Discover the magic of the most important performing arts festival in Romania through a non-formal education program which brings together every year a community of over 500 volunteers coming from both Romania and abroad! The volunteers play a key part in the cultural sector, offering both vitality and innovative ideas. The biggest and most important platform promoting non-formal education through performing arts was built in Sibiu, due to to the International Theatre Festival and some other important events. This program was inaugurated within the Program Sibiu 2007 – European Capital of Culture.
The Sibiu International Theatre Festival volunteer program is designed to offer training and a variety of advantages specific to volunteering actions, among which: training opportunities, gaining experience so as to enable the finding of a better job, learning new things and acquiring useful skills, getting acquainted with different operational systems and organizational structures, being a member of a prestigious organization, and especially obtaining a nominal volunteer certificate which can influence the score at job competitions, when two or more candidates get equal scores (cf. Art. 17 in the Law for modifying and completing the Volunteering Law No. 195/2001). The first registration stage in this year's volunteering program will be open until March 23rd. Those interested to participate in the interviews are asked to send their EUROPASS CVs at email@example.com.
The Sibiu International Theatre Festival Volunteering Program has existed since 1994 and is one of the distinctive elements of a spectacular event which began from a personal initiative, event which was and is possible thanks to the voluntary support of people sharing ideals, who offer their time and energy to both the community and Romania, so as to outline the community space where we can feel united and where dreams can come true. In 2012, the Volunteering Program launched the Europe-Asia Education Arch platform, which is a cooperation project with Asian countries (Korea, Japan, China, in 2012) in the field of non-formal and formal education through volunteering and internships for young professionals, students and graduates in the field of performing arts, with a focus on developing organizational skills regarding cultural events. "Through non-formal education, this program offers everyone the chance to perfect their personal and professional skills, focusing especially on collaboration and mutual help between members of the Sibiu community and participants from other areas of the country or the world. This school represents the only space where the training process lasts between 3 and 4 months, the volunteers being called at interviews in advance, being carefully selected and trained, as, during the festival, they get the same level of trust and responsibility as SITF employees" stated the project coordinator, Lavinia Alexe.
The Festival Volunteering Program is carried out in partnership with Asociaţia Proiect 1200, which manages the volunteer selection and training process. More details about this project can be found on the website proiect1200.ro.
The 21st edition of the Sibiu International Theatre Festival will take place between 6 and 15 of June 2014.

Many bacteria build specialized differentiated cells in order to survive environmental insults, to disseminate in the environment, and to resist host defenses, antibiotics and disinfectants. A striking example of this type of cell differentiation by many important bacterial pathogens is the formation of endospores (e.g., Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium difficile). Our overall goal is to understand the special molecular mechanisms that guide the development of endospores in order to identify novel targets for disrupting spore development. We will exploit the model system of endospore development in Bacillus subtilis because this system is amenable to analysis and its study has led to the discovery of many mechanisms that control gene expression in most bacteria, including pathogens. In this proposal we focus on the roles of a protein complex that connects two cells during endospore development. Early after the onset of endospore formation the cell divides asymmetrically giving rise to two dissimilar sibling cells. One of these cells (the forespore) develops into the endospore, while the other (the mother cell) becomes a terminally differentiated cell that nurtures the developing endospore. Remarkably, gene expression is coordinated between the forespore and mother cell (e.g., expression of specific genes in the mother cell is required before a subsequent set of genes is expressed in the forespore). The communication between the mother cell and forespore depends upon the targeting of several groups of proteins to the interface between the mother cell and forespore. The mechanisms for subcellular localization of specific proteins are of fundamental importance in cell biology and development. The central questions to be addressed in this proposal are how are specific proteins localized to the interface between the mother cell and forespore, and what are their functions. The two key proteins in this study, SpoIIQ and SpoIIIAH, interact through two membranes to connect the forespore and the mother cell. The SpoIIQ-SpoIIIAH complex serves as the founder that marks the membrane interface between the forespore and mother cell for the recruitment of other proteins to this subcellular location, including peptidoglycan hydrolases that function during the phagocytic-like engulfment of the forespore membrane by the mother cell membrane, proteins required for signaling from the forespore to the activate mother cell gene expression, and mother-cell proteins required for gene expression in the forespore. Moreover, the SpoIIQ-SpoIIIAH complex appears to form a new type of channel or transporter that connects the mother cell and forespore cytoplasms.
The specific aims of this proposal are designed to identify which and how other proteins are recruited to this intercellular connection, and how these protein complexes function to coordinate gene expression between the two cells.
The proposed research is relevant to public health because the discovery of new mechanisms regulating gene expression and cell differentiation in bacteria will facilitate the development of novel approaches for combating bacterial infections. Thus, the proposed research is relevant to the part of NIH's mission that pertains to developing fundamental knowledge that will help improve human health.

East: Judiciary In Former Communist Bloc Lagging Behind Market Reforms
The World Bank is worried about the state of judiciary in the former Soviet bloc A new report from the World Bank finds that judicial reform remains slow and incomplete throughout the former communist region of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. A review of 27 countries in the region finds that poorly performing legal systems have created deep frustration among citizens and entrepreneurs. Even in countries with judicial independence, the study found, there is a lack of accountability and efficiency.

South and Central Asia: Afghan, Tajik Leaders See New Bridge As Crucial Link
Tajik President Emomali Rakhmonov and Afghan President Hamid Karzai have laid the foundation stone of a U.S.-funded bridge that will cross their countries' river border. But the bridge over the Pyandzh River is more than just a link between the two countries. It is part of an ambitious regional transportation plan to link the former Soviet republics of Central Asia to an Iranian port in the Persian Gulf and Pakistan's port city of Karachi.

Russia: Migrants Seek Their Fortunes In Moscow, But Often Find Only Heartache
One year ago, Manzura Kholkuzeva worked as a nurse in her native Tajikistan. But poverty and bleak career prospects pushed her to the Russian capital in search of a better life. Today, she cleans offices in central Moscow for a few hundred dollars a month. Manzura considers herself one of the lucky ones. Tens of thousands of migrants from the former Soviet Union live in appalling conditions in Moscow, exploited by corrupt police and unscrupulous employers.

World: Amnesty's Global Survey Condemns Governments For Human Rights Failures
The U.S. treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, figures heavily in the Amnesty report Amnesty International says governments are failing to provide principled leadership in the quest for a world order based on respect for human rights. In its annual global survey, released today, the watchdog group says the global war against terrorism has been more effective in eroding human rights principles than in countering violence. The report singles out the United States for particularly harsh criticism. Amnesty says Washington "thumbed its nose at the rule of law" by not properly investigating reports of prisoner abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghurayb prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and at Bagram air base in Afghanistan. The poor human rights situations in Iran, Russia, Central Asia, and the Caucasus are also highlighted. But Amnesty says there were signs of hope in 2004, too.

Welcome to Warehouse 13. A place of endless wonder and mystery. A place where history and enchantment meet and swirl together in an amazing combination of artifacts and stories.
In this weekly article, I re-watch Warehouse 13 and attempt to control my fangirl flailings. We'll be starting from the beginning, I'll be talking about the episode in pretty decent detail, so beware of spoilers.
Warehouse 13: Season 1, Episode 5 | Elements
Written by: Jack Kenny, David Simkins, & Dana Baratta.
The Warehouse team pursues an artifact collector who is trying to gather together sculptures of the four elements thinking they will enable him to find the secret to obtaining god-like powers.
While Artie stalls to figure out what to do with Claudia, we get to see a bit of their relationship. It started last episode, and with the remainder of this episode we see their father/daughter-like relationship grow and grow.
Of all the artifacts that we've seen this one definitely has the most magic-like qualities to it. Allowing one to embody the elements in definitely an artifact that could come in handy. Pete and Myka's partnership shines more and more with each episode. In this one, we see that they really do know more about each other than they would like to admit.
In addition to all this great character stuff, we get to see the amazing guest star, Joe Flanigan (of Stargate: Atlantis). When he first popped on screen, I was sure he was the culprit, it's nice to sometimes be surprised.
Artie: Shouldn't you be in college or something? Don't you want to be with people your own age?
Claudia: Artie, I'm not my own age.
Leena: She needs people like her.
Artie: Brash, rude, anti-social, impulsive?
Leena: We're discussing Claudia, not you.
Artie: See, that's kind of a low blow.
A cloak of the Lenape people that allows one to embody the elements.

A little note from another special mummy on why she had pregnancy photos taken:
You are only pregnant for 9months at a time, so I wanted to make sure I had something to capture this exciting time in my husband & my life. I was fortunate to have a 'perfect pregnancy' and loved growing my bubba, an experience I will never forget. The physical changes are amazing and to see it from a different perspective via photo is something to be treasured.

Katrina Caspelich of Kiss and Wear
Katrina Caspelich is the founder and creative director of Kiss and Wear.
Kiss and Wear is a lifestyle and accessories brand specializing in bracelets, necklaces, and small accessories. Katrina started Kiss and Wear over a year ago. She likes to describe the brand as West Coast cool meets East Coast chic.
Katrina got her Bachelor's in Business Marketing which she says helps her on a daily basis with operations. After graduating, she took on various fashion related jobs, from working at modelling agencies in New York to being a fashion editor at Page Daily, an online fashion magazine that has since folded.
The San Diego native originally started Kiss and Wear as a lifestyle blog that eventually turned into a brand. Katrina and her best friend Lindsay had the idea for a blog that incorporated both Katrina's love for fashion and Lindsay's love for beauty. Katrina says she always knew she wanted to make accessories and have a line of her own. It had been a dream of hers for years and after deciding to take the leap, she went all in with the company.
Caspelich says her goal is to eventually grow the brand to be a 360 fashion and lifestyle brand making not only accessories, but stationery, and must-have items.

Have you been meaning to get out to the farmer's market but just can't pull yourself out of your a/c induced stupor? Well here's a great reason to brave the 105 degree heat index this weekend.
The Homespun Chic Marketplace is having its first annual sale this Sunday at the Winter Park Farmer's Market from 2:30pm – 6pm. Help support your local artists and artisans as well as the Make A Wish Foundation of Central and Northern Florida (a percentage of all proceeds will be donated there).
Get your holiday shopping started early this year! I only wish I made something great so that I could be a part of the show. There's always next year? I don't know about you, but there are all these great things I want to do but I'm having trouble with finding the time and energy. I grew up with a crazy crafting mom – she has genuine talent and unfortunately that didn't pass on to me. My sister does well in all her endeavors so she seems to have inherited a bit of the magic. It seems if I can't do it well the first time around I just don't want to do it anymore.
It's been a busy/strange few weeks. The mother of one our good friends passed away late last week after a seemingly short battle with breast cancer. She was so bright and had this beaming smile that lit up not only her whole face but really the whole room. She will be missed dearly. My best friend got married in a spur-of-the-moment wedding recently and I'll be traveling out-of-state (all by myself!) to celebrate with her and her new family. My sister is getting married and is handling her wedding plans with such ease and poise I'm afraid the body snatchers came sometime in the night. Abi has finished her first round of swimming lessons. And although she cried through every single class, when you'd ask her if she'd like to try the new skill again she would say with teary voice – 'yes'. Now she is teaching all her bath toys how to swim and has started to float on her back in our little kiddie pool in the backyard.

Speech Therapy Themes… with a Freebie!Friday, September 11, 2015
5 comments
I agree. Exploiting a theme works for me! Definitely keeps the anxiety at bay (I, too suffer from anxiety). I have to run at least 4-5 times a week to keep from popping ;pReplyDelete
Incorporating teacher's themes into your therapy is such an incredibly thoughtful thing to do! I'll bet it really helps concepts stick with the kids and helps them better understand things they may be having difficulty with. Thanks for the calendar, I am always looking for good ideas on TPT, it's such a helpful site that's full of positivity and warmth.ReplyDelete

3 Ways to Create a Productive Meeting
Based on Business Insider, USA had lost more than 37 billions USD every year because of ineffective meeting they held. Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple has some effective ways to solve this problem. Check this out!
1. Minimize the Amount of Attendees
Kevin Seagall, a collaborator who ever worked with Steve Jobs, told that one day Steve Jobs asked politely to someone to leave the room. Steve Jobs did that because he thought that filling a meeting room with too much people is not effective. Same with when he refused the invitation from the US President, Barrack Obama, to attend a meeting in Tech Mogul.
2. Make Sure Each Person Has Responsibility
Steve Jobs has an accountability mindset, which means all the people in the project have to know their own responsibilities. Even on every meeting note, there was a DRI column (Directly Responsible Individual) or people who are in charge of certain things.
3. Do Not Depend on Slideshow
Steve Jobs does not really like a formal meeting, he prefers to do a face-to-face meeting. By his opinion, without a slideshow, a meeting will be more alive and it will make people think more critically. Steve Jobs thinks that people who know what they want to tell will not need a PowerPoint.

Part Dave Matthews Band, part Jimmy Buffett and part the Eagles, the Zac Brown Band might just be the ideal act to headline a baseball field on a hot August Friday night.
While 40-year-old Zac Brown may not be the most compelling frontman, he has assembled an impressive, nimble and up-for-anything group of musicians to back him. They excel at everything from laid-back beach anthems to grinding Southern rock as they proved Friday at Minneapolis' Target Field.
It was ZBB's third time playing the Twins ball field, after opening for Kenny Chesney in 2013 and returning as headliners three years later. Last time around, an expanded ZBB featured a horn section and backup vocals, but Friday it was just the core group.
That said, the ZBB's "core group" has a total of eight musicians, which includes two drummers and five multi-instrumentalists who largely bounce between any number of six-stringed instruments. They breezed effortless through ZBB's many radio hits — "Homegrown," "Toes," "Chicken Fried," "Free," "As She's Walking Away" — but truly kicked out the jams when it came to the numerous cover versions in the two-hour show.
Yup, the Zac Brown Band could fill an entire evening just with their own singles, but the detours into other artists' material is a big part of what makes them such an ideal summertime entertainment. The group's own songs are easy-to-grasp populist anthems that sound familiar the first time you hear them. And they not only hold up, they thrive when played alongside true classics.
A fiery tear through Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir," with Clay Cook on vocals, arrived early in the evening and transitioned into a thundering "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," the Charlie Daniels Band hit ZBB has been doing for years. Both numbers gave Jimmy De Martini to shine on the fiddle, while the latter showcased some impressively speedy acoustic guitar work from Brown.
Later, they sounded better doing "Use Somebody" than Kings of Leon do these days and turned the Allman Brothers Band's "Whipping Post" into an extended, swampy jam with multiple solos. But the harmonies in Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" proved to be a bit too much for the guys, with Brown apologizing to the crowd afterward for his own vocal problems. (Which were really nothing compared to, say, Def Leppard's Joe Elliott who stood on the same stage a few weeks ago.)
Brown has also improved at choosing opening acts. In 2016, the largely unknown Drake White and the Big Fire warmed the stage. Friday's first opener, Caroline Jones, is a newcomer as well but got the invite back on stage to join Brown for "Day That I Die."
OneRepublic — a band big enough to headline arenas on their own — followed Jones with a fan-friendly set that included their hits "Love Runs Out," "Counting Stars" and "Apologize" as well as a truly cringeworthy trot through Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" that proves covers aren't nearly as easy as the Zac Brown Band makes it look.

Now she has been promoted as full fledged Foreign Minister. The post was remaining vacant for the last 6 months since Shah Mahamood qureshi was removed and it has now been filled in the context of ensuing talks with India next month. She will come to India next month for the talks. The decision to promote her was taken 'considering her ability, efficiency and her interaction with the foreign Ministry' the P.Ms office said. She is the first woman foreign Minister in Pakistan and the youngest too
Hina Rabbani was born on the 19th January 1977 in Multan of Punjab Province and is the daughter of Malik Ghulam Noor Rabbani a politician and a landlord holding sprawling landed property with sugarcane, Mango orchards and fishing lakes. The Kher family being very prominent in Punjab Province they get access to power politics automatically. The big landlords have always a place in the Pakistan politics
Hina Rabbani graduated from the Lahore University and took Msc from the Massachusetts University in Hotel management in the year 2001.The family is a co-owner of a Restaurant at the Lahore Polo Grounds serving classy European and western food. The reason for choosing Hotel management for the Post graduate course might have stemmed out of her Restaurant ownership.
.The post of Foreign Minister is considered a masculine one as it entails interacting with various foreign dignitaries and frequent travels abroad. Yet Nirupama Rao as foreign secretary in India, Condolizza Rice as state secretary in U.S and Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan themselves have had made their mark in the fieldof diplomacy. Hina Rebbani is younger and inexperienced in the world stage and her appointment despite her short comings shows the confidence bestowed upon her by the Pakistan Government. It is also a progressive step by the Government in empowering women and bringing them out into public life.
Hina Rabbani has some records to her credit. She is the first woman to have presented a budget when in the finance ministry and she is one of the few women to have been elected in a general seat when her father became ineligible for election as he is not a Graduate. She was elected from the Muzaffargarh constituency. Hina started her Political career joining Pervez Musharaff's party and later switched to ruling Pakistan Peoples Party.
Hina Rabbani, a refreshingly young and beautiful lady, is a surprise candidate in the murky grounds of politics.However, let the looks not deceive you, she is very shrewd and intelligent and can very well survive in the male dominated field of Politics and administration.
She is married to Feroz Gulzar, a well known business man, and they have two daughters, Annaya and Dina. Hina, a rising star in the Pakistan Politics, is an extrovert by nature and you will see her rarely in T.V.shows. She likes trekking and has traveled extensively in Pakistan.
A Minister, in a democratic set up, cannot be expected to make a paradigm shift in the nation's Foreign policy as various factors have to be considered in the making of a policy Yet if she could work her way up without attracting controversies she can consider herself successful.
LATEST : Mr.Firoze Gulzar, husband of Hina Rabbani Khar has made clear that the outrageous News going round about a Love affair between Ms.Hina Rabbani and son of Pakistan President Mr. Bilwal Bhutto was a false propaganda to disgrace them. When the Press men contacted with Ms. Hina Rabbani who is in New York to attend U.N. conference, she also ridiculed the matter saying that such dirty News deserved no reply.
The News had originated from a Bangladesh Tabloid Newspaper which has not been confirmed by any responsible News agency.

Plastic surgeons have plenty to be concerned about without even thinking about where their next spate of customers are going to come from. But there is a growing movement towards SEO marketing in the world of cosmetic surgeries. If you don't even know what SEO is or you have not yet taken the dive, here are five reasons why SEO marketing will be the future of the plastic surgeons marketing world.
Behind: Search Engine Optimization has been around for a long time on the Internet. Many clients who jumped out in front of this movement saw huge gains for their brand and huge dollars in their pockets. But SEO is not dead; not by a long shot; especially in the world of cosmetic surgery. Can you believe that many plastic surgeons still don't even have a webpage? Or if they do it is bare bones and very basic with just their contact information on them? If your search results are loaded with all manner of positive adverts about your business and your stellar record, customers will take notice.
Choices: Customers for plastic surgery are by-and-large optional and this type of cosmetic surgery leaves the customer a lot more time to weigh their options. Who do you think is going to leap out ahead in this race? A surgeon who has no web presence or one who has a carefully calculated search engine crawl with tons of relevant articles, images, testimonials, and success stories?
Cost: The costs of SEO are actually another thing that is really appealing to customers across the board. More and more people are doing their shopping, product research, and price matching online. So when there are stories and other relevant information coming across your customers search engine, where do you think they're going to go? If you lay out the cost of admittance with the rewards reaped, you'd be foolish not to exploit it.
Tortoise: The tide is slowly shifting and that means that this type of search engine marketing will continue to peel off future customers. Some have attributed the lack of motivation towards this style of marketing with the slow-to-change attitudes of the heavily regulated healthcare industry in general. But just like the tortoise won the race, so too will even the slower of the SEO endorsers in the world of plastic surgeons.
Global: One more thing about this type of marketing is that it's already gone global. You can open up a computer anywhere in the world and get the same search results that come across your page in your den. That means for residents, those traveling through your area, or those just looking for an escape, your SEO results will be front and center in your potential customers search queries.
Online search is a tough nut to crack. If you have the right tools the treasures of the safe are yours for the taking. Make sure that you take all these factors into consideration and then get your name on the search crawl!

On January 31, 2018, a large blue-pulse UFO is appeared in night sky over Trang, Thailand.
Witness report:
"In Trang, Thailand whilst photographing the Blood Moon 8:15pm January 31 2018, there was UFO activity for approx 1hr30mins to 2hrs SE of the moon about 25deg elevation. I estimate the location of the objects to be off the coast, direction of Satun. There were 3 other witnesses to this event.
To the naked eye, only the larger craft Blue pulses were visible. The object moved around an area perhaps 10x10 the size of the moon, changing direction abruptly and at speed, traceable by the blue pulses.
The object was still visible after nearly 2 hrs, coinciding with the Blood moon event.
The original video footage taken on a Sony HX400V camera clearly shows 2 craft in sync'd maneuvers with the smaller Orb craft returning a white flash to the blue pulse emitted from the larger craft. The uploaded Youtube footage has lost some of the highlights with a reduced number of Pulses/flashes visible.
The video title is "Blood Moon 2018 UFO footage, Mothership and White Orb craft Comms in sync.""Source

History of Legal Rights of Persons with Disabilities in India
1912 : Indian Lunacy Act
This Act, in an attempt to cover both, Mental retardation as well as Mental Illness – made no distinction between the two.
1987: The Mental Health Act
This Act replaced The Lunacy Act and attempted to make the distinction between mental retardation and mental illness. But in doing so, the Act excluded people with Mental retardation altogether.
The provisions of this Act however were made from the perspective of people with mental illness. The Act covered issues of treatment, institutional care, guardianship that were purely from the perspective of people with mental illness.
1993- 2002 : Asian Pacific Decade of Disabled Persons:
This emphasised the need for a law that would cater specifically to the needs of persons with disabilities. This forum set the foundation for India's first comprehensive law addressing the needs of persons with disabilities- The Persons with Disabilities Act.
1995 : The Persons with Disabilities [ Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation ] Act, 1995
The Persons with Disabilities Act was the first attempt to have a comprehensive law meant specifically for the persons with disabilities in India. It covers persons with Blindness, Low Vision, Hearing Impairment, Locomotor Disability [includes Cerebral Palsy], Mental Illness, Mental Retardation and Leprosy Cured.
The Act extends Rights to people with disabilities. It enables them to have equal opportunities and Participate as productive and contributing citizens of the country to the fullest extent of their ability.
Though the Act covered quite an extensive range of areas like Prevention, Education, Employment, Access…gaps were felt as time went by. Amendments to the Act were demanded soon after the Act came into being. There was an urgent need to extend the definition of disability to include other disabilities such as Autism. The way that the Act looks at disability and the needs of the people it is addressing require modification in order to bring it in sync with the UN CRPD [ UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities]. The New Disabilities Act is pending approval by Parliament and as soon as it is passed, it will replace the Act of 1995.
1999: The National Trust for the Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disability Act, 1999.
This Act came into being to address the specific needs of persons with the above mentioned disabilities. The need for this Act arose primarily as it was felt that The Persons with Disabilities Act did not cover all disabilities. It did not adequately address the concerns of persons with high support needs and those with developmental disabilities. Moreover it did not include persons with Autism. Issues of protection, like Guardianship that directly affect persons with intellectual disability and those with severe or multiple disability are covered under this Act.
2006: UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
The UN CRPD is a very important document in the context of disability rights. The first Convention of its kind that covers within its fold all disabilities, without giving a conventional definition of disability, it covers a wide range of issues.
The fact that the UNCRPD incorporates the voices of persons with all disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, from all across the world makes it truly representative of the needs, concerns and rights of persons.
Covering issues of education; employment; access; health – to the more complex ones of- right to a family; freedom from torture and abuse; legal capacity…many issues and concerns have been brought forth that till now were not openly discussed.
The UN CRPD has been ratified by India and all our disability laws are being brought in sync with it to ensure that the rights laid down by it are fully extended to persons with disabilities.

Adam Lallana was sent off while playing for Liverpool's under-23s on Monday, but he will not be in line for a first-team suspension, a Premier League source told ESPN FC.
Lallana and Tottenham captain George Marsh, 19, collided while contesting for a ball in the air, and the Liverpool man took exception to the challenge.
The 29-year-old got to his feet and jumped his opponent from behind, putting his right hand around Marsh's neck while pushing the teenager's head down with his left.
He was led away by teammate Danny Ings after being shown a straight red card by the referee and headed down the tunnel in the 63rd minute of Liverpool's 1-0 defeat at the home of Stevenage FC.
Lallana vs spurs u23's pic.twitter.com/hl1w6Ril5u
— Wisdoms of Liverpool (@LFCwisdoms) February 5, 2018
FA rules specify that a suspension should be served in other under-23 games. After Jack Wilshere was sent off for shoving a Manchester City opponent in a reserves game in August, he was still eligible to play for Arsenal's first team, though he wasn't selected.
Lallana was playing with the reserve side as he continues his recovery from a groin injury that has caused him to miss Liverpool's past three matches.
He missed the opening months of the 2017-18 campaign with a thigh issue sustained in the preseason and has recently just recovered from a muscular injury.
On Monday, Lallana started for the under-23s in the Premier League 2 fixture along with Danny Ings, Dominic Solanke and Ben Woodburn.

North Brevard Funeral Home is conveniently located only 12minutes away from Florida's newest National Cemetery. Our funeral directors ourexperts in Veterans Benefits and will assist the family with every detail.
Our comfortable and well-appointed funeral home is theperfect place for a religious service and celebration of life and since we arelocated so close we can seamlessly arrange a procession to Cape CanaveralNational Cemetery for the burial of the casket or urn immediately following theservices.
The VA provides for all eligible veterans a ground space orcolumbarium niche for the veteran and his or her spouse if applicable, amonument, the opening and closing of the grave or niche, a standard graveliner, and perpetual care.
Military honors can be provided by the active duty funeraldetails of the veteran's branch of service or by the local VFW and AmericanLegion Honor Guards.
Those who serve in the Military do a great honor to our country—and as such, they deserve to be honored themselves. One way to honor our veterans is to pay proper respects to them as they pass away, something that may look different from one family to the next. We are available to work with military families to develop memorial services that truly celebrate the life and service of deceased veterans—whether that means a full military service or an intimate family gathering.
Military services are not just significant ways to honor our nation's heroes—there are other benefits, as well:
One common way to honor deceased veterans is with the Funeral Honors Ceremony, in which the flag is folded and presented to surviving family members while Taps is played. At least two Funeral Honors detail members—that is, Armed Forces members—are present for this. Different levels of Funeral Honors exist depending on the rank of the veteran. Our staff is available to help arrange these details on your loved one's behalf.

Clift, Thomas Valentine
He was born at Esher, the son of John and Elizabeth Jane Clift. He joined Quirister School in 1901.
He enlisted in the 1/15th London Regiment, and fell in action while serving with them at Verbranden Molen on November 16th 1916.
A fellow Quirister, Henry Longbottom, wrote this memoir about him: "One of the subjects taught was piano playing, though this was on a voluntary basis and had to be paid for privately. Mr. Williams undertook the training of the beginners. One of his pupils in my time was Tom Valentine Clift. He was not much good at reading music but had an aptitude for playing quite complicated music by ear. He liked loud music with strong chords. When possible, whether authorised or not, if he managed to get to an organ stool, he was in his element. It was the custom of organ tuners who came to Chapel, School and Music School to get two Quiristers to assist. One of them was always a boy who could play the piano, to press the keys as ordered by the tuner working at the back of the organ, and the other boy was required for blowing, for in those days organs were all blown by hand. On one occasion Clift had been selected to assist the tuner when tuning the School organ. The organ was on the platform and the bellows chamber – a cupboard, almost – beneath the stage was reached by a small doorway in the east wall of the building (this has now been bricked up but the site can still be seen). We had been working for most of the morning but were needed again in the afternoon. We hurried over lunch and got to the building before the tuner had arrived. Clift jumped on to the organ stool and began, with my help as blower, his repertoire of hearty organ pieces. A crowd of visitors had arrived at the College and was waiting to be shown the old School. On seeing the open door they went inside and, sitting down, prepared to listen to the music! This somewhat disconcerted Clift, who stopped playing, and one of the group came round to the "blow hole" to ask me in a most refined manner if there was an organ recital going on. When I explained the position, the crowd dissolved. I never saw Tom Clift after he left school, but many years later I was in the offices of the Ocean Accident Insurance Co., in Pall Mall, London, and observed on a war memorial there the name 'Tom Valentine Clift, killed in action.'

A wise woman once said, "Strike a pose, there's nothing to it."
First of all, relax. And I mean relax; your mouth, your neck, your chin. Do not however, relax your hands or your shoulders (this leads to slouching and fidget fingers, lol).
Here are some examples of the dos and don'ts of hand posing courtesy of Marlen James.
And remember dolls: CONFIDENCE IS THE KEY!
Well, we love you Madonna but...
What's a hard angle? What are soft hands? Why am I breathing through my mouth? Speaking of hands; what the heck am I supposed to do with them?
Never fear because Clique Boudoir is here!
Let's first understand one another. Are you looking for a fun and flirtatious session or are you looking for a seriously sexy bombshell session? How comfortable are you with showing a little skin? Remember we strive to keep our boudoir classy rather than trashy, but a little skin goes a long way!
Second, we want you to feel comfortable with our photographer guiding you into poses that may be a little uncomfortable to achieve. If at any time you are uncomfortable, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Now let's get started.
So, let's concentrate on those hands. Have you ever seen pictures of women who look like they were born to pose? Well, trust me, they were not. They were in fact coached—they had awkward fidget fingers and rigor mortis necks until someone stepped in to show them how.
Yes, we want you to "touch" yourself. We are trying to capture a perfect image, to bring out that goddess, that beautiful and playful seductress. So we are paying close attention to every detail. Sharp angles such as elbows and knees, pointed toes, an elegant chin angle (no one likes a double chin) and of course soft hands. While you are feeling like a prop we see you as an inspiration.
Your hands can be used as magnificent props if used properly. If used incorrectly they can turn your photos into an epic fail.
Let's explore some yes and no facial expressions for perfect posing. See the photos below.
Work your #selfie face!
We all know that chin out and down/tilt to the side/look up at the camera perfect angle. It's in all of your Instagram photos because it shows you at your best, right—bright eyed and jowl-free? We love that angle!
We will use several props to help bring your poses to life, such as chairs, window sills, floors, beds, pillows, jewelry and hats. Or guitars...
Of course, our photographer will be there to coach and guide you into gorgeous poses from relaxed head to pointed toes.
And remember dolls: CONFIDENCE IS THE KEY!
So go ahead ladies—get your vogue on.

Did You Have Insurance With British American in Panama? You Are Now Apparently Screwed
Thursday, June 10 2010 @ 08:51 am EDT
Contributed by: Don Winner

Going Cheap on Insurance Coverage: It makes perfect sense for people to seek out lower prices when shopping for insurance coverage. And in all fairness, 10,000 people were caught flat footed by the collapse of British American because nobody saw it coming. One day they were a good and economical option, and the next they are gone - poof - just like that. However the phrase "you get what you pay for" is very true when it comes to something as important as insurance coverage. For example I heard from several people who are (were) perfectly happy with the "plan" offered by the Santa Fe hospital. I say "plan" because, to be perfectly clear, what they offer is not health insurance and they are not regulated by the Panamanian Superintendent of Insurance. And what happened to some people is that they learned later - when they really needed it - they were arbitrarily "dropped" from the "plan" because what they needed was too expensive or not covered. And since this "plan" is not controlled or regulated as insurance, that means they can basically do practically whatever they want. The end result is that you might save some money in the short haul, only to find yourself getting screwed in the long haul.
Ten Years Later: I heard from someone who has had coverage with British American for ten years. Up until yesterday they were happy customers without a care in the world. Now, they will have to go out and find some other kind of health insurance coverage, from another company or provider. Hopefully they have not developed any kind of health problem or "pre existing condition" over the last ten years that will now make it harder or more expensive for them to obtain health coverage. Ten years is a long time and a lot of things can happen as we age. I don't know exactly why British American went belly up in Panama but it might have been in some way related to the low rates they reportedly charged. At what point does the cart "tip over" - where they have more money going out and liabilities than they have coming in. I also understand there's an issue with $10 million dollars in bonds that were transferred from Panama to Trinidad - Tobago, that's at the root of the problems the government of Panama has with British American. That sounds to me like the people behind this company are taking the last of the money with them as they split, abandoning their 10,000 former customers here. Again, to be perfectly clear and absolutely honest, I still don't have all of the facts and details, and I'm sure they will be emerging over time. But right now, that's how I understand the situation. So, you pay into an insurance plan for ten years and now, they take the money, run away, and flip you the bird over their shoulder on the way out. That's what you get when you go "cheap" on insurance coverage, in Panama or anywhere else.
Be A Miracle Worker: Many of you already know that Kevin Bradley is both an insurance salesman and one of my best friends here in Panama. Practically everything I know about the insurance industry I learned from him. Kevin has to be very careful about what he says because as a broker he is in the position of "middle man" with the customers on one hand, and the insurance companies on the other. However, he tells me stories of people who come to Panama with a whole string of pre-existing medical conditions, like a 65 year old man with a history of heart attacks, diabetes, who has been smoking for more than 40 years. The simple answer is - in most cases that person is simply "not insurable" practically at any price. The insurance companies want to see doctor's reports, and they will exclude all or most of the preexisting conditions for a number of years. Of course, the customer wants Kevin to come up with a mystical and magical comprehensive health insurance package that covers everything, instantly, for free or very cheap. It's simply not out there. So either "you get what you pay for" or "they won't sell you coverage, practically at any price."
Stable, Respected, Rock Solid: I suspect that now after the collapse of British American things like "stability" and "reliability" will factor more into people's decisions on what health insurance they will buy - much more than they did in the past. The basic premise behind insurance coverage is that you pay into the group pool when you are healthy and you don't need it, so that later when you really do need it your medical bills are paid for by those who are healthy. It does you absolutely no good whatsoever to pay into a plan for many years, only to have that plan evaporate from under your feet as you get closer to the time when you might really need it. There are any number of insurance options and companies available in Panama - practically everyone has some kind of insurance coverage. And of course I would recommend that you contact my good friend Kevin Bradley because he can steer you towards the kind of coverage that best fits your situation. Shameless promotion for a good friend? You betcha. I've seen him respond to traffic accidents in the middle of a heavy downpour, go to the hospital to check in on a client who's about to have an operation, and basically "be there" for his clients and customers. He has developed a stellar reputation over 40 years in the business- and you'll never catch me ever saying a bad word about him. There are few people in this country that have earned my respect and unquestioning allegiance - as a result of their actions when it matters most - and as a matter of fact I can count them on one hand. Kevin is at the top of that list. So if you need insurance for any reason I have a very short list of answers and it always sounds like "call Kevin Bradley."
I'm Sorry You Got Screwed: If you find yourself without health insurance coverage this morning thanks to the British American meltdown, well then I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope you can find an effective solution to your insurance problem. My advice - take care of it sooner rather than later. Also, call Kevin. I don't know how many of those 10,000 people who lost their coverage with British American are members of the English speaking expatriate community, but I know there are some.

Video Testimonials and Why They are Effective!
Video Testimonials and Why They are Effective!
The world is skipping text and reading. Videos are everywhere. The attention spans are lower. So why would you have someone read testimonials written on website when they don't even read other important parts of life? Also, the written testimonials may appear as fake, even though they may be true. Enter Video Testimonials – the need of the hour.
Video testimonials are videos where people share their opinions and positive reviews about a product, company, or person while being recorded with their face and voice in it. Video testimonials have been used like advertising campaigns by companies for decades, but the technology has made it possible for everyone to be able to create these video testimonials quite easily.
Why Video Testimonials Work?
Videos deliver more in less time
While it takes time to go through the text, video content can be delivered at a much faster pace. An average of 100-200 words can be delivered per minute of a video. A few seconds of video is enough to provide the keywords, and in much logical and natural manner, instead of being stuffed inside words. The language of testimonials also tends to be simpler, with usage of heavy words being less. This also helps in simplifying the content and helps it reach further.
Emotional Connect – An Eye to Eye Interaction
The emotional connect a video testimonial can make is simply impossible to achieve via any other medium. It is almost like a personal interaction someone is having with you, as if a friend or a relative is endorsing a product or service. This personal connection and the way the story is shared, with a personal touch, it is where the magic of video testimonials lies. It also creates a trust, which is the foundation stone for any business or brand.
Social Media Loves Videos
Yes, you are right. YouTube happens to be the 2ndbiggest search engine after Google. Facebook has opened up to the possibilities of videos. Instagram and Snapchat are taking videos more seriously. Even instant messaging platforms allow an easier spread of videos now, as compared to earlier times. This is possible simply because social media has woken up to the fact that videos deliver information faster and more accurately.
Gone are the times of long forward messages, now it is just videos. So if a brand or business intends to use it to their advantage, video testimonials, especially when made well and with a personal touch, can help the brand reach further.
Word of Mouth Sells
Word of mouth has been the oldest and most effective way of marketing. Who do we ask for recommendations when we need something first – family, friends and relatives, right? This chain spreads the word about the brand or the product, or even in case of movies or plays. This helps in gaining natural support and fan-base.
Video testimonials offer exactly the same; they are spread by word of mouth and can be delivered easily. When you have customers who are willing to record their experiences of working with you, you can use them to the advantage of spreading your brand. Not only will be impact the brand image, make it more personal, but also the customer will feel part of the brand than just being a customer.
The Costs are down and Equipment Quality is up
It is one of the greatest times to invest in the video testimonials because it is easier to make videos now, and the cost-effectiveness is amazing. For those who are short of budget, even a good quality phone can now make crisp videos with clear sound. The quality of equipment is so much better these days that you don't even need all the expensive and huge equipment to record a video testimonial. Also, it feels much more natural and at-ease when recording in phone instead of a bulky camera gear.
Of course, there's no substitute for quality, and if you can, you must use highest quality equipment possible. The videos can be seen in different places, and a higher quality video will automatically translate better on larger screens as well as smaller screens. However, that should be done only if it is possible. If it isn't, there are enough alternatives to deliver your message cost-effectively.
Search Engine Optimization – The Requirement of Data
As mentioned earlier, YouTube is the 2ndlargest search engine in the world after Google. Google itself shows video results on first page itself. This, clubbed with the fact that Search Engine Optimization now takes videos into account too – should make you rush to create videos for your brand. However, it isn't easy to make high quality video content for all brands and businesses. It usually requires professionals who come and work on various projects, and especially for small companies, creating video content for social media isn't easy.
To fill this void, while also working on video content of different styles, like advertisements etc, it is good to fill up the video space with testimonials. So each time someone agrees to record their story, you can just put it up online on YouTube and Facebook and enjoy the improved search rankings. Even Facebook is taking videos seriously, and Facebook search results may help too.
Video testimonials are considered to be the most effective video content on the web, especially when it comes to a brand. Not only does it help in promoting the brand, but it also creates an inter-personal approach of the brand. People can connect to the brand more; the customers in the videos can feel ownership of the brand and would always refer to the brand in the good way. It also improves SEO, and social media is opening up to the video testimonials. It is reason enough to take videos more seriously, and video testimonials are the way to do it.

Chatbot Data from a Product Lens
As chatbots continue to be a new and pioneering space, Instabot is constantly researching, testing, and understanding the many nuances of how bots capture and interpret data.
I had the chance to sit down with Instabot's Chief Product Officer, Aaron Weymouth, to talk about how much the perception of chatbot data has evolved, and gain some insights on how to successfully execute chatbots as well as interpret user data.
How does Instabot currently collect and think about analytics collected by bots?
Traditionally, the most important metric in most sales SaaS (Software as a Service) platforms is conversions. We agree on the value of a conversion, but it really starts with engagement. Whenever a user comes to a client's site, we consider the initial action which launches the Instabot as an incredibly valuable engagement. From that engagement, it's an exciting challenge to see how we can optimize the engagement further. We are measuring that success rate based on the interactions the user is taking to reach a final goal.
We track each user response, the abandonment of a bot conversation, the number of times a user is clicking through a bot, and more. The idea is to tell a story on what each engagement is like so that the client using Instabot to collect information isn't left guessing what the end user was doing; there should be no ambiguity.
How has the way Instabot approaches and displays analytics changed since its first launch?
We've learned a lot on how to structure and format our product since we first started building chatbots. Our initial thought process was that bots were very linear and that the structures were based on "question, binary response, question, binary response" and so on, similar to an online form. With this in mind, our initial mindset was similar to a traditional survey metric, and we would consider: "Did the user "complete" the questions in the bot?"
We quickly realized that chatbot conversations, like any normal conversation, can take any number of twists and turns, and tend to branch out pretty quickly. So we began to consider things in a non-linear manner, using a branch method. With that in mind, it was clear that our initial metric of tallying how many users "completed" conversations didn't mean much. People cared about how many users interacted with their bot, and whether or not those users engaged with the bot long enough to provide useful information.
Did the user give their email? Did they sign up for a service? Did they ask a certain question? That may happen in the first 3-4 prompts and a user may not have to go through to complete an entire conversation. Additionally, just because someone didn't complete every branch of the conversation or reply to each prompt doesn't mean the conversation wasn't a success.
I think the biggest change we've made involves shifting focus from closed conversations to engagements. We pay attention to how you really "converse" with a user and how successfully bots learn information about users during a conversation.
Were there specific challenges throughout the process of understanding and implementing bot analytics? If so, how did you and your team address those challenges?
Yes, when our perspective shifted from getting someone to complete a conversation to getting someone to better engage, we had to think about a few things.
Visually, from a user experience perspective, we had to ask ourselves what made a chat compelling?
Why would users engage with an Instabot over a pop-up form or something that simply asks for your email? So we were, and are, continually looking for ways to entice a user to talk to a bot and make them feel more comfortable doing it. The goal was to make Instabot conversational and playful without becoming lippy from Microsoft Word.
2. Second, we started really focusing on conversation content and structure.
When and how you ask questions make big differences with a chatbot. You can have the most visually beautiful chat experience in the world, but if the content feels static or without direction; people will drop off very quickly. As we've evolved through those metrics and looked more towards engagement, we began to see the patterns in which types of prompts we can ask to spur conversation and encourage users to answer more questions. When prompting a user with a chatbot, saying "Hi I'm a bot, give me your information" doesn't cut it. We've tested this and saw an immediate drop off in user engagement. When bots converse in a more personal (and personalized) way, that's when we see a higher engagement and a level of trust is built up, allows a chatbot to receive more information from a user.
The questions we tackle every day are:
- How do we continue to evolve the way Instabot can execute thoughtful conversations?;
- How do we continue to improve upon the fun, engaging, and natural experience?;
- How do we evolve bots as users get smarter at understanding chatbots?, and finally,
- How do we deliver these smarter, sleeker, chatbots in a product that the average marketer or product manager has no problem learning and deploying in a short amount of time?
What do you think are important pieces of data that chatbot should be able to collect?
One thing we've learned is that every chatbot is different, as is every use case we come across. Early on we tried to bucket our users into templates that focused on very specific cases like lead generation, sign up, form entry, etc. But we realized that no one size fits all, and every customer's business is unique, so trying to define one single metric that everyone found important was impossible.
So we started with the one thing everyone needs: engagement.
1. Can you increase the amount of engagement that happens with a bot?
That comes down to that first prompt, that first intro, that first value add that you try to pitch which allows users to trust and know that the information and interaction adds value to him or her.
2. Then, the real metric we focus on for each customer is: what is your end goal?
Are you trying to increase demo bookings? Collect more emails for a sales campaign? Do you want more users to sign up for your blog? Do you want users to learn more about your product? With all that in mind, what we've moved towards is something we call "Bot Goals", allowing clients to define what metric they want to collect, and then to flag different areas in a conversation at which that metric (goal) happens. In doing so, we allow that conversation to be organic and allow clients to use them the way they really wanted; to not force them into a template or metric that might not work out for them. We're aiming to allow each of our client to dictate what they need and help them build the exact bot that accomplishes it.
Given the recent need to comply with GDPR, how did Instabot's product team respond?
I'm sure everyone is getting sick of the GDPR driven prompts the past few weeks where every site is re-publishing cookie policies.
What's interesting is that a lot of those restrictions and requirements came out of the need to protect consumers from large companies who didn't have their end users' best interest in mind. That could have meant companies were selling user data to third parties without consent, or just not paying attention to where data was being sent. I think these policies are fantastic to prevent malicious use of data.
That being said, at Instabot we've always had the user's best interest in mind. We didn't build the product with the intent of collecting all user data to sell it to third-party sources. We built this product to give businesses a better way to communicate with their users, and to allow users to more quickly and accurately get the information they need from the services they use.
So, from that perspective, after making sure we notified users and complied with all GDPR requirements, nothing really changed for us. We've always had user privacy and best their interest in mind and that hasn't changed. We don't re-market or resell this data.
What are the plans to improve upon the way Instabot currently collects chatbot data?
We plan to continue to measure and analyze the foundational building blocks of what makes a conversation successful. The next thing for us is really about not just getting someone in the door and talking, but measuring both their level of engagement and how successful the conversation prompts are to converting goals.
In the future, you'll see new dashboards including advanced drop off metrics with a stronger focus on providing our clients with the data to determine how to build better, more successful responses. I think we're going to see some incredibly exciting data on the way that is going to really change the way the market thinks about consumer chatbots.

Thank you for choosing to knit and crochet Kristin Omdahl patterns!
I know that you have thousands of choices for buying yarn and body care products. I want you to know what makes MY products special, and feel good about shopping the Kristin Omdahl brand.
Kristin Omdahl products have a heart! That's right, a portion of every sale supports the charity I established: Project Kristin Cares.
I am a survivor of domestic violence, a hugely hidden problem in our society. You, or someone you know, has been affected by it, or is still suffering now. Statistics show that 1 in 3 women, and 1 in 4 men have been victims of domestic violence during their lifetimes.
But because it is so rarely discussed, I always felt like I was alone. One of the worst parts for me was that feeling of loneliness and having a dirty secret that had to be hidden.
Through my charity, Project Kristin Cares, we can make a difference in the lives of people who have been affected by domestic violence. I want to share the message that victims are not at fault, not alone and should not be embarrassed to share their stories.
Kristin Omdahl products are beautiful, thoughtful and valuable. But even more importantly, every time you purchase a product from my company, a portion of the sale supports
Project Kristin Cares. Please help me knock out domestic violence, one sale at a time.
xoxo, Kristin

So what are agents looking for?
Just like an editor, agents want to see quality manuscripts with strong writing technique and unique voice. Kristen Nelson suggests if you are a struggling-to-publish writer, honing your voice should be your top priority. A difficult task, but one in which a critique group can prove invaluable.
They also want to have an in-depth marketing strategy to be able to show to publishers, and they want a highly marketable author with varied skills. Deidre Knight of The Knight Agency suggests writing a sharp, succinct cover letter attached to your very best material. That's not all that much to ask, is it?
Agent Janet Kobobel Grant offers a whole list of things she looks for when deciding whether or not to take on a client (used with permission):
Here's what I weigh when I make that decision, but I have to say the criteria will vary from agent to agent, but this will give you an idea of how to present yourself.
I ask:
- Has the person published before? How many books? With which publishers? What were the sales figures?
- Did the person come to me through a recommendation? Who made the recommendation?
- What kind of publishing future might this person have? Is his or her writing strong? Does it stand out from the crowd? Are the ideas creative and marketable? Would the writing have broad appeal or would it have strong appeal to a select but significant audience?
- Would a number of publishers be interested in the proposal I'm reading or just one publisher?
- Is this someone I'd like to work with?
- Do I feel excitement when I read this proposal? In publishing, you'll find that editors, agents, and yes, even publishers listen to what their instincts tell them about a project. Those who have good instincts are described as having "The Golden Gut"—their "stomach" tells them this is something new, exciting, and very sales-worthy.
For me, I don't have to answer thumbs up to all the above questions to decide to represent someone. Sometimes yes to just two of those questions can cause me to decide to represent someone. I listen to my intuition.
Your goal, as a writer, is to give an agent every reason to say yes to you and no reason to say no.
Most agents list their particular submission guidelines and what they are looking for on their website or blog. Be sure check them out before you submit. Above all, agents agree, maintain a high level of professionalism. Publishing is a business. Treat it as such.
Okay, so I know what they're looking for. Now, if I could just get one to sign me.
Next week, I'll post an interview with Kelly Mortimer of the Mortimer Literary Agency. Kelly offers particular insight into the do's and don'ts of finding an agent, so be sure to stop by.
