- Career advice
In China work is concentrated in cities and foreigners are most commonly employed by multi-national companies and foreign investment companies.
Hiring Trends and Geographies
Multinational Companies (MNCs) and Foreign-Invested Enterprises (FIEs) employ the vast majority of foreigners, so increase your chances by targeting these rather than state owned companies. If you have qualifications and professional experience in manufacturing, engineering, medical or environmental technology, production, product and quality management, you would possess valuable "hard skills" for working in China. Given this, it might be worth considering working the UK to build up your work experience and skill set before heading East.
Once there, the vast majority of graduate level jobs are found in the cities, and 9.3 million jobs were created in China's urban areas in 2011. Referral is the key way of gaining a job in China, so be patient and build up a network of contacts to help you find a role.
In China personal and family networks play a huge role in social and work life. As a foreigner you might like to start building your networks online, at www.weibo.com and www.renren.com
If you'd like to work in China before graduation, The British Council offer internships in China to current UK students.
Working Culture
The working culture in China is based around a 35-40 week with a break in the middle of the day for lunch. Most business work Monday to Friday with a few working Saturday, but this is not the norm. Chinese businesses are very hierarchical and so it will be important for you express opinions quietly and with humility to more senior members of staff: 'saving face' is valued and so will often lead to answers like 'maybe' or 'perhaps' rather than an outright 'no'!
China has strict immigration rules. Application take around 4 working days and must be paid for in non-cash forms. For more details see The Chinese Embassy and Chinese Visa Application Service Center.
Websites particularly geared up for overseas workers are http://jobonline.thecareersgroup.co.uk, www.foreignhr.com and http://www.expatjobschina.com. Other large sites are www.chinajob.com and www.51job.com To find out more about the country visit http://english.gov.cn/

Even complex challenges can be successful at low cost and in relatively short time frames. For example, in 2002 the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) presented an open challenge to a diffuse population of civilian groups to create autonomous vehicles that could navigate an obstacle course. The first iteration of this "Grand Challenge" in 2004 was fraught with failure. But groups learned from one another, and independently modified the wide variety of first-generation designs, selecting out poor performers and replicating successful components, resulting in high success in the second year which encouraged DARPA to issue yet more complex challenges in subsequent years. The most recent DARPA challenge (to find ten weather balloons scattered around the United States) was solved within a few hours by activating thousands of independent observers on the internet. 13
A decentralized organizational structure works because it allows organisms to deal with uncertainty. Uncertainty that is created by variation lies at the core of a wide range of security concerns. Organisms in nature actively exploit uncertainty and turn it to their advantage by creating uncertainty for their adversaries and reducing uncertainty for themselves. Predators create uncertainty by stalking from hidden vantage points, but when possible, prey reduce this uncertainty by vocally or behaviorally signaling the presence of predators – a strategy that both warns fellow prey about the threat and indicates to the predator that the element of uncertainty has been removed.
Margo Morrison Baroque Pearl Pendant Necklace 18 7bBL2iYkV
To be effective the signaling must be directly tied to immediate threats. For example, ground squirrels will make vocal signals to bird and mammal predators (which can hear) but switch to "tail flagging" displays to deter snakes (which cannot hear), and will additionally heat their tails only when encountered by particular snakes (pit vipers) that can sense infrared signals. 15 By contrast, when organisms in a community make constant alarm calls regardless of the immediacy of the threat they only increase uncertainty for other members of the group, who must waste resources determining if the alarm is true or false. Blue Nile Monica Rich Kosann TwoTone Basket Woven Locket in Sterling Silver and 18k Yellow Gold bO6KtIiX
Analogously, the U.S. National Threat Advisory, which has remained at level "orange" for aviation since August 2006, 17 is not aimed at deterring a particular threat and does little to reduce uncertainty among innocent travelers. We can vastly increase the uncertainty for our adversaries by just doing a small amount of random things every day in our security procedures. Currently we waste enormous resources to screen 100 percent of the people passing through security with little benefit. Laying aside the fact that this doesn't even work to find the things we are looking for (knives, guns, explosive materials, and 6 oz. tubs of strawberry yogurt, all have which have been brought through security in recent years without detection), 18 it also gives us almost no extra protection from real attackers.

Unlike other state-run exchanges, Connect for Health Colorado does not receive compensation from CMS for enrolling applicants in Medicaid, despite the fact that the exchange enrolled nearly 80,000 people in Medicaid during the 2015 open enrollment period (Medicaid enrollment continues year-round). CEO Kevin Patterson is working to change that, and hopes to secure millions of dollars in Medicaid reimbursements to supplement existing revenue sources for the exchange.
The four other state-run exchanges with similar enrollment totals all receive at least a third of their funding – and as much as more than half of their funding – from Medicaid. But Connect for Health Colorado doesn't get any funding from Medicaid (and agents/brokers who enroll people in Medicaid through Connect for Health Colorado don't receive any compensation, unlike other states).
The exchange can request reimbursement from CMS for expenses incurred to enroll people in Medicaid, and the 2016 revenue projection includes $2.5 million in recouped funds from CMS. That still pales in comparison with the $15 million to $29 million that other similarly-sized exchanges are reimbursed annually by Medicaid.
Colorado is
Angara Claw Set Peridot Diamond Pendant in Platinum IIdYex
– Massachusetts is the other – where total individual market enrollment declined in 2014. Nationwide, individual market enrollment, including on and off-exchange policies as well as grandfathered and grandmothered plans, increased by 46 percent in 2014. But in Colorado, enrollment dropped by 4 percent. This was despite the fact that Colorado's population Roberto Coin Princess 18K Yellow Gold Diamond Initial Necklace I SHREJpB1
from mid-2013 to mid-2014 – only three states had a higher percentage growth in population.
However, the state-run exchange, Connect for Health Colorado, saw private plan enrollment grow to
John Hardy Palu 18k Gold amp; Silver 5Station Cuff be2G5a
people during the 2015 open enrollment period – an increase of about 10 percent over the total at the end of the 2014 open enrollment period. By April 2015, total enrollment in medical plans had grown to 145,506, and 88 percent of those enrollments had been effectuated by the beginning of May.
In July, Connect for Health Colorado released an
Sole Society Womens Enchantment Statement Earrings Gold One Size From Sole Society asi3W5
, and total effectuated enrollment stood at 138,502. But that included SHOP enrollments as well as people who purchased dental-only coverage. The report also includes the number of effectuated medical plan enrollments with and without premium subsidies and cost-sharing subsidies (74,583 with subsidies, and 59,617 without). These are medical-only plans, so adding the two amounts together, we get 134,200 people with in-force medical coverage through the exchange as of the end of June. And that number had grown to 137,372 by the end of July.

of Colorado's exchange enrollees picked nonprofit health plans in 2015: 40 percent chose Colorado HealthOP, the ACA-created CO-OP, 35 percent selected Kaiser Permanente, and 15 percent went with Rocky Mountain Health Plans. Kaiser got 46 percent of exchange enrollees in 2014, and auto-enrollment likely helped their retention, despite the fact that Colorado HealthOP offered the lowest rates in all but one of the rating areas in Colorado for 2015.
In another harbor, a team of engineers and researchers are planning a ring-shaped skyscraper that will generate three times more energy than it needs, a world-first for a high-rise. "In small buildings, with solar photovoltaics on the roof, it's quite easy to make an energy-neutral building," says Duzan Doepel, partner and founder at
Zales Mens Diamond Accent Wedding Band in 10K Gold N4LaUG
, the firm creating the building, called the Dutch Windwheel . "But when you're talking about a building with more than 60,000 square meters, it becomes a completely different story."
The inner circle of the building will use a new form of wind technology that generates power silently, without moving parts. Organic waste from the apartments inside will generate biogas, sending power back to the apartments. Solar panels will add more energy. All together, the hybrid system will produce energy on a scale that usually happens on wind or solar farms outside cities. The building will be self-sufficient.
Floating in yet another harbor, dome-shaped pavilions host events. Near the port, architects are planning a floating hotel, and a dock built for entrepreneurs will soon test new floating technology. An artist built a "forest" of floating trees . A new neighborhood of floating apartments will open in 2017 in another harbor.
The projects are partly a way to make use of available space; harbor areas that were once used for shipping are now empty. In the 1970s, when the oil crisis shut down parts of the port, many workers were laid off and left the city. By the early 2000s, ports in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, and other Asian cities had overtaken Rotterdam in size. The port, while still huge, became a smaller part of the local economy. Because newer, massive container ships also couldn't fit in the old harbor areas, commercial shipping started to consolidate on new areas of reclaimed land next to the sea. That left empty spaces that the city wanted to fill, and room for the inventive plans that are happening now.
"When the port activities moved, they left a very large inner city area which offers huge chances for redevelopment," says Verhoeven. "Those areas are right in the city center–very strategic locations."
The city ports, called
Angara Solitaire Heart Sapphire Leverback Earrings with Diamond in Rose Gold mwpBYBJSF4
, left 1,600 hectares of abandoned space available for use. As the city invested in redevelopment, one of its strategies is to focus on experimentation in new designs for climate change and sustainability–including the new floating infrastructure. On brownfields next to the water, the city has also started turning old industrial buildings into cleantech hubs. Former harbors are now city-driven innovation districts.
Throughout the city, the abundance of open space has also helped drive experimentation by giving creative people a cheap place to work. As the shipping industry moved, it left huge empty warehouses next to harbors throughout the city–places where entrepreneurs or designers could easily find affordable space to rent. After the last financial crisis, even more vacant space opened up.

Kate at the helm as she sails the Solent with Sir Ben Ainslie
The Duchess of Cambridge took the helm of a racing yacht for a thrilling high-speed ride with Olympic legend Sir Ben Ainslie.
Kate donned safety gear including a helmet and lifejacket to join the multiple gold medal-winner aboard his 45ft catamaran T1 for a training circuit in the Solent.
Earlier she had wowed as she recycled a sleek nautical-themed Alexander McQueen outfit for her visit to the Land Rover BAR racing team in nearby Portsmouth.
The Duchess of Cambridge meets Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire Lindsay Fox, Sir Keith Mills and Sir Ben Ainslie as she arrives at the Land Rover BAR Base HQ in Portsmouth
She previously wore the outfit on a June 2014 visit to Bletchley Park. It was the third time that the duchess has visited the BAR (Ben Ainslie Racing) base, having dropped by before the centre was opened and again during the first round of the America's Cup World Series which was held in the city last July before being cut short by heavy winds and rain.
Crowds gathered to watch as the duchess was transferred on to the catamaran - a trial model as the team develops its racing vessel - for the hour-long trip from Portsmouth Harbour to near the Isle of Wight.
Kate, a keen sailor, could be seen helping with the rigging as the catamaran was preparing to sail before she took the controls, the role normally taken by skipper Sir Ben.
As the catamaran reached a top speed of 34 knots, the catamaran first of all raised up on to one of the hulls before rising up into the air where it skimmed along with both hulls in the air and only the foils remaining in the water.
The support vessels struggled to keep up with the catamaran as it flew over the choppy water as it headed back to Portsmouth from the Island.
Kate and her team of four professional sailors, including Sir Ben, carried out three loops of the route before heading back to base.
Before taking to the water, the duchess toured the Land Rover BAR (Ben Ainslie Racing) base at Old Portsmouth. In her role as royal patron of the 1851 Trust sailing charity, Kate launched two initiatives aimed at involving children and young adults from diverse backgrounds in sailing and the technology of the sport.
Kate first of all launched the 1851 Trust's sailing project being run in partnership with the UKSA and the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation and see the boats which will be used.
She then officially opened the new 'Tech Deck' Education Centre at the base, which showcases the sport's innovation, technology and sustainability for schools and community groups.
The Tech Deck allows visitors to experience the design principles, construction and on-going operation of the team's America's Cup boats first-hand.
During her tour, Kate was given a demonstration of a grinder, the turning device needed to pump the sails in and out, by 12-year-old Oliver Matthews after which she congratulated him for his hard work which had brought the pupil of St Edmund's Catholic School in a sweat.
Speaking afterwards, he said: "I went on the grinding machine and grinder for Kate to show how hard it was and it was very tiring.
"She said to me it looked very tiring and well done."
The duchess was then shown a bone conductor radio kit which transmits sound through a pad placed on the forehead.
After trying it out, Kate said: "It's fantastic, it's as if it comes straight through your head."
The duchess then joined year seven students from St Edmund's School, in Portsmouth, who were taking part in a #STEMCREW digital workshop activity on i-Pads which aims to encourage young people to engage in Stem (Science Technology Engineering and Maths) subjects by focusing on the America's Cup challenge.
She then unveiled a painting to mark the opening of the centre which was a section of a mural which she contributed to on an earlier visit to the base as it was under construction.
Speaking after returning to base, Sir Ben said he had been "amazed" at how well Kate had taken the helm and he would happily give her a place on his team.
He said: "I think the duchess had a great time, it certainly looked that way. It was perfect sailing conditions, we had about 15 knots of wind, we were going up to 33 or 34 knots which is close to 40mph.
"The duchess was steering the boat for about half of the session and I think the guys were all really impressed with how well she had sailed, she had done a bit of sailing before.
"We had a great sail, it was a blast and she thoroughly enjoyed it."
He continued: "There were a few moments from the front of the boat that she was a better helms person than I am so I wasn't too happy about that so you never know I might give her a place.
"It was great to have the duchess supporting the team as patron of the 1851 Trust and supporting our America's Cup bid and it's a real buzz when she is here sailing and joining us."
The Duchess of Cambridge also met Sir Keith Mills during her visit to the 1851 Trust

The latest flap over the Congressional speaking invitation to Bibi Netanyahu is just one reason we need to question why Western leaders are not standing up to Iran. The White House is miffed and will not even meet with Netanyahu when he is in Washington for the address. This comes at a time when President Obama is promising to veto any bill Congress sends him placing additional sanctions on the terror-sponsoring regime in Teheran.
Instead, Obama prefers to continue his fool's errand of joining with his inept European partners, like Catherine Ashton, head of EU Foreign Affairs, in negotiating with a regime that can never be trusted to shut down its nuclear program. Netanyahu understands the threat clearly, and that is why he has been invited to speak before Congress-much to the anger and consternation of the WH.
As we speak, Iran is effectively in charge of the capitals of 4 Arab nations, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon, yet, Obama sees no need to confront them.
Add to that the recent murder of an Argentine prosecutor who was investigating the 20-year-old bombing of a Jewish center in Buenos Aires, in which figures from the Iranian government were implicated. Over 80 people died. The prosecutor, Alberto Nisman was charging that the current Argentine government under Cristina Kirschner, was conspiring with Iran to keep the issue under wraps in exchange for Iranian oil and over trade agreements. The day he was supposed to testify in front of the Argentine Congress, he was killed.
Iran is an existential threat to every country in the region, most prominently Israel, which the mullahs vow to destroy. If they get that nuclear weapon, they will use it-even if they know they will also be obliterated in response. They are that crazy.
And here is what is really scary. Most experts predict that by the time Obama leaves office, they will have it.

eLUXURY, the first online retailer of high end goods is shutting its "doors" later this month on June 26th. Brick and mortar stores have been closing their doors for the past year, but eLUXURY is the first online retailer to shut down their e-commerce business.
When I heard the news I was a bit surprised. After all, online shops have a much lower overhead than physical retail stores. Furthermore, eLUXURY specializes in selling high-end products, most notably Louis Vuitton. Though the global economy is in crisis, the rich are still rich, and are still shopping…so what gives?
I think that luxury goods companies are feeling the effects of the recession – but, not only because of decreased purchases by their wealthy customers. Many purchasers of luxury goods are "aspirational" – like many M.I.S.S. readers – we save up our hard earned pennies for that It bag, to die for shoes, or {insert your coveted luxury item of the season here}. Not necessarily "wealthy," these aspirational buyers are a bit younger, want to reward themselves for their hard work and are more likely to purchase online.
Aspirational buyers are heavily affected by the global recession: With layoffs and unemployment rising, people are re-thinking whether they really need that It bag when they are worried about paying the rent. Is luxury completely dead? No, I don't think so. But for beginning on June 26th, eLUXURY will be nothing more than a memory.

Hard rockers The Senton Bombs hope they won't be needing to take out a Mass Vendetta to promote their latest release.
The Blackpool-based band are celebrating signing to a new label, ahead of the release of their fourth studio album.
he label seem really confident, and we're pleased with the album too. It's a bit more diverse, with metal, punk and hard rock all on their
'Shopping around' for a new label to take their music to a wider audience, the Bombs have been signed by 7Hard and have high hopes of boosting their appeal around the world.
The Germany-based label will release album Mass Vendetta on April 15, following the appropriately-named lead single Trailblazer going to radio in January.
"The last two records we've released with two labels have both been British based," the band's Joey Class said. "They were getting stuff out but we wanted more with this new record.
"We shopped around and had a few labels interested.
"7Hard distributes in other countries' markets, and their distribution partners are Sony and Universal - who doesn't know who they are?
"That was it, decision made, we knew it had to be that one."
Inspired by the likes of big, classic rock bands Aerosmith and AC/DC, as well as American and English 70s punk, The Senton Bombs know their appeal is potentially limited on home turf.
Yet, after more than a decade on the British gigging and festival scene, the band has in recent years enjoyed European success too, which Joey and his bandmates Damien Kage, Scott Mason and Johnny Gibbons hope to now build on.
"We have been gigging round England for a long time with a cult following, as our music's hard rock which is not the current chart favourite," Joey said.
"But with this label we know it can go into Europe and America as the music is more popular over there.
"Last year we went to Denmark, this year we've toured Germany and the Netherlands, and they have a big rock scene; their pop charts aren't dominated by Justin Bieber or Rihanna."
After the Christmas break, the band will be back in the boardroom with 7Hard to work on the details of their marketing campaign for the release.
Joey added: "The label seem really confident, and we're pleased with the album too. It's a bit more diverse, with metal, punk and hard rock all on their.
"We're going to be giving it as much as possible, and are starting to eye up bigger things - so who knows where it will lead?"

Are you forgetting how the hours slipped when you were dealing with your cell phone? Are you from the ones who could not finish work while surfing the internet in the workplace? Do you wake up at night and check your cell phone to see how many "like" your photo gets on facebook? Are you checking your tablet before taking a coffee as you wake up in the morning? And all these habits seem normal to you. You are addicted to technology just like millions of people in the world nowadays.
Technology addiction, also known as Internet addiction, Internet use disorder (IUD) or Internet addiction disorder (IAD) is a fairly new phenomenon. It's mostly described as a problem involving the inability to control use of various kinds of technology, in particular the Internet, smartphones, tablets and social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
In today's world it's easy to access the Web and social media from almost anywhere. Most of us are dependent on communicating via the tiny computers we carry with us. Thus, it's no surprise that health experts are seeing an increase in addictive tendencies to technology. Technology addiction is not as innocent as you can ignore. Especially, in the cases of video games, cybersex/online pornography and online gambling, the addiction to technology easily can become a threat for your life and for the people around you by preventing your daily life.
Technology addiction isn't recognized as addictions or disorders in the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) which is a reference used by health care providers to diagnose mental health conditions. Just "excessive playing of video games" named "Internet Use Gaming Disorder" was added to the DSM-5 in 2013 with the condition of further study recommendation.
Although this problem has taken place in the agendas of health professionals since the 1990s as the use of internet and smart technologic vehicles entered to our lives, it is really a big problem that technology addiction isn't yet a recognized as a disorder. Health experts has been continuing to study on this area as the psychological and physical and even vital problems started to occur in the society. In 1995 the Center for Internet Addiction was established and the first treatment plan for technology addiction based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques was created.
The way technology addiction is defined can differ from country to country. Surveys in the U.S. and Europe show that between 1.5% and 8.2% of the population suffers from Internet addiction in the early 2000's. Researchers at Stanford University made a telephone survey in 2006 which found that twenty percent of Americans have at least one possible sign of problematic Internet use. The statistics in the U.S. show that technology addiction in the US is mostly related to smartphones, texting and social media. Technology addiction is recognized as a widespread health problem in most of the countries, including Australia, China, Japan, India, Italy, Japan, Korea and Taiwan, where dedicated clinics to address this growing issue were established.
Like other types of addiction, technology addiction can order from moderate to severe. Like other addictions, people who use their phones or stay online for many hours a day experience the similar feelings and also feel withdrawal when cut off. The amount of time spent with the digital device doesn't show the problem of technology addiction. When the excessive use of digital devices affects your mental and physical health, daily life, relationships and academic or job performance, this means the disorder has started to occur.
According to the health experts working on technology addiction, the symptoms are specifically compulsive checking of text messages, frequent changing of Facebook status and uploading of "selfies", a feeling of euphoria while on the Web, social withdrawal, loss of interest in activities that don't involve a computer, phone or gadget, feelings of restlessness when unable to go online. Technology addiction also causes stress, sleep disorders and depression.
If you're concerning about excessive use of technologic devices by you or by a loved one, it may be time to look for a health care professional or psychotherapist who can evaluate symptoms, make a diagnosis or rule out an addiction to technology and recommend a treatment plan. Don't be upset about your addiction to technology, because today there are a variety of available resources to help, whether you've just noticed the problem or have seen it worsen over time.

During an appearance on BBC Radio's The Matt Edmondson Show, Hugh Jackman was asked to sing the song "Who Am I" from Les Miserable with some new lyrics. And even he, near the end of the song, admitted that this new version just might work.
"Who am I," Hugh sings. "WOLVERINE!"
Here's a little sneak peak into Wolverine The Musical. (May it never actually be a real musical.)
The reviews are in!

Vision Statement
In the Kalamazoo community, we are recognized as a home for religious values including freedom of thought, fairness, inclusion, and environmental responsibility. Our congregation embraces diversity. We live courageously in right relations to develop meaningful relationships.

Church Organizational Structure
People's Church is one of approximately 1,000 congregations in the United States that are voluntary members of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Like all of these other congregations, our church is autonomous; the members 'run' the church through the elected Board of Trustees, whose nine members serve overlapping three-year terms. In democratically conducted meetings, our members make decisions on matters of policy, election of officers, fiscal and social concerns and the calling of a minister.
As part of the UUA, we are also linked with Unitarian Universalist partners in more than 20 other countries around the world. The Board of People's Church has partnered with the Unitarian congregation of Kovaszna, Romania for many years, and has recently begun a partnership with Burundi in Africa. This partnership helps to facilitate our understanding of Unitarian Universalism in other cultural, social and religious contexts.
The trustees agree that the responsibilities of each member include being present and active in the life of People's Church by being intentional about personal religious growth and learning, and by supporting the church with one's time and talents, as well as a financial pledge.

Vert Woods Community Woodland is made up of 171 acres of mixed woodland, near Lewes in East Sussex. We want to protect this lovely place but also make it easier for people like you to visit – and experience the benefits of a stronger connection with nature. Our aim is to create a social enterprise and working woodland that benefits both the local community and the local ecology.
Vert Woods is part of a much larger forest, which is officially described as Plantation on Ancient Woodlands (PAWS). This means there have been trees here for hundreds – even thousands – of years, but many were cleared or replanted over the last century.
A local philanthropist called Roger Ross shared our vision and bought the woods in 2015.
Since then we have:
- helped disadvantaged families and groups of young people use the woods, through Circle of Life Rediscovery's education programme
- held special walks, community fun days and courses
- worked with Plumpton College students, volunteers and commercial foresters to start managing the woods in a sustainable way
- created a Community Benefit Society, management committee and advisory group
- assessed the flora and fauna, archeology and health of the trees
- set up a 10-year management plan with the Forestry Commission
- developed a business plan
- signed a lease with the landowner, Roger Ross.
Want to help? Here's what we need:
- people with financial, legal, marketing and fundraising skills to join our management committee
- volunteers to help with the physical management of the woodland
- investors to become members of our Community Benefit Society (for more info email firstname.lastname@example.com to join our mailing list)
- followers on Twitter and likes on our Facebook page.

When he ran for the District 30 House of Delegates seat in 1990, Phillip D. Bissett took up a position to the political right of other Republicans in the race. This time, he calls himself the moderate on the ticket.
Joan Beck, 61, of Hillsmere Estates and Ralph "Rocky" Rosacker, 45, an Annapolis business consultant, talk about cutting taxes and reducing government. They support Republican gubernatorial candidate Ellen Sauerbrey and her plan to cut the state income tax by 24 percent during the next four years.
Mr. Bissett, who was appointed in 1991 to fill the House seat left vacant when Dr. Aris T. Allen died, boasts of his ability to work "both sides of the aisles" and is not endorsing Mrs. Sauerbrey.

The state government is gouging the pockets of motorists by rolling out more mobile speed cameras, the opposition says.
Opposition roads spokesman Ryan Park said NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell has broken a promise not to use mobile speed cameras as revenue-raisers, after the government made record revenues in its first year.
He said in 2011/12, the state government has reaped $3.61 million in revenue from mobile speed cameras, more than double what was brought in the previous year.
"In opposition, Mr O'Farrell said mobile speed cameras were revenue-raisers, but now he is using them to gouge record amounts of money out of the pockets of motorists," Mr Park said in a statement.
Mr Park said those revenues will only increase once 109 new fixed speed cameras and 42 mobile speed cameras are rolled out, along with increased hours mobile speed cameras operate.
"Clearly this is a desperate grab for cash at the expense of motorists."

Clarendon, Ogwumike and VanDerveer named WBCA national awards finalists
By the Pac-12 Conference
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - California guard Layshia Clarendon and Stanford forward Chiney Ogwumike are among 12 finalists for the 2013 State Farm Wade Trophy, the WBCA announced Wednesday. The award is presented annually to the nation's most outstanding NCAA Division I women's basketball player.
Clarendon, the Conference's sixth-leading scorer (16.0 ppg), is also among the league leaders in field goal percentage (.452), assists (2.88 apg) and steals (1.67 spg).
Ogwumike, who was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year earlier this month, leads the league in field goal percentage (.580), rebounding (13.0 rpg) and scoring (22.3 ppg). She ranks third, fourth and seventh in the NCAA in those categories, respectively.
The candidates were selected by a vote of committee members consisting of leading basketball coaches, journalists and administrators. The winner will be announced during the WBCA Awards Show, which will be held at 5 p.m. CT Monday, April 8, in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center's New Orleans Theatre. The event is part of the WBCA National Convention and is held in conjunction with the NCAA® Women's Final Four.
The 12 finalists are now candidates for the 10-member WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches' All-America Team, which will be selected in April.
The WBCA also announced that Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer has been named a finalist for the 2013 RUSSELL ATHLETIC/WBCA Division I National Coach of the Year Award.
VanDerveer is one of eight finalists along with Muffet McGraw (Notre Dame), Brenda Frese (Maryland), Holly Warlick (Tennessee), Tricia Cullop (Toledo), Kim Mulkey (Baylor), Coquese Washington (Penn State) and Beth Burns (San Diego State).
VanDerveer has won the award twice, first in 1989 and most recently in 2011.

Don't forget to enter my cookbook giveaway!
I only had a few eggs left and didn't want to use them all, so I found a vegan acorn squash muffin on A Whisk and A Prayer that sounded good. I already had to turn on the oven for a bar recipe I was making for a party, so I baked the bars and roasted the acorn squash at the same time. By the time the acorn squash was done, I had already prepped the recipe below. All I needed to do was to add the acorn squash and it was ready to bake.
These muffins were pretty impressive, especially since they were vegan. My muffins got a very beautiful deep brown, and they crisped up nicely (although not as much as I had hoped). The interiors of the muffins were soft and fluffy and reminded me of a pumpkin muffin. The molasses added a deep, sweet flavor and nicely complemented the cinnamon and nutmeg. If you want to take these muffins to the next level, you can always add a layer of streusel on top.
Vegan acorn squash muffins
- 2 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup + 2 TBSP acorn squash puree
- 3/4 cup soy milk (or milk of choice)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup water
- ¼ cup oil
- 2 TBSP molasses
If you have a fresh acorn squash and need to turn it into a puree, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Wash the acorn squash and cut it in half. Scoop out the seeds and stringy stuff from the middle and place the acorn squash face down in a high-sided baking pan lined with aluminum foil. Fill the pan with about 1/2 inch of water and bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes or until the acorn squash is soft. Allow the squash to cool down slightly. Scoop out the flesh and puree in a blender or food processor. You will need 1 cup and 2 TBSP of puree for these muffins.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease (or spray) a standard muffin pan and set aside (I used my silicone muffin pan and did not grease it). You do not want to use paper liners because the muffins will stick to them.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the squash puree, milk, brown sugar, water, oil and molasses.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until the mixture is just combined. You do not want to overmix this.
Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin wells and bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool completely before serving.
Muffins can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 3-5 days or can be frozen for several weeks and reheated in the microwave.
Yield: About 14 muffins

The valour of Lupicinus and his military skill are acknowledged by the historian, who, in his affected language, accuses the general of exalting the horns of his pride, bellowing in a tragic tone, and exciting a doubt whether he was more cruel or avaricious. The danger from the Scots and Picts was so serious, that Julian himself had some thoughts of passing over into the island.

The Zune has always been the underdog of the portable music market.
Initially rolled out by Microsoft in 2006, it was positioned as a wannabe iPod killer—and was promptly squashed by Apple's popular system. Now the Zune HD, a redesigned, flashier version of the system, is hitting retail shelves. Can Microsoft make a bigger impact this time around?

How to access anywhere
I was flipping through my friend Chris Suspect's incredible photos tonight when I came across this gem.
This photo of a man with a bucket reminded me of a trick you can use to get access to anywhere. The bucket trick is simple really, anyone can do it.
If you're dying to get back stage at a concert, or perhaps you're just trying to get past a long line of people, just pick up a buck and walk with authority. Tell the security guard, bouncer, gatekeeper that Sam needs this bucket!
You'll feel like Moses parting the Red Sea, as you confidently stroll through the doors. All with the help of a bucket.
Thanks for the inspiration Chris.

Apple rolled out a new iPhone 4 commercial over the weekend that shows off the combination iPod and smartphone working on both AT&T and Verizon's mobile phone networks. The ad shows both versions of the iPhone performing the same tasks, implying that the phone works the same on the two networks.
Verizon will start selling the iPhone 4 at the beginning of February, marking the first time the device will be available in the U.S. on more than one carrier. Previously, AT&T has an exclusive agreement with Apple as the only carrier in the country.
Apple built a special version of the iPhone 4 for Verizon's wireless network because the GSM wireless technology the company relied on ever since the phone was first launched isn't compatible with the CDMA technology Verizon uses.
While most features in the Verizon version of the iPhone 4 work exactly like the features in the AT&T version, there are a few differences. The Verizon version, for example, will sport a Wi-Fi hotspot feature that lets users share their iPhone's 3G data connection with up to five devices. The AT&T version, however, supports simultaneous voice and data connections and can be used in Europe.
Apple's new Two is Better than One commercial is currently available on the YouTube Web site.

Mason teacher runs 40 miles on 40th birthday
MASON, Ohio —
A Mason teacher who loves her students set a goal and accomplished it.
WLWT was at the Menchie's Frozen Yogurt Store in Mason Wednesday night when Amy Hammond finished running 40 miles on her 40th birthday.
Family, friends, students and parents were there to celebrate with her.
Hammond got up at 4 a.m. Wednesday and ran 14.5 miles before her work day at Mason Intermediate. She did another 4 miles during her lunch hour and then after school knocked out nearly 22 more.
"You only get one go at this life," Hammond said.
Hammond said she even made a surprise visit to her own kids, who are in fifth and seventh grades, at one point jogging in and out of their classrooms while they were at school.

The capital needed to start and keep a whale watching tour boat business running can be very hard to find. Budgets work best theyre being strictly followed, but too much thriftiness can hinder the growth of the business. Here are some ways to maximize your business potential, and all without spending a dollar too much.
Risks are important in the tour boat company field, but they must always be calculated carefully and with much intelligence. If there is a chance that will cost too much money, dont do it despite how tempting it might be. If you cannot afford to lose the amount that youd be required to put forward for an opportunity, do not take part.
Branding your tour boat company is crucial in our visually-oriented society. Hire a reputable graphic designer to make an awesome logo for your whale watching tour boat business to draw people in. The going rate for a good logo is around $1000
Malik Jackson Jaguars Jersey
, but paying this large amount will be worth it if it is able to bring in more customers.
Hire Locals. This will show you care about the community by wanting to help out their general economy. It can be seen as caring for education as well, as your costs for hiring someone could be giving them the opportunity to attend college.
If something works, it probably worked for a reason. Using an idea that another tour boat company used first should not be something that you are ashamed to do. You should not blatantly copy a companys idea, but using a similar one could be a great help to your whale watching tour boat business.
Many whale watching tour boat businesses get a lot busier during the Christmas season or other promotional periods. If this happens to you, consider hiring seasonal workers. Seasonal workers will only work for you for the few months that you are really busy, which can take a bit of the load off of your permanent employees.
Theres so many techniques to increase your whale watching tour boat business
Branden Albert Jaguars Jersey
, try this one. Advertise yourself with your tour boat company products out in public. Go to supermarkets, restaurants, gas stations, etc. Try and have a message pointed out, and see how many customers you rake in.
Having an internal control of your whale watching tour boat business will always be positive factor in the reputation of a business. With a strong internal control, the procedures of a business will be exactly how you want them to be
Mychal Rivera Jaguars Jersey
, and things wont change without you wanting them to change.
No matter how bad your day might be, you cannot show your sadness to your customers. Your customers have their own problems, and when they visit a whale watching tour boat business, they want to be greeted kindly. Make sure that you and all of your employees are skilled at keeping on a happy, enthusiastic face.
Curious about the topic of whale watching? Be certain to go to Yahoo and search for whale watching long beach. Youll be able to find quite a bit of information.
Texas Free Criminal Records Free List Online Texas Free Criminal Records Free List Online March 12, 2014 | Author: Ben Kingsley | Posted in Business
The criminal records Texas archives are categorized into several types of documents that the local residents can use. One of these documents is the arrest records of the state. Arrest records are considered as an open document which means that the local residents can request
Audie Cole Jaguars Jersey
, access or obtain it easily.
One of the reasons why arrest records in Texas are being requested is to use it in conducting a background check. Employers or business owners would run a background check on their people and applicants to make sure that the people they have does not have any criminal history. Studies have figured out that most of the crimes that are occurring these days are done by people who had been reported of certain crimes. It helps the company grow and avoid any unwanted problems which can happen in the workplace.
Ordinary residents of the state also request for a copy of the arrest record of the person they interact with on a daily basis. This includes their neighbors, caretakers, nannies, tutors, friends and even relatives. Doing this helps them feel secured and safe in their surroundings. Local authorities and investigators also use such document in their investigations. There are times where this document is used as evidence to support a case and can sometimes be the answer that helps close the case.
One can find a lot of information on an arrest record in Texas. The document contains the basic information of the one who has been reported such as the complete name of the individual as well as other names that were used by the person. One would know where the person resides as well as the details of hisher birth. A detailed description of the persons physical appearance is documented. One would also know if there are tattoos, scars or birth marks on the persons body. The document would also show if there were charges filed against the reported individual or not. Not all of the arrest records of the state are open to the public. This is because records of juvenile individuals as well as cases which are still under investigation are closed from public access.
The state of Texas allows individuals to obtain a copy of their personal arrest files. Accessing the records of other people would need a special permission and letter of authorization. The Department of Public Health Services in Texas is where one can request for a copy of an arrest record. It cost $15 in order to gain access to a certain file. One has to provide the basic details about the record that is being reques.

January Jones has always been pretty questionable. Like, she's good on Mad Men, I guess, and she's very good at HAVING A NICE FACE. But she was awful on Saturday Night Live and even worse in X-Men: First Class, so she might not actually be that good at acting. And then you just hear stories about her that make you think, you know? First of all, she used to date Ashton Kutcher, so, gross. Then there was the time when she crashed a car into a house and called Bobby Flay. And the story about Zach Galifianakis telling her to "be fucking nice." It's also just weird when people are pregnant with secret babies by mystery fathers who are reportedly married. But all of those things while certainly hurting her case for not being the worst are nothing like this new smoking gun of awfulness. TV Guide today posted a quote from Jared Gilmore, the little boy who played Bobby Draper on Mad Men, offering some advice to whomever takes on that role in the next season (via Vulture). Your honor, if I may approach the bench:
"Be careful around January [Jones]. She's not as approachable as the others. She's really serious about what she does. Everyone else is so nice."
UHHHHHHH. Houston, we have an asshole! Let me put it this way: when you are being badmouthed by CHILDREN in the press you are a HORRIBLE PERSON. The end. I rest my case. Case closed. Sustained. Overruled. Bailiff. That is nuts! And you just KNOW that the thing about her being "really serious about what she does" is what she said to him in some disingenuous, limp-wristed apology after she made him cry on set for the 100th time. What a fucking goblin! She probably didn't even save anyone's life on 9/11. You guys, I hate jerks so much, don't you!?!
