The modern retail market offers businesses great opportunities to reach customers, and on the other hand, it poses new challenges. Economic factors, an increasing choice of products and methods of purchase as well as unrestricted access to information mean that customers today have much higher expectations towards retailers.
The ever-growing demands of customers seem to be the biggest challenge. Recipients expect lower prices, individual product labeling and regular and quick deliveries. Operating in such conditions is certainly not an easy thing, especially for those distributors who continue to use conventional systems and supply chain processes.
Manufacturers have always focused on improving results in the area of costs, productivity, product launch time, product quality, and inventory optimization. Globalization of markets, contract production and continuous monitoring of operating activities create many opportunities, but also involve challenges.
Running a profitable construction company is a difficult task. Faced with numerous unprecedented external pressures, such as margin erosion, investor's higher expectations, rapidly changing technology and labor shortage, only the best-performing contractors will achieve higher return on investment (ROI) and lower their risk.
The contemporary dynamic market places more and more demands. Changing economic and economic factors mean that only the high efficiency of all business processes and processes can ensure the company's ability to function efficiently and dynamically. The use of information technology supporting management processes has a decisive impact on efficiency, bringing significant and measurable benefits translating into market success.
The strength of companies operating in such a specific industry, which is construction for the energy sector, is their experience, specialist knowledge and skills of suitably qualified staff and technical facilities. However, only the possibility of optimal use of these resources allows the company to spread its wings and achieve market success.
Companies specializing in the implementation of underground facilities have unique knowledge and have specialized, extremely expensive machines. It is therefore important to ensure that the technical infrastructure owned by the company is the most efficiently used, and experience, "know-how" and best practices efficiently passed on to employees.
Transport and logistics is one of the key sectors of the Polish economy. Its significance is determined not only by its own potential, but also by the role it plays in the smooth functioning of the entire industry. The key to success in the transport and logistics sector is the ability to integrate and coordinate all elements of the supply chain.
The strength of the gas sector companies is their unique know-how, expert knowledge, adequate technical resources and qualified staff. Proper use of these resources enables enterprises to further develop, maintain their existing and acquire new customers, thereby strengthening their market position.
Successful contractors usually have a reputation for companies that execute projects on time and within the original budget limits. Contractors investing in IT solutions implement projects more efficiently, delivering a higher quality product and increasing customer satisfaction.
Microsoft Dynamics AX for the professional services sector provides project management tools thanks to which you can actively organize projects and manage your employees' time effectively, project schedules, company resources etc.

There are numerous reasons why you would need to purchase another sleeping cushion: regardless of whether you're moving into another place or simply becoming ill of the drooping curls in your present bedding, the decision to redesign accompanies a million questions. Just check best mattress sales, where you can find out suitable mattress for your home.
What's more, whatever the reason for your new sleeping cushion, a quality bed won't come modest. If you don't have any desire to wind up paying excessively for another bed, you have to discover when it is the best time to purchase a sleeping pad.
Obviously, the appropriate response won't not be that obvious, be that as it may, contingent upon what you're searching for, where you need to purchase your sleeping cushion, and how much money you're hoping to spare. To be honest talking, you shouldn't purchase a sleeping pad of any sort from a physical shop except if it's vigorously marked down.
Traditional sleeping cushion stores order gigantic overall revenue and there are only a couple of times each year when they're willing to give a break that may support the client. This doesn't generally apply to multi-mark online stores as they normally run incredible discounts constantly. Similarly, the more current brands are offering straightforwardly to consumers, as Leesa Sleep and the other bed-in-a-case bedding organizations.
These brands present extraordinary costs contrasted with the traditional brands sold in physical stores year-round. Some different fabricates receive an alternate approach: they assert their settled rundown cost is the best cost for their sleeping cushion and consequently don't ever offer promotions or discounts. Amid the fall and spring, most retailers are recharging their momentum year stock – you can utilize this seasonal cycle to locate the best time to purchase a sleeping pad.
Numerous retailers commit the common error of requesting a bigger number of mattress sales than they foreseen amid the harvest time and spring to fulfill the blasting seasonal request. This implies parts mattresses-loaded trucks processing around stores – and marked down costs for consumers who can be there to purchase reduced stock and keep stores from assuming a misfortune. Odds are, whether you happen to fly in at the center of such a supply confusion, you're probably going to run home with a superior sleeping pad at a radiant cost.

Labor would seek industry input over free TAFE courses
THE Hunter's industries will be consulted about which TAFE courses could be offered for free to the region's students, under a Labor plan.
Shadow Minister for TAFE and Skills Prue Car visited Metford TAFE on Tuesday to discuss Labor's plan if elected to offer free certificate-level courses across NSW in areas where there are skill deficits, such as childcare, aged care and disability care and apprenticeships in fields such as construction, plumbing and electrical trades.
"But what we will also be doing is working with local industries to ensure colleges are offering free courses that suit the needs of the local labour market," Ms Car said.
"Something missing from what the government has done is working with local employers and local businesses.
"Every area has different needs and different industries.
"There's going to be areas that need more work in particular industries than others.
"We have to make sure young people don't leave and there's work for them locally."
Ms Car said this could "potentially" mean that TAFE colleges in the Hunter offer additional courses for free than in other parts of the state.
Electrician Danielle Barnes said the proposed scheme was an opportunity to "bridge the gap".
"A lot of people who hope to become apprentices now have a better opportunity. They won't have to pay their course fees nor will their boss."
The Berejiklian government announced last June it would spend $285 million over six years to fund 100,000 fee-free apprenticeships.
Labor has long said it would safeguard 70 per cent of vocational and further education funding for TAFE and private providers would have to compete for the remaining 30 per cent.
"The privatisation of the sector has failed," Ms Car said. "We need something bold to happen to fix it."
Labor leader Michael Daley also announced on Tuesday that if elected, Labor would invest an additional $900 million in regional and rural roads.
This is almost double the existing $500 million program and will bring total investment to $1.4 billion.

Have you seen The Hobbit movie yet? Even if you haven't you may be aware that one of the starring roles was taken by the landscapes of a little country at the bottom of the world: New Zealand.
I received a Christmas card from my mother-in-law in New Zealand that was postmarked "From Middle Earth". Does that give you an idea of how big a deal the release of the first instalment of The Hobbit movie is in New Zealand?
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey topped the US box office for its first three weekends in cinemas, demonstrating the appeal of both the story and some clever film making, even for those who have never read JRR Tolkien's iconic fantasy novel.
New Zealand's fabulous landscapes have provided the setting for the filmakers' Middle Earth in both The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogies. As a result tourists have flocked to visit the film locations and enjoy what is for many a dream travel destination.
From the rolling green hills of the Shire to the snow capped Misty Mountains, New Zealand proved the perfect place to bring Tolkien's world to life. You can go on all sorts of tours to see the locations and the gorgeous scenery but as a New Zealand native let me introduce you to a few of The Hobbit film locations I know and love.
First stop is the rich farmland of the Waikato province (where your faithful travel blogger happened to grow up). Rarely on the New Zealand tourist trail in the past, it is now home to an unusual attraction. The Hobbiton film set built for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, then repaired and expanded for the filming of The Hobbit trilogy is tucked away on a privately owned farm.
A partnership between LOTR/Hobbit director Peter Jackson and the farm owners have turned the Hobbiton film set into a charming tourism magnet. Take a look at this post on my travel blog for more images and the low down on visiting the Hobbiton film set in New Zealand.
Travelling south in New Zealand you come to the central plateau of the North Island. The volcanic landscapes and mountains here offer marvellous hiking, climbing and skiing. In the LOTR and Hobbit films this is the location for Mordor, Emyn Muil and Mount Doom. Steaming fumaroles, convulsed rocks, surreally-coloured lakes and blackened lava flows are all too real in this active volcanic area – Mt Tongariro erupted again just a few months ago. Mt Doom itself is played by two mountains – Ngaruhoe and Ruapehu.
Wellington has been dubbed "Wellywood" and New Zealand's tiny but vibrant capital city at the base of the North Island enjoyed hosting many movie stars over the past decade and more of filming. It is the base of LOTR and The Hobbit movie director Sir Peter Jackson, and also home to the Weta Workshop studios responsible for many of the amazing special effects in the films. A surprising number of scenes were also filmed around Wellington, particularly on Mt Victoria. The city has created a guide to show off its sights from The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and other movies.
Heading across Cook Strait to the South Island of New Zealand, the country's most spectacular scenery is still ahead of you. The area around Twizel and Tekapo in the Otago Province's MacKenzie country played host to filming of the epic battle at Pelennor Field, as well as the scenes in An Unexpected Journey where Bilbo and the dwarves escape orcs and wargs.
Also in this region is the Mt Cook/Aoraki and Mt Aspiring National Parks, as well as the lakeside town of Wanaka. There was a film base at Wanaka's Treble Cone ski field and here in the remote and high country were filmed Gandalf's flight to Rohan with Gwaihir after his rescue from Orthanc. Also the River Anduin, the Pillars of the Argonath were filmed in this southern lakes region.
The Lindis Pass featured as part of Fangorn Forest and then over the Crown Range is Queenstown, overlooked by The Remarkables mountain range, which stood in for Middle Earth's Misty Mountains. From Queenstown it is an easy drive out to Glenorchy and the valley of the Dart River, passing location settings for Ilithien and where the Amon Hen scenes were filmed.
In New Zealand's deep south is the huge Fiordland National Park, a land of deep waters and deeper beech forests, marked by craggy mountains. The township of Te Anau beside its picturesque lake was a base for a number of scenes in LOTR including the River Anduin, Fangorn Forest and the Dead Marshes.
It is easy to lose yourself in a Tolkienesque fantasy, just one more reason New Zealand continues to be a
dream world travel destination.

MAOI Diet Abbreviated 3.3
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOI), Tyramine and Drug Interactions (Abbreviated)
Dr P Ken Gillman V 3.3 (2018)
Key Facts
- For people who already follow healthy eating (and drinking) amounts a low tyramine diet involves very few changes
- Only some foods that have gone 'off', or those prepared using maturation and 'fermenting' techniques, can sometimes have high tyramine (less common with modern foods)
- The increased blood pressure reaction that can result from excess tyramine ingestion is proportional to the amount of tyramine ingested
- Nowadays very few foods or drinks have tyramine levels sufficiently high that a small amount (i.e. 50 grams or ml, or less) is likely to cause a problematic degree of hypertension
- All modern cheeses are safe in healthy-sized portions (25-50 grams). Only a very few matured cheeses can sometimes have higher tyramine concentrations, so a little care and awareness is still needed
- Reaction to modern foods are likely to be mild and to last less than 2 hrs. The chance of coming to serious harm is remote
- The symptoms of a reaction are: a thumping forceful heartbeat (usually a slower than normal pulse rate), paleness (pallor), rapid onset severe headache, tightness in the chest. Pulse may drop as low as 40 beats per minute
- The variability of sensitivity to tyramine between individuals means that a small percentage of people may notice mild reactions with smaller doses
- It is useful to monitor your own blood pressure, sitting & standing see: https://www.psychotropical.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/4-MAOIs-Blood-pressure.pdf
- Drugs: SSRIs and SNRIs are absolutely contra-indicated. Some cough and cold remedies are also to be avoided — see below for details.
General Summary
This is an abbreviated version of the full monograph which may be studied by those requiring more detailed information: it has full details of the tyramine content of a large range of foods and detailed explanations of drug interactions.
Interactions between monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) and other drugs are now well understood [1] and there is more data on the tyramine in foods, and also on how much is likely to constitute a problem [2]. Concentrations are given as milligrams (mg) of tyramine per kilogram (kg) or litre (L).
For those who already follow healthy eating amounts and patterns an MAOI low tyramine diet involves almost no changes at all.
There is some variation of tyramine sensitivity between individuals. Therefore, a small proportion of people may get a measurable, but not problematic, blood pressure rises with only 10 mg of tyramine, but most people need to have 25-50 mg (in a meal) to get a significant rise in BP. For a detailed analysis of the evidence relating to tyramine dose and blood pressure see refs [1, 3] and the full monograph.
Learn what 10 g or 100 g of cheese looks like. Healthy amounts of cheese are around what is safe tyramine-wise: very few contain more than 25 mg/100 grams, so a large 50 g portion (a 'healthy' portion is 25 g) contains only 12 mg of tyramine and that is not a problem, even in tyramine-sensitive individuals.
Monitor blood pressure while on MAOIs: buy a BP monitor (upper arm or wrist type).
Even if excessive tyramine is ingested and BP increase occurs, serious consequences are very unlikely. The appropriate action is to monitor BP for 1-2 hours. Hasty treatment of high BP by inexperienced Doctors risks doing more harm than good. That should only be undertaken in hospital [1, 3, 4]. Sub-lingual nifedipine should not be used; an effective dose of a benzodiazepine like 'Valium' is all that is likely to be required: see full monograph for details of advice about treatment of hypertensive episodes (urgencies). There is a PDF explaining blood pressure monitoring. There are two main reasons for BP monitoring:
1) variation in the population: some people will get more marked reactions of BP elevation with relatively smaller doses of tyramine. It will tell you if you are tyramine sensitive and alert you to the need to be careful about diet
2) BP drop on standing is the best measure of the effectiveness of a given dose and essential to optimal speed of adjustment to the final effective dose (see info re an App for mobiles that makes a graph of your BP readings).
These drugs are called Mono-Amine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs). This covers both food and drink, and drug interactions, for those taking MAOIs.
Keep some means of identifying the fact that people are on MAOIs, like with insulin, or epilepsy.
Advice on MAOIs should ideally come from specialist psycho-pharmacologists, most general psychiatrist have limited knowledge about MAOIs, but advice and assistance is available via the Google group set up to support and advise doctors (Doctors may join by applying for membership via email address below).
I have published various papers on the pharmacology of MAOIs and their interactions, see: [1, 3, 5-12].
Tyramine formation in foods requires the presence of particular micro-organisms with 'amino acid decarboxylase' enzyme-activity. It can only build up to potentially significant levels in foods that are 'fermented' deliberately using micro-organisms: e.g. some cheeses, soy sauces, salami-type sausages.
Modern food production techniques have virtually eliminated such bacteria from the 'starter-cultures' that are used for making cheeses, salamis, soy sauces etc. 'Fresh' food cannot have significant tyramine unless it has been badly contaminated and then stored without being properly chilled: and modern regulations and practices governing the food supply chain make that highly improbable.
Symptoms of Blood Pressure Reactions?
A reaction is an increase of BP over 30 – 60 minutes and usually shows first as a forceful thumping heartbeat. Pulse usually becomes slower [13]. If blood pressure goes up to 180 mm Hg or more severe headache is usual. Tightness in the chest, paleness (pallor) may occur. Symptoms may last for about two hours.
Tyramine in Foods and Beverages
Few foods, except cheese, have high tyramine and any BP reaction is proportional to the amount that is consumed: it is a dose-related effect.
For detailed data and references see full monograph.
Most cheeses now have low tyramine levels (<10 mg/kg), whether they are hard, semi-hard, acid-curd or soft [14-19], that includes almost all commercial lower priced "processed" and "supermarket" cheeses whose tyramine levels are <200 mg/kg, usually in the range of 0-50 mg/kg).
Brie and Camembert styles
These are non-matured cheese styles released after 2-4 weeks and have low tyramine levels. Examples from Austria, Holland and France had max levels of 85 mg/kg with undetectable levels in most [15].
Matured Cheeses
Parmigiano Reggiano, aged 30 months, tyramine 20-150 mg/kg [17].
Cheddar, most <50 mg/kg, and even at 36 weeks maturation all were <160 mg/kg [20].
Gouda, tyramine 100 – 250 mg/kg, Gruyere, tyramine < 100 mg/kg, Emmental, tyramine 0 – 68 mg/kg [15, 17].
Most cheeses have <250 mg/kg of tyramine, so a healthy serving of 25 g has ~6 mg of tyramine, which is perfectly safe.
Non-Matured Cheeses, Yogurt
Unripened cheese styles: these have no tyramine, e.g. curd styles, fromage frais, mascarpone, cream, ricotta, mozzarella, cottage cheeses, bocconcini. Mozzarella, Ricotta. Multiple samples, tyramine, 0 mg/kg [17]. Milk and yoghurt: no tyramine.
Marmite, Bovril, Promite, Vegemite etc.
It is likely that changes in the way these products are now prepared have lowered the tyramine content; Marmite level ~320 mg/kg of tyramine [21]. A teaspoon of 'Marmite' would have only a couple of mg, perfectly safe.
Soy sauce
Most supermarket Soy sauces have less than 200 mg/l. Normal 'condiment' quantities (10-20 ml) therefore would have <5 mg and are safe [22]. Note: unfermented soybean products, like most types of tofu, have no tyramine.
Meat and fish products
Fresh and frozen meat and meat products are safe. Fresh liver has no tyramine [23], but can spoil quickly if refrigerated badly (i.e. >4 deg.). Similarly, liver pate (and similar meat or fish pastes) are safe if properly refrigerated.
Meats, preserved
Dry cured products: Parma ham, prosciutto etc are safe, max 15 mg/kg [24].
Fermented sausages
Improved starter cultures result in much diminished tyramine content [25, 26].
Most salami types are <100 mg/kg. Therefore a 'normal' portion of 50 g will have no more than 5 mg.
It depends what you put on it. But (see cheese and salami above) many pizzas use mozzarella, which has no tyramine.
Wine and beer
Wine is safe. Modern hygienic production methods have made excessive tyramine concentrations rare (in both wine and beer). A little caution is warranted with 'boutique' and open fermented beers, rare examples can be high.
MAOIs: Interactions with other drugs
Myth: MAOIs have many dangerous interactions with other drugs.
Yet there are only two interactions: just SRIs and releasers (ISAs).
The potentially risky interactions with MAOIs are:
Serotonin syndrome, caused by (S)SRIs + MAOIs
Blood pressure elevation, caused by tyramine in food, or by the other releasers like ephedrine & pseudoephedrine.
Anti-Depressant Drugs
Any drug that works as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) is potentially dangerous (possibly fatal) if combined with an MAOI [6, 27] including:-sertraline, fluoxetine, paroxetine, fluvoxamine, citalopram, escitalopram, clomipramine or imipramine, or SNRIs like milnacipran, venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine, duloxetine.
NB It is usually stated that all TCAs pose a risk, but that is definitely not correct, it is only clomipramine and imipramine.
On ceasing other antidepressants to start MAOIs, washout intervals varying between one and five weeks may be required. No washout is required for TCAs (other than clomipramine and imipramine), or mirtazapine, mianserin, trazodone or reboxetine, because they are safe taken together with MAOIs.
Risky Analgesics
The risk is that of serotonin toxicity (ST), because some act as SRIs, as explained in detail in my review [12], pethidine (aka meperidine) and tramadol, especially, are a significant risk for anyone on MAOIs. Dextromethorphan, (dextro)propoxyphene and pentazocine are also best avoided.
It is safe to have an anaesthetic whilst on MAOIs.
It is safe to have adrenalin at the dentist.
Ceasing treatment
This advice on diet and possible interacting drugs should be followed for a minimum of two weeks (six weeks in some situations) after ceasing MAOIs (between one and three days in the case of moclobemide).

ANKARA — Turkey's state-run news agency reports that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been ordered to pay a TL 10,000 (about $4,000) fine for calling a statue in the eastern province of Kars a "monstrosity."
Erdogan expressed his dislike in 2011 of Mehmet Aksoy's giant "Monument to Humanity," which was being erected in the eastern city of Kars, prompting local authorities there to dismantle it. Aksoy then sued Erdogan for "insult."
The Istanbul 3rd Civil Court of Peace ruled on Tuesday that Erdogan must pay the fine to Aksoy for psychological damage the president caused by calling the statue in Kars a monstrosity.
Erdogan and Aksoy were represented by their lawyers during the hearing. Speaking to journalists, Erdogan's lawyer Erdopan Ferah Yildiz said they will file an appeal against the court decision.
"They put a monstrosity next to the tomb of [Muslim scholar] Hasan Harakani. It is impossible to think that such a thing should exist next to fundamental works of art." Erdogan said and that he hopes Kars Mayor Nevzat Bozkus, who hails from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party), will do what is necessary with the area in which the statue is located by the time he visits again, and mentioned that he hopes he builds a park there instead.
The statue was taken down on June 14, 2011, by the Kars Municipality.
Aksoy, the sculptor of the statue, strongly criticized Erdogan's comment, saying that his work carries anti-war themes and messages of friendship. He then filed a lawsuit against Erdogan for insulting his statue, seeking TL 100,000 in compensation for psychological damage sustained due to the insult.
The statue, which is of two 30-meter-tall concrete figures reaching out to each other, was built on a hill above Kars, just 40 kilometers from the Armenian border, in 2008. The "Monument to Humanity" was also meant to symbolize the friendship between Turkey and Armenia.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Louis Berry's Novel, There's Something in a Name
Guilt overcame him as he realized the contempt he held for those who chose a life based upon greed could be employed when describing him. Voracity for possessions that merely held physical value could no longer be ignored. He would have gladly traded his life for all that it provided, but when his avarice nearly killed Monica he understood their relationship meant more to him. Desires that were once carnal and mortal became spiritual and eternal. Continue reading

A number one ranking is always rewarding, but delivering excellent client service and our many trusted client relationships are what drive PFM.
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) January 29, 2015
Public Financial Management, Inc. (PFM) has again been ranked first overall by a sizable margin as the nation's most active municipal advisor for municipalities and non-profit organizations. This ranking is for both the number of transactions as well as the dollar value of those transactions for the full year of 2014. According to Thomson Reuters, which tracks and assembles the rankings, PFM advised on a total of 783 transactions with an aggregate principal amount of $48.6 billion. These results far outpaced all the other advisory firms, which include independent firms like PFM and other advisors. PFM garnered an 18.9 percent market share compared with only 10.8 percent for the nearest competitor.
PFM's CEO John Bonow noted that while a number one ranking is always rewarding, delivering excellent client service is what drives PFM, and the firm views its continuing success as a result of its many trusted client relationships.
"Of course, it's gratifying to retain the leadership position PFM has held for the past seventeen years. We certainly believe that our ongoing dedication to developing solutions to our client's needs as our primary goal has helped us maintain this ranking," he noted. "Governments and non-profits are increasingly looking for an independent advisor they can trust when navigating the capital markets, and they find that at PFM."
"PFM is vigilant in analyzing our clients' debt portfolios and capital plans to help them quantify what the market may offer them and access cost-effective capital. While we work on more transactions than just about every other public finance company or group, we are focused on finding the optimal funding solution for the client, including those that may not involve debt. PFM's fiercely independent character provides clients with the assurance that we are working in their best interests," he explained.
Thomson Reuters also ranked PFM first in a number of market sectors, including Combined Utilities, Primary & Secondary Education, Higher Education, Industrial Development, Transportation, Public Power, Water, Sewer & Gas, and Economic Development. Further, PFM ranked first in most geographic regions, including the Midwest, Northeast, Southeast, Mideast, and West.
Looking to the future, Mr. Bonow noted that PFM will continue looking for additional ways to be of service to clients and to deliver innovative ideas that help clients overcome their most difficult challenges. "We are heartened that so many clients recognize the value of PFM's advice and we will continue to provide unbiased advice in the years to come as well," he added. "We have been here for our clients in a variety of different market environments," Mr. Bonow noted, "and our record of service speaks for itself. The rankings are simply evidence of the faith that our clients have in our ability to be valuable partners who will always render solid advice on their behalf," he added.
For nearly four decades, PFM has built a solid presence in the municipal and non-profit marketplace and has provided independent financial advisory services to local, state, and regional government and non-profit clients throughout the United States in their dealings with the capital markets. The PFM Group has built a solid presence in the municipal and not-for-profit marketplace. The PFM Group of companies includes Public Financial Management, Inc., (PFM) the top-ranked municipal advisory firm in the nation for the past 17 years according to Thomson Reuters. PFM is a registered municipal advisor with the SEC and the MSRB under the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010.
PFM Asset Management LLC (PFMAM), also part of the PFM Group of companies, is registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and manages money market, fixed income, and multi asset class portfolios. For almost 34 years, PFMAM has specialized in providing fixed income portfolio management for separate accounts, emphasizing a conservative, low-risk, and disciplined approach to research and portfolio construction. PFMAM provides independent and objective advice to institutional and government clients on investment consulting and asset management services, as well as strategic consulting and plan benefits for Public and ERISA Pensions, OPEB Trusts, Endowments and Foundations, Insurance Trusts.
The PFM Group currently employs more than 500 individuals serving a broad base of clients from offices in every region of the country.

One of Coleraine's oldest residents has reached the magnificent age of 104.
Isobel Foster's special day was marked with low-key celebrations by her friends and staff at Killowen House in Coleraine where she has been a resident since 2002.
Along with many cards and good wishes, she also enjoyed a visit from the Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Alderman Maura Hickey.
Born in 1913, Isobel grew up in Ballyrashane, just outside Coleraine.
She married Minister the Rev James Foster, and his work as a Chaplain with the Mission to Seafarers took them to both South Africa and Argentina.
They were married for over 27 years when he died aged just 53.
Isobel said that while she has had some illnesses, she simply 'carries on' with life.
She continues to enjoy writing letters, corresponding with her pen pals using flawlessly formed hand-writing.
And when it comes to birthday presents she said simply: "I have everything I need."

Full Description
In spite of its universality, mixing is poorly understood and generally speaking, mixing problems are attacked on a case-by-case basis. This is the first book to present a unified treatment of the mixing of fluids from a kinematical viewpoint. The author's aim is to provide a conceptually clear basis from which to launch analysis and to facilitate an understanding of the numerous mixing problems encountered in nature and technology. After presenting the necessary background in kinematics and fluid dynamics, Professor Ottino considers various examples of dealing with necessary background in dynamical systems and chaos. The book assumes little previous knowledge of fluid dynamics and dynamical systems and can be used as a textbook by final-year undergraduates, graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, engineering science, geophysics and physics who have an interest in fluid dynamics, continuum mechanics and dynamical systems. It is profusely illustrated in colour, with many line diagrams and half-tones. Systems which illustrate the most important concepts, many exercises and examples are included.

Michael Seres, co-founder of 11 Health (www.11health.com), knew from personal experience about the problems for Ostomy/Stoma patients in not knowing how full a bag is or when it requires emptying. Michael set out to find a solution to this problem and after much research on the Internet found a suitable sensor and created a working hand-built prototype.
11 Health brought the prototype to Argon Design, and asked us to help them to develop this into the world-first product, called Ostom-i Alert Sensor.
Our remit was to design an electronic product which would:
We also developed an Android application for the "Google Play" Store, which considerably enhanced the user experience by allowing seamless remote interaction with the electronic module using a smartphone or tablet.
We started the project by working closely with the 11 Health to define the product requirements. Having established a good understanding of the objectives, we could then plan, manage and execute the engineering tasks.
We proposed the use of an off-the-shelf module for the Bluetooth function, as this would allow inexpensive and rapid development. A low-cost PIC embedded microcontroller was selected to read the sensor and interface to the Bluetooth module, while a high efficiency switch-mode power supply was used to optimise the battery life.
With high-level design complete, we purchased evaluation boards for the Bluetooth module and PIC microcontroller, so that development of the PIC microcontroller software could start in parallel with the hardware detailed design. While the software was being developed, we moved on to the schematic capture and PCB design. With careful component choice and PCB placement, we were able to create a design that was just 32mm x 22mm in overall size.
In parallel with the development of the electronic module we developed the Android application, which would:
We added further value to the overall solution by creating a tablet application for use in hospitals, enabling nurses to keep track of patients with stoma bags.
When all the elements of the system were complete, we tested it comprehensively in line with our quality practices, in order to achieve a high degree of confidence that the product was "right first time".
A successful launch of the Ostom-i Alert Sensor product to the public was in Q3 2013 at the UOAA National Conference.
An initial batch of 1000 units has been manufactured and units are available for consumers and health organisations to purchase. The Android application is available to download at The Google Play store, and an iPhone app is now available.

Northwest metal-heads are up to their mullets in excitement over the forthcoming Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival on Wednesday, July 14, at the Idaho Center in Nampa. The fest will feature headliners Korn, Rob Zombie, Lamb of God and Five Finger Death Punch, as well as supporting bands Atreyu, Norma Jean, 3 Inches of Blood, In This Moment, Hatebreed, Chimaira, Shadows Fall and Winds of Plague. The specially priced "Get Off Your Ass" tickets are already sold out, but there are still regular tickets available for $39.50, plus $11 in processing fees. Day of the show tickets are $49.50 plus processing fees. The Idaho Center ticketing office cautions that this could be their first sold-out general admission show in a long time.
And while Boise-area fans are amped that the fest is coming to Idaho, message-board-happy metal hounds from elsewhere aren't nearly as pleased. On the official Rockstar Mayhem Fest comment board, Iron Maiden Eddie imparted some choice wisdom: "Why the hell would Mayhem choose to go to Boise, but yet not visit New York, San Antonio, Scranton and other cities that deserve a date? I speak from experience as I was in Boise 2 years ago on a business trip and that absolutely has to be one of the most boring places on planet Earth, not to mention the most god awful Hooters that I had ever visited." Because Hooters is totally metal ...
Speaking of hooters, Owl City has already sold out his upcoming show at Knitting Factory on Tuesday, March 30. Adam Young, a fey, Ben Gibbard-ish lad who plays blinky bedroom pop, has amassed quite a local following after selling out his show last October at the Venue. His track "The Technicolor Phase" was recently featured on Almost Alice, the companion music comp inspired by Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland.
On the local album front, Boise band Fauxbois, fronted by Brian Mayer, has an album coming out on Tuesday, May 18, on local label Spark & Shine Records. Fauxbois has posted a few tracks off of Carry On at sparkandshine.com/fauxbois. Don't miss the dreamy and delightfully distortiony "Teleportation."

Local Vocal: Stop the Bush Bashing
I am disgusted about these people that go around bashing Bush on a daily basis.
They should be awarded a medal of stupidity. Whatever happened to respect for the president in office?
Oh yes, I forgot the ones that are protesting are against anything moral in this country. Stem cell research? It has already been proven that adult stem cells are more viable then fetus stem cells. The overplay of this issue shows the ignorance of those protesting. The war in Iraq '— I didn't see a draft, did you? These honorable men and women that CHOOSE to serve this country are over there fighting for the right for us back at home to bicker over such babble (one of our many luxuries that we take for granted everyday by the way). In addition, the liberation of Iraq was a good thing. What do these people want? Do they want to hand over Iraq to al Qaeda? That would be utterly beyond stupid. That means men have died in vain.
And, of course evolution taught in schools. Remember that Darwin's theory is a THEORY. Most people do believe in intelligent design. To NOT teach intelligent design as a possibility is dishonest since evolution has not and cannot be proven to be true. These people are a bunch of bleeding heart liberals that have nothing better to do than to hate someone they will never meet, let alone ever really know. Perhaps they should examine their hatred for Bush than focusing on their own selfish agendas. Gee, why don't they blame him for the hurricanes too. That is what liberals do. They play the blame game. It is a bunch of complaining, and empty rhetoric and they offer no real tangible solutions.
Get over it, people, he won, and he is doing a darn fine job. 60 million people voted for him, so deal with it, and grow up.
Tessa Martin
Whereabouts unknown
editor responds: In a democracy such as ours it is every citizen's right, even their responsibility, to look upon those that govern us with a critical eye. They work for us, not the other way around. And as far as '"respect for the president in office'" goes, respect does not come with the job title. It is something that must be earned by integrity and dedication to serving the people he represents.
You are patently wrong on some other points as well.
On stem cell research, we do not know where you got your facts, but this is a quote from the National Institute of Health: '"Embryonic stem cells can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells are generally limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin.'"
On the 'volunteer' troops in Iraq: Yes, members of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines did choose to serve, though arguably most of them were just looking for a way to pay for college or to get decent job training. The members of the National Guard certainly did not sign up for overseas duty '— they enlisted to provide DOMESTIC support for things like terrorist attacks and, yes, hurricanes.
And as far as the theory of evolution goes, show me one REAL scientist who does not espouse Darwin's theorem and the rest of them will likely revoke his pocket protector. And if it is '"dishonest'" not to teach intelligent design, wouldn't it also be dishonest to leave out all other creation theories? The Aztecs believed the world was created by the goddess Coatlique who was impregnated by an obsidian knife and gave birth to the moon and stars. The Australian Aborigines believe man was created by eternal ancestors called Ungambikula, who carved them out of the earth. Others believe man and woman were created when aliens came down to earth and had sex with monkeys. Are all of these 'theories' valid or is it only your own Judaeo-Christian cosmology that should be force-fed to our children?
Lady, you are an ass. And if you send us your address we'll put one of those '"medal[s] of stupidity'" in the mail for you. And also a YES! Weekly T-shirt.

Vodafone UK enterprise director Peter Kelly discusses the prospect of unified comms in the public sector in 2011
"Our indirect partners, with close links to local businesses, remain a significant channel into SMEs. Unified comms will be an area of growth for partners.
"Now is a crucial time in the public sector. Not only must organisations manage the increasing demand for public services, they need do so as they transform how services are delivered.
"It will be vital public sector organisations deliver services in a more efficient way and embrace technology to deliver transformation.
"Flexible working policies can help them become more efficient by enabling property rationalisation and reducing travel budgets. To be effective, flexible workers need the same communications capabilities they have at their desk, with the same level of security for company data.
"Also, this will be the year of the smart meter as large scale deployment begins across the UK."

Archaeologists from Bonn discover in Mexico the tomb of a Maya prince!
WEBWIRE – Monday, July 30, 2012
Cup provided the clue!
Archaeologists from the Department of Anthropology of the Americas at the University of Bonn have been excavating for the past four years together with the Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History in the Maya city of Uxul in Campeche, Mexico. The aim of the excavation project under the direction of Prof. Dr. Nikolai Grube and Dr. Kai Delvendahl is to investigate the process of centralization and collapse of hegemonic state structures in the Maya Lowlands using the example of a mid-sized classic Maya city (Uxul) and its ties to a supra-regional center (Calakmul). Research at Uxul, located close to the border with Guatemala, is being funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
Since 2011, excavations have concentrated on the royal palace complex, which is located directly south of the main plazas in the center of Uxul. The palace extends 120 x 130 meters and consists of at least eleven individual buildings which surround five courtyards. "The palace complex was built around 650 AD, a time when the neighboring ruling dynasty from Calakmul was extending its influence over large areas of the Maya Lowlands" explains Professor Grube. In 2011, six sculpted panels were discovered during excavations of the southern stairway of the largest building of the group, Structure K2. Four of these panels depict kings from Calakmul, playing ball. The similarities in the layout of the centers of Calakmul and Uxul and especially of the main palace complexes in the two cities let the researchers to suggest that Uxul, originally a smaller independent kingdom, may have been temporarily ruled and inhabited by members of the Kaan Dynasty of Calakmul. Through recent excavations in several of Uxul´s central buildings, the changes in the physiognomy of the city´s center can be linked directly to the time of military and political expansion of the Kaan Dynasty during the reign of Yukno´m Ch´een II, in the first half of the 7th century. However, the influence subsided after 705 AD, and there is a strong likelihood that a local ruling family came back to power for a few generations. At the start of the 9th century, Uxul was almost completely abandoned.
"During this year´s excavation below one of the southern rooms of Structure K2, we have discovered a richly furnished tomb, which can be dated to the time right after the influence of Calakmul in Uxul had ended" explains Dr. Delvendahl. The walls of the crypt are made of rough stone and the chamber was covered with a corbel vault, typical for the Maya culture. In the interior of this tomb chamber which dates back about 1,300 years, the remains of a young man were discovered who was buried on his back with his arms folded. Deposited around him were four ceramic plates and five ceramic vases in an exceptionally preserved state, some of which were decorated with spectacular paintings and moldings. A unique plate, painted in the famed Codex-Style, was covering the skull of the deceased.
Vessel with dedication may point to the identity of the deceased.
"On one of the vases, there was a simple dedication, written in elegantly molded hieroglyphics, which read: '[This is] the drinking vessel of the young man/prince'. Also a second molded vessel appears to mention a young man or prince" says Professor Grube. Although these references are not definite clues as to the identity of the departed, the location of the tomb and the absence of certain status markers, such as jade jewelry, would indicate that the deceased was a young male member of the ruling family who was not in direct line for the throne. A possible date on one of the vessels corresponds to the year 711 AD; therefore the death of the young prince and the construction of his tomb can be dated back to the second or third decade of the 8th century. The exceptionally preserved ceramics in particular make this tomb one of the most significant discoveries of its kind in the entire Maya Lowlands.
Road construction to improve Main Street – Monday, March 01, 2010
Road construction to improve Main Street
Monday, March 01, 2010
Commuters in downtown Humble have been grappling with traffic congestion as Main Street intersection renovations begin, and traffic is funneled down to one lane. Mayor Donnie McMannes provided an update on progress with the project designed to give historic downtown an Old-World charm.
"This project has been eight years in the making," said McMannes. "I'm glad to see the progress taking place."
The first of the downtown renovations is the intersection of Main Street and Avenue A. "We've been working on the intersection for two or three weeks," said McMannes. "Most of the work at this point is rough work."
McMannes said the old concrete has been removed. Concrete boxes that connect storm sewers and the new water lines have been installed and buried.
"All of the prep work had to be completed before we start work on the intersection's design," he said. "The old water lines are around 70 years old. They need to be replaced now, so we don't develop a problem and have to tear everything up later."
As a side note, the mayor said workers who were hollowing and leveling the intersection recently discovered more than 100 horseshoes and a rasp file that appear to have been in the ground under the street for a long time. He speculated that they may be from an old blacksmith shop in the area.
"We could get through the process of replacing the road a lot faster if we closed the intersection completely down, said McMannes, "but there are businesses there that need access to their property. We will work on one side of the street, then move to the other side. It may take a little longer, but it will be better for the businesses downtown."
McMannes said the forecast for completion of the project is dependent on weather, but will involve at least another month's work. When the project is finished, he said the city will have a fresh new look. New concrete will extend 30 to 40 feet from the intersection, which will be surfaced with red and gray pavers in a herringbone design. There will be a gray star in the middle of the intersection, surrounded by a red-brick design inside a gray-brick circle. The intersection will be modified to accommodate those with disabilities, which will include sloped sidewalks to accommodate wheelchairs and a pedestrian priority traffic button.
"The old suspended street lights will be replaced. A light pole with an arm will reach across with the new traffic lights on it, then the light post rises up to a turn of the century street light," said McMannes.
The Mayor also said this project is the first of the downtown street renovations, but that it will not be the last. He said, however, that the Main Street and Avenue A intersection would be the most elaborate. Those that follow will be a little more modest, but still complement this first intersection.
Lynne McTaggart: Why Dan Brown's Science Fiction Is Mostly Fact
Written by: Lynne McTaggart: Why Dan Brown's Science Fiction Is Mostly Fact
"One of the main characters in Dan Brown's new book The Lost Symbol , is a scientist particularly interested in 'mind over matter': the power of thought–or intention–to affect and change the world. The 'big idea' in Dan Brown's book is that science is only now providing evidence of what ancient traditions have traditionally espoused: that thought has a tangible power, enabling human beings to be creators of their own world.
I'm in a unique position to comment on this as I have extensively studied all the science Brown includes in his book, written two bestselling books on the subject and I facilitate these kinds of experiments all over the world. In fact, Brown prominently singled out me, my book, The Intention Experiment, my research and my website www.theintentionexperiment.com for special mention in the blockbuster, claiming that one of his main characters was 'fascinated' by my work and my web-based global laboratory, testing the power of thought.
Although Solomon is solidly fiction, the vast majority of her work is based on solid fact.
In a sizeable body of research exploring the nature of consciousness, carried on for more than 30 years in prestigious scientific institutions around the world — Princeton and Stanford Universities, the Universities of Arizona and California, and, in Europe, the Universities of Freiberg and Edinburgh –thoughts directed at targets in the laboratory have been shown capable of altering machines, cells and even complex organisms like human beings. This mind-over-matter power even seems to traverse time and space.
In my own web-based experiments, we involve thousands of participants in 90 countries around the world, sending thoughts to targets created in rigorous laboratory settings at the University of Arizona, Pennsylvania State University, University of California at Davis, and other prestigious universities in Europe. Of our 19 experiments to date, 16 have shown significant positive results, six of which have been published in a scientific paper.
These studies go well beyond spoonbending tricks. This central idea, that consciousness affects matter, lies at the very heart of an irreconcilable difference between the world view offered by classical physics – the science of the big, visible world – and that of quantum physics – the science of the world's most diminutive components. These discoveries offer convincing evidence that all matter in the universe exists in a web of connection and constant influence, which often overrides many of the laws of the universe that we used to believe held ultimate sovereignty.
At least 40 top scientists in academic centres of research around the world have demonstrated that an information transfer constantly carries on between living things, and that thought forms are simply another aspect of transmitted energy. Hundreds of others have offered plausible theories embracing even the most counter-intuitive effects, such as time-displaced influence, as now consistent with the laws of physics.
Ideas about the power of thought are no longer the ruminations of a few eccentric individuals. They now underpin many well-accepted disciplines in every reach of life, from orthodox and alternative medicine to competitive sport. Medical scientists often speak of the 'placebo effect' as an annoying impediment to the proof of the efficacy of a chemical agent. It is time that we understood and made full use of the power of the placebo. Repeatedly, the mind has proved to be a far more powerful healer than the greatest of breakthrough drugs.
Frontier science is the art of inquiring about the impossible. All of our major achievements in history have resulted from asking an outrageous question. What if stones fall from the sky? What if giant metal objects could overcome gravity? What if there is no end of the earth to sail off of? All of the discoveries about the power of thought and remote influence have similarly proceeded from asking a seemingly absurd question: what if our thoughts could affect the things around us?
True science always begins with an unpopular question, even if there is no prospect of an immediate answer – even if the answer threatens to overturn every last one of our cherished beliefs. The scientists engaged in consciousness research must constantly put forward unpopular questions about the nature of the mind and the extent of its reach. In our group Intention Experiments, we have asked the most impossible question of all: what if a group thought could heal a remote target? It is a little like asking, what if a thought could heal the world?
It is an outlandish question, but the most important part of scientific investigation is just the simple willingness to ask the question. Mainstream science has grown ever more fundamentalist, dominated by a few highly vocal scientists who believe that our scientific story has largely been written. Nevertheless, a small body of resistance carries on in defiance of this restricted view. With every unorthodox question asked, with every unlikely answer, frontier sciences such as those featured in my books – and now Dan Brown's — remake our world. May they and their ilk light our way."

Imaginary Fred/
Book Information
Rating: Outstanding
Reading/Interest Level: Primary
Author: Eoin Colfer
Illustrator: Oliver Jeffers
Publisher: HarperCollins
Year: 2015
Pages: 48
Being alone is no fun, but if you're lucky, you will be able to have an imaginary friend to keep you company. Fred is an imaginary friend. He floated around alone until, one day, a lonely child wished for him and he could go play with that child until the child grew out of him. Every time a child made other friends, Fred would fade away until someone new wanted him. He finally makes a friend named Sam who is the dream friend that Fred has always wanted, and he knows that when Sam doesn't need him anymore will be the saddest day of his imaginary life. When Sam makes a new friend, Fred is worried, but when Sam's new friend has an imaginary friend, Fred might never have to be alone again.
Although Fred is imaginary, the book shows will be familiar to anyone who has ever had a friendship fade away or who has felt lonely. It teaches that the rules of friendship applies to all kinds of friendships. The main character being an imaginary friend is a wonderful way to show the power of friendship, but also how hard it can be when friends come and go from your life. Some of the references, like Carnegie Hall and comic books, might be over the head of some younger readers, but the text makes it more geared towards older picture book readers anyway. This book will appeal to anyone who is lonely, likes imaginary friends, or even just likes friendship.

Public transportation can be a hotbed for sexual violence against women. To address it, city officials and private individuals around the world are creating women-only modes of transportation that allow women to get from point A to point B without the threat of unwanted sexual contact. Here are some of the ways women can commute without the annoying and often dangerous hassle.
Rickshaw: Lahore, Pakistan
[protected-iframe id="dba71047b889d60c992281d994c53c0b-83869857-82484448″ info="https://embed.theguardian.com/embed/video/world/video/2015/apr/10/pakistani-woman-female-rickshaw-lahore-video" width="560″ height="315″ frameborder="0″ allowfullscreen=""]
Fed up with being groped and harassed by male rickshaw drivers, Zar Aslam created a women-only rickshaw service. She has only built one car so far, but hopes to expand the service in Lahore, Pakistan.
Sunita Choudhary became the first female rickshaw driver in North India back in 2012. She started the job to make extra money while fighting court cases against her husband. On the back of her taxi, it reads: "Life is a struggle … This cab gives free rides to the injured and accident victims."
A women-only minibus service is operating in Nepal's capital city that aims to make women feel more comfortable and secure as they travel. According to a 2013 World Bank survey, around a quarter of young women in Nepal have been subjected to sexual harassment on public transportation, which is particularly problematic during peak hours.
Bus: Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan
The first minibus service for women sick of wandering hands and unwanted attention on regular bus services was launched by Pakistani authorities last year. However, it has come under fire from some, who worry it only encourages misogyny. Journalist Erum Shaikh wrote, "The mere fact that the authorities thought it appropriate to introduce something like this should actually offend women and yet we sit there, smile, look pretty and let the big, tough, muscular men build walls around us to 'protect' us."
Bus: Kuala Lampur, Malaysia

— Yusri (@fityusri24) February 11, 2014
Transport officials launched the Rapid Lady Bus service, which carries women—and only women—through the city during rush hour.
Metro: Cairo, Egypt
In Egypt, where 99 percent of women have experienced sexual harassment, according to a report published by U.N. Women in 2013, designating women-only subway cars might have seemed a smart safety measure. But, some there question the implications of segregating public space by gender, and whether or not women-only cars are the best way to prevent harassment. "Men ride the women's car and specifically ride it just to target women," said Rebecca Chiao, founder of Harassmap a volunteer-based initiative that works to end the social acceptability of sexual harassment.
Metro: Tokyo, Japan
Tokyo's Metro adopted women-only cars for the morning rush hour to give women, elementary school students and younger children a higher sense of security. After years of failed attempts to eliminate groping on subways, the cars provide an alternative to crowded co-ed commutes. But some women worried whether they'd be seen as willing victims if they opted to board co-ed cars instead.
The city of Rio De Janeiro introduced women-only train cars in 2006. The first women-only cars in Brazil were introduced to Sao Paulo back in 1995, but were discontinued due to complaints from married couples, and the possibility of violating Article 5 of the Brazilian Constitution, which guarantees equality among citizens.
Taxi: New York City
SheRides, a smartphone app founded by Stella Mateo that offers female passengers women-only drivers, was the first of its kind in New York City, where 98.9 percent of yellow cab drivers are men, and taxi driving is one of the most dangerous jobs for workers in a large city.
Taxi: Mumbai, India
Viira Cabs, based in Mumbai, provides door-to-door taxi service to females, with women-only drivers. The cabs are also monitored on a GPS system with panic alerts. Not only that, the company provides job training and driver education for women from low income groups.

Asians tend to have one type of a beauty that no other type of people in the world have. The bottom-line is that, their unique facial structure have always imparted a big effect on the definitions of beauty. One of the most iconic features of the Asian community is their eyes. The formation of their eyes has such a special anatomy such that sometimes you can't figure out how they even provide a good vision. But there are common eye-related issues amongst Asians.
Here are 3 of them.
- Poor opening of the eyes
Have you noticed how it's almost like they can't see when they smile? This is typically due to the unusual covering of the eyes. Being a genetic feature for the Asians, it can be surgically fixed. But then again, the people have been used to it so much that they don't see it as a problem or even the need of getting it fixed. But the truth is that, it is a condition that could bring perilous consequences if it was in extremely unfavorable levels.
- Upper eyelids being dropped low
There is a condition amongst the Asians where when the eyebrow is raised, the upper eyelid would drop down, although it is supposed to go up. This gives such a sleepy look that ruins a bright face. The bad thing about this condition is that, it could happen to one eye or the both. The only way to fix this is the ptosis surgery. Being caused by an earlier anatomic deficiency in the levator muscle complex, the outcome will only be perfect as long as your surgeon is talented. Because it either can be fixed or simply covered up.
- The creaseless eyelids
The harmful effects of creaseless eyelids are both serious and not so much. Being one very common occurrence amongst females, it can make the application of making up harder for starters. It also tends to accumulate fat and oils when there is no crease. Furthermore, the vision will be hindered and there will be a default sleepiness in the eyes. While double eyelid surgery is the answer for this, it also works for the previous condition too. This clinical procedure is supposed to be quite efficient as long as it is performed by a licensed doctor.
There are several other unique conditions for Asians and the bottom-line is that they are easy to be dealt with as long as there is good medical attention. That way, the conditions will be fixed in a way where it will look like it was never there.

I am on a train. My Poetry playlist is doing what it does; syncing with the sinking sun, blood-orange and blinding, which seems to peek from in between limbs of endless trees in time to the each and every beat. My heart is light, and my feet are (cheekily) perched beside my bottom upon my window seat. The sky is pale and streaked with remnants of plane-trails, blue blending into bruised peach, and I almost cannot breathe.
I am in love.Read More

A counsellor can help you discuss emotive issues and will help couples that want to save their marriage. Counsellors are professionally trained, though some offer their services voluntarily. They are trained to listen and to help you to work out your own solutions to relationship problems. They don't negotiate for you or tell you what to do.
Family support is counselling that can help the whole family to deal with problems and prevent relationships breaking down and families splitting up.
Tackling problems early is important in order to save a relationship. The longer a problem is left unresolved, the harder it usually is to deal with it.
Counselling can also help a family to accept what is happening to them and to deal with the emotional stress that separation or divorce can cause within a family. Attempting to work things out through counselling or mediation could lead to better family decisions and long-term relationships after the divorce.
Parents' helpline
Parents Helpline supports thousands of families throughout Northern Ireland each year. All of the helpline volunteers are either parents themselves or have a lot of experience working with families and therefore understand how stressful it can be to raise children and young people in today's society.
Parents Helpline offers support on all types of family problems. These range from coping with crying babies, through to dealing with behaviour problems, bullying, drugs, the effect of separation and divorce, a child's sexuality or abuse. Any family member can call Parents Helpline.
You can negotiate directly with your partner and reach agreement without any outside help about issues such as your children's care and splitting property and finance. That is usually the best way. You may not be able to reach agreement on everything, but it can still help to make issues easier to resolve even if you go to court.
Mediation can be used when you have decided to go ahead with a divorce, dissolution or separation by helping you to work out solutions in ways that reduce confrontation.
Couples who have separated but have not yet begun Court proceedings, are eligible for free family mediation sessions. This service is delivered by Family Mediation NI and funded by the Health and Social Care Board
Tax credits and relationship breakdown
If you received tax credits as a couple but have now split up, and you want to make a claim as a single person, you don't need to fill in a new claim form. You can make your new claim over the phone by calling the Tax Credit Helpline.

If you're concerned about your height, then this article is for you. Here is what you should know about how to increase growth hormones for height. Human growth hormone (HGH) is a naturally occurring hormone with many functions. The pituitary—a pea sized endocrine gland located at the base of your brain—synthesizes it. HGH regulates body composition, fluids, muscle and bone growth, sugar and fat metabolism, and to some degree, heart function. It is produced in greater concentration during childhood and adolescence, which spurs intensive growth and development during these years. As you push into your 20s, the pituitary gland slows production and thereby growth. Here's how! – waysandhow, diy, diy video, how-to

His throat is long
like an egret's, elegant
as a bride's dress,
and sits squarely
atop his torso
like a pillar
His throat meets
his strong jaw, a pair
of triangles
that flair afar
from his pointed
chin which mirrors
the length of his nose.
His throat is lithe
and sinewy and
soft even though
its core is strands
of muscle like garland
wrapped around the Christmas
tree of discs and cartilage.
His throat is a target
for the sky jumper of kisses
which land atop the softness
of his skin.
My kisses, like planted bulbs
drawn down to the pools
of his clavicle.
His throat is my envy.
