5. Internet Services
5.1This clause applies if we provide Internet access services to you.
5.2You must not use a flat rate dial-up internet access account as a permanent connection. We can at our discretion disconnect you if we consider that your use of our internet access service has been excessive or unreasonable.

Accordingly we are not responsible for any inaccurate, illegal or offensive information which may be obtained from your use of our services. We are also not liable for any viruses or other harmful code which you download via the internet.
6. Broadband services
6.1This clause applies if we provide broadband internet access services to you.
6.2Our plan speeds are the maximum speeds at which you are able to send data to or receive data from our network. Because we rely on other providers to deliver data to or from our network we are unable to guarantee that these speeds will be available to you. Other issues beyond our control (such as problems with your phone line, or in the telephone network) may also result in you being unable to connect, or to send or receive data at those speeds. We cannot guarantee that our broadband services will always be available or that they can always be utilized for any particular purpose.
6.3You are responsible for all data used over your broadband connection. VNET recommends that you have sufficient security in place to protect your network.
6.4If you are on an "uncapped" or "unlimited" plan the total amount of data you can upload or download is unlimited. We may use traffic prioritization policies for these plans and our capped plans at any time to improve the overall performance amongst our customers.
Other factors may influence the particular speeds or latency you can achieve to servers nationally and internationally. Our control of these speeds is limited to our own network. Connections to servers outside the VNET network are on a "best effort" basis and it may not be possible for you to achieve your desired or expected speeds or latency where you are connecting to equipment outside our control.
6.5If your phone line is disconnected for any reason, we will be unable to provide a broadband service to you and this will mean that you have terminated our agreement for the provision of that service. If services are reinstalled, even on the same phone number, you may incur installation charges.
6.6If you change your address or phone line you will need to:
a. provide us with a minimum of 10 days notice of the change to minimize service disruption; and
b. cancel all current broadband services to avoid unwanted charges, even if the phone line is no longer valid.
Services must be reinstalled on the new phone line and even if you are maintaining your existing phone number you may incur installation charges. We will not always be able to supply broadband services on the new line or to that new address in which case you will have terminated our agreement for the provision of that service.
6.7Broadband Fair Use Policy:Bandwidth allocated to unlimited data plan users is reviewed and increased as required, but at any time there is a fixed amount of bandwidth available. The aim of this clause of the Fair Use Policy is to ensure that the experience of the vast majority of users is not compromised by the extreme and unreasable usage of a few. Vnet reserves the right to modify (through speed and other variables) the behavior of individual users that frequently use significantly more data than the majority of the unlimited users and/or use their internet service in a way that negatively affects the experience of other users. If a customer is found to be in the top 1% to 5% of users and their usage is negatively impacting the network, Vnet may attempt to communicate with the user asking them to modify their usage, or suggesting a more suitable solution for all parties involved. If the excessive or unreasonable usage continues, Vnet reserves the right, at its discretion and without further notice to:
a.de-prioritise a user's access to the network;
b.apply charges to the user's account for the excessive and/or unreasonable element of your usage;
c.suspend or terminate the user's service.
6.8 Ultra VDSL speeds can vary widely depending on a property's location, the condition of its copper wiring and how busy the local copper network is at any given time of day and other factors. Find out more.

7.2You acknowledge we have supplied to you any equipment specified in your application form.
7.3You must return to us upon termination of this agreement all equipment which we supply to you. If the equipment need mail that the customer have responsibility for the charge. If you do not return any item of equipment to us within 30 days of termination of this agreement then you must pay us on demand the full cost of that item of equipment. You must also meet any repair or replacement costs if the equipment is damaged, lost or destroyed while under your control. In the case of faulty equipment, VNET will bear the cost of returning equipment for repair.
7.4If requested by us, you will sign a document which identifies the equipment we supply to you. You will also sign any other document and provide us with any other information which is reasonably necessary for us to register a financing statement in respect of the equipment we supply, in terms of the Personal Property Securities Act
8. Phone numbers and directories
8.1Any phone number that we allocate to you does not become your property. If we need to change your number we will give you as much notice of the change as we can.
8.2If you wish your details to be available through directory assistance and/or in the phone book then we will pass your name, number and address to Telecom. You agree that Telecom can use your details for those purposes.
8.3Subject to the terms of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you agree that no member of the Telecom group of companies (or their officers, employees, contractors or agents) has any liability to you in connection with the directory assistance service or your phone book listing.
9. Term
9.1If you have agreed to use a service for a fixed contract term, then you must do so. For services where there is no fixed contract term, or where the fixed term has expired, either of us can terminate that service on giving the other 30 days notice. Where you wish to terminate a service you must do so through the "Support" section of our website.
9.2We can terminate this agreement, or the provision of any service to you, immediately if you breach any term of this agreement or if we reasonably believe that you have supplied incorrect or misleading information to us.

All charges are monthly basis and it is to be charged one month in advance. If you terminate service(s) in the middle of month, the monthly fee charged in advance is not refundable.
10. Liability
10.1We exclude all of our liability to you in connection with us providing services to you or failing to provide services to you. Without limiting this, we are not liable to you (and nor are any of our officers, employees, contractors or agents liable to you):
I. if any communication you make is intercepted;
II. if any communication you make is not properly transmitted or received;
III. if any of our services are not available at any time or are faulty;
IV. for any delay in commencing the provision of services;
V. if any software we supply does not operate properly;
VI. for any error in any directory listing which we arrange;
VII. (for internet customers) if your computer becomes affected by any virus or worm.
10.2We are not liable to you for any fault in or non-provision of services which is caused by an event beyond our reasonable control.
10.3If you use another service provider's services during any period when our service is not fully operational, we are not liable to pay any amount you are charged by that service provider.
10.4You acknowledge that no third party whose network or services we use to supply services to you (nor any officer, employee, contractor or agent of such third party) is in any way liable to you in connection with our services. This clause is intended to confer a benefit which those third parties can enforce.
10.5Nothing in this clause limits any rights you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act.
11. Disconnecting or restricting services
11.1Only one account can be made per one customer unless the customer requires a separate account for business purposes. However, multiple products can be purchased which will provide the flexibility for customer to subscribe multiple services that are derived from one account.
11.2All the products are maintained by an account. All the products that purchased from the same account are not independent. This implies that all the services from each product will be affected by the account status. For example, if there is an outstanding balance from the account, entire services of each product that are purchased from an account can either be disconnected or be restricted.
11.3If you do not make the payment before designated date or meet any responsibilities you have with us, we may disconnect or restrict any service at any time. For example, we may put a toll bar on your phone. However, we will try to contact you prior to above action.
11.4If you do not make payment for 0900 call fees that had been charged to you or made from your phone through the VNET networks, we may also, at any time, suspend or restrict your function to make 0900 calls or suspend or restrict any service we have been provided to you.
11.5When we disconnect a service for these reasons, normal charges will not be applied from that date (because you will not be able to use the service). A disconnection fee may also be applied. You may have to pay a reconnection fee before you can use the service again. When we restrict a service, you will be able to continue to use the restricted service and normal charges will be continually applied in that case. We may also temporarily disconnect or restrict any service if we think it is reasonable or necessary (e.g. to work on the VNET networks). Normal charges will also be continually applied in that case.
11.6There is a penalty of $30 will be applied for each suspension of certain services. These services include landline, mobile and broadband service.
12. Giving up or ending services
12.1You may give up any service, e.g. Call Diversion, by calling Customer Services. If you wish, you may give up all services permanently or temporarily, for example, for seasonal business. Either way, the agreement you have with us will remain in place.
12.2We may decide to stop providing a particular service under special circumstances such as Grandfathered services or certain services that are affecting bad influence to our end users. Under these special circumstances VNET has right to stop any service at any time when it is required.
Before we stop the service, related users will get notified maximum of one month prior to the full termination. This ensure for end users to have sufficient time to think about the changes and make right decision. VNET may offer alternative services that are currently available. If your contract has not expired, termination fee will not be applied while changing to other service or transfer to other provider.
12.3If you decide to close your Vnet account before your contract is up (and we hope you won't want to!) you'll just need to pay an early disconnection fee.The amount will depend on the type of deal and contract you signed up for that will be $199 for ADSL/UFB or $299 for VDSL.
13. Privacy
13.1You authorize us to pass personal information to credit reporting agencies for the purpose of credit checking. You also agree to us obtaining and passing personal information about you to credit reporting agencies. This information will be used to update and maintain credit information files and will be accessed by the customers of the credit reporting agency.
13.2You also agree to us passing personal information about you to a credit reporting agency in the event that you default on your payment obligations.
13.3Any personal information we collect is kept at our offices at Unit 3, 7 Reeves Road, Pakuranga, Auckland. You are entitled to see any information we hold about you (although you must pay our reasonable charge for making it available) and to request that any incorrect information be corrected.
13.4We may record calls you make to us to verify information and for staff training purposes.
14. Changing these terms
14.1We can change these terms from time to time by giving you 14 days' notice. We will inform you of any change by emailing or writing to you, by putting a notice in major daily newspapers or by providing relevant information on our website. Our latest terms and conditions are available at www.vnet.co.nz.
15. Notices
15.1Except where you wish to terminate our services (in which case you must follow the procedure in clause 8.1), If you wish to notify us of anything you can do so by writing to us at Unit 3, 7 Reeves Road, Pakuranga, Auckland or by calling 09 533 6666. We may require you to confirm in writing any advice you give us by phone.
15.2If we wish to communicate with you or notify you of anything we can do so by post, phone, facsimile or email to the last known address or number we have for you.
15.3If your contact details change you must advise us of the new details as soon as possible.
16. Other matters
16.1You must not assign your rights under this agreement. We can transfer our rights and obligations under this agreement to anyone else. We will notify you if we do so.
16.2A delay in exercising any right is not a waiver of that right. A failure to exercise a right on any occasion does not prevent any subsequent exercise of that right.
17. Vnet Reasonable Residential Use Policy
Vnet has developed the following Reasonable Residential Use Policy to describe permissible uses of its service, and to prevent exploitation, fraud, and abuse of its unlimited plans and features. This policy is applicable to all Vnet residential services.
Reasonable Residential Use
Unless Customer purchases Vnet Small Business Plan, Customer acknowledges that he or she has purchased residential services and features under one of Vnet's plan offerings ("Plan") for Customer's personal, residential, non-business and non-professional use. Customer agrees that Vnet's residential service is intended for use by Customer and his or her immediate family. If your Plan allows you to extend the service or feature(s) to one or more mobile, land or VoIP numbers, such use is also considered to be use under the Plan and subject to Vnet's Reasonable Residential Use Policy. Impermissible Use(s)
Each of the following is considered to be outside normal residential use:
- use by or for others who are not members of Customer's immediate family residing in Customer's home
- business use of any type, including home office businesses
- operating a customer care, support or call center
- resale to others
- auto-dialing or fax/voice blasts
- telemarketing
- all other non residential uses
Monthly usage which is 30% higher than the average usage by Vnet residential customers is considered unusual and excessive usage and is subject to evaluation by Vnet. In addition, usage involving specific numbers called, average call durations, forwarding and transferring, conferencing and unusually short duration calling may, constitute impermissible use(s) of Vnet Plan services.
Based on these factors, Vnet may determine that abnormal, unreasonable or impermissible usage is occurring, and may take appropriate steps described below to enforce this Reasonable Residential Use Policy.
For Lawful and Appropriate Purposes Only
You may not use our service or devices in any way that is illegal, fraudulent, improper or inappropriate. You may not use any automated means to manipulate our service or use our service to violate any law, rule, regulation or any third party's intellectual property or personal rights. This section and Vnet's enforcement provisions shall apply to all Vnet Plans, including, without limitation, the Vnet Small Business Plan.
Vnet's Enforcement of its Policies
Vnet reserves the right to review and evaluate all customer accounts and to take action if an account is outside of its Reasonable Residential Use Policy or involves impermissible, detrimental or unlawful use. Vnet may assess abnormal usage based on comparisons to the usage patterns and levels of our other customers. If any customer's use is determined by Vnet, in its sole discretion, to be outside of its Reasonable Residential Use Policy, Vnet reserves the right to transfer the customer's account to an appropriate business Plan, charge more appropriate rates for actual usage or to suspend or terminate service with or without notice. If any customer's use is determined to be unlawful, Vnet will immediately suspend or terminate the service with or without notice. Vnet will notify all proper authorities of any illegal use of Vnet's service and will cooperate with all such authorities regarding investigation and prosecution. Vnet hereby reserves all of its legal rights.
Vnet reserves the right to change its Reasonable Residential Use Policy at any time without notice. Any such changes shall become effective when posted to Vnet's websites.

Totem HD 720p 2017 Movie Free Download ,Totem HD 720p Film ,Totem HD 720p 2017 Movie Download ,Totem HD 720p Movie
The actors did a great job from what I could tell. The director, Marcel Sarmiento, is well known for Deadgirl, which I have not seen but many where hopeful he would top. Although Marcel is credited for writing the story, the story and screenplay was written by Evan Dickson, of which it is Evan's first feature film.
The movie starts off with an interesting premise and held my attention the first half. The cinematography is fine but later it becomes obvious they were working with a limited budget.
Two-thirds into the movie things start to go awry and although the pace picks up I felt the story gets more unbelievable not just in decisions that are made but with distractions that make it obvious there might have been editing issues.
The saving grace is there is a twist at the end that most people would not have seen coming but it was not enough for me to say it is a must see unless you are a fan of the actors or the director.

85, 85, 83, 82, 80, 81, 83, 80, 79, 77.
Those numbers represent predicted highs from today over 10 days. This is NOT a good thing. More on this in a moment.
Meanwhile, it was back to the rigors of a full, 8.79 km, campus walk today. I'm still taking it slow, trying to recuperate from a nagging and rather disgusting mucosal aftermath of a cold virus. I slept this afternoon after running a few errands one of which involved smogging a vehicle so I wasn't on foot this time. By sleeping I don't mean napping, I was out for a few hours. This related to AM coughing waking me up when I'm really not ready. Nevertheless, slow and methodical on the walk, taking every opportunity to pause, look around and try to find a photo op.
There weren't many.
85º brings out a winter dragonfly. I don't recall seeing dragonflies last winter. I believe this is a Variegated Meadowhawk.
Another angle. Try as I might I could not get close enough to this guy (I think it's male) to get a shot with my close-up attachment and I was maneuvering around in some territory where tree & bush branches plus some nasty agave weren't very accommodating.
The plant, by the way, is dried up silver sage remnants left over from summer. Fresh growth on the silver sage is coming in nicely already.
Anybody waiting on a package?
Back home. Every few days now I see a new flower popping up from the seed I scattered in October. I lost a lot of seedlings during a few days of December frost. It's hard to believe now that just a month ago we had dipped down to the upper 20ºs. I ended up ordering another 1 lb, two different 1/2 lb mixes, of wildflower seed today to try and offset my losses.
Arriving today. Baby Snapdragon, Linaria maroccana.
and about to open, Arroyo Lupine, Lupinus succulentus.

Few things make me happier than when a client experiences a huge shift in how they view their business after working together. My job as a designer is to capture the essence of the client's personality and business voice and translate that into a visual brand that is memorable and unique.
With that, I'd love to take you through the process of rebranding She Dares.
She Dares is an adventure community designed to connect you with like minded women and share unforgettable experiences. It is within the mission of She Dares to not only facilitate opportunities for you to connect with others in a whole new way, but to also create a safe space that allows you to feel comfortable enough to step outside of your comfort zone and try new things with the intention that it will translate into you making more daring decisions in your life and being a bolder of yourself.
While the She Dares mission is energetic, bold and inspiring, Danielle felt there was something missing from her website visuals. She built her site herself a while back and wasn't able to capture the true essence of what She Dares is all about. I was more than happy to help her finally get that excitement she was looking for!
It was clear that bold and energetic was the way to go, so of course we incorporated impactful elements and bright colors to match her vibrant personality.
We picked option 3, but there were a few minor things to revise before making it the final logo. While the font for "She" was originally a handwritten scrip to give the logo some femininity, we felt it didn't quite stand up to how bold "Dares" was. We definitely wanted to keep the feminine quality of the original design, but we wanted to give it some more weight.
We also decided to add a 3D effect to the overall shape to given a bit of extra dimension and make it even more dynamic.
The next order of business was making sure that Danielle had attention-grabbing business cards. We wanted people to receive her cards to immediately feel the energy and vibrancy She Dares stands for and feel excited to have the cards presented to them.
We found a great graphic of a girl in mid-jump that when added to the logo have it that extra oomph we were looking for.
As for the website, we made sure that we showcased women gathering and having a great time together. Dani is an expert at making it easy for people to get to know each other and always has fun ice-breakers at her events (and not just any ol' ice-breakers mind you, everything is a fun and daring experience at She Dares!)
The site gives visitors a change to learn more about what She Dares has to offer. We included a photo gallery that pulls up images she posts to a specific album on her Facebook page to show everyone how much fun the She Dares woman is having.
Additionally you have access to upcoming events and the latest updates from Dani through her blog.
In addition to her logo and website, I worked on a newsletter template for her MailChimp mailing list and social media graphics so she can share fun quotes that inspire her with her followers.
Another fun thing I was able to create for Dani, was this Team She Dares T-Shirt. Dani challenged herself to enter Mudderella (a Women only mud run and obstacle course) and not only did she join, she was team leader! We didn't end up using this shirt because it was hard to coordinate the order with everything going on, but I really liked how it turned out and I thought I'd share it!
Lastly, here are some kind words that I received from Dani after working together:
After working with Yari, I am so much more confident and excited to share She Dares with any and everyone! It feels amazing to hand someone a business card that sends them to a site that SO PERFECTLY CAPTURES the ESSENCE of what She Dares is all about. Now people GET it (what She Dares is about) more quickly and more accurately. They feel it right away and are more excited to be a part of it. Also, people now take She Dares more seriously, which has already led to bigger and better relationships with other businesses. It has also upped my own confidence and pushed me to take my business and myself as an entrepreneur more seriously.
Nothing makes me happier than my clients feeling excited about their branding! I'm so thrilled to have been a part of this part of the She Dares experience!

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Tunisian Crochet and other Crochet topics.
Part of the reason for the decline in interest in Tunisian crochet probably has to do with the lack of standardization in the technique as well as in the name! This method of crochet saw its heyday in the late nineteenth century when, under the name "tricot stitch", many patterns for children's booties and hats were available. In the mid-twentieth century, the squareness and simplicity of the Tunisian stitch made a resurgence as making blankets and "afghans" gained in popularity. Today, this technique is making yet another comeback because it is so versatile and effective in bringing out the qualities of otherwise problematic yarns, like boucle and mohair.

About Us
Background & History
YARD was incepted on the 1st October 2015 as the brainchild of the Founder and current National Coordinator, Temba Peter Mliswa. This formation was brought about as a result of his experiences as a former member of the Zimbabwean ruling party, ZANU PF, which saw him rising through the ranks and culminating at Central Committee and Provincial Chairmanship level, his further exposure as a legislator in the capacities of
Member of Parliament for Hurungwe West and the Chairperson for the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee for Education, Sports & Culture and finally as an Independent Candidate for Hurungwe West.
These experiences, in conjunction with the heinous cases of violence perpetrated upon the innocent electorate and the reprehensible police indifference to reports made that was witnessed by Temba in the run-up and during the Hurungwe West by-election of June 2015 where over 5,000 (five thousand) youth were turned away from polling stations, opened his eyes to a huge gap that he noted in relation to youth knowledge, participation and representation in the electoral process in Zimbabwe. These cases of reported violence in Hurungwe West were subsequently investigated and reported on as factual by the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission ref #s: ZHRC/CI/38/15 (preliminary and final reports of the same numbers) and ZHRC/CI/33/15 (pertaining to the invasion of Temba's Spring Farm in Karoi). This dismal lack of youth participation and representation is despite the fact that the youth comprise up to 60 (sixty) % of the total population and therefore their future is heavily dependent and affected by the outcome of elections and subsequent decisions made. This, in summary, is what prompted Temba to establish YARD.
"Youth should be given the chance to take an active part in the decision-making at local, national and global levels." – United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon.
This statement is the foundation that Y.A.R.D. is premised on. Y.A.R.D. is an apolitical, non-profit organisation targeted at the mobilisation of Youth in advocating for electoral reforms and their active participation and representation in the economic and political landscape of Zimbabwe. The following are some of YARD's specific objectives:
1. To promote the active participation of Youths in Nation building by engaging and educating the youth on the importance of voter registration and participation during elections through the implementation and facilitation of strategic, on-going nationwide voter education programmes.
2. To lobby and advocate for the legislated, proportional participation of youth in local and national elective offices thereby promoting youth representation in local and national policy formulation and decision making.
3. To actively promote the observance of human rights, democracy and the security of persons in Zimbabwe.
4. To capacitate current and potential Youth leaders with leadership, grooming, etiquette and diplomatic skills.
5. To commence a process of communal healing and tolerance through fostering group based, social integration processes such as sports.
6. To develop innovative educational opportunities to support improving the Youth experience in the economic and political landscape in Zimbabwe and to ensure affordable education for all Youths.
7. To prepare for the repatriation of youths, skilled and unskilled and ensure that a national re-orientation plan is in place.
8. To prepare for the re-orientation of youths from the informal to the formal employment sectors.
YARD is a wide networked organisation with a national and international footprint, having set up structures in all the ten (10) provinces of Zimbabwe from National, Provincial, District, Constituency, right through to Ward levels and internationally by establishing executive committees in the Diaspora through its Committee Member for External Affairs. Each executive committee comprises of twelve (12) portfolios and YARD has a current youth membership running into the tens of thousands which is growing daily at a phenomenal rate.
"No-one is born a good citizen; no nation is born a democracy. Rather both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts
To create a tolerant, sustainable and enabling environment where all Zimbabwean youths from diverse backgrounds may have the opportunity to actively participate in the electoral and decision making processes by facilitating and imparting educational, capacity building and leadership development initiatives and lobbying and advocating for proportional representation in elective local, national and international office.
To create a platform for the youth to galvanise their influence in policy formulation in order to ameliorate the social, political and economic plight of youth. This is to be achieved through the pursuance of YARD's objectives and evaluated every five year electoral cycle.

I keep on trying to repeat the process again and again. I even used another set of the same version of an installer, but it did not work. I even reformatted my machine in the hope that there is some virus lurking on my system, but still I did not succeed.
I am now desperate in figuring out what might be the problem, I am even thinking of changing it to Postage SQL, but as much as possible I want to use MySQL. What might be the cause of this error? Could somebody out there help me with my situation?

Carven in Action
Paris Fashion Week Day Two

Moving a label's image forward – whether it's your own or an existing brand – is one of the stories of the Summer 2015 Paris season. Three designers flexed their muscles, pulling heritage brands into the now, while keeping a clear path to the future. Paco Rabanne, Roland Mouret and Carven.
"Sporty, graphic, spontaneous, speedy, dynamic – and a tonic," said the designer Guillaume Henry, neatly summing up his Spring/Summer 2015 Carven collection.

As the models strode the yellow gym mat of a runway, walking at high speeds, a tailored coat trimmed with snakeskin and a square sports bag squashed under the arm, they looked energetic, but not aggressive. These were just those nice, fresh young Carven girls with a bit more vigour.
The subtle change is that the Carven image, which was, quintessentially, young French women from a polite Paris neighbourhood, has now extended across the world. And especially to the East, it seems, with dense patterns that resembled Japonisme drawings from the eighteenth century. There was also the bold label on the front of one dress, which translated as "Carven" in Japanese.

Since everyone is mad for sport this season – or at least the sporty look – the collection was both energetic and cute. The models walked out, long hair flying, belts at high waists and the occasional jacket with trousers or slim dresses, going back to the label's Paris roots. The red, blue and yellow primary colours were lively, especially when mixed with white.
Guillaume has done a fine job over just five years, creating a fresh image for a brand that was stagnating. It is still French chic in an idiosyncratic way: a short-sleeved coat trimmed with python down the front edges was an example. Sporty stripes slicing down the front of a simple dress were symbolic of the designer being on the straight track to international success.
But it was all still instinctively Carven. The way to sum up Guillaume Henry's elaboration on a theme for spring 2015 was, as ever, "charming". And now that the brand is going global, should that word be "kawaii"?

Screening, timely diagnosis and inequalities in breast cancer survival - an investigation of differences by ethnicity and deprivation

Background Previous research has found inequalities in breast cancer survival by ethnicity and deprivation. The impact of screening on these differences in survival has not been studied. Linked datasets and new analytic techniques are used in this study, which aimed to examine ethnic and deprivation-specific survival for women with screen-detected and non-screen-detected breast cancer, in order to establish whether there are disparities in the presence of a well-established screening programme. Methods We used cancer registry data from a centre of excellence, the West Midlands Quality Assurance Centre, linked with breast screening records, Hospital Episode Statistics and mortality data up to 2012. We analysed women aged 50-70 who would have been invited for screening continuously from around their 50th birthday onwards and who were diagnosed with breast cancer between 1989 and 2011 (N=20,283). Self-reported ethnicity data was 90% complete. We then imputed ethnicity for the remaining 10% using name recognition software. Ethnicity was categorised into the three main groups: Asian, Black and White. Deprivation was assigned on the basis of the woman's postcode. We applied either the Townsend score for 2001 or the Income Domain of the Index of Multiple Deprivation for 2001, 2004, and 2007. The score most contemporaneous to the woman's date of diagnosis was used. Results are reported for grouped categories of: less deprived (quintiles 1 and 2) and middle/more deprived (quintiles 3-5). We estimated net survival corrected for lead time bias and overdiagnosis. We used ethnic- and deprivation-specific life tables to correct for background mortality. Results Although Black women showed consistently lower overall net survival from breast cancer than the other groups, no significant differences in survival were found for the different ethnic groups. Survival by extent of disease was similar for all ethnicities. Adjusting for deprivation, there were no significant differences for Asian or Black women although Black women from the more deprived groups displayed a survival disadvantage. For the White group, where numbers in all deprivation groups permitted robust analysis, clear deprivation differences were found in five-year net survival: 90.0% (95%CIs 89.2%-90.8%) in less deprived groups, but 86.6% (95%CIs 85.9%-87.4%) in the more deprived. Screening benefitted all ethnic and deprivation groups with no evident ethnic differences within screening categories. Whether screen-detected or not, women in lower deprivation categories had significantly poorer survival, with a difference of 16% in five-year survival between less deprived women who were screen-detected (94.0%, 95% CIs 93.1%-95.1%) and more deprived women who were not screen-detected (78.0%, 95% CIs 76.7%-79.2%). Conclusion We estimated up-to-date net survival from breast cancer among ethnic and deprivation groups by screening status using newly-developed life tables. The three main ethnic groups differed little in their experience of breast cancer survival. While screening conferred a survival benefit to all, there were still wide disparities in survival by deprivation. Further research should examine the underlying reasons for these differences, in particular whether earlier diagnosis could improve survival among the more deprived groups

We're putting together a list of the ATP members' favorite hand tools. Nominate your favorite tools this week, and soon afterwards we will have a special vote where the members will decide which are the ATP Favorite Hand Tools. This is going to be a fun activity.
Jan 18, 2016 7:06 PM CST
|This cart is a must have tool in my garden. It is another 'back-saver' when it comes to lifting and hauling. It is especially good for transporting vegetables from the gardens for cleaning, processing and storage. I've had it around for probably 10+ years; it holds about one or two bushels, and can be used for a number of other jobs outside the garden. It is made of a tough fiber/polymer and has held up nicely with all its service. These pictures illustrate some if its uses.

|Hi JP,
I've had this so long that I can't remember exactly where I bought it. I think it was from our True Value hardware store here locally. We are still using it as of 2016 for any number of jobs. As you can see in this picture it is a little "banged up" but very much usable.
Here is a link to their on-line web page with their current listing of some carts. But I do not see one like mine.
I am editing this post to add the following:
@jimmiemcca A warm welcome to ATP; I see you are a new member here. So please make yourself at home and be at ease. You will find this site above and beyond in quality, friendliness and helpfulness.
Again, a very warm welcome!

Richard Zoglin's revelatory new biography of Bob Hope makes staggering claims for its subject.
Is it enough to say that "for the way he marketed himself, managed his celebrity, cultivated his brand and converted his show business fame into a larger, more consequential role for himself on the public stage, Bob Hope was the most important entertainer of the century"?
No, it's not. Zoglin adds that "one could argue, without too much exaggeration, that he was the only important entertainer."
This unabashedly ambitious book also makes much of Hope as inspiration, public citizen and inventor of the stand-up comedy monologue, the kind he delivered when hosting the Academy Awards, which he did more than anyone else has.
"No one ever looked better in a tuxedo," Zoglin hyperbolizes.
Why, then, is Hope so seldom thanked for all he contributed to American life? Why do stand-up comics forget to mention him as the great pioneer?
How did Hope start in vaudeville, entertain his way through the changing show business styles of the 20th century, become all-powerful (including in the Southern California real estate market) and then ignored?
It's a great, forgotten story, and Zoglin provides a definitive version. Sure, it's hyperbolic at times, and even defensive about Hope's bad judgment once it starts to torpedo him. But Zoglin sees a great, gifted performer who gave the world endless amounts of hilarity, generosity and showbiz savvy.
And it seems to pain him viscerally when Hope casts a shadow over his own achievements. This book is so enveloping that it's hard not to share some of that pain.
Born in 1903 in Eltham, now a suburban district of South East London, Hope spent his first four years in England and grew up, as Leslie Towns Hope, to be the most troublesome of his mother's six sons.
After the family immigrated to the United States and settled in Cleveland, he wound up in reform school, which was not part of his official studio biography once he became famous.
The first talent he displayed was a gift for dancing. By 21, he had a job in a vaudeville show called "Jolly Follies," where he began performing with a male partner and introducing jokes and wisecracks into their acts. He was handsome and debonair enough to make a smooth segue to Broadway when vaudeville began to die.
Then came a long apprenticeship, and the start of a lifelong habit of catting around with women. (Having starred with Ethel Merman in "Red, Hot and Blue," Hope later confessed to having had sex with her "in doorways all the way up Eighth Avenue."
It didn't change all that much after he first saw Dolores Reade singing "It's Only a Paper Moon" in a nightclub. She would later tell their four adopted children not to believe articles about Hope's philandering. She also lied to protect him from the press.
Officially, they were married for nearly 70 years, but Zoglin's intensive research finds a first wife to whom he was secretly married when he proposed to Dolores, and no solid proof that he and Dolores were ever legally married. In any case, she knew exactly what she was getting into, and she wanted it.
Hope moved from radio to movies to television. He made an immensely popular string of road movies with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour, beginning with "Road to Singapore" in 1940.
According to Zoglin, these are the best buddy movies ever made (despite that the two men did not like each other). This claim sounds ridiculous until, as with many of the book's brassy assertions, you start trying to challenge it.
And after much experimentation, he created a persona for himself that would work in these forms and in live appearances: timely, smart-alecky, intimately engaged with his audiences, responsive to whatever they needed to hear.
When Hope began making his tireless USO tours to entertain homesick soldiers overseas in World War II, he took along the right cheesecake co-stars, sang the songs the soldiers wanted to hear and raised their morale, even if he sometimes made them weep.
He had endless topical verses, tailoring the lyrics for individual audiences, whenever he sang "Thanks for the Memory," his hauntingly beautiful yet jokey theme song. One of the least-remembered things about Hope is how well he could sing when he wanted to.
His own personal war effort may have been the high point of his life. When he wasn't overseas, he was rallying crowds at home to buy war bonds and otherwise make sacrifices for the cause. (He continued to entertain troops through the Persian Gulf war.)
Although he had much in common with his fellow Midwestern comic Johnny Carson — detachment, coldness, a taste for sudden cruelty — he did not have Carson's selfishness, says Zoglin, himself a Kansas City transplant to New York.
He showed up where he was needed. He wrote touchingly to fans. The book includes a beautiful, never maudlin letter he sent to a dying child.
If he had ended his career before Vietnam he would have been a beloved American hero. But Hope lived past his 100th birthday and kept performing long past the point at which he could be funny.
His vehement, conservative politics were held against him by angry protesters during the Vietnam era. His efforts to acknowledge the differences between that war and World War II fell flat: From then on, he became unfunny and out of touch.
On Woodstock: "Since the dawn of man, that's the most dandruff that was ever in one place." On AIDS: "Have you heard? The Statue of Liberty has AIDS. Nobody knows if she got it from the mouth of the Hudson or the Staten Island Ferry."
How could nostalgists miss him when he wouldn't go away? Every big birthday meant a stiff, codgery NBC tribute to Bob Hope.
Talented young performers didn't want to be seen on these things, and more and more of his contemporaries were ailing or dead. Movie art houses declined to give Bob Hope films the treatment they gave the Marx Brothers, although Zoglin's book might help correct that oversight.
And his family members remain involved in trying to burnish his legacy and bring back the best of what he achieved. Zoglin's fascinating book is a big contribution to their cause.

Palm Sunday, Hoots, Getting Into Shape, and More
Palm Sunday is a really big deal in my church, actually Easter in general is. It's one of the most historic and important. It's our holy week and "Palm Sunday is the commemoration of the entrance of our Lord into Jerusalem following his glorious miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead. Having anticipated his arrival and having heard the miracle, the people went out to meet the Lord and welcomed him with displays of honor and shouts of praise." They also through "palms" and that's why they call it Palm Sunday.I am proud of my Greek Orthodox faith and my Greek heritage. This next week is Holy Week and on Friday "Good Friday," signifies Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. The midnight service in my church is my favorite, because we yell at midnight "Christ has risen - truly he has risen." It's a beautiful service with lit candles and a huge Greek feast afterwords for those who gave up meat for Lent. I'm not sure if I'm going this year, but I will be sure to send a lot of prayers this week. I was happy when my Yiayia (Grandma) brought over Loukoumades from church today :) They are one of my favorite Greek pastries!!! Friday was my good friend Lexi's Birthday celebration. She is such a good friend, and I love hanging out with the Greek girls! We went to a restaurant called Epic. Pretty good if I might add, but not as good as her little Owl Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats! Her older sister Nicole made them (she loves owls), but how adorable are they? Delicious too. My cousin and our friend Katie did the SLC Marathon yesterday - 15 miles and they still managed to look so cute!! I need to start working out more, not just to look good, but to get healthily as well. I just realized I really don't like working out. I miss Greek Dancing because it kicked my butt into shape. And certain other things I like to do to work out as well, but running is not one of them. I cannot believe the semester ends in 3 weeks. Not too happy with the way math went.. especially because I think I need to retake it, oh well I'm actually "graduating" in the summer anyways and taking another class, but student teaching has gone fantastic!! I'm walking in three weeks, so that's the exciting part. I hope things start looking up in my life :) I'm trying so hard to be positive and it sucks I have to work at it and try to be happy... but that's how it's going to be for a while and I have accepted that. I am happy to report that I did buy Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 yesterday after a fabulous day out with my mom that we get to do so rarely. I haven't watched it yet, but after all my homework is done today, you can bet your bottom dollar I'm going to be spending the evening with Ronald Weasley!!! OH and a special shout out for my daddy- HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! I know he is having a wonderful time... he's in Mexico with my family. Of course our Spring Breaks didn't match up. FML haha. Oh well he deserves this vacation as they all do. xo.

text: Gabriel Hartley professes to "think about painting in a sculptural way," as illustrated by his canvases on which "the paint becomes a material like plaster," as he describes. Characterized by optical effects, bold linear brushstrokes, impasto, and elemental forms, Hartley's paintings are notable for fusing dichotomies: depth and flatness, gloss and matte, painterly and photographic, and two- and three-dimensionality. For instance, in creating Pout (2010)—a gray-scale abstract painting referencing African masks and early Modernism's experimentation with abstraction and perspective—Hartley added spray paint to the oil-based image to "give a light source and show the different excavations within the paint." He works in the tradition of early-20th-century British painters including Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell, and Roger Fry, as well as the post-war Abstract Expressionists.
