Help Whip Cancer®
Your mother, your sister, your friend—we all know someone affected by breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women. Since 2007, breast cancer death rates have remained steady in women younger than 50, but have decreased in older women. The American Cancer Society® believes this decrease is the result of early detection and increased awareness, as well as better treatments. Pampered Chef began its Help Whip Cancer campaign in May 2000 to raise funds to assist the American Cancer Society® with breast cancer education and early detection programs. To increase our impact, we added our October campaign in 2008. Since the beginning of our Help Whip Cancer campaign, Pampered Chef consultants and customers have contributed more than $12 million to aid the American Cancer Society®'s fight against breast cancer. More than 3.1 million breast cancer survivors are celebrating another birthday this year!

Chasing a dream to earn a sustainable income as a writer is proving to be a hard-knock life for me. Failure is trying to suppress my writing aspirations.
Recently, I cranked open my Toshiba laptop to find an e-mail from the writing program coordinator at Second City. "Thank you for your interest in Writing 5. Unfortunately, your submitted scene didn't qualify for you to continue at this time."
For the previous eight months, my cheeks have been in Second City's seats learning to write sketch comedy. There are six, eight-week terms in the program.
I completed four.
To gain entry to Writing 5, a sketch scene audition is a prerequisite to ensure ones work is worthy of such an advancement. Of 12 classmates, I'm one of three that didn't make it through.
"What?!" I thought. "I'm a professional writer! How does that happen?"
The e-mail continued: "This doesn't mean you aren't a great writer."
Crossing my arms I mumbled
"You're darn Skippy it doesn't."
I read further.
"...just that you may need more work on the principles of scenic sketch." said the program coordinator.
My emotions dipped back to a time when my husband Don and I took our daughters Donae (7) and Rhonda-Rene (4) to Grand Geneva's Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark up in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
At the time, Rhonda-Rene was only two and just getting acclimated to exploring water independently. Forcing the natural progression of her comfort level, I placed her at the top of the toddler slide and scurried over to the bottom to catch her.
Most enthused, I petitioned her to slide down.
"Come to Mommy! Rhonda-Rene! Come?" I suspect, from her vantage point, plummeting into cold water didn't look appealing.
Ignoring my lure, she abruptly scooched backward and tumbled headfirst down the stairs of the slide.
The stairs were softly padded, as was the toddler surface where she landed.
Nonetheless, a concerned lifeguard escorted us into a warm, towel-filled back room.
He proceeded to examine Rhonda-Rene and completed an incident report. She hadn't sustained any injuries and didn't cry but a minute. Yet, I stalled to leave that room. I wear the badge of stay-at-home mom with honor. I take great pride in caring for my family. I didn't want to face the people who saw me fail to protect my child.
Likewise, I'm a passionate writer. I exercise at this craft like a fitness guru does their body.
Failing to advance to Writing 5 was not only disappointing but embarrassing. I wanted to go find that warm, towel-filled room and not come out. But, there's a danger in that line of thinking.
When entertained long enough, feelings of failure morph into fear. I don't believe we fail because we're supposed to quit. I believe we fail when we need to grow. Those who quit shut off their creative energy stunting their expression of joy that only shines through when it's shared with the world.
When we stop operating in the purpose of which we were created out of fear, we can become unfulfilled, miserable people.
Failure is not an option for me, I will press forward elsewhere!
But, first, I felt I needed the specifics from the folks at Second City. I wrote a small note to the head of their writing program asking for a detailed explanation for why my scene failed. For peace of mind, I needed to know how far I was off the mark. Turns out, it wasn't a near miss -- it was more like a WIDE gap.
I responded as such, "I appreciate the raw feedback. I'm going to be honest, I never desired to write comedy. I just wanted to learn how to write for the stage and ultimately film. I came to Second City because of its reputation as being one of the best training centers in the business. Thank you for giving me a playwright foundation. However, for what I need to fulfill my personal endeavors, I think its best I seek my training in an institution not comedy specific."
As a writer, this experience will sharpen my determination. As a mom, it will become a priceless teaching tool for my little girls down the road. Our kids only listen to us for so long.
After that, they model us. It's easy to show our children how to celebrate success, but don't forget to show them how to celebrate opportunities to grow.
In failure, there is growth, for the plants that thirst for watering. And that, I do!

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows what time junior infants in St brigids starts and finishes? I can't see it on the website and can't get through on the phone. I have been asked to mind a child going there but want to find out if times suit me before I speak to the mum. Thanks

Pharmacological Rescue Of Synaptic Plasticity, Courtship Behavior, And Mushroom Body Defects In A Drosophila Model Of Fragile X Syndrome
Document Type
Publication Date
Published In
Fragile X syndrome is a leading heritable cause of mental retardation that results from the loss of FMR1 gene function. A Drosophila model for Fragile X syndrome, based on the loss of dfmr1 activity, exhibits phenotypes that bear similarity to Fragile X-related symptoms. Herein, we demonstrate that treatment with metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) antagonists or lithium can rescue courtship and mushroom body defects observed in these flies. Furthermore, we demonstrate that dfmr1 mutants display cognitive deficits in experience-dependent modification of courtship behavior, and treatment with mGluR antagonists or lithium restores these memory defects. These findings implicate enhanced mGluR signaling as the underlying cause of the cognitive, as well as some of the behavioral and neuronal, phenotypes observed in the Drosophila Fragile X model. They also raise the possibility that compounds having similar effects on metabotropic glutamate receptors may ameliorate cognitive and behavioral defects observed in Fragile X patients.

text: This was a wild squirrel that took up residence in one of the squirrel houses, gave birth and successfully raised them to this point. However the larger male baby squirrel had enough of being restricted to the small area of the house and yesterday managed to climb down. I saw him on the ground and climbing the trees close by but unable to get back to that particular house. However his sibling did not have the confidence to follow. So not sure how last night June 1st played out...and as of 6 am this am, no sightings of the babies.Read More

I love taking
photos of animals. Whether its an old neighborhood house cat or a majestic lion
at the zoo, they always make for good pictures.
Take a full body shot first.This just means taking at least one (or 2) clear
views of the entire animal.Take care not to get too far away from the subject,
try to fill the frame with the animals image.
Take a full body shot first.This just means taking at least one (or 2) clear views of the entire animal.Take care not to get too far away from the subject, try to fill the frame with the animals image.
Especially if your shooting groups of animals, plan ahead a shot of the herd, maybe a frontal shot and a rear shot. Include as many of the herd/flock/groups that you can. Mass shots of herds and the like almost always turn out striking!
Running, jumping, or flying. Any normal movement of the animal or maybe even abnormal! One of the funniest things I ever saw in a photo was a monkey in a zoo putting on some lipstick he had found. Be Observent!
This could include the killing of actual prey, gathering food, or maybe just the feeding of the wee ones. All animals are different in this respect, and CAUTION should definatly be used if attempting this in the wild! Be aware that most times, even if you cant see them, the male is around and WILL attempt to "defend" their mate. Be Careful, again, Observent!
Special acts of affection, such as nuzzling or necking. Yes, animals neck. Well, some do! By rubbing the necks together they entwine them, this is called necking! Other displays could include, special rituals,dances, mating poses and special colorings or coats.This could also include the mating! (Ewwww!) I think I'll just leave that last one to National Geographic!
Eggs hatching, Mothers cleaning newborns, The baby's first steps (horseys!) Nothing better than new life! And capturing those first few moments are really special! The look in the baby's eyes tell a story...It's as if he is saying, "What the...It's COLD!?!?" Priceless!
Go on out there and git ta shootin'! Animal Photography is alot of fun, TRY IT!

THE BUZZ: Team Ninja has today released a bunch of new screenshots for Ninja Gaiden 3.
WHAT WE KNOW: These new screenshots come from the latest update to the games official website, however there are a couple that you have probably seen in previous media releases.
EGM's TAKE: Ninja Gaiden 3 looks pretty similar to previous games in the series and Team Ninja doesn't appear to be straying to far from the core formula with the third game.
What are you hoping will be added in the latest installment?

In addition, I would expect you to be actively involved in helping senior managers at CCBN develop business and product strategies as well as strategic third party relationships. As CFO, you will report directly to me. CASH COMPENSATION Your starting date will be March 6, 2000, and your starting salary will be set at $200,000 per year with a bonus range of 0-50% of your base salary.

In addition, you will receive normal health and other benefits currently in place for CCBN executives. STOCK OPTIONS In addition to the above cash compensation, a major part of your decision to join CCBN was based on receiving a meaningful number of stock options. Subject to Board approval, I am prepared to recommend to the Board an option package that would provide you options to purchase 600,000 shares of CCBN. Based on our current capitalization, this would represent approximately 3.25% of the company and would make you our fifth largest shareholder on a fully diluted basis. <PAGE> Mr. Lawrence P. Begley Page 2 I will recommend to the Board that 300,000 of these options be priced at $5.37. In addition, if the Company completes an initial public offering before December 31, 2000, you will be granted an option for an additional 300,000 options priced at the IPO price. If the Company does not complete a public offering by December 31, 2000, you will be granted, on December 31, 2000, an option for 300,000 shares at $5.37 per share. These options will vest as follows: 180,000 (30%) on March 6, 2001, 52,500 on June 6, 2001, 52,500 on September 6, 2001, 52,500 on December 6, 2001, 52,500 on March 6, 2002, 52,500 on June 6, 2002, 52,500 on September 6, 2002, 52,500 on December 6, 2002, and 52,500 on March 6, 2003. In addition, we have agreed that all of your options will receive accelerated vesting as described below: o 100% of all options will vest upon a change of control o If the Company completes an initial public offering and the market price of its stock increases by 50% or more above the offering price and stays at that level or above for 45 consecutive days, the date upon which all options not then exercisable shall become exercisable shall be accelerated by 1 year. o If you die or become disabled, the date upon which all options not then exercisable shall become exercisable shall be accelerated by 1 year. Your option package as well as your cash compensation will be subject to annual review with appropriate adjustments for additional responsibilities, as well as attainment of both your individual and our corporate goals.

Subject to Board approval, you may purchase 374,067 shares of stock at $5.37. Of this total of 374,067, 149,067 shares may be purchased by you without restrictions. The remaining 225,000 of these shares will be subject to a reverse vesting provision, allowing the company to repurchase at $5.37 per share a portion these shares if you terminate within 3 years from March 6, 2000. The amount that the company can repurchase will be determined consistent with the vesting schedule of your stock options described above -- i.e., if your employment is terminated prior to March 6, 2001, the company may repurchase all 225,000 shares at $5.37; if you terminate during the period March 7, 2001 to June 6, 2001, the company may repurchase 205,312.5 shares at $5.37, etc. This purchase would be financed as follows: you will pay the company $1,408,746.90 and the Company will loan you the balance of $599,992.90, for which you will sign a promissory note.

This note will be secured by the shares of stock. <PAGE> Mr. Lawrence P. Begley Page 3 Larry, I think that this covers everything that we discussed. Both Rob Adler and I are very excited about having you join CCBN, and believe that you can be a major contributor to helping us grow CCBN into becoming very valuable enterprise. I believe that the economic package that I have detailed above both reflects the importance of having you as a member of our senior management team, and also provides you with a very meaningful economic opportunity. Lastly, some legal formalities. Upon joining CCBN, you will need to sign our standard nondisclosure, non-compete agreement. The Immigration Reform and Control Act requires us to send you the Form-9m, which we will do under separate cover. Please feel free to call me if you think that I have left anything out or if you would like to discuss any aspects of this proposal in more detail. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, /s/ Jeffrey P. Parker ______________________________ Jeffrey P. Parker Chairman & CEO Accepted by: /s/ Jeffrey P. Parker /s/ Lawrence P. Begley ______________________________ ______________________________ Jeffrey P. Parker Lawrence P. Begley CCBN.COM Chairman & CEO

Exxon Looks Close to Home
High Prices Make Domestic, Technically Challenging Fields Worthwhile
RIFLE, Colo. -- Exxon Mobil Corp. has performed remarkable engineering feats in far corners of the world to find new stores of oil and natural gas. Next stop: Colorado.
Last year, Exxon began to drill an estimated 5,000 wells in Colorado's Piceance Basin, marking its first major new onshore energy-production project in the contiguous U.S. since the former Exxon Corp. and Mobil Oil Co. merged in 1999. For years, the domestic U.S. looked picked over, and bigger opportunities lay abroad....

Iran releases 15 British sailors that it asserts were captured in Iranian waters:
"We have every right to put these people on trial," Mr Ahmadinejad asserted.
"But I want to give them as a present to the British people to say they are all free."
US tortures innocent people, while simultaneously denying that we torture. We've ceded Iran – by no means a model of an enlightened modern society – the moral high ground. Thanks for nuthin', Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzalez… you ^@&!(!%^%#$ pretty much set the ball on the tee for an Iranian propaganda home run.

In the RC1 version of Automation. I found that various fixtures do not have the same paint colour as the rest of the car, but show a red outline. Should these be reported or not?
RC1 Unreal: Fixtures do not have correct paint
it happens to everyone and idk if it is a bug, I don't think so
I know that everyone will have this issue. This is either a bug or hasn't been implemented. However, as we are now getting into the Release Candidates, I want to inform the developers before it it missed.
Do the colors start to match once you select a drive type?
Go back to the paint selector and select the paint you want again once you've placed all your fixtures
Just tried it out and these fixtures have some wrong / not hooked up material settings that make them retain the red color. That will be fixed in future patches, not the next one though.
I've now gone through and fixed those vents, they should display correctly after the next update.
I've had a cursory glance over the rest of the fixtures and couldn't find any similar issues, let me know if there are any more
Thanks for all the effort guys!
I can't get the 55 sedan bumper to change colour.
Front bumper is chrome or anything else I choose. The rear stays red.

This past week has been shocking. Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton in the presidential election was unexpected by most. The latest results showing Trump getting 290 electoral votes to Clinton's 228. A look at the popular vote, however, shows Clinton received more than half-a-million more votes. Numerous exit polls indicate Trump was significantly more popular than Clinton among whites without college degrees, especially male voters. Clinton was significantly more popular than Trump with Hispanic, African-American, and Asian-American voters.
In an era when racial tensions have become forefront, I sincerely hope this election does not further divide our nation. I hope Donald Trump's verbal commitment to the healing and uniting of our population was not just an empty campaign promise. When he says, "Let's make America great again," I hope it's with his full commitment and fortitude to make it happen.
Speaking about politics with friends, family, acquaintences, and strangers can lead to volatile conversations. Protesting the election has ensued this week. While I acknowledge a protestor's right to do so, I hope calmer heads prevail. We do not need more divisiveness. We need unity.
The next few months will be telling. Did America get it right in their election of Donald Trump or was it duped? I feel our nation is on the precipice of either turning things around or disaster. I hope, for once, campaign promises become reality and the healing begins.

Cooking Basics

Standing Rib Roast with Horseradish Sauce
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon paprika
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 (3 or 4-rib roast) trimmed of excess fat, feather bone and ribs loosened and tied in place
Horseradish Sauce
3/4 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup minced celery
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or to taste
1 tablespoon horseradish (not creamed) or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash or 2 of hot pepper sauce
Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine flour, paprika, garlic, salt and pepper. Rub roast completely with this mixture.
Place roast fat side up in shallow roasting pan (a rack is not necessary since bones form natural rack). Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of roast, making sure tip does not touch bone.
To determine roasting time:
Very rare -15 to 17 minutes per pound or 130 degrees F on thermometer.
Medium rare -18 to 20 minutes per pound or 150 degrees F on thermometer.
Well done - 22 to 28 minutes per pound or 165 degrees F on thermometer.
When desired doneness is reached, turn heat off, leave oven door ajar and allow meat to rest 20 minutes, or if oven is needed for another purpose, remove roast and let stand in a warm place near the oven. (This makes carving easier, and less juice will run out onto the platter so the meat will be more succulent.) Discard strings and serve roast with horseradish sauce.
If preparing two roasts, place side by side in 17 1/2 x 12 inch roasting pan.
Horseradish Sauce: Combine all ingredients and mix well. Chill before serving.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Of late, the role of 'item number' in films has been taken over by the heroines themselves as most of them don't mind in shedding their clothes and dancing for 'item number' songs. They choose to do so in films starring frontline heroes and for friends, thus rendering the real 'item number' girls jobless!
Yesteryear's heroine 'Silk' Smitha was the ultimate seductress and 'item number' girl of Kollywood for more than three decades now. Though many before and after her have appeared in films in Kollywood, few could make the audiences excited and arouse their desires as 'Silk' Smitha managed to do so almost effortlessly.
Mumaith Khan has proved her mettle as 'item number' girl and has many hit films to her credit including Kandasamy, Pokkiri and Thalai Nagaram. She also starred in various other language films. She hasn't been in the best of form for the past few years and is now making a comeback after a long time by dancing for an 'item number' in Jai Akash's upcoming film titled as Amavasaai.
Made trilingual in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi and starring Jai Akash in the lead, the film is produced and directed by Rakesh Savant. Syed Ahmed is the film's music director. The film also has a bevy of beauties including Saakshi Shogan, Preeti Singh, Tanya Maurya, Rubi Khan and Seema Singh besides our own Mumaith!

'The Last Adventures' Programme Note by Tim Etchells
In a vast old Maschinenhalle (machinehall) of a former coal mine in Gladbeck in the old industrial heartland of Germany's Ruhr valley, a group of people are clearing items left strewn across the expansive concrete and cracked tile floor. There's a loose scattering of dented cooking pots, half a jumble sale's worth of ruined clothing, a motely collection of sticks, mops, brooms and what seems to be golf clubs, as well as assorted battered suitcases and boxes, tin foil stars on bamboo canes, scraps of white and blue gauze, paper streamers, buckets and broken wheelbarrows, and here and there, a messy web of tangled long red ribbons tied to yellow tennis balls. Clearing this lot up, and then packing it carefully seems to be the start of every rehearsal day over two months in Gladbeck as we are making The Last Adventures, a process of arranging the chaos neatly so that it can all be located again, used for the scenes of the performance and in the process strewn around the floor once more.
Like much of Forced Entertainment's work The Last Adventures is a strange mix of high-tech and low-fi, the high-tech in this case concentrated in the lights and the sound, the lo-fi focused very much in the performance, which lies somewhere between a largely improvised choreography, an animated scenery or painting come to life, an absurd game of costume changing and transformation, and a pattern made from stories that have been broken into pieces.
Beginning from a discussion about epic and fantastic tales, folk stories and the crowd scenes of pantomime and opera the project soon took on a life of its own, seeing the regular Forced Entertainment team and guests working with 19th century illusionistic scenery in the form of wooden trees and other items one week, whilst creating a kind of comical Hieronymus Bosch landscape-as-dressing-up-game-gone-wrong, the next. At the heart of this process there remained an interest in stories, especially the kinds of stories contained already in pictures, and in the meeting of visual fragments – the kinds of stories that might flicker into existence in collage or in TV channel hopping.
The starting point sound-wise was a collaboration with the extraordinary Lebanese artist Tarek Atoui, whose longstanding interest in sound samples as modular fragments for algorithmic recombination made a clear connection to our interest in narratives made from fragments and slithers of existing stories. Like Forced Entertainment, Atoui also has a practise deeply rooted in structured improvisation and the possibilities that it affords for generating surprise shifts in performance energy and content. To animate this connection in The Last Adventures, Atoui conceived a musical structure for the work in which his written and recorded score would be accompanied and remixed for each live presentation by a new sonic collaborator. Keeping the sound textures changing, performances have thus far featured improvised contributions from Atoui himself, Uriel Barthélémi, percussionist; Mazen Kerbaj, trumpeter and for Warwick one of the founding fathers of Japanese noise music, the multi-instrumentalist and electronic musician KK Null. This shifting aspect to The Last Adventures' soundtrack also demands extra focus from the performers onstage who must adapt and remix their own actions and the atmospheres they create in relation to the shifts in the acoustic territory of the piece provided by each of the guest musicians interpreting Atoui's score.
Visually rich with dispersed detail, The Last Adventures is decidedly full of contradictions; home-made and evidently improvised in part, it's nonetheless a carefully structured journey from start to finish. Comical and at times ridiculous, whilst often making switches of tone that are deeply felt but hard to explain, the piece can also generate real emotional involvement. The role of the spectator in a theatre like this, is always active, never passive; a matter of joining in, not as part of the on-stage work of performance but in the deep imaginative work of finding, linking, reading and transforming what takes place in front of you.

Our life changes rapidly from year to year. There are new technologies, new opportunities, which overturn our worldview, attitude towards time, communication, work. Our priorities change too, our desires, goals and means of achievement them. Progress has changed our lives and we must accept these changes, use their goods and take into account their specific features, bringing up a new generation. For this, the education system should be in constant development, and thus teacher training requires new approaches.

OK, so last night a courier shoved a letter from a friend into my hand as he rushed by just outside Morthal. The letter from this ever increasing mysterious friend, directed me to the High Gate Ruins where I subsequently learned the first word of the Storm Call shout. Haven't tried it out yet, but I believe it kills everyone, friend or foe which is unfortunate. Since I'm calling the storm you would think I would control who it kills...Oh well it'll be useful for the end of the Main Quest.
The ruin also has one of the Dragon Priests in residence so I took his mask as well as some nice loot.
Anyway, back on track...when you first enter the ruins there's a woman standing nearby. Her name is Anska and she is constantly using a ward buff, probably Steadfast Ward or Stoneflesh. She wants help to find a particular scroll but doesn't think she can do it alone, although as it turned out she is a pretty good mage and could have done it by herself.
If people think Barbas the dog was a pain in the rear, this woman is twice as bad. She pushes so close to me that she's almost under my skin and since I'm a sneaky archer she constantly breaks sneak because she herself doesn't sneak....at all. My skill is at 100 anyway so it's not like I'm bothered about leveling it, but she alerts every Draugr Overlord and trash mob way before we get anywhere near them.
I thought my companions were bad with alerting enemies and stealing my kills, but this woman takes the cake. When we arrived at the last chamber before the Dragon Priest she ran over half a dozen pressure plate triggers to get to the door. Needless to say the traps were fire and poison which doesn't hurt me now anyway, but that's not the point. It's that she sticks to me like flypaper and the traps are triggering every time I move out of the way because SHE steps on them while I'm getting ready to enter the final chamber with the Dragon Priest.
It's not enough she has to crowd me by standing nose to nose, and I'm not exaggerating, but she says."Get away from me!" over and over. You have no idea how many times I FUS RO DAH'ed this imbecile off ledges and down long corridors with traps just to get her away from me. Unfortunately, being an imbecile AI, and obviously immortal, she just gets back up, shakes herself off and continues on as if nothing untoward had happened. It's quite normal to be thrown with "unrelenting force" way, way down a corridor with lots of sharp objects or down a level onto hard and sharp objects without batting an eyelid....
And to top it all off my reward for getting the scroll which I couldn't read or use if I wanted to as it's called Secret Scroll, was a Spell Tome which is useless at my level, which is 54. It's a spell to conjure a flaming familiar wolf which explodes when anyone, including the player gets close, although I think it's the timer more than anything which is like 10 seconds. It does look pretty cool, but does no damage whatsoever even to normal Draugr. It's not even useful as a distraction as it doesn't last long enough.
Other than that I've now finished the civil war quests in favour of Ulric, who for many reasons I would support again rather then the Imperials. I think I've almost run out of locations and misc quests for this character, or I should say quests I want to do, and all that's really left is to take on Alduin in the final battle.
The character I'm playing is my only one thus far and has mainly been a testing run through the game so I know what I want to do and what I don't next time.
Also in case people haven't seen it yet, Bethesda announced yesterday the 1.4 patch and the CK "should" be on track for release in the next couple of weeks. The list of fixes in the patch is a very good start.
Kharjo: "But, but I wanted the Dragonscale armour."
Tukassi: "Not this again. You specialize in heavy and that's what you're getting. Like it or lump it."
Kharjo: "But...
Tukassi: "I crafted that armour with my bare hands from the bones of mighty dragons. Mighty dragons!"
Kharjo: Bares teeth.....
Tukassi: I saw that you ingrate. Next time you set off a trap and poison me you won't get any salmon treats."
Kharjo: Mutters...bares teeth.....

Launching Photography Startups | So You Want To Be A Photographer? How To Start And Run A Money Making Photography Business
Launching Photography Startups | Simple fact: creative artists like photographers need business know-how just as much as Internet startup businesses and small companies. A photography career can be truly fulfilling, however, as you launch into the professional realm, it is vitally important to be thoughtful and realistic about the road ahead. Your favorite photographers may make their job look easy, but trust us, it's not. There are many things that should be considered before starting up your own photography business.
Launching Photography Startups | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
Today, it is easier than ever to get your hands on a camera and start taking pictures, but becoming a successful photographer requires a lot of time and effort. The photography business can be extremely demanding, both financially and in terms of work hours. But if you are dedicated and passionate about taking pictures, and you are willing to deal with a bit of unpredictability, it may be just the ideal career for you. If you're thinking of taking this passion a few steps further into launching your own photography business, we have a few crucial tips and recommendations you should consider before plunging in.

Any serious business person will tell you that you have to organize your thoughts on paper. This detailed document serves as your overview and a road map, describing what your business is and how it will be profitable. It breaks down things like cash flow, expenses, ownership, and competition. Starting a business begins with the end. By setting business goals you will find a clear path to your destination, like breadcrumbs to follow down the road. You have to be a very skilled business person to make a decent living taking pictures, and you'll get there much more quickly if you start out right.

Come Up With A Pricing Plan | Launching Photography Startups
How much will you charge for your services? It's a difficult question for every photographer, particularly when you're just starting out. Keep in mind that as a photographer, you are not competing with the cheap chain studios, so don't price like them. For every hour you spend shooting, you'll spend about three hours editing. You are providing a much more refined service, with 300% more time involved. Factor that into your rates. Create business pricing packages and draft contract templates for your clients. Coming up with these before you open your business will help you to run your business without having to worry about these details.
First Steps In Marketing Your Business | Launching Photography Startups
Once your portfolio is complete and your business is branded, it's time to begin marketing your photography business. Landing work through word of mouth is a powerful way to promote your business but it's not always available, particularly when you're just starting out. Thanks to the internet you can reach thousands or even millions of people within a few clicks. Online communities such as Facebook, Flickr, Blogger and Twitter can link your postings to a worldwide audience.

Invest In A Killer Website | Launching Photography Startups
Although there is still a need for directory books, newspaper ads and magazine listings – you have to consider building a strong presence on the internet. There are free website templates out there, but your website is like your own digital storefront. You want it to be impressive, so it's best to have a website professionally designed just for you. Google discriminates against websites that have large or high resolution images – so make sure to reduce your files to 72dpi. It is also a good idea to watermark your work, especially if you decide to sell your images online, and to list at least some of your prices. This helps manage potential client's expectations and keeps people from trying to negotiate for a lower price.

Referrals Are Essential | Launching Photography Startups
Word of mouth referrals are the most powerful sources of bookings for photographers. People are way more likely to trust the recommendation of a friend than an ad in a magazine. Join groups, forums, clubs, collectives, whatever you can. Make sure these people know about you and enjoy working with you, and you'll get referrals. Offer discounts to your current clients for referring people that they know, or offer discounts to them based upon the type of photography you are doing. For example, if a couple wants you to take their wedding photos, offer them an engagement sitting for free.

The best way to avoid travel risks is to stay home, but what fun is that? (After all, a long weekend relaxing on the beach might be the best thing for you.) With a little extra planning, you can travel safely throughout your pregnancy.
For plane, train, or automobile travel of more than a few hours, put support hose on. You can buy support stockings from any medical supply store. The thigh-high or maternity support hose will be more comfortable and effective than knee-highs.
Car travel. The most important rule is to wear your seat belt. A recent study of more than 440 pregnant women in car crashes showed that maternal mortality was six times higher when the woman was ejected from the automobile, and their unborn babies were five times as likely to die. Using a conventional lap belt alone has been shown to cause some injury to unborn babies, so wear a seat belt with a shoulder strap passed over the shoulder and across your chest between your breasts.
When you're on a long car trip, stop every 2 hours or so to stretch your legs and find a restroom. You don't want to rely on road food, so pack nutritious snacks and lots of water to keep you going. Break that 12-hour trip home to see family for the holidays into two days because at this stage of your pregnancy fatigue will be a major factor. Be sure your air conditioner is in good working order for summer trips because it's easy for you to feel overheated.
Air travel. You may have heard somewhere that air travel during early pregnancy is unsafe because of the link between exposure to solar radiation during pregnancy and childhood cancers. However, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists states that the risk from casual air travel is negligible. For example, one round-trip, cross-country flight delivers only 6 percent of the solar radiation exposure that the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements deems safe for pregnant women.
You will, however, want to book flights early to get the best possible seat. Look for flights that aren't full so you can put up your feet on an empty seat; choose an aisle or bulkhead seat for more legroom; and stand up and stretch or walk around during long flights. Pack lightly, roll your luggage on wheels, and bring a carry-on bag with energy-boosting snacks and bottled water.
Gas expands with altitude, so avoid eating any bloat-producing foods before you fly. Sip water during the flight to fight dehydration, which can be aggravated by the dry air in the cabin. Pack a pair of thick socks too and wear them instead of shoes while you're in the air. Your feet will likely swell whether you wear shoes or not, so choose comfortable footwear with expandable ties, adjustable straps, or elastic panels.
Traveling outside the United States requires extra planning during pregnancy. Check that your destination has a modern medical facility and ask your provider for a copy of your health records to take with you. For a physician referral for international travel, contact International SOS Assistance (1-215-942-8226; www.internationalsos.com) or the International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers (716-754-4883; www.iamat.org).
Find out your immunization status too, if you're leaving the country. Are your vaccines up to date for diseases that are common in the region? Avoid travel to any area where serious disease is a risk. If you have any questions about the health precautions that are currently being advised in a particular foreign country, call the Centers for Disease Control?s International Travelers Hotline (800-CDC-INFO; www.cdc.gov/travel/). Many immunizations are safe during pregnancy, while others are relatively safe only at certain times. Check with your doctor. In general, you must weigh the risks of having the vaccine against the risk of getting the disease it would protect you from. Certain vaccines, such as those for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or tetanus, are considered safe even during early pregnancy.
This might also be a good time to contact your insurance company to find out what it covers if you're out of the country. Also consider buying traveler's insurance in case pregnancy complications arise and you can't use those plane tickets after all.

New research in the atomic clock promises to be accurate to within 40 ms over the age of the universe, say physicists in the US and Australia.
A new atomic clock has been proposed by physicists in the US and Australia. The clock, based on a bismuth atom that has been stripped of 25 of its electrons, could be used to look for variations in the fine-structure constant – according to its designers. Experts claim this discovery could lead to a new unified theory of physics.
The best clocks of today use an atomic conversion as a time standard to measure time to an accuracy of about one part in 1017. Physicists are keen on building even better timepieces as they claim a clock with this heightened accuracy may help reveal minute changes in the world of physicists. They say it will help reveal the values of fundamental physical constants such as the fine-structure constant, a parameter that characterizes the strength of the electromagnetic interaction. Detecting possible variations that could help solve the biggest mystery of physics and give them insights into gravity, electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces.
As of March 2012, Corey Campbell's team at the Georgia Institute of Technology argued that the required level of precision could be attained by using a particular nuclear transition in the thorium-229 ion with a charge of 3+. This remains a prediction as a practical clock is unlikely as problems remain in calculations and use of radioactive resources.
Three of Campbell's collaborators have proposed a solution using highly charged ions. Andrei Derevianko of the University of Nevada in Reno and Vladimir Dzuba and Victor Flambaum of the University of New South Wales in Sydney, having been looking at traditional atomic clocks in order to compare their properties to that of nuclear clocks.
The most accurate current atomic clocks of today use aluminium ions (Al+) in an electromagnetic trap. Yet problems of stray fields in the trap can disrupt the energy levels of the ion and reduce the clock's performance.
The new clock is incredibly difficult to build but researchers remain adamant that a solution is possible. "It is much harder to trap and cool highly charged ions," explains Flambaum, "It is a new technique that has just started to appear. But people do this – it is not like our proposal just appeared out of the blue. It is just a new technology that requires new installations. It was much easier to work with neutral atoms or singly ionized atoms so of course people started from this, but now the time has come to search for other opportunities."
Atomic-clock expert, Helen Margolis, at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, is intrigued by the proposal. She believes that it poses many challenges before experiments can take place, stating: "People are very clever at dreaming up new ways to do things, but working on highly charged ions of this type is certainly not easy and they would need to do a lot of things that have never been done before."
Margolis does not share Derevianko's confidence that current calculations will produce reliable predictions:"It is true that for the highly charged ion clock the calculations of where these transitions occur are probably better but they are still not accurate enough to make the search for these transitions easy."

A Hope man is in jail after he allegedly made threats against another man and attacked him with a knife Thursday night.
Deputies Loe and Sorensen were dispatched to a residence at 3518 Highway 278 West at approximately 8:30 p.m. on March 23 for a possible stabbing. They were advised en route that the suspect, Kenneth Earl Lamb, 40, of Hope, was still at the residence and standing in the front yard with a knife but the victim, Chase Powell, had left already in a white Ford F-150. While the deputies responded to the scene, Officers from the Hope Police Department attempted to locate Chase in the city. Pafford EMS also responded but the call was cancelled since no one knew the location of Powell.
According to Hempstead County Sheriff James Singleton, Deputy Loe made contact with Lamb when he arrived on scene and told him to show his hands. Loe confiscated a camouflage and orange Mossy Oak knife from Lamb's back pocket.
Kayla Powell and her mother, Janie Williams, were on scene and told Deputy Loe Lamb had been at the residence all day and was extremely intoxicated. Kayla told Loe that she asked Lamb to leave six different times but he refused. She reported to Deputy Loe that she was about to call the Sheriff's Office when her husband Chase Powell arrived. She said Lamb had been waiting there for Chase.
Kayla told Deputies when Chase came up to the house, Lamb took the opportunity to come up behind Chase and attempt to stab him with the knife. She said she saw Lamb approaching and attempted to push Chase out of the way when he attacked. Kayla reported she wasn't sure if the knife made contact but Chase went to the ground and made a noise as if he had been struck. She said Lamb told Chase we would beat him the next time he saw him.
Deputy Loe placed Lamb under arrest for aggravated assault and terroristic Threatening, 1st degree. Lamb was placed in Deputy Sorensen's truck and transported to the Hemsptead County Detention Center. He is awaiting his first court appearance.
We are unable to ascertain the condition of Powell at this time.

The Christian is a student for life. At Second City Church we seek to engage our minds through ongoing discussions about love God and our neighbors in ways that effect real change. Through public lectures, our Sunday Seminar series, as well as weekly opportunities for young and old, we are learning the way of Christ. If you have any questions about these or other opportunities send an email to Dean Curry.
Sunday Seminars
If Jesus is truly Lord then he is Lord of every arena of our lives. Body, soul and spirit are his. The home, the workplace, and our civic lives are his. But surrendering these arenas to him doesn't happen overnight. Sunday Seminars exist to provide a venue for conversations about how we might enter an 'all-of-life' discipleship. 'Seminarians' study and discuss theological and culturally-relevant questions, seeking to become grounded by a Christian view of the world, and prepared to shine God's light in that world. Seminars run in 6-8 week modules and take place at 9:00 am Sunday mornings at the church. All are welcome to join at any time.
Children's Ministry
Second City Church seeks to educate children ages 3-4 and 5-6 in the basics of our faith in two classes that take place during our Sunday worship service.
Hoover-Wagner/Room for One More
The Hoover-Wagner Men's class and the Room For One More (RFOM) Women's class meet together between 9:00 and 10:00 on Sunday mornings in the room below the sanctuary. The class is taught by a variety of men and women.

A controversial bill critics said would give amnesty to operators of illegal video gambling machines stalled in the House on Friday after quietly passing the Senate two days earlier.
The controversy arose after the state's top gambling regulator became aware of a one-sentence passage in the bill he said would have required a felony conviction before the Illinois Gaming Board could deny a license.

Keep in mind this issue was caused by our state government's mismanagement of funds!!! So who wants to give up their retirement pensions of any profession for our leaders to do same thing with it ... all this was done very shady from the get go ... our leaders need to look themselves in the mirror and honestly say they did the right thing to our teachers , our policeman , our firefighters and all state employees that this is affecting , I don't think they can ... and to all the posters saying suck it up and deal with it , well you won't understand until the government does it to you , let's see how you feel if you are wearing those shoes!!!Advertisement

I love all the posters who are claiming to look at the situation from a "logical" standpoint, leaving "emotions" and "hyperbole" out of their arguments. In your quest to remain dispassionate, many of you have displayed the very lack of the number one soft skills teachers must possess:. Empathy. You are so bent on reducing everything down to an equation and a dollar figure.

If the support of the teachers and the teachers concerns are hyperbole, then the attempt to disparage is equally hyperbolic. In the end, it all comes off as condescending to those who chose teaching, demeaning them for fighting to retain the benefits they were promised. Disparaging their education and skills.
And lastly, I'm no teacher, but some of you could have stood to have paid a bit more attention in your grammar classes.

I have seen many threads and posts on BGP referencing what is wrong with kids today? Please explain how your post on the influence of teachers has played a role in the increase of drug deaths, school shootings and kids having a lack of respect?
I still put the ownership of these actions in the hands of the parents. Not sure you do after reading this post?

No school for Boone county Monday.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
The Boone County School District, in collaboration with the Boone County Education Association and the Boone County Board of Education, has decided to close schools on Monday, April 2, 2018.
Our response comes after yesterday's press conference with the Kentucky Education Association request for school closure. This will allow not just public school employees, but also the public and their families travel to Frankfort to advocate for Funding for Public Education.
Drastic times call for drastic action. Although, closing school is the last thing anyone wants to do, one of the reasons for this decision to close school is because educators feel one of their main responsibilities is to advocate for the children of the Commonwealth. We have attempted every other means of communication, action, and advocacy. Now, it seems that our Governor and Legislature still have not yet internalized the importance of putting our students and families first. We encourage all of our Boone County families and community to travel with us in solidarity. We must educate our lawmakers on the need to find new streams of revenue to fully fund our vital Public Services, including Public Education.
Randy Poe, Ed.D.

I didn't say teachers know more about kids than parents. I said teachers more about a parents kids at times. So I didn't speak in absolutes like it was implied in your post.
The fact that teachers will spend more time with some of their students than the parent is just a statement on our society today.
Schools for a very very long have time taught what is refered to as the hidden curriculum. Social skills and many other things that are not on a test.

While performing at the Apple Music Festival in London Tuesday evening and putting on another great show, Harry Styles couldn't help but have something big on his mind.
Harry took a break from his set list to let his audience know that his older sister Gemma Styles was actually on a date at their very concert!
In fact, Harry told his older sister and her fella to behave themselves.
And though he seemingly couldn't spot them from the stage, we're guessing Gemma's cheeks must've been literally burning from the embarrassing brotherly shoutout.
The pop hunk, dressed in a loud pink polka dot shirt, joined his three band mates as they headlined a gig as part of the Apple Music Festival, supported by Little Mix.  For a split second during the concert he seemed distracted, we sympathized with him, knowing he might've been thinking about the band's impending hiatus; something that's been heavy on our minds as well. Or maybe he was finding it hard to focus on singing old songs after the band just made their exciting album announcement or quite possibly, he was simply bemused by his own pink polka dot shirt LOL. All of those explanations would've been perfectly understandable, but none of them were the culprit invading Harry's thoughts. Rather, he was too preoccupied by a certain girl in the room. In between songs, Harry not-so-subtly called out his older sister, Gemma, and her date, who were apparently in the audience.
Go through the whole post to read the rest of the story, see pictures, watch the video clip and exciting news!
He may be the one of the biggest pop sensations in the world, but that hasn't stopped Harry Styles from being super protective when it comes to his loved ones.
During One Direction's highly-anticipated set at Apple Music Festival on Tuesday, the 21-year-old frontman joked that he was keeping his eye on his sister Gemma, who had brought a date to their gig.
'Sorry if I seem a little distracted,' he told the buzzing crowd. 'My sister is on a date. They're up there somewhere… So just please behave yourselves, it's disgusting.'

- Juce: A Different Kind of Girl Band
- City Pop Trends in the Japanese Indie Music Industry
Ahead of the show, supporting act Little Mix performed a show-stopper of a set to hundreds of lucky fans at the Roundhouse in London's Camden.
Putting on a passionate performance, the girls showed off their impressive vocal ability and killer dance-moves as they got the crowds ready for 1D's performance.
It's been six months since Perrie Edward's ex Zayn Malik quit the band to focus on being a 'normal 22-year-old.'
