Israeli foreign minister Shimon Peres offered assurances that Israel has no intention of remaining in areas of the West Bank under the control of the Palestinian Authority.
Peres, in the US for talks with Secretary of State Colin Powell and other Bush administration officials, said yesterday that 'our interest is to help the Palestinian people gain their independence'.
But Mr Peres mixed his usual dovish stance with a call on Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to arrest the members of a militant Palestinian group responsible for assassinating an Israeli cabinet minister and hand them over to Israel for prosecution.
Mr Peres said Mr Arafat could never achieve his destiny if he did not act against terrorists. 'You cannot fight terror just with words,' Mr Peres said in a speech last night to a national meeting of the American Jewish Congress.
He said Mr Arafat was capable of controlling the terrorists, but was reluctant to act.
'It is not enough to say the right things,' Peres said.
Earlier, Mr Powell said Israel had notified the United States it would withdraw from its recent incursions deep into the West Bank, a commitment Mr Powell said was necessary for the prospect of a cease-fire with the Palestinians.
Mr Powell, attending an Asian-Pacific economic summit in China, said he spoke earlier with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
'Hopefully the Israelis will be able to leave the territory that they have occupied recently,' Mr Powell said on CNN's Late Edition.
Mr Sharon 'said he did not plan to stay in those areas. And I hope they will finish what they're doing, remove themselves as quickly as they can so that we can get back to a process that hopefully will lead to a cease-fire,' Mr Powell said.
Yesterday, Mr Peres told UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in New York that Israel does not intend to stay in the areas it entered, a spokesman for Israel's UN mission said.
An aide to Mr Arafat said the Palestinian leader told Mr Powell yesterday that Washington must pressure Israel to withdraw.
'This issue will be a test (of) the willingness of the US to keep its coalition, or to sacrifice the Arabs and Muslims to satisfy' Israel, said Arafat aide Nabil Abu Rdeneh.
He was referring to US concerns that Israeli-Palestinian fighting could hinder efforts to maintain the support of moderate Arab nations for US operations against Afghanistan's Taliban government and terrorist suspect Osama bin Laden.
In the region, Israeli tanks moved deeper into West Bank in the widest operation against the Palestinians in years.
Four Palestinians were killed yesterday, and the Palestinian Health Ministry said a teenage boy wounded in fighting last month died of his wounds.
The assault is in retaliation for the assassination of an Israeli cabinet minister by a radical PLO faction.
'The United States position over a long period of time has been to point out that targeted assassinations of the kind that we have seen there is not in the best interest of trying to find a way to move forward with the peace process,' Mr Powell said.
The assassination on Wednesday of Israeli tourism minister Rehavam Zeevi 'got things all off course again. So I'm hoping we can bring the violence down.'

An interview with Lou Reed about Berlin
Talking to Lou Reed is like trying to communicate with a doorstop. The kind of thing you inevitably stub your toe on. Reed is, of course, notoriously difficult: testy, abrupt, contemptuous of journalists and prone, at best, to dead weight answers that refuse anything akin to conversation. Management demand to see all likely questions before the interview, 'control' is the dominant theme once we are actually talking. With a new stage production of his 1973 record Berlin due at St Ann's Warehouse in New York (December 14-17) and the Sydney Festival in Australia (January 18-20), it was all the more pleasurable to be warned by Reed's personal assistant just prior to our phone chat that it would be wise to avoid questions about his past. A little difficult, I tried to explain, when we're supposed to discussing a show based on a 33-year-old recording. The PA sighed as if to tell me 'don't say I didn't warn you'. As for Reed, he would convey a lot by his tone of voice too. Just before we began there was some noise in the background, then the PA said in a rising cry usually reserved for freak waves about to hit a boat, "Here heeeee comes!"
I wanted to ask the obvious question - why return to Berlin now?
'You know, it's the one question I get asked. Susan Feldman, who runs St Ann's Warehouse [an arts space in New York] - John Cale and I did Songs for Drella there - always wanted me to do this. I just said, "Yes. Why not? It might be fun."'
When Berlin came out it in 1973 it got a lot of antagonism for being 'the saddest record ever made', for being an ugly record, so I wondered if you if you wanted-
'You mean from critics? Why would I pay attention to that?'
Returning to Berlin now, I thought there may have been a desire, somehow, to be more emphatic about the beautiful side of it in terms of the music and-
'Well it's [the beauty] always been there. I can't control what critics say. And I have no interest in it either.'
What about the team around Berlin this time? The influence of people like Julian Schnabel (direction and stage design) and Jennifer Tipton (lighting)? Is there anything-
'Bob Ezrin, the original producer [of the record Berlin], is arranging, and Steve Hunter, the original guitar player is playing. Steve Bernstein has put together the band. I just worked with Steve on a tour where we all did Leonard Cohen songs in Dublin – that was interesting, by the way. And Hal Willner, who I've worked with forever - he did The Raven and Ecstasy with me - he's involved as a music director, him and Ezrin and Steve [Bernstein]. Julian [Schnabel] is doing the sets and directing, and his daughter is doing visuals…'
I'm just interested if you can see any shift in the flavour of what you're doing because of that team now compared to the original team on the record?
'It's a similar team. Bob produced and arranged it, Steve [Hunter] played on it.'
How about something like the way Andy Warhol suggested you follow Albert Speers way of lighting Hitler-
'What, what, what, what, what?'
I read when you first toured in the wake of Berlin, Warhol advised you to use Albert Speers lighting techniques – the way Speers lit Hitler – extreme black and white contrasts, extreme spotlighting on you, etcetera. I wondered whether that might have affect what Jennifer Tipton might do?
'Err, wow! That's an amazing statement. Who knows if that's true? But it's certainly not being told to Jennifer Tipton. She's really accomplished person with the Wooster Group.'
Okay, so you never heard that comment before about the Speers lighting?
'Well I may have, but I certainly haven't remembered it. You don't find it funny that you're asking me, thirty years after the fact - just because you read it somewhere - whether I remember if Andy Warhol said that I should use the same lighting as Albert Speers did? You don't find that strange?'
No. I don't find it unusual you don't remember.
'You do. And that's what you came up with to ask me about. That's very funny.'
It's good to keep you amused. But I was more interested in what Jennifer Tipton and Julian Schnabel might be doing now, beyond the fact they're simply doing it.
'Well, you'd have to ask them.'
So you're basically not taking an interest in the staging and lighting?
'(Pause) I pick people that I really love. Like on the records I make, I pick musicians that I like, and I don't try to change them. I don't get someone to do something they can't do - it's that I like what they do in the first place. I went over a bunch of the sets with Julian, and they're pretty amazing – actually, it's staggering.'
Are you able to describe it at all or-
'No. But we're going to film it.'
What about your musical team? I know you said it was pretty much the same-
'We're following the original arrangements. I loved them then, and I love them now. I thought Bob [Ezrin] did an amazing job.'
Why does thematic story-telling interest you so much? Obviously you've had Songs for Drella and more recently The Raven and-
'I'm interested in writing. Writing married to rock. I'm pretty simple. No big mystery in me. Truly.'
I ask because-
'I mean it's like saying "Gee, A Streetcar Named Desire is a very depressing play" or "Wow! Hamlet is a depressing play." Yeah?... You know, [rock 'n' roll] recordings are thought of at such a low level. Like "Wow! What's that doing on a record?" It's really odd.'
You referred to Hamlet in relation to Berlin when it first came out, and you just mentioned it again then. Why does that link attract you so much? You also used the phrase 'Hamlet of electricity' back in 1973 as something you wanted to aspire to.
'I just mentioned it because people think Berlin is depressing just as Hamlet is depressing. I'll ask you, is Hamlet depressing?'
No, Hamlet is probably my favourite Shakespeare play.
'But everybody dies at the end. What do you think?'
Well one of the things that always interested me about Hamlet was the question of whether he's neutered and procrastinating, or if he's driving everything [towards tragedy]. I tend to think he's driving everything.
'My teacher [the famed American poet and short story writer] Delmore Schwartz said, "One way to think about Hamlet is that he's drunk."'
That's interesting-
'He was joking.'
Well I make a bridge back to Berlin because of the self-destructive themes that have characterised your music. Why that interests you so much, and what you were trying to explore in Berlin - then and now?
'First of all, I don't think what you said is true. You're just picking isolated things, for whatever reason. It's a real potpourri that I do. Song for song, note for note, idea for idea, attitude for attitude, I like to think I have a broader palette than what you said.'
I don't think I was saying it was the only thing you do, but it's definitely a theme – sadism, annihilation, loss. Archetypal stuff really – but, focusing on Berlin-
'What about love?'
Love too, yeah. Love is very strong in your work.
'Love, friendship, survival, transcendence, spirituality – what about all of that?'
Yeah true. But what about in terms of the things you were trying to develop with Berlin in particular? Like this talk of wanting to bring Hamlet to music-
'It's called 'writing'. And the object is to make a reality with lyrics and music that someone can respond to and relate to. I wanted to tell a story. And I put it in Berlin because it was a divided city and I thought it was a great metaphor.'
That's interesting because obviously you've been associated with New-
'I hadn't been to Berlin [back then], you know.'
It definitely seems like a state of mind on the record.
'Yeah, well, 'the Wall'. Of course the Wall is not there now.'
I thought the whole divided city theme wasn't just a way of looking at a relationship - but clearly, because you're the writer, it was also a matter of looking at yourself.
'I don't know. Writing is writing. I never understood it, so if you do, you're ahead of me.'
Listening to Berlin, I felt you were exploring issues to do-
'With everybody.'
With everybody, yes, and you can't avoid yourself in these things, I mean-
'Everybody and everything is writing.'
Okay Mr Reed, thank you.
'You're welcome.'
- Interview by Mark Mordue
BERLIN notes
When Berlin first appeared in 1973 it was criticised for its depressing subject matter and described as "the saddest record ever made". After the glam rock success of 1972's Transformer and its hit song 'Walk on the Wild Side', Reed had hoped to make Berlin his masterpiece. Critical antagonism along with a mediocre commercial response all but buried the record and his mainstream career. No wonder. Berlin told the love story of two drug addicts in Berlin, using the theme of a city then divided by the Wall to explore themes of addiction, domestic violence, suicide and the destruction of family ('They're taking her children away"). Reed played the dark chanteuse - almost talking us through his vignettes at times – in a recording that seemed as close to Cabaret as rock 'n' roll. Berlin has since grown in stature to the point where it is now regarded as one of his finest recordings. It was originally produced by Bob Ezrin, then the whiz kid behind Alice Cooper's School's Out and Billion Dollar Babies and much later Pink Floyd's The Wall. Reed's new stage production of Berlin brought Ezrin back to the fold as a music director, along with Hal Willner, best known for the Leonard Cohen tribute Came So Far For Beauty. It also utilised the talents of Julian Schnabel, the film director behind Basquiat and a famous painter in his own right, who worked on stage design and overall direction; and Jennifer Tipton, renowned for her lighting work with the experimental theatre company The Wooster Group. It was, in every way, a raging and incandescent success. Julian Schnabel has since turned the series of concerts that took place for Berlin at St Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn into a documentary, Lou Reed's Berlin. M.M.

Sales funnels are very important and, as a concept, are something all business owners should understand. Unfortunately, most business owners not only fail to understand sales funnels, they also fail to apply them to their business.
When sales funnels aren't properly understood or set up, entrepreneurs end up burnt-out and with an income that is not reflective of their hours worked.
Over the next few paragraphs, we'll explore the art of the sales funnel, and share three keys you can use to get them started.
What are Sales Funnels?
The word funnel is used as a metaphor where the top (the wide side) represents the entry of prospects in your target market into the sales pipeline. As these prospects work their way down through the funnel, the un- or under-qualified prospects fall off, leaving your business will a neat little pile of prospects ready to buy and (hopefully) become loyal clients.
When I got started in the wondrous world of online automation, I would set up these amazing automated processes that had nothing to do with the most important element of a new business:
The development of a sales funnel
As an entrepreneur, you might have the best product or service or processes in the world but if your sales funnel isn't tuned and ready to roll no one is going to buy your services or products.
A good sales funnel is the KEY to consistency and positivity in your cash flow. It is the only way to filter out unqualified prospects that are unlikely to buy and highly likely to waste your time.
Why Sales Funnels are important?
You have a fantastic business, your baby that you created and you love. You work day in and day out on your business, even to the point of ignoring holidays and weekends.You have thousands of likes on Facebook, but few of those likes have turned into sales.
Your bank account does not reflect the work you put in. You've tried to find resolutions online only to end up with few answers and even more questions.
A good sales funnel allows you to take all those activities and interactions (likes, retweets, shares, etc.) and channel them in a way that's designed to drive conversions above anything else. It will give you the capacity to start forecasting the returns on marketing and advertising campaigns, helping you identify what's working and what's not.
Ultimately, your sales funnel is going to allow you to start driving the returns your efforts deserve.
Sales Funnels Tip #1 – Tune up your website
Just imagine for a second that your ideal customer walks into your office looking for a solution you can provide, BUT…they leave because nobody greets them as they enter to enquire about their needs or wants.
Sure, they could browse around and find something to buy themselves, but it's far from a guarantee.
A website is no different from a brick and mortar storefront:
An unfriendly atmosphere will drive away potential clients
Your website is the door to the sales funnel.
Every social media or marketing effort you run should be directed to the website, your 24/7 online office.
Websites should be crafted to not only attract visitors but keep them there once they arrive. Offer them a free report, white paper, video series, or product discount on your website in exchange for a newsletter or email list sign-up.
Entice visitors to hang out on your website and they gather their information for further lead qualification.
Sales Funnels Tip #2 – Have a follow up system in place
Once you've facilitated list sign-ups, you need to start strategically marketing to your prospects and turning them into consistent customers.
Start building relationships with your new list members and increase the likelihood of conversions down the road.
Make an effort to stay in contact with them!
Give these prospects everything you promised them when they opted in. It may seem obvious, but many entrepreneurs (and their website) fail to deliver on their promises.
After the initial email, send helpful articles with some regularity (maybe once a month) with news on current events, exclusive content, special offers, and any other valuable content that will help them understand what you do and how you can help them solve their problems.
Sales Funnels Tip #3 – Measure conversions
It's finally time to start measuring your funnel to see what works and what doesn't.
Measuring is about achieving successful outcomes. It doesn't have to be difficult and there are plenty of tools out there to help you draw intelligent conclusions.
However, no measuring stick is as important as YOU and YOUR judgement, because YOU know what success looks like.
Define your goals and look at the numbers to see what you're getting back from your effort. .
Measurements allow you understand how effective your sales funnel is and what changes need to be made to increase the ROI.
If you think you'd benefit by having your sales funnel examined by professional marketer, start by clicking here to see first hand how this process works.

The bedroom furniture project is complete (except for the two long bed rails that will convert the crib to a full size bed .. but no rush for these). Nice little top cabinet that dresses up the dresser (in my opinion) and will give the grand daughter lots of room for the 'girly' stuff. This will replace the changing table that is currently sitting where the top cabinet is in these pics. For now, the top cabinet is on a dresser in another room waiting for her to rid the diaper routine.
Wood: Jatoba and Walnut, MDF box/dividers, plywood back
Construction: finger joints, biscuits, inlays, laminates, dados
Finish: Danish Oil, 3 coats; General Finishes High Performance poly, 3 to 5 coats

When you walk from Keckwick Lane towards the Ring O' Bells in Daresbury, the pathway drops away as if a crossing is supposed to be there, linked to the other side of the road, but there is no path on the opposite side.

Smile Makeovers
We've all watched makeover shows, whether it's a clothing makeover for a fashion-clueless individual or it's a total home makeover, resulting in a before-and-after flip of a dilapidated house. But did you know that your teeth and smile could also experience the joy of a complete makeover? Dental makeovers are a fantastic option for people who are looking to rejuvenate their appearance by improving their teeth, whether they seek out whitening or straightening. We here at Rowan Family Dentistry completely understand the urge to boost your confidence by improving the appearance of your teeth and are happy to work with you to help you makeover your smile.
How Can a Smile Makeover Improve My Appearance?
If your smile is dull and lacking, then you may be a good candidate for a smile makeover. A smile makeover improves the appearance of your smile, no matter what your primary complaint is. For instance, whether your teeth are stained or you're missing an actual front tooth, you could benefit from a little bit of a cosmetic pick-me-up for your teeth.
Some of the more popular choices that our patients choose here are teeth whitening, veneers, dental implants, and bonding. Each come with their own advantages, and all can greatly improve the appearance of your smile! Depending on the severity of the damage to your teeth, and what you're most self-conscious about, you can choose from a buffet of ways to make your smile appear more attractive.
Bonding is a popular choice because it can usually be completed in just one day. It is a painless procedure, and not only can it reduce the appearance of stains, it can also help close the gaps between your teeth and conceal chips. It involves using tooth-colored composite resin painted directly over the affected teeth and is a fast and appealing choice for many patients.
Whitening is also a good way to get a little smile makeover. These are also fairly quick and painless, though some people may notice a small bit of sensitivity after the procedure. However, in less than an hour, your smile can be free of stains and discoloration, giving you renewed confidence!
Veneers are similar to bonding, but instead of using a painted resin, it instead uses a sheet of resin that is adhered to your tooth. This can help repair uneven teeth and conceal stains and chips. Unlike bonding, though, veneers can take multiple appointments (usually two) over the course of two weeks to a month.
Dental implants are an excellent choice for people who are missing teeth in a visible location, such as their front teeth. Missing teeth aren't just a cosmetic problem; they can lead to further tooth loss and pain. These do take time to complete, so for people who need quicker results, they may want to consider bridges or a partial denture.
Regardless of your own insecurities about your smile, you deserve to feel good about yourself and not be ashamed of giving your biggest and best smile to your friends, family, and peers. If you're struggling with cosmetic defects in your smile, or you want more information about a smile makeover, please give us a call here at Rowan Family Dentistry at (662) 598-0155 today with your questions or to schedule an appointment consultation for a smile makeover.
What our patients are saying about us
"I didn't think you could feel peaceful in a dentist office - somehow Rowan has managed to fix that. All the latest equipment (way less noise), comfortable atmosphere, everyone there smiles and talks to you, and they simply do a great job of informing you what's needed. I Highly recommend Rowan Family Dentistry!!" ~Shane S.
"My family loves Rowan Family Dentistry! They have always taken such great care of us over the years, from routine cleanings to braces on my whole family! We wouldn't go anywhere else!" ~Jessica H.

"X-Men: First Class" leads Box Office, made $56 million but lowest among the last three X-Men filmsBy Angel Cuala on Jun 7, 2011 in Entertainment, Movies, United States, World •
The film "X-Men: First Class" led the Box Office over the weekend, but was said to be the lowest income earner among the last three "X-Men" films.
X-Men: First Class cast on New York Premiere
(May 25, 2011)

As noted at Los Angeles Times on Monday, June 6, "X-Men: First Class" top the weekend box-office tally and its studio 20th Century Fox estimated a $56-million earning in the US and $64 million in overseas.
According to reports, this fifth X-Men movie series had the second to the lowest debut income as the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine reportedly made $85 million on its first week.
Meanwhile, the first X-Men movie reportedly made $54.5 million on its first week and was released in 2000 but made a worldwide total of $296.3 million and was the ninth top-grosser film of that year.
On the other hand, X-2, the second X-Men film which was released in 2003 earned $85.5 million on its first week, and made a total of $407 million, which was said to be three times its production budget.
In 2006, X-Men: The Last Stand earned $102.7 million in its opening weekend and was the highest earner among the X-Men movie series, which made $459.3 million worldwide.
Nevertheless, "X-Men: First Class" beat last week's box-office hit "The Hangover: Part II", which made $32.4 million, as it had only earned a $186.9 million on its ten days of showing.

The Demon Next Door by Bryan Burrough
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I had no idea who this serial killer was when I chose this audiobook. I actually, even with the description, didn't realize it was true until the narrator read the part of looking him up. I did and was surprised that it wasn't a fictional horror book. I thought it was interesting that the author went to high school with the killer, and then went back to get the story. It gave a personal touch to the town. I can't imagine what it must have been like for Brenda with the way the town appeared to embrace and cocoon her attacker. The book gives much to think about in that regard. If you read true crime, this is probably a book that will interest you.
The narrator was okay. His enthusiasm kind of creeped me out at times. Other than that, he did well.

REFUSE collections from shops and businesses are being scrapped by the council after 1 April.
Service bosses say they cannot compete with the prices offered by private firms, so are withdrawing to concentrate on domestic refuse instead.
The move has already caused controversy at Back o' th' Moss community centre, which will no longer have rubbish collected because it is classed as a business.
"The costs for us are higher than for a private company," said head of environmental management, Paula Darlington.
"The government is pushing up the cost of landfill because they want to reduce it and it is more expensive for us because most private firms have their own landfill sites."
"We want to improve the quality of the domestic service instead of trying to compete."
But the move did not make sense to one businessman turned down by the council two months ago.
There were already so many customers that the council could not take on Paul Rothwell's shop, Rod Rest.
"I fail to see how what they are saying could be true," said Paul, who set up the business with brother John last year.
"The council quoted me £6.87 a week for the service I wanted, yet a private company I contacted quoted £7 a week."
"I'm already disappointed that the council let us down in the first place."
"I think it's a cop out to say they can't afford to compete with a private service."
"Heywood is supposed to be undergoing regeneration and trying to attract business. Every business will have waste of some description, so this could put people off."
He is now using a skip to dispose of his rubbish.

OCD Counselling Wolverhampton
Psychological Therapy for OCD & Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Problems
People normally hear or read about obsessive behaviours and disorders being linked with OCD, which is a diagnosis widely used within the mental health profession.
However we have found it more helpful to separate Compulsive Behaviours from Obsessive Behaviours as the way they affect people's lives and the way in which they are experienced is very different.
In general terms a Compulsive Behaviour is one that is undertaken, often with little thought, on impulse or with a sense of having been 'driven' to it, and "instant relief" is felt, however, more frequently than not, this feeling of satisfaction is almost always associated with a sense of Guilt or Shame.
However, with OCD this sense of "relief", the "instant gratification" is often never achieved which leads the sufferer to even greater confusion and conflict.
Frequently, when a particular "routine" or "obsessive thought" fails to provide any kind of relief, the sufferer will conclude that they must carry our longer or more complex repetitions in order to achieve relief.
These "ever-growing" cycles of behaviour or thinking can become "paralysing" and without the appropriate help can lead to an almost complete inability to "function normally".
Obsessions that can be helped
OCD thoughts and behaviours can range from simple everyday behaviours such as tidiness (e.g. placing all food tins in the cupboard with the label facing outwards) to counting numbers or doing sums in their head to the point that they can think of nothing else.
With all OCD problems, it is the degree to which the issue is preoccupying your time and/or limiting your life that is important.
For example, someone who worries about dirt or contamination may simply wash their hands carefully, maybe try and avoid using public toilets, or perhaps ensure they do not touch doors or handles in public toilets even if this means waiting a long time for someone else to open the door so they can nip through 'untouched'.
However, place this same person under stress and they may begin to wash their hands obsessively and for some people this may become ritualistic to the point that their hands are never clean enough to leave their house.
Symptoms of OCD
Below is a list of symptoms that are typically associated with OCD, although the obsessive thinker is capable of "creating" a wide range of complex and variable symptoms:
- Being overly jealous or possessive over a partner
- Eating Disorders (e.g. avoiding certain foods, anorexia)
- Constant worry about something
- Sleeping problems (e.g. insomnia)
- Paranoia
- Excessive exercise
- Continual negative thoughts
- Intrusive thoughts
- Constant counting
- Excessive tidiness
- Rituals
Learn How to Thrive & Overcome OCD
If you want to learn the tools, techniques and coping skills to overcome OCD and realted thinking problems then you should consider following the Thrive Programme with Paul here at Tranceform Psychology.

Over the course of ten one-hourly sessions you will learn about and develop personal insight into how your core beliefs have either helped or hindered you over your life course and then how to use a range of proven scientific methods to bring about changes which directly impact on your experience and the way that you feel.

FREE Initial Consultations for OCD
We offer all prospective clients a FREE initial assessment to chat about your OCD. During this 50 minute consultation we will discuss the various options that are available to you and make a considered recommendation based on your individual personal circumstances.

Even if you already have Life Insurance, we can check if you have the correct cover at the best price with Our Free Personal Insurance Comparison Service.
Term Insurance (also known as Life Insurance)
Level term life assurance is one of the cheapest ways to protect your family's income if the worst happens. About one child in 29 loses a parent before they've finished full-time education – you can save £1,000s while protecting them.
What is level term life assurance?
It's a fancy name, but the simplest type of life insurance around..
It pays out a LEVEL amount to your dependants
if you die within a FIXED TERM
As you've no doubt spotted, there are two key words there:
• Term: You only get a payout if you die within a fixed term, eg, 18 years.
• Level: The payout you get doesn't vary, it's always at a set amount.
So, level term assurance guarantees a lump sum payout upon death within a fixed time, eg, £150,000 if you die within the next 18 years. It's the one policy you hope won't pay out!
While some may be worried that cheaper isn't better, with level term assurance there's no investment element as the payout is fixed, and there's no argument over whether someone is dead! So this is a truly simple policy in most cases, provided you've disclosed adequately. So…It's simply a case of the cheaper, the better!
The 3 Main Reasons Why People Buy Life Insurance
Final Expenses - any expenses related to someone's passing such as coffin, funeral, preparations, cremation or burial and more.
Income Replacement - your loved one depend on your income for daily needs such as food, mortgage or rent payments, utilities, card payments and much more. Plus there may be future expenses such as children's education and spouse's retirement. How would they cope without your monthly income?
Paying Off A Mortgage or Paying Rent - a mortgage or monthly rent is very often the largest expenditure in a family's monthly budget. Could your family afford to pay the mortgage or rent each month without your income?

I happen to really like (err... enjoy) the way Barack Obama pronounces Pakistan. He pronounces it with a soft a sound, the correct way. It's a sign of respect for another country and for a culture that is celebrated as part of the South East Asian communities in the U.S.
Asian American Democrats are a growing constituency and a loyal base for the Democratic party. The fact is that when the Republicans diss immigrants, they aren't just talking about Mexicans, anyone of color or ethnic background is a target of their douchebaggery.

Never Hate. Only Ever Destroy.
May 2008
I came across these today; Giles Bowkett's two cardinal rules:
- Never hate, only ever destroy.
- Forgive everything.
He says of them:
Obviously, I don't hold to these rules as perfectly as I'd like. They're more perpetual goals, really. If I held to them perfectly, I'd be some strange Web 2.0 combination of Jesus Christ and Lord Shiva, a fire-breathing, forgiving, perpetually-twittering angel of death.
The rules appeal to me. My paraphrase would be roughly 'deal with things as thoroughly and quickly as possible, then get over it and move on,' which doesn't seem a bad general principle. (Although it's beginning to smell a bit Nietzschean.)
Fraser commented:
Matt commented:
It occurs to me that these actually do a reasonable job of describing the righteous wrath of YHWH. (See: Sodom and Gomorrah, The Flood, The Plagues.)
KT commented:
Hm. I have issues reconciling forgiveness and destruction. But I may just be a product of my time in that respect.
Matt commented:
Perhaps destruction is not quite the right word. Maybe 'neutralise'? De-fang, disarm? I think what I like is the idea of dealing with something as necessary, then moving on.
Jim commented:
hmmm.. disarm, I remember the, their singer went on to be a part of the legendary tragedy of the commons - destroying (not hating) eardrums and stages
Nato commented:
Think about what you'd do if you went back in time to meet Hitler prior to him starting his regime. Killing him seems to be a reasonable option, in an attempt to save the world from what he did. However, it shouldn't be out of hate, not out of revenge, rather, doing it because it needs to be done for the greater good. Looking in his eyes, saying 'sorry man' (meaning it), and shooting him. Perhaps? What would you do?
KT commented:
Nato: I hate the idea of not giving people a second chance, is all. I would try to fix him. That, to me, would be forgiveness: helping him become better, willing his regeneration. I would probably fail though, which is a flaw in the theory. (Note: this isn't an argument from the innate sacredness of human life, which I'm not sure I hold to; more based on feelings. Yep.)
I suppose the word 'destroy' in the maxim doesn't have to be about destroying people; it could be about destroying the evil they generate.
Nato commented:
Yeah. I'd avoid destroying people because there is usually a chance for redemption, and people often can bring good into this world.
I'd also advocate that you shouldn't really go round doing too much destruction, because who are you to judge what is and isn't right? I feel it's often better to leave people to their own devices, because I'm far from omniscient. When you must make a call about something, don't bring hate into it, love everyone, and do something.
Destruction should never become the norm, rather it should remain the last resort. In a list of what's ideal, you have at the top something like love, down a wee way you have destruction, and then even lower, hate.

The intention is that Everlane gains feedback on that product and creates an updated version before placing another inventory order, much like a tech firm launches versions of its digital products, slowly getting closer and closer to the perfect T-shirt, weekender bag, or cashmere sweater—and the right supply of them.

Pederson Award in Solid-State Circuits Citation: "For the development and demonstration of SPICE as a tool to design and optimize electronic circuits." Perhaps no single development has had as much impact on the microelectronics industry as the SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) program, which originally was developed by Laurence Nagel during his graduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley. SPICE and its subsequent enhancements moved mainstream circuit design from empirical, bread-board-based design into the era of scientifically based simulation and modeling. Nagel incorporated both direct current and alternating current analysis; transient analysis; and, based on adjoint network theory and sparse matrix techniques, efficient sensitivity, noise, and distortion analysis. SPICE was made freely available from the start and was widely adopted by universities, allowing students to learn how circuits work without having to build them and to easily evaluate design alternatives. Today's multibillion-transistor ICs, especially mixed-signal and precision analog ICs, would be impossible without the detailed circuit simulation that SPICE provides. An IEEE Life Fellow, Nagel is president of Omega Enterprises Consulting, Kensington, CA, USA. Award information: The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Award was established by the Board of Directors in 1987. The award was renamed the IEEE Donald O. Pederson Award in Solid-State Circuits in 2005. Don was a co-founder of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Council, the forerunner of today's Solid-State Circuits Society, in 1966, and he was instrumental in launching the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits that same year.

TRAI to create awareness about new broadcasting framework among consumers
MUMBAI: Armed with a favourable verdict from the Supreme Court, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is all set to embark on a consumer outreach programme starting this month.
The idea behind the outreach programme is to create user awareness on the nuances of the new tariff order and interconnection regulation framework for the broadcasting sector.
"For consumers, we will have an outreach programme on the new broadcasting framework. We will explain the new regulations to the consumers, what are their rights and also resolve queries if any," said TRAI Secretary S K Gupta.
He further stated that the modalities of the consumer outreach programme are currently being worked out. Delhi, Jaipur and other locations are being considered for the same.
Commenting on the Supreme Court order, TRAI chairman RS Sharma said that the order will provide offer consumers a choice, bring transparency and better service quality.
"The regulations are "consumer-friendly", as they give people choice to subscribe to channels they want to see, and not be unnecessarily thrust channels in the name of bouquets," he added.
Sharma also said that every channel's maximum retail price (MRP) will be displayed individually in the electronic programme guide so that people will be able to subscribe to individual channels also.
The SC had recently dismissed Star India and Vijay Television's plea challenging the jurisdiction of TRAI to frame the tariff for TV broadcasters.

The signs are inevitable as we age: Sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines will start to show as collagen and elastin production decreases. But something can be done to slow the process down.
Using light-based technology, radio frequency (RF) treatments act to penetrate the skin and heat skin tissue to stimulate collagen fibres and fibroblast cells. This produces new collagen and elastic fibres, which in turn tightens and rejuvenates the skin. The results are firmer and smoother-looking skin.
At Halley, we use a combination of three technologies — multi-polar radio frequency (RF), red light-emitting diode (LED) therapy, and vacuum-suction lymph massage — to slim, contour, and tighten the areas that you want to treat.
Called Halley's Super Trio RF technique, this treatment with no downtime can be used on areas such as the abdomen, thigh area, arms, face, and neck.

The homogeneity testing of EtG in hair reference materials: A high-throughput procedure using GC-NCI-MS (2013)
The validation of a robust quantification procedure for EtG in hair using GC–NCI–MS is presented. Aqueous extraction is followed by complete lyophylization of the extract and derivatization with pentafluoropropionic anhydride (PFPA) under controlled temperature and duration. Clean-up of extracts was dispensable and standard single quadrupole MS displayed sufficient selectivity and sensitivity. The method displayed a wide linearity range and enabled LOD of 0.68 pg/mg, LOQ of 2.4 pg/mg, and precision below 8.12%. Since EtG was seen to display prolonged stability in the aqueous extracts and after derivatization with PFPA this straightforward procedure allows a routine throughput of large quantities of samples with little proneness to procedural scatter of results. The method was applied to demonstrate the homogeneity of two hair reference materials with mean EtG contents of 8.48 pg/mg and 22.0 pg/mg. Aside from the application in homogeneity studies of hair reference materials predominantly in the concentration range of 10–50 pg/mg the method was also designed for daily routine quantification of real-world sample with regard to drinking behavior assessment.
The concentration of contaminants in groundwater samples can be decreased by degradation in the time course between field sampling and quantification in the laboratory, especially in samples from sites where degradation activity is enhanced by remediation measures. The sampling sites covered a variety of priority organic pollutants such as volatile aromatic and chlorinated compounds, phenols and petroleum hydrocarbons and different remediation strategies such as anaerobic and aerobic microbial in situ degradation, in situ chemical oxidation, and on-site purification with biological treatment. The stability of the contaminants' concentration was investigated over a time range of several hours without cooling in the autosampler of the analytical equipment (short term) and over several days of storage until analysis (long term). A number of stabilisation techniques suggested in international standards ISO 5667-3:2013 and ASTM D6517:2000 were compared both with regard to short term and long term stabilisation of the contaminants and their practicability for field sampling campaigns. Long term storage turned out to be problematic for most compound groups even under cooling. Short term stability was problematic also for volatiles such as benzenic aromates, naphthalene and volatile organic halogenated compounds to be analysed by headspace gas chromatography. Acidification (pH <2) was sufficient to prevent degradation of benzenic aromates, naphthalene, phenols and petrol hydrocarbons for up to seven days. The use of acids was not applicable to stabilise volatiles in waters rich in carbonates and sulphides due to stripping of the volatiles with the liberated gases. The addition of sodium azide was successfully used for stabilisation of volatile organic halogenated compounds.
Quantification of ethyl glucuronide in hair: The effect of milling and sonication on the extraction efficiency (2013)
Aim: The objective of the study was to provide conclusive evidence for the effect of particle size reduction as by milling on the extractable content of ethyl glucuronide (EtG) of hair samples. Methods: A number of real case hair samples and two pooled hair materials with EtG contents in the range of 1030 pg/mg were systematically compared with regard to the extraction yield of EtG after cutting to 23 mm length and pulverization with a ball mill. After the respective treatment the samples were submitted to aqueous extraction followed by quantification of EtG using HPLC-MS/MS. Results: It was unequivocally demonstrated that milling of hair samples prior to aqueous extraction significantly increases the extractable EtG content compared with cut hair. The effect ranged between 137 and 230% and was seen to occur regardless of the extent of pulverization. Cooling of samples was not necessary to prevent partial degradation of EtG during the grinding procedure. Conclusion: The options currently employed at choice in analytical practice (cutting or milling) were seen to significantly affect the extractable amount of EtG in hair. This is suspected to influence the degree of equivalence of quantification results obtained in different laboratories as well as their respective classification of a test subject's drinking behaviour on the basis of currently recommended cut-off values.
The title compound [systematic name: (2R,3R,4S,5R,6R) 2-(acetoxymethyl)-6-propoxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-3,4,5-triyl triacetate], C17H26O10, was formed by a Koenigs-Knorr reaction of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide and n-propanol. The central ring adopts a chair conformation. The crystal does not contain any significant interactions such as hydrogen bonds.
The title compound, {2-[(2-carbamoylethyl)amino]-3-methylpentanoic acid}, C9H18N2O3, is of interest with respect to its biological activity. It was formed during an addition reaction between acrylamide and the amino acid isoleucine. The crystal structure is a three-dimensional network built up by intermolecular N–H···O and O–H···N hydrogen bonds.
Hydrothermally carbonized plant materials: Patterns of volatile organic compounds detected by gas chromatography (2013)
The nature and concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in chars generated by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is of concern considering their application as soil amendment. Therefore, the presence of VOCs in solid HTC products obtained from wheat straw, biogas digestate and four woody materials was investigated using headspace gas chromatography. A variety of potentially harmful benzenic, phenolic and furanic volatiles along with various aldehydes and ketones were identified in feedstock- and temperature-specific patterns. The total amount of VOCs observed after equilibration between headspace and char samples produced at 270 °C ranged between 2000 and 16,000 µg/g (0.2–1.6 wt.%). Depending on feedstock 50–9000 µg/g of benzenes and 300–1800 µg/g of phenols were observed. Substances potentially harmful to soil ecology such as benzofurans (200–800 µg/g) and p-cymene (up to 6000 µg/g in pine wood char) exhibited concentrations that suggest restrained application of fresh hydrochar as soil amendment or for water purification.

Pardini Grip Angle Change
Submitted by John Bickar on Wed, 12/19/2007 - 11:36
I bought a Pardini SP New Rapid Fire pistol this past September as an upgrade from the Walther GSP I was using. The GSP worked, I had pushed into the high 570s with it, but it was time for a dedicated .22LR RF pistol.
After I did all the initial setup that you normally do with a new pistol, I determined that the grip angle was still too severe. I had the grip cut to fit my hand just fine, but when I lifted the gun, the front sight was way above the rear notch.
I decided to go the route of changing the angle of the inlet, rather than reconstructing the entire grip from the outside. What follows is how I accomplished that.
Step 1: Determining the Proper Angle
I really like the angle of the Walther GSP. I've been shooting that gun for almost 15 years, and when I pick it up, the sights are just aligned. It's like an old friend.
I knew that the angles were different between the Pardini and the Walther, but how much? With the help of a digital camera and the Photoshop Measure function, I figured it to be about 10º.
Step 2: Creating a Form of the Frame
Next, I needed to create a "negative" of the grip inlet; fortunately, this is just a replication of the portion of the frame that fits in the grip. I decided to make it out of 3/32" basswood, which is sturdy enough to hold up to the Bondo, yet easy enough to work with that I knew I could shape it however I wanted. I use Sobo glue instead of Elmer's or wood glue because it's not water-based, therefore it doesn't make the basswood swell.
I just traced the frame contour onto two pieces of basswood, then used consistent-width pieces to provide internal structure and external contour. This part of the process was not particularly difficult, just tedious and meticulous.
The overall width of the form needs to be exactly the same as the width of the frame. Don't forget to include the width of the basswood in your calculations (3/32" x2).
Step 3: Backfilling the Grip Inlet
I used Bondo to fill in behind the basswood form. I like to mix it until it's about the color of bubble gum. It dries in about 5-10 minutes. I just slathered the outside of the form with a release agent (Vaseline), slathered the inlet portion of the grip with Bondo, then mushed the form down into the grip and let the excess Bondo ooze out.
- A couple of pointers:
- Be sure to press down hard enough on the form so that it touches the wood of the grip in as many places as possible. It won't hit a bearing surface in the rear (that portion should be filled in with Bondo), but it should bear on the bottom of the inlet.
- Try not to fill up the mounting bolt hole with Bondo. I had to trim down a 3/16" dowel to fit, but it still got filled in a bit. It's easy enough to knock out the Bondo with a drill once it dries, as the Bondo is significantly softer than the wood of the grip
- It helps to lay out guidelines with a protractor on a large sheet of paper so that you can angle the basswood form properly at 10º. You really need to get the Bondo slathered, the basswood form inserted, and the angle set properly within 60 seconds or so of mixing the Bondo, so don't dally.
That's It!
I approached this with much trepidation, but it turned out not to be too complicated. I've posted many more pictures of the process here.
