While Place-based media is great as a sales & marketing tool, another important and effective way it can be used is to communicate, educate, and inform the general public about health and safety. This post explores the myriad applications of place-based media in the healthcare industry.
Emergency Communications
Community-based digital signage is an interesting way of conveying information when there is some sort of health or safety scare, such as the SARS outbreak that originated in Hong Kong in 2002, or the H1N1 flu epidemic that started in Mexico in April 2009. Using a service like ScreenScape, various public service organizations are able to educate the general public during the course of widespread illness by informing everyone what to do to help prevent further outbreaks. Health clinics, hospitals, airports, and other such institutions would be able to quickly educate travelers and others about what they need to know to prevent panic, but also to ensure that people are doing everything possible to help contain illnesses.
Promoting a good cause
There are many non-profits and other organizations out there using digital media to promote a good cause and ultimately to help others. Canadian Blood Services (CBS) is a good example. CBS uses the ScreenScape Community to circulate media content that promotes its blood donor clinics. Feel free to opt in to a CBS video so that your ScreenScape display runs these blood donation messages as well!
Waiting Rooms
People spend a lot of time in waiting rooms, whether in hospitals, at a doctors clinic, optometrist's office, or even while waiting for a prescription to be filled at a pharmacy. Often times, these people may have a cold or flu, and as a result, the magazines and other reading material in waiting areas are probably covered with germs. A great alternative would be to have a screen that displays entertainment, news, weather and other relevant items to prevent patrons from having to touch something a sick patient just touched.
Also, this is a great opportunity to raise awareness and educate those waiting to see a physician. The Hearing News Network (HNN) gives a prime example. HNN delivers dynamic, current and contextually relevant content, customized for hearing healthcare professionals and their patients. It enables healthcare providers to accomplish more in terms of patient education while making better use of the time that patients spend in a clinic. At the same time it creates an opportunity for clinic owners to generate additional revenue by participating in a revenue stream associated with local, regional and national advertising partners. This can lower or offset the total cost of delivering healthcare solutions and offer savings that can be passed on to the patient.
Place-based media to Communicate, Educate, and Inform
In summary, place-based media has myriad applications in the healthcare sphere. It can be helpful for preparedness planning, informing the public of emergencies, or as a preventative measure by having media that promotes education and awareness surrounding various health issues. It can also provide an additional way to engage and educate the general public.

Notes: The Education Participation Scale--Modified: Evaluating a Measure of Continuing Education
Citekey: @dia05education
Dia D, Smith CA, Cohen-Callow A and Bliss DL (2005). "The Education
Participation Scale-Modified: Evaluating a Measure of Continuing
Education." Research on Social Work Practice, 15(3), pp. 213-222.
This article evaluates the Educational Participation Scale–Modified (EPS-M) developed by O'Connor (1979, 1982) in the context of social work.
It has a nice literature review of subversions of EPS.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the measurement model and theory underlying the Educational Participation Scale–Modified (EPS-M) using confirmatory factor analysis. A probability sample of 225 licensed social workers in Maryland completed the mailed survey. The findings support a six independent factor model. Results also support the EPS-M as a valid and reliable measure for identifying motivational orientations of social workers who pursue continuing professional education. Professional knowledge was the most frequently reported motivational orientation. Implications regarding social workers' motivational orientations and the design of continuing professional education activities are discussed. (p. 2)
There have been multiple versions of the EPS: 1. The original version was published in 1971 by Boshier with 48 items and a 9-point scale. 2. In 1976, a modified version of the EPS was developed, which had 40 items and a 4-point scale (Boshier, 1976). 3. O'Connor (1979, 1982) modified the original EPS scale by adding a 0 end point denoting no change, creating a 10-point scale. O'Connor also added 8 additional questions to bring the total number to 56 questions. 4. Boshier (1991) developed a new scale (Form A) with 42 items. The EPS-Form A was correlated with the original EPS scale (Boshier, 1991). 5. Garst and Ried (1999) used the original EPS scale and created another modified version EPS with 43 items and a 5-point scale citing Mergener's doctoral dissertation. (p. 3)
The EPS-M (O'Connor, 1979) scoring criteria were selected for several reasons, which were primarily empirically based. The subscales' internal consistency reliabilities were better, and there were no alpha if item deleted problems in this sample compared with alternative scoring methods (Boshier & Collins, 1983). Additionally, the scale has been used with a professional population participating in continuing professional education, which is similar to the population and educational activities in this study (O'Connor, 1979, 1982; Thomas, 1986). A more recent study by Garst and Ried (1999) also chose a modified version of the original EPS over the EPS-Form A. (p. 3)

Back in Luxembourg
Saturday, 28 July 2012
Hello you guys! I'm back in Luxembourg, which I am partly happy, but mostly not that happy about after all. I really apologize for the terrible update, but I thought I'd rather spend my time in Estonia with my boyfriend than on blogger, since I won't get to see him for a whole month now..
However, I brought back a suitcase filled with new clothes and a camera with hundreds of pictures!
I'll pop in a photobomb with (lots) of picutres from my trip in now and then and I'll probably make a haul to show my buys, since that's what most of you people voted for :)
I'm off to get ready now though, going to have dinner at friends' place, see you!

What to Bring
For Yourself, we suggest:
Please note, your support person must bring his/her own supplies – including pyjamas – for their stay as well.
For Your Baby:
Please Note, Pacifiers and nail clippers are not provided. If you do bring a pacifier, you must sterilize it at home as there is no ability to sterilize it at the Health Centre.
The IWK Health Centre promotes and supports breastfeeding. We will help you make informed decisions about your choice of infant feeding. Your health care team is here to support you and provide you with the best possible care for you and your baby.
There are three types of rooms available: private, semi-private (two patients per room) and ward (four patients per room).
The Nova Scotia Department of Health (MSI) covers the cost of a ward room, so there is no direct charge to you. There will be a charge for private or semi-private rooms unless it is covered by your private insurance. It is important to understand that many women choose to have a partner or support person stay with them, so it can become very crowded in a semi-private or ward room.
Please consider what type of room you would like as it is very difficult to move patients around after they have been admitted, due to a large patient volume and increased birth rate. We will attempt to give you your first choice of room when you arrive, however we cannot guarantee that your specific request can be accommodated.
Caring for You and Your Baby - Post-Partum Unit
You and your baby will be cared for by many members of your health care team using something called a 'care path.' A care path accurately records all care provided to you and your baby from the time of birth to when you go home and eventual discharge from postpartum care in your home. After you give birth, your health care team will work together with you and your baby to help determine when you are ready to go home – this means when you are able to care for both yourself and your baby.
In many cases, you and your baby will be ready to go home safely in one day (if you've had a vaginal delivery) or within two to three days (if you've had a caesarean section) of giving birth. Before you leave the Health Centre, if you live within the HRM, you will have a pre-dis¬charge consultation with a Public Health nurse, who will provide follow-up care and support (including breastfeeding support) for post-partum moms. The nurse will check both you and your baby, answering any questions or concerns you may have. Your family doctor, Public Health nurse or nurses at the Health Centre are available for continued support and guidance in the days and weeks to follow. If you live outside of the HRM, Public Health will make contact when you are at home regarding your follow up. Public Health contact numbers are available on the Resource pamphlet that you will receive while in hospital. If you don't receive a pamphlet, just ask your nurse for a copy.
Prior to discharge you will be shown (and receive to take home) a DVD on the Period of Purple Crying. The purpose of this DVD is to provide new parents with information on what normal infant crying is and teach coping skills to deal with crying. The intent is to prevent incidents of Shaken Baby Syndrome.
As well, your nurse will also show you a discharge teaching DVD – which will provide information regarding what to expect upon your return home. You may also watch the discharge teaching DVD on line at: http://youtu.be/vyZRvEbtDhY
In some cases, the care team may decide, based on your care path that you and/or your baby are not ready for home. If you are ready for home, but your baby must remain at the Health Centre for further treatment, you will need to be prepared to find accommodations outside of the health centre. The nursing staff will provide information on local accommodations, like the Ronald McDonald House.
Car Seats
At this time, the IWK Health Centre does not rent car seats.
When leaving the Health Centre to go home, your baby needs to be placed in a rear-facing car seat.
You can visit www.childsafetylink.ca or call 1-866-288-1388 or 470-6496 for a car seat clinic near you or for additional information.
Please note: Infants must remain in a rear-facing car seat until they reach 22 lbs and one year of age. Children should never be turned forward before age one, even if they weigh 22 lbs or more. All car seats and booster seats must have a sticker with a maple leaf on it to be legal for use in Canada. This sticker is called the National Safety Mark. If a seat is only for children less than 22 lbs, the sticker will have CMVSS 213.1 on the outer edge. If it is a seat for children from infants up to 30 or 40 lbs, it will have CMVSS 213.1 and 213. If it is a seat for an older child over 40 lbs (a booster seat), it will have CMVSS 213.2.
A word of caution: Before using your car seat, make sure there are no missing parts and that it fits properly in your car. Your car seat must be a CSA approved car seat and it is important that you learn to put the car seat into your vehicle before you have your baby.
You are now able to apply for for MSI, Child Tax Benefits and Birth Registration at a kiosk right on the unit. The Provincial Vital Statistics Act requires that all children born in Nova Scotia be registered.
Together, you and the IWK Health Centre are responsible for registration of your birth. You are encouraged to complete the birth registration documentation before you leave the Health Centre.
If you complete the information via the kiosk, it is forwarded to Vital Statistics who then prepare a birth certificate. Please note, the IWK does NOT issue birth certificates.
You have 30 days to complete the "birth registration." Joint request forms are required if parents are not legally married and you wish to register the baby in the father's last name. This form can be completed while you are here, however both parents must be present. Forms can also be completed within 30 days of the baby's birth. This form can be completed when you are discharged by going to admitting, taking a number and any registration clerk can complete the joint request form. If you have any questions you can email the staff at email@example.com
Going Home
On the day you and your baby leave the Health Centre, please make arrangements to depart before 11:00 a.m. Small carts are available to help you move your suitcase and other personal belongings. If you must wait for a drive/pick-up later in the day, you will have to wait in the patient lounge.
Approximately 375 breast surgeries will be performed annually at the IWK, with approximately 3,000 visits to the Breast Health Clinic.

An infusion of millions of additional dollars in federal funding and a compromise with the airlines to move forward with building only one new runway for now gave Mayor Richard Daley the breakthrough agreement he desperately sought to keep alive the expansion of O'Hare International Airport.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on Monday at O'Hare announced a $1.17 billion deal that splits the "completion phase" of O'Hare expansion into at least two parts.
It ensures some work will continue this spring as Daley prepares to leave office, but the O'Hare project either will likely drag on for many years or end abruptly after the next piece.

Chekov isn't impressed at the advertising campaign embarked upon by the Bill of Rights
forum Consortium, nor is he convinced that they will actually do anything new. Newt isn't a fan either.
One in three kids here live in poverty. Thats why we need a Bill of Rights. So declares a major new advertising campaign from the taxpayer-funded Bill of Rights Forum. Where do you even start with such arrogance? First, the claim that one in three children live in poverty is politically-loaded nonsense. Second, if the forum believes that the Bill of Rights will address poverty then it has already pre-judged the inclusion of economic and social rights, although it was on exactly this point that the last attempt to draft the bill collapsed. Third, what right does this quango have to spend public money promoting its hard-left policy agenda?
I used to write and get paid, now I read and don't.

"In 2002, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, the same disease that took my mother's life. Fortunately, I was treated and made a full recovery, but I vowed to never let recovery be the end of my battle," explains Ouidad
New York, New York (PRWEB) August 24, 2016
Ouidad champions the fight against breast cancer, announcing the company's 2016 charitable campaign in support of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). For the past 14 years, Ouidad's Curls for a Cure foundation has committed 100% of its fundraising dollars to BCRF and has donated nearly half a million dollars to date. This year's program aims to push the fundraising envelope even further to fuel the advancement of breast cancer research in the hopes of, together, finding a cure.
"In 2002, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, the same disease that took my mother's life. Fortunately, I was treated and made a full recovery, but I vowed to never let recovery be the end of my battle," explains Ouidad, the founder of the 'curl experts' haircare line known for its professional curl education program, extensive product range, and bi-coastal prestige salons.
Inspired by Ouidad's own experience with the disease and the loss of her mother to breast cancer, the company fundraises year-round through Ouidad.com and Flagship salon sales of its KRLY® Kids product collection, which includes: No Time For Tears Shampoo, No More Knots Conditioner, Pump & Go Spray Gel (retail prices, $15 each). Ouidad donates $1 from each KRLY® Kids purchase to BCRF, in the hope that someday, no child will have to lose a parent to this disease. Additionally, throughout October, with any purchase of Superfruit Renewal Clarifying Cream Shampoo from Ouidad.com, $2 will be donated to BCRF.
Ouidad also matches dollar-for-dollar any donations made to its Curls for a Cure foundation, up to $50,000 per year.

For one thing, Lol was still a member of the band at this stage. Would he have really played on a song that was basically attacking him?
Also, Robert Smith seems to have been really negative towards Tolhurst in interviews since the court case (understandably). I wonder if that is an example of this?
Perhaps there's a few different interpretations of the song... whenever I listen to it, I can't help but feel it's about self-loathing... but, really that's just a possible interpretation of the song.

Lol played the sitar sound / percussion samples on a keyboard according to an article in Keyboard Magazine...
Must have been an Emulator because there's that "Engima - Sadness Part1" Shakuhachi sample on this track too...muffled and played low in the mix.

The Arkansas General Assembly passed the Electric Consumer Choice Act of 1999 (Act 1556) to provide for the introduction of retail competition in the electric utility industry by January 1, 2002, but no later than June 30, 2003. Act 324 of 2001 amended Act 1556 to change the earliest implementation date for retail electric competition from January 1, 2002, to October 1, 2003. The amendments to Act 1556 of 1999 were the result of recommendations by the Public Service Commission in its Progress Report to the General Assembly on the Development of Competition in Electric Markets and the Impact on Retail Customers, submitted on November 29, 2000. The specific amendments to Act 1556 included changing the date for initiating retail competition in Arkansas from January 1, 2002, to not earlier than October 1, 2003, nor later than October 1, 2005. The amendments to Act 1556 clarified that the Commission may delay implementation of retail open access upon findings that most customers would not have a reasonable opportunity to realize net benefits, specifically including relative price benefits for residential and small business customers, and that demonstrably effective wholesale market structures are not in place. In its Report to the General Assembly Pursuant to Act 324 on the Development of a Competitive Electric Market and Possible Impact on Customers, submitted on December 20, 2001, the Commission recommended that the General Assembly consider either a complete suspension of the current statute for a considerable period of time, perhaps going out to 2010 or 2012, or repeal of the statute.

I decided that the time was right for me to zoom out of Ryan's apartment. I left quickly and I turned to face him. He was standing just inside the door with nothing on but his white underwear. He looked perfectly chiseled. He represented an adult world that I did not understand at all. I left his apartment feeling a bit ashamed and confused. But I was happy that nothing else happened.
I thought Ryan was just a friend. I thought he just wanted to have me over for a snack. I didn't understand that he wanted to eat me for a snack. At that time I was incredibly, absolutely naive when it came to sex and boys. I didn't even know that the phrase, "Do you want to go to my apartment?" meant "Do you want to fuck?" I had a lot to learn.
I harbored no bad feelings towards Ryan and he took the blow well. He apologized to me the next time I saw him at the agency.
Later on, at Cleo's, I met a handsome 21 year-old American artist. He had a bob haircut, just like June. The first time I met him I remember thinking that he was sort of a phony. He seemed very into his ideas. He was jaded, full of vitriol and thought of himself as someone who suffered more than the average person. He did not suffer financially, as he was from a wealthy family in Los Angeles. He seemed to hate everything that Los Angeles represented: cosmetic surgery, fake smiles, drippy conversations, obscene wealth, celebrity worship and plastic friendships. He was very intriguing to me because he had such fierce opinions on everything. I got the feeling that he was a bit ashamed of his priveleged background. But mostly, I was in awe of him. He introduced me to Jack Kerouac, Wayne Thiebaud, the band REM, Antonin Artaud and a host of other amazing artists, writers and musicians.
I fell in love with him. He was unlike anyone I'd ever met. I think, looking back at this relationship, I wanted to be him. He resuscitated a dormant creative spirit within me and taught me all about life's priorities: art was number one and everything else came second.
I was not ready for his lessons, as I was just out of high school. I was still a virgin, which he respected. He never forced me to go beyond what I was comfortable with. I really loved him for that. He was the first man I'd ever let feel my chest. I still remember how awkward I felt. That was about as far as we went sexually. We spent most of our time kissing and talking feverishly about topics.. But I was not his equal. I felt a little stupid around him sometimes. This caused my ego to suffer. I was embarrassed about how much he was influencing me. I began to see the world through his tortuous, slightly contrived, artistic lenses. I loved him obsessively, completely. I wanted more from him, but I was only 18 years old. I had a feeling that when I went back to the US, our romance might end.
Then my modeling contract in Japan ended. I went back to Chicago to continue working as a model. I was miserable. I had started drinking while in Japan and I continued drinking. I was still in contact with the Artist and we agreed to meet again.
One day I cut off my long hair. I gave myself a short bob. My agent got really angry. She screamed at me, "Now we're going to have to re-shoot all your photos! How could you do this to me without asking me first?" I remember being scared but defiant. My Artist lover had changed me. He had infected every cell in my body. I didn't last much longer at Elite Chicago. My bulimia was still raging, I was cutting myself regularly, I was unhappy and I didn't know what the hell I was doing as a model. I felt that the modeling world was empty and vacant.
I was lost.
The big money wasn't making me happy any more. When I was in Japan, traveling on trains in the countryside, I remember wishing that I had a real purpose in life, just like the women I saw tending their rice fields. I wanted a purpose more than I wanted gobs of money.
At midnight on that same night I got drunk, I internally combusted and drove myself to Canada. I bought a map. I took only one suitcase. My other suitcase I abandoned in my apartment. I left a bunch of clothes and other belongings there. I didn't care. I drove all night until I reached the border. I decided that just like Jack Kerouac, I would take off and explore the world, starting with Canada. Canada was not the USA, it was a new place, a different place, a place I could just be myself, instead of being the property of Elite Model Management. When I got to Canada, I called my parents, told them that I was in Canada. Of course they were horrified. Then I bought a card for my agent. On it was pictured a Shar-Pei. It said, "Beauty is only skin deep." My habit of sending people weird stuff in the mail would continue throughout my life.
I traveled around Canada, exploring my passions like photography and I met a lot of interesting people. But after a few months, I got bored and felt like I was just treading water or waiting in line for something that would never be revealed. I still struggled with bulimia, too. I decided I was ready to go home to my parents' house. I was 18 years old. When I drove back to Kansas City, instead of driving to my parent's house, I drove straight to a psychiatric ward and checked myself in. I knew that I needed to get over my bulimia. I felt that wasting so much food was stupid since many people in the world were starving to death. I knew that bulimia had the potential to kill me if I didn't address my underlying issues.
At the psych ward, I enjoyed being around other anorexics and bulimics, and within some weeks, I recovered. I came to understand that the modeling industry was the main cause for my eating disorder. The other reason was tied to the sexual abuse I experienced as a four year-old. I was abused by a male teenage babysitter.
My most memorable moment at the hospital was meeting the girlfriend of the lead singer of Gwar. She taught me how to draw an ambiguous two-dimensional, double-themed form called a Rubin's vase. For some reason, learning this little artistic trick made my time in the hospital entirely worth it. The shrinks at the psych ward were mostly useless to me. My recovery really happened because I opened up to the other patients and got to share my experiences with them.
Talking about my experiences as a model became a sore spot because most people have no idea about the dark side of the fashion world. People just assume that modeling is full of sunshine, money and rainbows. For me, modeling represented a descent into illness, self-hate, and the devaluation of my soul. None of my managers overtly suggested that I should starve myself, but for me, that was the only way I could achieve the emaciated body that they told me I should have. Being a model was like being a slave. I did not enjoy being a slave.
If you are a parent, save your daughter a ton of pain and refuse to let her become a model. There are other, less soul and body damaging ways to earn money. I do not recommend modeling for anyone. The key points you need to learn from this section are: not all lucrative professions are going to be right for your personality, if you feel a strong dislike for a particular career, follow your gut and leave that career and don't cave in to what society wants you to do. It's more important to carve out your own unique path in life based on your internal strengths, creativity, aptitudes and personal preferences.

I've got to hustle a little bit today, so this'll be short. Highlights from Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson's news conference Tuesday.
1. Not surprisingly, a big priority will be keeping Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson contained. Johnson acknowledged that "we've struggled with mobile quarterbacks all year" and that that is Watson's strength, keeping plays alive and improvising to create big gains.
"We had him in our camp a couple times here," Johnson said. "He's a gifted athlete. He's a good player."
2. Johnson praised the Clemson defense, ranked No. 1 in the country in yards per play and also third-down conversion rate. (Tech is No. 1 in the country in third-down efficiency.)
"They've got probably six or seven guys up there that are really talented players on the defensive front," he said. "It's a veteran team."
Of Clemson's starting 11, seven are eight seniors or graduate students, including likely All-American defensive end Vic Beasley.
3. Quote of the news conference: "We're going to do what we do. Either we'll be successful or they will, but we're not going to throw the baby with the bathwater. Dance with the one that brung us. That's all I know to do."
4. An interesting insight into Tech's outrageous success on third down, where the Jackets are No. 1 in the country at 59.32 percent.
"The nature of the offense is, for a lot of teams, third-and-6 is a passing down," he said. "Not so much for us, and especially if we're thinking about taking two plays to get it. It limits blitzes. We've had some success running the ball against blitzes, i.e, the first series Saturday. It makes the other team a little more hesitant to jump in dime and nickel and all that stuff if you're not in third-and-forever."
5. Update on nose tackle Shawn Green, trying to come back from a knee injury suffered against N.C. State: "We'll see if he can bounce back and play. We may not know till Wednesday or Thursday. If he doesn't play, then we'll have to re-work. Pat (Gamble) plays inside and outside. We'll just try to get our best 11 guys on the field, whatever way that is."

Raise your glass to an exciting new twist on the mixology trend. Cocktail flavors are moving from the bar to back-of-house, in the form of glazes, salad dressings, sauces and condiments. Rather than a typical cocktail pairing (i.e. matching a beverage to a dish) it's about creating signature menu items that showcase the alcohol-inspired flavors within. Whiskey glazes and vodka sauces have been popular with patrons for years, but the newest alcohol-infused ingredients are more in line with craft cocktails than simply base spirits. Ready-to-use products featuring these flavor profiles simplify the development process, too. Desserts, grilled meats, seafood and fruit dressed with mojito syrup, a Manhattan reduction or a Paloma drizzle bring new life to traditional menu items. We'll drink to that!
Get inspired! We'll show you how to transform the flavors of popular cocktails into signature soups, appetizers and entrées in our latest video.

Pete is Project Janszoon's founding ornithologist and has been the person behind our first native bird re-introductions. He is pretty knowledgeable about lizards, tuatara, frogs and forest habitats as well.
His love of all things avian began when he started working with the Ecology Division of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research back in the 70s. His first job was managing the development of an atlas of bird distribution in New Zealand and he spent a lot of time liaising with bird watchers and ecologists who imparted much of their knowledge.
Research into birds living in stands of radiata pine forests brought him to Nelson in 1980. In the late 80s he was involved in campaigning for the formation of the Department of Conservation and he jumped ship to work for DOC in 1988. It was around that time that new predator eradication techniques were being developed for islands and he spent a lot of time in the Marlborough Sounds.
Pete says while eradicating rats and translocating species back onto islands was rewarding it was somewhat guaranteed and his work with Project Janszoon on the mainland will be a lot more challenging. He is up for the challenge though and loves the fact the project is breaking new ground in terms of scale.
Pete also works in the Sounds assisting with the ecological restoration of privately owned Puangiangi Island.

Questions about Co-Signers & Co-Buyers
When someone co-signs for a car loan they are obligated to pay if the primary buyer defaults on the loan. Typically parents, mom and dad, cosign for thier childs first car loan. A cosigner, however, does not have to be related. They can be a friend or associate, in fact, co-signers can live out of state. A cosigner can help you either get an approval or get a better approval. If the cosigners credit score is high enough the finance company may offer a better rate or extended term. When the lender looks at your ability to repay the loan they will not consider the income of the co-signer. It other words they will not add your income with the co-signers.
With a co-buyer the incomes are added together. Typically, co-buyers live at the same address and must be a relative or the spouse of the primary buyer.
Documents Required
Aside from a paystub, there is no documentation required for people with fair credit. Most fair credit approvals require zero money down.
For No Credit Score
In addition to proof of income, people with no credit score need proof of residence, a handful of personal references, and a working phone. Most no credit score approvals require $1,000 down payment, either cash or trade-in.
For Poor Credit / Bad Credit
The documentation required for people with poor credit is the same as no credit score buyers. Most poor credit approvals require $550 down payment, either cash or trade-in.
If you work full-time, you can get approved.

Club Sport Herediano (Spanish pronunciation: [kluβ (e)sport eɾeˈðjano]), commonly known as Herediano and nicknamed El Team, is a Costa Rican multisport club based in the district of San Francisco, Heredia. Although they compete in a number of different sports, Herediano is mostly known for its association football team. It plays in the Primera División de Costa Rica, the top tier of the Costa Rican football league system. Herediano are one of two clubs to have never been relegated, along with Alajuelense.
Herediano has its origins in 1918. The framework for Asociación Deportiva Club Sport Herediano was simmering since June 1920, with the appointment of an interim board with iconic figures like Manuel Joaquín Gutiérrez, Eladio Rosabal, Víctor Manuel Ruiz, Claudio Arguedas and Luis Valerio, but it was not until June 12, 1921 that the Herediano Charter was signed. In that same year, Eladio Rosabal Cordero becomes the first manager of the Costa Rica national football team, and Herediano player Manuel Joaquín Gutiérrez became the first scorer of the national team.
The club's first season was framed by a memorable event in world football, because Herediano managed to crown themselves national champions in 1921, the first edition of Costa Rica's top-flight league. Herediano established itself as a major force in Costa Rican football by winning 23 Primera Division titles
El Team plays its home matches at the Estadio Eladio Rosabal Cordero. Herediano's home kit is composed of red and yellow vertical striped shirts, with red shorts, accompanied by yellow and red socks. This combination has been used since 1929. Umbro are the kit manufacturers. Herediano holds many long-standing rivalries, most notably against Alajuelense, Saprissa and Cartaginés. It has contributed many key and famous players towards Costa Rica's FIFA World Cup squads such as Marvin Obando, Germán Chavarría, Claudio Jara, Mauricio Wright, Paulo Wanchope, David Myrie, Óscar Granados, José Miguel Cubero and Daniel Cambronero.Close

|Relativity, by George Chow
How I dare speak, when the world is strangers by God's silence. How I dare for more, when the world is friends by God's bless. Yet each of us might be in a different world. To dwell in our creator's hands and love. Is not all we need is a reason to understand, why others sin to me and some may fall as a sin. Yet the relativity only begins with love. To make the world for more bless. Is not to be kind to strangers, why friends knows what sins are and forgiven..

Ilika and Diverso agree partnership to develop new clean-tech opportunities in China
Ilika (LON:IKA) has hired a China-based clean-tech investment company
Diverso to develop new business opportunities in the People's Republic
of China. As Ilika's business development representative, Diverso will
be focused on the energy sector - with particular emphasis on batteries,
photovoltaics (solar power generation materials), hydrogen storage
materials and fuel cells.
Diverso is mandated to arrange and secure collaborative research projects or licensing agreements between Ilika and third party commercialisation partners in China. Under the terms of the partnership, Ilika will reimburse Diverso, based on the revenues it receives from third-party commercialisation partners.
"Diverso's proven expertise in introducing innovative technology to Chinese manufacturing partners is a great attraction to us ... we hope [the partnership] will unlock a major market for us. As an indirect shareholder in Ilika, Diverso's interests are directly aligned with our own as we seek to develop new opportunities in this important market", Ilika chief executive Graeme Purdy commented.
"Given its large and growing energy needs, China offers fantastic
opportunities for the company's energy sector capabilities."
Ilika, a Southampton University spin-out and materials developer, joined the AIM market last month, issuing 10.147 million placing shares at 51 pence each, raising £5.2 million before expenses, and has a market capitalisation of approximately £18.7 million.
Through the IPO, Diverso's Mackin Holdings subsidiary became a substantial shareholder in Ilika, and the company's admission document outlined the basis of the Diverso partnership. Diverso wil act on Ilika's behalf for an initial period of three years, and no upfront or retainer fee is payable.
"We believe Ilika's ability to rapidly develop novel materials suitable for the clean-tech sector is of tremendous value to companies based in China", Stephen Edkins, Partner at Diverso, commented.
"Ilika's proprietary R&D technology makes it extremely attractive as a source of expertise to highly efficient, fast-growing Chinese manufacturers. Growth in China's R&D spending has averaged over 20% annually, and with strong government backing we expect this trend to continue".
Ilika regards itself as an advanced clean-tech materials company, which accelerates the discovery of new and patentable materials using its unique high throughput technologies (HTT) process for identified end uses in the energy, electronics and biomedical sectors. This process enables hundreds of scalable materials to be made in a single, automated operation and subsequently tested for key properties.
Traditionally, materials development has been a slow and arduous task, with manual, sequential methods used to make samples of material that are then tested for suitability. On average, it takes between 7 and 10 years to move from an initial discovery through to the first commercial prototype. Experiments carried out by the company can be executed 10 to 100 times faster than using traditional techniques, Ilika said in its admission document.
The group's commercialisation strategy is to enter into joint development or licensing agreements with large multinational companies which are seeking to commercialise products developed using the intellectual property created through jointly-funded programmes.
Ilika generates revenues from three sources: licensing and milestone payments from joint development programmes; fee for service from contract research projects; and from sales of Cryoskin, an active treatment for burns and hard to heal wounds, and Myskin, an active treatment for difficult to heal wounds, using cultured cells from a patient's own skin.
The company focuses on three principal sectors and has a number of active development programmes addressing markets within each sector:
Energy: developing new materials for Lithium-ion batteries for vehicles for Toyota; developing high capacity hydrogen storage materials with Shell Hydrogen and Johnson Matthey through joint development programmes; developing cheaper alternatives to Platinum electrodes for use in fuel cells through a grant-funded project with the Carbon Trust; developing new materials for use in fuel cells for the transport sector for a major vehicle manufacturer; and carrying out in-house research on film photovoltaic solar cells.
Electronics: developing lead-free piezoelectric materials through a joint development programme with CeramTec; and developing phase change memory materials for high capacity memory chips and is currently in negotiations with a major electronics manufacturer.
Biomedical: developing polymers to enable the filtering of somatic stem cells from blood with a major global supplier of filters; it has been selling its Cryoskin and Myskin products for the treatment of burns and wounds in the UK through a specialist distributor and intends to commence clinical trials of its corneal bandage candidate.

OMG GUYS – I'm so excited! Today I'm sharing my first make-up tutorial EVER *hooray*! One of my favorite Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette looks so far. I've been practicing a lot last summer and extended my make-up stash big time, so I'm super ready and excited to make tutorials and inspiring video content.
A while ago, I wrote a review about this gorgeous palette. As you guys might remember, I had my NAKED 2 Palette customized in Paris by a very awesome street artist. Seriously, this palette is one of my best buys ever. I've been using this one almost everyday. I love to experiment with all the different shades and textures.
Many people have asked me how I create certain eye looks, so I decided the best way to show you is by making some tutorials!
Ok, to start off, I'm actually pretty nervous to share my first tutorial with the world. On the other side – filming and editing was so much fun! I am editing a lot for my study and work, but that is often very restricted editing. Especially news item need to be edited according to certain codes and conventions. Now, I can edit my material just the way I like it! I really hope you love it too. Please let me know in the comments below!
Enough rambling – here you go:

Topshop Gel Liner
Catrice Made To Stay Inside Eye Highlighter Pen 010
