Part 2 of 4
Supporters of initiative, referendum and recall generally regard them as counterweights to an elected legislature that is not doing its job. Conversely, direct democracy's critics tend to interpret it as too much of a good thing. This difference needs further elaboration.
Understandably, backers of direct democracy emphasize what they feel are its positive features. At the same time, the unpopularity of many state legislatures, reflected in opinion polls, provides additional motivation for change. Corruption, extreme partisanship and self-serving conduct are among reasons frequently cited for such sentiments.
For many critics, state legislators have become, in the words of one authority, a "near-permanent class of professional politicians." Newspaper editorials, doubtless reflecting public frustration, routinely rail against what they see as ineffective, even incompetent, legislatures. Such disapproval has become a particular staple of Pennsylvania journalism.
Clearly, these are perceptions, not indisputable facts. Still, they help to explain why people may be receptive to alternatives.
That said, what are the advantages of direct democracy? Researchers have concluded that legislative dynamism is likelier in states that employ the initiative process than in those that don't. Why? Knowing that an initiative is a probable consequence of inaction, legislators would rather get ahead of the process than cede control to the public. In non-initiative states, there's no such pressure.
Furthermore, those who have studied direct democracy believe that the system literally lives up to its name. The chance to be actively involved in the political process via initiative, as well as referendum and recall, reinforces the interest of citizens in governmental affairs. This can also have a positive impact on voter turnout, which is undoubtedly suppressed by politics as usual. In short, voters are more likely to feel that "government works" if they have a stake in it.
Opponents of direct democracy believe that it weakens the leadership of those who, through experience, understand political operations best. They feel it undermines representative government by reducing the independence of elected officials, threatening (via recall) their term of office and giving the legislature an excuse to sidestep controversial issues. They believe it can, especially through initiative, enact statutes that endanger the legal standing of unwelcome minorities. And they worry that special interests or demagogues can hijack popular issues for their own purposes.
Moreover, critics argue, since persons drafting initiatives are often inexperienced in the workings of the legislative process, the result is sometimes bad or even unconstitutional law. Referenda are, in their view, often similarly ill-advised. The larger problem, they believe, is that many voters are uninformed about the nature of complex political questions and are unwilling to take the time to learn about them. Another criticism is that initiatives can be passed without serious attention being given to how they will be paid for.
And regarding the recall process, there's the risk that a single issue or one's personal dislike for an elected official could lead to unseating an individual for wholly unjustified reasons.
These are real concerns that need to be taken seriously. Nevertheless, in this writer's opinion, the advantages of direct democracy far outweigh its disadvantages. Indeed, most of the judgments leveled against it can be effectively countered by subjecting them to close examination. The fact that legislatures have long coexisted with initiative and referendum suggests that they aren't mutually exclusive. There is in fact evidence that legislatures act more responsibly when these procedures are in play. The potential threat to minorities is offset by existing federal and state civil rights laws, and by the courts, which have repeatedly shown a willingness to protect vulnerable populations.
Furthermore, there's no reason why proponents of initiatives can't be strongly encouraged to consult with legal and political experts so that their measures meet acceptable standards of quality. Similar guidance should be available with respect to funding. And there are viable ways in which voters can be educated impartially with regard to the implications of specific initiatives and referenda. This is not to deny that the potential for the abuse of direct democracy exists. But there are reliable ways of keeping it in check.
What has been the experience of those states where these methods are in effect? How well do they work in practice? And is it time for Pennsylvania to think seriously about adopting them? We'll look at these questions in our next two installments.

Engine House No. 9 - A Brief History
The Mitten's home is Engine House No. 9, a former Grand Rapids firehouse and one of the city's few remaining Victorian landmarks. Built in 1890 by builder Charles Pelton and renowned architect W.G. Robinson, Engine House No. 9 first opened for service on December 7th, 1891.
Built for $7,200 by local builders and masons, No. 9 was home to four firemen and two horses. Horses were a critical part of the Grand Rapids Fire Department, and they dutifully pulled wagons for local fire companies until they were replaced by motorized engines in 1923. The crew of No. 9 stored their fire equipment (originally horse-drawn hose wagons and steam engines) in the "Apparatus Room;" currently the downstairs taproom. The horses were housed in a stable on the north side of the building, in the area currently occupied by the kitchen and taproom brewhouse.
The crew of No. 9 lived in a bunkhouse on the second story, now home to The Mitten Brewing Company's second floor taproom, Several of the original storage lockers and a portion of the fire pole are still intact.
Engine House No. 9 remained an active firehouse until 1966, when it was decommissioned after 75 years of service to the West Side of Grand Rapids. It remained in private use until it was ultimately purchased and restored by The Mitten Brewing Company in 2012.

"The examination never did indicate the causative factors for a headache except that rather they show on how these two factors of anxiety as well as hereditary qualities create some impacts. One could demonstrate that anxiety — spoke to by means of monetary adversity — prompted the expansion in headache in the individuals that had the specific quality variation," said Hungarian scientist Daniel Baksa.
These quality variations were discovered within about 33% from a populace, as a result they had become basic variations in the midst of little impact measure, these analysts stated.

Myofascial Release and the different forms of Myofascial Release are in our opinion, the most important techniques for pain treatment and posture correction and across the world it is gaining recognition as the missing link in modern health care.
To summarise, over 80% of your body is made up of fascia and it has an astounding involvement in every movement you make. It is also the only system that is connected to every other system in the body, so this particular type of soft tissue plays a major role in your health. In most cases, healthy fascia equals a healthy body and lifestyle.
Myofascial Release is a treatment that specifically releases certain deep or superficial soft tissues in your body in a way that no other technique can. You see certain fibres will not release or respond to treatment unless they are affected for 3-4 minutes at a time. This means your practitioner will be connecting to and accessing tissue, and then holding it in positions for a period of time to allow this very unique form of release.
Myofascial Release is very much a complimentary treatment in that it should always be used alongside other forms of treatment for best results. It is important to say that with fascia making up over 80% of your body you can't accidentally release fascia through other forms of treatment such as Sports Massage or Deep Tissue Massage, although there is a great benefit to these treatments. When used as a combination of treatments you will get the best results in the shortest space of time.
As with all our clients, your first appointment will begin with your Practitioner seeking to understand your ailments enough to build a mental image of what is occurring beneath your skin. Once they are happy with this they will explain to you in simple terms how they plan to treat your symptoms over the course of the hour.
Once treatment begins your Physology Practitioner will use different myofascial release techniques to open up and unwind the tissues of your body so that a very open, clean gliding movement appears for you. Imagine the feeling of being a teenager when you had almost no awareness of any tightness or heaviness in the body. That feeling was because your fascia was open, well hydrated and very few areas of it had become thickened.
Using Myofascial Release techniques, your Practitioner will be able to restore this healthy state to your fascia thus allowing much better gliding movements of all the muscles and tendons. It also corrects postural issues by releasing areas of the body held in tension to return to the normal neutral positions.

99p for a dress is just wrong
"We recognise the fact that girls do not like to be seen in the same dress twice especially with photos circulating on social media websites. Looking good and creating a new look for each night out comes with a price tag - not any more,"
99p for a dress, even with £2.99 postage, I find this shocking in this day and age that a store can justify selling clothes for this price. Not even many charity shops are selling clothes at that price anymore.
In todays financial society it pains me to think of any company encouraging a disposable society. I do wonder how many of these dresses will end up in landfill rather than charity shops.
How do we encourage our children to "make do and mend" and to understand the value of anything if this is the sort of message they are receiving from elsewhere. I want my children to understand the stress that a disposable lifestyle puts on our environment and for them to think twice before buying another item.
I try to ensure that I purchase ethically where possible and also that we reuse, recycle upcycle or pass on what items we can when we have done with them.
I would love to know your thoughts on this.
8 comments:
I wonder how the kids in the fast eastern sweatshop feel about their hard work being sold for 99p + postage?ReplyDeleteReplies
That's awful. And what an attitude to encourage, too. The idea that we can't wear the same dress more than once? Ridiculous.ReplyDelete
And you have to have serious concerns about how that dress was made for such a price, too. Can't be ethically sourced, at all.
I find it depressing, too, that a lot of people say they won't shop in charity stores because they feel they can get stuff cheaper from Primark or the like. But usually the charity shop clothes are of a much better quality and last a lot longer. I have a fair few very high-quality dresses and skirts that I've bought from our local RSPCA shop for under a fiver and would have cost close to £100 new. I couldn't imagine spending 99p on a new dress.Replies
Oh you put that so much more eloquently that I did! I NEVER shop in Primark out of principal!Delete
I won't shop in Primark, either, and it bugs me a bit if the girls get given clothes from there. I have relatives who will wax lyrical about how amazing it was to get two pairs of pyjamas for £1. Depending on who it is, I will either zip my lips and take deep breaths, or give them verse and chapter on why it is REALLY NOT A GOOD THING!Delete
As I understand it, Primark actuallly does quite well on ethical trading standards. http://www.primark-ethicaltrading.co.uk/ Having said that, we mainly shop in charity shops.Delete
Totally agree that people shouldn't be encouraged to only wear clothes once. I love shopping in charity shops as I always feel far better about myself when I've spent money there, than if I buy something new!ReplyDelete

Africa faces some very serious health problems. Africans on average face lower life expectancies, higher infant mortality rates, and a greater risk of disease than people in most other parts of the world.
Many people in Africa suffer from preventable diseases which are rare or easily treated in the industrialized countries: diseases like cholera, diarrheal diseases, high cholesterol, malaria. Particularly hard hit by some of these diseases are Africa's children, many of whom die before reaching 5 years of age.
HIV infection is a large and rapidly growing problem in sub-Saharan Africa (see the following page for more on this disease). According to the World Health Organization, nearly two thirds of all cases of HIV infection worldwide are in Africa.
Even as Africans struggle against existing diseases, new threats continue to emerge. Among the most troublesome of these are the hemorrhagic fevers, of which Ebola is the best known. Although they are the cause of very few infections at present, an outbreak of one of these highly infectious diseases could be disastrous.
The Causes of Africa's Health Problems
There are, of course, numerous causes for the thousands of health problems which afflict people in different parts of Africa. But at the root of most disease is one simple cause: poverty.
The 1998 WHO World Health Report sums this up clearly:
Poverty is the main reason why babies are not vaccinated, why clean water and sanitation are not provided, why curative drugs and other treatments are unavailable, and why mothers die in childbirth. It is the underlying cause of reduced life expectancy, handicap, disability, and starvation. Poverty is a major contributor to mental illness, stress, suicide, family disintegration and substance abuse. Every year in the developing world 12.2 million children under five years die, most of them from causes which could be prevented for just a few US cents per child. They die largely because of world indifference, but most of all they die because they are poor.
Among the most important consequences of poverty in Africa are:
Contaminated water. Probably the single greatest cause of infectious disease in much of Africa is contaminated water. Cholera is often spread through the water supply, as are many of the diarrheal diseases which are particularly deadly to young children.
Poor nutrition. People who are inadequately nourished are at a much greater risk from disease than those who are properly fed.
Inadequate Health Care. Most Africans do not have easy or affordable access to health care. Without adequate care, diseases which might readily be cured go untreated, frequently resulting in death.
Poor Health Care Education. People are most easily infected when they are unaware of the practices which put them at risk. One of the clearest examples of this worldwide has been in the spread of HIV infection.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention the Hauppuage TV Tuner/FM Card for the PC came in the mail last night. Thanks to good friend of mine I used to work with till he moved out of state and a higher tax bracket.
Wow, started as a slightly drizzle/rainy day to a full out snow storm. That's just amazing I mean each yr it still takes me by surpise that it can snow as far into summer as June around here. Anyways, me and the OFC have a practice matchup tonite on CoD 4. Looks to be alot of fun, with the new maps and the AWE maps we found. This time I'm going for headshots, I think I just got lucky the other night with the few shots I did get off and the guys I hit.

Knits are best modeled…
This is what became of the baby surplice jacket and hat:
His mom posted more photos of young Julian modeling his new duds. Sadly, the sock bind-off was too tight, after all my sock fussing. Fortunately, Alex can fix them. And the hat, an improvised design that I've made before, was a big hit. It was last time too. I guess I should write up some directions for it. It's pretty easy, but I designed it so that there's almost no sewing to finish it. It's really good to use up the last bit of yarn you got for a baby sweater project. Or that one ball of hand-dyed that you just couldn't put down.

The sensation of time passing changes completely when I am physically involved in making art; sculpture; drawing; painting and any other form of creativity. I choose the word sensation rather than the word perception – I choose it since I exist within time and perception seems less descriptive of existing within time than sensation. To explain this statement and further confuse anyone who reads this – firstly –
Thinking about making art is as much making art as making art is
Thinking about making art is as much making art as making art is
Thinking about making art is as much making art as making art is
Thinking about making art is as much making art as making art is
I firmly believe this – it is not possible for me to physically make art all the time
Because – I stop being able to see what I have done
I stop being able to choose what to do next
I cannot find where to go next
I become lost
This is not a reason to stop thinking about making nor a reason to stop making
Reason tells me that even when I think I am lost I am still making.
Secondly –
Time which marks spaces between art making has no meaning in the place where art is made. This internal arena itself has no time, the place where art making takes place, its precise location is unknown and yet it is always present although sometimes inaccessible and always imprecise. Art making possesses an elastic quality in its propensity to stretch then contract experience – snapping back with rapid accelerations in the speed of decision making regarding the work – such speed makes it difficult to track where an idea springs from.
All this has re- emerged while I have been sorting what to put in SEVEN, our group exhibition in Spittalfield Village Hall (Venue 20) for Perthshire Open Studios 2016 from 3-11 September. Participating in exhibiting art brings associated tasks separate from making the thing itself. Talking with other artists, organising events, sharing ideas, collaboration and publicity (Social media, Radio and Press), printing and documentation, alongside the more mundane carrying, cleaning, driving, cleaning, measuring, cleaning, drilling, cleaning, hammering, cleaning, suspension, cleaning, polishing. . .is it ready yet???
See you at POS 2016 Spittalfield. . .

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia finished fourth in the Azlan Shah Cup following a 3-2 defeat to reigning Olympic champions Argentina in Saturday's classification match in Ipoh.
Argentina dominated the opening proceedings and took a 2-0 lead through Juan Lopez (first minute) and Gonzalo Peillat (22nd).
However, the Malaysians fought back courtesy of goals from Joel Van Huizen (24th) and Faizal Shaari (27th).
Pedro Ibarra converted his penalty corner attempt for Argentine's third goal in the 49th minute.
Malaysia's Faizal Saari missed a sitter in the final five seconds of the match to draw level.
National coach Stephen Van Huizen said: "It was not a very good start as 38 seconds into the game Argentina scored their first goal.
"We were one-goal down and as we tried to chase, they scored a second.
"We changed our tactics by being tight in defence and midfield, and as a result, we responded with two goals.
"Unfortunately, they scored a winner.
"I am very proud of my players. They gave everything they had. I cannot ask for more," he said.
Van Huizen said: "The team are on the right track for next month's Commonwealth Games.
"It was tough playing six games in eight days here, but the players enjoyed every moment of it." he added.
Argentina coach Rolando Rivero said: "I am proud as we brought some new players here to test ahead of priority tournaments.
"I only had 15 available players today as two were unwell," he said.
Asian champions India took fifth spot after hammering Ireland 4-1.

Read the Review Transcript: Hi, my name's Steve. I just finished riding the Nordica Bad Mind. At high speeds I thought it was nice and stable for being surprisingly soft at the same time. It was great with short, quick turns and not as good with long turns going pretty fast. But overall I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars.

When I first entered the door to the museum the first thing that showed up was this huge garden that was full of beautiful flowers and trees. There was one thing that made this garden more special and beautiful, butterflies. There were butterflies flying around the garden, green, yellow, black, gray... there were numerous butterflies with different wing colors. Most of the butterflies were small, but I could see some butterflies that were too big, that made me scared~. Some butterflies were hiding under the leaves and some were eating juice from bananas and grape fruits, some were flying between the flowers. It was a wonderful experience and I really felt that we should preserve these creatures and nature. Long time ago, before human starting civilizing, there must have been numerous butterflies and different beautiful creatures in the forests... I felt like it is our responsibility to protect them.... In overall, i really appreciated how the natural museum was protecting these butterflies.
After looking around the butterfly garden, the path took me to the ancient Native Americans historical cites and their living features. There were numerous figures that showed how their daily lives looked like and their cultures were. The best part were a real bones and stones found at that time. The museum preserved those stones and their materials for more than hundred years. Looking at the lives of the Native Americans, I could see how big religion took place in their lives and how simple their life style was. All they looked for was a food everyday and a way to survive. This survival led them to build new tools and technologies to upgrade their lives. While comparing the lives of Native Americans and our lives today, I could see how much human civilized and technology thrived.
The last part of the museum we went through was a under water sea life~~!!!! There were numerous under waster sea creatures that lived hundreds years ago and are extinct today. Most of the creatures were huge and looked the same as the current sea creatures exist today. They looked more creepy and unfriendly. The way the museum designed the path and the rooms were very interesting because I could feel the sea creatures swimming next to me. The most interesting part was a real fish body that the scientists kept inside the glass. They are fishes that lived hundreds years ago, but extincted today, but still there are fishes from the same species.

4 Actions of Building Leadership Momentum
How do you build "Leadership Momentum"?
Know thyself…
You need to know and clearly define:
-Your Purpose
Ex. In the business of real estate only one thing sell houses… People helping people.
-Your Passion
-Your Story
What your "CURRENCY" really is…
It's not money… Money is simply the by-product of human activities
Currency with friends and family = Time
In Business = Passion
Stay Relevant
4 Actions of Building Leadership Momentum:
Part 1
Collaborate- Build your resources and relationships
•Identify your resources. If you don't have them, develop them. Immediately!
•Develop your "A-Team".
•You must have an understanding of everyone's job who is involved in the transaction process. Don't be clueless. Go to lunch with them. Don't listen to them talk about what they can do and how great they are; ask them to explain how they do it! This knowledge allows you the true ability to gauge the severity of a concern in a sale and better control the emotions in yourself, your client, and the transaction. This also tightens the bond in you relationship with them! Make it stronger!
Part 2
Innovate- Never stop learning. Implement your ideas with passion. Improve your processes constantly.
•The only fast lane to success is through educating yourself. The more you know and understand about this business, the easier it is to gain more & more correct momentum.
•You must know how to use technology to multiply your efforts.
•You must know how to handle areas of concern.
•You must know the steps to a successful presentation.
•You must know how to do a NEADS analysis
.•You must know how to generate leads.
•You must know how to create opportunity.
•You must learn to love the opportunity to get to try something you fear. This is how you grow!
•In marketing… If everyone is going one way… go the other way. You must stand out. This is how to do so. You must learn how to make the things you do seem bigger than they are to people.
•Prepare a Business Plan every year… Yes- Every year.
•Break down your growth goals into bite-sized pieces.
•Systemize everything you do.
Part 3
Generate- Sell out to building your business
•Sell out hardcore to generating and building your business for at least 24 months.
•It is your girlfriend/boyfriend.
•It is your hobby.
•It is your date tonight!
•It's what you did yesterday.
•It's what you are doing today.
•It's what you are doing tomorrow!
•Doing this for 24 months will make the next decade of your life and business something you considered a dream before.
•Treat every client/customer equally and with respect. It's not just about them, it's about everyone they know.
•Realize you must always have 6 months of living expenses in your bank account at all times. And treat this stash as your true $0/zero. From there, you can start building wealth. You can't see downline in your business until you don't have to worry about tomorrow financially. Trust me.
Part 4
Dominate- It's really you against yourself
•You must learn to hate the thought of giving yourself an excuse. It must make you sick to your stomach or you will continue to do it.
•You must provide value in everything you do.
•You must earn the right to close every sale.
•Get over feeling sorry for yourself, it's irrelevant.
•Everything you do is a learning experience to constantly get better. Everything.
•Be consistent. Period.
•You must know your math.
•Don't worry about trying to know all the answers. Strive to be able to get the right answer.
•Create balance in everything you do. Balance is like oil in an engine. Nothing runs smooth without it.
•Plan your day, week, Month and Year.
•Do the most productive thing possible at every given moment. – Tom Hopkins
•Find the one thing that means more to you than anything and use it to push yourself further than you have ever gone.
•Realize this is all a game. The faster you learn the rules to the game, the faster you realize it's yours for the taking.
•No single transaction is ever worth your reputation. Ever.
•Never lose who you are.
•Never let anyone else decide your emotions for you.
•Never accept less than your best.
In Summary
The only thing between you and success is time… and thats where the stories come from.
Failure is part of success.
But know this… All things are ready if the mind be so.

The four lakes are: Kanas Lake in northern Xinjiang, Tianchi Lake to the southeast of Urumqi, the regional capital; Sayram Lake, and Karakora at the foot of Muztagata, a peak of Mount Kunlun in southern Xinjiang.
They have a combined water area of 4,600 square kilometers and are more than 1,000 meters above sea level.
"The combination is meant to showcase mixed natural scenery in an arid zone featuring glaciers, snow-capped mountains, rivers and lakes, forests, prairies and wetlands, against a backdrop of a unique nomadic lifestyle," said Yang, who has been appointed as an expert researcher for the application to enter the lakes into the heritage list.
An introductory document to enter the four lakes into the list was completed in July this year, said Yang. As the normal procedures took time, the nomination would be submitted by China to the UNESCO in 2011 or 2012.
"Xinjiang is China's largest region in terms of land mass, and abounds in natural resources. I hope the nomination efforts will serve effectively to promote Xinjiang to the world and advance the harmonious development of economic and social life in the region," said Yang.
China has 38 entries in the World Heritage List: 27 cultural properties, seven nature features and four mixed entries. A document posted on the UNESCO website says the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in China in March 2008 also submitted an application to include the Karez Wells in the heritage list. The Wells are an irrigation system in Xinjiang that has been in operation for more than 2,000 years.View in a larger map

Two summers ago at the Cannes Film Festival, Richard Gere looked like an actor who had thrown in the towel.
His precipitous slip at the box office had followed such mega-duds as King David, Power and No Mercy. A noticeably grayer and less cocky Gere said, ''Listen, I'm 38 years old and I don't really care about it (stardom) anymore. . . . I'm more interested in being a human being than a star. If I can't make another film, I'll find other ways to occupy myself.''

The Big Lip Balm Post
14 comments:
Longcat looks super cute! I love Shiro's packaging :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Me too:) I really like the oval tubes they use tooDelete
I need to pick up the shiro one for sure, and the lavender one!ReplyDeleteReplies
I'd definitely recommend them both! I'd love to hear what you think if you end up picking them up :DDelete
I'd love to hear about your lip balm making adventures, and I'm pretty sure I need to try the lavender balm you mentioned.ReplyDelete
I'm a big fan of tinted balms with clean ingredients in general, and my current favorite it W3ll People's Nudist Lipshine Stick (shade #1). The color is very subtle and so pretty, but it's a bit pricey at $23. Yikes!Replies
I've been kind of holding off until I nail down a recipe I'm completely happy with, but maybe I should just do posts as I go! I've been really enjoying experimenting with more DIYs :)Delete
I've eyed W3ll People's products before, but the prices are definitiely a bit on the steeper side, especially with the exchange/markup to Canadian. I've seen the lipshines for around $30 here!
Very nice post ! great to discover new brands too.ReplyDelete
I am currently using the Hurraw lip night treatment and I really love it! the smell is a mixture of hney and vanilla, and lips are super smooth in the morning.
Thanks:) The night treatment sounds yummy...I'll have to try it out next time!Delete
I MUST have that Just Pure Minerals Coral Tinted Lip Balm. :DReplyDelete
Is it more orangey than reddish? Or the other way around?Replies
I'd say it's more of a red coral than anything. It's not very orangey at all :)Delete
Interesting post, I hadn't heard of many of these companies before.ReplyDelete
You should try to make a lip balm with olive oil in it. I've read a lot about how olive oil naturally fixes chapped lips. Just a thought :) and def make a tinted one. I'm trying to find a good tinted organic balm, in a pink/slightly coral shade. poo. red colors are too bold for me, I think. If you make some, let me know!ReplyDelete
Great review! I have only Crazy Rumors Bubblegum (it's my favourite one) and I'm about to try Hurraw!..I just cannot decide about the flavour :DReplyDelete
And Shiro has totally adorable package! ^^ Unfortunately it's not available in my country ..meh :/
Greetings from Slovakia :))
Peacock & PineapplesReplies
Thanks! My favorites from Hurraw have been mint and coffee bean. Not that I've tried anywhere near all of them, of course! :)Delete

Corporate Profile
ViewRay® Inc., (NASDAQ:VRAY), designs, manufactures and markets MRIdian® the world's first MRI-guided radiation therapy system that can image and treat cancer patients simultaneously. MRIdian® addresses key limitations of existing external-beam radiation therapy technologies because it integrates MRI technology, radiation delivery and proprietary software to locate, target and track the position and shape of soft-tissue tumors while radiation is delivered. Real-time MRI-imaging clearly defines the targeted tumor from the surrounding soft tissue and other critical organs during radiation treatment allowing the system to deliver radiation to the tumor accurately while delivering less radiation to healthy tissue. MRIdian®'s increased target accuracy combined with improved tumor visibility and accurate dose recording means clinicians can treat patients who would not previously have been considered radiation therapy candidates. ViewRay believes MRIdian® will significantly improve the safety and efficacy of radiation therapy, leading to improved patient outcomes with reduced side-effects from off-target radiation delivery.

text: Hi, my name is Easton and I am a 22 month old male. I am crate and house trained. I am also really great with all types of dogs and just really want to play! I walk well on a leash and understand that is the way you are supposed to walk. I know the commands sit, down and stay. I'm just one big love bug that doesn't know what personal space is all about, yes, that's right, I could lay in your lap and not have a problem with it! I am great with somewhat older children but because I don't have any sense of personal space, I tend to knock smaller ones over. I am a very active dog so it would be best if I go into a home with another dog or a very active family that gets me out to play and run around with them. The perfect family would have to be dedicated to me my whole life and wants me to be the best dog in their life.

Households are one of the main sources of waste and of other environmental impacts. This is a study of domestic consumption. Drawing on empirical research largely from The Netherlands, it takes households as consumer units and examines the entire household metabolism. This includes the way domestic demand can influence where and how goods and services are produced, resource flows through households, and the differential impacts of different lifestyles. It shows both what would constitute sustainable domestic consumption and how far there is to go to achieve this.

For many kids, using proper sharp knives can be a little bit scary, but it needn't be. Follow these few simple tips and tricks from our TweenChef Cat, and you will be a whizz in the kitchen in no time! Get permission from your parents before doing anything in the kitchen, and then you can wow them by making them lunch!
More Tips for Parents on Knife Safety for Kids
For younger, and more cautious kids, you can start out using smaller and less sharp knives. When we say 'less sharp knives', we don't mean blunt ones, but ones that are more suited to cutting soft fruit or cheese, like these cheese spreaders. They are great for really little kids, as they have chunky handles
Once they are more confident, kids can move on to using a Lettuce Knife like these one – good for practicing using a big knife, without it being quite so scary!
As Cat mentioned in her video, make sure the kids can reach the workshop safely – the ubiquitous Ikea step comes in very handy for this. Once they are comfortable using the Lettuce Knife, move them on to peeling potatoes and slicing soft fruit like bananas.
And finally … any Nutella fans out there? We love this Nutella knife, which is specially designed to get every last bit of Nutella out of the glass!

Los Angeles: Snooki swinging a bat at The Situation, The Situation threatening to reveal yet another secret to her boyfriend, and a cast member packing up and moving out of the beach house -- these are but a few of the storylines teased in MTV`s new `Jersey Shore` season five trailer.
Season five, which premieres on January 5, finds the gang heading back to Seaside Heights, after a rather boring fourth season in Italy.
The Snooki/Situation beef that began in Italy -- when he claimed the two had hooked up in between seasons -- follows them back to the beach.
How intense do things get? She chases him with a bat, they throw things at each other, and he warns, "This is Hurricane Situation, and it`s headed straight for Snooki Island."
Does the trailer also include Snooki looking in the mirror and proclaiming, "I look like a Jersey skank, and I love it"?

Travel websites need to strike a balance between Lookers & Buyers
I ran into a spate of poorly designed travel websites this morning. It's a fairly familiar experience but made more noticeable today because every other site I looked at seemed to break one of my two golden rules.
There used to be three golden rules, but thankfully these days everybody has realised that the first - do not require visitors to register before viewing your site - was a bad, bad idea.
Back in the late nineties companies - Expedia for example - thought they could easily build up a database of sales 'prospects' by getting visitors to register. What they quickly discovered was that casual visitors simply moved onto the next site. Pre-registration was dropped very quickly.
Why then have so many travel companies, big and small, failed to grasp the other two blindingly obvious 'things not to do' on the cluetrain?
2. Do not force people to confirm a departure date, airport, size of party, and return date, when they are not actually checking availability or making a booking.
3. Do not put anything less than your full product range on the website.
Because, since the Internet was born - in academia - people have used it primarily as a research tool. Even though there has been an explosion of ecommerce activity on the net, nearly every buyer starts out looking. If they can't look/browse easily, or they can't find what they are looking for, they will move to another site and probably end up buying there.
I don't have statistics for the UK but the Travel Industry Association of America (TIA)'s latest annual survey of American travel consumers shows how defined the two stages - looking & buying - are.
Seventy-eight percent of travellers - that's 79 million Americans - turned to the Internet for travel or destination information in 2005, and 82% of travellers who planned their trips online also booked a travel component online.
Research conducted in the USA by Feedback Research, a division of Claria Corp, between 1 April - 1 July, 2005 breaks the relationship between 'looking & buying' down a little bit. It found that 88% of Americans who planned to travel later that summer, used the Internet to research and/or purchase their travel arrangements. Of those, 61% purchased or planned to purchase airline tickets online, and 52% purchased or planned to purchase hotel accommodation.
Or put another way, of every ten people looking for information on a travel website, four did not, or were not intending to, buy airline tickets and five did not, or were not intending to, book a hotel. IE They were there to research only, or they researched but failed to buy.
Which is why travel website design should not be focused on e-commerce sales alone.
So, to return to rules 2 & 3...
Do not force people to confirm a departure date, airport, size of party, and return date, when they are not actually checking availability or making a booking.
If you are visiting the site to find out if this company operates/sells tours to Sardinia it is very irritating to have to start giving dates for a hypothetical trip, and if the answer comes back 'no', does that mean 'no, they don't go there' or they do go there but just not on the dates you happened to pluck out of the air!
Do not put anything less than your full product range on the website.
After all, it's easy & cheap to do. Just add pdfs of your brochure for visitors to download.
If, for example, in addition to your portfolio of holidays on Mauritius, you also organise tailor-made breaks at one or two resort hotels on neighbouring Rodrigues, then say so on the website. A potential client is not going to visit your website, not see Rodrigues mentioned anywhere, and then phone you or email on the off-chance!
Break either of these two rules and your visitor is likely to leave you and visit somebody else's site, where they'll probably spend money.

For the second year running, this evening event was held in AGGS Main Hall. Approx 160 new Y7 parents/students attended and listened to an introductory talk, given by Ms Mayall, explaining the value of learning to play an instrument, the value of learning an 'endangered' instrument in particular, and also the music provision provided at school in terms of curriculum music lessons, extra-curricular music clubs (orchestras/bands/ensembles/choirs), in addition to optional instrumental lessons.
This year, 8 current Y7 students performed a short piece, showcasing the progress they had made on their instrument since September – all of these students demonstrated on 'endangered' instruments (brass, oboe, bassoon, drum kit, double bass) and their performances were really appreciated by the audience. New Y7s then had the opportunity to try out some of these instruments and apply for lessons. This new initiative is proving really popular and is also proving successful in building up the numbers of students opting for these more unusual instruments, which then feed our orchestras/ensembles etc and give them a life skill that will be highly sought after!
Feedback from parents was extremely positive. This initiative is part of our PTI Associate Department project, of which we have just completed our first year.
