Hi everyone,
We've been using Marketo for a while.. We could start scoring after we made like ten campaigns and managed to score the actions taken backwards in the system. Now, we need to see the scores on a person / campaign basis. So here is the question, I can see a total score on a person basis, but is it possible to create a report that we can review on a campaign basis in person detail?

Yet I think since it is not known as being in the top two holidays of the year if often gets overlooked. The story is great representation of how we can lose sight of the big picture in our lives and get sucked into the culture of "me". The culture of death thinks of me, myself and I. But as Frater Matthew says in the article below, we must first deny ourselves and accept the crosses we are given in everyday life to follow God with a sincere heart. It makes the joys and blessings in our lives so much more sincere and appreciative.

It is not unusual for an Alzheimer's caregiver to wonder if the person living with Alzheimer's or a related dementia still loves them. Do they?

Many Alzheimer's and dementia patients shadow their caregiver. This means they follow us around, or call out our name when when they can't see us.
You can learn more about this phenomena and the articles I wrote on this topic on the following topics page -
Alzheimer's patients often become angry when we leave them alone for any period of time. They asked for us repeatedly and want to know when we are coming back. They miss us fiercely.
- They miss us because we are their connection to the world.
- They miss us because they rely on us to protect them against any and all demons real or imagined.
Have you ever given any real thought to this phenomena? You should.

Customer Reviews
Phoenix Pro Composite Paddle
The paddle has decent power but doesn't tolerate off-center hits of any kind. For my taste it is a little on the light side too.
This paddle is a little heavier than first paddle I tried but, coming from tennis background, this was definitely preferable. It has excellent power and the ball just pops off. Others I play with have tried out as well and love the responsiveness of the paddle in comparison to their Champion paddles. This is the second Phoenix Pro I have purchased and in spite of trying others, I come back to this paddle. I will say, finesse and drop shots are not really a part of my game so I can't attest to the paddle performance in that style of play. Also, Pickleball Experts is an amazing company to deal with. I highly recommend this company as well as this paddle.
I was using a phoenix pro and loved it....I play often and I play tournaments..This paddle has been all I every wanted or needed..It allows me to power up or dink..one shot drop and laying up a soft touch shot...I LOVE IT>>:):)
Love this paddle... weight is perfect for me and hand grip too plus I love the color!

As a meeting planner, I struggled to find the right software to help manage all that goes into working with a hotel and multiple vendors on BEOs, audiovisual, food and beverage requests, and presentations. Any "right" solutions were over-priced or didn't focus on what I wanted the system to do.
So I built my own.

Correction appended
While record-high numbers of academically prestigious freshmen are enrolling at Ivy League colleges, fewer smart students are choosing to attend GW, according to a report presented at last Friday's Faculty Senate meeting.
The report, "The Decline in Elite Freshmen Admissions," highlights aspects of this rift including fewer freshman recipients of National Merit Scholarships, a 6 percent drop in early decision I applicants and a 15 percent drop in early decision II applicants for fall 2008 admission.
"Faculty members who have read the report are both surprised and concerned," said Donald Parsons, a professor of economics and chair of the Faculty Senate's educational policy committee. "The few administrators who have given an opinion seem skeptical that the phenomenon exists at all."
Members of a Faculty Senate committee commissioned the report in response to a $1 million cut in funding for merit scholarships in its 2007-2008 operating budget. High tuition and cuts to available merit aid caused concern for some administrators. They worried GW might seem less attractive to academically prestigious students. Many of these students took advantage of GW's generous merit scholarship awards in previous years.
Parsons said he has been circulating the report to professors and administrators as a means to stimulate debate about GW's current policies.
"Only the administration can address issues of resources," Parsons said. "GW has a long tradition of 'top down' governance. Although that may be changing under (University President Steven) Knapp, under the last president, faculty 'surprise and concern' over an issue of educational quality was not something that would affect policy."
Margaret Soltan, an English professor who blogs on higher education, said the University is failing to attract, or failing to keep, the best students who apply to GW.
"If GW has (the money), it should certainly spend like a drunken sailor on scholarships for our best students," Soltan said. "But I get the feeling GW doesn't really have these resources anymore – at least not in the way it once did."
GW was not among the 98 colleges and universities with at least 20 National Merit Scholars among the classes they admitted last spring. The trends for National Merit Scholar enrollment is "almost entirely driven by the amount of internal funds devoted to National Merit Scholarships," meaning GW is not spending enough on merit scholarships, the report said.
"It is important for schools to attract students with strong academic records," said Cheryl Beil, assistant vice president for academic planning. "This group would include National Merit Scholars, but is not limited to merit winners."
In the early 1990s, when GW was aiming to increase its students' academic profiles, Beil said the University made a concerted effort to recruit National Merit Scholars. This effort led to a "bi-modal class."
"At one end was the high SAT scorers made up of National Merit Scholars (and at) the other was the bulk of GW students at that time, with lower SAT scores," Beil said, adding that GW faculty found it difficult to teach to this group because the differences among them were so vast.
But other professors are not bothered by the trends detailed in the report.
Professor Barbara von Barghahn said, "I have been teaching art history at GW since 1974. Quite honestly, many of my very best students have not been 'elite' freshmen."
This article has been changed to reflect the following correction (April 17, 2008):
The Hatchet erroneously reported that the University commissioned the report, "The Decline in Elite Freshmen Admissions." Members of a Faculty Senate committee commissioned the report.
This article appeared in the April 17, 2008 issue of the Hatchet.

The root corruption of the nuclear deal that the Obama administration reached with Iran in July 2015 was not only that Iran got to keep its nuclear facilities, but that then-president Barack Obama didn't insist on truly intrusive international supervision of what goes on deep inside them.
After all, Iran had clandestinely crossed every red line set by the West over 20 years – putting nuclear plants online, building heavy water facilities, refining uranium, working on explosive triggers and warheads, and generally breaching all its obligations under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty – and Iran got away with it.
It lied, formally and repeatedly, to the international community about its nuclear efforts.
So "anywhere, anytime" international inspections of Iran's secret-most nuclear and military facilities were the minimum prerequisite for a verifiable deal. Obama said so himself, but then reneged on this.
Under the terms of the P5+1 agreement with the Ayatollahs (known as the JCPOA), UN inspectors were given the right only to "coordinate" their visits to suspect Iranian sites, "in consultation between Iran and the world powers."
Worse still, Iran was given the right to deny and challenge UN requests to send inspectors to suspicious sites. In these cases, an arbitration board composed of Iran and the powers would decide on the issue. This allows Tehran time to cover up any sign of non-compliance with its commitments.
The sycophantic then-US secretary of state John Kerry called this "managed access," which is a week-kneed euphemism for nowhere, no-time inspections.
Since then, of course, Iran has stymied access by international inspectors to military and nuclear sites, especially the Parchin military base, where Iran clearly was experimenting with nuclear weapon production.
NOW, THE HEAD of the UN's nuclear watchdog agency is refusing to take at face value evidence presented by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about secret atomic archives and warehouses in Tehran.

Does the UN really think Netanyahu is bullshiting? As my user name states I want peace not some lie that helps dictators get away with nuclear weapon construction. I honestly can't figure out what the UN is planning for Israel.

By Silvia Martelli
On April 22, health secretary Jeremy Hunt wrote a letter to leading internet companies, such as Facebook and Google, accusing them of "collectively turning a blind eye to a whole generation of children exposed prematurely to the harmful emotional side effects of social media". To address the critical situation, he claimed that the government will impose legislation to protect young people online if companies fail to outline action on cutting harmful exposure to the internet before the end of April.
Mr. Hunt already met major internet companies six months ago, asking them to cooperate in order to improve the wellbeing of young people. "There have been a lot of warm words […]", he recently claimed, "but the overall response to my challenge has been extremely limited, leaving me to conclude that a voluntary, joint approach has not been sufficient".
Mr. Hunt's worries are simply the honest acknowledgment of an increasingly digitized era that tends to swallow up defenseless children more and more. This same reality seems to be largely ignored by most internet companies, which, following the secretary's ultimatum, now have to act on screen-time limits, reduction of cyber-bullying and abuse, and improvement of age verification to prevent underage exposure to websites.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (APP) defines screen time as the "time spent using digital media for entertainment purposes" – whether that is gaming, using social media or watching Youtube videos. In the case of children, screen time has substantial negative effects, such as attention problems, school problems, sleep disorders and obesity. It is therefore crucial for parents to successfully monitor and reduce kids' exposure to the internet, stimulating 'productive time' instead. In the 21st century, this seems an impossible task, and yet it could be achieved through some basic steps: replacing ipads during meals by constructive conversations, privileging physical activities over videogames, and fostering in-persons relationships over social media toxic interactions. A legislation in favor of reducing screen time could be only helpful for parents left with this difficult task, making their job a little easier.
Cyber-bullying (bullying that takes place over digital mediums) is another key reason behind the necessity of imposing children protection laws. Recent statistics show that 1 in 3 children experience cyberbullying, 1 in 4 had it happen more than once, and only 1 in 10 will inform a parent or trusted adult of the abuse. Furthermore, cyberbullying victims are 2 to 9 times more likely to contemplate suicide. Given these statistics, it is extremely irresponsible and morally corrupt for companies to ignore this critical situation, allowing cyber-bullying to badly impact young lives by generating depression, anxiety and addiction to social media themselves (aninquiry set up Tory MP Alex Chalk, The Children's Society and YoungMinds shows indeed that victims of cyberbullying check their news feeds much more often than non-victims). It is therefore imperative that action is taken towards healthy behaviors on social media.
If companies fail to outline a plan to protect children, then hopefully a new legislation will manage to tackle the issues. Surely, parents are children's main role models, and as such it is crucial that they truly commit to changes that promote healthy digital media habits, such as leaving technology out of the bedroom at night. Yet, they should not be left alone with the tough decision of whether to allow their children to use "platforms they are too young to access", or to exclude them "from social interaction that often the majority of their peers are engaging in", in Mr. Hunt's words.

Food Substitutions:
Here are a few simple substitutions that will take you a long way in controlling the sugar spikes.
It is funny how food we eat can really make a difference. Much of this may sound like a sea of change if you are not used to them as change or fear of the unknown is what each one of us are afraid of. But with courage of conviction, you can overcome that.
And the best part is you will get rewarded for eating right everyday by way of your blood sugar monitor numbers turning in the normal range.
Things to avoid:
When hunger pangs/cravings hit:
Other tips:
Snack Ideas:
Here are some healthy recipe ideas from my kitchen, to get you started:
A sample menu for a day of good eating:
Breakfast (7:30 am)
Snack (10:00 am)
Lunch (12:30 pm)
Snack (3:30 pm)
Dinner (7:00)
Snack (9:30)
Note Let the last meal of the day have more of easy digestible fruits than anything heavy-duty. Also, include the remaining two glasses of water anywhere in between say, a glass of water upon waking up (after daily ablutions)

Once you received the course specifications for every single subject, go through the specifications very carefully to make certain you can truly deal with the workload. When you study online with Open Colleges there are no strict schedules and no assessment due dates so you genuinely can study around your life. Online professors are very fast in replying to inquiries, and are needed by some schools to have an answer inside 24 hours. On the internet and blended understanding is a well-liked option for a lot of students – specifically these keen to combine study and perform. At APM you can study our nationally accredited programs via our objective designed on the web understanding platform.
Blended Understanding: This is typically referred as mixed mode of studying, a blend of standard face-to-face lectures, workshops, and tutorials with learning on the web by way of activities like emailing, discussing via discussion boards, tests, quizzes, and announcements. This quantity is related for on the internet students, but in a virtual environment as an alternative of a classroom.
As a King's student, you will have access to the massive number of online databases and electronic journals we subscribe to, as properly as a limited, but developing, quantity of e-books. Torrens offers true flexibility for on the internet study no matter exactly where you are or what you are undertaking, with the added rewards of optional live Touch-Points every single trimester across Australia.
The expense of an on the internet degree will rely on a number of elements – the selection of significant or places of education – company, psychology, nursing, education or other- the variety of degree and regardless of whether it is an associate degree, bachelor's, master's, MBA or doctorate. You will get to pick from an Associates degree or a Bachelors Degree based on your region of study.
The totally free on-line paralegal courses supplied via web generally contain the course details advised for students and experts. But of course, the issue with such escalated online rhetoric, he explained in that 1994 essay, is that it trivializes the atrocities of Hitler and the Nazis during the Holocaust. Get all the textbooks and other course supplies early so that you won't fall behind on your on the web study.

Glyptodonts are an extinct family of large, heavily armored cingulate xenarthras related to the extinct pampatheres and modern armadillos.
Glyptodonts were basically giant armadillos, but their armor was solid, not in bands, as in modern species. They evolved in South America, and were some of the few South American species that moved to North America during the Great Panama Interchange. Unlike their smaller cousins, all of the glyptodonts died out during the Pleistocene Epoch.

Mama Grace* washed her clothes by hand and began to hang them on the line in the yard. The Tanzanian sun felt warm upon her face, but the constant breeze kept her from sweating. Her tiny daughter, Eunice*, lay napping on a blanket in the grass.
Mama Grace lifted the heavy clothes and clipped them on the line, lifted and clipped, lifted and clipped, until the load was hung and her arms were tired. She headed to check on Eunice.
As she neared the sleeping baby, Grace stopped in horror. A large snake was lying beside the toddler, its thick head resting on Eunice's forehead. Grace stood still. She didn't know what type of snake this was- puff adder? cobra? mamba? Did it really matter? There are so many poisonous snakes in Tanzania. Snakes that spit and strike and snakes that kill.
Maybe Eunice has already been bitten, she thought. She's lying so still.
Baby Eunice stirred, but her eyes remained closed. The snake rose up slowly and lowered back down onto Eunice's head.
Please don't move, Baby! Mama Grace willed. Should I run? Should I scream? Should I stay perfectly still?
Eunice stirred again. Her little fist raised to bat the air. The snake rose up slowly and lowered back down onto Eunice's head.
Grace began to pray. Lord, please send this snake away. Make it go. Protect my child. Give me grace.
The minutes passed and Grace remained still as she prayed. Eunice slept quietly, the snake resting comfortably atop her head, most likely feeling the warmth from the sun and the warmth of the toddler's body temperature.
And then the snake moved. It simply slithered away, out of the yard and into the brush beyond.
Mama Grace lunged toward Eunice and scooped her up. The toddler awoke, yawned and stretched. She was unharmed! She was unaware! She was safe!
Grace told her story to me through an interpreter a few weeks later.
"I thought my baby would die that day," she said. "I didn't know what to do. I could only pray. I prayed for help. I prayed for grace. I know that my mother named me Grace for a reason. I think it was to remind me that He always gives grace when we need it."
Grace turned and we watched little Eunice toddle towards us, smiling with her big bottom teeth visible in her grin.
"I am so thankful for grace."
What about you? Have you been reminded of God's grace today? Have you looked for His grace? Sometimes we need to stand very still and pray for it, but inevitably, grace will come.
Eph 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Applied Arts Workshop: Papermaking October 25, 2009Posted by claralieu in Applied Arts, book arts.
Tags: paper, papermaking
We had a great turnout for the free Applied Arts Workshop in Papermaking this afternoon. Book Arts Program Director Katherine McCanless Ruffin led the workshop in the newly renovated Papermaking Studio, instructing papermaking techniques and processes.
Katherine McCanless Ruffin explains and demonstrates the process.
Papermaking is apparently very wet and messy; workshop participants were instructed in advance to wear rain boots, while plastic aprons were handed out at the workshop. Papermaking is divided up into 4 essential steps: 1) fiber preparation, 2) sheet forming, 3)couching/pressing and 4) drying. Participants were able to do everything from running their hands through giant plastic bins of paper pulp to pressing their paper onto dampened felts to couch and press the paper.
One of my favorite anecdotes from the workshop was the papermaking phrase "kissing off". When you form the sheet with the wet pulp, if the sheet is uneven and you need to redo the sheet, you "kiss off" the wet pulp back into the bin of pulp. It's amazing how quickly and evenly the sheet would fall right back into the bin.

My reaction after eating one bite of today's showstopping recipe: "Damn, Daphna!" My cooking co-conspirator knows what to do with a stick of butter. That's for damn sure.
My good friend and fellow foodie, Ms. Daphna, is a frequent contributor to the comments section of Life, Love, and Food. I thought it high time she gave us a recipe (or two—she's an overachiever). Lucky for us, she obliged. And in the spirit of keeping love at the center of everything around here, she spins a little tale of romance around two of her most belly-pleasing recipes, Roasted Vegetable Lasagna and her signature Garlic Bread. Since it's a bit warm around Chicago these days, I haven't tried Daphna's Roasted Vegetable Lasagna yet, but her skills in the kitchen are impeccable. I trust that you and I, dear reader, are in good hands when lasagna-weather rolls around again. (Which in Chicago might be, um, tomorrow. The seasons are fickle and disobedient around here.)
The Garlic Bread, however, is unbelievably delicious. Daphna may sound like she's exaggerating in her description of it, but she's really not. When she made her bread for the two of us and her husband, we three polished off the whole batch. No sweat. And we would have eaten more had there been more to eat. Damn, Daphna! No wonder she's married and I'm not. [Note to self: Keep extra butter and garlic on hand for romance emergencies. Use as needed.]
Single, married, or somewhere in between, Daphna's recipes will increase your domestic bliss. Thank you for sharing them with us, D, and thanks for being my friend. You are great.

Daphna writes:
Veggie lasagna, you hold a special place in my heart. (And meat lasagna, you're not bad either). You're delicious and comforting, yet also versatile, dependable, and wholesome. Effortlessly frozen and reheated and at home on paper plates or fine china, you're the boyfriend who gives you sexy smooches during dessert and then cleans up your kitchen. On the eve of my first wedding anniversary—literally, it's tomorrow—I must give a celebratory nod to everything that is both good for you and. . . just plain good.
I've tried many permutations of veggie lasagna using different types of vegetables and homemade sauces, and this is one of my favorites. Lately I've been using jarred sauces (Classico or Newman's Own are great); however a homemade marinara sauce would also be delicious.
But the real star of the show is the garlic bread, which we tend to reserve for company. This recipe is crazy good, and I mean full-on, lock-down psych ward crazy (sorry, said husband is currently doing a psychiatry rotation). Oddly, cheap French baguettes from the regular grocery store tend to yield better results than expensive artisan loaves. After making the spread, I use two baking steps—first a lower temperature to melt the butter and crisp the bread and then a higher temperature to turn the bread a scrumptious, caramelized golden brown. My usage of this technique, as well as salted butter, is gleaned from The Pioneer Woman's recommendations in her Buttery Thyme Bread recipe.
Roasted Vegetable Lasagna
Adapted from allrecipes.com
For roasting:
1 small to medium eggplant, peeled and sliced into quarter-inch rounds
2 medium zucchini, cut horizontally into quarter-inch slices
1 large red pepper, cut into strips
8 ounces of mushrooms, sliced thickly
Olive oil (I used Boyajian's Garlic Oil, which was a Thanksgiving gift from Rose-Anne)
Garlic powder
For layering:
15-ounce container of part-skim or fat-free ricotta cheese
½ cup Parmesan cheese (the shredded type, not the little granules in the shakeable container)
Several handfuls of fresh spinach leaves
2 egg whites
26-ounce jar of your favorite marinara sauce
12 whole-wheat (or regular) lasagna noodles
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3 tbsp. or more of fresh basil, chiffonaded
For the roasting step:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice vegetables, and then place them on pans that have been covered with aluminum oil and sprayed with cooking spray, making sure that they are in a single layer. Brush the vegetables with several tablespoons of oil and sprinkle with salt and garlic powder to taste. Place in oven and roast them for 30 min.
To assemble the lasagna:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg whites. Spread about 1/4 cup marinara sauce onto the bottom of a 3-quart baking dish. Layer with four lasagna noodles, half of the ricotta cheese mixture, half of the vegetables, one third of the marinara sauce, and one third of the mozzarella cheese. Top with handfuls of spinach leaves and basil. Repeat layers , topping with the remaining noodles and marinara sauce. Don't forget to save sufficient sauce for the top of the lasagna. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 min. and then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
Daphna's Garlic Bread
One large loaf of grocery-store French bread (we get the packages that have two smaller loaves and use three halves)
1 stick (1/2 cup) of salted butter at room temperature
6 medium to large garlic cloves, very finely minced or pressed with a garlic press (the latter option makes this task a little easier)
1 tsp. dried parsley
¼ tsp. dried oregano
¼ tsp. dried thyme
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the butter, garlic, and herbs. Slice the garlic bread lengthwise into long half-pieces. Spread the butter mixture thickly on the bread and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching the bread closely to prevent burning. Enjoy!

Invisalign has become a massively popular orthodontic option for teens and adults throughout American who want to have their teeth straightened. It works by using a similar principle to traditional braces, but it accomplishes the same results without unsightly or uncomfortable wires and brackets. Instead, Invisalign in Spring, TX uses a set of trays that are made from transparent plastic. Using the latest computer imaging technology, your dentist, Dr. Clifton Baldwin, will create a series of custom-made aligners that will gradually move your teeth over time. You can have the smile that you have always wanted with a virtually undetectable solution.
After performing an initial consultation to ensure that you are a candidate, Dr. Baldwin will take digital impressions of your mouth. This allows him to map the movement of your teeth, which is then transferred to a series of custom-made aligners.
You wear each aligner in the series for 1 to 2 weeks for at least 22 hours per day. As you progress throughout each one, your teeth are gradually moved into their ideal positions. In about 1 year, you will have finished the series, leaving you with a straight, healthy smile.
Traditional braces attach wires and brackets to your teeth to gradually pull them into position. While they are effective, they are highly noticeable and uncomfortable. To resolve the issue, they can be attached to the back surfaces of your teeth or tooth-colored brackets and wires can be used. Although this makes them less noticeable, there are still restrictions and a lengthy treatment time.
Invisalign resolves the common disadvantages of traditional options. With the clear aligners, your treatment will be virtually undetectable. You will enjoy:
Now, Invisalign can be used to correct more bite and alignment issues than ever before. It can be used to close gaps, move rotated or tilted teeth, and correct certain bite issues. When used on the ideal candidate, Invisalign provides the same high-quality benefits and results as traditional braces. While it is effective, there are certain limitations to its use. Dr. Baldwin will determine if they are the right solution for you.
If you want a straight smile, you do not have to use metal braces. Now, there is a better way. You can enjoy a nearly invisible solution with Dream Smile Team. Contact us today to see if Invisalign is right for you.


text: We report on time-domain stability of the parametric synchronization in a spin-torque nano-oscillator (STNO) based on a magnetic tunnel junction. Time-domain measurements of the instantaneous frequency (f(i)) of a parametrically synchronized STNO showrandom short-term unlocking of the STNO signal for low injected radio-frequency (RF) power, which cannot be revealed in time-averaged frequency domain measurements. Macrospin simulations reproduce the experimental results and reveal that the random unlocking during synchronization is driven by thermal fluctuations. We show that by using a high injected RF power, random unlocking of the STNO can be avoided. However, a perfect synchronization characterized by complete suppression of phase noise, so-called phase noise squeezing, can be obtained only at a significantly higher RF power. Our macrospin simulations suggest that a lower temperature and a higher positive ratio of the fieldlike torque to the spin transfer torque reduce the threshold RF power required for phase noise squeezing under parametric synchronization.

SCP-XXXX is a name given to a collection of trees that have their bark warped in such a way that they appear to have 'eyes'. Their appears to be a mimetic effect where anyone who sees the trees on the 'eye' side will believe the tree is watching them trough the 'eye'. It has also been noted the subjects believe the 'eyes' will follow them when not observed. This sense of being watched is not without reason however as they are watching you. They broadcast their live feed as recorded by the 'eye' on the signals of frequencies [REDACTED] which have been found through foundation research.
Containment is a simple matter as the trees can be found by utilizing the signals to find the trees in the wild. They can be housed in different low level security areas, i.e. greenhouses, gardens, and local parks of SCP Foundation Locations as a means of cheap communication between different sites for low level messages as the signals are unprotected.
Idea I had because… it is watching me. Figured I'd post, get a reaction or two, see what people think about my first SCP. Also opinions as to protecting the signal via various means is appreciated.

Embattled AC Milan coach Cristian Brocchi has made it clear that devising strategies to overcome Juventus in the Coppa Italia final will only get his side so far.
Reports from the Rossineri dressing room following the 3-1 home loss to Roma suggest that Brocchi is laying much of the blame for his side's poor performances at the feet of his players. Now the 40-year-old has reapeated this notion in a recent interview with Gazzetta dello Sport.
"We've been studying Juve tactically since I arrived," he said.
"It's very nice to think I could affect the game, studying the very few weaknesses, seeing where to strike. But it's fundamental that every player has venom inside themselves.
"I don't accept the idea that those who haven't won anything don't have venom. The disappointment of the Roma game was in realising that the team wasn't ready for the final. Now I have clear ideas about who can't offer me anything," he added.
"I don't want to give excuses to the team. So if we were to play the final like we did last Saturday, I would run far away. Sometimes you must be tough with people, and Sunday was one of those times," he said, referring to his backroom outburst where he allegedly accused his team of having "no dignity" and "no balls".
"The players have had a different approach in the last few days even in the way they look, as if they're preparing for an important match inside themselves.
"A Coppa win wouldn't change the season, otherwise we run the risk of fooling ourselves. The season will remain negative."
Milan ended seventh in the Serie A this season, meaning that winning the prestigious trophy is the only way the club can qualify for European football next season.

FREE LEAFLET on Papular Dermatitis: download (.PDF 360Kb)
Papular dermatitis (PD) is a term for a rash of small raised red spots occasionally detected in live pigs, but these skin lesions are most often noticed when pig carcases are inspected at the abattoir - they become more obvious after going through the scalding tank. Often they are caused by a hypersensitivity reaction (similar to an allergy) to Sarcoptic mange mites (Sarcoptes scabei).

Production Diseases in Farm Animals
Includes CD of Proceedings of International Conference on Production Diseases in Farm AnimalsHigh producing farm animals are permanently challenged by a variety of factors: lack of proper nutrition (deficit/surplus), housing systems, infections and stress. The incidence, course and outcome of production diseases are changing continuously. Therefore, new information on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of production diseases is needed.
Infection and infectious diseases associated with livestock production Effects of dietary ß-glucans on nonspecific & specific immunity in weaners Effect of dietary ß-glucans on oxidative & antioxidative status & growth performance Influence of organic nutrition & housing on immune system & metabolism of finishing pigs Cow's colostrum feed additive in weaning diet improves gut health of piglets Postweaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS) in growing swine Alternatives to growth-promoting antibiotics & antibiotic feed additives Immune system activation increases tryptophan requirement of post-weaning pigs
These problems are complicated by the discussion of animal welfare, the rapid changes in agricultural production and the economics of production. The following key topics are handled: alternatives to growth-promoting antibiotics; chronic inflammation and animal production; animal behaviour and welfare in intensive production systems; epidemiology of production diseases; new techniques in immunoprophylaxis; nutrition-immunology and production-immunology relationships; phosphorus nutrition - animal health and environmental concerns; application of genomics to production disease; role of specific fatty acids in animal health, reproduction, and performance; trace mineral nutrition and metabolism

B & B The Gouverneur is located in 2 nationally listed buildings located on the Vaart Zuid Zijde, numbers 25 and 29.
No. 25
In 1800 this house with in-house coach house was inhabited by Petrus Hofstede, the first governor of Drenthe.
In his function as governor he was typified as an authoritarian director, who however managed to bring Assen to cultural prosperity.
Well known were the glorious celebrations and dinners he gave.
Hofstede married Susanna Christina Kymmell on 5 March 1782. They had 10 children.
Hofstede and his wife are buried at the Noorderbegraafplaats in Assen, 750 meters away from his house!
The Gouverneur Hofstede ensured that Louis Napoleon, the king of the Netherlands and the brother of the great Napoleon, visited Assen and granted Assen on 13 March 1809 city rights, although Assen actually had too few inhabitants.
He also donated the meanest Asserbos, also known as the star forest.
The current appearance of the house at no. 25 is the result of a rebuilt around 1875 in an eclectic style.
The house is strongly related to the buildings 25a, 27 and 29 as well as the numbers 42 2n 46 on the other side, Vaart Noordzijde.
No. 29
This broad house actually consists of two buildings that were merged around 1875 and then received the current, common facade.
In 1930, the room layout was changed during an interior renovation and the building was divided into two dwellings.
The façade, built in eclectic style, belongs to the type that is characteristic of the buildings on the Vaart.
The buildings belong to the many nineteenth and early twentieth century houses for the well-to-do citizen on the Vaart, which testify to the increasing prosperity of many Assen residents as a result of the explosive growth of Assen in that period.
The house on NR 25 has been completely restored after years of decay in 2012 and has been lovingly transformed into a house and Boutique Hotel.
The house on NR 29 got a new destination from 2017 and in 6 months time was transformed into a house and Boutique Hotel.

CABINET Secretary Karlo Nograles hailed as "a historic piece of legislation" the measure creating the PhP100 billion coco levy trust fund after the Senate and House of Representatives agreed on a unified version of their respective bills, noting that "the decades-long fight of coconut farmers to directly benefit from their toil and hard work is nearing positive completion."
The bill, known as the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Act, was among the priority bills pushed by President Rodrigo Duterte. The coco levy fund traces its origins to taxes imposed on coconut farmers' products in the Seventies during the time of former President Ferdinand Marcos. It is now estimated to have grown to around more than PhP100 billion.
"The fund's history is strewn with misuse, abuse and mismanagement. Generations of Filipino coconut farmers and their families have suffered greatly because of it. Congress is now rectifying the mistakes of the past. We're putting into place a comprehensive mechanism that manages the fund and allocates resources to further develop the coconut industry," Nograles said.
The Cabinet Secretary explained that under the measure, a reconstituted and strengthened Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA) shall handle the fund which consists of 76 billion pesos in Treasury and escrow accounts and an estimated 30 billion pesos in assets.
"These shall be used to improve the plight of coconut farmers and to push our coconut industry further forward. The unified Senate and House bills provide for the release of PhP5 billion annually to the PCA on top of the 10 billion pesos provided by the General Appropriations Act."
Allocations are assured, Nograles noted, for the following programs: shared facilities, scholarships, empowerment of coconut farmer organizations and cooperatives, farm improvement to encourage self-sufficiency and health and medical benefits. The Cabinet Secretary clarified that a related bill reconstituting the PCA gives farmers greater representation in the government body, giving farmers six seats in the 11-member PCA board.
"More than the value of the funds, the significance of the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Act is the correction of previous wrongs related to the coco levy fund's use and management. The President was all along determined to see this measure through, and we're grateful that Congress shared the same sense of urgency and historical duty to finally address the matter of the coco levy fund," Nograles further stated.
Nograles, who assumed the Cabinet Secretary post last November 5 and was former Chair of the Committee on Appropriations at the lower house, was specifically directed by the President to work on the passage of the piece of legislation. The former Davao Congressman had pushed for the crafting and implementation of a Coconut Industry Road Map in coordination with the Department of Agriculture.

Welcome to UCU! Our house is located on the corner of 16th and 47th. It is an amazing house of eighteen intelligent, resourceful, and fun-loving young women.
Since I've moved in, I have developed such a strong support group through these amazing women who are always willing to lift each other up in Christ. Living here constantly encourages my personal walk with The Lord as I've really grown in my faith over the months I've lived here.
You will become a part of a community of 40+ Christian young men and women when you move in to UCU. It's a wonderful community where we encourage and challenge each other in our faith through Monday Night Bible Study, various small groups, and wonderful conversations. We also enjoy having a fun movie night, an outing, or pulling house pranks.
On any given day, you can find members of both houses doing homework or studying together, practicing music, watching movies in the basements, or chatting with either of our two cooks in the kitchen. The officers of UCU also organize several weekend social events throughout the year like movie nights, the Christmas party, girls' nights, and men's and women's socials.
Our daily reminders to live for Christ build a strong foundation for a loving God-centered community at the University of Washington. We are also involved in the larger UW community through participation in intramural sports, campus clubs, Husky games, on/off-campus jobs, outreach projects, and a host of other school-related activities.
While extracurricular activities are abundant, academics remain a top priority for our house. Every quarter, we strive to maintain a high overall GPA, which often makes for a friendly competition between the Men's and Women's houses! Additionally, because many residents take similar class prerequisites, help is readily available. Guidance through different classes often helps to relieve the stresses students experience through the rigorous UW courses. UCUers are genuinely happy to help each other with homework or other projects and are a great resource!
Making the choice to live at UCU has easily been one of the best decisions I've ever made. It is my hope that the members of UCU are challenged to live out their faith as they start a new chapter of their life, go on crazy adventures with each other, and form life-long friendships. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to lead this group of women and I look forward to seeing how God works in and through our house!
In Christ,
Danyel Bigger
Women's House President 2019-20

First Line: 'Leaves, mud and grass deaden sound. Even screams. The girl knows this.'
Blurb: She can't stop shivering. But this isn't cold. This is terror.
A savage murder on London's streets, 120 years to the day since Jack the Ripper claimed his first victim. A crime with all the hallmarks of a copycat killer.
Detective Constable Lacey Flint has never worked a murder case, until now. When another mutilated victim is found she agrees to be the bait to lure out the monster.
But this killer is one step ahead, and already fixated on Lacey . . .
This is the first in the Lacey Flint series and introduces the character of DC Lacey Flint tackling her first murder case. One evening when Lacey finds a woman propped against her car bleeding to death, she is launched head-first into an investigation where a killer is reenacting the canonical five Jack the Ripper murders; something which Lacey is something of an expert in. As the body count rises and the killer seems to be one step ahead at every turn, Lacey realises the killer has set its sights on her…
This novel starts off with a bang and refused to let up which gripped me from the very start. The story is set across North London which the author brings to life through her vivid descriptions and Lacey's point of view of the world.
One of the things I loved about this novel is Lacey who is a complex character with many hidden layers which are slowly revealed as the novel progresses. All I will say is that Lacey is not your typical police officer with a shady past and is hiding a killer secret, a secret which the killer also knows!
The chemistry between DC Lacey Flint and DS Mark Joesbury was also another highlight for me as they seemed to detest one another but as the novel progresses it was interesting to see how their relationship twisted and changed and grew in intensity as do the murders.
The author, Sharon Bolton, manages to weave Victorian history with the victims and the murders of Jack the Ripper into its narrative but still keeping it fresh and contemporary with the majority of the story set in the present making it a very compelling read.
For me it was one of those thrilling reads which kept you hooked, guessing who the killer was, what secrets were lurking beneath the surface – and when you think nothing else could possibly happen it does.
This book is not for the feint-hearted but the plot twists and complex but interesting characters make this a must read.
This is a disturbing yet thrilling read which will keep you guessing until the very end and I can't wait to read the next in the series.

What is a 401(k) plan?
A 401(k) plan is a type of defined contribution, savings/investment account that is set up and sponsored by companies to give their employees the ability to set aside money that can be invested for their retirement. Any contributions added to the account will come from the employees (before tax) salary and in many cases the employer will match that amount, up to a certain percentage. Once added to the account, the employee can invest the funds based on their risk/return requirements. Much like a traditional IRA, the main advantage of a 401k plan is that all of the funds and earnings will not be taxed until the account holder starts taking distribution, at which point the money will be taxed as regular income.
401(k) Contribution Limits
Each year the IRS sets the maximum that can be added to a 401(k) plan. In 2010 and 2011, the maximum contribution is $16,500 for individuals under 49. For individuals over 50, the IRS has set up a way for them to catch-up by allowing them to contribute a maximum of $22,000.
401(k) Advantages
A 401(k) plan offers a number of advantages to the participant including:
401(k) Disadvantages
Although, in most cases, the advantages of a 401k outweigh the drawbacks, there are a few disadvantages worth noting. The main disadvantage of a 401(k) plan is liquidity as well as:
