from their home sites. Regarding the free waste bins for clean-up of fire debris such as ash and metal, Rightmyer said she can still help and encourages calls.
She points to strides like the Yankee Hill Fire Safe Council Facebook page.
"We put new information up there as soon as we get it."
Rightmyer understands that reaching out for help can be difficult for some individuals. There are many reasons for seeking privacy and solitude in the foothill forests. But she's afraid that people will forget that help is available, and plans to continue responding to whomever contacts her.
Rightmyer can be reached at 534-4179 or 530-370-5302 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Contact reporter Laura Urseny at 896-7756.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 04, 2014
On December 30, 2013, Business2Community.com published an article, "Essentials of Restaurant Marketing," that provided restaurants with a detailed description of online marketing strategies worth pursuing. After reviewing the list, 5StarControl.com confirms that leveraging Yelp reviews as a marketing strategy is not only important, but the best marketing return on investment for restaurants. 5StarControl.com also adds a #8 to Madabushi's list.
Author Seshu Madabushi outlines seven specific tools that restaurants should use to establish a comprehensive online marketing campaign. Although there is little discussion about how much emphasis to place on each method, restaurants should adopt the following local internet practices:
1. Be included in local directory listings.
2. Maintain a social media presence.
3. Monitor online review sites, especially Yelp.
4. Allow customers to order online.
5. Develop good relationships with bloggers and critics.
6. Create an email list to keep current customers interested.
7. Research other websites that are specific to a business or locality.
Despite little discussion of how much to invest in each technique, Madabushi goes on to advise restaurants that of all the marketing strategies listed the most important one is maintaining positive reviews on such as Yelp. In light of the Business2Community article, 5StarControl.com agrees that online review sites hold the greatest value for restaurants and, more specifically, the best return on investment is through leveraging Yelp reviews. The editor of 5StarContol.com also added a #8 to the list, "Madabushi was completely correct with the things listed. I also believe that a good marketing strategy is to pursue Facebook ads. Facebook has many different settings for advertisers to customize their ads. You are able to customize your ad so that you are only targeting friends of people who have liked your business's Facebook page. This will likely lead to a bigger return on investment since there is already a common bond between your business and the person you are targeting. Also, when set up correctly, Facebook ads can be quite effective and inexpensive."
Business2Community.com published a list of local internet marketing techniques that restaurants should adopt in order to stay competitive. In agreement with the article, 5StarControl.com asserts that managing Yelp reviews is the most effective method for restaurants to yield a high return on investment and added running Facebook ads to the list of important online marketing strategies. 5StarControl.com invites readers to check out their website for more local internet marketing insights on how maintaining positive Yelp reviews can affect the acquisition of new customers.
About 5StarControl.com:
5StarControl.com circulates information specifically for small businesses about local internet marketing techniques and offers help and training on how to harness Yelp online reviews to increase revenue.

There were few bright spots for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their 38-13 loss to the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in a battle of two 2-0 teams. Yet one of those bright spots was the play of rookie running back LeGarrette Blount. The Oregon product made a statement on his first NFL carry, which went for 12 yards and picked up a first down.
Blount finished the game with 27 yards on six carries (4.5 avg.) and scored his first NFL touchdown. Read what Bucs head coach Raheem Morris and Blount had to say about his NFL debut in Scott Reynolds' story for FoxSportsFlorida.com

Trimming your dog's nails is an important part of being a pet owner. Any part of grooming a dog is important, but leaving those nails long can ultimately cause health issues and can be just plain uncomfortable.In just a moment I will share some of my own personal tips I find helpful to trim your dog's nails. And hey, if it helps my huskies nails get done, hopefully it will help you too!
How could long nails possibly cause health issues to my dog?
- Long toenails can easily get split and infected
- A dog's nail can literally grow so long it will wrap around and begin to grow into the pad of their paw.
- A dog who walks on long nails for a prolonged period of time can have issues with bone structure in their senior days.
How do I know if my dog's nails are too long?
- Does his/her nails click on the floor as they walk? If so, they could be too long.
- Hold your dog's paw, press on his toe making his nail fully extend. If the nail curves down longer than his paw pad. Its time for a trim.
Helpful Tips to Trim Your Dog's Nails:
- The key to our nail trimming woes is as follows... paw handling. It is super important that your dog is comfortable letting you handle any part of him. From head to tail. Paws are especially important for this. If your dog isn't a fan of having his paws touched, that is most likely the reason you could be having a hard time trimming those nails. Start slow. If you rush your dog into being comfortable with you touching his paws, it will only backfire and make things worse. While your dog is cozy, curled up having a good ol' chillax, take advantage. Sit down on the floor or couch with him, and begin to pet him. While your petting his head with one hand, move your other hand to his leg with a pet here and there. Work your way down to his paw. Do this with each leg, and caress his paw until he moves it away. You might have to do this every day for a week or two before he gets used to the idea.
- Introduce treats. If the above method isn't working, time to bring in the big guns! Yummy, high value treats. Follow the steps I mentioned above, but add the fact of having his favorite treats. Once you get to his paw and you know he's about to get uncomfortable, hand him a treat. Use this time to begin touching his paws. Let him chew his treat while you are caressing his paws. Again, do this for about a week or two.
- Once you're sure that your pooch is comfortable having his paws touched by you. Introduce the nail trimmers. Again, wait till he is in a chillaxed state, go sit by him, bring yummy treats and the clippers. Before you touch his paws, let him sniff the clippers while you are petting him. Give him a small treat or two while he is investigating the clippers. Now try a trim! Do one nail, then give him a treat right away. If he gets too freaked out, it is best to stop completely. Try again the next day. And continue to touch his paws on a daily basis.

Hillsborough: new chief coroner hints at inquest role
For more than 700 years, coroners have investigated sudden and unexpected deaths in their own areas of England and Wales without the sort of hierarchy that governs other judicial officers. But last month the first chief coroner started work, with a brief to ensure that coroners are better trained and organised.
The Attorney General's announcement last week that he would be seeking new inquests into the deaths of some - or all - of the 96 people who died in the Hillsborough disaster 23 years ago led to speculation over where the new inquests would sit and which coroner might preside over them.
It had been thought that the job might be taken by the new chief coroner for England and Wales - Judge Peter Thornton QC.
But in his first broadcast interview, the former Old Bailey Judge said that he could instead be a member of the panel of judges which would hear the Attorney General's application to overturn the verdicts of accidental death.
"It's possible that I shall be sitting on that court hearing," Judge Thornton told Radio 4's Law in Action.
"I do sit as a deputy High Court judge on certain inquest hearings.
"I may or I may not - but it's quite possible that I may - sit on that High Court hearing with other judges."
It would be regarded as inappropriate for the chief coroner to preside over an inquest that he had played some part in ordering, but Judge Thornton said he would do all he could to learn lessons from the findings of the independent panel headed by the Bishop of Liverpool.
However, he was not prepared to be drawn on such issues as where the inquest might take place and whether it would have to be adjourned pending possible criminal proceedings.
Legal leadership
Judge Thornton is the first holder of a post created by parliament in 2009 - although some of the reforms to the ancient post of coroner will not take effect until next summer.
From then, all new coroners will have to have legal qualifications. They will also have to retire at the age of 70.
"My job as chief coroner is to provide leadership for the coroners' service," Judge Thornton says.
Although there is a national structure for England and Wales coroners are appointed and funded locally - "I'm trying to bring that system together and provide some consistency," he explains.
Judge Thornton accepts that this has been lacking in the past - but how will he deal with a group of independent judicial officers who are not used to a centralised structure or leadership?
"I think they're ready for it. They are rather pleased, it seems to me, to have a chief coroner, something they have been lacking. They are ready to update their procedures."
But I put it to him that he will not have the power to hear appeals from the decisions of individual coroners, as had been originally proposed.
"There are different ways in which I can produce legal guidance," he says - adding that he believes the 100 or so coroners in England and Wales would welcome guidance on key aspects of the law.
Improving public service
But how can Judge Thornton ensure that best practice is adopted by all?
Sheila, a teacher whose adult son turned to drugs and died in prison a few years ago, told Law in Action that one coroner she had dealt with seemed very dismissive.
"He said at one of the pre-inquest hearings that he didn't want to waste taxpayers' money on a lengthy inquest. It was clearly a case of a drug addict who'd committed suicide in prison."
She added: "When we walked into our first hearing, the coroner was seated at the end of the room and the legal people were seated along the sides.
"We were ignored. We were not greeted. We were not welcomed. Nothing was said to us.
"Nobody asked who were were or introduced themselves or explained what was happening. It was just appalling and we felt deeply upset about it."
But the coroner who presided over the inquest was very different, says Sheila.
"He wanted a proper inquiry with witnesses into what had happened to our son during his time in prison. He allocated a week to the inquest. He was very kind and very humane."
"What is very important is that bereaved families are put at the heart of the process," says the new chief coroner.
"This is a public justice system. It's not just about bereaved families - it's about the public generally, who have the right to know how somebody has died.
"But it is vitally important that coroners act with sensitivity and understanding, right from the beginning."
The key to this is training and Judge Thornton confirmed that the Judicial College - which trains judges - would provide compulsory training for coroners from next year.

What causes teeth grinding in adults
Teeth grinding or Bruxism during sleep is generally associated with stress and anxiety in about 70% of cases. It can be simply due to an abnormal alignment between upper and lower teeth known as a malocclusion or even due to a lack of support in the posterior region of the mouth when the patient has missing teeth.
It can also be associated with Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) which is a sleep disorder with interrupted breathing patterns. Both adults and children can be affected but adults of the ages of 25 to 44 are thought to be the most affected.
Bruxism is also thought to be associated more with certain personality types with those of an aggressive, competitive or hyperactive nature most at risk.
Regular drinkers of alcohol and smokers as well as those that regularly take recreational drugs such as ecstasy or cocaine have an increased risk of teeth grinding. Teeth grinding is also sometimes caused by taking antipsychotic or antidepressant medication such as the selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors one of which "Citalapram" is particularly widely used in the UK.
Teeth clenching during the day is thought to be a form of coping with a particular situation or stressful event while some people find that clenching their teeth may help them concentrate at a particular job in hand. From personal experience I notice myself clenching my jaws during particularly difficult or testing dental procedures.
What are some teeth grinding symptoms
Quite often teeth grinding causes no symptoms for the patient but is noticed by the dentist through features seen in the mouth during a routine dental examination. When symptoms are noticed in those that regularly grind their teeth they are usually pain or soreness in the teeth, jaws or even in the face.
Patients that grind their teeth often awaken their partners because the noise they make is so loud. Other symptoms include flattening, fracturing or even loosening of teeth with wear of the teeth been so extreme that it can lead to a non-decayed tooth to split straight down the middle or in milder cases, for cusps of teeth to fracture off. Other symptoms frequently reported are headaches on waking up or earaches with general muscle tension in the jaw, temple or neck. Persistent cheek biting and indentations on the sides of the tongue are also relevant symptoms of this habit.
What are the effects of teeth grinding
Teeth grinding ultimately not only causes pain in the form of headaches, toothache and muscle aches but more importantly it causes loss of tooth substance or complete loss of the tooth in extreme cases which requires time effort and expense to treat. Persistent cheek biting and the keratinisation of the cheek tissue over it is thought to be a precursor in some people to the development oral cancer in older age.
Sometimes patients develop pain and even a scraping noise in the Tempro-mandibular joint with restriction in movement or even lock jaw where the patient is unable to open the mouth widely and this is known as tempro-mandibular dysfunction which can be linked to teeth grinding.
Loss of tooth substance can lead to the need for restorations in the form of fillings or crowns with some cases needing root canal therapy beforehand. If a tooth is lost then a replacement with a denture, bridge or implant may be an option.
How can I prevent teeth grinding
There are a number of causes to teeth grinding and as dentists we concentrate on treating the symptoms and preventing further damage using various appliances, including nightguards. Obviously counselling of patients with regards to limiting the risk factors is a must while referral to therapists for behavioural and relaxation techniques is another option.
The appliances used can be either soft or hard covering the biting surfaces of all the teeth usually in one jaw to protect against further damage. Other appliances are available and are more specialised in that they are designed to inhibit or reduce the habit by placing the jaws in a particular position to each other or allowing contact only on the front teeth so that the back teeth do not make contact and the big jaw muscles are more relaxed.
If you find yourself suffering from any of the recognised teeth grinding symptoms above then do get in touch with us.

When is a half-eaten box of cheese straws not simply a half-eaten box of cheese straws? Response: when it remains in a Hirokazu Kore-eda movie. No director functioning today is much better at finding poetry in the flotsam of everyday life – as well as in After the Tornado also the snacks are brilliant with definition, from the burgers and home-made water ices to the bowls of noodles quickly consumed at grey railway station canteens.
Most of the guzzling is done by Ryota (Hiroshi Abe), a once-promising novelist eking out a living at an investigator agency in a tattered north residential area of Tokyo. He initially took the job as as research for his still-unwritten second novel, yet has considering that settled into the unfaithful partners and also lost family pets defeat with gloomy convenience. It's undignified work, yet the income it generates assists him cover 2 longstanding economic dedications.

If you are not sure of your HTMLEncoder class, there are quite a few available that are fully-tested. A short search in Google for "java html encoder" shows a few, such as this one : http://jtidy.sourceforge.net/multiproject/jtidyservlet/clover/org/w3c/tidy/servlet/util/HTMLEncode.html (and there is another one in the Jakarta Commons). Personally, instead of some kind of HashMap, I would just use a preset array of String[128] with the translations of the first 128 char values (translating the inocuous characters by themselves), and then translate everything else above 128 to "&#(char value);". Intuitively, it would seem much faster than the complicated logic I see in these classes (and yours). But then, since I am no great Java expert, I may be missing something. Getting back to the "system.gc()" however, I am pretty sure that if every access to a JSP page on that system triggers a major GC, then there is no wonder about where your system's CPU time is being spent. That is also what Philip seemed to say in his comment to your thread dump. And he definitely is a Java and Tomcat expert. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

We've reached a time where it's hard to keep track of all the controllers and accessories being released for iOS devices to assist you with music production. And with the latest iPads slowly crawling towards a worthy laptop replacement for serious producing I think it's time to recap the latest and greatest keyboard controllers that you can pair up with your iPad.
Korg MicroKey 25
While the 37-key version is the sweet spot for key real estate, the Microkey 25 can draw its power from just an iPad and is therefore the one we'd take with us. The elegant black keyboard has great, playable keys that we'd pick over say the classic LPK25.
With its Octave Up and Down buttons and a joystick for controlling the built-in arpeggiator the MicroKey 25 doesn't feature too many bells and whistles, but if you're looking for a good set of keys to start playing with, the MicroKey 25 comes out as a top, affordable choice.
If you're able to get hold of the all-black anniversary edition, then you definitely got a keeper.
Buy the Korg Microkey 25 on Amazon
Arturia MiniLab
When you are looking for more bells and whistles the Arturia Minilab might better fit your bill. With additional rows of drum pads and rotary knobs that you can freely assign in your favourite Core-MIDI apps this may very well be the all-in-one controller you can pair with your iPad.
While the wooden sides and the pad layout might not be everyone's cup of tea, this keyboard remains a popular choice among iPad musicians. Maybe it's the touch-strips for pitch bending and modulation or the programmable memory presets.
For a price of below $100 it's another solid choice.
Buy the ARTURIA MiniLab on Amazon
Novation Launchkey Mini
Another keyboard that has it all is the recently released Launchkey Mini by Novation. While also doing a good job as a clip launcher in Ableton, the Launchkey Mini is really tailor-made for the iPad, especially when paired with Novation's Launchkey and Launchpad apps. These apps work seamlessly with their controller counterparts which makes for a great experience.
Of course you're free to use the Launchkey Mini with any of your favourite apps. What's great is that unlike the Launchpad Mini, the pads on the Launchkey do have velocity sensitivity, so you can put some expressiveness in your finger-drumming.
Buy the Novation Launchkey Mini on Amazon
Keith McMillen QuNexus
And now that we're on the topic of expressiveness, it's a good time to mention the QuNexus from Keith McMillen. The Smart Sensor Keyboard controller gives you multiple modes of expression. Not only through velocity, but finger pressure (with polyphonic aftertouch) and tilt control are also recognised.
With the QuNexus you're able to grab an expressive synth like Animoog and be in full control of everything, allowing you to play it like no other keyboard can.
Add to this the extra in- and outputs for CV/Gate and this is the true geek-keyboard out of this list, which is also reflected by the price.

Did we leave out your favourite iPad MIDI keyboard? Let us know below.

2000 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Coupe RWDReview
Great 4th Gen Camaro — It is a flyer! I recently sold my 69 Corvette 427/390hp 4 speed coupe and I know this Camaro would have blown its doors off in a head-to-head drag race. It is probably the fastest and quickest car I have ever owned. I have taken it to the drag strip on three occasions just for grins and it amazed me with its performance. This basically stock car, on street tires, ran a very respectable 13.44 sec. @ 107.43 mph in the quarter mile. That with 2.73 rear gears, set up for highway cruising. Can't imagine what it would have done with 3.42s. It still runs like a big hoss. Great acceleration to get on the highway or just to put a smile on your face.
Primary Use: Commuting to work
Pros: This is a great car with real V8 power that delivers 20 mpg in a commuter role and 26 mpg on the highway. I've owned it since it was new and never had to use the original warranty because nothing went wrong with the car during that time. I've since replaced one door speaker and one window motor. All the car has required is regular oil/filter changes (I use Mobile 1 full synthetic), fresh tires (it has very high rubber Kumhos on it now) and brakes.
All of these cars have a nasty habit of warping the front rotors in normal use. I have replaced the front rotors twice in the past due to warping. The car will probably need new front pads (and maybe rotors) soon (the rears were done recently), and I would recommend using cross drilled rotors for better heat dissapation. The car has another Camaro common problem with the BCM (body control module). It has a crack in a solder joint on the PC board that occasionally (depending on the ambient temperature) will expand causing the radio and the power windows to fail. I have the info on how to re-solder the joint, but it wasn't bad enough to cause me to dig the B

2000 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe RWDReview
Silver Queen Camaro — My girl is a beautiful looking car for this generation of Camaro. The 2000 is still in the outstanding sleek and classic build that makes Camaros so popular and allows them to look turbo-charged whether driving down the road or sitting in the driveway. This particular car has an understated powerful engine under the hood (California Covert Package) yet she gives nothing away at the light. No loud glass-packs, no give away that this girl can take your silly 5.7 Mustang for a walk with no problem.
Primary Use: Commuting to work
Pros: Beautiful looking car this generation of Camaro. Sleek lines, classic build that looks fast whether driving down the road or sitting in the driveway. Powerful under the hood (California Covert Package) yet gives nothing away at the light. This car can suck the paint off anything it passes on the freeways. The car is easy to maintain by yourself for everything except heavy duty maintenance, and yes I'm a girl. The handling is super, very low center of gravity keeps you on corners even at above suggested speed. The fatter than normal back tires allow for great grip on warm or hot roads. Braking is great too, you have four disc brakes, no more drums. The acceleration on the Covert package is amazing! Takes the 6 cylinder up to the performance of a big 8! This Camaro is a California car so it has a bunch of emissions equipment on it. But, I will say, the gas mileage is spectacular! I found I use just as much gas in a 4 cylinder Subaru as I do in this Camaro.
Cons: I am the original owner and nothing has ever annoyed me too much to complain about in over 14 years. I will say that a Camaro, whether new or older, is not a good car for the Northern climates. I used to live in Upstate New York and there, we called Camaro's "hockey pucks" on the road in winter. Those fat back tires are murder in the snow and you cannot get skinny tires for a Camaro! You have to be conscious in rain too when you brake but as long as you are NOT breaking the sound barrier, the car will eventually stop.

2000 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe RWDReview
Avoid — All show no go! OK handling, good braking, very poor acceleration. No major repairs in just over 90,000 mi. Gas mileage was poor18 - 20 average mpg. Looked neat but function was sorely lacking. Very small trunk, and when the rear seats were folded forward, for more room, every thing was on display for the whole world to view. Car was fun to look at, not to drive. This car was grossly under powered, it probably would have even gotten better gas mileage with a V8.
Primary Use: Family transportation
Pros: Don't drive it, just sit in it and look good.
Cons: The engine!

View clinical trials related to Abortion.Filter by:
The correlation between dysmorphic uterus and infertility still remains enigmatic. We aim to evaluate the reproductive outcomes of metroplasty via office hysteroscopy in unexplained infertile women with dysmorphic uterus with comparing a group of unexplained infertile women performing 6 months spontaneous cycles plus 3 cycles controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intrauterine insemination by randomized trial.
This study aims to explore patient, support person, and health care providers' experience and satisfaction with social support in the abortion procedure room. Although some providers do allow a support person in the abortion procedure room, no study has formally examined the effects of this practice. If this study demonstrates higher patient satisfaction and lower perceptions of pain and anxiety levels in patients who have social support in the in-clinic abortion procedure room, this could change standard procedures in the in-clinic abortion procedure room, allowing for more positive patient experiences.
This is a research study to measure the effect of digoxin injection on Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) procedure duration. Digoxin is the most commonly used feticidal agent among family planning subspecialists, and is commonly used for a variety of reasons including provider preference, patient preference, and concerns over legal status of later D&E procedures. There have been several studies on digoxin administration, adverse effects, and impact on the D&E procedure, but doctors want to clarify how digoxin effects D&E procedure time, if at all.
Pregnancy loss in the second trimester is not uncommon. About 2-3% of pregnancies will be lost in the second trimester, which is much lower than in the first trimester. Once a pregnancy reaches 20 weeks gestation, less than 0.5% will end in a fetal demise. Congenital fetal abnormalities and maternal anatomic factors as immunologic factors, infection, and thrombophilia should be considered; however, a reason and its result connection may be difficult to be established. Cervical incompetence means that the cervix is weak and unable to remain closed during the pregnancy. While cerclage may provide a degree of support to a 'weak' cervix, its role in maintaining the cervical length and the endocervical mucus plug as a mechanical barrier to ascending infection may be more important. Cervical cerclage is performed usually in women with a history of mid-trimester abortion or spontaneous preterm birth due to cervical 'incompetence', with the aim of preventing recurrent loss. Cerclage is a commonly performed as a prophylactic intervention used by most obstetricians despite the absence of a well-defined population for whom there is clear evidence of benefit. Furthermore, there is little consensus on the optimal cerclage technique and timing and type of suture placement. The Progesterone is known to have an inhibitory action on uterine contractility and is thought to play a main role in the maintenance of pregnancy until term. Progesterone is also able to modify the ultrastructural organisation of the myometrium by inhibiting the gap junctions, and preventing muscular contraction. Different routes of administration of progesterone have been described in the literature. These include weekly intramuscular injections from 16 to 20 weeks through to 36 weeks and daily vaginal progesterone suppositories from 24 weeks to 34 weeks of gestation. A recently published Cochrane review further confirmed the beneficial effects of progesterone in infant health following administration in women considered to be at increased risk of preterm birth due either to past history of preterm birth or when a short cervix was identified on ultrasound. However; most of these published studies have been conducted to test the effect of progestational agents for the prevention of preterm labor not miscarriage. Doppler ultrasonography is use to evaluate blood flow. In the field of perinatology, Doppler ultrasonography has been used to assess fetal well-being, especially in intra-uterine growth retardation and fetal anemia, and it plays an important role in managing of these conditions
The abortion considers the most common cause of fetal demise all over the world. The majority of cases occur in the first trimester.The termination of abortion may be by medical or surgical methods, however; the surgical methods represents the greater part of termination. Therefore, the safety of this procedure is a worldwide public health concern . Many clinical studies have been reported the safety of surgical evacuation in the first trimester. The suction-aspiration or vacuum aspiration are the most common surgical methods of induced abortion. This consists of removing the fetus, embryo, placenta, and membranes by suction using a manual syringe or electric pump. However; these technique always need cervical dilation before aspiration. The menstrual extraction does not require cervical dilation and can be used in very early pregnancy. The surgical evacuation is generally considered safe, however; short-term complications are reported due to need of dilatation of the cervix and incomplete evacuation because the surgeon is the only one who can decide the end of the operation depending on his subjective sense. However; with continuous ultrasound guidance, the process could be almost complete because the ultrasound can accurately identify the direction and size of the uterus, position of the gestational sac, observe the insertion of surgical instruments and the advancement of the operation especially when the configuration of the uterus is distorted. At present; ultrasonography is not considered to be an essential pre-requisite for abortion in all cases so our study aims to detect if complete evacuation can be achieved by ultrasonographic assistance or not. We also tried in this study to compare the operative time, amount of blood loss and the occurrence of accidental uterine perforation during the procedure with and without use of ultrasound.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether a mobile phone intervention can be effectively used to improve post menstrual regulation contraceptive uptake and continuation in Bangladesh. The study will consist of two phases: Phase I: A formative phase to understand barriers to post-abortion contraceptive uptake and continuation and the content and modality of messages most appropriate for women in the study areas; and Phase II: An RCT will be conducted to test the effectiveness of the mHealth intervention developed during the formative phase on contraceptive use.
The purpose of this operations research study is to evaluate women's interest in and compliance with using a semiquantitative multi-level dipstick pregnancy test at home for medical abortion follow-up.
Currently, there is very little research to identify ways to decrease blood loss during D&E (dilation and evacuation) procedures. The objective is to determine whether routine use of intravenous oxytocin will improve bleeding outcomes at the time of D&E at 18-24-weeks gestation. To evaluate the hypothesis, investigators will perform a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. The patient will be followed until discharged from the postoperative care unit during which time patient satisfaction, pain score and postoperative bleeding will be assessed.
The purpose of this project is to remove barriers to obtaining contraceptive methods, including the most effective and expensive methods. The study seeks to remove the financial and knowledge barriers and promote the most effective contraceptive methods to reduce unintended pregnancy rates at the population level.
Primary: To compare rates of immediate postabortal LARC uptake between women exposed to a brief, theory-based, video intervention prior to standard contraceptive counseling and women exposed to standard counseling alone. Secondary: To identify predictors of immediate postabortal LARC uptake among all participants including the role of: - Demographic and reproductive health history variables - Baseline decisional balance, self-efficacy and stage of change for contraceptive initiation

random picture I took of the mask that I bought for the Masquerade party I went to last friday, unfortunately I didn't manage to open the know anymore and had to cut the band in order to be able to take it off.. hopefully I'll find a way to fix that, though!
Gaaaaaaaaaahh I'm so so sorry for the terrible update this week, but school work is literally coming out of my ears (okay not literally but you know what I mean). I have a math test and biology prebac next week, a small geography test tomorrow and history and geography prebac the week after.. and then I'm off school for two weeks. Finally. I even went home earlier today in order to at least start studying math, even though I will definitely spend my entire weekend studying :(
I'm gonna try out a new pasta recipe I discovered yesterday when my family comes home and then I'll revise a bit for tomorrow and relax! Have a nice evening xo

Firm Overview
More than 85 Years in the Industry
Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., LPA was founded in 1930 as Gardner & Spilka, a practice that focused on assisting local banks and retailers recover debt. In the mid 50's, when Maurice Weltman became a partner, the name changed to Gardner, Spilka and Weltman. With the addition of Maurice's son, Robert ("Bob"), the Firm continued to grow as a creditors' rights-centered practice. In 1979, the Firm became Weltman, Weinberg and Associates Co., L.P.A., in recognition of the significant contributions made by Alan Weinberg. Alan had built up and led the legal side of the Firm, while "Bob" had done the same on the collections side, and their partnership resulted in the successful integration of law firm and collection operations – a unique business model still in effect to this day. The Firm adopted its current moniker of Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., L.P.A. in 1994 due to Allen Reis' success in establishing and growing the Firm's presence in Central Ohio. Today, the Firm is run by its third Weltman managing partner: Maurice's grandson, Scott.
Full-Service Provider of Creditors' Rights Solutions
Weltman is a nationally-recognized, full-service collections firm with more than 65 attorneys and 650 total employees.

We offer our clients a convenient, single source alternative to using multiple law firms and agencies throughout the country, and work with each client individually to set specific objectives and strategies for each business portfolio before developing a recovery program to fit those defined needs; this may involve agency services, legal services, or both. We are licensed and bonded in all U.S. states and territories necessary to facilitate upfront traditional collection matters*. Our agency offerings include a variety of letter campaigns, call programs, skiptracing, asset location services, among others, and we are often able to resolve matters without incurring the costs, time, and risks associated with litigation.

Robust Compliance & Security Programs

We are committed to conducting all business in accordance with the highest legal, ethical, and moral standards, and have developed comprehensive operating procedures, tracking tools, and training programs in support of this commitment. We closely monitor and routinely audit the actions of employees, network attorneys, and third party service providers to ensure they meet or exceed all state and federal laws and regulations and our clients' requirements. Each and every one of our employees receive mandatory compliance training, at hire and on an ongoing basis. Additionally, protecting sensitive client information is paramount. Our goal is to always ensure we operate in a manner that protects the Firm, our clients, and their consumers from any undue risk. Learn more about our security programs and credentials here.

Marlon Brando's favourite self-help guru is returning to TV and this time she's hoping to net a world audience via a Jewish TV station.
Hanala Stadner's weekly cable-access broadcasts in Los Angeles in the 1980s and 1990s became a must-see for acting legend Brando, who attempted to woo the TV counsellor, and steal her away from her husband.
Stadner, who adopted the name Susan for the show, ended her health, fitness and advice broadcasts in 1999 to concentrate on a writing career, and superfan Brando was devastated.
But now the Canadian has been persuaded to return to TV – as the host of new advice show Traumedy Central With Hanala on satellite channel Jewish Life TV.
"The show is being beamed all over the world – to Israel and even to the former Polish ghetto where my parents come from," she says.
But Stadner admits she'll miss the late-night calls from her most famous fan.
She adds: "He told me he used to watch the show and video it and then watch it again in slow motion with the sound turned down because he liked the way my lips moved. We became great friends and he even invited me to join him for a holiday on his island in Tahiti but my husband didn't like that."

Most authors classify themselves as plotters or pantsers, but I don't consider myself either. I call myself a "pitcher". The very first thing that I do when I have a book idea is to… write the jacket copy. I know, I know. That's supposed to come last, but go with me here.
Writing the jacket copy (or the query, which is essentially the same thing) shows me the real essence of the story: who the main character is and what makes her or him unique, what the conflict is, and what the stakes are. It sharpens my focus and gives me a reference point as I build the plot. If I can keep these touchpoints in place as I brainstorm or draft, I know I'm going to end up with the story I wanted to tell. It also helps me set the tone for the story—is it going to be fun and light (for me, yes, almost always!), creepy, dramatic, heartfelt? These are all decisions that crystalize while writing the jacket copy/query.
I happen to be one of those rare unicorns who likes to write queries, but if you hate them with the fire of a thousand suns, you can also short-cut this method by creating a word cloud.
Brainstorm words that relate to your story. These can be literal (location, hobbies of main characters), tonal (romantic, sweeping, dark) or thematic (trust, assertiveness, self-awareness). Next, paste these words into Wordle to create a word cloud. Here's one I created for my summer release, a Hollywood romance YA called Map to the Stars:
Pro hint: If you want certain words to show up larger than others, include them multiple times. In the case of this story, both MCs need to learn to become their authentic selves in a Hollywood environment that doesn't always honor that—I wanted that word front and center in my mind to influence all my plot decisions.
Tape this up in your writing space to reference as you draft or plot. Are you sticking with your key elements?
Activity Two
Write a one-sentence pitch for your story. It all boils down to this: what is the central concept that will hook your reader?
Here's an example from You're Invited, a MG series I co-write with the lovely Gail Nall:
A Babysitter's Club for the next generation, You're Invited follows four tween friends as they start a party planning "company" out of their abandoned-sailboat clubhouse… only none of the parties go to plan.
Check back in as you plot: Is that concept staying front and center in your story?
Activity Three
Expand to the full query. For example's sake, below I've posted the "fake cover copy" I wrote before starting The Sleepover, a middle grade standalone I have coming out next summer. Using this copy as a touchpoint while I wrote allowed me to stay focused and on target enough so that, when my editor sent me the final cover copy this week, I had to laugh at how much of that original, before-I-wrote-one-word-of-this-story concept stuck in place throughout the entire process.
Original Pitch for The Sleepover:
In this (PG-rated) tween version of The Hangover, Meghan, Paige, and Anna Marie are super excited for the Best. Night. Ever. The sleepover they're planning can be nothing short of EPIC. There will be junk food, there will be crazy-scary horror movies, and there will be karaoke smack-downs. Not even the last minute addition of Anna-Marie's socially awkward, soon-to-be-stepsister Veronica can dampen their spirits.
But nothing prepares them for the scene that greets them when they awaken the next morning: the basement is a disaster, Paige's left eyebrow has been shaved off, Meghan's "pillow" is the prized-possession skateboard of the class rebel who lives next door, and- heavenly heckweasels!- what is the deal with the slew of baby chicks in the bathtub!?
Worst of all, Anna-Marie is missing. As in completely and totally gone-zo. Now the remaining girls have to piece together what exactly happened the night before, in the hopes it will lead them to their missing friend before the parents arrive for pick-ups. If she's not waiting safe and sound when that doorbell rings, heads will roll and their social life as they know it will cease to exist. Trouble is, none of them can remember anything of the prior evening past that hypnotism trick performed by the two-bit magician Veronica arranged in an effort to impress the other girls.
The clock is ticking, the clues are weird and weirder, and one thing is certain: last night got a lot wilder than karaoke and make-your-own-sundaes…
Final Cover Copy for The Sleepover
Twelve-year-old Meghan and her friends Paige and Anna Marie are ready to have The. Best. Night. Ever. There will be junk food, crazy-scary horror movies, and karaoke smack-downs! Not even the last-minute addition of Anna Marie's awkward, soon-to-be stepsister Veronica can dampen the girls' spirits.
But nothing prepares them for the scene that greets them the next morning. The basement is a disaster, Meghan's left eyebrow has been shaved off and she has the Class Bad Boy's hoodie, plus there's a slew of baby chicks in the bathtub! Worst of all, Anna Marie is missing.
Now the remaining girls have to piece together what happened the night before. There's just one tiny problem: they can't remember anything past the two-bit act by the hypnotist Veronica hired as the party's entertainer.
Can they find Anna Marie and pull off the ultimate save-face . . . all before parent pick-up time?
Check back in as you plot. Obviously you can veer off course as needed, but is the main character "want" and why he/she can't have it staying in place?
